Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of strawberry cleaning, and particularly relates to a cleaning device for strawberry processing. Background Technique

[0002] Strawberries are perennial herbaceous plants of the genus Fragaria in the Rosaceae family. Strawberry roots are relatively shallow. The stems can be divided into new stems, rhizomes, and stolons. Strawberry leaves are basal trifoliate compound leaves with long petioles. Most of the flowers are bisexual flowers, and the inflorescence is a limited cyme. The fruit of the strawberry is formed by the swelling and development of the receptacle. The fruit growth curve is typically S-shaped. Strawberry seeds are achenes formed by the swelling of the fertilized ovary and are attached to the surface of the swollen receptacle. Strawberries are low-growing herbaceous plants and are prone to contamination by soil and bacteria during growth, and their diseases and pests also occur from time to time. Pesticides are sprayed during their growth process. Before processing strawberries into food, thorough cleaning must be done.

[0003] Currently, when cleaning strawberries, the strawberries need to be sent into a bubble cleaning machine. After the impurities attached to the strawberries are cleaned, a conveyor belt is used to take the strawberries outwards. During transportation, a water spray head is used to rinse the surface of the strawberries. However, the strawberries on the conveyor belt are in a stacked state, and the water spray head cannot completely rinse the sewage on the surface of the strawberries. Therefore, we have proposed a strawberry processing and cleaning device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that when the existing strawberry cleaning device is in use, the strawberries on the conveyor belt are in a stacked state, and the water spray head cannot completely rinse the sewage on the surface of the strawberries.

The lower-side conveying channel of the two conveying channels is connected to the end of a bubble cleaning machine. The flushing assembly is arranged on the processing cylinder. A rotating column is rotatably installed in the processing cylinder. A plurality of stirring pieces are fixedly installed on the rotating column. An installation frame is provided at the lower end of the processing cylinder. A driving motor is arranged in the installation frame. A plurality of water leakage holes and installation grooves are provided at the lower end of the processing cylinder. A rotating roller is rotatably installed in the installation groove.

[0007] It is further defined that the flushing assembly includes a cover plate, a water pipe and a plurality of water spray heads, the treatment barrel is provided with an adapter, the cover plate is rotatably mounted on the adapter, a water supply trough is provided inside the cover plate, the water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the cover plate, the water supply pipe is connected to the water supply trough, and a plurality of water spray heads are arranged at the lower end of the cover plate, and the input end of the water spray head is connected to the water supply trough. With such a structural design, when the water spray head is working, it can spray water into the treatment barrel to rinse the strawberries in the treatment barrel, so as to rinse the sewage on the surface of the strawberries clean.

[0008] It is further defined that a conveyor belt driven by a motor is provided in the conveying channel, the upper end of the conveyor belt is located on the same plane as the bottom of the inner wall of the treatment cylinder, and a support leg is fixedly installed on the conveying channel. Such a structural design is simple in structure and easy to use.

[0009] It is further defined that a drainage trough is installed on the fixing rod above the support leg, and the drainage trough is located below the treatment cylinder and the two conveying channels. With such a structural design, sewage and impurities can be discharged in time through the drainage trough.

[0010] It is further defined that the toggle piece is made of elastic rubber material, and the corners of the toggle piece are rounded. With such a structural design, the toggle piece made of elastic rubber material can protect the strawberries when toggled to prevent the strawberries from being damaged.

[0011] The utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following advantages:

[0012] According to the utility model, when the rotating column rotates, the shifting piece can continuously transfer the strawberries on the conveyor belt on one side to the other side. When the shifting piece shifts the strawberries into the processing cylinder and contacts the rotating roller, the rotating roller cooperates with the shifting piece to turn the strawberries over. Under the flushing of the water flow at the water spray head, the sewage and attached impurities on the surface of the strawberries will be taken away through the water leakage holes, so that the strawberries can be cleaned more completely.
