Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dried fruit and vegetable processing, in particular to mushroom soaking equipment for dried fruit and vegetable processing. Background Art

[0002] Dried fruits and vegetables such as dried shiitake mushrooms are foods made from shiitake mushrooms. During the processing of dried shiitake mushrooms, the stems of fresh shiitake mushrooms must be removed and cleaned. The remaining mushrooms are then chopped into shiitake mushroom cubes, air-dried, and then canned to make finished dried shiitake mushrooms.

[0003] At present, most of the cleaning methods for shiitake mushrooms are soaked and then manually cleaned. However, manual cleaning is done by washing the mushrooms with clean water after they are piled together and kept in a static state, which results in incomplete cleaning of impurities such as mud on some shiitake mushrooms. This is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Therefore, we propose a shiitake mushroom soaking and washing equipment for dried fruit and vegetable processing. Utility Model Content

[0007] The main shaft and the secondary shaft are intermittently connected via a Maltese cross movement assembly, and the rotation of the main shaft drives the secondary shaft to rotate intermittently;

[0009] The piston rod and the main shaft are connected by a linkage structure. When the main shaft rotates, it drives the piston rod to move back and forth to push the piston to move back and forth in the piston cylinder.

[0012] The above-mentioned mushroom soaking equipment for processing dried fruits and vegetables: the Maltese cross movement assembly includes a driving wheel fixed on the main shaft and a driven wheel fixed on the secondary shaft, and the driving wheel and the driven wheel are intermittently connected.

[0013] The mushroom soaking equipment for processing dried fruits and vegetables as described above: the number of the nozzles is set to be multiple, and the multiple nozzles are distributed at equal intervals at the bottom of the driven wheel.

[0014] The above-mentioned mushroom soaking equipment for processing dried fruits and vegetables: the linkage structure includes a sleeve movably mounted on the main shaft and an annular track groove opened on the main shaft, the inner wall of the sleeve is embedded with a ball, the ball is movably engaged in the annular track groove and can roll along the track where the annular track groove is located, a connecting plate is fixedly connected between the sleeve and the piston rod, a limiting rod is fixed on the cleaning box, and the limiting rod is movably inserted into the through hole opened in the connecting plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: a secondary shaft is provided on the washing box for rotation, a stirring paddle is fixed on the secondary shaft for stirring the mushrooms, and the mushrooms are stirred by the rotation of the stirring paddle;

[0016] The main shaft and the secondary shaft are intermittently connected via a Maltese cross movement assembly. When the main shaft rotates, the secondary shaft is driven to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the stirring paddle to rotate intermittently to stir the mushrooms soaked in water.

[0017] The cleaning box is provided with a flushing mechanism for flushing impurities on the surface of the mushrooms in the cleaning box, and the flushing mechanism includes a fixing frame, a piston cylinder, etc.

[0018] The piston rod and the main shaft are connected by a linkage structure. When the main shaft rotates, it drives the piston rod to move back and forth to push the piston to move back and forth in the piston cylinder.

In addition, the continuous rotation of the main shaft drives the intermittent rotation of the secondary shaft, thereby driving the stirring paddle to rotate intermittently to stir the mushrooms soaked in water. The mushrooms are stirred by the intermittent rotation of the stirring paddle and the surface of the mushrooms are intermittently rinsed by the nozzle. On the one hand, the intermittent stirring allows the impurities after the mushrooms are rinsed to naturally settle to the bottom of the water tank after passing through the filter holes at the bottom of the cleaning box under the action of gravity, avoiding the accelerated flow of water inside the cleaning box caused by continuous stirring, which makes the dirt impurities unable to settle naturally and affect the impurity removal effect. On the other hand, the intermittent stirring reserves time for the mushrooms to naturally float still on the water surface inside the cleaning box, thereby cooperating with the nozzle to rinse the surface of the mushrooms, improving the impurity removal effect of the mushrooms and avoiding the problem of manual cleaning consuming a lot of labor.

After soaking for a period of time, the motor 8 is started to drive the main shaft 7 to rotate continuously, which can drive the piston rod 12 to move back and forth to push the piston 13 to move back and forth in the piston cylinder 11. In combination with the water outlet pipe 20, the water inlet pipe 21 and the nozzle 14, the water at the bottom of the cleaning box 2 can be drawn into the piston cylinder 11 and the nozzle 14 is used again to intermittently rinse the surface of the shiitake mushrooms to remove impurities such as soil on the surface of the shiitake mushrooms. In addition, the main shaft 7 rotates continuously to drive the secondary shaft 5 to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the stirring The paddle 6 rotates intermittently to stir the mushrooms soaked in water. The mushrooms are stirred by the intermittent rotation of the stirring paddle 6, and the surface of the mushrooms is intermittently rinsed by the nozzle 14. On the one hand, the intermittent stirring allows the impurities after the mushrooms are rinsed to pass through the filter holes 4 at the bottom of the cleaning box 2 under the action of gravity and naturally settle to the bottom of the inner side of the water tank 1, avoiding the accelerated flow of water inside the cleaning box 2 caused by continuous stirring, which prevents the soil impurities from naturally settling and affects the impurity removal effect. On the other hand, the intermittent stirring reserves time for the mushrooms to naturally float still on the water surface inside the cleaning box 2, thereby cooperating with the nozzle 14 to rinse the surface of the mushrooms, thereby improving the impurity removal effect of the mushrooms.

[0046] The above embodiments are exemplary rather than restrictive, so any technical solution of the present invention that can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention is included in the present invention.
