[0002] Citrus fruit processing cleaning equipment refers to equipment specifically designed for cleaning citrus fruits. This equipment typically includes a cleaning system: a system for washing the citrus fruits, usually consisting of water tanks, spray systems, and scrubbing devices; and a water circulation system: a system for recycling the cleaning water, usually consisting of water pumps and filtration devices. The water circulation system reduces water waste and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0003] Existing citrus fruit processing cleaning equipment has the following disadvantages during use:

[0004] After the citrus fruits are cleaned, they need to be manually scooped out, which is very inconvenient when unloading the cleaned fruits. Therefore, a cleaning equipment for citrus fruit processing is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for citrus fruit processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for citrus fruit processing, comprising a cleaning box with an opening at the top, a brush roller a rotatably connected to the center of the inner wall of the cleaning box, gears a fixedly connected to the outer sides of the shaft portions at both ends of the brush roller a, and one end of the shaft portion of the brush roller a extending to the outer side of the cleaning box and connected to the output shaft of a motor, the motor being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning box, and U-shaped moving plates movably inserted into both side walls of the cleaning box, with two brush rollers b rotatably connected to each U-shaped moving plate, the shaft portions at both ends of the two brush rollers b extending to the U-shaped moving plates. On the outside of the moving plate, a gear b is fixedly connected. The two gears b mesh with each other, and the gear b closest to gear a meshes with gear a. Below one of the U-shaped moving plates, there is a discharge port opened on one side wall of the cleaning tank. At the discharge port, there is a baffle that is rotatably connected to the inside of the cleaning tank via a connecting shaft. On one side of the baffle, there is an inclined plate fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The top of the inclined plate has a slope. At the top of the inclined plate facing the baffle, there is an alignment notch to facilitate the baffle to flip down and be supported. Below the inclined plate, there is a filter screen fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank.

[0007] It also includes a rinsing device and a linkage switching discharge structure. The rinsing device is installed on the cleaning tank, and the linkage switching discharge structure is installed on the cleaning tank and connected to one end extension of the connecting shaft and the outer side of the two U-shaped moving plates.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the rinsing device includes a rinsing pipe fixed to the middle of the top of the cleaning tank by two support blocks. Atomizing nozzles are fixed at multiple water outlets at the bottom of the rinsing pipe. One end of the rinsing pipe is fixedly connected to an inverted L-shaped water supply pipe, and the other end is closed. The bottom end of the inverted L-shaped water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet of a water pump. The bottom inlet of the water pump is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank through an L-shaped water suction pipe.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the linkage switching discharge structure includes a gear c fixedly attached to the outer side of the extension of the connecting shaft away from the water pump. An L-shaped toothed plate is meshed below the gear c. Two sliding seats distributed vertically are fixedly attached to the back of the L-shaped toothed plate. The sliding seats are slidably connected in the sliding groove provided on the front side of the connecting seat. The connecting seats are fixedly attached to the outside of the cleaning tank.

[0010] In one preferred embodiment, the L-shaped toothed plate has a transmission channel with a vertical cross-section resembling a hockey stick. A transmission column is movably connected in the transmission channel. An inverted L-shaped toothed plate is fixed to the outer side of the front end of the transmission column. A support seat is provided below the L-shaped toothed plate and is fixed to an electric telescopic rod on the outer wall of the cleaning tank. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is fixed to the inverted L-shaped toothed plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a turntable is provided above the connecting seat and is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank via a rotating shaft. Two push-pull rods arranged in a circular array are rotatably connected to the edge of the turntable surface. The opposite ends of the two push-pull rods are rotatably connected to the outer side of the U-shaped moving plate. A gear d is also fixedly connected to the front extension of the rotating shaft. When the inverted L-shaped toothed plate is pushed up to a certain height by the electric telescopic rod, it will actively drive the gear d.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating shaft has an insertion hole, in which a pin is movably inserted, and one end of the pin is fixed to the outside of the L-shaped toothed plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the cleaning equipment for citrus fruit processing provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In this invention, when using the citrus fruit processing and cleaning equipment, multiple citrus fruits are fed onto the top of brush roller a and two brush rollers b, which are rotatably connected to two U-shaped moving plates. By starting the motor, gear a drives the two adjacent gears b, and each gear b also meshes with gear b on the same side, causing brush roller a and all four brush rollers b to rotate simultaneously. Combined with the rinsing device and filter screen, the cleaning water is circulated, purified, and then sprayed downwards through multiple atomizing nozzles, thus rinsing the placed citrus fruits. When the citrus fruits are ready to be discharged, the electric telescopic rod is activated, pushing the inverted L-shaped toothed plate upwards. During the upward movement of the inverted L-shaped toothed plate, the transmission column moves within the transmission channel. Based on the shape design of the transmission channel, the L-shaped toothed plate moves to the left via two sliding seats. The gear c is driven, which simultaneously moves the insert to the left, disengaging it from the insertion hole on the rotating shaft. This causes the baffle to flip downwards via the connecting shaft and overlap with the alignment notch, creating a downward tilting unloading tendency between the baffle and the inclined plate towards the discharge outlet. This seals the drain hole formed between the end of the alignment notch on the inclined plate and the inner wall of the washing tank, preventing the citrus fruit from falling to the bottom of the washing tank during unloading. As the inverted L-shaped toothed plate continues to move upwards, it drives the gear d, causing the rotating shaft to rotate the turntable clockwise. Combined with the push-pull rod, this causes the two U-shaped moving plates to move away from each other, creating gaps on both sides of the brush roller a for the citrus fruit to fall onto the inclined plate and be discharged from the outlet via the baffle. This significantly improves the discharge efficiency of the washed citrus fruit, eliminating the need for manual retrieval. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example

[0025] After the citrus fruits are washed, they need to be manually scooped out, which makes it very inconvenient to remove the cleaned fruits.

[0026] For this purpose, please refer to Figure 1-5This utility model provides a cleaning device for citrus fruit processing, comprising: a cleaning box 1 with an opening at the top; a brush roller a2 rotatably connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1; gears a21 fixedly connected to the outer sides of the shaft portions at both ends of the brush roller a2; one end of the shaft portion of the brush roller a2 extends to the outer side of the cleaning box 1 and is connected to the output shaft of a motor 22; the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning box 1; and U-shaped moving plates 3 are movably inserted into both side walls of the cleaning box 1. Two brush rollers b31 are rotatably connected to each U-shaped moving plate 3, and the shaft portions at both ends of the two brush rollers b31 extend to the outer side of the U-shaped moving plate 3 and are fixedly connected to gears b31. 2. Two gears b32 mesh with each other, and the gear b32 closest to gear a21 meshes with gear a21. One of the U-shaped moving plates 3 has an outlet 5 on one side wall of the cleaning tank 1 below it. The outlet 5 has a baffle 52 rotatably connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 via a connecting shaft 51. The baffle 52 also has an inclined plate 6 fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 on one side. The top of the inclined plate 6 has a slope. The top of the inclined plate 6 facing the baffle 52 has an alignment notch 61 to facilitate the baffle 52 to be flipped down for support. The bottom of the inclined plate 6 has a filter screen 7 fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1.

[0027] It also includes a rinsing device 4 and a linkage switching discharge structure 8. The rinsing device 4 is installed on the cleaning tank 1, and the linkage switching discharge structure 8 is installed on the cleaning tank 1 and connected to one end extension of the connecting shaft 51 and the outer side of the two U-shaped moving plates 3.

[0028] Further as Figure 1-5 As shown, it is worth noting that the rinsing device 4 includes a rinsing pipe 41 fixed to the top center of the cleaning tank 1 by two support blocks. Atomizing nozzles 42 are fixed at multiple water outlets at the bottom of the rinsing pipe 41. One end of the rinsing pipe 41 is fixedly connected to an inverted L-shaped water supply pipe 43, and the other end is closed. The bottom end of the inverted L-shaped water supply pipe 43 is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump 44. The bottom inlet of the water pump 44 is connected to the inner bottom of the cleaning tank 1 through an L-shaped water suction pipe 45.

[0029] Further as Figure 1-5As shown, it is worth noting that the linkage switching discharge structure 8 includes a gear c81 fixed to the outer side of the extension of the connecting shaft 51 away from the water pump 44. An L-shaped toothed plate 82 is meshed below the gear c81. Two vertically distributed sliding seats 83 are fixed to the back of the L-shaped toothed plate 82. The sliding seats 83 are slidably connected to the sliding groove provided on the front side of the connecting seat 84. The connecting seat 84 is fixed to the outer side of the cleaning tank 1. A transmission channel 85 with a vertical cross-section in the shape of a hockey stick is opened on the L-shaped toothed plate 82. A transmission column 86 is movably connected in the transmission channel 85. An inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87 is fixed to the outer side of the front end of the transmission column 86. A support seat is provided below the L-shaped toothed plate 82 and fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. An electric telescopic rod 88 is provided, with its telescopic end fixed to an inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87. Above the connecting seat 84, a turntable 810 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 via a rotating shaft 89. Two push-pull rods 812 arranged in a circular array are rotatably connected to the edge of the surface of the turntable 810. The opposite ends of the two push-pull rods 812 are rotatably connected to the outside of the U-shaped moving plate 3. A gear d811 is also fixedly connected to the front extension of the rotating shaft 89. When the inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87 is pushed up to a certain height by the electric telescopic rod 88, it will actively drive the gear d811. An insertion hole is provided on the rotating shaft 89, and an insertion post 813 is movably inserted into the insertion hole. One end of the insertion post 813 is fixedly connected to the outside of the L-shaped toothed plate 82.

[0030] The width of the transmission channel 85 is equal to the diameter of the transmission column 86. The insertion column 813 and the insertion hole are designed to prevent the rotating shaft 89 from driving the turntable 810 to move during the cleaning process, which would affect the cleaning efficiency.

[0031] In summary: When using this citrus fruit processing cleaning equipment, multiple citrus fruits are fed onto the top of brush roller a2 and two brush rollers b31 rotatably connected to two U-shaped moving plates 3. By starting the motor 22, gear a21 will drive two adjacent gears b32. However, gears b32 also mesh with gears b32 on the same side, causing brush roller a2 and four brush rollers b31 to rotate simultaneously. With the addition of the rinsing device 4 and filter screen 7, the cleaning water can be circulated and purified before being sprayed downwards through multiple atomizing nozzles, thus rinsing the placed citrus fruits. When the citrus fruits need to be discharged after rinsing, the electric telescopic rod 88 can be activated, pushing the inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87 upward. During the upward movement of the inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87, the transmission column 86 moves in the transmission channel 85. Combined with the shape design of the transmission channel 85, the L-shaped toothed plate 82 moves to the left through two sliding seats 83, and engages with gear c. 81 drives the transmission and simultaneously moves the insertion post 813 to the left, disengaging it from the insertion hole on the rotating shaft 89. This causes the baffle 52 to flip downwards via the connecting shaft 51 and overlap with the alignment recess 61, causing the baffle 52 and the inclined plate 6 to tilt downwards towards the discharge port 5 for unloading. However, this also seals the drain hole formed between one end of the alignment recess 61 on the inclined plate 6 and the inner wall of the washing tank 1, preventing the citrus fruit from falling into the bottom of the washing tank 1 during unloading. When the inverted L-shaped toothed plate 87 continues to move upwards, it can drive the gear d811, causing the rotating shaft 89 to drive the turntable 810 to rotate clockwise. With the push-pull rod 812, the two U-shaped moving plates 3 move away from each other, creating gaps on both sides of the brush roller a2 for the citrus fruit to fall onto the inclined plate 6 and be discharged from the discharge port 5 via the baffle 52. This greatly improves the discharge efficiency of the citrus fruit after washing, eliminating the need for manual retrieval.
