Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cleaning technology, and in particular to a pre-prepared vegetable air-rush thawing and cleaning tank. Background Technology
[0002] Pre-cooked meals, also known as ready-made dishes, are a product of the food industry. The process of making pre-cooked meals requires the washing of vegetables and fruits. In the past, this was mostly done manually, but now various washing equipment on the market has greatly improved the efficiency of washing. Among them, the air-pump washing machine has become the mainstream choice. The principle of the air-pump washing machine is mainly to use high-pressure gas to blow into the washing tank, causing the water in the washing tank to tumble, thereby washing the vegetables and fruits.
[0003] Existing technologies have the following problems:
[0004] Extensive research revealed that Chinese Patent No. CN215563059 discloses a rapid vegetable cleaning pool. This utility model includes a water pool with an air supply pipe installed inside. One end of the air supply pipe extends outside the water pool and is connected to an air pump. A vibrating screen is installed horizontally above the water pool to shake off mud or water adhering to the surface of the vegetables. A carrier box is hung on the vibrating screen to hold the mud or water. A vibrating element is provided on the water pool to drive the vibrating screen to vibrate. This utility model uses the vibrating element to drive the vibrating screen to shake, thereby removing mud or water adhering to the vegetables. The air pump and air supply pipe draw outside air into the water pool to generate bubbles, thereby performing a secondary cleaning of the vegetables.
[0005] However, the above-mentioned patent still has some problems in actual use. The most obvious problem is that during the washing of fruits and vegetables, the residual leaves on the fruits and vegetables will float on the water surface, which is not conducive to subsequent collection and cleaning. In addition, when the washed fruits and vegetables are taken out of the washing pool, the residual leaves are easy to adhere to the surface of the fruits and vegetables and are taken out with the fruits and vegetables.
[0006] To address these shortcomings, we proposed an air-pump thawing and cleaning tank for pre-prepared dishes. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an air-rush type defrosting and cleaning tank for pre-prepared dishes.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a pre-prepared vegetable air-pump thawing and cleaning tank, comprising a cleaning tank with an internal cleaning zone and a collection zone, a lead screw module installed on the cleaning tank, a support frame installed on the lead screw module, and a storage cylinder placed on the support frame, a second air pipe installed on the inner bottom surface of the cleaning zone, a third air pipe connected to the second air pipe, and a second air nozzle installed on the third air pipe, an air pump fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a three-way valve installed at the air outlet of the air pump, a first air pipe suspended at the position corresponding to the collection zone on the inner wall of the cleaning zone, and a first air nozzle installed on the surface of the first air pipe, one end of the first air pipe and the second air pipe connected to the three-way valve, and a control panel and scale lines installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank.

[0013] Preferably, a drain pipe is installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning tank, and a valve is installed on the surface of the drain pipe.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a collection area, the air pump works to send high-pressure gas into the first air pipe, and then blows it out from several first air nozzles. This can blow the vegetable and fruit residues and impurities floating on the water surface of the washing area to the collection area, which is convenient for subsequent retrieval and cleaning of the vegetable and fruit residues and impurities, reducing the workload of the staff. At the same time, it avoids the problem of residues and impurities being taken out along with the vegetables and fruits during the process of taking them out of the washing pool. It achieves two goals at once, is highly practical, and is worth promoting.

A second air pipe 10 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the cleaning zone 2, and a third air pipe 11 is connected to the second air pipe 10, with a second air nozzle 12 installed on the third air pipe 11. An air pump 7 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1, and a three-way valve is installed at the air outlet of the air pump 7. A first air pipe 8 is suspended on the inner wall of the cleaning zone 2 at a position corresponding to the collection zone 3, and a first air nozzle 9 is installed on the surface of the first air pipe 8. One end of the first air pipe 8 and the second air pipe 10 are connected to the three-way valve. A control panel 14 and scale lines 15 are installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. During use, water and salt are added to the cleaning tank 1 to remove impurities from the vegetables. The pesticide residue and small insects are removed from the container. The fruits and vegetables that need to be thawed and cleaned are then placed in the storage cylinder 4, which is placed on the support frame 6. The screw module 5 drives the support frame 6 to move up and down, which can move the fruits and vegetables up and down. After the fruits and vegetables are completely in the cleaning area 2, the air pump 7 is started. The air pump 7 works to send high-pressure gas into the first air pipe 8, and then blows it out from several first air nozzles 9. This can blow the fruit and vegetable residues and impurities floating on the water surface of the cleaning area 2 to the collection area 3, which is convenient for subsequent retrieval and cleaning of fruit and vegetable residues and impurities, reducing the workload of the staff. At the same time, it avoids the problem of residues and impurities being taken out with the fruits and vegetables when they are taken out of the cleaning pool 1. It achieves two goals at once, is highly practical, and is worth promoting. Secondly, the screw module 5 drives the storage cylinder 4 to move upward, which can quickly retrieve and drain the water from the cleaned fruits and vegetables, improving the efficiency of fruit retrieval.
[0027] In this implementation scheme: the control panel 14 is electrically connected to the lead screw module 5 and the air pump 7 via wires.
[0028] Specifically, the common circuit connection structure will not be elaborated on here.
[0029] In this embodiment, multiple third air pipes 11 are provided, and the multiple third air pipes 11 are equidistantly distributed on the inner bottom surface of the cleaning area 2.
[0030] Specifically, it improves the air surge effect, making the water tumbling effect more ideal and the cleaning more thorough.
[0031] In this embodiment: multiple first air nozzles 9 are provided, and the multiple first air nozzles 9 are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the first air tube 8.
[0032] Specifically, it improves the blowing effect and efficiency of floating debris on the water surface, and reduces the likelihood of dead zones.
[0033] In this embodiment, there are multiple second air nozzles 12, and the multiple second air nozzles 12 are equidistantly distributed on the surface of the third air tube 11.
[0034] Specifically, the air surge effect is more ideal, and the washing of fruits and vegetables is more ideal.
[0035] In this implementation plan: a drain pipe 13 is installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, and a valve is installed on the surface of the drain pipe 13.
[0036] Specifically, it can drain the wastewater and dirt after cleaning.
[0037] In this implementation scheme: the controller is an existing structure, and the control circuit can be implemented by a person skilled in the art through simple programming. It is common knowledge in the art, and it is only used without modification. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail.
[0038] Working principle: During use, water and salt are added to the washing tank 1 to remove pesticide residues and small insects from the vegetables. Then, the fruits and vegetables that need to be thawed and washed are placed in the storage cylinder 4, which is placed on the support frame 6. The screw module 5 drives the support frame 6 to move up and down, which moves the fruits and vegetables up and down. After the fruits and vegetables are completely in the washing area 2, the air pump 7 is started. The air pump 7 delivers high-pressure gas into the first air pipe 8, and then blows it out from several first air nozzles 9. This blows the fruit and vegetable residues and impurities floating on the water surface of the washing area 2 towards the collection area 3, making it easier to retrieve and clean them later. This reduces the workload of the staff and avoids the problem of residues and impurities being taken out with the fruits and vegetables when they are taken out of the washing tank 1. It is a win-win situation, highly practical, and worth promoting. Secondly, the screw module 5 drives the storage cylinder 4 to move upward, which can quickly scoop out the washed fruits and vegetables and drain the water, improving the efficiency of fruit retrieval.
[0039] It should be noted that the model and specifications of the lead screw module 5 and the air pump 7 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.
[0040] The power supply and operating principle of the lead screw module 5 and the air pump 7 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0041] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
