Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit and vegetable sorting equipment, and more specifically, to a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit and vegetable transport cleaning machines play a crucial role in the fruit cleaning process. Through their unique design and functions, they can efficiently remove dirt, residue, and moisture from the surface of fruits, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene standards of the fruits.

[0003] The water-absorbing brushes in some existing fruit and vegetable transport cleaning machines are consumable parts, but some of these brushes are difficult to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine that can improve the disassembly efficiency of the water-absorbing brush.

[0005] The embodiments of this utility model can be implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine, comprising:

[0007] Frame;

[0008] A water-absorbing brush assembly includes two support bases, a first connector, a second connector, and a water-absorbing brush. The two support bases are spaced apart on the frame along a first direction. The first connector is connected to one of the support bases and is movably connected to one end of the water-absorbing brush. The water-absorbing brush can rotate relative to the first connector along its own axis. The second connector is connected to the other support base and is fixedly connected to the other end of the water-absorbing brush.

[0009] The first connector can move relative to the support base and the absorbent brush in a first direction, and the absorbent brush can also move in the first direction away from the second connector to disengage from the second connector. The first direction is parallel to the axis of the absorbent brush.

[0010] With the above settings, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the absorbent brush, the first connector can be moved away from the absorbent brush in the first direction until the first connector is separated from the absorbent brush. Then the absorbent brush can be moved away from the second connector so that the absorbent brush can be dislodged from the second connector, thus making it easier for the user to replace the absorbent brush.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the absorbent brush assembly further includes an elastic element connected to a first connector, the first connector being able to connect to the absorbent brush according to the elastic force of the elastic element.

[0012] With the above settings, the first connector can ensure the stability of the connection with the absorbent brush under the action of elastic force, and prevent it from easily coming off the absorbent brush under the action of external force.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the first connector includes a first connecting shaft and a first water-blocking component. The first connecting shaft passes through one of the support seats and has a connecting portion at one end near the water-absorbing brush. The radial dimension of the connecting portion is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting shaft and is used to connect with the water-absorbing brush. The first water-blocking component is sleeved on the connecting shaft and abuts against the support seat. An elastic component is sleeved on the connecting shaft and its two ends abut against the connecting portion and the first water-blocking component, respectively. The elastic component is in a compressed state.

[0014] With the above settings, the preset compression force of the elastic element can stably provide a force to the connecting shaft toward the water-absorbing brush.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, a mounting hole is provided at one end of the connecting part near the water-absorbing brush, and the first connecting part also includes a bearing, which is fixedly installed in the mounting hole, and the connecting part is connected to the water-absorbing brush through the bearing.

[0016] By using bearings, friction can be reduced when the absorbent brush 240 rotates relative to the first connecting member.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, the water-absorbing brush includes a brush shaft, a water-absorbing brush, and a first baffle plate. The water-absorbing brush is sleeved on the brush shaft and can rotate with the brush shaft. The brush shaft near the first connector has a protruding mating shaft for connecting with the first connector. The first baffle plate is fixedly sleeved on the mating shaft.

[0018] A second baffle is also fixed at one end of the absorbent brush near the second connector.

[0019] By setting the first and second baffles, the water-absorbing brush can be limited at both ends of the brush shaft, and both ends of the brush shaft can prevent sewage from splashing.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the second connector includes a second connecting shaft and a drive sprocket fixedly mounted on the second connecting shaft. The second connecting shaft passes through a support base away from the first connector and is fixedly connected to the water-absorbing brush. The drive sprocket is used to connect to the drive mechanism.

[0021] With the above configuration, the drive mechanism is connected to the water-absorbing drive sprocket via a chain, which in turn drives the drive sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the second connecting shaft and the water-absorbing brush to rotate.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the fruit and vegetable transport cleaning machine further includes a dewatering assembly and a dewatering drive connected to each other. The dewatering assembly is disposed on the frame and located below the water-absorbing brush assembly. The dewatering assembly can move up and down under the drive of the dewatering drive to squeeze the water-absorbing brush.

[0023] With the above configuration, the dewatering component 300 can move up and down under the drive of the dewatering drive to squeeze the water-absorbing brush, squeeze out the water inside the water-absorbing brush, and thus facilitate the water-absorbing brush to continue to absorb and remove water from the fruits and vegetables.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, the dewatering drive includes a rotating handle, a rotating shaft, and a connecting cam. The connecting cam is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and is also connected to the dewatering assembly. The rotating handle is mounted on the rotating shaft, which is connected to the frame and rotates relative to the frame along its own axis.

[0025] With the above settings, different squeezing forces can be applied to the sponge by rotating the handle at different angles to maintain the sponge's humidity. This ensures that the sponge is not damaged by squeezing and that the sponge sheet always maintains a suitable humidity.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, the fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine further includes a support member and a limiting member. The support member is installed on the frame, and the limiting member is fixedly installed on the support member. The limiting member is connected to the dewatering assembly to restrict the movement of the dewatering assembly in a preset direction, which is perpendicular to the height direction.

[0027] The above settings, including the use of limiters, prevent excessive swaying of the wringer assembly when it is raised.

[0028] In an optional embodiment, the fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine also includes an external rotor axial flow fan, which is installed on the frame and located above the water-absorbing brush assembly. The external rotor axial flow fan and the water-absorbing brush assembly together form a transport space for transporting fruits and vegetables.

[0029] With the above setup, multiple sets of external rotor axial flow fans provide a powerful airflow, which can pre-dry and blow-dry the moisture on the surface of the fruit. Furthermore, compared to other types of fans, external rotor axial flow fans are more cost-effective, energy-efficient, and produce less power and noise.

[0030] This utility model provides a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine, including a frame and a water-absorbing brush assembly. The water-absorbing brush assembly includes two support seats, a first connector, a second connector, and a water-absorbing brush. The two support seats are spaced apart from the frame along a first direction. The first connector is connected to one of the support seats and movably connected to one end of the water-absorbing brush, allowing the water-absorbing brush to rotate relative to the first connector along its own axis. The second connector is connected to the other support seat and fixedly connected to the other end of the water-absorbing brush. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the water-absorbing brush, the first connector can be moved away from the water-absorbing brush in the first direction until the first connector separates from the water-absorbing brush. Then, the water-absorbing brush can be moved away from the second connector in the first direction to disengage it from the second connector, thus facilitating user replacement of the water-absorbing brush and improving the efficiency of brush replacement.

[0041] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0043] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the specific structure of a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine provided by this utility model and its corresponding technical effects.

[0044] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine 1, which includes a frame 100 and a water-absorbing brush assembly 200.

[0045] The absorbent brush assembly 200 includes two support bases 210, a first connector 220, a second connector 230, and an absorbent brush 240. The two support bases 210 are spaced apart from the frame 100 along a first direction. The first connector 220 is connected to one of the support bases 210 and is movably connected to one end of the absorbent brush 240. The absorbent brush 240 can rotate relative to the first connector 220 along its own axis. The second connector 230 is connected to the other support base 210 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the absorbent brush 240. That is, when the absorbent brush 240 rotates, it can drive the second connector 230 to rotate together. In other words, when the second connector 230 is driven to rotate by the drive mechanism, it can drive the absorbent brush 240 to rotate.

[0046] Understandably, when the second connector 230 rotates under the drive of the drive mechanism, it can drive the water-absorbing brush 240 to rotate. The frame 100 is provided with multiple water-absorbing brush assemblies 200, which are arranged along the length of the frame 100. Therefore, when the water-absorbing brush 240 in the multiple water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 rotates at the same time, it can drive the fruits and vegetables placed above the water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 to move. Thus, during the rotation of the water-absorbing brush 240, it can not only absorb the water on the fruits and vegetables, but also transport them.

[0047] The first connector 220 can move relative to the support 210 and the absorbent brush 240 in a first direction. The absorbent brush 240 can also move in the first direction away from the second connector 230 to disengage from the second connector 230. The first direction is parallel to the axial direction of the absorbent brush 240 and parallel to the length direction of the frame 100.

[0048] In some existing fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machines 1, the support base 210 in the water-absorbing brush assembly 200 is fixed to the first connector 220. That is, the first connector 220 cannot move relative to the support base 210 to which it is connected. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace the water-absorbing brush 240, the support base 210 must be disassembled in advance, the first connector 220 must be removed, and then the water-absorbing brush 240 must be disassembled. The disassembly efficiency is low.

[0049] Understandably, since the first connector 220 can move in the first direction, when it is necessary to disassemble and replace the absorbent brush 240, the first connector 220 can be moved away from the absorbent brush 240 in the first direction until the first connector 220 is separated from the absorbent brush 240. Then, the absorbent brush 240 can be moved away from the second connector 230 in the first direction so that the absorbent brush 240 is dislodged from the second connector 230. This makes it easier for the user to replace the absorbent brush 240 and improves the efficiency of replacing the absorbent brush 240.

[0050] In this embodiment, the absorbent brush assembly 200 further includes an elastic element 250, which is connected to the first connector 220. The first connector 220 is connected to the absorbent brush 240 under the action of the elastic force of the elastic element 250. Under normal operation, the first connector 220 can ensure the stability of the connection with the absorbent brush 240 under the action of the elastic force, and avoid easily detaching from the absorbent brush 240 under the action of external force.

[0051] In detail, the first connecting member 220 includes a first connecting shaft 221 and a first water-blocking member 2222. The first connecting shaft 221 passes through one of the support seats 210 and has a connecting part 2211 at one end near the water-absorbing brush 240. The radial dimension of the connecting part 2211 is larger than the radial dimension of the connecting shaft and is used to connect with the water-absorbing brush 240. The first water-blocking member 2222 is sleeved on the connecting shaft and abuts against the support seat 210. The elastic member 250 is sleeved on the connecting shaft and its two ends abut against the connecting part 2211 and the first water-blocking member 2222, respectively. The elastic member 250 is in a compressed state. It can be understood that through the preset compression force of the elastic member 250, a stable force can be given to the connecting shaft toward the water-absorbing brush 240.

[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a first water-blocking component 2222 is provided. The first water-blocking component 2222 is sleeved on the connecting shaft and abuts against the support seat 210 connected to the connecting shaft. The first water-blocking component 2222 can also prevent the water-absorbing brush 240 from splashing when it rotates.

[0053] The connecting part 2211 has a mounting hole at one end near the absorbent brush 240. The first connecting member 220 also includes a bearing 260, which is fixedly installed in the mounting hole. The connecting part 2211 is connected to the absorbent brush 240 through the bearing 260. The bearing 260 can reduce the friction when the absorbent brush 240 rotates relative to the first connecting member 220.

[0054] Optionally, the bearing 260 mentioned above can be a deep groove ball bearing 260. When the bearing 260 is installed in the mounting hole, the bearing 260 can be fixedly installed in the mounting hole by fasteners 270, which can be fastening pins or threaded fasteners 270.

[0055] In this embodiment, the first connector 220 also includes a support head 223, which is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft away from the connecting part 2211. It is understood that the support head 223 is easy for the user to hold. After the user can manually hold the support head 223, the first connector 220 will move away from the water-absorbing brush 240, so that the connecting part 2211 will be disengaged from the water-absorbing brush 240.

[0056] Optionally, in this embodiment, the water-absorbing brush 240 includes a brush shaft 241, a water-absorbing brush 242, and a first baffle plate 243. The water-absorbing brush 242 is sleeved on the brush shaft 241 and can rotate with the brush shaft 241. One end of the brush shaft 241 near the first connector 220 has a protruding mating shaft for connecting with the first connector 220. The first baffle plate 243 is fixedly sleeved on the mating shaft.

[0057] Understandably, the brush shaft 241 is inserted into the bearing 260 of the first connector 220 through a mating shaft to achieve a movable connection with the first connector 220. Through the function of the first baffle plate 243, not only can the water-absorbing brush 242 prevent the water-absorbing brush 242 from splashing when brushing fruits and vegetables, but it can also limit the water-absorbing brush 242, preventing the water-absorbing brush 242 from easily coming off the brush shaft 241 in the axial direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the absorbent brush 240 also includes a first limiting sleeve 280, which is fixedly sleeved on the mating shaft. The first limiting sleeve 280 is located on the side of the first baffle plate 243 near the first connector 220. The first limiting sleeve 280 can be fixedly installed on the mating shaft by threaded connection. For example, the mating shaft has an external thread, and the first limiting sleeve 280 has a threaded hole. That is to say, the first baffle plate 243 can be fixedly installed on the mating shaft by the first limiting sleeve 280. Of course, in some other embodiments, the first baffle plate 243 can also be installed on the mating shaft in other ways.

[0059] The end of the absorbent brush 240 near the second connector 230 is also fixed with a second baffle plate 244. It can be understood that by setting the first baffle plate 243 and the second baffle plate 244, the absorbent brush 242 can be limited at both ends of the brush shaft 241 in the axial direction, and both ends of the brush shaft 241 can prevent sewage from splashing.

[0060] The second connecting member 230 includes a second connecting shaft 231 and a water-absorbing drive sprocket 233 fixedly installed on the second connecting shaft 231. The second connecting shaft 231 passes through a support base 210 away from the first connecting member 220 and is fixedly connected to the water-absorbing brush 240. The water-absorbing drive sprocket 233 is used to connect with the drive mechanism. That is, the drive mechanism is connected to the water-absorbing drive sprocket 233 through a chain, which can drive the drive sprocket to rotate, thereby driving the second connecting shaft 231 and the water-absorbing brush 240 to rotate.

[0061] In detail, the second connecting shaft 231 has a protruding connecting block 2311 at one end near the water-absorbing brush 240, and the second connecting member 230 also includes a second limiting sleeve 290. The second limiting sleeve 290 is sleeved on the second baffle 244 and the protruding connecting block 2311. The protruding connecting block 2311 is inserted into the water-absorbing brush 240, that is, the protruding connecting block 2311 is inserted into the brush shaft 241 to be fixedly connected with the water-absorbing brush 240.

[0062] Optionally, the second connector 230 further includes a second water-blocking member 232, which is sleeved on the second connecting shaft 231 and located on the side of the second limiting sleeve 290 away from the second water-blocking plate 244.

[0063] In detail, the fruit and vegetable transport cleaning machine 1 also includes a dewatering component 300 and a dewatering drive component 400 connected to each other. The dewatering component 300 is disposed on the frame 100 and located below the water-absorbing brush component 200. The dewatering component 300 can move up and down under the drive of the dewatering drive component 400 to squeeze the water-absorbing brush 240.

[0064] Optionally, the water-absorbing brush 242 described above can be a sponge brush. Therefore, when the squeezing component moves upward to squeeze the sponge brush, the water inside the sponge brush can be squeezed out, which makes it easier for the sponge brush to continue to absorb and remove water from the fruits and vegetables.

[0065] In this embodiment, the water-absorbing drive includes a rotating handle 410, a rotating shaft 420, and a connecting cam. The connecting cam is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 420 and is also connected to the squeezing assembly 300. The rotating handle 410 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 420, which is connected to the frame 100 and rotates relative to the frame 100 along its own axis. It can be understood that the user can rotate the rotating handle 410 to rotate the rotating shaft 420, which in turn rotates the cam. Under the rotation of the cam, the squeezing assembly 300 can be moved in the height direction, thereby realizing the squeezing of the water-absorbing assembly.

[0066] Understandably, since the water absorption drive is manual in this embodiment, different squeezing forces can be applied to the sponge by rotating the handle 410 at different angles to keep the sponge's humidity stable. This ensures that the sponge is not damaged by squeezing and that the sponge sheet always maintains a suitable humidity.

[0067] Optionally, the fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine also includes a support and a limiting component. The support is installed on the frame 100, and the limiting component is fixedly installed on the support. The limiting component is connected to the dewatering assembly 300 to limit the movement of the dewatering assembly 300 in a preset direction. The preset direction is perpendicular to the height direction. It can be understood that by setting the limiting component, the excessive swaying of the dewatering assembly 300 when it is raised can be avoided.

[0068] It should be noted that the aforementioned support member is used to support the dewatering assembly 300. That is to say, when the dewatering drive member 400 is not required to lift the dewatering assembly 300, the dewatering assembly 300 is placed on the support member. It should also be noted that the dewatering assembly 300 in this embodiment includes a dewatering frame 310 and a dewatering roller 320. Both ends of the dewatering roller 320 are mounted on the dewatering frame 310. A buffer strip is provided on the support roller. It can be understood that when the dewatering assembly 300 is placed on the support roller, the support roller contacts the dewatering assembly 300 through the buffer strip, preventing damage to the support roller caused by the dewatering assembly 300.

[0069] It is understandable that, since this embodiment has multiple water-absorbing brush assemblies 200, there can also be multiple water-squeezing assemblies 300 and water-squeezing drive components 400. The number of water-squeezing drive components 400 and water-squeezing assemblies 300 are the same and they are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. The number of water-squeezing assemblies 300 and the number of water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 can be different. That is to say, one water-squeezing assembly 300 can correspond to multiple water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 at the same time.

[0070] The fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine 1 also includes an external rotor axial flow fan 500, which is installed on the frame 100 and located above the water-absorbing brush assembly 200. The external rotor axial flow fan 500 and the water-absorbing brush assembly 200 together form a transport space for transporting fruits and vegetables.

[0071] Optionally, there are multiple external rotor axial flow fans 500 arranged in pairs, and the multiple external rotor axial flow fans 500 are arranged in multiple groups. The multiple groups of external rotor axial flow fans 500 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the frame 100, and the external rotor axial flow fans 500 in each group are arranged at intervals along the first direction, that is, the two external rotor axial flow fans 500 in each group are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the frame 100.

[0072] Understandably, multiple sets of external rotor axial flow fans 500 provide a powerful airflow for pre-drying and drying the surface moisture of fruit. Compared to other types of fans, the external rotor axial flow fan 500 has the following advantages: cost savings, energy savings, lower power and noise, and simpler installation structure.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, the frame 100 has an inlet 101 and an outlet 102, and a plurality of water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 are located between the inlet 101 and the outlet 102. A pre-drying brush assembly 600 is installed on the side of the plurality of water-absorbing brush assemblies 200 near the inlet 101. The pre-drying brush assembly 600 is used to initially clean the residue on the surface of the fruit and remove some moisture. It uses soft brushes to avoid damaging the surface of the fruit and is installed in the area before the fruit enters the quick-release sponge brush assembly.

[0074] Optionally, the frame 100 is also equipped with a fruit-sweeping assembly 700. The fruit-sweeping assembly 700 includes a fruit-sweeping active sprocket, a fruit-sweeping passive sprocket, a fruit-sweeping chain, a fruit-sweeping active shaft, a fruit-sweeping roller, and a fruit-sweeping motor. There are two fruit-sweeping active sprockets, which are installed on the frame 100 and spaced apart along the width direction of the frame 100. There are also two fruit-sweeping passive sprockets, which are installed on the frame 100 and spaced apart along the width direction of the frame 100. The fruit-sweeping passive sprockets are connected to the fruit-sweeping active sprockets through the two fruit-sweeping sprockets. The fruit-sweeping active sprockets and the fruit-sweeping passive sprockets are spaced apart along the length direction of the frame 100. The two ends of the fruit-sweeping active shaft are connected to the two fruit-sweeping active sprockets respectively. The fruit-sweeping motor is connected to one of the fruit-sweeping active sprockets. The two ends of the fruit-sweeping roller are connected to the fruit-sweeping chain. Driven by the fruit-sweeping motor, the fruit-sweeping roller can move along the length direction of the frame 100 to remove the fruits and vegetables from the outlet 102 of the frame 100.

[0075] In summary, this utility model embodiment provides a fruit and vegetable transport and cleaning machine 1, including a frame 100 and a water-absorbing brush assembly 200. The water-absorbing brush assembly 200 includes two support seats 210, a first connector 220, a second connector 230, and a water-absorbing brush 240. The two support seats 210 are spaced apart from the frame 100 along a first direction. The first connector 220 is connected to one of the support seats 210 and movably connected to one end of the water-absorbing brush 240, allowing the water-absorbing brush 240 to rotate relative to the first connector 220 along its own axis. The second connector 230 is connected to the other support seat 210 and movably connected to one end of the water-absorbing brush 240. The other end is fixedly connected. When it is necessary to disassemble and replace the water-absorbing brush 240, the first connector 220 can be moved away from the water-absorbing brush 240 in the first direction until the first connector 220 is separated from the water-absorbing brush 240. Then, the water-absorbing brush 240 can be moved away from the second connector 230 in the first direction so that the water-absorbing brush 240 is dislodged from the second connector 230. This makes it easier for the user to replace the water-absorbing brush 240 and improves the efficiency of replacing the water-absorbing brush 240.
