[0022] This utility model discloses a high-efficiency nut cleaning machine, which mainly includes a frame 1, a cleaning tank 2, a brushing mechanism 3, a water tank 4, a rinsing mechanism 5, a conveying mechanism 6, a dryer 7, and a controller 8. The cleaning tank 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1, and the interior of the cleaning tank 2 has a hollow structure. A baffle 21 is provided at the top of the cleaning tank 2. The brushing mechanism 3 is installed on the baffle 21 and located inside the cleaning tank 2. The brushing mechanism 3 includes a cleaning roller brush 31, a mesh roller brush 32, and a drive motor 33. A water flow plate 34, a protective cover 35, a cleaning roller brush 31, and a mesh roller brush 32 are rotatably and intermittently installed inside the cleaning tank 2. A drive motor 33 is mounted on a baffle 21 and is connected to the cleaning roller brush 31. Adjacent cleaning roller brushes 31 and mesh roller brushes 32 are connected by a sprocket and a chain. A water flow hole 211 is provided on the side wall of the baffle 21, and the water flow plate 34 is installed at the water flow hole 211.

Inside, water tank 4 is installed on one side of cleaning tank 2, below water flow plate 34. Water flow plate 34 connects cleaning tank 2 and water tank 4. A rinsing mechanism 5 is installed on frame 1. The rinsing mechanism 5 includes a water pump 51, inlet pipe 52, outlet pipe 53, diversion pipe 54, and spray pipe 55. Water pump 51 is installed on frame 1. One end of inlet pipe 52 is connected to water tank 4, and the other end is connected to the inlet of water pump 51. One end of outlet pipe 53 extends into the interior of cleaning tank 2, and the other end is connected to the outlet of water pump 51. Diversion pipe 54 is installed... Inside the cleaning tank 2, the spray pipe 55 is installed on the diversion pipe 54. The water pump 51, inlet pipe 52, outlet pipe 53, diversion pipe 54, and spray pipe 55 connect the cleaning tank 2 and the water tank 4. The conveying mechanism 6 is installed at an angle on the cleaning tank 2. A bracket 61 is set at the top of the conveying mechanism 6. The dryer 7 is installed on the bracket 61. The conveying mechanism 6 is located below the dryer 7. The controller 8 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 2. The drive motor 33, water pump 51, conveying mechanism 6, dryer 7 and controller 8 are electrically connected.

[0023] The nuts to be cleaned are placed in the cleaning tank 2. The controller 8 starts the drive motor 33, water pump 51, motor 67, and dryer 7. The drive motor 33 drives the cleaning roller brush 31 to rotate, and simultaneously, through the transmission of sprockets and chains, the mesh roller brush 32 also rotates. The cleaning roller brush 31 and mesh roller brush 32 scrub the nuts, removing dirt and impurities from their surface. During the scrubbing process, water enters the water pump 51 from the water tank 4 through the inlet pipe 52, then through the outlet pipe 53 into the diversion pipe 54, and finally sprays out from the spray pipe 55 to rinse the nuts, further removing dirt and impurities. The rinsed water flows through the water flow plate 34. The water flows back to the water tank 4 to achieve water recycling. After washing, the nuts are conveyed to the bottom of the dryer 7 through the conveyor mechanism 6. The motor 67 drives the active roller 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven roller 64 to rotate, so that the mesh conveyor belt 65 can convey the nuts. The lifting plate 66 picks up the floating nuts. While the nuts are draining water on the mesh conveyor belt 65, the dryer 7 dries the nuts to remove moisture. The dried nuts are discharged from the outlet of the mesh conveyor belt 65, completing the washing and drying process.

[0024] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, the conveying mechanism 6 includes a side plate 62, a drive roller 63, a driven roller 64, a mesh conveyor belt 65, a lifting plate 66, and a motor 67. The side plate 62 is inclinedly mounted on the washing tank 2. The drive roller 63 and the driven roller 64 are rotatably mounted on the side plate 62. The mesh conveyor belt 65 is wound around the drive roller 63 and the driven roller 64. The lifting plate 66 is mounted on the mesh conveyor belt 65. The motor 67 is mounted at the end of the side plate 62. The motor 67 is connected to the drive roller 63 for transmission and is also connected to the controller 8 by wires. The motor 67 drives the drive roller 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven roller 64 to rotate, thereby realizing the conveying of nuts by the mesh conveyor belt 65. The lifting plate 66 picks up the floating nuts. While the nuts are draining water on the mesh conveyor belt 65, the dryer 7 dries the nuts.

[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a protective shell 9 is installed on the bracket 61, and the dryer 7 is located inside the protective shell 9. The protective shell 9 has ventilation holes 91. The main function of the protective shell 9 is to protect the dryer 7 from the influence of the external environment and to prevent personnel from coming into contact with the dryer 7 and causing injury. The ventilation holes 91 are set to ensure air circulation inside the dryer 7 so as to better carry out the drying work.

[0026] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a drain hopper 22 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, and a switch valve 221 is installed on the side wall of the drain hopper 22. The drain hopper 22 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2 and is used to collect dirt and impurities generated during the cleaning process. The switch valve 221 facilitates the discharge of dirt, impurities and wastewater when needed.

[0027] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, a drain pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 4, and a manual butterfly valve 11 is installed on the drain pipe 10. The drain pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 4 to drain the water in the water tank 4. The manual butterfly valve 11 can control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 10, so as to facilitate drainage operations when needed, such as cleaning the water tank 4 or changing the water.

[0028] Work process:

[0029] Before washing the nuts, water is filled into the washing tank and water tank. The nuts to be washed are then placed into the washing tank 2. The controller 8 starts the drive motor 33, water pump 51, motor 67, and dryer 7. The drive motor 33 drives the washing roller brush 31 to rotate, and simultaneously, through the transmission of sprockets and chains, the mesh roller brush 32 also rotates. The washing roller brush 31 and mesh roller brush 32 scrub the nuts, removing dirt and impurities from their surface. During the scrubbing process, water enters the water pump 51 from the water tank 4 through the inlet pipe 52, then through the outlet pipe 53 into the diversion pipe 54, and finally sprays out from the spray pipe 55 to rinse the nuts, further removing dirt and impurities. The rinsed water flows through the water flow plate 34. The water flows back to the water tank 4, realizing water recycling. After washing, the nuts are conveyed to the bottom of the dryer 7 via the conveyor mechanism 6. The motor 67 drives the active roller 63 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven roller 64 to rotate, realizing the conveying of nuts by the mesh conveyor belt 65. The lifting plate 66 picks up the floating nuts. While the nuts are draining water on the mesh conveyor belt 65, the dryer 7 dries the nuts to remove moisture. The dried nuts are discharged from the outlet of the mesh conveyor belt 65, completing the washing and drying process. The whole process is highly automated, with good washing and drying effects, which can improve the washing efficiency and quality of nuts. The device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It realizes the functions of washing, rinsing and drying nuts. It has a high degree of automation, greatly improves the washing efficiency of nuts, has good washing effect, saves manpower and material resources, is highly practical, and is suitable for widespread use.
