Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vegetable washing and drying technology, and specifically relates to a vegetable washing and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Existing vegetable washing and drying equipment typically includes a hot air blowing mechanism inside a housing, which also houses a conveyor system for transporting vegetables. During operation, workers first place the washed vegetables on the conveyor system, then activate the hot air blowing mechanism to dry the vegetables during transport. As the vegetables dry, juice seeps out, staining the conveyor system. To prevent this juice from contaminating the next batch of vegetables, workers manually clean the conveyor belt. This method, requiring workers to repeatedly clean the juice from the conveyor system with hand tools, is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and reduces the equipment's processing efficiency, failing to meet user needs. Therefore, a new vegetable washing and drying equipment is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a vegetable washing and drying device. It not only meets the basic requirements for drying vegetables, but also cleans the juice on the conveyor belt through a cleaning mechanism, eliminating the need for workers to manually clean the juice on the conveyor belt, saving time and effort, and improving the overall processing efficiency of the device to meet people's needs.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying device for washing vegetables, including a drying box, a conveying mechanism at the bottom of the drying box, L-shaped plates on the left and right sides of the bottom of the drying box, a moving mechanism on the left and right sides of the two L-shaped plates, a cleaning device on the moving mechanism, and a notch in the middle of the two L-shaped plates. The moving mechanism includes a first rotating shaft on the top of the left and right sides of the drying box corresponding to the notch, a pulley on the outer end of the first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft on the bottom of the left and right sides of the drying box, a second pulley on the outer end of the second rotating shaft, and a belt connecting the first and second pulleys. Slides are provided on the left and right sides of the drying box, sliders are provided inside the slides, and moving blocks connected to the transmission belt are provided on the outer ends of the sliders. L-shaped mounting plates are provided on the left and right sides of the drying box, and second rotary motors connected to the first pulleys are provided on the outer ends of the mounting plates. The pulleys of the second rotary motors are connected by couplings.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the conveying mechanism includes rollers arranged on the front and rear sides of the drying box, and a conveyor belt is arranged on both rollers. A first rotary motor connected to the front roller is arranged at the right end of the front side of the drying box. The first rotary motor is connected to the roller through a coupling. The cleaning device includes a rotating rod arranged between two moving blocks. A cleaning wheel is arranged on the rotating rod. A third rotary motor is arranged at the right end of the right moving block. The third rotary motor is connected to the rotating rod through a coupling. A water spraying mechanism is arranged on the inner end of the two sliders.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the water spraying mechanism includes an L-shaped connecting plate disposed on the inner ends of two sliders, a water spraying pipe disposed between the two L-shaped connecting plates, a plurality of nozzles corresponding to the cleaning wheels disposed on the water spraying pipe, a connecting pipe connected to an external water supply device disposed on the rear side of the water spraying pipe, two dryers disposed on the top of the drying box, two air inlet slots disposed on the two dryers, and air inlet holes disposed inside the two air inlet slots respectively, a switch disposed on the right side of the drying box, the switch being electrically connected to the first rotary motor, the second rotary motor, and the third rotary motor, a plurality of heat insulation curtains disposed on the front and rear sides of the drying box respectively, a plurality of support legs disposed on the bottom of the two L-shaped plates respectively, and anti-slip pads disposed on the bottom of the plurality of support legs respectively.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0008] Firstly, this design includes a second rotary motor. The rotation of the second rotary motor drives pulley one to rotate, which in turn drives the belt to move. The movement of the belt drives pulley two to rotate, while the cleaning wheel moves upward and contacts the bottom of the conveyor belt. At this point, the third rotary motor is activated, and its rotation drives the cleaning wheel to rotate, thereby cleaning impurities from the surface of the conveyor belt. During the cleaning process, the connecting pipe connected to the external water supply equipment supplies water to the spray pipe. Water is then sprayed from inside the nozzle onto the cleaning wheel, making it easier to clean the stains on the conveyor belt.
[0009] Secondly, this design includes two dryers, which provide heat to the inside of the drying chamber to dry the vegetables on the conveyor belt.
[0010] Thirdly, this design includes a first rotary motor, whose rotation drives the roller shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to move, thereby conveying the material placed on the conveyor belt.
[0011] Fourth, this design includes a switch, which facilitates the control of the power supply to the first, second, and third rotary motors. Attached Figure Description

[0021] How to use this utility model:
[0022] When using the device, the operator first places the vegetables to be dried on top of the conveyor belt 104. Then, the operator starts the first rotary motor 105. The rotation of the first rotary motor 105 drives the roller 103 to rotate, and the rotation of the roller 103 drives the conveyor belt 104 to move, thereby conveying the materials placed on the conveyor belt 104. At the same time as the materials are conveyed, the dryer 120 works to dry the materials on the conveyor belt 104.
[0023] After a period of conveying, a lot of stains will remain on the conveyor belt 104. When drying other types of vegetables, this will contaminate them. At this time, the second rotary motor 113 is started. The rotation of the second rotary motor 113 drives the pulley 106 to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 106 drives the belt 108 to move. The movement of the belt 108 drives the pulley 107 to rotate. At the same time, the cleaning wheel 115 moves upward and contacts the bottom of the conveyor belt 104. Then, the third rotary motor 116 is started. The rotation of the third rotary motor 116 drives the cleaning wheel 115 to rotate, thereby cleaning the surface impurities of the conveyor belt 104. During the cleaning process, the connecting pipe 119 connected to the external water supply equipment supplies water to the spray pipe 117. At this time, water is sprayed out from the inside of the nozzle 118 and sprayed onto the cleaning wheel 115, making it easier to clean the stains on the conveyor belt 104.
[0024] After cleaning the conveyor belt 104, the second rotary motor 113 rotates to drive the cleaning wheel 115 to move downward, thereby causing the cleaning wheel 115 to disengage from the conveyor belt 104 and reducing wear on the cleaning wheel 115.
[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
