Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to an ultrasonic cleaning and impurity removal device for Sargassum fusiforme. Background Technology

[0002] Sargassum fusiforme belongs to the phylum Phaeophyta, class Cynozoa, order Fucusales, family Sargassum, and genus Sargassum. The thallus is yellowish-brown, thick, and juicy, reaching 15–40 cm in height, sometimes exceeding 2 meters. The thallus exhibits great variation in shape. It grows on rocks in the low-tide zone and is widely distributed along the coast of my country, from the Liaodong Peninsula in the north to the Leizhou Peninsula in the south, with the highest concentration along the Zhejiang coast. Sargassum fusiforme is widely recognized as one of the most valuable edible marine algae, making it an ideal natural food for infants and the elderly.

[0003] When processing sea lettuce, the first important step is to soak the selected sea lettuce to clean it and remove impurities. In the past, the soaking equipment used was a fixed soaking pool. After the workers put the vegetables in, they needed to use tools to stir them, which was time-consuming and laborious and had poor cleaning effect on the sea lettuce. Moreover, when a large amount of sea lettuce was put in at once, it was easy for the sea lettuce to become tangled and difficult to disperse due to its own buoyancy and intertwining. The impurities inside were not easy to remove. In addition, after soaking, the sea lettuce tended to scatter irregularly in the soaking pool, making it difficult to remove the soaked sea lettuce. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a seaweed washing device. By improving the structure of the material mesh frame and the washing tank, the device can perform soaking, washing and other processing on seaweed. In addition, the material mesh frame of this embodiment can allow a large amount of seaweed to be layered in one mesh frame, making it loose and easy to wash.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an ultrasonic cleaning and impurity removal device for Sargassum fusiforme, including a cleaning tank, the cleaning tank including an ultrasonic generator and a cleaning chamber, and a lifting assembly provided in the cleaning chamber, the lifting assembly including a support base, a power lifting cylinder fixed on the cleaning tank, and a connecting arm connecting the power lifting cylinder to the support base.

[0006] The material mesh frame includes a bottom frame, a layer of mesh hinged to the bottom frame, and a frame cover. The layer of mesh is flipped relative to the inside of the bottom frame to form several middle layer baffles.

[0007] As a further provision of the above scheme, the cleaning tank is provided in several parts, and rollers are provided between the several cleaning tanks. The support base is provided with a pulley group that matches the bottom wire rail of the material mesh frame. The support base is provided with a roller group on the side that is relatively close to the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The inner wall of the cleaning tank is provided with a guide rail that matches the roller group. The guide rail is used to guide the support base to move vertically up and down along the extension direction of the guide rail.

[0008] As a further feature of the above scheme, the material mesh frame is arranged in an L-shape. When it is flipped, one side is attached to the inner wall of the bottom frame to form a swing limit, and the other side, which is at a right angle, is horizontal in the inner cavity of the bottom frame to form a middle layer of baffles. The cavity between several middle layer baffles is used for placing Sargassum fusiforme.

[0009] As a further feature of the above solution, the frame cover is hinged to the bottom frame, and its other end, which swings relative to the bottom frame, has a slot that engages with the upper edge of the bottom frame to limit and close the upper opening of the material mesh frame. The material mesh frame is also provided with a handle.

[0010] As a further feature of the above solution, the cleaning tank is provided with a water outlet, which is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the cleaning tank. The control button group for the ultrasonic generator and the power lifting cylinder of the cleaning tank is located on the front side wall of the cleaning tank.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] like Figure 1-5 The ultrasonic cleaning and impurity removal device for Sargassum fusiforme shown includes a cleaning tank 1, which includes an ultrasonic generator and a cleaning chamber 11. The cleaning chamber 11 is also provided with a lifting assembly 12, which includes a support base 13, a power lifting cylinder 14 fixed on the cleaning tank 1, and a connecting arm 15 connecting the power lifting cylinder 14 to the support base 13.

[0020] Material mesh frame 2 includes a bottom frame 21, a layer mesh 22 hinged to the bottom frame 21, and a frame cover 23. The layer mesh 22 is flipped relative to the inside of the bottom frame 21 to form a plurality of middle layer baffles.

[0021] As a further provision of the above scheme, the cleaning tank 1 is provided in several parts, and rollers 10 are provided between the several cleaning tanks 1. The support base 13 is provided with a pulley group 16 that matches the bottom wire rail 24 of the material mesh frame 2. The support base 13 is provided with a roller group 18 on the side that is relatively close to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a guide rail 19 that matches the roller group 18. The guide rail 19 is used to guide the support base 13 to move vertically up and down along the extension direction of the guide rail 19.

[0022] As a further feature of the above scheme, the layer mesh 22 of the material mesh frame 2 is L-shaped. When it is flipped, one side is attached to the inner wall of the bottom frame 21 to form a swing limit, and the other side, which is at a right angle, is horizontal in the inner cavity of the bottom frame 21 to form a middle layer of baffle mesh. The cavity between several middle layer baffle meshes is used for placing Sargassum fusiforme.

[0023] As a further feature of the above solution, the frame cover 23 is hinged to the bottom frame 21, and its other end, which swings relative to the frame, has a slot 28 that engages with the upper edge of the bottom frame 21 to limit and close the upper opening of the material mesh frame 2. The material mesh frame 2 is also provided with a handle 27.

[0024] As a further feature of the above scheme, the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water outlet, which is located at the lowest point of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The control button group for the ultrasonic generator and the power lifting cylinder 14 of the cleaning tank 1 is located on the front side wall of the cleaning tank 1.

[0025] The Sargassum fusiforme cleaning and impurity removal equipment of this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 1. The cleaning tank 1 is equipped with an ultrasonic generator for ultrasonically vibrating the water to clean the Sargassum fusiforme. In addition, the cleaning tank 1 of this embodiment is also used for soaking the Sargassum fusiforme before cleaning. By setting a material mesh frame 2, it is made to sink below the water surface and fully soak. The layered mesh 22 set in the material mesh frame 2 forms a middle layer baffle structure, so that the Sargassum fusiforme is layered in the water, and the layers are relatively loose, reducing the density and improving the cleaning effect.

[0026] As described above, the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 11 of the cleaning tank 1 in this embodiment is also provided with a guide rail 19. The lifting assembly 12 includes a support base 13 for lifting the material mesh frame 2 and a connecting arm 15 connected to the power lifting cylinder 14 in a U-shape. In this embodiment, the connecting arm 15 is fixedly connected to the main shaft of the power lifting cylinder 14. Driven by the axially extending and retracting main shaft, the support base 13 and the material mesh frame 2 are lifted and lowered relative to the cleaning chamber 11. The support base 13 is provided with a roller assembly 18 that matches the guide rail 19. During the lifting process, it provides support and guidance for the lifting assembly 12 and reduces the collision and wear between the lifting assembly 12 and the cleaning tank 1 based on the rolling friction of the roller assembly 18.

[0027] Furthermore, the material mesh frame 2 in this embodiment includes a bottom frame 21 and a multi-layered mesh 22. The mesh 22 is L-shaped. When flipped inside the bottom frame 21, one side wall of the mesh 22 abuts against the side wall of the bottom frame 21, while the other side flips downward to form a partition. It is worth noting that the material mesh frame 2 in this embodiment is made of metal. After the seaweed is soaked in water, it floats and adheres to the lower side of the mesh 22 based on its own buoyancy. The buoyancy is set to be less than the weight of the mesh 22, thus ensuring the mesh 22 remains intact. A layered mesh structure is formed. In addition, the width of the layer mesh 22 is slightly smaller than the width of the bottom frame 21 to avoid restricting the flipping. Furthermore, the hinged swing of the layer mesh 22 alternates with the two sides of the bottom frame 21. After swinging downward, it forms an interlaced middle layer mesh structure within the bottom frame 21. One side of the frame cover 23 is hinged to the bottom frame 21, and the other end is provided with a slot 28. After flipping, the slot 28 is engaged with the other edge of the bottom frame 21 and has a certain locking force to prevent the seaweed from opening the frame cover 23 based on buoyancy during soaking.

[0028] When using this equipment, workers can pre-place Sargassum fusiforme in the material mesh frame 2, and then use the layered mesh 22 to separate the Sargassum fusiforme layer by layer until it is full. Then, the material mesh frame 2 is moved horizontally onto the support base 13 in the cleaning tank 1. During the movement, care should be taken to ensure that the bottom of the material mesh frame 2 is aligned with the pulley group 16 so that the material mesh frame 2 is locked in the pulley group 16. The pulley group 16 can then be used to easily move it horizontally. Then, the power lifting cylinder 14 is activated to lower it into the cleaning tank 1. As needed, the ultrasonic component or other cleaning units, such as a bubble generator, in the cleaning tank 1 can be activated. The purpose of the ultrasonic component is twofold: first, to shake off impurities on the surface of Sargassum fusiforme through ultrasound; second, referring to the process provided by the prior art such as CN201210567705.2, a process for removing arsenic from Sargassum fusiforme, the effect can be enhanced by setting the processing parameters. This embodiment mainly achieves the purpose of cleaning and removing impurities.

[0029] Furthermore, after cleaning is completed, the device is raised by restarting the power lifting cylinder 14, and after hovering above the water surface, it is moved horizontally away from the cleaning tank 1 or re-entered into the second cleaning tank 1, as shown below. Figure 1 The multiple cleaning tanks 1 arranged side by side are connected by rollers 10 for easy transfer. The purpose of setting multiple cleaning tanks 1 is to achieve a more thorough cleaning through multiple processes, and to allow different cleaning solutions or liquids to be placed in different cleaning tanks 1 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0030] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
