Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sausage casing production technology, specifically a rapid sausage casing cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Sausage casings are tough, semi-transparent membranes made from the large and small intestines of livestock through scraping. They are typically made from sheep intestines or pig small intestines. The main purpose of sausage casings is as the outer covering for stuffing sausages and other fillings. In addition, they can also be used to make the strings of badminton rackets and sutures for wounds. During the production of sausage casings, cleaning equipment is required to clean them to ensure cleanliness.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216255104U discloses a "Sausage Casing Cleaning Device," comprising a storage tank, a constant-pressure sealed container, a water pump for introducing liquid from the storage tank into the constant-pressure sealed container, a cleaning station connected to the constant-pressure sealed container, and a control mechanism for controlling the start and stop of the water pump. The control mechanism includes: a pressure sensor, mounted on the top of the constant-pressure sealed container, for real-time detection of the upper pressure of the container; and a controller for starting the water pump when the pressure sensor reading is below a predetermined value and stopping the water pump when the pressure sensor reading reaches the predetermined value. This patent ensures that the water pressure during cleaning is maintained within a suitable range, avoiding excessive or insufficient water flow that could damage the casings or result in incomplete cleaning. Furthermore, the overall structure is simple and easy to manufacture.

[0004] However, in practical use, existing technologies place sausage casings in a sealed container for cleaning, and the cleaning water gradually becomes turbid. Impurities in the water cannot be discharged in time, resulting in a small amount of impurities always adhering to the surface of the sausage casings in the water, leading to poor subsequent cleaning results. Therefore, a rapid sausage casing cleaning mechanism is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rapid casing cleaning mechanism, solving the problem mentioned in the background art where washing casings in a sealed container causes the cleaning water to gradually become turbid, preventing impurities from being discharged in time and resulting in poor subsequent cleaning effects. To achieve the above objective, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A rapid casing cleaning mechanism includes two mounting frames, a roller rotatably mounted between the two mounting frames, an outer cover connecting the two mounting frames, a movable cover slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer cover, a motor mounted on the left mounting frame via a bracket, a gear connected to the output end of the motor, a geared ring connected to the left end of the roller, the geared ring meshing with the gear, a water spray pipe installed on the inner wall of the roller, and a rotating pipe connected to the left side of the left mounting frame via a bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the left end of the water spray pipe penetrates the left inner wall of the roller, the left end of the rotating pipe is connected to a water inlet pipe, and the right end of the rotating pipe is rotatably connected to the water spray pipe.

[0007] Preferably, the roller has multiple drainage holes, the water spray pipe has multiple water spray holes, and the multiple water spray holes of the water spray pipe are configured in two sets.

[0008] Preferably, the drum is provided with a striking component, which includes multiple sliding shafts. The multiple sliding shafts are divided into two groups, and both groups of sliding shafts are slidably mounted on the drum. The two groups of sliding shafts are mirror images of each other. The end of each sliding shaft away from the water spray pipe is connected to a ball head, and the inner wall of the outer cover is connected to multiple arc-shaped blocks.

[0009] Preferably, a return spring is provided between the slide shaft and the outer wall of the roller, and multiple ball heads on the same set of slide shafts contact multiple arc-shaped blocks respectively during movement.

[0010] Preferably, the water spray pipe is provided with an anti-clogging component, which includes a reciprocating screw. The reciprocating screw is rotatably installed inside the water spray pipe via a bracket. A water wheel is connected to the end of the reciprocating screw near the motor. A movable ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water spray pipe. The movable ring is provided with two square grooves. A top block is slidably installed in each of the two square grooves of the movable ring. A return spring is provided between the top block and the square groove of the movable ring.

[0011] Preferably, the reciprocating screw is provided with a reciprocating thread groove, and the center of the movable ring is provided with a ball thread hole. The ball thread hole of the movable ring is threadedly connected to the reciprocating thread groove on the reciprocating screw through a ball. During the movement, the two top blocks respectively contact the two sets of water spray holes of the water spray pipe.

[0012] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the rapid cleaning mechanism for sausage casings provided in the embodiments of this specification has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model utilizes the combination of a roller and a water spray pipe. The roller rotates, causing the sausage casings inside to tumble continuously, while the water spray pipe sprays water onto the sausage casings through two sets of spray holes for rinsing. The rinsing effect is uniform. During rinsing, sewage and impurities are discharged through the drain hole of the roller, and the water inlet pipe continuously replenishes clean water, ensuring that impurities and sewage generated during cleaning are discharged in a timely manner, thus guaranteeing the cleaning effect. The striking component allows the two sets of sliding shafts to continuously strike the sausage casings during cleaning, promoting the removal of impurities from the surface of the casings and breaking up clumps of casings, reducing the likelihood of casings tangling.

[0014] 2. By setting up the anti-clogging component, the two top blocks above the movable ring will circulate and unclog the two sets of spray holes of the spray pipe in turn during the reciprocating movement of the ring. This prevents the spray holes from being blocked by impurities after long-term use, thus avoiding affecting the rinsing effect. Moreover, only two spray holes are unclogged each time, so the water output effect is not affected. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, a rapid casing cleaning mechanism includes two mounting frames 1, with a roller 4 rotatably mounted between the two mounting frames 1. An outer cover 2 connects the two mounting frames 1, and a movable cover 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer cover 2. Both the outer cover 2 and the roller 4 have inlets with movable covers on their side walls. Workers place casings into the roller 4 through the inlets. The movable cover 3 can be pulled downwards, allowing it and the outer cover 2 to enclose the roller 4, thus preventing water from entering. A motor 5 is mounted on the left mounting frame 1 via a bracket. A gear 6 is connected to the output end of the motor 5. A gear ring 7 is connected to the left end of the roller 4, meshing with the gear 6. The motor 5 drives the gear ring 7 to rotate via the gear 6, which in turn drives the roller 4 to rotate. The inner wall of the roller 4 is equipped with a water spray pipe 9. A rotating pipe connector 8 is connected to the left side of the mounting bracket 1 via a support. The left end of the water spray pipe 9 penetrates the left inner wall of the roller 4. The left end of the rotating pipe connector 8 is connected to a water inlet pipe 10, and the right end of the rotating pipe connector 8 is rotatably connected to the water spray pipe 9. The roller 4 has multiple drainage holes. When the roller 4 rotates, the sausage casing inside continuously tumbles. Combined with the rotating water spray pipe 9, the sausage casing is rinsed during this continuous tumbling process, ensuring effective rinsing from all angles. The water spray pipe 9 has multiple spray holes arranged in two sets. After connecting the water inlet pipe 10 to a water source, water is sequentially passed through the water inlet pipe 10 and the rotating pipe connector 8. 8. Water enters the spray pipe 9. Two sets of spray holes on the spray pipe 9 spray water into the drum 4 to rinse the casing inside the drum 4. The wastewater in the drum 4 is thrown out of the drum 4 through multiple drain holes by centrifugal force. After being blocked and guided by the outer cover 2 and the movable cover 3, it flows into the sewage pipe. The impurities washed out of the casing in the drum 4 are discharged with the wastewater. When the discharged water is relatively clear, it means that the cleaning is complete. After stopping the water intake and motor 5, the casing is removed. The drum 4 is equipped with a striking component 11, which includes multiple sliding shafts 111. The multiple sliding shafts 111 are divided into two groups. Both groups of sliding shafts 111 are slidably installed on the drum 4. The two groups of sliding shafts 111 are mirror images of each other. One end of the slide shaft 11 away from the water spray pipe 9 is connected to a ball head 112. The inner wall of the outer cover 2 is connected to multiple arc blocks 113. A return spring is provided between the slide shaft 111 and the outer wall of the roller 4. When the multiple ball heads 112 on the same set of slide shafts 111 move, they contact the multiple arc blocks 113 respectively. During the contact between the ball head 112 and the arc block 113, the arc block 113 slides along the arc surface of the arc block 113 and is subjected to the counter-pushing force of the arc block 113, so that the ball head 112 drives the slide shaft 111 to slide into the inside of the roller 4. This enables the two sets of slide shafts 111 to perform reciprocating piston motion when cleaning the sausage casing. The two sets of slide shafts 111 can hit the sausage casing in the roller 4 through the reciprocating piston motion, which promotes the cleaning effect.

[0026] In this embodiment, the combination of the roller 4 and the water spray pipe 9 allows the roller 4 to rotate, causing the sausage casing inside to tumble continuously. The water spray pipe 9 sprays water onto the sausage casing through two sets of spray holes for rinsing, resulting in a uniform rinsing effect. During rinsing, sewage and impurities are discharged through the drain hole of the roller 4, while the water inlet pipe 10 continuously replenishes clean water, ensuring that impurities and sewage generated during cleaning can be discharged in a timely manner, thus guaranteeing the cleaning effect. The striking component 11 allows the two sets of sliding shafts 111 to continuously strike the sausage casing during cleaning, promoting the removal of impurities from the sausage casing surface and breaking up clumps of sausage casing, reducing the likelihood of sausage casing tangling. Example

[0027] Please see Figures 6-7 As shown, an anti-clogging component 12 is installed inside the water spray pipe 9. The anti-clogging component 12 includes a reciprocating screw 121, which is rotatably installed inside the water spray pipe 9 via a bracket. A water wheel 122 is connected to the end of the reciprocating screw 121 near the motor 5. When the water in the water spray pipe 9 flows, it drives the water wheel 122 to rotate. A movable ring 123 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the water spray pipe 9. The movable ring 123 has two square grooves, and a top block 124 is slidably installed in each of the two square grooves. A return spring is provided between the top block 124 and the square groove of the movable ring 123. The reciprocating screw 121 has a reciprocating thread groove, and a ball thread hole is provided in the center of the movable ring 123. The ball thread hole of 123 is threadedly connected to the reciprocating thread groove on the reciprocating screw 121 through the ball. The water wheel 122 drives the reciprocating screw 121 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 121 drives the movable ring 123 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the water spray pipe 9 through the cooperation of the reciprocating thread groove and the ball thread hole. During the movement, the two top blocks 124 contact the two sets of water spray holes of the water spray pipe 9 respectively. When the top block 124 contacts the edge of the water spray hole, the top block 124 slides into the water spray hole along the edge of the water spray hole. In the subsequent movement, the top block 124 slides back to its original position along the other edge of the water spray hole and retracts back into the movable ring 123. In this process, the top block 124 clears the water spray hole from the inside to the outside.

[0028] In this embodiment, the anti-clogging component 12 is designed so that during the reciprocating movement of the movable ring 123, the two top blocks 124 above it cyclically and sequentially unclog the two sets of spray holes of the spray pipe 9, thus preventing the spray holes from being blocked by impurities after long-term use and affecting the rinsing effect. Moreover, only two spray holes are unclogged each time, so the water output effect is not affected.

[0029] In use, the sausage casing rapid cleaning mechanism of this utility model has inlet ports with movable covers on the side walls of the outer cover 2 and the roller 4. After the operator puts the sausage casings into the roller 4 through the inlet ports, the movable cover 3 is pulled down so that the movable cover 3 and the outer cover 2 cover the roller 4, which serves to block water. After connecting the water inlet pipe 10 to the water source, water enters the spray pipe 9 through the water inlet pipe 10 and the rotating pipe 8. The two sets of spray holes on the spray pipe 9 spray water into the roller 4 to rinse the sausage casings inside the roller 4. After starting the motor 5, the motor 5 drives the gear ring 7 to rotate through the gear 6. The gear ring 7 drives the roller 4 to rotate. When the roller 4 rotates, the sausage casings inside it will continuously tumble. The rotating water spray pipe 9 ensures that the sausage casings are rinsed during continuous tumbling, effectively cleaning them from all angles. Meanwhile, wastewater in the drum 4 is ejected through multiple drain holes using centrifugal force, flowing into the drain pipe after being blocked and guided by the outer cover 2 and the movable cover 3. Impurities washed out of the sausage casings in the drum 4 are discharged along with the wastewater. The water inlet pipe 10 continuously supplies water, ensuring that impurities inside the drum 4 are constantly discharged, gradually clarifying the rinsing wastewater. When the discharged water is relatively clear, the cleaning is complete. After stopping the water supply and the motor 5, the sausage casings are removed. Simultaneously with the rotation of the drum 4, the drum 4 drives two sets of sliding shafts 111 to rotate. 1. During the movement, the ball head 112 above contacts the arc block 113. During the contact between the ball head 112 and the arc block 113, the arc block 113 slides along its arc surface and is subjected to the counter-pushing force of the arc block 113, causing the ball head 112 to drive the sliding shaft 111 to slide into the inside of the drum 4. After the ball head 112 disengages from the arc block 113, the sliding shaft 111 drives the ball head 112 to return to its original position through the elastic force of the return spring. This achieves the effect that the two sets of sliding shafts 111 can alternately slide a certain distance into the inside of the drum 4 and then return to their original position when rotating. This enables the two sets of sliding shafts 111 to perform reciprocating piston motion when cleaning sausage casings. The two sets of sliding shafts 111 move through the reciprocating piston... The movement can strike the sausage casings in the roller 4, promoting the cleaning effect. Through the cooperation of the roller 4 and the water spray pipe 9, the roller 4 can rotate to make the sausage casings inside tumble continuously, while the water spray pipe 9 can spray water onto the sausage casings through two sets of water spray holes for rinsing. The rinsing effect is uniform. At the same time, sewage and impurities are discharged through the drain hole of the roller 4, and the water inlet pipe 10 continuously replenishes clean water, so that the impurities and sewage generated during the cleaning can be discharged in time to ensure the cleaning effect. Through the setting of the striking component 11, the two sets of sliding shafts 111 can continuously strike the sausage casings during the cleaning process, promoting the removal of impurities on the surface of the sausage casings, and breaking up clumps of sausage casings to reduce the tangling of sausage casings.

[0030] When the water flows in the spray pipe 9, it drives the water wheel 122 to rotate. The water wheel 122 drives the reciprocating screw 121 to rotate. The reciprocating screw 121, through the cooperation of the reciprocating thread groove and the ball thread hole, drives the movable ring 123 to slide back and forth on the inner wall of the spray pipe 9. During the sliding process, the two top blocks 124 above the movable ring 123 will contact the two sets of spray holes in turn. Due to the elastic force of the spring on the top block 124, the top block 124 maintains pressure on the inner wall of the spray pipe 9. When the top block 124 contacts the edge of the spray hole, the top block 124 slides into the spray hole along the edge of the spray hole. During the subsequent movement, the top block 124 slides back to its original position along the other edge of the spray hole and retracts into the movable ring 123. During this process, the top block 124 clears the spray hole from the inside out. The two top blocks 124 clear the two spray holes each time. With the anti-clogging component 12 in place, the two top blocks 124 on the upper part of the movable ring 123 clear the two sets of spray holes of the spray pipe 9 in a cyclical manner during the reciprocating movement of the ring 123. This prevents the spray holes from being blocked by impurities after long-term use, which would affect the rinsing effect. Moreover, only two spray holes are cleared each time, so the water output effect is not affected.

[0031] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
