Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing equipment technology, specifically to an onion processing device with a cleaning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Onions are an important vegetable crop, widely grown and consumed globally. The cleaning process is crucial in the production, processing, and sale of onions. On the one hand, clean onions enhance their commercial value and increase consumer willingness to buy; on the other hand, cleaning removes dirt, pesticide residues, bacteria, and other impurities from the onion surface, ensuring food safety.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent No. CN211510519U, a cleaning device for onion processing is disclosed. It includes a cleaning tank, with a first motor located at the rear of one side of the cleaning tank. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a drive shaft. A conveyor belt is fitted onto the surface of the drive shaft, and one side of the conveyor belt passes through the cleaning tank and extends to the other side. In this invention, the first motor drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn moves the conveyor belt, causing the onions to move. A second motor drives a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn rotates a roller. The roller then drives a cleaning brush to brush the surface of the onions. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of a water pump, a suction pipe, a drain pipe, and a diversion pipe, water is drawn from the tank, discharged through a water outlet, and flows to the surface of the onions through the drain port. As the onions move, they pass under the nozzle, where water sprayed from the nozzle washes them.

[0004] In the aforementioned patent, although the device can spray and wash onions during the conveyor belt transport process, the part of the onion in contact with the belt can easily form a local obstruction, making it difficult for the sprayed water to directly act on this part of the area, thus failing to meet the requirement of thoroughly washing the onions. Therefore, this utility model provides an onion processing device with a cleaning structure. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0025] Figures 1-6 The first embodiment is shown: an onion processing device with a cleaning structure, including a water tank 1, a conveying device 2 for conveying onions is provided on the top of the water tank 1, and the conveying device 2 is composed of a drive motor, bearing housing, drive shaft, sprocket and chain. Multiple tumbling components 3 for tumbling the onions are equidistantly arranged on the surface of the chain in the conveying device 2; each of the multiple tumbling components 3 includes a non-powered roller 31 and a rotating roller 33. A first connecting block 32 is rotatably provided at both ends of the non-powered roller 31 and is fixedly installed on the chain of the conveying device 2. A second connecting block 35 is rotatably provided at both ends of the rotating roller 33 and is fixedly installed on the chain of the conveying device 2. On the chain of device 2, the outer wall of the rotating roller 33 is provided with multiple protrusions 34. The rotating shaft on one side of the rotating roller 33 passes through the second connecting block 35 and extends outward. A gear 36 is installed on the rotating shaft on one side of the rotating roller 33. When the conveying device 2 conveys the onion from left to right, the gear 36 will mesh with the rack 7 during the process, so that the rotating roller 33 rotates clockwise during the movement. At this time, the onion in contact with it rolls counterclockwise under the action of friction of the rotating roller 33. The protrusions 34 can prevent the rotating roller 33 from being too smooth and causing the onion to not roll. The unpowered roller 31 serves as a transition between two adjacent rotating rollers 33, thereby ensuring the rolling direction of the onion.

[0026] Multiple support plates 71 are fixedly installed on the top of the water tank 1. A rack 7 is fixedly installed between the tops of the multiple support plates 71. The rack 7 meshes with the gear 36. When the rotating roller 33 moves to the position of the rack 7, after meshing with each other, the rotating roller 33 can rotate.

[0027] The interior of the water receiving tank 1 is hollow. A drain hole 11 is provided on the top of the water receiving tank 1 below the conveying equipment 2. A top plate 12 is installed on the top of the water receiving tank 1 through four columns. The drain hole 11 facilitates the entry of wastewater after cleaning into the water receiving tank 1. The water receiving tank 1 is also equipped with a drain pipe to facilitate the discharge of wastewater later.

[0028] Figures 1-6The second embodiment is shown, and its main difference from the first embodiment is that a spray assembly 4 is provided on the top of the top plate 12 for rinsing the onions. The spray assembly 4 includes a water tank 41, and a water pump 42 is provided on the outside of the water tank 41. The inlet pipe of the water pump 42 is connected to the water tank 41, and the outlet pipe of the water pump 42 passes through the top of the top plate 12 and extends downward. The end of the outlet pipe of the water pump 42 is fixedly connected to a water delivery pipe 43, and the outer wall of the water delivery pipe 43 is connected to three spray pipes 44, two of which are spray pipes 44. Spray pipes 44 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying device 2, and another spray pipe 44 is arranged above the conveying device 2. Multiple nozzles 45 are fixedly connected to the spray pipes 44, and the spray pipes 44 are fixed to the bottom of the top plate 12 by connecting rods 46. By starting the water pump 42, clean water in the water storage tank 41 is pumped to all the spray pipes 44 through the water delivery pipe 43 and sprayed out from the nozzles 45, so as to wash the onions. The nozzles 45 in the three positions are arranged opposite each other and all face inward.

[0029] A drying assembly 5 is provided on the top right side of the top plate 12 for drying onions. The drying assembly 5 includes a fan 51 fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 12. An air outlet 52 is installed at the air outlet of the fan 51, and the air outlet 52 passes through the top of the top plate 12 and extends downward. The bottom end of the air outlet 52 is fixedly connected to a fan hood 53. The fan 51 can draw outside air into the air outlet 52 and blow it out from the bottom of the fan hood 53.

[0030] A water baffle 6 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the top plate 12. A limit rod 61 is fixedly installed on the opposite side surface of the two water baffles 6. The water baffles 6 can prevent water from splashing outward during the rinsing process. The limit rod 61 can ensure that the onions are always transported along the predetermined line, and prevent irregularly shaped onions from falling.

[0031] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0032] In use, onions are placed between the non-powered roller 31 and the rotating roller 33, and then conveyed from left to right by the conveying device 2. During the process, the gear 36 meshes with the rack 7, causing the rotating roller 33 to rotate clockwise during movement. At this time, the onions in contact with it tumble counterclockwise under the friction of the rotating roller 33. Simultaneously, the water pump 42 is activated to pump clean water from the water storage tank 41 through the water delivery pipe 43 to all the spray pipes 44 and spray it out from the nozzles 45. The nozzles 45 on both sides rinse the sides of the onions, while the nozzles 45 on the top rinse the continuously rolling onions, thus solving the problem of partial onion obstruction and incomplete rinsing, and improving the rinsing effect. When the rinsed onions are conveyed to the bottom of the hood 53, the fan 51 draws in external air into the air outlet pipe 52 and blows it out from the bottom of the hood 53, thereby accelerating the air circulation around the onions, so that the moisture on the surface of the onions is quickly dried, reducing the risk of bacterial growth due to moisture and facilitating subsequent processing.
