Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of walnut cleaning technology, specifically a walnut cleaning device for walnut powder processing. Background Technology
[0002] Walnuts, also known as Persian walnuts or walnuts, belong to the Juglandaceae family. Along with almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts, they are known as the world's four famous dried fruits. Walnut kernels are rich in nutrients, containing 15-20 grams of protein, a relatively high amount of fat, and 10 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams. They also contain essential trace elements and minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, as well as various vitamins such as carotene and riboflavin. They are beneficial to the human body and are one of the most popular nuts among the general public.
[0003] The specific design and structure of walnut washing devices for walnut powder processing may vary depending on different manufacturers and application requirements, but generally they include the following key components: outer shell, washing tank, water pump, and water inlet pipe. The outer shell is the external casing of the device, which serves to house and protect the internal components. It is usually made of materials such as metal or plastic and has a certain degree of sealing to prevent water from splashing out during the washing process. The washing tank is divided into a horizontal section and a lifting section. The horizontal section is used for washing the walnuts, and the lifting section is used to transport the washed walnuts to the drying area. The front end of the washing tank is equipped with a feeding plate, and the rear end is equipped with a discharge plate to facilitate the loading and unloading of walnuts. The water pump draws water from the storage tank to the water inlet pipe, which is located directly below the conveying mechanism in the horizontal section of the washing tank, providing a water source for washing.
[0004] The existing walnut washing equipment for walnut powder processing has certain drawbacks. It can only clean walnuts once; if the cleaning is incomplete, they need to be put back into the equipment for another wash, increasing workload and time costs for walnut powder production. Furthermore, the washed walnuts may contain residual impurities, requiring separate sorting, which significantly impacts the production schedule. Additionally, the washed walnuts cannot be used directly for walnut powder production; they need to be air-dried separately to remove surface water, further affecting production progress.
[0005] To address the above problems, a walnut cleaning device for walnut powder processing is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes a walnut cleaning device for walnut powder processing.

A high-pressure nozzle is provided at the top of the first cleaning pipe. The high-pressure nozzle is located on the inner wall of the cleaning box, and the second cleaning pipe is connected to the inside of the cleaning drum. By setting a high-pressure nozzle to perform a secondary rinse on the walnuts falling from the discharge pipe, the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency can be greatly improved.
[0010] Preferably, a filter plate is inclinedly arranged inside the cleaning box, the filter plate is located below the high-pressure nozzle, and an inclined guide plate is provided at the bottom of the filter plate. A slag discharge port is provided on the side of the cleaning box, and the guide plate is located on the slag discharge port. The walnuts roll into the drying device through the filter plate, and the impurities on the surface of the walnuts fall into the guide plate through the filter holes on the filter plate, realizing the collection of impurities, avoiding the mixing of impurities into the washed walnuts, and improving the cleanliness of the walnuts.
[0011] Preferably, the cleaning box has a discharge port on its side, the top of the filter plate is positioned on the discharge port, a transfer box is positioned outside the discharge port, an inclined first drying plate is positioned at the bottom of the transfer box, a second drying plate is positioned below the first drying plate, an outlet is opened on the side of the cleaning box, and the bottom of the second drying plate is positioned on the outlet; by using the first and second drying plates, the cleaned walnuts are made to roll on the drying plates, which facilitates the air drying of the cleaned walnuts and improves the quality of walnut air drying.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the cleaning box is provided with two air ducts, each containing a drying fan. Each air duct has a drying motor at its bottom, and the output ends of the two drying motors are respectively fixedly connected to a drying fan. A heating tube is provided above the two air ducts. By using the heating tube to heat the air inside the device and by using the two drying motors to accelerate the air circulation inside the device, the quality of the device in drying walnuts is improved.
[0013] Preferably, the cleaning motor, the two drying motors, and the water pump are all electrically connected to an external power source; connection to an external power source ensures that the equipment is not limited by energy during the required operating period and maintains a stable working state.
[0014] The advantages of this invention are: the rotation of multiple cleaning rollers enables rapid cleaning of the walnut surface; the high-pressure nozzle performs a secondary rinsing of the walnuts falling from the discharge pipe, greatly improving the cleaning effect and efficiency; the walnuts roll into the collection box through the filter plate; and the debris on the surface of the walnuts falls into the cleaning box through the filter holes on the filter plate, thus collecting the debris and preventing the walnuts from being mixed with impurities after cleaning, thereby improving the cleanliness of the walnuts.
[0015] By setting up a heating element to heat the air inside the device, and then having the drying motor drive the drying fan to work, the air circulation inside the device is accelerated. This effectively dries the cleaned walnuts as they roll on the No. 1 and No. 2 drying plates, allowing the cleaned walnuts to be directly used in the production of walnut powder, thus increasing the production speed of walnut powder.
