Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of carrot cleaning technology, specifically to a high-efficiency carrot processing cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional carrot washing methods mostly rely on manual washing or simple mechanical washing equipment. Manual washing not only consumes a lot of manpower, resources, and time, but also the washing effect is inconsistent and greatly affected by factors such as the operator's fatigue and skill level. Washing personnel are in contact with water and detergents for long periods of time, working in harsh environments and with extremely high labor intensity.
[0003] Most existing simple mechanical cleaning equipment only uses simple water rinsing or soaking methods, which are very limited in their cleaning effect on the dirt, impurities, and possible pesticide residues adhering to the surface of carrots. Carrots grow in soil, and their skin often has tightly attached soil particles, especially in the root and fold areas. Conventional water rinsing is difficult to completely remove dirt, which can easily lead to residual impurities in the carrots after washing, affecting subsequent processing steps and product quality.
[0004] The cleaning and maintenance of cleaning components has not been properly addressed in traditional equipment. As cleaning operations continue, components such as brushes and filters on the cleaning device are easily clogged with dirt, leading to a sharp decline in cleaning efficiency. Frequent replacement or manual cleaning of these components consumes a significant amount of downtime, severely impacting production continuity and increasing production costs.
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing carrot cleaning technology and meet the urgent needs of the modern food processing industry for efficient, stable and high-quality cleaning operations, a brand-new high-efficiency carrot cleaning device was developed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0022] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a high-efficiency carrot processing cleaning device includes a base 101. A support frame 102 and a cleaning tank 103 are fixedly mounted on the base 101. A conveying roller 104 is slidably mounted on the support frame 102. A middle plate 108 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 102. A right push rod 109 and a drive connecting rod 106 are slidably mounted on the middle plate 108. A push plate 110 is fixedly mounted on the right push rod 109. A left push plate 112 is fixedly mounted on the drive connecting rod 106. A left push rod 113 is fixedly mounted on the left push plate 112. A toothed ring 117 is rotatably mounted on the cleaning tank 103. Three mounting brackets 118 are fixedly mounted on the toothed ring 117. A left mounting plate 119 and a right mounting plate 120 are fixedly mounted on the mounting brackets 118. A cleaning ring 114 is rotatably mounted on the left mounting plate 119 and is rotatably connected to the right mounting plate 120. A cleaning brush is mounted on the cleaning ring 114.
[0024] Specifically, in use, the carrots to be cleaned are placed between two conveyor rollers 104, which separate multiple carrots. These multiple conveyor rollers 104 are connected together by chains or other structures to form a conveying mechanism. The carrots are conveyed by a conveyor 140, moving them to the position of the cleaning ring 114. Then, the drive linkage 106 slides on the intermediate plate 108, thereby pushing the push plate 110 through the right push plate 107 and right push rod 109. The push plate 110 slides into the gap between the two conveyor rollers 104, pushing the carrots in that gap, causing them to leave the conveyor rollers 104 and enter the cleaning ring 114. During entry into the cleaning ring 114, the drive linkage 106 drives the cleaning ring 114 to rotate, causing the brushes inside the cleaning ring 114 to clean the carrots. After the carrots have completely entered the cleaning ring 114, the push plate 110... The carrot will continue to be pushed deeper into one end of the cleaning ring 114, so that the brush on the cleaning ring 114 comes into contact with the carrot, achieving a high degree of cleaning effect. After the push plate 110 moves to the limit position, the push plate 110 is controlled to move in the opposite direction, so that the push plate 110 moves away from the cleaning ring 114, and the drive linkage 106 drives the left push plate 112 to push the left push rod 113. The left push rod 113 first approaches and contacts the carrot in the cleaning ring 114, and then pushes the carrot out of the cleaning ring 114, returning to the position between the two conveying rollers 104.
[0025] After the cleaning ring 114 completes one cleaning cycle, the control ring 117 rotates on the cleaning tank 103. This rotation, via the mounting bracket 118, left mounting plate 119, and right mounting plate 120, switches the three cleaning rings 114. The cleaning ring 114 that has just completed one cleaning cycle moves from above to below the liquid surface in the cleaning tank 103. During the next cleaning cycle, this ring is driven below the liquid surface to clean the dirt and other impurities from its brush. After the upper cleaning ring 114 has cleaned the carrots, the control plate 119 and right mounting plate 120 rotate to switch again. This process is repeated, allowing the cleaning ring 114, after completing one carrot cleaning cycle, to enter the cleaning tank 103 and perform two underwater spins to clean itself. Then, it is removed from the water for the next carrot cleaning cycle. This ensures the cleanliness of the cleaning ring 114 during carrot cleaning and prevents residual dirt from contaminating subsequent carrots due to repeated cleaning, thus reducing cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.
[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a cylinder 105 is fixedly installed on the base 101. The output end of the cylinder 105 is fixedly connected to the right push plate 107. The first end of the spring 111 is fixedly installed on the drive rod 106. The second end of the spring 111 is fixedly connected to the intermediate plate 108. The spring 111 is sleeved on the drive rod 106.
[0027] Specifically, during use, the cylinder 105 is activated, and the output end of the cylinder 105 controls the drive rod 106 to move to the left. The drive rod 106 pulls the spring 111. Due to the restriction of the intermediate plate 108, the spring 111 is stretched. When the drive rod 106 moves, it drives the right push plate 107 and the left push plate 112 at both ends to move to the left. As a result, the right push plate 107 pushes the right push rod 109 to slide on the intermediate plate 108. The push plate 110 on the right push rod 109 slides between the two conveying rollers 104, thereby pushing the carrots on the conveying rollers 104 to approach and enter the cleaning ring 114 for cleaning. When the left push plate 112 moves, it drives the left push rod 113 to slide on the cleaning ring 114 and move to the left end of the cleaning ring 114 to avoid interfering with the carrots.
[0028] After the pusher plate 110 pushes the carrot into the cleaning ring 114, the pusher plate 110 continues to move. After the pusher plate 110 contacts the right end of the cleaning ring 114, it moves one distance into the cleaning ring 114, thus allowing the carrot to penetrate deeper into the cleaning ring 114. The friction between the pusher plate 110 and the carrot causes the brush inside the cleaning ring 114 to rub against the carrot, thereby cleaning the carrot efficiently and thoroughly. When the left push rod 113 on the left pusher plate 112 pushes, the friction between the left push rod 113 and the carrot ensures that the cleaning ring 114 continues to clean the carrot.
[0029] After cleaning, the cylinder 105 controls the drive rod 106 to move to the right, thereby driving the drive rod 106 to control the left push plate 112 and the right push plate 107 to move to the right. The right push plate 107 drives the right push rod 109 and the push plate 110 to disengage from the carrot, while the left push plate 112 pushes the left push rod 113 to approach and contact the carrot in the cleaning ring 114, thereby pushing the carrot out of the cleaning ring 114 and onto the conveying roller 104, where it is then moved out under the drive of the conveying roller 104.
[0030] When the drive link 106 moves to the right, the speed of the drive link 106 moving to the right is increased by the spring 111, so that the left push rod 113 pushes the carrot to the right. Through inertia, the carrot moves to the conveying roller 104. During the movement, the push plate 110 has not yet left the conveying roller 104, so the conveying roller 104 blocks the carrot and achieves stable removal of the carrot.
[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a drive shaft 116 is rotatably mounted on the motor 115. The output end of the motor 115 is connected to the drive shaft 116 via a belt. A pinion is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 116, and the pinion meshes with the teeth of the gear ring 117.
[0032] Specifically, the drive shaft 116 is driven to rotate by the motor 115 and belt. The small gear on the drive shaft 116 drives the gear ring 117 to rotate on the cleaning box 103, which in turn drives the three cleaning rings 114 to switch. The carrot is cleaned one at a time. When the carrot is switched to the lower cleaning ring 114, it enters the water. The rotation of the cleaning ring 114 cleans the brush inside the cleaning ring 114.
[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a main gear 123 and three left gears 121 are rotatably mounted on the left mounting plate 119. The left gears 121 are rotatably connected to the cleaning ring 114. A main gear 123 and three right gears 122 are rotatably mounted on the right mounting plate 120. The right gears 122 are rotatably connected to the cleaning ring 114.
[0034] A threaded rod 124 is fixedly installed on the drive link 106.
[0035] Specifically, when the drive linkage 106 moves to the left, the threaded rod 124 on the drive linkage 106 drives the two main gears 123 to rotate via the thread. When the main gears 123 rotate, they drive the left gear 121 and the right gear 122 through meshing. The left gear 121 and the right gear 122 together drive the cleaning ring 114 to rotate on the left mounting plate 119 and the right mounting plate 120. When the push plate 110 pushes the carrot, the threaded rod 124 drives the cleaning ring 114 to rotate. After the carrot has completely entered the cleaning ring 114, the push plate 110 will continue to move a certain distance, so that the push plate 110 enters the right end of the cleaning ring 114, thereby ensuring contact between the push plate 110 and the carrot. With the cooperation of the push plate 110 and the cleaning ring 114, thorough cleaning is achieved. When the drive linkage 106 moves to the right, it drives the main gear 123 to rotate in the opposite direction via the threaded rod 124, thereby driving the cleaning ring 114 to rotate in the opposite direction. The drive linkage 106 pushes the left push rod 113 through the left push plate 112. The left push rod 113 contacts and pushes the carrot, causing it to move out of the cleaning ring 114. During this process, the carrot is cleaned by the brush of the cleaning ring 114 due to the friction between it and the left push rod 113. As the push plate 110 pushes the carrot into the cleaning ring 114, the push plate 110 cooperates with the brush inside the cleaning ring 114, simultaneously driving the cleaning ring 114 to rotate, achieving simultaneous pushing and cleaning. After the carrot is fully inside, the push plate 110 continues to penetrate deeper, ensuring continuous and efficient friction between the brush and the carrot, further enhancing the cleaning effect. This multi-mode synergy comprehensively improves the cleaning efficiency and avoids cleaning dead spots.
[0036] When the left push rod 113 pushes the carrot out of the cleaning ring 114 and the push plate 110 pushes the carrot into the cleaning ring 114, the brushes of the cleaning ring 114 clean the carrot by using the spiral trajectory of the brushes around the inside of the cleaning ring 114. This ensures efficient and thorough cleaning, ensuring that every part of the carrot, including the root, folds and other areas that are prone to accumulating dirt, can be fully contacted and deeply cleaned. This effectively removes surface dirt, impurities and any pesticide residues, greatly improving the thoroughness of the cleaning and making the cleaned carrots meet higher hygiene standards.
[0037] After cleaning, drive shaft 116 drives gear ring 117 to rotate. Gear ring 117 drives mounting bracket 118 to rotate on cleaning tank 103, thereby driving left mounting plate 119 and right mounting plate 120 to rotate. This causes the three cleaning rings 114 to switch, moving the upper cleaning ring 114 below the water surface. During the next carrot cleaning cycle, threaded rod 124 drives the three cleaning rings 114 to rotate. The upper cleaning ring 114 cleans the carrot, while the lower two cleaning rings 114 use water flow to clean their brushes. This ensures that the brushes on the cleaning rings 114 remain clean each time the carrots are cleaned, improving cleaning effectiveness, maintaining stable cleaning efficiency, and reducing downtime caused by clogging of cleaning components.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
