Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning technology, and in particular to a papaya cleaning device for papaya wine production. Background Technology

[0002] In papaya wine production, cleaning papayas serves several important purposes, primarily including ensuring raw material quality, enhancing the wine's flavor, guaranteeing fermentation effectiveness, and ensuring food safety. These are detailed below:

[0003] 1) Ensure raw material quality. Remove impurities: During harvesting, transportation, and storage, papayas may accumulate dust, dirt, leaves, and other impurities on their surface. Washing removes these impurities, keeping the papaya raw materials used in fruit wine production pure and preventing impurities from entering subsequent production stages and affecting the quality and appearance of the fruit wine.

[0004] Removing microorganisms: Papaya surfaces may harbor various microorganisms, such as bacteria, mold, and yeast. While some natural yeasts may play a role in fermentation, an excessive amount of unwanted microorganisms can lead to spoilage, affecting the fermentation process and the final quality of the fruit wine. Washing reduces the number of microorganisms, creating a relatively clean environment for subsequent fermentation.

[0005] 2) Enhance the flavor of fruit wine. Remove off-odors: Papaya may absorb odors from the surrounding environment or have a natural, slightly astringent taste. Washing can reduce these odors to some extent, making the fruit wine taste purer and fresher, and preventing off-odors from seeping into the wine during fermentation and affecting its flavor.

[0006] Reduce undesirable components: Papaya peel may contain some bitter substances or components that are not good for the taste. Washing can partially dissolve these components in water and remove them, thereby improving the taste and flavor of the fruit wine.

[0007] 3) Ensure fermentation effect. Facilitates enzymatic hydrolysis and fermentation: The surface of the papaya is cleaner after washing, allowing for more thorough contact between enzymes and papaya pulp during subsequent processes such as crushing and juicing. This promotes enzymatic hydrolysis, allowing for better release of sugars and other nutrients from the papaya, providing sufficient substrate for yeast fermentation, thereby improving fermentation efficiency and alcohol content.

[0008] To avoid hindering fermentation: If there are too many impurities and microorganisms on the surface of the papaya, they may consume nutrients during the fermentation process or produce substances that inhibit yeast growth and fermentation, leading to incomplete fermentation or even failure. Cleaning can effectively avoid these problems and ensure the smooth progress of the fermentation process.

[0009] 4) Ensuring food safety. Removing pesticide residues: Pesticides may be used to control pests and diseases during papaya cultivation. Washing can remove most of the pesticide residues on the surface of the papaya, reducing the pesticide content in the fruit wine, meeting food safety standards, and protecting consumers' health.

[0010] Preventing the accumulation of harmful substances: Dust, dirt and other impurities may contain heavy metals, pollutants and other harmful substances. Cleaning can remove these substances and prevent them from accumulating during the fruit wine production process, thus ensuring the safety of the fruit wine.

[0011] Therefore, cleaning papayas is very important. However, current papaya cleaning methods mostly use spray cleaning, bubble cleaning, or brush cleaning. However, brush cleaning can easily damage the skin, and spray cleaning or bubble cleaning alone is not thorough enough. Based on this, this utility model proposes a papaya cleaning device for papaya wine production. Utility Model Content

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide a papaya cleaning device for papaya wine production, thereby solving the aforementioned problems.

[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0014] This utility model discloses a papaya washing device for papaya wine production, comprising a washing chamber, a feeding plate on the left side of the washing chamber, and an upwardly inclined climbing discharge section on the right side; an aeration device is laid at the bottom of the washing chamber, and a conveying device is arranged above the aeration device, which is mounted on a conveying device mounting frame. Several hinge seats are provided at the upper end of the conveying device mounting frame, and the hinge seats are hinged to the telescopic ends of cylinders. The fixed end of the cylinder is located on the upper surface of the washing chamber; a spray pipe mounting frame is provided above the washing chamber, and spray pipes are mounted on the spray pipe mounting frame, with spray heads at the lower ends of the spray pipes; drain pipe two and drain pipe one are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the left and right side walls of the washing chamber.

[0015] Furthermore, the aeration device includes an aeration pipe with air outlets evenly spaced on it, and the aeration device is connected to an air bag located outside the cleaning tank via an air inlet.

[0016] Furthermore, the transport device includes symmetrically arranged chains, which are driven to rotate by a number of sprockets. The sprockets are connected to a drive shaft, one of which is connected to a drive device. The chains are connected together by a number of equidistant transport rods, which form a ring structure. A number of baffles are equidistantly arranged on the transport rods.

[0017] Furthermore, a limiting block is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning box to restrict the vertical movement of the transport device mounting frame.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer side wall of the transport device mounting frame is provided with a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting block.

[0019] Furthermore, the spray pipe is connected to an external clean water source through its inlet.

[0020] Furthermore, a water inlet pipe is provided on the upper part of the side wall of the cleaning tank.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] This utility model of a papaya washing device for papaya wine production first generates a large number of bubbles through an aeration device. As the bubbles rise in the water, they cause the papayas to tumble, ensuring that all surfaces of the papayas come into full contact with the water, thereby washing away surface dirt, impurities, and pesticide residues. This washing process is relatively gentle and will not damage the papayas. Next, by activating a cylinder, a transport device holding the papayas is lifted to the upper part of the water surface. Multiple spray heads spray high-pressure water onto the papayas. The water pressure can wash away most of the impurities on the papaya surface. The water pressure can also be adjusted according to the cleanliness of the papayas, which not only improves the washing efficiency but also ensures the washing quality. Finally, the transport device is activated to transport the washed papayas to the climbing discharge section for discharge.

[0023] In summary, the papaya cleaning device for papaya wine production of this utility model has a gentle impact on the papaya during the cleaning process, which will not cause mechanical damage to the papaya. It can effectively remove impurities from the surface of the papaya, with good cleaning effect. It is also simple to install, easy to operate, convenient to maintain, and has low energy consumption.

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a papaya washing device for papaya wine production includes a washing chamber 1. A feed plate 2 is installed on the left side of the washing chamber 1, and an upwardly inclined discharge section 3 is installed on the right side. An aeration device 17 is laid at the bottom of the inner side of the washing chamber 1. The aeration device 17 includes an aeration pipe with air outlets evenly spaced on the aeration pipe. The aeration device 17 is connected to an air bag located outside the washing chamber 1 through an air inlet 8.

[0032] A conveying device 12 is installed above the aeration device 17. The conveying device 12 is mounted on the conveying device mounting frame 11. The conveying device 12 includes symmetrically installed chains 1201. The chains 1201 are driven to rotate by several sprockets. There are at least three sets of sprockets, two of which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the washing tank 1, and the other set is located at the top of the climbing discharge section 3, ensuring that the chains 1201 can make turns during transport. The sprockets are connected to drive shafts 1204, one of which is connected to a drive device 4, which is a geared motor. The chains 1201 are connected together by several equidistantly distributed conveying rods 1202. The conveying rods 1202 form a ring structure. Several baffles 1203 are equidistantly installed on the conveying rods 1202. The baffles 1203 are used to support the papayas during transport, preventing them from falling when transported to the climbing discharge section 3.

[0033] The upper end of the transport device mounting frame 11 is equipped with several hinge seats 13, which are hinged to the telescopic ends of the cylinder 7. The fixed end of the cylinder 7 is mounted on the upper surface of the cleaning chamber 1. A limiting block is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 1 to restrict the vertical movement of the transport device mounting frame 11, and a limiting groove that mates with the limiting block is installed on the outer wall of the transport device mounting frame 11. When the cylinder 7 is activated, the telescopic end drives the transport device mounting frame 11 to move vertically, thereby enabling the papaya to undergo either bubble cleaning in water or spray cleaning after rising.

[0034] A spray pipe mounting bracket 5 is installed on the top of the cleaning tank 1. A spray pipe 15 is installed on the spray pipe mounting bracket 5, and a spray head 16 is installed at the lower end of the spray pipe 15. The spray pipe 15 is connected to an external cleaning water source through a spray pipe inlet 6. A solenoid valve and a pressure regulating valve are installed on the spray pipe inlet 6.

[0035] Drain pipe 2 10 and drain pipe 1 9 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the left and right side walls of the cleaning tank 1, and water inlet pipe 14 is installed at the upper part of the side wall of the cleaning tank 1.

[0036] The operation process of this utility model is as follows:

[0037] First, cleaning water is introduced into the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 14. Then, the papaya is placed on the transport device 12, and the aeration device 17 is activated. As the bubbles rise in the water, they cause the papaya to tumble, ensuring that all surfaces of the papaya are in full contact with the water, thereby washing away surface dirt, impurities, and pesticide residues. Next, the aeration device 17 is turned off, and the cylinder 7 is activated. The cylinder 7 moves the transport device 12 upward, taking the papaya off the water surface, and the spray head 16 is activated. The spray head 16 sprays high-pressure water onto the papaya. The water pressure can wash away impurities on the surface of the papaya, and the water pressure can be adjusted according to the cleanliness of the papaya, which not only improves cleaning efficiency but also ensures cleaning quality. Finally, the spray head 16 is turned off, and the cleaned papaya is transported from the cleaning tank 1 to the climbing discharge section 3 by the transport device 12, entering the next processing step.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
