The screening mechanism in this patent uses the gaps between multiple cleaning rollers to separate fruits and vegetables of different sizes. However, if there are large fruits and vegetables, they are easy to get stuck between the cleaning rollers during the separation process, which may cause blockage and block the normal passage of subsequent fruits and vegetables, thus hindering the entire sorting process, significantly reducing sorting efficiency, and affecting the normal operation of the entire production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for food processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning device for food processing includes a cleaning tank, a feed pipe for injecting materials is fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning tank, a water inlet pipe for injecting water is installed on one side of the feed pipe, a sorting box for separating fruits is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank, a partition structure for controlling the number of fruits entering the sorting box is fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank, and a sorting structure for sorting different volumes is rotatably installed inside the sorting box.

[0007] The sorting structure includes sorting rollers, which are rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the sorting box. There are four sorting rollers in total. The outer wall of each sorting roller is provided with sorting holes for screening the volume of fruits and vegetables. One end of each sorting roller is fixedly connected to a toothed ring for driving the sorting roller to rotate. The end of each sorting roller near the toothed ring is rotatably connected to a rotating rod. The outer wall of the rotating rod is fixedly fitted with a drive gear. The outer wall of the drive gear meshes with a steering wheel for driving the toothed ring to rotate in the opposite direction, and it meshes with the toothed ring. The inner cavity of each sorting roller is rotatably installed with a cleaning structure for assisting in cleaning the fruits and vegetables.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a saw gear is fixedly connected to the end of each rotating rod away from the sorting roller. The outer wall of the saw gear is engaged with a saw tooth belt for controlling the synchronous rotation of the four sorting rollers, and the inner wall of the saw tooth belt is engaged with a drive structure for providing power.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the driving structure includes a drive motor, a rotating shaft is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor, a drive gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating shaft, and the drive gear is located inside the sawtooth belt.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the cleaning structure includes a rotating rod located in the inner cavity of the sorting roller. A fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod. A stirring frame for stirring the fruits and vegetables for cleaning is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. When this utility model is used, by setting up a sorting structure, the rotation of multiple sorting rollers pushes the fruits and vegetables to roll and clean them. At the same time, fruits and vegetables of different sizes are sorted out using sorting holes. The continuous rotation of the sorting rollers can prevent fruits and vegetables from getting stuck in the sorting holes and causing blockages, ensuring the smooth passage of fruits and vegetables and improving the sorting efficiency of the device. In addition, the inner cavity of the sorting rollers is also equipped with a cleaning structure. With the cooperation of the steering wheel and the toothed ring, the sorting rollers and the cleaning structure rotate synchronously in opposite directions to increase the contact frequency and intensity between the cleaning structure and the fruits and vegetables, improve cleaning efficiency, and enhance the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the impact force generated when the sorting rollers and the cleaning structure in the same direction and opposite direction come into contact is small, reducing the wear and damage to the fruits and vegetables caused by friction and collision.

[0016] 2. When using this utility model, the separation structure and the rotating shaft drive the stirring plate to rotate the fruits and vegetables in the washing tank for preliminary cleaning, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect of the device. The number of fruits and vegetables falling into the sorting box and the rolling speed can also be controlled by adjusting the speed of the motor, so as to prevent the fruits and vegetables from rolling quickly into the sorting roller with the largest sorting hole, which would increase the sorting error. At the same time, it avoids the large amount of fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box, which would cause blockage, increase the sorting pressure of the device, and affect the sorting effect of the device.

[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.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 A cleaning device for food processing includes a cleaning tank 1, a feeding pipe 2 for injecting materials fixedly installed on the top of the cleaning tank 1, a water inlet pipe 3 for injecting water installed on one side of the feeding pipe 2, a sorting box 4 for separating fruits and vegetables fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, a separation structure 5 for controlling the number of fruits and vegetables entering the sorting box 4 fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank 1, and a sorting structure 6 for sorting different volumes rotatably installed inside the sorting box 4.

[0026] The sorting structure 6 includes sorting rollers 601, which are rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the sorting box 4. There are four sorting rollers 601. Each sorting roller 601 has sorting holes 602 on its outer wall for screening the volume of fruits and vegetables. The sorting holes 602 on the outer wall of each sorting roller 601 are arranged in order from small to large. One end of each sorting roller 601 is fixedly connected to a toothed ring 603 for driving the sorting roller 601 to rotate. The end of each sorting roller 601 near the toothed ring 603 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 604 through a bearing. The outer wall of the rotating rod 604 is fixedly sleeved with a drive gear 605. The outer wall of the drive gear 605 meshes with a steering wheel 606 for driving the toothed ring 603 to rotate in the opposite direction. The drive gear 605 meshes with the toothed ring 603. The inner cavity of each sorting roller 601 is rotatably installed with a cleaning structure 7 for assisting in cleaning fruits and vegetables.

[0027] The steering wheel 606 is located in the gap between the gear ring 603 and the drive gear 605. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the side of the steering wheel 606 near the sorting roller 601, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the sorting roller 601 through a bearing.

[0028] One end of the rotating rod 604 passes through the inner cavity of the sorting roller 601 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning structure 7, so that the rotating rod 604 drives the cleaning structure 7 to rotate in the forward direction. At the same time, the rotating rod 604 drives the drive gear 605 to mesh with the steering wheel 606 and the gear ring 603 to control the sorting roller 601 to rotate in the reverse direction, thereby achieving the effect of the sorting roller 601 and the cleaning structure 7 rotating in the same direction and in reverse. This increases the contact frequency and intensity between the cleaning structure 7 and the fruits and vegetables, improves the cleaning efficiency, and enhances the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the impact force generated when the sorting roller 601 and the cleaning structure 7 rotate in the same direction and in reverse is small, which reduces the wear and damage to the fruits and vegetables caused by friction and collision. At the same time, the sorting roller 601 drives the fruits and vegetables to rotate, so that the fruits and vegetables can pass through the sorting hole 602 for sorting, improving the sorting efficiency and avoiding the phenomenon of fruits and vegetables clogging inside the sorting roller 601.

[0029] Each rotating rod 604 is fixedly connected to a saw gear 607 at the end away from the sorting roller 601. The outer wall of the saw gear 607 is meshed with a saw belt 608 for controlling the synchronous rotation of the four sorting rollers 601. The inside of the saw belt 608 is meshed with a drive structure for providing power.

[0030] To ensure that the toothed belt 608 maintains constant tension and meshes tightly with the saw gears 607, a total of four toothed belts 608 are provided. Two saw gears 607 are located on one side of each of the three sorting rollers 601. Each toothed belt 608 is staggered around the outer wall of two saw gears 607, so that one toothed belt 608 drives two saw gears 607 to rotate (see details). Figure 3 );

[0031] The drive structure includes a drive motor 609, a rotating shaft 610 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 609, a drive gear 611 is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 610, and the drive gear 611 is located inside the sawtooth belt 608.

[0032] The drive motor 609 is located on one side of the sorting box 4, and a dustproof protective cover 612 is installed on its exterior. The protective cover 612 is fixedly connected to the sorting box 4.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 The cleaning structure 7 includes a rotating rod 701, which is located in the inner cavity of the sorting roller 601 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 604 at one end. A fixing ring 702 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 701. An agitator 703 for agitating the fruit and vegetables for cleaning is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 702. A push plate 704 and a cleaning brush 705 are fixedly installed at one end of the agitator 703.

[0034] Two sets of push plates 704 and cleaning brushes 705 are arranged alternately. The rotating rod 701 is connected to the rotating rod 604 to drive the stirring frame 703 to rotate, so that the cleaning brushes 705 clean the fruits and vegetables entering the sorting roller 601. At the same time, the push plates 704 push the fruits and vegetables to rotate and roll them out from the sorting hole 602, further preventing the fruits and vegetables from accumulating inside the sorting roller 601 and causing blockage.

[0035] A fixing strip 706 is fitted around the outside of the rotating rod 701. A washing brush 707 for enhancing the cleaning effect is fixedly installed on the corresponding side of the fixing strip 706 and the agitator 703.

[0036] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 5 The sorting box 4 has five sets of collection plates 8 fixedly installed inside to collect the sorted fruits and vegetables. The end of the collection plate 8 extending outside the sorting box 4 is fixedly installed with a guide plate 9 for moving the fruits and vegetables. The bottom surface of the inner cavity of the collection plate 8 is inclined so that the fruits and vegetables can roll in the direction of the guide plate 9.

[0037] Please see Figure 6 The separating structure 5 includes a rotating shaft 501, which is located in the inner cavity of the washing tank 1. An agitating plate 502 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 501. The agitating plate 502 not only stirs the fruits and vegetables to rotate and wash them, but also separates the fruits and vegetables and distributes them into the sorting box 4, effectively preventing a large amount of fruits and vegetables from flooding in and causing blockages, and increasing the sorting pressure of the device.

[0038] A motor 503 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the cleaning tank 1, and its output end is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 501. A flow channel is opened on the side of the cleaning tank 1 near the sorting box 4, and a guide plate 12 is fixedly installed thereon.

[0039] The bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a filter plate 10 for filtering sewage, and a collection tank 11 for collecting sewage is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, and a discharge pipe is provided on one side of it.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0041] First, fruits and vegetables are fed into the washing tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Water is then injected into the washing tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 3. The motor 503, connected to the rotating shaft 501, drives the agitator plate 502 to rotate, thus agitating and cleaning the fruits and vegetables. After initial cleaning, the fruits and vegetables flow from the flow channel through the guide plate 12 into the sorting box 4 and fall onto the surface of the sorting roller 601. The drive motor 609, connected to the rotating shaft 610, drives the drive gear 611 to rotate, causing the saw belt 608 to synchronously drive four sets of saw gears 607 to rotate. The saw gears 607, connected to the rotating rod 604, drive the drive gear 605 to rotate. The drive gear 605 meshes with the steering wheel 606, which is connected to the gear ring 603 for control. The sorting roller 601 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the fruits and vegetables to rotate and be cleaned accordingly. As the sorting roller 601 rotates, the fruits and vegetables pass through the four sorting rollers 601 in sequence. During this process, if the size of the fruits and vegetables is smaller than the sorting hole 602 on one of the sorting rollers 601, they fall into the inner cavity of that sorting roller 601. At the same time, the rotating rod 604 connects to the rotating rod 701 to drive the stirring frame 703 to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 705 cleans the fruits and vegetables that have entered the sorting roller 601 again. Meanwhile, the push plate 704 pushes the fruits and vegetables to rotate and roll out from the sorting hole 602, and they all flow into the collection plate 8, so as to achieve sorting of fruits and vegetables while cleaning them.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
