Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning machine for peanut processing. Background Technology

[0002] Peanuts are one of my country's major agricultural products and a major source of high-quality edible oil. After being harvested from the ground, peanuts are covered with a lot of soil, which needs to be cleaned off before further processing.

[0003] In existing peanut processing washing machines, the lack of an effective vibration-assisted washing device leads to numerous drawbacks in the washing process. During washing, peanuts, without external force to tumble on the screen, tend to accumulate on the screen surface, failing to achieve comprehensive contact with the sprayed water. This makes it difficult to thoroughly wash away dirt and impurities from the peanut surface, resulting in some peanuts not being adequately cleaned and significantly reducing washing quality. Furthermore, as the washing process continues, mud and other impurities accumulate on the screen, and due to the lack of vibration, these impurities easily become embedded in the screen mesh, causing blockage. Once the screen is blocked, the flow of sprayed water is obstructed, preventing even distribution on the peanuts, further reducing washing efficiency and creating a vicious cycle that severely impacts the overall progress and quality of peanut processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a peanut processing cleaning machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A peanut processing washing machine includes a washing tank and a functional box. The functional box has an active chamber and a rotating chamber. A reciprocating screw extending to the outside of the functional box is rotatably mounted in the rotating chamber. A drive motor is mounted on the functional box and is connected to the reciprocating screw via a rotating mechanism. A piston plate is mounted in the active chamber and is connected to the reciprocating screw via a connecting mechanism. A spray plate and a screen are mounted in the washing tank. The spray plate is connected to the functional box via a connecting pipe. A water suction pipe is also mounted on the functional box. A slide rod is mounted on the inner wall of the washing tank via an active groove. A slide plate is mounted on the slide rod via a reset mechanism. A baffle connected to the screen is mounted on the slide plate. A drive shaft extending to the outside of the washing tank is rotatably mounted inside the washing tank and is connected to the reciprocating screw via a transmission mechanism. A cam is mounted on the drive shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a drive gear mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, and a transmission gear meshing with the drive gear is mounted on the reciprocating screw.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting frame threaded onto a reciprocating screw, the end of which is fixedly connected to a piston plate.

[0009] Preferably, the reset mechanism includes a spring sleeved on the outside of the slide bar, with both ends of the spring connected to the outer wall of the slide plate and the inner wall of the movable groove, respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes pulleys mounted on a reciprocating lead screw and a transmission shaft, and the two pulleys are connected by a belt.

[0011] Preferably, both the connecting pipe and the suction pipe are equipped with valves, and both valves are one-way valves.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. The peanuts are continuously tumbled on the screen by the spraying plate and the vibration of the screen, which makes them fully contact the sprayed water, improves the cleaning effect, prevents peanuts from piling up, ensures that the unwashed parts are fully exposed for cleaning, and also prevents mud from clogging the screen mesh.

[0014] 2. The support legs at the bottom of the cleaning tank ensure stable operation of the equipment. The bottom discharge port facilitates the discharge of cleaning wastewater and debris, the top feed pipe facilitates the entry of raw materials, and the side discharge port and opening / closing door facilitate operation.

[0015] 3. The drive motor inside the functional box drives the reciprocating screw to rotate through the rotating mechanism, and then uses the connecting mechanism to make the piston plate reciprocate linearly, realizing the effective transmission and conversion of power and providing power for the delivery of spray water.

[0016] 4. The baffle always blocks the moving trough to prevent water and debris from entering, ensuring the normal operation of the internal structure of the equipment and reducing the probability of failure. Attached Figure Description

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-5 This peanut processing washing machine mainly consists of two core parts: a washing tank 1 and a functional box 5. The washing tank 1, as the main area for peanut washing, has support legs 3 at its bottom to stably support the entire machine and ensure it does not shake during operation. A discharge port 4 is also provided at the bottom, through which washing wastewater and debris such as mud can be discharged. A feed pipe 2 is installed at the top of the washing tank 1, facilitating the entry of peanut raw materials into the washing tank 1. A discharge port 26 is located on one side of the washing tank 1, equipped with an opening and closing door 27, a design that facilitates the removal of peanuts from the washing tank 1.

[0025] The internal structure of the function box 5 is relatively complex, divided into an active chamber 6 and a rotating chamber 7. A reciprocating screw 8 is rotatably mounted inside the rotating chamber 7, with one end extending to the outside of the function box 5 for power transmission and conversion. A drive motor 16 is mounted on the function box 5, and the drive motor 16 drives the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate via a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism specifically includes a drive gear 17 mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 16, and a transmission gear 18 mounted on the reciprocating screw 8 and meshing with the drive gear 17. Through the meshing transmission between the gears, the rotational power of the drive motor 16 is transmitted to the reciprocating screw 8. The reciprocating screw 8 has threads only on the outer wall of the portion inside the rotating chamber 7.

[0026] A piston plate 9 is installed inside the active chamber 6, and the piston plate 9 is connected to the reciprocating screw 8 through a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a connecting frame 10 threadedly installed on the reciprocating screw 8, and the end of the connecting frame 10 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 9. When the reciprocating screw 8 rotates, due to the action of the threads, the connecting frame 10 will drive the piston plate 9 to perform reciprocating linear motion within the active chamber 6.

[0027] The washing tank 1 is equipped with a spray plate 11 and a screen 15. The spray plate 11 is connected to the function box 5 via a connecting pipe 12. The suction pipe 28 on the function box 5 is used to draw in washing water. Both the connecting pipe 12 and the suction pipe 28 are equipped with one-way valves to ensure unidirectional water flow and prevent backflow. When the piston plate 9 reciprocates in the moving chamber 6, it can pump the water drawn into the function box 5 through the suction pipe 28 (the other end of the suction pipe 28 can be placed in a tank for storing clean water) through the connecting pipe 12 to the spray plate 11, and then spray it out from the spray plate 11 to spray and wash the peanuts in the washing tank 1.

[0028] The inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a movable groove 22, and a slide rod 23 is installed in the movable groove 22. A sliding plate 24 is provided on the slide rod 23 through a reset mechanism. The reset mechanism consists of a spring 25 sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 23, with both ends of the spring 25 connected to the outer wall of the sliding plate 24 and the inner wall of the movable groove 22, respectively. A baffle 21 connected to the screen 15 is provided on the sliding plate 24. At the same time, a drive shaft 13 extending to the outside is rotatably provided inside the cleaning tank 1. The drive shaft 13 is connected to the reciprocating screw 8 through a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism consists of pulleys 19 installed on the reciprocating screw 8 and the drive shaft 13, and a belt 20 connecting the two pulleys 19. The pulleys 19 and the belt 20 are selected from existing mature synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts to ensure synchronization.

[0029] When the reciprocating screw 8 rotates, it drives the transmission shaft 13 to rotate through the pulley 19 and belt 20. The cam 14 mounted on the transmission shaft 13 also rotates accordingly. During the rotation of the cam 14, it intermittently pushes the screen 15 upward and compresses the spring 25. When it stops pushing, the spring 25 returns to its original position, which, together with the slide plate 24 and the baffle 21, drives the screen 15 to descend and return to its original position, generating vibration. This helps improve the peanut washing effect, allowing the peanuts to continuously tumble on the screen 15 and fully contact the sprayed water. At the same time, it prevents the peanuts from accumulating on the screen 15, allowing the unwashed parts to be fully exposed for washing, and also avoids the mud from clogging the mesh of the screen 15.

[0030] The baffle 21 always blocks the movable groove 22 to prevent water and debris from entering it.

[0031] In use, peanut raw materials enter the washing tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. The drive motor 16 starts, and the drive gear 17 on its output shaft drives the transmission gear 18, causing the reciprocating screw 8 to rotate. The connecting frame 10 on the reciprocating screw 8 drives the piston plate 9 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the moving chamber 6. When the piston plate 9 moves, it draws water from the tank storing clean water through the suction pipe 28, and then sends the water pressure to the spray plate 11 through the connecting pipe 12 to spray and wash the peanuts in the washing tank 1. At the same time, the rotation of the reciprocating screw 8 drives the transmission shaft 13 to rotate through the pulley 19 and belt 20, causing the cam 14 on the transmission shaft 13 to rotate. The cam 14 intermittently pushes the screen 15 upward and squeezes the spring 25. When the spring 25 returns to its original position, it drives the screen 15 to descend and return to its original position, generating vibration to assist in washing the peanuts. During washing, wastewater and debris are discharged from the discharge port 4. After washing, the opening and closing door 27 can be opened and the peanuts can be taken out through the feeding port 26.

[0032] 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.
