Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of garlic processing equipment, specifically a garlic clove cleaning device for garlic processing. Background Technology
[0002] Existing methods and technologies for cleaning garlic cloves have many shortcomings. Traditional garlic clove cleaning processes mainly rely on manual operation or the use of simple mechanical devices. This method is not only inefficient, but also fails to achieve ideal cleaning results. While manual washing allows for meticulous processing of individual garlic cloves, it is slow and time-consuming, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Although some simple mechanical devices can improve cleaning speed to some extent, their design limitations result in very limited effectiveness in removing stubborn stains and residues from the garlic clove surface, failing to guarantee thorough cleaning.
[0003] Traditional cleaning methods typically require significant manual intervention, which not only increases labor intensity but can also lead to inconsistent cleaning quality due to human factors. Inconsistent pressure and cleaning time during manual operation can affect the quality and consistency of the final product. Furthermore, the entire cleaning process involves substantial water waste due to the lack of an effective water recycling system, resulting in significant water consumption that is neither economically efficient nor environmentally friendly.

A connecting frame 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 4. A rotating filter assembly 6 is rotatably installed on the inner bottom of the connecting frame 5. Two hydraulic cylinders 7 are hinged between the connecting frame 5 and the rotating filter assembly 6 to control the tilt angle and position of the filter assembly. A water circulation mechanism 8 and a spray assembly 9 are installed on the cleaning chamber 1. The water circulation mechanism 8 is connected to the spray assembly 9 to ensure that the cleaning solution can be recycled. An inclined elastic filter screen 10 is connected to one side of the cleaning chamber 1.

[0031] Ultrasonic generators 12 are embedded on both sides of the interior of the cleaning chamber 1, and a bubble generator 13 is installed at the bottom of the inner chamber 1, effectively removing stubborn stains and residues. The rotating filter assembly 6 includes a placement frame 61, with connecting rods 62 fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the placement frame 61, allowing it to rotate within the connecting frame. One end of each connecting rod 62 is rotatably mounted on the bottom inner side of the connecting frame 5. The bottom inner side of the placement frame 61 has multiple filter holes 63, and one side of the placement frame 61 is a sloping discharge plate 64 for easy discharge of garlic cloves. The water circulation mechanism 8 is located below the sloping elastic filter screen 10. The bottoms of two hydraulic cylinders 7 are hinged to the connecting frame 5, and the extension rods of the two hydraulic cylinders 7 are hinged to the upper side of the rotating filter assembly 6.
