Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fresh corn production equipment, and in particular to a cleaning and rinsing device for fresh corn production. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet corn refers to young corn with a special flavor and quality, also known as fruit and vegetable corn. It is primarily consumed for its immature kernels and tender cob, harvested during the milk stage for direct consumption or processing. Based on kernel quality, sweet corn can be classified as sweet corn, waxy corn, etc., and based on kernel color, it can be black, purple, yellow, white, or multicolored.

[0003] In the production of sweet corn, rinsing and cleaning are indispensable and crucial steps, directly affecting the quality and safety of the corn. However, most rinsing and cleaning equipment currently used in the market for sweet corn production relies on manual operation to handle floating debris. Workers must use tools to spend long periods of time beside the rinsing tank, meticulously removing floating debris one by one—a process that is extremely labor-intensive and time-consuming. This not only results in low rinsing and cleaning efficiency, making it difficult to keep pace with large-scale, high-efficiency modern production, but also presents numerous problems in the collection of manually collected debris. Due to the lack of a reasonable and effective collection mechanism, the collected debris often scatters, requiring further sorting and gathering, significantly increasing the workload and difficulty of subsequent processing. This seriously affects the continuity and efficiency of the sweet corn production process, hindering further improvements in production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art above, and to provide a cleaning and rinsing device for fresh corn production.

[0005] A cleaning and rinsing device for fresh corn production includes a device body. The device body has horizontal first slid grooves on both sides and a vertical second slid groove on the other side. Both the first and second slid grooves are fitted with lead screws. Two sets of first sliding blocks are slidably connected to one end of each of the first slid grooves. A debris scraper is fixed between the two sets of first sliding blocks. Multiple sets of water passage holes are evenly distributed on the side of the debris scraper. A debris collection port is located at the other end of the device body. An installation groove is located on one side of the device body, and a debris collection box is installed inside the installation groove. A debris filter screen is installed at the bottom of the debris collection box. A water storage cavity is located at the bottom of the device body, with the debris filter screen at the bottom of the debris collection box positioned above the water storage cavity.

[0006] Two sets of second sliding blocks are slidably connected to one end of the two sets of second sliding grooves respectively. The two sets of second sliding blocks are rotatably connected to a rinsing tank through a side waterproof servo motor and an internal rotating shaft. A leak-proof filter screen is installed on the side of the rinsing tank, and a lid is hinged to the top of the rinsing tank.

[0007] A water pump is installed on the side of the device body, a suction pipe is installed below the water pump, a nozzle bracket is fixed above the water pump, and a nozzle is installed on the side of the nozzle bracket.

[0008] The device body has a drain hole fixed to its side, and the other end of the drain hole extends into the water storage chamber.

[0009] The lead screws inside the first and second slides are both driven by internal waterproof servo motors.

[0010] The number of leak-proof filters is set to four sets, which are installed on the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the rinsing tank.

[0011] The other end of the suction pipe extends into the water storage chamber, and the nozzle is installed directly above the rinsing tank.

[0012] The working principle and process of this utility model:

[0013] During the rinsing of fresh corn, floating debris is pushed by a moving debris scraper. Due to the presence of water passages, water flows normally without affecting the internal water circulation, while the debris gradually accumulates at the debris collection port on the other side of the equipment. The debris falls into the debris collection box through the collection port, where a debris filter performs preliminary filtration, separating the water that drips into the water storage chamber. The debris remains in the box for easy subsequent cleaning, achieving efficient debris removal.

[0014] After placing the fresh corn into the rinsing tank, close the hinged lid to prevent the corn from falling out during rinsing. Leak-proof filters are installed on all four sides of the rinsing tank to ensure free water flow and prevent corn leakage.

[0015] Start the water pump to draw water from the storage chamber through the suction pipe, pressurize it, and spray it out through the nozzle to rinse the fresh corn in the rinsing tank. Impurities on the surface of the corn flow back to the storage chamber with the water through the leak-proof filter, completing the rinsing process.

[0016] When the water in the storage chamber needs to be replaced, the drain hole is opened to drain the wastewater, and then fresh water is injected to ensure effective rinsing. Through this impurity removal and rinsing process, efficient cleaning of fresh corn is achieved, meeting production needs.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] (1) This utility model uses an internal waterproof servo motor to drive the lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves the debris scraper laterally, automatically cleaning floating debris on the water surface without the need for manual retrieval, greatly saving labor costs and improving the efficiency of debris removal. The water passage hole design on the side of the debris scraper ensures normal water circulation and allows debris to be smoothly collected at the debris collection port and fall into the debris collection box. The debris filter screen at the bottom of the debris collection box can perform preliminary filtration of debris and separate water, making debris collection more convenient and efficient, solving the problem of debris scattering during manual collection, and ensuring the smooth operation of the production process.

[0019] (2) In the rinsing stage, this utility model uses a lead screw to drive the rinsing tank to slide vertically, and the position can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. After the fresh corn is placed in the rinsing tank and the lid is closed, the water pump is started, water is drawn from the water storage chamber, pressurized, and then sprayed out through the nozzle to rinse the corn. The leak-proof filter screens on all four sides of the rinsing tank ensure that water can freely enter and exit while preventing corn from leaking out. The entire rinsing process is highly automated, effectively improving rinsing efficiency and quality. Attached Figure Description

The debris filter screen 11 performs preliminary filtration on the debris, separating the water that drips into the water storage chamber 12. The debris remains in the box for easy subsequent cleaning, thus achieving efficient debris removal.

[0028] Two sets of second sliding grooves 3 are slidably connected at one end to two sets of second sliding blocks 13, which are rotatably connected to the rinsing tank 14 via a side-mounted waterproof servo motor and an internal rotating shaft. When the lead screw 4 inside the second sliding groove 3 rotates, it drives the two sets of second sliding blocks 13 to slide vertically, allowing the rinsing tank 14 to be adjusted in position as needed. After placing the fresh corn into the rinsing tank 14, the hinged lid 16 at the top is closed to prevent the corn from falling out during rinsing. Leak-proof filters 15 are installed on all four sides of the rinsing tank 14 to ensure that water can freely enter and exit, preventing the corn from leaking out.

[0029] A water pump 17 is installed on the side of the main body 1, connected to a suction pipe 18 below, and a nozzle bracket 19 is fixed above. A nozzle 20 is installed on the side of the nozzle bracket 19. The other end of the suction pipe 18 extends into the water storage chamber 12, and the nozzle 20 is located directly above the rinsing tank 14. When the water pump 17 is started, water is drawn from the water storage chamber 12 through the suction pipe 18, pressurized, and sprayed out through the nozzle 20 to rinse the fresh corn in the rinsing tank 14. Impurities on the surface of the corn flow back to the water storage chamber 12 through the leak-proof filter screen 15 with the water flow, completing the rinsing process.

[0030] A drain hole 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the equipment body 1, and the other end extends into the water storage chamber 12. When it is necessary to replace the water in the water storage chamber 12, the drain hole 21 is opened to drain the wastewater, and then new water is injected to ensure the rinsing effect. Through this impurity removal and rinsing process, efficient cleaning of fresh corn is achieved, meeting production needs.
