Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning devices, and more specifically, to a steaming tray cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), the dumplings need to be placed in steaming trays for subsequent steaming, conveying, sorting, and packaging. After the dumplings are removed from the steaming trays, stains from when the dumplings were placed on the trays will accumulate on the trays, which need to be cleaned to avoid affecting the subsequent use of the trays.
[0003] Currently, manual cleaning of the steaming trays is used. The trays are cleaned uniformly after the production of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) is completed to ensure the production quality of xiaolongbao when the trays are used for subsequent use. However, manual cleaning not only increases the time spent cleaning the trays and reduces the efficiency of cleaning the trays, but also increases the fatigue of workers by manually cleaning multiple trays, which is quite inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a steaming tray cleaning device.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a steaming tray cleaning device, including a machine base and a conveyor belt set on the machine base, and a cleaning mechanism set on the machine base. The cleaning mechanism is located directly above the conveyor belt and a cleaning channel is formed between the two. One end of the cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to an input pipe. A water collection frame is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the machine base. The top of the water collection frame is open and located directly below the conveyor belt. Water flow gaps are formed between the conveyor belt and the inner side walls of the machine base. The water flow gaps are correspondingly set with the water collection frame. A wiping component for wiping the steaming tray is slidably installed on the machine base along the vertical direction. The wiping component is located directly above the conveyor belt.
[0007] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes multiple hollow frames arranged in parallel and multiple nozzles disposed on the hollow frames. The input pipe is fixedly connected to one of the outermost hollow frames and the two are connected. Multiple interconnecting components are disposed between two adjacent hollow frames to connect them. The hollow frames are arranged in an inverted U-shape. The multiple nozzles are respectively disposed on the top wall and the two side walls of the hollow frames. A water supply pipe is fixedly connected between the hollow frames and the nozzles. The water supply pipe is connected to the interior of the hollow frames and the nozzles. The cleaning channel is formed between the hollow frames and the conveyor belt. The multiple hollow frames are fixedly mounted on the machine base by mounting components.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes two mounting strips and multiple mounting blocks. The two mounting strips are symmetrically arranged and fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the machine tool. The mounting strips are located above the conveyor belt. The bottom of the hollow frame is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting strips by the mounting blocks. The mounting blocks are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the bottom of the hollow frame, and the mounting blocks and mounting strips are fixedly mounted by bolts.
[0009] Preferably, the interconnection assembly includes two interconnection pipes, which are coaxially arranged and fixedly connected to the side walls of two adjacent hollow frames that are close to each other. The interconnection pipes communicate with the interior of the hollow frames, and flanges are fixedly connected to both interconnection pipes. The flanges on the two interconnection pipes are fixedly installed together by bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the wiping assembly includes a connecting rod and a wiping cloth fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The wiping cloth is located directly above the conveyor belt. Two symmetrically arranged mounting plates are fixedly connected to the machine base. Each of the two mounting plates has a sliding groove. A slider is slidably connected in the vertical direction within the sliding groove. A vertical rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove and passes through the slider. The top wall of the sliding groove is fixedly connected to the top of the slider by a spring. The spring is sleeved on the vertical rod. Magnetic blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod. The side walls of the two sliders that are close to each other have grooves for the magnetic blocks to be embedded in the horizontal direction. The sliders are made of ferromagnetic metal.
[0011] Preferably, a plurality of filter screens arranged in parallel are slidably installed on the top of the water collection frame. The filter screens abut against the inner side wall of the machine and the top of the water collection frame, respectively. A plurality of support bars for supporting the filter screens are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the water collection frame.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This solution sets up a cleaning mechanism on the machine platform, a water collection frame on the bottom surface of the machine platform, and a wiping component on the machine platform. Multiple steaming trays to be cleaned are transported by a conveyor belt towards the wiping component. During the transport of the steaming trays by the conveyor belt, they first enter the cleaning channel. The operator injects water into the cleaning mechanism through the input pipe, and the cleaning mechanism cleans the area around the multiple steaming trays on the conveyor belt simultaneously. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the steaming trays and increases the efficiency of cleaning multiple steaming trays. The wastewater generated during the cleaning of the steaming trays first passes through the water flow gap and then flows into the water collection frame for collection. After being cleaned by the cleaning mechanism, the steaming trays continue to be transported by the conveyor belt, causing them to leave the cleaning channel and move closer to the wiping component until the steaming trays come into contact with the wiping component to wipe away the water adhering to the steaming trays. Furthermore, the wiping component can be moved vertically to accommodate steaming trays of different thicknesses. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] Example:
[0020] Steaming tray cleaning device, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the system includes a machine base 1 and a conveyor belt 2 mounted on the machine base 1.

A motor is mounted on the outer side wall of the machine base 1 by fastening bolts. The output end of the motor passes through the side wall of the machine base 1 and is welded to one end of one of the rotating rollers. The system also includes a cleaning mechanism 3 mounted on the machine base 1. The cleaning mechanism 3 is located directly above the conveyor belt 2, and a cleaning channel 4 is formed between the two. An input pipe 5 is welded to one end of the cleaning mechanism 3. A water collection frame 6 is welded to the inner bottom surface of the machine base 1. The top of the water collection frame 6 is open and located directly below the conveyor belt 2. Water flow gaps 7 are formed between the conveyor belt 2 and the inner side walls of the machine base 1, and the water flow gaps 7 are correspondingly arranged with the water collection frame 6. A wiping assembly 8 for wiping the steaming trays is slidably mounted on the machine base 1 in the vertical direction. The wiping assembly 8 is located directly above the conveyor belt 2. 3 includes multiple hollow frames 301 arranged in parallel and multiple nozzles 302 arranged on the hollow frames 301. The hollow frames 301 are hollow inside. The input pipe 5 is welded to one of the outermost hollow frames 301 and the two are connected. Multiple interconnecting components 9 are arranged between two adjacent hollow frames 301 to connect them. The hollow frames 301 are arranged in an inverted U-shape. Multiple nozzles 302 are respectively arranged on the inner top wall and the inner side walls of the hollow frames 301. A water supply pipe 10 is welded between the hollow frames 301 and the nozzles 302. The water supply pipe 10 is connected to the interior of the hollow frames 301 and the nozzles 302. The cleaning channel 4 is formed between the hollow frames 301 and the conveyor belt 2. Multiple hollow frames 301 are fixedly installed on the machine base 1 by the mounting component 11.
[0021] The mounting assembly 11 includes two mounting strips 111 and multiple mounting blocks 112. The two mounting strips 111 are symmetrically arranged and welded to the inner side walls of the machine base 1, and the mounting strips 111 are located above the conveyor belt 2. The bottom of the hollow frame 301 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting strips 111 by the mounting blocks 112. The mounting blocks 112 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the bottom of the hollow frame 301, and the mounting blocks 112 and the mounting strips 111 are fixedly installed by bolts. Both the mounting blocks 112 and the mounting strips 111 have threaded holes for cooperating with bolts. The interconnection assembly 9 includes two interconnection pipes 901. The two interconnection pipes 901 are coaxially arranged and welded to the adjacent side walls of two hollow frames 301. The interconnection pipes 901 are connected to the interior of the hollow frame 301. Both interconnection pipes 901 are welded with flanges 12, and the flanges 12 on the two interconnection pipes 901 are fixedly installed by bolts.
[0022] The wiping assembly 8 includes a connecting rod 801 and a wiping cloth 802 bonded to the bottom of the connecting rod 801. The wiping cloth 802 is located directly above the conveyor belt 2. Two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 13 are welded on the machine base 1. Each mounting plate 13 has a groove 14. A slider 15 is slidably connected in the vertical direction in the groove 14. A vertical rod 16 is welded to the inner wall of the groove 14 and passes through the slider 15. The top wall of the groove 14 and the top of the slider 15 are bonded to each other by a spring 17. The spring 17 is sleeved on the vertical rod 16. Magnetic blocks 18 are bonded to both ends of the connecting rod 801. The side walls of the two sliders 15 that are close to each other have grooves 19 for the magnetic blocks 18 to be inserted in the horizontal direction. The grooves 19 are connected to the side of the slider 15 that is close to the cleaning mechanism 3. The slider 15 is made of metal iron.
[0023] Multiple filter screens 20 arranged in parallel are slidably installed on the top of the water collection frame 6. The filter screens 20 slide horizontally and abut against the inner wall of the machine base 1 and the top of the water collection frame 6. The filter screens 20 are located directly below the conveyor belt 2. Multiple support bars 21 for supporting the filter screens 20 are welded to the inner wall of the water collection frame 6. A slot 22 for multiple filter screens 20 to pass through is opened on one side of the machine base 1. A water pump is placed on the side of the machine base 1 away from the slot 22. The water pump is used to extract the liquid contained in the water collection frame 6. The water pump is equipped with a suction pipe and a discharge pipe. One end of the suction pipe passes through the side wall of the machine base 1 and is located inside the water collection frame 6.
[0024] Multiple steaming trays to be cleaned are placed at the end of the machine platform 1 away from the wiping assembly 8, and transported towards the wiping assembly 8 by the conveyor belt 2. During transport, the steaming trays first enter the cleaning channel 4 formed between the cleaning mechanism 3 and the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the operator injects water into one of the outermost hollow frames 301 connected to it through the input pipe 5, so that water is poured into the hollow frame 301. Because the interconnecting pipe 901 is connected to the hollow frame 301, and the interconnecting pipes 901 on two adjacent hollow frames 301 are installed by flange 12 and bolt 2, water will be injected into multiple hollow frames 301 sequentially through the interconnecting assembly 9. When water is injected... When water enters the hollow frame 301, because the water supply pipe 10 is connected to both the interior of the hollow frame 301 and the nozzle 302, water flows from inside the hollow frame 301 into the water supply pipe 10 and the nozzle 302, and is sprayed out from the nozzle 302 to simultaneously clean the multiple steaming trays located on the conveyor belt 2. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning of the steaming trays and increases the efficiency of cleaning multiple steaming trays. The wastewater generated during the cleaning of the steaming trays flows into the water flow gap 7 formed between the conveyor belt 2 and the inner wall of the machine 1. After passing through the water flow gap 7, the wastewater continues to flow downwards until it passes through multiple filter screens 20 and falls into the water collection frame 6 for collection. The collection frame 6 uses multiple filter screens 20 located at the top to filter impurities in the wastewater. Support bars 21 provide support for the filter screens 20. A water pump draws water from the collection frame 6 into the suction pipe, and the liquid is discharged through the discharge pipe for further treatment. After being cleaned by the cleaning mechanism 3, the steaming tray is transported by the conveyor belt 2, causing it to detach from the cleaning channel 4 and approach the wiping assembly 8 until it contacts the bottom of the connecting rod 801 and the wiping cloth 802 to wipe away any moisture. The contact between the steaming tray and the connecting rod 801 pushes the connecting rod 801 upwards, as the magnetic block 18 is embedded and attracts... The connecting rod 801 is attached to the groove 19 on the slider 15. When the connecting rod 801 moves upward, it drives the slider 15 to move vertically upward in the groove 14. When the slider 15 moves upward, the spring 17 is gradually compressed and deformed, so that the wiping assembly 8 can be used to wipe steaming trays of different thicknesses. When the wiping cloth 802 needs to be cleaned, the connecting rod 801 is moved horizontally towards the cleaning mechanism 3. When the connecting rod 801 moves, it drives the magnetic blocks 18 at both ends to move until the magnetic blocks 18 disengage from the groove 19 and are no longer attracted to the slider 15. This allows the connecting rod 801 and the wiping cloth 802 to be detached from the two sliders 15 for cleaning the wiping cloth 802.
[0025] The operator can remove bolt 2 to disconnect it from the flange 12 on the interconnecting pipe 901 of the two adjacent hollow frames 301, and then remove bolt 1 to disconnect it from the threaded holes on the mounting block 112 and the mounting strip 111, so that the hollow frame 301 can be removed from the two mounting strips 111, so that the mounting block 112 does not collide with the mounting strip 111, and the hollow frame 301, the water supply pipe 10 on the hollow frame 301 and the nozzle 302 can be removed from the machine 1 for replacement, so that one or more hollow frames 301 can be partially replaced without replacing the entire cleaning mechanism 3.
[0026] When the filter screen 20 becomes clogged and needs to be cleaned, hold the filter screen 20 close to one side of the slot 22 and move it so that the filter screen 20 does not come into contact with the support bar 21 and the top of the water collection frame 6, until the filter screen 20 passes through the slot 22 and is taken out of the machine 1 for cleaning.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
