Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable cleaning technology, specifically to a fruit and vegetable cleaning device for freeze-dried food processing. Background Technology

[0002] Freeze-dried foods are rapidly frozen and dehydrated in a vacuum, preserving their original color, aroma, flavor, nutritional components, and appearance. They also have excellent rehydration properties and contain no additives, making them ideal natural and hygienic foods. For freeze-dried fruits and vegetables, the surface often needs to be cleaned before processing to improve the quality of the freeze-dried products.

[0003] Most existing fruit and vegetable cleaning equipment involves placing freeze-dried fruits and vegetables into the cleaning machine, then immersing them in water and stirring them to achieve the cleaning purpose. Alternatively, the freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are placed into the cleaning machine and water is sprayed through the cleaning pipe to rinse the surface of the food. However, both of these cleaning methods not only require a large amount of water resources, but also easily damage the surface of the food during the cleaning process, affecting the quality of subsequent processing.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fruit and vegetable cleaning device for freeze-dried food processing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fruit and vegetable cleaning device for freeze-dried food processing to solve the problems existing in the background technology. The technical solution of this utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from the existing technology, which is too simplistic.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fruit and vegetable cleaning device for freeze-dried food processing, comprising a box body, a conical box connected to the top of the box body, a feed inlet at the center of the top of the conical box, fixed plates connected to both ends of the top inner side of the box body, an automatic opening and closing mechanism installed at one end of the two fixed plates facing each other, a cleaning mechanism installed at the center of the inner side of the box body, and a water tank connected to one side of the box body.

[0007] Preferably, the automatic opening and closing mechanism includes a groove formed at the horizontal end of a fixed plate on one side, elastic telescopic rods are installed equidistantly inside the groove, the other end of the elastic telescopic rods is connected to a connecting plate inserted into another set of fixed plates, and an arc-shaped block is connected to one bottom end of the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, an inclined guide plate is installed on the top of the fixing plate, and the inclined guide plate is inclined in the direction of facing one end of the two sets of fixing plates.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a rotating roller installed at the center of the front and rear ends inside the box, the rear end face of the rotating roller is connected to a drive device with an output end penetrating through the rear side of the box, the outer wall of the rotating roller is equipped with partition plates at equal intervals, and the front and rear ends of the box are also equipped with arc-shaped circular plates.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the arc-shaped circular plate has an open structure, and an adjustable arc-shaped plate is provided on the lower side of the arc-shaped circular plate. A rotating seat is connected to the top of the outer side of the arc-shaped plate, and a rotating rod that is rotatably connected to the housing is provided through the interior of the rotating seat. The rear end face of the rotating rod is connected to a second driving device with an output end that passes through the rear side of the housing.

[0011] Preferably, an arc-shaped guide plate is installed at one end of the inner bottom of the box, and a removable baffle is provided at one end of the inner bottom of the box.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting pipe is installed at the bottom inner side of the water tank, extending into the interior of the tank, and the connecting pipe is controlled to open and close by a solenoid valve. An L-shaped pipe is installed at the top inner side of the water tank, extending into the interior of the tank, and a water pump is installed on the outer wall of the L-shaped pipe.

[0013] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.

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

[0015] The driving device of this utility model can drive the rotating roller to rotate at a constant speed, thereby driving the partition plate to rotate. During the rotation, the partition plate first abuts against the lower side of the arc block, and then squeezes the arc block, causing the connecting plate to move towards the inside of the groove. At this time, the food inside the conical box will fall between the two partition plates for storage. Then, after the partition plate squeezes the arc block to a certain extent, the partition plate separates from the arc block. At this time, the connecting plate is reset by the elastic telescopic rod. Then, the next set of partition plates repeats this process, so that different types of food can be stored in different positions, achieving the effect of separate cleaning of different types of food, which is convenient for subsequent food collection. In addition, during the rotation of the rotating roller, the stored food will be turned over, which is convenient for full-range cleaning.

[0016] After cleaning, the water inside the box is recycled back into the water tank. At this time, the control drive device drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating seat to drive the arc plate to rotate. When the partition plate rotates to the lower side, the food on its upper side will automatically fall out, realizing automatic unloading of food. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 A fruit and vegetable cleaning device for freeze-dried food processing includes a box body 1, a conical box 2 connected to the top of the box body 1, a feed inlet 3 opened at the center of the top of the conical box 2, fixed plates 4 connected to both ends of the top inner side of the box body 1, an automatic opening and closing mechanism 5 installed at one end of the two fixed plates 4 facing each other, a cleaning mechanism 6 installed at the center of the inner side of the box body 1, and a water tank 7 connected to one side of the box body 1.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the automatic opening and closing mechanism 5 includes a groove 501 opened at the horizontal end of a fixed plate 4 on one side. Elastic telescopic rods 502 are installed equidistantly inside the groove 501. The other end of the elastic telescopic rod 502 is connected to a connecting plate 503 inserted into another set of fixed plates 4. One end of the bottom of the connecting plate 503 is connected to an arc-shaped block 504. Food entering the conical box 2 through the feed inlet 3 will accumulate on the top of the connecting plate 503. At this time, it is only necessary to squeeze the arc-shaped block 504 in the direction of the elastic telescopic rod 502 to drive the connecting plate 503 to move towards the groove 501, so that the food inside the conical box 2 falls into the box body 1 for cleaning.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an inclined guide plate 8 is installed on the top of the fixed plate 4. The inclined guide plate 8 is inclined towards the opposite end of the two sets of fixed plates 4. The two sets of inclined guide plates 8 will cause the food entering the conical box 2 to move in the direction between the two fixed plates 4.

[0027] like Figure 1-4As shown, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a rotating roller 601 installed at the center of the front and rear ends inside the housing 1. The rear end face of the rotating roller 601 is connected to a drive device 602 with its output end penetrating the rear side of the housing 1. Dividers 603 are evenly spaced installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller 601. Arc-shaped circular plates 604 are also installed at the front and rear ends of the housing 1. The drive device 602 can drive the rotating roller 601 to rotate at a uniform speed, thereby causing the dividers 603 to rotate. During rotation, the dividers 603 first abut against the lower side of the arc-shaped block 504, and then, during rotation, squeeze the arc-shaped block 504, causing the connecting plate 503 to move towards the groove 50. When the internal movement of 1 occurs, the food inside the conical box 2 will fall between the two partition plates 603 for storage. Then, the partition plates 603 squeeze the arc-shaped block 504 to a certain extent, and the partition plates 603 and the arc-shaped block 504 will separate. At this time, the connecting plate 503 will be reset by the elastic telescopic rod 502. The next set of partition plates 603 will repeat this process, so that different types of food can be stored in different positions, which can achieve the effect of cleaning different types of food separately, which is convenient for subsequent food collection. In addition, during the rotation of the rotating roller 601, the stored food will be turned over, which is convenient for cleaning the entire range.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the upper end of the arc-shaped circular plate 604 has an open structure. An adjustable arc-shaped plate 9 is provided on the lower side of the arc-shaped circular plate 604. A rotating seat 10 is connected to the top of the outer side of the arc-shaped plate 9. A rotating rod 11, which is rotatably connected to the box body 1, is provided through the inside of the rotating seat 10. A drive device 2 12 with an output end that passes through the rear side of the box body 1 is connected to the rear end of the rotating rod 11. After cleaning, the water inside the box body 1 is recycled into the water tank 7. At this time, the drive device 2 12 is controlled to drive the rotating rod 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating seat 10 to drive the arc-shaped plate 9 to rotate. When the partition plate 603 rotates to the lower side, the food on its upper side will automatically fall out, realizing automatic unloading of the food.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an arc-shaped guide plate 13 is installed at one end of the inner bottom of the box 1, and a removable baffle 14 is provided at the bottom of one end of the inner side of the box 1. The food that is automatically unloaded will be transported to the outside of the box 1 for collection through the arc-shaped guide plate 13.

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, a connecting pipe 15 is installed on the inner bottom of the water tank 7, which extends into the interior of the tank body 1. The connecting pipe 15 is controlled to open and close by a solenoid valve. An L-pipe 16 is installed on the inner top of the water tank 7, which extends into the interior of the tank body 1. A water pump 17 is installed on the outer wall of the L-pipe 16. The water pump 17 can draw water from the interior of the tank body 1 into the water tank 7 through the L-pipe 16. The connecting pipe 15, which is controlled to open and close by a solenoid valve, can transport water from the interior of the water tank 7 into the interior of the tank body 1 for cleaning. Only a certain height of water is required.

[0031] Working Principle: In use, the operator first pours the same type of food into the conical box through the inlet. Then, the drive device 602 drives the rotating roller 601 to rotate at a constant speed, thereby causing the partition plate 603 to rotate. During rotation, the partition plate 603 first presses against the lower side of the arc-shaped block 504. Then, during rotation, it squeezes the arc-shaped block 504, causing the connecting plate 503 to move towards the inside of the groove 501. At this time, the food inside the conical box 2 will fall between the two partition plates 603 for storage. After the partition plate 603 squeezes the arc-shaped block 504 to a certain extent, the partition plate 603 separates from the arc-shaped block 504. At this point, the elastic telescopic rod 502 resets the connecting plate 503. The next set of partition plates 603 then repeats this process, thus allowing different types of food to be stored together. Foods of the same type are stored in different locations, which can achieve the effect of cleaning different types of food separately, making it easier to collect food later. During the rotation of the rotating roller 601, the stored food will be turned over, which facilitates full-range cleaning. After cleaning, the water inside the box 1 is recycled into the water tank 7. At this time, the control drive device 12 drives the rotating rod 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating seat 10 to drive the arc plate 9 to rotate. When the partition plate 603 rotates to the lower side, the food on its upper side will automatically fall out, realizing automatic unloading of food. The water pump 17 can draw water from the inside of the box 1 into the water tank 7 through the L pipe 16. The connecting pipe 15, which is controlled by the solenoid valve to open and close, can transport the water from the water tank 7 into the box 1 for cleaning.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
