[0002] In the vegetable processing industry, vegetable sorting and cleaning are crucial steps in the processing. Vegetable sorting is the process of classifying and selecting vegetables according to certain standards, specifically based on variety, size, shape, and ripeness. Vegetable cleaning refers to removing mud, impurities, and any bacteria or viruses that may be present on the surface of the vegetables. Generally, clean water is used, and appropriate cleaning agents, such as vinegar or bleach, can be added as needed to achieve a more ideal cleaning effect and ensure the hygiene and safety of the vegetables.
[0003] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that traditional vegetable sorting methods mostly rely on manual operation. Manual sorting is not only inefficient but also easily affected by human factors, resulting in low sorting accuracy and difficulty in meeting the needs of large-scale production. In addition, existing vegetable sorting and cleaning equipment usually separates the sorting and cleaning functions, resulting in large equipment footprints and independent sorting and cleaning processes with cumbersome operation procedures, which increases production costs and labor input. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, this application provides a vegetable sorting and cleaning equipment. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] A vegetable sorting and cleaning device, referring to Figure 1 - Figure 5 The system includes two vertical plates 1, a sorting box 2, a water pump 9, a water tank 15, and a cleaning assembly. A conveying mechanism 3 is located between the two vertical plates 1. A sorting frame 4 is fixedly installed between the two vertical plates 1 and below one side of the conveying mechanism 3. Multiple sorting rollers 5 are rotatably connected inside the sorting frame 4. The sorting box 2 is located directly below the sorting frame 4. A partition 6 is fixedly connected inside the sorting box 2, dividing the sorting box 2 into two sorting chambers 7. The conveying mechanism 3 is located between the two vertical plates 1 and can transport vegetables to a designated position. When the vegetables are transported to one side of the conveying mechanism 3, they will fall due to gravity. The sorting frame 4 is fixedly installed below one side of the conveying mechanism 3. The multiple sorting rollers 5 rotatably connected inside the sorting frame 4 will play a role during the fall of the vegetables. Vegetables of different sizes will fall at different positions because the spacing between adjacent sorting rollers 5 is not exactly the same. Smaller vegetables fall through the narrower gaps in the sorting rollers 5, while larger vegetables fall through the wider gaps, eventually landing in the sorting box 2 located directly below the sorting frame 4. The internal partition 6 of the sorting box 2 divides it into two sorting chambers 7, allowing for the separate collection of vegetables of different sizes, thus achieving initial sorting of vegetables by size.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The tops of the two vertical plates 1 are fixedly connected to a gantry frame 8. The cleaning assembly includes a water inlet pipe 10 connected to the water inlet of a water pump 9. The end of the water inlet pipe 10 away from the water pump 9 extends into the interior of a water tank 15. The drain outlet of the water pump 9 is connected to a drain pipe 11. The end of the drain pipe 11 away from the water pump 9 passes through the top wall of the gantry frame 8 and is connected to a horizontal pipe 12. Multiple cleaning nozzles 13 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the horizontal pipe 12. The water pump 9 and the water tank 15 are both fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the gantry frame 8. After the water pump 9 is started, water is drawn through the water inlet of the gantry frame 8. The water pump 10 draws water from the water tank 15. The end of the water pump 10 away from the water pump 9 extends into the water tank 15 to ensure that enough water can be drawn. The drawn water enters the drain pipe 11 through the drain outlet of the water pump 9. The drain pipe 11 transports the water and passes through the top wall of the portal frame 8 before connecting to the horizontal pipe 12. Multiple cleaning nozzles 13 connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the horizontal pipe 12 will spray water evenly onto the vegetables below to clean them. In this way, the cleaning function of vegetables is realized. The use of circulating water for cleaning improves the utilization rate of water resources.
[0023] Reference Figure 3One of the vertical plates 1 has a control panel 14 installed on its outer wall. Operators can control various parts of the equipment through the control panel 14. For example, they can control the running speed and start / stop of the conveyor mechanism 3, adjust the pumping and draining power of the water pump 9, and thus control the spraying intensity of the cleaning nozzle 13. The control panel 14 integrates the operation and control functions of the equipment, enabling operators to manage and adjust the equipment conveniently and quickly to adapt to different vegetable sorting and cleaning needs.
[0024] The implementation principle of a vegetable sorting and cleaning device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: The conveying mechanism 3 and the water pump 9 are both electrically connected to the control panel 14 via a switch. The control panel 14 can be used to control various parts of the device, such as the operating speed of the conveying mechanism 3 and the power of the water pump 9, thereby achieving automation and high efficiency in vegetable sorting and cleaning. The water pump 9 is preferably of the LY-JLM type and is electrically connected to an external power supply via a switch. In this vegetable sorting and cleaning device, two vertical plates 1 form the supporting structure of the entire device. The conveying mechanism 3 is located between the two vertical plates 1 and is used to convey vegetables. When vegetables are conveyed to one side of the conveying mechanism 3, they fall into the sorting frame 4 below due to gravity. Inside the sorting frame 4... Multiple sorting rollers 5 are rotatably connected, and the spacing between adjacent sorting rollers 5 is not exactly the same. Vegetables of different sizes will fall from the gaps of the corresponding spacing and then fall into the sorting box 2 located directly below the sorting frame 4. The partition 6 inside the sorting box 2 divides it into two sorting chambers 7, realizing the sorting of vegetables by size. In terms of cleaning, a water pump 9 and a water tank 15 are installed on the gate frame 8 that is fixed together at the top of the two vertical plates 1. The water pump 9 is connected to the water tank 15 through the water pump pipe 10. The water pump 9 is started by a switch to draw water out of the water tank 15. The drain pipe 11 through the drain outlet passes through the top wall of the gate frame 8 and connects to the horizontal pipe 12. The cleaning nozzles 13 distributed at equal intervals at the bottom of the horizontal pipe 12 spray water to clean the vegetables.
