Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing and packaging industry, and more specifically, it relates to a food outer packaging cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing and packaging industry, the cleanliness of outer packaging is directly related to the hygiene and safety of the product and its market image. Currently, most food outer packaging is still cleaned using the traditional water spraying method. This method has the problem of difficulty in controlling the amount of water used. In actual production, different types of packaging materials and sizes require different cleaning intensities, but existing equipment often can only provide a fixed water flow intensity and cannot be adjusted according to actual needs. This not only wastes water resources, but may also damage the packaging due to excessive water pressure or affect the cleaning effect due to insufficient water pressure.

[0003] With the food industry's increasing demands for cleaning processes and growing awareness of environmental protection and energy conservation, the limitations of traditional cleaning equipment are becoming increasingly apparent. Existing equipment lacks precise water volume control devices, making it impossible for operators to effectively adjust parameters for different batches of products. This not only reduces production efficiency but also increases the risk of packaging damage and water consumption. Especially for packaging made of special materials, such as fragile paper packaging or elaborately printed packaging, the inability to precisely control the spray intensity can easily lead to packaging deformation or blurred printing patterns, directly impacting the product's market competitiveness.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-5A food packaging cleaning device includes a mounting shell 1, on which a spraying mechanism is provided. The spraying mechanism includes a connecting pipe 2, an inlet pipe 3, a diverter pipe 4, and a flow control mechanism. The connecting pipe 2 is installed on the outside of the mounting shell 1. Multiple sets of inlet pipes 3 are connected to the top surface of the mounting shell 1. The diverter pipe 4 is connected to multiple sets of inlet pipes 3 respectively. The flow control mechanism includes a control sleeve 5, a flow control block 6, a through hole 7, a fixed pipe 8, a rotating sleeve 9, a sliding sleeve 10, a central rod 11, a pusher 12, and a transmission sleeve 13. The control sleeve 5 is connected to the diverter pipe 4. Multiple sets of flow control blocks 6 are provided and slide inside the control sleeve 5. Multiple sets of through holes 7 are provided and distributed on multiple sets of flow control blocks 6. The fixed pipe 8 is installed at the top of the connecting pipe 2. The rotating sleeve 9 rotatably connects the control sleeve 5 and the fixed pipe 8. The sliding sleeve 10 is installed inside the rotating sleeve 9. The central rod 11 slides inside the sliding sleeve 10. The pusher sleeve is installed at the top of the central rod 11. The transmission sleeve 13 is installed on the outside of the pusher 12 and is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the control sleeve 5.

[0030] Connecting pipe 2 is connected to an external water supply device. Through this connection, the external water supply device can continuously and stably deliver cleaning water to connecting pipe 2, ensuring the water supply for the entire cleaning system.

[0031] Multiple sets of flow control blocks 6 are equipped with push springs 14 on their outer sides. The top of each set of push springs 14 is connected to the inner wall of the control sleeve 5. The push springs 14 provide elastic support for the flow control blocks 6, enabling the flow control blocks 6 to move when subjected to force and automatically return to their original position after the force disappears, thereby achieving precise regulation of the water flow in the control sleeve 5.

[0032] The control sleeve 5 is equipped with a guide plate 15. The guide plate 15 has multiple sets that are slidably connected to multiple sets of flow control blocks 6. The guide plate 15 provides a motion trajectory for the flow control blocks 6, ensuring that the flow control blocks 6 move along a predetermined path during the adjustment process and avoids deviation.

[0033] The center rod 11 is configured as a polygon and is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 10. The polygonal design prevents the center rod 11 from rotating when it slides within the sliding sleeve 10, thus ensuring the stability and accuracy of the transmission system.

[0034] In this embodiment, the external water supply device supplies water to the system through the connecting pipe 2, the water flows into the multi-component distribution pipe 4 through the connecting pipe 2, and then is uniformly distributed through the distribution pipe 4, the distribution pipe 4 guides the water flow into the inlet pipe 3, and then sprays into the installation shell 1, ensuring that the cleaning water can uniformly cover the entire working area. The design of this multi-point distribution ensures the comprehensiveness of the cleaning process and avoids the generation of cleaning dead angles. When it is necessary to adjust the water flow, the rotating sleeve 9 drives the central rod 11 to rotate, the central rod 11 drives the push bracket 12 to rotate, the push bracket 12 drives the transmission sleeve 13 to rotate, and the push bracket 12 moves up and down through threaded connection, the push bracket 12 drives the sliding sleeve 10 to move through the central rod 11. Since the central rod 11 is designed in a polygonal shape, the precise sliding between the central rod 11 and the sliding sleeve 10 is ensured. The flow control block 6 remains in a contracted state under the action of the push spring 14. When it is necessary to expand the water flow, the push bracket 12 moves upward to push the multiple flow control blocks 6 to gradually expand outward under the guidance of the guide plate 15, and the water flow is accurately controlled through the opening and closing degree of the multiple through holes 7.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 As an embodiment of the conveying mechanism: the conveying mechanism is arranged in the installation shell 1, and comprises a conveying roller 16, a motor 17, a driving wheel 18, a driven wheel 19 and a transmission belt 20. The conveying roller 16 is arranged in multiple groups and rotatably arranged in the installation shell 1. The motor 17 is arranged outside the installation shell 1 and connected with the conveying roller 16 at the extending end. The driving wheel 18 and the driven wheel 19 are arranged at one end of the two groups of conveying rollers 16, respectively. The transmission belt 20 is arranged outside the driving wheel 18 and the driven wheel 19.

[0036] The installation shell 1 is provided with an inlet hopper 21 at the top end. The tapered structure of the inlet hopper 21 guides the packaging to be cleaned to enter the equipment stably, preventing jamming during the feeding process.

[0037] The installation shell 1 is provided with a discharge hopper 22 at the bottom end. The discharge hopper 22 is provided with a guide plate 23 inside. The design of the discharge hopper 22 cooperating with the guide plate 23 enables the cleaned packaging to be smoothly discharged along the predetermined path, avoiding accumulation or damage during the discharging process.

[0038] More specifically, the motor 17 drives one of the conveying rollers 16 to rotate, and through the cooperation of the driving wheel 18, the driven wheel 19 and the transmission belt 20, the other conveying rollers 16 are driven to rotate synchronously. The food packaging enters the equipment through the inlet hopper 21 and moves uniformly under the conveying of the multiple conveying rollers 16, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning process, and finally is discharged through the discharge hopper 22. The arrangement of the guide plate 23 ensures the smooth output of the product.

[0039] In summary, when the whole device is in use or operation: the external water supply device supplies water to the system through the connecting pipe 2, the water flows into the multi-component distribution pipe 4 through the connecting pipe 2, and then is evenly distributed through the distribution pipe 4, the distribution pipe 4 guides the water flow into the inlet pipe 3, and then sprays into the installation shell 1, ensuring that the cleaning water can evenly cover the entire working area. This multi-point distribution design ensures the comprehensiveness of the cleaning process and avoids the generation of cleaning dead angles. When the water flow needs to be adjusted, the rotating sleeve 9 drives the central rod 11 to rotate, the central rod 11 drives the push bracket 12 to rotate, the push bracket 12 drives the transmission sleeve 13 to rotate, and the push bracket 12 moves up and down through the threaded connection, the push bracket 12 drives the sliding sleeve 10 to move through the central rod 11. Because the central rod 11 is designed in a polygonal shape, accurate sliding between the sliding sleeve 10 and the central rod 11 is ensured. The flow control block 6 remains in a contracted state under the action of the push spring 14. When the water flow needs to be expanded, the push bracket 12 moves upward to push the multiple flow control blocks 6 to gradually expand outward under the guidance of the guide plate 15, and the water flow size is accurately controlled through the opening and closing degree of the multiple through holes 7.

[0040] The motor 17 drives one set of conveying rollers 16 to rotate, and through the cooperation of the driving wheel 18, the driven wheel 19 and the transmission belt 20, the other conveying rollers 16 are driven to rotate synchronously. The food packaging is evenly moved through the conveying of the multiple conveying rollers 16 after entering the device through the inlet hopper 21, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning process, and finally discharged through the discharge hopper 22. The guide plate 23 ensures smooth output of the product.

[0041] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between the two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut cooperation connection, bolt or screw connection or other known connection methods, which will not be repeated here. In the above, whenever there is a fixed connection, welding is preferred, although embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, those skilled in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, replacements and modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
