Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quick-frozen fruit production technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for quick-frozen fruit production. Background Technology

[0002] Frozen fruit production is an important sector within the food processing industry. It involves rapidly freezing fresh fruit to preserve its original nutrients and flavor, meeting market demand for convenient and healthy foods. Thorough cleaning of the fruit is a crucial step in the frozen fruit production process. This is because the fruit surface may harbor contaminants such as dirt, pesticide residues, and microorganisms. Failure to thoroughly clean the fruit can not only affect its taste and quality but also pose potential threats to consumers' health.

[0003] However, in the current technology of quick-frozen fruit production, the process of cleaning the fruit often presents many inconveniences. Traditional methods typically involve soaking the fruit directly in water, followed by manual or simple mechanical stirring or rubbing. However, this method is unlikely to achieve a thorough cleaning, as some stains and pesticide residues on the fruit's surface may not be removed by simple soaking and stirring. This is especially true for fruits with uneven surfaces or small crevices, such as strawberries and mulberries, which are particularly difficult to clean effectively.

[0004] Existing cleaning devices used in frozen fruit production face significant challenges, including inconvenient operation, low efficiency, and inconsistent quality. On one hand, traditional manual cleaning methods are labor-intensive and inefficient, failing to meet the demands of large-scale production. On the other hand, simple mechanical cleaning devices often cannot adapt to fruits of different shapes and materials, resulting in inconsistent cleaning effects and potentially damaging the fruit. These problems directly lead to reduced processing efficiency, increased operational complexity, and an inability to meet the demands of high-precision, large-scale production. Incomplete cleaning can also pose potential risks to the overall quality and safety of frozen fruits, as residual pesticides and contaminants may be locked inside the fruit during freezing, posing a threat to consumer health. Therefore, given the numerous shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need an innovative cleaning device for frozen fruit production to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for quick-frozen fruit production, which solves the prominent problems faced by existing cleaning devices in quick-frozen fruit production, such as inconvenient operation, low efficiency, and unstable quality. On the one hand, traditional manual cleaning methods are labor-intensive and inefficient, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production; on the other hand, simple mechanical cleaning devices often cannot adapt to fruits of different shapes and materials, resulting in inconsistent cleaning effects and even potential damage to the fruits.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning device for quick-frozen fruit production includes a frame, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the upper inner side of the frame, and a bottom rod rotatably connected to the lower inner side of the frame. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the frame by bolts, and the top end of the rotating rod passes through the top of the frame and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. A support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod, and several brush rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. An actuating disc is fixedly connected to the top end of the bottom rod. A side frame is fixedly connected to one side of the frame, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the inner side of the side frame. The top end of the connecting rod and the top end of the rotating rod are connected by a first belt, and the bottom end of the connecting rod and the bottom end of the bottom rod are connected by a second belt.

[0008] Preferably, a door is rotatably connected to the outer side of the frame via a hinge.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-5 A cleaning device for quick-frozen fruit production includes a frame 1. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the upper inner side of the frame 1, and a bottom rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower inner side of the frame 1. A drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the frame 1 by bolts. The top end of the rotating rod 10 passes through the top of the frame 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 9. Located on the upper inner side of the frame 1, the top end of the rotating rod 10 passes through the top of the frame 1 and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 9. Driven by the drive motor 9, the rotating rod 10 can rotate, thereby driving the support plate 11 and brush rods 12 connected to its bottom end to perform cleaning work. The support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 10, and several brush rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11. The bottom of the support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11. The brush on the support plate 11 contacts the surface of the fruit and effectively removes dirt, pesticide residues and microorganisms from the surface of the fruit by rotating and brushing. The top of the bottom rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom rod 13 and rotates with the bottom rod 13. The design of the agitator 14 allows the fruit to turn over during the washing process, ensuring that all surfaces of the fruit can fully contact the brush rod 12. A side frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1, and a connecting rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side frame 3. The top of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the top of the rotating rod 10 by a first belt 8, and the bottom of the connecting rod 4 is connected to the bottom of the bottom rod 13 by a second belt 7.

[0024] Furthermore, a door 2 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the frame 1 via a hinge. During the washing process, the door 2 can remain closed to ensure that the washing water does not splash out. At the same time, the door 2 can be easily opened when it is necessary to add or remove fruit. The design of the door 2 improves the ease of use of the washing device, ensures the sealing of the washing process, reduces water splashing, and also facilitates the operation of the operator to pick up and put down fruit.

[0025] Furthermore, the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 4 are respectively passed through the top and bottom of the side frame 3 via bearing sleeves. When the drive motor 9 starts, the rotating rod 10 drives the first pulley 5 at the top of the connecting rod 4 to rotate via the first belt 8, and the connecting rod 4 rotates within the side frame 3. At the same time, the second pulley 6 at the bottom of the connecting rod 4 drives the bottom rod 13 to rotate via the second belt 7. The design of the bearing sleeve makes the rotation of the connecting rod 4 smoother, reduces friction and wear, and improves the service life and stability of the cleaning device.

[0026] Furthermore, a first pulley 5 is sleeved on the top of both the connecting rod 4 and the rotating rod 10, and the two first pulleys 5 are connected by a first belt 8. When the drive motor 9 starts, the first pulley 5 at the top of the rotating rod 10 rotates, and drives the first pulley 5 at the top of the connecting rod 4 to rotate through the first belt 8, thereby realizing the rotation of the connecting rod 4. The transmission design of the first pulley 5 and the first belt 8 ensures that the rotation of the rotating rod 10 can be accurately transmitted to the connecting rod 4, thus ensuring the synchronization and coordination of the cleaning device.

[0027] Furthermore, a second pulley 6 is fitted onto the bottom end of both the connecting rod 4 and the bottom end of the base rod 13, and the two second pulleys 6 are connected by a second belt 7. During the rotation of the connecting rod 4, the second pulley 6 at its bottom end drives the second pulley 6 at the bottom end of the base rod 13 to rotate through the second belt 7, thereby realizing the rotation of the base rod 13. The transmission design of the second pulley 6 and the second belt 7 enables the rotation of the connecting rod 4 to simultaneously drive the rotation of the base rod 13, realizing the synchronous movement of the actuating disc 14 and the brush rod 12, and improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0028] Furthermore, the top end of the rotating rod 10 and the bottom end of the bottom rod 13 both pass through the top and bottom of the frame 1 respectively via bearing sleeves.

[0029] In summary:

[0030] In the process of quick-frozen fruit production, when using this cleaning device to clean the fruit, the operator first places the fruit to be cleaned into the frame 1 and adds a certain amount of water. The frame 1, as the main structure of the cleaning device, provides a reliable working environment for the entire cleaning process due to its stable design. Next, the operator closes the door 2 to ensure that water does not splash out during the cleaning process, and also to provide a closed environment for the cleaning process. After starting the drive motor 9, the output shaft of the drive motor 9 begins to rotate. This rotational power is transmitted to the rotating rod 10 through a transmission connection, causing it to rotate on the upper inner side of the frame 1. A support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 10, and several brush rods 12 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 11. As the rotating rod 10 rotates, the support plate 11 and the brush rods 12 also rotate. The brushes on the brush rods 12 contact the surface of the fruit, effectively removing contaminants such as dirt, pesticide residues, and microorganisms from the fruit surface through rotational brushing. Meanwhile, a base rod 13 is rotatably connected to the lower inner side of the frame 1, and a dial 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the base rod 13. A first pulley 5 is fitted onto the top of both the connecting rod 4 and the rotating rod 10, and the two first pulleys 5 are connected by a first belt 8. When the drive motor 9 starts, the first pulley 5 at the top of the rotating rod 10 rotates, driving the first pulley 5 at the top of the connecting rod 4 to rotate via the first belt 8, thus causing the connecting rod 4 to rotate within the side frame 3. Here, the top and bottom ends of the connecting rod 4 are respectively pierced through the top and bottom of the side frame 3 by bearing sleeves. The bearing sleeve design makes the rotation of the connecting rod 4 smoother and reduces friction and wear. A second pulley 6 is fitted onto the bottom end of both the connecting rod 4 and the base rod 13, and the two second pulleys 6 are connected by a second belt 7. During the rotation of the connecting rod 4, the second pulley 6 at its bottom end drives the second pulley 6 at the bottom end of the base rod 13 to rotate via the second belt 7, thereby achieving the rotation of the base rod 13. The rotation of the base rod 13 drives the agitator 14 to rotate, which in turn agitates the fruit inside the frame 1, causing it to tumble. This design ensures that all surfaces of the fruit can fully contact the brush rod 12, achieving a thorough cleaning. Furthermore, the top of the rotating rod 10 and the bottom of the base rod 13 are respectively connected to the top and bottom of the frame 1 via bearing sleeves. This design not only ensures stable rotation of the rotating rod 10 and the base rod 13 but also reduces noise and wear caused by friction and vibration. The drive motor 9 rotates the rotating rod 10 and the brush rod 12, achieving a thorough scrubbing of the fruit surface. The brushes on the brush rod 12 can penetrate deep into the uneven areas and small crevices of the fruit surface, effectively removing stains and pesticide residues.The design of the base rod 13 and the actuating disc 14 allows the fruit to turn over during the washing process, ensuring that all surfaces of the fruit can fully contact the brush rod 12, improving the uniformity and comprehensiveness of the washing. The design of the door 2 improves the ease of use of the washing device, ensures the sealing of the washing process, reduces water splashing, and facilitates the operator's handling of fruit. The bearing sleeve design makes the rotation of the connecting rod 4, rotating rod 10, and base rod 13 smoother, reducing friction and wear, and improving the service life and stability of the washing device. The transmission design of the first pulley 5, the first belt 8, the second pulley 6, and the second belt 7 ensures that the rotation of the rotating rod 10 is accurately transmitted to the connecting rod 4 and the base rod 13, realizing the synchronous movement of the rotating rod 10, the base rod 13, and the actuating disc 14, improving the synchronicity and coordination of the washing device, and thus improving the washing efficiency.
