Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beet cleaning technology, and in particular to a spray vegetable washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A spray washing machine is the final cleaning device in the beet washing and impurity removal process, placed after a drum washing machine or a full-water washing machine. Its function is to wash away mud, dirty water, and other debris from the surface of the beets after washing, while minimizing damage to the vegetables and sugar loss, and to remove any remaining weeds, film, and small pebbles. Effective use of a spray washing machine can reduce wear on the blades of the shredder, improve the purity of the sugar juice, reduce the ash content in waste shreds, and improve the bacterial contamination of the shredded vegetables. For example, utility model patent CN213045114U discloses a spray washing machine that uses a spray assembly to rinse the surface of the beets once, followed by a secondary cleaning using rubber wheels conveying the beets through a transmission assembly. The combination of high-pressure rinsing and friction cleaning effectively improves the cleaning effect. However, this washing machine uses staggered circular rubber wheels, which results in poor tumbling of the beets during the washing and conveying process, preventing the spray device from reaching all surfaces of the beets and thus affecting the cleaning effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned above, and to provide a spray vegetable washing machine that can improve the tumbling effect of beets during the washing and conveying process, thereby improving the washing effect of beets.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a spray vegetable washing machine, including a washing tank, and a conveying mechanism and a spray washing mechanism disposed within the washing tank. The washing tank has an inlet and an outlet at both ends, and a water tank at the bottom of the washing tank, which is connected to a wastewater treatment system. The conveying mechanism includes a first-stage conveying mechanism and a second-stage conveying mechanism, with the first-stage conveying mechanism being set at a higher height than the second-stage conveying mechanism. Both the first-stage and second-stage conveying mechanisms include multiple conveying rollers arranged parallel to each other along the conveying direction of the beets. The multiple conveying rollers are connected to a drive motor, which can drive the multiple conveying rollers to rotate synchronously. The cross-section of the conveying rollers is triangular. The spray washing mechanism includes a spray pipe disposed at the top of the washing tank and several nozzles installed on the spray pipe.

[0005] Preferably, the wastewater treatment system includes a wastewater recovery pipeline, and a tail root collection device and a wastewater processor installed on the wastewater recovery pipeline.

[0006] Preferably, the spray cleaning mechanism is connected to the wastewater treatment system.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the washing tank has multiple spray pipes arranged parallel to the beet conveying direction and connected to the main water supply pipe. The spray pipes extend perpendicular to the beet conveying direction and have multiple nozzles along their length.

[0008] Preferably, an inclined guide plate is provided between the first-stage conveying mechanism and the second-stage conveying mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-section of the conveying roller is a Reuleaux triangle.

[0010] Preferably, the conveyor roller is made of high manganese steel.

[0011] Preferably, both the inlet and outlet are equipped with water curtains.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the spray vegetable washing machine of this utility model uses a triangular cross-section conveying roller to transport beets during the washing process, which makes the beets tumble and undulate more during the transport process, thereby improving the tumbling effect of the beets during the washing and transport process. This allows the spray washing mechanism to rinse the surface of the beets from all directions, thus improving the washing effect of the beets. At the same time, the conveying mechanism is composed of a first-level conveying mechanism and a second-level conveying mechanism of different heights connected together, so that when the beets fall from the higher first-level conveying mechanism to the lower second-level conveying mechanism, they can achieve a greater tumbling amplitude, thereby further improving the tumbling effect of the beets during the transport process. In addition, the conveying rollers in each level of the conveying mechanism are driven by a drive motor to achieve synchronous rotation, ensuring that the gap between adjacent conveying rollers remains unchanged, so as to prevent large pieces of beet tails from falling through the gap between adjacent conveying rollers, and to achieve the recovery of most of the beet tails, avoiding waste of beet tails.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a spray vegetable washing machine, including a washing tank 1, and a conveying mechanism and a spray washing mechanism disposed within the washing tank 1. The washing tank 1 is rectangular, with its sides and top closed. An inlet 2 and an outlet 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the washing tank 1. A water tank 4 is provided at the bottom of the washing tank 1, and the water tank 4 is connected to a wastewater treatment system. The conveying mechanism includes a first-stage conveying mechanism 5 and a second-stage conveying mechanism 6 connected together, with the first-stage conveying mechanism 5 being set at a higher height than the second-stage conveying mechanism 6. Specifically, one end of the first-stage conveying mechanism 5 is connected to the second-stage conveying mechanism 6. One end of the conveying mechanism 6 is connected to the inlet 2, and the other end of the first-stage conveying mechanism 5 extends to the outlet 3. Both the first-stage and second-stage conveying mechanisms 5 and 6 include multiple conveying rollers 7 arranged parallel to each other along the conveying direction of the sugar beets. These multiple conveying rollers 7 are connected to a drive motor 8, which drives the multiple conveying rollers 7 to rotate synchronously. Specifically, the multiple conveying rollers 7 can be connected via gear sets or conveyor chains. The drive motor 8 is connected to one of the conveying rollers 7 via a reducer. Figure 3and Figure 4 As shown, the conveyor roller 7 used in this application is cylindrical and does not have rubber wheels on its surface. It has a simple structure. The cross-section of the conveyor roller 7 is triangular. When conveying beets, the triangular conveyor roller 7 can drive the beets to move up and down in a large range. Preferably, the cross-section of the conveyor roller 7 is a Reuleaux triangle, which makes the surface of the conveyor roller 7 composed of three arc surfaces, making the surface smoother. This reduces the impact of the conveyor roller 7 on the beets during the conveying process and reduces damage to the surface of the beets. In order to enhance the wear resistance of the surface of the conveyor roller 7, the conveyor roller 7 can be made of high manganese steel. The spray cleaning mechanism includes a spray pipe 9 set at the top of the cleaning tank 1 and several nozzles 10 installed on the spray pipe 9. The water tank 4 can collect the wastewater after spray cleaning.

[0022] This utility model discloses a spray vegetable washing machine that uses triangular cross-section conveyor rollers 7 to transport beets during the washing process. This allows the beets to tumble and undulate more during transport, thus improving the tumbling effect and enabling the spray washing mechanism to thoroughly rinse the surface of the beets, thereby enhancing the washing effect. The conveying mechanism is constructed by connecting a first-stage conveyor 5 and a second-stage conveyor 6 at different heights. This allows the beets to tumble more significantly when falling from the higher first-stage conveyor 5 to the lower second-stage conveyor 6, further improving the tumbling effect during transport. During the washing and transport process, chunks of beet root may fall off. In this application, each stage of the conveyor mechanism's conveyor rollers 7 are driven by a drive motor 8 to achieve synchronous rotation, ensuring that the gap between adjacent conveyor rollers 7 remains constant. This prevents larger pieces of beet root from falling through the gaps between adjacent conveyor rollers 7, allowing for the recovery of most of the root and avoiding waste.

[0023] In this application, the wastewater treatment system can utilize an existing structure capable of collecting and treating wastewater. Furthermore, as... Figure 2As shown, in one preferred embodiment of the wastewater treatment system, the wastewater treatment system may include a wastewater recovery pipeline 11, a tail root collection device 12 and a wastewater processor 13 installed on the wastewater recovery pipeline 11. During the washing and transportation of sugar beets, the small tail roots will flow into the water tank 4 with the wastewater. The wastewater recovery pipeline 11 passes the wastewater recovered from the water tank 4 into the tail root collection device 12, where the tail roots are filtered out for collection and utilization, thereby reducing the loss during the sugar beet washing process. The wastewater after the tail roots are recovered then flows through the wastewater recovery pipeline 11 to the wastewater processor 13 for treatment. The tail root collection device 12 used in this application can be a vibrating screen or a screening drum in the prior art. Both the tail root collection device 12 and the wastewater processor 13 used in this application adopt existing structures, so they will not be described in detail.

[0024] In order to improve the utilization rate of water resources and reduce water waste, the spray cleaning mechanism in this application is connected to the wastewater treatment system. After the wastewater is treated by the tail root collection device 12 and the wastewater processor 13, it can be directly supplied to the spray cleaning mechanism through the pump body, thereby realizing the continuous recycling and utilization of water resources.

[0025] In this application, the top of the cleaning tank 1 can be provided with multiple spray pipes 9, which are connected to the water supply main pipe 16 and arranged parallel to the beet conveying direction. The spray pipes 9 extend perpendicular to the beet conveying direction and are provided with multiple nozzles 10 along their length. By providing multiple nozzles 10 on the top of the cleaning tank 1, the cleaning effect on the beets can be improved. Preferably, the nozzles 10 can be existing high-pressure nozzles 10, thereby improving the rinsing effect on the beet surface.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment of this application, an inclined guide plate 14 is provided between the first-stage conveying mechanism 5 and the second-stage conveying mechanism 6. By providing the guide plate 14, the beets on the first-stage conveying mechanism 5 can roll down along the guide plate 14 onto the second-stage conveying mechanism 6. During the rolling process, the beets are flipped, thereby improving the tumbling effect during the beet conveying process.

[0027] In a more preferred embodiment of this application, both the inlet 2 and the outlet 3 can be provided with a water curtain 15. The water curtain can be composed of multiple curtains. By providing the water curtain, the cleaning water during the spray cleaning process can be prevented from splashing out from the inlet 2 and the outlet 3.

[0028] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
