Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit cleaning technology, and in particular to a pipe cleaning device for deep cleaning of oranges. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, the demand for fruit continues to increase. Oranges, as a popular fruit, are rich in nutrients such as vitamin C and fiber, and have a large consumer base in both domestic and international markets. In the orange industry chain, from orchard harvesting to market sales, the cleaning process of oranges is an important link.
[0003] Traditional orange washing methods are often quite simple, relying solely on manual rinsing or simple soaking. This method is insufficient to thoroughly remove dirt, impurities, and potential pesticide residues from the orange's surface. The orange peel has a certain degree of roughness, making it easy for various contaminants to adhere to it, such as soil and dust picked up during the orchard's growth process, as well as dirt that may have accumulated during transportation and storage. Moreover, some tightly adhering substances on the orange's surface, such as some fruit wax or tiny insects that have accumulated in the natural environment, are difficult to completely remove using conventional washing methods. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a pipe cleaning device for deep cleaning of oranges.
[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a pipe cleaning device for deep cleaning of oranges, comprising a cleaning tank, a conveying pump body fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning tank, an external pipe fixedly connected to the input end of the conveying pump body, a support base fixedly connected to the surface of the external pipe, a water supply pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the conveying pump body, a U-shaped water pipe fixedly connected to the surface of the water supply pipe, a cleaning nozzle fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped water pipe, a pipe rack fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped water pipe, a cleaning mechanism provided inside the cleaning tank, a placement frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a water recovery tank provided on the inner bottom wall of the cleaning tank.
[0006] The above technical solution achieves deep cleaning of oranges. By spraying water from the nozzles and using a sweeping mechanism to clean and turn the oranges, dirt on the surface can be effectively removed. Moreover, the water used for cleaning can be recycled, avoiding water waste.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cleaning mechanism includes a drive motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a lead screw, the surface of which is threadedly connected to a movable frame, the lower surface of which is fixedly connected to a brush roller, and both sides of the movable frame are connected to limit rods.
[0008] The above technical solution combines the sweeping action of the brush roller with the water spraying of the nozzle, greatly enhancing the cleaning effect of the oranges. The movement of the movable frame allows the oranges to constantly change positions within the placement frame, ensuring that all surfaces of the oranges can be cleaned.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the pipe rack is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0010] The above technical solutions improve the stability of the entire cleaning equipment, making the water spray direction and position of the cleaning nozzles more fixed and accurate, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the placement frame is located below the cleaning nozzle.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0013] The above technical solution ensures the normal operation of the cleaning mechanism, enabling the brush roller to clean the oranges stably, preventing the movable frame from shifting or shaking, and improving the stability of the cleaning effect.
[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the placement frame is provided with several drainage grooves, and the inner wall of the recycling water tank is provided with an activated carbon filter.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the drainage tank facilitates the timely discharge of water after cleaning, preventing water from accumulating in the placement frame and affecting the cleaning effect of oranges. The activated carbon filter helps purify the recycled water, allowing it to be reused and saving water resources.
[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the surface of the cleaning tank is hinged with a sealing cover.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0018] This invention uses a pump to drive water from an external pipe through a water supply pipe and a U-shaped water pipe to a cleaning nozzle, thereby spraying water to clean the oranges in the basket, removing surface dust and some dirt. Simultaneously, a drive motor rotates a lead screw, causing a brush roller to move linearly with the movable frame, cleaning the orange surface and pushing the oranges to tumble. The brush roller effectively removes tightly adhered stains and impurities from the orange surface, while the tumbling motion ensures that all surfaces of the oranges are sprayed with water. This dual cleaning method improves cleaning efficiency, allowing the cleaning of oranges to be completed in a shorter time, and preventing residual dirt and impurities from affecting the quality of the oranges.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0026] Example:
[0027] Please combine Figure 1-4 This embodiment of a pipe cleaning device for deep cleaning oranges includes a cleaning tank 1. A conveying pump body 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning tank 1. An external pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the input end of the conveying pump body 2. A support base 4 is fixedly connected to the surface of the external pipe 3. A water supply pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the conveying pump body 2. A U-shaped water pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water supply pipe 5. A cleaning nozzle 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped water pipe 6. A pipe rack 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the U-shaped water pipe 6. A cleaning mechanism 9 is provided inside the cleaning tank 1. A placement frame 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The inner bottom wall is equipped with a water recycling tank 12. First, the outer pipe 3 is connected to the external water pipe, and the delivery pump 2 is started. The delivery pump 2 draws water from the outer pipe 3 and then sends the water to the cleaning nozzle 7 through the water supply pipe 5 and the U-shaped water pipe 6. Since the U-shaped water pipe 6 is connected to the cleaning nozzle 7, the water will spray out from the nozzle to rinse the oranges in the placement frame 10. At the same time, the cleaning mechanism 9 starts to work. Its movement can clean the surface of the oranges and make the oranges turn over and move, so as to ensure that the oranges are sprayed with water for cleaning from all directions. The water after cleaning flows into the water recycling tank 12 through the drain trough 11 on the surface of the placement frame 10.
[0028] The cleaning mechanism 9 includes a drive motor 901, with a lead screw 902 fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 901. A movable frame 903 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 902, and a brush roller 904 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable frame 903. Limiting rods 905 pass through both sides of the movable frame 903. When the drive motor 901 starts, it drives the lead screw 902 to rotate. Since the movable frame 903 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 902, and the movable frame 903 is restricted to moving only in a straight line by the limiting rods 905 on both sides, the movable frame 903 will move in a straight line along the lead screw 902 when the lead screw 902 rotates. The brush roller 904 on the lower surface of the movable frame 903 cleans the oranges in the placement frame 10 as the movable frame 903 moves, and pushes the oranges to flip and move during the cleaning process.
[0029] The pipe rack 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 to provide support for the U-shaped water pipe 6, ensuring that the U-shaped water pipe 6 maintains a stable position during operation, thereby ensuring that the cleaning nozzle 7 can accurately spray water to clean the oranges in the placement frame 10.
[0030] The placement frame 10 is located below the cleaning nozzle 7.
[0031] The lead screw 902 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the limiting rod 905 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The lead screw 902 can rotate stably under the drive of the drive motor 901. The limiting rod 905 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the limiting rod 905 passes through both sides of the movable frame 903. When the lead screw 902 rotates, the movable frame 903 is restricted by the limiting rod 905 and can only move in a straight line along the lead screw 902, thereby ensuring that the brush roller 904 cleans the oranges according to the predetermined trajectory.
[0032] The surface of the placement frame 10 is provided with several drainage channels 11, and the inner wall of the recycling water tank 12 is provided with an activated carbon filter screen 13. During the orange washing process, water will flow into the recycling water tank 12 below through these drainage channels 11. The activated carbon filter screen 13 on the inner wall of the recycling water tank 12 filters the incoming water to remove impurities and dirt.
[0033] A sealing cover 14 is hinged to the surface of the cleaning tank 1.
[0034] The implementation principle of a pipe cleaning device for deep cleaning of oranges in this application embodiment is as follows: First, connect the external pipe 3 to the external water pipe, start the delivery pump 2, and the delivery pump 2 draws water from the external pipe 3. The water is delivered to the cleaning nozzle 7 through the water supply pipe 5 and the U-shaped water pipe 6. The cleaning nozzle 7 sprays water to rinse the oranges in the placement frame 10. At the same time, start the drive motor 901, which drives the lead screw 902 to rotate. Because the movable frame 903 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 902 and is restricted by the limiting rod 905, it can only rotate in a straight line. The movable frame 903 moves linearly along the lead screw 902. The brush roller 904 on the lower surface of the movable frame 903 moves along with it to clean the oranges in the placement frame 10 and push the oranges to flip and move so that they can be sprayed with water for cleaning from all directions. The water during the cleaning process flows into the recovery water tank 12 through the drain trough 11 on the surface of the placement frame 10. The activated carbon filter 13 on the inner wall of the recovery water tank 12 filters the water to remove impurities and dirt. After cleaning, the hinged sealing cover 14 on the surface of the cleaning tank 1 can be opened to take out the cleaned oranges.
[0035] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
