Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strawberry processing technology, specifically a strawberry foreign object cleaning brush. Background Technology

[0002] Throughout the entire strawberry supply chain, from field harvesting to final shelf placement, it's extremely common for strawberries to be contaminated with foreign objects and dust. Due to the unique texture of strawberries—soft flesh and extremely thin skin—traditional cleaning methods cannot efficiently clean them while preserving their integrity. For example, the common water washing method can easily scratch and damage the strawberry skin, allowing microorganisms to enter and accelerate spoilage. This not only causes significant losses but also severely affects the appearance and taste of the strawberries, reducing their commercial value. While manual wiping can mitigate damage to some extent, it is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the time-sensitive requirements of large-scale commercial operations.

[0003] Utility model patent CN208957101U discloses a cleaning brush, which includes a brush head with bristles and a handle fixedly connected to the brush head. The brush head has an internal cavity, with one end of the bristles penetrating through the outer wall and fixed to the inner wall of the cavity. The brush head also has a liquid inlet channel for connecting an external water source to the cavity. By injecting water into the cavity, water can continuously flow to the bristles, thereby improving cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.

[0004] However, this existing technology cannot precisely control the cleaning force when dealing with special fruits like strawberries. Too much force damages the strawberries, while insufficient force results in poor cleaning. Furthermore, it struggles to flexibly control airflow and cannot target the cleaning based on the degree of dirt on the strawberry surface. These technological limitations have long created a dilemma for strawberry cleaning: how to thoroughly clean the fruit while ensuring its integrity.

[0005] Against this backdrop, developing a device that can precisely control cleaning intensity, effectively regulate airflow, and achieve efficient cleaning without damaging strawberries has become a key issue that the industry urgently needs to address. Utility Model Content

Compared to traditional cleaning methods, this significantly improves cleaning efficiency and ensures that dirt is thoroughly removed from the strawberry surface, effectively protecting the appearance and quality of the strawberries and reducing the negative impact of residual impurities on sales.

[0014] 2. Precise Control, Meeting Diverse Needs: Operators can easily adjust the size of the channel between the adjusting plug and the air intake regulating chamber by simply pressing and adjusting the sliding range of the adjusting plug according to actual cleaning needs, thereby precisely controlling the airflow. This design allows for effective control of the rotation speed of the cleaning fan blades and cleaning brush, as well as the flow rate of the air ejected from the cleaning exhaust port. Whether it is light dirt or heavy contamination, it can provide appropriate cleaning intensity to meet the diverse usage needs in different scenarios.

[0015] 3. Protects strawberries and reduces spoilage: Unlike traditional water washing, which can easily damage the strawberry skin, this cleaning brush features soft, rotating bristles that, combined with controlled airflow, clean the strawberries without harming their delicate skin. This not only effectively reduces strawberry spoilage caused by cleaning and extends their shelf life, but also preserves their taste and nutritional value, bringing significant economic benefits to all aspects of the strawberry industry chain.

[0016] 4. Reasonable structure and convenient installation: The design of mounting the compressed air cylinder on the mounting rotating ring makes operation simple and convenient. Simply align the threaded interface on the cylinder with the mounting rotating ring and rotate the ring to complete the installation. Simultaneously, the mounting rod automatically opens the cylinder's ball plug, allowing compressed air to smoothly enter the system. This reasonable structural design not only facilitates equipment assembly and maintenance but also improves ease of use and reduces the workload for operators. Attached Figure Description

The other end of the mounting push rod 108 is slidably engaged with the gas cylinder ball plug 201, which pushes the gas cylinder ball plug 201 to open the gas outlet, so that the gas in the gas cylinder 203 flows into the mounting inlet chamber 104. A mounting return spring 107 is disposed between the mounting ball plug 106 and the mounting part housing 101. An adjustment part 3 is slidably disposed in the mounting inlet adjustment chamber 103; a mounting sleeve 109 is rotatably disposed on the mounting rotating ring 105, and the middle part of the mounting sleeve 109 is a hollow structure.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the adjustment unit 3 includes an adjustment slider 301 and an adjustment spring 302. The adjustment slider 301 is slidably disposed in the mounting air intake adjustment cavity 103, and the adjustment slider 301 is disposed on the mounting housing 101 via the adjustment spring 302. A pressing head is provided on the top of the adjustment slider 301, and the middle part of the adjustment slider 301 has a conical structure. The conical structure cooperates with the inner wall of the mounting air intake adjustment cavity 103 to adjust the size of the channel between the mounting air intake cavity 104 and the mounting duct 102, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the gas flowing through the channel.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, a cleaning section 4 is fixedly installed at the other end of the mounting conduit 102. The cleaning section 4 includes a cleaning blade 401, a cleaning housing 402, a cleaning vent 403, cleaning bristles 404, a cleaning exhaust port 405, and a cleaning brush 406.

The cleaning bristles 404 are made of silicone bristles, and both the cleaning bristles 404 and the cleaning exhaust ports 405 are distributed in a circular array along the rotation center of the cleaning brush 406.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the strawberry foreign object cleaning brush disclosed in this utility model works as follows: a gas cylinder 203 containing compressed air is installed on an installation rotating ring 105. Specifically, the threaded interface on the gas cylinder 203 is aligned with the installation rotating ring 105, and then the operator rotates the installation rotating ring 105. The installation rotating ring 105 rotates to install the gas cylinder 203 into place. At this time, the installation push rod 108 pushes open the gas cylinder ball plug 201, and the compressed air in the gas cylinder 203 enters the installation air inlet chamber 104 from the gas outlet.

[0035] When cleaning strawberries, the operator brings the cleaning bristles 404 into contact with the strawberry surface. The operator presses the adjusting plug 301, which slides towards the adjusting spring 302. At this time, the channel between the mounting air inlet chamber 104 and the mounting guide tube 102 is opened. Compressed air enters the mounting air inlet regulating chamber 103 from the mounting air inlet chamber 104, and finally enters the mounting guide tube 102 through the channel between the adjusting plug 301 and the mounting air inlet regulating chamber 103. Through the mounting guide tube 102, it enters the cleaning housing 402, and finally enters the cleaning brush 406 through the cleaning vent 403 and exits through the cleaning exhaust port 406. 5. The compressed air is discharged and sprayed onto the strawberries to clean foreign objects from their surface. Simultaneously, due to the pressure of the compressed air, when the air flows through the cleaning fan blade 401, the gas drives the cleaning fan blade 401 to rotate. The rotation of the cleaning fan blade 401 drives the cleaning brush 406 and the cleaning bristles 404 to rotate. The rotating cleaning bristles 404 brush the foreign objects on the surface of the strawberries. Combined with the air sprayed from the cleaning exhaust hole 405, the surface of the strawberries is brushed while the high-speed airflow removes foreign objects, dust and other impurities from the surface of the strawberries, achieving thorough cleaning of foreign objects on the surface of the strawberries while ensuring the integrity of the strawberries.

[0036] Operators can control the size of the channel between the sliding plug 301 and the air intake regulating chamber 103 by controlling the sliding range of the sliding plug 301 according to cleaning needs. This allows them to control the airflow, the rotation speed of the cleaning fan blade 401 and the cleaning brush 406, and the flow rate of the air ejected from the cleaning exhaust hole 405. This provides convenient control and meets different usage needs.
