Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a pepper washing and drying device, which mainly includes a housing 1, providing stable support and protection for the entire device. A washing chamber 2 is located inside the left side of the housing 1, serving as the main area for washing the peppers. A fixed box 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the housing 1, providing space for the installation and protection of some components of the device. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the inner rear wall of the fixed box 3, acting as the power source for the entire washing and drying process. A rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 4, transmitting power. One rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating rod 5, typically circular or other suitable shapes, used to drive the movement of subsequent components. A fixed rod 7 is fixedly connected to the front of the rotating plate 6, further enhancing the connection stability between the two rotating plates 6. Another rotating plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed rod 7. This structural design allows the rotating rod 5 to more stably drive the rotating plate 6 to rotate.
[0033] Two sleeve columns 8 are fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the cleaning chamber 2. The sleeve columns 8 are typically hollow cylindrical structures with a certain degree of strength and stability. Square columns 9 are slidably connected inside the sleeve columns 8, allowing them to slide up and down within the sleeve columns 8 to achieve specific motion functions. Connecting blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two square columns 9, serving to connect and transmit motion. An inner cavity 11 is formed inside the connecting blocks 10. A connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting blocks 10, providing support and connection for the cleaning chamber 13. The cleaning chamber 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 12. The cleaning chamber 13 is a container for holding and cleaning the peppercorns, typically having suitable dimensions and structure to ensure thorough cleaning of the peppercorns.
[0034] Reference Figures 3 to 5 A drive sprocket 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 5, and the drive sprocket 14 rotates by the rotation rod 5. A chain 15 is sleeved on the outside of the drive sprocket 14, and the chain 15 transmits power from the drive sprocket 14 to other related components. A screening assembly for uniformly drying peppercorns is rotatably connected to the inside right side of the housing 1. The screening assembly can screen the washed peppercorns and achieve uniform drying during the screening process, improving the drying quality and efficiency of the peppercorns. The screening assembly plays a crucial role in the peppercorn washing and drying equipment. This screening assembly mainly includes a drive rod 16, which is rotatably connected to the outside of the right side of the housing 1. This connection method ensures that the drive rod 16 can rotate stably within the housing 1. A drive gear 17 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the drive rod 16, and the drive gear 17 can effectively mesh with other gears. A driven sprocket 18 is also fixedly connected to the outside of the drive gear 17, and the driven sprocket 18 provides a connection point for the chain 15 transmission.
[0035] A driven rod 20 is rotatably connected to the inside of the right side of the housing 1. The driven rod 20 cooperates with the driving rod 16 to complete the relevant actions in the sieving and drying process. A driven gear 19 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the driven rod 20, and the driven gear 19 is meshed with the external side of the driving gear 17. This meshing connection means that when the driving gear 17 rotates, it can drive the driven gear 19 to rotate accordingly, thereby realizing the rotation of the driven rod 20. A drying chamber 27 is opened inside the right side of the housing 1, which is the main place for drying peppercorns. Multiple baffles 21 are fixedly connected to the outside of the driven rod 20, and multiple baffles 21 are also fixedly connected to the outside of the driving rod 16. These baffles 21 serve to sieve the peppercorns, classifying them according to their size.
[0036] Reference Figures 3 to 5Support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the top of the drying chamber 27, providing support and guidance for subsequent components. Drying plates 23 are slidably connected to the outside of the multiple support rods 22. The drying plates 23 are used to place smaller peppercorn particles after sieving for drying. Screen plates 24 are slidably connected to the outside of the multiple support rods 22. The screen plates 24 are used to place the washed peppercorns, and their vibration achieves preliminary sieving of the peppercorns. Fixing plates 25 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the support rods 22, serving to fix the springs 26. Springs 26 are fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plates 25, providing cushioning and vibration power during sieving and drying. The right side of the chain 15 is internally sleeved on the outside of the driven sprocket 18. Through the transmission of the chain 15, the power of the motor 4 can be transmitted to the driven sprocket 18, thereby driving the drive rod 16 to rotate. The driven rod 20 is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the right side of the housing 1, ensuring that the driven rod 20 can rotate stably within the housing 1. The front side of the driving rod 16 is rotatably connected to the front inner wall of the drying chamber 27, and the front side of the driven rod 20 is rotatably connected to the front inner wall of the drying chamber 27. This connection method allows the driving rod 16 and the driven rod 20 to rotate stably within the drying chamber 27, thereby driving the baffle 21 to perform the action of sieving and pushing the peppercorns.
[0037] The outer side of the top baffle 21 contacts the top of the sieve plate 24. When the driving rod 16 and the driven rod 20 rotate, the baffle 21 can push the sieve plate 24 to vibrate, thereby achieving the sieving of peppercorns. The outer side of the bottom baffle 21 contacts the top of the drying plate 23, which can also push the drying plate 23 to vibrate, so that the peppercorns can be heated evenly during the drying process. The outer side of the sieve plate 24 is slidably connected to the top of the inner wall of the drying chamber 27, and the outer side of the drying plate 23 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the drying chamber 27. This sliding connection allows the sieve plate 24 and the drying plate 23 to vibrate to a certain extent in the drying chamber 27, thereby improving the sieving and drying effect. The outer side of the fixed rod 7 contacts the inner wall of the connecting block 10, ensuring that the fixed rod 7 can stably drive the connecting block 10 to move. The front side of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the front inner wall of the washing chamber 2, ensuring that the rotating rod 5 can rotate stably in the washing chamber 2. The top of the top spring 26 is fixedly connected to the four bottom corners of the screen plate 24, and the top of the bottom spring 26 is fixedly connected to the four bottom corners of the screen plate 24. This connection method of the springs 26 can provide an upward elastic force to the screen plate 24, enabling it to vibrate effectively under the push of the stop rod 21. The rear side of the driving rod 16 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the fixed box 3, and the rear side of the driven rod 20 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall of the fixed box 3. This connection method further enhances the stability of the driving rod 16 and the driven rod 20.
[0038] Working principle: Clean water is injected into the cleaning chamber 2. By starting the motor 4, the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 6 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the fixed rod 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting block 10 to move. This, in turn, drives the connecting frame 12 to move, which in turn drives the cleaning box 13 to move up and down. Under the impact of the water flow, the peppercorns are cleaned, effectively removing dust, dirt, leaves, and other impurities from their surface. This makes the peppercorns cleaner and more hygienic, improving their appearance and reducing unpleasant taste and potential food safety risks caused by impurities.
[0039] The cleaned peppercorns are placed on the sieve plate 24. The rotation of the rotating rod 5 causes the drive sprocket 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the chain 15. The chain 15 then drives the driven sprocket 18, which in turn drives the drive rod 16, which in turn drives the drive gear 17, which in turn drives the driven gear 19. The driven gear 19 then drives the driven rod 20, which in turn moves the stop rod 21. Under the action of the stop rod 21, smaller peppercorns fall onto the drying plate 23. The vibration of the sieve plate 24 and the drying plate 23 causes the peppercorns to tumble, achieving uniform drying and ensuring that each peppercorn is fully dried, thereby improving the overall drying quality.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
