Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grape processing technology, specifically a grape washing device for grape processing. Background Technology

[0002] Grapes are a nutritious fruit belonging to the Vitaceae family. They are generally divided into table grapes and wine grapes. Dust, pesticide residues, bloom, and microorganisms easily adhere to the surface of grapes, so they need to be thoroughly cleaned before further processing.

[0003] Utility model patent CN220402998U discloses a cleaning device for grape processing, including a support frame, a grape feeding hopper at the top rear end of the support frame, a cleaning frame installed in the middle of the inner part, a filter frame fixed to the top of the cleaning frame, a spray pipe embedded in the right end of the cleaning frame, a conveying hopper connected to the front end of the cleaning frame, and a conveying cleaning mechanism in the middle of the filter frame. This device, through the design of the conveying cleaning mechanism, utilizes a motor to drive a rotating shaft to rotate a feeding auger, achieving brushing of the grapes during the grape conveying process. Simultaneously, the grapes come into contact with ball bearings during conveying, causing the ball bearings to rotate within a receiving seat, thereby assisting in removing dust from the grape surface.

[0004] However, the existing technology uses a fixed brush spacing and rotation speed, which cannot adjust the cleaning intensity according to different grape varieties, grape sizes, and stain types. It is difficult to effectively remove stubborn impurities such as dirt, pesticide residues, and microorganisms from grapes, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Moreover, this fixed method is not suitable for grape varieties with thin skins, as the rigid contact can damage the grape skin, leading to juice loss and microbial contamination, which seriously affects the quality of subsequent processing. In addition, the existing equipment separates the cleaning and dehydration processes, requiring separate operation, which is cumbersome and time-consuming; it is difficult to meet the efficiency and automation requirements of continuous industrial production. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A grape washing device for grape processing, comprising a stirring part, a support part, and a base; the stirring part includes a stirring shaft, on which an adjustable radial extension stirring brush is slidably disposed, the stirring brush being slidably disposed on a stirring adjusting plate, the stirring adjusting plate being rotatably disposed on the stirring shaft, and a stirring fixing nut being threaded onto the stirring adjusting plate for fixing the position of the stirring adjusting plate; the support part includes a support shell, on which a support base plate is fixedly disposed, and a material discharge trough is disposed on the support base plate, the material discharge trough being detachably engaged with the support material discharge plate by bolts; the support part is rotatably disposed on the base.

[0006] Furthermore, the support housing is rotatably mounted on the base, and the support housing is connected to the output shaft of the support drive motor via a support conveyor belt. The support drive motor is fixedly mounted on the base.

[0007] Furthermore, a support filter bucket is fixedly installed inside the support shell, a rectangular filter trough is provided on the support filter bucket, and a support brush is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support filter bucket. The support brush is distributed in a circular array around the rotation center of the support filter bucket.

[0008] Furthermore, the stirring brushes are arranged in a circular array along the rotation center of the stirring shaft, the stirring shaft is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the stirring motor, and the stirring motor is fixedly mounted on the base.

[0009] Furthermore, a support drain valve is fixedly installed on the support housing, and a solenoid valve is installed inside the support drain valve to control the opening and closing of the drain channel on the support drain valve.

[0010] Furthermore, both the stirring brush and the support brush are made of food-grade polypropylene material.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are:

[0012] 1. Flexible adjustment of cleaning intensity enhances cleaning effectiveness; This invention, through the inclusion of a stirring fixing nut and stirring adjustment plate, allows operators to easily adjust the distance between the stirring brush and the supporting brush according to the different varieties, sizes, and types of stains on the grapes. Compared to the fixed brush spacing and rotation speed in existing technologies, this design can precisely match the cleaning needs of different grapes, more effectively scrubbing away stubborn impurities such as dirt, pesticide residues, and microorganisms on the grape surface, thus improving the cleaning effect and ensuring thorough cleaning of the grapes.

[0013] 2. Protecting grape skins and ensuring processing quality: For grape varieties with thin skins, existing rigid contact cleaning methods can easily damage the skin, leading to juice loss and microbial contamination. This device, however, can adjust the brush spacing during the cleaning process to provide a gentler cleaning force, avoiding damage to the grape skin and greatly reducing the risk of juice loss and microbial contamination, thus ensuring the quality of subsequent grape processing.

[0014] 3. Integrated washing and dehydration functions simplify the process; existing equipment separates the washing and dehydration stages, requiring separate operations, which is cumbersome and time-consuming. This invention innovatively integrates the washing and dehydration functions into a single device. After washing, the rotation direction of the stirring motor is controlled to make the stirring brush, grapes, and support brush rotate synchronously, using centrifugal force to achieve rapid dehydration of the grapes. This effectively simplifies the operation process, reduces the equipment footprint and operating steps, and significantly improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, a grape washing device for grape processing includes a stirring part 1, a support part 2, and a base 3; the support part 2 is rotatably mounted on the base 3, and the stirring part 1 is rotatably mounted inside the support part 2.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the stirring unit 1 includes a stirring motor 101, a stirring shaft 102, a stirring brush 103, a stirring adjusting plate 104, and a stirring fixing nut 105. The stirring shaft 102 is slidably provided with the stirring brush 103, which has an adjustable radial extension. The stirring brush 103 is slidably disposed in a rectangular adjusting groove on the stirring adjusting plate 104. The stirring adjusting plate 104 is rotatably disposed on the stirring shaft 102. The stirring fixing nut 105 is threaded onto the stirring adjusting plate 104. The stirring fixing nut 105 cooperates with the stirring shaft 102 to fix the position of the stirring adjusting plate 104. The stirring brush 103 and the supporting brush 205 are both made of food-grade polypropylene material. The stirring brush 103 is distributed in a circular array along the rotation center of the stirring shaft 102. The stirring shaft 102 is fixedly disposed on the output shaft of the stirring motor 101, and the stirring motor 101 is fixedly disposed on the base 3.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 13As shown, the support unit 2 includes a support housing 201, a support drain valve 202, a support base plate 203, a support filter bucket 204, a support brush 205, a support discharge plate 206, a support drive motor 207, and a support conveyor belt 208. The support housing 201 has a feed inlet at its top and a support base plate 203 fixedly mounted at its bottom. The support base plate 203 has a discharge trough, which is detachably connected to the support discharge plate 206 by bolts. The support discharge plate 206 has a rubber gasket that mates with the discharge trough for sealing. The support housing 201 is rotatably mounted on the base 3 and is connected to the output shaft of the support drive motor 207 via the support conveyor belt 208. The support drive motor 207 is fixedly mounted on the base 3. A supporting filter bucket 204 is fixedly installed inside the supporting shell 201. The supporting filter bucket 204 has a rectangular filter groove. Supporting brushes 205 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the supporting filter bucket 204, and the supporting brushes 205 are arranged in a circular array around the rotation center of the supporting filter bucket 204. A supporting drain valve 202 is fixedly installed on the supporting shell 201. A solenoid valve is installed inside the supporting drain valve 202 to control the opening and closing of the drain channel on the supporting drain valve 202. The stirring shaft 102 is rotatably engaged with the supporting base plate 203.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the working principle of the grape washing device for grape processing disclosed in this utility model is as follows:

[0034] First, the solenoid valve is closed. The operator then turns the stirring fixing nut 105 according to the type or quantity of grapes. The stirring fixing nut 105 rotates and gradually disengages from the stirring shaft 102. Then, the operator rotates the stirring adjusting plate 104. As the stirring adjusting plate 104 rotates, the rectangular adjusting groove on it pushes the stirring brush 103 to slide in the radial direction of the stirring shaft 102, thereby adjusting the distance between the stirring brush 103 and the supporting brush 205. This ensures that the distance between the stirring brush 103 and the supporting brush 205 is appropriate, facilitating the cleaning of stubborn stains on the surface of the grapes. After adjustment, the stirring fixing nut 105 is reset, and the stirring fixing nut 105 is once again in contact with the stirring shaft 102, fixing the position of the stirring adjusting plate 104, and thus fixing the position of the stirring brush 103 in an appropriate position.

[0035] After adjustment, grapes are fed into the support housing 201 through the feed inlet, allowing them to fall between the stirring brush 103 and the support brush 205. Water is then poured into the support housing 201 through the feed inlet. The stirring motor 101 is turned on, causing the stirring shaft 102 and the stirring brush 103 mounted on it to rotate. The rotating stirring brush 103 brushes the surface of the grapes between the stirring brush 103 and the support brush 205. Simultaneously, the support drive motor 207 is turned on. The rotation direction of the drive motor 207 is opposite to that of the stirring motor 101. The rotation of the support drive motor 207 drives the support housing 201 to rotate through the support conveyor belt 208. The rotation of the support housing 201 drives the support filter bucket 204 and the support brush 205 to rotate. Since the support brush 205 and the stirring adjustment plate 104 rotate in opposite directions, the surface of the grapes between the stirring adjustment plate 104 and the support brush 205 is thoroughly washed with water, thus achieving a thorough cleaning of impurities on the surface of the grapes.

[0036] After cleaning, the solenoid valve is opened, opening the channel inside the support drain valve 202. At this time, the water used for cleaning is discharged from this channel. Then, the rotation direction of the stirring motor 101 is controlled so that the rotation direction and speed of the stirring motor 101 are consistent with the rotation direction and speed of the support drive motor 207. At this time, the stirring brush 103, grapes, and support brush 205 are relatively stationary and rotate synchronously. At this time, the water attached to the surface of the grapes is discharged from the rectangular filter tank on the support filter bucket 204 under the action of centrifugal force, and finally discharged from the support drain valve 202, realizing the rapid dehydration of the cleaned grapes and thus drying them. Since the stirring brush 103, grapes, and support brush 205 rotate synchronously, the grapes are only affected by centrifugal force, ensuring the integrity of the grapes while achieving rapid dehydration.

[0037] After dehydration, the operator unscrews the bolts and removes the support feeding plate 206 from the support base plate 203, allowing the washed grapes to fall from the feeding trough on the support base plate 203 for collection, thus completing the entire washing process.
