Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food production technology, specifically a food raw material cleaning device for food production. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, people are paying increasing attention to food safety. Cleaning, as a crucial step in food processing, directly affects the hygienic quality of food. Effective cleaning can remove harmful substances such as pesticide residues, microorganisms, and heavy metals, protecting consumer health. Industrialized food production demands efficient and standardized cleaning processes. Traditional manual cleaning methods, due to their high cost, low efficiency, and difficulty in maintaining consistent quality, cannot meet the needs of large-scale production. Therefore, there is a need to develop automated and continuous cleaning technologies and equipment to improve production efficiency and product quality stability. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution:

[0021] A food raw material cleaning device for food production includes a housing 1, four support feet 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1, a feed inlet on the top of the housing 1, a water outlet on the bottom inside the housing 1, two internal toothed rings 3 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, a sliding groove between the two internal toothed rings 3 on the side of the housing 1, and a centrifugal cleaning mechanism inside the housing 1. The centrifugal cleaning mechanism includes a motor 4 fixedly connected to the bottom inside the housing 1, a feed box 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, eight feed ports on the side of the feed box 5, and a brush pipe cleaning mechanism at each of the eight feed ports on the side of the feed box 5.

[0022] Specifically, the food to be cleaned and the cleaning water are placed in the feed box 5, the centrifugal cleaning mechanism can clean the food, and the wastewater can be discharged through the outlet hole.

[0023] The brush pipe cleaning mechanism includes two conveyor plates 6 fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the feed inlet. The other ends of the two conveyor plates 6 are slidably connected to a sliding groove. Two fixing plates 7 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the two conveyor plates 6 near the feed box 5. Two outer shells 8 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the two conveyor plates 6 away from the feed box 5. A rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected between each pair of fixing plates 7 and the outer shell 8. Brush wheels 10 are coaxially fixedly connected to both rotating shafts 19. A gear transmission mechanism is installed inside each of the two outer shells 28. The gear transmission mechanism includes a bevel gear 11 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 19. The top of one side of the outer shell 28 rotates... A rotating shaft 12 is movably connected to the bottom of the outer casing 8 on the other side, and a rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer casing 8. A bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 12 inside the outer casing 8, and the bevel gear 14 meshes with the bevel gear 11. A spur gear 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 12 outside the outer casing 8, and the spur gear 15 meshes with the internal gear ring 3. A bevel gear 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 13 inside the outer casing 8, and the bevel gear 16 meshes with the bevel gear 11. A spur gear 17 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 13 outside the outer casing 8, and the spur gear 17 meshes with the internal gear ring 3.

[0024] Specifically, the motor 4 is started, causing the feed box 5, which is fixedly connected to the motor output end, to rotate. Since the conveyor plate 6 is fixedly connected to the feed box 5, the cleaning pipe formed by the conveyor plate 6 and the brush wheel 10 rotates simultaneously. The food to be cleaned in the feed box 5 passes through the feed port into the cleaning pipe due to centrifugal force and moves centrifugally along the pipe. Due to the presence of the gear transmission mechanism, the spur gear 15 and spur gear 17 meshing with the internal gear ring 3 rotate to transmit power to the brush wheel 10, so that the brush wheels 10 on both sides of the conveyor plate 6 rotate simultaneously during the movement of the food to complete the cleaning work of the food. Furthermore, the bevel gear 14 and bevel gear 16 meshing with the bevel gear 11 are in opposite directions, so that the brush wheels 10 on both sides of the conveyor plate 6 rotate in opposite directions, ensuring the stability of the food moving in the pipe. After being cleaned, the food is discharged through the discharge port.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0026] First, place the food to be cleaned and the cleaning water into the feed box 5. The centrifugal cleaning mechanism can clean the food, and the wastewater can be discharged through the outlet.

[0027] Next, the motor 4 is started, causing the feed box 5, which is fixedly connected to the motor output end, to rotate. Since the conveyor plate 6 is fixedly connected to the feed box 5, the cleaning pipe formed by the conveyor plate 6 and the brush wheel 10 rotates simultaneously. The food to be cleaned in the feed box 5 passes through the feed port into the cleaning pipe due to centrifugal force and moves centrifugally along the pipe. Due to the presence of the gear transmission mechanism, the spur gear 15 and spur gear 17 meshing with the internal gear ring 3 rotate to transmit power to the brush wheel 10, so that the brush wheels 10 on both sides of the conveyor plate 6 rotate simultaneously during the movement of the food to complete the cleaning work of the food. In addition, the bevel gear 14 and bevel gear 16 meshing with the bevel gear 11 are in opposite directions, so that the brush wheels 10 on both sides of the conveyor plate 6 rotate in opposite directions, ensuring the stability of the food moving in the pipe. After being cleaned, the food is discharged through the discharge port.

[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
