Description

Raw material cleaning equipment for fruit and vegetable juice processing Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit and vegetable juice production and processing technology, specifically a raw material cleaning device for fruit and vegetable juice processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the fruit and vegetable juice processing industry, the quality of raw material cleaning directly affects the quality and safety of the juice. As consumers increasingly demand higher quality fruit and vegetable juice products, they are placing stricter standards on the cleaning of raw materials.

[0003] Currently, most fruit and vegetable raw material cleaning devices on the market use simple soaking or spraying methods. These traditional cleaning devices have many problems. For example, soaking makes it difficult to fully agitate the raw materials, easily leading to incomplete cleaning and failing to effectively remove pesticide residues, dirt, and other impurities from the surface of some fruits and vegetables. While spraying can improve the cleaning effect to some extent, it consumes a large amount of water, resulting in serious water waste. Furthermore, the cleaned fruits and vegetables are prone to re-wetting during transportation, increasing the difficulty and cost of subsequent dehydration. At the same time, most traditional devices lack a cleaning solution recycling function, which not only wastes resources but also increases wastewater treatment costs. Therefore, developing a high-efficiency, water-saving, and effective cleaning device for fruit and vegetable juice processing that can effectively dehydrate the cleaned raw materials has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a raw material cleaning device for fruit and vegetable juice processing. It aims to solve the technical problems of traditional fruit and vegetable raw material cleaning devices, such as incomplete cleaning, large water consumption, lack of cleaning liquid recycling function, and easy re-wetting of raw materials after cleaning and difficulty in dehydration, so as to achieve the purpose of efficient, water-saving, high-quality cleaning and effective dehydration.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a raw material cleaning device for fruit and vegetable juice processing, including a cleaning tank, one end of which is a sloping surface, a pressing conveyor belt is provided in the cleaning tank, a feeding plate is provided on the belt surface of the pressing conveyor belt, and the lower belt surface of the pressing conveyor belt is below the level of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank.

[0042] The raw material cleaning device for fruit and vegetable juice processing disclosed in this utility model has the following cleaning process:

[0043] (1) Feeding process

[0044] The feeding belt 3, located above one end of the washing tank 1, continuously transports the fruits and vegetables to be washed into the washing tank 1. The fruits and vegetables slide down the feeding belt 3 onto the liquid surface at the input end of the pressing conveyor belt 2 inside the washing tank 1 and float to the surface.

[0045] (2) Cleaning process

[0046] A feeding plate 201 is provided on the surface of the pressing conveyor belt 2, and the lower surface of the belt is below the level of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1. When the pressing conveyor belt 2 operates, the feeding plate 201 moves the fruit and vegetable raw materials in the cleaning liquid, thoroughly cleaning them. At the same time, the ultrasonic cleaning probe 5 installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 emits ultrasonic waves. Utilizing the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves, the cleaning effect is further enhanced, effectively removing pesticide residues, dirt, and other impurities from the surface of the fruits and vegetables, achieving deep cleaning. In addition, a cleaning water circulation pipe 6 is provided between the two ends of the cleaning tank 1.

The cleaning water in the cleaning water circulation pipe 6 enters from the opening of the cleaning water circulation pipe 6 at the vertical end of the cleaning tank 1 and exits from the opening of the cleaning water circulation pipe 6 at the sloping end of the cleaning tank 1. The circulation pump 7 drives the cleaning water to circulate, making the cleaning liquid form moving water, reducing the accumulation of dirt in a single area, improving cleaning efficiency, and realizing the recycling of the cleaning liquid, reducing water waste. An overflow pipe 16 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. Its height is higher than the lower belt surface of the pressing conveyor belt 2 and lower than the upper belt surface of the pressing conveyor belt 2. When there is too much cleaning liquid, it can be discharged through the overflow pipe 16 to ensure the stability of the cleaning liquid level in the cleaning tank 1.

[0047] (3) Transport and Transition Links

[0048] One end of the washing tank 1 is a slope. The pressing conveyor belt 2 transports the washed fruits and vegetables to the slope end of the washing tank 1. At this time, the receiving belt 4 receives the fruits and vegetables from the pressing conveyor belt 2. The receiving belt 4 is inclined and has a catch plate 401 on its surface. The catch plate 401 can prevent the fruits and vegetables from slipping during the conveying process, ensuring that the washed fruits and vegetables are smoothly transported to the outside of the slope end of the washing tank 1. The transmission roller at one end of the pressing conveyor belt 2 and the higher end of the receiving belt 4 are driven by the transmission belt to ensure the coordination of their operation.
