Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning device for producing quinoa vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Quinoa is rich in protein (14%–22%) and essential amino acids, as well as minerals, vitamins, and dietary fiber, making it a suitable green vegetable for all groups. Because quinoa is soil-grown and small in size, it requires thorough washing during processing to remove surface dirt and impurities. Chinese patent document CN210017795U discloses a washing device for quinoa production. This device features baffles of varying lengths at the inlet, which spread the quinoa evenly, preventing blockages and improving efficiency. It also allows for water recycling, reducing waste, and after washing, a blower can be used to further reduce moisture content. However, when the quinoa is spread out on the first conveyor belt and conveyed, the bottom of the quinoa (i.e. the side that contacts the end face of the first conveyor belt) cannot come into contact with the water released by the spray head, thus failing to clean the bottom of the quinoa. It is necessary to repeatedly turn it over and clean it, which is not thorough and has low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for producing quinoa vegetables. This cleaning device can not only achieve comprehensive cleaning of quinoa vegetables in one cleaning process, avoiding the inefficiency of repeated and multiple cleanings, but also effectively save water resources and avoid resource waste.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A washing device for producing quinoa vegetables includes a washing tank, a washing assembly, and a drive assembly. The washing tank has a feed inlet on its top surface and a feed funnel around its bottom outer edge. The washing assembly, located within the washing tank's interior, includes a rotating shaft, two rotating discs, and a washing cylinder. The two rotating discs are respectively fixedly fitted onto the outer walls of the rotating shaft at both ends of the washing tank's interior, and the washing cylinder is positioned around the outer edge between the two rotating discs. The washing cylinder, the two rotating discs, and the rotating shaft are coaxial. The washing cylinder has evenly spaced filter holes and an opening on its top surface corresponding to the feed inlet. Both ends of the rotating shaft penetrate the corresponding side walls of the washing tank and connect to the drive assembly located on the outer wall of the washing tank. Vertical grooves are formed on the side walls of the washing tank corresponding to the rotating shaft.

[0006] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, an inlet and an overflow outlet are provided on one side wall of the cleaning tank and at the bottom of the corresponding vertical chute for water inlet and overflow of the cleaning tank. The overflow outlet is connected to an external circulating water tank. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of one side wall of the cleaning tank and is sealed with a sealing plug for drainage after cleaning.

[0007] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the rotating shaft is a cylindrical structure with a large diameter in the middle and small diameters at both ends, and the large diameter section in the middle is located in the inner cavity of the cleaning tank, and the large diameter section in the middle is smoothly connected to the small diameter sections at both ends.

[0008] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the drive assembly includes a lifting block, a lifting mechanism, a first gear, a second gear, and a motor drive mechanism. The lifting block is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the cleaning tank with a corresponding rotating shaft (i.e., the lifting block is slidably connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank). The two ends of the rotating shaft pass through the side walls of the corresponding lifting blocks and are rotatably connected. The lifting mechanism adopts a hydraulic telescopic rod and is mounted on the side wall of the cleaning tank with a corresponding lifting block. The output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top surface of the corresponding lifting block. The two ends of the rotating shaft and located in the inner cavity of the corresponding lifting block are respectively fitted with the first gear and the second gear, where the first gear is an incomplete gear and the second gear is a complete gear. The inner cavity of the lifting block is respectively provided with a motor drive mechanism to control the rotation of the first gear and the second gear.

[0009] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, the motor drive mechanism includes a motor, an electromagnetic clutch, a driven shaft, a rotating seat, and a drive gear. The motor is disposed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lifting block, and the rotating seat is fixedly disposed on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the lifting block and located on one side of the motor output shaft. One end of the driven shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the lifting block, and the other end passes through the rotating seat and is rotatably connected. The driven shaft is connected to the motor output shaft through an electromagnetic clutch, and the drive gear is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the driven shaft corresponding to the first gear or the second gear. The drive gear can mesh with the corresponding first gear tooth segment or the second gear.

[0010] Based on further optimization of the above scheme, limiting blocks are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft. The outer diameter of the limiting blocks is larger than the outer diameter of the small diameter section of the rotating shaft, which is used to limit the first gear and the second gear.

[0011] The following are the technical effects of this utility model:

[0012] This application, through the configuration of the drive component, can effectively control the lifting and rotation of the cleaning assembly, which consists of a rotating shaft, two rotating discs, and a cleaning cylinder. The descent of the cleaning assembly allows it to soak in the water at the bottom of the cleaning tank. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating discs and the cleaning cylinder around the central axis of the rotating shaft causes repeated shaking of the quinoa vegetables inside the cleaning cylinder. The resulting impact force and friction between the quinoa vegetables during shaking achieve comprehensive cleaning. The rising of the cleaning assembly removes the quinoa vegetables from the water at the bottom of the cleaning tank, allowing for drainage. During drainage, the rotation of the rotating shaft synchronously shakes the cleaning cylinder, further improving drainage efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, this application uses water stored in the cleaning tank for cleaning the quinoa vegetables, effectively avoiding the water waste caused by continuous spraying.

[0026] Example 3:

[0027] As another preferred embodiment of this utility model, in order to facilitate the collection of quinoa after draining, based on the above embodiment 1, a rectangular opening is provided on the back of the washing box 10 and on the upper side of the bottom end of the vertical chute 13 (e.g. Figure 1 As shown, a rectangular slot is provided in the inner cavity of the front of the washing tank 10 corresponding to the rectangular opening, and a sealing baffle 14 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the rectangular opening. The rectangular opening is opened by rotating the sealing baffle 14 outward, and then the collection plate is pushed into the inner cavity of the washing tank 10 through the rectangular opening. The collection plate is engaged in the rectangular slot, so that the collection plate is set on the lower side of the washing cylinder 23, and then the quinoa is collected after complete drainage.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] In use, firstly, the drain outlet 17 is sealed with a sealing plug, and cleaning water is introduced into the cleaning tank 10 through the water inlet 15, filling the bottom of the cleaning tank 10 with cleaning water; then, the quinoa to be cleaned is poured into the cleaning cylinder 23 through the feed inlet 11 and the feed funnel 12; next, the extension of the hydraulic telescopic rod causes the lifting block 31 to descend, which in turn drives the cleaning assembly consisting of the rotating shaft 21, the two rotating disks 22, and the cleaning cylinder 23 to descend along the vertical slide 13, immersing the lower half of the cleaning cylinder 23 in the cleaning water; then, the electromagnetic clutch 352 corresponding to the first gear 33 and the motor 35 are activated. 1. Disconnect the electromagnetic clutch 352 corresponding to the second gear from the motor 351 (i.e., drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate via the first gear 33). The reciprocating control of the motor 351 in both forward and reverse directions enables the first gear 33 to run in both forward and reverse directions. This, in turn, uses the rotating shaft 21 and the rotating disk 22 to drive the washing drum 23 to oscillate back and forth in the water, thus cleaning the quinoa. After that, stop the motor 351 corresponding to the first gear 33. The lifting block 31 and the cleaning components are raised by the retraction of the hydraulic telescopic rod, which causes the washing drum 23 to leave the water. Then, the motor 351 corresponding to the first gear 33 is restarted again and again, and the water is drained through cyclical oscillation.

[0030] After draining, a collection plate is inserted into the inner cavity of the washing tank 10 through the rectangular opening, so that the collection plate is located under the cleaning cylinder 23. Then, the electromagnetic clutch 352 and motor 351 corresponding to the second gear are activated, and the electromagnetic clutch 352 and motor 351 corresponding to the first gear 33 are disengaged, so that the washing cylinder 23 is flipped, and the quinoa vegetables in the cleaning cylinder 23 are poured onto the collection plate to complete the collection.
