[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a casing cleaning and disinfection device, including a device shell 4, a cleaning sleeve column 3 is provided at the bottom of the inner side of the device shell 4, a device base 5 is provided at the bottom of the device shell 4, a drive support rear plate 1 is provided at the front end of the device shell 4, and a disinfection roller 2 is provided at the top inside the device shell 4.
[0023] Place the sausage casings to be processed over the cleaning cylinder 3, turn on the equipment and start the disinfection roller 2 to move the sausage casings downwards on the outer surface of the cleaning cylinder 3, and disinfect the sausage casings with ozone through friction. During the process of placing the casings over the cleaning cylinder 3, the inside of the sausage casings can be cleaned.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 The device housing 4 includes a housing body 41. The bottom end of the housing body 41 is fixedly connected to the top end of the device base 5. The front end of the housing body 41 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the drive support rear plate 1. Several water collection troughs 42 are provided on the bottom inner side of the housing body 41. The water collection troughs 42 are inverted cone-shaped. Drainage outlets 43 are provided on the bottom inner side of the water collection troughs 42.
[0025] As the external structure of the equipment, the outer shell 41 provides a stable and reliable installation base for internal components such as the cleaning sleeve column 3 and the disinfection roller 2. During the cleaning of sausage casings, a large amount of wastewater is generated. The inverted cone-shaped water collection tank 42 can effectively collect this wastewater, and the drain outlet 43 can discharge the collected wastewater from the equipment in a timely manner, avoiding the accumulation of wastewater inside the equipment and ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the cleaning process.
[0026] Please see Figure 3 The cleaning sleeve 3 includes a sleeve guide head 31, which is a hemispherical shape. Four support rods 32 are evenly fixedly connected to the bottom end of the sleeve guide head 31. The bottom ends of the support rods 32 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner side of the outer shell body 41. A cleaning net 33 is fixedly connected between every two adjacent support rods 32. The four cleaning nets 33 and the four support rods 32 are combined to form a cylinder. An internal cleaning component 34 is provided inside the cylinder formed by the four cleaning nets 33. The lower part of the outer surface of the internal cleaning component 34 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell body 41. The bottom end of the internal cleaning component 34 extends into the inside of the device base 5. A cleaning motor 35 is provided below the internal cleaning component 34. The outer surface of the cleaning motor 35 is fixedly connected to the inside of the device base 5.
[0027] Please see Figure 3 The bottom diameter of the guide head 31 is the same as the diameter of the cylinder formed by the support rod 32 and the cleaning net 33.
[0028] The operator places one end of the sausage casing onto the insertion guide head 31. The hemispherical design reduces resistance during insertion. The four support rods 32 and the cleaning net 33 together form a cylindrical structure. The support rods 32 can support this cylinder. After the sausage casing is placed on this cylindrical structure, the internal cleaning component 34 can clean the inside of the sausage casing through the cleaning net 33. When the cleaning motor 35 is running, it will drive the internal cleaning component 34 connected to it to run, so that the internal cleaning component 34 can perform the cleaning operation on the sausage casing.
[0029] Please see Figure 4 The internal cleaning assembly 34 includes a water injection pipe 347. A water injection interface 348 communicating with the interior is provided on the left side of the outer surface of the water injection pipe 347. The outer surface of the water injection pipe 347 is fixedly connected to the inside of the device base 5. The top end of the water injection pipe 347 extends to the bottom of the inner side of the outer shell 41. A cleaning rotating column 341 is rotatably connected to the top end of the water injection pipe 347. The top end of the cleaning rotating column 341 extends to below the bottom end of the sleeved guide head 31. A plurality of cleaning brushes 343 are evenly fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning rotating column 341. Between every two adjacent cleaning brushes 343, a plurality of cleaning brushes 343 are evenly fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cleaning rotating column 341. The system has several vertically arranged cleaning nozzles 342, which are connected to a water injection pipe 347 via a cleaning rotating column 341. A support rotating disk 344 is fixedly connected to the lower inner side of the cleaning rotating column 341. The support rotating disk 344 has several vertically penetrating water inlets 345. A rotating shaft 346 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the support rotating disk 344. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 346 extends to the outer side of the bottom end of the water injection pipe 347. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 346 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cleaning motor 35. The inner side of the bottom end of the water injection pipe 347 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 346.
[0030] Water enters the water inlet 347 through the water inlet 348. The water inlet 348 is connected to an external water source to provide water flow for the entire cleaning process. After the cleaning motor 35 starts, it drives the rotating shaft 346 to rotate, causing the supporting rotating disk 344 and the cleaning rotating column 341 to rotate synchronously. When the cleaning rotating column 341 rotates, the cleaning brushes 343 evenly distributed on it begin to physically scrub the inside of the casing that is sleeved outside the cleaning sleeve column 3. At the same time as the cleaning rotating column 341 rotates, the water in the water inlet 347 is sprayed out through the cleaning spray nozzle 342. The water flow and the cleaning brushes 343 work together to further wash away the impurities brushed off, and at the same time thoroughly rinse the inside of the casing to ensure that the impurities are effectively removed.
[0031] Please see Figure 5The disinfection roller 2 includes two parallel friction sleeve rollers 21, which are located on the left and right sides of the cleaning sleeve column 3, respectively. The rear end of the friction sleeve roller 21 is rotatably connected to the inner rear end of the outer shell body 41. The front end of the friction sleeve roller 21 is fixedly connected to an interface shaft 24, which extends to the outer side of the front end of the outer shell body 41 inside the device base 5. The outer surface of the interface shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer shell body 41. A transmission gear 23 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer surface of the interface shaft 24, and the two transmission gears 23 mesh with each other. Several ozone disinfection ports 22 are opened on the front and rear sides of the outer surface of the right friction sleeve roller 21. An ozone interface 25 is provided at the front end of the right interface shaft 24, which communicates with the right ozone disinfection port 22. A drive motor is provided at the front end of the left interface shaft 24.
[0032] The drive motor at the front end of the left interface shaft 24 starts, and the rotation of the drive motor drives the left interface shaft 24 to rotate. Since the two transmission gears 23 mesh with each other, the rotation of the left transmission gear 23 will drive the right transmission gear 23 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the right interface shaft 24 to rotate as well. In this way, the two interface shafts 24 will synchronously drive the friction sleeve rollers 21 connected to them to rotate relative to each other. The rotating friction sleeve rollers 21 will generate friction with the casing, so that the casing can move up and down according to the direction of rotation, so that the casing can be thoroughly cleaned by the cleaning sleeve column 3.
[0033] Ozone enters through the ozone port 25 at the front end of the right interface shaft 24. Since the ozone port 25 is connected to the ozone disinfection port 22 on the right side, the ozone will reach the ozone disinfection port 22 on the outer surface of the right friction sleeve roller 21 through these channels. When the casing moves between the two friction sleeve rollers 21, the ozone sprayed from the ozone disinfection port 22 will diffuse around the casing, disinfecting the casing in all directions, killing the microorganisms remaining on the surface of the casing, and ensuring the hygiene quality of the casing.
[0034] Please see Figure 1-5 During operation, the equipment is first connected to the power supply, the water inlet 348 is connected to an external water source, and the ozone inlet 25 is connected to an ozone source. The operator puts one end of the sausage casing onto the sleeve guide head 31, starts the drive motor at the front end of the left interface shaft 24, drives the friction sleeve roller 21 to rotate, and pushes the sausage casing downward. At the same time, the cleaning motor 35 is started, and water flows into the water inlet pipe 347 from the water inlet 348. The cleaning rotating column 341 rotates, the cleaning brush 343 scrubs the inside of the sausage casing, and the cleaning spray nozzle 342 sprays water to rinse. The sewage is discharged through the water collection tank 42 and the drain outlet 43 so that it is thoroughly cleaned by the cleaning sleeve column 3. At the same time, ozone enters from the ozone inlet 25 and is sprayed out through the ozone disinfection outlet 22 to disinfect the sausage casing. After cleaning, the reverse control drive motor pushes out the cleaned sausage casing.
