[0027] Pallet. Detailed Implementation

[0028] 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.

[0029] Referring to Figures 1-3, one embodiment of this utility model provides a vegetable cleaning device for vegetable product production, including a cleaning chamber 1. A drain pipe 2 is fixedly connected to and passes through the left end of the cleaning chamber 1. A water tank 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the front end of the cleaning chamber 1. A drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 1. The drive end of the drive motor 12 is connected to a connecting frame 16 and a transmission rod 15 through a cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly includes a bevel gear 13 fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 12. A bevel gear 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of both the connecting frame 16 and the transmission rod 15. The bevel gear 14 and the bevel gear 13 are meshed together. Figure 4 A connecting ring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting frame 16. Spray heads 11 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting ring 10 and pass through it. A water pump 5 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the water tank 3. A delivery pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the water pump 5. A fixed platform 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the delivery pipe 4. The bottom end of the connecting ring 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed platform 9.

[0030] Specifically: In the operation of the vegetable washing device used in vegetable product production, the operator first needs to rotate the fixing bolt 18 located at the top of the vegetable bin 6 counterclockwise to activate the closed door 8 linked to it.

[0031] The slide rail is moved laterally to open, allowing vegetables to be washed in batches to be placed into the material storage chamber of vegetable compartment 6. After loading, the fixing bolt 18 is tightened clockwise to drive the closed door 8 back to its original position, ensuring that its sealing surface is tightly fitted with the flange of the vegetable compartment 6 to prevent liquid leakage during subsequent cleaning operations. Next, the tapered positioning head at the bottom of the support column 21 is precisely inserted into the pre-set cross-shaped engagement groove at the end of the transmission rod 15 to achieve axial centering and locking of the power transmission component. At this time, the operator rotates the screw 7 clockwise, and the trapezoidal thread on its surface drives the moving plate 19 to move linearly inward along the guide rail. The moving plate 19 forms a lever-type linkage mechanism with the hinged support plate 20 and support plate 22, converting the longitudinal displacement into a lateral expansion force, which pushes the two sets of symmetrically distributed clamping plates 23 to move outward synchronously. When the wedge-shaped locking tongue at the end of the card plate 23 is fully embedded in the dovetail-shaped positioning groove of the slide frame 17, the vegetable bin 6 is rigidly connected to the mounting base of the washing bin 1 through the multi-point mechanical locking mechanism. This design can not only ensure the structural stability of the washing bin 1 during high-speed rotation and dehydration, but also avoid bin displacement caused by vibration, significantly improving the operating safety factor and vegetable washing efficiency of the equipment.

[0032] Referring to Figures 5 and 6, a slide frame 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission rod 15. The inner wall of the slide frame 17 is connected to the vegetable compartment 6 via an installation assembly. A closing door 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the vegetable compartment 6. A screw 7 is rotatably connected to the top of the vegetable compartment 6. The installation assembly includes a support column 21 rotatably connected to the bottom of the screw 7. A matching groove is provided at the top of the transmission rod 15. The matching groove at the bottom of the support column 21 is matched with the matching groove at the connecting frame 16. A movable piece 19 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the screw 7. A support plate 20 is rotatably connected to all four sides of the outer wall of the movable piece 19. A support plate 22 is rotatably connected to the top and bottom of all four sides of the outer wall of the support column 21. A clamping plate 23 is rotatably connected to the opposite end of the support plate 22. The opposite end of the clamping plate 23 is rotatably connected to the opposite end of the support plate 20. A fixing bolt 18 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the closing door 8. The fixing bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the vegetable compartment 6.

[0033] Specifically: In the automated cleaning stage of the vegetable cleaning device used in vegetable product production, the operator starts the drive motor 12 with a rated power of 2.2kW. This motor drives the bevel gear through a flange coupling.

[0034] The first gear 13 and the second bevel gear 14 form an orthogonal transmission pair, transmitting power to the transmission rod 15 at a reduction ratio of 1:1.5. The transmission rod 15 is rigidly connected to the connecting frame 16 of the planetary gear system structure via a spline, driving the vegetable bin 6 to rotate at a constant speed of 120 r / min around its axis, so that the vegetables in the bin are evenly spread under the action of centrifugal force. At the same time, the centrifugal water pump 5 configured in the 500L water bin 3 injects pressurized water into the annular inner cavity of the fixed platform 9 through the DN40 stainless steel delivery pipe 4. This inner cavity is connected to the connecting ring 10 with a rotary sealing structure, and the water flows through the 12 circumferentially distributed diversion channels of the connecting ring 10 to the spray head 11. Each spray head 11 adopts a spiral nozzle design, rotating at 80 r / min in the opposite direction to the vegetable compartment 6, coaxial with the connecting frame 16, forming a dynamic staggered rinsing trajectory. The spray water pressure can reach 0.6 MPa, which can penetrate the surface folds of vegetables. This three-dimensional composite motion mode allows the water flow to cover the axial, radial, and tangential spatial positions of the vegetables in the vegetable compartment 6, and together with the turbulent water curtain formed by the 316L stainless steel mesh compartment wall, a three-dimensional rinsing is achieved.

[0035] Working principle: When the fixing bolt 18 is turned to open the closing door 8, vegetables are placed in the vegetable compartment 6. Then, the fixing bolt 18 is used to close the closing door 8 in the vegetable compartment 6. After the support column 21 is connected to the matching groove of the transmission rod 15, the screw 7 is turned to drive the moving plate 19 to move. This causes the moving plate 19 to press the clamping plate 23 outward through the support plate 1 20 and the support plate 22, so that the clamping plate 23 is locked in the slide frame 17, making it convenient to install the vegetable compartment 6 together with the output into the washing compartment 1.

[0036] When the drive motor 12 starts, it drives the first bevel gear 13 to transmit power to the second bevel gear 14, causing the transmission rod 15 and the connecting frame 16 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission rod 15 causes the vegetable bin 6 to rotate. Water from the water bin 3 is pumped into the cavity of the fixed platform 9 via the water pump 5 and the delivery pipe 4, and then fed into the spray head 11 via the connecting ring 10. Driven by the connecting frame 16, the spray head 11 rotates and scrubs the vegetable bin 6, improving the rinsing effect by rinsing different parts of the vegetables. After rinsing, the system is controlled...

[0037] Drain pipe 2 drains the wastewater from cleaning chamber 1.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
