[0003] A vegetable cleaning and processing device for vegetable processing, with Chinese patent number CN220384215U, increases the number of vegetables it can clean by lengthening the machine body and adds a conveyor belt to enable assembly line operation, which greatly reduces labor costs and improves the efficiency of cleaning and processing.
[0004] The aforementioned device, by incorporating a conveyor belt, enables assembly line operation, significantly reducing labor costs and improving cleaning and processing efficiency. Many vegetable washing machines use a single spraying or soaking method, which makes it difficult for water to reach the roots and stems of vegetables sufficiently, resulting in the ineffective removal of pesticide residues, dirt, and other impurities. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a raw material cleaning device for the production and processing of nutritious foods, which has the advantage of thoroughly cleaning the roots and stems of vegetables. Many vegetable cleaning machines use a single spraying or soaking method, which makes it difficult for water to reach the roots and stems of vegetables sufficiently, resulting in the ineffective removal of pesticide residues, dirt, and other impurities.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned goal of thoroughly cleaning the roots and stems of vegetables, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a raw material cleaning device for the production and processing of nutritious foods, including a cleaning device, and a cleaning component and a positioning component installed inside the cleaning device;
[0007] The cleaning device includes a cleaning tank, connecting strips symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning tank, a sealing plate fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning tank, and multiple spray heads equidistantly installed on the inner wall of the connecting strips.
[0008] The positioning assembly includes a slide rail symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank near the sealing plate. A slider is slidably connected to the slide rail. Two sliders are connected to a U-shaped plate at one end via a roller shaft. An electromagnetic block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the U-shaped plate. Multiple compression springs are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the end of the electromagnetic block away from the U-shaped plate. A magnetic clamp is fixedly connected to the end of the compression spring away from the electromagnetic block. A mesh plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate away from the electromagnetic block.
[0009] The cleaning assembly includes two U-shaped tubes that are movably installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank. Multiple nozzles are equidistantly provided on the side walls of the U-shaped tubes, and the U-shaped tubes are located on both sides of the positioning assembly. A water inlet is provided at the top of the U-shaped tube, and a delivery pipe is threaded into the water inlet. The end of the delivery pipe away from the water inlet is connected to a water source via a water pump.
[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning tank has a mirrored, tilted design at both ends.
[0011] Furthermore, a conveyor belt is installed near the bottom of the cleaning tank, and a drain outlet is opened at the bottom of the cleaning tank, with a solenoid valve installed on the drain outlet.
[0012] Furthermore, the U-shaped tube is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank via a rotating shaft. A tray is fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning tank, and a servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the tray. The output end of the servo motor is connected to one of the rotating shafts.
[0013] Furthermore, gears are fitted onto the surfaces of both shafts, and the gears are meshed together.
[0014] Furthermore, the magnetic clamp is made of magnetic material, and the magnetic clamp and the fixed magnetic block attract each other.
[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is fixedly connected to a controller that includes a control solenoid block, a servo motor, a conveyor belt, a water pump, and a solenoid valve.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] 1. In use, this utility model, by setting up a cleaning component and a positioning component, activates the electromagnetic block via a controller, causing the magnetic clamping plate and the electromagnetic block to attract each other. At this time, the vegetables to be cleaned can be placed in rows between the magnetic clamping plate and the mesh plate. Then, the electromagnetic block is turned off, and the magnetic clamping plate, through the elastic force of the compression spring, clamps the vegetables between the magnetic clamping plate and the mesh plate for positioning. Due to the elastic force adjustment of the compression spring, the magnetic clamping plate can avoid damaging the vegetables. At this time, the water pump can be activated by the controller to deliver water from the delivery pipe to the U-shaped pipe, and the vegetable roots and stems are rinsed through the nozzle. The U-shaped plate is rotated and installed. During the rinsing of vegetables, the water pressure can shake the U-shaped plate, causing the vegetable roots and stems to sway from side to side, which can rinse them more thoroughly. After the roots and stems are cleaned, the electromagnetic block can be activated again, causing the magnetic clamping plate and the electromagnetic block to attract each other. At this time, the vegetables automatically fall into the cleaning tank and slide to the bottom, where they are rinsed again by the spray nozzle, effectively achieving the effect of pre-cleaning the roots and stems before washing the vegetables.
[0018] 2. In use, this utility model, by setting up a conveyor belt and a rotatable and adjustable U-shaped tube, clamps the vegetables between the magnetic clamp and the mesh plate, and then washes their roots and stems through the U-shaped tube. At the same time, the controller can start the servo motor to drive the rotating shaft, which drives the U-shaped tube to rotate and adjust the tilt angle. The two rotating shafts can also make the two U-shaped tubes adjust synchronously in opposite directions. The U-shaped tube washes the vegetable roots and stems at different angles, which can clean the dirt stuck in the crevices more thoroughly. After the vegetable roots and stems are washed, they fall onto the conveyor belt and are automatically transported to the bottom of the washing tank for washing. After rinsing, they are transported to the next processing stage. The wastewater after rinsing can be discharged through the drain outlet opened by the solenoid valve. This effectively achieves the goal of adjusting the tilt angle of the U-shaped tube to wash the vegetable roots and stems from all directions, while the conveyor belt can automatically transport the vegetables until the entire washing process is completed.

[0026] 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.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a raw material cleaning device for the production and processing of nutritional food, including a cleaning device 1, wherein a cleaning component 2 and a positioning component 3 are installed inside the cleaning device 1;
[0028] The cleaning device 1 includes a cleaning tank 101, a connecting strip 103 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the cleaning tank 101, a sealing plate 102 fixedly connected to one end of the cleaning tank 101, and multiple spray heads 107 equidistantly installed on the inner wall of the connecting strip 103.
[0029] The positioning component 3 includes a slide rail 301 symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 101 near the sealing plate 102. A slider 302 is slidably connected to the slide rail 301. Two sliders 302 are rotatably connected to one end of each other via a roller 303. An electromagnetic block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the U-plate 304. Multiple compression springs 306 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the end of the electromagnetic block away from the U-plate 304. A magnetic clamp 305 is fixedly connected to the end of the compression spring 306 away from the electromagnetic block. A mesh plate 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the U-plate 304 away from the electromagnetic block.
[0030] The cleaning component 2 includes two U-shaped tubes 205 movably installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 101. Multiple nozzles 206 are equidistantly provided on the side wall of the U-shaped tubes 205, and the U-shaped tubes 205 are located on both sides of the positioning component 3. A water inlet is provided at the top of the U-shaped tubes 205, and a delivery pipe 207 is threadedly connected to the water inlet. The end of the delivery pipe 207 away from the water inlet is connected to a water source through a water pump.
[0031] The cleaning tank 101 has a mirror-shaped inclined design at both ends. The magnetic clamp 305 is made of magnetic material and attracts the magnetic clamp 305 with the fixed magnetic block. The cleaning tank 101 is fixedly connected to a controller that includes a control electromagnetic block, a servo motor 202, a conveyor belt 104, a water pump, and a solenoid valve 106.
[0032] By setting up the cleaning component 2 and the positioning component 3, and activating the electromagnetic block via the controller, the magnetic clamp 305 and the electromagnetic block attract each other. At this point, the vegetables to be cleaned can be placed in rows between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307. Then, the electromagnetic block is deactivated. The magnetic clamp 305, through the elastic force of the compression spring 306, clamps the vegetables between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307, ensuring proper positioning. Furthermore, the elastic force of the compression spring 306 prevents the magnetic clamp 305 from damaging the vegetables. At this point, the water pump can be activated via the controller to pump water from the delivery pipe 207. The water is fed into the U-shaped tube 205 and rinsed through the nozzle 206. The U-shaped plate 304 is rotatably installed. During the rinsing of the vegetables, the water pressure causes the U-shaped plate 304 to shake, making the vegetable roots and stems sway from side to side, which can rinse them more thoroughly. After the roots and stems are cleaned, the electromagnetic block can be activated again, and the magnetic clamp 305 is attracted to the electromagnetic block. At this time, the vegetables automatically fall into the washing box 101 and slide to the bottom, where they are rinsed again by the spray head 107. This effectively achieves the effect of pre-cleaning the roots and stems before washing the vegetables.
[0033] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 As shown, a conveyor belt 104 is installed near the bottom inside the cleaning tank 101. A drain outlet 105 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 101, and a solenoid valve 106 is installed on the drain outlet 105. A U-shaped pipe 205 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 101 through a rotating shaft 203. A support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the cleaning tank 101. A servo motor 202 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 201, and the output end of the servo motor 202 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 203. Gears 204 are fitted on the surfaces of both rotating shafts 203, and the gears 204 are meshed together.
[0034] By setting up a conveyor belt 104 and a rotatable and adjustable U-shaped tube 205, after the vegetables are clamped between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307, their roots and stems are rinsed through the U-shaped tube 205. At the same time, the servo motor 202 can be turned on by the controller to drive the rotating shaft 203, which drives the U-shaped tube 205 to rotate and adjust the tilt angle. The two rotating shafts 203 can also make the two U-shaped tubes 205 adjust synchronously in opposite directions. The U-shaped tube 205 rinses the vegetable roots and stems at different angles, which can clean the dirt stuck in the crevices more thoroughly. After rinsing the vegetable roots and stems, the vegetables fall onto the conveyor belt 104 and are automatically transported to the bottom of the washing tank 101. After rinsing, they are transported to the next processing stage. The wastewater after rinsing can be discharged through the drain outlet 105 opened by the solenoid valve 106. This effectively achieves the goal of adjusting the tilt angle of the U-shaped tube 205 to rinse the vegetable roots and stems from all directions, while the conveyor belt 104 can automatically transport the vegetables until the entire cleaning process is completed.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: First, the electromagnetic block is activated by the controller, causing the magnetic clamp 305 to attract each other. At this time, the vegetables to be washed can be placed between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307. Then, the electromagnetic block is deactivated. The magnetic clamp 305, through the elastic force of the compression spring 306, clamps the vegetables between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307. Due to the adjustable elastic force of the compression spring 306, the magnetic clamp 305 can prevent damage to the vegetables. Then, the water pump is activated by the controller to deliver water from the delivery pipe 207 to the U-shaped pipe 205. The water is then rinsed through the nozzle 206. The U-shaped plate 304 is rotatably installed. During rinsing, the water pressure causes the U-shaped plate 304 to shake, resulting in the vegetable roots swaying left and right for a more thorough cleaning. After the roots are cleaned, the electromagnetic block can be activated again. The magnetic block attracts the magnetic clamp 305 to the electromagnetic block, causing the vegetables to automatically fall into the washing tank 101 and slide to the bottom for a second cleaning via the spray head 107. Next, after the vegetables are clamped between the magnetic clamp 305 and the mesh plate 307, their roots and stems are rinsed through the U-shaped tube 205. Simultaneously, the controller can activate the servo motor 202 to drive the rotating shaft 203, causing the U-shaped tube 205 to rotate and adjust its tilt angle. The two rotating shafts 203 allow the two U-shaped tubes 205 to adjust synchronously in opposite directions. The U-shaped tubes 205 rinse the vegetable roots and stems at different angles, effectively cleaning the dirt adhering to the crevices. After rinsing, the vegetables fall onto the conveyor belt 104 and are automatically transported to the bottom of the washing tank 101 for rinsing before being transported to the next processing stage. The rinsing wastewater can be discharged through the drain outlet 105 opened by the solenoid valve 106.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model.
