Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pea washing equipment, and in particular to a pea washing machine with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] Pea cleaning equipment is a key piece of equipment in food processing production lines. It is mainly used to efficiently clean fresh or frozen peas, removing surface mud, impurities, pesticide residues, and some microorganisms to ensure the hygiene and safety of subsequent processing (such as quick-freezing and canning).

[0003] Currently, the processing of peas involves first soaking the pea pods to soften them, then peeling them, and finally washing them before further processing. However, directly sending the washed peas to the next processing stage results in significant water loss and increases the workload of subsequent steps. Therefore, a preliminary drying process is necessary after draining the peas, specifically a surface drying treatment. Furthermore, before washing, the peas need to be sorted by size. Different pea sizes are used to prepare different foods or are packaged and sold separately. Existing equipment can only screen peas of one size, limiting its capacity. When a large number of peas enter the screening box simultaneously, the outlet is easily clogged, and the screening effect is poor.

[0004] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a pea washing machine with a drying function, including a washing mechanism 6, and a screening mechanism is connected to the feeding end of the washing mechanism 6.

[0031] See Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cleaning mechanism 6 includes a housing, which contains a cleaning tank 61 and a drying chamber 62. The cleaning tank 61 is used to hold cleaning water and is equipped with a bubbling pipe 68. The drying chamber 62 is equipped with a drying component.

[0032] The washing tank 61 has an opening at the top of its inlet, namely the washing tank inlet 60; the drying box 62 has a drying box outlet 67 at its outlet, with the lower part for material discharge and the upper part for the intake of drying hot air. A first conveyor belt 63 is also provided inside the box, with several first baffles 64 evenly spaced on the first conveyor belt 63, and several ventilation gaps 631 on the first conveyor belt 63.

[0033] The first conveyor belt 63 is installed through the washing tank 61 and the drying box 62. The first conveyor belt 63 in the washing tank 61 is inclined, and the first conveyor belt 63 in the drying box 62 is horizontal.

[0034] A portion of the first conveyor belt 63 located in the washing tank 61 is below the surface of the washing water, and a barrier block 65 is provided below the end of the first conveyor belt 63 located below the surface of the washing water. The upper surface of the barrier block 65 is inclined and there is a gap between it and the first baffle 64 on the first conveyor belt 63. The gap is smaller than the diameter of the peas to prevent peas from entering below the first conveyor belt 63.

[0035] Peas fall into the washing tank 61 through the inlet 60. Gas is continuously introduced into the washing tank through the bubbling pipe 68, forming bubbles that keep the peas tumbling. The first conveyor belt 63 drives the first baffle 64 to rotate, further assisting in the tumbling. The rotation of the first conveyor belt 63, in turn, drives the first baffle 64 to rotate. Under the limiting effect of the first baffle 64, the peas move upwards with the first conveyor belt 63. If there are too many peas between two adjacent first baffles 64, some will slide off, ensuring that the peas between adjacent first baffles 64 are not excessively piled up, thus allowing the drying components to dry the peas more effectively. To ensure the washing and drying effect of the peas, the first conveyor belt 63 rotates at a relatively slow speed.

[0036] The drying assembly includes multiple arc-shaped plates 66, which are arranged alternately on the upper and lower sides of the first conveyor belt 63. The alternating arrangement of the multiple arc-shaped plates 66 causes the drying hot air to circulate in an S-shape within the drying chamber 62, prolonging the contact time between the peas and the hot air and improving the initial drying effect of the peas.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 The screening mechanism includes a feeding conveyor belt 1 and several feeding baffles 2 evenly spaced on the feeding conveyor belt 1. An adjustable guide plate 4 is provided at the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 1, and a screening box 5 is located below the guide plate 4. The discharge port of the screening box 5 is located above the washing tank 61 and is adapted to the inlet of the washing tank 61. The feeding conveyor belt 1 is driven to rotate by a motor 3.

[0038] After the pea pods are removed, all the peas are placed on the feeding conveyor belt 1. To prevent the feeding conveyor belt 1 from having too many peas during the feeding process, a feeding baffle 2 of appropriate height is selected so that the peas that are piled up too thickly can slide off smoothly, and thus the peas can fall into the screening box 5 more evenly. This setting also avoids the problem of too many peas falling into the screening box 5 at one time, resulting in unsatisfactory screening effect and clogging of the discharge port of the screening box 5.

[0039] The angle of the guide plate 4 is adjustable and can be adjusted according to the height of the screening box 5.

[0040] The screening box 5 is equipped with a detachable screening plate 53, which has several screening holes 531. The screening plate 53 is inclined, with its bottom end abutting against the discharge port of the screening box 5 and against one side of the box opening, dividing the screening box 5 into two chambers. The chamber above the screening plate 53 is the screening chamber 51, which is used to screen all the peas entering the screening box 5. After screening, peas of the correct size enter the washing tank 61 through the discharge port of the screening box 5. The chamber below the screening plate 53 is the collection chamber 52, which is used to collect peas that are too small or do not meet the size requirements. A pull-out collection box can be installed in the collection chamber 52 for easy collection and emptying.

[0041] See Figures 3 to 5 An adjusting plate 55 is provided at the discharge port of the screening box 5. The bottom of the adjusting plate 55 is provided with a limiting hole 54. The pea washing machine of this utility model can select peas of different particle sizes for washing and drying. Therefore, the height of the adjusting plate 55 can be adjusted according to the needs. With the help of screening plates 53 of different aperture sizes, the largest peas are screened out first, then the medium-sized peas are selected out, and finally the smallest peas are selected out.

[0042] The height of the adjusting plate 55 is adjustable. Specifically, the adjusting plate 55 includes a support plate 552 and a perforated plate 553. The bottom of the perforated plate 553 can be wavy or serrated, and the resulting limiting hole 54 can allow peas to pass through smoothly. Both the support plate 552 and the perforated plate 553 are provided with elongated holes 555, and locking bolts 554 are installed in the elongated holes 555. The height of the perforated plate 553 is adjustable by the cooperation of the elongated holes 555 and the locking bolts 554. The support plate 552 is installed at the outlet of the screening box 5 by an adjusting assembly. The adjusting assembly includes a right-angle plate 551 and a rotating bolt 556. The bottom of the rotating bolt 556 is limited in height by a nut 557. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the adjusting plate 55, only the hexagonal head of the rotating bolt 55 is turned by a wrench. Under the limiting action of the nut 557, the support plate 552 and the perforated plate 553 are moved as a whole. The height of the entire adjustment plate 55 can be adjusted by rotating the bolt 55, and the size of the discharge port of the screening box 5 can be further adjusted by adjusting the perforated plate 553. Through dual adjustment, peas of different sizes can be screened, making it widely applicable.

[0043] In this utility model, baffles are provided at both ends of the first conveyor belt 63, which are closely adjacent to the side walls of the washing tank 61 and the drying box 62; baffle side plates are also provided on both sides of the feeding conveyor belt 1. All of these arrangements are to prevent peas from slipping off the sides.

[0044] This invention provides a pea washing machine with a drying function. The machine uses a washing tank to clean peas, and a rotating first conveyor belt carries the peas into a drying chamber. Alternating arc-shaped plates direct the hot air in an S-shaped path, and several ventilation gaps on the first conveyor belt further dry the peas, removing surface moisture. To classify peas of different sizes, an adjustable plate allows for dual adjustment, providing convenient operation and wide applicability.

[0045] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
