Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fresh coffee fruit processing, specifically to a fresh fruit processing device for coffee fermentation. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee is a popular beverage in daily life. The raw material for coffee is fresh coffee cherries. Before processing into coffee, the cherries need to undergo washing, degumming, and fermentation. Proper fermentation improves the taste and quality of the coffee. Before fermentation, the surface of the coffee cherries needs to be cleaned to prevent contamination. The current method of cleaning is to place the coffee cherries on a filter and then spray them through a nozzle. However, this method is not very effective, as the coffee cherries remain stationary on the filter, and the cleaning water cannot effectively and comprehensively contact the surface of the cherries, thus affecting the cleaning effect. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a fresh cherry processing device for coffee fermentation to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0009] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] This invention uses a spray nozzle to spray water into the processing chamber to rinse the coffee cherries. The coffee cherries roll down a spiral conveyor, and a rotating drum drives a brush to scrub the coffee cherries. The spiral conveyor plates then transport the coffee cherries from the bottom of the processing chamber upwards, allowing them to undergo another round of cleaning. Through multiple cleaning processes, the cleaning effect of the coffee cherries is ensured. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4This embodiment provides a fresh fruit processing device for coffee fermentation, including a processing box 1. A fixing ring 2 is installed on the outer surface of the processing box 1, and several support rods 3 are installed at the lower end of the fixing ring 2. A rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the processing box 1. A feed pipe 5 is installed at the left end of the processing box 1, and the feed pipe 5 is located below the rotating plate 4. A discharge pipe 6 is installed at the lower end of the processing box 1. A rotating cylinder 7 is arranged inside the processing box 1. A brush 8 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 7. A conical plate 9 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 7. A spiral conveyor 10 is installed on the inner wall of the processing box 1, and the inner wall of the spiral conveyor 10 contacts the brush 8. A rotating shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the rotating plate 4, and the rotating shaft 11 passes through the inside of the rotating cylinder 7 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the processing box 1. A rotating shaft 11 is installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 11. A spiral conveyor plate 12 is attached to the inner wall of the rotating drum 7 and the bottom of the processing tank 1. A bevel gear 13 is installed on the upper end of the rotating shaft 11. Vertical rods 14 are symmetrically installed on the lower end of the rotating plate 4 and are fixedly connected to the rotating drum 7. A ring bevel gear 15 is installed on the upper end of the rotating plate 4. A rotating rod 16 is set on the upper side of the rotating plate 4. Two bevel gears 17 are installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 16 and are installed in opposite directions. One bevel gear 17 meshes with the first bevel gear 13 and the other bevel gear 17 meshes with the ring bevel gear 15. A motor 18 is installed on the right end of the rotating rod 16. Several water spray heads 19 are installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the processing tank 1 and are connected to an external water source. An overflow water pipe 20 is installed on the lower side of the processing tank 1.
[0020] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Coffee cherries are poured into the processing box 1 through the feed pipe 5. Water spray head 19 sprays water into the processing box 1 to rinse the coffee cherries. The coffee cherries roll down the spiral conveyor 10 and come into contact with the brush 8. At the same time, motor 18 drives two bevel gears 17 to rotate through rotating rod 16. The two bevel gears 17 drive bevel gear 13 and ring bevel gear 15 to rotate respectively. Since the two bevel gears 17 rotate in opposite directions, bevel gear 13 and ring bevel gear 15 rotate in opposite directions. Bevel gear 13 drives the spiral conveyor 15 through rotating shaft 11. The spiral conveyor plate 12 rotates, and at the same time, the annular bevel gear 15 drives the rotating plate 4 to rotate. The rotating plate 4 drives the rotating cylinder 7 to rotate through the upright rod 14, so that the spiral conveyor plate 12 and the rotating cylinder 7 rotate relative to each other. The rotating cylinder 7 drives the brush 8 to rotate to brush the coffee cherries. The spiral conveyor plate 12 conveys the coffee cherries at the bottom of the processing box 1 upward. The coffee cherries are dispersed onto the spiral conveyor channel 10 through the rotating cylinder 7 and the conical plate 9. Then, a new round of cleaning is carried out. The cleaning effect of the coffee cherries is ensured through multiple cleanings. Excess water is discharged through the overflow pipe 20.
