Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable processing technology, specifically to a cleaning and disinfection device that facilitates vegetable dehydration. Background Technology
[0002] Dehydrated vegetables, also known as rehydrated vegetables, are dried vegetables made by washing and drying fresh vegetables to remove most of their water content. Before dehydration, they need to be cleaned and disinfected. Currently, the cleaning and disinfection process usually involves placing the cut vegetables in a washing tank with a stirring device to remove dust, dirt, and some pesticide residues. However, this method has several drawbacks. First, the water in the washing tank is stagnant, requiring multiple water changes to achieve proper cleaning and disinfection. Second, after cleaning, the vegetables need to be moved again to a draining area before being transported to the dehydration area, which is cumbersome. To address these issues, the inventor proposes a cleaning and disinfection device that facilitates vegetable dehydration. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the problem of cumbersome and laborious procedures in the current vegetable cleaning and disinfection process, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning and disinfection device that facilitates vegetable dehydration.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cleaning and disinfection device for facilitating vegetable dehydration, comprising a base, a draining tube rotatably disposed above the base, a toothed ring fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the draining tube, a spiral blade fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the draining tube, a water spray pipe disposed inside the draining tube, a water spray head fixedly connected to the side wall of the water spray pipe, and the axis of the water spray pipe coincides with the axis of the draining tube, and a transport cavity is disposed on the end face of the base, and the transport cavity is located directly below the output end of the draining tube.
[0005] Preferably, both ends of the sidewall of the drain cylinder are rotatably connected to rings, and the bottom surface of the rings is fixedly connected to a support. The bottom surface of the support is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. The drain cylinder is placed at an angle, with the inlet end higher than the outlet end. Drainage holes are provided through the sidewall of the drain cylinder. When vegetables need to be washed and disinfected for subsequent dehydration, the vegetables to be washed and disinfected can be poured into the drain cylinder from the inlet end. The drain cylinder can rotate and is placed at an angle. Spiral blades are provided inside the drain cylinder to convey the vegetables located at the inlet end downwards. The rings support the rotation of the drain cylinder, and the supports fix the rings. A water storage cavity is provided on the top surface of the base. The water storage chamber is located directly below the drain tube. A drain pipe is installed through the side wall of the base, with one end of the drain pipe extending into the water storage chamber. The drain pipe opening is detachably fitted with a plug. When the vegetables move down in the drain tube, an external water supply pipe must be connected to the water supply connector to supply water to the spray pipe. The spray head can then spray water onto the rotating vegetables in the drain tube to remove dust, dirt, and some pesticide residues from the surface of the vegetables, thus achieving a cleaning and disinfection effect. The sprayed water flows through the drain tube into the water storage chamber, where it can be collected for other uses, avoiding waste. When using the water, the plug is removed to allow the drain pipe to flow freely, and the water collected in the water storage chamber can be drained out.
[0006] Preferably, a motor is disposed above the base, and a first pulley is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. A second pulley is disposed above the first pulley, and a drive shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of the side wall of the second pulley. A gear is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the drive shaft, and the gear corresponds to and meshes with a gear ring. A synchronous belt is disposed on the side wall of the second pulley, and the end of the synchronous belt away from the second pulley engages with the first pulley. When the motor is started, the first pulley rotates under the action of the motor output shaft. The synchronous belt causes the second pulley to rotate, which in turn causes the drive shaft to drive the gear to rotate. A support plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the drive shaft, and the support plate supports the rotation of the drive shaft. When the gear rotates, the gear and the gear... The meshing of the toothed rings and the action of the ring sleeve cause the draining cylinder to rotate, which in turn causes the spiral blades to rotate, turning and conveying the vegetables downwards until they fall into the transport chamber through the output end of the draining cylinder. The transport chamber is used to transport the washed and disinfected vegetables to the dehydration station for dehydration. A base is provided on the side wall of the motor, and the bottom surface of the base is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base. The motor is installed through the base. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the input end of the water spray pipe. The connecting pipe is vertical, and a water supply connector is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe. A support cylinder is fixedly sleeved on the side wall of the water spray pipe, and a fixing frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support cylinder. The fixing frame is offset from the draining cylinder, and the end face of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: it facilitates the cleaning and disinfection of vegetables to be dehydrated, and the cleaning and disinfection effect is good. After cleaning and disinfection, the vegetables can automatically fall onto the transport chamber of the dehydration station. The vegetables can also be automatically drained during cleaning, eliminating the need to transport the cleaned vegetables again for draining, thereby reducing the number of operation steps and labor. The draining cylinder is inclined and can rotate. When the vegetables to be cleaned and disinfected are poured into the draining cylinder from the input end, the inclined rotating draining cylinder and the spiral blades can flip and convey the vegetables downward. At the same time, the water spray head on the spray pipe can spray water to rinse the rotating vegetables in the draining cylinder to remove dust, dirt and some pesticide residues from the surface of the vegetables, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning and disinfection.

A transport cavity 21 is provided on the end face of the base 1, and the transport cavity 21 is located directly below the output end of the drain cylinder 4.
[0015] Both ends of the side wall of the drain cylinder 4 are rotatably connected to a ring sleeve 5, and the bottom surface of the ring sleeve 5 is fixedly connected to a support 6. The bottom surface of the support 6 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solutions, such as Figure 1As shown, the drain cylinder 4 is placed at an angle, with the inlet end of the drain cylinder 4 higher than the outlet end. The side wall of the drain cylinder 4 is provided with a drain hole. When vegetables need to be cleaned and disinfected for subsequent dehydration, the vegetables to be cleaned and disinfected can be poured into the drain cylinder 4 from the inlet end. The drain cylinder 4 can rotate and is placed at an angle. A spiral blade 15 is provided inside the drain cylinder 4, which can convey the vegetables located at the inlet end of the drain cylinder 4 downwards.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the vegetables move down in the draining cylinder 4, the external water supply pipe needs to be connected to the water supply connector 20 to supply water to the spray pipe 16. The water head can spray water to rinse the rotating vegetables in the draining cylinder 4 to remove dust, dirt and some pesticide residues from the surface of the vegetables, thereby playing a role in cleaning and disinfection. The sprayed water can flow into the water storage chamber 2 through the draining cylinder 4. The water can be collected in the water storage chamber 2 for other uses to avoid water waste. When taking out the water, the plug is removed to make the drain pipe 3 unobstructed, so that the water collected in the water storage chamber 2 can be discharged.
[0019] A motor 8 is installed above the base 1. A first pulley 10 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 8. A second pulley 12 is installed above the first pulley 10. A transmission shaft 13 is fixedly connected through the middle of the side wall of the second pulley 12. A gear 14 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the transmission shaft 13. The gear 14 corresponds to and meshes with the gear ring 7.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a synchronous belt 11 is provided on the side wall of the second pulley 12. The end of the synchronous belt 11 away from the second pulley 12 is engaged with the first pulley 10. When the motor 8 is started, the first pulley 10 rotates under the action of the output shaft of the motor 8. The synchronous belt 11 enables the second pulley 12 to rotate, which in turn enables the transmission shaft 13 to drive the gear 14 to rotate. A support plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the transmission shaft 13. The support plate is used to support the rotation of the transmission shaft 13. When the gear 14 rotates, the meshing between the gear 14 and the gear ring 7, and the action of the ring sleeve 5, enable the draining cylinder 4 to rotate, which in turn enables the spiral blades 15 to rotate, so as to tumble and convey the vegetables downward until they fall into the transport chamber 21 through the output end of the draining cylinder 4.

The fixing frame 18 is offset from the drain cylinder 4, and the end face of the fixing frame 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1.
[0025] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, if vegetables need to be cleaned and disinfected for subsequent dehydration, the motor 8 is started. The first pulley 10 rotates under the action of the output shaft of the motor 8. The second pulley 12 rotates through the synchronous belt 11, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 13 to drive the gear 14 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear 14 and the gear ring 7, and under the action of the ring sleeve 5, the draining cylinder 4 rotates, which in turn drives the spiral blades 15 to rotate, thereby turning and conveying the vegetables downward.
[0026] Meanwhile, the vegetables to be cleaned and disinfected are poured into the drain tube 4 from the input end of the drain tube 4, and the external water supply pipe is connected to the water supply connector 20 to supply water to the spray pipe 16.
