Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable processing, specifically a vegetable processing waste collection device. Background Technology

[0002] In the vegetable processing industry, a large amount of waste is generated in every stage, from washing, peeling, and cutting to pickling, dehydration, and extraction. For example, in the production of pickled vegetables (such as pickled mustard tuber and kimchi), the washing, pickling, and draining processes produce wastewater with high salt content and high organic matter concentration; in the processing of dehydrated vegetables (such as carrots and onions), the washing, desalting, and pressing processes produce wastewater with high suspended solids and ammonia nitrogen content. In addition, scraps from vegetable processing (such as vegetable leaves, roots, and pieces) also constitute an important part of the waste.

[0003] Wastewater is primarily treated by being discharged through pipes and then processed using various desalination and denitrification devices. Scrap materials from vegetable processing require large collection systems for centralized disposal. Because these waste materials have high water content and are easily perishable, failure to treat them promptly can lead to problems such as foul odors, leachate contamination, and even the spread of pests and diseases.

[0004] Currently, some waste collection equipment exists on the market, but it is still insufficient for the characteristics of vegetable processing waste. It does not take into account the high water content and easy rot of vegetable waste. When it is piled up, the internal temperature rises, making it very easy to rot. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vegetable processing waste collection device to solve the problem that the waste collection devices mentioned in the background art do not fully consider the characteristics of vegetable waste being high in moisture and easily perishable, and that when they are piled together, the internal temperature rises and the waste easily rots.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a vegetable processing waste collection device, comprising a three-sided frame with a notch at the rear end, an upper collection pool rotatably connected within the three-sided frame via a shaft, the upper collection pool comprising a funnel-shaped collection section, within which a vegetable waste collection trough is formed; a ventilation unit is provided within the upper collection pool, the ventilation unit comprising a main ventilation pipe, an airflow distribution pipe connected to the output end of the main ventilation pipe, and multiple ventilation components connected to the output end of the airflow distribution pipe, the multiple ventilation components being arranged in an array, each ventilation component comprising a branch ventilation pipe, the other end of which extends through one side wall of the upper collection pool to the other side of the inner wall of the upper collection pool, the branch ventilation pipe being fixed to the upper collection pool, a ventilation plate being fixed outside the portion of the branch ventilation pipe located inside the upper collection pool, the ventilation plate being inclined, the inclination angle of the ventilation plate being equal to the setting angle of the rear end face of the funnel-shaped collection section, the ventilation plate communicating with the interior of the branch ventilation pipe, and a plurality of airflow outlet holes being arrayed on the ventilation plate.

[0007] Preferably, the upper collection tank further includes a lower rectangular portion, which is integrally connected to the lower end of the trumpet-shaped collection portion. The front and rear ends of the connection between the trumpet-shaped collection portion and the lower rectangular portion are welded and fixed with a side fixing inner edge, and a filter screen is provided at the upper end of the side fixing inner edge.

[0008] Preferably, a liquid collecting plate is fixed inside the lower rectangular portion, and a liquid discharge hole groove is opened at the front end of the lower end face of the liquid collecting plate. The upper end face of the liquid collecting plate is inclined towards the liquid discharge hole groove, and a lower liquid collecting groove is formed inside the lower rectangular portion along the lower end of the liquid collecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the four corners of the lower end of the three-sided frame are welded and fixed with supporting columns, and the lower ends of the four supporting columns are jointly fixed with a lower frame. The left and right sides of the front end of the inner wall of the lower frame are fixed with lower fixing seats. A driving hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the lower fixing seat through a shaft. The output rod end of the driving hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to an upper fixing block through a shaft. The upper fixing block is fixed to the lower end of the lower rectangular part.

[0010] Preferably, a drain pipe is centrally installed at the rear end of the lower rectangular portion, and a control valve is installed on the drain pipe.

[0011] Preferably, cushioning foam is attached and fixed to the exterior of the rear end of the lower frame.

[0012] Preferably, the lower frame is equipped with casters at the four corners of its lower end, and the upper collection pool is fixed with a pusher on one side.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) In this utility model, by setting up an upper collection tank and its internal ventilation unit, vegetable processing waste can be collected quickly. The airflow pumped in by the external fan removes the heat from the waste, effectively reducing the waste temperature. During the collection process, the rate of bacterial growth is minimized, and the rate of decay is slowed down, facilitating subsequent fermentation or other reprocessing. This solves the problem that waste collection equipment does not fully consider the characteristics of high water content and easy decay of vegetable waste, which leads to increased internal temperature and easy decay when the waste is piled up.

[0015] (2) In this utility model, the filter screen and liquid collection plate allow the water in the vegetable waste to drip naturally into the lower liquid collection tank, achieving solid-liquid separation. The collected water can be discharged through the drain pipe to the washing tank for filtration and recycling, improving the utilization rate of water resources and reducing production costs. Furthermore, the direction of the liquid discharge holes on the liquid collection plate is opposite to the rotation direction of the upper collection tank, so that when the upper collection tank is driven to rotate, it does not affect the liquid inside the lower liquid collection tank.

[0016] (3) In this utility model, the installation of the omnidirectional casters and the movable pusher allows the device to be easily moved to the fermentation tank or other processing areas. The design of the driving hydraulic cylinder allows the upper collection tank to rotate as a whole, smoothly unloading the vegetable waste to the target area. The operation is simple and quick, greatly improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 One embodiment of this utility model is a vegetable processing waste collection device, which mainly includes a support structure, an upper collection pool 6, a rotation drive structure, and other structures.

[0026] The three-sided frame 1 serves as the main frame of the device, with a notch at its rear end to provide space for the rotation and unloading of the upper collection tank 6. The upper collection tank 6 is rotatably connected to the three-sided frame 1 via a shaft. The upper collection tank 6 includes a funnel-shaped collection section 7 and a lower rectangular section 8. The funnel-shaped collection section 7 forms a vegetable waste collection trough 24 for collecting waste generated during vegetable processing. Side fixing inner edges 9 are welded and fixed to the front and rear ends of the connection between the funnel-shaped collection section 7 and the lower rectangular section 8. A filter screen 10 is installed at the upper end of the side fixing inner edge 9. The design of the filter screen 10 allows water in the vegetable waste to drip naturally, achieving preliminary solid-liquid separation, greatly reducing the water content in the waste, and lowering the difficulty and cost of subsequent processing.

[0027] A ventilation unit 17 is installed inside the upper collection tank 6. The ventilation unit 17 includes a main ventilation pipe 18, the output end of which is connected to an airflow distribution pipe 19. The output end of the airflow distribution pipe 19 is connected to multiple ventilation components 20, which are arranged in an array. Each ventilation component 20 includes a branch ventilation pipe 21, the other end of which extends through one side wall of the upper collection tank 6 to the other side of the inner wall of the upper collection tank 6 and is fixed thereto. A ventilation plate 22 is fixed outside the portion of the branch ventilation pipe 21 located inside the upper collection tank 6. The ventilation plate 22 is inclined, and the inclination angle is equal to the setting angle of the rear end face of the trumpet-shaped collection part 7, so as not to affect the collection and unloading of waste. The ventilation plate 22 is internally connected to the branch ventilation pipe 21, and several airflow outlet holes 23 are arrayed on the ventilation plate 22. The external fan pumps air into the ventilation plate 22 through the ventilation main duct 18, airflow distribution duct 19 and ventilation branch duct 21. The airflow is discharged through the airflow outlet 23, which can effectively remove the heat from the collected vegetable waste, prevent the waste from deteriorating due to excessive temperature, greatly extend the storage time of the waste, and provide convenience for subsequent processing.

[0028] A liquid collection plate 11 is fixed inside the lower rectangular section 8. A liquid discharge slot 12 is formed at the front end of the lower surface of the liquid collection plate 11. The upper surface of the liquid collection plate 11 is inclined towards the liquid discharge slot 12. A lower liquid collection trough 13 is formed inside the lower rectangular section 8 along the lower end of the liquid collection plate 11. Water dripping from the filter screen 10 is collected through the liquid collection plate 11 and flows into the liquid discharge slot 12, eventually draining into the lower liquid collection trough 13. This efficient liquid collection ensures that the rotation of the upper collection tank 6 does not affect the collected liquid. A drain pipe 14 is centrally installed at the rear end of the lower rectangular section 8, and a control valve 15 is installed on the drain pipe 14. When the idle unit is queuing for the next round of vegetable waste collection, the control valve 15 is opened to discharge the collected water into the washing tank for filtration. This water can be recycled for vegetable washing, maximizing water resource utilization and significantly reducing production costs.

[0029] Support columns 2 are welded and fixed at the four corners of the lower end of the three-sided frame 1. The lower ends of the four support columns 2 are jointly fixed to the lower frame 3. Lower fixing seats 25 are fixed on the left and right sides of the front end of the inner wall of the lower frame 3. A drive hydraulic cylinder 26 is rotatably connected to the lower fixing seat 25 via a shaft. The output rod end of the drive hydraulic cylinder 26 is rotatably connected to an upper fixing block 27 via a shaft. The upper fixing block 27 is fixed to the lower end of the lower rectangular part 8. When the vegetable waste collection tank 24 is full, the locking of the movable caster 4 is released, and the device is pushed to the fermentation tank or other processing area by the movable pusher 16. The output rod end of the drive hydraulic cylinder 26 extends and pushes the upper collection tank 6 to rotate as a whole. It rotates downward through the notch of the three-sided frame 1, and the vegetable waste in the vegetable waste collection tank 24 slides down the inner wall and the surface of the ventilation plate 22 to the target area. Since the liquid discharge hole 12 is opposite to the downward rotation direction, it will not affect the liquid collected in the lower liquid collection tank 13, ensuring the continuity and stability of liquid collection.

[0030] The lower frame 3 has cushioning foam 5 glued and fixed to the rear end of the device, which plays a buffering role during the unloading process and effectively protects the device. The lower frame 3 is equipped with casters 4 at the four corners of the lower end, and a moving handle 16 is fixed to one side of the upper collection tank 6, which allows the device to be easily moved to the designated position, making the operation flexible and convenient.

[0031] Working principle: Vegetables are washed before processing. After washing, roots, stems, and old leaves are removed by cutting. The waste from vegetable processing is directly discharged into the vegetable waste collection trough 24 of the upper collection tank 6 via a conveyor belt. An external fan pumps air into the ventilation plate 22 through the ventilation main duct 18, airflow distribution pipe 19, and ventilation branch pipe 21. The airflow is discharged through the airflow outlet 23, carrying away the heat from the collected vegetable waste. The moisture in the vegetable waste drips through the water filter plate 10 onto the upper end of the liquid collection plate 11, and is discharged from the liquid discharge hole 12 into the lower liquid collection trough 13 through the liquid collection plate 11.

[0032] Once the vegetable waste collection trough 24 is full, release the locking of the casters 4 and push the device to the fermentation tank or other processing area using the push handle 16. The output rod of the hydraulic cylinder 26 extends, pushing the upper collection tank 6 to rotate downwards through the notch in the three-sided frame 1. The vegetable waste in the collection trough 24 slides down the inner wall of the collection trough 24 and the surface of the ventilation plate 22 into the target area. Since the liquid discharge hole 12 rotates in the opposite direction to the downward rotation, it does not affect the liquid collected in the lower liquid collection trough 13. Push the idle device to queue for the next round of vegetable waste collection. During this process, open the control valve to discharge the collected water into the washing tank for filtration, which can then be recycled for washing vegetables.

[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
