Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable sterilization technology, specifically a sterilization device for processing fresh vegetables on an assembly line. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of bulk processing of vegetables, sterilization is usually required to improve their food safety and extend their shelf life; during vegetable processing, chopping is often carried out, and the chopped vegetables need to be sterilized.

[0003] In the prior art, CN215531299U discloses a sterilization device for fresh vegetable processing lines. Although the above-mentioned prior art achieves sterilization and disinfection of vegetables by spraying sterilizing and disinfecting liquid through spray heads, in actual use, the spray heads in the prior art are all fixed and can only cover the area directly below and nearby, failing to fully cover the surface of the vegetables. This may result in some vegetables not being thoroughly disinfected. At the same time, the amount of disinfectant sprayed is relatively large in the area near the spray head, while the amount sprayed in the area far away from the spray head is small, resulting in uneven distribution of disinfectant on the surface of the vegetables and affecting the consistency of the disinfection effect. If more spray heads are needed to cover the entire conveyor belt as much as possible, this will increase the purchase cost, installation cost, and subsequent maintenance cost of the equipment, making it impractical. In view of this, we propose a sterilization device for fresh vegetable processing lines to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sterilization device for processing fresh vegetables on an assembly line, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

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

[0014] 1. This utility model, through the arrangement of a moving plate, toothed groove, gear, connecting ball, first connecting pipe, second connecting pipe, rotating flange, spray head, spray plate, and other structures, enables the spray head to generate a rotating spraying action during disinfection. This allows the disinfectant to be sprayed evenly over a larger area, increasing the disinfectant coverage on the vegetable surface and distributing it more evenly. This avoids excessive spraying and waste in certain areas. While achieving the same disinfection effect, it also significantly reduces the number of spray heads, thereby lowering the equipment's purchase cost, installation cost, and subsequent maintenance cost. It is highly practical.

[0015] 2. By utilizing the combination of the first rotating rod, the second rotating rod, the sprocket, and the chain, this utility model enables the reciprocating screw to rotate synchronously while the motor-driven conveyor belt is running, thereby reducing the number of motors, reducing the overall energy consumption of the device, and achieving higher economic benefits.

The output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the conveyor belt 2 via a coupling. The movement of the conveyor belt 2 is achieved by the motor 3, thereby conveying the vegetables. A mounting plate 4 is fixedly connected inside the main body 1, located above the conveyor belt 2. Six connecting balls are rotatably fitted inside the mounting plate 4. 5. Gears 6 are fixedly fitted on the outer surface of the connecting ball 5. The three gears 6 on the left and the three gears 6 on the right are meshed with each other. A movable plate 7 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the mounting plate 4. A toothed groove 8 is opened on the rear surface of the movable plate 7. The toothed groove 8 is meshed with the two gears 6 on the front side. A first connecting pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting ball 5. A spray head 13 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting ball 5. The spray head 13 and the first connecting pipe 9 are connected through the connecting ball 5. A water delivery assembly is provided on the top wall of the main body 1. A guide groove 14 is opened on the top wall of the main body 1. A connecting assembly is provided inside the guide groove 14.

[0024] The water supply assembly includes a spray plate 10, which is fixedly connected to the top wall of the main body 1. A second connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the spray plate 10, and a rotating flange 12 is rotatably connected between the second connecting pipe 11 and the first connecting pipe 9.

[0025] The spray plate 10 is the same as the spray top plate in the published patent with announcement number CN215531299U, which is prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this article.

[0026] A water supply pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spray plate 10. The water supply pipe 23 extends through the outside of the main body 1. The water supply pipe 23 facilitates connection with external water source pipes, thereby facilitating the delivery of disinfectant.

[0027] The connecting assembly includes a reciprocating lead screw 15, which is rotatably connected inside the guide groove 14. A reciprocating lead screw sleeve 16 is sleeved on the outside of the reciprocating lead screw 15, and the reciprocating lead screw sleeve 16 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 14.

[0028] A connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the reciprocating screw sleeve 16, and the lower surface of the connecting rod 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 7.

[0029] The reciprocating screw 15 can be rotated to drive the reciprocating screw sleeve 16 to slide back and forth inside the guide groove 14. Since the reciprocating screw 15 and the reciprocating screw sleeve 16 are existing technologies, they are not described in detail in this article.

[0030] A cavity 18 is provided inside the right vertical plate of the main body 1. A first rotating rod 19 is rotatably connected inside the cavity 18. The left end of the first rotating rod 19 rotates through the guide groove 14 and is fixedly connected to the right end of the reciprocating screw 15.

[0031] The cavity 18 is rotatably connected to a second rotating rod 20. The second rotating rod 20 rotates through the cavity 18 and is fixedly connected to the shaft of the conveyor belt 2. When the motor 3 drives the conveyor belt 2 to move, the shaft of the conveyor belt 2 will drive the second rotating rod 20 to rotate synchronously.

[0032] The first rotating rod 19 and the second rotating rod 20 are both fixedly fitted with sprockets 21 at one end inside the cavity 18. The two sprockets 21 are externally connected to chains 22.

Since they are not the main structures of this solution, they are not described or shown in detail in this article. For details, please refer to the published patent with announcement number CN215531299U.

[0034] Working principle: When staff need to sterilize and disinfect fresh vegetables, they first place the vegetables to be disinfected on the conveyor belt 2. Then, they connect to the external water supply and water pipe 23. The disinfectant will then be sprayed out from the spray head 13 through the spray plate 10, the second connecting pipe 11, the rotating flange 12, the first connecting pipe 9 and the connecting ball 5.

[0035] Subsequently, the staff starts the motor 3. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor 3 and the cooperation of the coupling drive the conveyor belt 2 to transmit power, which facilitates the subsequent transportation of fresh vegetables. When the conveyor belt 2 moves, the shaft of the conveyor belt 2 will also drive the second rotating rod 20 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second rotating rod 20 and the cooperation of the sprocket 21 and the chain 22 will drive the rotation of the first rotating rod 19. The rotation of the first rotating rod 19 will drive the rotation of the reciprocating screw 15. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 15 will drive the reciprocating screw sleeve 16 to slide back and forth inside the guide groove 14. The movement of the reciprocating screw sleeve 16 will drive the movement of the moving plate 7. Since the gear 6 and the tooth groove 8 on the surface of the moving plate 7 mesh, the moving plate 7 will drive the two front gears 6 to swing back and forth when it moves back and forth. At this time, since the three gears 6 on both sides mesh with each other, all six connecting balls 5 will rotate back and forth. The rotation of the connecting balls 5 will drive the rotation of the spray head 13, ultimately increasing the spray range.

[0036] At the same time, when the connecting ball 5 rotates, it will drive the first connecting pipe 9 to rotate. Since the first connecting pipe 9 and the second connecting pipe 11 are connected by the rotating flange 12, the second connecting pipe 11 will not rotate.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any indirect modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
