Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning device for agricultural products. Background Technology

[0002] As an important part of people's daily diet, the hygiene and safety of agricultural products are directly related to consumers' health. Cleaning is a crucial pre-processing step in the entire supply chain of agricultural products, from farm to table.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent with Chinese patent publication number CN211100308U, which discloses a cleaning device for agricultural products. The device includes a support frame, with support legs fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support frame. A pressure spraying mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame. A conveying mechanism is provided between the two sides of the support frame. A brushing mechanism is rotatably connected inside the support frame. The brushing mechanism includes multiple parallel rotating rods, with the number of rotating rods being five.

[0004] The aforementioned device cleans tuberous agricultural products by setting up multiple nozzles and brushes. However, it can only clean the upper part of the tubers, and the part in contact with the conveyor belt cannot be cleaned sufficiently, which may lead to incomplete cleaning and leaves room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for agricultural products to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for agricultural products, comprising a base plate and a mounting frame. A mounting hopper is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base plate. The mounting frame is positioned at the top of the mounting hopper. A rocking assembly is installed between the mounting hopper and the mounting frame. The rocking assembly includes several hinge seats disposed on the outer wall of one end of the mounting frame, the hinge seats being hinged inside the mounting hopper. Several equally spaced contact posts are disposed on the outer wall of the other end of the mounting frame. A receiving frame is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the mounting hopper. A top rod is placed on the top of the receiving frame. A V-shaped top block adapted to the several contact posts is disposed on the top of the top rod. Three extension blocks are disposed on the outer wall of the end of the top rod closest to the transmission rod. A limiting rod is fixedly connected inside the mounting hopper. The three extension blocks are slidably sleeved outside the limiting rod. A driving structure is installed inside the mounting hopper. The driving structure includes a transmission rod and a motor.

[0007] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the transmission rod is rotatably connected inside the mounting bucket, a threaded groove is provided in the middle position of the transmission rod, the extension block in the middle position of the top rod is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove, and the two extension blocks on both sides of the top rod are slidably sleeved on the outside of the smooth parts at both ends of the transmission rod.

[0008] This system ensures that tuberous agricultural products continue to roll during transport, guaranteeing thorough cleaning of surface stains and improving cleaning efficiency. The motor drives the transmission rod to rotate, causing the top rod extension block to move along the limit rod. The protrusion at the top of the top rod pushes the contact post upwards, causing the mounting frame and hinge to tilt upwards inside the mounting hopper. As the top rod continues to move, the contact post gradually loses support, causing the mounting frame to tilt downwards and to the other side. This repeated tilting of the mounting frame causes the tubers to roll back and forth along the slope, ensuring that all parts of the tubers are directly facing the high-pressure water gun, guaranteeing complete cleaning.

[0009] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a mesh belt conveyor is installed inside the installation hopper, an electric motor adapted to the mesh belt conveyor is installed outside the installation frame, and a feeding assembly is installed on the top of the bottom plate, with the feeding assembly located on one side of the installation hopper.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the feeding assembly includes two support columns fixedly connected to one side of the top outer wall of the base plate, a receiving frame hinged between the two support columns, a horizontally arranged extension column fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall at both ends of the receiving frame, a horizontally arranged limiting strip provided at the bottom of the inner wall at both ends of the receiving frame, a winch fixedly installed on the outer wall at both ends of the mounting bucket, and the steel cable wound inside the winding reel of the two winches fixedly connected to the two extension columns respectively.

[0011] The mobile cart filled with tuberous agricultural products is pushed into the receiving frame, with the grooves on both sides of the cart fitting over the two limiting strips. Then, the two winches outside the installation bucket are started, and the winches begin to wind up the external steel cable. The steel cable pulls the receiving frame through the extension column, causing it to rotate inside the two support columns until the opening of the receiving frame tilts towards the inside of the installation frame. The cart will not move down due to the limitation strips, and the tubers will slide down to the top of the mesh belt conveyor inside the installation bucket. No lifting is required from the workers, making it more labor-saving.

[0012] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the outside of each of the contact columns, and each of the rotating rings is in contact with the top wall of the top rod.

[0013] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the base plate is externally fixedly connected to two support frames, and the upper half of each of the two support frames is equipped with several vertically arranged high-pressure water guns, with the outlets of the high-pressure water guns all facing the mesh belt conveyor.

[0014] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, a baffle is provided on one side of the outer wall of the top of the mounting bucket, and the baffle is positioned above the transmission rod and the limiting rod.

[0015] This utility model provides a cleaning device for agricultural products, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] (1) By setting up a shaking component, this utility model enables the tuberous agricultural products to keep rolling continuously when being conveyed, thereby ensuring that the stains on the surface of the agricultural products can be cleaned in all directions, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect. The motor is started to drive the transmission rod to start rotating. The top rod extension block moves along the limit rod under the drive of the transmission rod. The protruding part at the top of the top rod will push the contact column upward. The contact column drives the mounting frame and hinge seat to flip upward inside the mounting bucket and change to an inclined state. As the top rod continues to move, the support of the contact column is gradually lost. The mounting frame will flip downward and tilt to the other side. The mounting frame flips repeatedly like this, and the tuberous parts will roll back and forth along the slope, so that all parts of the tuberous parts can face the high-pressure water gun, ensuring that the tuberous parts can be completely cleaned.

[0017] (2) By setting up a feeding component, the mobile cart filled with stem and tuber agricultural products is pushed into the receiving frame, and the grooves on both sides of the mobile cart are fitted outside the two limiting strips. Then, the two winches outside the installation bucket are started and the winches start to wind up the external steel cable. The steel cable pulls the receiving frame through the extension column and flips inside the two support columns until the opening of the receiving frame tilts towards the inside of the installation frame. The cart will not move down under the restriction of the limiting strips, and the stems will slide to the top of the mesh belt conveyor inside the installation bucket. No lifting is required by the staff, which is more labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown in Figure 4, in this embodiment, a cleaning device for agricultural products includes a base plate 1 and a mounting frame 6. A mounting hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the base plate 1. The mounting frame 6 is positioned at the top of the mounting hopper 4. A rocking assembly 7 is installed between the mounting hopper 4 and the mounting frame 6. The rocking assembly 7 includes several hinge seats 701 disposed on the outer wall of one end of the mounting frame 6, with the hinge seats 701 hinged inside the mounting hopper 4. Several equally spaced contact posts 702 are disposed on the outer wall of the other end of the mounting frame 6. A receiving frame 707 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one end of the bucket 4. A top rod 703 is placed on the top of the receiving frame 707. A V-shaped top block that matches several contact posts 702 is provided on the top of the top rod 703. Three extension blocks are provided on the outer wall of the end of the top rod 703 near the transmission rod 704. A limit rod 705 is fixedly connected inside the bucket 4. The three extension blocks are slidably sleeved on the outside of the limit rod 705. A drive structure is installed inside the bucket 4. The drive structure includes the transmission rod 704 and the motor 706.

[0025] The transmission rod 704 is rotatably connected inside the mounting bucket 4. A threaded groove is provided in the middle position of the transmission rod 704. The extension block in the middle position of the top rod 703 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded groove, and the two extension blocks on both sides of the top rod 703 are slidably sleeved on the outside of the smooth parts at both ends of the transmission rod 704.

[0026] The installation bucket 4 is equipped with a mesh belt conveyor, and the installation frame 6 is equipped with a motor adapted to the mesh belt conveyor. The bottom plate 1 is equipped with a feeding assembly 8, which is located on one side of the installation bucket 4.

[0027] The starter motor 706 drives the transmission rod 704 to start rotating. The extension block of the push rod 703 moves along the limit rod 705 under the drive of the transmission rod 704. The protruding part at the top of the push rod 703 will push the contact post 702 upward. The contact post 702 drives the mounting frame 6 and the hinge seat 701 to flip upward inside the mounting bucket 4, changing to an inclined state. As the push rod 703 continues to move, the support of the contact post 702 gradually loses, and the mounting frame 6 will flip downward and tilt to the other side. The mounting frame 6 flips repeatedly in this way, and the stem will roll back and forth along the slope, so that all parts of the stem can face the high-pressure water gun 3, ensuring that the stem can be completely cleaned.

[0028] like Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding assembly 8 includes two support columns 801 fixedly connected to one side of the top outer wall of the base plate 1. A receiving frame 802 is hinged between the two support columns 801. A horizontally arranged extension column 803 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall at both ends of the receiving frame 802. A horizontally arranged limiting strip 805 is provided at the bottom of the inner wall at both ends of the receiving frame 802. A winch 804 is fixedly installed on the outer wall at both ends of the mounting bucket 4. The steel cables wound inside the winding reels of the two winches 804 are fixedly connected to the two extension columns 803 respectively.

[0029] The mobile cart filled with tuberous agricultural products is pushed into the receiving frame 802, and the grooves on both sides of the mobile cart are fitted onto the outside of the two limiting strips 805. Then, the two winches 804 outside the installation bucket 4 are started. The winches 804 begin to wind up the external steel cable. The steel cable pulls the receiving frame 802 through the extension column 803 and flips it inside the two support columns 801 until the opening of the receiving frame 802 tilts towards the inside of the mounting frame 6. The cart will not move down due to the restriction of the limiting strips 805, and the tubers will slide onto the top of the mesh belt conveyor inside the installation bucket 4. No lifting is required from the staff, which is more labor-saving.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, a rotating ring 708 is rotatably connected to the outside of several contact posts 702. The rotating rings 708 are in contact with the top wall of the push rod 703, so that when the push rod 703 moves, it can drive the rotating rings 708 to rotate, thus avoiding damage caused by friction.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 2, the base plate 1 is externally fixedly connected to two support frames 2. Several vertically arranged high-pressure water guns 3 are installed on the upper half of both support frames 2, and the outlets of the high-pressure water guns 3 are all facing the mesh belt conveyor.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown, a baffle 5 is provided on one side of the top outer wall of the mounting bucket 4. The baffle 5 is located above the transmission rod 704 and the limiting rod 705. The baffle 5 can block the water splashing from the outside and prevent impurities in the water from falling outside the transmission rod 704 and affecting the transmission.

[0033] This utility model provides a cleaning device for agricultural products, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0034] When the device is in operation, the mobile cart filled with tuberous agricultural products is pushed into the receiving frame 802, and the grooves on both sides of the mobile cart are fitted onto the outside of the two limiting strips 805. Then, the two winches 804 outside the installation bucket 4 are started. The winches 804 begin to wind up the external steel cable. The steel cable pulls the receiving frame 802 through the extension column 803 and flips it inside the two support columns 801 until the opening of the receiving frame 802 tilts towards the inside of the mounting frame 6. The cart will not move down under the restriction of the limiting strips 805, and the tubers will slide down to the top of the mesh belt conveyor inside the installation bucket 4. No lifting is required from the staff, which is more labor-saving.

[0035] The stems begin to move to one side under the conveyor belt. At the same time, the motor 706 starts to drive the transmission rod 704 to rotate. The extension block of the top rod 703 moves along the limit rod 705 under the drive of the transmission rod 704. The protruding part at the top of the top rod 703 pushes the contact post 702 upward. The contact post 702 drives the mounting frame 6 and the hinge seat 701 to flip upward inside the mounting bucket 4, turning into an inclined state. As the top rod 703 continues to move, the support of the contact post 702 gradually disappears. The mounting frame 6 flips downward and tilts to the other side. The mounting frame 6 flips repeatedly in this way, and the stems roll back and forth along the slope, so that all parts of the stems are facing the high-pressure water gun 3, ensuring that the stems are completely cleaned.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
