Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of morel mushroom cleaning technology, and specifically relates to an automatic cleaning device for dried morel mushrooms based on bubble technology. Background Technology

[0002] Dried morel mushrooms are a prized edible fungus, widely popular for their unique taste and rich nutritional value. They are rich in nutrients and health benefits, including protein, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals; they are particularly suitable for those with indigestion, weakened immune systems, and the elderly, as they help promote intestinal motility, boost immunity, and provide essential nutrients.

[0003] Currently, the complex structure of dried morel mushrooms makes cleaning them difficult. The surface of morel mushrooms is covered with dense, honeycomb-like gills, which easily trap dirt, dust, and mycelial debris after drying. Traditional water washing methods struggle to penetrate these gills, requiring repeated scrubbing or cleaning with a toothbrush, which is time-consuming and laborious. Furthermore, the hollow stem structure easily absorbs water and swells. The stem's internal hollow tubular structure means that prolonged washing can cause it to absorb water and swell, resulting in a softened texture, nutrient loss, and increased weight, negatively impacting the taste and texture during cooking.

[0004] Traditional cleaning methods have limitations. Soaking for at least 30 minutes is usually necessary to soften impurities within the folds, but prolonged soaking leads to the loss of flavor compounds. Water rinsing, on the other hand, lacks sufficient force to remove dried impurities, requiring manual squeezing which can damage the mushrooms. Some vendors use starch-based or baking soda-based solutions, but these may leave chemical residues, affecting food safety. Furthermore, the alkaline environment can destroy vitamins in morel mushrooms. Therefore, a more efficient and faster cleaning device for dried morel mushrooms is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic cleaning device for dried morel mushrooms based on bubble technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic cleaning device for dried morel mushrooms based on bubble technology, comprising an outer shell, an inner shell inside the outer shell, a cleaning frame inside the inner shell, a sieve frame fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning frame, a collar fixedly installed at the bottom of the sieve frame, a connecting rod extending through to the bottom of the inner shell sleeved inside the collar, a connecting ring rotatably sleeved on the surface of the cleaning frame via a bearing, side blocks fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting ring, one end of the side block extending through the inner shell into the outer shell, vertical plates fixedly connected to the inner shell on both sides of the side block, and an electric telescopic rod at the bottom of the side block.

[0007] Preferably, a maintenance plate is bolted to the surface of the outer shell, and ultrasonic transducers are bolted to both the front and rear sides of the inner shell, with the number of maintenance plates corresponding to the number of ultrasonic transducers.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the inner shell is connected to a drain pipe that extends to one side of the outer shell, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe on one side of the drain pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the housing is equipped with a rotary motor, and the output end of the rotary motor is fixedly connected to the connecting rod through a coupling.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting rod and the inner shell are rotatably connected to each other via bearings, a support leg is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner shell, and a support ring that is fixedly connected to the outer shell is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the rotating motor.

[0011] Preferably, a snap-fit ​​strip is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod, and a snap-fit ​​groove is provided inside the collar for engaging with the snap-fit ​​strip.

[0012] Preferably, sliders are fixedly installed on both sides of the side block, a groove is provided inside the vertical plate to cooperate with the sliders for sliding, a pull ring is fixedly installed on the top of the side block, and a water injection mark is fixedly installed inside the inner shell.

[0013] Preferably, the output end of the electric telescopic rod is in contact with the bottom of the side block, and a second support ring is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the electric telescopic rod, and the second support ring is fixedly connected to the inner shell.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. Before cleaning morel mushrooms, this invention involves injecting an appropriate amount of water into the inner shell. The operator holds the cleaning frame pull ring and moves it to the working position. After loading an appropriate amount of morel mushrooms, the cleaning frame is then aligned with the inner shell. The cleaning frame is vertically inserted into the inner shell, ensuring that the side blocks fall between the two vertical plates, while the slider slides into the groove. If there is an angular deviation when the collar and connecting rod engage, the cleaning frame can be rotated while the collar is supported to adjust the engagement angle between the engaging strip and the engaging groove until the collar is fully engaged with the connecting rod surface, achieving rapid positioning.

[0016] 2. In this invention, a rotating motor drives a connecting rod to rotate, which in turn drives the collar, cleaning frame, and screen frame to rotate synchronously through a snap-fit ​​structure. The morel mushrooms undergo lateral tumbling in the cleaning solution, increasing the probability of impurities within the folds coming into contact with the water flow, and also improving the cleaning coverage of corner areas. During this process, the ultrasonic transducer excites the cleaning water to generate dense cavitation bubbles. When these bubbles burst, they generate instantaneous high pressure and localized high temperature, effectively removing mud and sand deep within the folds and the biofilm on the surface of the mushroom. Compared to traditional soaking methods, ultrasonic cleaning reduces residual impurities within the folds and shortens the cleaning time.

[0017] 3. After cleaning, this utility model allows the electric telescopic rod to extend and move the side blocks upwards. At this time, the screen frame will be pushed out of the water, and the pull ring will be exposed on the top of the inner shell for easy use. This allows for the drainage of morel mushrooms after cleaning. If the water inside the inner shell does not meet the discharge standard, it can be reused. This not only facilitates the drainage of morel mushrooms and prevents them from dripping water onto the surrounding environment and making the ground slippery, but also saves energy through water reuse.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] refer to Figures 1-6 An automatic cleaning device for dried morel mushrooms based on bubble technology includes an outer shell 1, an inner shell 2 inside the outer shell 1, a cleaning frame 3 inside the inner shell 2, a sieve frame 301 fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning frame 3, a collar 402 fixedly installed at the bottom of the sieve frame 301, a connecting rod 401 extending through to the bottom of the inner shell 2 sleeved inside the collar 402, a connecting ring 5 rotatably sleeved on the surface of the cleaning frame 3 via a bearing, side blocks 6 fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting ring 5, one end of the side block 6 extending through the inner shell 2 into the interior of the outer shell 1, vertical plates 7 fixedly connected to the inner shell 2 on both sides of the side block 6, and an electric telescopic rod 8 at the bottom of the side block 6. Before cleaning the morel mushrooms, an appropriate amount of clean water is injected into the inner shell 2. The operator holds the pull ring 9 of the cleaning frame 3 and moves it to the working position, loads an appropriate amount of morel mushrooms, and then connects the cleaning frame 3 with the inner shell 2. The cleaning frame 3 is vertically inserted into the inner shell 2, ensuring that the side block 6 falls between the two vertical plates 7, while the slider 702 slides into the groove 701. If there is an angular deviation when the collar 402 engages with the connecting rod 401, the cleaning frame 3 can be rotated while the collar 5 is supported, adjusting the engagement angle between the locking strip 403 and the locking groove 404 until the collar 402 is fully engaged with the surface of the connecting rod 401, achieving rapid positioning. The rotating motor 4 drives the connecting rod 401 to rotate, which drives the collar 402, the cleaning frame 3, and the screen frame 301 to rotate synchronously through the locking structure. The morel mushrooms undergo lateral tumbling in the cleaning solution, increasing the probability of impurities in the folds coming into contact with the water flow, and also improving the cleaning coverage of corner areas. During this process, the ultrasonic transducer 203 excites the cleaning water to generate dense cavitation bubbles. When the bubbles burst, they generate instantaneous high pressure and local high temperature, effectively peeling away the mud and sand deep in the folds and the biofilm on the surface of the mushroom. Compared to traditional soaking methods, ultrasonic cleaning can reduce residual impurities in folds and shorten cleaning time.

[0028] A maintenance plate 101 is bolted to the surface of the outer shell 1, and ultrasonic transducers 203 are bolted to the front and rear sides of the inner shell 2. The number of maintenance plates 101 corresponds to the number of ultrasonic transducers 203. Opening the maintenance plates 101 will facilitate the maintenance of ultrasonic transducers 203 by the staff.

[0029] The bottom of the inner shell 2 is connected to a drain pipe 201 that extends to one side of the outer shell 1. A valve 202 is installed on the drain pipe 201. The drain pipe 201 will discharge the sewage inside the inner shell 2. The valve 202 works in conjunction with the drain pipe 201 to control the discharge.

[0030] The housing 1 is equipped with a rotary motor 4. The output end of the rotary motor 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 401 through a coupling. The operation of the rotary motor 4 will drive the connecting rod 401 to rotate.

[0031] The connecting rod 401 and the inner shell 2 are rotatably connected to each other through bearings. The bottom of the inner shell 2 is fixedly installed with a support leg 204. The surface of the rotating motor 4 is fixedly fitted with a support ring 405 that is fixedly connected to the outer shell 1. The connecting rod 401 is smoothly rotated inside the inner shell 2 through the bearings. The support ring 405 supports and fixes the rotating motor 4.

[0032] A snap-fit ​​strip 403 is fixedly installed on the surface of the connecting rod 401. The collar 402 has a snap-fit ​​groove 404 inside for engaging with the snap-fit ​​strip 403. The engagement of the snap-fit ​​strip 403 and the snap-fit ​​groove 404 allows the collar 402 to move on the surface of the connecting rod 401 and also allows the collar 402 to rotate synchronously with the connecting rod 401 during the engagement.

[0033] Slider 702 is fixedly installed on both sides of the side block 6. The interior of the vertical plate 7 is provided with a sliding groove 701 for sliding with the slider 702. A pull ring 9 is fixedly installed on the top of the side block 6. A water filling mark 10 is fixedly installed inside the inner shell 2. The sliding connection between the slider 702 and the sliding groove 701 will position and connect the side block 6 with the two vertical plates 7. This will facilitate the movement of the side block 6 between the vertical plates 7. The water filling mark 10 will allow the operator to visually check the water filling requirements inside the inner shell 2.

[0034] The output end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is in contact with the bottom of the side block 6. A support ring 801 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the electric telescopic rod 8. The support ring 801 is fixedly connected to the inner shell 2. The operation of the electric telescopic rod 8 will drive the side block 6 to move longitudinally through the support contact with the side block 6.

[0035] Brief description of the usage process: Before cleaning morel mushrooms, inject an appropriate amount of water into the inner shell 2. The operator holds the cleaning frame 3 by the pull ring 9 and moves it to the working position. After loading an appropriate amount of morel mushrooms, connect the cleaning frame 3 to the inner shell 2. In the initial state, the electric telescopic rod 8 is in the retracted position. Pull the pull ring 9 to make the cleaning frame 3 vertically insert into the inner shell 2, ensuring that the side block 6 falls between the two vertical plates 7, and at the same time, the slider 702 slides into the groove 701. Then, gently place the cleaning frame 3 so that the side block 6 smoothly abuts against the top of the electric telescopic rod 8. If there is an angular deviation when the collar 402 and the connecting rod 401 are engaged, the cleaning frame 3 can be rotated while the collar 5 is supported to adjust the engagement angle between the engaging strip 403 and the engaging groove 404 until the collar 402 is completely engaged with the surface of the connecting rod 401, achieving quick positioning. The rotating motor 4 drives the connecting rod 401 to rotate, and through the engaging structure, the collar 402, the cleaning frame 3, and the screen frame 301 rotate synchronously. Morel mushrooms undergo lateral tumbling in the cleaning solution, increasing the probability of impurities within the folds coming into contact with the water flow. During this process, the ultrasonic transducer 203 excites the cleaning water to generate dense cavitation bubbles. When these bubbles burst, they generate instantaneous high pressure and localized high temperature, effectively stripping away silt and biofilm deep within the folds and from the surface of the mushrooms. After cleaning, the electrically operated telescopic rod 8 extends, causing the side block 6 to move upwards. At this point, the screen frame 301 is pushed out of the water, the collar 402 disengages from the connecting rod 401, and the pull ring 9 is exposed on the top of the inner shell 2 for easy access. This allows for drainage of the cleaned morel mushrooms, and if the water inside the inner shell 2 does not meet discharge standards, it can be reused.
