Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a food transport basket cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of technology, the level of mechanization in the food industry is increasing day by day, and the use of automated equipment in food transportation and sorting operations is becoming more and more common. During the operation of food sorting equipment, a large number of transport baskets are needed to receive and transport food. After a period of use, some impurities are easily left inside the transport baskets, which affects the quality of the food and usually requires cleaning.

[0003] Currently, the cleaning process for transport baskets in food sorting equipment generally involves manually collecting the baskets into the washing tank and cleaning them manually. This process is quite cumbersome, and the baskets need to be manually reset afterward, making the whole process time-consuming. More importantly, the food sorting equipment has to be shut down during the cleaning of the transport baskets, which greatly affects the efficiency of food sorting. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure relates to a food transport basket cleaning device, which solves the problem that in the current cleaning process of transport baskets in food sorting equipment, the common practice is to manually collect the transport baskets into the cleaning bucket and clean them manually. This process is cumbersome, and the transport baskets need to be manually reset afterward, which takes a long time.

[0005] In a first aspect, this disclosure provides a food transport basket cleaning device, specifically comprising: a main frame, an arc-shaped rigid pipe, cleaning nozzles, a water guiding hose, a movable frame, and a limiting pin; the main frame is fixedly installed on the food transport line, the arc-shaped rigid pipe is installed inside the main frame, and four cleaning nozzles are installed outside the arc-shaped rigid pipe, with the cleaning nozzles communicating with the interior of the arc-shaped rigid pipe; the water guiding hose is installed inside the main frame, and the arc-shaped rigid pipe is connected to a water supply pipeline through the water guiding hose; the movable frame is connected to the exterior of the main frame, and the bottom of the movable frame is connected to the arc-shaped rigid pipe; the limiting pin is connected inside the movable frame, the top of the arc-shaped rigid pipe is in the shape of a pull ring, and the bottom of the limiting pin contacts the main frame.

[0006] Furthermore, the main frame is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove inside, and the arc-shaped rigid tube is slidably connected to the arc-shaped sliding groove provided in the main frame. The angle range of the arc-shaped rigid tube sliding along the arc-shaped sliding groove is -45 to 45 degrees.

[0007] Furthermore, the main frame is provided with a through hole on the outside, which is connected to an arc-shaped sliding groove. A water guide hose passes through the through hole provided in the main frame, and the water outlet of the water guide hose is located in the arc-shaped sliding groove. When the transport basket on the food transport line passes through the inside of the main frame, the inside of the transport basket is cleaned by the pure water sprayed by the cleaning nozzle, reducing the residue of impurities inside the transport basket and effectively preventing impurities from adhering to the food.

[0008] Furthermore, the movable frame slides in contact with the main frame, a force-bearing block is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped rigid tube, and a connecting hole is provided at the bottom of the movable frame, with the force-bearing block connected to the connecting hole provided in the movable frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the movable frame is provided with a guide hole, and the limiting pin slides through the guide hole provided in the movable frame.

[0010] Furthermore, a spring is fitted outside the limiting pin, with the bottom of the spring contacting the limiting pin and the top of the spring contacting the inside of the movable frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the main frame is provided with positioning grooves at equal intervals around its outer side. The bottom end of the limiting pin is inserted into the positioning groove provided on the main frame. After the arc-shaped rigid tube is rotated and adjusted, the limiting pin and the positioning groove are in the same position. The limiting pin moves downward under the influence of the spring force, so that the bottom end of the limiting pin is inserted into the positioning groove. The arc-shaped rigid tube is fixed by the limiting pin to ensure the stability of the arc-shaped rigid tube.

[0012] This utility model provides a food transport basket cleaning device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In use, this invention automatically sprays purified water from cleaning nozzles as the transport baskets move through the main frame on the food transport line, thoroughly cleaning the interior of the baskets. This design significantly reduces residual impurities inside the baskets, preventing them from adhering to the food and ensuring food quality and safety. Considering the different shapes and sizes of various transport baskets, we have specially designed an adjustable curved rigid tube. By adjusting the angle and position of the curved rigid tube, the spray direction of the cleaning nozzles can be changed, allowing it to better adapt to various types of transport baskets, meet different cleaning needs, and further improve the hygiene standards and work efficiency of the food transport line.

[0014] Furthermore, in the adjustment mechanism of the curved rigid tube, the guide hole plays a crucial guiding role, precisely directing the movement trajectory of the limit pin. Simultaneously, the spring, as a key elastic element, provides a stable and continuous elastic restoring force for the limit pin. After the curved rigid tube has undergone precise rotational adjustment and reached the predetermined position, the limit pin is perfectly aligned with the positioning groove. At this point, under the thrust generated by the spring, the limit pin begins to move downwards smoothly, its bottom end accurately inserting into the positioning groove. This action ensures a tight fit between the limit pin and the curved rigid tube, thereby achieving a secure fixation of the curved rigid tube and greatly guaranteeing the stability of the curved rigid tube during operation.

[0015] Furthermore, when further adjustment of the curved rigid tube is needed to adapt to different cleaning requirements or operating environments, the operator simply applies an upward pulling force to the limit pin. The spring will then stretch and contract accordingly, providing the necessary power for the limit pin to move upward. As the bottom end of the limit pin gradually separates from the positioning groove, the previously firmly locked curved rigid tube is released and returns to a state of free rotation. In this way, the operator can easily rotate and adjust the curved rigid tube again according to actual needs, thereby precisely changing the spray direction of the cleaning nozzle and achieving more flexible and efficient cleaning operations.

When the transport basket on the food transport line passes through the inside of the main frame 1, the pure water sprayed by the cleaning nozzle 3 cleans the inside of the transport basket, reduces the residue of impurities inside the transport basket, and effectively avoids impurities adhering to the food and affecting the food quality. The arc-shaped rigid tube 2 can be adjusted according to the different types of transport baskets to change the orientation of the cleaning nozzle 3, so as to better suit the cleaning needs of different types of transport baskets.

[0029] In Example 2, based on Example 1, the movable frame 5 slides in contact with the main frame 1. A force-bearing block 21 is provided on the outside of the arc-shaped rigid tube 2.
