Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strawberry processing technology, specifically to a centralized feeding water tank for strawberry processing. Background Technology

[0002] Strawberry is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Fragaria* of the Rosaceae family, also known as pineapple strawberry, foreign strawberry, red strawberry, etc. Strawberry plants are generally 10-40 cm tall; the stem is shorter than or nearly equal to the leaves; the leaflets have short petioles, are obovate or rhomboid, and the petioles are densely covered with spreading yellow hairs; the inflorescence is a cyme, with white, nearly round or obovate-elliptic petals; there are 20 stamens and numerous pistils; the aggregate fruit is large and bright red; the achenes are pointed-ovate, smooth, and the seeds are spirally arranged on the flesh, oblong, yellow or yellowish-green. Flowering occurs from April to May, and fruiting from June to July.

[0003] In the current strawberry processing industry, the cleaning process is crucial to ensuring the quality of strawberry products. Traditional strawberry cleaning methods mostly rely on manual operation, where workers need to put strawberries one by one into the cleaning tank and turn them over. This method is not only inefficient and consumes a lot of manpower and time, but it is also difficult to ensure that each strawberry is thoroughly and evenly cleaned. Although some automated cleaning processes can achieve preliminary water rinsing, the strawberries are often floating in the cleaning tank, which cannot ensure that all surfaces of the strawberries are in full contact with the cleaning water. As a result, the stains on the surface of the strawberries are difficult to be thoroughly cleaned, which greatly affects the cleanliness and product quality of the strawberries after processing.

A driving component is fixed to one side wall of the cleaning water tank 1, and a linkage component is fixed to the outer wall of the driving component. A support crossbar 10 is fixed inside the linkage component. The support crossbar 10 can support the cleaning rotating plate 11 and drive it to rotate. The cleaning rotating plate 11 is rotated on the outer wall of the support crossbar 10. The cleaning rotating plate 11 can press the strawberries inside the cleaning water tank 1 into the cleaning water through the drive of the support crossbar 10 and the torsion spring set on the inner wall of the cleaning rotating plate 11, thereby assisting the cleaning water tank 1 in cleaning the strawberries. A limiting rack 12 is fixed to the inner side wall of the cleaning water tank 1. Torsion springs are set on the outer wall of the support crossbar 10 and the inner wall of the cleaning rotating plate 11, which can reset the cleaning rotating plate 11.

[0023] The driving component includes a drive motor 2. The drive motor 2 is fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. The drive motor 2 drives the driven rod 3 to rotate through the output shaft. The driven rod 3 is fixed to one end of the output shaft of the drive motor 2. The driven rod 3 drives the linkage pulley 4 to rotate through the drive motor 2. Two linkage pulleys 4 are fixed to both ends of the outer wall of the driven rod 3. The linkage belt 4 can drive the linkage belt 5 to rotate through the drive motor 2. The linkage belt 5 is wound around the outer wall of the linkage pulley 4. The linkage belt 5 can drive the sliding block 6 to move through the drive of the linkage pulley 4.

[0024] The linkage includes a sliding block 6, which is fixed to the outer wall of the linkage belt 5. The sliding block 6 can drive the support crossbar 7 to move through the linkage belt 5. A through hole is opened in one end of the sliding block 6, and the support crossbar 7 is installed through the through hole by a bearing. The support crossbar 7 supports the driven gear 8 and the cleaning turntable 9, and drives the cleaning turntable 9 to rotate through the driven gear 8. The driven gear 8 is fixed to one end of the support crossbar 7, and the driven gear 8 is limited by the rack 1. The limit of 2 can drive the support crossbar 7 to rotate.
