Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of carrot cleaning technology, specifically an automatic carrot cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Authorized Publication Number: "CN215455244U" A cleaning device for carrots includes a cleaning outer cylinder, a fixed bracket, a water storage tank, and a motor protection box. The fixed bracket is mounted on the cleaning outer cylinder, and the water storage tank is mounted on the fixed bracket, with the water storage tank located below the cleaning outer cylinder. The motor protection box is installed on one side of the cleaning outer cylinder. The beneficial effects of this utility model are that by connecting the rotating end of the drive motor to the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft drives the rotating cage to rotate, which in turn drives the carrots to rotate. This allows the fixed brush to work in conjunction with the spray nozzle to spray water and clean the carrots, improving cleaning efficiency, work efficiency, and cleanliness, enhancing impurity removal, and improving product quality. The fixed brush prevents damage to the carrot skin, and the water can flow back to the water storage tank through the L-shaped return pipe, reducing water waste and lowering costs.
[0003] While the aforementioned application improves cleaning efficiency to some extent by using a fixed brush and a spray nozzle to clean carrots, it requires shutting down the cleaning device, flipping the movable mesh plate to open the connection opening, and placing the carrots into or removing them from the rotating cage. This prevents continuous cleaning and collection of carrots, reducing cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, since carrots often have a lot of dirt on them, directly placing them in the rotating cage requires a long cleaning time to remove the dirt, further reducing overall cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems of needing to shut down the entire washing device before adding or removing carrots, and the need to spend a long time cleaning the surface stains of the carrots, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic carrot washing device.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an automatic carrot cleaning device, including a cleaning box, inside which are arranged two symmetrically distributed V-shaped fixing frames. The top surface of the left end of each V-shaped fixing frame is inclined, and the left end of the V-shaped fixing frame is fixedly connected to the cleaning box. A placement frame is fixedly installed on the right end of each V-shaped fixing frame, and the placement frame is fixedly connected to the cleaning box. Inside each V-shaped fixing frame are two V-shaped moving frames. The top ends of both the V-shaped fixing frame and the V-shaped moving frames have several evenly distributed U-shaped grooves. The bottom end of each V-shaped moving frame is provided with a driving mechanism. The driving mechanism includes four connecting blocks. The connecting block is fixedly connected to the V-shaped moving frame. A Z-shaped plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block.

A drain outlet is opened through both sides of the V-shaped plate. A drain pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drain outlet and passes through the cleaning box. A fixing block is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the second rotating shaft. The fixing block is fixedly connected to the mounting frame fixed on the cleaning box.
[0006] Preferably, the cleaning box has several evenly distributed stirring shafts rotatably extending through its front and rear sides. Several evenly distributed annular stirring blades are fixedly installed on the outside of each stirring shaft. A water tank is located on the outside of the cleaning box, and a water pump is fixedly installed at the top of the water tank.

An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning box near the dual-shaft motor, and a support plate is fixedly installed at the top edge of the L-shaped plate, with the support plate fixedly connected to the placement frame.
[0007] Preferably, an inclined plate is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning box away from the placement rack.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0009] 1. This application uses a drive mechanism to make the V-shaped moving frame move back and forth, and the cooperation between it and the V-shaped fixed frame realizes the automatic conveying of carrots. During the washing process, there is no need to interrupt the washing device to add or remove carrots, realizing uninterrupted conveying and cleaning of unwashed carrots, effectively improving the continuity of carrot washing, and thus improving carrot washing efficiency.
[0010] 2. This application uses a stirring blade to create a vortex in the water. The impact of the vortex initially cleans the impurities on the surface of the carrot. Then, the spray nozzles further clean the carrot, thereby shortening the washing time and improving the overall carrot washing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example: Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic carrot cleaning device, including a cleaning box 1. Inside the cleaning box 1, there are two symmetrically distributed V-shaped fixing frames 11. The top surface of the left end of the V-shaped fixing frame 11 is inclined. The left end of the V-shaped fixing frame 11 is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 1. The right end of the V-shaped fixing frame 11 is fixedly installed with a placement frame 12, which is fixedly connected to the cleaning box 1. Inside the V-shaped fixing frame 11, there are two V-shaped moving frames 13. The top ends of both the V-shaped fixing frame 11 and the V-shaped moving frame 13 have several evenly distributed U-shaped grooves 14. The bottom end of the V-shaped moving frame 13 is provided with a driving mechanism 2.
[0021] The drive mechanism 2 includes four connecting blocks 21, which are fixedly connected to the V-shaped moving frame 13. A Z-shaped plate 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting block 21. Two first rotating shafts 23 are fixedly installed on the side of the Z-shaped plate 22 away from the V-shaped moving frame 13. An eccentric wheel 24 is fixedly installed on the side of the first rotating shaft 23 away from the Z-shaped plate 22. The first rotating shaft 23 is located at the eccentric part of the eccentric wheel 24. A second rotating shaft 25 is fixedly installed in the middle of the eccentric wheel 24. The U-shaped groove 14 on the rear V-shaped fixed frame 11 is larger than the U-shaped groove 14 on the front V-shaped fixed frame 11, and the U-shaped groove 14 on the rear V-shaped moving frame 13 is larger than the U-shaped groove 14 on the front V-shaped moving frame 13. The two second rotating shafts 25 are connected by a synchronous drive transmission. The synchronous belt can be a toothed transmission belt and pulley, or a chain and sprocket, or other methods that can achieve synchronous rotation. The second rotating shafts 25 are driven by a drive motor. Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Note that the bottom of the Z-shaped plate 22 is located inside the cleaning box 1, and the top is located on the top surface of the cleaning box 1.
[0022] Several evenly distributed stirring shafts 3 are rotatably driven through both the front and rear sides of the cleaning box 1. Several evenly distributed annular stirring blades 31 are fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring shafts 3. A water tank 32 is provided on the outside of the cleaning box 1. A water pump 33 is fixedly installed at the top of the water tank 32. Pump pipes 34 are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower sides of the water pump 33. The lower pump pipe 34 is connected to the water tank 32. A water outlet pipe 35 is provided at the top of the cleaning box 1. Several nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet pipe 35. The water outlet pipe 35 is fixedly connected to the upper pump pipe 34. The nozzles are not attached to the upper part of the water outlet pipe 34. Figure 5 The numbers are then labeled.
[0023] A V-shaped plate 4 is fixedly installed on the lower inner wall of the cleaning box 1. Drain outlets 41 are provided on both sides of the V-shaped plate 4. A drain pipe 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of each drain outlet 41, penetrating the cleaning box 1. A removable piston is provided at the bottom end of the drain pipe 42. Figure 2 The solution is to install a V-shaped plate 4. When it is necessary to drain the water after cleaning in the cleaning box 1, simply pull out the piston at the bottom of the drain pipe 42. Under the guidance of the V-shaped plate 4, the cleaned water will automatically flow to the drain outlets 41 on both sides and then be discharged smoothly through the drain pipe 42.
[0024] A treatment tank 5 is located below the drain pipe 42. Inside the treatment tank 5 is a removable filter screen 51. In use, an external pipe can be connected to the bottom of the treatment tank 5 to discharge the cleaned water to other places. By setting up the filter screen 51, the impurities discharged from the cleaning box 1 can be effectively filtered. This not only prevents impurities from being directly discharged and polluting the environment, but also avoids clogging the pipe connected to the treatment tank 5, allowing the cleaned water to be discharged smoothly. When it is necessary to clean the impurities on the filter screen 51, the filter screen 51 can be directly removed from the treatment tank 5.
[0025] A dual-shaft motor 6 is provided on the side of the cleaning box 1 near the placement rack 12. The drive shaft of the dual-shaft motor 6 is connected to the stirring shaft 3 via a synchronous belt. Each stirring shaft 3 is connected to each other via a synchronous belt. By setting up the dual-shaft motor 6, when the dual-shaft motor 6 is started, the synchronous belt drives each stirring shaft 3 on both sides of the cleaning box 1 to rotate the corresponding stirring blade 31 simultaneously in the same direction. The synchronous belt can be a toothed transmission belt and pulley, or it can be a chain and sprocket or other methods that can achieve synchronous rotation.
[0026] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning box 1 near the dual-axis motor 6. A support plate 7 is fixedly installed at the top edge of the L-shaped plate. The support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the placement rack 12. By setting the support plate 7, the placement rack 12 is supported, increasing the stability of the placement rack 12 during operation, so that the placement rack 12 can continuously and stably perform its load-bearing function. The L-shaped plate is not attached to... Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The number 6 indicates that the dual-axis motor is fixed on the L-shaped plate.
[0027] A sloping plate 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning box 1 away from the placement rack 12. During use, a collection box can be placed below the sloping plate 8 to collect the cleaned carrots. The collection box is supported by an L-shaped frame. Figure 1 As can be seen, by setting the inclined plate 8, the cleaned carrots will naturally slide down from the inclined surface at the left end of the V-shaped fixing frame 11 and fall onto the inclined plate 8. Under the guidance of the inclined plate 8, the carrots can smoothly slide into the collection box, thereby achieving convenient collection of the cleaned carrots and effectively improving the collection efficiency in the carrot cleaning process.
[0028] The second rotating shaft 25 is externally fitted with a fixing block 26, which is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket fixed on the cleaning box 1. The fixing block 26 supports the second rotating shaft 25, increasing its stability during rotation. The mounting bracket is not attached to the mounting box. Figure 1 The winning number.
[0029] Working principle: In actual use, add an appropriate amount of water to the cleaning box 1. When it is necessary to clean the stains on the carrots, place multiple carrots on the placement rack 12 in sequence. Note that the thicker end of the carrot should be placed backward. After the carrots are placed, start the drive motor connected to the second rotating shaft 25 to make one of the second rotating shafts 25 rotate. Through the transmission of the synchronous belt, the other second rotating shaft 25 will also rotate synchronously. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 25 drives the corresponding eccentric wheel 24 and the first rotating shaft 23 to rotate. Since the first rotating shaft 23 is located at the eccentric part of the eccentric wheel 24, during the rotation of the first rotating shaft 23, it drives the Z-shaped plate 22, the connecting block 21, and the V-shaped moving frame 13 to move back and forth, thereby conveying the first carrot on the placement rack 12 forward and making it enter the U-shaped groove 14 at the rightmost end of the V-shaped fixed frame 11. As the V-shaped moving frame 13 continues to work, the carrots will be conveyed to the U-shaped groove 14 of the next V-shaped fixed frame 11 in sequence, thus realizing the automatic conveying of carrots.
[0030] During the conveying process, the dual-shaft motor 6 and water pump 33 need to be started. The start of the dual-shaft motor 6 causes the drive shaft to rotate, which, through the synchronous belt transmission, drives the stirring shafts 3 and stirring blades 31 on both sides of the cleaning box 1 to rotate together, stirring the water in the cleaning box 1 and causing the water to flow rapidly and irregularly, creating an impact force on the surface of the carrots and washing away the impurities attached to the surface of the carrots. This provides an initial cleaning of the carrots conveyed into the water, removing some of the dirt. As the conveying continues, the carrots that have undergone the initial cleaning will be sent to the bottom of the nozzle. At this time, the water pump 33 works to draw water from the water tank 32 and spray it out from the nozzle through the upper pump pipe 34 and the water outlet pipe 35, cleaning the carrots below again and further removing residual dirt.
[0031] As the V-shaped moving frame 13 conveys the carrots, the cleaned carrots will slide down the inclined surface at the left end of the V-shaped fixed frame 11 naturally, and then fall onto the inclined plate 8. Under the guidance of the inclined plate 8, the carrots will slide smoothly into the collection box, achieving automatic collection.
[0032] During the transport process, it is necessary to observe the number of unwashed carrots remaining on the placement rack 12 and replenish the unwashed carrots as needed. The placement of carrots is done manually.
[0033] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
