[0002] In the sugar-making process using sugar beets, the sugar beets need to be washed in the early stages to remove the dirt from their surface. Because sugar beets have a high dirt content, traditional washing equipment cannot guarantee a thorough cleaning in one pass, requiring the sugar beets to be processed multiple times to ensure they meet the required standards.

[0003] Meanwhile, the large amount of soil from the beets also leads to serious internal contamination of the cleaning equipment. After long-term use, the cleaning equipment cannot completely clean the beets, requiring frequent maintenance and affecting continuous production in the factory. Utility Model Content:

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a two-stage beet cleaning machine. This equipment performs two-stage cleaning on beets. After initial filtration of mud and sand in a water tank, the beets enter the second-stage cleaning process. The second-stage cleaning mainly uses a combination of physical friction and rinsing to ensure the cleaning effect while achieving the cleaning function of the equipment itself, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A two-stage beet washing machine includes a primary washing tank, a gas generator, a screw conveyor, a conveying trough, a secondary washing tank, washing rollers, a rinsing top cover, nozzles, and spray pipes. The gas generator is located on one side of the primary washing tank and is connected to an exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe leads into the primary washing tank. A discharge port is located on one end of the side wall of the primary washing tank and is connected to the inlet end of the inclined conveying trough. A screw conveyor is installed inside the conveying trough, and the discharge end of the conveying trough is located above the inlet end of the secondary washing tank.

[0007] The secondary cleaning tank contains one or more cleaning rollers, the surface of which is covered with bristles. The shaft of the cleaning roller is connected to a drive motor, causing the cleaning roller to rotate in the direction of the discharge end. The secondary cleaning tank is covered with a rinsing top cover. Spray nozzles are arranged and fixed below the rinsing top cover. The spray nozzles are connected to the water supply end through spray pipes.

[0008] Preferably, a water pump is provided at the bottom of the primary cleaning tank; the water pump is connected to both ends of the primary cleaning tank through water pipes, and the water in the primary cleaning tank moves towards the discharge port through the water pump.

[0009] Preferably, the primary cleaning tank is connected to a water pump pipe and a water inlet pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the secondary cleaning tank is provided with a drainage trough; the bottom of the drainage trough is connected to one end of a drain pipe; and the other end of the drain pipe is connected to a sewage tank.

[0011] Preferably, the discharge end of the secondary cleaning tank is provided with a baffle curtain; the discharge end of the secondary cleaning tank is fixed with a discharge port with a flared structure.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Gas is introduced into the cleaning tank using a gas generator, causing the beets in the primary cleaning tank to float and tumble, which helps to retain most of the mud and sand in the primary cleaning tank. After primary cleaning, the beets enter the secondary cleaning tank. In the secondary cleaning tank, the cleaning rollers rotate and rub against the surface of the beets, moving the beets forward. The nozzles clean the beets while also rinsing the cleaning rollers.

[0014] 2. A water pump is used to make the water in the primary cleaning tank flow, and the beets move along the flow direction to the discharge port of the primary cleaning tank, which facilitates the movement of the beets. Attached image description:

[0020] In the diagram, 1 is the primary cleaning tank, 2 is the gas generator, 3 is the screw conveyor, 4 is the conveying trough, 5 is the secondary cleaning tank, 6 is the cleaning roller, 7 is the flushing top cover, 8 is the nozzle, 9 is the spray pipe, 10 is the water pump, 11 is the water suction pipe, 12 is the water inlet pipe, 13 is the drainage trough, 14 is the drainage pipe, 15 is the baffle, 16 is the discharge port, and 17 is the exhaust pipe. Detailed implementation method:

[0021] like Figure 1-4As shown, a two-stage beet washing machine can perform two-stage cleaning of beets. A gas generator 2 is installed on one side of the primary washing tank 1; the gas generator 2 has an exhaust port, and one end of the exhaust pipe 17 is connected to the exhaust port; the other end of the exhaust pipe 17 enters the primary washing tank 1. The water in the primary washing tank 1 is affected by the gas, causing the beets in the primary washing tank 1 to float and roll, thus cleaning and moving them. A discharge port 16 is opened on one side wall of the primary washing tank 1; the discharge port 16 is connected to the inlet end of the inclined conveying trough 4; a screw conveyor 3 is installed in the conveying trough 4. A water pump 10 is installed at the bottom of the primary washing tank 1; the water pump 10 is connected to both ends of the primary washing tank 1 through water pipes. After the water pump 10 is started, water is pumped from one side and water is fed in from the other side, forming a circulation. After the water in the tank has a flow direction, the beets can move along the flow direction; specifically, the water in the primary washing tank 1 moves towards the discharge port 16 through the water pump 10, and the beets can also be smoothly collected at the discharge port 16. To prevent small beet tubers from entering the pipes, a filter screen can be placed over the outlet. Since the water contains sediment, a mud pump or similar device can be used for the water pump 10. Furthermore, the primary cleaning tank 1 is connected to a suction pipe 11 and an inlet pipe 12; the suction pipe 11 is responsible for draining the water from the primary cleaning tank 1, and the inlet pipe 12 is responsible for replacing the water source. The inlet pipe 12 is connected to the water supply line, and the suction pipe 11 uses a pump to ultimately discharge the wastewater into the sewage tank.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the discharge end of the conveying trough 4 is located above the inlet end of the secondary cleaning tank 5; beets are discharged downwards from the discharge end into the secondary cleaning tank 5. Inside the secondary cleaning tank 5, one or more cleaning rollers 6 are arranged, and the surface of the cleaning rollers 6 is covered with bristles; the shaft of the cleaning roller 6 is connected to a drive motor, causing the cleaning roller 6 to rotate along the discharge end direction; the beets can move along the cleaning rollers 6 towards the discharge end of the secondary cleaning tank 5 and are subjected to friction. A rinsing top cover 7 covers the upper part of the secondary cleaning tank 5; spray nozzles 8 are arranged and fixed below the rinsing top cover 7; the spray nozzles 8 are connected to the water supply end through a spray pipe 9. The spray nozzles 8 clean the beets and the cleaning rollers 6. A drainage trough 13 is provided at the bottom of the secondary cleaning tank 5; the cleaned water passes through the cleaning rollers 6 into the drainage trough 13 below, and the bottom of the drainage trough 13 is connected to one end of a drain pipe 14; the other end of the drain pipe 14 is connected to a sewage tank. A baffle 15 is provided at the discharge end of the secondary cleaning tank 5 to prevent splashing during spraying. The discharge end of the secondary cleaning tank 5 is fixed with a flared discharge port 16. Unless otherwise described above, the fixing method is welded or threaded using common technical means employed by industry professionals.

[0023] The working principle is as follows:

[0024] The sugar beets enter the primary cleaning tank 1 for initial cleaning, removing most of the dirt from their surface. Since there are no equipment components in the primary cleaning tank, contamination of the cleaning equipment is avoided; only the water in the primary cleaning tank 1 needs to be changed periodically. The sugar beets are then transported to the secondary cleaning tank 5 by a screw conveyor 3 for fine washing. This secondary washing utilizes physical friction for a more thorough clean, and the combined effect of spray rinsing prevents the washed-off dirt from accumulating inside the equipment, ensuring stable operation of the cleaning equipment.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
