Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit washing equipment, specifically a fruit washing machine. Background Technology
[0002] Before processing, fruits need to be cleaned by a fruit washing machine. Since most fruits grow on vines or trees, there are fewer impurities on their surface. As a result, most fruit washing machines on the market can only clean the surface dust of the fruit. When cleaning fruits that grow in the ground, such as jicama, water chestnuts, and crystal radishes, the cleaning effect is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fruit washing machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0024] In the following description, embodiments of the fruit washing machine of this utility model will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] Figure 1-3 This invention illustrates a fruit washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, comprising:
[0026] Cleaning pool 1 and cleaning pool 2 are installed on the right side of cleaning pool 1. A chain plate cleaning conveyor 3 is installed between cleaning pool 1 and cleaning pool 2. Specifically, a filter circulating water tank is also included. The bottoms of cleaning pool 1, cleaning pool 2, and sewage pool 5 are all connected to the filter circulating water tank through pipes. The clean water filtered by the filter circulating water tank is pumped into the flushing device 7 and the inner cavity of cleaning pool 1 and cleaning pool 2 through a water pump. Through the setting of the filter circulating water tank, the water source can be recycled and the water consumption can be reduced. The filter circulating water tank only needs to be able to filter sewage and realize the recycling of water source. There are no specific requirements for the model.
[0027] This includes a powerful scrubbing box assembly 4, a wastewater tank 5, and a feeding hopper 6. The wastewater tank 5 is installed on the left side of the washing tank 1. The powerful scrubbing box assembly 4 is detachably installed on top of the wastewater tank 5. The feeding hopper 6 is installed on top of the powerful scrubbing box assembly 4. The detachable installation of the powerful scrubbing box assembly 4 allows for the selection of different powerful scrubbing box assemblies 4 according to the actual size of the fruit to be cleaned. This ensures that the spacing of the cleaning brush bristles 43 on both sides of the powerful scrubbing box assembly 4 is sufficient for a single fruit to pass through. This allows the brush rollers to clean each fruit individually and facilitates the replacement of the powerful scrubbing box assembly 4, thus meeting the needs of cleaning fruits of different sizes. A rinsing device 7 is installed on the top of the feeding hopper 6. The high-powered scrubbing box assembly 4 includes a scrubbing box 41. The scrubbing box 41 is fixedly installed with the sewage tank 5 and the feed hopper 6 by bolts. Sealing strips are provided at the connections between the scrubbing box 41 and the sewage tank 5 and the feed hopper 6 to prevent water leakage and ensure usability. Two sets of cooperating brush roller assemblies are installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the inner cavity of the scrubbing box 41. A mesh guide plate 44 is installed at the lower end of the inner cavity of the scrubbing box 41, with its bottom extending above the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 1. Specifically, the brush roller assembly consists of a rotating roller 42 and cleaning bristles 43. The rotating roller 42 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the scrubbing box 41, and its rear end extends to the outside of the scrubbing box 41. The rotating roller 42 and the scrubbing box 41... 1. The outer casing is equipped with a seal to prevent water inside the brush washing box 41 from flowing out along the surface of the rotating roller 42, affecting the service life of other components. Two adjacent rotating rollers 42 on the same side are connected by a belt pulley. Two motors 49 are installed on the outside of the brush washing box 41. The output shaft of each motor 49 is connected to either rotating roller 42 on one side via a belt pulley. Specifically, impurity removal components are installed on both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the brush washing box 41, which work in conjunction with the brush roller assembly. An impurity receiving hopper 47 is located at the bottom of the impurity removal component. The impurity receiving hopper 47 is detachably installed inside the inner cavity of the brush washing box 41, and a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the impurity receiving hopper 47. Specifically, the impurity removal component includes components fixedly installed inside the inner cavity of the brush washing box 41. Mounting plate 45, with multiple impurity removal teeth 46 fixedly mounted on its top. The opposite side of the impurity removal teeth 46 is inserted into the inner cavity of the brush roller assembly. Through the setting of the impurity removal assembly, impurities on the surface of the cleaning bristles 43 can be removed, preventing some harder impurities from damaging the surface of the fruit as the cleaning bristles 43 rotate, thus affecting the quality of the fruit after cleaning. Specifically, guide plates 48 are rotatably connected to the left and right sides of the top of the washing box 41. The top of the guide plates 48 is placed on the left and right sides of the bottom of the inner cavity of the feed hopper 6. Through the setting of the guide plates 48, the fruit in the feed hopper 6 can be guided, allowing the fruit to roll down between the two sets of brush roller assemblies along the surface of the guide plates 48, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the fruit.
[0028] Working Principle: When using this invention, the user pours fruit into the inner cavity of the feed hopper 6 and sprays water onto the fruit surface using the rinsing device 7. At this time, the motor 49 drives the rotating rollers 42 on both sides to rotate outwards in opposite directions. Utilizing the fruit's own gravity, the fruit passes between the two sets of brush rollers. The cleaning bristles 43 thoroughly scrub the surface of the fruit. During the scrubbing process, the cleaning bristles 43 come into contact with the surface of the fruit, causing the fruit to rotate within the inner cavity of the scrubbing box 41, thus achieving thorough scrubbing. In conjunction with the impurity removal teeth 46, impurities remaining between the cleaning bristles 43 can be scraped off. The impurities will slide down along the top of the impurity removal teeth 46 and fall into the inner cavity of the impurity receiving hopper 47 for collection. After washing, the fruit falls onto the top of the mesh guide plate 44 and enters the washing tank 1 for further washing. A stirring device can be installed in the washing tank 1 to improve the washing effect. The washed fruit is then conveyed to the washing tank 2 by the chain plate washing conveyor 3 for a second rinse, and finally output by the chain plate washing conveyor 3. The wastewater from the washing box 41 passes through the inner cavity of the mesh guide plate 44 and enters the wastewater tank 5 for collection and discharge. It should be noted that the device needs to be adjusted before use for fruits of different sizes. The distance between the two rotating rollers 42 should be adjusted according to the size of the fruit so that the fruit can fall between the two sets of rolling brush roller assemblies, ensuring that the fruit can be discharged more evenly during the washing process.
[0029] In summary, this fruit washing machine improves fruit washing efficiency by using the powerful scrubbing tank assembly 4 to scrub the fruit one by one. Combined with the two rinses in washing pool 1 and washing pool 2, the washing effect of the fruit is further enhanced.
[0030] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
