Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chili cleaning technology, and specifically relates to a chili cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Chili processing involves transforming fresh chilies into various products to extend their shelf life and increase their use value. These processed products can meet the needs of different consumers and have a wide range of applications, from condiments to medicine. When processing chilies, chili washing equipment is needed to pre-clean the chilies to be processed.
[0003] Existing chili washing devices work by pouring the chilies to be washed onto a feed hopper, which then transports them via a belt conveyor into a washing tank. During transport, a spray system on the washing tank sprays the chilies, using the impact force of the water flow to remove surface dirt and help decompose pesticide residues. However, in existing chili washing devices, as the chilies fall from the feed hopper onto the belt conveyor, they tend to accumulate on the conveyor belt due to gravity. This results in uneven distribution of the chilies during transport, making it difficult for the lower-lying chilies to be evenly washed by the spray system, thus affecting the washing effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a chili washing device, which uses the horizontal reciprocating movement of a flattening frame to flatten the chilies to be washed, so that the chilies can be evenly spread on the conveyor belt, thereby enabling the chilies to be washed quickly and efficiently.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a chili pepper washing device, including a frame, a washing tank on the frame, multiple mounting brackets on the washing tank, a control box on the upper side of each mounting bracket, a guide groove in the center of the bottom of each control box, a sliding seat slidably mounted in each guide groove, multiple support rods on the lower side of each sliding seat, a flattening frame detachably mounted between two adjacent support rods, a drive mechanism on the control box for driving the reciprocating movement of the flattening frame; multiple material blocking bars on the outer side of the conveyor belt; and multiple support feet on the lower surface of the frame.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drive mechanism includes drive seats symmetrically arranged on each sliding seat, a rotating shaft rotatably arranged in the center of the control box, symmetrically distributed cams fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft, a guide rail arranged inside each control box, the sliding seats slidingly connected to the adjacent guide rails respectively, a spring arranged between the inner wall of the control box and the sliding seat, and each spring sleeved on the outer side of the guide rail; a servo motor is arranged on the outer side of each control box, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to the adjacent rotating shafts respectively by couplings.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a belt conveyor is provided on the upper side of the inside of the cleaning tank, and a conveyor belt is driven on the belt conveyor. A feed hopper is provided on the left side of the cleaning tank, and a discharge hopper is provided on the right side of the cleaning tank. Both the feed hopper and the discharge hopper are installed in conjunction with the conveyor belt.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the cleaning tank is provided with symmetrically distributed support frames, each support frame is provided with a conveying pipe on its upper side, multiple cleaning pipes are provided between adjacent conveying pipes, multiple nozzles are provided on each cleaning pipe, and a connector is provided in the middle of each conveying pipe.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0010] Firstly, the output shaft of the servo motor drives the rotating shaft connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the cam and the cooperation of the drive seat cause the sliding seat to slide with the guide rail and the sliding seat to slide with the guide groove. In turn, the sliding seat drives the paving frame to move horizontally back and forth continuously through the support rod.
[0011] Secondly, the chili peppers to be washed are poured onto the feed hopper, and then fall onto the conveyor belt through the feed hopper. The chili peppers are spread evenly on the conveyor belt by the horizontal reciprocating movement of the flattening frame, so that the chili peppers can be washed quickly and efficiently.
[0012] Thirdly, after the chili peppers are washed, the horizontal reciprocating movement of the leveling frame near the discharge hopper re-levels the chili peppers to be washed, so that the chili peppers that have been disturbed by the water flow can be evenly spread on the conveyor belt again, and then the chili peppers can be quickly and efficiently transported to the upper side of the discharge hopper and discharged through the discharge hopper.
[0013] Fourth, connect the connector to an external water source so that the external water enters the inside of the delivery pipe through the connector and is then sprayed out through the nozzles set on the outside of the cleaning pipe to quickly and efficiently clean the flattened peppers.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.
[0021] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the system includes a frame 101, a cleaning tank 102 mounted on the frame 101, multiple mounting brackets 201 mounted on the cleaning tank 102, a control box 202 mounted on the upper side of each mounting bracket 201, a guide groove 203 opened in the middle of the bottom of each control box 202, a sliding seat 204 slidably mounted in each guide groove 203, multiple support rods 205 mounted on the lower side of each sliding seat 204, and a flattening frame 206 detachably mounted between two adjacent support rods 205. The control box 202 is also equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the reciprocating movement of the flattening frame 206; multiple material blocking bars are mounted on the outer side of the conveyor belt 104.
[0022] like Figure 2 , 3As shown, the drive mechanism includes drive seats 209 symmetrically arranged on each sliding seat 204. A rotating shaft 210 is rotatably arranged in the center of the control box 202. A symmetrically distributed cam 211 is fixedly sleeved on the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft 210. A guide rail 207 is arranged inside each control box 202. The sliding seats 204 are slidably connected to the adjacent guide rails 207. A spring 208 is arranged between the inner wall of the control box 202 and the sliding seat 204. Each spring 208 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rail 207. A servo motor 212 is arranged on the outer side of each control box 202. The output shaft of the servo motor 212 is fixed to the adjacent rotating shaft 210 by a coupling.
[0023] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a belt conveyor 103 is installed on the upper side of the inside of the cleaning tank 102. A conveyor belt 104 is driven on the belt conveyor 103. A feed hopper 105 is installed on the left side of the cleaning tank 102, and a discharge hopper 106 is installed on the right side of the cleaning tank 102. Both the feed hopper 105 and the discharge hopper 106 are installed in conjunction with the conveyor belt 104. Symmetrically distributed support frames 107 are installed on the cleaning tank 102. A conveying pipe 108 is installed on the upper side of each support frame 107. Multiple cleaning pipes 109 are installed between adjacent conveying pipes 108. Multiple nozzles 110 are installed on each cleaning pipe 109. A connector 111 is installed in the middle of each conveying pipe 108.
[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the lower surface of the frame 101 is provided with multiple legs.
[0025] In use, the output shaft of the servo motor 212 drives the rotating shaft 210 connected to it to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 210 to drive the cam 211 on its outer arc surface to rotate. The elastic force of the springs 208 on both sides causes the cam 211 to contact the drive seat 209. Then, the rotation of the cam 211 and the cooperation of the drive seat 209 cause the sliding seat 204 to slide with the guide rail 207 and the sliding seat 204 to slide with the guide groove 203. In turn, the sliding seat 204 drives the flattening frame 206 to move horizontally back and forth continuously through the support rod 205.
[0026] Connect connector 111 to an external water source, allowing external water to enter the conveying pipe 108 through connector 111 and then be sprayed out through nozzles 110 on the outside of the cleaning pipe 109; control the operation of belt conveyor 103, causing belt conveyor 103 to drive conveyor belt 104 to rotate; then pour the peppers to be cleaned onto feed hopper 105, and then let them fall onto conveyor belt 104 through feed hopper 105, where the rotating conveyor belt 104 transports the peppers to be cleaned; the peppers are then transported from near feed hopper 105... The horizontal reciprocating movement of the flattening frame 206 on the side is used to flatten the peppers to be washed, so that the peppers can be evenly spread on the conveyor belt 104, thereby enabling the peppers to be washed quickly and efficiently. After the peppers are washed, the horizontal reciprocating movement of the flattening frame 206 on the side near the discharge hopper 106 is used to flatten the peppers to be washed again, so that the peppers that have been disturbed by the water flow can be evenly spread on the conveyor belt 104 again, thereby enabling the peppers to be quickly and efficiently transported to the upper side of the discharge hopper 106, and then discharged through the discharge hopper 106.
