Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fungal cleaning, specifically to an automatic fungal cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fungal processing, fungal cleaning is a crucial pretreatment step. Currently, traditional fungal cleaning methods mainly rely on manual operation or simple mechanical devices. Manual cleaning is inefficient, labor-intensive, and inconsistent in cleaning results. Existing automated cleaning equipment has several shortcomings. For example, during the cleaning process, fungi, due to their low density, tend to float on the surface, preventing them from fully contacting the cleaning water and hindering comprehensive and effective cleaning, thus affecting the cleanliness quality of the fungi. Furthermore, some equipment lacks targeted cleaning designs, failing to meet the cleaning needs of different fungi. Additionally, the low cleaning efficiency and automation level of the equipment increase production costs and make it difficult to adapt to the requirements of large-scale industrial production. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of automated fungal cleaning equipment to solve the aforementioned problems in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic fungal cleaning device that solves the problem that fungi float on the water surface during existing cleaning operations, hindering effective cleaning. The transmission mechanism in the upper cleaning system employs a bent structure, which, in conjunction with the rinsing mechanism, allows the fungi to undergo initial soaking and cleaning in the cleaning chamber during transmission. Then, upon reaching the inclined section, they are subjected to a second, powerful rinse by the rinsing nozzles. This achieves a multi-stage, comprehensive cleaning process, further enhancing the thoroughness and completeness of the cleaning.

[0004] This invention is achieved by constructing an automatic fungal cleaning device, which comprises a lower cleaning device and an upper cleaning mechanism located within the lower cleaning device.

[0005] The lower cleaning device has a cleaning chamber for holding water, and the upper cleaning mechanism corresponds to the cleaning chamber.

[0006] The upper cleaning mechanism consists of a frame, with the left end of the frame serving as the inlet for feeding the fungi to be cleaned and the right end serving as the outlet for the cleaned fungi. A mesh transmission mechanism is installed at the lower end of the frame, and a rinsing mechanism is located on the side of the frame closest to the outlet. The transmission mechanism has a bent structure, with a horizontal front section at the bottom of the frame and an inclined rear section corresponding to the area below the rinsing mechanism. Two sets of pressing drums are installed at the front end of the frame to press the fungi into the water. The pressing drums press the fungi floating on the water surface into the water by rotating.

[0007] According to the automatic fungal cleaning device described in this application, the pressing drum is mounted on the frame through a bearing seat and is driven to rotate by an external motor. The pressing drum consists of discs at both ends and an arc-shaped pressing plate in the middle, with multiple rows of water filter holes opened on the arc-shaped pressing plate.

[0008] According to the automatic fungal cleaning device described in this application, the rinsing mechanism comprises two sets of rinsing seats fixed on the frame, three sets of flushing pipes arranged horizontally between the rinsing seats, and a water inlet provided on the outside of the rinsing seats. The water inlet is connected to the three sets of flushing pipes respectively. Multiple rinsing nozzles are installed on the lower side of the three sets of flushing pipes. The fungi in the inclined section of the transmission mechanism are rinsed by the rinsing nozzles, that is, rinsed before being output through the output end.

[0009] According to the automatic fungal cleaning device described in this application, the outer side of the cleaning chamber is provided with multiple sets of control cylinders that can lift and lower the upper cleaning mechanism as a whole; the actuating end of the control cylinder is connected to the frame of the upper cleaning mechanism.

[0010] According to the present application, an automatic fungal cleaning device is characterized in that: the cleaning chamber is supported by supporting columns on all four sides; and a garbage collection bin is provided on the outside of the cleaning chamber.

[0011] An automatic fungal cleaning device according to this application is characterized in that the cleaning chamber is made of stainless steel.

[0012] This utility model has the following advantages: The automatic fungal cleaning equipment provided in this application has significant beneficial effects. First, by setting up a pressing drum, its unique disc and arc-shaped pressing plate structure, combined with the water filter hole design, can press the fungi floating on the water surface into the water during rotation, ensuring that the fungi are fully soaked. This effectively solves the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by floating fungi, greatly improving the cleaning effect and quality. Moreover, the rotation of the pressing drum also exerts force on the fungi, further enhancing the cleaning effect. Second, the transmission mechanism in the upper cleaning mechanism adopts a bending structure, which, combined with the setting of the rinsing mechanism, allows the fungi to undergo preliminary soaking and cleaning in the cleaning chamber during transmission, and then undergo a secondary powerful rinsing by the rinsing nozzle when transmitted to the inclined section. This achieves a multi-stage, all-round cleaning process, further improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of cleaning. Third, the control cylinder set on the outside of the cleaning chamber can realize the overall lifting and lowering of the upper cleaning mechanism, facilitating equipment maintenance, repair, and cleaning of the inside of the cleaning chamber, improving the operability and practicality of the equipment. Fourth, the cleaning chamber is supported by pillars on all four sides, with a waste collection bin on the outside. The chamber itself is made of stainless steel, ensuring not only the stability and durability of the equipment structure but also facilitating the collection and disposal of impurities and waste during the cleaning process. This meets the hygiene requirements for food processing equipment and helps ensure the safety and cleanliness of the mushroom cleaning process. In conclusion, this equipment effectively improves the efficiency, quality, and automation of mushroom cleaning, reduces production costs, and has good application prospects and market value.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] This utility model provides an automatic fungal cleaning device, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it can be implemented in the following manner; the equipment consists of a lower cleaning device 1 and an upper cleaning mechanism 2 located within the lower cleaning device 1;

[0020] The lower cleaning device 1 has a cleaning chamber 1-1 for holding water, and the upper cleaning mechanism 2 is located inside the cleaning chamber 1-1.

[0021] The upper cleaning mechanism 2 consists of a frame 2-1, with the left end of the frame 2-1 being the inlet 2-2 for feeding the fungi to be cleaned, and the right end being the outlet 2-3 for the cleaned fungi. A mesh transmission mechanism 2-4 is installed at the lower end of the frame 2-1, and a rinsing mechanism 2-5 is provided on the side of the frame 2-1 near the outlet 2-3. The transmission mechanism 2-4 has a bent structure, with the front horizontal section located at the bottom of the frame 2-1 and the rear inclined section corresponding to the bottom of the rinsing mechanism 2-5. Two sets of pressing drums 2-6 are installed at the front end of the frame 2-1 to press the fungi into the water. The pressing drums 2-6 press the fungi floating on the water surface into the water by rotating, which can solve the problem that the fungi float on the water surface and cannot be cleaned effectively in the existing cleaning operation.

[0022] In the implementation of the automatic fungal cleaning equipment described in this application, the pressing drum 2-6 is mounted on the frame 2-1 through a bearing seat and is driven to rotate by an external motor. The pressing drum 2-6 consists of discs 2-61 at both ends and an arc-shaped pressing plate 2-62 in the middle. Multiple rows of water filter holes 2-63 are opened on the arc-shaped pressing plate 2-62.

[0023] In the implementation of the automatic fungal cleaning equipment described in this application, the rinsing mechanism 2-5 consists of two sets of rinsing seats 2-51 fixed on the frame 2-1, three sets of flushing pipes 2-52 arranged horizontally between the rinsing seats 2-51, and a water inlet 2-53 provided on the outside of the rinsing seat 2-51. The water inlet 2-53 is connected to the three sets of flushing pipes 2-52 respectively. Multiple rinsing nozzles 2-54 are installed on the lower side of the three sets of flushing pipes 2-52. The fungi in the inclined section of the transmission mechanism 2-4 are rinsed by the rinsing nozzles 2-54, that is, rinsed before being output through the output end 2-3.

[0024] In the implementation of the automatic fungal cleaning equipment described in this application, multiple sets of control cylinders 1-4 are provided on the outside of the cleaning chamber 1-1, which can lift and lower the upper cleaning mechanism 2 as a whole; the actuating end of the control cylinder 1-4 is connected to the frame 2-1 of the upper cleaning mechanism 2.

[0025] In the implementation of the automatic fungal cleaning equipment described in this application, the cleaning chamber 1-1 is supported by support columns 1-2 on all sides; a garbage collection box 1-3 is provided on the outside of the cleaning chamber 1-1.

[0026] In the implementation of the automatic fungal cleaning equipment described in this application, the cleaning chamber 1-1 is made of stainless steel.

[0027] The following is a detailed description of the implementation process of an automatic fungal cleaning device according to this application;

[0028] I. Equipment Preparation Stage;

[0029] Before using the automatic fungal cleaning equipment, first, securely place the cleaning chamber 1-1 in a suitable working area using the supporting columns 1-2 around it. Next, inject an appropriate amount of clean water into the cleaning chamber 1-1 through the water inlet pipe to reach the appropriate water level, preparing for subsequent cleaning work. Simultaneously, check the control cylinder 1-4, external motor, and other power components to ensure they are properly connected and operating; confirm that the water inlet 2-53 of the flushing mechanism 2-5 is correctly connected to the water source, ensuring that water can smoothly enter the flushing pipe 2-52.

[0030] II. Lowering the upper cleaning mechanism;

[0031] Start the control cylinder 1-4. The actuating end of the control cylinder 1-4 pushes the frame 2-1 of the upper cleaning mechanism 2, and smoothly lowers the entire upper cleaning mechanism 2 into the cleaning chamber 1-1 until the frame 2-1 is stably in a suitable position in the cleaning chamber 1-1. This ensures that the front horizontal section of the transmission mechanism 2-4 is located at the bottom of the frame 2-1 and immersed in the water in the cleaning chamber 1-1, thus creating a channel for the cleaning and transmission of fungi.

[0032] III. Introducing the fungi and initial cleaning;

[0033] The bacteria to be cleaned are placed into the inlet 2-2 at the left end of the frame 2-1. The external motor is turned on, driving the pressing drum 2-6 to rotate. The discs 2-61 at both ends of the pressing drum 2-6 rotate together with the arc-shaped pressing plate 2-62 in the middle. When the bacteria float on the water surface, the filter holes 2-63 on the arc-shaped pressing plate 2-62, in conjunction with its arc structure, press the bacteria into the water, allowing them to undergo preliminary soaking and cleaning in the water of the cleaning chamber 1-1, removing most of the impurities and dirt from their surface. At the same time, the conveying mechanism 2-4 starts operating, slowly conveying the bacteria to the right along the horizontal section.

[0034] IV. Secondary rinsing and output

[0035] When the bacteria are transported to the inclined section at the rear end by the conveyor mechanism 2-4, they enter the working range of the rinsing mechanism 2-5. Water flows through the inlet pipe 2-53 into the rinsing seat 2-51, then splits into three sets of rinsing pipes 2-52, and finally sprays out from multiple rinsing nozzles 2-54 on the lower side of the rinsing pipes 2-52, powerfully rinsing the bacteria on the inclined section and further removing any remaining impurities from their surface. After the second rinsing, the bacteria continue to move to the right by the conveyor mechanism 2-4, and are finally output from the output end 2-3 at the right end of the frame 2-1, completing the entire cleaning process.

[0036] V. Equipment Cleaning and Maintenance

[0037] After one cleaning cycle is completed, the control cylinder 1-4 is activated again to lift the upper cleaning mechanism 2 out of the cleaning chamber 1-1, facilitating cleaning of the interior of the cleaning chamber 1-1 and the upper cleaning mechanism 2 by the staff. Impurities and debris generated during the cleaning process fall into the waste collection bin 1-3 outside the cleaning chamber 1-1, which only needs to be cleaned periodically by the staff. Furthermore, since the cleaning chamber 1-1 is made of stainless steel, it has good corrosion resistance and is easy to clean. Staff can use suitable cleaning agents and tools to thoroughly clean it, ensuring the equipment remains in good working order for the next use. The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use this invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, this invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
