Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beet processing technology, specifically to a beet stone removal and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Stone removal from sugar beets is a crucial step in the pretreatment process before sugar production, primarily used to separate stones from the raw sugar beet material. This prevents stones from subsequently entering the shredder, causing blade wear and extending equipment lifespan.
[0003] The stone removal process uses a rotary desander to perform the stone removal operation; for example, a rotary desander for sugar beets with patent publication number CN204523472U. The sugar beets in the rotary desander are mainly removed by utilizing the difference in specific gravity between the sand and the sugar beets; the sand settles into the rotary drum, while the sugar beets float and move forward in the flow channel. However, since the sugar beets have not yet reached the washing stage, the mud and sand content is high at this stage. During the period when the sugar beets remain inside the rotary drum, the mud and sand easily clog the drum's openings, and a layer of mud easily adheres to the outside of the drum after prolonged operation, affecting equipment operation; therefore, operators need to periodically stop the machine for cleaning. Utility Model Content:
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a beet destone cleaning device. This device can effectively clean the outer wall of the rotating drum, ensuring stable equipment operation without the need for shutdown, and guaranteeing the operating efficiency of the beet destone process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A beet stone removal and cleaning device includes a rotary stone remover, a flow trough, an arc-shaped cover, a nozzle, a spray pipe, a top box, a cleaning roller brush, a drive motor, a lifting plate, and a lifting cylinder. The rotary stone remover's rotary drum is rotatably mounted on the flow trough. A portion of the side wall of the rotary drum is immersed in the flow trough. The flow trough is covered by an arc-shaped cover. A top box is fixed to the top of the arc-shaped cover. The top box is connected to the arc-shaped cover. A lifting plate is movably inserted into the top box. A cleaning roller brush rotates between the lifting plates. The rotating shaft of the cleaning roller brush is connected to the drive end of the drive motor. Lifting cylinders are fixed to both sides of the top box. The telescopic ends of the lifting cylinders are fixedly connected to the lifting plates. After the lifting cylinders retract, the cleaning roller brush enters the arc-shaped cover and contacts the surface of the rotary drum. A spray pipe is inserted into one side of the top box and the arc-shaped cover. A nozzle is fixed to one end of the spray pipe that enters the top box and the arc-shaped cover.
[0007] Preferably, the drive motor is located on the outside of the top box; the top box has a movable groove at the connection position between the drive motor and the rotating shaft of the cleaning roller brush; a telescopic protective cover is provided on the movable groove; the arc-shaped cover has a notch at the lowest position of the drive motor, and the notch is sealed.
[0008] Preferably, the top box and the arc-shaped cover are provided with flanges corresponding to the number of spray pipes at the positions where the spray pipes enter; a flange is fixed on the spray pipe; and the flange is bolted to the flange.
[0009] Preferably, the top box and the arc-shaped cover are provided with one or more spray pipes; the water inlet end of the spray pipe is connected to the main water supply pipe; the main water supply pipe is connected to the water storage tank and supplies water through a water pump.

[0018] like Figure 1-3As shown, a beet stone removal and cleaning device is built above the original rotary stone remover 1, and the functions of the rotary stone remover 1 are improved. The rotary drum 1.1 of the rotary stone remover 1 is rotatably mounted on the flow channel 2; a part of the side wall of the rotary drum 1.1 is immersed in the flow channel 2; an arc-shaped cover 3 covers the top of the flow channel 2; a top box 6 is fixed to the top of the arc-shaped cover 3; the top box 6 is connected to the arc-shaped cover 3; a lifting plate 9 is movably inserted on the top box 6; a cleaning roller brush 7 rotates between the lifting plates 9; the rotating shaft of the cleaning roller brush 7 is connected to the driving end of the drive motor 8; lifting cylinders 10 are fixed on both sides of the top box 6; the telescopic ends of the lifting cylinders 10 are fixedly connected to the lifting plates 9; after the lifting cylinders 10 retract, the cleaning roller brush 7 enters the arc-shaped cover 3 and contacts the surface of the rotary drum 1.1; a spray pipe 5 is introduced into one side of the top box 6 and the arc-shaped cover 3; each spray pipe 5 is equipped with a valve 18 to control its opening and closing. A nozzle 4 is fixed to one end of the spray pipe 5 that enters the top box 6 and the arc-shaped cover 3. The top box 6 and the arc-shaped cover 3 each have one or more spray pipes 5; the water inlet end of the spray pipe 5 is connected to the main water supply pipe 12; the main water supply pipe 12 is connected to the water storage tank 14 and supplies water through the water pump 13. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the spray pipes 5, the top box 6 and the arc-shaped cover 3 are provided with flanges 11 corresponding to the number of spray pipes 5 at the entry points; flanges are fixed to the spray pipes 5; the flanges are bolted to the flanges 11.
[0019] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the drive motor 8 is located on the outside of the top box 6; the top box 6 has a movable groove 6.1 at the connection position between the drive motor 8 and the rotating shaft of the cleaning roller brush 7; a telescopic protective cover 19 is provided on the movable groove 6.1; the arc-shaped cover 3 has a notch 3.1 at the lowest position of the drive motor 8, and the notch 3.1 is sealed to avoid interference and ensure the sealing of the top box 6 and the arc-shaped cover 3, reducing water splashing to the outside during spraying, and the cleaning water finally enters the flow conveying trough 2. A discharge trough 15 is provided inside the sand and gravel conveying wheel of the rotary stone remover 1; the lower part of the discharge trough 15 is connected to the inlet of the guide cavity 16; the outlet of the guide cavity 16 leads to the collection box 17, and the sand and gravel finally enter the collection box 17 for unified treatment by the operators. Unless otherwise described, the fixing method is welded or threaded using common technical means in the industry.
[0020] The working principle is as follows:
[0021] When cleaning is required, the lifting cylinder 10 retracts, causing the cleaning roller brush 7 to descend. The cleaning roller brush 7 enters the arc-shaped cover 3 and contacts the outer wall of the rotating drum 1.1. During rotation, some of the bristles of the cleaning roller brush 7 will enter the holes on the rotating drum 1.1, providing a certain degree of unblocking effect. The physical friction of the roller brush loosens the dirt on the surface of the rotating drum 1.1. Finally, the outside of the rotating drum 1.1 is rinsed through the nozzle 4. After the roller brush returns to its original position, it is also cleaned by spraying. The cleaned wastewater enters the flow tank 2. The water storage tank 14 serves as the water supply for cleaning and can also replenish the water in the flow tank 2 to prevent insufficient water in the flow tank 2.
[0022] 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.
