[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art, the present invention provides a high-efficiency cleaning device for meat processing to solve the problems in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-efficiency cleaning device for meat processing includes a cleaning drum, a conveyor belt installed at the bottom of the cleaning drum, and a wastewater tank installed below the cleaning drum. It also includes a rinsing tank, which is divided into a front spray zone and a rear spray zone, separated by a water-blocking curtain at the top and a partition at the bottom of the inner side of the rinsing tank. Branch pipes and several inclined nozzles are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the rear spray zone, with the spray direction of the inclined nozzles opposite to the conveyor belt's direction. The conveyor belt is located above the partition and passes through both ends of the rinsing tank.
[0008] Furthermore, both the front and rear spray zones are equipped with water inlet pipes and vertical nozzles connected to the water inlet pipes at the top, and drain pipes at the bottom, with the bottoms sloping downwards towards the drain pipes.
[0009] Furthermore, the other end of the water inlet pipe at the top of the front spray area is connected to the return water tank, and the drain pipe at the bottom is connected to the sewage tank.
[0010] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe at the top of the rear spray area is connected to the purified water tank, and the drain pipe at the bottom is connected to the return water tank.
[0011] Furthermore, the water spray direction of the vertical nozzle is perpendicular to the conveyor belt.
[0012] Furthermore, each of the water inlet pipes is equipped with a water pump.
[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning cylinder includes a top cover, a motor connected to the top of the top cover, and a stirring rod connected to the bottom of the motor. The stirring rod has several brushes evenly distributed on it and is located inside the cleaning cylinder. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder.
[0014] Furthermore, a sealed protective cover is provided outside the conveyor belt, and the protective cover is connected to the washing cylinder and the rinsing tank respectively.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] Example 1:
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, this utility model provides a high-efficiency cleaning device for meat processing, including a cleaning cylinder 1, a conveyor belt 5 installed at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 1, and a wastewater tank 6 installed below the cleaning cylinder 1. It also includes a rinsing tank 4, which is divided into a front spray zone 4011 and a rear spray zone 4012, separated by a water baffle 405 at the top of the inner side of the rinsing tank 4 and a partition 404 at the bottom. The water baffle can prevent the water in the two spray zones from mixing during the transmission process, thus affecting the cleaning effect.
[0028] In this embodiment, branch water pipes 408 and several inclined nozzles 409 are installed on both sides of the inner wall of the rear spray zone 4012. The water spraying direction of the inclined nozzles 409 is opposite to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 5. The reverse water flow can be used to flush away stubborn impurities and blood in the gaps inside the meat products.
[0029] In this embodiment, the conveyor belt 5 is located above the partition 404 and runs through both ends of the rinsing tank 4.
[0030] In this embodiment, the top of the front spray zone 4011 and the rear spray zone 4012 are both provided with a water inlet pipe 401 and a vertical nozzle 403 connected to the water inlet pipe 401, and the bottom of both are provided with a drain pipe 402, and the bottom of both are inclined downward towards the drain pipe 402, so as to facilitate the collection of wastewater after use.
[0031] In this embodiment, the other end of the water inlet pipe 401 at the top of the front spray area 4011 is connected to the return water tank 7, and the drain pipe 402 at the bottom is connected to the sewage tank 6.
[0032] In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 401 at the top of the rear spray zone 4012 is connected to the pure water tank 8, and the drain pipe 402 at the bottom is connected to the return water tank 7.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water spraying direction of the vertical nozzle 403 is perpendicular to the conveyor belt 5.
[0034] In this embodiment, a water pump 407 is installed on each water inlet pipe 401 to pump water from each water tank.
[0035] In this embodiment, the cleaning cylinder 1 includes a top cover 102, a motor 101 connected to the top of the top cover 102, and a stirring rod 2 connected to the bottom of the motor 101. Several brushes 201 are evenly distributed on the stirring rod 2 and are located inside the cleaning cylinder 1. A drain outlet 103 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning cylinder 1.
[0036] In this embodiment, a sealed protective cover 3 is provided outside the conveyor belt 5. The protective cover 3 is connected to the washing cylinder 1 and the rinsing tank 4 respectively, which can reduce the possibility of meat products being contaminated by bacteria during the transmission process.
[0037] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Open the top cover 102, put the meat products into the washing cylinder 1 and close it. Start the motor 101 to drive the stirring rod 2 to rotate, so that the brush 201 can thoroughly clean the meat products. After cleaning, the meat products fall onto the conveyor belt 5 and are conveyed to the rinsing tank 4. The wastewater after cleaning is collected in the wastewater tank 6 through the drain outlet 103. During rinsing, turn on the water pump 407 to deliver water to each spray zone. The meat products first pass through the front spray zone 4011, where they are sprayed vertically by the top nozzles 403 to roughly wash away the wastewater and impurities remaining on the surface of the meat products. Then, they pass through the water curtain and enter the rear spray zone 4012, where the inclined nozzles 409 use the reverse water flow to rinse away stubborn impurities and blood in the crevices of the meat products, making them cleaner.
[0038] In the above process, the front spray zone 4011 uses water collected in the return water tank 7 after being rinsed by the rear spray zone 4012, while the rear spray zone 4012 uses fresh water from the pure water tank 8. Finally, the wastewater rinsed by the front spray zone 4011 is collected in the wastewater tank 6.
[0039] The tilting nozzle 409's reverse spray design can efficiently clean away stubborn impurities remaining in the crevices of meat products, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the meat products; the zoned spraying of the rinsing tank 4 enables the recycling of wastewater, thus saving water.
