Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of snail cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for snail processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, snails are a common ingredient. Their surfaces are covered with a lot of mud, algae and other impurities, so the cleaning process is crucial. To improve cleaning efficiency, bubble cleaning machines are commonly used for soaking and rinsing. After the surface impurities are fully soaked, the snails are conveyed to the brush cleaning area by a plate chain. The impurities on the surface of the snails are brushed off by the continuous rotation of multiple sets of brushes.

[0003] However, existing parallel brush roller cleaning equipment has significant drawbacks when cleaning snails. The gap between the brush rollers is fixed, while snails vary in size. Some large snails can be transported by the force of the brush rollers rotating, but some small snails may be stuck between the two brush rollers and cannot be transported forward. In addition, snails have irregular shapes, hard shells, and complex spiral structures. When moving between the two brush rollers, the fixed gap between the brush rollers cannot accommodate the differences in snail size, which can easily cause snails to get stuck. Traditional equipment lacks an effective auxiliary anti-stuck structure, and it is difficult to push out the stuck snails by relying solely on the rotation of the brush rollers. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cleaning device for processing snails to solve the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: it includes a bubble cleaning unit and a brush cleaning unit located at the downstream end of the bubble cleaning unit. The brush cleaning unit includes a receiving frame and multiple sets of brush cleaning rollers rotatably connected to the receiving frame. It also includes a lifting mechanism and a pulse blowing mechanism. The lifting mechanism is located below the receiving frame and is used to adjust the downward tilt of the brush cleaning unit from its upstream end to its downstream end, so as to assist the object to be cleaned in moving and being output along the brush cleaning unit. The pulse blowing mechanism includes multiple sets of blowing nozzles, and the multiple sets of blowing nozzles are located below between two adjacent brush cleaning rollers, so as to generate pulsed airflow to act on the object to be cleaned between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers, so as to prevent the object to be cleaned from getting stuck between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a receiving box located below the brush cleaning unit. A lifting rod is hinged to the inner wall of the receiving box. The movable end of the lifting rod is hinged to the receiving frame, and the end of the receiving frame away from the lifting rod is hinged to the receiving frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the pulse blowing mechanism also includes a main air supply pipe and an air pump installed on the main air supply pipe. Each of the multiple sets of blowing nozzles is connected to a branch air pipe that is rotatably connected to the receiving frame, and a solenoid valve is installed on the main air supply pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the receiving frame is provided with a swing blowing mechanism, which includes a gear located at the end of the branch air pipe and a rack meshing with the gear. The rack is slidably connected to the side wall of the receiving frame, and the receiving frame is provided with a telescopic member whose movable end is connected to the rack.

[0009] Furthermore, an inclined guide plate for feeding material onto the brush cleaning unit is provided between the bubble cleaning unit and the brush cleaning unit, and the highest point of the brush cleaning unit is lower than the lowest point of the inclined guide plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the output end opening of the inclined guide plate is smaller than the width of the brush cleaning unit.

[0011] The above-mentioned technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0012] In this invention, a lifting mechanism is used to tilt the brush cleaning mechanism, causing the snails on the brush cleaning unit to tend to roll downwards under gravity, making it easier to transport the snails. At the same time, the jet nozzle on the pulse blowing mechanism can be precisely aimed at the gap between the two brush cleaning rollers. When the solenoid valve controls the pulse airflow to be ejected, the high-speed airflow can directly act on the remaining snails. In combination with the tilted brush cleaning unit, the snails are more likely to detach from between the two brush cleaning rollers and be transported downstream. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model provides a cleaning device for processing snails, including a bubble cleaning unit 1 and a brush cleaning unit 2 located downstream of the bubble cleaning unit 1. The brush cleaning unit 2 includes a receiving frame 21 and multiple sets of brush cleaning rollers 22 rotatably connected to the receiving frame 21. The bubble cleaning unit 1 includes a cleaning chamber, inside which is a plate chain conveyor mechanism and a bubble generating device, such as an aerator, to generate bubbles in the cleaning liquid. These bubbles, during their ascent, wash and stir the snails in the water, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning. Then, under the action of the plate chain conveyor mechanism, the snails are transported to the downstream brush cleaning unit 2, where they are repeatedly brushed by the multiple sets of brush cleaning rollers 22, thereby achieving a more thorough cleaning. The system can be equipped with bristles made of polypropylene, and multiple sets of brush cleaning rollers 22 can be driven to rotate in the same direction through a transmission mechanism. This allows the snails to be cleaned while being conveyed forward, causing them to fall off after cleaning. Both the bubble cleaning unit 1 and the brush cleaning unit 2 are equipped with spray heads to spray and rinse the snails from above, improving the cleaning effect. The above is existing technology, similar to current vegetable cleaning machines, which should be known to those skilled in the art and is not the inventive point of this solution, so it will not be described in detail. However, due to the small size of the snails, some snails may remain between two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22 and cannot be continuously conveyed downwards, affecting the cleaning efficiency. They also need to be removed and cleaned after the machine is stopped. Therefore, this solution is equipped with a lifting mechanism and a pulse blowing mechanism.

[0025] Specifically, the lifting mechanism is located below the receiving frame 21 and is used to adjust the downward tilt of the brush cleaning unit 2 from its upstream end to its downstream end, so as to assist the object to be cleaned to move and be output along the brush cleaning unit 2. The pulse blowing mechanism includes multiple sets of air nozzles 3, which are located below the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22. They are used to generate pulsed airflow to act on the object to be cleaned between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22 to prevent the object to be cleaned from getting stuck between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22. When it is necessary to remove the snails that exist between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22, the receiving frame 21 is first tilted by the lifting mechanism, and then the pulse blowing mechanism is started to blow air between the two adjacent brush cleaning rollers 22 to blow the snails out. When cleaning snails normally, the brush cleaning unit 2 can be adjusted to a horizontal state to avoid the snails being transported downstream too quickly due to the tilt setting of the brush cleaning unit 2, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0026] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a receiving box 4 located below the brush cleaning unit 2. A lifting rod 41 is hinged to the inner wall of the receiving box 4. The movable end of the lifting rod 41 is hinged to the receiving frame 21, and the end of the receiving frame 21 away from the lifting rod 41 is hinged to the receiving frame 21. The lifting rod 41 can be driven by hydraulic means to rotate the hinge point between the receiving frame 21 and the receiving box 4 around the center, so that the upstream end of the receiving frame 21 moves upward and changes to an inclined state.

[0027] Preferably, the pulse blowing mechanism also includes a main air supply pipe 31 and an air pump 32 mounted on the main air supply pipe 31. Each of the multiple blowing nozzles 3 is connected to a branch air pipe 33 that is rotatably connected to the receiving frame 21. The main air supply pipe 31 is equipped with a solenoid valve 34. After the air pump 32 is started, it draws in and compresses outside air to generate high-pressure air. The compressed air is transported to the main pipe through the pipeline to provide air source power for the entire system. When the solenoid valve 34 is energized, the valve opens, and the compressed air in the main pipe can enter the blowing pipe through the solenoid valve 34. When the solenoid valve 34 is de-energized, the valve closes, and the airflow is cut off. By controlling the energizing and de-energizing time of the solenoid valve 34, the time interval and duration of the compressed air entering the blowing pipe can be controlled, thereby realizing pulsed airflow output. Furthermore, the opening and closing of the solenoid valve 34 may cause air pressure changes. A pressure stabilizing device can also be set to ensure that the air pressure entering the blowing pipe is kept within a relatively stable range, ensuring the consistency and stability of the pulse blowing effect.

[0028] Preferably, the receiving frame 21 is equipped with a swing blowing mechanism, which includes a gear 5 located at the end of the branch air pipe 33 and a rack 51 meshing with the gear 5. The rack 51 is slidably connected to the side wall of the receiving frame 21, and the receiving frame 21 is equipped with a telescopic member 52 whose movable end is connected to the rack 51. The telescopic member 52 can be an electric telescopic rod or other device. The extension and retraction of the electric telescopic rod drives the rack 51 to move linearly, thereby driving the rotation of the gear 5, which causes the branch air pipe 33 to swing the blowing nozzle 3. During the rotation of the brush cleaning roller 22, snails may get stuck between the brush cleaning rollers 22. If the nozzle is fixed in place, it can only blow up a fixed area and cannot cover the entire stuck area. However, by using the swing blowing mechanism to make the nozzle rotate synchronously and change the angle periodically, a fan-shaped blowing can be achieved, which can apply impact force to the stuck snails from different angles, expand the blowing range, and ensure that all positions in the stuck area can be blown up, thus improving the cleaning effect. In addition, in order to facilitate the rotation of the branch air pipes 33, the main delivery pipe can be set as a flexible hose, and its length is greater than the distance between the two branch air pipes 33, forming a redundant length, so as to avoid the swing of the branch air pipes 33 being affected by the pulling of the main air pipe 31.

[0029] Preferably, an inclined guide plate 6 for feeding material onto the brush cleaning unit 2 is provided between the bubble cleaning unit 1 and the brush cleaning unit 2. The highest end of the brush cleaning unit 2 is lower than the lowest end of the inclined guide plate 6. The snails cleaned from the bubble cleaning unit 1 fall onto the inclined guide plate 6, and then fall from the output end of the inclined guide plate 6 onto the brush cleaning unit 2. The inclined guide plate 6 provides a buffer to prevent the snails from splashing when they fall. The opening width of the output end of the inclined guide plate 6 is smaller than the width of the brush cleaning unit 2 to prevent the snails from falling onto both ends of the brush cleaning roller 22.

Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art.
