Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of Sichuan pepper oil production technology, specifically relating to a cleaning device for Sichuan pepper oil production. Background Technology
[0002] Sichuan pepper oil is a product made by extracting the aromatic substances from Sichuan peppercorns into edible vegetable oil. It has a strong numbing flavor and a rich pepper aroma, with a fixed degree of numbing sensation. Before production, the Sichuan peppercorns need to be cleaned to ensure food hygiene and safety.
[0003] According to the application number CN202421753123.8, a pepper cleaning device has the advantage of drying cleaned peppers through the cooperation of a box, rinsing mechanism, water tank, water pump, water suction pipe, drain pipe, connecting pipe, atomizing nozzle, shaking mechanism, telescopic rod, placement frame, support rod, mesh box, fixing plate, opening, first shaft, horizontal plate, vertical plate, motor, first connecting rod, second shaft, second connecting rod, drying mechanism, electric push rod, air outlet, air outlet, hot air blower and hose. However, this patented technology has the following defects in actual use: relying solely on water to clean the peppers will consume too much water, leading to water waste. In addition, during drying, shaking only causes the top layer of peppers to shake, while the bottom peppers do not shake due to compression, resulting in extremely uneven drying. Therefore, we propose a cleaning device for pepper oil production. Utility Model Content

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6This utility model provides a cleaning device for producing Sichuan pepper oil, including a housing 1. For cleaning and drying Sichuan pepper, two electric push rods 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1. A lifting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the two electric push rods 2. A vertical plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting frame 3. A protective cover 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate 4. A cleaning motor 34 is fixedly connected inside the protective cover 5. Two rotating gears 6 are arranged inside the protective cover 5. One rotating gear 6 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the protective cover 5, and the other rotating gear 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the cleaning motor 34. The vertical plate 4... An internal rotating shaft 7 is connected, passing through the vertical plate 4. One end of the shaft 7 is fixedly connected to a reciprocating gear 8, and the other end is fixedly connected to a left square block 9. A left slot plate 10 is slidably connected to the outside of the left square block 9. A cleaning tub 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the left slot plate 10. A spray pipe 32 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the cleaning tub 11, passing through the cleaning tub 11 and the left slot plate 10. A moving motor 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting frame 3. A screw 13 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the moving motor 12, rotatably connected to the lifting frame 3, and threaded onto the screw 13. The movable plate 14 is slidably connected inside the lifting frame 3. A right square block 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of one side of the movable plate 14. A right slot plate 16 is slidably connected to the outside of the right square block 15. A bucket lid 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the right slot plate 16. The bucket lid 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning bucket 11 by a bolt No. 1. Three levers 18 are fixedly connected to one side of the rotating gear 6. Two rotating gears 6 mesh with each other. A water tank 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1. A hose 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the water tank 19. The hose 20 passes through the water tank 19, the housing 1, the protective cover 5, and the reciprocating gear 8. A rotating shaft 7 and a left square block 9 are connected to a spray pump 21 fixedly on a hose 20. The spray pump 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1. A cleaning box 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 1. A return pipe 23 is fixedly connected between the two sides of the cleaning box 22. The two ends of the return pipe 23 pass through the two sides of the cleaning box 22 respectively. A return pump 24 is fixedly connected to the return pipe 23. The return pump 24 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the cleaning box 22. A baffle 31 is provided on one side of the bottom of the cleaning box 22. The baffle 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the cleaning box 22 by a No. 2 bolt. A heating element 33 is fixedly connected inside the box 1.Place the peppercorns into the cleaning tub 11, and secure the tub lid 17 with bolt No. 1. Start the moving motor 12, causing its output shaft to rotate, which in turn moves the moving plate 14 and the right square block 15. This causes the left square block 9 and the right square block 15 to insert into the left slot plate 10 and the right slot plate 16, respectively. This causes the output ends of the two electric push rods 2 to retract, lowering the lifting frame 3 and lowering the cleaning tub 11 into the cleaning tank 22, which is filled with water. Start the cleaning motor 34, causing its output shaft to rotate, which in turn rotates the rotating gear 6. The lever 18 on the rotating gear 6 intermittently pushes the reciprocating gear 8 to rotate. The two rotating gears 6 rotate in opposite directions, causing the lever 18 on the two rotating gears 6 to alternately push the reciprocating gear 8 to rotate, thus causing the reciprocating gear 8 to continuously rotate in both directions, driving the rotating shaft 7, the left square block 9, the left slot plate 10, and the cleaning tub. The water pump 11 rotates in both directions, causing the peppercorns in the washing tub 11 to continuously impact the water and be cleaned. The return pump 24 draws water from the left side of the washing tank 22 to the right side. During this flow, some impurities in the water are carried to the left side of the washing tank 22 to settle, causing the output end of the electric push rod 2 to extend and lift the lifting frame 3, detaching the washing tub 11 from the washing tank 22. The spray pump 21 then draws water from the water tank 19 through the hose 20 to the spray pipe 32 for a second rinse of the cleaned peppercorns, making the cleaning more thorough. The heating element 33 dries the peppercorns. While drying, the washing motor 34 continues to operate, causing the peppercorns in the washing tub 11 to tumble continuously, accelerating the drying process. After drying, the moving motor 12 moves the moving plate 14 to remove the washing tub 11, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning and drying the peppercorns.
[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 6 To prevent the water level in the cleaning tank 22 from becoming too high during the secondary rinsing, a square pipe 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cleaning tank 22. The square pipe 25 penetrates the cleaning tank 22, and a control pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the square pipe 25. The control pipe 26 penetrates the square pipe 25, and a block 27 is slidably connected inside the control pipe 26. A traction rope 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the block 27, and a float 29 is fixedly connected to one end of the traction rope 28. A drain pipe 30 is fixedly connected to one end of the square pipe 25. The drain pipe 30 is fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the cleaning tank 22. The drain pipe 30 passes through the cleaning tank 22 and the tank body 1. A valve is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 30. The float ball 29 moves up and down with the water level line. When the water level line is too high, the float ball 29 rises and drives the block 27 to rise under the action of the traction rope 28. This allows water with more impurities at the bottom of the cleaning tank 22 to be discharged through the square pipe 25, thereby automatically adjusting the water level in the cleaning tank 22. This achieves the purpose of preventing the water level in the cleaning tank 22 from being too high during the secondary rinsing.
[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, place the peppercorns into the cleaning tub 11, and fix the tub lid 17 with bolt No. 1. Start the moving motor 12, causing the output shaft of the moving motor 12 to rotate, driving the moving plate 14 and the right square block 15 to move, so that the left square block 9 and the right square block 15 are respectively inserted into the left slot plate 10 and the right slot plate 16. This causes the output ends of the two electric push rods 2 to retract, driving the lifting frame 3 to descend, so that the cleaning tub 11 descends into the cleaning tank 22, which is filled with water. Then, start the cleaning motor 34. The output shaft of the cleaning motor 34 rotates, driving the rotating gear 6 to rotate. The lever 18 on the rotating gear 6 intermittently pushes the reciprocating gear 8 to rotate. The two rotating gears 6 rotate in opposite directions, causing the lever 18 on the two rotating gears 6 to alternately push the reciprocating gear 8 to rotate, thus making the reciprocating gear 8 continuously rotate forward and backward. This drives the rotating shaft 7, the left square block 9, the left slot plate 10, and the cleaning tub 11 to rotate forward and backward, thereby causing the peppercorns in the cleaning tub 11 to be continuously impacted by water and cleaned. The water in the cleaning tank 22 is then pumped out from the left side by the return pump 24. The water is pulled to the right side, and during the water flow, some impurities in the water are carried to the left side of the washing tank 22 to settle. This causes the output end of the electric push rod 2 to extend, driving the lifting frame 3 to rise, so that the washing tub 11 is detached from the washing tank 22. Water from the water tank 19 is then pumped through the hose 20 to the spray pipe 32 via the spray pump 21 to perform a second rinse on the washed peppercorns, making the peppercorns more thoroughly cleaned. The peppercorns are then dried by the heating element 33. While drying, the washing motor 34 continues to work, causing the peppercorns in the washing tub 11 to tumble continuously, accelerating the drying process. To improve drying efficiency, after drying, the moving plate 14 is moved by driving the moving motor 12 to remove the washing bucket 11, thereby achieving the purpose of washing and drying the peppercorns. The float ball 29 moves up and down with the water level line. When the water level line is too high, the float ball 29 rises and drives the block 27 to rise under the action of the traction rope 28. This allows the water with more impurities at the bottom of the washing tank 22 to be discharged through the square pipe 25, thereby automatically adjusting the water level in the washing tank 22 and preventing the water level in the washing tank 22 from being too high during the second rinsing.
[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
