Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning thin-shelled pecan fruits, specifically a roller brush cleaning device for thin-shelled pecan fruits. Background Technology
[0002] Pecans, also known as thin-shelled pecans, come into contact with air, rainwater, and soil during their growth, potentially accumulating dust, silt, plant debris, and other impurities. For example, when the pecans ripen and fall to the ground, they may pick up dust from the ground or dirt accumulated among the branches and leaves, so a cleaning process is necessary during processing.
[0003] Patent CN216906747U discloses a cleaning device for walnut processing. Specifically, this patent discloses that the walnuts can be freely controlled for cleaning and feeding through the setting of the hopper and feeding switch assembly, which is convenient for feeding and can improve the cleaning efficiency of walnuts. In addition, the walnuts are discharged through the discharge cylinder at the discharge point of the cylinder body, and the cleaning water is drained away through the water outlet pipe before discharge. The cleaned walnuts can be discharged to the outside of the cylinder body through the discharge cylinder under the action of the spiral blades, which improves the safety of the cleaning process.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, while existing patents offer solutions that can clean walnuts using components such as hoppers, in practice, the irregular texture of the walnut's outer wall can lead to dust residue that is difficult to remove. Simply rinsing and soaking with water is insufficient for effective cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0024] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.
[0025] An embodiment of the present invention is shown in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A roller brush cleaning device for thin-shelled pecan fruits includes a feeding tray 1, a distributing hopper 2 fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding tray 1, a cleaning cylinder 3 fixedly installed at the bottom of the distributing hopper 2, a water pipe 4 extending through the outer wall of the distributing hopper 2, and a cleaning mechanism 5 arranged above the feeding tray 1. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a servo motor 501, which is embedded in the top of the feeding tray 1. A drive rod 502 is fixedly installed at the power output end of the servo motor 501, and a rotating cylinder 503 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive rod 502. A roller brush 504 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 503. A fixing block 505 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 3, and a sleeve 506 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing block 505. A soft brush 507 is embedded in the inner wall of the sleeve 506. The distributing hopper 2 communicates with the feeding tray 1 and the cleaning cylinder 3.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the fruit is guided into the washing cylinder 3 through the feeding tray 1 and the distributing hopper 2, the fruit is located between the roller brush 504 and the soft brush 507 inside the sleeve cylinder 506. Under the operation of the servo motor 501, the drive rod 502 drives the rotating cylinder 503 to make the roller brush 504 brush the fruit. In conjunction with the sliding of the soft brush 507 during the falling process, the overall brushing effect of the fruit can be improved, avoiding dirt and dust in the texture and crevices, and further improving the cleaning effect of the fruit.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a movable door plate 6 is movably connected to one side of the servo motor 501 at the top of the feed tray 1. A distributing mechanism 7 is provided inside the distributing hopper 2. The distributing mechanism 7 includes a distributing plate 701, which is fixedly installed inside the distributing hopper 2. A through hole 702 is provided inside the distributing plate 701 at the position corresponding to the drive rod 502. A distributing hole 703 is provided on one side of the through hole 702 on the inner wall of the distributing plate 701. A stirring rod 704 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one end of the drive rod 502 inside the distributing hopper 2. A filter screen 705 is embedded in the bottom of the inner wall of the washing cylinder 3. A sealing door plate 706 is movably connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the washing cylinder 3. A discharge hopper 8 is embedded in the bottom of the washing cylinder 3. A support frame 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the discharge hopper 8 at the bottom of the washing cylinder 3.
[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, two sets of distributing plates 701 are set in the distributing hopper 2, each with a through hole 702 larger than the diameter of the drive rod 502, to avoid dust and impurities from adsorbing and affecting the smooth rotation when they are attached. At the same time, the distributing plates 701 have several distributing holes 703 larger than the fruit. When the fruit rotates and overlaps with the distributing holes 703 under the drive of the stirring rod 704, it can fall off. The two sets of distributing plates 701 buffer the falling of the fruit, which can fully rinse and soak it with water, and prevent too many fruits from entering the sleeve 506, which would cause the cleaning to be affected by the accumulation of cleaning.
[0030] Working principle: Fruits are introduced into the feeding tray 1 by opening and closing the movable door plate 6, and then distributed into the washing cylinder 3 via the distributing hopper 2. Water is supplied from an external water pump and enters the washing cylinder 3 through the water pipe 4 to wash the fruits. The servo motor 501 drives the drive rod 502 to rotate, thereby agitating the fruits on the distributing plate 701. The through hole 702 is larger than the drive rod 502, which allows the drive rod 502 to rotate while preventing friction or dust from entering and affecting the stability of rotation. At the same time, the distributing hole 703 of the distributing plate 701 is larger than the size of the fruits, so that under the agitation of the stirring rod 704, the fruits fall into the distributing hole 703 one by one and enter the washing cylinder 3, avoiding the accumulation of fruits that would affect the washing effect. The sleeve 506 is fixed inside the washing tube 3 by the fixing block 505, and a soft brush 507 is embedded inside. At the same time, the drive rod 502 drives the rotating tube 503, so that the roller brush 504 rotates inside the sleeve 506. The fruit passes through the gap between the soft brush 507 and the roller brush 504 for brushing and falls onto the filter screen 705 for easy separation from water. An electric control valve is set below the hopper 8 to facilitate drainage after washing. The structure of the sealing door panel 706 is the same as that of the washing machine door panel, which can prevent the washing tube 3 from being opened after washing. The fruit is guided by the inclined filter screen 705 to pass through the washing tube 3 for easy collection. The washing tube 3 is fixed and supported by the support frame 9.
[0031] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
