Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable cleaning technology, and in particular to a vegetable cleaning and stirring mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In modern food processing and home cooking, the quality of vegetable cleaning directly affects food safety and taste. Traditional vegetable cleaning methods mainly rely on manual scrubbing or soaking. Manual scrubbing is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee consistent cleaning results; simple soaking cannot effectively remove pesticide residues, microorganisms, and attached dirt and other impurities from the surface of vegetables.
[0003] Although existing vegetable washing equipment has achieved a certain degree of automation, it still has the following shortcomings in actual use:
[0004] Most current vegetable washing equipment has a stirring rod in the center, which means that only the middle part contacts the vegetable during stirring. This results in a relatively small force and poor rubbing and cleaning effect on the vegetables. In addition, the stirring rod is mostly made of hard material, which can easily damage the vegetables. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a vegetable washing and stirring mechanism, which effectively solves the deficiencies of the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a vegetable washing and stirring mechanism, including a washing tank. A rotating cylinder seat is rotatably connected to the center of the bottom surface of the washing tank. A washing drum is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating cylinder seat. The surface of the washing drum has several water-permeable holes. Several first stirring columns are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the washing drum. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the center of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder seat. The top of the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the washing drum. Several second stirring columns are fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft inside the washing drum. The several first stirring columns and several second stirring columns are arranged alternately. The several first stirring columns and several second stirring columns are all made of flexible material. The bottom end of the rotating shaft passes through the bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat. The bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat passes through the center of the bottom surface of the washing tank. A first driven bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft. A drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom surface of the washing tank. A drive bevel gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The two sides of the drive bevel gear are respectively meshed with the first driven bevel gear and the second bevel gear.
[0007] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, a connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a drain valve is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the cleaning tank, with the interior of the drain valve communicating with the bottom of the inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0008] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the connecting shaft can be rotatably connected to the frame, making it easy to flip the washing tank to pour out the vegetables, and the drain valve can easily discharge the washing wastewater.
[0009] Preferably, in any of the above embodiments, the rotating cylinder seat is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank via a sealed bearing, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder seat via a sealed bearing.
[0010] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that the sealed bearing connection can prevent the cleaning water from leaking from the gap between the rotating cylinder seat and the rotating shaft, and also prevent the leakage from the gap between the rotating cylinder seat and the inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0011] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the lengths of the first stirring columns and the second stirring columns are equal, the ends of the first stirring columns and the second stirring columns are all hemispherical, and a gap is left between the ends of the first stirring columns away from the cleaning drum and the ends of the second stirring columns away from the rotating shaft.
[0012] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that it can prevent vegetables from being put in and prevent them from being blocked from falling by the first stirring column and the second stirring column.
[0013] Preferably, in any of the above schemes, the distribution height of the plurality of first stirring columns and the plurality of second stirring columns are adapted to the height of the cleaning drum, the top of the cleaning drum is higher than the top of the cleaning tank, and a gap is left between the outer wall of the cleaning drum and the inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0014] The technical effect achieved by adopting the above solution is that by using this solution, the cleaning height of several first stirring columns and several second stirring columns can be matched with the height of the cleaning drum, thereby maximizing the cleaning effect.
[0015] This utility model has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. This vegetable washing and stirring mechanism, driven by a drive motor, rotates a drive bevel gear, which in turn drives the first driven bevel gear and the second bevel gear to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This causes the rotating drum and the rotating shaft to rotate in opposite directions, resulting in the first stirring column and the second stirring column rotating in opposite directions. This allows the vegetables to be washed by the water flow after being placed in the washing drum, and at the same time, the first stirring column and the second stirring column rub against each other, increasing the contact force and improving the washing effect. Moreover, the flexible material of the first stirring column and the second stirring column can prevent damage to the vegetables.
[0017] 2. This vegetable washing and stirring mechanism, through the high-speed rotation of the washing drum, can bring the vegetables into high-speed contact with the water flow, achieving rinsing without rigid stirring, thus improving the protection of the vegetables. Moreover, the centrifugal force of the rotation can improve the separation and cleaning effect of impurities. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a vegetable washing and stirring mechanism includes a washing tank 1. A rotating cylinder seat 9 is rotatably connected to the center of the bottom surface of the washing tank 1. A washing drum 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating cylinder seat 9. The surface of the washing drum 2 has several water-permeable holes. Several first stirring columns 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the washing drum 2. A rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the center of the inner wall of the rotating cylinder seat 9. The top of the rotating shaft 3 extends into the interior of the washing drum 2. Several second stirring columns 5 are fixedly connected to one side of the rotating shaft 3 inside the washing drum 2. The several first stirring columns 4 and several second stirring columns 5 interact with each other. The first stirring column 4 and the second stirring column 5 are staggered and are made of flexible material. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 3 passes through the bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat 9, and the bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat 9 passes through the center of the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1. The bottom end of the rotating cylinder seat 9 is fixedly connected to the first driven bevel gear 10, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 11. The bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the driving motor 7, and the output end of the driving motor 7 is fixedly connected to the driving bevel gear 12. The two sides of the driving bevel gear 12 are respectively meshed with the first driven bevel gear 10 and the second bevel gear 11.
[0024] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, a connecting shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the middle of both sides of the outer wall of the washing tank 1, and a drain valve 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the washing tank 1. The inside of the drain valve 8 is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the washing tank 1. It can be rotatably connected to the frame through the connecting shaft 6, so as to facilitate the flipping of the washing tank 1 to pour out the vegetables, and the washing wastewater can be easily discharged through the drain valve 8.
[0025] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the rotating cylinder seat 9 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 1 through a sealed bearing, and the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating cylinder seat 9 through a sealed bearing. The connection through the sealed bearing can prevent the cleaning water from leaking from the gap between the rotating cylinder seat 9 and the rotating shaft 3, and also prevent water leakage from the gap between the rotating cylinder seat 9 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1.
[0026] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the lengths of the first stirring column 4 and the second stirring column 5 are equal, the ends of the first stirring column 4 and the second stirring column 5 are all hemispherical, and a gap is left between the end of the first stirring column 4 away from the washing drum 2 and the end of the second stirring column 5 away from the rotating shaft 3, so as to prevent vegetables from being put in and prevent vegetables from being blocked by the first stirring column 4 and the second stirring column 5 from falling.
[0027] As an optional technical solution of this utility model, the distribution height of the plurality of first stirring columns 4 and the plurality of second stirring columns 5 are all adapted to the height of the cleaning drum 2. The top position of the cleaning drum 2 is higher than the top position of the cleaning tank 1. A gap is left between the outer wall of the cleaning drum 2 and the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, so that the cleaning height of the plurality of first stirring columns 4 and the plurality of second stirring columns 5 matches the height of the cleaning drum 2, thereby achieving the maximum cleaning effect.
[0028] The following steps are required to use this vegetable washing and mixing mechanism:
[0029] 1) By driving the drive bevel gear 12 to rotate through the drive motor 7, the first driven bevel gear 10 and the second bevel gear 11 can be driven to rotate synchronously in opposite directions.
[0030] 2) The rotating drum base 9 and the rotating shaft 3 rotate in opposite directions, so that the vegetables are washed by the water flow after being put in and the washing drum 2 rolls.
[0031] 3) At the same time, the first stirring column 4 and several second stirring columns 5 inside and outside rub against each other, which increases the contact force and improves the cleaning effect. Moreover, the flexible material of the first stirring column 4 and several second stirring columns 5 can prevent damage to vegetables.
[0032] In summary, this utility model uses a drive motor 7 to drive a drive bevel gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives a first driven bevel gear 10 and a second bevel gear 11 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. This, in turn, drives the rotating cylinder base 9 and the rotating shaft 3 to rotate in opposite directions, causing the first stirring columns 4 and the second stirring columns 5 to rotate in opposite directions. This allows vegetables to be washed by the water flow after being placed in the washing drum 2, while the inner and outer first stirring columns 4 and the second stirring columns 5 rub against each other, increasing the contact force and improving the washing effect. Moreover, the flexible material of the first stirring columns 4 and the second stirring columns 5 can prevent damage to the vegetables. The high-speed rotation of the washing drum 2 allows the vegetables to come into high-speed contact with the water flow, achieving washing without the need for rigid stirring, thus improving the protection of the vegetables. Furthermore, the centrifugal force of the rotation can improve the separation and cleaning effect of impurities.
[0033] 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.
