Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a comprehensive cleaning device for chicken feet with a rotating spray head. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken feet are the feet of chickens, typically consisting of skin, bone, and fascia. In the food industry, chicken feet are widely used to make various snack foods, such as pickled chicken feet and tiger-skin chicken feet. They are also a common ingredient in the catering industry. During slaughter, transportation, and storage, chicken feet may become contaminated with blood, grease, impurities, and microorganisms. Cleaning can effectively remove these contaminants, reducing the risk of food contamination and thus protecting consumers' health.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent CN216874796U discloses a cleaning device for the production and processing of air-dried chicken feet. In reality, air-dried chicken feet are typically cleaned by hand, which cannot guarantee that every dried chicken foot is thoroughly cleaned. These uncleaned chicken feet cannot be used in later processing, affecting efficiency and labor costs. Therefore, when it is necessary to clean the air-dried chicken feet, a movable mechanism can be used. A net is then placed to feed the chicken feet into the cleaning machine, ensuring they are completely immersed.

[0004] While the aforementioned method of washing chicken feet facilitates soaking them in the washing machine, the chicken feet placed on the rack are usually piled up in large quantities. Although gaps are created between the chicken feet when they are piled up, the static chicken feet are still prone to uneven washing, resulting in low washing quality and difficulty in removing impurities. Furthermore, in the existing technology, the chicken feet are usually submerged in a washing tank by connecting an external water pipe, and then the operator manually holds the water pipe to rinse the chicken feet. This method is highly manual, wastes manpower, and is not conducive to efficient washing of chicken feet. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] As attached Figure 1-8 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a holistic cleaning device for chicken feet with a rotating spray head, including a cleaning tank 1. A drain pipe 2 is connected through one side of the cleaning tank 1, and a water-blocking cover 3 is threaded to one end of the drain pipe 2 for selective drainage as needed. A water tank 4 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the cleaning tank 1. A water inlet pipe 5 is connected through one side of the water tank 4, and a blocking cover 6 is threaded to one end of the water inlet pipe 5 to facilitate the delivery of water to the interior of the water tank 4 through the water inlet pipe 5. A conveying pipe 7 is connected through the other side of the water tank 4, and a water pump 8 is installed through one end of the conveying pipe 7. A folding pipe 9 is connected through the output end of the water pump 8 to facilitate folding or stretching according to the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 21. A connecting pipe 10 is connected through one end of the folding pipe 9, and a cleaning component is provided at one end of the connecting pipe 10.

[0034] As attached Figure 4As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating tube 11, which is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting tube 10. Spray tubes 12 are connected through both sides of the rotating tube 11. Multiple nozzles 13 are connected through the lower surface of the spray tubes 12. A mounting shaft 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating tube 11. Silicone stirring frames 14 are provided on both sides of the mounting shaft 17. The softness of the silicone makes it easy to gently stir the chicken feet. A filter plate 18 is rotatably connected to one end of the mounting shaft 17, which facilitates water filtration and easy placement of the chicken feet.

[0035] As attached Figure 6 As shown, the silicone stirring frame 14 has an installation groove 15 inside for mounting the frame 16.

[0036] As attached Figure 7 As shown, a frame 16 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting shaft 17. The frame 16 is set inside the mounting groove 15 and supports the silicone stirring frame 14.

[0037] As attached Figure 3 As shown, a filter frame 19 is fixedly connected inside the washing tub 1 to limit the chicken feet and facilitate water filtration. A worm gear 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating tube 11. A mounting plate 21 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the worm gear 20. A through hole is opened inside the mounting plate 21, and the rotating tube 11 is rotatably connected inside the through hole. A variable speed motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 21. A shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the variable speed motor 22. A worm 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the shaft 23. The worm 24 and the worm gear 20 are meshed together for the variable speed motor 22. The transmission of rotational force at the output end is achieved by a lifting assembly on the lower surface of the mounting plate 21, which includes a rack and pinion 25 to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the mounting plate 21. The rack and pinion 25 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the mounting plate 21. A stepper motor 26 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1, and a gear 27 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepper motor 26. The gear 27 and the rack and pinion 25 are meshed. A guide plate 31 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank 1 to guide the water flow. The guide plate 31 is located below the filter frame 19 and guides the water filtered out of the filter frame 19.

[0038] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting plate 21 to facilitate the installation of the sliding frame 29. A limiting rod 28 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning tub 1 for guiding the sliding of the sliding frame 29. The sliding frame 29 is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting rod 28. The sliding frame 29 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 30. When the mounting plate 21 moves, the sliding frame 29 is driven to slide outside the limiting rod 28 through the connecting frame 30, which improves the stability of the mounting plate 21 when it moves.

[0039] Working principle: In use, chicken feet are first placed above the washing tub 1 into the filter frame 19, positioned above the filter plate 18. Then, the water pump 8 is started by the control power supply of the chicken feet washing room. The water pump 8 transports water from the water tank 4 through the delivery pipe 7, through the folded pipe 9 and connecting pipe 10, to the inside of the spray pipe 12, where it is sprayed out by the nozzle 13 to rinse the chicken feet. Then, the variable speed motor 22 is started, causing the variable speed motor 22 to drive the worm gear 24 to rotate through the shaft 23. Under the action of the worm gear 24 meshing with the worm wheel 20, the worm wheel 20 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the 0-axis causes the rotating pipe 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the two spray pipes 12 and the mounting shaft 17 to rotate. When the mounting shaft 17 rotates, it causes the silicone stirring frames 14 on both sides to revolve. With the support of the frame 16, it is easy to stir the pile of chicken feet. Combined with the spray nozzle 13 to rinse the chicken feet, it is easy to clean the chicken feet. When it is not necessary to soak and clean the chicken feet, the water-blocking cover 3 is opened. After the water flows through the filter frame 19 and the filter plate 18, the guide plate 31 and the drain pipe 2 facilitate the drainage of sewage, which is convenient for rinsing the chicken feet.

[0040] When the chicken feet are being discharged, the stepper motor 26 is turned on. When the output end of the stepper motor 26 drives the gear 27 to rotate, the gear 27 will drive the rack 25 to move upward under the action of meshing with the rack rod 25. The rack rod 25 pushes the mounting plate 21 to move upward. Under the action of the rotating tube 11 connecting the mounting shaft 17 and then connecting the filter plate 18, the mounting plate 21 will pull the folding tube 9 to unfold when it moves upward, and drive the filter plate 18 to move upward inside the filter frame 19, pushing the chicken feet upward. During the upward movement, under the action of the filter holes of the filter frame 19 and the filter plate 18, it is easy to filter out the water in the chicken feet and reduce the water content. When the filter plate 18 moves to the top of the washing tank 1, it is easy for the operator to take out the chicken feet.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
