Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of beet cleaning equipment, specifically to a foam removal mechanism for a primary beet washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the sugar-making process of sugar beets, the recycled sugar beets, due to their high surface soil content, require multi-stage cleaning. The first step is to sieve away the soil mixed in with the sugar beets; this soil is separated from the sugar beets by a soil-screening device. After sieving, the sugar beets enter a destoner to prevent stones from entering subsequent processing steps. The sugar beets then enter a weeder to remove any roots or weeds attached to them.

[0003] The sugar beets emerging from the weeder need further cleaning to remove surface dirt and reduce the amount of dirt adhering to their surfaces. Traditional cleaning methods use a primary washing machine for initial cleaning, leaving most of the dirt in the washing tank to avoid excessive dirt content during secondary washing. However, if the secondary washing involves too much dirt, the dirt on the sugar beets adheres directly to the roller brushes, contaminating the secondary washing equipment and affecting its cleaning effectiveness.

[0004] The first-level vegetable washing machine has a washing pool. Beetroots contain saponins, which cause a lot of foam to form on the surface of the washing pool. The foam also contains dirt, which needs to be regularly cleaned by the operators. The washing pool is relatively deep, and there are safety hazards for the operators when they are working on the edge of the washing pool. In addition, the foam cleaning efficiency is low and takes up a lot of time for the operators. Utility model content:

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a foam removal mechanism for a beet washing machine. By setting up a cleaning mechanism on the washing tank, foam and other debris on the water surface can be quickly removed, replacing manual dredging and improving cleaning efficiency.

A discharge port is provided at one end of the washing tank, and the discharge port is connected to the inlet of the screw conveyor. The outlet of the screw conveyor is connected to a secondary washing machine.

[0008] Two sets of slide rails are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the cleaning pool; a connecting frame is fixed above the cleaning pool between the two sets of slide rails; a lifting base plate is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame; a lifting cylinder is fixed inside the connecting frame; the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the lifting base plate; a moving component is provided on the slide rail, and a foam pushing plate is fixed between the moving components located on both sides of the same end of the cleaning pool; the foam pushing plate gathers the foam in the cleaning pool from both ends of the cleaning pool towards the middle.

[0009] Preferably, the moving component includes: a clamping member, a flip-plate motor, a slider, a mounting plate, a rack, a gear, and a moving motor; the slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail; the mounting plate is fixed to the back of the slider; a rack is fixed to the bottom of the slide rail; a gear is movably mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate; the gear meshes with the rack; the gear is connected to the drive end of the moving motor; the clamping member is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate; the clamping member is connected to the drive end of the flip-plate motor; and a foam-dispelling plate is fixed between two sets of clamping members at the same end of the cleaning tank.

[0010] Preferably, a support plate is fixed inside the connecting frame; the lifting cylinder is fixed above the support plate; the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder is fixed to one end of the connecting rod; and the other end of the connecting rod is fixed to the lifting base plate.

[0011] Preferably, a circulation pump is provided below the cleaning tank, and the inlet of the circulation pump is connected to the bottom of one end of the cleaning tank; the outlet of the circulation pump is connected to the bottom of the inlet of the corresponding screw conveyor of the cleaning tank; and a support leg is fixed below the cleaning tank.

[0012] Preferably, the cleaning tank is provided with a liquid replenishment pipe and a liquid drain pipe; the lifting base plate has movable holes corresponding to the positions of the liquid replenishment pipe and the liquid drain pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the lifting base plate is fixed at an angle toward the outside of the cleaning pool; when the foam pushing plate is in the gathered state, it forms a cavity structure; the lifting base plate is lifted up along the bottom opening of the cavity structure; the foam pushing plate has a raised surface flush with the inside of the connecting frame.

[0014] Preferably, the water level in the cleaning tank is at least 10cm higher than the bottom edge of the foam pusher.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] After the lifting cylinder opens the lifting base plate, the lifting base plate is located below the water level. The foam pusher plate gathers the foam in the cleaning tank to the top of the lifting base plate. As the foam pusher plate and the lifting base plate gather together, they form a chamber. By lifting the base plate upward, the foam is transferred into the connecting frame, which is convenient for the operators to clean up later. This method replaces the method of manually scooping up foam. Attached image description:

A moving component 4 is provided on the slide rail 2, and a foam-pushing plate 3 is fixed between the moving components 4 on both sides of the same end of the cleaning tank 1.1; the foam-pushing plate 3 gathers the foam in the cleaning tank 1.1 from both ends towards the middle. Movable holes are provided on the lifting base plate 6 corresponding to the positions of the replenishment pipe 8 and the drain pipe 9. The lifting base plate 6 is fixed at an angle toward the outside of the cleaning pool; when the foam pushing plate 3 is in the gathered state, it forms a cavity structure; the lifting base plate 6 is lifted up along the bottom opening of the cavity structure; the body of the foam pushing plate 3 is provided with a raised surface 3.1 that is flush with the inner side of the connecting frame 5, so as to ensure that the inner wall of the foam pushing plate 3.1 is flush with the thickness of the connecting frame.

A guide plate 1.5 is fixed at the outlet, and scum is discharged through the inner side of the guide plate 1.5. Unless otherwise described, the fixing methods mentioned above all utilize welding or threaded fastening techniques commonly used by industry professionals.

[0026] The working principle is as follows:

[0027] The bottom plate 6 is lowered, and the moving component 4 moves the foam pusher 3 from both ends of the cleaning tank 1.1 toward the middle. The foam is pushed to the middle of the cleaning tank 1.1 and gathers. The foam gathers below the connecting frame 5 and is blocked by the foam pusher 3. The bottom plate 6 is then lifted to discharge the foam, making it easy for workers to clean. There is no need for workers to retrieve the foam from the cleaning tank 1.1. The cleaning can be done by washing with water.
