Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yam processing technology, specifically a cleaning device for yam processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the yam processing industry, cleaning, as the initial and crucial step, plays a decisive role in product quality. As the yam industry continues to expand, evolving from the primary sale of fresh yams to a diverse range of deep-processed products including yam slices, yam powder, and canned yams, the market demands higher efficiency and cleanliness in yam cleaning. The cleaning process not only affects subsequent processing steps but also impacts product safety and quality stability.

[0003] Utility model patent application number CN202122996929.2 discloses a yam cleaning device for yam powder processing. This device includes a cleaning mechanism and a water supply device. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank, a door installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank, and a spray assembly installed at the top inner side of the cleaning tank. Rotatable mounting plates are installed on both inner walls of the cleaning tank. Parallel rotating rollers are connected between the two mounting plates, and an inclined receiving mesh plate is installed. A baffle is installed at the bottom of the receiving mesh plate. This utility model utilizes mounting plates rotatably connected to both inner walls of the cleaning tank, with rotating rollers installed between the two mounting plates and a receiving mesh plate between them. Rotating the mounting plates causes the receiving mesh plate to flip below the rotating rollers, causing the yams on the rollers to fall onto the receiving mesh plate and accumulate near the door for easy removal.

[0004] Although the yam washing device for yam powder processing makes it easy to remove the washed yams, the device still has the following problems in actual use: the device transfers the washed yams to the receiving screen by flipping the mounting plate. During this flipping process, the yams on the rollers are prone to falling into the gaps on both sides of the receiving screen and into the water tank. At the same time, under the action of gravity, the fallen yams will fall directly onto the receiving screen, which will cause damage to the yams. In view of this, we propose a yam washing device for yam processing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for yam processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning device for yam processing, comprising:

[0008] The box body is open at the top; a notch is opened on the front side of the box body, and a shell is fixed at the notch. A collection trough for collecting yams is opened on the top of the shell, and a drainage trough is opened at the bottom rear of the shell. An inclined elastic net is fixed in the collection trough; a first motor is installed at the lower right end of the box body.

[0009] The spraying mechanism is used to spray water to clean the yams inside the box and is fixedly installed on the top of the box.

[0010] A tilting support mechanism, used to support yams for cleaning, is installed inside the opening of the box. It includes two symmetrical side plates, with multiple cleaning rollers rotatably mounted on the front side between the two side plates, and adjacent cleaning rollers rotating in opposite directions. A second motor for driving the cleaning rollers is installed on the outer wall of the right side plate. A drive shaft is fixed on the rear side between the two side plates, with both ends of the drive shaft passing through the side plates. The right end of the drive shaft passes through the outer wall of the box and is coaxially keyed to a first sprocket. A second sprocket is located below the first sprocket, and a chain meshes between the first and second sprockets. The output shaft of the first motor is coaxially keyed to the second sprocket.

[0011] Preferably, a drain outlet is installed at the lower right end face of the box, and the drain outlet is connected to the interior of the box.

[0012] Preferably, the size of the notch is adapted to the size of the housing, and the housing is coated with waterproof sealant where it passes through the notch.

[0013] Preferably, a mounting plate is also fixedly connected to the lower right end face of the housing by bolts, and the first motor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate by bolts.

[0014] Preferably, the spraying mechanism includes two symmetrical and hollow boxes. The bottom of the boxes is fixedly connected to the top of the housing by bolts.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0031] This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0032] Please see Figures 1-2 As shown, a yam processing cleaning device includes a box body 1 with an open top; a notch 10 is provided on the front end face of the box body 1, and a shell 11 is fixed at the notch 10; a collection trough 110 for collecting yams is provided on the top of the shell 11; a drainage trough 111 is provided at the bottom rear end of the shell 11; an inclined elastic net 12 is fixed inside the collection trough 110; a first motor 14 is installed below the right end face of the box body 1.

[0033] With the above-mentioned design, the top opening of the box 1 facilitates the placement and washing of yams; the cooperation between the notch 10 and the shell 11 allows the collection trough 110 to effectively receive the washed yams, achieving initial separation of yams and wastewater; the inclined elastic net 12 allows the wastewater to slide naturally into the drainage trough 111 for discharge when collecting yams, while the elastic material prevents the yams from being damaged by collision; the first motor 14 provides a power source for the subsequent transmission structure, laying the foundation for the operation of the entire device.

[0034] In this embodiment, a drain outlet 13 is installed at the lower right end face of the housing 1, and the drain outlet 13 is connected to the interior of the housing 1. The drain outlet 13 facilitates the centralized discharge of solid waste such as mud, sand, and impurities deposited inside the housing 1, preventing them from accumulating inside the housing and affecting the cleaning effect and the operation of the device, thus ensuring a smooth cleaning process.

[0035] In this embodiment, the size of the notch 10 is adapted to the size of the housing 11, and the housing 11 is coated with waterproof sealant where it passes through the notch 10. The adapted size ensures that the housing 11 is firmly installed at the notch 10, enhancing the stability of the overall structure; the waterproof sealant can effectively prevent water from leaking from the connection during the cleaning process, protect other components of the device from water corrosion, and extend the service life of the device.

[0036] In this embodiment, a mounting plate is also fixedly connected to the lower right end face of the housing 1 by bolts, and the first motor 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate by bolts. The connection method of the mounting plate and bolts makes it convenient to install and disassemble the first motor 14, and facilitates the inspection and replacement of the motor; at the same time, it enhances the firmness of the installation of the first motor 14, ensuring that it outputs power stably during operation.

[0037] It is understood that a shock-absorbing pad can be provided between the first motor 14 and the mounting plate in this embodiment to reduce the vibration and noise generated when the first motor 14 is running, and to prevent the components from becoming loose due to vibration.

[0038] Furthermore, the elastic net 12 adopts an inclined design with a lower front and a higher back. The inclined net surface utilizes the component of gravity to allow the washed yams to slide naturally along the surface of the elastic net 12 to the lower front of the collection tank 110. Workers can simply pick them up directly from the front of the collection tank, making the operation convenient and quick. At the same time, the elastic net 12 can be made of high-strength rubber elastomer or modified polyurethane elastic material. These materials have excellent elastic recovery performance, which can quickly generate buffer deformation when the yams fall, avoiding mechanical damage to the yams due to collision. They also have wear-resistant and acid and alkali corrosion-resistant properties, and can adapt to the water immersion and detergent contact environment during the washing process. In addition, the mesh size of the elastic net 12 is appropriate, so that the elastic net 12 will not trap mud and impurities while collecting yams.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the spraying mechanism 2 is used to spray water to clean the yams inside the box 1, and is fixedly installed on the top of the box 1. The spraying mechanism 2 includes two symmetrical and hollow boxes 20. The bottom of the box 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1 by bolts. Multiple connecting pipes 22 are fixed between the two boxes 20. Multiple nozzles 23 for spraying water to clean the yams are fixed at the bottom of the connecting pipes 22. A water inlet 21 is installed on the front end face of the front box 20.

[0040] With the above setup, the design of two symmetrical hollow boxes 20 can evenly distribute the water flow. The water flow is transmitted to each nozzle 23 through the connecting pipe 22, ensuring large-area and uniform water spraying and cleaning of the yams in the box 1, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect. At the same time, multiple nozzles 23 are installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 22, and the angle and position of the nozzles 23 can be flexibly adjusted according to the distribution of the yams in the box 1, so as to achieve precise rinsing of all parts of the yams and ensure that there are no dead corners in the cleaning.

[0041] It is understood that the spraying mechanism 2 in this embodiment can obtain water from an external municipal water supply network. By securely connecting the water supply pipe to the inlet 21 and opening the valve, the pressure within the municipal network causes water to continuously flow into the front housing 20. This method provides a stable water supply, ensuring sufficient water for the cleaning device, meeting the water requirements of large-scale yam cleaning operations, and ensuring uninterrupted cleaning.

[0042] Please see Figures 4-5As shown, the flip-type carrying mechanism 3 is used to carry yams for cleaning and is installed in the opening of the box 1. It includes two symmetrical side plates 30, and multiple cleaning rollers 32 are rotatably mounted on the front side between the two side plates 30, with adjacent cleaning rollers 32 rotating in opposite directions. A second motor 34 for driving the cleaning rollers 32 is installed on the outer wall of the right side plate 30. A drive shaft 35 is fixed on the rear side between the two side plates 30. Both ends of the drive shaft 35 pass through the side plates 30, and the right end of the drive shaft 35 passes through the outer wall of the box 1 and is coaxially keyed to a first sprocket 36. A second sprocket 38 is provided below the first sprocket 36, and a chain 37 meshes between the first sprocket 36 and the second sprocket 38. The output shaft of the first motor 14 is coaxially keyed to the second sprocket 38.

[0043] With the above configuration, the two symmetrical side plates 30 provide a stable mounting base for the components, ensuring structural stability. Multiple washing rollers 32 rotate in opposite directions, allowing the yams to be fully tumbled and agitated, improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning. The second motor 34 directly drives the washing rollers 32, ensuring efficient power transmission and precise speed control to adapt to different yam cleaning needs. The transmission system, consisting of a drive shaft 35, sprockets, and chain, transmits power from the first motor 14 to achieve mechanism rotation, integrating cleaning and discharging functions. The compact structure reduces costs and improves space utilization.

[0044] In this embodiment, a support plate 31 is fixed at the rear side between the two side plates 30, and both ends of the support plate 31 are fixedly connected to the side plates 30 by bolts. The support plate 31 is bolted between the two side plates 30, which enhances the lateral connection strength between the side plates 30, effectively preventing the side plates 30 from deforming or displacing during the rotation of the cleaning roller and the flipping of the flipping bearing mechanism 3, and further improving the overall rigidity and stability of the flipping bearing mechanism 3.

[0045] In this embodiment, a waterproof cover 33 is fixed to the right end face of the side plate 30 located on the right side outside the second motor 34. The waterproof cover 33 is fixedly connected to the side plate 30 by bolts. The waterproof cover 33 is fixed to the side plate 30 by bolts, which can effectively block splashing water during the cleaning process, prevent the second motor 34 from short-circuiting, degrading insulation performance and other failures caused by water ingress, extend the service life of the motor and ensure the stable operation of the cleaning roller drive system.

[0046] In this embodiment, an O-ring is provided where the drive shaft 35 passes through the housing 1, and the O-ring is made of rubber. The rubber O-ring is installed at the through hole between the drive shaft 35 and the housing 1. Utilizing its elastic deformation characteristics, the rubber O-ring tightly fits the drive shaft and the housing hole wall, effectively preventing water and impurities inside the housing from entering the outside of the housing. This prevents contamination and corrosion of transmission components such as the first sprocket 36 and the second sprocket 38, ensuring the reliability of the transmission system.

[0047] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the second motor 34 is preferably a waterproof motor. Since a large amount of water is sprayed and water vapor permeates the housing 1 during operation, ordinary motors are easily damaged by water ingress in such a humid environment. The waterproof motor has a special sealing structure, such as using high-quality sealant to fill the seams of the outer casing and equipping the protruding part of the motor shaft with a waterproof sealing ring, which effectively prevents moisture from penetrating the internal electrical components and windings. This allows the waterproof motor to operate stably even in a high-humidity, water-splashed working environment for extended periods, continuously providing reliable power to the cleaning roller 32.

[0048] It is worth noting that the first motor 14 and the second motor 34 involved in this embodiment are existing conventional technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] In practical use, firstly, the yam to be cleaned is placed into the top opening of the box 1 and placed on the multiple cleaning rollers 32 of the flip-type bearing mechanism 3. The user starts the second motor 34, and the output shaft of the second motor 34 drives the cleaning rollers 32 to rotate, so that the adjacent cleaning rollers 32 rotate in opposite directions. The friction force drives the yam to tumble between the rollers, achieving all-round brushing. Then, the spraying mechanism 2 connects to the water source through the water inlet 21. The water flows through the box 20 and the connecting pipe 22 to the bottom nozzle 23, spraying water onto the yam and the cleaning rollers 32 to help wash away surface mud and impurities. Then, the wastewater generated during cleaning, mixed with impurities, falls along the gaps between the cleaning rollers 32 to the bottom of the box 1 and is discharged through the drain outlet 13. The sewage that falls into the shell 11 passes through the elastic net 12 and is discharged into the box 1 through the drain trough 111.

[0050] When unloading is required, the user starts the first motor 14. The first motor 14 starts working, and its output shaft drives the second sprocket 38 to rotate. Through the chain 37, it drives the first sprocket 36 and the transmission shaft 35 to rotate, thereby causing the two side plates 30 to flip synchronously. The washing roller 32 flips synchronously with the side plates 30. As the washing roller 32 tilts, the yam slides down onto the elastic net 12 inside the shell 11, and the unloading is completed.

[0051] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
