[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, an edamame washing device includes a water tank 11, inside which a mesh belt conveyor 12 is installed, and a metal mesh belt 13 is installed on the mesh belt conveyor 12; protrusions 14 are fixedly attached to the surface of the metal mesh belt 13, and a pair of supports 16 are fixedly attached to the top of the water tank 11. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected to the supports 16, and a hammer arm 18 is fixedly attached to the end of the rotating shaft 17. The hammer arm 18 and the protrusions 14 are positioned opposite each other, and the pair of supports 16 are located on both sides of the water tank 11.

[0024] During use, the worker pours the bean pods into the water tank 11, which is located above the metal mesh belt 13. The metal mesh belt 13 is driven by the mesh belt conveyor 12 to move and transport the bean pods. The bean pods move and are washed inside the water tank 11. During feeding, the protrusions 14 on the metal mesh belt 13 come into contact with the hammer arm 18, which pushes the hammer arm 18 to rotate and lift upward. After the hammer arm 18 and the protrusions 14 separate, the hammer arm 18 returns to its original position and strikes the metal mesh belt 13, thereby knocking the metal mesh belt 13 to generate vibration, which shakes the bean pods and removes the moisture adhering to the surface of the bean pods.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a fixed swing arm 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 17. The swing arm 32 is located above the support 16. A sleeve 21 is hinged to the bottom of the support 16. A sliding hole is slidably connected inside the sleeve 21. A guide rod 22 is slidably connected inside the sliding hole. A spring 23 is fixedly connected between the guide rod 22 and the sleeve 21. The spring 23 is sleeved on the guide rod 22. The top end of the guide rod 22 is movably connected to the swing arm 32. A screw cylinder 33 is rotatably connected to the end of the swing arm 32. The top end of the guide rod 22 is rotatably connected to a screw 31. The screw 31 passes through the middle of the screw cylinder 33. The screw 31 and the screw cylinder 33 are threaded together.

[0026] In use, the swing arm 32 is fixed on the rotating shaft 17. A guide rod 22 is installed between the swing arm 32 and the support 16. The guide rod 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21 and slidably connected. A spring 23 is sleeved on it. The spring 23 can help the hammer arm 18 to reset, thereby increasing the hammering force. In this embodiment, the top of the guide rod 22 and the swing arm 32 are movably connected by a hinge shaft.

[0027] Furthermore, the swing arm 32 and the guide rod 22 are connected by a screw 31 and a screw cylinder 33. The screw cylinder 33 rotates relative to the swing arm 32, and by rotating the screw 31, the screw 31 moves and presses against the guide rod 22 and the spring 23, thereby adjusting the elastic force of the spring 23. This allows for adjustment of the striking force of the hammer arm 18 on the metal mesh belt 13, improving its applicability. A pulley 5 is rotatably connected to the end of the hammer arm 18 near the metal mesh belt 13.

[0028] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a handwheel 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 31 away from the guide rod 22.

[0029] During use, a handwheel 4 is fixed to the end of the screw 31 away from the guide rod 22. The screw 31 can be rotated easily by the handwheel 4, which makes it convenient for workers to use and saves time and effort. A pulley 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the hammer arm 18. The pulley 5 is used to reduce the friction between the surfaces of the hammer arm 18 and the metal mesh belt 13, thereby reducing the wear of the bottom end of the hammer arm 18.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a support arm 61 is fixed to the top of the water tank 11, an air pipe 62 is fixed to the support arm 61, and a plurality of nozzles 63 are fixed to the air pipe 62, with the nozzles 63 facing the metal mesh belt 13.

[0031] In use, an external air compressor is connected to the air pipe 62 via a hose. The air compressor delivers compressed air to the air pipe 62, and the compressed air is blown from the nozzle 63 onto the metal mesh belt 13, thus conveniently assisting in shaking off water and drying.

[0032] Working principle: When in use, the staff pours the bean pods into the water tank 11, which is located above the metal mesh belt 13. The metal mesh belt 13 is driven by the mesh belt conveyor 12 to move and transport the bean pods. The bean pods move and are washed inside the water tank 11. When feeding, the protrusions 14 on the metal mesh belt 13 contact the hammer arm 18, which pushes the hammer arm 18 to rotate and lift upward. After the hammer arm 18 and the protrusions 14 separate, the hammer arm 18 resets and strikes the metal mesh belt 13, which generates vibration and shakes the bean pods, thereby removing the moisture adhering to the surface of the bean pods.

[0033] In use, the swing arm 32 is fixed on the rotating shaft 17. A guide rod 22 is installed between the swing arm 32 and the support 16. The guide rod 22 is inserted into the sleeve 21 and slidably connected. A spring 23 is sleeved on it. The spring 23 can help the hammer arm 18 to reset, thereby increasing the hammering force. In this embodiment, the top of the guide rod 22 and the swing arm 32 are movably connected by a hinge shaft.

[0034] Furthermore, the swing arm 32 and the guide rod 22 are connected by a screw 31 and a screw cylinder 33. The screw cylinder 33 rotates relative to the swing arm 32, and by rotating the screw 31, the screw 31 moves to compress the guide rod 22 and the spring 23, thereby adjusting the elasticity of the spring 23. This allows for adjustment of the striking force of the hammer arm 18 on the metal mesh belt 13, thus improving the applicability.

[0035] When in use, a handwheel 4 is fixed to the end of the screw 31 away from the guide rod 22. The screw 31 can be rotated easily by the handwheel 4, which makes it convenient for the staff to use and saves time and effort. A pulley 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the hammer arm 18. The pulley 5 is used to reduce the friction between the surfaces of the hammer arm 18 and the metal mesh belt 13, thereby reducing the wear of the bottom end of the hammer arm 18.

[0036] In use, an external air compressor is connected to the air pipe 62 via a hose. The air compressor delivers compressed air to the air pipe 62, and the compressed air is blown from the nozzle 63 onto the metal mesh belt 13, thus conveniently assisting in shaking off water and drying.
