Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of areca nut processing technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning fresh areca nuts. Background Technology

[0002] As a tropical fruit with a wide consumer market, the cleaning process of betel nut is crucial. Freshly picked betel nuts often have a lot of dirt, impurities, and pesticide residues on their surface. If they are not cleaned thoroughly, it will not only affect the quality and taste of the processed betel nut products, but may also pose a potential threat to consumers' health.

[0003] In the prior art, the patent with authorization announcement number CN 222171211 U discloses a betel nut washing device. It can rotate the nozzle by means of a rotating shaft, water storage plate, gear, electric push rod and gear plate, so that it can change its spray direction as needed to ensure that the cleaning liquid can completely cover the betel nut. However, it can only clean with cleaning liquid, and the cleaning effect is poor. At the same time, it does not have a drying function. After the cleaning is completed, the betel nut needs to be transferred to the drying workshop for drying, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a fresh areca nut washing device that can form a dual cleaning mode of "mechanical brushing + water flow impact", which can effectively remove dirt and impurities from the surface of areca nuts and has a good cleaning effect. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and hot air, areca nuts can be dried quickly, thereby improving processing efficiency and effectively solving the problems in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fresh areca nut washing device includes a frame, a PLC controller mounted on the side of the frame, a hot air blower and a nozzle mounted on the top of the frame, with the nozzle connected to an external water supply system. A turntable is rotatably connected to a central support base of the frame via a first bearing, and several mesh cylinders are rotatably connected to the turntable via a second bearing. A discharge unit is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mesh cylinder. A turntable drive mechanism for driving the turntable to rotate is mounted on the frame, and a mesh cylinder drive mechanism for driving the mesh cylinders to rotate is mounted on the top of the frame. The air outlet of the hot air blower and the nozzle of the nozzle are both oriented towards the opening of the mesh cylinders. The PLC controller is electrically connected to an external power supply, and the hot air blower is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a cleaning brush, which is evenly fixed on the inner wall of the mesh cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a baffle, which is fixed to the bottom of the turntable and positioned corresponding to the mesh cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the turntable drive mechanism includes a worm gear, a servo motor, and a worm wheel. The worm gear is mounted on the inner side of the stand of the frame, the worm wheel is fixed to the bottom of the turntable, and the worm gear meshes with the worm wheel. The servo motor is mounted on the side of the stand of the frame, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the end of the worm gear. The servo motor is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0010] Furthermore, the mesh cylinder driving mechanism includes a driven gear, a driving gear, and a stepper motor. The stepper motor is mounted on the top of the frame, the driving gear is fixed on the output shaft of the stepper motor, the driven gear is fixed at the opening of the mesh cylinder, and the driving gear and the driven gear mesh with each other. The stepper motor is electrically connected to a PLC controller.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge unit includes a switching valve and a discharge pipe, the discharge pipe being fixed to the bottom of the mesh cylinder, and the switching valve being mounted on the discharge pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This fresh areca nut washing device has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. The turntable is driven by a turntable drive mechanism to rotate the mesh cylinder containing areca nuts to different work positions. The intermittent rotation of the turntable allows multiple mesh cylinders to complete the work at different work positions simultaneously (such as washing some mesh cylinders while drying others), which greatly shortens the processing cycle of a single batch of areca nuts and is suitable for large-scale production needs.

[0014] 2. The mesh cylinder is driven to rotate by the mesh cylinder drive mechanism. The cleaning brush on the inner wall of the mesh cylinder works in conjunction with the rotation of the mesh cylinder and the precise water spray from the nozzle to form a dual cleaning mode of "mechanical brushing + water flow impact", which can effectively remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the areca nut.

[0015] 3. The mesh cylinder is driven to rotate by the mesh cylinder drive mechanism. At the same time, the hot air blower is started to blow hot air into the mesh cylinder. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and hot air, the areca nuts are dried quickly, thereby improving the processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be explained in detail through the following embodiments. The purpose of disclosing the present invention is to protect all technical improvements within the scope of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a fresh areca nut cleaning device, including a frame 1, a PLC controller 12 mounted on the side of the frame 1, a hot air blower 2 and a nozzle 10 mounted on the top of the frame 1, and the nozzle 10 connected to an external water supply system. A turntable 6 is rotatably connected to the middle support of the frame 1 via a first bearing 7. Several mesh cylinders 9 are rotatably connected to the turntable 6 via a second bearing 11. A discharge unit 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mesh cylinders 9. A turntable drive mechanism 4 for driving the turntable 6 to rotate is mounted on the frame 1. A mesh cylinder drive mechanism 5 for driving the mesh cylinders 9 to rotate is mounted on the top of the frame 1. The air outlet of the hot air blower 2 and the nozzle of the nozzle 10 are both set towards the opening of the mesh cylinders 9. The PLC controller 12 is electrically connected to an external power supply, and the hot air blower 2 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 12.

[0023] It also includes a cleaning brush 13, which is evenly fixed on the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 9. Through the synergistic effect of the cleaning brush 13 on the inner wall of the mesh cylinder 9 and the rotation of the mesh cylinder 9, combined with the precise water spraying of the nozzle 10, a dual cleaning mode of "mechanical brushing + water flow impact" is formed, which can effectively remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the areca nut, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning by traditional rinsing methods. At the same time, the cleaning brush 13 is made of soft material.

[0024] It also includes a baffle 8, which is fixed to the bottom of the turntable 6 and set at the position corresponding to the mesh cylinder 9. The baffle 8 is used to block several mesh cylinders 9, thereby preventing the mesh cylinders 9 at different workstations from being affected by the operations of other workstations.

[0025] The turntable drive mechanism 4 includes a worm gear 41, a servo motor 42, and a worm wheel 43. The worm gear 41 is mounted on the inner side of the stand of the frame 1, and the worm wheel 43 is fixed to the bottom of the turntable 6. The worm gear 41 meshes with the worm wheel 43. The servo motor 42 is mounted on the side of the stand of the frame 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 42 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm gear 41. The servo motor 42 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 12. When fresh areca nuts are placed into the mesh cylinder 9, the device is started by the PLC controller 12, and the servo motor 42 works. The output shaft of the servo motor 42 drives the worm gear 41 to rotate. Through the transmission of the worm gear 41 and the worm wheel 43, the turntable 6 is driven to rotate, rotating the mesh cylinder 9 containing areca nuts to different work positions. Through the intermittent rotation of the turntable 6, multiple mesh cylinders 9 can simultaneously complete the work at different work positions (e.g., when some mesh cylinders 9 are being washed, other mesh cylinders 9 can be dried), which greatly shortens the processing cycle of a single batch of areca nuts and is suitable for the needs of large-scale production.

[0026] The mesh cylinder drive mechanism 5 includes a driven gear 51, a driving gear 52, and a stepper motor 53. The stepper motor 53 is mounted on the top of the frame 1. The driving gear 52 is fixed on the output shaft of the stepper motor 53. The driven gear 51 is fixed at the opening of the mesh cylinder 9, and the teeth of the driving gear 52 and the driven gear 51 mesh. The stepper motor 53 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 12. When the mesh cylinder 9 containing areca nuts is rotated to the cleaning position corresponding to the nozzle 10, the stepper motor 53 starts, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 53 drives the driving gear 52 to rotate. The driving gear 52 meshes with the driven gear 53. The gear 51 meshes with the teeth, and the driven gear 51 drives the mesh cylinder 9 to rotate. At the same time, the nozzle 10 starts spraying water, and the cleaning brush 13 inside the mesh cylinder 9 scrubs the areca nuts to complete the cleaning process. After cleaning, the servo motor 42 continues to drive the turntable 6 to rotate, sending the mesh cylinder 9 to the drying station corresponding to the hot air blower 2. The stepper motor 53 drives the mesh cylinder 9 to rotate at high speed, and at the same time, the hot air blower 2 starts, blowing hot air into the mesh cylinder 9. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and hot air, the areca nuts are dried quickly, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0027] The discharge unit 3 includes a switch valve 31 and a discharge pipe 32. The discharge pipe 32 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the mesh cylinder 9. The switch valve 31 is mounted on the discharge pipe 32. After drying, the turntable 6 rotates the mesh cylinder 9 to the discharge position, opens the switch valve 31, and the areca nuts are discharged through the discharge pipe 32, completing the entire cleaning process and ensuring the rationality of the design.

[0028] The working principle of the fresh areca nut cleaning device provided by this utility model is as follows: Fresh areca nuts are placed in the mesh cylinder 9. The device is started by the PLC controller 12, and the servo motor 42 works. The output shaft of the servo motor 42 drives the worm gear 41 to rotate. Through the transmission of the worm gear 41 and the worm wheel 43, the turntable 6 is rotated, and the mesh cylinder 9 containing the areca nuts is rotated to the cleaning position corresponding to the nozzle 10. At this time, the stepper motor 53 is started, and the output shaft of the stepper motor 53 drives the drive gear 52 to rotate. The drive gear 52 meshes with the driven gear 51, and the driven gear 51 drives the mesh cylinder 9 to rotate. At the same time, the nozzle 10 starts spraying water, and the cleaning brush 13 in the mesh cylinder 9 scrubs the areca nuts to realize the cleaning process.

[0029] After cleaning, the servo motor 42 continues to drive the turntable 6 to rotate, sending the mesh cylinder 9 to the drying station corresponding to the hot air blower 2. The stepper motor 53 drives the mesh cylinder 9 to rotate at high speed, and at the same time the hot air blower 2 starts, blowing hot air into the mesh cylinder 9. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and hot air, the areca nuts are dried quickly.

[0030] After drying, the turntable 6 rotates the mesh cylinder 9 to the discharge station, opens the switch valve 31, and the areca nuts are discharged through the discharge pipe 32, completing the entire cleaning process.
