Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dish cleaning technology, and in particular to a chain-type large dishwasher. Background Technology
[0002] With socio-economic development and scientific and technological progress, the living standards of Chinese residents have significantly improved, driving the continuous expansion of the catering service industry. As a fundamental tool in catering services, the efficiency and quality of tableware cleaning directly impact food safety and service experience; therefore, tableware cleaning has become a crucial aspect that the catering industry urgently needs to optimize.
[0003] In the field of commercial kitchen equipment technology, chain-type large dishwashers are widely used for the bulk dishwashing needs of restaurants, canteens, and other places due to their advantages of continuous and automated operation. Existing chain-type dishwashers usually adopt a segmented cleaning process, that is, the dishes are driven by a chain drive device through the descaling, washing, rinsing and drying areas in sequence to achieve efficient cleaning. Some equipment has a simple spray device or fixed filter screen in the descaling area, and the main washing area relies on a single brush or high-pressure water jet for cleaning. In actual use, many problems have been exposed. On the one hand, the descaling function of existing equipment is weak. Simple spray or filter screen is difficult to effectively remove large pieces of residue and grease adhering to the surface of the dishes, which increases the burden on subsequent washing stages, increases the amount of detergent used and the cleaning effect is not good. On the other hand, during the transportation in the main washing area, the dishes are prone to collision due to the vibration or speed fluctuation of the chain drive, resulting in damage or deformation of the dishes. At the same time, the displacement caused by the collision will also affect the uniformity of cleaning. In addition, the rigid protective structure or single buffer component used by some dishwashers cannot flexibly adjust the protective force according to the size and weight differences of the dishes, resulting in poor versatility and high maintenance costs.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a chain-type large dishwasher to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a chain-type large dishwasher.
[0006] This utility model provides a chain-type large dishwasher, which includes a slag removal zone, a main washing zone, a rinsing zone, and a drying zone arranged sequentially along the washing process. The slag removal zone is equipped with multiple brushes with cleaning functions for the initial slag removal of the dishes to be washed. The main washing zone is equipped with two baffles and elastic protective components to prevent the dishes from colliding during chain transport. The elastic protective components include multiple springs and connecting rods, and the chain linkage enables continuous operation of slag removal, buffering and anti-collision, washing, and drying.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-5 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a chain-type large dishwasher provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the slag removal zone; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the main washing area; Figure 4 for Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the brush. Figure 5 for Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the protective plate.
[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a chain-type large dishwasher including a slag removal zone 1, a main washing zone 2, a rinsing zone 3 and a drying zone 4 arranged sequentially along the washing process; a chain 9 runs through each functional zone; the slag removal zone 1 is equipped with multiple brushes 6 with cleaning functions for the initial slag removal of the dishes to be washed.The main washing area 2 is equipped with two baffles 7 and elastic protective components to prevent bowls from colliding during transport by the chain 9. The baffles 7 are fixed to the side wall of the equipment with bolts. The elastic protective components include multiple springs 15 and connecting rods 10. The chain 9 enables continuous operation of slag removal, buffering against collisions, washing, and drying. The chain 9 is driven by a servo motor through a reduction gear set. The slag removal area 1 has two left-right distributed fixing plates 5, which are welded to the main frame of the equipment. Each fixing plate 5 has a mounting plate 13 fixedly attached. Multiple brushes 6 are fixedly connected to each mounting plate 13. The brushes 6 are arranged in an array, with their cleaning ends corresponding to the conveying path of the chain 9. The multiple brushes 6 are densely arranged in a matrix with the mounting plates 13. The cleaning of the brushes 6... The brush 6 is precisely aligned with the transport path of the chain 9, forming a three-dimensional cleaning system covering the bowls. As the bowls pass through the chain 9 at a uniform speed, the brush 6, in conjunction with the water flow, can quickly remove large particles of dirt such as rice clumps and sauce residue from the surface of the bowls, effectively reducing the pressure on the main washing area. Each of the fixed plates 5 has a first slot 11 and a second slot 12. A mounting plate 13 is fixedly connected to each of the first slots 11 to ensure its stable fixation. A limiting plate 14 is fixedly connected to each of the second slots 12, penetrating the mounting plate 13 and limiting its displacement to prevent the brush 6 from shaking or the mounting plate 13 from loosening during operation. Protective plates 8 are fixedly connected to the opposing sides of the two baffles 7, and the inner sides of the protective plates 8 are reinforced with springs. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to spring 15. When the dishes are transported to the main washing area 2 via chain 9, the protective plate 8 prevents them from shifting. Spring 15 buffers the vibration and impact of transportation. Two parallel baffles 7 are fixed to the protective plate 8 on opposite sides. The protective plate 8 uses a highly elastic composite material instead of traditional rigid material, which has excellent buffering and energy absorption characteristics. It can withstand the elastic deformation generated when the dishes collide, effectively reducing the damage to the dishes. The surface is treated with anti-slip texture to increase the friction when in contact with the dishes and prevent the dishes from rebounding after collision and causing secondary collisions. A protective sleeve 16 is fitted around the outer periphery of spring 15. The inner diameter of the protective sleeve 16 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of spring 15 to ensure that spring 15 can contract freely. One end of spring 15 is fixedly connected to the inside of baffle 7, away from the outside. A connecting rod 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the baffle 7. A double buffer structure is formed between the protective plate 8 and the baffle 7 via multiple springs 15 and the connecting rod 10. When the bowl is transported by the chain 9 and deviates, impacting the protective plate 8, the highly elastic polyurethane material first absorbs part of the impact force through its own deformation. Subsequently, the springs 15 compress to further buffer the remaining kinetic energy. The protective sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to a cylindrical groove opened inside the baffle 7. Each baffle 7 has at least two cylindrical grooves, symmetrically distributed, ensuring that the protective plate 8 is evenly stressed when subjected to impact. Each cylindrical groove is equipped with a spring 15. The axis of the cylindrical groove is perpendicular to the protective plate 8, and a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical groove to promptly drain water entering the groove and prevent the springs 15 from rusting.
[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the chain-type large dishwasher starts, the dishes to be washed are placed on the support frame of the chain 9. As the chain rotates, the dishes are transported to the residue removal zone 1. The residue removal zone 1 is pre-filled with warm water to form a soaking pool. After the dishes are immersed in the water, the stubborn residue is softened and the oil is separated through soaking for 2-3 minutes. At this time, when the brush 6 fixed to the mounting plate 13 moves with the chain 9, the surface of the dishes on the chain 9 generates relative friction with the stationary brush bristles, which helps to peel off the softened large pieces of residue. The dishes that have completed soaking continue to enter the main washing zone 2 with the chain 9. During the transportation process, if the dishes shift due to chain vibration or uneven placement, the protective plate 8 of the main washing zone 2 will come into contact with the dishes first. The protective plate 8 is made of elastic material and will then undergo elastic deformation to absorb part of the impact force. If the impact force continues to increase, the spring 15 will be compressed, converting the remaining impact force into elasticity. Potential energy, through double buffering, effectively reduces the risk of dish breakage. At the same time, the spray system in the main washing zone 2 sprays water containing detergent to deeply clean the dishes. After the main washing, the dishes are then transported to the rinsing zone 3. The rinsing zone adopts a multi-stage countercurrent rinsing process. The dishes first undergo a primary rinsing using wastewater filtered from the main washing, which initially removes most of the detergent from the surface. Then, they enter the subsequent rinsing stages to gradually and thoroughly remove detergent residue from the dishes. After rinsing, the dishes finally enter the drying zone 4. The infrared heating tubes and centrifugal fans in the drying zone 4 work together to generate hot air circulation, quickly evaporating the moisture on the surface of the dishes and drying them. They are then output by the end conveyor belt, completing the entire cleaning process. Throughout the process, the chain 9 operates continuously and stably, driving the dishes through each functional zone in sequence, ensuring that the work of each area is closely connected, and achieving efficient and continuous tableware cleaning operations.
