Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Ginger is the fleshy rhizome of a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus Zingiber in the family Zingiberaceae. It is irregularly shaped, with a yellowish-brown or grayish-brown surface and a pale yellow interior. It has a pungent taste and is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and active ingredients such as gingerol. It is a common seasoning used in cooking to remove fishy smells and enhance aroma. It can also be processed into foods such as candied ginger, ginger tea, and dried ginger powder. At the same time, as a traditional Chinese medicine, it has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant medicinal value. Before processing and selling, ginger needs to be cleaned to remove surface dirt, impurities, and pesticide residues.

[0003] In the prior art, Chinese Patent No. CN209995308U discloses a ginger sludge cleaning production line, including a conveyor chain plate support plate, a conveyor chain plate, and one or more cleaning boxes. The conveyor chain plate is mounted on the conveyor chain plate support plate for conveying. The conveyor chain plate support plate and the conveyor chain plate pass through the cleaning boxes. The cleaning boxes include cleaning water pipes, cleaning box bodies, cleaning branch pipes, sludge collection tanks, and cleaning horizontal pipes. By setting up cleaning horizontal pipes, ginger is cleaned from both above and below the conveyor chain plate. At the same time, water is sprayed to clean the ginger, reducing friction between ginger and metal, reducing wear, and improving the shelf life of ginger. Multiple cleaning boxes are set up so that cleaning can be performed multiple times. A sludge separation device is set at the sewage outlet of the sludge collection tank to separate and separate sludge, allowing for water reuse.

[0004] Based on the above information, it is clear that the existing ginger washing device has certain problems in actual use. It uses a conveyor chain to transport ginger into the washing tank, resulting in the ginger always being washed with only one side facing upwards, allowing only one side to contact the washing equipment. The other side, which is in close contact with the chain, is difficult to clean effectively. Furthermore, the washing process relies solely on routine rinsing through the washing pipe. The surface of the ginger is grooved and irregularly shaped, making it difficult for ordinary water flow to generate sufficient impact to move the stubbornly attached mud and sand. This significantly reduces the washing effect and seriously affects the subsequent processing and sales quality of the ginger. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for ginger, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, where ginger is always facing upwards during the cleaning process, and only one side can contact the cleaning equipment, while the other side, which is in close contact with the chain plate, is difficult to clean effectively. Furthermore, the cleaning process relies solely on the cleaning pipe for routine rinsing, and the surface of ginger is crisscrossed with grooves and has an irregular shape, so ordinary water flow cannot generate enough impact force to shake off the stubborn mud and sand, resulting in a significant reduction in the cleaning effect and seriously affecting the subsequent processing and sales quality of ginger.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for ginger, comprising a main body, an inlet at the end of the main body, a cleaning box at the top of the main body, a cleaning mechanism for brushing the surface of ginger inside the cleaning box, the cleaning mechanism including a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt disposed inside the cleaning box, a rotating shaft slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cleaning box, and a cleaning roller rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a rinsing pipe on the inner wall of the cleaning box, and a linkage mechanism for driving the cleaning roller on the outer wall of the cleaning box.

[0007] Furthermore, the first conveyor belt is located at the end of the cleaning tank near the feed inlet, and the second conveyor belt is located at the end of the cleaning tank away from the first conveyor belt, and the horizontal plane of the top of the second conveyor belt is lower than the horizontal plane of the top of the first conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, two sets of cleaning rollers are provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and the outer walls of the two sets of cleaning rollers are respectively attached to the top of the first conveyor belt and the top of the second conveyor belt. The rinsing pipes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cleaning rollers, and rinsing nozzles are provided at equal intervals at the bottom of the rinsing pipes.

[0009] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes an end face gear fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft, a sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, a sliding rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding groove, and a slider rotatably connected to the end of the rotating shaft is slidably installed on the outer wall of the sliding rod, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main body of the device, and a long gear and a driving bevel gear are fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor, a transmission shaft is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a transmission bevel gear is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft, and a driven rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a driven bevel gear is fixedly installed at the end of the driven rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, two sets of slide rods are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the slide groove, and compression springs are sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rods. One end of the compression spring is in contact with the inner wall of the top of the slide groove, and the other end of the compression spring is in contact with the outer wall of the top of the slider. The outer wall of the slider is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove, and the sliders are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rotation shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the end face gear meshes with the long gear, and the length of the long gear is the same as the length of the slide groove. The long gear is set perpendicular to the ground, and the long gear is fixedly installed on the end of the driven shaft away from the driven bevel gear.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission shaft is located between the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear, and the transmission bevel gears are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the transmission shaft, and the two sets of transmission bevel gears mesh with the driving bevel gear and the driven bevel gear respectively.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This ginger cleaning device, by setting up a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and a corresponding cleaning roller, allows ginger to enter through the feed inlet. First, the ginger is brushed by the cleaning roller on the first conveyor belt. Because the top of the second conveyor belt is lower than the first conveyor belt, the ginger flips as it moves from the first to the second conveyor belt, so that the side originally in contact with the first conveyor belt faces upwards and is then brushed by the cleaning roller on the second conveyor belt. Simultaneously, the rinsing nozzles at the bottom of the rinsing pipe spray water to rinse the ginger, achieving comprehensive and thorough cleaning of the ginger surface. This effectively solves the problem of difficulty in cleaning only one side of the ginger in existing technologies and significantly improves the cleaning effect.

[0015] 2. Through the linkage mechanism, the long gear at the output end of the drive motor meshes with the end face gear at the end of one set of rotating shafts, driving the rotating shafts to rotate, thereby causing the cleaning rollers to rotate and scrub the ginger. The driving bevel gear drives the driven shaft to rotate through the transmission shaft and the transmission bevel gear. The long gear at the end of the driven shaft can drive another set of cleaning rollers to work. Only one drive motor is needed to realize the linkage operation of multiple components of the cleaning device, reducing the use of power equipment, reducing costs, and realizing the automated operation of the cleaning process, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0016] 3. The symmetrically arranged rinsing pipes inside the cleaning tank can spray water to rinse the ginger from both sides while the cleaning rollers are brushing it. The water flow, combined with the brushing action of the rollers, generates a stronger impact on the stubborn dirt and sand in the grooves of the ginger surface, effectively removing stubborn stains. Compared with the traditional method of rinsing with water alone, this greatly improves the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The present invention provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for ginger, comprising a device body 1, an inlet 101 at the end of the device body 1, a cleaning box 4 at the top of the device body 1, a cleaning mechanism for brushing the surface of ginger inside the cleaning box 4, the cleaning mechanism including a first conveyor belt 2 and a second conveyor belt 3 disposed inside the cleaning box 4, a rotating shaft 501 slidably mounted on the inner wall of the cleaning box 4, and a cleaning roller 5 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 501, a rinsing pipe 401 disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 4, the first conveyor belt 2 being located at the end of the cleaning box 4 near the inlet 101, the second conveyor belt 3 being located at the end of the cleaning box 4 away from the first conveyor belt 2, and the top of the second conveyor belt 3 being at a lower level than the top of the first conveyor belt 2, two sets of cleaning rollers 5 being disposed on the inner wall of the cleaning box 4, and the outer walls of the two sets of cleaning rollers 5 being respectively in contact with the top of the first conveyor belt 2 and the top of the second conveyor belt 3, the rinsing pipe 401 being symmetrically disposed on both sides of the cleaning rollers 5, and rinsing nozzles being disposed at equal intervals at the bottom of the rinsing pipe 401.

[0026] Ginger falls through the feed inlet 101 at the end of the main body 1 onto the first conveyor belt 2 located near the feed inlet 101 at the end of the cleaning tank 4. The first conveyor belt 2 rotates, moving the ginger forward. At this time, the cleaning roller 5, which is in contact with the top of the first conveyor belt 2, rotates at high speed under the drive of the rotating shaft 501, brushing the surface of the ginger to initially remove dirt and impurities. Since the top of the second conveyor belt 3 is at a lower level than the first conveyor belt 2, the ginger will tip over due to the height difference when moving from the first conveyor belt 2 to the second conveyor belt 3. The ginger is rotated so that the side that was originally pressed against the first conveyor belt 2 is facing upwards. Then, the ginger continues to move forward on the second conveyor belt 3. Another set of cleaning rollers 5, which are in contact with the top of the second conveyor belt 3, brushes the ginger again. At the same time, the rinsing pipes 401, which are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 4, spray water synchronously from the rinsing nozzles at equal intervals at their bottoms. The water flow, in conjunction with the brushing action of the cleaning rollers 5, washes the surface of the ginger in all directions. In particular, the stubborn mud and sand in the grooves of the ginger surface are effectively removed under the combined action of the two, achieving a deep cleaning of the ginger surface without dead angles.

[0027] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 1-6Based on Embodiment 1, a linkage mechanism is also disclosed, the specific structure of which is as follows: The outer wall of the cleaning tank 4 is provided with a linkage mechanism for driving the cleaning roller 5. The linkage mechanism includes an end face gear 502 fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 501. The outer wall of the cleaning tank 4 is provided with a slide groove 402, and a slide rod 9 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide groove 402. A slider 504 rotatably connected to the end of the rotating shaft 501 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the slide rod 9. A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the device body 1, and a long gear 503 and a driving bevel gear 601 are fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 6. A transmission shaft 7 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 4, and a transmission bevel gear 701 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating shaft 501. A driven rotating shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 4, and a driven bevel gear 801 is fixedly installed at the end of the driven rotating shaft 8.

[0028] like Figures 2-6 As shown, two sets of slide rods 9 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the slide groove 402, and compression springs 901 are sleeved on the outer wall of the slide rods 9. One end of the compression spring 901 is in contact with the inner wall of the top of the slide groove 402, and the other end of the compression spring 901 is in contact with the outer wall of the top of the slider 504. The outer wall of the slider 504 is in contact with the inner wall of the slide groove 402, and the slider 504 is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 501.

[0029] like Figures 3-6 As shown, the end face gear 502 is meshed with the long gear 503, and the length of the long gear 503 is the same as the length of the slide groove 402. The long gear 503 is set perpendicular to the ground. The long gear 503 is fixedly installed at the end of the driven shaft 8 away from the driven bevel gear 801. The transmission shaft 7 is located between the driving bevel gear 601 and the driven bevel gear 801, and the transmission bevel gears 701 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the transmission shaft 7. The two sets of transmission bevel gears 701 mesh with the driving bevel gear 601 and the driven bevel gear 801, respectively.

[0030] After the drive motor 6 on the outer wall of the main body 1 is started, the long gear 503 fixedly installed at its output end meshes with the end face gear 502 at the end of the rotating shaft 501. Since the length of the long gear 503 is the same as the length of the groove 402 opened on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 4, and the long gear 503 is set perpendicular to the ground, under the drive of the drive motor 6, the long gear 503 rotates and drives the end face gear 502 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 501 causes the cleaning roller 5 installed on the outer wall to start rotating. At the same time, the driving bevel gear 601 at the output end of the drive motor 6 drives the driven rotating shaft 8 installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 4 to rotate through the transmission bevel gears 701 at both ends of the transmission shaft 7. The driven bevel gear 801 at the end of the driven rotating shaft 8 meshes with the transmission bevel gear 701 to ensure effective power. The transmission mechanism involves a long gear 503 fixedly installed at one end of the driven shaft 8 away from the driven bevel gear 801, which can drive another set of cleaning rollers 5 to work. In this way, the linkage operation of multiple components of the entire cleaning device is achieved by relying on only one drive motor 6. When ginger of different sizes passes through the bottom of the cleaning roller 5, the ginger squeezes the cleaning roller 5, thereby driving the slider 504 at the end of the rotating shaft 501 to slide on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 4. The slider 504 slides on the slide rod 9, and the compression spring 901 outside the slide rod 9 plays a squeezing and stabilizing role. At the same time, the end face gear 502 slides on the outer wall of the long gear 503 while the cleaning roller 5 slides, thereby achieving thorough cleaning of ginger of different sizes without affecting the normal operation of the linkage mechanism, ensuring that the cleaning work is carried out efficiently and stably.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
