Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant cleaning technology, specifically to a cleaning and peeling device for plant pulp. Background Technology

[0002] Plants are a class of eukaryotes. The general academic understanding of plants is that they are multicellular eukaryotes with the following basic characteristics. Plant pulp refers to the original liquid extracted from the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, etc. of plants through specific techniques and processes. It retains a variety of nutrients and active substances in the plant. Before extraction, plant pulp needs to be washed and peeled. Washing is to remove surface impurities, such as soil, dust, pesticide residues, or microorganisms, to ensure the quality of subsequent plant pulp extraction. Peeling is to remove the plant epidermis to avoid coarse fibers, wax, or bitter substances from the plant epidermis, making the extracted plant pulp smoother and ensuring its safety.

[0003] CN208768906U discloses a fruit and vegetable peeling and washing device, including a machine body with a washing tank open at the top. The bottom of the washing tank is arc-shaped, and multiple main brush rollers are arranged at intervals in an arc shape along its inner wall. Each main brush roller includes a rotating shaft arranged front and rear, and multiple bristle seats arranged in the same direction are sleeved on the rotating shaft. Each bristle seat is truncated cone-shaped, and its outer surface is evenly covered with bristles. The bristle seats on adjacent main brush rollers face opposite directions. An auxiliary brush roller is arranged between the middle of the upper end of the washing tank. The auxiliary brush roller is arranged at the same height as the highest main brush roller. Both the main brush rollers and the auxiliary brush rollers are connected to an external drive motor through a chain transmission assembly, and both the main brush rollers and the auxiliary brush rollers rotate in the same direction. This novel structure is reasonably designed, easy to use, and can automatically complete the washing and peeling of fruits and vegetables, greatly improving the peeling effect and efficiency, making it suitable for farmers and households.

[0004] While existing technology CN208768906U offers many advantages during use, it still suffers from the following problems: its shielding of the machine body is not perfect. When the cleaning fluid is sprayed into the machine body through the nozzle, the impact force of the liquid will produce water mist and splashing. As a result, water mist and cleaning fluid will escape from the machine body, polluting the working environment and wasting the cleaning fluid. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a washing and peeling device for plant pulp.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a plant pulp washing and peeling device, including a body, a water inlet pipe and a sleeve. The upper outer wall of the body is provided with a cover plate, and an observation port is opened inside the cover plate. A grid is welded to the inner wall of the observation port. The water inlet pipe is screwed to the inside of the grid. A water delivery pipe is provided on the lower outer wall of the water inlet pipe. Support columns are welded to the inner walls of both the water inlet pipe and the water delivery pipe. A sleeve is provided on the outer side of the water inlet pipe, and fan blades distributed in a circular array are welded to the outer wall of the sleeve.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, workers can observe the plants being processed inside the machine through the observation port, allowing for timely adjustments to the device's operating status. The grille blocks the observation port, preventing workers' limbs from entering and avoiding injury from the fan blades, thus ensuring the safety of the device. When the plants enter the machine and are brushed and peeled by the cleaning rollers and bristles, the accompanying water pump pressurizes the cleaning liquid and delivers it to the inlet pipe. The cleaning liquid is then sprayed out through the water supply pipe, sleeve, diversion pipe, and nozzles. The purpose of cleaning plants is achieved. When the liquid flows, the sleeve is driven to rotate in a circular motion by the slurry, which in turn drives the fan blades to rotate at the upper part of the machine body. The rotation of the fan blades drives the airflow, allowing the outside airflow to flow into the machine body through the observation port. The airflow can guide the water mist inside the machine body and prevent the water mist from escaping. The rotating fan blades can form a covering surface at the observation port to block splashing water droplets. Water mist and cleaning liquid are separated from the inside of the machine body, ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment and reducing the waste of cleaning liquid.

[0008] Specifically, a circular array of cleaning rollers is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the machine body. The cleaning rollers are connected to gears by screws through one end of the outer wall of the machine body. Equally spaced parallel bristles are glued and fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning rollers. A drain port is opened on the lower outer wall of the machine body, and a discharge port is opened on one side of the outer wall of the machine body.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple gears are connected by an external chain, so that the matching drive motor can drive a single gear while working with the chain to drive the rotation of multiple gears and the cleaning roller. The cleaning brush with bristles can remove impurities and surface debris from the plants. Wastewater inside the machine can be discharged through the drain outlet, and the cleaned and peeled plants can be discharged through the discharge outlet. A baffle plate is set on the outside of the machine to block the discharge outlet and ensure that the plants are discharged in a controlled manner.

[0010] Specifically, hinges are screwed to both outer walls of the cover plate, and the other end of the hinge is screwed to the outer wall of the cover plate. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the cover plate through the hinges, and handles are installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the cover plate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate can rotate around the hinge, thereby achieving the concealment or exposure of the machine body. In the exposed state, the staff can put plants into the machine body, while in the concealed state, the cleaning roller can clean and peel the plants. With the handle, the staff can easily open or close the cover plate.

[0012] Specifically, the outer walls of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe on opposite sides are both designed in a tapered shape, and the outlet pipe is equipped with a fixing bolt that is movably installed inside. The two support columns are connected by fixing bolts.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning liquid flows in a conical shape, which can increase the flow rate and ensure the driving rotation speed of the subsequent blades on the sleeve, thus ensuring the rotation speed of the fan blades. The support column, together with the fixing bolts, can achieve the relative position stability between the water inlet pipe and the water delivery pipe.

[0014] Specifically, the outer walls of both sides of the water supply pipe are welded with diversion pipes, and the lower outer wall of the diversion pipe is threaded with equally spaced parallel nozzles. The nozzles are connected to the inside of the water supply pipe through the diversion pipes.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning liquid inside the inlet pipe flows into the water delivery pipe through the sleeve, is then diverted through the diversion pipe, and sprayed at multiple points through the nozzles to ensure uniform rinsing of the plants inside the machine.

[0016] Specifically, bearings are interference-fitted to one side of the outer wall of both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, and the outer ring of the bearing is interference-fitted to the inside of the sleeve. Sealing rings are bonded and fixed to both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve, and the two sealing rings are in contact with the outer walls of the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, respectively.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the bearing ensures the stability of the rotational position of the sleeve located outside the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. The sealing ring is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has a low coefficient of friction, thus ensuring the sealing performance of the sleeve during rotation outside the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0018] Specifically, the size of the fan blades is larger than the radius of the observation port, and the inner wall of the sleeve is welded with a circular array of blades. The blades are located between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, and the blades do not contact the support column.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning liquid flowing between the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe, together with the paddle blades, uses the impact force of the water flow to drive the sleeve to rotate, and carries the fan blades to rotate, thus blocking the observation port.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] The plant pulp cleaning and peeling device described in this utility model can guide the water mist inside the machine body to prevent the water mist from escaping the machine body, while the rotating fan blades can form a covering surface at the observation port to block splashing water droplets. The water mist and cleaning liquid are separated from the inside of the machine body, ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment and reducing the waste of cleaning liquid.

[0022] The plant pulp cleaning and peeling device described in this utility model has gaps between the fan blades, which create periodic gaps when the fan blades rotate. This allows workers to observe the cleaning status of the plants inside the machine through the rotating fan blades. The grid can block the observation port to prevent workers' limbs from entering the observation port and to prevent the fan blades from causing injury to workers, thus ensuring the safety of the device.

[0031] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0032] To save manpower and improve efficiency, as one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the plant pulp washing and peeling equipment of this utility model includes a body 1, a water inlet pipe 2 and a sleeve 3. The upper outer wall of the body 1 is provided with a cover plate 11, and an observation port 12 is opened inside the cover plate 11. A grid 13 is welded to the inner wall of the observation port 12. The water inlet pipe 2 is screwed to the inside of the grid 13. A water delivery pipe 21 is provided on the lower outer wall of the water inlet pipe 2. Support columns 24 are welded to the inner walls of both the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21. A sleeve 3 is provided on the outer side of the water inlet pipe 2. A fan blade 32 with a circular array is welded to the outer wall of the sleeve 3.

[0033] During use, staff can observe the plants being processed inside the machine body 1 through the observation port 12, allowing for timely adjustments to the device's operating status. The grille 13 blocks the observation port 12, preventing staff from entering and avoiding injury from the fan blades 32, thus ensuring the device's safety. When the plants enter the machine body 1 and are brushed and peeled by the cleaning rollers 14 and brush bristles 15, the accompanying water pump pressurizes the cleaning liquid and delivers it to the inlet pipe 2. The cleaning liquid is then sprayed out through the water supply pipe 21, sleeve 3, diversion pipe 22, and nozzle 23. This achieves the purpose of cleaning plants. When the liquid flows, the sleeve 3 is driven to rotate in a circular motion by the slurry, thereby driving the fan blades 32 to rotate at the upper end inside the body 1. When the fan blades 32 rotate, they drive the airflow, allowing the outside airflow to flow into the body 1 through the observation port 12. The airflow can guide the water mist inside the body 1, preventing the water mist from escaping from the body 1. The rotating fan blades 32 can form a covering surface at the observation port 12, blocking splashing water droplets. Water mist and cleaning liquid are removed from the inside of the body 1, ensuring the cleanliness of the working environment and reducing the waste of cleaning liquid.

[0034] For cleaning, for example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a circular array of cleaning rollers 14 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the machine body 1. The cleaning rollers 14 pass through the outer wall of one end of the machine body 1 and are connected to a gear 16 by screws. The outer wall of the cleaning rollers 14 is glued and fixed with equally spaced parallel bristles 15. A drain port is opened on the lower outer wall of the machine body 1, and a discharge port is opened on one side of the outer wall of the machine body 1.

[0035] In use, multiple gears 16 are connected by an external chain, so the matching drive motor can drive a single gear 16 while working with the chain to drive the rotation of multiple gears 16 and the cleaning roller 14. The cleaning brush with bristles 15 can remove impurities and surface debris from the plants. Wastewater inside the machine body 1 can be discharged through the drain port. The cleaned and peeled plants can be discharged through the discharge port. A baffle plate is set on the outside of the machine body 1 to block the discharge port and ensure that the plants are discharged in a controlled manner.

[0036] To conceal the processing area, for example, such as Figure 2 As shown, hinges are screwed to both outer walls of the cover plate 11, and the other end of the hinge is screwed to the outer wall of the cover plate 11. The cover plate 11 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 11 through the hinges. Handles are installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the cover plate 11.

[0037] When in use, the cover plate 11 can rotate around the hinge to cover or expose the inside of the machine body 1. In the exposed state, the staff can put plants into the machine body 1, while in the covered state, the washing roller 14 can clean and peel the plants. The handle makes it easy for the staff to open or close the cover plate 11.

[0038] To maintain a stable connection position, for example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outer walls of the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21 on opposite sides are both designed with a tapered shape. The water delivery pipe 21 is equipped with a fixing bolt 26, and the two support columns 24 are connected by the fixing bolt 26.

[0039] During use, the cleaning liquid flows in the conical shape, which can increase the flow rate and ensure the rotational speed of the subsequent drive blade 31 to the sleeve 3, ensuring the rotational speed of the fan blade 32. The support column 24, together with the fixing bolt 26, can achieve the stability of the relative position between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21.

[0040] For example, to spray water, such as Figure 5 As shown, both sides of the water supply pipe 21 are welded with diversion pipes 22. The lower end of the diversion pipe 22 is threaded with equally spaced parallel nozzles 23. The nozzles 23 are connected to the inside of the water supply pipe 21 through the diversion pipe 22.

[0041] During use, the cleaning liquid inside the inlet pipe 2 flows into the water supply pipe 21 through the sleeve 3, is then diverted through the diversion pipe 22, and sprayed at multiple points through the nozzle 23 to ensure uniform rinsing of the plants inside the machine body 1.

[0042] For rotational sealing, exemplarily, such as Figure 5As shown, bearings 25 are interference-fitted on one side of the outer wall of both the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 21, and the outer ring of the bearing 25 is interference-fitted inside the sleeve 3. Sealing rings are bonded and fixed on both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve 3, and the two sealing rings are in contact with the outer walls of the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 21, respectively.

[0043] During use, the bearing 25 ensures the stability of the rotational position of the sleeve 3 located outside the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21. The sealing ring is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, which has a low coefficient of friction on its surface, thus ensuring the sealing performance of the sleeve 3 during rotation outside the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21.

[0044] To drive rotation, for example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the size of the fan blade 32 is larger than the radius of the observation port 12. The inner wall of the sleeve 3 is welded with a circular array of blades 31. The blades 31 are located between the water inlet pipe 2 and the water delivery pipe 21, and the blades 31 do not contact the support column 24.

[0045] When in use, the cleaning liquid flowing between the inlet pipe 2 and the outlet pipe 21, together with the paddle 31, uses the impact force of the water flow to drive the sleeve 3 to rotate, and carries the fan blades 32 to rotate, thus blocking the observation port 12.

[0046] When in use, the external drive motor is turned on, and the gear 16 is driven to rotate through the chain, which in turn drives multiple cleaning rollers 14 to rotate synchronously. The bristles 15 on the surface of the cleaning rollers 14 rub the plant surface to remove impurities and epidermis. The matching water pump pressurizes the cleaning liquid and delivers it to the water inlet pipe 2. The cleaning liquid is accelerated to flow into the water delivery pipe 21 through the conical interface, and then distributed to each nozzle 23 through the diversion pipe 22 to achieve all-round rinsing of the plant.

[0047] The water flow impacts the blades 31 on the inner wall of the sleeve 3, driving the fan blades 32 on the outer wall of the sleeve 3 to rotate. The rotating fan blades 32 form a covering barrier below the observation port 12, blocking splashing water droplets, and at the same time guiding the airflow from the observation port 12 to reduce the overflow of water mist inside the body 1.

[0048] Staff can observe the working status inside the machine body 1 through the grille 13 and the observation port 12.

[0049] It should be noted that this utility model is a washing and peeling device for plant pulp.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this 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 protection claimed by this utility model.
