Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning machine technology, and in particular to a pepper raw material cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] Sichuan pepper is a deciduous small tree belonging to the Rutaceae family and the Zanthoxylum genus. It is a forest product that is both medicinal and edible. The product organ is the fruit, which grows on the branches. It is a unique Chinese medicinal herb and edible spice. As an important part of Sichuan cuisine, it plays a key role in its flavor. There are many pollution problems in the planting and harvesting of Sichuan pepper, such as mud, insect eggs and pesticide residues. Therefore, it needs to be cleaned before processing.
[0003] Currently, most pepper cleaning is done manually. Manual cleaning of pepper requires repeated actions, and prolonged bending and lifting can cause physical discomfort and occupational injuries for workers, resulting in challenges such as high labor intensity and poor working conditions.

The first roller 13 and the second roller 14 are connected... A connecting belt 15 is movably installed on the two roller shafts 14. A connecting frame 18 is fixedly installed on the outside of the connecting belt 15. A grid 19 is fixedly installed on the connecting frame 18. An exhaust pipe 22 is set in the middle of the washing tank 2. Water is injected into the device through the water inlet 5 so that the water level in the device is higher than the connection between the connecting cover 1 and the washing tank 2. Then, the drive motor 8 is started to drive the first roller shaft 13 to rotate. Then, the peppercorns to be washed are poured into the connecting cover 1 from the feed inlet 6. After the peppercorns enter the connecting cover 1, they will fall onto the connecting belt 15.
[0023] In this embodiment, connecting rods 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the first roller shaft 13. The first roller shaft 13 is movably installed inside the connecting cover 1 through the connecting rods 16. The output end of the drive motor 8 is fixedly connected to the connecting rods 16. Fixing rods 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the second roller shaft 14. The second roller shaft 14 is movably installed inside the connecting cover 1 through the fixing rods 17. The rotation of the first roller shaft 13 can drive the connecting belt 15 to rotate. The connecting frame 18 on the connecting belt 15 can continuously push the peppercorns downward. When the peppercorns move to the rightmost side inside the connecting cover 1, the peppercorns will fall into the washing tank 2 for washing.
[0024] In this embodiment, a movable groove 20 is provided at the top of the connecting frame 18, and a pulley 21 is movably installed in the movable groove 20. The pulley 21 contacts the inner wall of the connecting cover 1, thereby reducing the friction between the connecting frame 18 and the inner wall of the connecting cover 1.
[0025] In this embodiment, a fixing plate 10 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cleaning box 2 at the position corresponding to the exhaust pipe 22. The right end of the exhaust pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 10. A fixing block 12 is fixedly installed on the outer right end of the fixing plate 10. A connecting pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the fixing block 12. The exhaust pipe 22 penetrates the fixing plate 10 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting pipe 11. An air pump 9 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the cleaning box 2. The left end of the connecting pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 9. Nozzles 23 are installed at equal intervals on the top of the exhaust pipe 22. When the air pump 9 is started, external air is pressurized and delivered to the connecting pipe 11.

The bubbles impact the peppercorns and can clean the mud, sand and insect eggs on the peppercorns.
[0026] In this embodiment, a discharge port 7 is provided at the bottom left end of the connecting cover 1. The washed peppercorns are pushed further by the connecting frame 18 on the connecting belt 15. When the peppercorns pass through the discharge port 7, they will fall out of the discharge port 7, completing the washing process.
[0027] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: In use, water is injected into the device through the water inlet 5 so that the water level in the device is higher than the connection between the connecting cover 1 and the cleaning tank 2. Then, the drive motor 8 is started to drive the first roller shaft 13 to rotate. Then, the peppercorns to be cleaned are poured into the connecting cover 1 through the feed inlet 6. After the peppercorns enter the connecting cover 1, they will fall onto the connecting belt 15. The rotation of the first roller shaft 13 can drive the connecting belt 15 to rotate. The connecting frame 18 on the connecting belt 15 can continuously push the peppercorns downward. When the peppercorns move to the rightmost side of the connecting cover 1, the peppercorns will fall into the cleaning tank 2 for cleaning. Since the peppercorns will float in the water after entering the water, On the surface, the peppercorns are pressed against the connecting belt 15. When the connecting belt 15 moves, the connecting frame 18 can continue to move the peppercorns. At the same time, the air pump 9 is started. The air pump 9 pressurizes the external air and delivers it into the connecting pipe 11. The pressurized air is delivered into the exhaust pipe 22 through the connecting pipe 11. A large number of bubbles are sprayed out through the nozzle 23 on the exhaust pipe 22. The bubbles hit the peppercorns and can wash away the mud, sand and insect eggs on the peppercorns. Then, the connecting frame 18 on the connecting belt 15 continues to push the cleaned peppercorns. When the peppercorns pass through the discharge port 7, they will fall from the discharge port 7, completing the cleaning. This achieves continuous automatic cleaning with high cleaning efficiency and can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0028] By opening the drain port 4 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 2, the mud and sand in the cleaning tank 2 can be discharged, making cleaning and maintenance easier.
