[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a bamboo shoot processing and cleaning device that facilitates material handling is provided.

[0029] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, a bamboo shoot processing and cleaning device for easy material handling according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cleaning tank 1 and a support leg 12. A discharge box 15 is fixedly installed at the middle of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. Filter plates 2 are symmetrically installed at the top of both sides of the discharge box 15. A receiving cavity 14 is formed in the middle of the interior of one set of filter plates 2. A sealing plate 16 is slidably connected inside the receiving cavity 14. One end of the sealing plate 16 passes through one side of the discharge box 15 and is inserted into the other side. The other end of the sealing plate 16 is connected to a push rod 13. One end of the push rod 13 passes through one side of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the extension end of a second cylinder 11. Above the filter plates 2... A sliding rod 4 is installed inside the cleaning tank 1. A push plate 3 is symmetrically slidably connected to the outer periphery of the sliding rod 4. Several sets of filter holes 6 are opened on the bottom surface of the push plate 3 and the surface of the filter plate 2. The bottom of the push plate 3 contacts the top of the filter plate 2. The cleaning tank 1 is made of 304 stainless steel welded (e.g., 2000mm long × 800mm wide × 600mm deep), with a tank wall thickness of 6mm. Support legs 12 (e.g., 4 sets, φ50mm stainless steel pipe, 800mm high) are symmetrically welded on both sides of the bottom. Anti-slip pads (rubber material, 10mm thick) are welded to the bottom of the support legs 12 to ensure that the device is placed stably; the discharge box 15 is fixed. The discharge box 15 (e.g., 304 stainless steel, 500mm long × 300mm wide × 200mm high) is bolted to the center of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The box has a hollow, through-hole structure (open at the top and bottom), with the top flush with the filter plate 2 and the bottom extending to the outside of the cleaning tank 1 (a collection basket can be placed underneath). The filter plate 2 is installed symmetrically on both sides of the discharge box 15 (e.g., 304 stainless steel mesh, 5mm aperture, 2mm thickness). The filter plate 2 is welded to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 to form a horizontal bearing surface. The welding of the filter plate 2 to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 ensures even stress distribution and prevents bamboo shoots from accumulating and causing overload. Deformation of filter plate 2; Space adaptation: The discharge box 15 is located in the center of the washing tank 1, and the filter plates 2 on both sides have equal areas (e.g., 600×800mm each), which meets the needs of small and medium-sized processing; Foundation bearing: The washing tank 1 provides a closed washing space, the filter plate 2 supports the bamboo shoots and filters the sewage, and the support leg 12 ensures the stability of the device; Space optimization: The design of the central discharge box 15 makes the bamboo shoot collection path the shortest, which improves the efficiency compared to the side discharge. All component dimensions and selections in this application can be adaptively adjusted by personnel according to their own needs and financial situation. They are not described in detail, but are only used to facilitate personnel's understanding of the structure and function.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, rinsing grooves 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner surface of the cleaning tank 1. Several sets of rinsing nozzles 8 are installed at an angle inside the rinsing grooves 7. The rinsing nozzles 8 are connected to the water inlet pipe 10 through pipes, and the water inlet pipe 10 is connected to the external water supply equipment. The layout of the rinsing nozzles 8 is as follows: rinsing grooves 7 (e.g., 1500mm long × 50mm wide × 30mm deep) are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. Multiple sets of rinsing nozzles 8 (e.g., made of copper, with an aperture of 2mm and a spray angle of 60°) are evenly installed in the grooves. The nozzles are inclined. Oriented at 45° towards the center of the pool, ensuring water flow covers all bamboo shoots. The nozzle is connected to the inlet pipe 10 (such as a φ50mm PVC pipe) via a branch pipe. The inlet pipe 10 is connected to an external high-pressure water pump (pressure 0.3MPa). Water flow dynamics: The 45° tilted nozzle creates cross-flow, generating turbulence in the pool, enhancing the scouring force on the surface of the bamboo shoots. Combined with the ultrasonic cavitation effect, it removes stubborn dirt (improved cleaning rate). High-efficiency cleaning: High-pressure rinsing + ultrasonic synergy improves the removal rate of dirt and sand from the surface of bamboo shoots compared to traditional rinsing.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, drain pipes 17 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. The drain pipes 17 are connected to the external water filtration equipment. Water circulation: the rinsing water falls into the bottom of the tank through the filter holes 6 and is discharged through the drain pipes 17 on both sides (such as φ40mm PVC pipes). It can be connected to the filtration equipment (such as sedimentation tank + filter screen) for purification and reuse (improving water saving rate).

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, support legs 12 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, and the support legs 12 ensure structural stability.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the discharge box 15 has a hollow through-structure. The sealing plate 16 mechanism is as follows: a receiving cavity 14 (e.g., 500mm long × 10mm wide × 10mm deep) is opened inside the filter plate 2 on one side. The sealing plate 16 (e.g., 304 stainless steel, 600mm long × 8mm wide × 8mm thick) slides in fit with the receiving cavity 14 (with a clearance of 0.1mm). One end of the plate penetrates through the side wall of the discharge box 15, and the other end is welded with a push rod 13 (e.g., φ10mm stainless steel rod). The push rod 13 penetrates through the side wall of the cleaning tank 1 and is connected to the telescopic end of the second cylinder 11 (e.g., model SC50×500, thrust 300N). Push plate 3 and sliding rod 4: two sliding rods 4 (e.g., φ15mm stainless steel) are welded to the upper part inside the cleaning tank 1. The sliding rods 4 are parallel to the filter plate 2. The top of the push plate 3 (e.g., 304 stainless steel, 750mm long × 300mm high × 3mm thick) is welded with a sliding sleeve (with clearance fit with the sliding rod 4), and the bottom is connected to the filter plate 2. Surface contact: The push plate 3 has a welded ear seat on one side, which is hinged to the telescopic end of the first cylinder 5 (e.g., model SC100×1000, thrust 500N); Sealing accuracy: The sealing plate 16 prevents water from leaking out of the discharge box 15 during cleaning. If a small amount of overflow occurs, it is not a problem and will not affect the overall cleaning operation. It is only necessary to collect the overflowing water; Pushing synchronization: The push plates 3 on both sides are driven by independent first cylinders 5 and synchronously controlled by solenoid valves to ensure that the bamboo shoots are pushed evenly to the center. Asynchronous setting will not affect the operation of the structure. The purpose of the push plate 3 is to move to a position closer to the center and push the bamboo shoots towards the center, which is convenient for subsequent discharge; Automatic collection: The push plate 3 can move along the slide bar 4 to cover the entire area of ​​the filter plate 2 and push the scattered bamboo shoots to the top of the discharge box 15, replacing manual retrieval; Controllable discharge: The second cylinder 11 drives the sealing plate 16 to switch, realizing the switching between cleaning and discharge, and improving the degree of automation of operation.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an ultrasonic generator 9 is installed above the discharge box 15 on the inner surface of the cleaning tank 1. Ultrasonic assistance: Two sets of ultrasonic generators 9 (e.g., power 500W, frequency 40kHz) are symmetrically installed on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The vibrator is close to the tank wall, and the generated ultrasonic waves can penetrate the gaps on the surface of the bamboo shoots.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the highest point of the filter holes 6 distributed on the surface of the push plate 3 is higher than the height of the cleaning liquid. The filter holes 6 on the surface of the push plate 3 are set to facilitate the natural discharge of the liquid between the push plates 3 to both sides when pushing the bamboo shoot, so as to avoid the liquid level rising as it gets closer and to ensure the stability of the liquid level. The height of the filter holes 6 on the push plate 3 is set to ensure that the liquid can flow smoothly to both sides.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a first cylinder 5 is connected to the top of one side surface of the push plate 3; Feeding and cleaning: Fresh bamboo shoots are poured into the cleaning tank 1 and evenly distributed on the filter plates 2 on both sides. The high-pressure water pump and ultrasonic generator 9 are started, and the rinsing nozzle 8 sprays water (e.g., flow rate 10L / min). The ultrasonic waves work synchronously to clean the bamboo shoots 360° (e.g., continuously for 2 minutes). During the cleaning process, dirty water is discharged through the filter holes 6 and the bottom of the tank from the drain pipe 17 (or enters the filtration system); Collection and discharge: After cleaning, the water pump and ultrasonic waves are turned off, and the drain pipe 17 valve is opened to drain the remaining water in the tank (e.g., for 10 seconds). The first cylinder 5 is started synchronously or in advance, and the push plates 3 on both sides move synchronously towards the center along the slide rod 4, pushing the bamboo shoots to the top of the discharge box 15. After the push plates 3 are in place, they stop. The second cylinder 11 is started, pulling the sealing plate 16 to slide along the receiving cavity 14 to open the discharge box 15. 5. The top opening allows bamboo shoots to fall into the collection basket below through the discharge box 15 under gravity. The second cylinder 11 is then closed (resettling the sealing plate 16), and the first cylinder 5 drives the push plate 3 back to its original position, completing one cleaning cycle. System reset: Clean residual impurities on the surface of the filter plate 2 (optional automatic spray cleaning), prepare for the next batch of bamboo shoots, and repeat the above process. Efficiency improvement: The cleaning and unloading time for a single batch of bamboo shoots is shortened compared to traditional manual methods, increasing daily output. Labor intensity reduction: Fully automated cleaning and unloading are achieved; operators only need to load and monitor, reducing labor intensity. Cleaning quality: High-pressure rinsing and ultrasonic waves improve the cleanliness of bamboo shoots and reduce residual impurities. Through the synergy of mechanical collection, automatic discharge, and efficient cleaning, this device solves the problems of "laborious cleaning, cumbersome unloading, and low efficiency" in bamboo shoot processing, making it particularly suitable for large-scale use in small and medium-sized agricultural product processing plants.

[0037] Working Principle: In actual use, personnel can connect the inlet pipe 10 to an external water supply device, and similarly, the drain pipe 17 can be connected to an external water treatment device, thus facilitating the filtration and recycling of cleaning water and reducing water waste. Then, personnel can add the bamboo shoots or bamboo shoot strips to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1. At this time, the cleaning water can be sprayed out through the inclined rinsing nozzles 8 on both sides, thus acting on the bamboo shoots to clean them. Furthermore, the water inside the cleaning tank 1 is continuously circulating, thus avoiding the residue of dirt and ensuring the overall cleaning quality. After cleaning is completed, the operation of the first cylinders 5 on both sides can drive the push plates 3 on both sides to move towards the center, at which point the bamboo shoots placed between them can be removed. The pusher plate 3 is pushed to move towards the center. When the pusher plate 3 moves to the position of the discharge box 15, the liquid inside can be fully discharged through the drain pipe 17. As the liquid level continues to drop, the bamboo shoots will fall accordingly. At this time, the operation of the second cylinder 11 can drive the pusher rod 13 to retract, thereby causing the sealing plate 16 to move out from the top of the discharge box 15. The cleaned bamboo shoots can then fall naturally into the discharge box 15 and into the collection component below, which facilitates collection by personnel and subsequent processing operations, reduces the tediousness of manual collection, improves the quality of use, reduces labor intensity, and facilitates better promotion and use. The device as a whole has the advantages of convenient collection, labor-saving operation, and material collection.
