Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of sterilization and cleaning technology, and more specifically to an integrated sterilization and cleaning machine for fruit processing. Background Technology
[0002] The integrated sterilization and cleaning machine for fruit processing is a specialized piece of equipment for pre-processing fruit. It can simultaneously complete the cleaning and sterilization processes of fruit. Through a conveyor system, it effectively cleans the surface of the fruit and removes pesticide residues during transport.
[0003] With the development of agricultural technology, fruit production has increased significantly, but this has relied to some extent on the extensive use of pesticides. At the same time, people's living standards have improved, and their hygiene awareness has increased, leading to higher requirements for the hygienic quality of fruits. During the growth process, pesticide residues remain on the surface of fruits, and dust and bacteria easily accumulate in the pores. Before processing, fruits need to be thoroughly cleaned. However, traditional manual cleaning methods, when dealing with large quantities of fruit, not only consume a lot of manpower but also have poor cleaning effects, failing to effectively remove toxic and harmful substances and failing to meet modern food hygiene and safety requirements. Furthermore, current traditional cleaning equipment cannot effectively dry the residual moisture on the fruit surface in a timely manner, which can cause the fruit to be re-contaminated during transportation, affecting the processing quality.
[0004] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN202021927555.8 discloses a conveying device with sterilization and cleaning functions for mulberry wine preparation; it includes a transmission roller, a motor, a conveyor belt, a support, a collection box, and a sterilization and cleaning mechanism. This utility model sets the sterilization and cleaning mechanism on the top of the support, and uses a water pump and connecting pipe to draw cleaning water from the inside of the water tank and introduce it into the T-pipe and the inside of the hollow plate. Finally, it sprays the water downwards through the nozzles. At the same time, the T-shaped turntable drives the fixed rod to rotate, which conveys and flips the mulberries. This allows the two nozzles to clean different sides of the mulberries. After cleaning, the mulberries conveyed to the left by the conveyor belt can be sterilized and disinfected by an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. The mulberries continue to be conveyed to the left after cleaning and sterilization.
[0005] Although the device in the aforementioned patent can achieve sterilization after cleaning during the washing and transporting of mulberries, a large amount of moisture remains on the surface of the mulberries after cleaning. This can lead to incomplete sterilization when the surface is sterilized by ultraviolet germicidal lamps, thus affecting the quality of the mulberries during subsequent processing. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated sterilization and cleaning machine for fruit processing. In this device, cleaning water is added to the tank through a water supply pipe. Simultaneously, sterilizing agents are mixed with the water through a dosing pipe and a dosing tank. The water containing the sterilizing agent is then transported to the spray rack via a connecting pipe and a pump body, achieving a spray sterilization effect on the fruit on the conveyor chain. Baffles installed on the conveyor chain effectively prevent fruit accumulation during transport, thus ensuring the quality of the spray sterilization. As the conveyor chain moves, the sterilized fruit is transported to the bottom of the drying rack, where a negative pressure fan effectively dries any remaining moisture on the fruit surface, preventing re-contamination during transport. This addresses the problems mentioned in the background technology.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] An integrated sterilization and cleaning machine for fruit processing includes a frame; one end of the frame is inclined; a box is fixedly installed inside the frame; the bottom of the box is conical; a conveyor chain is movably installed inside the box via a mounting frame; multiple partitions are installed on the conveyor chain at equal intervals; the partitions effectively divide the fruit during transport, preventing a large amount of fruit from piling up on the conveyor chain and affecting the quality of spray sterilization.
[0009] A spray rack and a blower rack are fixedly installed on the crossbeam at the top of the frame; wherein, the end of the spray rack is inclined away from the frame; the spray rack effectively sprays the sterilizing and cleaning water onto the fruit through the extraction of the main body, thereby ensuring the inclination of the spray on the fruit surface and the sterilization effect.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a dosing tank is fixedly installed on the side wall of the box; the dosing tank is connected to the inside of the box; a screen is installed inside the dosing tank in cooperation with a C-shaped frame; a dosing pipe is fixedly installed on the side of the dosing tank away from the box, and the dosing pipe effectively dispenses bactericidal agents into the dosing tank to achieve a mixing and circulation effect between the agent and the cleaning water. The screen can also effectively filter impurities inside the box, thereby avoiding impurities from clogging the pump.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the bottom side of the dosing tank is fixedly installed to the pump body inlet via a connecting pipe; the pump body outlet is fixedly installed to the extension pipe of the spray frame, and the agent and cleaning water inside the dosing tank are sprayed and circulated by the pump body.
[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a speed reducer is also fixedly installed on the side wall of one end of the housing; the output shaft of the speed reducer is fixedly installed with the rotating shaft at one end of the transmission chain; the speed reducer is electrically connected to the control box through a wire.
[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a negative pressure fan is also fixedly installed inside one end of the frame that is inclined; the negative pressure fan is fixedly installed to the blower frame through a negative pressure pipe; the blower frame is located at the end away from the feeding end of the box; a water supply pipe is fixedly installed on the side wall of the box away from the dosing tank.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. In use, the fruit is placed on the conveyor chain, and the partitions on the conveyor chain effectively prevent the fruit from piling up, thus ensuring that the fruit is spread out evenly. When tilted, this ensures that all the fruit can be effectively sprayed and sterilized.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the dosing tank and the inside of the tank are connected during spray sterilization, which effectively achieves the effect of cleaning water circulation. The sterilizing agent can also be added into the dosing tank through the dosing pipe, thus effectively ensuring that the surface of the fruit is sterilized at the same time during spray cleaning, effectively improving work efficiency. The screen installed in the dosing tank by the C-shaped frame effectively filters the impurities inside the tank, avoiding the impurities from clogging the pump.
[0017] 3. In this utility model, as the reducer drives the transmission chain forward, after the fruit separates from the spray rack, it moves to the bottom of the blower rack. Through the cooperation between the negative pressure fan and the blower rack, the residual moisture on the surface of the fruit is effectively dried, thereby effectively preventing the fruit from being contaminated again during transportation and thus effectively ensuring the quality of the fruit during later processing.
