[0022] like Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure, the raw material cleaning device for tomato sauce production provided in this embodiment includes a cleaning tank 1, an inclined conveyor belt 2 installed inside the cleaning tank 1, the inclined conveyor belt 2 can drive the tomatoes to move for cleaning, both the cleaning tank 1 and the inclined conveyor belt 2 include a horizontal end and an inclined end, wherein multiple sets of frames 3 are equidistantly installed at the top of the horizontal end of the cleaning tank 1, the frames 3 are in an inverted U-shaped structure, a bubble generating component 4 is provided at the bottom inside the cleaning tank 1, a drainage component 5 is installed at the bottom of one side of the cleaning tank 1, a cleaning component 6 is installed on the frame 3, and a disturbance component 7 is installed on one side of the frame 3.

[0023] The disturbance component 7 includes a bracket 701 fixedly connected to the frame 3. The bracket 701 supports the adjusting screw 702 and the guide rod 703. The adjusting screw 702 is threadedly connected to the center of the bracket 701. The operator rotates the adjusting screw 702 to drive the mounting base 704 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the cleaning brush 705. Guide rods 703 are provided on both sides of the adjusting screw 702. During the raising and lowering of the mounting base 704, the guide rods 703 can move along the bracket 701 to ensure the stability of the mounting base 704 during movement. The guide rods 703 are slidably connected to the bracket 701. The bottom ends of the adjusting screw 702 and the bracket 701 are both connected to the mounting base 704. The mounting base 704 can fix the cleaning brush 705. The adjusting screw 702 is connected to the mounting base 704 by a bearing. The bottom end of the mounting base 704 is fixed with the cleaning brush 705. The cleaning brush 705 can clean the surface of the tomato and cause the tomato to move. The cleaning brush 705 is made of hard bristles.

[0024] The bubble generating component 4 includes a base 402 symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the washing tank 1. The base 402 can support the gas supply pipe 403. One set of bases 402 has a hollow structure, and an external pipe 401 is connected to one side of the hollow base 402. The external pipe 401 can be connected to an external air pump to facilitate the entry of gas into one set of bases 402. The external pipe 401 penetrates the side wall of the washing tank 1. Multiple sets of gas supply pipes 403 are installed at equal intervals between the two sets of bases 402. The gas supply pipes 403 can divert and guide high-pressure gas. Multiple sets of gas supply pipes 403 are connected to the hollow base 402. Multiple sets of nozzles 404 are installed at equal intervals at the top of the gas supply pipes 403. High-pressure gas is sprayed into the clean water through the nozzles 404, causing a large number of tiny bubbles to form in the water. As these bubbles rise, they drive the water to flow, which agitates the tomato raw materials, assists in the spray water cleaning, improves the cleaning effect, and reduces the damage to tomatoes caused by mechanical agitation.

[0025] The drainage assembly 5 includes a drain pipe 501 connected to the cleaning tank 1, which allows the cleaning water to be discharged through the drain pipe 501 for recycling. The drain pipe 501 is equipped with a screen for filtering impurities. A control valve 502 is installed on the side of the drain pipe 501 away from the cleaning tank 1. The control valve 502 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 501.

[0026] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a main pipe 601 located outside the frame 3. The main pipe 601 can be connected to an external water supply pipe. Clean water is diverted through the main pipe 601 into the diversion pipe 602. Multiple diversion pipes 602 are installed at equal intervals on the main pipe 601. The diversion pipes 602 can transport the diverted clean water. The diversion pipes 602 are fixed on the frame 3 and span the cleaning tank 1. Multiple cleaning nozzles 603 are installed at equal intervals at the bottom of the diversion pipes 602. The cleaning nozzles 603 are fan-shaped or cone-shaped nozzles 404, which can spray water at a certain angle and range to rinse the surface of the tomatoes from all directions.

[0027] The inclined conveyor belt 2 adopts a mesh belt structure, and multiple sets of baffles 8 are installed at equal intervals on the inclined conveyor belt 2, which enables the inclined conveyor belt 2 to move the tomatoes through the baffles 8.

[0028] This utility model discloses a raw material cleaning device for tomato sauce production. Its working principle is as follows: In practical use, the worker places the tomatoes to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1. At this time, the external pipe 401 is connected to an external air pump, and gas enters into one of the bases 402. The high-pressure gas is then diverted and guided through the air supply pipe 403. The high-pressure gas is sprayed into the clean water through the nozzle 404, causing a large number of tiny bubbles to form in the water. As these bubbles rise, they drive the water flow, agitating the tomato raw material and assisting in the spray cleaning, improving the cleaning effect. This also reduces tomato damage caused by mechanical agitation. Furthermore, because the tomatoes move downwards in the clean water, the inclined conveyor belt 2 can move the tomatoes via the baffle 8. During this movement, the main pipe 601 is connected to an external water supply pipe, and clean water is diverted through the main pipe 601 to the diversion pipe 60. Inside section 2, the diversion pipe 602 can transport the diverted clean water, which is then sprayed out through the cleaning nozzle 603. The cleaning nozzle 603 adopts a fan-shaped or cone-shaped nozzle 404, which can spray water at a certain angle and range to thoroughly rinse the surface of the tomato. At the same time, the operator can rotate the adjusting screw 702 according to the usage requirements. The adjusting screw 702 rotates along the bracket 701, driving the mounting base 704 to rise and fall vertically. The guide rod 703 moves along the bracket 701 to ensure the stability of the lifting and lowering of the mounting base 704. The height of the cleaning brush 705 is adjusted by the lifting and lowering of the mounting base 704. After being adjusted to a suitable height, the tomato will come into contact with the hard-bristled cleaning brush 705 during the moving and cleaning process. At this time, the cleaning brush 705 cleans the surface of the tomato. At the same time, the tomato will move due to friction, thereby increasing its cleaning area and improving the cleaning effect.

[0029] The above are merely further embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed by this utility model, based on the technical solution and concept of this utility model, shall fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
