Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment, and more particularly to a soybean cleaning drum. Background Technology

[0002] Soybeans are legumes and are annual herbs. Soybean washing drums are one of the main pieces of equipment used in the process of making tofu and other tofu products to clean soybeans. Soybean washing drums are used to remove dust, soybean stalks, sand and other light impurities from soybeans.

[0003] Existing soybean washing drums install a mesh drum inside a drum cover. By driving the mesh drum to rotate, impurities are filtered out and discharged from the mesh drum as the soybeans enter it, thus cleaning the soybeans. However, after long-term use, some of the discharged impurities remain and adhere to the surface of the drum, requiring personnel to disassemble and clean it periodically, which reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a soybean washing drum.

[0005] The soybean washing drum provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A soybean washing drum includes a drum cover and a drum body installed inside the drum cover. The drum cover is provided with a drive assembly for driving the drum body to rotate and a cleaning assembly for cleaning the drum body. The cleaning assembly includes a through groove formed at the top of the side wall of the drum cover. A U-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the drum cover above the through groove. A movable plate is slidably disposed in the through groove. A cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate. A positioning assembly is provided on the U-shaped frame for controlling the up and down movement of the movable plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the positioning component moves the moving plate downward in the through groove, so that the cleaning brush comes into contact with the roller body. Then, by activating the drive component, the roller body is driven to rotate. During the rotation of the roller body, the cleaning brush continuously wipes the surface of the roller body, removing the impurities adsorbed on the surface of the roller body. This avoids the problem that some impurities will remain adsorbed on the surface of the roller after long-term use, requiring personnel to disassemble and clean it regularly, which would reduce work efficiency.

[0008] Preferably, the positioning component includes a plurality of tension springs fixedly connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped frame, the other end of the tension springs being fixedly connected to the movable plate, a push rod being rotatably connected to the upper surface of the movable plate, the end of the push rod away from the movable plate passing through the U-shaped frame and having two annular array of clamping plates fixedly connected to its side wall, and L-shaped clamping blocks for clamping the clamping plates being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped frame on both sides of the push rod.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, pressing the push rod pushes the moving plate downward, so that the cleaning brush comes into contact with the roller body and the tension spring is stretched. Then, rotating the push rod makes the two clamping plates respectively located below the L-shaped clamping block, so that the cleaning brush continues to come into contact with the roller body to clean the roller body. After cleaning is completed, rotating the push rod allows the tension spring to rebound and move the cleaning brush away from the roller body.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a motor fixedly connected to one side of the roller cover, a first transmission wheel fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a rotating rod provided inside the roller body, a plurality of connecting rods fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod, the other end of the connecting rod being fixedly connected to the roller body, a second transmission wheel fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod, and a transmission belt installed on the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor drives the first transmission wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the second transmission wheel to rotate, causing the rotating rod to rotate the drum body. This causes the soybeans to tumble inside the drum body, allowing impurities in the soybeans to be discharged through the screen of the drum body, thus cleaning the soybeans.

[0012] Preferably, the roller cover includes a lower cover and an upper cover, wherein the upper cover is hinged to the lower cover.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the roller cover can be opened by lifting the top cover, making it convenient to maintain the roller body inside the roller cover.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom end of the side wall of the roller cover is provided with a discharge trough for discharging impurities, and a guide shroud is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the side wall of the roller cover at the discharge trough.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, impurities that fall into the drum cover can be discharged through the discharge chute, and at the same time, the impurities discharged from the discharge chute can fall into the guide cover through the guide cover, and then be discharged from one end in a concentrated manner, which is convenient for collection.

[0016] Preferably, the movable plate has a cavity inside, and fixed pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the movable plate. The end of the fixed pipe away from the movable plate passes through the U-shaped frame and forms a sliding arrangement. The lower surface of the movable plate has a plurality of water injection holes that communicate with the cavity.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by connecting the external water supply pipe to the fixed pipe, water is added to the cavity when cleaning the drum body, and the water is continuously discharged through the water injection hole to wet the cleaning brush, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the drum body. At the same time, the fixed pipe can improve the stability of the moving plate lifting.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the roller body is fixedly connected with a spiral blade for conveying soybeans.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the drum body rotates, the soybeans inside the drum body can be moved by the spiral blades, so that the soybeans are discharged from the other end.

[0020] Preferably, protective covers are fitted onto the first transmission wheel and the second transmission wheel, and the protective covers are fixedly connected to the roller cover.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective cover can protect and shield the first transmission wheel, the second transmission wheel, and the transmission belt, preventing accidental contact by personnel.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. This application utilizes the cooperative arrangement of structures such as a through groove, a movable plate, and a cleaning brush. During use, the movable plate is moved downward within the through groove by a positioning component, causing the cleaning brush to contact the roller body. Then, by activating the drive component, the roller body is rotated. During the rotation of the roller body, the cleaning brush continuously wipes the surface of the roller body, removing impurities adsorbed on the surface of the roller body. This minimizes the problem that, after prolonged use, some impurities will remain adsorbed on the roller surface, requiring personnel to periodically disassemble and clean it, thus reducing work efficiency.

[0024] 2. By connecting the external water supply pipe to the fixed pipe, water is added to the cavity when cleaning the drum body, and the water is continuously discharged through the water injection hole to wet the cleaning brush, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the drum body. At the same time, the fixed pipe can improve the stability of the moving plate lifting. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0031] This application discloses a soybean washing drum.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A soybean washing drum includes a drum cover 1 and a drum body 2 installed inside the drum cover 1. The drum body 2 is a mesh drum, which allows impurities and dust on the soybeans to be discharged through the mesh. The drum cover 1 is provided with a drive assembly for driving the drum body 2 to rotate and a cleaning assembly for cleaning the drum body 2. The cleaning assembly includes a through groove 3, a U-shaped frame 4, a moving plate 5 and a cleaning brush 6.

[0033] The through groove 3 is opened at the top of the side wall of the roller cover 1. The U-shaped frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the side wall of the roller cover 1 and located above the through groove 3. The movable plate 5 is slidably disposed in the through groove 3. The cleaning brush 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 5. The U-shaped frame 4 is provided with a positioning component for controlling the up and down movement of the movable plate 5.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning component includes multiple tension springs 7 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped frame 4. The other end of the tension springs 7 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 5. A push rod 8 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 5. The end of the push rod 8 away from the movable plate 5 passes through the U-shaped frame 4 and is fixedly connected to two annular array of clamping plates 9 on the side wall. L-shaped clamping blocks 10 for clamping the clamping plates 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped frame 4 on both sides of the push rod 8. By pressing the push rod 8, the movable plate 5 is pushed down, so that the cleaning brush 6 abuts against the roller body 2, and the tension springs 7 are stretched. Then, the push rod 8 is rotated so that the two clamping plates 9 are respectively located below the L-shaped clamping blocks 10, so that the cleaning brush 6 continuously abuts against the roller body 2 to clean the roller body 2. After cleaning, the push rod 8 is rotated, and the springs 7 rebound, so that the cleaning brush 6 can move away from the roller body 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The drive assembly includes a motor 11 fixedly connected to one side of the drum cover 1. A first transmission wheel 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11. A rotating rod 13 is provided inside the drum body 2. Multiple connecting rods 14 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 13. The other end of the connecting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the drum body 2. A second transmission wheel 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 13. A transmission belt 16 is installed on the first transmission wheel 12 and the second transmission wheel 15. By starting the motor 11, the first transmission wheel 12 is driven to rotate, which causes the transmission belt 16 to drive the second transmission wheel 15 to rotate, which causes the rotating rod 13 to drive the drum body 2 to rotate, tumbling the soybeans in the drum body 2 and allowing impurities in the soybeans to be discharged through the screen of the drum body 2, thus cleaning the soybeans.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The roller cover 1 includes a lower cover 17 and an upper cover 18. The upper cover 18 is hinged to the lower cover 17. By lifting the upper cover 18, the roller cover 1 can be opened, which facilitates the maintenance of the roller body 2 inside the roller cover 1.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of the side wall of the roller cover 1 is provided with a discharge trough 19 for discharging impurities. A guide hood 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side wall of the roller cover 1 at the discharge trough 19. Impurities that fall into the roller cover 1 can be discharged through the discharge trough 19. At the same time, the impurities discharged from the discharge trough 19 can fall into the guide hood 20 through the guide hood 20 and then be discharged from one end for easy collection.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The movable plate 5 has a cavity 21. Fixed pipes 22 are fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the movable plate 5. The end of the fixed pipe 22 away from the movable plate 5 passes through the U-shaped frame 4 and forms a sliding arrangement. Multiple water injection holes 23 connected to the cavity 21 are opened on the lower surface of the movable plate 5. By connecting the external water supply pipe to the fixed pipe 22, water is added to the cavity 21 when cleaning the roller body 2. The water is continuously discharged through the water injection holes 23 to wet the cleaning brush 6, which can improve the cleaning efficiency of the roller body 2. At the same time, the fixed pipe 22 can improve the stability of the movable plate 5 in raising and lowering.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 The inner wall of the drum body 2 is fixedly connected with a spiral blade 24 for conveying soybeans. When the drum body 2 rotates, the soybeans inside the drum body 2 can be moved by the spiral blade 24 and discharged from the other end.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A protective cover 25 is fitted on the first drive wheel 12 and the second drive wheel 15. The protective cover 25 is fixedly connected to the roller cover 1. The protective cover 25 can protect and shield the first drive wheel 12, the second drive wheel 15 and the drive belt 16 to prevent accidental contact by personnel.

[0041] The implementation principle of a soybean washing drum according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, soybeans are first placed into one end of the drum body 2. The starting motor 11 drives the first transmission wheel 12 to rotate, causing the transmission belt 16 to drive the second transmission wheel 15 to rotate, which in turn causes the rotating rod 13 to rotate the drum body 2, tumbling the soybeans within the drum body 2. The soybeans are then moved by the spiral blades 24 and discharged from the other end, allowing impurities in the soybeans to be discharged through the strainer of the drum body 2, thus cleaning the soybeans. After cleaning, pressing the push rod 8 pushes the moving plate 5 downwards, causing the cleaning brush 6 to contact the drum body 2 while simultaneously stretching the tension spring 7. Then, rotating the push rod 8 causes the two clamping plates 9 to be positioned below the L-shaped clamping block 10. The cleaning brush 6 is continuously pressed against the roller body 2, and the roller body 2 is cleaned by rotating. At the same time, by connecting the external water supply pipe to the fixed pipe 22, water is added to the cavity 21 during the cleaning of the roller body 2, and the water is continuously discharged through the water injection hole 23 to wet the cleaning brush 6, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the roller body 2 and removing the impurities adsorbed on the surface of the roller body 2. After cleaning, the push rod 8 is rotated, and the tension spring 7 rebounds to move the cleaning brush 6 away from the roller body 2. This avoids the problem that some of the discharged impurities will remain adsorbed on the roller surface after long-term use, requiring personnel to disassemble and clean it regularly, which would reduce work efficiency.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
