Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, specifically to a wasabi cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In some wasabi processing techniques, wasabi is cleaned using specialized cleaning equipment to facilitate subsequent processing. Existing cleaning equipment includes a frame and a water tank mounted above the frame. The tank has an inlet pipe at the top and an outlet at the bottom. A mesh cleaning chamber is located in the center of the tank, with a vibrator connected to its bottom. A sterilization device is also connected to the bottom of the tank. During wasabi cleaning, high-pressure water mist spraying and repeated vibration of the cleaning chamber by the vibrator further enhance the cleaning effect. The wasabi is then re-soaked in chlorine dioxide solution pumped into the sterilization device for disinfection, achieving an isothiocyanate retention rate of over 97%, significantly higher than wasabi cleaned using existing equipment, thus ensuring the quality of subsequent wasabi products.

[0003] Existing cleaning equipment has the following problems: after rinsing with high-pressure water mist nozzles, wasabi is soaked and repeatedly shaken by a vibrator, which requires a long period of shaking to ensure the cleaning effect, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a wasabi cleaning device to solve the problem of low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of low cleaning efficiency in existing cleaning equipment, which uses high-pressure water mist sprayers for rinsing, soaks wasabi, and repeatedly vibrates it with a vibrator. This requires a relatively long period of vibration to ensure the cleaning effect.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A wasabi washing device, comprising:

[0008] A turning mechanism is used to turn the wasabi.

[0009] A limiting mechanism is installed on the flipping mechanism;

[0010] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning brush spaced apart from the turning mechanism and a drive unit for driving the cleaning brush.

[0011] Existing cleaning equipment uses high-pressure water mist nozzles to rinse the wasabi, followed by soaking and repeated vibration with a vibrator. This requires a relatively long vibration period to ensure cleaning effectiveness, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. In this solution, the wasabi is placed on the turning mechanism and rinsed with clean water. The wasabi is then fixed by the limiting mechanism, and the driving unit drives the cleaning brush to rotate and clean the wasabi. During the cleaning process, the limiting mechanism repeatedly fixes and releases the wasabi, and the turning mechanism drives the wasabi to rotate, thereby cleaning the entire wasabi. This improves cleaning efficiency and solves the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to further improve cleaning efficiency, one feasible solution is that the turning mechanism includes several rollers arranged at intervals and a turning motor for driving the rollers. When this solution is adopted, the turning motor drives all the driving rollers to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the wasabi between two adjacent rollers to rotate, which can clean multiple wasabi and further improve cleaning efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, to facilitate the rotation of wasabi, one feasible solution is to form protrusions on the roller. When this solution is adopted, the wasabi can be moved and rotated under the action of the protrusions.

[0014] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the limiting mechanism. One feasible solution is as follows: the limiting mechanism includes a vertical plate driven by a telescopic rod, and a plurality of limiting plates are installed on the vertical plate, with springs installed between the limiting plates and the vertical plate. When this solution is adopted, the telescopic rod drives the vertical plate closer to the wasabi, and the plurality of limiting plates press against the corresponding wasabi, compressing the springs, thereby clamping the wasabi. During the clamping of the wasabi, the flipping mechanism stops working.

[0015] Furthermore, to avoid crushing the wasabi, one feasible solution is to provide flexible pads on both the limiting plate and the flipping mechanism. With this solution, the wasabi can be prevented from being rigidly squeezed under the protection of the flexible pads.

[0016] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the drive unit. One feasible solution is that the drive unit includes a cleaning motor connected to the cleaning brush, the cleaning motor is connected to a movable plate and the movable plate is connected to an electric guide rail. When this solution is adopted, the cleaning motor drives the cleaning brush to rotate, and at the same time, the electric guide rail drives the cleaning brush to move horizontally to clean the wasabi.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. Place the wasabi on the turning mechanism and rinse it with clean water. The wasabi is fixed by the limiting mechanism. Then, the driving part drives the cleaning brush to rotate to clean the wasabi. During the cleaning process, the limiting mechanism fixes and releases the wasabi multiple times and the turning mechanism drives the wasabi to rotate, thereby cleaning the entire wasabi. This improves the cleaning efficiency and solves the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0019] 2. Since the limiting mechanism includes a vertical plate driven by a telescopic rod, a plurality of limiting plates are installed on the vertical plate and a spring is installed between the limiting plates and the vertical plate, the telescopic rod drives the vertical plate to approach the wasabi, and the plurality of the limiting plates press against the corresponding wasabi, and compress the spring, thereby clamping the wasabi. During the clamping of the wasabi, the flipping mechanism stops working.

[0020] 3. Since the drive unit includes a cleaning motor connected to the cleaning brush, the cleaning motor is connected to a movable plate and the movable plate is connected to an electric guide rail. The cleaning motor drives the cleaning brush to rotate, and the electric guide rail drives the cleaning brush to move horizontally to clean the wasabi. Attached Figure Description

[0032] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0033] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A wasabi washing device, comprising:

[0036] Flipping mechanism 1 is used to flip the wasabi.

[0037] Limiting mechanism 2 is installed on tilting mechanism 1;

[0038] The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning brush 31 spaced apart from the turning mechanism 1 and a drive unit 32 for driving the cleaning brush 31.

[0039] Existing cleaning equipment uses high-pressure water mist nozzles to rinse the wasabi, followed by soaking and repeated vibration with a vibrator. This requires a relatively long vibration period to ensure cleaning effectiveness, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. In this solution, the wasabi is placed on a turning mechanism 1 and rinsed with clean water. The wasabi is then fixed by a limiting mechanism 2, and the cleaning brush 31 is rotated by a drive unit 32 to clean the wasabi. During the cleaning process, the limiting mechanism 2 repeatedly fixes and releases the wasabi, and the turning mechanism 1 drives the wasabi to rotate, thereby cleaning the entire wasabi. This improves cleaning efficiency and solves the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 To further improve cleaning efficiency, one feasible solution is: the turning mechanism 1 includes several rollers 11 arranged at intervals and a turning motor 12 for driving the rollers 11. When this solution is adopted, the turning motor 12 drives all the driving rollers 11 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the wasabi between two adjacent rollers 11 to rotate, which can clean multiple wasabi and further improve cleaning efficiency.

[0041] Optionally, in this embodiment, the roller 11 is connected to a sprocket and the sprocket is connected to a chain. When this scheme is adopted, since the chain drive has a constant transmission ratio, all drive rollers 11 can rotate synchronously.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 To facilitate the rotation of wasabi, one feasible solution is to form a protrusion 13 on the roller 11. When this solution is adopted, the protrusion 13 can be used to move the wasabi and make it rotate.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the limiting mechanism 2. One feasible solution is as follows: The limiting mechanism 2 includes a vertical plate 22 driven by a telescopic rod 21. Several limiting plates 23 are installed on the vertical plate 22, and a spring 24 is installed between the limiting plates 23 and the vertical plate 22. When this solution is adopted, the telescopic rod 21 drives the vertical plate 22 to approach the wasabi, and the several limiting plates 23 press against the corresponding wasabi and compress the spring 24, thereby clamping the wasabi. During the clamping of the wasabi, the flipping mechanism 1 stops working.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the upright plate 22 is connected to two telescopic rods 21, and both telescopic rods 21 are electrically servo telescopic rods. When this solution is adopted, the two telescopic rods 21 can move synchronously.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 To avoid crushing the wasabi, one feasible solution is to provide flexible pads 25 on both the limiting plate 23 and the flipping mechanism 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, the flexible pads 25 are rubber pads or silicone pads. When this solution is adopted, the wasabi can be prevented from being rigidly squeezed under the protection of the flexible pads 25.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 This solution is not limited to the specific structure of the drive unit 32. One feasible solution is that the drive unit 32 includes a cleaning motor 321 connected to the cleaning brush 31. The cleaning motor 321 is connected to a movable plate 322 and the movable plate 322 is connected to an electric guide rail 323. When this solution is adopted, the cleaning motor 321 drives the cleaning brush 31 to rotate, and at the same time, the electric guide rail 323 drives the cleaning brush 31 to move horizontally to clean the wasabi.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the drive unit 32 includes two movable plates 322 and the cleaning brush 31 is rotatably connected to the movable plates 322. The two movable plates 322 are respectively connected to corresponding electric guide rails 323. The electric guide rails 323 are electric lead screw linear guide rails and are driven by servo motors. When this scheme is adopted, the two electric guide rails 323 can work synchronously by controlling the servo motors.

[0048] To address the issue of low cleaning efficiency, this solution involves placing wasabi on the turning mechanism 1 and rinsing it with clean water. The wasabi is then fixed by the limiting mechanism 2, and the cleaning brush 31 is rotated by the drive unit 32 to clean the wasabi. During the cleaning process, the limiting mechanism 2 repeatedly fixes and releases the wasabi, and the turning mechanism 1 drives the wasabi to rotate, thereby cleaning the entire wasabi and improving cleaning efficiency, thus solving the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0049] To facilitate the fixing of wasabi, in this solution, the limiting mechanism 2 includes a vertical plate 22 driven by a telescopic rod 21. Several limiting plates 23 are installed on the vertical plate 22, and a spring 24 is installed between the limiting plates 23 and the vertical plate 22. The telescopic rod 21 drives the vertical plate 22 to approach the wasabi, and the several limiting plates 23 press against the corresponding wasabi, compressing the spring 24, thereby clamping the wasabi. During the clamping of wasabi, the flipping mechanism 1 stops working.

[0050] To facilitate the cleaning of wasabi, in this solution, the drive unit 32 includes a cleaning motor 321 connected to the cleaning brush 31. The cleaning motor 321 is connected to a movable plate 322, and the movable plate 322 is connected to an electric guide rail 323. The cleaning motor 321 drives the cleaning brush 31 to rotate, and at the same time, the electric guide rail 323 drives the cleaning brush 31 to move horizontally to clean the wasabi.
