Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food testing technology, and in particular to an integrated device for cleaning and blanching small packaged food. Background Technology

[0002] Vegetables refer to plants or fungi that can be cooked and prepared as food. Vegetables are an essential part of people's daily diet, and packaged foods include packaged vegetables. However, ensuring the quality and safety of packaged vegetables is crucial; therefore, vegetables require washing and blanching during processing. Pre-treatment of vegetables is a key step in ensuring their safety and quality, mainly including two core processes: washing and blanching. Currently, the industry generally adopts a separate equipment and step-by-step operation mode.

[0003] (1) Cleaning process: This mainly relies on a high-pressure spraying device, which consists of a frame and an internal conveyor belt. The conveyor belt is similar to a conveyor belt on an assembly line, but with a hollow design. Driven by a motor and conveyor rollers, the upper part of the conveyor belt in the frame transports the vegetables through the bottom of the spraying device, where the spraying device removes mud, pesticide residues, and some microorganisms. After cleaning, the vegetables need to be manually or mechanically removed and drained before proceeding to the next step.

[0004] (2) Blanching process: A separate continuous blanching machine is required to briefly heat the drained vegetables in steam to deactivate enzymes, maintain color, remove bitterness, and reduce microbial load. After blanching, the vegetables must be cooled immediately (usually by ice water bath) and drained again before proceeding to subsequent processing or packaging.

[0005] Based on this, the applicant believes that the main drawbacks of the existing technology are: the washing, intermediate transfer (draining), blanching and cooling are carried out in separate steps, which increases the number of operation steps, indirectly reduces the overall production efficiency and increases the labor intensity of the workers. In addition, in the washing and subsequent blanching processes, the water sprayed can only wash the top part of the vegetables, while the bottom and sides of the vegetables are difficult to be effectively washed, which affects the overall washing and blanching effect of the vegetables. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated washing and blanching device for small packaged food, including a machine frame and a mesh belt for conveying vegetables within the machine frame. The upper end of the machine frame is also fixedly installed with washing components, blanching components, and cooling components connected to the mesh belt. The device also includes:

[0007] The storage net cylinder, located above the mesh belt, consists of two sets of joined semi-cylinders. The two sets of semi-cylinders are joined together to store vegetables. The semi-cylinders adopt a hollow structure design, and multiple sets of protruding ridges are evenly arranged on the inner wall of the semi-cylinders to facilitate the flipping of the vegetables inside when the semi-cylinders rotate.

[0008] A connecting belt is symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mesh belt near both sides and is fixedly connected to the mesh belt. Multiple sets of rotating shafts are transversely arranged on the outer side of the connecting belt. The rotating shafts are connected to the storage mesh cylinder through the connecting assembly and are used to detach and install the storage mesh cylinder.

[0009] A rack is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the equipment frame, and a gear meshing with the rack is fixedly sleeved on the outer end of the rotating shaft, which facilitates driving the storage mesh cylinder for storing vegetables to rotate.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the cleaning component, scalding component, and cooling component are all composed of a mounting cover, a water tank, a high-pressure pump, and pipelines. The bottom of the mounting cover is evenly provided with nozzles that are connected to the top of the mesh belt. The water inlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the water tank through a pipeline, and the water outlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the mounting cover through a pipeline, so that the water in the water tank can be drawn out and transported through the pipeline to the inside of the mounting cover and then sprayed out from the nozzles at the bottom of the mounting cover.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting belt, and the rotating shaft and the connecting belt are rotatably connected by a bearing.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the mating surfaces of the semi-cylinders are all fixedly connected with connecting plates, and the contact surfaces of adjacent connecting plates are all provided with magnetic attracting sheets that attract each other.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, a guide pin is fixedly connected to the outer side of one set of connecting plates on the outer side of the semi-cylinder, and a guide hole matching the guide pin is provided on the mating surface of the other set of connecting plates on the outer side of the semi-cylinder.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the connecting assembly includes a spring telescopic pin fixedly connected to the outside of the semi-cylinder. A rectangular locking block is fixedly connected to the outer end of the spring telescopic pin, and a rectangular slot that mates with the rectangular locking block is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft to facilitate the snap-fit ​​installation of the semi-cylinder.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above solution, the spring telescopic pin is in a spring-extended state by default, so that when stationary, the spring telescopic pin abuts against the rectangular locking block and is stably locked in the rectangular locking groove.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, an abutment plate is also fixedly fitted on the outside of the rectangular card block. The abutment plate abuts against the outside of the rotating shaft, and an opening is provided through the outside of the abutment plate to facilitate the grip of the staff.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) This utility model integrates the cleaning, blanching and cooling processes in the vegetable food processing process into one design, eliminating the need for intermediate manual transfer processes, reducing labor requirements and the problems of vegetable damage and spoilage during the transfer process, improving efficiency while ensuring the quality and food safety of the finished product.

[0019] (2) This utility model differs from the traditional simple mesh belt structure that simply transports vegetables. It uses a storage net to store vegetables and a connecting belt installed on the upper end of the mesh belt with a connecting component. When the mesh belt is transported, the storage net is automatically rotated by the gear meshing structure, which makes it convenient to continuously turn the vegetables inside over, so that the vegetables inside are thoroughly cleaned and blanched.

[0020] (3) The storage net cylinder adopts a simple and portable disassembly and assembly structure, which facilitates the quick connection between the storage net cylinder and the conveyor belt itself, and also allows for easy access to the vegetables and food stored inside, greatly improving the overall portability.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0033] Please combine Figure 1-6A small-packaged food washing and blanching integrated device includes a frame 1 and a mesh belt 2 for conveying vegetables within the frame 1. The upper end of the frame 1 is also fixedly installed with a washing component 3, a blanching component 4, and a cooling component 5 connected to the mesh belt 2. The device also includes a storage mesh cylinder 10, positioned above the mesh belt 2, composed of two sets of connected semi-cylinders 1001. The two sets of semi-cylinders 1001 are connected to store the vegetables. The semi-cylinders 1001 have a hollow structure design. The device also includes connecting straps 6, symmetrically arranged on the surface of the mesh belt 2 near... The two sides are fixedly connected to the mesh belt 2. Multiple sets of rotating shafts 7 are horizontally arranged through the outer side of the connecting belt 6. The rotating shafts 7 are connected to the storage mesh cylinder 10 through the connecting assembly 11, which is used to movably assemble and disassemble the storage mesh cylinder 10. The rotating shafts 7 are rotatably connected to the connecting belt 6, and the rotating shafts 7 and the connecting belt 6 are rotatably connected through the bearing. It also includes a rack 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the equipment frame 1. The outer end of the rotating shaft 7 is fixedly sleeved with a gear 8 that meshes with the rack 9, which facilitates driving the storage mesh cylinder 10 for storing vegetables to rotate.

[0034] It should be added that the cleaning component 3, rinsing component 4, and cooling component 5 are all composed of a mounting cover, a water tank, a high-pressure pump, and pipelines. The bottom of the mounting cover is evenly equipped with nozzles that connect to the top of the mesh belt 2. The water inlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the water tank through a pipeline, and the water outlet of the high-pressure pump is connected to the mounting cover through a pipeline. This facilitates the extraction of water from the water tank, which is then transported through the pipeline to the inside of the mounting cover and sprayed out from the nozzles at the bottom of the mounting cover. The water tank in the cleaning component 3 stores the cleaning solution, the water tank in the rinsing component 4 stores high-temperature water, and the water tank in the cooling component 5 stores ice water. The nozzle of the rinsing component 4 has an atomizing effect. In addition, if necessary, a set of high-pressure pumps can be used for delivery, and valves can be installed on other pipelines. For specific pipeline layout design, please refer to the existing technology in the field, or relevant published patents and literature, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0035] Based on this, when using this device, the staff places the vegetables between two sets of hollowed-out semi-cylinders 1001, and then connects the two sets of semi-cylinders 1001 to form a storage net cylinder 10. The storage net cylinder 10 is then installed on the rotating shaft 7 on the outside of the connecting belt 6 via the connecting component 11. In this way, when in use, the mesh belt 2 at the upper end of the equipment frame 1 is started by an external switch and the appropriate speed is adjusted. The mesh belt 2 is transported by the motor and the driven transmission shaft on the outside of the equipment frame 1. During the transport of the mesh belt 2, the connecting belt 6 at its upper end is also transported and drives the rotating shaft 7 to move together. When the rotating shaft 7 moves with the mesh belt 2, the gear 8 at the outer end meshes with the rack 9 on the outside of the equipment frame 1, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating shaft 7, that is, realizing the rotation of the storage net cylinder 10 connected between the rotating shafts 7. Finally, the storage net cylinder 10 moves with the mesh belt 2 while rotating on its own axis. The storage net cylinder 10 passes through the washing component 3, the blanching component 4, and the cooling component 5 in sequence. The existing washing component 3, blanching component 4, and cooling component 5 are used to wash, blanch, and cool the vegetables in the storage net cylinder 10 in sequence. A single mesh belt "assembly line" can complete the process without the need for the vegetables to be transferred back and forth.

[0036] Based on this, it should also be added that the inner wall of the semi-cylinder 1001 is evenly provided with multiple sets of protruding ridges. When the storage net cylinder 10 moves and rotates along with the net belt 2, the protruding ridges on the inner wall of the semi-cylinder 1001 can facilitate the internal vegetables to be turned over, thereby enabling the vegetables to be thoroughly cleaned, blanched and cooled, thus improving the overall processing effect.

[0037] In addition, connecting plates 1002 are fixedly connected to the mating surfaces of the semi-cylinders 1001, and magnetic suction plates are provided on the contact surfaces of adjacent connecting plates 1002 to attract each other. This allows the two sets of semi-cylinders 1001 to maintain relative stability after mating. A guide pin 1003 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 1002 on the outer side of one set of semi-cylinders 1001, and a guide hole 1004 matching the guide pin 1003 is provided on the mating surface of the connecting plate 1002 on the outer side of the other set of semi-cylinders 1001. When the semi-cylinders 1001 are mated, the guide pin 1003 is inserted into the guide hole 1004 and magnetically attracted by the magnetic suction plates. This ensures that the storage mesh cylinder 10 maintains relative stability and is limited during the movement and conveying process of the mesh belt 2.

[0038] In addition, the connecting assembly 11 includes a spring telescopic pin 1101 fixedly connected to the outside of the semi-cylinder 1001. A rectangular locking block 1102 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the spring telescopic pin 1101, and a rectangular slot 701 that abuts against the rectangular locking block 1102 is provided on the outside of the rotating shaft 7, which facilitates the snap-fit ​​installation of the semi-cylinder 1001. The spring telescopic pin 1101 is in a spring-extended state by default, so that when stationary, the spring telescopic pin 1101 abuts against the rectangular locking block 1102 and is stably snapped into the rectangular slot 701. When installing the storage net cylinder 10, the outer spring telescopic pin 1101 of the semi-cylinder 1001 that makes up the storage net cylinder 10 is squeezed to place the two sets of semi-cylinders 1001 between the two sets of rotating shafts 7. Then, the spring telescopic pin 1101 is released and springs open under the elastic extension and contraction of the spring telescopic pin 1101. The rectangular locking block 1102 on the outer side of the spring telescopic pin 1101 is engaged in the rectangular locking groove 701 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 7. The installation of the semi-cylinder 1001 is completed. Due to the design of the rectangular locking structure, it can be ensured that the storage net cylinder 10 rotates together with the rotating shaft 7 during rotation, which facilitates the turning of the vegetables inside and realizes comprehensive cleaning, blanching and cooling.

[0039] In addition, an abutment plate 1103 is fixedly fitted on the outside of the rectangular card block 1102. The abutment plate 1103 abuts against the outside of the rotating shaft 7, which can play a limiting role. An opening is provided through the outside of the abutment plate 1103 to facilitate the staff to hold it. During the subsequent disassembly of the storage net cylinder 10, the staff can hold the abutment plate 1103 and squeeze the spring telescopic pin 1101. By referring to the above installation steps, the storage net cylinder 10 can be disassembled, the vegetables inside can be poured out and replaced. The operation is very simple. Even during the operation of the mesh belt 2, the disassembly and assembly operations can be carried out, which is highly portable.

[0040] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
