Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the processing of konjac food products, cleaning and drying the raw materials is a crucial step. This step aims to remove dirt adhering to the konjac skin, as well as impurities such as skin debris generated during peeling, thereby ensuring product quality and hygiene safety. Currently, in actual production, the cleaning and drying of konjac raw materials is mostly done manually, which suffers from problems such as cumbersome operation, low efficiency, and high labor costs.

[0003] With the widespread application of automation technology in the food processing industry, the cleaning or peeling of konjac raw materials in factory processing can be carried out using automated devices such as ultrasonic cleaners or peeling machines. However, after the peeling process, the konjac raw materials still need to undergo further cleaning to thoroughly remove residual debris, dirt, and other impurities from the surface. To address this, some automated cleaning and drying machines have emerged on the market, such as the technical solution disclosed in patent application number CN202420757368.1. This solution uses a conveyor belt for automated material transport, with drainage holes on the conveyor belt for drainage, and combines this with drainage and drying components arranged above to achieve automated cleaning and drying of the materials.

[0004] While these automated washing and drying machines improve production efficiency to some extent, they still have several shortcomings. Firstly, the conveyor belt is positioned outside the drainage and drying components at both ends. During operation, water from the drainage components continuously sprays onto the conveyor belt, causing water stains at the bottom of the belt to be easily transported to the outside. If no water collection plate is installed under the conveyor belt, the water will drip randomly, affecting the processing environment. Secondly, because the material is laid flat on the conveyor belt, its bottom is in close contact with the belt, making it difficult for the water flow to thoroughly rinse during washing and for the hot air to effectively penetrate during drying. This results in poor cleaning and drying of the bottom of the material, affecting the overall quality of the konjac products. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a cleaning and drying device. The cleaning and drying device has a support member set inside the frame to support the material. Combined with the drive component above, the material on the support member can be conveyed to realize automatic cleaning and drying of the material. By automatically conveying the material in this way, not only is the problem of water stains flowing out at will, but also the problem of the bottom of the material being fixed on the conveyor belt, resulting in incomplete cleaning, is avoided.

[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: a cleaning and drying device is constructed, including a frame, a support member is provided inside the frame, the support member extends to the outside of the frame and communicates with the feeding platform and the discharging frame on the outside of the frame, a driving component is provided above the support member at the inner end of the frame to drive the material to move above the support member, a cleaning component and a drying component are also provided inside the frame, the cleaning component and the drying component are respectively provided above and below the support member and spray high-pressure liquid and gas onto the material on the support member.

[0007] Preferably, a water storage tank is provided on the outside of the frame, and the water storage tank is connected to the inside of the frame to store the return water sprayed by the cleaning component. An inlet pipe and a return pipe are also provided on the water storage tank. One end of the return pipe is located at the bottom of the water storage tank and is equipped with a screen, and the other end extends to the outside and is connected to the cleaning component.

[0008] Preferably, a filter frame is also placed at the connection point between the inner end of the water storage tank and the frame.

[0009] Preferably, the support member consists of several parallel sliding rods arranged at the inner end of the frame. The two ends of the sliding rods are respectively connected to the feeding platform and the discharge frame on the outer side of the frame. A soft curtain is provided on the end of the frame, and a discharge sliding rod is inclinedly arranged at the inner end of the discharge frame.

[0010] Preferably, the drive assembly includes two drive shafts, which are disposed at the inner end of the frame above both ends of the support member and maintain rotation;

[0011] Two drive belts are tensioned on two drive shafts;

[0012] Several push rods are evenly distributed on the surfaces of the two transmission belts.

[0013] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a spray pipe and several atomizing spray heads. One end of the spray pipe is connected to the return water pipe, and the other end of the spray pipe is arranged in a ring or disc shape above and below the support. The atomizing spray heads are respectively connected to the spray pipes above and below the support.

[0014] Preferably, the drying assembly consists of an air inlet pipe and an air jet pipe. One end of the air inlet pipe is connected to an external high-pressure air source, and the other end is fixed to the frame. One end of the air jet pipe is connected to the air inlet pipe, and the other end is arranged above and below the support.

[0015] Preferably, the cleaning component is located at one end of the frame near the infeeding platform, and the drying component is located at one end of the frame near the discharge frame.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] This cleaning and drying device abandons the traditional design of exposed conveyor belt ends. Instead, it incorporates internal support components to hold the materials, forming a relatively enclosed space with the bottom of the frame. During the cleaning process, water discharged from the drainage components falls directly into a collection tank at the bottom of the frame, preventing continuous water spraying onto the conveyor belt. This eliminates the possibility of water stains from the bottom of the conveyor belt being carried to the outside of the equipment and dripping indiscriminately, maintaining a clean and dry production environment, reducing floor cleaning and maintenance costs, and lowering the safety hazard of workers slipping on wet floors.

[0018] Traditional conveyor belts cause the bottom of the material to be in close contact with the conveying plane, creating cleaning dead zones. However, with the support components of this device, the material is placed on the conveying plane, and the drive components above move the material. During this process, the washing water can effectively rinse the bottom and top of the material, effectively removing debris, dirt and other impurities adhering to the surface of the material, significantly improving the processing quality and hygiene standards of konjac food.

[0019] Meanwhile, the automated conveying method combining the support components and drive components significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs compared to manual operation. Furthermore, this structural design reduces corrosion and damage to equipment components caused by water spillage, extends equipment lifespan, reduces equipment maintenance frequency, and ensures the stability of the production line operation.
