Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food raw material processing technology, specifically to a rapid cleaning device for raw materials used in food production. Background Technology
[0002] Food processing raw material cleaning refers to the process of removing impurities, contaminants, and harmful microorganisms from the surface of raw materials using physical or chemical methods before formal food processing. This is a crucial basic step in food processing, directly affecting the safety, hygiene quality, sensory quality, and shelf life of the final product.
[0003] Cleaning equipment is used to remove dust and debris from the surface of food ingredients by using the cleaning water inside the equipment. After cleaning, the food ingredients are taken out of the equipment and enter the next processing step.
[0004] Traditional cleaning equipment often results in dust and debris from the outside of food ingredients getting into the cleaning water during the cleaning process. When the ingredients are removed, some of the dust and debris will re-adhere to them, leading to incomplete cleaning. To address this, we propose a rapid cleaning device for food ingredients. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a rapid cleaning device for raw materials in food production, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] This utility model provides a rapid cleaning device for raw materials used in food production, comprising:
[0008] A washing tank, the top of which is equipped with a feed plate for conveying food raw materials;
[0009] The cleaning mechanism includes a transmission rod movably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank via bearings, a conveyor mesh plate with equal spacing fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod, a rotating rod with the opposite rotation direction to the transmission rod movably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank via bearings, a turning mesh plate with equal spacing fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod, and a guide plate fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank.
[0010] The rinsing mechanism includes an L-shaped seat fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank. A diversion pipe is provided inside the L-shaped seat, and nozzles distributed in a straight line at equal intervals are provided at the bottom of the diversion pipe. A pad is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank near the feed plate.
[0011] Preferably, two symmetrically distributed side plates are fixedly connected to the outer sides of two adjacent conveyor mesh plates.
[0012] Preferably, a motor base is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank, and a drive motor is installed on the outside of the motor base.
[0013] Preferably, the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear and a drive wheel.
[0014] Preferably, a driven wheel is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod, and the same belt for transmission is provided on the outer side of the driven wheel and the outer side of the driving wheel.
[0015] Preferably, a driven gear is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod, and the outside of the driven gear meshes with the outside of the driving gear.
[0016] Preferably, the top of the pad is inclined toward the sewage pipe, the top of the diversion pipe is fixedly connected to the water inlet pipe, the outside of the diversion pipe is fixedly connected to the fixing rod, and the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped seat.
[0017] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the known prior art:
[0018] 1. This utility model, by setting up a cleaning mechanism and a rinsing mechanism, turns the food raw materials into the water under the action of the turning screen plate when cleaning the food raw materials. During the movement, the dust and impurities on the surface of the food raw materials are removed. Under the action of the conveying screen plate, the food raw materials after the initial cleaning are lifted up and rinsed again by the nozzle. This can effectively prevent the surface of the food raw materials from adsorbing dust and impurities and improve the cleaning effect of the food raw materials.
[0019] 2. Through the setting of the rinsing mechanism, this utility model can continuously replenish the clean water in the cleaning tank when the nozzle rinses the food raw materials. At the same time, the drain pipe can discharge the dust and debris deposited at the bottom of the cleaning tank, ensuring that the water in the cleaning tank is always in a suitable state for cleaning, reducing the residue of dust and debris in the cleaning water in the cleaning tank, and further improving the cleaning effect on food raw materials.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments. Example 1:
[0029] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which discloses a rapid cleaning device for raw materials used in food production, comprising:
[0030] The washing tank 1 is equipped with a feed plate 4 for conveying food raw materials at the top.
[0031] The cleaning mechanism 2 includes a transmission rod 211 movably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 via bearings. A conveyor mesh plate 203 with equal spacing is fixedly connected to the outer side of the transmission rod 211. A rotating rod 206 with the opposite rotation direction to the transmission rod 211 is movably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 via bearings. A turning mesh plate 204 with equal spacing is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating rod 206. A guide plate 202 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cleaning tank 1.
[0032] These rotating turning screens 204 extend deep into the water, continuously agitating, turning over, and propelling the submerged or floating food ingredients forward. During this process, the food ingredients are powerfully agitated and rubbed in the water, making full contact with the water flow, effectively washing away and removing loose dust, mud, and lightweight debris adhering to their surfaces.
[0033] The rotating conveyor plate 203 gradually lifts and raises the food ingredients on its surface from the water, and continues to move diagonally upwards, making it easier for the nozzle 306 to clean the outside of the food ingredients.
[0034] Specifically, two symmetrically distributed side plates 201 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of two adjacent conveyor mesh plates 203.
[0035] The side plate 201 prevents food ingredients from falling between the two conveyor mesh plates 203, ensuring the stability of the conveyor mesh plate 203 in conveying food ingredients.
[0036] Specifically, a motor base 210 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning pool 1, a drive motor 209 is installed on the outside of the motor base 210, the output shaft of the drive motor 209 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 208 and a drive wheel, a driven wheel 205 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 206, the same belt 207 for transmission is provided on the outside of the driven wheel 205 and the outside of the drive wheel, a driven gear 212 is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod 211, and the outside of the driven gear 212 meshes with the outside of the drive gear 208.
[0037] The drive motor 209 can simultaneously drive the transmission rod 211 and the rotating rod 206 to rotate in opposite directions. The rotating rod 206 rotates and uses the turning screen 204 to turn the food raw materials downward and push them to the conveying screen 203. Under the action of the conveying screen 203, the food raw materials in the water are lifted up, which facilitates subsequent rinsing and entry into the next process. Example 2:
[0038] Reference Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that:
[0039] The rinsing mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped seat 304 fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning tank 1. A diversion pipe 305 is provided inside the L-shaped seat 304. Spray nozzles 306 are arranged in a straight line at equal intervals at the bottom of the diversion pipe 305. A pad 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 near the feed plate 4.
[0040] The water is sprayed at a certain pressure from multiple nozzles 306, forming a dense water curtain or jet that powerfully and thoroughly rinses the food ingredients exposed to the air beneath it. This rinsing step acts directly on the surface of the ingredients after they have left the water, resulting in a stronger scouring force that effectively removes residual and re-adsorbed dirt, significantly improving the final cleanliness.
[0041] Specifically, the top of the pad 302 is inclined toward the drain pipe 301, the top of the diversion pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 303, the outside of the diversion pipe 305 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 307, and the fixing rod 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped seat 304.
[0042] Enhanced dynamic water circulation: While the nozzle 306 continuously sprays clean water for secondary rinsing, this clean water is continuously replenished into the cleaning tank 1. A pad 302 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 near the feed plate 4, with its top inclined towards the drain pipe 301. This design allows heavier impurities such as mud, sand, and pebbles carried by the initially dirty raw materials falling from the feed plate 4, as well as dirt settled during the cleaning process, to naturally slide down and accumulate in the low-lying area at the bottom of the inclined pad 302, facilitating discharge through the drain pipe 301.
[0043] Enhanced sewage discharge and water quality maintenance: The sewage discharge pipe 301, with a flow rate matching that of the water inlet pipe 303, can be adjusted by regulating the valve opening to continuously discharge turbid sewage and settled dust and debris accumulated at the bottom of the pool, especially in the sloping bottom area of the pad plate 302, from the cleaning pool 1. This dynamic circulation mechanism of "simultaneous water intake and drainage" ensures that the water in the cleaning pool 1 remains relatively clean at all times, effectively reducing the concentration and residue of impurities in the cleaning water.
[0044] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0045] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:
[0046] Food ingredients that need to be cleaned enter the cleaning tank 1 through the feed plate 4. The dust and debris on the surface of the food ingredients are cleaned by the cleaning water inside the cleaning tank 1.
[0047] The drive motor 209 drives the rotating rod 206 to rotate through the drive wheel, the driven wheel 205 and the belt 207. The rotating rod 206 rotates and flips the food raw materials that have entered the washing tank 1 into the water inside the washing tank 1 through the turning screen 204. During the process of the food raw materials being pushed by the turning screen 204, the dust and debris on their surface are further removed.
[0048] The food ingredients, after being turned over by the turning screen 204, move to the conveyor screen 203. Under the action of the rotating conveyor screen 203, the food ingredients are lifted up. When the lifted food ingredients move to the bottom of the nozzle 306, the cleaning water sprayed from the nozzle 306 washes the surface of the food ingredients again, removing the dust and debris that were not completely cleaned and re-adsorbed on the surface of the food ingredients. After being washed, the food ingredients rotate to the guide plate 202 and roll onto the guide plate 202 when the conveyor screen 203 is tilted, and enter the next processing step.
[0049] When the nozzle 306 rinses the food raw materials, the cleaning water carries dust and debris into the cleaning tank 1. The pad 302 can collect the dust and debris that falls from the feed point. The drain pipe 301 discharges the cleaning water and the collected dust and debris from the cleaning tank 1 at the same flow rate as the incoming cleaning water, thus completing the cleaning of the food raw materials.
[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
