Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato dry cleaning technology, specifically a dry cleaning machine for potatoes. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes harvested mechanically from fields often contain a lot of debris such as clods of earth, stones, vines, and plastic film, and their surfaces are also covered in mud. This not only fails to meet the requirements for marketable potatoes but also hinders their later storage and transportation. Before entering the distribution channels, potatoes must undergo rigorous selection, grading, and cleaning to ensure that the finished product meets standards such as being pollution-free, convenient, hygienic, and aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, potato food processing companies are increasingly demanding higher standards for their raw materials. Since the first step in processing potato products is washing, potatoes containing a lot of debris and mud will inevitably increase the difficulty of washing, increase water and electricity consumption, and hinder production companies from reducing processing costs and improving food quality. It can also easily clog machinery, and the wastewater containing large amounts of mud and sand will pollute the surrounding environment.

[0003] Currently, the most commonly used potato separation mechanisms are the rod-type conveyor chain type, the sieve type (including oscillating and drum sieve types), and the arc-shaped toothed type. However, most of these machines are still in the research and development stage, are not yet mature, and their performance is not ideal, making them unsuitable for widespread application. The main problems are that the soil on the potato surface cannot be completely removed, especially the soil in the bud pits, resulting in poor separation of debris from the potatoes, requiring manual assistance for sorting, and the potato skin is easily damaged, which is detrimental to the later storage of potatoes.

[0004] As disclosed in announcement number CN203762247U, the potato dry cleaning machine has independent feeding, dry cleaning, sorting, and discharging mechanisms, facilitating manufacturing, installation, adjustment, maintenance, and transportation. Because the large and small dry cleaning nylon brush rollers rotate in opposite directions, and the linear speed of the large brush roller is greater than that of the small brush roller, it facilitates the forward rolling of the potatoes. Simultaneously, during the rolling process, the large brush roller can quickly and repeatedly brush away dirt from the potato surface, greatly improving the dry cleaning and impurity separation effect. The moderately stiff nylon filaments ensure thorough removal of dirt and sand from sprouts and pits without damaging the potato skin.

[0005] However, during use, when the potato is large, it gets stuck between the large and small dry cleaning nylon brush rollers. When the potato is small, it cannot make contact with the large dry cleaning nylon brush roller, thus affecting the dry cleaning quality of the potato.

[0006] Therefore, we urgently need to provide a dry cleaning machine for potatoes. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dry cleaning machine for potatoes to solve the problems affecting the dry cleaning quality of potatoes mentioned in the background art.

Figures 1-4 The embodiment provides a dry cleaning machine for potatoes, which can simultaneously dry clean potatoes of different sizes, making the dry cleaning convenient and efficient. The dry cleaning machine for potatoes includes a dry cleaning tank 1 and a door 2. The door 2 is hinged to the front of the dry cleaning tank 1. A dry cleaning device is installed inside the dry cleaning tank 1, which includes a dry cleaning mechanism, a mud brushing mechanism, and a collection mechanism.

[0028] The dry cleaning mechanism is located inside the dry cleaning tank 1, the mud brushing mechanism is located inside the dry cleaning tank 1, and the collection mechanism is located at the bottom of the dry cleaning tank 1.

[0029] The dry cleaning mechanism includes a support wheel 301, an inner box 302, a guide rail 303, a gear 304, a motor 305, an output shaft 306, and a pinion 307. The support wheel 301 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the dry cleaning box 1. The inner box 302 is installed inside the dry cleaning box 1. The surface of the inner box 302 has evenly distributed rectangular grooves to allow dirt from the surface of fallen potatoes to be discharged from the inner box 302 through the rectangular grooves. The guide rail 303 is fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of the outer side of the inner box 302. The guide rail 303 has an annular groove inside, and the support wheel 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove. The gear 304 and the pinion... 307 mesh with each other, and the output shaft 306 and pinion 307 are driven to rotate by the motor 305, so that the pinion 307 meshes with the gear 304, thereby causing the inner box 302 to rotate around the support wheel 301, so that the potatoes inside the inner box 302 rub against each other, thereby removing the dirt from the surface of the potatoes and realizing the dry cleaning of the potatoes. The gear 304 is fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the outer side of the inner box 302, the motor 305 is fixedly installed on the right side of the dry cleaning box 1, the output shaft 306 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 305, and the pinion 307 is fixedly installed on the front and rear ends of the outer side of the output shaft 306.

[0030] In order to collect and process the soil and other impurities after dry cleaning, this device is also equipped with a collection mechanism, which includes a feeding box 501 and a pull-out box 502. The feeding box 501 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dry cleaning box 1 and is connected to the bottom of the dry cleaning box 1, so that the potato soil and other impurities inside the dry cleaning box 1 enter the pull-out box 502 for collection along the feeding box 501. The pull-out box 502 is slidably connected to the inside of the pull-out box 502.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4To further improve the dry cleaning quality of potatoes and facilitate the disassembly and cleaning of the brush 402, this device also includes a mud-brushing mechanism. This mechanism comprises a mounting plate 401, a brush 402, a dovetail block 403, and bolts 404. The mounting plate 401 is installed around the inside of the inner box 302. The brush 402 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 401, removing mud and other impurities from the potato surface. The dovetail block 403 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the mounting plate 401. On the surface, the inner wall of the inner box 302 is provided with a dovetail groove, and a threaded hole is provided inside the dovetail groove. The dovetail block 403 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the dovetail groove. The bolt 404 passes through the dovetail block 403 and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole provided in the dovetail groove. The dovetail groove and the dovetail block 403 cooperate to facilitate the installation and removal of the mounting plate 401. When the brush 402 is covered with dirt, the mounting plate 401 can be removed to clean the brush 402. The bolt 404 is threadedly connected to the front end of the brush 402.

[0033] In use, open the door 2 and place the potatoes to be dry-cleaned into the inner box 302. Then close the door 2 and turn on the motor 305 to drive the output shaft 306 and the pinion 307 to rotate and mesh with the gear 304. This causes the inner box 302 to rotate around the support wheel 301 via the guide rail 303. While the inner box 302 is rotating, the potatoes roll inside the inner box 302. At the same time, the potatoes rub and collide with each other, causing the mud and other impurities on the surface to fall off and enter the pull-out box 502 along the feed box 501 for collection. At the same time, the brush 402 contacts the surface of the potatoes to brush away the mud, further improving the dry-cleaning quality of the potatoes. After dry cleaning, open the door 2 and take out the potatoes. When the brush 402 is covered with impurities and mud, remove the bolt 404 and pull out the mounting plate 401 to clean the brush 402, which improves the subsequent dry cleaning effect of the brush 402.
