[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-3 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the matsutake mushroom mesh permeable cleaning cage provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 An enlarged structural diagram of part A shown in the figure; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part B.
[0024] The matsutake mushroom mesh permeable cleaning cage includes: a cleaning box 1 with support legs 2 fixedly installed; a cleaning cage 3 fixedly installed inside the cleaning box 1; a feeding hopper 4 fixedly installed on the cleaning box 1 and corresponding to an opening on one side of the cleaning cage 3; a rotating disk 5 rotatably installed inside the cleaning box 1 and disposed inside the cleaning cage 3; a cleaning brush 6 rotatably installed on the rotating disk 5 and connected to a rotation mechanism disposed on the cleaning box 1; and a fixed cover 7 fixedly installed on the support legs 2, with a rotary motor 8 fixedly installed inside the fixed cover 7, the output shaft of the rotary motor 8 being fixedly connected to the rotating disk 5. The cleaning box, as the main container of the entire cleaning device, is fixedly installed with support legs 2, providing a foundation and support for other components and ensuring the overall stability of the equipment. The mesh-like permeable design of the cleaning cage 3 ensures that the cleaning water fully contacts the matsutake mushrooms for excellent cleaning results, while also effectively restraining their position to prevent them from scattering during cleaning, reducing the possibility of damage from collisions and improving cleaning efficiency and quality. The feed hopper 4 allows operators to accurately and quickly feed the matsutake mushrooms into the cleaning cage, improving feeding efficiency and operational convenience. The rotating disc 5, through its rotational motion, drives the cleaning brush 6 to thoroughly scrub the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3, ensuring a more thorough cleaning and effectively removing dirt and impurities from the surface. The relatively gentle rotation also reduces mechanical damage to the matsutake mushrooms. The cleaning brush 6 uses a combination of rotation and revolution, allowing for multi-angle scrubbing of the matsutake mushrooms, improving the comprehensiveness and effectiveness of the cleaning, further enhancing cleaning quality. This gentle motion also maximizes the protection of the matsutake mushrooms' integrity. The fixing cover 7 provides installation space and protection for the rotary motor 8, extending the motor's service life. The rotary motor 8 provides power for the rotation of the rotating disk 5, enabling the rotating disk 5 to rotate at a set speed and direction, thereby driving the cleaning brush 6 to effectively clean the matsutake mushrooms.
[0025] The rotating mechanism includes an annular groove 9, a fixed gear 10, and teeth 11. The annular groove 9 is formed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The fixed gear 10 is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the cleaning brush 6 and extends into the annular groove 9. The teeth 11 are fixedly mounted in the annular groove 9 and are arranged in a ring shape, meshing with the fixed gear 10. The annular groove 9 provides a stable path and constraint for the rotation of the fixed gear 10, allowing it to move along a predetermined trajectory as the cleaning brush 6 revolves around the rotating disk 5. This ensures the stability and reliability of the rotating mechanism, guaranteeing the continuous and smooth rotation of the cleaning brush 6. The fixed gear 10 is a key transmission component in the rotating mechanism. By meshing with the teeth 11 in the annular groove 9, it converts the power of the revolution into the rotational power of the cleaning brush 6, thus transmitting and converting power. The teeth 11 cooperate with the fixed gear 10, providing a precise meshing point for the rotation of the fixed gear 10.
[0026] An air pump 12 is fixedly installed on the support leg 2. An exhaust pipe 13 is fixedly installed on the exhaust end of the air pump 12, extending into the cleaning chamber 1 and correspondingly positioned with the cleaning cage 3. The air pump 12 serves as the power source for the entire gas supply, providing a continuous and stable air source for the cleaning process. The operation of the air pump 12 generates an airflow with a certain pressure, providing the power basis for subsequent airflow cleaning operations. Installing it on the support leg 2 makes efficient use of the equipment space, resulting in a more compact overall structure. The exhaust pipe 13 serves as an airflow delivery channel, accurately guiding the compressed air generated by the air pump 12 to the vicinity of the cleaning cage 3 within the cleaning chamber 1. This allows the airflow to directly act on the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3, improving airflow utilization efficiency and enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0027] A guide block 14 is fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank 1. The guide block 14 is inclined, with its relatively higher side corresponding to the exhaust pipe 13. When the air pump 12 exhausts air into the cleaning tank 1 through the exhaust pipe 13, the inclined surface of the guide block 14 guides the airflow. The reasonable design and inclined setting of the guide block 14 help control the impact force of water and airflow, reduce damage and defects caused by mechanical action during the cleaning process, improve the yield of matsutake mushrooms, and increase the added value of the product. At the same time, the guide block 14 guides impurities under the matsutake mushrooms during cleaning, which is beneficial for the removal of impurities.
[0028] A drain hopper 15 is fixedly installed on the cleaning tank 1, positioned on the lower side of the guide block 14. A valve 16 is fixedly installed on the drain hopper 15. During the cleaning process, the guide block 14 guides water and air flow to wash away the dirt on the surface of the matsutake mushrooms, which then flows downwards with the water. The funnel-shaped design of the drain hopper 15 quickly collects the wastewater containing dirt, preventing it from accumulating and remaining in the cleaning tank 1. The valve 16 controls the timely and smooth discharge of wastewater from the cleaning tank 1, maintaining the cleanliness of the water within the tank and providing favorable conditions for subsequent cleaning work. This ensures that each cleaning is conducted in a relatively clean environment, improving the consistency of the cleaning results.
[0029] The cleaning cage 3 has a connecting opening at its bottom, and the cleaning box 1 has a discharge port 17 at its bottom, which is connected to the connecting opening. A sealing plate 18 is slidably installed on the cleaning box 1, sealing the discharge port 17. A discharge hopper 19 is fixedly installed on the cleaning box 1, corresponding to the discharge port 17. A driving mechanism is provided on the cleaning box 1 to open and close the sealing plate 18. After cleaning, matsutake mushrooms can enter the discharge area at the bottom of the cleaning box 1 through the connecting opening from the cleaning cage 3. The discharge port 17 guides the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3 to the discharge hopper 19 outside the cleaning box 1, improving the efficiency and accuracy of discharge. During the cleaning process, the sealing plate 18 is in a sealed state for the discharge port 17, preventing water and matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning box 1 from accidentally flowing out, ensuring the normal operation of the cleaning work. After cleaning, the driving mechanism drives the sealing plate 18 to slide open the discharge port 17, improving the controllability of the production process. The funnel-shaped design of the 19-cell hopper expands the collection area, prevents matsutake mushrooms from scattering, and improves collection efficiency. The drive mechanism enhances production efficiency and ease of operation, while automated control reduces manual operation steps and decreases the frequency of direct contact between operators and equipment / materials, thereby reducing the risk of safety accidents caused by human error and ensuring the safety and stability of the production process.
[0030] The driving mechanism includes a slide groove 20, a connecting rod 21, and an electric telescopic rod 22. The slide groove 20 is formed on the cleaning tank 1 and corresponds to the sealing plate 18. The connecting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 18, and the electric telescopic rod 22 is fixedly installed on the cleaning tank 1. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 21. The slide groove 20 provides a precise sliding track for the sealing plate 18, ensuring the stability and straightness of the sealing plate 18 during sliding. This prevents the sealing plate 18 from shifting or shaking during sliding, thus ensuring that the discharge port 17 can be accurately sealed and opened, improving the accuracy and reliability of discharge control. The connecting rod 21 acts as a bridge connecting the sealing plate 18 and the electric telescopic rod 22, accurately transmitting the linear motion of the electric telescopic rod 22 to the sealing plate 18, enabling the sealing plate 18 to slide accordingly according to the action of the electric telescopic rod 22. The electric telescopic rod 22, as the core component of the driving mechanism, provides power for the sliding of the sealing plate 18. The extension and retraction of its output shaft drives the connecting rod 21 and the sealing plate 18 to slide in the slide groove 20, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the discharge port 17 and achieving automated control of the production process.
[0031] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.
[0032] The working principle of the matsutake mushroom mesh water-permeable cleaning cage provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0033] In operation, the operator feeds the matsutake mushrooms to be cleaned into the cleaning cage 3 through the feed hopper 4. The rotary motor 8 inside the fixed cover 7 is then activated, and its output shaft drives the rotating disk 5 to rotate within the cleaning chamber 1. Since the cleaning brush 6 is rotatably mounted on the rotating disk 5, the rotation of the disk 5 causes the cleaning brush 6 to revolve around its center. During this revolve, the fixed gear 10, fixedly mounted on the shaft of the cleaning brush 6, also revolves. Because the fixed gear 10 meshes with the teeth 11 arranged in a ring within the annular groove 9 on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 1, the fixed gear 10 rotates along the teeth 11 during its revolve, thereby causing the cleaning brush 6 to rotate. This allows the cleaning brush 6 to thoroughly and gently clean the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3 from multiple angles, effectively removing dirt and impurities from the surface of the matsutake mushrooms.
[0034] The air pump 12, mounted on the support leg 2, is turned on. The air pump 12 generates pressurized airflow, which is accurately delivered to the cleaning tank 1 through the exhaust pipe 13 connected to the exhaust end, and directly acts on the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3. An inclined guide block 14, fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank 1, is positioned with its relatively higher side corresponding to the exhaust pipe 13. This guide block directs the airflow, allowing it to more effectively impact the matsutake mushrooms and enhance the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the guide block 14 guides impurities washed from the matsutake mushrooms, causing them to flow downwards with the water.
[0035] During the cleaning process, the guide block 14 guides the water and air flow to wash away the dirt on the surface of the matsutake mushrooms. This dirt then flows downwards with the water to the lower side of the guide block 14. At this point, the drain hopper 15, located on the lower side of the guide block 14, comes into play. Its funnel-shaped design quickly collects the wastewater containing dirt, preventing wastewater from accumulating and remaining in the cleaning tank 1. Operators can control the valve 16 installed on the drain hopper 15 to promptly and smoothly discharge the wastewater from the cleaning tank 1.
[0036] After the matsutake mushrooms are cleaned, the drive mechanism is activated to unload them. The electric telescopic rod 22 starts working, and its output shaft extends and retracts, driving the connecting rod 21, which is fixedly connected to it, to move. Since the connecting rod 21 is fixedly installed on the sealing plate 18, the movement of the connecting rod 21 causes the sealing plate 18 to slide within the groove 20, which is opened on the cleaning box 1 and corresponds to the sealing plate 18, thereby causing the sealing plate 18, which originally sealed the unloading port 17, to slide open the unloading port 17. At this time, the matsutake mushrooms in the cleaning cage 3 enter the unloading hopper 19, which is connected to the unloading port 17 at the bottom of the cleaning box 1, through the connecting opening at its bottom.
[0037] Compared with related technologies, the matsutake mushroom mesh permeable washing cage provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0038] This utility model provides a matsutake mushroom mesh permeable cleaning cage, which achieves multi-dimensional brushing of matsutake mushrooms by combining the rotation and revolution of the cleaning brush; the mesh permeable design allows the water flow to fully contact and constrain the position of the matsutake mushrooms, improving the thoroughness of cleaning and reducing collision damage.
[0039] The feed hopper and cleaning cage opening correspond to each other for convenient and accurate feeding; the cleaning box support legs ensure structural stability and reduce malfunctions; the fixed cover protects the rotating motor, extends motor life, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0040] The feeding system is highly automated, with a large collection range in the feeding hopper, improving collection efficiency. An air pump supplies air, and guide blocks direct the airflow to enhance impact, combining with brushing to improve effectiveness; it can also guide impurities to the discharge hopper for timely wastewater removal.
[0041] It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this utility model mainly describe the principle of this utility model. In terms of the technical aspects of this design principle, the setting of the power mechanism, power supply system and control system of the device is not fully described. However, those skilled in the art who understand the principle of the above utility model can clearly understand the specific details of its power mechanism, power supply system and control system.
