Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pomelo processing technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for pomelo processing. Background Technology
[0002] Honey pomelo is a high-quality variety of pomelo. Because of its sweet and delicious taste, juicy texture, and rich nutrition, it has gradually become one of the most popular fruits. Every year during the honey pomelo harvest season, a large number of honey pomelos need to be processed. However, honey pomelos are covered with a layer of dust on their surface when they are freshly picked. Therefore, it is necessary to use a cleaning device to remove the dust from the surface of the honey pomelos before they are packaged and boxed.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN213639591U discloses a pomelo cleaning device, which includes a cleaning brush on a cleaning tank to remove dust from the pomelo, a cleaning lint removal device on the underside of a cleaning plate, and a water injection pipe that allows water to flow out from the underside of the cleaning plate so that the cleaning brush can fit in close contact with the pomelo to clean the dust off the pomelo surface. At the same time, a cleaning roller is provided to drive the pomelo to rotate, and works with the cleaning brush to clean the dust off the pomelo from all directions.
[0004] However, in actual use, the cleaning devices mentioned above have limitations. Since pomelos are mostly spherical and have curved surfaces, the contact area between the brush and the surface of the pomelo is limited when cleaning with just a brush. This can easily lead to missed dirt in corners, resulting in incomplete cleaning in certain areas and affecting the quality of pomelo production. Therefore, a cleaning device for pomelo processing is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a cleaning device for pomelo processing, which aims to solve the problem that existing cleaning devices easily miss corner dirt when cleaning pomelos, resulting in incomplete cleaning.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cleaning device for pomelo processing, comprising a cleaning tank, an ultrasonic generator fixedly connected to the left side of the cleaning tank, the right output end of the ultrasonic generator penetrating the cleaning tank, a drain pipe fixedly connected to the right surface of the cleaning tank, an outer arc plate and an inner arc plate fixedly connected from the outside to the inside of the rear inner wall surface of the cleaning tank, both the outer and inner arc plates having through grooves on their inner wall surfaces, a feed housing and a discharge housing fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the outer arc plate, a motor fixedly connected to the front surface of the cleaning tank, a circular plate fixedly connected to the rear output end of the motor, and several push plates fixedly connected in a circular array on the back of the circular plate, the surface of the push plates having water-permeable grooves.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0008] The upper surfaces of both the outer and inner arc-shaped plates are higher than the cleaning pool.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0010] The size of the push plate is adapted to the gap between the outer arc plate and the inner arc plate.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] Both the feed housing and the discharge housing are inclined to the lower right.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A perforated support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer arc plate, and the bottom end of the perforated support plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning pool.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] An internal support plate is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner arc-shaped plate.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the back of the circular plate, and the rear end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall surface of the rear side of the cleaning tank.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] A slider is fixedly connected to the back of the push plate, and an annular groove is formed on the inner wall surface of the rear side of the cleaning pool. The slider is slidably connected to the inside of the annular groove.
[0021] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0022] 1. In this utility model, the combination of an outer arc plate, an inner arc plate, a motor, a circular plate, and a pusher plate can accommodate multiple sets of pomelo materials. The continuous pushing by the pusher plate in a ring array achieves continuous cleaning, greatly improving production efficiency. The high-frequency bubble shock wave generated by the ultrasonic generator efficiently removes dirt, ensuring thorough cleaning. At the same time, when the pusher plate runs at low speed, it lifts the pomelo off the water surface and suspends it for a period of time, allowing the surface water to drain naturally, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and practicality.
[0023] 2. In this utility model, the combination of the hollow support plate, inner support plate, rotating shaft, slider and annular groove can provide rigid support and limit for the outer arc plate, inner arc plate, circular plate and push plate respectively, ensuring long-term stable operation and reducing the risk of structural deformation.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-3One embodiment of this utility model is a cleaning device for processing pomelos, including a cleaning tank 1. An ultrasonic generator 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the cleaning tank 1. The power of the ultrasonic generator 2 is selected as 800-1200W. This power range can generate microbubbles of sufficient density in the water to effectively remove dirt from the surface of the pomelos. The frequency is set to 25-35kHz. At this frequency, the cleaning effect on the grapefruit peel can be guaranteed while the risk of damage to the grapefruit peel can be controlled to a low level. The right output end of the ultrasonic generator 2 passes through the cleaning tank 1. When the cleaning tank 1 is filled with clean water, the ultrasonic generator 2 is activated and emits high-frequency sound waves to create countless tiny bubbles in the water. The bubbles burst instantly to generate shock waves, which can remove dirt from the surface of objects placed in clean water. A drain pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the cleaning tank 1. The sewage inside the cleaning tank 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe 3. A valve (not directly shown in the figure) can be installed on the outside of the drain pipe 3 to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe 3. The above structures are all existing technologies in this field and will not be described in detail here.
[0034] Reference Figures 3-5 An outer arc-shaped plate 4 and an inner arc-shaped plate 5 are fixedly connected from the outside to the inside of the rear inner wall surface of the cleaning tank 1. The outer arc-shaped plate 4 and the inner arc-shaped plate 5 form an arc-shaped cleaning channel for pomelos to pass through for cleaning. The upper surfaces of the outer arc-shaped plate 4 and the inner arc-shaped plate 5 are higher than the cleaning tank 1. The inner wall surfaces of the outer arc-shaped plate 4 and the inner arc-shaped plate 5 are provided with through grooves 6, through which water inside the cleaning tank 1 can freely enter and exit the arc-shaped cleaning channel. The left and right ends of the outer arc-shaped plate 4 are fixedly connected to the inlet shell 7 and the outlet shell 8, respectively. The inlet shell 7 and the outlet shell 8 are both inclined to the lower right. The inclination angle between the feed housing 7 and the discharge housing 8 and the horizontal plane is set to 30-45 degrees. This angle range ensures that the pomelo slides down naturally and stably under the action of gravity. After the pomelo material is placed above the feed housing 7, it can slide down to the right along the inclination of the feed housing 7 and enter the arc-shaped cleaning channel. After entering the arc-shaped cleaning channel, the material can move out of the channel from the right end of the outer arc plate 4 and enter the discharge housing 8 along the arc path of the channel. Finally, it can slide down to the lower right along the inclination of the discharge housing 8 into the pre-set collection container or subsequent processing equipment.
[0035] A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the cleaning tank 1. A circular plate 10 is fixedly connected to the rear output end of the motor 9. When the motor 9 starts, it can drive the circular plate 10 to rotate. Several push plates 11 are fixedly connected in a ring array on the back of the circular plate 10. When the circular plate 10 rotates, it can drive the push plates 11 to rotate around the center of the circular plate 10. The size of the push plates 11 is adapted to the gap between the outer arc plate 4 and the inner arc plate 5. The push plates 11 located at the bottom are in the gap between the outer arc plate 4 and the inner arc plate 5, and do not contact the outer walls of the outer arc plate 4 and the inner arc plate 5. A water permeable groove 12 is opened on the surface of the push plate 11. When the push plate 11 rotates and enters the interior of the cleaning tank 1, the water flow inside the cleaning tank 1 can pass through the water permeable groove 12 and then through the push plate 11, thereby reducing the resistance of the push plate 11 when moving in the water flow and extending the service life of the motor 9.
[0036] When the material reaches the top of the feeding shell 7, it can enter the arc-shaped cleaning channel between the outer arc plate 4 and the inner arc plate 5 along the inclined surface of the feeding shell 7. At this time, the push plate 11 located on the left side inside the cleaning channel can block the material. Then, when the motor 9 starts and drives the push plate 11 to rotate, it can simultaneously drive the material to move in the arc-shaped cleaning channel and immerse it in the water flow. At this time, the activated ultrasonic generator 2 can emit high-frequency sound waves to clean the dirt on the surface of the pomelo. As the push plate 11 continues to move, it can drive the pomelo material out of the inner arc plate 4 and move to the discharge shell 8 for discharge. When the push plate 11 moves to the bottom of the inner arc plate 4 and the material moves upward, it can drive the material out of the water surface. The motor 9 drives the push plate 11 to run at a low speed, which can make the material suspended in the air for a longer time to drip the water adhering to the surface. At the same time, it can also increase the residence time of the pomelo material in the water and improve the cleaning effect.
[0037] Reference Figures 5-6A perforated support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the outer arc plate 4. The bottom end of the perforated support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The perforated support plate 13 can support and limit the bottom surface of the outer arc plate 4, thereby improving the strength and service life of the outer arc plate 4. An inner support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the inner arc plate 5. The inner support plate 14 can support and limit the inside of the inner arc plate 5, thereby improving the strength of the inner arc plate 5. A rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the back of the circular plate 10. The rear end of the rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the rear inner wall surface of the cleaning tank 1. The movement of the circular plate 10 can be controlled by the rotating shaft 15. A support limit makes the movement of the circular plate 10 more stable. A slider 16 is fixedly connected to the back of the push plate 11. When the push plate 11 moves, it can drive the slider 16 to run synchronously. An annular groove 17 is opened on the inner wall surface of the rear side of the cleaning pool 1. The slider 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the annular groove 17. The path of the annular groove 17 is the same as the running path of the push plate 11. The slider 16 can rotate along its path inside the annular groove 17, which can further support and limit the movement of the push plate 11, improve the movement of the push plate 11, and reduce the risk of bending and deflection caused by the need to push the pomelo.
[0038] Working principle: The pomelo to be cleaned is placed above the feeding shell 7, allowing it to slide naturally down the inclined structure of the feeding shell 7 and enter the arc-shaped cleaning channel formed by the outer arc plate 4 and the inner arc plate 5. The motor 9 starts, driving the circular plate 10 and the ring array of push plates 11 to rotate at a low speed. This causes the push plates 11 located on the left side of the channel to push the pomelo along the arc-shaped path, making it completely immersed in the water of the cleaning tank 1. At the same time, the ultrasonic generator 2 starts, and high-frequency sound waves generate microbubbles in the water. The shock waves generated by the bursting of the bubbles peel off the dirt on the surface of the pomelo. After washing, the push plate 11 continues to move the pomelo along the arc-shaped channel. After leaving the water surface, it is suspended for a period of time, allowing the surface water to drip off naturally. Finally, the pomelo will reach the top right side of the outer arc plate 4 and be pushed to the discharge shell 8. It will slide out along its inclined surface into the collection container or subsequent processing equipment. During this process, since there are several push plates 11, pomelo materials can be continuously placed above the feeding shell 7. The arc-shaped cleaning channel can accommodate multiple sets of pomelo materials for cleaning. Feeding, washing, draining and discharging can be carried out simultaneously, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0039] After cleaning, the wastewater is discharged through the drain pipe 3 (controlled by a valve), and clean water can be injected for the next round of cleaning. When the push plate 11 rotates and pushes the material, the slider 16 and the annular groove 17 can guide and limit the movement of the push plate 11, making the movement of the push plate 11 more stable. At the same time, the hollow support plate 13, the inner support plate 14 and the rotating shaft 15 can also support and limit the inner arc plate 4, the outer arc plate 5 and the circular plate 10 respectively, improving the stability of the device during use.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
