Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural and sideline product processing equipment, specifically an agricultural and sideline product circulating cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning is a crucial step in ensuring product quality during the processing of agricultural and sideline products. Currently, some equipment exists on the market for cleaning agricultural and sideline products. This equipment typically achieves its cleaning function through water flow impact or agitation, but its structural design is often relatively simple, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and poor adaptability to agricultural products of different shapes and sizes. Furthermore, traditional cleaning equipment is inadequate in water resource utilization, making it difficult to achieve circulating cleaning, leading to significant resource waste.

[0003] For example, some existing cleaning devices typically include a cleaning tank, a transmission mechanism, and a spray assembly. The cleaning tank contains a conveyor belt for carrying agricultural products, the transmission mechanism is connected to the conveyor belt to drive its operation, and the spray assembly is installed above the cleaning tank to provide the cleaning water flow. However, in practical use, these devices require frequent changes of the cleaning water source, and the separation of impurities after cleaning is ineffective, affecting the overall cleaning quality. The above indicates that existing technologies still have room for improvement in terms of enhancing cleaning efficiency and conserving resources.

[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed a circulating cleaning machine for agricultural and sideline products. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problems of existing agricultural and sideline product cleaning equipment having a simple structural design, low cleaning efficiency, poor adaptability, and waste of water resources.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides an agricultural and sideline product recycling cleaning machine, comprising a main cleaning structure. The main cleaning structure includes a conveying component, a spraying component, and a filtration and recovery component. The spraying component is located above the conveying component, and the filtration and recovery component is located below the conveying component. The conveying component, spraying component, and filtration and recovery component work together to complete the cleaning of agricultural and sideline products and the recycling of water resources. Adjustable components are provided on both sides of the conveying component to adjust the height of the conveying component to accommodate agricultural and sideline products of different sizes.

[0007] The conveying assembly includes several rollers arranged in parallel. Each roller has flexible bristles on its outer surface. There is a gap between adjacent rollers. One end of each roller is connected to a drive motor via a transmission chain, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the main cleaning structure via a bearing seat. When the rollers rotate, the flexible bristles come into contact with the agricultural products and remove the attached substances through friction.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the spraying assembly includes multiple nozzles, which are evenly distributed above the conveying assembly. The nozzles are connected to a water pump through pipes, and the inlet of the pipes is connected to a filtration and recovery assembly. The water outlet direction of the nozzles is at a certain angle to the axis of the roller, so that the water flow can cover the surface of the agricultural products and wash away the attached impurities.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the filtration and recycling assembly includes a filter screen and a water collection tank. The filter screen is inclinedly disposed below the conveying assembly, and the water collection tank is located at the lowest end of the filter screen. The surface of the filter screen is provided with a number of raised structures, which are used to increase the filtration area and prevent impurities from clogging the filter. The bottom of the water collection tank is provided with a drain outlet, which is connected to the water inlet of the water pump through a pipeline.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the adjusting component includes a screw and a support plate. One end of the screw is threadedly connected to the support plate, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the main cleaning structure by a handwheel. The inner side of the support plate is provided with a sliding groove, which is slidably engaged with the bearing seats at both ends of the roller of the conveying assembly. By rotating the handwheel, the screw is driven to rotate, thereby adjusting the height of the conveying assembly.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the flexible bristles are made of elastic material, the roots of the flexible bristles are embedded in the surface of the roller and fixed by adhesive, and the tips of the flexible bristles are arc-shaped to reduce surface damage to agricultural products.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a vibration device is provided below the filter screen. The vibration device includes an eccentric wheel and a drive mechanism. The eccentric wheel is connected to the drive mechanism through a rotating shaft. The outer edge of the eccentric wheel contacts the bottom surface of the filter screen. When the drive mechanism is running, the eccentric wheel drives the filter screen to generate high-frequency vibration, thereby accelerating the separation of impurities.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the water collection tank is equipped with a float valve inside. The float part of the float valve is located above the water surface of the water collection tank, and the valve body part of the float valve is connected to the drain outlet. When the water level in the water collection tank reaches the set height, the float valve automatically opens to discharge the excess water.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] In the scheme of this application:

[0016] By incorporating a conveying assembly, a spraying assembly, and a filtration and recovery assembly, the agricultural products are cleaned by rotating rollers that bring flexible bristles into contact with the products. The bristles remove adhering substances through friction, while the spraying assembly provides water that covers the surface, further rinsing away any remaining impurities. The filtration and recovery assembly filters and recovers the water used for cleaning, reducing water waste. This structural design not only improves cleaning efficiency but also enhances the equipment's adaptability to agricultural products of different shapes and sizes, solving the problems of limited structural design, low cleaning efficiency, and water waste in existing cleaning equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, the height of the conveying assembly can be adjusted according to the size of the agricultural products through the design of the adjustable components, ensuring that the flexible bristles maintain appropriate contact pressure with the products and avoiding the impact of excessive or insufficient pressure on the cleaning effect. The combined use of the raised structure of the filter screen and the vibration device effectively prevents impurities from clogging the filter and improves filtration efficiency. The float valve in the water collection tank enables automatic water level control, further optimizing water resource utilization.

[0018] In summary, this utility model, through the combination of the above-mentioned technical means, provides a recycling washing machine for agricultural and sideline products that is structurally reasonable, easy to operate, and has a high resource utilization rate, demonstrating significant technological progress and practicality.

[0026] This utility model relates to a circulating washing machine for agricultural and sideline products, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a main cleaning structure 1, a conveying assembly 2, a spraying assembly 3, and a filtration and recovery assembly 4. The main cleaning structure 1 forms the frame of the entire equipment, used to fix and support other components. The conveying assembly 2 is located in the middle of the main cleaning structure 1, with the spraying assembly 3 mounted above it and the filtration and recovery assembly 4 positioned below. The conveying assembly 2 is height-adjustable via adjustable parts 10 on both sides to accommodate agricultural products of different sizes. The spraying assembly 3 is connected to a water pump 15 via pipes, while the filtration and recovery assembly 4 returns filtered water to the water pump 15 through pipes, thus achieving water resource recycling.

[0027] The specific structure of the conveying component 2 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the system consists of several parallel rollers 5, each with flexible bristles 6 on its outer surface. A gap is maintained between the rollers 5 to allow water to flow smoothly through after washing. One end of each roller 5 is connected to a drive motor 14 via a transmission chain, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the main cleaning structure 1 via a bearing seat. The flexible bristles 6 are made of elastic material, with their roots embedded in the surface of the roller 5 and fixed with adhesive, and their tips are arc-shaped. When the drive motor 14 starts, the rollers 5 begin to rotate, and the flexible bristles 6 rotate accordingly, contacting the agricultural products and removing the adhering substances through friction. The gap design between the rollers 5 allows water to wash away impurities from the surface of the agricultural products, which then fall into the filter and recovery assembly 4 below through the gaps.

[0028] The arrangement of spray assembly 3 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the assembly includes multiple nozzles 7 evenly distributed above the conveying component 2. The nozzles 7 are connected to the water pump 15 via pipes, and the inlet of the pipes is connected to the filter and recovery component 4. The water outlet direction of the nozzles 7 is at a certain angle to the axis of the drum 5 to ensure that the water flow can cover the surface of the agricultural products and wash away attached impurities. The design of the nozzles 7 allows the water flow to create a cross-rinsing effect as the drum 5 rotates, further improving cleaning efficiency. The number and distribution density of the nozzles 7 can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different cleaning scenarios.

[0029] The structure of the filter and recovery component 4 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the system includes a filter screen 8 and a water collection tank 9. The filter screen 8 is inclinedly positioned below the conveying assembly 2, and its surface has several raised structures to increase the filtration area and prevent impurities from clogging it. The water collection tank 9 is located at the lowest end of the filter screen 8 and is used to collect the filtered water. The bottom of the water collection tank 9 has a drain outlet, which is connected to the inlet of the water pump 15 via a pipe. A vibration device is also provided below the filter screen 8. This device consists of an eccentric wheel and a drive mechanism. The eccentric wheel is connected to the drive mechanism via a rotating shaft, and its outer edge contacts the bottom surface of the filter screen 8. When the drive mechanism is running, the eccentric wheel drives the filter screen 8 to generate high-frequency vibration, thereby accelerating the separation of impurities and preventing the filter screen 8 from clogging.

[0030] The specific structure of the adjusting element 10 is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the assembly includes a screw 11, a support plate 12, and a handwheel 13. One end of the screw 11 is threaded to the support plate 12, and the other end is fixed to the side wall of the main cleaning structure 1 via the handwheel 13. A slider is provided on the outer side of the support plate 12, and the slider slides into the bearing seats at both ends of the roller 5 of the conveying assembly 2. By rotating the handwheel 13 to drive the screw 11, the height of the support plate 12 can be adjusted, thereby changing the overall height of the conveying assembly 2. This design allows the conveying assembly 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the agricultural products, ensuring that the flexible bristles 6 maintain appropriate contact pressure with the agricultural products.

[0031] The water collection tank 9 is equipped with a float valve. The float of the float valve is positioned above the water surface in the water collection tank 9, and the valve body is connected to the drain outlet. When the water level in the water collection tank 9 reaches the set height, the float valve automatically opens to discharge excess water, thereby achieving automatic water level control. The design of the float valve avoids the problem of overflow in the water collection tank 9 due to excessively high water levels, while ensuring that the water pump 15 can continuously and stably supply water.

[0032] In actual operation, agricultural products are first placed on the rollers 5 of the conveying assembly 2. After the drive motor 14 starts, it drives the rollers 5 to rotate, and the flexible bristles 6 come into contact with the agricultural products and remove surface deposits. At the same time, the nozzles 7 of the spraying assembly 3 rinse the agricultural products with water supplied by the water pump 15. The water flow covers the surface of the agricultural products and washes impurities into the gaps between the rollers 5. These impurities then fall into the filter screen 8 below, and after preliminary filtration by the filter screen 8, they enter the water collection tank 9. The inclined design of the filter screen 8 and the use of the vibration device effectively prevent impurities from clogging and improve filtration efficiency. The water in the water collection tank 9 flows back to the water pump 15 through the drain outlet, forming a closed-loop recycling system.

[0033] Through the synergistic operation of the above structures, this invention achieves efficient cleaning of agricultural products and recycling of water resources during the washing process. The design of the adjusting component 10 allows the height of the conveying assembly 2 to be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the agricultural products, ensuring that the flexible bristles 6 maintain appropriate contact pressure with the products. The combination of the raised structure of the filter screen 8 and the vibration device effectively prevents impurities from clogging the filter and improves filtration efficiency. The float valve in the water collection tank 9 enables automatic water level control, further optimizing water resource utilization.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to fully understand and implement this utility model, the specific implementation principle of this utility model is further explained below in conjunction with a specific application scenario.

[0035] When cleaning root vegetables (such as potatoes) with a lot of dirt and sand on their surface, the potatoes to be cleaned are first placed on the roller 5 of the conveying assembly 2. By manually rotating the handwheel 13 of the adjusting component 10, the screw 11 rotates and drives the support plate 12 to move up and down along the slide groove, thereby adjusting the height of the roller 5 to ensure that the flexible bristles 6 maintain appropriate contact pressure with the potato surface. This height adjustment mechanism can accommodate potatoes of different sizes, avoiding damage to the potato surface due to excessive pressure or affecting the cleaning effect due to insufficient pressure.

[0036] Subsequently, the drive motor 14 is started, and the transmission chain drives the roller 5 to rotate. The flexible bristles 6 on the outer surface of the roller 5 then come into contact with the potato surface and remove the attached mud and sand through friction. At the same time, the water pump 15 in the spray assembly 3 starts working, and water is delivered through pipes to the nozzles 7 and sprayed onto the potato surface at a certain angle. The water outlet direction of the nozzles 7 is designed to be inclined with the axis of the roller 5, so that the water flow can form a cross-rinsing effect during the rotation of the roller 5, covering all areas of the potato surface, thereby effectively washing away residual impurities. The water flow carrying the mud and sand falls from the gaps between the rollers 5 into the filter and recovery assembly 4 below.

[0037] The filter screen 8 in the filtration and recovery assembly 4 is angled and has multiple raised structures on its surface. These raised structures not only increase the filtration area but also guide the water flow to be distributed more evenly, reducing the possibility of local clogging. Simultaneously, the vibration device below the filter screen 8 uses the high-frequency vibration of an eccentric wheel to cause the filter screen 8 to vibrate periodically, further accelerating the separation of impurities such as silt. The filtered clean water flows into the collection tank 9. The float valve inside the collection tank 9 automatically controls the opening and closing of the drain outlet according to water level changes. When the water level reaches the set height, the float valve opens, allowing excess water to drain out, ensuring a continuous and stable water supply from the water pump 15.

[0038] During the aforementioned operation, the elastic material properties of the flexible bristles 6 and their arc-shaped tip design ensure effective cleaning while minimizing mechanical damage to the potato surface. Furthermore, the gap design between the rollers 5 facilitates the flow of water and the falling of impurities, while also preventing the accumulation of mud and sand on the surface of the rollers 5, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. The number and distribution density of the nozzles 7 in the spray assembly 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs. For example, for potatoes with a lot of mud and sand, the number of nozzles 7 can be increased to enhance the rinsing force; while for relatively clean agricultural products, the number of nozzles 7 can be appropriately reduced to conserve water resources.

[0039] Through the aforementioned steps and the coordinated operation of each component, this invention achieves efficient cleaning of agricultural products such as potatoes. The flexible bristles 6, used in conjunction with the spray assembly 3, remove stubborn deposits through physical friction while simultaneously using water flow for a fine rinsing of the surface. The filter and recycling assembly 4 significantly reduces water waste by recycling the cleaning water, while also preventing clogging by impurities. The entire cleaning process is highly automated, easy to operate, and suitable for agricultural products of various shapes and sizes, demonstrating significant technological advancement and practicality.
