Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of carrot processing technology, specifically a cleaning device for carrot processing. Background Technology

[0002] Carrots, as a common root vegetable, are prone to accumulating dirt, sand, and fine impurities, requiring thorough washing before processing. Existing carrot washing equipment suffers from significant design flaws in the discharge stage. Washed carrots tend to accumulate at the bottom of the device, often requiring manual pushing to discharge. This not only increases the workload for operators but also disrupts the entire washing process due to discharge interruptions, severely impacting processing efficiency. Furthermore, the existing equipment employs an inefficient water utilization model, discharging washing water directly after a single use. This results in substantial water waste and increases subsequent wastewater treatment costs due to the presence of sediment and impurities, contradicting the energy-saving and environmentally friendly principles advocated by modern processing industries.

[0015] The rollers of spiral rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 are all connected to the rotating parts of the housing 1 by waterproof bearings.

[0016] The working principle of this utility model is based on the coordinated operation of power linkage transmission, spiral friction cleaning, and water circulation filtration. Motor 8 serves as the core power source, and its output shaft directly drives the rotation of the spiral roller brush 2. Simultaneously, a multi-stage transmission chain is formed through gear meshing: the roller of spiral roller brush 2 drives gear 9 to rotate synchronously; gear 9 meshes with gear 10 and the lower gear of double gear 11, respectively, to achieve power distribution; gear 10 drives spiral roller brush 5 to rotate, and the upper gear of double gear 11 meshes with gear 12, thereby driving the spiral roller brush... Gear 2 rotates; Gear 3 (12) simultaneously meshes with Gear 4 (13), ultimately driving the spiral brush 3 (4) to rotate. Through the precise design of the gear transmission ratio, the four spiral brushes form opposite and staggered rotation directions (e.g., spiral brush 1 rotates in the opposite direction to spiral brush 4, and spiral brush 2 rotates in the opposite direction to spiral brush 3). The bristles of the spiral brushes can all be made of nylon, with a diameter of 0.3mm and a Shore 65D hardness. This choice of material and parameters can effectively remove dirt and other impurities from the surface of carrots while avoiding damage to the carrot skin, providing multi-directional friction for the carrots and avoiding... No need to clean dead corners; after the carrot is put into the feed port at the top of the shell 1, it falls into the spiral groove of the spiral roller brush 3 4 under the action of gravity. Since the gap between the spiral roller brush 2 3, spiral roller brush 3 4, and spiral roller brush 4 5 is designed according to the minimum diameter of the carrot (usually 3-5cm), the material is confined within the "conveying channel" formed by the roller brush group, avoiding jamming or falling (spiral roller brush 1 2 is mainly used for shielding and protection to prevent the carrot from jumping out during the conveying process; spiral roller brush 2 3, spiral roller brush 3 4, and spiral roller brush 4 5 surround and form a conveying channel, simultaneously realizing the cleaning of the carrot). The washing and axial conveying of the carrots (the rotation of four spiral rollers generates a triple cleaning force: mechanical friction removes dirt and other impurities through the relative movement of the spiral bristles and the surface of the carrots; the spiral thrust moves the carrots axially toward the discharge port through the rotation of the spiral structure, achieving continuous cleaning; and the water flow impact is achieved by the water pump 18 pressurizing the water in the storage tank 14, sending it through the outlet pipe 19 into the diversion pipe 20, and then through multiple nozzles 21 (obliquely aligned with the gap of the roller brush group; the water pressure range of the nozzles 21 can be set between 0.2-0.3MPa, and the flow rate of a single nozzle is 1).With a flow rate of 5-2 L / min, multiple nozzles 21 work together to create a suitable water flow impact, enhancing the cleaning effect. This washes away impurities stirred up by the brush bristles while simultaneously wetting the carrot surface to enhance friction. Wastewater carrying impurities falls through the opening at the lower end of the housing 1 into a screen 16 above the water storage tank 14. The screen 16 has a mesh size (preferably 100-150 mesh) to filter out mud and impurities. The filtered clean water flows back to the water storage tank 14 and is repressurized by the water pump 18 before entering the nozzles 21, achieving water resource recycling and improving water-saving efficiency. The screen 16 is hooked to the water storage tank 14 via mounting holes 17 on the flexible frame. When impurities accumulate and affect filtration efficiency, the screen 16 can be directly lifted upwards. 6. Disassembly and cleaning are performed. Reinstallation simply requires aligning the hook 15 with the mounting hole 17, allowing for single-person operation. The waterproof bearing at the connection between the roller and housing 1 ensures flexible rotation of the roller brush while preventing sewage from seeping into the drive chamber 7. The inspection door of the drive chamber 7 facilitates quick maintenance of the gear transmission system, preventing power transmission from being affected by oil or debris. The spiral helix angle of the spiral roller brush (preferably 15°-20°) ensures that the carrots move smoothly at a speed of 0.5-1m / min during the washing process, with the washing time controlled at 30-60 seconds, balancing cleanliness and efficiency. Through these mechanisms, the device achieves continuous and automated carrot washing, suitable for the pre-processing stage in food processing plants.
