[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a pepper cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] After harvesting, Sichuan peppercorns need to undergo processes such as washing, blanching, and drying. In existing technologies, large quantities of Sichuan peppercorns are usually washed using bubble washing machines. However, after washing, during the process of conveying the peppercorns, the peppercorns that fall off the peppercorn bushes tend to adhere to the conveyor belt under the action of water tension. When the conveyor belt moves to the end, the peppercorns cannot overcome the water tension under the action of gravity and fall off the conveyor belt onto the conveyor channel to be conveyed to the next process. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a pepper washing device, which solves the problem in the prior art where some peppers and pepper bushes fall off and become individual pepper grains during the conveying process after pepper washing. These pepper grains tend to stick to the conveyor belt due to the surface tension of water, and direct rinsing with water is not conducive to collection.

[0004] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A pepper cleaning device includes a cleaning device and a conveying device. A cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the conveying device. The cleaning component is arranged to fit the material belt of the conveying device. The cleaning component includes a cleaning roller that fits the material belt.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0032] To better understand the purpose, function, and specific design scheme of this utility model, the fully automatic opening and pressing machine of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a pepper cleaning device 1 includes a cleaning device 1 and a conveying device 3. The cleaning device 1 is used to clean the peppers, and the conveying device 3 is used to drain the water from the cleaned peppers and convey them to the next process. A cleaning component is provided on the lower side of the end of the conveying device 3. The cleaning component is set in contact with the material belt 10 of the conveying device 3. The cleaning component includes a cleaning roller that is in contact with the material belt 10. The rotation direction of the cleaning roller is opposite to that of the lower material belt 10 of the conveying device 3. It is used to clean the lower material belt 10 and remove some adhering single pepper particles and send them into the material channel 9.

[0034] In the above embodiment, all the peppercorns to be cleaned are first placed into the cleaning device 1. The cleaning device 1 generates bubbles to clean the peppercorns. During the cleaning process, the conveying device 3 continues to operate. Some of the cleaned peppercorns are carried upward by the conveying device 3. When the peppercorns leave the cleaning device 1, the water on the peppercorns will separate under the action of gravity, thus playing a role in draining water. Most of the peppercorns fall into the material channel 9 below the end of the conveying device 3 under the action of gravity, and finally slide into the next process (steam blanching). Some peppercorns will also stick to the conveying device 3 due to the water. The peppercorns sticking to the conveying device 3 will be swept by the cleaning roller located on the lower side of the conveying device 3, and finally all of them will fall into the material channel 9 and slide into the next process.

[0035] In some possible implementations, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating frame 14, a mounting shaft 23, and a guide wheel 21. The mounting shaft 23 and the guide wheel 21 are rotatably mounted on one side of the rotating frame 14, and the other side is rotatably connected to the frame of the conveying device 3. An elastic element 22 is provided on the side of the rotating frame 14 near the mounting shaft 23. The other end of the elastic element 22 is fixedly connected to the conveying device 3 so that the guide wheel 21 is always pressed on the material belt 10. A cleaning roller is mounted on the mounting shaft 23.

[0036] In some possible implementations, such as Figures 2-3 As shown, the conveying device 3 includes a conveyor belt 10 with drainage holes 8. A vertical plate 11 perpendicular to the conveyor belt 10 is mounted on the conveyor belt 10. A guide plate 13 is mounted on one side of the vertical plate 11 in the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 10. The guide plate 13 cooperates with the guide wheel 21 to ensure that the cleaning roller avoids contact with the vertical plate 11. The drainage holes 8 allow drained water to flow back into the cleaning device 1. The vertical plate 11 positions the peppercorns in the cleaning device 1 on the conveyor belt 10 to prevent them from slipping back into the cleaning device 1. It also guides the cleaning roller to fit tightly against the conveyor belt 10, thereby cleaning the conveyor belt 10 through the rotation of the cleaning roller. Furthermore, it cooperates with the guide plate 13 to guide the cleaning roller, ensuring that the cleaning roller fits snugly against the conveying device 3.

[0037] During the continuous conveying process of the aforementioned conveying device 3, the peppercorns located in the washing device 1 will gradually approach the conveying device 3. When the peppercorn clusters come into contact with the upright plate 11, they will be carried away from the washing device 1 by the force of the upright plate 11 and the conveyor belt 10. After being carried away, the water on the peppercorn clusters will separate and drip onto the conveyor belt 10 under the action of gravity, and finally drip from the drain hole 8. The size of the drain hole 8 is smaller than the size of the peppercorns, so that the water can be drained while preventing the peppercorns from getting stuck in the conveyor belt 10. When the peppercorns are conveyed to the tail end of the conveying device 3, they will be carried away by gravity. The material falls into the lower channel 9. The conveying device 3 continues to rotate. A cleaning roller is provided on the lower side of the tail end of the conveying device 3. The cleaning roller is close to the lower side of the material belt 10 and cleans the lower side of the material belt 10. When the cleaning roller moves to the guide plate 13, the guide wheel 21 will move upward along the guide plate 13, so that the cleaning roller moves upward together and passes over the vertical plate 11. It will be guided by the guide plate 13 so that the cleaning roller does not collide directly with the vertical plate 11, but transitions smoothly, and can clean both the material belt 10 and the vertical plate 11 at the same time.

[0038] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 4-5As shown, the elastic element 22 is a spring, and an ear plate is installed on the frame of the conveying device 3. The ear plate is located directly above the rotating frame 14 on the side near the cleaning roller. The lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 14 to apply a force toward the material belt 10 to the rotating frame 14.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor belt 10 is equipped with a drive shaft driven by a motor 4. A first drive wheel 15 is mounted on the drive shaft. The rotating frame 14 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft 18 via a bearing 17. The driven shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the frame of the conveying device 3. A second drive wheel 19 is mounted on the driven shaft 18. A second driven wheel 20 is mounted on the mounting shaft 23. The second drive wheel 19 and the second driven wheel 20 are connected in a transmission manner.

[0040] When the motor 4 is powered on, it drives the drive shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 10 to rotate and transport the peppercorns. The drive shaft drives the first drive wheel 15 to rotate, which in turn drives the first driven wheel 16 to rotate. The first driven wheel 16 drives the driven shaft 18 to rotate. Since the rotating frame 14 is rotatably connected to the driven shaft 18, the rotation of the driven shaft 18 will not drive the rotating frame 14 to rotate. The rotation of the driven shaft 18 will drive the second drive wheel 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the second driven wheel 20 to rotate. The rotation of the second driven wheel 20 will drive the mounting shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the cleaning roller to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 10.

[0041] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first drive wheel 15 and the first driven wheel 16 are both pulleys or sprockets, and the first drive wheel 15 and the first driven wheel 16 are connected by a belt or chain drive; the second drive wheel 19 and the second driven wheel 20 are pulleys or sprockets, and the second drive wheel 19 and the second driven wheel 20 are connected by a belt or chain drive.

[0042] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, a strip groove 24 is provided along the length direction on the mounting shaft 23. Multiple rings 26 are sleeved on the mounting shaft 23. The inner side of the rings 26 is provided with a boss that cooperates with the strip groove 24. The outer side of the rings 26 is provided with bristles 27. Fixing rings 25 are also sleeved at both ends of the mounting shaft 23. The fixing rings 25 are fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 23 by bolts to position the rings 26. When the bristles 27 are worn, the mounting shaft 23 can be disassembled first. The fixing rings 25 and multiple rings 26 form a cleaning roller. Then, the fixing rings 25 at both ends are disassembled, and the rings 26 are removed one by one and replaced.

[0043] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the upright plate 11 has two guide plates 13 on the side facing the cleaning roller.

[0044] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor device 3 is also equipped with sealing structures on both sides of the frame to make the side plates on both sides of the frame and the material belt 10 form a smooth transition, avoid the presence of sanitary dead corners, and prevent peppercorns from getting stuck.

[0045] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upright plate 11 is provided with an inclined sealing plate 12 on the side opposite to the conveying direction of the material belt 10.

[0046] The inclined sealing plate 12 is used to avoid forming dead corners and can guide the cleaning roller, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the peppercorns on the sealing plate 12 by the cleaning roller.

[0047] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 13 is provided with a concave arc surface for guiding the cleaning roller, and the concave arc surface enables the cleaning roller to clean the angle between the upright plate 11 and the material belt 10.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the cleaning device 1 includes a frame, a water tank mounted on the frame, and an air bubble system and a spray system installed on the side of the water tank; the conveying device 3 is inclined and one end extends into the water tank, and the water tank is also provided with a drain outlet 6. The air bubble system cleans the peppercorns from the bottom, the spray system cleans the peppercorns from the top, and the drain outlet 6 can be used to drain and clean the cleaning device 1.

[0049] In some possible implementations, the bubble system includes a bubble generator 5 and a bubble tube. One end of the bubble generator 5 is connected to the outside air, and the other end is connected to the bubble tube at the bottom of the water tank. It should be noted that the bubble generator 5 is a blower, a vortex blower, or an oil-free screw air compressor, etc. The bubble tube includes an air outlet pipe located on the lower side inside the water tank and an air supply pipe located outside the water tank. The lower side inside the water tank can be arranged in a coil shape to ensure uniform supply of bubbles, and air holes are provided on the air outlet pipe for air outlet. The bubble generator 5 and the power supply are conventional settings in the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0050] In some possible implementations, the spraying system includes a water pump 7, one end of which is connected to the lower part of the water tank and the other end of which is connected to the spray pipe 2 at the upper part of the water tank, for spraying and rinsing the peppercorns.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the water pump 7 and the power supply are conventional settings in the prior art, so they will not be described in detail. When the water pump 7 is powered, the water pump 7 draws water from the lower part of the water tank through the water pumping pipe at the bottom of the water tank and supplies it to the spray pipe 2 at the top of the water tank. The spray pipe 2 is connected to multiple nozzles facing downwards. The nozzles spray water onto the upper side of the water tank, thereby spraying and rinsing the peppercorns.

[0052] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
