Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bamboo shoot cleaning technology, specifically a device for cleaning fresh small-diameter bamboo shoots. Background Technology

[0002] Bamboo shoots are the young sprouts of bamboo, also known as shoots. Bamboo belongs to the perennial evergreen grass family. The edible part is the newly sprouted, tender, plump, and short shoot. Bamboo shoots are usually covered with layers of outer shells, which not only protect them from frost damage but also help them push up the soil as they emerge, isolating them from the soil. As the market demand for bamboo shoots increases, people especially favor the tips of small-diameter bamboo shoots. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually peel off the outer shells of bamboo shoots, keeping only the tips of small-diameter bamboo shoots.

[0003] Currently, to mass-produce small-diameter bamboo shoot tips, manufacturers typically clean and select the tips before packaging them in cans. However, during the cleaning process, due to the unique shape of bamboo shoots and the presence of a significant amount of dirt and impurities on their surface, especially for small-diameter bamboo shoots, the layered structure of the husks makes it easy for dirt to accumulate in the crevices. During cleaning, the small-diameter bamboo shoot tips are conveyed via a conveyor belt to a cleaning chamber equipped with ultrasonic generators. Ultrasonic waves are used to clean the dirt from the outside of the shoots. However, some bamboo shoots tend to pile up inside the ultrasonic cleaning chamber, resulting in incomplete cleaning of certain areas. Therefore, we have designed a fresh small-diameter bamboo shoot cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0016] 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.

[0017] This invention provides a device for cleaning fresh small-diameter bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are the young buds of bamboo, also known as shoots. Bamboo belongs to the perennial evergreen grass order, and its edible part is the newly sprouted, plump, and short bud. Bamboo shoots are usually covered with layers of outer shells, which not only protect them from frost damage but also help them push up the soil during emergence, isolating them from the soil. With the increasing market demand for bamboo shoots, people especially favor the tips of small-diameter bamboo shoots. Therefore, it is necessary to gradually peel off the outer shells, retaining only the tips of the small-diameter shoots. Currently, for mass production of small-diameter bamboo shoot tips, manufacturers usually clean and select the tips before packaging them in cans. However, during the cleaning process, due to the special shape of bamboo shoots and the presence of a lot of mud and impurities on their surface, especially for small-diameter bamboo shoots, the layered structure of the outer shell makes it difficult to clean them properly. Soil tends to hide in the crevices of the bamboo shoots. During cleaning, the tips of the small-diameter bamboo shoots are transported to the cleaning tank 1 equipped with an ultrasonic generator via a conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 is driven by a drive motor. During this process, ultrasonic waves emitted by the ultrasonic generator cause high-frequency vibration of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1, generating cavitation bubbles. The main principle is that the ultrasonic generator 2 converts electrical energy into high-frequency electrical signals, which drive the transducer to generate mechanical vibrations. These vibrations are transmitted to the cleaning liquid (such as water or a special cleaning agent) in the cleaning tank 1, forming alternating dense and sparse sound pressure waves. In the negative pressure zone, the liquid is stretched to form micron-sized vacuum bubbles (cavitation nuclei), while in the positive pressure zone, the bubbles collapse violently, thereby vibrating and cleaning the soil on the outside of the small-diameter bamboo shoots.

[0018] Example: Reference Figures 1-5The cleaning tank 1 is set up in the production workshop, and a support frame 101 is installed on the cleaning tank 1. The axis of the support frame 101 is parallel to the axis L and is used to support the frame used by the staff to carry bamboo shoots. The height of the support frame 101 can be adjusted according to actual needs to accommodate different sizes of carrying frames. The surface of the support frame 101 is provided with anti-slip texture to increase the friction between it and the carrying frame and prevent the carrying frame from slipping during the cleaning process. A drain pipe 102 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1 for replacing the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank 1 and keeping the production workshop and the inside of the cleaning tank 1 clean. The water collection tank on the ground is connected to the drain pipe 102 on the cleaning tank 1, so that the collected cleaning solution can be treated and returned to the cleaning tank 1 for recycling, saving resources.

[0019] Specifically, to prevent some bamboo shoots from piling up inside the ultrasonic cleaning box 1, resulting in incomplete cleaning of certain areas, two sets of fixed boxes 4 are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the cleaning box 1. A buffer cavity is formed between the fixed boxes 4 and the cleaning box 1. When the movable plate 6 slides on the through groove 5, and its sliding direction is parallel to the axis L of the fixed box 4, the bottom of the movable plate 6 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3. The vertical plate 8 is set on the top of the movable plate 6 and is located inside the cavity of the cleaning box 1, so it will not affect the through groove 5. When the movable plate 6 moves back and forth along the axis L, it can drive the vertical plate 8 to move synchronously. During operation, the movable plate 6 will block the two sets of through grooves 5 to prevent bamboo shoots from entering the fixed box 4.

[0020] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 As shown, a friction surface can be provided on the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to increase the friction between the bamboo shoots and the conveyor belt 3, preventing the bamboo shoots from slipping during the conveying process. The middle position of the cleaning box 1 is the main ultrasonic cleaning area, and the movable plate 6 is also located in this cleaning area. When the movable plate 6 moves back and forth, the vertical plate 8 can be used to move the bamboo shoots in this area, so that the bamboo shoots stacked together can be dispersed. In addition, the vertical plate 8 is designed with a certain degree of elasticity, such as rubber or silicone material, which can produce slight deformation when in contact with the bamboo shoots, thereby avoiding damage to the bamboo shoots. This design not only improves the cleaning efficiency but also ensures the integrity of the bamboo shoots, providing convenience for subsequent processing and handling.

[0021] Specifically, the conveyor belt 3 is arc-shaped, which ensures that all bamboo shoots pass through the ultrasonic cleaning area, allowing each part of the bamboo shoot to be thoroughly cleaned. To improve the cleaning effect, the power and time of the ultrasonic generator 2 can be adjusted according to actual needs to achieve the best cleaning effect. The speed of the conveyor belt 3 can also be controlled by a speed regulating device to adapt to the cleaning needs of bamboo shoots of different sizes. During this process, the movable plate 6 will also limit the position of the conveyor belt 3.

[0022] It needs to be explained that, referring to Figure 5 The edge of the movable plate 6 is pointed, so that its end can abut against the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to form a guide surface, thereby allowing the bamboo shoots on the conveyor belt 3 to move smoothly along the guide surface and preventing the bamboo shoots from getting stuck between the movable plate 6 and the conveyor belt 3.

[0023] Furthermore, a through hole 401 is provided on the fixed box 4, and a connecting rod 601 is provided at the end of the movable plate 6. The connecting rod 601 is slidably connected to the through hole 401. A connecting plate 7 is also provided at the end of the connecting rod 601 for connecting the telescopic component in the factory and for driving the movable plate 6 to move to the specified position. The telescopic component can be a common driving device such as a cylinder or an electric push rod. Through the tight cooperation between the connecting plate 7 and the connecting rod 601, the movable plate 6 can be stably pushed to reciprocate on the fixed box 4.

[0024] This design is not only compact but also easy to maintain, greatly improving the stability and durability of the entire cleaning device. Furthermore, the location and size of the through-hole 401 are matched to the diameter of the connecting rod 601, ensuring that the connecting rod 601 can slide smoothly within it. This guarantees flexibility of movement while avoiding wear caused by friction. Additionally, a sealing sleeve connects the connecting rod 601 and the through-hole 401 to prevent leakage.

[0025] Components not described in detail in this article are existing technologies.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
