Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural product processing technology, specifically to a rotating spray head assembly for a lotus root washing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the agricultural product processing sector, lotus root, a popular ingredient, requires meticulous cleaning. Traditional lotus root cleaning methods rely heavily on manual labor, with workers using high-pressure water guns to rinse each lotus root individually at close range. This method is not only labor-intensive, often taking several minutes to clean a single lotus root, but also extremely inefficient, failing to meet the needs of large-scale lotus root processing enterprises. Furthermore, manual cleaning is limited by the angle and force applied by the worker, often leaving mud residue in the crevices and uneven surfaces of the lotus root, making it difficult to guarantee the quality of cleaning.

[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN202520259203.6), which describes "a rotating spray head". This utility model improves the rotating structure, simplifies its internal control structure, and allows the spray head to directly control its rotation speed via a high-pressure water source.

[0004] However, while existing technologies have improved the rotating structure and simplified its internal control, allowing the spray head's rotation speed to be directly controlled by a high-pressure water source, some shortcomings still exist. Some rotating spray heads, though used in other fields, are prone to clogging when directly applied to lotus root cleaning. Lotus roots have many impurities on their surface, and the small water outlets of conventional spray heads are easily clogged by mud, sand, and lotus root tendrils, significantly reducing the cleaning effect. Frequent spray head cleaning increases maintenance costs and downtime, affecting production progress. Furthermore, existing cleaning equipment has a simple water circulation system with poor wastewater purification and difficulty in recycling, further exacerbating water waste and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rotating spray head assembly for lotus root cleaning equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rotating spray head assembly for a lotus root cleaning device, comprising: a spray head assembly, which is arranged in multiple groups on the cleaning device; the spray head assembly includes: a quick-change head, which is threadedly connected to the cleaning device; a rotating base, which is rotatably connected to the quick-change head; a fixed bracket, which is fixedly connected in multiple groups on the rotating base; and a water spray nozzle assembly, which is arranged in multiple groups on the fixed bracket.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] The water nozzle assembly includes: multiple water outlets arranged on a fixed bracket; a fixed column that is fixedly connected inside the water outlet; a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the fixed column; and a turbine fan that is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The rotating shaft is equipped with multiple sets of cleaning plates for cleaning blockages at the water spray points.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The cleaning equipment includes: a main body, set on the ground; multiple sets of crossbeams fixedly connected to the main body; a water supply pipe, fixedly connected to the crossbeams and threadedly connected to a quick-change head; and a sewage outlet, located on the lower side of the main body, with a water circulation system installed on the lower side.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The water circulation system includes: a sewage storage tank, located below the sewage outlet, for storing and purifying sewage; an outlet pipe, located on the sewage storage tank; and a water pump, located on the main body, with one end fixedly connected to the outlet pipe and the other end fixedly connected to the water delivery pipe.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The main body includes: a conveyor shaft, which is fixedly connected to the main body in multiple groups; and a conveyor roller, which is rotatably connected to the conveyor shaft for rolling and conveying materials.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] A water purification system is fixedly connected inside the sewage storage tank.

[0019] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] Equipped with a conveyor shaft and conveyor rollers, the cleaning equipment can continuously transport lotus roots. Combined with a 360° rotating nozzle assembly at the top, it sprays water from multiple angles to cover the lotus root surface, eliminating the need for manual operation. Compared to traditional manual cleaning, this significantly improves efficiency and meets the needs of large-scale production. Inside the nozzle assembly, a turbine fan, driven by the water flow, rotates the shaft, and a cleaning plate on top rotates synchronously, scraping the inner wall of the outlet in real time. This effectively removes impurities such as mud, sand, and lotus root tendrils, preventing outlet blockage, reducing equipment maintenance frequency, and lowering downtime and repair costs. The rotating nozzle assembly sprays water, combined with the turbine-driven water flow, enhancing the scrubbing force on the lotus root surface and crevices, thoroughly removing silt and impurities. Wastewater flows through the wastewater outlet into a wastewater storage tank, where it undergoes sedimentation, filtration, and adsorption purification before being pumped back to the water supply pipe for recycling. This reduces water waste, lowers water costs for businesses, and meets environmental protection requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the rotating spray head assembly of the lotus root cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment includes: a spray head assembly 1, which is arranged in multiple groups on the cleaning equipment; the spray head assembly 1 includes: a quick-change head 14, which is threadedly connected to the cleaning equipment; a rotating base 11, which is rotatably connected to the quick-change head 14; a fixed bracket 12, which is fixedly connected in multiple groups to the rotating base 11; and a water spray nozzle assembly 13, which is arranged in multiple groups on the fixed bracket 12.

[0032] In this embodiment, the spray nozzle component and the turbine fan component constitute the rotary spray head assembly of a lotus root cleaning device according to this application.

[0033] It should also be noted that the water flow enters the rotating base 11 through the quick-change head 14, drives the rotating base 11 to rotate, and drives the fixed bracket 12 and the spray nozzle assembly 13 to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve multi-angle all-round water spray cleaning.

[0034] Specifically, the water nozzle assembly 13 includes: a water outlet 131, which is arranged in multiple groups on the fixed bracket 12; a fixed column 132, which is fixedly connected inside the water outlet 131; a rotating shaft 133, which is rotatably connected to the fixed column 132; and a turbine fan 134, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 133.

[0035] In this embodiment, the water flow impacts the blades of the turbofan 134, driving the rotating shaft 133 to rotate, causing the water flow to produce a rotating jet effect, enhancing the cleaning ability, and enabling the nozzles to clean themselves.

[0036] Specifically, multiple sets of cleaning plates 135 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 133 for cleaning blockages at the water spray point.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 133 drives the cleaning plate 135 to rotate synchronously, scraping the inner wall of the water outlet 131 to prevent mud and sand impurities from clogging the water outlet 131.

[0038] Specifically, the cleaning equipment includes: a main body 2, which is set on the ground; multiple sets of crossbeams 3, which are fixedly connected to the main body 2; a water supply pipe 4, which is fixedly connected to the crossbeams 3 and threadedly connected to the quick-change head 14; and a sewage outlet 5, which is set on the lower side of the main body 2, and a water circulation system is set on the lower side.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water supply pipe 4 delivers water to the nozzle assembly 1, which rotates and sprays water to clean the lotus root. The wastewater flows into the water circulation system through the wastewater outlet 5, thus realizing continuous cleaning of the lotus root and wastewater discharge.

[0040] Specifically, the water circulation system includes: a sewage storage tank 6, located below the sewage outlet 5, for storing and purifying sewage; an outlet pipe 9, located on the sewage storage tank 6; and a water pump 10, located on the main body 2, with one end fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 9 and the other end fixedly connected to the water supply pipe 4.

[0041] With this setup, wastewater enters the wastewater storage tank 6, undergoes sedimentation and filtration, and is then pumped by the water pump 10 and transported back to the water supply pipe 4 for recycling, thus realizing the recycling of water resources and saving costs.

[0042] Specifically, the main body 2 includes: a conveyor shaft 7, which is fixedly connected to the main body 2 in multiple groups; and a conveyor roller 8, which is rotatably connected to the conveyor shaft 7 and is used for rolling and conveying materials.

[0043] Among them, the conveyor roller 8 rotates around the conveyor shaft 7, conveying lotus roots through the cleaning area to realize the automated conveying and cleaning of lotus roots.

[0044] Specifically, the wastewater storage tank 6 is equipped with a water purification system.

[0045] In this embodiment, wastewater flows sequentially through each chamber, undergoes sedimentation through partitions, is filtered by a filter screen to remove impurities, and then is adsorbed by activated carbon to remove odors and organic matter, thus purifying the wastewater and meeting the requirements for recycling.

[0046] In actual use, the operating principle is as follows: First, the operator inputs water into the water supply pipe 4. The water flows through the water supply pipe 4 into the nozzle assembly 1, and then through the fixed bracket 12 to spray out from the spray nozzle assembly 13. Because the spray nozzle assembly 13 is tilted at a 45-degree angle, the reaction force of the water flow drives the fixed bracket 12 and the rotating base 11 to rotate, achieving a rotating spray effect. When the water flows out from the outlet 131, the flowing water causes the turbine fan 134 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 133 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 133 drives the cleaning plate 135 to rotate, thus cleaning the interior. The design incorporates a threaded quick-change head 14 at the connection between the water supply pipe 4 and the nozzle assembly 1, allowing for easy and rapid replacement. The operator places the lotus root into the feed end of the main body 2, where it rolls forward under the rotation of the conveyor roller 8 driven by the conveyor shaft 7. After being rinsed by the water sprayed from the nozzle assembly 1, the lotus root finally reaches the discharge trough of the main body 2. The cleaned wastewater enters the wastewater storage tank 6 through the wastewater outlet 5 for storage and purification. The purified water is then pumped from the wastewater storage tank 6 through the outlet pipe 9 into the water supply pipe 4 via the water pump 10, thus achieving water resource recycling.

[0047] 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.
