Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a food raw material cleaning equipment with rinsing function. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, cleaning food raw materials is a crucial step in ensuring food hygiene and safety and product quality. Whether it is agricultural products such as vegetables, fruits, and grains, or fresh ingredients such as meat and seafood, their surfaces are often contaminated with dirt, impurities, pesticide residues, microorganisms, and other pollutants. If cleaning is not thorough, it will not only affect the taste and quality of the food, but may also pose a potential threat to consumers' health.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of food ingredient cleaning equipment on the market, most of which operate on the basis of spraying, soaking, and stirring. These devices can remove most visible contaminants from the surface of raw materials to a certain extent. However, after the initial cleaning, existing equipment may still leave residual wastewater, detergent residue, or small impurities that haven't completely detached from the raw materials. Because there is no rinsing process, these residues cannot be effectively removed and must enter subsequent processing steps along with the raw materials. Residual chemicals may alter the flavor of the food and even fail to meet food safety standards. For grain-based raw materials, residual sand particles after cleaning can affect the fineness of the finished product.

[0004] Therefore, a food raw material cleaning device with rinsing function is proposed, which has the advantage of cyclic rinsing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background technology. Utility Model Content

The side wall of the filter unit 15 is provided with a water guide nozzle 16 that communicates with the cleaning tank 1. An annular pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the top inner side of the cleaning tank 1, and a rinsing nozzle 23 is installed on the bottom side of the annular pipe 11 corresponding to the cleaning tank 4. The side of the annular pipe 11 is connected to a dual water supply pipeline 9, and one branch of the dual water supply pipeline 9 is connected to the circulating water tank 8. A booster pump 10 and a one-way valve are installed on the surface of one branch of the dual water supply pipeline 9. A partition 2 is welded and installed inside the cleaning tank 1. The partition 2 cleverly divides the internal space of the cleaning tank 1 into two areas: the upper part is the cleaning area, and the lower part is used to install the drive components and accommodate some auxiliary structures. This partition design makes the equipment structure more compact and the functions of each part do not interfere with each other. A drive shaft 5 is mounted on the surface of partition 2 via a sealed bearing. The sealed bearing ensures the drive shaft 5 can rotate freely while effectively preventing water from the upper cleaning area from seeping into the lower space, providing a good seal. A cleaning tank 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the drive shaft 5. The cleaning tank 4 is a container for directly holding food raw materials for cleaning and rinsing. Its shape and size are set according to cleaning requirements to ensure that the raw materials are thoroughly cleaned. A servo motor 6 is installed below partition 2 and connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The servo motor 6 serves as the power source for the equipment, providing stable power output for the rotation of the cleaning tank 4. It has an adjustable speed, which can be flexibly adjusted according to the cleaning requirements of different raw materials. A ring filter 22 is detachably installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 4. The ring filter 22 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, and its mesh size is precisely designed to allow wastewater and impurities generated during cleaning and rinsing to pass smoothly through the filter and be discharged from the cleaning tank 4, while effectively preventing food raw materials from falling. The detachable design facilitates the cleaning and replacement of the filter screen, ensuring the durability of the filtration effect. Several rubber pillars 14 are interference-fitted to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 4. The rubber pillars 14 are made of highly elastic rubber material, and the interference fit ensures their stable installation on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 4.During the rotation of the cleaning tank 4, the rubber column 14 can stir and agitate the raw materials, ensuring full contact between the raw materials and the cleaning water, thus improving the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the soft rubber material prevents mechanical damage to the raw materials. A circulating water tank 8 is fixed to the lower surface of the cleaning tank 1. The circulating water tank 8 stores some of the wastewater generated during the cleaning and rinsing process. After treatment, it can be reused for cleaning, achieving water resource recycling and saving water consumption. A filter unit 15 is connected to the top edge of the circulating water tank 8. The filter unit 15 filters the wastewater entering the circulating water tank 8, removing impurities, silt, and other pollutants, ensuring the cleanliness of the circulating water and preventing impurities from re-contaminating the raw materials. A rinsing nozzle 23 is installed on the bottom surface of the annular pipe 11 corresponding to the cleaning tank 4. The rinsing nozzle 23 sprays water from the annular pipe 11 onto the raw materials in the cleaning tank 4 at a certain pressure and angle, achieving rinsing and washing of the raw materials. The side of the annular pipe 11 is connected to a dual water supply pipe 9, which provides two water sources for the annular pipe 11, increasing the water supply flexibility of the equipment. One branch of the dual water supply pipe 9 is connected to the circulating water tank 8, allowing the filtered circulating water to be reused. A booster pump 10 and a one-way valve are installed on the surface of this branch pipe. The booster pump 10 can increase the water pressure of the circulating water to ensure the rinsing effect of the flushing nozzle 23, while the one-way valve can prevent backflow and avoid contamination of the circulating water. The servo motor 6 and the booster pump 10 are controlled automatically by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be easily programmed by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The filter unit 15 is equipped with a filter cover 17, and the top of the filter cover 17 is provided with a hand-rotating part 19 connected to the top surface of the filter unit 15. The bottom of the hand-rotating part 19 is provided with a threaded part 20 that is threaded to the cavity of the filter unit 15. The lower side of the filter cover 17 is provided with a connecting hole 18 corresponding to the water guide nozzle 16. The filter cover 17 is the core filter component of the filter unit 15. It is provided with a multi-layer filter structure, which can deeply filter wastewater and effectively remove fine impurities, suspended solids and other pollutants in the water, ensuring that the water quality entering the circulating water tank 8 meets the cleaning requirements. The hand-rotating part 19 allows the operator to manually rotate the filter cover 17, which is convenient for installation and removal of the filter cover 17, and provides convenience for cleaning and replacement of the filter cover 17. The bottom of the hand-twisting part 19 is provided with a threaded part 20 that is threaded to the cavity of the filter unit 15. The threaded connection ensures a tight connection between the filter cover 17 and the filter unit 15, guaranteeing the airtightness of the filtration process and preventing unfiltered wastewater from directly entering the circulating water tank 8. It also facilitates quick disassembly and assembly. The lower side of the filter cover 17 is provided with a connecting hole 18 corresponding to the water guide nozzle 16. The position of the connecting hole 18 is aligned with the water guide nozzle 16, ensuring that the wastewater flowing from the water guide nozzle 16 into the filter unit 15 can smoothly enter the filter cover 17 for filtration, thus ensuring the smooth operation of the filtration process.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1 Another branch of the dual water supply pipeline 9 is connected to the municipal water supply network, and a manual valve is installed on its surface. This design provides the equipment with an additional clean water source. When the circulating water is insufficient, the water quality does not meet requirements, or during the initial cleaning, municipal water can be used directly to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The manual valve allows operators to easily control the on / off state and flow rate of the municipal water supply, flexibly adjusting it according to actual cleaning needs, ensuring cleaning effectiveness while avoiding water waste.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The side of the rubber column 14 is integrally formed with several columnar protrusions 21, and the end of the rubber column 14 facing the inner wall of the washing tank 4 is integrally formed with a connecting part. The columnar protrusions 21 increase the contact area and friction between the rubber column 14 and the food raw materials. During the rotation of the washing tank 4, the raw materials can be stirred and rubbed more effectively, enhancing the cleaning effect. Especially for raw materials with stubborn impurities on the surface, the cleaning is more thorough. The integrally formed connecting part makes the connection between the rubber column 14 and the inner wall of the washing tank 4 more firm and reliable, preventing the rubber column 14 from falling off due to stress during long-term use, and ensuring the stability and service life of the equipment.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 2The hand-operated part 19 consists of a disc with a sealing rubber ring and a handle welded to its top. After the filter cover 17 is installed, the disc with the sealing rubber ring can fit tightly against the top surface of the filter unit 15, further enhancing the sealing performance of the filter unit 15, preventing wastewater from leaking from gaps, and ensuring that all wastewater is filtered. The handle welded to the top provides the operator with a convenient point of force, making it easier and less strenuous to rotate the hand-operated part 19, improving the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the filter cover 17, and facilitating daily maintenance and upkeep.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 Multiple rinsing nozzles 23 are provided, and all of them are inclined about the annular pipe 11. The water outlet sections of the multiple rinsing nozzles 23 are all set towards the opening on the top surface of the cleaning tank 4. The distribution of the multiple rinsing nozzles 23 is reasonably designed so that the raw materials in the cleaning tank 4 can be rinsed and washed in all directions without dead angles, ensuring that every raw material can be thoroughly cleaned, and improving the uniformity and thoroughness of cleaning and rinsing.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The lower surface of the circulating water tank 8 is equipped with a drain nozzle, and the bottom of the filter cover 17 is equipped with a circular filter screen. The drain nozzle is used to discharge the wastewater, dirt, etc. stored in the circulating water tank 8 in a timely manner. When the water quality in the circulating water tank 8 deteriorates after multiple cycles, or when the circulating water tank 8 needs to be cleaned, the water can be easily drained through the drain nozzle to ensure the cleanliness of the circulating water tank 8. The circular filter screen is one of the main filtration structures of the filter cover 17. It is made of high-density filter screen material, which can effectively intercept larger particulate impurities in the wastewater, such as silt, raw material debris, etc., providing a basis for subsequent deep filtration. At the same time, the circular structure makes the filter screen have a larger filtration area, ensuring filtration efficiency.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 The inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with an annular guide rail 12. The top end of the cleaning tub 4 is welded with an annular edge 13 corresponding to the annular guide rail 12. The annular guide rail 12 provides stable support and guidance for the rotation of the cleaning tub 4, ensuring that the cleaning tub 4 remains stable during rotation and avoiding shaking or deviation.

[0026] Working principle: In use, the food ingredients to be cleaned are first placed into the cleaning tank 4 through the raw material inlet / outlet 3 at the top of the cleaning tank 1. Then, the servo motor 6 is started, which drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate via the transmission belt 7, causing the cleaning tank 4 to rotate accordingly. During the initial cleaning stage, water is supplied to the ring pipe 11 through one branch of the dual water supply pipeline 9 (such as a branch pipe connected to the municipal water supply network). The water is then transported through the ring pipe 11 to the rinsing nozzle 23, which sprays clean water onto the ingredients in the cleaning tank 4. Simultaneously, the rotation of the cleaning tank 4 causes the rubber column 14 to stir and agitate the ingredients, ensuring thorough contact between the ingredients and the clean water, thus removing most of the visible contaminants from the surface. Wastewater and impurities generated during the cleaning process are discharged through the annular filter screen 22 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 4 to the lower part of the cleaning tank 1, and then flow into the filtration unit 15 through the water guide nozzle 16. The filter cover 17 inside the filtration unit 15 filters the wastewater, removing impurities, silt and other pollutants. The filtered water enters the circulating water tank 8 for storage, ready for subsequent recycling. After the initial cleaning is completed, the equipment enters the rinsing stage. At this time, the water supply source of the dual water supply pipeline 9 can be selected as needed. If circulating water is used, the booster pump 10 on the branch pipe connected to the circulating water tank 8 is turned on. The circulating water enters the annular pipe 11 under the action of the booster pump 10, and then is sprayed onto the raw materials through the rinsing nozzle 23. If clean fresh water is required, the manual valve on the branch pipe connected to the municipal water supply network can be turned on. The water flow sprayed from the multiple inclined rinsing nozzles 23 forms an impact force that converges into the cleaning tank 4, rinsing the raw materials from all directions, thoroughly washing away the residual wastewater, detergent residue and fine impurities on the surface of the raw materials, ensuring the cleanliness of the raw materials. Wastewater generated during rinsing is also filtered by filter unit 15 before entering the circulating water tank 8. Throughout the cleaning and rinsing process, the annular edge 13 at the top port of the cleaning tub 4 slides along the annular guide rail 12 on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, ensuring the stability of the rotation of the cleaning tub 4. After the cleaning and rinsing work is completed, the servo motor 6 and related valves are turned off, and the clean raw materials are taken out through the raw material inlet and outlet 3. If it is necessary to drain the water in the circulating water tank 8, the drain nozzle on its lower surface can be opened.

[0027] 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.
