Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food cleaning technology, specifically relating to a food pre-cleaning and sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Food pre-cleaning and sorting equipment utilizes automated cleaning and optical sorting technologies to quickly remove impurities from raw materials and grade them, thereby improving the efficiency of food processing pretreatment, reducing labor costs, and is widely used in the processing of fruits, vegetables, meats, and other products.
[0003] A known authorized patent with application number 202322260643.7 discloses a food pre-cleaning and sorting device: It includes a housing with triangularly distributed cleaning rollers inside. Each cleaning roller has brush strips equidistantly arranged for cleaning the food. An outer wall of the housing has a drive structure for rotating the cleaning rollers. A first sorting frame and a second sorting frame are fixed to the inner wall of the housing from top to bottom. Sorting rollers are equidistantly rotatably connected inside both the first and second sorting frames. This invention can simultaneously pre-clean and sort mustard greens or other foods in an integrated manner, eliminating the need for separate pre-cleaning and sorting steps. It offers better performance and significantly improves work efficiency. The brush strips pre-clean the mustard greens or other foods, removing initial dirt. The sorting rollers then separate the foods, separating mustard greens or other foods of different sizes, resulting in more uniform and accurate food specifications. No manual sorting is required, leading to better performance.
[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technology: When the device is used, a brush is used to clean the food. However, if the brush is too hard, it will damage the food. If it is too soft, it will result in poor cleaning effect. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to achieve the cleaning effect for foods with more complex shapes, such as broccoli.
[0005] Therefore, a food pre-cleaning and sorting device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
