Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ham processing technology, specifically to a ham cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In some ham processing techniques, a cleaning device is used to clean the ham. Existing cleaning devices consist of a cleaning tank, a refrigeration unit, and an air oxygenation unit. The refrigeration unit comprises a refrigeration compressor, refrigeration cooling pipes, and refrigerant; the air oxygenation unit consists of a blower and air oxygenation pipes. The refrigeration cooling pipes and air oxygenation pipes are installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, connected to the refrigeration compressor to form a circulation loop; the blower is connected to the air oxygenation pipes, which are equipped with air outlets. This effectively overcomes the seasonal constraints of ham cleaning in traditional ham processing, meets the requirements of the ham cleaning process after curing, and significantly increases the output of ham processing.

[0003] Existing cleaning devices have the following problems: after cleaning, they cannot automatically drain water and discharge materials, making continuous cleaning inconvenient.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a ham cleaning device to solve the problem of inconvenience in continuous cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing cleaning devices cannot automatically drain water and discharge materials after cleaning, making continuous cleaning inconvenient.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A ham washing device, comprising: A cleaning tank is used to store cleaning solution; A bubble generator is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank; A load-bearing component is installed inside the washing pool and used to support the ham. A lifting mechanism connects to and drives the load-bearing component to lift. The discharge mechanism is installed on the cleaning tank and is used to push the ham on the load-bearing component.

[0007] Existing cleaning devices cannot automatically drain and discharge material after cleaning, making continuous cleaning inconvenient. In this solution, the ham is placed on the supporting component, and the lifting mechanism lowers the supporting component, allowing the ham to be immersed in the cleaning solution. Bubbles are generated by the bubble generator and rise to increase the fluidity of the cleaning solution and clean the ham. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism moves the supporting component upward to facilitate drainage. After a specified time, the drainage is complete, and the discharge mechanism pushes the ham to facilitate the next cleaning. This automatic drainage and discharge solves the problem of inconvenient continuous cleaning.

[0008] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the load-bearing component. One feasible solution is that the load-bearing component includes a frame and several rollers installed in the frame. When this solution is adopted, the friction force is reduced because the ham and the rollers are subjected to rolling friction, so that the discharge mechanism can push the ham.

[0009] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the lifting mechanism. One feasible solution is that the frame is connected to a load-bearing rod, and the lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder connected to the load-bearing rod. When this solution is adopted, the frame is lifted and lowered by the hydraulic cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, to ensure smooth lifting and lowering of the frame, one feasible solution is that the lifting mechanism further includes a guide rod passing through the frame. With this solution, the frame can be lifted and lowered smoothly due to the guiding effect of the guide rod.

[0011] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the bubble generator. One feasible solution is that the bubble generator includes a serpentine tube connected to an air pump and a bubble stone installed on the serpentine tube. When this solution is adopted, air is delivered to the serpentine tube by the air pump, and a number of bubbles are generated by the bubble stone.

[0012] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the discharge mechanism. One feasible solution is that the discharge mechanism includes an electric guide rail connected to the washing tank and a push plate mounted on the guide rail. When this solution is adopted, the electric guide rail drives the push plate to move, thereby pushing the ham.

[0013] Furthermore, this solution is not limited to the specific structure of the electric guide rail. One feasible solution is that the electric guide rail includes a threaded rod passing through the push plate and a stepper motor for driving the threaded rod. When this solution is adopted, the stepper motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, thereby driving the push plate to move.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The ham is placed on the load-bearing component. The lifting mechanism lowers the load-bearing component, immersing the ham in the cleaning solution. Bubbles are generated by the bubble generator and rise to the surface, increasing the fluidity of the cleaning solution and cleaning the ham. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism moves the load-bearing component upward to facilitate drainage. After a specified time, the drainage is complete, and the discharge mechanism pushes the ham for the next cleaning. This automatic drainage and discharge solves the problem of inconvenient continuous cleaning. 2. Since the bubble generator includes a serpentine tube connected to an air pump and a bubble stone installed on the serpentine tube, air is delivered to the serpentine tube by the air pump and a number of bubbles are generated by the bubble stone. Third, since the discharge mechanism includes an electric guide rail connected to the washing tank and a push plate installed on the guide rail, the push plate is moved by the electric guide rail, thereby pushing the ham.

[0017] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0018] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0019] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A ham washing device, comprising: Cleaning tank 1 is used to store cleaning solution; Bubble generator 2 is installed at the bottom of cleaning tank 1; Load-bearing component 3 is installed inside the washing pool 1 and is used to support the ham; Lifting mechanism 4 connects to and drives the load-bearing component 3 to lift. The discharge mechanism 5 is installed on the cleaning tank 1 and is used to push the ham on the load-bearing component 3.

[0020] Existing cleaning devices cannot automatically drain and discharge materials after cleaning, making continuous cleaning inconvenient. In this solution, the ham is placed on the load-bearing component 3, and the lifting mechanism 4 lowers the load-bearing component 3, allowing the ham to be immersed in the cleaning liquid. Bubbles are generated by the bubble generator 2 and float to the surface, increasing the fluidity of the cleaning liquid and cleaning the ham. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 4 moves the load-bearing component 3 upward to facilitate drainage. After a specified time, the drainage is complete, and the discharge mechanism 5 pushes the ham to facilitate the next cleaning. This automatic drainage and discharge solves the problem of inconvenient continuous cleaning.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the load-bearing component 3. One feasible solution is that the load-bearing component 3 includes a frame 31 and several rollers 32 installed in the frame 31. When this solution is adopted, the friction is reduced because the ham and the rollers 32 are rolling friction, so that the discharge mechanism 5 can push the ham.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3This solution does not limit the specific structure of the lifting mechanism 4. One feasible solution is: the frame 31 is connected to the load-bearing rod 33, and the lifting mechanism 4 includes a hydraulic cylinder 41 connected to the load-bearing rod 33. When this solution is adopted, the frame 31 is lifted and lowered by the hydraulic cylinder 41. Specifically, in this embodiment, the hydraulic cylinder 41 is connected to a hydraulic pump, and the hydraulic cylinder 41 is driven by the hydraulic pump.

[0023] To make the frame 31 rise and fall smoothly, one feasible solution is that the lifting mechanism 4 also includes a guide rod 42 passing through the frame 31. When this solution is adopted, the frame can rise and fall smoothly due to the guiding effect of the guide rod 42.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 This scheme does not limit the specific structure of the bubble generator 2. One feasible scheme is that the bubble generator 2 includes a serpentine tube 21 connected to the air pump and a bubble stone 22 installed on the serpentine tube 21. When this scheme is adopted, air is delivered to the serpentine tube 21 by the air pump and a number of bubbles are generated by the bubble stone 22.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the discharge mechanism 5. One feasible solution is that the discharge mechanism 5 includes an electric guide rail 51 connected to the cleaning tank 1 and a push plate 52 installed on the guide rail 51. When this solution is adopted, the electric guide rail 51 drives the push plate 52 to move, thereby pushing the ham. Specifically, when the hydraulic cylinder 41 is fully extended, the distance between the upper end face of the lifting mechanism 4 and the lower end face of the push plate 52 is 20~30mm.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the electric guide rail 51. One feasible solution is that the electric guide rail 51 includes a threaded rod 511 passing through the push plate 52 and a stepper motor 512 for driving the threaded rod 511. When this solution is adopted, the stepper motor 512 drives the threaded rod 511 to rotate, thereby driving the push plate 52 to move. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two stepper motors 512 are controlled by the same pulse signal, which enables the corresponding two threaded rods 511 to rotate synchronously.

[0027] To address the issue of inconvenient continuous cleaning, this solution involves placing the ham on a load-bearing component 3. A lifting mechanism 4 lowers the load-bearing component 3, immersing the ham in the cleaning solution. Bubbles are generated by a bubble generator 2 and rise to the surface, increasing the fluidity of the cleaning solution and cleaning the ham. After cleaning, the lifting mechanism 4 moves the load-bearing component 3 upwards for draining. After a specified time, the draining is complete, and the discharge mechanism 5 pushes the ham forward for the next cleaning cycle. This automatic draining and discharge mechanism solves the problem of inconvenient continuous cleaning.

[0028] To facilitate bubble generation, in this design, the bubble generator 2 includes a serpentine tube 21 connected to an air pump and an air stone 22 installed on the serpentine tube 21. Air is delivered to the serpentine tube 21 by the air pump, and several bubbles are generated by the air stone 22.

[0029] To facilitate the movement of the ham, in this design, the discharge mechanism 5 includes an electric guide rail 51 connected to the washing tank 1 and a push plate 52 mounted on the guide rail 51. The electric guide rail 51 drives the push plate 52 to move, thereby pushing the ham.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
