This invention discloses a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production, relating to the field of mulberry wine production technology. It includes a washing tank with a washing frame inside. By tilting and flipping the washing frame, the mulberries enter the screening tank. Upon entering, the mulberries first roll on top of a first sieve plate, which has a larger aperture to separate larger mulberry particles. These larger particles are discharged from outlet one. Mulberries that fit the aperture of the first sieve plate flow downwards and fall onto the top of a second sieve plate, located below the first sieve plate. This second sieve plate has a smaller aperture to further screen medium-sized mulberries. Smaller mulberries continue to flow downwards through the aperture of the second sieve plate and are discharged outwards through outlet two. Medium-sized mulberries roll downwards along the inclined angle of the second sieve plate, are guided by a guide channel to a guide mesh plate, and are discharged from outlet three. This multi-stage screening can separate mulberry fruits of different sizes, meeting the raw material requirements of different winemaking processes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mulberry wine production technology, specifically to a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production. Background Technology

[0002] Mulberry wine, a prized fruit wine, is carefully brewed from mulberry fruit. It boasts rich nutritional value and health benefits. Compositionally, mulberry wine and dry mulberry red wine are rich in anthocyanins, resveratrol, amino acids, vitamins, and other bioactive components and nutrients. These components endow mulberry wine with exceptional nourishing and health-promoting value. Drinking it can not only alleviate common discomforts like cold hands and feet, but also provides multiple benefits such as nourishing blood and complexion, strengthening the body, protecting the liver and kidneys, and improving eyesight and intelligence. It is a beverage that combines delicious taste with health benefits.

[0003] In the production process of mulberry wine, the cleaning and screening of mulberries is a crucial initial step. This step directly relates to the cleanliness and quality grading of the raw materials, playing a fundamental role in the smooth progress of subsequent brewing processes and the quality of the finished wine. Only by accurately cleaning and removing impurities, pesticide residues, and foreign matter from the surface of the mulberries, combined with scientific screening to grade the fruit by size and ripeness, can a solid foundation be laid for brewing high-quality mulberry wine. Therefore, we provide a mulberry cleaning and screening device for mulberry wine production.

[0004] In the prior art, a Chinese patent document with publication number CN213246814U and publication date of May 25, 2021, was proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solution disclosed in this patent document is as follows: A mulberry fruit cleaning device, characterized in that it includes a box, a cleaning mesh belt, a high-pressure water rinsing device, an ultrasonic cleaning device, and a driving device; the cleaning mesh belt is rotatably disposed in the box; the surface of the cleaning mesh belt is uniformly provided with mesh; the surface of the cleaning mesh belt is uniformly provided with a plurality of paddles along the length direction; the cleaning mesh belt includes a first horizontal section, a second horizontal section, a third horizontal section, a fourth horizontal section, and a fifth horizontal section.

[0005] To address the issue of mulberry cleaning, existing technologies combine high-pressure water rinsing with ultrasonic cleaning to effectively remove stains and pesticide residues from the mulberry's surface. However, in practice, mulberries may contain mulberry leaves or dead insects. During the cleaning process, these leaves and insect remains float on the water's surface. When using the aforementioned cleaning device, these floating impurities are discharged along with the cleaned mulberries, making separation impossible. This increases the difficulty of subsequent work and reduces the quality of cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A cleaning unit is provided on the upper left side of the cleaning box, and a screening unit is provided inside the screening box.

[0010] The impurity removal unit includes a dust collection box fixedly installed on the left side of the cleaning box. The dust collection box has a support groove inside to facilitate the support of the filter screen frame.

[0011] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a filter screen frame is movably inserted into the inside of the bearing groove, a filter bag is bolted to the bottom of the filter screen frame, a water storage cavity is opened on the bottom of the dust collection box, the filter screen frame is movably inserted into the inside of the bearing groove, and can be removed periodically to clean the internal impurities, while the filter bag can also be removed.

[0012] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a liquid extraction pipe is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dust collection box, and a circulation pump is fixedly installed on the bottom right side of the cleaning box. The liquid extraction end of the circulation pump is fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid extraction pipe. The circulation pump, the liquid extraction pipe, and the drain pipe enable the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning box to circulate and intercept impurities during the flow, thereby achieving the purpose of saving water resources.

[0013] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a drain pipe is fixedly installed at the drain end of the circulating pump, and the other end of the drain pipe is fixedly installed inside the top right side of the cleaning tank.

[0014] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a servo motor is fixedly installed at the top right side of the washing box, a drive rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor, the other end of the drive rod is fixedly installed at the rear right side of the washing frame, and a guide port is fixedly installed at the rear top of the washing frame. The model of the servo motor is: SIMOTICS1FT7. The servo motor drives the drive rod to rotate, and the drive rod drives the washing frame to flip and tilt, so as to pour out the mulberries inside.

[0015] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: the screening unit includes a screen plate fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the screening box, and a discharge port is opened at a position on the screen plate on the rear side of the screening box. The screen plate has a large aperture for separating larger mulberry particles, and the larger mulberry particles are discharged from the discharge port.

[0016] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: a second sieve plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the screening box below the first sieve plate; a second discharge port is opened on the rear side of the screening box at the second sieve plate; a guide channel is opened inside the screening box on the left side of the second sieve plate; the second sieve plate is located below the first sieve plate and has a smaller aperture to further screen medium-sized mulberries; smaller mulberries continue to flow downward through the aperture of the second sieve plate and are discharged outward in conjunction with the second discharge port; and medium-sized mulberries roll downward along the inclined angle of the second sieve plate.

[0017] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that a guide mesh plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screening box, and a discharge port three is opened on the rear side of the screening box at the guide mesh plate. The guide channel guides medium-sized fruits to the guide mesh plate and discharges them from the discharge port three. Multi-stage screening can separate mulberry fruits of different sizes to meet the raw material requirements of different winemaking processes.

[0018] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by this invention compared to the prior art is as follows:

[0019] 1. This invention provides a mulberry cleaning and screening device for mulberry wine production. By setting up a cleaning frame, the mulberries are soaked in the cleaning solution, which promotes the dissolution of impurities. Mulberry leaves and damaged fruits will gradually float to the top. The floating impurities will enter the dust collection box on the left side with the water flow. The filter screen and filter bag in the dust collection box can intercept impurities. The water flows into the water storage chamber. Then, the filtered water is drawn from the water storage chamber by a circulation pump and a liquid extraction pipe, and sent back to the inside of the cleaning box through the liquid drain pipe to form a water circulation. The water circulation can promote the fluidity of the water inside the cleaning box, thereby increasing the contact area between the liquid and the mulberries and promoting cleaning.

[0020] 2. This invention provides a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production. By setting a servo motor, the output end of which drives the drive rod to rotate. The rotation of the drive rod causes the washing frame to flip to an inclined state, and the mulberries are poured into the screening box behind through the feed port, realizing easy material retrieval and promoting the convenience of operation.

[0021] 3. This invention provides a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production. When mulberries enter the screening box, they first roll on top of sieve plate one, which has a larger aperture to separate larger mulberry particles. The larger mulberry particles are discharged from outlet one. Mulberries that fit the aperture of the sieve plate flow downwards and fall onto the top of sieve plate two, which is located below sieve plate one and has a smaller aperture to further screen medium-sized mulberries. Smaller mulberries continue to flow downwards through the aperture of sieve plate two and are discharged outwards through outlet two. Medium-sized mulberries roll downwards along the inclined angle of sieve plate two and are guided by the guide channel to the guide mesh plate, and discharged from outlet three. Multi-stage screening can separate mulberry fruits of different sizes to meet the raw material requirements of different winemaking processes. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-6As shown, this invention provides a mulberry washing and screening device for mulberry wine production, including a washing tank 1. A washing frame 2 is disposed inside the washing tank 1. The top and rear ends of the washing frame 2 are rotatably mounted on the inner sides of the top and rear ends of the washing tank 1, located on the fixed blocks. A screening box 3 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the washing tank 1. A water outlet 4 is fixedly mounted on the bottom right side of the screening box 3. A water guide 11 is fixedly mounted on the front left side of the washing tank 1. A purification unit is disposed on the left side of the washing tank 1. A screening unit is disposed inside the screening box 3. The purification unit includes a filter fixedly mounted on the left side of the washing tank 1. The dust collection box 12 is located on the side. The dust collection box 12 has a support groove 13 inside. A filter screen frame 14 is movably inserted into the support groove 13. A filter bag 15 is bolted to the bottom of the filter screen frame 14. A water storage chamber 16 is opened at the bottom of the dust collection box 12. A liquid extraction pipe 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the dust collection box 12. A circulation pump 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom right side of the cleaning box 1. The liquid extraction end of the circulation pump 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid extraction pipe 17. A drain pipe 19 is fixedly installed at the discharge end of the circulation pump 18. The other end of the drain pipe 19 is fixedly installed inside the top right side of the cleaning box 1.

[0032] Furthermore, during the cleaning process, the cleaning solution is injected into the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet 11 on the left side until the cleaning frame 2 is submerged. The mulberries are soaked in the cleaning solution, which dissolves impurities. Mulberry leaves and damaged fruits gradually float to the top. The floating impurities enter the dust collection box 12 on the left side with the water flow. The filter screen frame 14 and filter bag 15 in the dust collection box 12 can intercept impurities. The water flows into the water storage chamber 16, and then the filtered water is drawn from the water storage chamber 16 by the circulation pump 18 in conjunction with the liquid extraction pipe 17. The filtered water is then sent back to the interior of the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 19, forming a water circulation. The water circulation can promote the fluidity of the water inside the cleaning tank 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the liquid and the mulberries and promoting cleaning.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution: Preferably, a servo motor 22 is fixedly installed at the top right side shell of the cleaning box 1, a drive rod 23 is fixedly installed on the output end of the servo motor 22, and the other end of the drive rod 23 is fixedly installed at the rear right side of the cleaning frame 2. A guide port 21 is fixedly installed at the rear top of the cleaning frame 2.

[0035] Furthermore, after the washing is completed, the output end of the servo motor 22 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate. The rotation of the drive rod 23 causes the washing frame 2 to flip to an inclined state, and the mulberries are poured into the screening box 3 behind through the guide port 21, making it easy to pick up the material.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on embodiments 1-2, the present invention provides a technical solution: preferably, the screening unit includes a screen plate 31 fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the screening box 3, a discharge port 32 is provided on the rear side of the screening box 3 at the screen plate 31, a screen plate 33 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the screening box 3 below the screen plate 31, a discharge port 34 is provided on the rear side of the screening box 3 at the screen plate 33, a guide channel 35 is provided inside the screening box 3 on the left side of the screen plate 33, a guide mesh plate 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screening box 3, and a discharge port 37 is provided on the rear side of the screening box 3 at the guide mesh plate 36.

[0038] Furthermore, when the mulberries enter the screening box 3, they first roll on top of the first sieve plate 31. The sieve plate 31 has a larger aperture, which is used to separate larger mulberry particles. The larger mulberry particles are discharged from the discharge port 32. Mulberries that fit the aperture of the sieve plate flow downwards and fall on top of the second sieve plate 33. The second sieve plate 33 is located below the first sieve plate 31 and has a smaller aperture, which further filters medium-sized mulberries. Smaller mulberries continue to flow downwards through the aperture of the second sieve plate 33 and are discharged outwards through the second discharge port 34. Medium-sized mulberries roll downwards along the inclined angle of the second sieve plate 33 and are guided by the guide channel 35 to the guide mesh plate 36, and discharged from the third discharge port 37.

[0039] The solution uses a PLC as the core control component. The PLC establishes a connection with the servo motor 22 and the circulating pump 18 through RS-485 communication. When it is necessary to start the servo motor 22 and the circulating pump 18, the PLC sends a start command to the servo motor 22 and the circulating pump 18, causing the servo motor 22 and the circulating pump 18 to start.

[0040] The working principle of the mulberry washing and screening device used in the production of mulberry wine will be explained in detail below.

[0041] like Figure 1-6As shown, during cleaning, the cleaning solution is injected into the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet 11 on the left side until the cleaning frame 2 is submerged. The mulberries are soaked in the cleaning solution, and impurities are dissolved. Mulberry leaves and damaged fruits gradually float to the top. The floating impurities enter the dust collection box 12 on the left side with the water flow. The filter screen frame 14 and filter bag 15 in the dust collection box 12 can intercept impurities. The water flows into the water storage chamber 16, and then the circulating pump 18, together with the liquid extraction pipe 17, draws the filtered water from the water storage chamber 16 and sends it back to the interior of the cleaning tank 1 through the drain pipe 19, forming a water circulation. The water circulation can promote the fluidity of the water inside the cleaning tank 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the liquid and the mulberries and promoting cleaning. After cleaning, the output end of the servo motor 22 drives the drive rod 23 to rotate. 3. Rotation causes the washing frame 2 to flip to an inclined state. Mulberries are poured into the screening box 3 behind through the guide port 21, making it easy to pick up the mulberries. When the mulberries enter the screening box 3, they first roll on the top of the first screen plate 31. The aperture of the first screen plate 31 is relatively large, which is used to separate larger mulberry particles. The larger mulberry particles are discharged from the discharge port 32. Mulberries that fit the aperture of the screen plate flow downwards and fall on the top of the second screen plate 33. The second screen plate 33 is located below the first screen plate 31 and has a smaller aperture, which further filters medium-sized mulberries. Smaller mulberries continue to flow downwards through the aperture of the second screen plate 33 and are discharged outwards through the discharge port 34. Medium-sized mulberries roll downwards along the inclined angle of the second screen plate 33 and are guided by the guide channel 35 to the guide mesh plate 36 and discharged from the discharge port 37.

[0042] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
