A fruit washing device

Abstract

This utility model discloses a fruit washing device, including a washing tank. A conveyor belt is installed inside the washing tank, and a threaded conveyor rod is installed outside the washing tank. A blower is installed above the threaded conveyor rod. In use, the washing tank is filled with clean water, and fruit is steadily added to the washing tank via the conveyor belt. The fruit immersed in the washing tank is carried out by the conveyor belt and placed onto the threaded conveyor rod. As the threaded conveyor rod rotates, it moves the fruit forward while maintaining its rotational movement. The blower above continuously dries the fruit on the threaded conveyor rod, ensuring each fruit is thoroughly dried and reducing residual moisture. This solves the problem of residual moisture easily causing premature oxidation and spoilage of the fruit.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a fruit cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Fruits may be sprayed with pesticides during their growth, and these pesticide residues can remain on the surface. If not washed, these pesticides may pose a health hazard. Fruits may also come into contact with soil, dust, and other impurities during growth and transportation. These impurities can adhere to the fruit's surface, and if not washed, these contaminants can affect the fruit's taste and hygiene. Washing removes microorganisms and bacteria from the fruit's surface, reducing the risk of food poisoning.

[0003] Conventional cleaning methods involve batch cleaning. To save time after cleaning, a pile of fruit is usually air-dried or blow-dried. However, the fruit in the pile is not easily exposed to the outside environment, resulting in a large amount of residual moisture on the surface of the fruit. When transported in packaging boxes, this residual moisture can easily cause the fruit to oxidize and spoil prematurely. To solve this technical problem, this utility model proposes a fruit cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a fruit washing device includes a washing tank 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed inside the washing tank 1, a threaded conveyor rod 3 installed outside the washing tank 1, a blower 4 installed above the threaded conveyor rod 3, and a chute installed outside the threaded conveyor rod 3. In use, the washing tank 1 is filled with clean water, and fruit is fed into the washing tank 1 in a stable amount via the conveyor belt. The fruit immersed in the washing tank 1 is carried out by the conveyor belt 2 and placed onto the threaded conveyor rod 3. When the threaded conveyor rod 3 rotates, it can move the fruit forward, and the fruit maintains its rotating state during movement. The blower 4 above continuously dries the fruit on the threaded conveyor rod 3, achieving a good drying effect for each fruit, reducing residual moisture, and solving the problem that residual moisture easily leads to premature oxidation and spoilage of the fruit.

[0024] A propeller 6 is installed inside the washing tank 1, a partition 7 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the washing tank 1, and a fixing plate 8 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the washing tank 1. The outer surface of the fixing plate 8 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded conveyor rod 3. The propeller 6 can rotate to make the water in the washing tank 1 flow, which in turn can make the fruit flow in the washing tank 1, improving the effect of cleaning pesticide residues on the surface of the fruit. The partition 7 can separate two areas at the top to reduce the probability that the fruit will fall directly onto the conveyor belt 2 when the fruit is put in, causing the fruit to skip the cleaning and go directly into the drying stage.

[0025] An I-shaped protective frame 9 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the washing box 1. A protective canopy 10 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the I-shaped protective frame 9. An air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the protective canopy 10. A blower 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the air inlet pipe 11. The I-shaped protective frame 9 can provide support for the protective canopy 10. The blower 4 can guide the air above the equipment into the air inlet pipe 11 and blow it directly into the conveyor located above the threaded conveyor rod 3 through the air inlet pipe 11. The protective canopy 10 can guide the internal air to maintain a stable downward flow to ensure that the fruit can be fully dried.

[0026] A support frame 12 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the I-shaped guard 9. The outer surface of the support frame 12 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded transmission rod 3. Gear 13 and gear 2 14 are rotatably connected to the outer surface of the support frame 12. Gear 13 and gear 2 14 are respectively meshed with the outer surfaces of the two threaded transmission rods 3. The support frame 12 can provide support for the two threaded transmission rods 3. Since gear 13 and gear 2 14 can drive the two threaded transmission rods 3 to rotate, and gear 13 and gear 2 14 are also meshed with each other, the two threaded transmission rods 3 maintain opposite rotation directions.

[0027] A load-bearing frame 15 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the cleaning tank 1. A motor 16 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the load-bearing frame 15. A rotating rod 17 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 16. A connecting sleeve 18 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 17. The outer surface of the connecting sleeve 18 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the gear 13. The load-bearing frame 15 can provide support for the motor 16, and the connecting sleeve 18 can provide support for the rotating rod 17. At the same time, a bearing is installed inside the connecting sleeve 18. The bearing is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating rod 17, making the rotating rod 17 more stable and flexible when rotating.

[0028] One end of the rotating rod 17 is fixedly equipped with a drive tooth 19. The outer surface of the drive tooth 19 meshes with the outer surface of the gear 13. The motor 16 can drive the drive tooth 19 to rotate through the rotating rod 17. When the drive tooth 19 rotates, it can drive the gear 13 to rotate, thereby providing power to the threaded transmission rod 3.

[0029] A guide frame 20 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the washing box 1. The outer surface of the guide frame 20 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the protective shed 10. The washing box 1 and the protective shed 10 can provide support for the guide frame 20. The guide frame 20 can guide the fruit on the conveyor belt 2 to roll into the gap between the two threaded conveyor rods 3 in sequence.
