Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fruit wine production technology, specifically to a fruit wine washing device for fruit wine production. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting fruit. It is made by washing and drying the fruit, and then fermenting it using the wild yeast naturally present on the fruit's surface. When producing fruit wine, such as black chokeberry (whose berries are rich in flavonoids, anthocyanins, and polyphenols and are widely used in the food industry), the raw fruit usually needs to be washed and dried first, and then the pre-treated raw material is placed in a fermentation tank for fermentation.

[0003] The existing fruit washing device mainly includes a holding tank and a stirrer. Its working principle is as follows: after the fruit and water are put into the holding tank in proportion, the stirring device generates water flow impact force to cause impurities on the surface of the fruit to fall off and suspend in the water. After completion, the fruit is scooped out with a filter spoon.

[0004] Although impurities adhering to the fruit can be detached and mixed in the water during stirring and washing, these impurities are prone to forming localized high-concentration areas in a still water environment, causing them to re-adhere when the fruit is retrieved, resulting in secondary pollution. The cleanliness of the fruit cannot be guaranteed when it is retrieved with a filter spoon. In addition, the energy transfer efficiency of the washing method that relies solely on mechanical stirring is limited by the characteristics of fluid dynamics. For fruits with uneven surfaces or velvety structures, the impurity removal rate is low, and multiple washing cycles are required to meet hygiene standards, resulting in low washing efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a fruit washing device for fruit wine production is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fruit washing device for fruit wine production, which improves washing efficiency and avoids secondary pollution, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a raw fruit cleaning device for fruit wine production, comprising two symmetrically arranged uprights, each upright having an electric cylinder fixedly installed on one side close to the other, the push rod end of each electric cylinder being fixedly installed with the same crossbeam, an equipment cabinet being fixedly installed on the lower side of the crossbeam, a drive assembly being installed inside the equipment cabinet, a rotating shaft and two guide rods being connected and installed on the lower side of the drive assembly, the rotating shaft being centrally located and the guide rods being symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft, a cleaning brush being fixedly installed at the lower end of each guide rod, a stirring assembly being fixedly installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft, a holding tank being placed between the electric cylinders, and the cleaning brush and stirring assembly extending into the holding tank during use, with a controller fixedly installed on one of the uprights.

[0008] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a geared motor, a reciprocating groove, and a nut slider. The geared motor is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inside of the equipment cabinet. One end of the output end of the geared motor is connected to a rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft extends downward out of the equipment cabinet. A reciprocating groove is provided on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft. A nut slider is slidably installed in the reciprocating groove. The two sides of the nut slider are fixedly assembled to the upper end of the guide rod through connecting arms.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes linear bearings, and a pair of linear bearings are fixedly installed on the lower side of the equipment cabinet, with the optical rods slidably assembled inside the linear bearings.

[0010] Specifically, the stirring assembly includes a blade, an internal threaded sleeve, and an internal splined cylinder. The internal splined cylinder is fixedly installed on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft. One end of the external splined shaft is inserted into the internal splined cylinder. The blade is fixedly installed on the other end of the external splined shaft through a connecting rod. The connecting rod is fitted with an internal threaded sleeve. A threaded section is formed on the circumferential side of the internal splined cylinder. The internal threaded sleeve and the threaded section are screwed together.

[0011] Specifically, the container includes a filter bucket, brake casters, and an outer bucket body. Four brake casters arranged in a rectangular array are installed on the lower side of the outer bucket body, and the filter bucket is placed inside the outer bucket body.

[0012] Furthermore, the container also includes a valve, which is installed at the bottom of one side of the outer container.

[0013] Furthermore, the holding tank also includes a support column, one end of which is uniformly fixedly installed on the inner surface of the outer tank, and the other end of which abuts against the filter tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: While the drive component rotates and the stirring component stirs, the two cleaning brushes can move up and down. The water flow impacts the surface of the fruit to remove impurities. The cleaning brushes can also generate turbulence to improve the cleaning effect, and the contact between the fruit and the cleaning brushes also facilitates the removal of impurities. In addition, the design of the holding buckets can separate the deposited impurities from the raw fruit, avoiding secondary pollution. The movable and replaceable holding buckets can meet the production schedule and allow the raw fruit in the same holding bucket to be washed multiple times, making it more flexible to use.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a raw fruit cleaning device for fruit wine production, including two symmetrically arranged uprights 10. The uprights 10 are vertically arranged and serve as supports. The bottom of the uprights 10 has countersunk holes, which can be fixed to the work position with screws during use.

[0019] Electric cylinders 9 are fixedly installed on the side of the two uprights 10 that are close to each other. The electric cylinders 9 are existing equipment and are set vertically. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 9 is fixedly installed with the same crossbeam 6. The crossbeam 6 is set horizontally. When the push rod end of the electric cylinder 9 is extended or retracted, the crossbeam 6 can be raised or lowered. The equipment cabinet 5 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the crossbeam 6. The equipment cabinet 5 is an existing component composed of a cabinet body, cabinet door and other structures, used to isolate and protect the equipment installed inside.

[0020] Inside the equipment cabinet 5, a drive assembly 7 is installed. A rotating shaft 8 and two light rods 4 are connected and installed on the lower side of the drive assembly 7. The rotating shaft 8 is centrally located and the light rods 4 are symmetrically located on both sides of the rotating shaft 8. A cleaning brush 1 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the light rod 4. A stirring assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the circumference of the rotating shaft 8. When the drive assembly 7 is working, it can rotate the stirring assembly 2 via the rotating shaft 8, and at the same time drive the two cleaning brushes 1 to move up and down via the light rods 4.

[0021] A container 3 is placed between the electric cylinders 9. Multiple containers 3 can be prepared for easy replacement and to improve work efficiency. When in use, the cleaning brush 1 and the stirring component 2 are inserted into the container 3. The stirring action of the stirring component 2 and the turbulence action of the cleaning brush 1 can improve the cleaning effect on the raw fruit.

[0022] One of the uprights 10 is fixedly equipped with a controller 11. The controller 11 is an existing component with a microcomputer, a button area and a display screen. The electrical components in the drive assembly 7 and the electric cylinder 9 are all connected to an external power source through the controller 11. They are controlled uniformly through the controller 11 or set by inputting parameters.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 The drive assembly 7 includes a geared motor 71, a reciprocating groove 72, and a nut slider 73. The geared motor 71 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the inside of the equipment cabinet 5. The output end of the geared motor 71 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 8. The other end of the rotating shaft 8 extends downward out of the equipment cabinet 5. A reciprocating groove 72 (composed of two threaded grooves with opposite spiral directions and smoothly connected at both ends) is opened on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 8. The reciprocating groove 72 is located inside the equipment cabinet 5. The nut slider 73 is slidably installed on the reciprocating groove 72. The two sides of the nut slider 73 are fixedly assembled to the upper end of the guide rod 4 through connecting arms.

[0024] When the geared motor 71 is working, it can rotate the shaft 8 to realize the function of rotating the stirring component 2. At the same time, it drives the reciprocating groove 72 to rotate, so that the nut slider 73 can move up and down along the reciprocating groove 72 to realize the function of cleaning brush 1 moving up and down. In addition, the smooth rod 4 also has a guiding function to prevent the nut slider 73 from rotating with the reciprocating groove 72.

[0025] The drive assembly 7 also includes linear bearings 74. A pair of linear bearings 74 are fixedly installed on the lower side of the equipment cabinet 5. The guide rods 4 are slidably assembled in the linear bearings 74. The setting of the linear bearings 74 can improve the accuracy of the guide rods 4 moving up and down along the axial direction and improve the stability of the operation.

[0026] In addition, the bottom of the light rod 4 is provided with a through hole for the rotating shaft 8 to pass through, and a rotary seal is installed in the through hole to ensure that the rotating shaft 8 can maintain a sealed environment inside the equipment cabinet 5 when it is rotating.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 The stirring assembly 2 includes a blade 21, an internal threaded sleeve 22, and an internal splined cylinder 23. The internal splined cylinder 23 is fixedly installed on the circumferential side of the rotating shaft 8. Adjacent internal splined cylinders 23 are offset by 180° on the horizontal plane. One end of the external splined shaft 24 is inserted into the internal splined cylinder 23. The blade 21 is fixedly installed on the other end of the external splined shaft 24 through a connecting rod. The connecting rod is fitted with an internal threaded sleeve 22. A threaded section is opened on the circumferential side of the internal splined cylinder 23. The internal threaded sleeve 22 is screwed into the threaded section.

[0028] The insertion of the outer spline shaft 24 and the inner spline cylinder 23 allows for quick connection. After rotating a certain angle, the outer spline shaft 24 can be re-inserted, which can change the tilt angle of the blade 21 around the connecting rod. This can be adjusted according to the size of the fruit. When the fruit is small, the angle between the blade 21 and the horizontal plane is smaller, and when the fruit is large, the angle between the blade 21 and the horizontal plane is larger. This ensures stirring efficiency while avoiding damage to the fruit. Furthermore, the blade 21 is made of a tough silicone material, which further prevents damage to the fruit.

[0029] The diameter of the connecting rod is smaller than the outer diameter of the external spline shaft 24, while the diameter of the end of the internal threaded sleeve 22 near the blade 21 is matched with the connecting rod. By tightening the internal threaded sleeve 22, the inserted external spline shaft 24 can be fixed, preventing the external spline shaft 24 from falling out of the internal spline sleeve 23. It is also easy to disassemble, and even if some blades 21 are damaged after long-term use, they can be easily replaced and maintained.

[0030] Please see Figure 5 The container 3 includes a filter bucket 31, brake casters 32, and an outer bucket body 33. Four brake casters 32 arranged in a rectangular array are installed on the lower side of the outer bucket body 33. The filter bucket 31 is placed inside the outer bucket body 33. The filter bucket 31 is a whole made of a metal frame and a metal filter screen welded together, and handles are fixedly installed on both sides to facilitate installation into or removal from the outer bucket body 33.

[0031] The outer barrel 33 can be moved to a designated position and braked by the brake caster 32 to achieve stable placement. After the brake is released, it can move flexibly. Water is placed in the outer barrel 33 and can enter the filter barrel 31, while the fruit can only be placed in the filter barrel 31. After cleaning, the filter barrel 31 can be lifted out directly to quickly separate the fruit from the water.

[0032] The container 3 also includes a valve 35. The bottom of one side of the outer container 33 is connected to the valve 35, which is used to discharge the sewage inside the outer container 33.

[0033] The holding tank 3 also includes a support column 34. One end of the support column 34 is evenly fixed on the inner surface (i.e., the inner circumference and the inner bottom surface) of the outer tank body 33. The other end of the support column 34 abuts against the filter tank 31. The support column 34 allows space to be left between the placed filter tank 31 and the outer tank body 33, which is conducive to the flow of sewage and the deposited impurities can be separated from the original fruit to avoid repeated adhesion.

[0034] The working principle of this embodiment: Before use, adjust the tilt angle of the blades 21 in the stirring assembly 2 according to the type of fruit. Use an appropriate number of containers 3 according to production needs, and put the fruit and water into each container 3 in proportion for later use.

[0035] During operation, a container 3 is moved to the bottom of the equipment cabinet 5. The operation is started by pressing the start button on the controller 11. The electric cylinder 9 drives the crossbeam 6, equipment cabinet 5 and other structures to gradually move down, so that the cleaning brush 1 and stirring assembly 2 can be inserted into the container 3. Then the drive component 7 works, and the water flow generated by the stirring component 2 separates the impurities on the fruit. In addition, the fruit rotating with the water flow will also come into contact with the cleaning brush 1, and the impurities will be further removed by brushing. At the same time, the cleaning brush 1, which can move up and down, can also enhance the turbulence effect and improve the cleaning efficiency. After completion, it is reset. The container 3 is moved out of this work station and placed into the next container 3 for cleaning again, which makes the work more continuous. After the moved container 3 is left to stand for 3 to 5 minutes, the filter 31 inside the outer container 33 can be lifted out to take out the original fruit. The impurities deposited at the bottom will not cause secondary pollution. The wastewater can be drained through valve 35 and reused. This is the first working mode.

[0036] In the second working mode, valve 35 in the holding tank 3 at the workstation is connected to an external sewage recycling pool through a pipe, while the water supply pipe connected to the workshop water supply system extends above the holding tank 3. After cleaning once, the sewage is drained and then filled with clean water through the water supply pipe. Multiple cleanings can be performed as needed.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
