Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dewaxing, and in particular to a dewaxing device for pomelos. Background Technology

[0002] Dewaxing is a crucial step in the production, processing, and sale of pomelos. The waxy layer on the pomelo peel may be a natural wax secreted by the fruit itself, protecting it from environmental damage, reducing moisture loss, and maintaining its freshness and quality. However, during storage and transportation, an edible wax may be artificially applied to extend shelf life and enhance appearance. Regardless of whether the wax is natural or artificially applied, dewaxing is often necessary before further processing or direct sale to consumers.

[0003] Current methods for dewaxing pomelos typically involve manual dewaxing, relying mainly on workers to repeatedly wipe the surface of the pomelos with brushes or cloths, or using a single cleaning device to clean the surface of the pomelos.

[0004] However, some existing equipment only uses a single brush roller washing method, making it difficult to accurately control the movement trajectory and residence time of pomelos within the equipment. This can easily lead to some pomelos not being completely dewaxed, while others suffer damage to the peel due to excessive washing. Therefore, a pomelos dewaxing treatment device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a pomelo dewaxing device, which aims to improve the problem of the difficulty in accurately controlling the movement trajectory and residence time of pomelos in the equipment in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pomelo dewaxing treatment device, comprising a box body, a brush roller rotatably connected to the inner wall of the box body, a water pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, a nozzle fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the water pipe, a baffle fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body, a sliding groove formed on the inner side wall of the baffle, a slider slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider, a support plate slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a clearance groove formed on the inner wall of the front part of the support plate, an electric push rod hinged and slidably connected to the bottom of the support plate, and a water baffle plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the box body.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: The top of the box is hinged to a top cover, and a water immersion tank is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: The nozzle is inserted through and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: The end of the rotating shaft is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove, and the rotating shaft is slidably connected to the inner wall of the allowance groove.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: The side wall of the tray is slidably connected to the inner wall of the baffle.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: The bottom of the electric actuator is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the housing.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this utility model, the tray is driven by an electric actuator to achieve three form switching, so that the pomelo can stay in the brush cleaning area and the water rinsing cleaning area in an orderly manner and be automatically transported to the immersion tank. This realizes the semi-automatic flow of the dewaxing process, greatly reduces manual intervention, avoids efficiency fluctuations caused by manual operation, can better adapt to large-scale pomelo processing scenarios, and effectively improve the production efficiency of enterprises.

[0013] 2. In this utility model, through the synergistic action of the brush roller and the spray nozzle, the rotating brush roller is first used to specifically scrub the surface of the pomelo to remove the softened wax layer. Then, the flowing water sprayed by the spray nozzle rinses away residual impurities for the second time. Combined with the warm water in the immersion pool, it forms a multi-step cleaning process, which significantly improves the thoroughness and uniformity of dewaxing. The entire dewaxing process adopts a physical method, without the use of chemical reagents, thus avoiding the risk of chemical residues from the root. It strictly follows the green and safe food processing concept, providing a reliable safety guarantee for the subsequent processing or direct consumption of pomelo. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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.

[0017] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a pomelo dewaxing device, comprising a housing 1, which is the entire dewaxing device with a sloping top for guiding the pomelo. Four sets of brush rollers 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. An external transmission assembly is provided to provide rotational capability for the brush rollers 2. The brush rollers 2 contact and brush the surface of the pomelo, focusing on areas with a noticeable waxy sheen, removing the softened wax layer through friction. A water pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the water pipe 21 is externally connected to a water source and a water pump for delivering water to a spray nozzle 22. At the location, a nozzle 22 is fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the water pipe 21. There are eight sets of nozzles 22, which can be set according to actual needs. They are used to spray flowing water through the nozzles 22 to rinse away residual wax and impurities. A top cover 4 is hinged to the top of the box 1. The top cover 4 is used to close the top of the box 1 to prevent the brush roller 2 from rotating and causing impurities to splash. A water immersion tank 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the box 1. The water immersion tank 41 is used to soak the pomelo, which is convenient for workers to check the cleaning status and provide workers with a water source for cleaning again. The water temperature needs to be maintained at about 45℃. The cleaning nozzle 22 is connected through and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the baffle 3.

[0018] Reference Figures 3-5A baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The baffle 3 is used to isolate the cleaning area. A groove 31 is opened on the inner side wall of the baffle 3. The groove 31 is used to keep the slider 32 moving stably vertically along the groove 31. The slider 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 31. The slider 32 is used to engage with the groove 31 to keep the support plate 34 moving stably vertically. A rotating shaft 33 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slider 32. Two sets of rotating shafts 33 are set and located on the inner walls of both ends of the support plate 34. The support plate 34 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 33. The support plate 34 has three forms through the electric push rod 36. The first form places the support plate 34 at the horizontal bottom of the brush roller 2, so that the grapefruit can stay in the brush cleaning area and improve the cleaning quality. The second form places the support plate 34 at the horizontal bottom of the nozzle 22, so that the grapefruit can stay in the water rinsing cleaning area and improve the rinsing quality. The third form places the support plate 34 at the horizontal bottom of the nozzle 22. The front of the tray 34 is tilted downwards, allowing the pomelo to slide down into the immersion pool 41. The inner wall of the front of the tray 34 has a clearance groove 35, which provides movement space for the rotating shaft 33 when the tray 34 is tilted downwards. The bottom of the tray 34 is hinged and slidably connected to an electric actuator 36. The electric actuator 36 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. It is used to drive the tray 34 to move up and down. The bottom inner wall of the box 1 is fixedly connected to a baffle plate 37, which is used to isolate the box 1 from the immersion pool 41, so that the inside of the box 1 is a wastewater pool and avoids communication with the water source in the immersion pool 41. The end of the rotating shaft 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 31. The rotating shaft 33 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the clearance groove 35. The side wall of the tray 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the baffle plate 3. The bottom of the electric actuator 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the box 1.

[0019] Working principle: First, open the top cover 4 and place the pomelo to be processed into the device through the inclined surface at the top of the box 1. At this time, the electric push rod 36 is in the initial state, driving the tray 34 to be located at the horizontal bottom of the brush roller 2. The pomelo falls onto the tray 34, completing the loading. Then, the top cover 4 is closed to prevent impurities from splashing when the brush roller 2 rotates. The external transmission component is started, driving the four sets of brush rollers 2 to rotate. At the same time, the water pump works, delivering water to the eight sets of nozzles 22 through the water pipe 21. The nozzles 22 spray flowing water onto the surface of the pomelo. The pomelo comes into contact with the rotating brush roller 2 on the tray 34. The brush roller 2 brushes the surface of the pomelo, focusing on areas with obvious waxy luster. The wax layer softened by the water flow is removed through friction. The wastewater after the initial cleaning is blocked by the baffle plate 37 in the wastewater pool formed at the bottom of the box 1, preventing communication with the soaking pool 41.

[0020] After the brush roller 2 finishes brushing, the electric actuator 36 is activated, driving the support plate 34 to move upward along the groove 31 on the inner side wall of the baffle 3. The slider 32 and the rotating shaft 33 then slide within the groove 31 until the support plate 34 is at the horizontal bottom of the nozzle 22. At this time, the nozzle 22 continuously sprays flowing water to perform a secondary rinse on the residual wax and impurities on the surface of the pomelo, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0021] After rinsing, the electric actuator 36 continues to move, causing the front of the tray 34 to tilt downwards. During this process, the rotating shaft 33 slides within the allowance groove 35 on the inner wall of the front of the tray 34, providing space for the tray 34 to tilt. The tilted tray 34 guides the pomelos and allows them to slide into the immersion pool 41 on the outer wall of the box 1. The immersion pool 41 maintains warm water at approximately 45°C, which facilitates workers in checking the cleaning status of the pomelos and allows for further cleaning of the pomelos with warm water to ensure effective dewaxing.

[0022] Throughout the process, the baffle 3 isolates the cleaning area, and the tray 34 switches between three modes via the electric push rod 36, respectively completing the pomelos' stay in the brush cleaning area, the water rinsing cleaning area, and the transport to the immersion pool 41, thereby efficiently completing the dewaxing process of the pomelos.

[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
