Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of jam raw material processing equipment, specifically a jam raw material cleaning device with impurity separation function. Background Technology

[0002] In the jam production process, cleaning the raw materials (such as fruits and berries) is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and food safety. The surface of raw materials often contains impurities such as dirt, sand, hair, microorganisms, and pesticide residues. If cleaning is not thorough, it will not only affect the taste and color of the jam but may also pose food safety risks.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN221082643U that discloses a raw material cleaning device for jam processing. By setting up a cleaning processing component and an auxiliary processing component, the processing and storage box is moved forward into the cleaning device after being removed from the pesticide residue soaking treatment device for cleaning. After cleaning, the processing and storage box is moved out into the drying device for drying. The auxiliary processing component processes the raw materials in sequence by moving, avoiding the need for workers to repeatedly move and transfer the fruit raw materials in the processing and storage box.

[0004] Existing mechanical cleaning devices mostly employ agitation, spraying, or immersion structures. Agitation cleaning achieves cleaning by mixing the raw material with water, but the raw material is easily damaged by excessive agitation, and impurities easily re-adhere to the surface of the raw material, resulting in poor separation. Spraying cleaning uses high-pressure water jets to rinse the raw material, which can reduce damage, but its effectiveness in removing impurities from crevices or depressions in the raw material is limited, and it consumes a large amount of water. Immersion cleaning removes impurities by soaking the raw material in water, but impurities easily settle at the bottom of the equipment, requiring frequent water changes or manual cleaning, otherwise secondary pollution may occur. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned background technology, there are shortcomings and defects in the existing technology, such as incomplete impurity separation, limited cleaning effect, and low water resource utilization.

[0006] The present invention discloses a jam raw material cleaning device with impurity separation function, including a cleaning bucket, a fixed frame inside the cleaning bucket, a filter screen on the fixed frame, a fixed plate between the cleaning bucket and the fixed frame, a cleaning component on the fixed plate, and the fixed plate being rotatably connected to the cleaning bucket via a rotating shaft, one end of which is provided with a drive source.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning component includes a scraper, which is mounted on one side of the fixing plate, and a cleaning brush is provided on the other side of the fixing plate. The scraper contacts the inner wall of the cleaning bucket, and the cleaning brush contacts the fixing frame and the filter screen.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing frame is cylindrical, with a fixing cylinder in the middle. The lower end of the fixing cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixing frame. An aeration pipe is provided inside the fixing cylinder, and both ends of the aeration pipe are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixing cylinder. Both the fixing cylinder and the aeration pipe have through holes. A cover plate is provided at the upper end of the cleaning tank, and a connecting pipe is installed on the cover plate. One end of the connecting pipe is inserted into the aeration pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to an external air tank.

[0009] Furthermore, a circulation box is installed on one side of the cleaning bucket, and a filter plate is installed inside the circulation box. The upper end of the circulation box is connected to the water inlet pipe at the lower end of the cleaning bucket, and the lower end of the circulation box is connected to the upper part of the cleaning bucket through a water outlet pipe. A water pump is installed on the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing plate is configured as a "U" shape, with the middle part of the fixing plate fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the two ends of the fixing plate are symmetrically arranged.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the fixing frame is fixedly connected to the cleaning bucket by fixing bolts, and multiple fixing bolts are provided and evenly distributed.

[0012] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided between the rotating shaft and the cleaning bucket, and the upper end of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed frame through a bearing.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model achieves preliminary separation of raw materials and impurities by setting up a filter screen. With the help of a rotatable fixed plate and its cleaning brush, the surface of the fixed frame and filter screen can be cleaned to prevent impurities from adhering and clogging. At the same time, the scraper can clean the impurities remaining on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, reducing the risk of secondary pollution. In addition, the gas introduced into the fixed cylinder and aeration pipe generates bubbles, which can drive the raw materials to turn over, enhance the contact between the raw materials and water, and improve the removal effect of impurities in the gaps. This solves the problems of existing stirring-type cleaning which easily damages raw materials and spray-type cleaning which is insufficient in removing impurities from gaps.

[0015] 2. The circulation tank on one side of the cleaning bucket of this utility model forms a water circulation with the cleaning bucket through the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe. The filter plate in the circulation tank can filter and purify the water after use, so that the water can be reused for cleaning, reducing water waste and solving the problem of frequent water changes and high water consumption in existing soaking cleaning. At the same time, the automated drive of each component of the device reduces manual cleaning and water changing operations, and improves cleaning efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Both the fixed cylinder 7 and the aeration pipe 8 are provided with through holes 9. The aeration pipe 8 is made of high-pressure resistant rubber. The diameter of the through hole 9 on the fixed cylinder 7 is larger than that on the aeration pipe 8. The upper end of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a cover plate 10. The contact edge between the cover plate 10 and the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a silicone sealing strip to enhance the sealing performance and reduce noise and water vapor leakage. A connecting pipe 11 is installed on the cover plate 10. One end of the connecting pipe 11 is inserted into the aeration pipe 8. A sealing ring is provided at the insertion point of the connecting pipe 11 and the aeration pipe 8 to prevent air leakage. The other end of the connecting pipe 11 is connected to an external air tank.

[0027] A filter screen 3 is installed on the fixed frame 2. The filter screen 3 is made of 304 stainless steel mesh. The mesh diameter is set according to the size of the raw material. The edge is connected to the fixed frame 2 by buckles for easy disassembly and cleaning. A fixed plate 4 is installed between the cleaning bucket 1 and the fixed frame 2.

A sealing ring is installed between the rotating shaft 12 and the cleaning bucket 1. The upper end of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 2 through a bearing.

[0028] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the fixing plate 4 is set in a "U" shape. The middle part of the fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12. The two ends of the fixing plate 4 are symmetrically arranged. The cleaning component includes a scraper 6. The scraper 6 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 4. The scraper 6 is made of food-grade silicone material to ensure that impurities are removed without damaging the barrel wall. A cleaning brush 5 is provided on the other side of the fixing plate 4. The cleaning brush 5 is in contact with the fixing frame 2 and the filter screen 3.

[0029] The scraper 6 contacts the inner wall of the cleaning bucket 1. The bristles of the cleaning brush 5 are made of nylon and are arranged in a spiral shape. The length is slightly longer than the distance between the fixed plate 4 and the filter screen 3 to ensure gentle cleaning of the raw material surface and avoid scratching the fruit peel. One end of the rotating shaft 12 is equipped with a drive source 13, which is a servo motor. The rotating shaft 12 is connected to the rotating shaft 12 through a reducer to realize speed adjustment.

[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: First, place the jam raw material to be cleaned on the fixed rack 2 inside the cleaning bucket 1, with the raw material located between the filter screen 3 and the fixed cylinder 7; cover the lid 10, and connect the connecting pipe 11 on the lid 10 to the aeration pipe 8 inside the fixed cylinder 7; add an appropriate amount of clean water to the cleaning bucket 1 until the raw material is submerged; start the external air tank, and the gas enters the aeration pipe 8 through the connecting pipe 11 and is discharged through the through hole 9 on the fixed cylinder 7 and the aeration pipe 8; as the bubbles rise in the water, they cause the raw material to turn over, enhancing the contact between the raw material and the water, so that the dirt, sand and other impurities on the surface of the raw material are initially separated, thus achieving the initial separation of the raw material from the impurities;

[0031] Start the drive source 13 at one end of the rotating shaft 12. The drive source 13 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed plate 4 to rotate. When the fixed plate 4 rotates, the cleaning brush 5 on one side contacts the fixed frame 2, the filter screen 3 and the surface of the raw material to clean the residual impurities on the surface of the raw material, while preventing the impurities from clogging the filter screen 3. The scraper (6) on the other side contacts the inner wall of the cleaning bucket 1 to scrape off the impurities attached to the inner wall and prevent the impurities from being re-attached to the surface of the raw material.

[0032] Start the water pumps on the inlet pipe 16 and the outlet pipe 17 to allow the water in the cleaning bucket 1 to flow into the circulation tank 14 through the inlet pipe 16; the filter plate 15 in the circulation tank 14 filters the water flow to remove small impurities in the water; the filtered water flows back to the top of the cleaning bucket 1 through the outlet pipe 17 to realize the recycling of water resources and reduce water consumption during the cleaning process.

[0033] After cleaning for a period of time, turn off the drive source 13, air tank and water pump; remove the fixing bracket 2 by fixing bolts, take out the cleaned jam raw materials, and complete the cleaning operation.
