Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing. More specifically, this utility model relates to a chestnut washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Chestnut, also known as chestnut (common name), chestnut (Hebei and other provinces), hairy chestnut (Henan), wind chestnut (Guangdong), is known as the "King of Dried Fruits" and is also called "ginseng fruit" abroad.

[0003] A search revealed a chestnut cleaning machine with publication number CN212437213U. This device involves pouring chestnuts into a drain basket, immersing the basket in a cleaning tank, and then simply rinsing the chestnuts with water from the tank. However, this rinsing method is insufficient to remove impurities and dirt adhering to the chestnut surface, resulting in poor cleaning performance. Therefore, this invention designs a chestnut cleaning machine to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chestnut cleaning machine to solve the problem of poor cleaning effect of existing chestnut cleaning machines mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a chestnut cleaning machine, comprising a housing, a set of electric push rods fixedly connected to the top of the housing, a mounting frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rods, a support plate fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame, a threaded screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame, a movable block threadedly connected to the circumferential side of the threaded screw, the top surface of the movable block slidingly engaging with the mounting frame, three gears rotatably connected to the side of the movable block, two of the gears having rotating rods fixedly connected to their sides, several turning plates fixedly connected to the circumferential side of the rotating rods, a cleaning brush roller fixedly connected to the side of the other gear, a set of teeth provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame, the teeth meshing with the gears, a motor fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame, one end of the motor output shaft fixed to the threaded screw.

[0006] Preferably, the side of the housing is equipped with a water inlet valve and a water outlet valve, and the support plate is provided with several water passage holes.

[0007] Preferably, a protective cover is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting bracket, and the protective cover is located outside the motor.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the box is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the protective cover and the motor.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning roller has several bristles installed on its peripheral side, and the two rotating rods are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cleaning roller.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] During the reciprocating linear motion of the moving block, the cleaning roller rotates continuously, thus using the bristles to clean the surface of the chestnut. The rotating rod also rotates continuously, which can drive the turning plate to flip the chestnut, turning all other sides of the chestnut to the top in turn, so that the bristles can clean the chestnut from all directions. Compared with existing cleaning machines that only use water to rinse chestnuts, this cleaning machine uses bristles to directly brush the surface of the chestnut from all directions, which can significantly improve the cleaning effect.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a chestnut washing machine, including a box body 1, with an inlet valve and a drain valve installed on the side of the box body 1. A set of electric push rods 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1, and a mounting frame 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric push rods 2. A support plate 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame 3, and several water passage holes are opened on the support plate 4. A threaded screw 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. A movable block 6 is threadedly connected to the periphery of the threaded screw 5. The top surface of the movable block 6 is slidably engaged with the mounting frame 3. Three gears 7 are rotatably connected to the side of the movable block 6. Two of the gears 7 are fixedly connected to rotating rods 8, and several turning plates 9 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the rotating rods 8. A cleaning roller 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the other gear 7. Several bristles are installed on the periphery of the cleaning roller 10. The two rotating rods 8 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the cleaning roller 10. A set of teeth 11 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting frame 3. The teeth 11 mesh with the gears 7. A motor is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting frame 3, and one end of the motor output shaft is fixed to the threaded screw 5.

[0025] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a protective cover 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting bracket 3. The protective cover 12 is located outside the motor. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a sliding groove 13 that cooperates with the protective cover 12 and the motor.

[0026] The distance between the cleaning roller 10 and the support plate 4 should be greater than the height of the chestnut, so that the cleaning roller 10 can move smoothly and the bristles can contact the surface of the chestnut.

[0027] After filling the housing 1 with water, chestnuts are poured into the housing 1. The chestnuts will fall onto the support plate 4. Then, the motor is started and controlled to perform periodic forward and reverse rotation. The motor drives the threaded screw 5 to rotate, and the threaded screw 5 drives the moving block 6 to perform reciprocating linear motion. During the movement of the moving block 6, because the gear 7 meshes with the teeth 11, the rotating rod 8 and the cleaning roller 10 will both rotate on their own axis while following the linear motion of the moving block 6. The rotation of the cleaning roller 10 can clean the surface of the chestnuts with the bristles, and the rotation of the rotating rod 8 can drive the material to turn over. Plate 9 flips the chestnuts over, turning each of the chestnuts to the top in turn, allowing the brush bristles to thoroughly clean the chestnuts. Compared to existing cleaning machines that only use water to rinse chestnuts, this cleaning machine uses brush bristles to directly scrub the surface of the chestnuts from all angles, which can significantly improve the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the electric push rod 2 moves the support plate 4 upward to the same height as the upper edge of the box 1, and the pre-prepared receiving box is placed on one side of the box 1. Then, the chestnuts on the support plate 4 can be moved into the receiving box.

[0028] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
