Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of vegetable processing equipment, specifically a vegetable cleaning and impurity removal device. Background Technology

[0002] During the harvesting, transportation, and packaging process, vegetables will be covered with soil, dust, pesticide residues, microorganisms, as well as impurities such as weeds, withered leaves, and plastic film. Traditional cleaning and impurity removal methods mainly rely on manual labor, which is not only inefficient and labor-intensive, but also results in unstable cleaning quality and can easily cause secondary pollution and mechanical damage to vegetables. Therefore, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency of vegetables, people use vegetable cleaning and impurity removal equipment to clean vegetables. Existing vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment sprays high-pressure water onto the surface of vegetables, while simultaneously using a bubble generator to make a large number of bubbles come into contact with the vegetable surface in the water, thereby rinsing the vegetable surface and cleaning and removing impurities. Existing vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment relies on conveyor belts to transport vegetables during the washing process, supplemented by high-pressure water jets to rinse the surface of the vegetables and using bubbles to agitate the vegetables. However, for some heavier vegetables, it is difficult to agitate them using only the bubbles generated by the bubble generator, and it is impossible to rinse the vegetables from multiple angles, resulting in certain cleaning dead zones. Therefore, we propose a vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a vegetable washing and impurity removal device. Through a stirring mechanism, the stirring blocks intermittently squeeze and stir the vegetables as they move on the conveyor belt, thereby causing the vegetables to move or rotate. This exposes different parts of the vegetables to the upper side of the conveyor belt, and combined with high-pressure water flow, the vegetables are washed. This reduces the blind spots in the washing of vegetables, and the washing effect is better. It can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a vegetable washing and cleaning device, comprising a washing tank, a protective shell fixedly connected to the front surface of the washing tank, a drain outlet on the left side of the front surface of the washing tank, and a tossing mechanism; The actuating mechanism includes a material-pushing block, a connecting rod, a first mounting base, a gear, and a second mounting base. The connecting rod is slidably connected to a clearance groove on the upper side of the protective shell. The rear side of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the material-pushing block. The interior of the protective shell is equipped with an adjustable first mounting base. Both the upper and lower surfaces of the first mounting base are fixedly connected to a rack plate. The interior of the second mounting base is fixedly connected to a second mounting base. Both the upper and lower sides of the second mounting base are rotatably connected to a first rotating shaft. The rear side of the outer surface of the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a gear. The gears are all installed in conjunction with the adjacent rack plates on the same side. Through the actuating mechanism, as the vegetables move on the conveyor belt, the material-pushing block intermittently squeezes and actuates the vegetables, causing the vegetables to move or rotate. This exposes different positions of the vegetables on the upper side of the conveyor belt, which, combined with the high-pressure water flow, cleans the vegetables, reducing blind spots in the cleaning process and improving the cleaning effect.

[0005] Furthermore, a control switch group is installed outside the cleaning tank, and the input terminal of the control switch group is electrically connected to an external power source to control the operation of electrical appliances.

[0006] Furthermore, the actuating mechanism also includes bevel gear one and bevel gear two. A rotating shaft two is rotatably connected to the inner front surface of the protective shell. Bevel gear two is fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of the rotating shaft two. Bevel gear one is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer surface of the rotating shaft one. Each bevel gear one meshes with the adjacent bevel gear two on the same side. A motor one is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protective shell. The upper end of the output shaft of the motor one is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft two. The input end of the motor one is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to provide driving force so that the two gears rotate synchronously.

[0007] Furthermore, the actuating mechanism also includes a slider, a fixing pin, a turntable, and a limiting groove. The slider is slidably connected to the inside left side of the protective shell, and the mounting base is slidably connected to the rear surface of the slider. The fixing pin is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slider. The turntable is rotatably connected to the inside front side of the protective shell. A limiting groove is formed on the rear surface of the turntable. The front end of the fixing pin is slidably connected to the limiting groove.

The rear end of the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the front surface of the turntable. The input end of the second motor is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to provide driving force.

[0008] Furthermore, the washing tank is internally connected with evenly distributed rotating rollers, which are connected by a conveyor belt. The outer surface of the conveyor belt has evenly distributed openings, and evenly distributed baffles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt. A motor is fixedly connected to the left side of the front surface of the washing tank. The rear end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the front end of the leftmost rotating roller. The input end of the motor is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group to transport the vegetables.

[0009] Furthermore, a bubble generator is fixedly connected to the right surface of the washing pool, and an air supply pipe is fixedly connected to the lower inside of the washing pool. The upper surface of the air supply pipe has evenly distributed air outlets. The air outlet of the bubble generator is connected to the right end of the air supply pipe, and the input end of the bubble generator is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group, so that bubbles are generated in the washing pool to clean the vegetables.

[0010] Furthermore, a diversion channel is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper surface of the washing pool, and a uniformly distributed water supply pipe is fixedly connected to the front surface of the diversion channel. A uniformly distributed high-pressure nozzle is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water supply pipe to guide high-pressure water to be sprayed onto the surface of the vegetables.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment has the following advantages: The agitating mechanism causes the vegetables to move on the conveyor belt. The agitating blocks intermittently squeeze and agitate the vegetables, causing them to move or rotate.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a vegetable washing and cleaning device, including a washing tank 1, a protective shell 3 fixedly connected to the front surface of the washing tank 1, a drain outlet 2 opened on the left side of the front surface of the washing tank 1 (a valve is connected in series inside the drain outlet 2, when the valve is opened, the water flowing into the washing tank 1 from the external high-pressure water pipe is approximately equal to the water discharged from the drain outlet 2, and the discharged water can be filtered and pressurized again before being transported to the washing tank 1 for vegetable washing), a control switch group 15 is provided on the outside of the washing tank 1, the input end of the control switch group 15 is electrically connected to an external power supply, and a toggle mechanism 9 is also included; Actuating mechanism: It includes a feeding block 901, a connecting rod 902, a first mounting base 903, a gear 904, and a second mounting base 905. The connecting rod 902 is slidably connected to the clearance groove on the upper side of the protective shell 3. The feeding block 901 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting rod 902. The protective shell 3 is provided with an adjustable first mounting base 903. The upper and lower surfaces of the first mounting base 903 are fixedly connected with rack plates. The protective shell 3 is fixedly connected with a second mounting base 905. The upper and lower sides of the second mounting base 905 are rotatably connected with a first rotating shaft. The rear side of the outer surface of the first rotating shaft is fixedly connected with a gear 904. The gears 904 are all installed in cooperation with the adjacent rack plates on the same side. The actuating mechanism also includes bevel gear 1 906 and bevel gear 2 907. The inner front surface of the protective shell 3 is rotatably connected to shaft 2. Both the upper and lower sides of the outer surface of shaft 2 are fixedly connected to bevel gear 2 907. Both the outer front sides of shaft 1 are fixedly connected to bevel gear 1 906. Bevel gear 1 906 meshes with the adjacent bevel gear 2 907 on the same side. The lower surface of the protective shell 3 is fixedly connected to motor 12. The upper end of the output shaft of motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of shaft 2. The input end of motor 12 is electrically connected to the output end of control switch group 15. Gear 904, bevel gear 1 906, bevel gear 2 907 and rack plate are all located inside the protective shell 3, thereby protecting gear 904, bevel gear 1 906, bevel gear 2 907 and rack plate, and preventing external impurities from adhering to the surface of gear 904, bevel gear 1 906, bevel gear 2 907 and rack plate, thus affecting the transmission. The actuating mechanism also includes a slider 908, a fixing pin 909, a turntable 910, and a limiting groove 911. The slider 908 is slidably connected to the inside left side of the protective shell 3. The mounting base 903 is slidably connected to the rear surface of the slider 908. The fixing pin 909 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the slider 908. The turntable 910 is rotatably connected to the inside front side of the protective shell 3. The limiting groove 911 is opened on the rear surface of the turntable 910. The front end of the fixing pin 909 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 911. The motor 13 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the protective shell 3. The rear end of the output shaft of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front surface of the turntable 910. The input end of the motor 13 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 15. Operating control switch group 15 starts motor one 12 and motor two 13. The output shaft of motor one 12 rotates, driving shaft two to rotate, causing bevel gear two 907 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear one 906 to rotate, causing shaft one to rotate, which in turn drives gear 904 to rotate. The output shaft of motor two 13 rotates, driving turntable 910 to rotate, causing the limiting groove 911 to rotate around the central axis of turntable 910 (the limiting groove 911 is formed by connecting two arc-shaped slots of different radii). When the fixing pin 909 is located in the arc-shaped slot with the larger radius, the slider 908 is at the uppermost position, causing the mounting base one 903 to be at the uppermost position. At this time, the upper rack plate meshes with the upper gear 904, causing the upper rack plate to move to the left, driving the mounting base one 903 to rotate. When mounting base 903 moves to the left, connecting rod 902 moves to the left, causing material feeding block 901 to move to the left. When fixing pin 909 moves from the arc-shaped slot with a larger radius to the arc-shaped slot with a smaller radius, fixing pin 909 moves downward, causing slider 908 to move downward, causing mounting base 903 to move downward, causing connecting rod 902 to move downward, causing material feeding block 901 to move downward and squeeze vegetables. At this time, the upper rack plate separates from the upper gear 904, and the lower rack plate meshes with the lower gear 904, causing the lower rack plate to move to the right, thereby causing material feeding block 901 to move to the right, thus moving the vegetables between material feeding block 901 and conveyor belt 7. The washing tank 1 is internally connected to evenly distributed rotating rollers 16, which are connected by a conveyor belt 7. The outer surface of the conveyor belt 7 has evenly distributed openings. A suitable amount of clean water is added to the washing tank 1 so that the water level in the washing tank 1 is slightly higher than the bottom of the conveyor belt 7. Evenly distributed baffles 8 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the conveyor belt 7. When vegetables are placed on the right side of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7, the baffles 8 provide a certain blocking effect to prevent the vegetables from rolling to the left side of the conveyor belt 7. The front left side of the washing tank 1 is fixedly connected to a motor 3 14. The rear end of the output shaft of the motor 3 14 is fixedly connected to the front end of the leftmost rotating roller 16. The input end of the motor 3 14 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 15. When the control switch group 15 is operated, the motor 3 14 is started. The output shaft of the motor 3 14 rotates, which drives the leftmost rotating roller 16 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 7 to rotate and moving the vegetables to the left along the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. A bubble generator 10 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the cleaning tank 1. An air supply pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower inside of the cleaning tank 1. The upper surface of the air supply pipe 11 has evenly distributed air outlets. The air outlet of the bubble generator 10 is connected to the right end of the air supply pipe 11. The input end of the bubble generator 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 15. When the control switch group 15 is operated, the bubble generator 10 is started. The bubble generator 10 compresses the external air and delivers it into the air supply pipe 11. When the compressed air is discharged through the air outlet on the upper side of the air supply pipe 11, it is divided into individual bubbles and released into the cleaning tank 1. A diversion channel 4 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper surface of the cleaning tank 1. A uniformly distributed water supply pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the diversion channel 4. A uniformly distributed high-pressure nozzle 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the water supply pipe 5. (The diversion channel 4 is a tank structure with a flow cavity. Water supply pipes 5 are connected to the evenly distributed diversion ports on the front surface of the diversion channel 4. Evenly distributed water outlets are opened on the lower surface of the water supply pipes 5, and high-pressure nozzles 6 are installed at each water outlet.) An external high-pressure water pipe is connected to the diversion channel 4, and high-pressure water enters the water supply pipe 5 through the diversion channel 4. Then, the water is sprayed downwards through the high-pressure nozzle 6. When the vegetables move to the lower side of the water pipe 5, the high-pressure nozzle 6 sprays high-pressure water upwards to rinse the surface of the vegetables. At the same time, since the water level in the washing tank 1 is slightly higher than the bottom of the conveyor belt 7, a portion of the vegetables is located below the water level in the washing tank 1. At this time, the air bubbles in the water in the washing tank 1 rise continuously and come into contact with the surface of the vegetables, forming a continuous and gentle scouring and shearing force on the surface of the vegetables, thereby removing dust and other impurities from the surface of the vegetables.

[0016] The working principle of the vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment provided by this utility model is as follows: When using this vegetable washing and impurity removal equipment to wash vegetables (such as lettuce), add an appropriate amount of clean water into the washing tank 1 so that the water level in the washing tank 1 is slightly higher than the bottom of the conveyor belt 7. Place the vegetables on the right side of the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. The baffle 8 provides a certain blocking effect for the vegetables to prevent them from rolling to the left side of the conveyor belt 7. Connect the external high-pressure water pipe to the diversion trough 4. The high-pressure water enters the water supply pipe 5 through the diversion trough 4 and then sprays downward through the high-pressure nozzle 6. Operate the control switch group 15 to start the bubble generator 10. The bubble generator 10 compresses the external air and delivers it to the air supply pipe 11. The compressed air passes through the air supply pipe 11. When the air is released from the upper vent, it is broken into individual bubbles and released into the washing tank 1. The control switch group 15 is operated to start motor 3 14. The output shaft of motor 3 14 rotates, driving the leftmost rotating roller 16 to rotate, causing the conveyor belt 7 to rotate. This causes the vegetables to move to the left along the upper surface of the conveyor belt 7. When the vegetables move to the lower side of the water pipe 5, the high-pressure nozzle 6 sprays high-pressure water onto the upper side of the vegetables, rinsing their surface. Simultaneously, because the water level in the washing tank 1 is slightly higher than the lowermost side of the conveyor belt 7, a portion of the vegetables is below the water level in the washing tank 1. At this time, the bubbles in the water in the washing tank 1 continuously rise and contact the surface of the vegetables, creating a continuous, gentle scouring and shearing force on the vegetable surface, thus cleaning the vegetable surface. Dust and other impurities are removed. Operation control switch group 15 starts motor one 12 and motor two 13. The output shaft of motor one 12 rotates, driving shaft two to rotate, causing bevel gear two 907 to rotate, which in turn drives bevel gear one 906 to rotate, causing shaft one to rotate, which in turn drives gear 904 to rotate. The output shaft of motor two 13 rotates, driving turntable 910 to rotate, causing the limiting groove 911 to rotate around the central axis of turntable 910 (the limiting groove 911 is formed by connecting two arc-shaped slots of different radii). When the fixing pin 909 is located in the arc-shaped slot with the larger radius, the slider 908 is at the uppermost position, causing mounting seat one 903 to be at the uppermost position. At this time, the upper rack plate meshes with the upper gear 904, causing the upper rack plate to move to the left, driving mounting seat one 903... Moving to the left causes the connecting rod 902 to move to the left, which in turn moves the material-feeding block 901 to the left. When the fixing pin 909 moves from the arc-shaped slot with a larger radius to the arc-shaped slot with a smaller radius, the fixing pin 909 moves downward, causing the slider 908 to move downward, which in turn moves the mounting base 903 downward, causing the connecting rod 902 to move downward. This causes the material-feeding block 901 to move downward and squeeze the vegetables. At this time, the upper rack plate separates from the upper gear 904, and the lower rack plate meshes with the lower gear 904, causing the lower rack plate to move to the right. This, in turn, moves the material-feeding block 901 to the right, thereby moving the vegetables between the material-feeding block 901 and the conveyor belt 7. This allows the vegetables to move, and the high-pressure water flow to wash multiple parts of the vegetables.The vegetables are then moved to the left side of conveyor belt 7, where they are removed and the washing process is complete.

[0017] It is worth noting that the bubble generator 10 disclosed in the above embodiments can be the bubble generator inside the WQ series bubble cleaning machine, the motor 12 can be YE2-80M2-2-B14, the motor 2 13 can be YVF2-802-2-B5, and the motor 3 14 can be YS-90S-2-B3. The control switch group 15 is provided with control buttons that correspond one-to-one with the bubble generator 10, the motor 12, the motor 2 13 and the motor 3 14 and are used to control their switching.
