[0013] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a chili washing and draining device includes a washing section 20, a draining section 30, and a rotating air-drying section 40.

[0014] The cleaning unit 20 includes a cleaning tank 201 and several spray pipes 202 installed on the cleaning tank 201. An airflow pipe 203 is provided in the cleaning tank, and the airflow pipe 203 is connected to an air blower 204. Air bubbles are sprayed out through the airflow nozzles on the airflow pipe 203. A water outlet is provided on the side of the cleaning tank 201. The spray pipes 202 are connected to an external water source through a water pump. During cleaning, the air bubbles sprayed out by the airflow nozzles burst during their ascent, generating a huge impact force that causes the material to tumble continuously, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning.

[0015] The drain section 30 includes a drain box 301 and a first conveyor belt 302. The first conveyor belt 302 is located inside the drain box 301 and a portion of it extends and is submerged in water. A baffle plate 303 is provided on the first conveyor belt 302. The rotating air dryer 40 includes an air dryer frame 401, a second conveyor belt 402, and a swing blower mechanism. The second conveyor belt 402 is arranged in a three-stage stepped belt configuration. The swing blower mechanism includes a blower 403 mounted on each stepped belt and a swing control mechanism 405 for controlling the back-and-forth swing of the blower 403. A bracket 404 is fixed on the air dryer frame 401, and both the blower 403 and the swing control mechanism 405 are mounted on the bracket 404.

[0016] The first and second steps of the three-stage stepped conveyor belt, 4021 and 4022, are both inclined at an angle of 15 degrees, while the third step, 4023, is horizontal. Specifically, the drive mechanism of the three-stage stepped conveyor belt is as follows: the driven pulley at the tail of the first-stage stepped conveyor belt 4021 is connected to the driven pulley at the front of the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022; the driven pulley at the tail of the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022 is connected to the driven shaft at the front of the third-stage stepped conveyor belt 4023; the driving pulley at the tail of the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022 is connected to the driven pulley at the front of the first-stage stepped conveyor belt 4021; and the conveying shaft of the geared motor is connected to the driving shaft of the driving pulley via a coupling. By using a three-stage stepped conveyor belt system, the blower 403 on the first-stage stepped conveyor belt 4021 initially dries the surface moisture of the material. When the material falls from the first-stage stepped conveyor belt 4021 into the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022, it is tumbled, and the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022 dries the surface moisture of the tumbled material. When the material falls from the second-stage stepped conveyor belt 4022 into the third-stage stepped conveyor belt 4023, it is tumbled again, and the third-stage stepped conveyor belt further dries the surface moisture. This multi-stage stepped conveyor system ensures that the material is tumbled multiple times, resulting in more even drying.

[0017] The washing section 20 also includes a turning roller 205, which is disposed inside the washing tank 201 and rotatably connected to both sides of the washing tank. A drive mechanism for rotating the turning roller 205 is provided on the outer side of the washing tank. The surface of the turning roller 205 is provided with several silicone teeth 2051. The rotating turning roller 205 agitates the chili peppers in the washing tank 201, removing surface residue. The silicone teeth 2051 effectively prevent damage to the chili peppers during the washing process.

[0018] The swing control mechanism includes a sliding frame 4051, a gear 4055, a rack 4056, and a cylinder 4057 that pushes the sliding frame 4051 to reciprocate left and right. The sliding frame 4051 has a U-shaped structure, and its two sides are slidably connected to the top two sides of the support 404. The support 404 has a crossbeam 4053 corresponding to each step of the mesh belt. The two ends of the crossbeam 4053 are rotatably connected to the bearing seats 4052 on both sides of the support 404 through a rotating shaft 4054. The blower 403 is fixed on the crossbeam 4053. The gear 4055 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 4054. The top of the sliding frame 4051 is provided with a rack 4056 that meshes with each gear 4055. The cylinder 4057 is horizontally fixed to the top of the support 404, and the telescopic end of the cylinder 4057 is connected to the sliding frame 4051. By extending and retracting the cylinder 4057, the sliding frame 4051 can be pushed to move back and forth on the bracket 404, thereby driving the crossbeam 4053 to rotate through the gear 4055, so that the blower 403 on the crossbeam 4053 swings left and right to blow air, realizing multi-angle air blowing, changing the traditional single-direction air supply, and making the air drying more uniform.

[0019] The system also includes a vibration removal mechanism 10, which comprises a vibrating screen 101. The vibrating screen 101 has a discharge port at one end near the washing tank, and an air separation chamber 102 is located at the discharge port. The lower part of the air separation chamber 102 has an interconnected removal discharge port 103 and a material discharge port 104. A sorting fan 105 is located on the right side of the air separation chamber 102, and the air outlet of the sorting fan 105 blows towards the removal discharge port 103. The vibrating screen 101 can evenly distribute the material through vibration and remove small particles such as mud and sand. The screened material is then sent to the air separation chamber 102 to remove impurities such as leaves and stems through air separation.

[0020] This invention processes chili peppers sequentially through a vibration removal mechanism 10, a washing section 20, a draining section 30, and a rotating air dryer 40. First, the vibrating screen 101 distributes the material evenly and removes small particles. Then, the air separation method removes leaves, stems, and other impurities. Next, the chili peppers are sent to the washing tank 201, where the rotating roller 205 agitates the peppers, accelerating the removal of dirt and other debris. Then, the air jets from the nozzles burst during their ascent, generating a powerful impact that continuously tumbles and washes the material, resulting in a cleaner finish. After washing, the chili peppers are conveyed by the first conveyor belt of the washing section 20 and initially drained before being sent to the rotating air dryer 40. A three-stage stepped mesh belt tumbles the material multiple times. During the conveying process of each stage of the mesh belt, the blowers 403 on each stage continuously oscillate left and right to change the blowing angle and air dry the surface of the chili peppers, improving drying efficiency and ensuring more uniform drying.

[0021] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
