Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mushroom processing equipment, specifically a rinsing mechanism for sliced mushrooms after processing. Background Technology
[0002] Mushrooms (such as shiitake, oyster, and portobello mushrooms) are widely used in the food processing industry due to their rich nutritional content and unique flavor. The rinsing process after slicing mushrooms is a crucial step in ensuring product quality. Its core objectives include: removing dirt, gills, and other impurities from the slices; inhibiting enzymatic browning; reducing residual sulfite content after color-protecting treatment; and minimizing nutrient loss through precise temperature control.
[0003] With the industrialization and large-scale development of the mushroom processing industry, traditional rinsing mechanisms have certain technical defects: traditional multi-stage rinsing tanks are mostly independently designed, lacking effective sealing connections and gradient layouts between tanks, which requires manual assistance to transfer materials between each tank level, not only reducing production efficiency but also easily causing secondary pollution of materials; at the same time, the sealing structure at the junction of the conveyor belt through the tank is simple, relying only on a single baffle or gap seal, making it easy for rinsing liquid to leak out, polluting the workshop environment and wasting water resources. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a rinsing mechanism for sliced mushrooms. This addresses the issues of rinsing tanks often being independently designed with a lack of effective sealing connections and gradient layouts, requiring manual assistance for material transfer between tanks. This not only reduces production efficiency but also easily causes secondary contamination of the materials. Furthermore, the simple sealing structure at the clearance points where the conveyor belt penetrates the tanks, relying solely on a single baffle or gap seal, makes rinsing liquid prone to leakage, polluting the workshop environment and wasting water resources. In this new mechanism, materials enter the series conveyor belt from the pre-washing tank feed end, flowing sequentially through the desulfurization tank and clear water tank via height gradient and conveyor belt power. Then, via an integrated conveyor belt, they enter the steam box and rinsing tank. No manual transfer is required throughout the process. Water in the water seal tank is continuously sprayed into the clearance trough through water seal nozzles, forming a liquid seal barrier.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rinsing mechanism for processed and sliced mushrooms, comprising a pool assembly, a water seal assembly, a desulfurization assembly, a cleaning assembly, and a steam assembly. The pool assembly includes a pre-washing pool, a series conveyor belt, and an integrated conveyor belt. The water seal assembly includes a water pump, a diversion pipe, and a water seal box. The desulfurization assembly includes a turning roller. The cleaning assembly includes a water storage layer. The steam assembly includes a steam box. One end of the pre-washing pool is connected to the desulfurization pool via a sealed welding method. The end of the desulfurization pool away from the pre-washing pool is connected to a clear water pool via a sealed welding method. The end of the clear water pool away from the desulfurization pool is connected to the main body of the steam box via a flange. The end of the steam box main body away from the clear water pool is connected to a rinsing pool via a flange. Water seal grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the top of the pre-washing pool, the desulfurization pool, the clear water pool, the main body of the steam box, and the rinsing pool. Relief grooves are symmetrically provided on both sides of the side walls of the pre-washing pool, the desulfurization pool, the clear water pool, the main body of the steam box, and the rinsing pool. A water supply pipe is connected to the water pump outlet via a flange.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: After the water pump is started, the water in the corresponding pool enters the water pump after being filtered through the water intake pipe, and is transported to the diversion pipe through the water delivery pipe. After diversion, it is injected into the water seal box. The water in the water seal box is continuously sprayed into the relief groove through the water seal nozzle to form a liquid seal barrier. When the series conveyor belt is running, the liquid attached to its surface is intercepted by the liquid seal barrier and flows back into the pool, reducing the leakage of liquid in the pool.
[0007] To allow materials to enter the series conveyor belt from the feed end of the pre-washing tank, they flow sequentially through the desulfurization tank and the clear water tank, relying on the height gradient and the power of the conveyor belt: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the series conveyor belt is a SUS304 stainless steel woven mesh belt with a 2mm aperture, which passes through the clearance grooves of the pre-washing tank, desulfurization tank, and clear water tank in sequence, and the gap between the conveyor belt and the clearance groove of each tank is sealed with a silicone sealing gasket. The height of the pre-washing tank, desulfurization tank, clear water tank, steam box body, and rinsing tank decreases in a gradient of 100mm in sequence, and the connection surface between adjacent tanks is sealed with sealant. The two side walls of the pre-washing tank, desulfurization tank, and clear water tank are symmetrically provided with overflow grooves, and the bottom of the overflow groove is connected to a guide pipe by welding. The end of the guide pipe is connected to the wastewater recycling system.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: In use, the pre-washing tank, desulfurization tank, and clear water tank form a three-stage series rinsing structure. The immersion depth of the series conveyor belt in the tank is 30mm. When the water level in the tank exceeds the upper edge of the overflow trough, the excess liquid is discharged through the overflow trough, ensuring that the series conveyor belt is always immersed in the rinsing liquid. The material enters the series conveyor belt from the feed end of the pre-washing tank, and flows through the desulfurization tank and clear water tank in sequence by relying on the height gradient and the power of the conveyor belt. Then, it enters the main body of the steam box and the rinsing tank through the integrated conveyor belt. No manual transfer is required throughout the process.
[0009] To ensure that the water in the water seal tank is continuously sprayed into the clearance tank through the water seal nozzle, forming a liquid seal barrier: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the water seal assembly consists of three sets, which are sequentially fixed to the pre-washing tank, desulfurization tank, and clear water tank by bolts. The water pump inlet is connected to the bottom water intake pipe of the corresponding tank body via a hose, and the water pump is electrically connected to the control panel via a wire. The top of the water supply pipe is welded with a T-joint and fixed with a clamp to a diversion pipe. The inner wall of the water seal tank is fixed with sealant and pressed with bolts to embed a water seal box. The bottom of the water seal box is connected to water seal nozzles at equal intervals via threaded connections and with sealing gaskets.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: When in use, after the water pump is started, the water in the corresponding pool enters the water pump after being filtered through the water intake pipe, and is transported to the diversion pipe through the water delivery pipe. After diversion, it is injected into the water seal box. The water in the water seal box is continuously sprayed into the relief groove through the water seal nozzle to form a liquid seal barrier. When the series conveyor belt is running, the liquid attached to its surface is intercepted by the liquid seal barrier and flows back into the pool, reducing the leakage of liquid from the pool.
[0011] In order for the jet aerator to work and generate dense bubbles, the material is slightly tumbled: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a jet aerator is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the prewash tank. The jet aerator is electrically connected to the operation panel. The jet aerator is located directly below the part of the series conveyor belt inside the prewash tank. The top of the jet aerator is 150 mm away from the bottom surface of the series conveyor belt. The prewash tank contains a 0.03% sodium metabisulfite solution.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: when the jet aerator is started, it works and generates dense bubbles, which causes the material to tumble slightly, removing impurities while avoiding overlap.
[0013] To ensure the turning paddle rotates and gently moves the material, the slices are alternately exposed to the desulfurization liquid on both sides: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the two ends of the turning roller are fixed to the two side walls of the desulfurization tank through bearing seats, one end of the turning roller is connected to a geared motor through a coupling, and the turning paddle is fixed to the outer wall of the turning roller by welding at equal intervals. The turning paddle is made of food-grade silicone material, and the end away from the turning roller is an arc with a radius of 5mm. The bottom of the turning paddle is 8mm vertically away from the surface of the series conveyor belt.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this improvement are: the geared motor drives the turning roller to rotate, and the turning paddle rotates with it and gently moves the material, so that the front and back sides of the slices alternately contact the desulfurization liquid, prolonging the desulfurization time and reducing the residual amount of sulfite.
[0015] To ensure that the oblique water flow both washes away residual liquid on the surface of the material, assists in turning the material, and cools the material at the same time: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a water storage layer is fixed to the upper inner wall of the clear water tank by welding. The top of the water storage layer is connected to a water inlet pipe through a flange. A solenoid valve is installed on the water inlet pipe, and the end of the water inlet pipe away from the water storage layer is connected to an external soft water source. Cleaning water pipes are connected at equal intervals to the bottom of the water storage layer by threads. The end of the cleaning water pipe away from the water storage layer is connected to a fan-shaped cleaning nozzle by a clamp. The part of the series conveyor belt in the clear water tank is arranged horizontally and located below the cleaning nozzle. The vertical distance between the cleaning nozzle and the series conveyor belt is 150mm, and the spraying direction of the cleaning nozzle is at a 45° angle to the running direction of the series conveyor belt.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: external soft water enters the water storage layer through the inlet pipe, and then is sprayed out from the cleaning nozzle at a predetermined pressure through the cleaning water pipe. The oblique water flow not only washes away the residual liquid on the surface of the material, but also assists in turning the material and cools the material at the same time.
[0017] To ensure that steam is evenly ejected from the steam nozzles, the slices on the integrated conveyor belt are preheated: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: the steam box of the steam assembly is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the steam box body by bolts, and the outer wall of the steam box is wrapped with a 50mm thick heat insulation layer. The bottom of the steam box is connected to steam pipes at equal intervals by high-temperature resistant threads. The end of the steam pipe is connected to a 0.5mm diameter multi-hole spherical steam nozzle. The steam box is connected to an external steam source through a steam regulating valve, and the steam box is electrically connected to the PLC controller through wires. The integrated conveyor belt is located inside the steam box body, and is simultaneously below the end of the series conveyor belt and directly below the steam nozzles at a spacing of 200mm.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the PLC controller controls the operation of the steam box according to the set parameters, and the steam is evenly sprayed out through the steam nozzle to preheat the slices on the integrated conveyor belt, deactivate the polyphenol oxidase activity, and reduce nutrient loss during subsequent bleaching.
[0019] After the slices have completed their final rinsing in the rinsing tank, they are output via an integrated conveyor belt: As a further improvement to the above technical solution: a Pt100 temperature sensor with an immersion depth of 200mm is embedded in the inner wall of the floating pool. A steam coil is connected to the bottom of the floating pool through a pipe. An electromagnetic regulating valve linked to the temperature sensor is installed at the inlet end of the steam coil. The integrated conveyor belt is a food-grade silicone chain conveyor belt. One end overlaps with the lower end of the series conveyor belt, and this end passes through the clearance groove adjacent to the steam box body and the floating pool. The end of the integrated conveyor belt away from the series conveyor belt passes through the clearance groove of the floating pool wall and extends to the inner side of the floating pool. Its surface is provided with anti-slip ridges with a spacing of 10mm and a height of 2mm, and the chain joints are sealed with food-grade grease.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this improvement are as follows: the slices preheated by steam are sent into the rinsing tank by an integrated conveyor belt, the Pt100 temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time, and the steam volume of the steam coil is adjusted by the electromagnetic regulating valve to stabilize the water temperature at the set value. After the slices complete the final rinsing in the rinsing tank, they are output by the integrated conveyor belt.
[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this case are as follows: the geared motor drives the turning roller to rotate, and the turning paddle rotates with it and gently moves the material, so that the front and back sides of the slices alternately contact the desulfurization liquid, prolonging the desulfurization time and reducing the residual amount of sulfite. External soft water enters the water storage layer through the water inlet pipe, and then is sprayed out from the cleaning nozzle at a predetermined pressure through the cleaning water pipe. The oblique water flow not only washes the residual liquid on the surface of the material, but also assists in turning the material and cools the material at the same time.

One end of the pre-washing tank 11 is connected to a desulfurization tank 12 via a sealed welding method. The desulfurization tank 12 is located away from the pre-washing tank 11. One end is connected to a clear water tank 13 via a sealed welding method. The end of the clear water tank 13 away from the desulfurization tank 12 is connected to a steam box body 14 via a flange. The end of the steam box body 14 away from the clear water tank 13 is connected to a rinsing tank 15 via a flange. Water seal grooves 111 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the top of the pre-washing tank 11, the desulfurization tank 12, and the clear water tank 13. Relief grooves 113 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the pre-washing tank 11, the desulfurization tank 12, the clear water tank 13, the steam box body 14, and the rinsing tank 15. The water outlet of the water pump 22 is connected to a water supply pipe 23 via a flange.
[0031] The series conveyor belt 16 is a 2mm aperture SUS304 stainless steel woven mesh belt, which sequentially passes through the clearance grooves 113 of the pre-washing tank 11, desulfurization tank 12, and clear water tank 13. The gaps between the conveyor belt 16 and the clearance grooves 113 of each tank are sealed with silicone gaskets. The heights of the pre-washing tank 11, desulfurization tank 12, clear water tank 13, steam tank body 14, and rinsing tank 15 decrease in a gradient of 100mm, and the connecting surfaces of adjacent tanks are sealed with sealant. The two side walls of the pre-washing tank 11, desulfurization tank 12, and clear water tank 13 are symmetrically provided with overflow grooves 112, and the bottom of the overflow grooves 112 is connected by welding to guide tubes. The flow pipe and the guide pipe end are connected to the wastewater recycling system. In use, the pre-washing tank 11, desulfurization tank 12 and clear water tank 13 form a three-stage series rinsing structure. The immersion depth of the series conveyor belt 16 in the tank is 30mm. When the water level in the tank exceeds the upper edge of the overflow trough 112, the excess liquid is discharged through the overflow trough 112, ensuring that the series conveyor belt 16 is always immersed in the rinsing liquid. The material enters the series conveyor belt 16 from the feed end of the pre-washing tank 11, and flows through the desulfurization tank 12 and clear water tank 13 in sequence by relying on the height gradient and the power of the conveyor belt. Then it enters the steam box body 14 and the rinsing tank 15 through the integrated conveyor belt 17. No manual transfer is required throughout the process.
[0032] The water seal assembly 2 consists of three sets, which are sequentially fixed to the pre-washing tank 11, the desulfurization tank 12, and the clear water tank 13 by bolts. The water pump 22's inlet is connected to the bottom water intake pipe of the corresponding tank via a hose, and the water pump 22 is electrically connected to the control panel via a wire. The top of the water supply pipe 23 is welded with a T-joint and secured with a clamp to a diversion pipe 24. The inner wall of the water seal tank 111 is fixed with sealant and bolted to embed a water seal box 25. Water seal nozzles 21 are connected at equal intervals at the bottom of the tank via threaded connections and sealing gaskets. In use, after the water pump 22 is started, the water in the corresponding tank enters the water pump 22 after being filtered through the water intake pipe. It is then transported to the diversion pipe 24 by the water supply pipe 23 and injected into the water seal tank 25. The water in the water seal tank 25 is continuously sprayed into the relief groove 113 through the water seal nozzles 21 to form a liquid seal barrier. When the series conveyor belt 16 is running, the liquid attached to its surface is intercepted by the liquid seal barrier and flows back into the tank, reducing the leakage of liquid from the tank.
[0033] A jet aerator 114 is installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the pre-washing tank 11. The jet aerator 114 is electrically connected to the control panel. The jet aerator 114 is located directly below the portion of the series conveyor belt 16 inside the pre-washing tank 11. The top of the jet aerator 114 is 150 mm away from the bottom surface of the series conveyor belt 16. The pre-washing tank 11 contains a 0.03% sodium metabisulfite solution. When the jet aerator 114 is started, it works and generates dense bubbles, causing the material to tumble slightly, removing impurities while preventing them from overlapping.
[0034] The turning roller 31 is fixed to the two side walls of the desulfurization tank 12 by bearing seats at both ends. One end of the turning roller 31 is connected to a geared motor by a coupling. Turning paddles 32 are welded to the outer circumference of the turning roller 31 at equal intervals. The turning paddles 32 are made of food-grade silicone material. The end away from the turning roller 31 is an arc with a radius of 5mm. The bottom of the turning paddle 32 is 8mm away from the surface of the series conveyor belt 16. The geared motor drives the turning roller 31 to rotate. The turning paddles 32 rotate with it and gently move the material, so that the front and back sides of the slices alternately contact the desulfurization liquid, prolonging the desulfurization time and reducing the residual amount of sulfite.
[0035] The upper inner wall of the clear water tank 13 is fixed with a water storage layer 42 by welding. The top of the water storage layer 42 is connected to a water inlet pipe 41 by a flange. A solenoid valve is installed on the water inlet pipe 41, and the end of the water inlet pipe 41 away from the water storage layer 42 is connected to an external soft water source. The bottom of the water storage layer 42 is connected to cleaning water pipes 43 at equal intervals by threads. The end of the cleaning water pipe 43 away from the water storage layer 42 is connected to a fan-shaped cleaning nozzle 44 by a clamp. The part of the series conveyor belt 16 in the clear water tank 13 is arranged horizontally and located below the cleaning nozzle 44. The vertical distance between the cleaning nozzle 44 and the series conveyor belt 16 is 150mm, and the spraying direction of the cleaning nozzle 44 is at a 45° angle to the running direction of the series conveyor belt 16. External soft water enters the water storage layer 42 through the water inlet pipe 41, and then is sprayed out by the cleaning nozzle 44 at a predetermined pressure through the cleaning water pipe 43. The oblique water flow washes away residual liquid on the surface of the material, assists in turning the material, and cools the material at the same time.
[0036] The steam box 51 of the steam assembly 5 is fixed to the top inner wall of the steam box body 14 by bolts, and the outer wall of the steam box 51 is wrapped with a 50mm thick heat insulation layer. The bottom of the steam box 51 is connected to steam pipes at equal intervals by high-temperature resistant threads. The ends of the steam pipes are connected to 0.5mm diameter porous spherical steam nozzles 52. The steam box 51 is connected to an external steam source through a steam regulating valve, and the steam box 51 is electrically connected to the PLC controller through wires. The integrated conveyor belt 17 is located inside the steam box body 14, and is simultaneously located below the end of the series conveyor belt 16 and directly below the steam nozzles 52 at 200mm intervals. The PLC controller controls the operation of the steam box 51 according to the set parameters. Steam is evenly sprayed out through the steam nozzles 52 to preheat the slices on the integrated conveyor belt 17, deactivate the polyphenol oxidase activity, and reduce nutrient loss during subsequent bleaching.
[0037] The inner wall of the floating pool 15 is embedded with a Pt100 temperature sensor with an immersion depth of 200mm. A steam coil is connected to the bottom of the floating pool 15 via a pipe. An electromagnetic regulating valve linked to the temperature sensor is installed at the inlet end of the steam coil. The integrated conveyor belt 17 is a food-grade silicone chain conveyor belt, one end of which overlaps with the lower end of the series conveyor belt 16, and this end passes through the clearance groove 113 adjacent to the steam box body 14 and the floating pool 15. The integrated conveyor belt 17 is located away from the series conveyor belt 16. The end of the relief groove 113 penetrates the wall of the rinsing pool 15 and extends to the inside of the rinsing pool 15. Its surface is provided with anti-slip ridges with a spacing of 10mm and a height of 2mm, and the chain joints are sealed with food-grade grease. The slices, which have been preheated by steam, are sent into the rinsing pool 15 by the integrated conveyor belt 17. The Pt100 temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time, and the amount of steam in the steam coil is adjusted by the electromagnetic regulating valve to stabilize the water temperature at the set value. After the slices have completed the final rinsing in the rinsing pool 15, they are output by the integrated conveyor belt 17.
[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the pre-washing tank 11, desulfurization tank 12, and clear water tank 13 form a three-stage series rinsing structure. The immersion depth of the series conveyor belt 16 in the tank is 30mm. When the water level in the tank exceeds the upper edge of the overflow trough 112, the excess liquid is discharged through the overflow trough 112, ensuring that the series conveyor belt 16 is always immersed in the rinsing liquid. After starting the water pump 22, the water in the corresponding tank enters the water pump 22 after being filtered through the water intake pipe, and is transported to the diversion pipe 24 through the water delivery pipe 23. After diversion, it is injected into the water seal tank 25, and the water seal is activated. Water in tank 25 is continuously sprayed into clearance tank 113 through water seal nozzle 21, forming a liquid seal barrier. When the series conveyor belt 16 is running, the liquid adhering to its surface is intercepted by the liquid seal barrier and flows back into the pool, reducing liquid leakage from the pool. The jet aerator 114 is started, and the jet aerator 114 works and generates dense bubbles, causing the material to tumble slightly, removing impurities while preventing overlap. The geared motor drives the turning roller 31 to rotate, and the turning paddle 32 rotates with it and gently moves the material, so that the front and back of the slices alternately contact the desulfurization liquid. Extending the desulfurization time reduces sulfite residue. External soft water enters the water storage layer 42 through the inlet pipe 41, and then is sprayed out at a predetermined pressure through the cleaning nozzle 44 via the cleaning water pipe 43. The oblique water flow washes away residual liquid on the material surface, assists in turning the material, and cools the material simultaneously. The PLC controller controls the operation of the steam box 51 according to the set parameters. Steam is evenly sprayed out through the steam nozzle 52 to preheat the slices on the integrated conveyor belt 17, inactivating polyphenol oxidase activity and reducing nutrient loss during subsequent rinsing. The slices are fed into the rinsing tank 15 by the integrated conveyor belt 17. The Pt100 temperature sensor monitors the water temperature in real time. The steam volume of the steam coil is adjusted by the electromagnetic regulating valve to stabilize the water temperature at the set value. After the slices complete the final rinsing in the rinsing tank 15, they are output by the integrated conveyor belt 17. The material enters the series conveyor belt 16 from the feed end of the pre-washing tank 11. Relying on the height gradient and the power of the conveyor belt, it flows sequentially through the desulfurization tank 12 and the clear water tank 13, and then enters the steam box body 14 and the rinsing tank 15 via the integrated conveyor belt 17. No manual transfer is required throughout the process.
