Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of canning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for the outer can of edible fungi cans. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production process of canned edible fungi, after the sealing stage, labeling and cleaning of the outer cans before packing are crucial steps to ensure product appearance quality and market acceptance. Glass bottles, a common outer packaging material for canned edible fungi, are easily contaminated with residual bacterial solution, water stains, dust, and packaging debris during pre-filling and sealing operations. If not thoroughly cleaned, this not only affects the adhesion and aesthetics of the labels but may also lead to food safety hazards due to the growth of microorganisms in the contaminants, reducing consumer trust in the product quality. In the existing technology, various automated devices have emerged for cleaning the outer cans of canned goods. For example, the publicly disclosed cleaning device for the outer cans of fruit cans uses a conveying mechanism in conjunction with cleaning components to achieve continuous cleaning of the can surface, which improves production efficiency to some extent. However, such devices have significant limitations in practical applications: because the structural design of the cleaning components focuses on cleaning the circumferential sides of the can, the cleaning of the two ends of the can (i.e., the edges and end faces of the bottle mouth and bottom) is often neglected, creating cleaning blind spots. Specifically, existing cleaning devices typically have cleaning components arranged along the conveying direction or around the circumference of the can, making it difficult to accurately cover the ends of the can perpendicular to the conveying direction. When stains remain on both ends of the glass jars containing edible fungi, it not only affects the overall cleanliness of the product but may also lead to can contamination due to mold growth during subsequent storage and transportation, and even raise consumer concerns about the can's airtightness.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning device that can thoroughly clean the outer shell and both ends of edible mushroom cans. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device for the outer can of edible fungi cans, which can thoroughly clean the outer can and both ends of the can, improve the cleaning effect of the can, and ensure the overall cleanliness of the product.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A cleaning device for the outer tank of edible fungi canned goods includes a conveying mechanism. Multiple sets of cleaning components are vertically mounted on the conveying mechanism. Each cleaning component includes a cleaning roller arranged along the width direction of the conveying mechanism and a cleaning brush arranged perpendicular to the running direction of the conveying mechanism. A receiving frame is provided on the conveying mechanism below the cleaning components. A receiving groove is provided through the receiving frame corresponding to the position of the cleaning components. During operation, as the cleaning components descend, the cleaning brushes on both sides are located at both ends of the receiving groove.

[0006] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is provided with a bracket, the bracket is provided with a cylinder, the telescopic end of the cylinder passes downward through the bracket and is provided with a mounting frame, and the cleaning component is provided on the mounting frame.

[0007] Preferably, the mounting frame consists of two symmetrically arranged U-shaped frames, with a connecting plate between the two U-shaped frames, and the telescopic end of the cylinder is connected to the connecting plate; multiple support rods are spaced apart in each U-shaped frame, the cleaning roller is disposed at both ends of the two U-shaped frames and between the two symmetrical support rods, and the cleaning brush is vertically disposed at the ends of the support rods and the two ends of the U-shaped frames.

[0008] Preferably, the cleaning roller is rotatably disposed between the support rod and the U-shaped frame.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is provided with multiple sets of limiting plates, and a limiting groove is formed between two of the limiting plates for the support rod and the end of the U-shaped frame to move in and out, and the bottom of the limiting groove extends into the receiving groove.

[0014] Preferably, the cleaning plate is provided with a flexible cleaning bristle sleeve at its end.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model forms a three-dimensional cleaning coverage of the outer can body by setting cleaning brushes perpendicular to the running direction of the conveying mechanism in the cleaning component, and cooperating with cleaning rollers arranged along the width direction of the conveying mechanism. During operation, as the cleaning component descends, the cleaning brushes on both sides are precisely positioned at both ends of the receiving groove, and can directly act on the bottle mouth, bottom edge and end face of the can, effectively solving the problem of neglecting the cleaning of the two ends of the can body in the prior art, ensuring that all parts of the outer can body can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0016] In addition, the cleaning unit features a height-adjustable design, allowing for flexible adjustment of the cleaning position to suit the height of the glass jars used for canning edible fungi, thus meeting the cleaning needs of jars of different sizes.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of A in the middle; Figure 3 for Figure 1 A magnified view of B in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention discloses a cleaning device for the outer can of edible fungi cans, comprising a conveying mechanism 1, which adopts a belt conveyor, preferably a belt conveyor, to reduce wear on the can body 6 during operation; multiple sets of cleaning components are vertically mounted on the conveying mechanism 1, including cleaning rollers 2 arranged along the width of the conveying mechanism 1 and cleaning brushes 3 arranged perpendicular to the running direction of the conveying mechanism 1, the cleaning brushes 3 using flexible bristles, the cleaning rollers 2 used to clean the side walls of the can body 6, and the cleaning brushes 3 on both sides used to clean the ends of the can body 6; a receiving frame 4 is provided on the conveying mechanism 1 below the cleaning components, and a receiving groove 5 is provided through the receiving frame 4 corresponding to the position of the cleaning components for placing the can body 6. During operation, as the cleaning components descend, the cleaning brushes 3 on both sides are located at the two ends of the receiving groove 5 and contact the two ends of the can body 6, while the upper cleaning rollers 2 contact the side walls of the can body 6. As the conveying mechanism 1 runs, it drives the can body 6 to move within the receiving groove 5, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning its outer wall. This effectively removes residue from the surface of the can, preventing stains from affecting the adhesion and appearance of the label, and also preventing the potential food safety hazards caused by the growth of microorganisms in the stains.

[0019] Furthermore, a portal frame 7 is provided on the conveying mechanism 1. A cylinder 8 is fixed to the top of the frame 7 by bolts. The telescopic end of the cylinder 8 passes through the frame 7 and is connected to a mounting frame, on which the cleaning component is mounted. During operation, the cylinder 8 drives the mounting frame to move up and down, thereby adjusting the position of the cleaning component to facilitate the loading and unloading of the tank 6. Specifically, the mounting frame consists of two symmetrically arranged U-shaped frames 9, which are inverted and connected by a welded connecting plate 10. The telescopic end of the cylinder 8 is connected to the connecting plate 10. Multiple support rods 11 are spaced apart within each U-shaped frame 9. The cleaning roller 2 is positioned at both ends of the two U-shaped frames 9 and between the two symmetrical support rods 11. The cleaning brush 3 is vertically positioned on the support rods 11 and at both ends of the U-shaped frames 9. The symmetrical U-shaped frames 9, combined with the spaced support rods 11, provide a stable and balanced mounting base for the cleaning roller 2 and the cleaning brush 3, ensuring that the cleaning component is subjected to uniform force during operation and reducing cleaning deviations caused by structural swaying. The cleaning roller 2 is rotatably mounted between the support rod 11 and the U-shaped frame 9 via bearings at both ends. This allows the cleaning roller 2 to rotate and alternate between different sides to rub against the tank 6, effectively solving the problems of traditional fixed cleaning components. On the one hand, it avoids excessive local wear caused by prolonged contact between the same side and the tank 6, significantly extending the service life of the cleaning roller 2 and reducing equipment maintenance and replacement costs. On the other hand, because different sides of the cleaning roller 2 participate in cleaning alternately, it reduces the rapid accumulation of dirt on a single surface, reducing the frequency of frequent shutdowns for cleaning due to excessive dirt, thereby improving the continuity and production efficiency of the overall cleaning process. In addition, the rolling friction between the rotating cleaning roller 2 and the tank 6 acts more gently on the surface of the tank 6 compared to the sliding friction in a fixed state, ensuring cleaning effectiveness while reducing the risk of scratching damage to the glass tank 6.

[0020] Furthermore, multiple sets of limiting plates 12 are fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism 1 by welding or threaded connection. A limiting groove 13 is formed between two limiting plates 12, allowing the ends of the support rod 11 and U-shaped frame 9 to move in and out. The bottom of the limiting groove 13 extends into the receiving groove 5. The limiting groove 13 effectively limits the movement of the support rod 11 and U-shaped frame 9. During the up-and-down movement of the cleaning component driven by the cylinder 8, the ends of the support rod 11 and U-shaped frame 9 always move within the limiting groove 13, thus preventing lateral offset or swaying during movement. This stable guiding effect ensures a more precise trajectory for the up-and-down movement of the cleaning component, allowing the cleaning roller 2 and cleaning brush 3 to always accurately align with the tank 6 in the receiving groove 5, thereby ensuring the stability and consistency of the cleaning operation and reducing incomplete or over-cleaning caused by deviations in the position of the cleaning component.

[0021] In addition, a guide rod 14 is provided on the connecting plate 10, and a guide hole is provided through the bracket 7. When the cylinder 8 drives the mounting frame to move up and down, the guide rod 14 will slide synchronously up and down along the guide hole on the bracket 7. The cooperation between the guide rod 14 and the guide hole provides precise guidance for the movement of the mounting frame, effectively limiting the horizontal swaying or twisting that may occur during the up and down movement of the mounting frame. This makes the movement trajectory of the mounting frame more regular, avoiding relative displacement between the cleaning component and the tank 6 due to the shaking of the mounting frame, thereby ensuring that the cleaning roller 2 and the cleaning brush 3 can always act on the surface of the tank 6 in a stable posture, ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the cleaning effect. At the same time, this guiding structure can also disperse the lateral force borne by the cylinder 8. When the mounting frame drives the cleaning component to perform cleaning operations, a certain interaction force will be generated between the cleaning component and the tank 6. Without the cooperation of the guide rod 14 and the guide hole, these forces may cause the telescopic end of the cylinder 8 to bear a large lateral load, which may easily lead to damage to the cylinder 8 after long-term use and affect the service life of the equipment. The guide rod 14, by sliding within the guide hole, can transfer some of the lateral force to the bracket 7, reducing the stress on the cylinder 8 and thus protecting the cylinder 8 and extending the overall service life of the equipment.

[0022] Furthermore, the height of the cleaning brush 3 is adjustable. Specifically, both ends of the support rod 11 and the U-shaped frame 9 are vertically provided with adjustment slots 15. An adjustment screw 16 is provided on the brush plate of the cleaning brush 3. After the adjustment screw 16 passes through the adjustment slot 15, a locking nut 17 is provided. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the cleaning brush 3, simply loosen the locking nut 17 to control the adjustment screw 16 to move up and down. The adjustable height of the cleaning brush 3 facilitates the height matching with the cleaning roller 2 to meet the cleaning operation of cans 6 with various diameters. By adjusting the height of the cleaning brush 3, it can be ensured that it can always accurately fit the two ends and the end face of cans 6 with different diameters, avoiding the problem of incomplete cleaning of the can 6 due to a fixed brush height. At the same time, the cleaning roller 2 can clean the circumferential sides of the can 6. The height matching between the cleaning brush 3 and the cleaning roller 2 can form a full-range coverage of the entire surface of the can 6, ensuring that there are no dead corners in the cleaning.

[0023] Furthermore, a cleaning plate 18 is provided at the bottom of the conveying mechanism 1. Preferably, two cleaning plates 18 are provided, respectively arranged at both ends of the conveying mechanism 1. The ends of the cleaning plates 18 are preferably provided with flexible cleaning bristles 19. The cleaning plates 18 help to remove dirt adhering to the conveyor belt, reduce the risk of secondary contamination, and ensure the cleanliness of the tank 6 throughout the conveying process. The flexible cleaning bristles 19 at the ends of the cleaning plates 18 not only ensure the thoroughness of dirt removal but also avoid wear caused by direct friction between hard materials and the conveyor belt, thus extending the service life of the conveyor belt.

[0024] In use, the can 6 is first placed in the receiving groove 5. Then, the cylinder 8 is controlled to extend downwards and push the mounting bracket downwards. The support plate will gradually enter the receiving groove 5 through the limiting groove 13. As the support plate enters the receiving groove 5, the cleaning brush 3 installed on it will abut against both ends of the can 6, thus restricting the can 6. Finally, the conveying mechanism 1 is started. The conveyor belt will drive the can 6 to rotate. During the rotation of the can 6, it will come into contact with the cleaning roller 2 and the bristles on the cleaning brush 3, thus completing the cleaning operation on the surface of the can 6. After cleaning, the cylinder 8 is controlled to reset and lift the mounting bracket, and the can 6 can be removed.
