Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery and equipment technology, and in particular to a potato washing and conveying device that prevents material from falling and is highly efficient in removing dirt. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes, as the world's fourth most important food crop, occupy a crucial position in people's diets. Whether as a delicious dish on the table, such as French fries, mashed potatoes, and braised beef with potatoes, or as a key raw material in the food processing industry, being made into products such as potato chips and starch, potatoes play an irreplaceable role. In the entire process of potatoes from the field to the table or factory, the cleaning process is crucial. It not only directly affects the quality of subsequent processing but also has a significant impact on food safety. Currently, potato cleaning largely relies on manual labor. However, manually washing potatoes requires picking them up one by one, immersing them in water, and meticulously wiping their surface with brushes, cloths, and other tools to remove dirt and impurities. For large-scale potato processing scenarios, where tons of potatoes need to be processed daily, manual washing simply cannot meet the required washing schedule. A significant amount of time is wasted on the washing process, severely reducing efficiency. Furthermore, the quality of manual potato washing is greatly affected by individual experience, diligence, and work status. Different workers have different washing strengths, methods, and times. Some workers may be more effective at removing stains from the potato surface due to their rich experience, while others may lack experience and fail to thoroughly clean the crevices and dents of the potatoes, leading to a decline in washing quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] Purpose of this utility model: The purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problem that when potatoes are washed manually, the production schedule cannot be met, a lot of time is wasted in the washing process, and production efficiency is seriously reduced; another purpose of this utility model is to provide a solution to the problem of low washing quality of potatoes when washed manually.

[0004] Technical solution: A potato washing and conveying device that prevents material from falling and has high efficiency in removing dirt, including a support platform. A through groove is provided on the right side of the upper surface of the support platform. A conveyor belt is installed inside the groove. A protective cover is provided on the upper surface of the support platform. A through inlet is provided on the left side of the inner rear surface of the protective cover. A through outlet is provided on the right side of the inner rear surface of the protective cover. The protective cover has a water inlet pipe on the left side inside, and a flushing pipe is integrally formed at the right end of the water inlet pipe. The outer side wall of the flushing pipe is provided with multiple spiral blades, and the inner side wall of the flushing pipe is provided with multiple through-type spray holes. The right end of the water inlet pipe is integrally formed with a deep cleaning pipe, and the outer wall of the deep cleaning pipe is provided with multiple cleaning impellers, and the outer side of the multiple cleaning impellers is provided with multiple soft brushes.

[0005] Furthermore, a motor frame is provided on the right side of the support platform, and a drive motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor frame. The left end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the right end of the deep cleaning tube.

[0006] Furthermore, the left end of the water inlet pipe extends to the left side of the protective cover plate, a rotating bearing is provided inside the water inlet pipe, and a water supply pipe is provided inside the rotating bearing.

[0007] Furthermore, a support frame 1 is provided behind the support platform and below the feed inlet, and a transmission belt 2 is provided on the lower inner surface of the support frame 1. A support frame 2 is provided behind the support platform and below the discharge outlet, and a transmission belt 3 is provided on the lower inner surface of the support frame 2.

[0008] Furthermore, the opposite sides of bracket one and bracket two are fixedly connected with support rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper surface of the support platform, located on the left side of the groove, has multiple through-holes for drainage.

[0010] Furthermore, many of the soft brushes are made of rubber.

[0011] Furthermore, all of the aforementioned cleaning impellers are made of rubber.

[0012] Beneficial effects: This utility model achieves automatic feeding of unwashed potatoes through a second transmission belt, while the first transmission belt, in conjunction with the spiral blades, completes the continuous conveying of potatoes, eliminating the need for manual handling or transfer of each potato. The water spray holes of the rinsing pipe and the spiral blades synchronously achieve conveying and preliminary rinsing, while the cleaning impeller of the deep cleaning pipe drives the soft brush to complete efficient deep cleaning. Each process is seamlessly connected and carried out synchronously, significantly shortening the cleaning cycle of a single potato. At the same time, the drive motor provides stable power, enabling the device to operate continuously for a long time. The cleaning speed far exceeds that of manual cleaning, easily matching the progress requirements of large-scale production in enterprises, and significantly improving overall production efficiency and capacity. This invention utilizes multiple spray holes in the rinsing pipe, which are distributed in all directions to evenly rinse the surface of potatoes, quickly removing most of the surface dirt such as mud and sand. In the deep cleaning stage, the rubber cleaning impeller drives the soft brush to rotate at high speed, and the conveyor belt drives the potatoes to roll, so that every surface of the potato can fully contact the soft brush. Even the residual dirt in the crevices can be thoroughly removed. The entire cleaning process is not affected by subjective factors such as human operating experience and care. All potatoes follow a uniform cleaning standard to ensure stable and reliable cleaning quality and significantly improve the overall cleanliness of the potatoes. This utility model forms a closed cleaning space by setting a protective cover plate, which prevents potatoes from being ejected due to water flow impact or impeller rotation during rinsing and deep cleaning, thus improving the practicality and safety of the device. This utility model, through its automated operation mode, eliminates the need for manual labor in cleaning, transportation, and other arduous tasks, effectively reducing labor costs. Traditional manual cleaning requires a large number of workers to bend over for extended periods, resulting in high labor intensity and easy physical fatigue. In contrast, this device requires only a small number of personnel for equipment monitoring and maintenance to operate normally, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving working conditions. Furthermore, the centralized water supply and directional drainage design reduces water waste, and the rubber components are wear-resistant, durable, and have low maintenance costs, further enhancing the device's economic efficiency.

[0015] To make the technical solution of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Example like Figures 1-6 As shown, a potato washing and conveying device that prevents material spillage and efficiently removes contaminants is provided, including a support platform 1. A through groove 2 is provided on the right side of the upper surface of the support platform 1. A conveyor belt 3 is installed inside the groove 2. A protective cover plate 4 is provided on the upper surface of the support platform 1. A through inlet 5 is provided on the left side of the inner rear surface of the protective cover plate 4. A through outlet 6 is provided on the right side of the inner rear surface of the protective cover plate 4. A water inlet pipe 7 is provided on the left side of the inner surface of the protective cover plate 4. A rinsing pipe 8 is integrally formed at the right end of the water inlet pipe 7. Multiple spiral blades 9 are provided on the outer side wall of the rinsing pipe 8. Multiple through spray holes 10 are provided on the inner side wall of the rinsing pipe 8. The right end of the water inlet pipe 7 is integrally formed with a deep cleaning pipe 11. Multiple cleaning impellers 12 are provided on the outer wall of the deep cleaning pipe 11, and multiple soft brushes 13 are provided on the outer side of the multiple cleaning impellers 12. A motor frame 14 is provided on the right side of the support platform 1. A drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the motor frame 14. The left end of the output shaft of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to the right end of the deep cleaning tube 11. The left end of the water inlet pipe 7 extends to the left side of the protective cover plate 4. A rotating bearing 16 is provided inside the water inlet pipe 7, and a water supply pipe 17 is provided inside the rotating bearing 16. When the device is working, potatoes first enter the interior of the protective cover plate 4 through the feed inlet 5. The closed structure of the protective cover plate 4 effectively prevents potatoes from falling during conveying and washing, providing basic protection against falling. Water is continuously supplied through the water supply pipe 17 via the rotating bearing 16 inside the water inlet pipe 7. The water flows through the water inlet pipe 7 into the rinsing pipe 8. On one hand, the drive motor 15 fixed on the motor frame 14 drives the deep cleaning pipe 11 and the rinsing pipe 8 integrally formed with it to rotate. The spiral blades 9 on the outer wall of the rinsing pipe 8 rotate accordingly, smoothly conveying the potatoes forward while preventing potato accumulation and blockage. On the other hand, multiple water spray holes 10 on the inner wall of the rinsing pipe 8 spray water simultaneously, performing a comprehensive preliminary rinse on the forward-moving potatoes, quickly removing mud and other dirt adhering to their surface. The quick-rinse method allows the potato conveying and rinsing processes to be carried out simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate conveying link and significantly shortening the overall cleaning time. At the same time, the centralized water supply method also reduces water waste and saves processing materials. After the initial rinsing, the potatoes are precisely conveyed to the end of the deep cleaning pipe 11 by the propulsion of the spiral blades 9. The sixteen cleaning impellers 12 on the outer wall of the deep cleaning pipe 11 rotate at high speed, and the rubber soft brushes 13 densely distributed on the top of the cleaning impellers 12 rotate synchronously. Meanwhile, the conveyor belt 3 drives the potatoes to roll slowly in the cleaning area, so that every surface of the potato can fully contact the soft brushes 13. This achieves deep cleaning of residual dirt in the crevices of the potato, and the soft material of the brushes 13 will not damage the potato skin, thus ensuring the quality of the potato. After deep cleaning, the potatoes are conveyed to the end by conveyor belt 3, and then smoothly transferred to the discharge port 6 on the right side of the protective cover 4 for output. The entire cleaning process is completed in a closed loop. The dual anti-drop structure of "conveyor belt 3 conveying + protective cover 4 protection" completely solves the problem of potatoes falling during the cleaning process. At the same time, the graded cleaning mode of "preliminary rinsing with water inlet pipe 7 and rinsing pipe 8 combined with deep cleaning pipe 11, cleaning impeller 12, and soft brush 13" is adopted. With the innovative design of conveying and cleaning simultaneously, the cleaning efficiency is improved while ensuring the cleaning quality, taking into account both practicality and economy.

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, a support frame 18 is provided behind the support platform 1 and below the feed inlet 5. A transmission belt 29 is provided on the lower inner surface of the support frame 18. A support frame 20 is provided behind the support platform 1 and below the discharge outlet 6. A transmission belt 31 is provided on the lower inner surface of the support frame 20. Support rods 22 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the support frame 18 and the support frame 20. During operation, workers smoothly transport the potatoes to be washed to the inlet 5 via conveyor belt 2 19, eliminating the need for manual feeding and further enhancing the automation of the overall process. This also avoids the problem of potatoes falling during manual feeding. The conveyor belt 3 21 on the lower surface of the inner side of support 2 20 receives the washed potatoes output from outlet 6 and quickly transfers them to subsequent processing or storage areas, achieving seamless connection between washing and subsequent processes. This effectively reduces the accumulation time of potatoes after washing, ensuring potato quality. The support rod 22, which is fixedly connected to the opposite side of support 1 18 and support 2 20, enhances the stability of the two support structures, ensuring that conveyor belts 2 19 and 3 21 remain stable during long-term operation and preventing potato conveying deviation or falling due to support shaking. Combined with the anti-drop design of the main body of the device, a complete anti-drop system is formed from feeding, washing to discharging. At the same time, the addition of conveyor belts 2 19 and 3 21 makes the loading and unloading process of the device more efficient and convenient, significantly reducing the cost of manual intervention and further improving the overall working efficiency of the device.

[0018] like Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of through-holes 23 are provided on the upper surface of the support platform 1 and on the left side of the groove 2; When the water spray holes 10 on the inner wall of the rinsing pipe 8 spray water onto the potatoes for initial rinsing, the wastewater carrying mud and impurities on the potato surface will be quickly discharged directly to the outside of the support platform 1 through multiple through-holes 23 under the action of gravity. No additional power is required, so that the wastewater can leave the cleaning area immediately after it is generated, avoiding the accumulation of wastewater in the support platform 1 and causing secondary contamination of the potatoes. This ensures that the cleaned potatoes are always in a clean environment, while reducing the risk of conveyor belt 3 malfunctioning due to foreign objects, ensuring stable operation of the device, and further improving the practicality and standardization of the device.

[0019] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the materials of multiple soft brushes 13 are all rubber. All the multiple cleaning impellers 12 are made of rubber. When the drive motor 15 drives the deep cleaning tube 11 to rotate, the rubber cleaning impeller 12 will rotate at high speed along the shaft. When the rubber soft brush 13 on its outer side comes into contact with the rolling potato surface, it can generate a flexible fit through its own elasticity, avoiding scratches, damage or flesh damage that may be caused by collision and friction between hard materials and potatoes. At the same time, the friction of the rubber material is moderate, which can ensure that the soft brush 13 can effectively remove residual dirt from the potato surface, but will not damage the integrity of the potato skin due to excessive hardness. This ensures that the potato still maintains good appearance quality and commercial value after deep cleaning, achieving the dual goals of efficient dirt removal and skin protection.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
