[0014] A preferred embodiment of the present invention will be briefly described below, illustrating the operation of the present invention with reference to the drawings.

[0015] Agricultural products A are placed into container 1 (inner cylinder 1b), which is then tilted to a predetermined inclined position. While this inclined position is maintained by container inclination position maintaining mechanism 4, inner cylinder 1b is rotated and cleaning water is sprayed from cleaning water sprayer 2, causing the crops A to rub against each other as inner cylinder 1b rotates, and the resulting mutual friction removes dirt such as soil and mud adhering to the crops A. During this process, the mud removed from the crops A is successively discharged together with the cleaning water from through holes 5 formed in inner cylinder 1b toward outer cylinder 1a, and then discharged to the outside from discharge port 8 provided in outer cylinder 1a, thereby preventing the mud from re-adhering as much as possible.

[0016] After the washing process is completed, the container 1 is tilted to a predetermined angle while the washed agricultural products A are still contained therein, and the inner cylinder 1b is rotated at high speed, thereby performing a dehydration process using centrifugal force.

[0017] Furthermore, when harvesting the crops A from the container 1 (inner cylinder 1b) after the dehydration process, the container 1 can be tilted so that the opening of the container 1 faces downward rather than horizontally, allowing the crops A to be easily removed (scraped out) (there is no need to lift the container containing the crops A upward to remove them, as was done in the past).

[0018] Furthermore, by rotating inner cylinder 1b in an inclined position where the opening of storage body 1 faces downward rather than horizontally, crops A stored in storage body 1 (inner cylinder 1b) can be automatically discharged. Therefore, crops A can be easily collected by simply placing a container or other vessel below the opening.

[0019] In this way, the present invention is an innovative agricultural product cleaning device that can perform both cleaning and dehydration processes, eliminating the need to carry the device between processes, and furthermore, even after dehydration, the agricultural product A can be easily removed (recovered) from the container 1 (inner cylinder 1b) without having to lift the heavy container. [Example]

[0020] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0021] This embodiment is a crop washing device that washes crops A contaminated with soil, mud, and the like, and then dehydrates the crops A to remove moisture that has adhered to the crops A through the washing process. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the device comprises a container 1 for storing crops A and a cleaning water sprayer 2 that sprays cleaning water onto the crops A stored in container 1. Container 1 is tiltably mounted on an installation stand 3, and is configured so that container 1 can be maintained in a predetermined inclined position by a container tilt position maintaining mechanism 4. Container 1 also comprises an outer cylinder 1a and an inner cylinder 1b inserted into outer cylinder 1a. Inner cylinder 1b has multiple through holes 5 formed in its circumferential and bottom surfaces. Inner cylinder 1b is rotatable relative to outer cylinder 1a, and its rotational speed is adjustable.

[0022] Each component of this embodiment will be described in detail below. In this embodiment, the agricultural product cleaning device of the present invention is applied to a soybean cleaning device for cleaning soybeans A. However, the agricultural products that can be cleaned in this embodiment are not limited to soybeans A. Similar to soybeans A, other beans in pods (peanuts, ginkgo nuts, etc.) and other agricultural products (such as taro and carrots) can also be cleaned.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2, the container 1 is composed of an outer cylindrical body 1a, an inner cylindrical body 1b inserted into the outer cylindrical body 1a, and a lid body 9 that can be freely opened and closed to cover the upper opening of the container 1 (outer cylindrical body 1a and inner cylindrical body 1b).

[0024] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the outer cylinder body 1a is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape with an outlet 8 at the bottom, and is configured to be freely attached and detached to the installation stand 3 via a connecting part 10 provided at the bottom.

[0025] Specifically, the outer cylinder 1a is made of metal, and as shown in Figures 3 and 4, multiple guide rollers 11 are provided along the circumferential direction. These guide rollers 11 abut against the circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 1b (in this embodiment, the upper end of the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder 1b), and are configured to suppress axial wobble of the inner cylinder 1b when the inner cylinder 1b rotates, allowing the inner cylinder 1b to rotate smoothly.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3, the outer cylinder 1a is provided with a stopper member 12 in a predetermined range on the upper part of its inner peripheral surface (slightly below the edge of the opening). This stopper member 12 is formed in a band shape and, as shown in Figure 4, is provided over a range of 120° along the circumferential direction on the peripheral surface that is on the lower side when the outer cylinder 1a is tilted forward. This prevents mud from flowing out of the opening even if mud remains inside the outer cylinder 1a (in the gap between the outer cylinder 1a and the inner cylinder 1b) when the outer cylinder 1a is tilted forward significantly to assume the inclined position for discharging agricultural produce.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 3, the outer cylindrical body 1a is provided at the center of the bottom with a vertical bearing portion 14 that supports a rotation shaft 13 for rotatably mounting the inner cylindrical body 1b.

[0028] Specifically, the vertical bearing portion 14 is provided with a pulley 16 that is rotated by a motor 15 provided on the installation base 3, and is configured to rotate together with this pulley 16.

[0029] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the inner cylinder 1b is formed in a bottomed cylindrical shape that is large enough to leave an appropriate gap between the inner peripheral surface and the bottom surface of the outer cylinder 1a when inserted into the outer cylinder 1a, and is rotatable relative to the outer cylinder 1a by the above-mentioned rotating shaft 13.

[0030] Specifically, the inner cylinder 1b is configured so that the rotation speed can be freely adjusted, and in more detail, it is configured so that an appropriate rotation speed (a rotation speed suitable for washing processing, a rotation speed suitable for dehydration processing, or a rotation speed suitable for discharging edamame A) can be set by operating the operation panel 17 provided on the installation stand 3 (changing the rotation speed of the motor 15).

[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning process and the dehydration process are performed automatically and continuously, and accordingly, the rotation speed is automatically changed from a speed suitable for the cleaning process to a speed suitable for the dehydration process.

[0032] Furthermore, after the dehydration process is completed, the rotation speed is automatically changed to a speed suitable for discharging the edamame A for a predetermined period of time.

[0033] The inner cylinder 1b is made of a metal (stainless steel) perforated plate (punched metal) and has numerous through holes 5 formed on the circumferential and bottom surfaces, allowing mud and washing water to be discharged through these through holes 5 during the washing and dehydration processes.

[0034] As shown in Figure 4, the through holes 5 formed on the bottom surface are made up of large diameter through holes (5a) that are large enough to prevent the edamame A from spilling out, and smaller diameter through holes (5b) that are arranged radially at intervals around the circumferential direction, and further, multiple through holes (5c) are arranged along the periphery.

[0035] Further, on the bottom surface of inner cylinder 1b, there is provided mud residue prevention portion 6 for preventing mud removed from crops A from remaining on the bottom surface.

[0036] Specifically, this mud residue prevention portion 6 is made of synthetic resin and, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, is configured as a flat, mountain-shaped portion (diameter: approximately 145 mm, height: approximately 15 mm) that is circular in plan view and has a tapered peripheral portion, and is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the inner cylindrical body 1b.

[0037] In addition, a plurality of mud discharge holes 18 are provided along the periphery of the mud residue prevention portion 6 on the bottom surface on which the mud residue prevention portion 6 is provided.

[0038] That is, in this embodiment, the mud residue prevention section 6 is provided in the center of the bottom surface of the inner cylindrical body 1b, and the mud that collects in the center of the bottom surface is guided to the mud discharge hole 18 by the tapered peripheral surface section 6a provided in the mud residue prevention section 6, and the mud is smoothly discharged outside the inner cylindrical body 1b, thereby preventing mud from remaining as much as possible.

[0039] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the lid body 9 is formed in a disk shape and is composed of a fixed lid portion 9a fixed to the peripheral edge of the outer cylindrical body 1a, and an opening / closing lid portion 9b that is freely swingable on this fixed lid portion 9a.

[0040] Furthermore, the fixed lid portion 9a is provided with a cleaning water jetting portion 2 (cleaning nozzle) that jets cleaning water into the container 1 (inner cylinder 1b).

[0041] The cleaning water jetting section 2 has a coupler (not shown) that can be connected to a commercially available water hose, and is configured to automatically jet tap water supplied through the water hose as cleaning water during cleaning.

[0042] As described above, this embodiment is configured so that tap water is sprayed directly from the cleaning water spraying section 2 as cleaning water, but it may also be configured so that a high-pressure cleaning device is provided and cleaning is performed using high-pressure cleaning water, or so that these can be switched between and used.

[0043] The openable / closable lid 9b is provided with a viewing window 9c, which allows the processing status to be visually confirmed during the cleaning and dehydration processes.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 2, the installation stand 3 is made up of a base 3a and a swingable placement stand 3b that is swingably provided on the base 3a and on which the above-mentioned container 1 is placed.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the base 3a is a frame structure, with running wheels 7 provided on either the left or right side (in this embodiment, the right side when viewed from the front) and a handle portion 19 on the other side, and is configured so that by lifting the handle portion 19 and tilting the installation stand 3, it can be moved like a push cart (hand wheelbarrow).

[0046] As shown in FIG. 2, the base 3a has a vertical frame erected on both the left and right sides of the frame located on the front side (front side), on which horizontal bearing portions 21 are provided to rotatably support the oscillating shaft 20 provided on the oscillating support table 3b, and a frame located on the back side (rear side) is provided with a support portion 22 to support the container 1 (outer cylinder body 1a).

[0047] This support portion 22 is configured to be freely adjustable in height (freely adjustable amount of protrusion) and is configured to support a frame located on the back side (rear side) of the oscillating support table 3b. In this embodiment, this support portion 22 is set to an appropriate height so that the container 1 placed on the oscillating support table 3b is in a forward-leaning position in the normal state.

[0048] Furthermore, the base 3a has a drainage receiving section 23 between the front frame and the rear frame, and this drainage receiving section 23 is inclined downward from the front side to the rear side, and is configured to receive mud and cleaning water discharged from the container 1 (outer cylinder body 1a) and allow this mud and cleaning water to flow to the rear side.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 2, the oscillating support table 3b is a frame structure similar to the base 3a, and has an oscillating shaft 20 provided on vertical frames erected on both the left and right sides of the frame located on the front side (front side), and this oscillating shaft 20 is supported by a horizontal bearing portion 21 of the base 3a, so that it can oscillate freely relative to the base 3a.

[0050] Specifically, the swingable table 3b is provided with a tilting operation lever 24 on one of the left and right vertical frames, and is configured to tilt forward when the tilting operation lever 24 is operated.

[0051] More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the oscillating platform 3b is provided with an assist mechanism 25 (a gas spring is used in this embodiment), which urges the oscillating platform 3b to tilt forward, so that the heavy oscillating platform 3b on which the container 1 is placed can be easily tilted.

[0052] The oscillating table 3b is configured so that it can be held in a predetermined inclined position by a container inclined position holding mechanism 4.

[0053] The container tilt posture holding mechanism 4 consists of a locking portion 26 and a locking receiving portion 27. In this embodiment, the locking portion 26 is configured as a protrusion and is provided at the base end of the tilting operation lever 24 of the oscillating support base 3b, and the locking receiving portion 27 is configured as a plate-shaped receiving portion having a plurality of locking holes 28 into which the locking portion 26 configured as the protrusion is inserted and locked, and is provided on the vertical frame of the base 3a.

[0054] Specifically, the locking receiving portion 27 has three locking holes 28a, 28b, 28c for holding the container 1 placed on the oscillating placing table 3b in an inclined position for putting agricultural produce into the container 1 when putting edamame A into the container 1, an inclined position for washing and dehydrating the agricultural produce when washing and dehydrating the edamame A, and an inclined position for discharging the agricultural produce when discharging the edamame A from the container 1.

[0055] The inclined position for loading agricultural produce is preferably an inclined position where the inclination angle of the central axis of the container 1 is 0° to 15° relative to the vertical direction, the inclined position for cleaning and dehydrating agricultural produce is preferably an inclined position where the inclined angle is 0° to 90°, and the inclined position for discharging agricultural produce is an inclined position where the inclined angle is 95° to 120°.In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 6, locking holes 28a, 28b, and 28c are provided in locking receiving portion 27 so that the inclined position for loading agricultural produce (a in the figure) is an inclined position where the inclination angle of the central axis of the container 1 is 5° relative to the vertical direction, the inclined position for cleaning and dehydrating agricultural produce (b in the figure) is an inclined position where the inclined angle is 67° (23° relative to the horizontal), and the inclined position for discharging agricultural produce (c in the figure) is an inclined position where the inclined angle is 97° (-7° relative to the horizontal).

[0056] That is, in this embodiment, by operating the tilting operation lever 24 and inserting and engaging the locking portion 26 provided at the base end of this tilting operation lever 24 into the locking hole 28a of the locking receiving portion 27, the container 1 placed on the swinging platform 3b is brought into an inclined position for loading agricultural products and is maintained in that position; by inserting and engaging the locking portion 26 into the locking hole 28b of the locking receiving portion 27, the container 1 placed on the swinging platform 3b is brought into an inclined position for washing and dehydrating agricultural products and is maintained in that position; and by inserting and engaging the locking portion 26 into the locking hole 28c of the locking receiving portion 27, the container 1 placed on the swinging platform 3b is brought into an inclined position for discharging agricultural products and is maintained in that position.

[0057] In this embodiment, the support portion 22 is configured to allow the container to assume the inclined attitude for inputting agricultural products without using the container inclined attitude maintaining mechanism 4.

[0058] In addition, in this embodiment, the crop cleaning inclined position for cleaning the edamame A and the crop dehydration inclined position for dehydrating the edamame A are configured to be the same inclined position, but the crop cleaning inclined position and the crop dehydration inclined position may be configured to be different inclined positions, in which case locking holes 28 corresponding to each of the crop cleaning inclined position and the crop dehydration inclined position will be provided.

[0059] In addition, the oscillating platform 3b is provided with a platform 29 at approximately the same height as the opening of the storage body 1, on which a container or other container can be placed when the edamame A stored in the container is placed into the storage body 1, and the height position can be adjusted freely.

[0060] Next, a method for washing the edamame A in the edamame washing apparatus according to this embodiment configured as above will be described with reference to FIG.

[0061] First, as shown in Figure 7(a), the container 1 is placed in the inclined position for putting agricultural products in, and edamame A is put into the container 1. At this time, the container 1 is inclined forward by 5° relative to the vertical direction, so the opening of the container 1 faces slightly forward, making it easier to put in the edamame A.

[0062] Furthermore, by making this inclined posture for putting agricultural products into the normal posture, water remaining at the bottom of the container 1 after the washing operation is completed moves to the front of the container 1 (outer cylinder body 1a) and is discharged from the outlet 8 provided on the front side of the bottom surface of the outer cylinder body 1a, improving drainage and also improving hygiene by making it less likely that water will remain in the container 1.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a mounting table 29 is provided beside the opening of the storage body 1, so that the edamame A can be easily poured into the storage body 1 by placing a container containing the edamame A on this mounting table 29 and tilting it. This reduces the difficult task of lifting a heavy container containing the edamame A and pouring it into the storage body 1, and reduces the burden on the worker.

[0064] Next, the tilting operation lever 24 is operated to tilt the oscillating placement platform 3b, placing the container 1 in a crop washing / dehydration inclined position at an angle of 67° from the vertical (23° from the horizontal) as shown in Figure 7(b). This position is maintained by the container inclined position maintaining mechanism 4, and then the operation panel 17 is operated to rotate the inner cylinder 1b while spraying cleaning water from the cleaning water spraying section 2, thereby performing a cleaning process to remove mud adhering to the edamame beans A.

[0065] When this container 1 is changed from the inclined position for putting agricultural products into the container 1 to the inclined position for cleaning and dehydrating agricultural products, this embodiment is provided with an assist mechanism 25 that biases the swinging platform 3b to tilt, so that the heavy container 1 with edamame A put into it can be changed to the inclined position with little force.

[0066] Furthermore, in this cleaning process, as described above, the container 1 is tilted at an angle of 67° from the vertical direction (23° from the horizontal direction) and the inner cylinder 1b is rotated while spraying cleaning water onto the edamame A to clean it. As a result, the rotation of the inner cylinder 1b causes the edamame A to rub against each other, creating a frictional effect, which allows dirt such as soil and mud adhering to the edamame A to be efficiently removed using a small amount of water.

[0067] During the washing process, the mud removed from the edamame A flows, together with the washing water, toward the outer cylinder 1a through the numerous through holes 5a, 5b, 5c provided in the inner cylinder 1b, and is discharged to the outside through the discharge outlet 8 provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1a.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a mud residue prevention section 6 is provided on the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 1b, and multiple mud discharge holes 18 are provided along the periphery of this mud residue prevention section 6.Therefore, mud that collects in the center of the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 1b is guided to the mud discharge holes 18 by the tapered peripheral section 6a provided on the mud residue prevention section 6 and is smoothly discharged outside the inner cylinder 1b, thereby preventing mud from remaining as much as possible and re-adhering to the edamame beans A.

[0069] Next, as shown in Figure 7(c), while the inclined position of the container 1 remains the same as that during the cleaning process, the inner cylinder 1b rotates at a higher speed than during the cleaning process to perform a dehydration process to remove the cleaning water adhering to the edamame A (this embodiment is configured so that the cleaning process and dehydration process are performed automatically and continuously, but the cleaning process and dehydration process may also be performed separately).

[0070] Once the dehydration process is completed, the rotation speed of the storage body 1 (inner cylinder body 1b) slows down, so the tilting operation lever 24 is operated to tilt the oscillating platform 3b, placing the storage body 1 in a crop discharge tilted position at an angle of 97° from the vertical (-7° from the horizontal), as shown in Figure 7(d).This position is maintained by the storage body tilted position maintaining mechanism 4, and after a storage container for storing edamame A is set below the opening of the storage body 1, the lid body 9 (opening / closing lid portion 9b) is opened, and the edamame A in the storage body 1 automatically moves forward and is discharged from the storage body 1, falling into the set storage container and stored therein.

[0071] In this embodiment, as described above, the rotation speed of the container 1 (inner cylindrical body 1b) is automatically changed in each process, but it is of course possible to manually perform each process individually.

[0072] In this way, this embodiment can perform both washing and dehydration processes, eliminating the need for carrying the device between washing and dehydration processes as in the past.Furthermore, even after dehydration, it is an innovative edamame washing device that allows edamame A to be easily removed from the container 1 (inner cylinder 1b) without having to lift the heavy container.

[0073] The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment, and the specific configuration of each component can be designed as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
