3 is a view showing another embodiment of an agricultural product cleaning apparatus using bubbles according to the present invention.

Fig. 4 is a view showing the use state according to Fig. 3. Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the cleaning unit 200 is connected to the arrangement unit 100 to clean the fruit 10, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, The washing water 30 can be firmly washed through the washing water 30 because the washing water 30 for the washing water 30 is received inside.

The washing water 30 contained in the washing unit 200 is harmless to the human body when the fruit 10 is consumed while the fruit 10 is cleaned by mixing the chlorine dioxide (ClO 2) .

The washing unit 200 includes a chlorine dioxide generator 210 for generating chlorine dioxide water and a chlorine dioxide generator 210 for generating chlorine dioxide water generated in the chlorine dioxide generator 210, And a supply nozzle 220 for supplying the cleaning water 30.

The chlorine dioxide water has excellent germicidal effect, minimizes the number of aerobic bacteria and molds, and is harmless to the human body. Therefore, the fruit 10 can be cleaned by mixing with the washing water 30.

The temperature of the washing water 30 is preferably 15 to 25 占 폚 so that the chlorine dioxide water can be dissolved smoothly.

Here, when 1 liter of a 1000 ppm solution of chlorine dioxide and 9 liters of water are mixed, 10 liters of chlorine dioxide of 100 ppm is produced.

Then, when 2 liters of a chlorine dioxide water solution of 100 ppm and 8 liters of water are mixed, 10 liters of chlorine dioxide of 20 ppm is produced.

Based on this, it is preferable that chlorine dioxide water is mixed with the washing water 30 so that the washing water 30 forms chlorine dioxide water of 20 to 30 ppm.

More specifically, the washing unit 200 preferably allows the fruit 10 to be washed for 60 to 120 seconds in the washing water 30 having 20 to 30 ppm of chlorine dioxide.

The reason why the washing water 30 forms the chlorine dioxide water of 20 to 30 ppm is because the number of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi in the washing water 30 whose chlorine dioxide number is 20 ppm or more is remarkably reduced.

If the chlorine dioxide count exceeds 30 ppm, the cost of producing chlorine dioxide water is increased, and the number of microbes is minimized in the wash water 30 having the chlorine dioxide content of 20 ppm or more. Therefore, It is unnecessary to exceed the number of 30 ppm.

In addition, the reason why the fruit 10 is washed for 60 to 120 seconds in the washing water 30 having 20 to 30 ppm of chlorine dioxide is that when the fruit 10 is washed for less than 60 seconds, And the time consumed to do so becomes insufficient.

In addition, when the fruit 10 is washed for more than 120 seconds, unnecessary power resources are consumed in minimizing the number of microorganisms.

As a result, it is preferable that the fruit 10 is washed for 60 to 120 seconds in the washing water 30 having 20 to 30 ppm of chlorine dioxide water.

The washing unit 200 may include a flow controller 10 for controlling the flow of the fruit 10 so that the fruit 10 may be washed in the washing water 30 having 20 to 30 ppm of chlorine dioxide for 60 to 120 seconds, (Not shown).

In addition, when the opening and closing plate 274 is closed by a plurality of openings in the opening and closing plate 274, the flow controller 270 allows the washing water 30 to flow, and the flow of the fruit 10 is blocked (Not shown).

That is, the flow controller 270 may be disposed to enter the wash water 30 from an intermediate portion of the washing unit 200. More specifically, the sub motor 276, the rotating shaft 272, The plate 278 is disposed to be exposed to the outside of the upper portion of the washing unit 200 and the opening and closing plate 274 is disposed to enter the washing water 30 inside the washing unit 200.

The opening and closing plate 274 may be arranged in the width direction of the washing unit 200 to block the flow of the fruit 10 in the washing unit 200.

When the opening and closing plate 274 closes the inside of the washing unit 200, the flow of the fruit 10 is interrupted through the sorting groove 275 of the opening and closing plate 274, Is freely flowable.

The reason why the opening and closing plate 274 closes the inside of the washing unit 200 and interrupts the flow of the fruit 10 is that the fruit 10 has washing water 30 (chlorine dioxide) forming 20 to 30 ppm of chlorine dioxide ) For 60 to 120 seconds.

After the fruit room 10 is interrupted by the opening and closing plate 274 and cleaned in the washing water 30 for 60 to 120 seconds, the fruit room 10 is opened to the feeding unit 400 while the opening / closing plate 274 is opened. .

Here, since the fruit cell 10 flows in the washing water 30 of the washing unit 200 as described above, a duplicate description will be omitted.

The servomotor 276 is a rotary shaft 272 that operates by the power of the sub motor 276 and the rotary shaft 272 The opening / closing plate 274 is interlocked.

The operation of opening and closing the opening / closing plate 274 is performed by the user by operating the operating plate 278 and inputting a command according to a desired setting.

Thus, the fruit chamber 10 can be cleaned through the flow controller 270.

The fruit 10 washed through the flow controller 270 is conveyed through the conveyor 410 while being in contact with the upper surface of the conveyor 410.
