Abstract

Machine equipped with a cylinder with a channel for washing the fruit, with an outer filter of perforated sheet equipped with a screw for discharging the fruit, the washing channel consisting, at its entry, of a branch conduit, and with screws for entraining the impurities and with perforated pallets, also being equipped with a reservoir which acts as a water-settling tank. This reservoir has a regulating valve which is inclined downwards in order to prevent the liquids spilling and thus directly flowing into a drainage manhole, and the support feet (legs) of a vibrating tray with the support bed are provided with springs 27 inserted in bushes 28.

Description

Olive washing machine.

The present invention relates to improvements introduced into the machine washing machine of olive object of the Spanish invention patent No. 2114775.

Washing machines are already known olives, being able to cite as an example the collection in the Model of Spanish Utility No. 1019742, filed on December 24, 1991, on behalf of Remolques y Maquinaria Agrícola, S.A. Machine collection in this Utility Model is characterized because it consists in two concentric trommels, one inside for separation and removal of impurities and other exterior intended for draining, and whose speed axis is inclined with respect to a bench supported on a structure of a container as a raft.

Spanish Invention Patent no. 546,270, Issued in the name of Antonio Ortega Jurado, picks up a machine olive washing machine with triple wash effect, equipped with a automatic and continuous firing system without animated mechanisms of relative motion with each other, as well as a mechanism of drained of the fruit, solidary with the wash drum. All the set is mounted on a chassis that allows displacement Total machine without the need to disassemble any part.

Faced with the prior art discussed, it incorporate in the machine washing machine of olive object of the present invention a series of new components, suppressing others, which allows to obtain a direct and ostensible improvement in quality of the processed product, in this case the olive, which goes, so Therefore, for the benefit of the consumer.

Thus, according to the invention, the machine olive washer, consisting of a cylinder for washing the fruit, machine that is driven by a reduction motor with sprockets and chain, the washing channel consisting of its entrance in a bypass duct, and of drag propellers of the impurities and perforated vanes, also equipped with a raft that acts as a water decanter tank and that in its lower part consists of an auger for evacuation of mud, incorporates as improvements the forecast of a band perforated to collect the olive that leaves a trommel or internal filter, band in which the water that accompanies the drain drains olive; water showers for olive rinsing washed in a closed circuit, said showers being arranged alternative and covering the entire width of the perforated band; high pressure turbines incorporated throughout the width of the perforated band, intended to completely remove water from the olive and finally a tape intended to collect the olive once washed, rinsed and dried.

There are also improvements introduced in the olive washing machine object of the Patent of Spanish invention No. 2114775 the fact that the shower water It is dispersed by diffusers. It has also proceeded to remove the outer perforated plate filter with propeller for the olive drag.

A form of preferred embodiment of the olive washing machine object of the invention, with the help of the accompanying drawings, owing understand that the invention is not limited at all to the form of realization represented. In these drawings, the only figure shows a side elevation view of the olive washing machine with the improvements object of the invention.

Referring to the figure, it shows the washing machine (1) consisting of a cylinder (2) inclined. This cylinder (2) is internally provided with a channel (not shown) for washing the fruit, and a siphon (not represented) for its separation. In the front of the cylinder (2) is provided a support to support some wheels (4) where a rolling ring is supported (5). This same support is used to fix the product input channel using profiles (6) and to incorporate an exit channel of stones, leaned by under this exit channel a water recovery channel. He front set of olive washing machine incorporates a washing channel at the beginning in the form of a hopper (10) where It will house the fruit with impurities.

On the back of the bench (11) is incorporated a support (not shown), in which a support (not shown) by screws for the support of a gear motor (15), with a pinion and chain transmission that transmits the movement to an axis.

A perforated band is also provided (29) intended to collect the olive that leaves the inner trommel, band that, extending across the width of the tape, drains more effective the water that has said fruit. Are also built-in showers (30) of network water, required requirement by the new regulations, for the rinsing of the washed olive in closed circuits. These showers (30) are arranged so alternated covering the entire width of the perforated band (29), and dispersed by diffusers to reduce the water consumption of the net.

Turbines (31) of high pressure, which are responsible for eliminating all of the olive water after rinsing it. Finally, it is also provided a tape (32), preferably of poly (vinyl chloride), which is responsible for collecting the olive washed, rinsed and dried, and that is what transports this fruit to the desired side depending on the needs.

The foregoing is a description of a form of preferred embodiment of the washing machine of the present invention, it should be understood that by experts in the subject modifications and alterations may be conceived in the washing machine object of this invention to be considered included in this application provided they do not alter the scope of the invention.

Claims (2)
