As described above, a large number of vegetable and potato cleaning devices have been proposed, but no optimal cleaning device has been found for cucumbers and yacons that have strong mud adhesion and are susceptible to root vegetables. In this invention, it is a subject to wash | clean reliably the mud adhering firmly on the surface of a root vegetable, or a dividing part, without damaging a root vegetable itself.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, in the device of claim 1,
A cylindrical or polygonal rotary drum having a rotating means and lined with a cushioning agent such as a sponge sheet, a cleaning liquid injection pipe for injecting a cleaning liquid provided inside the rotary drum, and the cleaning liquid injection pipe In a cleaning apparatus constituted by a cleaning liquid supply pump for supplying cleaning liquid, root vegetables are filled in the rotating drum, and the root vegetables are cleaned by spraying the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid spray pipe while rotating the rotating drum at a low speed. It is a kind washing device.

In the invention of claim 2,
The root vegetables filled in the rotating drum is sprayed with a cleaning liquid from a cleaning liquid spray pipe while rotating the rotating drum to wash the root vegetables, and then the rotating root drum is rotated at high speed to dehydrate the cleaned root vegetables. Item 10. A root vegetable cleaning apparatus according to Item 1.

In the device of claim 3,
A rotating drum is installed with an inclination, a lid is provided at one end of the rotating drum on the downstream side, root vegetables are filled in the rotating drum, washed and dehydrated, and then the lid is opened to rotate the rotating drum at a low speed. It is a root vegetables washing | cleaning apparatus of Claim 1 and 2 which discharges | sucks a kind automatically.

In the present invention, root vegetables are filled in a cylindrical or polygonal rotating drum lined with a cushioning agent such as a sponge sheet, the rotating drum is rotated at a low speed, and the root vegetables are gently rolled as the rotating drum rotates. In order to clean the mud adhering to the surface of the root vegetables and the dividing portion by spraying the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid injection pipe provided inside the rotary drum while spraying the root vegetables, There is no opportunity for certain root vegetables to collide with the metal parts that make up the rotating drum, and the root vegetables can be reliably washed without damaging them.

FIG. 1 is an overall view of a root vegetable cleaning apparatus to which the present invention is applied, and FIG. 2 is a side view of a rotating drum of the root vegetable cleaning apparatus to which the present invention is applied.

An embodiment of a root vegetable cleaning apparatus to which the present invention is applied will be described.
The root vegetable cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes a rotating drum (1), a cleaning liquid injection pipe (2), and a cleaning liquid supply pump (3). First, the rotating drum (1) has a driving ring (6a) (6b) fastened to the outer periphery of both ends of a cylindrical rotating drum casing (4), and a sponge is formed inside the rotating drum casing (4). A sheet (7) is lined. In addition, when the rotary drum (1) is filled with root vegetables in the casing openings (5a) and (5b) and rotated, the root vegetables are prevented from spilling from the rotary drum (1). Sheets (8a) and (8b) are arranged. Further, the rings (6a) and (6b) fastened to the outer circumferences of both ends of the rotating drum casing (4) are supported by rollers (9a) and (9b), and at least one of the rollers (9a) and (9b) is a motor (10 ) And rotationally connected to the output shaft.

Next, the cleaning liquid injection pipe (2) is inserted into the rotating drum (1), and the cleaning liquid injection pipe (2) and the discharge port (13) of the cleaning liquid supply pump (3) are connected by a pipe (14). . The cleaning liquid (not shown) supplied by the cleaning liquid supply pump (3) is a root vegetable (15) filled in the rotary drum (1) from the nozzle (11) opened in the axial direction of the cleaning liquid injection pipe. ) Injected vigorously.

Next, the usage method of the root vegetable washing | cleaning apparatus of this invention is demonstrated.
First, an appropriate amount of root vegetables (15) to be washed is filled in the rotating drum (1). The appropriate amount is such that when the rotating drum (1) rotates, the root vegetables (15) do not spill from the donut-like sponge sheets (8a) (8b) provided at both ends of the rotating drum (1). In addition, the amount of the cleaning liquid sprayed from the cleaning liquid spray pipe (2) can be efficiently sprayed onto the root vegetables (15). In the embodiment, the inner diameter of the rotating drum (1) is 600 mm, and the inner diameter of the donut-like sponge sheets (8a) and (8b) provided at both ends of the rotating drum is 300 mm. Therefore, the filling height of the root vegetables (15) is also 150 mm. The degree.

When the rotating drum (1) and the cleaning liquid supply pump (3) are started in this way, the root vegetables (15) filled in the rotating drum (1) rolls naturally with the rotation of the rotating drum (1). Since the cleaning liquid sprayed vigorously from the spray pipe (2) to the root vegetables (15) can be sprayed evenly onto the surface of the root vegetables (15), it adheres firmly to the surface of the root vegetables (15) and the distribution part. Mud can be washed efficiently

Since the root vegetables can be efficiently washed by the present invention, it can be expected to be used in the field of feeding many people such as schools, hospitals, and Self-Defense Forces.

1 shows an overall view of a root vegetable cleaning apparatus to which the present invention is applied. The side view of the rotating drum of the root vegetable washing apparatus to which this invention is applied is shown.
