Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention is a brush that removes dirt and pesticides without damaging the epidermis of fruits and vegetables, and can be produced very cheaply and easily even by farmers. It is related to brushes.

Fruits such as spiral apples, persimmons, and mandarin oranges, and vegetables such as tomatoes,
When shipping to the market, in order to remove dirt and pesticides and clean the epidermis, the product is currently rolled over a roller brush made of natural or synthetic hair to remove dirt, etc. The skin of some fruits and vegetables is thin and easily damaged, which can cause rot and reduce product value.

The disadvantage of bristle roller brushes is that the bristles are elongated and have a sharp tip, which can cause damage.

Furthermore, natural hair is particularly expensive, and it is impossible for farmers to bundle it into roller brushes.

Also, if you do not replace the bristle roller/brush with a bristle roller/brush that has a hardness appropriate for the item being cleaned, the bristle roller/brush may be too strong or too weak, will not conform to the shape of the item, and will take longer to clean or may not completely clean. Since it is not possible to remove dirt, etc., several types of expensive bristle rollers and brushes are required, which poses a heavy economic burden.

The sponge roller brush of the present invention is as shown in the drawings.

Figure C is a quadrilateral, the second is a triangle, and Figure H is a hexagon, with a thickness of 5
It is a sponge of 4Qm/m to 4Qm/m.

This sponge is inserted spirally or irregularly into the roller shaft of more than a dozen or more sponges.
Figure A and Figure 2 are perspective views of the roller brush.

The figure shows the gear for rotating this roller.

Figure 1 shows the fruit being cleaned as it rotates between the sponge, roller, and brush.

In Figure A, sponges of the same shape are used, and the opening is a combination of sponges of different shapes, but two or more rollers of the same shape in Figure A may be used side by side, and mouth,
Sometimes two or more combination rollers are used side by side.

Depending on the item to be cleaned, replace it appropriately.

The surfaces of sponges, rollers, and brushes in which square sponges are inserted in a spiral or irregular manner have many irregularities, the surface area becomes large, and irregular peaks and valleys are formed.
The direction in which the fruit, etc. rolls is not constant, and it rotates irregularly, sinking in the valleys, so that the skin of the fruit evenly contacts not only the surface of the sponge, roller, or brush, but also the sides. This dramatically increases the contact area and improves efficiency.

The thickness of the sponge is 5 to 4Qm/m.
When the sponge becomes thinner than m, it has uneven peaks and valleys and becomes less elastic, making it difficult for fruits etc. to rotate irregularly.
This reduces dents caused by the weight of fruits, etc., and the contact area with the sponge, roller, and brush becomes smaller, reducing efficiency.

In addition, when the temperature exceeds 4Qm/m, a space is created in the concave valley where the fruit etc. cannot come into contact with the surface, and
The surface area also decreases, resulting in a decrease in efficiency.

As shown in the figure, inserting square sponges in a spiral or irregular manner is different from, for example, if square sponges are aligned and inserted into the mandrel, they will form a square tube shape, and of course fruit etc. will not flow smoothly. By inserting them irregularly, a large surface area can be obtained.

The present invention enables surface treatment of fruits and vegetables.

That is, if a water-absorbing sponge sheet is used, it is natural that moisture or chemical liquid can be applied to the object, and it can also be wiped off.

As mentioned above, things that could not be done without a so-called hair roller brush have not only become possible, but also can be done without damaging the product, at a high efficiency, and at an incomparably low price. It is a sponge, roller, and brush that can be made by farmers and can also be used for surface treatment.
