Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a root vegetable washing machine that can peel and wash root vegetables such as carrots, burdock, and potatoes in one machine.

(Prior art) A partition plate with an arc-shaped notch along each brush roll is installed in a cleaning tank in which a plurality of brush rolls are arranged in an arc shape inside the tank. A root vegetable washer that can be divided into two sections is known from Publication of Utility Model Publication No. 59-37035 filed by the present applicant, etc., but such conventional devices are designed for cleaning only. Therefore, peeling must be done with a separate peeling machine, which is inefficient.

(Problems that the invention attempts to solve) This invention solves these conventional problems,
It was developed for the purpose of being a root vegetable washer that can peel and wash root vegetables.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention provides a cleaning tank in which a plurality of brush rolls are arranged in an arc shape, and a partition plate provided with an arc-shaped notch at the lower end along each brush roll. In the root vegetable washer, the partition plate has an engaging portion at the upper end attached to a partition plate holder attached at a required interval to the upper edge of the washing tank. They are engaged and fixed by pins, and the brush roll is characterized in that a peeling brush part is followed by a cleaning brush part.

(Embodiments) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

1 is a rectangular cleaning tank, 2 is a plurality of brush rolls arranged in an arc shape in the longitudinal direction inside the cleaning tank 1, and each brush roll 2 has a cleaning brush part in a peeling brush part. one end of which is equipped with a sprocket 3, and each sprocket 3 is connected to the second sprocket.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 3, it is connected by a chain 7 to a sprocket 6 of a speed reducer 5 driven by a motor 4, and rotates continuously in the counterclockwise direction in FIG. Reference numerals 8 and 9 designate a plurality of pairs of partition plate holders attached to the upper edge 10 of the cleaning tank 1 at appropriate intervals. Each of the partition brackets 8 and 9 is made up of two flat plates that are erected with a small gap between them, and may be directly fixed to the upper edge 10 of the cleaning tank 1, but in this embodiment, the upper edge 10 The partition plate holders 8 and 9 are attached to the top surface of the board 11 that follows the shape of the board 11.
are fixed by fasteners 12 at both ends of the upper edge 10 of the cleaning tank 1, so that the partition plate holders 8 and 9 can be removed from the cleaning tank 1 together with the substrate 11. Reference numeral 13 designates an arbitrary number of partition plates supported by these partition plate holders 8 and 9. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the partition plate 13 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped notches 14 along the brush roll 2 at its lower end, and has partition plate holders 8 and 9 fitted on both sides of its upper end. Engagement parts 15, 16 that can be
It is a projecting structure. Such a partition plate 13 is removably attached to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 by fitting the respective engaging portions 15 and 16 into the respective partition plate holders 8 and 9 as shown in the figure. In order to prevent the roll 2 from floating due to rotation, the partition plate receivers 8 and 9 and the engaging portions 15 and 16 can be fixed with a through pin 17. Note that 18 is a door for taking out contents that is opened and closed by rotating a lever 19, and 20 is a water sprinkling pipe that has many pores and can freely rise and fall.

(Function) With this structure, if root vegetables are put into the washing tank 1 and washing water is spouted from the sprinkler pipe 20 and the motor 4 is driven to rotate the speed reducer 5, the washing tank will be finished. A suitable number of brush rolls 2 arranged in an arc shape inside the brush roll 1 are rotated by a sprocket 3 which is rotated through a chain 7.
It is the same as in conventional devices of this type to wash the root vegetables in contact with the brush rolls 2 by rotating them on their own axis using the elasticity of the tips of the brush rolls 2. However, in the present invention, a suitable The interior of the cleaning tank 1 is connected to the partition plate 1 by fitting the engaging parts 15 and 16 at the upper end of the partition plate 13 into the plurality of pairs of partition plate holders 8 and 9 installed at intervals and fixing them with pins 17.
3 into a plurality of chambers, and since the brush roll 2 has a peeling brush section followed by a cleaning brush section, it is possible to carry out peeling in one chamber while cleaning the other chamber. Since the washing process can be carried out with a machine and there is no need to prepare a washing machine and a peeling machine, the peeling and cleaning work can be carried out economically and efficiently. Moreover, the root vegetables are piled up in each chamber formed by the partition plate 13 while applying a predetermined pressure to the brush roll 2, and among the root vegetables, those that are in contact with the brush roll 2 are piled up on the brush roll 2. Each brush roll 2 rotates under the pressure of root vegetables that are not in contact with the root vegetables, and rotates due to the elasticity of the tip of each brush roll 2, and as it rolls, it is reliably cleaned or peeled. Since an arc-shaped notch 14 is formed along the roll 2, the partition plate 13 and the brush roll 2
Root vegetables being washed will not enter the adjacent room from between the Further, the partition plate 13 can be fixed with a pin 17 by engaging the engaging portions 15 and 16 at the upper end with the partition plate holders 8 and 9 attached to the upper edge 10 of the cleaning tank 1 at a required interval. Since the partition plate 13 is curved, it can be attached and detached and its position can be changed, and there is no fear of the partition plate 13 lifting up.

(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the explanation of the above embodiments, the present invention divides the interior of the cleaning tank with a partition plate, and the cleaning brush part of the brush roll is connected to the peeling brush part. By using this machine, root vegetables can be peeled and washed in one machine, making it efficient and economical.
The upper end of the partition plate engages with the partition plate brackets installed at the required intervals on the upper edge of the washing tank, and is fixed with pins, so the partition plate can be attached/detached and its position changed. In addition, it has various advantages such as no risk of lifting, and the partition plate can be removed to use it as a regular washer.This root vegetable cleaning solution eliminates the problems of conventional root vegetable peeling and cleaning. The practical value of this machine is extremely great.
