Description

The utility model relates to agriculture and can be used for washing vegetables.

A device for washing root tuber crops is known [Copyright certificate RU patent No. 179546, IPC class. A23N 12/02, 2018], which contains a frame, a drive, loading and unloading trays, a liquid bath, and a rotating perforated drum of an elliptical shape. The disadvantages of this device are the large operating weight and the washing of only root and tuber crops.

The closest analogue to the claimed one, chosen as a prototype, is a device for washing vegetables, [Copyright certificate RU patent No. 220548, IPC class. A23N 12/02, 2023] containing a frame, height-adjustable support legs, a drive, loading and unloading trays, a shower device, a drainage chute, a rotating solid elliptical drum having hermetically sealed segments at the ends along the major axis at the vertices of the ellipse.

The disadvantage of the prototype is low performance.

The technical result of the utility model is increased productivity.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the device for washing vegetables contains a frame, height-adjustable support legs, a drive, loading and unloading trays, a shower device, a gutter, a rotating solid elliptical drum having hermetically sealed segments at the ends along the major axis at the vertices of the ellipse , and hollow longitudinal ribs with a cross section in the form of a half ring are welded inside the drum.

This set of essential features ensures that the proposed device for washing vegetables has new properties that differ from the prototype.

Thus, the declared features of the utility model meet the “novelty” criterion.

In fig. 1 shows a diagram of a device for washing vegetables, side view; Fig. 2 - section A-A in Fig. 1.

A device for washing vegetables containing a frame 2, FIG. 1, height-adjustable support legs 3, drive 9, loading 5 and unloading 10 trays, shower device 6, gutter 4, rotating solid elliptical drum 8, which has hermetically sealed segments 7 at the ends along the major axis at the vertices of the ellipse, and inside the drum Hollow longitudinal ribs 13 with a cross section in the form of a half ring are welded.

The vegetable washing device works as follows.

From the loading tray 5, contaminated vegetables enter the elliptical drum 8, which rotates from the drive 9 (Fig. 1). In this case, liquid 11 is supplied from the shower device 6 into the drum 8 (Fig. 2). In a vertical position, the lower narrow part of the elliptical drum 8 is filled with vegetables 12 and liquid 11 along the upper edge of the segments 7. During the rotation of the drum 8, vegetables roll inside along its generatrix, interact with each other and the flow of moving liquid 11. In the horizontal position of the ellipse, vegetables and liquid 11 dispersed over a wide part of the elliptical drum 8 (Fig. 2). With further rotation, the vegetables, together with the liquid 11, fall back into the narrow part of the drum 8 with segments 7. Thus, the vegetables are continuously mixed, washed on all sides and gradually move along the drum 8. The required tilt angle of the drum 8 is set by height-adjustable screw heels 1 support legs 3. The washed vegetables are captured by the drum 8 and thrown into the unloading tray 5. And the contaminated liquid 11 periodically flows out from the ends of the drum 8 in a horizontal position into the gutter 4 and is drained into the water intake device. Consequently, a constantly renewed dynamic flow of liquid 10 is created inside the rotating elliptical drum 4, as a result of which there is no need for a bath to fill it with liquid and immerse the drum in it.

Hollow longitudinal ribs 13 welded inside the drum, fig. 2, with a cross-section in the form of a half ring, act upon the rotation of the drum 8 on the vegetables 12 in the liquid and carry out more active mixing, speeding up the washing process and increasing the productivity of the installation.

Thus, the stated technical result is achieved.
