The present invention relates to an agricultural product automatic washing machine that cleanly removes foreign substances from agricultural products such as ginseng, deodeok, bellflower harvested in the field, and chestnuts, and more specifically, randomly inputs agricultural products harvested from the field into the washing machine. The present invention relates to an agricultural product automatic washer that cleans the agricultural products by the injection pressure of the washing water and then discharges them automatically to the outside.

In general, after harvesting ginseng, deodeok, bellflower, etc. from the field, the harvested agricultural products contain a lot of soil, so they can not be processed and processed, so they must go through a washing process to remove the soil and foreign substances from the agricultural products.

1 is a vertical cross-sectional view illustrating a conventional automatic washing machine, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of FIG. 1, in which a washing chamber 11 and a rinsing chamber 12 are provided inside the washing machine, and pumps the washing water on the lower left and right sides thereof. A motor 4 for rotating the pump 3 and the drive sprockets 13 and 14 is provided, and a supply stand 5 is provided at the top of the main body on which agricultural products to be washed are placed.

Inside the washing chamber 11, a plurality of washing rotating brushes 1 and fixed brushes 2 are installed up and down, respectively, so that the washing rotating brush 1 is rotated by the motor 4 and the drive chain 17. When the agricultural products in the supply stand (5) is introduced into the washing chamber 11 in the process of doing so, when the injected agricultural products repeatedly move the washing space 19 to the left and right, the fixed brush (2) and the washing rotary brush (1). It is to be washed clean by.

In this process, the overflow tube 7 is installed so that the washing water can always be maintained at the proper level, and the excess washing water is discharged to the outside. The drain pipe 6 is provided so that it may be easy.

In addition, a rinse transfer conveyor 9 is installed between the washing chamber 11 and the rinsing chamber 12 so that the agricultural products washed in the washing chamber 11 can be transferred to the rinsing chamber 12 side. First washing water pipe 22 having a plurality of spray nozzles (8a) is installed, the washing water is sprayed through the spray nozzle (8a) in the process of the washed agricultural product exits the washing chamber 11 to clean the foreign substances on the agricultural products It is intended to be removed first.

In addition, a second washing water pipe 23 having another injection nozzle 8b is installed at the upper part of the rinsing rotation brush 16 installed in the rinsing chamber 12, so that the agricultural products pass through the rinsing chamber 12. Washing is made to be discharged to the outside of the washing machine through the discharge guide plate (10).

However, the conventional agricultural automatic washing machine automatically removes foreign substances such as soil from agricultural products harvested from the field, thereby helping to improve the quality of agricultural products, but various problems have been generated as follows.

First, since foreign substances such as soil, which are buried in agricultural products, are removed due to the friction between the fixed brush and the rotating brush, there is a concern that the skin of the agricultural products may be damaged.

Second, as the agricultural products are washed in the process of repeatedly passing between the fixed brush and the rotating brush, the washing efficiency is lowered and the time required for washing is delayed, resulting in a decrease in the work efficiency.

Third, the washing water is continuously supplied to the inside of the washing chamber so that the agricultural products are washed in the process of overflowing through the overflow pipe, thereby increasing the amount of washing water used.

Fourth, since the foreign matter separated from the agricultural products did not escape quickly from the washing chamber and floated, it was necessary to spray and remove the washing water through a separate spray nozzle during the transfer to the rinsing chamber, thereby increasing the amount of washing water used.

Fifth, the final rinsing is performed by spraying the washing water through another spray nozzle with a rinsing chamber separate from the washing chamber, resulting in a complicated structure of the equipment as well as an increase in the amount of washing water used.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, so that the structure is improved to clean the foreign substances in the harvested agricultural products without using a separate brush to clean and then automatically discharged to the outside of the washing machine Its purpose is to.

Another object of the present invention by forcibly discharging the foreign substances removed in the process of washing the agricultural products to the outside of the washing machine at the same time to remove the foreign substances by high-pressure spraying only the clean water to the agricultural product moving along the chain conveyor, thereby minimizing the use of the washing water It is to make it possible.

Another object of the present invention is to use a geared motor that can arbitrarily adjust the rotational speed to freely adjust the conveying speed of the chain conveyor according to the type of agricultural products to be cleaned.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a frame, a washing tank is fixed to the inside of the frame and the washing water and agricultural products are added to wash the agricultural product, the discharge portion installed inclined from the washing tank, the washing tank and discharge A chain conveyor installed in the shape of a bent track and transferring the washed agricultural products as the geared motor is driven by the controller, and guide means installed at the bent portion of the chain conveyor to guide the direction of the chain conveyor; A pumping tank provided at one side of the washing tank to fill the washing water in the washing tank with the same water level, a pump for forcibly pumping the washing water in the pumping tank as it flows through the guide tube, and connected to the discharge side of the pump to wash Cleaning to supply high pressure washing water to nozzle and foreign substance removal nozzle In the process of feeding agricultural products made up of supply pipes on the chain conveyor, when the water is sprayed through the cleaning nozzle and the foreign substance removal nozzle by the driving of the pump, the agricultural product is washed with the spraying pressure of the cleaning nozzle and the injection pressure of the foreign substance removal nozzle The agricultural product automatic washing machine is characterized in that the foreign matter generated during the cleaning is discharged to the outside through the discharge passage is made continuously.

The present invention has several advantages as compared to the conventional agricultural product washer.

First, since the agricultural products are washed by the spray pressure of the washing water by the washing nozzle in the process of removing the foreign substances such as soil, which is embedded in the agricultural products, it is possible to fundamentally solve the phenomenon that the skin of the agricultural products is damaged. It will increase your profits.

Second, it is possible to maximize the washing efficiency of the agricultural products by washing the agricultural products while adjusting the transport speed of the chain conveyor according to the type of agricultural products to be washed.

Third, rather than continuously supplying the washing water so that the washing water overflows through the overflow pipe as in the related art, the agricultural water is washed while circulating the washing water supplied into the washing tank, thereby minimizing the amount of washing water used. .

Fourth, since the foreign matter separated from the agricultural product is discharged to the discharge passage located on the opposite side of the agricultural product discharge portion by the foreign substance removal nozzle, it is unnecessary to use the washing water according to the rinsing of the foreign substance.

Fifth, since a separate rinsing chamber is not required, the structure of the equipment can be simplified, so that the washing machine can be widely distributed to farmers at a lower price.
