Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wasabi processing technology, specifically to a wasabi grinding device. Background Technology

[0002] Wasabi is a root and stem plant in which the roots, stems, and leaves are all edible, with the root and stem being the most commonly used part. Besides its culinary uses, it also possesses various pharmacological effects, including immunomodulatory properties, antibacterial activity, anticancer activity, and antioxidant activity. Currently, the processing of wasabi involves manual grinding, which is inefficient and increases its cost.

[0003] To improve grinding efficiency, most existing grinding equipment uses a combination of fixed and movable grinding discs to grind materials. Specifically, the material is placed between the fixed and movable grinding discs, and the rotation of the movable grinding disc, combined with the grinding teeth on the disc, cuts the material, thus achieving grinding. The cut material falls off automatically, completing the grinding process. However, existing grinding equipment is not convenient for pushing large pieces of material between the two grinding discs, requiring external force, and it cannot achieve multiple grinding operations, thus failing to guarantee the grinding quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a wasabi grinding device. The grinding device adopts a vertically placed tank with grinding teeth set on the inner wall of the tank. Combined with the fixed grinding disc and the movable grinding disc inside, the material can be automatically pushed to the inner wall of the tank for grinding under the rotation of the movable grinding disc and the action of gravity, eliminating the step of external force pushing the material into the gap of the grinding disc. At the same time, a grinding disc is set at the bottom of the fixed grinding disc. Combined with the guide head at the end of the rotating shaft, the wasabi can be ground again, effectively ensuring the grinding quality and facilitating automated processing. Moreover, the grinding disc is set to a movable installation form, which can be easily disassembled for cleaning or replacement, avoiding blockage and affecting the grinding efficiency.

[0005] This utility model is implemented by constructing a wasabi grinding device, including a tank, which is placed vertically and has several grinding teeth distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the tank.

[0006] A screw conveyor mechanism is located below the tank and is connected to the bottom of the tank via a connecting hopper;

[0007] A fixed grinding disc is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the tank.

[0008] The movable grinding disc is installed inside the tank via a rotating shaft that runs through the center of the top of the tank and maintains a gap with the fixed grinding disc. The material is ground by the rotation of the movable grinding disc and its interaction with the inner wall of the tank and the fixed grinding disc.

[0009] The grinding disc is movably installed inside the connecting hopper and engages with the guide head at the bottom of the rotating shaft for further grinding.

[0010] Preferably, the tank is kept vertical by external columns.

[0011] Preferably, both the movable grinding disc and the guide head are conical head structures and are arranged in a position where the top is smaller and the bottom is larger. The outer side of the movable grinding disc is provided with first grinding teeth that correspond to the grinding teeth on the inner wall of the tank. The bottom of the movable grinding disc is provided with second grinding teeth. The fixed grinding disc has several grinding holes around its circumference, and a central hole for the rotating shaft to pass through is also provided at the center of the fixed grinding disc.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting hopper is a conical hopper that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom, wherein the top is connected to the bottom of the tank body, and the bottom is provided with a square connecting plate that is connected to the feed port of the screw conveyor mechanism. The square connecting plate has a mounting hole in the horizontal direction, and the grinding disc passes through the mounting hole and is movably connected to the square connecting plate by fasteners.

[0013] Preferably, the grinding disc is installed after the connecting hopper, and grinding holes are evenly opened on the part corresponding to the guide head.

[0014] Preferably, after the grinding disc is installed in the connecting hopper, an installation groove is opened at the position corresponding to the feed head, and a filter screen for grinding is installed in the installation groove.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the tank is also provided with a feed hopper, and a buffer rod is provided on the discharge port of the feed hopper.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] Firstly, this grinding equipment uses a vertically placed tank with grinding teeth on the inner wall, working in conjunction with a fixed grinding disc and a movable grinding disc inside. During the rotation of the movable grinding disc, combined with gravity, the material is automatically pushed to the inner wall of the tank for grinding, eliminating the need for external force to push the material into the gaps between the grinding discs. This effectively simplifies the grinding operation, reduces operational complexity, and improves the smoothness of the grinding process.

[0018] Secondly, grinding discs are installed at the bottom of the fixed grinding disc, and combined with the guide head at the end of the rotating shaft, materials such as wasabi can be ground again. This multi-grinding design allows for more thorough and meticulous grinding of the materials, effectively ensuring grinding quality and making the ground materials more suitable for the high-precision requirements of production and processing.

[0019] Furthermore, the structural design of this grinding equipment facilitates automated processing. By automating the rotation of the moving grinding disc and the material conveying, manual intervention can be reduced, production efficiency improved, labor costs lowered, and the needs of large-scale industrial production met.

[0020] Finally, the grinding discs are designed for easy and quick removal and replacement if they become clogged or worn during operation. This effectively prevents grinding efficiency from being affected by clogging, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the equipment, extending its service life, and reducing maintenance costs.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for illustration and explanation of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way. The accompanying drawings in this utility model are only for illustrative purposes and to facilitate understanding of the embodiments and are not intended to limit this utility model in any way.

[0031] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which the present invention can be implemented. Any modifications to the structure, changes in the proportions, or adjustments to the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that the present invention can produce, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in the present invention.

[0032] As described in the background section, existing grinding equipment requires external force to push the material into the gap between two grinding discs for grinding, which is cumbersome and cannot achieve multiple grinding operations, thus failing to guarantee grinding quality.

[0033] Based on the above reasons, in order to solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0034] Example 1,

[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 A wasabi grinding device includes a tank 1, which is placed vertically and has several grinding teeth distributed circumferentially on the inner wall of the tank 1;

[0036] The screw conveyor 3 is located below the tank 1 and is connected to the bottom of the tank 1 via the connecting bucket 4;

[0037] A fixed grinding disc 9 is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the tank 1;

[0038] The movable grinding disc 8 is installed inside the tank 1 through a rotating shaft 7 that passes through the center of the top of the tank 1 and maintains a gap with the fixed grinding disc 9. The material is ground by the rotation of the movable grinding disc 8 and its combination with the inner wall of the tank 1 and the fixed grinding disc 9.

[0039] The grinding disc 5 is movably installed inside the connecting bucket 4 and is combined with the guide head 10 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 7 for further grinding.

[0040] In this embodiment, the tank 1 is kept vertical by external columns 2.

[0041] Please see the appendix Figure 5In this embodiment, both the movable grinding disc 8 and the guide head 10 are conical head structures and are arranged in a position where the top is smaller and the bottom is larger. The outer side of the movable grinding disc 8 is provided with first grinding teeth that correspond to the grinding teeth on the inner wall of the tank 1. The bottom of the movable grinding disc 8 is provided with second grinding teeth. The fixed grinding disc 9 has several grinding holes around its circumference. The center of the fixed grinding disc 9 is also provided with a central hole for the rotating shaft 7 to pass through.

[0042] In this embodiment, a feed hopper 6 is also provided on the top of the tank body 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, to further improve grinding efficiency and quality, grinding teeth can be provided at the bottom of the feed head 10.

[0044] During grinding, the external drive motor for rotating the shaft 7 and the screw conveyor mechanism 3 are first started. Then, the wasabi to be ground is placed into the tank 1 from the feed hopper 6. Because the movable grinding disc 8 has a conical head structure, the wasabi falls onto the movable grinding disc 8 and automatically moves towards the inner wall of the tank 1 under the action of gravity and centrifugal force. Combined with the inner wall of the tank 1, the grinding teeth, and the first grinding teeth on the side of the movable grinding disc 8, the initial grinding of the wasabi can be achieved. After grinding, the wasabi fragments flow from the gaps between the grinding teeth to the fixed grinding disc 9, and some of the fragments... The chips fall through the grinding holes, while another portion of the chips accumulates on the fixed grinding disc 9 and flows into the gap between the movable grinding disc 8 and the fixed grinding disc 9. Secondary grinding is achieved through the second grinding teeth of the movable grinding disc 8. After grinding, the chips fall through the grinding holes onto the guide head 10 below and slide onto the grinding disc 5. Finally, the chips on the grinding disc 5 are ground again by the rotation of the guide head 10 until they pass through the grinding disc and flow into the screw conveyor mechanism 3. The chips are then conveyed by the internal screw blades for final grinding and conveying, thus completing the overall automated grinding process.

[0045] Example 2,

[0046] Please see the appendix Figure 6 Based on Embodiment 1, a feasible solution is provided here to achieve the fixing and disassembly of the grinding disc. The connecting hopper 4 is a conical hopper that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The top is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1, and the bottom is provided with a square connecting plate that is connected to the feed port of the screw conveyor mechanism 3. An installation hole is opened on the square connecting plate in the horizontal direction. The grinding disc 5 passes through the installation hole and is movably connected to the square connecting plate by fasteners.

[0047] Example 3,

[0048] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, a feasible solution is provided here to achieve the re-grinding of wasabi fragments by the grinding disc. After the grinding disc 5 is installed on the connecting hopper 4, grinding holes are uniformly opened on the part corresponding to the feed head 10.

[0049] Example 4,

[0050] Based on Example 1 or Example 2, another feasible solution is provided to achieve the re-grinding of wasabi fragments by the grinding disc. After the grinding disc 5 is installed on the connecting hopper 4, an installation groove is opened on the part corresponding to the feed head 10. A filter screen for grinding is installed in the installation groove.

[0051] Compared to Example 3, this example uses a filter screen for grinding, which can effectively improve the grinding efficiency.

[0052] Example 5,

[0053] Please see the appendix Figure 7 Based on Example 1, in order to avoid wasabi falling directly onto the movable grinding disc and affecting the stability of the movable grinding disc connection, a feasible solution is provided here: a buffer rod 11 is provided on the discharge port of the feed hopper 6.

[0054] The above description is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the patent application of the present utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made under the technical spirit of the present utility model should fall within the patent scope covered by the present utility model.
