Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sweet potato starch technology, specifically a sweet potato starch screening device. Background Technology

[0002] Sweet potato starch, also known as yam starch, sweet potato starch, sweet potato starch, yam starch, and mountain starch, can be made from two raw materials: fresh sweet potatoes and dried sweet potatoes. The process involves washing the sweet potatoes, cutting them into large pieces, mashing them into a paste, filtering, letting them stand, washing the sweet potato residue, and filtering again to finally obtain pure, additive-free sweet potato starch. Sweet potato starch is usually filtered using a sweet potato starch screening device.

The right side of the annular filter screen 13 is rotatably connected to the left side of the outlet 9. The left side of the inner interior of the annular filter screen 13 is rotatably connected to the right side of the inlet 7. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner interior of the outer casing 1. A spiral blade 12 is fixedly connected to the right end of the drive shaft.

The output shaft of the second motor 6 is fixedly connected to the left end of the drive shaft. The input end of the second motor 6 is electrically connected to the output end of the microcontroller 5. When the second motor 6 starts, its output shaft rotates, driving the drive shaft to rotate, thus rotating the spiral blades 12.

The input shaft of motor 3 14 is electrically connected to the output shaft of microcontroller 5. When motor 3 14 starts, the output shaft of motor 3 14 rotates, driving rotating shaft to rotate, causing pulley 15 to rotate. Through belt 8, annular filter screen 13 rotates.
