[0018] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, a lotus root slicing device for processing lotus roots according to this application includes a conveying roller 1 for conveying lotus roots to the cutting area. The conveying roller 1 is usually located at the bottom or middle of the device and is electrically driven to achieve continuous conveying. Its surface is provided with an anti-slip structure to ensure the lotus roots move forward stably and avoid displacement or deviation during the conveying process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the cutting operation.

[0020] The cutting disc 2 is positioned above the conveying roller 1 and forms a clamping channel with the conveying roller 1 for slicing lotus roots. The cutting disc 2 typically consists of multiple interlocking circular blades fixed on a rotating shaft, which slices the lotus roots passing through the clamping channel as it rotates. The relative position between the cutting disc and the conveying roller 1 is precisely adjusted to ensure uniform cutting thickness and smooth clamping of the lotus roots.

[0021] The cleaning scraper 3 is located on one side of the cutting disc 2, and its side is in close contact with the cutting disc 2. It is used to remove lotus root juice residue adhering to the surface of the cutting disc 2. The cleaning scraper 3 is usually made of flexible material and has a certain degree of elasticity, which allows it to conform to the working surface of the cutting disc 2 without damaging the disc surface. The scraper is installed on one side of the cutting disc 2 by a fixed bracket to ensure continuous cleaning of the disc surface during the cutting process.

[0022] The guide channel 4 is located below the cleaning scraper 3 and connected to the waste collection device, used to collect and discharge the cleaned lotus root juice residue. The guide channel 4 is generally an inclined channel structure, which facilitates the rapid introduction of the cleaned residue into the waste pipe or collection hopper. This channel is usually lined with material to prevent corrosion from the lotus root juice and to facilitate subsequent cleaning work.

[0023] The cleaning scraper 3 has a first protrusion 31, which is located at the front edge of the cleaning scraper 3 and extends toward the cutting disc 2. This structure can enhance the fit between the cleaning scraper 3 and the cutting disc 2, especially when dealing with large areas of lotus root juice residue, thus improving the scraping effect. The design of the first protrusion 31 can effectively increase the friction and contact area during scraping, preventing lotus root juice residue from remaining on the edge of the cutting disc 2.

[0024] The cleaning scraper 3 has a second groove 32, which is located in the middle of the cleaning scraper 3 and forms a gap with the outer periphery of the cutting disc 2. This groove design allows the cutting disc 2 to maintain a certain distance from the cleaning scraper 3 during rotation, which does not affect the normal rotation of the disc, but also effectively removes residue when the disc passes a certain position. This design helps to extend the service life of the scraper and reduce disc wear.

[0025] The cleaning scraper 3 is equipped with a third fixing block 33, which is integrally formed with the cleaning scraper 3 and connected to the support frame by screws. The third fixing block 33 not only improves the overall stability of the cleaning scraper 3, but also facilitates its adjustment or replacement during use. The connection method of screw fastening satisfies the fixing requirements while also allowing for the disassembly and maintenance of the components.

[0026] This feature, through the installation of a specially shaped cleaning scraper 3 on one side of the cutting disc 2, allows for continuous cleaning of lotus root juice residue on the disc surface without stopping the machine. The first protrusion 31 enhances the scraping effect, the second groove 32 provides adequate clearance for smooth operation, and the third fixing block 33 ensures the stability of the cleaning scraper 3. These three elements work together to effectively remove lotus root juice residue adhering to the surface of the cutting disc 2 without stopping the machine, thus improving the automation level and operational efficiency of the device.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the conveying roller 1 of a lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application includes a plurality of parallel rolling shafts 11, which are connected by a conveyor belt 12. These rolling shafts 11 are evenly distributed along the length of the device to support and drive the lotus root along a predetermined path, ensuring its stable transport to the cutting area. The conveyor belt 12 surrounds the rolling shafts 11 and achieves cyclic motion through a drive mechanism, thereby continuously transporting the lotus root from the input end to below the cutting disc 2. This structure improves the conveying efficiency and stability of the lotus root, ensuring the continuity of the cutting process.

[0028] Specifically, the rolling shaft 11 of the conveyor roller 1 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 12 through meshing or sleeve connection, ensuring that the rolling shaft 11 can drive the conveyor belt to operate synchronously. Meanwhile, both ends of the rolling shaft 11 are mounted on supports on both sides of the frame via bearings, allowing the rolling shaft 11 to rotate smoothly and preventing transmission failure due to excessive resistance. Furthermore, the conveyor belt is made of rubber or polyurethane material with a certain degree of elasticity and wear resistance to adapt to the conveying needs of lotus roots of different diameters and reduce frictional loss.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in one embodiment, the cutting disc 2 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application has a disc-shaped structure, and its surface is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed slicing blades 21. The blades are arranged at intervals along the circumference to ensure that the lotus root is evenly cut when passing through. The blades are set at a certain angle to the axis of the cutting disc 2, so that they can better cut into the lotus root tissue during slicing, thereby improving slicing efficiency and surface smoothness. The inclination direction of the blades matches the lotus root conveying direction, which helps to reduce cutting resistance and improve cutting quality.

[0030] Specifically, the cutting disc 2 is mounted on a support frame via bearings and is driven to rotate by a drive motor. The slicing blade 21 is fixed to the outer edge of the cutting disc 2, and the inclination angle of the blade is achieved by machining a bevel on the edge of the cutting disc 2. The leading edge of the blade is inclined forward relative to the center line of the cutting disc 2. The installation position of the blade is matched with the lotus root conveying channel to ensure that the lotus root can be effectively cut when passing through the clamping channel.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning scraper 3 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application is made of elastic material, and its bottom is provided with a wear-resistant layer 34 to reduce frictional damage between it and the cutting disc 2. This structural design aims to improve the service life of the cleaning scraper 3 and reduce wear problems caused by long-term contact with the cutting disc 2. The cleaning scraper 3 is disposed on one side of the cutting disc 2, with one side in close contact with the surface of the cutting disc 2, so as to effectively clean the cutting disc 2 during operation. The wear-resistant layer 34 covers the bottom area of ​​the cleaning scraper 3 to ensure that it is not easily damaged by friction during movement.

[0032] Specifically, the cleaning scraper 3 achieves flexible contact through an elastic material, allowing it to adaptively adjust to minute changes in the surface of the cutting disc 2. Simultaneously, a wear-resistant coating or a hard metal sheet is embedded in the bottom of the cleaning scraper 3, providing strong wear resistance during continuous contact with the cutting disc 2. This wear-resistant layer 34 is directly disposed in the area where the cleaning scraper 3 contacts the cutting disc 2, ensuring stability and durability during the cleaning process.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the guide trough 4 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application is an inclined U-shaped trough 41 with a drainage hole 42 at the bottom for discharging lotus root juice residue into a waste collection device. A filter screen 43 is installed inside the guide trough 4 to intercept larger lotus root residue particles, preventing them from entering the drainage system and causing blockages. This structure ensures efficient separation and effective treatment of liquid and solid waste generated during the cutting process, guaranteeing the stability and cleanliness of the equipment operation.

[0034] For example, the flow guide trough 4 is fixed below the cutting disc 2 by welding or bolting. The U-shaped trough 41 is inclined along the cutting direction, so that the lotus root juice residue flows smoothly to the drain hole 42 under the action of gravity. The filter screen 43 is installed inside the flow guide trough 4. It adopts a mesh structure and is embedded in the trough body, which is tightly attached to the side wall of the trough body to form a closed space to restrict the passage of large particles.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first protrusion 31 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application has a triangular structure with an arc-shaped front end to improve the scraping efficiency of lotus root juice residue on the surface of the cutting disc 2. The first protrusion 31 is located at the leading edge of the cleaning scraper 3 and extends towards the cutting disc 2, forming close contact with the surface of the cutting disc 2 to ensure continuous removal of adhering substances during the cutting process. This structure helps reduce the accumulation of lotus root juice on the cutting disc 2, avoiding impact on cutting accuracy and equipment operational stability.

[0036] Specifically, the first protrusion 31 is integrally formed with the cleaning scraper 3 and is fixedly connected to the front edge of the cleaning scraper 3. Its triangular structure allows it to effectively scrape along the outer edge of the cutting disc 2 during rotation. At the same time, the arc surface design reduces frictional resistance, making it easier for the lotus root juice to be peeled off and slide into the guide groove 4.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the second groove 32 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root according to this application is an elongated groove, the width of which is adapted to the diameter of the cutting disc 2, so as to form airflow circulation during rotation and enhance the cleaning effect. The second groove 32 is located in the middle of the cleaning scraper 3 and forms a gap with the outer periphery of the cutting disc 2. This structure allows air to flow along the surface of the cutting disc 2, helping to reduce debris adhesion to the cutting disc 2, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and service life of the device. At the same time, this design avoids affecting cutting accuracy due to residue accumulation.

[0038] Specifically, the second groove 32 is located in the middle of the cleaning scraper 3 and forms an air passage by maintaining an appropriate distance from the outer periphery of the cutting disc 2. The length of the groove matches the rotation range of the cutting disc 2, so that the airflow generated when the cutting disc 2 rotates can be evenly distributed along the groove, promoting the automatic removal of residue and thus enhancing the overall cleaning function.

[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the third fixing block 33 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root is connected to the support frame via an adjustable support 35, allowing the cleaning scraper 3 to be finely adjusted according to the wear of the cutting disc 2. The third fixing block 33 is located at the rear of the cleaning scraper 3 and is integrally formed with it, with the connection structure achieved by screw fastening. The adjustable support 35 is mounted on the support frame, and the third fixing block 33 is embedded within it, with its angle and height adjusted by adjusting bolts. This structural design ensures a good fit between the cleaning scraper 3 and the cutting disc 2, ensuring effective cleaning even during prolonged use.

[0040] For example, the adjustable support 35 consists of two parallel sliding groove components, with one side of the third fixing block 33 inserted into them and secured by a locking bolt. When wear occurs on the cutting disc 2, causing a change in the gap between it and the cleaning scraper 3, the operator can loosen the locking bolt and move the third fixing block 33 along the sliding groove until the cleaning scraper 3 re-fits the surface of the cutting disc 2. The bolt is then tightened again to complete the fixation. This adjustment process is simple and quick, and does not affect the overall operation of the equipment.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, an auxiliary water spray component 5 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root is disposed above the cutting disc 2 to rinse the surface of the disc during the cutting process. This component cleans the disc by continuously supplying water, preventing the accumulation of lotus root juice and other residues, thereby maintaining the stability of the cutting effect and the continuity of equipment operation. The auxiliary water spray component 5 can effectively reduce the problem of reduced cutting quality caused by adhering substances, improving the overall efficiency of the device. This design facilitates later maintenance and improves the reliability of the equipment.

[0042] For example, the auxiliary water spray assembly 5 includes a water pipe fixed above the cutting disc 2, which is equipped with multiple nozzles positioned directly above the edge of the cutting disc 2. The nozzles are connected to an external water source, and water is delivered to the nozzles through the pipe and sprayed at a uniform angle onto the surface of the cutting disc 2, forming a rinsing coverage area. The water pipe is fixed to the main body of the equipment by a bracket and maintained at an appropriate distance from the cutting disc 2 to ensure that it does not interfere with normal cutting operations.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the cleaning scraper 3 of the lotus root slicing device for processing lotus root of this application is provided with an anti-winding guard plate 36. The guard plate is fixed to the cleaning scraper 3 and covers the edge of the second groove portion 32. Through the design of this structure, the lotus root fibers are effectively prevented from winding around the surface of the cleaning scraper 3 during operation, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning operation. At the same time, the anti-winding guard plate 36 is set on the outer edge of the cleaning scraper 3, so that when it is used in conjunction with the cutting disc 2, it will not affect the overall sealing performance and cleaning effect.

[0044] Specifically, the anti-winding guard plate 36 is fixed to the outer edge of the cleaning scraper 3 by welding or bonding. Its shape matches the contour of the second groove 32, allowing the guard plate to tightly cover the area. It is then installed onto the support frame along with the cleaning scraper 3. This connection method ensures the stability of the anti-winding guard plate 36 during operation, while facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0045] In actual operation, when this device is used, lotus root is fed into the cutting area by the conveying roller 1. The cutting disc 2 and the conveying roller 1 form a clamping channel to slice the lotus root. The cleaning scraper 3 is in close contact with the surface of the cutting disc 2. As the cutting disc 2 rotates, the first protrusion 31 can effectively scrape off the lotus root juice residue attached to the disc. The second groove 32 forms a gap with the outer periphery of the cutting disc 2 to prevent residue accumulation. The third fixing block 33 stably fixes the cleaning scraper 3 on the support frame. At the same time, the guide groove 4 below the cleaning scraper 3 collects the scraped lotus root juice residue and discharges it to the waste collection device, thereby ensuring the smooth cutting process and continuous operation of the equipment.

[0046] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
