Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention relates to a pneumatic friction descaling machine, which mainly consists of a spiral chamber, a spiral auger, a bubble chamber, a feed hopper, a discharge trough, a water inlet pipe, a motor, an air pump, a slag discharge pipe, a frame, and abrasives. Technical background:

[0002] Plant roots and tubers grow irregularly, making mechanical cleaning and peeling a challenging task. While various types of peeling machines exist for regularly shaped plant roots and tubers, conventional machines struggle to handle irregularly shaped ones. In particular, there are no machines or patented products on the market that can effectively remove the peel from irregularly shaped plant roots and tubers, especially when it comes to maintaining the intact shape of the roots and fruits after cleaning and peeling. Summary of the Invention:

[0003] The main technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to achieve the cleaning and peeling of plant roots and fruits while maintaining their original shape by using mechanical operation, which provides a way to establish a large-scale mechanical processing plant for cleaning and peeling plant roots and fruits, and realize assembly line, intelligent operation and ecological treatment.

[0004] A pneumatic friction-based machine for intact peeling of irregular plant root blocks, comprising: a spiral chamber containing a spiral auger for conveying the plant root blocks; an air bubble chamber fitted outside the spiral chamber, the bottom of which is separated from the spiral chamber by a semi-circular perforated plate with multiple air bubble leakage holes; a pneumatic system including gas nozzles located within the air bubble chamber and an air pump connected to the gas nozzles; and abrasive material pre-placed within the spiral chamber. During operation, the air bubble chamber is filled with water. Air bubbles generated by the pneumatic system enter the spiral chamber through the air bubble leakage holes from below the semi-circular perforated plate. The spiral auger propels the plant root blocks, and the air bubbles disturb the water for cleaning. The cleaning and peeling are achieved through the interaction of the air bubbles, abrasive material, spiral auger, and the semi-circular perforated plate of the spiral chamber. The spiral auger has a shaftless structure, and its spiral blades have spiral blade holes. Attached image description:

[0010] 1.2. The spiral auger 1, together with the upper shroud 1.1, left side shroud 1.5, and right side shroud 1.6, forms a combined structure with a semi-circular bottom cavity and a rectangular top cavity. The semi-circular perforated plate 1.2 of the spiral auger 1 has a sieve structure with slag-leaking bubble holes 1.4. The spiral auger 2 is placed inside the spiral chamber 1 via the driven puller 7.4, the spiral auger bearing 2.4, and the spiral auger connecting plate 2.2 on the left side shroud 1. The spiral auger blade 2.1 has spiral auger blade holes 2.3. The spiral chamber 1 has a spiral auger cover plate 13 at the top. A discharge chute 5 is installed on the right side plate 1.6 of the spiral auger chamber. A discharge pipe 5.1 is installed at the bottom end of the discharge chute 5. The discharge pipe is hollow, with the hollow portion serving as the discharge port 5.2. An air chamber 3 is fitted over the spiral chamber 1. The air chamber 3 consists of an air chamber cover 3.2, a conical sludge collection trough 3.3, a residue collection trough 3.4, a drain outlet 3.5, a left wall 3.6, and a front wall 3.7. Air inlet pipes 8.3 are densely arranged inside the air chamber 3. Gas nozzles 8.4 are located on the air inlet pipes 8.3, which are positioned above the conical sludge collection trough 3.3, close to the spiral auger. The auger chamber has a semi-circular perforated plate 1.2 and a conical sludge collection trough 3.3, which is funnel-shaped with a larger top and smaller bottom. A residue collection trough 3.4 is installed at its lower end, and a drain outlet 3.5 is located at the bottom of the residue collection trough 3.4. The bubble chamber 3 is used to hold the cleaning water and collect residue. Its sides and bottom (except for the drain outlet 3.5) are all sealed metal structures. The bubble chamber cover 3.2 can be opened and closed for easy inspection, maintenance, and observation. The drain outlet 3.5 connects to the slag discharge pipe 9, the slag discharge extension pipe 9.1, and the slag discharge control valve 9.2. A feed hopper 4 is installed on the upper left side of the bubble chamber 3. The feed inlet 4.1 of the feed hopper 4 is connected to... The bubble chambers 3 are interconnected. A water inlet pipe positioning hole 3.1 is located on the left wall 3.6 of the bubble chamber. This hole 3.1 is used to fix and install the water inlet pipe 6, water inlet valve 6.1, and automatic water replenishment valve 6.2. The air inlet branch pipe 8.3 inside the bubble chamber 3 connects to the air inlet distribution pipe 8.2 located on the front wall 3.7 of the bubble chamber 3. The air inlet distribution pipe 8.2 is connected to the air pump 8 via the air inlet pipe 8.1. The water inlet pipe 6 and water inlet valve 6.1 are fixedly installed on the left wall 3.6 of the bubble chamber 3 via the water inlet pipe positioning hole 3.1. An automatic water replenishment valve is installed inside the bubble chamber 3 via the water inlet pipe 6.

[0011] 6.2; The driven pulley 7.4 forms a transmission assembly with the motor's drive wheel 7.1 via the transmission belt 7.2, and is driven by the motor 7; The frame 10 has a frame platform 10.1 and a square hole 10.2.

[0012] During installation, place the frame 10 on a suitable ground. Use manpower or a crane to place the conical sludge collection tank 3.3 of the box body composed of the spiral chamber 1, bubble chamber 3, discharge chute 5, and feed hopper 4 into the square hole 10.2 in the middle of the frame platform 10.1. Fix the air pump 8 and motor 7 on the frame platform 10.1, and connect the water inlet pipe 6, transmission components, and air circuit.

[0013] During operation: Open the spiral auger chamber cover 1.3, place the abrasive 11 inside the spiral chamber 1, and close the slag discharge control valve.

[0014] 9.2. Open the inlet valve 6.1. The water for cleaning continuously enters the bubble chamber 3 through the inlet pipe 6, inlet valve 6.1, and automatic water replenishment valve 6.2, and enters the spiral chamber 1 through the slag leakage bubble hole 1.4. When the set water level is reached, the automatic water replenishment valve 6.2 automatically closes, stopping the water intake. Start the motor 7, and the spiral auger 2 begins to rotate in the set direction. Start the air pump 8, and the bubble chamber 3 generates a large number of bubbles, which continuously enter the spiral chamber 1 through the slag leakage bubble hole 1.4, impacting the abrasive 11 in the spiral chamber 1 and causing irregular disturbances. Plant roots and fruits to be peeled and cleaned are put into the feed hopper 4. Due to the continuous rotation of the spiral auger blades 2.1, the plant roots and fruits to be peeled and cleaned are pushed slowly towards the discharge trough 5. During the movement, they are continuously subjected to the impact and cleaning of water bubbles, the repeated friction of the abrasive 11, and the friction of the spiral auger blades 2.1 and... The scraping action of the spiral auger blades (holes 2.3 and slag-leaking bubble holes 1.4) quickly removes the soil, bark, and root hairs adhering to the plant roots to be peeled and cleaned. These substances enter the cleaning water and, through the slag-leaking bubble holes 1.4, enter the conical sludge collection trough 3.3 of the bubble chamber 3, where they settle and settle into the residue collection trough 3.4. After a period of operation, the slag discharge control valve 9.2 is opened, and the residue is discharged from the machine through the slag discharge extension pipe 9.1 of the slag discharge pipe 9 and the slag discharge control valve 9.2. As residual water is discharged along with the residue, the water level inside the machine drops. Water is continuously replenished inside the machine through the inlet pipe 6, the inlet valve 6.1, and the automatic water replenishment valve 6.2. After being cleaned and peeled in one process, the plant roots to be peeled and cleaned move upwards along the smooth inner wall of the discharge trough 5 under the continuous pushing of the spiral auger blades 2.1, and leave the machine through the discharge port 5.2 and the discharge pipe 5.1, completing the peeling and cleaning process.

[0015] After cleaning, do not immediately stop the machine and the air pump 8. Continue to open the water inlet valve 6.1 and the slag discharge control valve 9.2 to clean the machine body. After cleaning, disconnect the power, stop the spiral auger blades 2.1 and the air pump 8, and remove the cleaned and peeled plant root pieces remaining in the discharge trough 5 from the machine.

[0016] The advantages of using this invention are: First, it enables the mechanical peeling and cleaning of root vegetables such as yams while maintaining their original shape, resulting in a clean, aesthetically pleasing product that retains its nutrients. Second, it liberates the traditional manual peeling of irregular crops from tedious and repetitive tasks, greatly improving peeling efficiency through mechanized processing and making industrialized planting and processing possible. Third, centralized mechanical peeling facilitates intensive management, and the waste from peeling can be recycled, promoting a circular economy and protecting the environment. Fourth, it provides a pathway to intelligent operation and ecological treatment of peeling processes. Fifth, the invention is easy to manufacture, has low manufacturing costs, and is convenient to use, operate, and maintain.
