Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a vegetable crushing device. Background Art

[0002] Vegetable crushing is the process of using a mechanical device, such as a grinder or blender, to break down vegetables into small particles or powder by shearing, grinding, etc. Depending on the particle size after crushing, it can be divided into coarse crushing, fine crushing, micro crushing, and ultrafine crushing.

[0003] The vegetable crushing process primarily includes raw material pretreatment, crushing, drying, screening, and packaging. This pretreatment includes a cleaning process to remove dirt, impurities, and pesticide residue from the surface of the vegetables. This process involves soaking, spraying, or scrubbing the vegetables with water or a food-grade detergent, followed by a rinse.

[0004] However, after washing, the surface of the vegetables will have more water attached to it, and the vegetables themselves will also contain more water, such as Chinese cabbage. After the subsequent crushing process, the crushed vegetables will contain more water. During the subsequent processing, the water needs to be drained before it can be processed, which reduces efficiency and causes more nutrients in the vegetables to be lost along with the water.

When the pushing groove 5 moves left and right, the lifting groove 6 is lifted and lowered under the action of the linkage mechanism, and a number of water drop holes are provided at the bottom of the supporting groove 2; when the vegetables are crushed, the vegetables are put into the supporting groove 2 through the feed port 3, and then the pushing groove 5 pushes the vegetables to the right at intervals, and the lifting groove 6 is lifted and lowered under the action of the linkage mechanism. The air gun 7 on the lifting groove 6 blows off the moisture on the surface of the vegetables and flows down through the water drop holes, thereby achieving full drainage of the moisture on the surface of the vegetables and reducing the moisture content in the crushed vegetables.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the linkage mechanism includes a rotating shaft 8 provided on the side of the support groove 2, a driving disk 9 provided at the rear end of the rotating shaft 8, a swing arm 10 provided on the side of the support groove 2 and rotatably connected to the support groove 2 at the middle position, and a first rotating rod 11 provided at the front end of the rotating shaft 8. A cam-shaped guide groove 12 is provided on the side of the driving disk 9. A guide wheel that cooperates with the guide groove 12 is provided at the lower end of the swing arm 10. A slider 13 is provided at the upper end of the swing arm 10. The slider 13 is connected to the lifting groove 6 via a first connecting rod 14. The end of the first rotating rod 11 is connected to the pushing groove 5 via a second connecting rod 15. When the rotating shaft 8 rotates, the swing arm 10 continuously swings up and down under the action of the guide groove 12 and the guide wheel. Under the action of the first connecting rod 14, the lifting groove 6 continuously rises and falls; under the action of the first rotating rod 11 and the second connecting rod 15, the pushing groove 5 continuously moves left and right.
