Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation to the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] Based on the deficiencies of the existing traditional koji straw cleaning methods, such as manual cleaning by hands, long time consumption, high labor intensity, etc., in combination with the workshop production environment and the irregular deformation of koji blocks after fermentation, the present application designs a tool for separating koji straw. By using this tool, it replaces the traditional manual cleaning, shortens the working hours, and reduces the labor intensity of employees.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in, this embodiment provides a tool for separating koji straw, specifically including: a knife handle 1 and a knife head 2 connected to the knife handle 1. A toothed structure 3 is provided on the knife head 2, and this toothed structure 3 is used to clean the straw adhered to the surface of the koji block.

[0029] In this embodiment, the states of the straws adhered to the surface of the koji blocks are diverse. Some are trapped in the koji blocks, and some are adhered to the surface. It takes a long time and requires a great deal of labor for workers to manually remove the straws from the koji blocks one by one. In this embodiment, a tool with a knife handle 1 and a knife head 2 is provided. The operator can hold the knife handle 1 to control the knife head 2. While cleaning the straws on the surface, the tooth-shaped structure 3 on the knife head 2 can also clean the straws trapped in the koji blocks. The use of this tool can prevent the operator's hands from coming into contact with the koji blocks for a long time and damaging the fingers, ensure that the straws on the koji blocks are cleaned thoroughly, prevent the straws from entering the next process and affecting the quality, shorten the working hours of the workers, reduce the labor intensity of the workers, and improve the happiness and satisfaction of the workers.

[0030] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, it should be noted that the tooth-shaped structure 3 includes a plurality of concave portions 31 and convex portions 32 formed on the side surface of the knife head 2, and the plurality of concave portions 31 and convex portions 32 are arranged alternately in sequence. Since the koji blocks are irregularly deformed, when cleaning the straws on the surface of the koji blocks, by setting the side surface of the knife head 2 as the tooth-shaped structure 3, this tooth-shaped structure 3 can adapt to the irregular shape of the surface of the koji blocks. When cleaning, by reciprocating the knife head 2 from top to bottom, the straws adhered to the surface of the koji blocks are cut off by the tooth-shaped structure 3 on the knife head 2, and then the straws adhered to the surface of the koji blocks can be cleaned thoroughly. For the straws trapped in the koji blocks, they can also be taken out by the convex portions 32 extending into the koji blocks. Of course, the convex portions 32 do not extend too deep into the koji blocks, and at the same time, the convex portions 32 are not too sharp and will not cause a puncture risk, so the safety is high during the use process.

[0031] In this embodiment, it should also be noted that the depth of the concave portion 31 and the length of the convex portion 32 are the same. By setting the depth of the concave portion 31 and the length of the convex portion 32 to be the same, it is convenient for processing and manufacturing. In one example, the depth of the concave portion 31 or the length of the convex portion 32 is set to 0.2 - 4 cm, such as 0.2 cm, 0.6 cm, 0.8 cm, 1 cm, 2 cm, 3 cm, 4 cm. Preferably, the cleaning effect is the best when it is 1 cm.

[0032] On the basis of the above, the depth of the concave portion 31 or the length of the convex portion 32 is further set, specifically 0.6 - 1 cm, such as 0.6 cm, 0.8 cm, 1 cm. After experimental verification, the cleaning effect is the best when it is 0.6 cm finally.

[0033] In this embodiment, it should also be noted that the width of the knife head 2 gradually increases from the end connected to the knife handle 1 to the other end. Through this setting, the end of the knife head 2 far from the knife handle 1 is wider, and the end close to the knife handle 1 is narrower, which is convenient for connecting the knife head 2 and the knife handle 1 and for use.

[0034] In one example, the length of the cutter head 2 is set to 15 - 35 cm, such as 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm, 30 cm, and 35 cm. The length of the combined curved block is within 35 cm. Then, according to the convenience of use by the operator, finally, in this embodiment, setting the length of the cutter head 2 to 20 cm has the best effect and is convenient to use.

[0035] In this embodiment, it should also be noted that the materials of the handle 1 and the cutter head 2 are both set to steel. The separated tool made of steel has a long service life, high strength, and is not easily damaged.

[0036] In some embodiments, the handle 1 is hollow. Since the handle 1 and the cutter head 2 are made of steel, considering the weight, the handle 1 has a hollow structure, which can reduce the overall weight and is convenient for the operator to use.

[0037] The working principle is as follows: When in use, the operator holds the handle 1, and then uses the cutter head 2 to scrape back and forth from top to bottom on the surface of the curved block. The straw adhered to the surface of the curved block is torn off by the tooth-shaped structure 3 on the cutter head 2. For the straw that has sunk into the curved block, it can also be dug out with the tooth-shaped structure 3 incidentally. Of course, mainly there is more straw adhered to the surface of the curved block, so mainly the straw adhered to the surface is scraped off.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as these combinations of technical features do not conflict, they should all be considered as within the scope described in this specification.

[0039] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application. Their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
