Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of stem and leaf separation, in particular to a stem and leaf separation device. Background Art

[0002] From the perspective of edible and medicinal value, the rhizomes of some plants have greater edible and medicinal value than the leaves; for example, burdock, yam and lotus root, the rhizomes of these plants are the main edible parts, while the stems and leaves are usually not used as food ingredients; therefore, during processing, the rhizomes need to be separated from the leaves to facilitate subsequent cleaning and slicing of the rhizomes.

[0003] A celery stem and leaf separator is proposed in a Chinese patent with publication number CN211806373U. The separator uses the negative pressure formed by the separation cylinder and the fan to absorb the celery leaves of the whole celery plant. The operator manually flips the celery leaves so that the leaves penetrate into the mesh of the first wire mesh. The rotating cutter of the cutting assembly cuts and separates the celery leaves drawn into the first wire mesh, thereby achieving effective and rapid separation of the celery stems and leaves.

[0004] Although the above technical solution can form a negative pressure to adsorb celery leaves, it still has defects in actual use. First, the root of celery is relatively upright, which can easily drive the leaves through the first wire mesh and extend into the separation cylinder. If it is replaced with other plants with lush and intertwined leaves (such as burdock and yam), the leaves of the plants are likely to get stuck when they are inserted due to the small mesh holes, which is not convenient for cutting the stems and leaves. Second, the above technical solution requires the operator to cooperate in manually turning the leaves when adsorbing them. If the operator accidentally inserts his fingers into the mesh holes when turning the leaves, the operator's hands will be cut by the knife, which poses a safety hazard.

[0005] As is known from the above, the existing technology has obvious inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned defects, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a stem and leaf separation device, which can divide the stems and leaves of plants into sections and adsorb the leaves of plants so that the leaves of plants are in a straight state. The cutting component can remove all the leaves of the plants at one time.

[0009] A cutting assembly is provided for performing horizontal cutting at the weeping leaf opening.

[0010] According to the stem and leaf separation equipment described in the utility model, a cutting cavity is provided inside the workbench at a position corresponding to the drooping leaf mouth, and the area of ​​the cutting cavity is larger than the area of ​​the drooping leaf mouth; the cutting assembly includes a cutter arranged in the cutting cavity, and knife grids are installed at both ends of the cutter, and the tops of the two knife grids extend to the outside of the workbench; the table top of the workbench is provided with a sliding groove for the knife grid to drive the cutter to slide in the cutting cavity, and the table top of the workbench is installed with a driving member at the position corresponding to the knife grid.

[0018] 3. Latch limit plates are connected to the two opposite sides of the opening of the stem storage bin, and a latch is provided between the two latch limit plates; this can prevent the root of the plant from tilting and falling out of the stem storage bin.

[0019] 4. By setting a notch near the opening at the top of the stem storage bin, it can be used to place plants whose roots and stems are higher than the stem storage bin, thereby processing plants with different root and stem lengths, and has a wide range of applicability.

[0020] 5. By installing a filter plate with a fine mesh at the air outlet of the blower, the leaves of the plants can be blocked outside the blower to prevent them from being sucked into the blower and to prevent the blower blades from being entangled and damaged by the leaves of the plants.
