Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of liquorice processing, in particular to a scraping and cutting type liquorice root removing machine. Background Art

[0002] Licorice root removal is a key step in its processing, improving its quality and appearance. Traditionally, licorice root removal has relied on manual or simple mechanical methods, such as manual peeling and simple mesh filtration. These methods are labor-intensive and inefficient, and struggle to ensure uniform and thorough root removal, severely impacting the subsequent processing quality and market value of licorice.

[0003] With the acceleration of agricultural modernization, the demand for mechanized processing of traditional Chinese medicines is becoming increasingly urgent. While some existing mechanized root removal equipment has improved production efficiency to a certain extent, it still has many shortcomings. For example, some devices use a single rotary cutting or fixed blade scraping method. This design often results in incomplete removal due to the simple relative motion between the licorice segments and the blades, leaving a large number of fibrous roots. Furthermore, these devices lack effective material conveying and stirring mechanisms during the processing process, which can easily cause licorice accumulation and blockage, affecting the stability of continuous operation and the service life of the equipment.

[0004] Based on the above, the present invention proposes a scraping and cutting licorice root removal device, which aims to solve the problems existing in the existing technology and achieve the goals of efficient, automated and environmentally friendly licorice root removal operations through an innovative design of reverse rotation of the net barrel and the roller, combined with the optimized configuration of the spiral guide plate and the discharge hopper.

[0012] Compared with the related art, the scraping and cutting licorice root remover provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This utility model provides a device that uses an electric motor to drive the transmission net barrel. The meshing design between the net barrel ring gear and the hob pinion enables the transmission hob and the transmission net barrel to rotate in opposite directions. This innovative design not only increases the relative speed between the licorice segments and the hob, but also significantly improves the removal of fibrous roots, ensuring a clean surface with no residual fibrous roots, thereby improving the processing quality and market value of the licorice.

[0014] The utility model provides a spiral guide piece arranged inside the net barrel, which can automatically transport the licorice segments from the feed port to the discharge port while the net barrel rotates, without manual intervention, greatly reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the rotation of the net barrel also plays a stirring role, so that the licorice segments are more evenly distributed during the cutting process, avoiding the occurrence of accumulation and blockage, and ensuring the continuity and stability of the operation.
