Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to hot pot ingredient processing technology, and in particular to a spice washing device. Background Art

[0002] During the frying process of hot pot ingredients, in addition to fresh ingredients such as coriander, shallots, onions, and garlic, dried spices such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, fennel, and dried tangerine peel are also added. The factory generally obtains dry spices through bulk procurement. After the dry spices arrive at the factory, they need to be taken as needed. Some spices need to be cleaned to remove dust before being added to the wok. Currently, there are two ways to clean these spices: manual washing and conveyor belt cleaning through spray channels. Although the former is less efficient and requires a certain amount of manual labor, it can also achieve good cleaning results. The latter can improve cleaning efficiency and reduce labor intensity, but because the conveyor belts generally used are metal mesh structures, spices will inevitably get stuck in them, resulting in spice waste and subsequent cleaning of the equipment is more cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, the present application provides a spice washing device to realize automated washing, improve washing efficiency, and reduce manual participation in the washing process.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technologies:

[0005] A spice washing device includes a barrel, which is cylindrical. A stirring rod is coaxially arranged in the barrel, and a paddle is connected to the bottom of the stirring rod. The stirring rod is connected to the output shaft of a motor, and the motor is connected to a frame. A plurality of washing baskets are arranged in a circumferential array in the barrel. The washing baskets are connected to the columns on the outside of the barrel through a connecting frame and are movable along the height direction of the columns. The barrel is provided with a rotating ring, which is connected to the stirring rod through a plurality of connecting rods. The top surface of the rotating ring has a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions protruding in the axial direction in a circumferential array. Each washing basket is provided with a top rod. The bottom end of the top rod is hemispherical and contacts with the top surface of the rotating ring.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0007] The spices are washed by the washing basket which is continuously lifted up as the stirring rod rotates, replacing manual operation, which can improve efficiency and reduce operation intensity. Different washing baskets can be used to place different spices respectively. After washing, the washing basket can be further raised and lowered to improve the drainage effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the device of an embodiment of the present application.

[0009] Figure 2It is a partial schematic diagram of the internal structure of the device of an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the embodiments described in the present invention are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0011] The embodiment of the present application provides a spice washing device, which is used to wash dry spices, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a cylindrical barrel 1, in which a stirring rod 11 is coaxially provided, a paddle is connected to the bottom of the stirring rod 11, the stirring rod 11 is connected to the output shaft of a motor 12, and the motor 12 is connected to a frame. The stirring rod 11 is driven to rotate by the motor 12, and the water in the barrel 1 is driven to turn by the paddle. Preferably, in actual application, clean water is continuously injected and the water in the barrel 1 is continuously discharged to achieve the use of continuously circulating clean water for washing.

[0012] The barrel 1 is provided with a plurality of washing baskets 2 arranged along the circumference for holding the dry spices to be washed, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are four washing baskets 2. The vertical projection of the washing basket 2 is fan-shaped, the arc edge is concentric with the circumference of the barrel 1, and there is a distance from the inner wall of the barrel 1 to avoid scratches between the washing basket 2 and the barrel 1 when moving. The side walls and bottom of the washing basket 2 are arrayed with mesh holes to facilitate water flow.

[0013] The washing basket 2 is connected to the column 3 on the outside of the barrel 1 through the connecting frame 21, and is movable along the height direction of the column 3. Specifically, a vertical slide is provided on the column 3, and a slider is provided in the vertical slide. One end of the connecting frame 21 is connected to the washing basket 2, and the other end is connected to the slider.

[0014] The barrel 1 is provided with a rotating ring 14, which is connected to the stirring rod 11 through a number of connecting rods 13. The top surface of the rotating ring 14 has a plurality of arc-shaped protrusions 15 protruding along the axial direction in a circumferential array. Each washing basket 2 is provided with a top rod 23. The bottom end of the top rod 23 is hemispherical and contacts with the top surface of the rotating ring 14.

[0015] In the actual process of washing dry spices, clean water is added to the barrel 1, and the clean water needs to reach a predetermined depth. Then, the aforementioned method of maintaining the entry of clean water and draining water from the bottom is achieved. The dry spices are placed in the washing baskets 2 respectively. Specifically, different types of spices can be placed in different washing baskets 2 to facilitate differentiation. Of course, the spices can also be washed after being mixed, and the mixed spices can be evenly placed in different washing baskets 2. Then the motor 12 is started, the stirring rod 11 rotates, and the water in the barrel 1 is stirred by the paddles to wash the spices in the washing baskets 2. As the stirring rod 11 rotates, the rotating ring 14 rotates along with it, and is continuously lifted by the arc-shaped protrusion 15 through the top rod 23, and then descends with gravity, realizing an axial lifting and lowering motion. Combined with the stirring of the water flow, the washing efficiency can be improved. After washing for a certain period of time, the connecting frame 21 is removed from the slider, and the spices can be taken out of the barrel.

[0016] In order to avoid taking out too much water when washing the spices, the stirring rod 11 can be kept rotating for a certain period of time after the water in the barrel 1 is drained, and the washing basket 2 can be continuously lifted to shake the spices therein to facilitate drainage; then, the spices can be taken out.

[0017] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
