Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of polygonatum processing, in particular to a polygonatum root removing device. Background Art

[0002] Polygonatum sibiricum, a perennial herb belonging to the genus Polygonatum in the Liliaceae family, is native to China, originating approximately 20 million years ago in the Hengduan Mountains-Himalayan region. It is widely distributed throughout China, Korea, Mongolia, and eastern Siberia. Its distinctive features, including its slender, bamboo-like leaves and ginger-like rhizomes, have earned it numerous nicknames, including "dragon's mouth," "hanging pearls," "chicken-head ginseng," "tiger ginger," "heavy building," "horse arrow," and "pen-tube vegetable." Its names are derived from the morphology of its leaves, fruits, and rhizomes. Because wild rabbits and deer enjoy grazing on its stems and leaves, it is also commonly known as "tuzhu" or "deer bamboo." During years of famine, the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum were used as food to alleviate hunger, earning it the nickname "poverty relief grass." Its sweet taste also earned it the nickname "rice shop."

[0003] In the field of traditional Chinese medicinal material processing, especially for rhizome medicinal materials such as Polygonatum sibiricum, pretreatment is required, and the removal and cleaning of roots have always been mainly manual operations. A Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN220762856U discloses a Polygonatum sibiricum root removal device, which removes the roots of Polygonatum sibiricum through the cooperation of a rotating drum, a through hole and a removal knife, reducing manual operation and improving the processing efficiency of Polygonatum sibiricum. However, after the roots are removed, the roots of Polygonatum sibiricum still need to be recovered, and the roots scattered at the bottom of the removal device still need to be manually collected and cleaned. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also inefficient, and it is difficult to ensure the quality consistency of the processed medicinal materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the utility model provides a device for removing roots of Polygonatum sibiricum, which recovers the roots removed by the removal component through a collecting component, transports the roots through a conveying trough, moves the roots and removes the dirt on the roots through a high-frequency vibrating conveying trough, and cleans the roots through cleaning components (negative pressure water tank and high-pressure nozzle on the drain pipe and bracket) to ensure that the roots are clean.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a device for removing roots of Polygonatum sibiricum, comprising a removal mechanism, the removal mechanism comprising a material box, a removal component for removing roots provided in the material box, a collection component for recycling roots provided below the removal component, the collection component comprising a bottom plate, a conveying trough for conveying roots provided on the bottom plate, a filtering component for cleaning dirt adhering to the roots, and a cleaning component for cleaning the roots;

[0006] The filtering component includes a filter screen arranged on the conveying trough and an outlet trough arranged below the filter screen; the cleaning component includes a sewage pipe arranged on the conveying trough and a bracket arranged on the bottom plate. The conveying trough is connected to the bottom plate through three groups of dampers, each group of dampers is two and symmetrical to each other. Two vibrators for high-frequency vibration of the conveying trough are symmetrically provided on both sides of the conveying trough. The filter screen is fixed to the bottom surface of the conveying trough by nuts and bolts. The outlet trough is connected to the side walls of the conveying trough on both sides through two groups of connecting rods, each group of connecting rods is two and symmetrical to each other. The roots are transported through the conveying trough on the bottom plate. A filtering component (filter screen and outlet trough) is installed on the conveying trough. The high-frequency vibrating conveying trough and filter screen can effectively separate the soil on the roots, and the roots are cleaned through the cleaning component (negative pressure water tank and high-pressure nozzle on the sewage pipe and bracket) to ensure that the roots are clean.

[0007] The sewage pipe is arranged at the bottom of the conveying trough, the bracket is arranged above the conveying trough, a negative pressure water tank is fixedly provided on the top of the bracket, and a number of high-pressure nozzles are symmetrically provided on the bottom of the negative pressure water tank. A water storage tank for supplying water to the negative pressure water tank is provided on one side of the bracket, and a high-pressure water machine for pumping water is provided on the top of the water storage tank. The input end of the high-pressure water machine is connected to the water storage tank with a pumping pipe, and the output end of the high-pressure water machine is connected to the negative pressure water tank with a water supply pipe. The setting of the sewage pipe and the negative pressure water tank, together with the high-pressure nozzles, forms a set of high-pressure cleaning mechanism, which performs high-pressure washing on the roots moving on the conveying trough to ensure that the roots are clean.

[0008] The conveying trough is also provided with a blocking component for limiting the movement of roots. The blocking component includes an electric cylinder arranged at the bottom of the conveying trough and a baffle slidably arranged in the conveying trough. The baffle is connected to the end of the telescopic shaft of the electric cylinder with a connecting block. The baffle driven by the electric cylinder can flexibly control the flow of roots in the conveying trough to prevent excessive accumulation or scattering, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of root processing.
