[0031] Embodiment 1:

[0032] The utility model provides a kind of screening device for potato block.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present application, a screening device for potato block is provided on a potato deep processing device. The potato deep processing device includes a driving member and a cutting mechanism. The screening device includes a collecting tank 1, a cleaning assembly, and a driving assembly. The collecting tank 1 is located below the cutting mechanism and is used to receive potato blocks. A screen 2 is detachably installed at the bottom of the collecting tank 1. A discharge port 3 is formed on one side of the collecting tank 1. A height-adjustable rod 4 is movably installed at the discharge port 3. The cleaning assembly is connected to an external water supply system and is used to flush the potato blocks in the collecting tank 1. The driving assembly is drivingly connected to the driving member and is used to drive the collecting tank 1 to move.

[0034] Specifically, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, since the potato deep processing device comprises a driving member and a cutting mechanism, the cutting mechanism can be powered by the driving member to cut the potato pieces, and the screening device for potato pieces is arranged on the potato deep processing device, so that the potato pieces of different sizes can be screened, that is, the small potato pieces are screened out, the uniformity and consistency of the potato pieces in the subsequent deep processing process are ensured, and the production quality of the deep processing product of the potato pieces is improved. Further, since the collecting groove 1 is located below the cutting mechanism, when the cutting mechanism cuts the potatoes, the potato pieces automatically fall into the collecting groove 1 and thus complete the collection of the potato pieces; at the same time, since the bottom of the collecting groove 1 is detachably installed with the screen 2, the detachable installation of the screen 2 and the collecting groove 1 can be threaded connection, so that the screen 2 can be easily disassembled and replaced; and since the driving assembly is in transmission connection with the driving member, the driving assembly can drive the collecting groove 1 to move synchronously under the driving of the driving member, so that the potato pieces in the collecting groove 1 can be shaken, so that the small potato pieces can pass through the screen 2, and the relatively uniform potato pieces with large volume are continuously moved from the discharge port 3 and fall onto the conveying device of the next process, thereby completing the screening of the potato pieces, and the structure is simple and reasonable.

[0035] Understandably, when the collecting groove 1 screens the potato pieces, since the cleaning assembly is connected with the external water supply system, the cleaning assembly can adopt a plurality of nozzles, so that the cleaning assembly can wash the potato pieces in the collecting groove 1, thereby cleaning the starch attached to the surface of the potato pieces, effectively preventing the starch attached to the surface of the potato pieces from affecting the subsequent processing process, ensuring the production quality and edible taste of the potato deep processing food; at the same time, when the driving assembly drives the collecting groove 1 to move, the potato pieces in the collecting groove 1 are always in a rolling state, at this time, the potato pieces can be washed by the cleaning assembly, thereby greatly improving the cleaning effect of the potato pieces, and the use is reliable; and the cleaning assembly can also wash the inner wall of the collecting groove 1 and the screen 2, thereby effectively preventing starch from remaining and accumulating in the collecting groove 1 or the screen 2, preventing bacteria from breeding, and ensuring the edible safety of the potato deep processing food. In addition, the height limiting rod 4 is movably installed at the discharge port 3, the movable installation of the height limiting rod 4 can be threaded connection, that is, the two ends of the height limiting rod 4 are respectively connected to the discharge port 3 by buckling and screwing, when the potato pieces fall out of the discharge port 3, the height limiting rod 4 can block the stacked potato pieces, so that the potato pieces are in a uniform and flat state when falling onto the conveying device of the next process, thereby facilitating the operation of blowing and powdering the potato pieces. It should be noted that the actual installation position of the height limiting rod 4 can be adjusted according to the size of the potato pieces cut by the potato deep processing device, so that the limiting rod can smoothly fall out of the discharge port 3 on the premise of being able to flatten the potato pieces, and the structure is ingenious and reasonable.

[0036] In an embodiment, the slot of the collecting groove 1 is gradually expanded from bottom to top, and the opposite inner walls of the collecting groove 1 are detachably provided with guide rods 5, the opposite sides of the two guide rods 5 are formed with slopes, and the cleaning assembly comprises a plurality of spray pipes 6, the plurality of spray pipes 6 are arranged below the two guide rods 5, and a plurality of water outlets are uniformly and spacedly arranged on the plurality of spray pipes 6 along the extension direction of the collecting groove 1. Specifically, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 Because the slot of the collecting groove 1 is gradually expanded from bottom to top, it is beneficial to pick up the potato pieces and ensure the collection effect of the potato pieces. Further, when the potato pieces fall into the collecting groove 1, the spray pipes 6 can be shielded by the guide rods 5, and because the opposite sides of the two guide rods 5 are formed with slopes, the potato pieces can fall into the collecting groove 1 smoothly, effectively avoiding the accumulation of the potato pieces on the top surface of the guide rods 5, and the structure design is simple and reasonable. At the same time, the plurality of water outlets can not only wash the potato pieces in the collecting groove 1 from multiple points to achieve uniform and comprehensive cleaning effect, but also improve the cleaning efficiency of the collecting groove 1 and the screen 2, and is convenient and reliable to use.

[0037] In an embodiment, the bottom of the collecting groove 1 is provided with a sliding groove 7 along the extension direction thereof, the two sides of the screen 2 are respectively formed with protrusions 8 in sliding contact with the sliding groove 7, and the side wall of the collecting groove 1 is provided with a limiting piece 9 for fixing the screen 2. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding contact between the protrusions 8 and the sliding groove 7 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the screen 2 by the staff, and is convenient to use. Further, because the side wall of the collecting groove 1 is provided with the limiting piece 9, the limiting piece 9 can be a screw in the prior art, that is, the limiting piece 9 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the collecting groove 1, and the thread cooperation between the limiting piece 9 and the screen 2 enables the screen 2 to be stably installed to the bottom of the collecting groove 1, so as to ensure the screening effect of the screen 2 on the potato pieces and improve the use stability and reliability of the utility model.

[0038] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the adjusting groove 10 is arranged at the height direction of the collecting groove 1 at the discharge port 3, and the two ends of the height limiting rod 4 are detachably installed at the discharge port 3 through a locking member 11 passing through the adjusting groove 10. The two side edges of the height limiting rod 4 are provided with arc chamfers. It can be understood that the locking member 11 can be a screw in the prior art, that is, one end of the screw passes through the adjusting groove 10 and is threadedly connected with the height limiting rod 4. When the volume of the potato block cut by the potato deep processing device changes, the staff can adjust the installation position of the height limiting rod 4 in the adjusting groove 10 by rotating the locking member 11, so as to ensure the flattening effect of the potato block and the smoothness of the potato block falling out of the discharge port 3, which is simple in operation and convenient to use. In addition, by making the two side edges of the height limiting rod 4 into arc chamfers, the side wall edges of the height limiting rod 4 can be effectively prevented from scratching the potato block, thereby ensuring the integrity and processing quality of the potato block.

[0039] In an embodiment, two baffle plates 12 are detachably installed on the bottom surface of the collecting groove 1 along the width direction thereof. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 The detachable installation of the two baffle plates 12 and the collecting groove 1 can adopt the threaded connection in the prior art, so as to facilitate the disassembly, replacement and the like of the two baffle plates 12. Further, the two baffle plates 12 not only can block the potato block falling from the screen 2, prevent the potato block from falling out of the potato deep processing device and causing waste (the potato block falling from the screen 2 can be collected and processed again, such as making potato paste, potato cake and the like), but also can avoid the random splashing of the sewage after washing the potato block to the outside of the potato deep processing device and causing pollution of the working environment. In addition, the two baffle plates 12 can guide the sewage to flow back into the external water supply system, so that the sewage can be filtered by the filter and other related structural components of the external water supply system, and then the potato block can be washed again, thereby realizing the recycling of the sewage, reducing the waste of water resources and lowering the processing cost.

[0040] In an embodiment, the driving assembly includes a rotating shaft 13, a cam 14 and two limiting seats 15. The two limiting seats 15 are respectively arranged at the two sides of the collecting groove 1, the two ends of the rotating shaft 13 are rotatably installed on the two limiting seats 15, one end of the rotating shaft 13 is in transmission connection with the driving member, and the cam 14 is arranged on the rotating shaft 13 and abuts against the bottom surface of the collecting groove 1. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, since the two ends of the rotating shaft 13 are rotatably mounted on the two limiting seats 15 respectively, the rotating stability of the rotating shaft 13 can be ensured. Further, the transmission connection between the rotating shaft 13 and the driving member can be belt transmission or chain transmission, which is suitable for long distance transmission and is easy to obtain and maintain, so that the rotating shaft 13 can drive the cam 14 to rotate relative to the collecting groove 1 under the action of the driving member. Understandably, when the cam 14 rotates, the cam 14 can repeatedly push the collecting groove 1 to move relative to the potato deep processing device due to the abutment between the cam 14 and the bottom surface of the collecting groove 1, so as to realize the screening operation of the potato pieces, and the structure design is simple and reasonable.

[0041] In an embodiment, a plurality of positioning seats 16 are arranged on the outer walls of the two sides of the collecting groove 1 respectively, and the driving assembly further includes a plurality of elastic members 17, which are installed on the positioning seats 16 one by one. Figure 2 As shown, the elastic member 17 can be a spring in the prior art, which has the characteristics of compact structure, easy to obtain, large elastic deformation force, etc., so as to facilitate cooperation with the cam 14 to realize the vibration screening of the screen 2. Further, the elastic support of the collecting groove 1 can be realized at multiple positions through the positioning seats 16 and the elastic members 17, so as to not only ensure the vibration effect of the collecting groove 1, but also improve the support stability of the collecting groove 1.

[0042] In an embodiment, a positioning column 18 is arranged on the outer wall of one end of the collecting groove 1 close to the discharge port 3. Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 By opening a positioning hole or a positioning groove on the potato deep processing device, the positioning column 18 is inserted and matched with the positioning hole or the positioning groove, so that the collecting groove 1 can be hinged on the potato deep processing device, and the collecting groove 1 can only vibrate within a predetermined range, effectively preventing the collecting groove 1 from separating from the potato deep processing device during vibration screening, improving the stability of the vibration screening of the collecting groove 1, and being reliable in use.

[0043] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
