Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plant pigment extraction technology, and in particular to a pretreatment device for plant pigment extraction. Background Technology
[0002] Plant pigments refer to the process of extracting pigments from the inside of plants using methods such as solvents and distillation. Plant pigment extraction is usually carried out in multiple parts of the plant, including roots, branches and leaves, bark, flowers, fruits and shells. When extracting pigments from plant roots, in order to prevent the roots from being contaminated with dirt and resulting in impure pigment extraction, the roots need to be cleaned in advance, which requires the use of plant root cleaning equipment.
[0003] In the prior art, CN219880677U discloses a plant root cleaning device, which includes an outer casing with a transport cavity inside. A cleaning cavity is connected to the upper side of the transport cavity. A cleaning frame is slidably installed between the left and right side walls of the cleaning cavity. The cleaning frame has a downward-opening outer frame cavity. Four through-rotating shafts are slidably installed between the front and rear side walls of the outer frame cavity. This invention disperses the plant roots in batches in the grooves of the second sponge layer, which greatly improves the cleaning quality compared to traditional batch cleaning. It also effectively avoids damage to the plant roots during the cleaning process, thus preventing a significant reduction in the quality of subsequent extraction. At the same time, the surface of the first sponge layer is set with a concave hexagonal grid, which can thoroughly clean the soil attached to the plant roots, maximizing the cleaning quality.
[0004] However, this device still has some problems. While separating the plant roots into batches in the grooves of the second sponge layer makes them more dispersed and significantly improves the cleaning quality compared to traditional large-batch washing, it also effectively avoids damage to the plant roots during the washing process. However, in actual washing, once the plant roots are placed in the grooves of the second sponge layer, they cannot be turned over. During washing, only one side of the plant roots is cleaned by the downward movement and back-and-forth movement of the first sponge layer, which fails to clean the plant roots adhering to the surface of the second sponge layer, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Therefore, we disclose a plant pigment extraction pretreatment device to meet people's needs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a pretreatment device for extracting plant pigments, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that when the roots of plants are placed in the groove of the second sponge layer, it is impossible to turn them over. During the cleaning process, only one side of the roots of plants is cleaned by the downward movement and back-and-forth movement of the first sponge layer, which cannot clean the roots of plants that are attached to the surface of the second sponge layer, resulting in incomplete cleaning.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a pretreatment device for extracting plant pigments, including a washing box, with drive holes on both sides of the washing box, drive rods rotatably installed in the drive holes, and two drive discs fixedly installed on the surfaces of the two drive rods, with a turning component for turning the rootstocks sleeved on the surface of the drive discs.
[0007] The flipping assembly includes two drive belts, which are respectively sleeved and mounted on the surface of the drive disc. Multiple rotating rods are rotatably mounted on the opposite surfaces of the two drive belts. A flipping roller is fixedly mounted on the surface of each of the multiple rotating rods. The surface of the flipping roller is provided with raised strips to facilitate flipping.
[0008] Preferably, two gears are fixedly mounted on the surface of the rotating rod, and racks are installed on both inner walls of the cleaning tank, with the gears meshing with the racks.
[0009] Preferably, a drive motor is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank, and the output shaft of the drive motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to one of the drive rods.
[0010] Preferably, a cleaning assembly is fixedly installed on the upper side of the cleaning tank.
[0011] Preferably, the cleaning tank has a drain outlet on its lower side, and a drainage plate is fixedly installed inside the drain outlet. Multiple support columns are fixedly installed on the lower side of the cleaning tank, and a water tank is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the multiple support columns. A conveying hole is opened on one side of the water tank, and a conveying pipe is fixedly installed inside the conveying hole. A water pump is fixedly installed on the upper side of the cleaning assembly, and the other end of the conveying pipe is fixedly installed at the water inlet of the water pump. An external interface is opened on the upper side of the cleaning assembly, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly installed inside the external interface. The other end of the water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump.
[0012] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank.
[0013] Preferably, a guide plate is fixedly installed on the side of the cleaning box that discharges the root system.
[0014] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, a drive motor drives a drive rod to rotate, which in turn drives two drive discs mounted on its surface to rotate. The two drive discs, through two other drive discs, drive two drive belts to move. The two drive belts drive a rotating rod mounted on its opposite surface to rotate, which in turn drives a turning roller to move. Plant roots are placed on the turning roller. When the turning roller moves below the rack, the gear fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive rod meshes with the rack, causing the drive rod to rotate. The drive rod then drives the turning roller to rotate, thereby causing the roots on its surface to rotate and turn over. This solves the problem of incomplete cleaning caused by the inability to turn the roots over during cleaning.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, the cleaned water flows down through the hydrophobic plate, is filtered by the filter plate and collected in the water tank, and the water in the water tank is pumped back to the cleaning component through the delivery pipe and the inlet pipe by the water pump, so as to circulate water supply to the cleaning component and avoid the problem of water waste caused by continuous external water supply.

Drive rods 2 are rotatably installed in the drive holes. Two drive discs 3 are fixedly installed on the surfaces of the two drive rods 2. A turning component is sleeved on the surface of the drive discs 3 to facilitate the turning of the roots and stems.
[0026] The flipping assembly includes two drive belts 4, which are respectively fitted onto the surface of drive discs 3. Multiple rotating rods 5 are rotatably mounted on the opposite surfaces of the two drive belts 4. Each rotating rod 5 has a flipping roller 6 fixedly mounted on its surface. The surface of the flipping roller 6 is provided with raised strips to facilitate flipping. Two drive rods 2 are installed inside the cleaning tank 1. Each drive rod 2 has two drive discs 3 mounted on its surface. The two drive discs 3 on the same vertical plane are fitted onto the same drive belt 4. The drive belt 4 and the drive disc 3 are connected by a sprocket to prevent the drive belt 4 from slipping. Multiple rotating rods 5 are rotatably mounted on the opposite surfaces of the two drive belts 4. The surface of the rotating rods 5 is equipped with flipping rollers 6. The spacing between each flipping roller is small, so the root system can be directly placed between the two flipping rollers 6 for conveying and flipping.
[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two gears 7 are fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating rod 5. Racks 8 are installed on both inner walls of the cleaning tank 1. The gears 7 mesh with the racks 8. A drive motor 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 14 is coaxially and fixedly connected to one of the drive rods 2.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a cleaning assembly 15 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the cleaning box 1. The cleaning assembly 15 is consistent with the technology used in the above-mentioned referenced documents. It washes the roots by spraying cleaning water onto the root system on the surface of the turning roller 6 and by reciprocating with the first sponge layer. Further details are omitted here.
[0029] During cleaning, the roots are first placed between two rotating rollers 6. Then, the cleaning assembly 15 and the drive motor 14 are started. The drive motor 14 drives the drive rod 2 to rotate, which in turn drives two drive discs 3 mounted on its surface to rotate. The two drive discs 3 drive two drive belts 4 through two other drive discs 3. The two drive belts 4 drive the rotating rods 5 mounted on their opposite surfaces to rotate. The rotating rods 5 drive the rotating rollers 6 to move. Plant roots are placed on the rotating rollers 6. When the rotating rollers 6 move below the rack 8, the gears 7 fixedly mounted on the surface of the drive rod 2 mesh with the rack 8, causing the drive rod 2 to rotate. The drive rod 2 drives the rotating rollers 6 to rotate, thereby causing the roots on its surface to rotate and be turned over. Then, the cleaning assembly 15 cleans the roots, improving the cleaning effect.

A water pump 16 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the cleaning assembly 15, and the other end of the conveying pipe 18 is fixedly installed at the water inlet of the water pump 16. An external interface is provided on the upper side of the cleaning assembly 15, and a water inlet pipe 17 is fixedly installed inside the external interface. The other end of the water inlet pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump 16. A filter plate 13 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the water tank 12.
[0032] The cleaned water flows down through the drainage plate 10, is filtered by the filter plate 13 and collected in the water tank 12. The water in the water tank 12 is then pumped by the water pump 16 through the delivery pipe 18 and the inlet pipe 17 back to the cleaning assembly 15, thus circulating water to the cleaning assembly 15 and avoiding the problem of water waste caused by continuous external water supply.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a guide plate 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning box 1 where the roots are discharged. The guide plate 9 can guide the cleaned roots to be discharged and prevent them from falling irregularly.
