Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of konjac processing equipment, and in particular to a raw material cleaning device for konjac flour processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the konjac flour processing industry, the requirements for the cleaning efficiency and quality of konjac raw materials are increasing. However, the cleaning equipment currently used in konjac flour processing faces many challenges and urgently needs improvement.

[0003] First, traditional cleaning devices mainly rely on large amounts of clean water for rinsing, but lack an effective water recycling mechanism, resulting in the water being discharged after one-time use, leading to a significant waste of water resources. Second, during the friction peeling process of roller washing machines, the konjac skin easily adheres to the roller surface, which not only affects the peeling effect but also results in the processed konjac often containing skin and residual liquid, severely reducing the purity of the konjac.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of cleaning device for konjac flour processing raw materials, which aims to improve cleaning efficiency and quality, and significantly reduce water consumption. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and propose a raw material cleaning device for konjac flour processing, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention provides a raw material cleaning device for konjac flour processing, comprising a frame, a cleaning tank inside the frame, a protective cover above the frame to cover the cleaning tank, a cleaning cage inside the cleaning tank, a feed hopper on one side of the frame, and a discharge pipe on the other side. The cleaning cage includes two rhomboid end plates, several mesh support rods between the two rhomboid end plates, mesh on the mesh support rods, a toothed ring on the outer side of the rhomboid end plates, a bearing inside the toothed ring, the outer ring of the bearing being fixedly connected to the toothed ring, and a support tube on the inner ring. Both support tubes are fixedly connected to the frame and communicate with the feed hopper and the discharge pipe, respectively. A cleaning motor and a transmission mechanism connected to its output shaft are installed inside the frame, and the transmission mechanism meshes with the toothed ring.

[0007] Furthermore, a friction tube is provided between the two rhomboid end plates. The two ends of the friction tube are fixedly connected and communicate with the two support tubes respectively. The two ends of the friction tube are respectively provided with a feed hole and a discharge hole. The feed hole and the discharge hole are respectively set downward and upward in the vertical direction. The friction tube between the feed hole and the discharge hole is closed. The outer cylindrical surface of the friction tube is provided with a rough wear-resistant layer.

[0008] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the diamond-shaped end plate on one side of the discharge hole, and the baffle covers the discharge hole intermittently as the diamond-shaped end plate rotates.

[0009] Furthermore, a circulation pump is installed below the cleaning tank, and a detachable cleaning filter plate is installed inside the cleaning tank. The water inlet of the circulation pump is connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank, and a water pipe is installed at the water outlet. The end of the water pipe is located above the cleaning filter plate.

[0010] Furthermore, an overflow box is provided on the side of the cleaning tank, and an overflow hole is provided on the top of the cleaning tank, which is directly opposite the overflow box. A detachable overflow filter plate is provided inside the overflow box, the water inlet of the circulating pump is connected to the bottom of the overflow box, and a drain valve is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0012] 1. The cleaning cage of this utility model adopts a diamond-shaped end plate and a mesh support structure with a friction tube inside, which allows the konjac to roll fully during the cleaning process and rub against the mesh and friction tube, effectively removing the konjac skin; at the same time, the rotating cleaning cage makes the water flow in the cleaning tank more uniform, reducing the residue of konjac skin on the mesh; this design not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures the cleanliness of the konjac raw material and the quality of subsequent processing.

[0013] 2. This invention uses a circulating pump to recycle the water in the cleaning tank, reducing water waste. Simultaneously, the design of the overflow tank and overflow filter plate allows excess water to be effectively filtered and reused, avoiding water waste and environmental pollution.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides a raw material cleaning device for konjac flour processing, including a frame 1. The frame 1 has a cleaning tank 3 inside for holding cleaning water. A protective cover 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1. When the protective cover 2 is fastened, it completely covers the cleaning tank 3 to prevent water splashing during operation. In practical applications, a transparent observation window can be installed on it to allow operators to monitor the working status. A cleaning cage 6 is configured inside the cleaning tank 3. A feeding hopper 4 is set on one side of the frame 1 for feeding the konjac to be cleaned and guiding it into the cleaning cage 6. A discharge pipe 5 is set on the other side for discharging the cleaned konjac from the cleaning cage 6.

[0019] Reference Figure 2 The washing cage 6 consists of two rhomboid end plates 601 forming its main frame. A layer of mesh (not shown) is supported between the two rhomboid end plates 601 by several mesh support rods 602. This mesh supports the konjac during the washing process and allows the washing water to flow freely. A toothed ring 604 is provided on the outer side of the rhomboid end plate 601. A bearing 605 is embedded in the toothed ring 604. The outer ring of the bearing 605 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 604, while the inner ring is connected to the support tube 603. Both support tubes 603 are fixed to the frame 1 and are respectively connected to the feed hopper 4 and the discharge pipe 5, ensuring the smooth entry and exit of the raw materials. The frame 1 also contains a washing motor (not shown) and its transmission mechanism (not shown). The transmission mechanism meshes with the toothed ring 604, and the washing cage 6 rotates in the washing tank 3 through the drive of the washing motor.

[0020] During operation, konjac is fed into the hopper 4. The cleaning motor drives the diamond-shaped end plate 601 to rotate around the support tube 603. As the konjac rolls inside the cleaning cage 6, it rubs against the mesh, thus scraping off its outer skin. In practical applications, diamond-shaped steel mesh can be used to improve the peeling effect and service life. The diamond-shaped end plate allows for faster vertical changes in the space inside the cleaning cage 6 as it rotates, resulting in a faster rolling speed of the konjac and improved peeling effect. The konjac skin scraped off by the mesh during the rotation of the cleaning cage 6 is washed away by the water flow in the cleaning tank 3, reducing residue on it.

[0021] To further improve the peeling effect, a friction tube 606 is added between the two diamond-shaped end plates 601. Both ends of the friction tube 606 are fixedly connected to and communicate with two support tubes 603. The friction tube 606 has an inlet hole (not shown) and an outlet hole 607. The inlet hole is located at the bottom to facilitate the entry of konjac raw materials; the outlet hole 607 is located at the top to facilitate the discharge of washed konjac. The outer cylindrical surface of the friction tube 606 has a rough, wear-resistant layer. When the washing cage 6 rotates, the konjac raw materials rub against the friction tube 606 and the mesh as they move between the two ends of the washing cage 6, which helps to remove the outer skin and improve the washing quality.

[0022] In addition, in order to control the discharge speed of konjac raw materials, a baffle 608 is provided on the diamond-shaped end plate 601 on one side of the discharge hole 607. As the diamond-shaped end plate 601 rotates, the baffle 608 will intermittently cover the discharge hole 607, which not only avoids insufficient cleaning due to excessive discharge, but also prevents clogging problems.

[0023] Reference Figure 3 A circulation pump 301 is installed below the cleaning tank 3. A detachable cleaning filter plate 302 is also installed inside the cleaning tank 3. A drain valve is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 3. An overflow tank 303 is installed on the side of the cleaning tank 3. An overflow hole 304 is installed on the top of the cleaning tank 3, which is directly opposite the overflow tank 303. When the water level in the cleaning tank 3 is too high, water will flow into the overflow tank 303 through the overflow hole 304. A detachable overflow filter plate 305 is installed inside the overflow tank 303 for further filtering impurities. The water inlet of the circulation pump 301 is connected to the bottom of the overflow tank 303. This design ensures that the circulation pump 301 draws in relatively clean water. The water outlet is connected to a water pipe 306. The end of the water pipe 306 is located above the cleaning filter plate 302, forming a closed-loop water circulation system, which effectively reduces the waste of water resources.
