[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the tapioca pearl processing machine used for the horseshoe popping pearls not only realizes the automatic coating function, but also the cleaning function and the heating function;
[0015] (1) The device is equipped with a spiral channel, a second vibrator, and an arc plate. In use, first, cassava flour is poured into the vibrating plate, followed by the cleaned water chestnut pieces. Then, the first and second vibrators are turned on. Through the vibration of the first vibrator, the water chestnut pieces shake inside the vibrating plate, coming into contact with the cassava flour. The cassava flour evenly coats the water chestnut pieces. As the vibrating plate vibrates, the water chestnut pieces gradually become round and coated with flour. They then undergo centrifugal motion along the outer edge of the arc plate and roll towards the baffle. Finally, the coated water chestnut pieces fall into the outlet and are discharged into the processing box through the discharge port. The water chestnut pieces fall downwards into the solution tank, mixing with the seaweed gum solution inside. They then fall downwards in an orderly manner through the spiral channel. The contact area with the solution is increased when the water chestnut pieces pass through the spiral channel, allowing them to be evenly coated with the solution. They then fall into the filter screen again for preliminary filtration, removing air bubbles generated during mixing. The activation of the second vibrator causes the dripping box to shake slowly, allowing the water chestnut pieces to fall onto the sieve plate. Due to the height difference between the sieve plate and the bottom of the dripping box, the water chestnut pieces lose weight and become more rounded when passing through the sieve plate. At the same time, the slow shaking of the dripping box prevents the water chestnut pieces coated with alginate from forming strips. Finally, the water chestnut pieces drip orderly into the soaking tank through the dripper. The alginate on the outside reacts with the calcium lactate, causing the water chestnut pieces to solidify into spheres. From pretreatment to processing, only one device is needed to complete the process, realizing an automatic powder coating function.
[0016] (2) With a water pump and a high-pressure nozzle, when the horseshoe nails are processed, the water pump can be started to draw the cleaning liquid inside the water tank through the water inlet, discharge it into the water pipe through the water outlet, and finally discharge it downward through the high-pressure nozzle to spray it onto the top of the filter screen and sieve plate, etc., to perform preliminary cleaning of the inside of the equipment, and remove the adhesive solution attached to the surface, thus realizing the cleaning function.
[0017] (3) By setting up a controller and a heating tube, in order to ensure the stability of the spheroidization reaction, the heating tube can be started by the controller to raise the temperature of the solution inside the dropping box to between 25 and 30 degrees. The real-time temperature can be viewed by the temperature sensor and adjusted accordingly, thus realizing the heating function. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5A tapioca pearl processing machine for horseshoe-shaped popping pearls also includes an automatic coating component. This component includes a spring-loaded support leg 3, which is fixedly connected to the top of a base 2. A vibrating plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring-loaded support leg 3. A first vibrator 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the vibrating plate 4, and a discharge port 6 is fixedly connected to the right side of the vibrating plate 4.

The internal structure is fixedly connected to a sieve plate 13. A soaking tank 14 is set below the dripping tank 10. An arc plate 15 is fixedly connected to the internal structure of the vibrating plate 4. A baffle 16 is fixedly connected to the right side of the arc plate 15. An outlet 17 is opened on the right side of the vibrating plate 4. The solution tank 7 is fixedly connected to the processing tank 1. The filter screen 9 is fixedly connected to the processing tank 1. The soaking tank 14 is fixedly connected to the processing tank 1. The dripping tank 10 is fixedly connected to the processing tank 1. The discharge port 6 is connected to the internal structure of the outlet 17.

[0027] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, during use, first pour the cassava flour into the vibrating plate 4, then pour the cleaned water chestnut pieces into the vibrating plate 4. Turn on the first vibrator 5 and the second vibrator 11. Through the vibration of the first vibrator 5, the water chestnut pieces shake inside the vibrating plate 4 and come into contact with the cassava flour. The cassava flour evenly coats the water chestnut pieces. As the vibrating plate 4 vibrates, the water chestnut pieces gradually become round with the flour coating. They then undergo centrifugal motion along the outer edge of the rear end of the arc plate 15 and roll towards the baffle 16. Finally, the water chestnut pieces, after being coated with flour, fall into the outlet 17 and are discharged into the processing box 1 through the discharge port 6. The water chestnut pieces fall downwards into the solution tank 7 and mix with the seaweed gum solution in the solution tank 7. They then fall downwards in an orderly manner through the spiral channel 8. When passing through the spiral channel 8, the contact area with the solution is increased, making the water chestnut pieces evenly coated. The solution is coated and then falls back into filter screen 9 for preliminary filtration, removing air bubbles generated during mixing. The activation of the second vibrator 11 causes the dripping box 10 to shake slowly, causing the water chestnut pieces to fall onto the sieve plate 13. Due to the height difference between the sieve plate 13 and the bottom of the dripping box 10, the water chestnut pieces lose weight and become more rounded when passing through the sieve plate 13. At the same time, the slow shaking of the dripping box 10 prevents the water chestnut pieces coated with alginate from forming strips. Finally, the water chestnut pieces drip orderly into the soaking tank 14 through the dripper 12. The alginate on the outside reacts with the calcium lactate, causing the water chestnut pieces to solidify into spheres. From pretreatment to completion, only one device is needed, saving manpower. The controller 24 is electrically connected to the first vibrator 5 and the second vibrator 11. This technology is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, during use, after the water chestnuts are processed, the water pump 19 can be started to draw the cleaning liquid from the water tank 18 through the inlet 20, discharge it into the water pipe 22 through the outlet 21, and finally discharge it downward through the high-pressure nozzle 23, spraying it onto the top of the filter screen 9 and sieve plate 13, etc., to perform preliminary cleaning of the inside of the equipment, which can remove the adhesive solution and other substances attached to the surface, making it easier to clean. The water pump 19 is electrically connected to the water pump 19. This technology is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail.

A heating tube 26 is fixedly connected to the left side of the front end of the drip box 10. The controller 24 is electrically connected to the heating tube 26 and the temperature sensor 25, which facilitates stable processing.
[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, during use, in order to ensure the stability of the spheroidizing reaction, the heating tube 26 can be started by the controller 24 to raise the temperature of the solution inside the dropping box 10 to between 25 and 30 degrees.

[0032] Working Principle: In use, firstly, tapioca flour is poured into the vibrating plate 4, followed by the cleaned water chestnut pieces. The first vibrator 5 and the second vibrator 11 are then activated. The water chestnut pieces vibrate inside the vibrating plate 4, coming into contact with the tapioca flour. The tapioca flour evenly coats the water chestnut pieces. As the vibrating plate 4 vibrates, the water chestnut pieces gradually become round and coated with flour, then roll along the outer edge of the arc plate 15 towards the baffle 16 via centrifugal motion. Finally... After being coated with powder, the water chestnut pieces fall into outlet 17, and then are discharged into processing box 1 through discharge port 6. The water chestnut pieces fall downward into solution tank 7, where they mix with the seaweed gum solution. They then fall downward in an orderly manner through spiral channel 8. Passing through spiral channel 8 increases the contact area with the solution, allowing the water chestnut pieces to evenly coat the solution. They then fall downward again into filter screen 9, where they undergo preliminary filtration to remove air bubbles generated during mixing. The activation of the second vibrator 11 causes the drip box 10 to shake slowly, causing the water chestnut pieces to... The horseshoe-shaped pieces fall onto the sieve plate 13. Due to the height difference between the sieve plate 13 and the bottom of the dripping tank 10, the horseshoe-shaped pieces become more rounded after losing weight when passing through the sieve plate 13. At the same time, the slow shaking of the dripping tank 10 prevents the horseshoe-shaped pieces coated with alginate from forming strips. Finally, the horseshoe-shaped pieces drip orderly into the soaking tank 14 through the drippers 12. The alginate on the outside reacts with the calcium lactate, causing the horseshoe-shaped pieces to solidify into spheres. From pretreatment to processing, only one device is needed to complete the process. When using, after the horseshoe-shaped pieces are processed, the water pump 19 can be started to circulate water. The cleaning solution inside the water tank 18 is drawn through the inlet 20 and discharged into the water pipe 22 through the outlet 21. Finally, it is discharged downward through the high-pressure nozzle 23 and sprayed onto the top of the filter screen 9 and sieve plate 13 to perform preliminary cleaning of the inside of the equipment and remove the adhesive solution adhering to the surface. During use, in order to ensure the stability of the spheroidization reaction, the heating tube 26 can be started by the controller 24 to raise the temperature of the solution inside the drip box 10 to between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The real-time temperature can be viewed and adjusted by the temperature sensor 25.
