Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pulp and residue separation device for lotus root starch production, and in particular to a pulp and residue separation device for lotus root starch production. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus root starch is a traditional starch food made from lotus root. It is white in color and has a delicate texture. The process involves washing, crushing, filtering, allowing the lotus root to settle, and then drying it. It is rich in carbohydrates and contains small amounts of protein and vitamins, making it easily digestible and absorbable. During the production of lotus root starch, it is necessary to separate the pulp from the residue; therefore, a pulp-residue separation device is required.

[0003] The existing slurry-residue separation devices for lotus root starch production have the following shortcomings: Most of these devices use a squeezing method to press the lotus root slurry through a gauze, leaving the residue on the gauze. The pressure distribution is not uniform enough when separating the slurry and residue by squeezing, and the slurry cannot be fully squeezed, resulting in poor separation of slurry and residue during lotus root starch production.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a pulp and residue separation device for lotus root starch production to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0030] Example 1

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a slurry-residue separation device for lotus root starch production. This device can fully compress and separate the lotus root slurry in the separation tank, thereby improving the slurry-residue separation effect during lotus root starch production. The device includes:

[0032] The main body 100 includes a separation groove 101 and a mounting platform 107. The inner wall of the separation groove 101 is connected to a hollow support plate 108, and gauze 109 is laid on the hollow support plate 108.

[0033] The rolling separation mechanism 200 includes a drive structure 201 and a U-shaped frame 202 located at the bottom of the mounting platform 107, and a pressure roller 203 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 202.

[0034] The drive structure 201 works in conjunction with the pressure roller 203 to roll back and forth, which is used to squeeze the lotus root slurry in the separation tank 101.

[0035] In use, the lotus root slurry for making lotus root starch is poured into the separation tank 101. The rolling separation mechanism 200 works to make the U-shaped frame 202 move back and forth, and the pressure roller 203 can roll back and forth to squeeze the lotus root slurry in the separation tank 101. The hollow support plate 108 supports the downward pressure. After the lotus root slurry is squeezed, the residue remains on the gauze 109. The pressure roller 203 can contact the lotus root slurry at every position in the separation tank 101, which can fully squeeze the lotus root slurry in the separation tank 101 and improve the separation effect of lotus root slurry and residue during lotus root starch production.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 4This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the main body 100 also includes a rear frame 104 fixedly connected to the rear end of the separation tank 101. A cylinder 105 is provided on the rear frame 104, and a connecting frame 106 is fixedly connected to the mounting platform 107. The telescopic end of the cylinder 105 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 106 through a piston rod. The operation of the cylinder 105 can drive the connecting frame 106 and the mounting platform 107 to adjust their height, so that the rolling separation mechanism 200 on the mounting platform 107 can generate pressure when it presses down, thereby squeezing the lotus root slurry in the separation tank 101.

[0038] The drive structure 201 includes a through groove 201e opened on the mounting platform 107. A lead screw 201f is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through groove 201e, and a threaded seat 201g is threadedly connected to the lead screw 201f. The bottom of the threaded seat 201g is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 202.

[0039] The drive structure 201 also includes a fixed frame 201a fixed to the top of the mounting platform 107. The fixed frame 201a is equipped with a geared motor 201b. The output end of the geared motor 201b is connected to a drive gear 201c through a rotating shaft. A driven gear 201d is fixed to the lead screw 201f, and the driven gear 201d meshes with the drive gear 201c. The forward and reverse rotation frequency of the geared motor 201b is controlled by a programming program, so that the pressure roller 203 can complete left and right reciprocating motion in the separation groove 101. The operation of the geared motor 201b can drive the drive gear 201c to rotate, and the driven gear 201d meshing with the drive gear 201c can rotate, and the lead screw 201f can rotate.

[0040] The drive structure 201 also includes two sets of T-shaped guide grooves 201h formed on the mounting platform 107. Each set of T-shaped guide grooves 201h is slidably connected with a T-shaped block 201i, and the T-shaped block 201i is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 202. After the sliding limit of the T-shaped block 201i and the T-shaped guide groove 201h, the smooth sliding of the U-shaped frame 202 is ensured, and it will not detach from the bottom of the mounting platform 107.

[0041] The open end of the U-shaped frame 202 is directly opposite the gauze 109 in the separation groove 101, and both ends of the pressure roller 203 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 202 through bearings.

[0042] The bottom of the separation tank 101 is equipped with a discharge cover 102 that is connected to it, and the discharge cover 102 is provided with a discharge port 110. Both sides of the discharge cover 102 are fixedly connected with support frames 103.

[0043] When in use, the lotus root slurry for making lotus root starch is poured into the separation tank 101. The cylinder 105 is started, which moves the mounting platform 107 down until the pressure roller 203 contacts the lotus root slurry in the separation tank 101. Then, the reduction motor 201b of the drive structure 201 on the rolling separation mechanism 200 works, which drives the drive gear 201c on the rotating shaft to rotate. Since the drive gear 201c is meshed with the driven gear 201d and the driven gear 201d is fixedly connected to the lead screw 201f, the lead screw 201f can rotate.

[0044] After the threaded seat 201g and U-shaped frame 202, which are threadedly connected to the lead screw 201f, are slidably limited by the T-shaped block 201i and the T-shaped guide groove 201h, the pressure roller 203 in the U-shaped frame 202 can roll back and forth, and can contact the lotus root pulp at every position in the separation tank 101. After the pressure roller 203 rolls back and forth for a period of time, the cylinder 105 works again to increase the downward pressure, which can fully squeeze the lotus root pulp in the separation tank 101. The separated pulp is discharged through the discharge port 110 in the discharge hood 102, and the pulp residue remains on the gauze 109, which improves the effect of separating lotus root pulp residue during lotus root starch production.

[0045] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a controller. Since the controller is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0046] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any practical implementation, such as in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring much experimentation.

[0047] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
