Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular relates to an integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machine for processing Dendrobium officinale pulp. Background Technology

[0002] Dendrobium, a high-value traditional Chinese medicine, undergoes a pulp processing process that mainly includes key steps such as cleaning, pre-cooking, extraction, and concentration. Among these, cleaning and pre-cooking are the core pre-treatment steps that affect the quality of the pulp. Cleaning removes mud, microorganisms, pesticide residues, and surface impurities adhering to the Dendrobium, ensuring the cleanliness of the raw material. Pre-cooking involves treating the Dendrobium with hot water or steam to soften its fibrous tissue, inactivate oxidases, remove bitter components, and perform preliminary sterilization, laying the foundation for the subsequent efficient extraction of polysaccharides, alkaloids, and other active ingredients.

[0003] In traditional processing, cleaning and pre-cooking are often separate operations, which present the following problems: manual brushing or simple soaking is insufficient to thoroughly clean the hidden parts of Dendrobium, such as folds and roots, resulting in a high rate of impurity residue; static cleaning cannot achieve even coverage, leading to incomplete removal of microorganisms and mud; and the separation of pre-cooking and cleaning results in time-consuming process switching and significant energy waste. To address these issues, we provide an integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machine for Dendrobium pulp processing to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machine for processing Dendrobium officinale pulp. By combining the cleaning and pre-cooking components and the drive components, it solves the problems of existing integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machines, which are difficult to thoroughly clean the hidden parts of Dendrobium officinale such as folds and roots, have a high rate of impurity residue, and cannot evenly cover the parts during static cleaning, resulting in incomplete removal of microorganisms and mud.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0006] This utility model relates to an integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machine for processing Dendrobium officinale pulp, comprising a cleaning tank, a partition plate fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank, a storage tank fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank, a cleaning and pre-cooking assembly disposed inside the cleaning tank, the cleaning and pre-cooking assembly including an ultrasonic cleaning device fixedly connected to one side inside the cleaning tank, a heating wire fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank, and a cleaning cage disposed inside the cleaning tank, a drive assembly disposed on one side of the cleaning tank, the drive assembly including a driven wheel movably connected to one side of the cleaning tank via a bearing, a drive motor fixedly connected to the rear side of the cleaning tank, and a drive wheel fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that a support recess is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank and one side of the partition plate, and a hollow tube is fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning cage. The top of the support recess is provided with a rotating groove that is adapted to the hollow tube.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that a sealed bearing is fixedly connected inside the hollow tube, a spray pipe is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the sealed bearing, and a nozzle is connected to the surface of the spray pipe.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that an inlet / outlet pipe is connected to one side of the cleaning cage, and a lifting ring is fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning cage.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the ultrasonic cleaning device is located on the left side of the partition plate, the heating wire is located on the right side of the partition plate, and a drain pipe is connected to one side of the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model is an integrated cleaning and pre-cooking machine for processing Dendrobium officinale pulp. It includes a cleaning tank 1, with a partition plate 2 fixedly connected inside the cleaning tank 1, dividing the cleaning tank 1 into a cleaning chamber on the left and a pre-cooking chamber on the right. A storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1. A cleaning and pre-cooking assembly is provided inside the cleaning tank 1. The cleaning and pre-cooking assembly includes an ultrasonic cleaning device 4 fixedly connected to one side inside the cleaning tank 1, a heating wire 5 fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1, and a cleaning cage 6 provided inside the cleaning tank 1. A drive assembly is provided on one side of the cleaning tank 1. The drive assembly includes a driven wheel 7 movably connected to one side of the cleaning tank 1 via a bearing, a drive motor 8 fixedly connected to the rear side of the cleaning tank 1, and a drive wheel 9 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 8.

[0027] Specifically: By configuring the pre-cooking and cleaning component, high-frequency ultrasound generates cavitation bubbles in the cleaning solution. The impact force of these bursting bubbles efficiently removes mud, microorganisms, and pesticide residues from the surface of the Dendrobium officinale, improving cleaning efficiency for hidden areas such as folds and roots, and reducing physical damage from manual scrubbing. The drive component uses a dual-axis drive motor 8 to rotate the cleaning cage 6 at low speed via drive wheel 9 and driven wheel 7. This dynamic rotation eliminates the "sound shadow zone," reducing cleaning blind spots. The low-speed design prevents the Dendrobium officinale from detaching from the cleaning solution due to centrifugal force, reducing the risk of damage. The pre-cooking and cleaning component, through ultrasonic deep cleaning, temperature-controlled pre-cooking, and dynamic spray coverage, solves the problems of uneven cleaning and loss of active ingredients in traditional processes. The drive component, through low-speed rotation and circulating water, optimizes cleaning efficiency and resource utilization. Together, these components achieve efficient, energy-saving, and high-quality integrated production of Dendrobium officinale pulp.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, a support recess 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1 and one side of the partition plate 2. A hollow tube 11 is fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning cage 6. The top of the support recess 10 has a rotating groove adapted to the hollow tube 11. A sealed bearing is fixedly connected inside the hollow tube 11. A spray pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the sealed bearing. A nozzle 13 is connected to the surface of the spray pipe 12. An inlet / outlet pipe 14 is connected to one side of the cleaning cage 6. A lifting ring 15 is fixedly connected to both sides of the cleaning cage 6. The ultrasonic cleaning device 4 is located on the left side of the partition plate 2. Heating wire 5 is located on the right side of partition plate 2. A drain pipe is connected to one side of the bottom of cleaning tank 1, and a conveying pipe 16 is connected to the other side of the bottom of cleaning tank 1. The other end of the conveying pipe 16 is connected to storage tank 3. The drive motor 8 is a dual-shaft motor. A conveying pump 17 is connected to the front of storage tank 3. A circulation hose 18 is connected to the water outlet of the conveying pump 17. The other end of the circulation hose 18 is connected to the spray pipe 12 through a rotary joint. Limiting blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the top of cleaning tank 1 and partition plate 2. A limiting groove adapted to the circulation hose 18 is opened inside the limiting block 19.

[0030] Specifically: the supporting concave block 10 and hollow tube 11 suspend the cleaning cage 6 inside the cleaning tank 1, assisting the rotation of the cleaning cage 6; the spray pipe 12 and nozzle 13 continuously spray water to rinse the Dendrobium inside during the cleaning and pre-cooking process; the inlet and outlet pipe 14 is used to put in and drain Dendrobium during processing; the lifting ring 15 is used to lift the cleaning cage 6; the drain pipe is used to drain the cleaning water; the conveying pipe 16 is used to transport the pre-cooked water to the storage tank 3, which is then sprayed into the cleaning cage 6 through the nozzle 13 as cleaning water during cleaning; the conveying pump 17 and circulating hose 18 are used to circulate the water in the storage tank 3 to the spray pipe 12; and the limiting block 19 is used to limit the circulating hose 18 to prevent it from rotating along with the cleaning cage 6 during rotation.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The Dendrobium to be processed is placed into the cleaning cage 6 through the inlet and outlet pipe 14. The external hoisting equipment hoists the cleaning cage 6 into the cleaning chamber on the left side of the inner cavity of the cleaning box 1 through the hoisting ring 15, so that the hollow pipes 11 on both sides of the cleaning cage 6 are located on the support recess 10. The delivery pump 17 delivers the pre-boiled water used in the storage box 3 to the spray pipe 12 through the circulation hose 18, and sprays it onto the Dendrobium through the nozzle 13 to rinse the Dendrobium and fill the cleaning chamber with water. When the water level in the cleaning chamber reaches the required level, the delivery pump 17 is stopped first, and then the ultrasonic cleaning device 4 is started. High-frequency ultrasonic waves generate cavitation bubbles in the cleaning liquid. The impact force of the bubble bursting is used to efficiently remove the mud, sand, microorganisms and pesticide residues attached to the surface of the Dendrobium.

[0032] During the cleaning process, the drive motor 8 is activated periodically. The drive motor 8 drives the driven wheel 7 to rotate via the drive wheel 9. The driven wheel 7 drives the cleaning cage 6 in contact with it to rotate slowly. The rotation interval is 30 seconds every 2 minutes of cleaning to balance cleaning coverage and energy stability. During the rotation, the valve on the surface of the drain pipe is opened to discharge a portion of the cleaning solution. The solution is then pumped back into the spray pipe 12 via the delivery pump 17 to deliver circulating water, which is then used to rinse the Dendrobium officinale through the nozzles 13.

[0033] After cleaning, the cleaning cage 6 is hoisted into the pre-cooking chamber on the right side of the cleaning tank 1 using the lifting ring 15. The pre-cooking water in the pre-cooking chamber is heated to the specified temperature by the heating wire 5 to pre-cook the Dendrobium. During the pre-cooking process, the drive motor 8 is started at regular intervals to drive the cleaning cage 6 to rotate slowly in the cleaning chamber in the above manner, thereby avoiding the accumulation of Dendrobium and affecting the pre-cooking effect. After the pre-cooking is completed, the cleaning cage 6 is hoisted out of the cleaning tank 1 for subsequent processing. At this time, the pre-cooked water enters the storage tank 3 through the conveying pipe 16, and after cooling, the above steps are repeated for cleaning water.

[0034] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
