Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of impurity removal devices for lotus root processing, specifically an impurity removal device for lotus root processing. Background Technology

[0002] Lotus root has been a beloved aquatic food in my country for thousands of years. It is crisp and tender, slightly sweet, and rich in nutrients, possessing properties such as nourishing yin, promoting tissue regeneration, clearing heat, and generating fluids. With rising living standards, people are increasingly valuing the nutritional benefits of lotus root. Lotus root cultivation and its deep processing have become new economic growth points in some parts of my country. However, the processing of lotus root requires the removal of impurities and mud from its surface, and existing equipment has some shortcomings; for example…

[0003] For example, a lotus root processing impurity removal device with announcement number CN220756464U, when in use, includes a frame, with a support rod fixedly installed between the left and right sides of the frame, and a water tank slidably connected to the outer surface of the support rod. This lotus root processing impurity removal device, through the inclusion of an impact component, causes the folded shafts on both sides to rotate synchronously under the mutual transmission of the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt. This causes the corresponding drive rod to swing, thereby pushing the water tank and the placement frame to move in opposite directions along the outer surface of the support rod. This allows the water in the water tank and the lotus root on the sieve cylinder to collide, and the impact of the water can wash away impurities on the outer surface of the lotus root. Although this device can be effectively used to remove silt and impurities from the surface of lotus roots, after the lotus roots are harvested, they need to be transported to the factory for impurity removal. During transportation, the silt on the surface of the lotus roots may dry and become sticky. This device cleans the surface silt by colliding the lotus roots and water, but when the silt dries, it becomes larger and more difficult to clean, making it difficult to achieve the expected efficiency. Therefore, we propose an impurity removal device for lotus root processing to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a lotus root processing impurity removal device, comprising a soaking tank 1 and a washing tank 19. The surface of the soaking tank 1 is fixedly connected to a first motor 2, and the first motor 2 is connected to a first drive shaft 3, which is connected to a first drive roller 4. The first drive shaft 3 is connected to a first transmission belt 6, and the first transmission belt 6 is connected to a second drive shaft 7. The second drive shaft 7 is connected to a second drive roller 8, and the second drive roller 8 is connected to a second feeding belt 9. The second drive roller 8 is symmetrically arranged about the center of the second feeding belt 9, and the second drive roller 8 at the upper end of the second feeding belt 9 is rotatably connected to a support plate 16. The support plate 16 is connected to a guide plate 18 through a connecting plate 17. The front end of the guide plate 18 is connected to the washing tank 19, and the guide plate 18 is connected to the washing tank 19 through a connecting plate 17. The material plate 18 is inclined, and the surface of the second feeding belt 9 is fixedly connected to the baffle 10. The first drive roller 4 is connected to the first feeding belt 5. The surface of the first feeding belt 5 and the baffle 10 is provided with through holes, and the through holes are arranged in an array about the surface of the first feeding belt 5 and the baffle 10. The baffle 10 is arranged in an array about the surface of the second feeding belt 9. The front end of the baffle 10 is bent. The interior of the soaking tank 1 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 11, and an aerator 12 is provided above the fixed plate 11. The interior of the soaking tank 1 is provided with a sludge discharge mechanism. The sludge discharge mechanism includes the soaking tank 1, the draw plate 13, the push rod 14, and the push plate 15. The interior of the soaking tank 1 is slidably connected to the draw plate 13, and the interior of the soaking tank 1 is fixedly connected to the push rod 14. The front end of the push rod 14 is fixedly connected to the push plate 15.

[0021] During use, after adding clean water to the soaking tank 1, the harvested lotus roots are placed into the soaking tank 1. Simultaneously, multiple aerators 12 inside the soaking tank 1 are activated, allowing the clean water to better soften the mud on the surface of the lotus roots, facilitating subsequent cleaning. At the same time, the first motor 2 is started, driving the first drive shaft 3 to rotate. The first drive shaft 3 then drives the first drive roller 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the first feeding belt 5 to rotate, conveying the lotus roots forward. Simultaneously, as the first drive shaft 3 rotates, the pulley drives the first transmission belt 6 to rotate. One end of the first transmission belt 6 drives the second drive shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second drive roller 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the second feeding belt 9 to rotate. Multiple baffles 10 on the surface of the second feeding belt 9 move, lifting the soaked lotus roots through the baffles 10 and placing them inside the guide plate 18, then into the cleaning tank 19. Because the surface of the baffle 10 is provided with through holes, it can prevent too much water from being carried away during the lifting process. When a lot of sludge accumulates at the bottom of the soaking tank 1, the pull plate 13 above the soaking tank 1 is pulled out. After the pull plate 13 is pulled out, the push plate 15 can be moved inside the soaking tank 1 by the push rod 14. The sludge at the bottom is pushed to one side and discharged by the push plate 15.

[0022] The cleaning tank 19 is fixedly connected to the second motor 20, and the second motor 20 is connected to the guide roller 21. The guide roller 21 is arranged in an array inside the cleaning tank 19, and the guide rollers 21 are connected to each other by the second transmission belt 22. The guide roller 21 and the second transmission belt 22 are connected. The cleaning tank 19 is connected to the water supply pipe 23, and the water supply pipe 23 is connected to the high-pressure nozzle 24. The water supply pipe 23 is arranged in an array above the cleaning tank 19, and the water supply pipe 23 is connected to the outside. Multiple high-pressure nozzles 24 are connected to the bottom of the water supply pipe 23.

[0023] Once the lotus root enters the cleaning tank 19, the second motor 20 drives the guide roller 21 to rotate. Simultaneously, the guide roller 21 drives the second transmission belt 22 to rotate via a pulley. This second transmission belt 22 then drives the other guide rollers 21 to rotate. Multiple second transmission belts 22 synchronously rotate multiple guide rollers 21 inside the cleaning tank 19, conveying the lotus root. During this conveying process, multiple high-pressure nozzles 24 below multiple water pipes 23 clean the surface of the lotus root. The guide rollers 21 rotate the lotus root during conveying, thus cleaning different areas of its surface and removing mud and impurities.

[0024] Working Principle: When using the lotus root processing impurity removal device, after adding clean water to the soaking tank 1, the harvested lotus roots are placed into the soaking tank 1. Simultaneously, multiple aerators 12 inside the soaking tank 1 are activated, allowing the clean water to better soften the sludge on the surface of the lotus roots, facilitating subsequent cleaning. At the same time, the first motor 2 is started, driving the first drive shaft 3 to rotate. The first drive shaft 3 then drives the first drive roller 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the first feeding belt 5 to rotate, conveying the lotus roots forward. Simultaneously, as the first drive shaft 3 rotates, the pulley drives the first transmission belt 6 to rotate. One end of the first transmission belt 6 drives the second drive shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second drive roller 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the second feeding belt 9 to rotate. Multiple baffles 10 on the surface of the second feeding belt 9 move, lifting the soaked lotus roots through the baffles 10 into the guide plate 18, and then into the cleaning tank 19. Because the baffle 10 has through holes, it can prevent excessive water from being carried away during the lifting process. When a lot of sludge accumulates at the bottom of the soaking tank 1, the pull plate 13 above the soaking tank 1 is pulled out. After the pull plate 13 is pulled out, the push plate 15 can be moved inside the soaking tank 1 by the push rod 14. The push plate 15 pushes the sludge at the bottom to one side and discharges it. When the lotus root enters the washing tank 19, the guide roller 21 is rotated by the second motor 20. At the same time, the guide roller 21 drives the second transmission belt 22 to rotate through the pulley. At this time, the second transmission belt 22 drives the other guide rollers 21 to rotate. Multiple second transmission belts 22 drive multiple guide rollers 21 inside the washing tank 19 to rotate synchronously, and the lotus root is transported by the guide rollers 21. At the same time, during the lotus root transportation process, multiple high-pressure nozzles 24 below the multiple water pipes 23 above clean the surface of the lotus root. During the conveying process, the guide roller 21 can make the lotus root rotate, thereby cleaning different parts of the lotus root surface, cleaning the mud and impurities on the lotus root surface, and thus completing a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
