Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Sichuan pepper processing technology, specifically a Sichuan pepper impurity separation device based on friction and shape differences. Background Technology

[0002] Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum) is a shrub belonging to the Rutaceae family and the Zanthoxylum genus. It is usually 1-2 meters tall. The stems and branches have short thorns, which are flattened on both sides at the base. The young branches are dark purplish-red. It is found in various habitats, such as plains, sparse forests or thickets in mountains at an altitude of 800 meters, or near rocks. The leaves have 7-19 leaflets, which are papery, almost sessile, and usually alternate at the base of the leaf rachis. The petiole is 1-3 mm long. The leaves are broadly ovate-lanceolate or broadly ovate-rhomboid, 5-10 mm long and 4-6 mm wide, with a short to acuminate apex and a rounded or broadly cuneate base. They are bilaterally symmetrical, sometimes with one side being oblique. There are many or inconspicuous oil dots. The leaf surface has fine short hairs or hair-like protuberances visible under a magnifying glass. The leaf margins are finely serrated or nearly entire, with glandular dots below the serrations. The leaf rachis has narrow wings and sparse, slightly upward-pointing small prickles.

[0003] However, currently available green Sichuan peppercorns require shelling during processing. The difference between the shells and seeds lies in their uses: the shells have a stronger aroma than the seeds. In main dishes, Sichuan peppercorns are generally preferred over the seeds because the shells are more visually appealing and produce a better-looking dish. The seeds, on the other hand, are mainly used for foot baths and medicinal purposes. If separating the shells and seeds is difficult during the subsequent separation process, it will affect the separation efficiency of the device and reduce its ease of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for separating impurities in Sichuan peppercorns based on friction and shape differences, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for separating impurities in Sichuan peppercorns based on friction and shape differences, comprising a base, a cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base, an electric push rod fixedly mounted on the top of the cylinder, and a bracket fixedly mounted on the top of the electric push rod.

[0006] A motor is fixedly installed at the bottom, and a grinding disc is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the motor. A discharge pipe is connected to one side of the cylinder.

[0007] With the motor and grinding disc in place, the peppercorns are crushed by the grinding disc during use. Then, the peppercorns are cleaned by the scraper on the grinding disc, so that the crushed raw material enters the screen above the discharge pipe for subsequent separation.

[0008] A housing is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base. One end of the discharge pipe is connected to one side of the housing. A mesh plate is rotatably connected inside the housing via a rotating shaft. A discharge plate is fixedly installed on one side of the mesh plate. A vibration motor is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the housing. A protective plate is fixedly installed on the top of the vibration motor. The bottom of the protective plate is in contact with the bottom of the mesh plate.

[0009] With the addition of a vibrating motor and protective plate, the mesh plate can be shaken during use, thereby separating and filtering impurities and seeds from the Sichuan peppercorns. This prevents incomplete separation of impurities, improves the separation efficiency of the device, and facilitates normal subsequent use.

[0010] Preferably, mounting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the base. The mounting plates have mounting holes, which are round holes. The lower surface of the mounting plates has anti-slip texture. The mounting plates facilitate the installation and positioning of the device during use, thereby maintaining the positioning stability of the device and preventing the device from becoming loose, thus improving the ease of use of the device.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the discharge pipe is inclined, and the side with the lower inclination angle is located inside the shell. The inclined discharge pipe facilitates the entry of subsequent raw materials into the shell during use, thereby facilitating the material transfer operation.

[0012] Preferably, the grinding disc has an annular groove at the top and a feed hole in the inner bottom wall of the annular groove. The feed hole is conical. The annular groove and feed hole facilitate the feeding of raw materials during use, allowing the addition of raw materials while grinding without stopping the machine.

[0013] Preferably, a raised rod is fixedly installed on the bottom of the grinding disc. The raised rod is fan-shaped, and one side surface of the raised rod is rounded. The raised rods are evenly distributed in a circular pattern on the bottom of the grinding disc.

[0014] The raised rods on the part increase the contact area of ​​the Sichuan peppercorns during use, thus facilitating the subsequent crushing and processing of the peppercorns.

[0015] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly installed on the surface of the grinding disc. The scraper is arc-shaped, with one end of the scraper in contact with the inner wall of the cylinder and the bottom of the scraper in contact with the inner bottom wall of the cylinder. The scraper is made of rubber, and one side of the inner bottom wall of the discharge pipe is flush with the inner bottom wall of the cylinder. The scraper is designed to facilitate the cleaning of the raw material, thereby facilitating subsequent use and the transfer of the crushed raw material.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This kind of Sichuan pepper impurity separation device based on friction and shape difference can shake the mesh plate during use by setting a vibration motor and a protective plate, so as to separate and filter the impurities and pepper seeds in the Sichuan pepper during use, avoid incomplete separation of impurities during use, improve the separation efficiency of the device, and facilitate subsequent normal use.

[0018] (2) This kind of Sichuan pepper impurity separation device based on friction and shape difference, through the motor and grinding disc, can squeeze the Sichuan pepper to break the shell during use, and then scrape it with the scraper on the grinding disc, so that the ground and crushed raw material enters the top of the screen through the discharge pipe, which is convenient for subsequent separation operation.

The scraper 9 is designed to facilitate the cleaning of the raw materials, thereby facilitating subsequent use and the transfer of crushed raw materials.

[0028] With the motor 5 and grinding disc 6 in place, the green peppercorns can be crushed by the grinding disc 6 during use. Then, the scraper 9 on the grinding disc 6 is used to clean them, so that the crushed raw material enters the screen plate 10 through the discharge pipe 7, which facilitates the subsequent separation operation.

[0029] A housing 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The inner wall of the discharge pipe 7 is set in an inclined state, and the side with the lower inclination angle is located inside the housing 8.
