Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a potato cleaning device for vermicelli processing. Background Technology
[0002] Vermicelli production requires the use of tuber crops, also known as root and tuber crops, which mainly include sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, taro, etc. The product organs of these crops are tubers and tubers, which have two physiological stages: the early growth stage and the tuber enlargement stage. In the sweet potato processing industry, because the surface of sweet potatoes is covered with mud and sand, they must be washed before processing.
[0003] According to the description in the patent application CN 219146703U, a rapid potato cleaning device is disclosed, comprising a cleaning tank with a lid bolted to one side. The cleaning tank contains a brush assembly, a feed inlet at the top, a discharge outlet on one side, a material channel assembly on one side, a water outlet valve at the bottom, and a water pump fixedly connected to the top. The water pump has a detachable inlet pipe on one side and a conveying pipe detachably connected to the other side. The device includes a discharge rack, ventilation duct, fan, fixing bolts, mounting groove, first filter, long duct, and second filter. By activating the fan, residual moisture on the surface of the cleaned potatoes is dried, making them cleaner and easier for operators to process. The device is simple in structure and easy to use.
[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following problems exist: When the device is in use, starting the motor drives a rotating gear rod, which in turn drives a double-headed gear rod, which in turn drives a single-headed gear rod. The single-headed gear rod then rotates, causing the soft brushes to continuously scrub the potatoes inside the washing tank. The scrubbing action of the two soft brushes greatly increases efficiency and cleaning effectiveness. However, this is a drum-type washing device. During the washing process, some sweet potatoes will tumble and collide inside the drum under the influence of the brushes, easily leading to mechanical damage, especially for some softer sweet potato varieties. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the problem that the rotation of the drum can easily damage potatoes.
