Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vegetable processing equipment, and in particular to a potato processing device that integrates washing and shredding. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes, a widely consumed food globally, require pre-processing steps such as washing, peeling, and shredding / slicing before processing. In traditional processing, washing and shredding are typically done by separate equipment, which has the following drawbacks: 1. Dispersed processes: Manual transfer of potatoes leads to low efficiency, and water residue can create a slippery working environment, posing a safety hazard; 2. Cleaning damage: Existing drum-type washing machines often use hard brushes or metal friction plates, which can easily scratch the potato surface, affecting the appearance and taste of the finished product; 3. Uneven shredding: Conventional shredders rely on manual feeding, and potato positioning deviations can easily lead to inconsistent shredding thickness, and the high-speed rotating blades pose a risk of material splashing.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, existing technologies have proposed some improvements. For example, patent CN 104227760 uses a drive motor to rotate the transmission shaft, causing the turntables and blades at both ends of the transmission shaft to rotate simultaneously. This allows two people to work together using two feeding troughs, resulting in faster shredding speeds. However, this still cannot solve the problem of poor coordination between the washing and shredding processes. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated, low-damage, and resource-efficient potato processing device. Utility Model Content

[0029] The cleaning drum 22 consists of two sets of fixed rings 221 and several circumferentially distributed cleaning rollers 222 connecting the fixed rings. Flexible cleaning brushes 223 are axially arrayed on the surface of the cleaning rollers 222. The bottom of the cleaning drum 22 is connected to a cleaning drive motor 224 via a gear transmission mechanism, driving it to rotate around its axis. A fixed cleaning pipe 23 passes through the center of the drum, and multiple axially distributed nozzles 24 are welded to the outer wall of the cleaning pipe 23. The nozzles 24 are connected to an external water pump via hoses. Multiple transversely protruding buffer plates 211 are welded to the inner wall of the cleaning drum 21. The plates are arranged at an acute angle to the tangent direction of the inner wall of the drum, and the surface is pressed with a corrugated structure. A drain port 225 is opened at the bottom of the cleaning drum 21 for discharging wastewater.

[0030] A circular shredding blade 32 is detachably mounted on the front end of the drive shaft 31 via a keyway. Multiple sets of circumferentially arrayed shredding holes 321 are formed on the side of the blade, and a guide bevel is machined at the entrance end of the shredding holes 321.
