Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mulberry bark pretreatment, specifically to a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device. Background Technology

[0002] Mulberry bark (Sangbaipi) is the dried root bark of the mulberry tree (Morus alba), a plant in the Moraceae family. Also known as mulberry tree or yellow mulberry, it originated in China, where mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing have a history spanning thousands of years. This plant exists both wild and cultivated throughout China. The entire mulberry tree has medicinal value: the roots (mulberry bark), stems and branches (mulberry branches), leaves (mulberry leaves), and fruits (mulberries) can all be used medicinally. Mulberry bark is cold in nature and sweet in taste, and can purge the lungs and promote urination; mulberry branches are neutral in nature and slightly bitter in taste, and can dispel wind-dampness and benefit the joints; mulberry leaves are cold in nature and sweet and bitter in taste, and can dispel wind-heat and clear the liver and improve eyesight; mulberries are warm in nature and sweet and sour in taste, and have the effects of tonifying the liver and kidneys, nourishing blood, and promoting body fluid production.

[0003] The processing method is described in "Harvesting and Processing Technology of Mulberry Bark": Preparation of mulberry bark: After harvesting mulberry roots, remove the soil and fibrous roots while they are still fresh; scrape off the yellowish-brown rough bark (cork), cut the bark lengthwise, take out the white inner bark, and sun-dry it. Mulberry leaf harvesting: It is advisable to harvest in October when the first frost occurs. After drying, remove impurities, crush and remove stems, sift out ash, and dry and store. Mulberry branch processing: Harvest branches in late spring and early summer, remove leaves and sun-dry slightly; while fresh, cut into sections of about 30 cm, sun-dry and store; Mulberry processing: Harvest from April to June, sun-dry or steam and then sun-dry; if the fruit is purplish-black and overripe, it is better to make a paste than to eat raw. Store in a well-ventilated and dry environment, and protect from insects.

[0004] As mentioned above, scraping off the yellowish-brown rough bark (cork) is a pre-treatment step involving longitudinally splitting the bark. In this step, the mulberry root must be manually held and operated on a high-speed rotating abrasive wheel. This method carries safety risks and relies on the operator's experience to precisely control the movement, avoiding excessive scraping that could damage the inner bark.

[0005] To address this problem, we provide a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device. By constraining the mulberry root positioning through a material hopper and combining the synergistic effect of a linear drive mechanism and a rotary scraping head, it achieves a semi-automatic operation for scraping off the yellow-brown rough bark (cork), eliminating the safety risks of manual operation and overcoming the dependence of traditional processes on operator experience.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device, comprising: The operating platform is equipped with a hopper for holding mulberry roots, and the top of the hopper has a top opening for the mulberry roots to enter. The scraping device is located on the side of the material storage bin. The scraping device includes a sliding platform. A linear drive mechanism provides power to the sliding platform and drives the sliding platform to move linearly along the length of the material storage bin. A motor bracket is installed on the sliding platform, and a rotary drive motor is fixed on the motor bracket. The rotating shaft of the rotary drive motor is connected to the scraping head. The scraping part of the scraping head extends into the upper working area of ​​the material storage bin. The above structure fixes the mulberry root through the material storage bin, avoiding the risk of manual handling. The synergy between the linear drive and the rotary scraping realizes semi-automatic scraping and eliminates the problem of uneven scraping caused by hand tremors in the traditional process.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above solution, the top opening is provided with symmetrical concave structures on both sides. The concave structures are connected to the top opening and form a manual operation groove. The design of the manual operation groove allows manual assistance to rotate the mulberry root after the sliding platform completes a single linear stroke, so as to realize the circumferential multi-faceted scraping of the mulberry root and ensure the integrity of the semi-automatic circumferential full scraping operation.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above solution, the linear drive mechanism includes a drive mounting base, a feed screw mounted on the drive mounting base, a feed drive motor connected to the feed screw, and a threaded transmission pair formed between the feed screw and the sliding platform. The rotational motion of the motor is converted into axial linear displacement through the screw drive, thereby achieving constant control of the feed speed and eliminating the uneven scraping depth caused by speed fluctuations during manual operation.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above solution, axially parallel guide posts are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feed screw. The double guide posts counteract the radial off-center load of the scraping head, preventing the sliding platform from overturning and ensuring that the sliding platform moves smoothly in a straight line.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above solution, the abrasive part includes a rotating seat coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft. Several abrasive blades are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating seat. The abrasive blades are bent and adaptable to the irregular surface of mulberry roots. They are especially effective at scraping off cork from uneven parts (such as root nodules) and reducing residue.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above solution, the number of material storage bins is two, and the two material storage bins are symmetrically placed on both sides of the operating table. Through the synchronous operation of the two workstations, the work efficiency is effectively improved.

[0013] This utility model provides a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device, which has the following beneficial effects: This utility model discloses a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device, which physically isolates mulberry roots from the operator through a material hopper, avoiding the risk of mechanical injury from contact with a high-speed rotating scraping head when manually holding the device. This utility model discloses a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device. The linear drive mechanism (feed screw + guide column) and the rotary scraping head work together to achieve mechanical linkage between axial uniform feed and circumferential scraping. The constant feed speed replaces the speed fluctuation of manual movement, eliminates the problem of uneven scraping depth caused by differences in operator experience, and reduces the dependence on skilled workers.

The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a specific embodiment of a mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device. The device includes an operating table 1 with a storage bin 2 for mulberry roots. The top of the storage bin 2 has an opening 21 for the top of the mulberry roots, which is elongated and fitted to the roots. A scraping device 3 is arranged on the side of the storage bin 2. The scraping device 3 includes a sliding platform 31, driven by a linear drive mechanism 32, which moves linearly along the length of the storage bin 2. A motor bracket 33 is mounted on the sliding platform 31, and a rotary drive motor 34 is fixed to the bracket. The shaft of the rotary drive motor 34 is connected to a scraping head 35, and the scraping part 36 of the scraping head 35 extends into the upper working area of ​​the storage bin 2. This device uses the storage bin 2 to fix the mulberry roots, avoiding the risks of manual operation. The linear drive and rotary scraping work together to achieve a semi-automatic peeling function, solving the problem of uneven scraping caused by hand tremors in traditional methods.

[0020] Furthermore, the linear drive mechanism 32 includes a drive mounting base 321, on which a feed screw 322 is mounted. A feed drive motor 323 is connected to the feed screw 322. The feed screw 322 and the sliding platform 31 form a threaded transmission pair. The motor rotational motion is converted into axial linear displacement through the screw drive, thereby achieving constant control of the feed speed and eliminating the problem of uneven scraping depth caused by speed fluctuations during manual operation.

[0021] Of course, the linear drive mechanism 32 can also use a structure such as a cylinder to drive the sliding platform 31 to reciprocate in a linear direction. Of course, the linear drive structure can also use other methods to reciprocate in a linear direction.

[0022] Furthermore, the top opening 21 has symmetrical concave structures on both sides of one end. The concave structures are connected to the top opening 21 to form a manual operation groove 22. This design allows the sliding platform 31 to complete a single linear stroke, and then manually rotate the mulberry root to achieve circumferential multi-faceted scraping of the mulberry root, ensuring the integrity of the semi-automated circumferential full scraping operation.

[0023] Furthermore, axially parallel guide columns 324 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the feed screw 322. The guide columns 324 counteract the radial off-center load of the scraping head 35, prevent the sliding platform 31 from overturning, and ensure that the sliding platform 31 moves smoothly in a straight line.

[0024] Furthermore, the abrasive part 36 includes a coaxially fixed rotating base 361, and several scraping blades 362 are fixedly arranged in a circumferential array on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating base 361. The scraping blades 362 are bent and adapt to the irregular surface of the mulberry root, effectively scraping off the cork on uneven parts (such as root nodules) and reducing residue.

[0025] Furthermore, there are two material storage bins 2, which are symmetrically placed on both sides of the operating table 1. This dual-station design enables synchronous operation and effectively improves the working efficiency of the device.

[0026] The mulberry bark peeling pretreatment device provided in this embodiment operates as follows: The operator places the mulberry root longitudinally into the top opening 21 of the material container 2 on the operating table 1. The opening configuration is adapted to the geometry of the mulberry root, ensuring positioning stability throughout the processing. The feed drive motor 323 outputs power, which is converted into linear displacement by the lead screw transmission mechanism, driving the sliding platform 31 to move at a constant speed along the length of the material container 2. Simultaneously, the sliding platform 31 carries the rotary drive motor 34, which drives the scraping head 35 to rotate at high speed. Its abrasive part 36 penetrates the upper working area of ​​the material container 2, continuously contacting the surface of the mulberry root to perform scraping operations. After the uniaxial scraping stroke ends, the operator uses the manual operation groove 22 set at the end of the top opening 21 to manually rotate the mulberry root circumferentially, so that the unprocessed area is precisely aligned with the scraping head 35. The axial scraping and circumferential rotation processes are repeated until the bark on the entire circumferential surface of the mulberry root is completely removed, ultimately achieving the goal of complete bark removal.

[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
