Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kudzu root powder production and processing technology, specifically a kudzu root powder processing and rinsing device. Background Technology
[0002] The production and processing of kudzu root powder includes washing, crushing, grinding, washing, rinsing and settling, and drying. First, the kudzu roots need to be thoroughly cleaned to remove surface dirt and impurities. The cleaned kudzu roots are then crushed into small pieces and ground into a kudzu root slurry. This slurry is then repeatedly rinsed in clean water to allow the kudzu root powder to seep into the water. After sedimentation, filtration, and drying, the finished kudzu root powder that can be purchased in the market is produced.
[0003] Rinsing kudzu root powder is a crucial step in its production, aiming to remove impurities and bitterness, thus improving its purity and taste. In the continuous production process, kudzu root pulp is fed into a rinsing tank. During rinsing, a large amount of clean water is added and continuously agitated. This agitation and rinsing introduces air into the water, and due to the composition of kudzu root powder itself, a large amount of floating foam is generated on the surface, requiring timely removal. In existing technology, workers use a plastic scraper to push the floating foam bit by bit to one side of the rinsing tank, where it is then collected in a collection box. However, the existing rinsing tanks lack specialized tools, resulting in slow foam removal and difficulty in achieving thorough cleaning. Furthermore, the need to wash hands before and after handling the scraper leads to prolonged hand immersion in water, causing discomfort for workers and presenting a drawback. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a kudzu root powder processing and rinsing device to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of floating foam during kudzu root powder rinsing.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A kudzu root powder processing and rinsing device includes a rinsing tank. Two guide rods are horizontally installed at the top of the front and back sides of the rinsing tank near one side. Horizontal sleeves are slidably connected to both guide rods. Guide sleeves are vertically fixed to the opposite sides of the two horizontal sleeves. Movable rods are movably inserted into the guide sleeves. Connecting rods are fixed to the top and bottom of the two movable rods.
[0007] A support spring is provided between the guide sleeve and the connecting rod above the movable rod, and a diagonal brace is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods. A scraper mesh is fixedly installed on the side of the diagonal brace.
[0008] Preferably, the length of the guide rod does not exceed half the length of the rinsing tank.
[0009] Preferably, the vertical distance between the front and back edges of the scraper and the front and back walls of the rinsing tank does not exceed 1 cm.
[0010] Preferably, the scraping net includes a frame and a mesh fixed within the frame.
[0011] Preferably, the frame and the diagonal brace are detachably installed via quick-release bolts.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the inclined support frame is inclined downwards towards the side of the guide rod corresponding to the rinsing water tank, and the scraper is installed at an angle.
[0013] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to the connecting rod at the top of the movable rod, and the handle is located on the side of the connecting rod away from the scraper.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] This invention features a liftable and movable scraper. Water is added to the right side of the rinsing tank, causing floating foam to easily accumulate on the left. The scraper is pressed down from the center of the rinsing tank and then moves to the left while maintaining this downward pressure. It then contacts the left side of the inner wall of the rinsing tank and moves upward and to the left, pushing the floating foam to the left side of the rinsing tank in one go, thus cleaning it all at once. The scraper is easily operated by hand, and its size is perfectly matched to the rinsing tank. This not only ensures thorough cleaning but also eliminates the need for workers' hands to come into contact with water, making operation convenient, quick, and user-friendly. This simplifies work, improves efficiency, and solves the problem of inconvenient foam removal during kudzu root powder rinsing. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a kudzu root powder processing and rinsing device, including a rinsing tank 1. Two guide rods 3 are horizontally installed at the top of the front and back of the rinsing tank 1 near one side. The length of the guide rods 3 does not exceed half the length of the rinsing tank 1. The right side of the rinsing tank 1 is slightly higher. Water is added to the right side and overflows to the left side, so that floating foam can easily gather on the left side.
[0024] Two guide rods 3 are slidably connected with horizontal sliding sleeves 4. The opposite surfaces of the two horizontal sliding sleeves 4 are vertically fixed with guide sleeves 5. A movable rod 6 is movably inserted into the guide sleeve 5. A connecting rod 7 is fixed at the top and bottom of the two movable rods 6. A support spring 8 is provided between the guide sleeve 5 and the connecting rod 7 above the movable rod 6 and sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 6.
[0025] A diagonal brace 9 is fixedly connected between the two connecting rods 7. A scraper 10 is fixedly installed on the side of the diagonal brace 9. The bottom of the diagonal brace 9 is inclined downwards towards the side of the guide rod 3 corresponding to the rinsing water tank 1. The scraper 10 is installed at an angle. A handle 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 7 at the top of the movable rod 6. The handle 2 is located on the side of the connecting rod 7 away from the scraper 10. The operator can operate by holding the handle 2. The operator's hands do not need to come into frequent contact with water. This not only ensures that the kudzu root powder is clean and hygienic, but also makes the operator's hands dry and more comfortable during work.
[0026] The vertical distance between the front and back edges of the scraper 10 and the front and back of the inner wall of the rinsing tank 1 does not exceed 1 cm. The scraper 10 includes a frame 101 and a mesh 102 fixed in the frame 101. The frame 101 and the diagonal brace 9 can be detached and installed by quick-release bolts 11.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] Water is added to the right side of the rinsing tank 1, and overflows to the left. Floating foam tends to accumulate on the left. Holding the handle, move it to the right. The scraper 10, under the action of the horizontal sliding sleeve 4, moves to the middle of the rinsing tank 1 along the guide rod 3. By pressing down the handle 2, the scraper 10 is moved downward through the connecting rod 7 and the movable rod 6, until its bottom contacts or is immersed in the water. Maintaining the downward pressure, move it to the left until the scraper 10 contacts the left side of the inner wall of the rinsing tank 1. Then move it upward and then to the left. This will push the floating foam on the water surface to the left side of the rinsing tank 1 and clean it all at once. It can be operated by holding the handle 2. The scraper 10 is a perfect fit for the size of the rinsing tank 1, which not only cleans thoroughly but also prevents the worker's hands from coming into contact with water. It is convenient, quick, and worker-friendly. The scraper 10 can be disassembled separately for easy cleaning and replacement.
