Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of liquor processing equipment, specifically relating to a device for removing straw from koji blocks. Background Technology
[0002] In the baijiu brewing process, the production of koji (fermentation starter) is a crucial step. Taking sauce-flavored baijiu as an example, when the koji is fermented in the fermentation chamber, rice straw is used to separate the koji blocks, preventing them from sticking together and also serving to keep them warm, moisturize, and allow for ventilation. After fermentation, the rice straw adheres tightly to the surface of the koji blocks, at which point it must be removed. However, the current efficiency of removing straw from the koji blocks is extremely low. At present, most companies use manual removal. Workers must first manually remove the longer pieces of straw from the surface of the koji blocks, and then repeatedly wipe away the shorter or tightly stuck straw. This method is not only labor-intensive but also slow, greatly limiting the improvement of production efficiency. Some companies have tried to introduce simple mechanical assistance, but these devices have limited functions and can only handle relatively loose straw. They are not effective for tightly stuck straw, requiring secondary manual cleaning, and the overall straw removal efficiency has not improved significantly. Moreover, in the traditional de-waxing process, the entire process from taking the koji blocks out of the koji silo to completing the de-waxing and then transferring them to the dry koji silo is complicated and the material flow time is long, which further reduces the overall efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the problems mentioned above in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a device for removing grass from curved blocks.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A block de-weeding device includes a frame and a tank mounted on the frame. The tank has an inlet and an outlet. The tank is equipped with a drive mechanism, a de-weeding mechanism, and an opening and closing mechanism. The drive mechanism and the de-weeding mechanism are connected. The opening and closing mechanism is used to open and close the outlet. The drive mechanism includes a motor mounted outside the tank and a mounting plate mounted inside the tank. A drive pulley is mounted at the output end of the motor. Several driven pulleys and guide pulleys are horizontally mounted in a ring on the mounting plate. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the shaft of each driven pulley. A bearing is installed between the rotating rod and the mounting plate. A transmission belt is installed between the drive pulley, the driven pulleys, and the guide pulleys. The drive pulley drives all the driven pulleys to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the transmission belt and the guide pulleys. A first bevel gear is fixedly mounted at the other end of the rotating rod. A bearing seat is mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate. A first rotating shaft is mounted on the bearing seat. A drive gear and a second bevel gear are mounted on the first rotating shaft. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear. The weed removal mechanism includes a spring buckle installed on the lower side of the mounting plate and a transmission box rotatably installed on the end of the first rotating shaft. A spring is connected between the top end of the transmission box and the spring buckle. A second rotating shaft and a third rotating shaft are rotatably installed inside the transmission box. A driven gear and a driving pulley are respectively installed at both ends of the second rotating shaft. The driven gear meshes with the driving gear. A driven pulley and a roller brush are respectively installed at both ends of the third rotating shaft. A belt connects the driving pulley and the driven pulley.
[0005] Further specifying, the opening and closing mechanism includes four guide rails disposed inside the discharge port and an electric telescopic rod mounted on the frame. The four guide rails are shaped to resemble the structure of the discharge port and are positioned at the four corners of the discharge port. The lower ends of the four guide rails are provided with hooks, and the upper ends of the four guide rails are provided with baffles. The four guide rails are divided into two groups, and the two groups of guide rails are arranged back to back. A baffle plate is slidably mounted on the four guide rails together via pulleys.

[0006] Further, a limiting plate is installed inside the tank, and both the limiting plate and the mounting plate are provided with limiting ports. The transmission box is located in the limiting port and can move a short distance within the limiting port.
[0007] Furthermore, the inlet output end is cylindrical, and the horizontal position of the inlet output end is lower than the installation horizontal position of the limiting plate.
[0008] Further specifying, the transmission box is equipped with a cutting blade, and the working end of the cutting blade is in contact with the working surface of the roller brush.
[0009] The beneficial effects of using this utility model are as follows: The structural design of this utility model enables automated removal of grass from curved blocks, saving labor costs and allowing it to be integrated with automated equipment to achieve assembly line production and processing, thus adapting to social development. The structural design of this utility model, with multiple weed removal mechanisms arranged in a ring, can remove weeds from the curved blocks from all directions, ensuring a good cleaning effect. Moreover, the multiple weed removal mechanisms are driven by only one drive mechanism, and the power source is only one motor, so it has advantages in energy saving. This utility model has a compact structure, and its longitudinal structure results in a small footprint and good space utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0011] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Example
[0012] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the curved block weed removal device of this utility model includes a frame 1 and a tank 2 installed on the frame 1. The tank 2 is provided with an inlet 3 and an outlet 4. The tank 2 is equipped with a drive mechanism 5, a weed removal mechanism 6 and an opening and closing mechanism 7. The drive mechanism 5 and the weed removal mechanism 6 are connected, and the opening and closing mechanism 7 is used to open and close the outlet 4. The drive mechanism 5 includes a motor 51 installed outside the tank body 2 and a mounting plate 52 installed inside the tank body 2. A drive pulley 53 is installed at the output end of the motor 51. Several driven pulleys 54 and guide wheels 55 are installed in a ring horizontally on the mounting plate 52. A rotating rod 56 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the driven pulleys 54. A bearing 57 is installed between the rotating rod 56 and the mounting plate 52. A transmission belt 58 is installed between the drive pulley 53, the driven pulleys 54 and the guide wheels 55. The drive pulley 53 drives all the driven pulleys 54 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction through the transmission belt 58 and the guide wheels 55. A first bevel gear 59 is fixedly installed at the other end of the rotating rod 56. A bearing seat 510 is installed on the lower side of the mounting plate 52. A first rotating shaft 511 is installed on the bearing seat 510. A drive gear 512 and a second bevel gear 513 are installed on the first rotating shaft 511. The second bevel gear 513 and the first bevel gear 59 mesh and match. The weed removal mechanism 6 includes a spring buckle 61 mounted on the lower side of the mounting plate 52 and a transmission box 62 rotatably mounted on the end of the first rotating shaft 511. A spring 63 is connected between the top end of the transmission box 62 and the spring buckle 61. A second rotating shaft 64 and a third rotating shaft 65 are rotatably mounted inside the transmission box 62. A driven gear 66 and a driving pulley 67 are respectively mounted at both ends of the second rotating shaft 64. The driven gear 66 meshes with the driving gear 512. A driven pulley 68 and a roller brush 69 are respectively mounted at both ends of the third rotating shaft 65. A belt 610 is connected between the driving pulley 67 and the driven pulley 68.
[0013] In this implementation case, the koji block with koji grass enters the tank 2 from the feed port 3, comes into contact with the grass removal mechanism 6 driven by the drive mechanism 5, and performs grass removal action. Then, with the opening and closing mechanism 7, the koji block and koji grass are discharged from the tank 2 together. Specifically, the control opening and closing mechanism 7 closes the discharge port 4, and the starting motor 51 drives the drive pulley 53 to rotate. Under the effect of the transmission belt 58 and the guide wheel 55, all the driven pulleys 54 distributed in a ring on the upper side of the mounting plate 52 will rotate. The rotation of the driven pulleys 54 drives the rotation of the first bevel gear 59 connected through the rotating rod 56. The second bevel gear 513 then rotates, causing the first rotating shaft 511 to rotate, transmitting the force to the drive gear 512, and then to the driven gear 66 of the weed removal mechanism 6 as power. The rotation of the driven gear 66 drives the second shaft 64 to rotate, and the driving pulley 68 rotates accordingly. Under the transmission effect of the driving pulley 67, the driven pulley 68 rotates. Under the transmission of the third shaft 65, the roller brush 69 rotates and contacts the curved block to remove the grass from the curved block. The entire transmission box 62 is angularly offset with the first shaft 511 as the axis of rotation. While the lower end contacts the curved block, the upper spring 63 can provide a reaction force, so that the roller brush 69 can better contact the curved block and better remove grass. The installation of multiple roller brushes 69 in a ring shape can achieve all-round grass removal treatment. After processing, the opening and closing mechanism 7 is opened, and the curved blocks and straw can be discharged directly from the discharge port 4. Example
[0014] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the opening and closing mechanism 7 includes four guide rails 71 located inside the discharge port 4 and an electric telescopic rod 72 mounted on the frame 1. The four guide rails 71 are shaped to resemble the structure of the discharge port 4. The four guide rails 71 are positioned at the four corners of the discharge port 4. The lower end of the four guide rails 71 is provided with a hook 73, and the upper end of the four guide rails 71 is provided with a retaining edge 74. The four guide rails 71 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of guide rails 71 are arranged back to back. The four guide rails 71 are slidably mounted with a baffle plate 75 through pulleys. The bottom center of the baffle plate 75 is hinged to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 72. In this embodiment, when closed, the electric telescopic rod 72 is in an extended state. Under the limiting guidance of the guide rail 71, the baffle plate 75 rises to contact the retaining edge 74, thereby closing the discharge port 4. Under this effect, the baffle plate 75 can also support the curved block. When opened, the electric telescopic rod 72 is in a retracted state. Similarly, under the effect of the guide rail 71, the baffle plate 75 will have a process of first descending vertically and then tilting. In conjunction with the inner wall of the discharge port 4 on the tank body 2, the purpose of slowly discharging the curved block can be achieved. This discharging method reduces the impact force of the curved block on the discharging position. Example
[0015] like Figure 2 As shown, a limiting plate 8 is installed inside the tank body 2. Both the limiting plate 8 and the mounting plate 52 are provided with limiting ports 9. The transmission box 62 is located in the limiting port 9 and can move a short distance in the limiting port 9. In this implementation case, when the curved block enters the tank 2 from the feed port 3 and falls onto the roller brush 69, its impact force will cause the transmission box 62 to deviate at an angle around the first rotating shaft 511. This deviation should not be too large, otherwise the curved block may fall directly from the middle position, losing the effect of contact and grass removal. Therefore, the limiting port 9 can well ensure the movement distance of the transmission box 62 and ensure that there is no large positional deviation when subjected to impact. Example
[0016] like Figure 2 As shown, the output end of the feed inlet 3 is cylindrical, and the horizontal position of the output end of the feed inlet 3 is lower than the installation horizontal position of the limit plate 8. In this implementation case, the extension of the cylindrical inlet 3 ensures that the curved block will not come into contact with the components on the drive mechanism 5, thereby ensuring the operating effect. The same principle applies to the limitation of the position. In fact, the structural shape of the inlet 3 can be considered according to the specific situation. Example
[0017] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the transmission box 62 is equipped with a cutting blade 611, and the working end of the cutting blade 611 is in contact with the working surface of the roller brush 69. In this implementation case, the cutting blade 611 can effectively cut the tumbled grass on the roller brush 69, preventing it from becoming excessively entangled and thus reducing the processing effect on the block. Its installation position cannot be set in the working area of the roller brush 69, and its number is not limited. In fact, the style and installation position of the cutting blade 611 can be considered according to the specific situation.

Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
