Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of quinoa processing equipment, specifically a saponin removal device for quinoa production. Background Technology

[0002] Saponins are self-defense substances formed in quinoa during its natural growth process. They are inherently toxic, and if consumed directly without removal, they may irritate the human digestive system, causing discomfort such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, affecting food safety. Furthermore, saponins have a bitter taste, which severely affects the texture and flavor of quinoa, necessitating their removal. However, existing saponin removal devices cannot adequately agitate the quinoa, making it difficult for the quinoa grains to come into sufficient contact and rub against each other, resulting in insufficient removal of surface saponins and poor saponin removal efficiency. Additionally, during the soaking process, the germ cells of quinoa absorb water and swell, germinating into buds. These buds are the edible part of quinoa, non-toxic, and rich in nutrients such as protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and dietary fiber. These buds are discarded during saponin removal, resulting in nutrient waste. To address these issues, a saponin removal device for quinoa production is needed.

[0003] An existing saponin removal device for quinoa production cannot fully stir the quinoa during operation, resulting in incomplete saponin removal, which affects food safety and the taste and flavor of quinoa. During the saponin removal process, the sprouts that have formed are also poured out, causing nutrient waste. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a saponin removal device for quinoa production. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a saponin removal device for quinoa production, in order to solve the problems of existing saponin removal devices for quinoa production, which cannot fully stir quinoa during use, resulting in incomplete removal of saponins, affecting food safety and the taste and flavor of quinoa, and also causing nutrient waste by dumping out the germinating buds during the saponin removal process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a saponin removal device for quinoa production, comprising a washing tank, a handle installed on the outer wall of the washing tank, a rotary motor installed at the bottom of the washing tank, a turntable installed on the top of the rotary motor, a stirring rod installed on the outer wall of the turntable, a limiting groove formed at the top of the washing tank, a fixing sleeve installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove, a filter screen installed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, a limiting spring installed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve, and a top rod installed on the outer wall of the limiting spring.

[0006] Preferably, the handle is welded to the cleaning tank, and the handle is symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the cleaning tank as the center.

[0007] Preferably, the turntable forms a rotating structure with the cleaning tank via a rotary motor, and the stirring rods are arranged in a circular array with the central axis of the turntable as the center.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing sleeve is inserted into the limiting groove, and the outer diameter of the fixing sleeve matches the inner diameter of the limiting groove.

[0009] Preferably, the top rod forms a telescopic structure with the fixing sleeve via a limiting spring, and the top rod is engaged with the cleaning tank.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model uses a cleaning tank, handle, rotary motor, turntable, and stirring rod. Clean water is poured into the cleaning tank, and then quinoa is poured in. The rotary motor is then started to drive the turntable and stirring rod to rotate at a constant speed to fully stir the quinoa. This allows the quinoa to come into full contact and collide with each other, thereby effectively removing saponins and avoiding saponin residue.

[0011] 2. This utility model uses a limiting groove, a fixing sleeve, a filter screen, a limiting spring, and a top rod. The top rod is pressed inward, and then the filter screen is inserted into the limiting groove. At this time, the top rod is pushed out by the elastic force of the limiting spring, so that the top rod is locked and fixed with the cleaning tank, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning. The filter screen can intercept the buds formed by the quinoa and the internal germ cells absorbing water and swelling, thus avoiding nutrient loss and waste and improving its nutritional value.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0015] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0016] Please see Figures 1-4 A saponin removal device for quinoa production includes a washing tank 1, a handle 2 installed on the outer wall of the washing tank 1, a rotary motor 3 installed at the bottom of the washing tank 1, a turntable 4 installed at the top of the rotary motor 3, and stirring rods 5 installed on the outer wall of the turntable 4. The handle 2 is welded to the washing tank 1 and is symmetrically arranged around the central axis of the washing tank 1. The turntable 4 forms a rotating structure with the washing tank 1 via the rotary motor 3, and the stirring rods 5 are arranged in a circular array around the central axis of the turntable 4. Clean water is injected into the washing tank 1 through the washing tank 1, handle 2, rotary motor 3, turntable 4, and stirring rods 5, and then quinoa is poured in. Then, the rotary motor 3 is started to drive the turntable 4 and stirring rods 5 to rotate at a uniform speed, which fully stirs the quinoa, allowing the quinoa to come into full contact and collide and rub against each other, thereby fully removing saponins and avoiding saponin residue.

[0017] Please see Figures 1-4 A saponin removal device for quinoa production includes a washing tank 1 with a limiting groove 6 at the top. A fixing sleeve 7 is installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove 6, and a filter screen 8 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 7. A limiting spring 9 is installed on the inner wall of the fixing sleeve 7, and a push rod 10 is installed on the outer wall of the limiting spring 9. The fixing sleeve 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 6, and the outer diameter of the fixing sleeve 7 matches the inner diameter of the limiting groove 6. The push rod 10 forms a telescopic structure with the fixing sleeve 7 via the limiting spring 9. The cleaning tank 1 is connected by a locking mechanism. Through the setting of the limiting groove 6, fixing sleeve 7, filter screen 8, limiting spring 9 and top rod 10, the top rod 10 is pressed inward, and then the filter screen 8 is inserted into the limiting groove 6. At this time, the top rod 10 is pushed out by the elastic force of the limiting spring 9, so that the top rod 10 is locked and fixed with the cleaning tank 1, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning. The filter screen 8 can intercept the sprouts formed by the quinoa and the internal germ cells absorbing water and swelling, thus avoiding nutrient loss and waste and improving its nutritional value.

[0018] Working principle: In use, first fill the washing tank 1 with clean water, then pour in quinoa. Then, start the rotary motor 3 to drive the turntable 4 and stirring rod 5 to rotate at a constant speed, thoroughly stirring the quinoa and ensuring full contact and friction between the quinoa grains, thereby effectively removing saponins and preventing residue. Then, press the top rod 10 inward, and then insert the filter screen 8 into the limiting groove 6. At this time, the top rod 10 is pushed out by the elastic force of the limiting spring 9, locking the top rod 10 into the washing tank 1 for easy disassembly and cleaning. Then, hold the handle 2 and flip the washing tank 1 to pour out the saponins inside. The filter screen 8 can intercept the quinoa and the sprouts formed by the absorbing water and swelling of the internal germ cells, preventing nutrient loss and waste, and improving its nutritional value. This completes the use of the device. The contents not described in detail in this manual are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
