Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The purpose of this invention is to automatically and efficiently remove a large amount of mud and hairy roots from long root vegetables such as burdock, and polish or wash them.

Traditionally, root vegetables such as burdock have a large amount of mud and hair roots attached to them, and the diameter is as large as 50mm, the thinner is 10mm, the longer is 1200mm, and the shorter is 300mm, which is a huge difference, so most of them rely on manual labor. They were removed each time the books were sorted, but this was a difficult task that required a large number of people and time. Recently, various types of washing machines have been devised to solve this problem.

However, although there are washing machines that mainly wash with water, they have the disadvantage of being inefficient, such as being impossible to remove soil from the burdock before shipping without using water, and causing damage to the burdock itself. Therefore, this proposal was devised in an attempt to solve these shortcomings.

The details will be explained below with reference to the drawings. Rotating brushes 3 arranged in parallel on the upper surface of a rotary conveyance roll 2 whose surface is coated with a cushioning material 1 are interlocked, and a corrugated plate brush 4 is constructed in which a cushioning body is attached between the rotating brushes. This relates to a structure in which the top of the rotating conveyor roll 2 is pressed.

In addition, a water storage tank is provided on the bottom of the rotating conveyance roll.
It is also possible to wash with water by attaching a sprinkler pipe to the rotating brush.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, root vegetables such as burdock fed from the input port A are sandwiched between the rotating conveyance roll and the corrugated plate brush 4, and are fed from very thin to thick vegetables without idling, and are rotated in parallel. It moves under the brush 3 and goes towards the exit B. At this time, the group of rotating brushes that rotate forward and backward and rotate at high speed in conjunction removes mud and hair roots that are attached to burdock etc., easily and neatly in large quantities. Can be processed.

In addition, since several rotating brushes are mounted on shafts in parallel, and the shaft centers of the rotating brushes 3 that are arranged in parallel are shifted by 1/2 pitch, it is possible to cleanly remove dirt from the gaps between the brushes. I can do it.

In this case, root vegetables such as burdock, which are continuously fed from the input port without the need for troublesome adjustments depending on the size and length of the root vegetables, are sandwiched between a rotating conveyor roll and a corrugated plate brush, and rotated to the bottom of the rotating brush. By doing so, it is possible to efficiently remove a large amount of mud and hair roots in an extremely short period of time, polish and continuously discharge them, which has an excellent effect that contributes to labor saving in removing soil from burdock, etc. In addition, since the upper rotating brush has flexible bristles, the tips of the bristles can touch the curved insides of root vegetables, concave areas, and extremely fine surfaces, removing hair roots and mud, and also performing a polishing action. It is highly effective in completely polishing the surface of even deformed and irregular objects.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A rotary conveyance roll 2 whose surface is covered with a buffer 1 is shaft-mounted in parallel on a machine frame 11, and several rotating brushes are arranged in a row so as to face the upper surface of the roll 2 and rotate perpendicularly to the conveyance roll 2. 3 are arranged in parallel, and several of the parallel brushes 3 are arranged so that the rotation direction is different from other interlockingly rotating brushes, and the axes of the brushes arranged in the row are shifted by 1/2 pitch. A corrugated plate brush 4 with a buffer attached between the rotating brushes 3 is attached to the machine frame 11 at the inlet and outlet of the conveyor roll 2.
This automatic burdock soil removing machine is equipped with a mechanism in which a rotary conveyance roll 2 is pressed through an elastic body and the other end is elastically connected to a rotary brush mounting frame.
