Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a rotary blade that rotates inside the tank, which can efficiently wash root vegetables carried into the tank without damaging them, and has excellent durability.

To continuously and automatically wash root vegetables, the root vegetables are introduced into a cylindrical tank placed horizontally through one side of the tank, water is poured into the tank, and the root vegetables are rotated while the water is removed from the other side. It is conceivable to stir the mixture using a blade.

However, this rotating blade needs to be flexible and highly elastic so as not to damage the root vegetables.
Since root vegetables are often covered with sand and dirt that adhere to them during use, they are required to have excellent durability.

In order to meet these requirements, the following rotary blade for a root vegetable washer was devised, and an embodiment thereof will be described below.

That is, along the axial direction of the central shaft 1 to be rotated, a front sheet 2 made of synthetic resin foam with a slightly rough texture on one surface and a back sheet 3 made of synthetic resin foam with a slightly fine texture on the other surface are placed between them. It is formed by attaching a plurality of blades 5 that are adhered to each other via a cloth 4 made of synthetic fibers.

In the examples, Scotto No. 13 or No. 20 manufactured by Bridgestone Tire was used as the top sheet, and urethane foam was used as the back sheet, and the results were good.

To use this, root vegetables are introduced into the horizontally arranged cylindrical tank as described above through the opening in one direction, water is poured into the tank, and while the root vegetables are taken out through the other outlet, the above-mentioned A rotary blade constructed in this way is inserted in the axial direction and rotated to stir and wash the root vegetables.

Of course, the blade 5 may be provided with a large number of cuts 6 in the lateral direction.

If the blades 5 are rotated so that the top sheet 2 made of synthetic resin foam with a slightly coarse mesh comes into contact with the root vegetables, the sand and soil adhering to the root vegetables can be removed well.

This blade 5 is divided into a front sheet and a back sheet, and the reason why the blades are made to have a different mesh can be said to be that they can be rotated with different surfaces depending on the type of root vegetables and dirt, and the mesh can be adjusted. This prevents sand and soil from clogging and accumulating, and since they are bonded to each other through a synthetic fiber cloth, this serves as a core and strengthens the elasticity, preventing it from deforming. It constantly presses root vegetables and exerts an action suitable for cleaning.

As described above, the rotary blade of the root vegetable washer according to this invention can efficiently wash root vegetables without damaging them, and is highly durable and highly practical.
