Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of starch production technology, and in particular to a hydrocyclone for potato starch production. Background Technology
[0002] Starch production refers to the industrial sector that processes and produces starch as the main raw material. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of multiple glucose molecules and is widely found in plants such as corn, wheat, and potatoes. The starch industry mainly involves the extraction, processing, and application of starch. Starch can be used in many fields such as food processing, industrial production, and feed additives, and has broad application prospects. Furthermore, starch is a renewable biomass resource that can be obtained through plant cultivation and extraction, thus exhibiting characteristics of sustainable development.
[0003] In the process of potato starch production and processing, the prepared starch solution needs to be filtered. When filtering the starch solution, multiple layers of filter cloth or filter screen are often used. During this process, a small number of particles will still remain in the starch solution. To address this problem, we propose a hydrocyclone for potato starch production. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hydrocyclone for potato starch production to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A hydrocyclone for potato starch production includes a base plate, four support columns connected to the outer surface of the base plate, a fixing ring connected to the top of the four support columns, a separation cylinder inside the fixing ring, a sludge outlet pipe connected to the outer surface of the separation cylinder, a pneumatic pulse valve inside the sludge outlet pipe, a conveying mechanism connected to the outer surface of the base plate, a guide pipe connected to the outer surface of the separation cylinder, a limit ring connected to the outer surface of the guide pipe, and the outer surface of the limit ring connected to the outer surface of the fixing ring.
[0007] In a further embodiment, a collection box is connected to the outer surface of the base plate, a collection pipe is connected to the outer surface of the collection box, and a drawer is provided inside the collection pipe.
[0008] In a further embodiment, a waste residue box is connected to the outer surface of the base plate, and two protective doors are movably hinged to the outer surface of the waste residue box via hinges.
[0009] In a further embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes four lifting columns and a starch cyclone pump, with a pre-storage tank connected to the top of the four lifting columns.
[0010] In a further embodiment, the input end of the starch hydrocyclone pump is connected to a feed pipe, and the end of the feed pipe away from the starch hydrocyclone pump is connected to the interior of the pre-storage tank.
[0011] In a further embodiment, the output end of the starch hydrocyclone pump is connected to a discharge pipe, which is connected to the interior of the separation cylinder.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This device utilizes a pre-storage tank for easy pouring of prepared starch solution. A starch hydrocyclone pump draws the starch solution from the pre-storage tank into the discharge pipe, which then transports the extracted starch solution to the separation cylinder. The separation cylinder allows the high-speed starch solution to rotate along its inner wall, generating centrifugal force. This force throws larger particles or heavier objects to the waste outlet pipe. A pneumatic pulse valve prevents blockage in the waste outlet pipe and facilitates the removal of debris. A guide pipe allows the separated solution to be discharged, and a collection tank facilitates the collection of the separated solution. Attached Figure Description

A fixing ring 3 is connected to the top of each of the four support columns 2. A separation cylinder 4 is located inside the fixing ring 3. A wastewater discharge pipe 5 is connected to the outer surface of the separation cylinder 4. A pneumatic pulse valve 6 is located inside the wastewater discharge pipe 5. A conveying mechanism 7 is connected to the outer surface of the base plate 1. The conveying mechanism 7 includes four lifting columns 701 and a starch hydrocyclone pump 702. The tops of the four lifting columns 701 are connected to... The starch hydrocyclone pump 702 is connected to a pre-storage tank 703. The input end of the starch hydrocyclone pump 702 is connected to a feed pipe 704. The end of the feed pipe 704 away from the starch hydrocyclone pump 702 is connected to the inside of the pre-storage tank 703. The output end of the starch hydrocyclone pump 702 is connected to a discharge pipe 705. The discharge pipe 705 is connected to the inside of the separation cylinder 4. The waste pipe 5 can help the workers to discharge the debris thrown off from the inside of the separation cylinder 4. The pneumatic pulse valve 6 can intermittently spray compressed air to prevent impurities from clogging the waste pipe 5.
[0023] The outer surface of the separation cylinder 4 is connected to a guide pipe 8, and the outer surface of the guide pipe 8 is connected to a limit ring 9. The outer surface of the limit ring 9 is connected to the outer surface of the fixing ring 3.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0025] When using this device, first pour the starch solution into the pre-storage tank 703, then start the starch hydrocyclone pump 702. At this time, the starch hydrocyclone pump 702 will draw the starch solution into the discharge pipe 705 through the feed pipe 704. The starch solution will enter the separation cylinder 4 at high speed through the discharge pipe 705. At this time, the starch solution will rotate at high speed in the separation cylinder 4. The centrifugal force generated by the high speed rotation will throw out larger or heavier particles in the starch solution. The thrown-out debris will fall into the sewage outlet pipe 5 due to the centrifugal force. Then, the staff can open the sewage outlet pipe 5 to discharge the debris into the separation cylinder 4. The separated starch solution will be transferred to the guide pipe 8 due to the air pressure in the separation cylinder 4, and then flow into the collection box 10 through the guide pipe 8. When the staff needs to release the separated starch solution, use the pull plate 12 to open the collection pipe 11, and open the protective door 14 to remove the debris from the waste residue box 13.
