Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buckwheat noodle processing technology, specifically to a buckwheat soaking device for buckwheat noodle processing. Background Technology

[0002] Buckwheat noodles are a type of staple food made primarily from buckwheat flour. They are a whole grain, rich in nutrients, including dietary fiber, vitamins, and protein. The fiber content is much higher than that of rice and refined pasta, helping to prevent constipation and providing excellent protection for the gastrointestinal tract. The processing of buckwheat noodles requires soaking the buckwheat.

[0003] Currently, most existing buckwheat soaking devices for buckwheat noodle processing use a direct soaking method, which involves dumping a large amount of buckwheat into a container and then adding water. This method has several drawbacks, such as low soaking efficiency. Buckwheat is lightweight, and in the initial soaking stage, its internal water content is low, causing a large amount of buckwheat to float on the surface, resulting in unsatisfactory soaking and requiring a longer soaking time to allow the buckwheat to absorb sufficient water. Furthermore, if the device is not highly automated, the buckwheat will sink to the bottom of the container after absorbing a certain amount of water. After draining the excess water, manual removal of the soaked buckwheat is still required, increasing labor costs and adding uncertainty to the production process.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a buckwheat soaking device for buckwheat noodle processing that can solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a buckwheat soaking device for buckwheat noodle processing, which solves the problems of low soaking efficiency, prolonged soaking time, and difficulty in removing the soaked buckwheat in existing buckwheat noodle soaking devices.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a buckwheat soaking device for buckwheat noodle processing, comprising a soaking tank, a pair of support plates fixed to the inner wall of the soaking tank, a storage box installed at the top of the support plates, the outer wall of the storage box fitting against the inner wall of the soaking tank, a mesh plate processed at the bottom of the storage box, supports fixed to both side walls of the soaking tank, a connecting mechanism installed at the top of the supports, and a conveying mechanism installed at the bottom of the soaking tank; the mesh size is designed according to actual needs, and an openable door structure can also be designed in the middle of the bottom of the mesh plate to discharge the buckwheat in the storage box, thereby simplifying the process.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a vertical plate fixed to the top of a pair of supports, and a first roller is rotatably connected to the groove at the top of the vertical plate. A first connecting rope is provided at the guide groove of the first roller. A connecting block is fixed to one end of the first connecting rope, and a winding assembly is installed at the other end of the first connecting rope. A pair of second connecting ropes are fixed to the bottom end of the connecting block, and a hook is fixed to the bottom end of the second connecting rope. A first lifting ring is hooked onto the hook. A counterweight plate is fixed to the bottom end of several first lifting rings, and several water-permeable holes are machined on the counterweight plate. The counterweight plate can increase the stability of the storage box during the initial soaking stage, preventing the buckwheat from floating on the water surface due to its light weight, which would result in an unsatisfactory soaking effect. The design of the water-permeable holes allows the soaking water to flow freely, ensuring that the buckwheat can absorb water evenly.

[0008] Preferably, the winding assembly includes a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the support. The output end of the first motor is connected to a second roller via a coupling. The roller shaft of the second roller away from the first motor is rotatably connected to the side wall of the vertical plate. The first connecting rope is wound around the outer wall of the second roller. By rotating the first motor in both directions, the rotation direction of the second roller can be controlled, thereby realizing the winding and unwinding of the first connecting rope. This design makes the lifting and lowering operation of the counterweight plate simple and automated, without the need for manual intervention, thus improving production efficiency. At the same time, the second roller can also be designed to be longitudinal. The first connecting rope and the second connecting rope can be made of steel wire rope or other materials.

[0009] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying auger rotatably connected to the lower interior of the soaking tank via a sealed bearing. A second motor is connected to the outer shaft of the conveying auger via a coupling, and the base of the second motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the soaking tank. A maintenance sealing plate is provided below the rear end face of the soaking tank at a location corresponding to the conveying auger. The design of the conveying auger allows fine impurities and residues in the buckwheat to be automatically discharged from the soaking tank. The second motor provides power to the conveying auger, ensuring its stable operation. The maintenance sealing plate facilitates the cleaning, maintenance, and repair of the conveying auger, thereby improving the overall service life of the device.

[0010] Preferably, a drain pipe is connected to the lower side wall of the soaking tank; a valve is installed on the drain pipe, which can be manual or automatic.

[0011] Preferably, a pair of second lifting rings are fixed to both sides of the top of the storage box.

[0012] Preferably, the front surface of the soaking tank is machined with an observation window.

[0013] Preferably, the interior of the soaking tank is machined into an inverted convex shape, and the bottom cavity of the soaking tank is adapted to the conveying auger. The inverted convex design makes more rational use of the internal space of the soaking tank. The adaptation of the bottom cavity to the conveying auger ensures that the conveying auger can smoothly discharge the soaked buckwheat impurities and residues, avoiding blockage and improving the stability and reliability of the device. At the same time, this design also facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the soaking tank, extending the service life of the device. In practical applications, users can adjust the size and shape of the soaking tank as needed to adapt to the buckwheat flour processing needs of different scales.

[0014] Beneficial effects This utility model provides a buckwheat soaking device for buckwheat noodle processing, which has the following beneficial effects: By incorporating a counterweight plate and a winding assembly, the problem of buckwheat floating on the water surface during the initial soaking stage due to its light weight is effectively solved, improving soaking efficiency and shortening soaking time. The permeable holes on the counterweight plate ensure that the buckwheat can absorb water evenly, further enhancing the soaking effect. Secondly, the addition of a conveying mechanism allows impurities and residues to be automatically discharged after soaking, maintaining the cleanliness of the device's interior. Furthermore, the second lifting ring at the top of the storage box facilitates its hoisting and movement. Combined with external forklifts or handling equipment, the storage box can be removed for subsequent processing of the buckwheat inside. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the buckwheat, reducing labor costs and uncertainties in the production process. The inverted convex design of the soaking box not only makes reasonable use of internal space but also ensures smooth operation of the conveyor auger, preventing blockages and improving the stability and reliability of the device. Therefore, this device is compact, easy to operate, and highly automated, effectively improving the soaking efficiency and quality of buckwheat during buckwheat noodle processing.

The first connecting rope 8 is wound around the outer wall of the second roller 14. By rotating the first motor 15 in both directions, the rotation direction of the second roller 14 can be controlled, thereby enabling the winding and unwinding of the first connecting rope 8.

Meanwhile, the second roller 14 can also be designed to be longitudinal, and the first connecting rope 8 and the second connecting rope 10 can be made of steel wire rope or other materials.

[0024] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying auger 16 that is rotatably connected to the lower part of the soaking tank 1 via a sealed bearing. A second motor 17 is connected to the outer shaft of the conveying auger 16 via a coupling, and the base of the second motor 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the soaking tank 1. A maintenance sealing plate is provided at the lower part of the rear end face of the soaking tank 1 corresponding to the conveying auger 16.

[0029] It is worth noting that all standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregularly shaped parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part all adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature technologies in the prior art. The models of electrical structures and equipment involved can be selected according to the user's needs, as long as they meet the requirements of this application. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art. The supporting electrical structures such as the control, current detection, position feedback, predictive voltage synchronization, and parameter adjustment of the electrical equipment are all existing technologies, such as PLC controllers and module structures, so they will not be described in detail here. All contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] Those skilled in the art can connect the components in this case sequentially. The specific connection and operation sequence should refer to the working principle described below. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in the field. The working principle and process are mainly described below.

[0031] Example: When this device is needed, assemble the components according to the diagram, ensuring bolts are tightened and welds are secure. Then connect the circuit and control devices, check all interfaces for errors, and power on for testing to ensure current detection, position feedback, and other functions are normal. Install the control devices in appropriate positions. Before operation, clean all structures. Initially, the counterweight plate 13 is at its highest position or not installed on the hook 11. At this time, pour the buckwheat to be soaked into the storage tank 3, and add a certain amount of water according to the ratio. During this stage, the water and buckwheat should not exceed the highest position of the storage tank 3. Then, the first motor 15 is started. The first motor 15 drives the second roller 14 to rotate, unwinding the first connecting rope 8. The first connecting rope 8, together with the first roller 7, drives the connecting block 9 to move downward, so that the connecting block 9 drives the second connecting rope 10 and the hook 11 to move downward. In this way, the hook 11 can drive the counterweight plate 13 to move downward through the first lifting ring 12. Thus, the counterweight plate 13 presses on the buckwheat in the storage box 3. Excess water flows out from the water-permeable holes of the counterweight plate 13, so that the buckwheat can be fully immersed in the water and will not float on the water surface, thereby improving the soaking efficiency and shortening the soaking time. After soaking for a period of time, the buckwheat absorbs enough water. At this point, the first motor 15 reverses, causing the counterweight plate 13 to rise to the designated height. The counterweight plate 13 is then removed, and the hook 11 is connected to the second lifting ring 19. The valve of the drain pipe 18 is opened, and the second motor 17 is started simultaneously. The second motor 17 drives the conveyor auger 16 to rotate, which drains the water at the bottom of the soaking tank 1 through the drain pipe 18. Meanwhile, since the bottom of the storage tank 3 is equipped with a mesh plate 4, small impurities and debris generated during soaking can fall into the bottom of the soaking tank 1 through the mesh plate 4 and be discharged with the water through the drain pipe 18, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the buckwheat. Afterward, the first motor 15 and other motors move the storage tank 3 out of the soaking tank. After draining, the forklift or handling equipment is moved to the bottom of the storage tank 3, and the hook 11 is separated from the second lifting ring 19, allowing the storage tank 3 to be removed for further processing of the buckwheat inside. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the buckwheat, reducing labor costs and uncertainties in the production process.
