Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corn processing equipment technology, specifically to a corn kernel washing device for corn juice processing. Background Technology

[0002] Corn juice is a nutritious and health-promoting beverage made primarily from corn. It has a simple production process, low cost, and a refreshing and delicious flavor, making it suitable for people of all ages and genders. It has great market potential. Fresh corn needs to be threshed after harvesting. After threshing, the kernels are poured into water. Plump corn kernels will sink into the water, while corn kernels that have been worm-eaten will float on the surface. The corn kernels in the water are then removed and prepared for juicing.

[0003] Currently, because fresh corn kernels are relatively soft, rubbing them can cause them to break, making them more susceptible to the accumulation of impurities and nutrient loss. As a result, existing methods only involve simple washing and screening before juicing. This means that contaminants such as dust that fell off during harvesting or adhered during transportation can only be partially dissolved by soaking; the remaining contaminants cannot be removed. Furthermore, the small size of the corn kernels makes it difficult for staff to observe contaminated kernels during juicing. If these contaminated kernels are mixed into the next juicing process, it will affect the quality of the finished product and could even lead to serious hygiene incidents, impacting the quality of the entire batch. This method no longer meets the required standards. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] Please see Figure 1-9 A corn kernel washing device for corn juice processing includes a corn washing tank 1 for washing corn kernels after initial threshing and impurity removal. The corn washing tank 1 includes a washing plate 11 and a receiving seat 12 disposed on the washing plate 11. The washing plate 11 is provided with a grid plate 13 inside, and the grid plate 13 is provided with at least one grid. Brush bristles 14 are provided on all four sides of the inner wall of the grid, and a circular cavity 15 is provided between the brush bristles 14 on the four sides.

[0036] The driving mechanism 2 is used to cooperate with the cleaning plate 11 to clean the corn kernels. The driving mechanism 2 includes a driving head 21 and a brush plate 22 movably disposed at the bottom of the driving head 21. The bottom of the brush plate 22 is provided with brush cotton 221 for cleaning the corn kernels. The brush plate 22 is provided with at least one feeding cylinder 23 for conveying the corn kernels to be cleaned to the grid plate 13. The bottom of the feeding cylinder 23 is provided with a cover plate 231 and a connecting rod 233 is provided on the cover plate 231. The brush plate 22 is provided with an electric push rod for driving the connecting rod 233 and a connecting rod 224 extending into the drive head 21 at one end.

[0037] The drive head 21 has a transmission rod 24 inside, and a waist-shaped disc 25 is movably sleeved on the outside of the transmission rod 24. Connector 1 251 and connector 252 are respectively provided at both ends of the waist-shaped disc 25, and springs are provided at the opposite ends of connector 1 251 and connector 252. The drive head 21 has positioning rod 1 26 and positioning rod 27 located on both sides of the transmission rod 24. Positioning rod 1 26 and positioning rod 27 pass through the interiors of connector 252 and connector 1 251, respectively. Positioning rod 27 has at least one driving protrusion 271 evenly spaced on it, and one of the driving protrusions 271 slides against one side of the inner wall of connector 1 251. The drive head 21 descends by the height of a drive protrusion 271, and the connecting head 251 is pushed back by the spring between two adjacent drive protrusions 271. At the same time, it drives the waist-shaped disk 25 to move horizontally to one side. The bottom of the waist-shaped disk 25 is fixedly provided with a transmission plate 257 located outside the transmission rod 24. The bottom of the transmission plate 257 is provided with a transmission head 28, which is movably connected to the linkage head 281 by a spring. One end of the linkage head 281 extends into the interior of the connecting rod 224 so that when the transmission plate 257 moves horizontally with the waist-shaped disk 25, the linkage head 281 drives the brush plate 22 to move horizontally through the connecting rod 224.

[0038] The collection component 3 is used to collect the washed corn kernels and the water generated during the washing process. The collection component 3 includes a water tank 31 movably disposed at the bottom of the receiving seat 12. The water tank 31 has a receiving net 34 movably disposed inside for collecting the corn kernels. The water tank 31 also has a pipe rack 391 located between the receiving net 34 and the grid plate 13, and the bottom of the pipe rack 391 has at least one nozzle 392.

[0039] The power unit 4 is used to drive the transmission rod 24 to realize the lifting and lowering movement of the transmission rod 24.

[0040] The feeding box 5 is used to hold corn kernels to be washed. The feeding box 5 is located on the top of the support base. The bottom of the feeding box 5 is provided with at least one feeding pipe 53 that is connected to the feeding cylinder 23.

[0041] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the drive head 21 has a drive cavity 211 located outside the transmission rod 24 and a movable cavity 212 located at the top of the drive cavity 211. The waist-shaped disk 25 is movably disposed inside the movable cavity 212. The inner walls of the movable cavity 212 are respectively provided with a first reset cavity 213 and a second reset cavity 214. One end of the second connector 252 is provided with a first reset rod 253 extending into the first reset cavity 213. A spring is movably sleeved on the first reset rod 253.

[0042] One end of the connector 251 is provided with a reset rod 254 extending into the reset cavity 214. A limiting rod 255, fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reset cavity 214, is movably disposed inside the reset rod 254. A spring is provided on the limiting rod 255. An oblong disc 25 has an oblong hole that engages with the outside of the transmission rod 24, providing sufficient space for horizontal movement of the oblong disc 25 outside the transmission rod 24. The springs on the opposite ends of the connectors 251 and 252 are respectively fitted onto the limiting rod 255 and the reset rod 253, both initially in a compressed state. (See reference...) Figure 6 When the drive head 21 descends, it causes the first connector 251 and the second connector 252 to descend as well. The first connector 251 slides into contact with the drive protrusion 271 and moves between two adjacent drive protrusions 271 as it descends. This causes the first connector 251 to move horizontally due to the spring rebound at one end of its head and the other end of the second connector 252. The first connector 251 drives the waist-shaped disc 25 to move horizontally to one side. The waist-shaped disc 25 drives the transmission plate 257, the transmission head 28, and the linkage head 281 to move. This causes the linkage head 281 to drive the connecting rod 224 and the brush plate 22 to move. When the first connector 251 moves horizontally, it drives the waist-shaped disc 25 and the second connector 252 to move horizontally. Simultaneously, 51 drives the second reset rod 254 to slide on the limit rod 255, effectively ensuring the stability of the first connector 251 during movement, making it easier for the second reset rod 254 to compress the spring again without getting stuck. The second reset rod 254 is T-shaped and continues to move into the first reset cavity 213 due to the spring's rebound. The transmission plate 257 drives the transmission head 28 and the linkage head 281 to move along with the waist-shaped disc 25, thereby causing the linkage head 281 to drive the brush plate 22 to move horizontally through the connecting rod 224. When the first connector 251 contacts the drive protrusion 271 again, the first connector 251 drives the waist-shaped disc 25 to reset, realizing the reciprocating motion of the waist-shaped disc 25.

[0043] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the inner wall of the connector 251 is arc-shaped on the side that abuts against the driving protrusion 271, and pulleys 256 are provided at the top and bottom of the arc. A stabilizing cavity 215 located at the bottom of the transmission rod 24 is formed inside the driving head 21. The cross-section of the transmission plate 257 is U-shaped, and the bottom of the transmission plate 257 is movably sleeved inside the stabilizing cavity 215. A sliding rod 216 that is slidably sleeved with the transmission plate 257 is fixedly arranged inside the stabilizing cavity 215. A connecting cavity 218 is formed at the bottom of the driving head 21, and the connecting cavity 218 is Z-shaped. The connecting rod 224 is L-shaped. (See reference...) Figure 7 The stabilizing cavity 215 is connected to the driving cavity 211. The transmission plate 257 is U-shaped and movably disposed inside the stabilizing cavity 215. Its two ends extend into the driving cavity 211 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the waist-shaped disk 25, allowing the waist-shaped disk 25 to move horizontally. The slide rod 216 ensures the stability of the transmission plate 257 during sliding. The Z-shaped connecting cavity 218 facilitates connection with the connecting rod 224. The head 28 and the linkage head 281 extend into one end of the Z-shaped connecting cavity 218, while the connecting rod 224 is inserted into the other end of the Z-shaped connecting cavity 218. The operation is simple and quick. The pulley 256 makes the initial contact between the pulley 256 and the drive protrusion 271 smoother and prevents jamming. This makes it easier for the connecting head 251 to be lifted by the drive protrusion 271 for horizontal movement, thereby making the brush plate 22 move more smoothly and ensuring the efficiency of the corn kernel output.

[0044] As a specific technical solution of this embodiment, the transmission head 28 has through holes 1 on both sides that communicate with its interior. The linkage head 281 has through holes 2 with the same height as through holes 1 inside. The top surface of the inner wall of through hole 2 is provided with an arc-shaped portion 282. The bottom surface of the inner wall of through hole 1 and the arc-shaped portion 282 are provided with guide wheels. The drive head 21 has a control rod 29 that is movably mounted inside by a spring. One end of the control rod 29 extends through through holes 1 and 2 to the outside of the drive head 21 and is fitted with a handle. The control rod 29 has a beveled portion 291. The sum of the heights of the beveled portion 291 and the control rod 29 is less than the height of through hole 1, so that when the control rod 29 moves, the beveled portion 291 abuts against the arc-shaped portion 282. The guide wheels on through holes 1 and 2 are slidably connected to the bottom and top of the control rod 29, respectively. Figure 7The control lever 29 passes through the interior of through holes one and two. By pulling the control lever 29, the inclined side 291 abuts against the arc-shaped part 282, causing the arc-shaped part 282 to drive the linkage head 281 upward. The linkage head 281 disengages from the interior of the connecting rod 224, allowing the brush plate 22 to move horizontally and disengage the connecting rod 224 from below. Finally, the brush plate 22 moves downward to disengage from the interior of the connecting cavity 218. The guide wheel effectively reduces wear between through holes one and two and the control lever 29. The arc-shaped part 282, in conjunction with the inclined side 291, makes it easier for the linkage head 281 to be driven by the contact of the inclined side 291. The upward movement is simple and quick to operate. A spring is provided on one end of the control lever 29 that extends into the drive head 21. When the control lever 29 is pulled, the control lever 29 stretches the spring. When the control lever 29 is released, the spring rebounds and contracts, causing the control lever 29 to move into the drive head 21. This automatically causes the inclined side 291 to disengage from the arc-shaped part 282. When the arc-shaped part 282 is resisted by the inclined side 291, it causes the linkage head 281 to rise and compress the spring inside the transmission head 28. When the arc-shaped part 282 disengages from the inclined side 291, the linkage head 281 is resisted by the spring inside the transmission head 28 and quickly descends to insert into the connecting rod 224.

[0045] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, the bottom of the feeding cylinder 23 and the cover plate 231 are jointly provided with auxiliary cotton 232. The cover plate 231 is hinged to the bottom of the feeding cylinder 23, the bottom end of the connecting rod 233 is hinged to the top of the cover plate 231, and the top end of the connecting rod 233 is hinged to a drive rod 234. One end of the drive rod 234 extends through to the outside of the feeding cylinder 23 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod. The top of the brush plate 22 is fixedly provided with a stabilizing column 222 that is movably sleeved inside the drive rod 234. A hole is opened on one side of the feeding cylinder 23, and a protective pad 235 that is fixedly sleeved inside the hole and fixedly sleeved on the surface of the drive rod 234 is installed inside the hole. The auxiliary cotton 232 is provided to cooperate with the brush cotton 221 to clean the corn kernels, and the auxiliary cotton 232 can prevent the cover plate 231 and the bottom of the feeding cylinder 23 from directly contacting the corn kernels. When the kernels come into contact with the grid plate 13, they may be squeezed and sheared, causing damage. The auxiliary cotton 232 shields the bottom of the cover plate 231 and the feeding cylinder 23, effectively preventing this from happening, reducing the defect rate of corn kernels, and ensuring the efficiency of the corn kernel juicing process. Since the drive rods 234 inside the multiple feeding cylinders 23 are all connected to the output end of the electric push rod, the setting of the stabilizing column 222 allows the drive rods 234, which are far apart, to maintain stable up-and-down movement with the output end of the electric push rod. This allows the cover plates 231 inside the multiple feeding cylinders 23 to open simultaneously for feeding, ensuring feeding efficiency. The protective pad 235 is used to shield the position where the drive rod 234 enters the feeding cylinder 23, preventing external dust from entering the interior of the feeding cylinder 23 through this point, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning, and does not affect the up-and-down movement of the drive rod 234.

[0046] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, a stabilizing rod 223 is provided on the top of the brush plate 22, and a slot is provided on one side of the drive head 21. One end of the stabilizing rod 223 extends into the interior of the slot. At least one marking groove 261 is provided on the positioning rod 26, and the distance between two adjacent marking grooves 261 is the same as the distance between two adjacent drive protrusions 271. A marking rod 217 is fixedly provided on the top of the drive head 21, with one end facing one of the marking grooves 261. The purpose of the stabilizing rod 223 is to increase the connection stability between the brush plate 22 and the drive head 21. In use, when the stabilizing rod 223 and the connecting rod 224 need to be installed, both the stabilizing rod 223 and the connecting rod 224 are L-shaped. The connecting rod 224 is moved to face the connecting cavity 218. First, the control rod 29 is pulled to drive the linkage head 281 upward. After moving upward to push the connecting rod 224 into the interior of the connecting cavity 218, the brush plate 22 is moved horizontally. This causes the brush plate 22 to drive the connecting rod 224 to insert into the stepped part of the Z-shaped connecting cavity 218. At the same time, the stabilizing rod 223 is also inserted into the slot. After the connecting rod 224 and the connecting cavity 218 are assembled, the control rod 29 is released, causing the linkage head 281 to be pushed down by the spring and inserted into the connecting rod 224, completing the transmission connection between the linkage head 281 and the connecting rod 224. Since the transmission head 28 is located inside the drive head 21, it is inconvenient for the user to observe its position. In order to facilitate the connection of the connecting rod 224 with it, an indicator slot 261 is set. When the connecting head 251 abuts against the drive protrusion 271, the transmission head 28 and the linkage head 281 are close to the left side of the connecting cavity 218 and can be directly inserted into the connecting cavity 218. When the connecting head 251 abuts against the drive protrusion 271, the indicator rod 217 and the indicator slot 261 are also set opposite each other, so that the user only needs to observe the indicator slot 261 and the indicator rod 217. The operation is simple and quick, ensuring assembly efficiency.

[0047] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, the top of the grid plate 13 is arc-shaped, and the bottom of the receiving seat 12 is conical. The receiving seat 12 is movably mounted on the top of the water tank 31 through the conical part at the bottom. A sealing gasket is provided at the connection between the top of the water tank 31 and the receiving seat 12. A connecting frame 39 is movably mounted inside the water tank 31. A pipe frame 391 is fixedly mounted inside the connecting frame 39. A water inlet pipe is provided on the pipe frame 391, and one end of the water inlet pipe extends to the outside of the water tank 31. A locking block 36 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the water tank 31. The bottom and top of the connecting frame 39 abut against the top of the locking block 36 and the bottom of the cleaning plate 11, respectively. The conical bottom of the receiving seat 12 facilitates mounting on the top of the water tank 31. The sealing gaskets between the receiving seats 12 effectively ensure the stability and sealing between the receiving seats 12 and the water tank 31. The top and bottom of the connecting frame 39 are limited by the cleaning plate 11 and the locking block 36 respectively. The stability of the pipe rack 391 can be ensured without setting an additional locking structure. After the receiving seats 12 are removed from the water tank 31, the connecting frame 39 can be directly removed from the inside of the water tank 31. The operation is simple and quick. The components are easy to disassemble, clean and maintain. The assembly process is fast and ensures the efficiency of later maintenance. Water is connected to the pipe rack 391 through the water inlet pipe. The nozzles 392 on the pipe rack 391 spray the corn kernels brushed by the bristles 14, so that the dust on the corn kernels is washed away and falls into the water tank 31. The pipe rack 391 is the same shape as the grid plate 13 and will not block the corn kernels from falling.

[0048] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, the collecting component 3 further includes a support platform 32 disposed on one side of the water tank 31. A surrounding plate 33 is movably disposed inside the water tank 31. The receiving net 34 is fixedly disposed inside the surrounding plate 33. There are at least two surrounding plates 33, with one of the surrounding plates 33 movably disposed on the support platform 32. A connecting block 37 and a connecting plate 38 are respectively disposed at both ends of the surrounding plate 33. The connecting plate 38 is L-shaped. A groove is formed inside the connecting block 37. The connecting plate 38 between the two surrounding plates 33 is movably inserted into the connecting block 37 to allow the surrounding plate inside the water tank 31 to... When panel 33 is pulled out, it pulls another panel 33 into the water tank 31. The support platform 32 holds the panel 33 to be used. After the receiving net 34 in the panel 33 inside the water tank 31 has finished receiving the corn kernels, the panel 33 is pulled out of the water tank 31. Simultaneously, the panel 33, through the connecting block 37 and connecting plate 38, pulls the panel 33 on the support platform 32 into the water tank 31 for use. After the user removes the corn kernels, the panel 33 can be connected to the panel 33 inside the water tank 31 through the connecting block 37 and connecting plate 38 for reuse, effectively ensuring processing efficiency. (See reference...) Figure 3A waterproof pad is provided at the connection between the water tank 31 and the enclosure 33. The waterproof pad can effectively prevent external dust from entering the interior of the water tank 31 from this point. It can also prevent water from splashing onto the outside of the water tank 31 when the nozzle 392 is rinsing the corn kernels. A liquid level sensor 35 is provided on one side of the water tank 31 to detect the water level inside the water tank 31, preventing sewage from floating onto the receiving net 34 and being discharged through the drain outlet provided on one side of the water tank 31.

[0049] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, the power unit 4 includes an L-shaped bracket 41 disposed on one side of the water tank 31. A cylinder 42 is disposed inside one end of the bracket 41, and a drive motor 43 is disposed at the other end. A lead screw extending into the transmission rod 24 is fixedly disposed at the output end of the drive motor 43. The top ends of the first positioning rod 26 and the second positioning rod 27 are both fixedly connected to the bottom of one end of the bracket 41. (See reference...) Figure 1 The bracket 41 is used to support the drive motor 43. When the support seat 12 needs to be disassembled, first remove the feeding box 5, pull the feeding pipe 53 out of the feeding cylinder 23, start the cylinder 42 to drive the bracket 41 to rise, so that the bracket 41 drives the drive motor 43 to rise, and the drive motor 43 drives the brush plate 22 to rise and get away from the support seat, so that the brush plate 22 can be disassembled. After the brush plate 22 is disassembled, the connecting frame 39 can be disassembled. The process is simple and quick. Start the drive motor 43 to drive the lead screw to rotate. The top of the positioning rod 1 26 and the positioning rod 27 are fixedly connected to the bracket 41, which further ensures the stability of the drive head 21. When the lead screw rotates, it can only drive the transmission rod 24 and the drive head 21 to move up and down. The transmission rod 24 and the lead screw form a ball screw pair transmission mechanism. The transmission rod 24 can move up and down with the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw.

[0050] As a specific technical solution in this embodiment, the bottom of the feeding box 5 is provided with at least one support leg 51, and the bottom of the support leg 51 is provided with a groove for movably engaging with the top of the receiving seat 12. The interior of the feeding box 5 is movably provided with at least one baffle rod 52. The discharge pipe 53 is a flexible hose, and the discharge pipe 53 is connected to the discharge cylinder 23 by a movable plug-in connection. The top of the feeding box 5 is provided with a feeding cover. A flexible hose is used as the discharge pipe 53, and a silicone ring is wrapped around the end of the discharge pipe 53 that enters the discharge cylinder 23 to increase friction and prevent the discharge cylinder 23 from easily detaching from the discharge pipe 53. An additional locking structure is required. During disassembly, it can be pulled out directly, allowing the drive head 21 to bend and straighten the feed pipe 53 during lifting and lowering without affecting the conveying of corn kernels. It can also adapt to the horizontal reciprocating motion of the brush plate 22. The support leg 51 and the receiving seat 12 are connected by a movable snap-fit ​​method to facilitate later assembly. To ensure its stability later, bolts can be installed at the support leg 51 to lock it to the receiving seat 12. The turbulence rod 52 is equipped with a spiral feeding rod on a section inside the feed box 5, which can turn the corn kernels inside the feed box 5, increasing their fluidity and preventing the corn kernels from remaining stationary for a long time, thus affecting the feeding efficiency.

[0051] In use, open the feeding cover and pour the corn kernels to be washed into the feeding box 5. The corn kernels enter the lower cylinder through the feeding pipe 53. Connect the water inlet pipe to a pressurized water source. After the water enters the pipe frame 391, it is sprayed out through the nozzle 392. Start the electric push rod to drive multiple drive rods 234 to descend. The drive rods 234 abut against the connecting rod 233. The connecting rod 233 descends, deflects at an angle, and abuts against the cover plate 231 to open, so that the corn kernels inside the feeding cylinder 23 fall onto the cleaning plate 11. Because the top of the grid plate 13 is arc-shaped, the corn kernels pile up on the bristles 14. As the corn kernels fall, they may pile up together. After adding an appropriate amount of corn kernels to the cleaning plate 11, turn off the electric push rod. The electric push rod drives the drive rod 234 to rise. When the cover plate 231 is closed, the drive motor 43 is started to rotate the lead screw. The drive head 21 descends as the lead screw rotates. When the drive head 21 descends, it drives the first connector 251 and the second connector 252 to descend as well. The first connector 251 slides into contact with the drive protrusion 271 and moves between two adjacent drive protrusions 271 as it descends. This causes the first connector 251 to move horizontally due to the springs at one end and the second connector 252. The first connector 251 drives the waist-shaped disk 25 to move horizontally to one side. The waist-shaped disk 25 drives the transmission plate 257, the transmission head 28, and the linkage head 281 to move. This causes the linkage head 281 to drive the connecting rod 224 and the brush plate 22 to move. When the first connector 251 moves horizontally, it drives the waist-shaped disk 25. The connector 251 moves horizontally with the second connector 252, while the first connector 251 simultaneously drives the second reset rod 254 to slide on the limit rod 255. This effectively ensures the stability of the first connector 251 during movement, making it easier for the second reset rod 254 to compress the spring again without getting stuck. The second reset rod 254 is T-shaped and continues to move into the first reset cavity 213 due to the spring's rebound. The transmission plate 257 moves with the waist-shaped disc 25, driving the transmission head 28 and the linkage head 281 to move. This causes the linkage head 281 to drive the brush plate 22 to move horizontally via the connecting rod 224. When the first connector 251 contacts the drive protrusion 271 again, it causes the first connector 251 to drive the waist-shaped disc 25 to reset, realizing the reciprocating motion of the waist-shaped disc 25. The reciprocating motion causes the brush plate 22 to descend while moving left and right. When the brush cotton 221 comes into contact with the piled corn kernels, it rubs left and right to flatten the piled corn kernels. When the brush cotton 221 approaches the cleaning plate 11, it rubs and pushes the corn kernels into contact with the bristles 14, allowing them to enter the cavity 15. This ensures that the corn kernels fully contact the bristles 14 for cleaning. As the corn kernels above continuously enter the interior of the bristles 14, they are squeezed out and fall onto the receiving mesh 34. Water is then introduced into the pipe frame 391 through the water inlet pipe. The nozzles 392 on the pipe frame 391 spray water onto the corn kernels brushed by the bristles 14, washing away any dust on the corn kernels and causing them to fall into the water tank 31. The pipe frame 391 is the same shape as the grid plate 13, so it will not obstruct the descent of the corn kernels.After the receiving net 34 in the enclosure 33 inside the water tank 31 finishes receiving the corn kernels, the enclosure 33 is pulled out of the water tank 31. Simultaneously, the enclosure 33, through the connecting block 37 and connecting plate 38, pulls the enclosure 33 located on the support platform 32 into the water tank 31 for use. After the user removes the corn kernels, the enclosure 33 can be connected to the enclosure 33 inside the water tank 31 through the connecting block 37 and connecting plate 38. For subsequent use, when installing the stabilizing rod 223 and connecting rod 224, both the stabilizing rod 223 and connecting rod 224 are L-shaped. The connecting rod 224 is moved to be opposite the connecting cavity 218. First, the control lever 29 is pulled to raise the linkage head 281. After moving upwards to push the connecting rod 224 into the connecting cavity 218, the brush plate 22 is moved horizontally, causing the brush plate 22 to pull the connecting rod 224 into the Z-shaped connecting cavity 218. At step 18, the stabilizing rod 223 is also inserted into the slot. After the connecting rod 224 and the connecting cavity 218 are assembled, the control rod 29 is released, causing the linkage head 281 to be pushed down by the spring and inserted into the connecting rod 224, completing the transmission connection between the linkage head 281 and the connecting rod 224. Conversely, the brush plate 22 can be disassembled. The bracket 41 is used to support the drive motor 43. When the receiving seat 12 needs to be disassembled, first remove the feeding box 5, pull the feeding pipe 53 out from the inside of the feeding cylinder 23, start the cylinder 42 to drive the bracket 41 to rise, so that the bracket 41 drives the drive motor 43 to rise, and the drive motor 43 drives the brush plate 22 to rise and disengage from the inside of the receiving seat, so that the brush plate 22 can be disassembled. After the brush plate 22 is disassembled, the connecting frame 39 can be disassembled. The process is simple and quick, and the operation of the device is completed through the above.

[0052] In summary, this corn kernel cleaning device for corn juicing, by setting up a corn cleaning tank 1, a drive mechanism 2, a collection component 3, a power unit 4, and a feeding box 5, compared with conventional corn kernel cleaning methods, uses a brush 221 that moves horizontally and reciprocally while descending to rub the corn kernels into the cavity 15. By continuously feeding the corn kernels into the cavity 15, the corn kernels are fully in contact with the brush bristles 14 inside the cavity 15, and after cleaning, they are washed. This can effectively remove stubborn contaminants from the surface of the corn kernels and ensure the quality of the finished product in the juicing process.
