Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mung bean soaking equipment structures, and particularly to a mung bean soaking equipment and its soaking method. Background Technique

[0002] Mung bean soaking equipment is mainly used for the soaking process of mung beans and is applicable to food processing factories, the catering industry, and household use. In food processing factories, the soaking device is part of the mung bean processing production line and is used to soften mung beans for subsequent crushing and grinding. In the catering industry and households, the soaking device is used to prepare mung bean ingredients.

[0003] A mung bean screening and rotating seed soaking device with the publication number CN206226950U belongs to the field of mung bean sprouting. This device includes a water collection pool. The upper end of the water collection pool has a sub-packaging pool, and the bottom of the sub-packaging pool has several water passing holes. Above the water collection pool, there is a rotating motor. The motor shaft of the rotating motor is rotationally connected to an outer cover, and the outer cover is connected to the sub-packaging pool. One end of the motor shaft is located inside the outer cover and is connected to several stirring bars. The upper end of the outer cover is connected to a vertically arranged feeding pipe, and the lower end of the feeding pipe communicates with the outer cover. The lower end of the outer cover is connected to a vertically arranged feeding pipe, and the upper end of the feeding pipe communicates with the outer cover. There is an electromagnetic valve on the feeding pipe. The seed soaking device also includes a water pump. The water pump has a water suction pipe and a water outlet pipe. One end of the water suction pipe communicates with the water pump, and the other end of the water suction pipe is located at the bottom inside the water collection pool. One end of the water outlet pipe communicates with the water pump, and the other end of the water outlet pipe communicates with the feeding pipe. This device has a high soaking efficiency and is convenient for sub-packaging mung beans.

[0004] In the existing mung bean soaking, in order to improve the soaking efficiency of mung beans, methods such as stirring and dropping a reaction agent for accelerating the soaking efficiency are adopted, and then stirring is carried out by manual stirring or by driving a stirring member to rotate electrically. Although this method improves the soaking efficiency, during the rotation of the stirring member, the stirring rod directly touches the mung beans soaked in clear water, which is likely to cause damage to the mung beans.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a mung bean soaking equipment and its soaking method. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a mung bean soaking equipment to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a mung bean soaking equipment, including a soaking tank and a matching plate located inside the soaking tank. The bottom of the soaking tank is fixedly connected to a fixed cylinder. An activity rod passing through the matching plate is arranged through the fixed cylinder. A convex block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the activity rod. An activity plate is rotationally connected to the middle of the activity rod. An elastic member is arranged between the activity plate and the matching plate;

[0008] It further includes: a power member for driving the fitting plate to move. A rotating rod with one end in an inclined shape is provided in the middle of the power member. A rotating groove for cooperating with the rotating rod is formed at the top of the movable rod. The rotating rod is rotated by the power member, so that the movable rod makes a reciprocating rotation;

[0009] A plurality of through holes are provided through the fixed cylinder to allow the clear water to impact and move.

[0010] Furthermore, a dumping groove is formed on the movable plate, and two limiting disks for cooperating with the movable plate are fixedly connected to the middle of the movable rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic member includes a first spring hung between the fitting plate and the movable plate. A limiting rod penetrating the movable plate is fixedly connected to the fitting plate. A second spring is movably wound around the outer surface of the limiting rod, and both ends of the second spring are connected to the limiting rod and the movable plate respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, a first sleeve for sleeving the first spring and a second sleeve for sleeving the second spring are respectively fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the second sleeve sleeved the limiting rod.

[0013] Furthermore, a through hole is formed at the bottom of the second sleeve to further move the clear water, so that the flow rate of the clear water becomes faster, thereby turning the mung beans.

[0014] Furthermore, a piston block that moves in the fixed cylinder is rotatably connected to the bottom of the movable rod, and the bottom of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the soaking tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the power member includes a motor fixedly connected to the soaking tank. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected with a rotating plate, the end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected with the rotating rod, and a connecting plate is rotatably connected to the rotating rod. The middle of the connecting plate is rotatably connected to the fitting plate.

[0016] Furthermore, an elastic plate that is in pressing cooperation with the movable plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate. On the one hand, the elastic plate shakes the clear water, and the shaken clear water makes the mung beans turn and move. On the other hand, the elastic plate acts on the movable plate to increase the shaking efficiency of the movable plate.

[0017] An immersion method for a mung bean immersion device. According to the above-mentioned mung bean immersion device, the specific immersion method includes the following steps;

[0018] S1. Pour the washed mung beans into the bottom of the soaking tank from the dumping groove. Clear water is placed in the soaking tank, and the liquid level height of the clear water is at the middle position of the first sleeve;

[0019] S2. The power member is started to drive the fitting plate to move up and down. Under the action of the first spring, the movable plate and the movable rod shake reciprocally. And through the action of the second spring, the shaking frequency is increased;

[0020] S3. The piston block on the movable rod cooperates with the through hole on the fixed cylinder to make the water flow impact and move the movable rod, moving the mung beans at the bottom of the soaking tank. Moreover, the rotating rod that rotates in a circle cooperates with the rotating groove, causing the convex block to rotate self - rotatably within the fixed cylinder, increasing the impact frequency between the clear water and the mung beans.

[0021] S4. Collect the soaked mung beans through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the soaking tank.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] The matching plate moves up and down reciprocally. Under the action of the first spring, the movable plate and the movable rod shake up and down reciprocally. Also, under the action of the second spring, the shaking frequency of the movable rod and the movable plate is increased.

[0024] The piston block on the movable rod that shakes up and down squeezes the clear water in the fixed cylinder, causing the clear water to impact the mung beans at the bottom of the movable soaking tank through the through hole, thus moving the mung beans. In this way, the mechanical structures do not directly contact and drive the mung beans to move, so while ensuring the movement of the mung beans, it avoids damaging the mung beans due to direct contact with them.

[0025] Moreover, the rotating rod and the matching rotating groove cause the movable rod to rotate reciprocally and self - rotate, with a certain angular deflection in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the convex block to rotate self - rotatably within the fixed cylinder. Cooperating with the through hole, the impact frequency between the clear water and the mung beans is increased. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0037] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-10 , the present invention provides a mung bean soaking device, including a soaking tank 1 and a mating plate 2 located inside the soaking tank 1. The bottom of the soaking tank 1 is fixedly connected with a fixed cylinder 3. A movable rod 4 passing through the mating plate 2 is disposed through the fixed cylinder 3. The bottom of the movable rod 4 is fixedly connected with a convex block 5. The middle of the movable rod 4 is rotatably connected with a movable plate 6. An elastic member is provided between the movable plate 6 and the mating plate 2;

[0039] A plurality of through holes 9 are disposed through the fixed cylinder 3. The diameter of the through holes 9 is smaller than the diameter of the mung beans, so that the mung beans will not enter the fixed cylinder 3.

[0040] The main idea of this application for accelerating the soaking efficiency is to make the mung beans in the clear water move through the movement of the water flow. Compared with the mechanical stirring method of the traditional stirring member, in the traditional method, the stirring member is in direct contact with the mung beans, which is likely to cause damage to the mung beans;

[0041] While this application moves the air flow, it avoids damaging the mung beans due to direct contact with the mung beans. The specific method is as follows:

[0042] S1. Clean the outer surface of the mung beans, select the size of the mung beans, filter out the mung beans with a small diameter. A pouring groove 10 is provided on the movable plate 6. Pour the washed mung beans into the bottom of the soaking tank 1 from the pouring groove 10, and place clear water in the soaking tank 1. The liquid level height of the clear water is at the middle position of the first sleeve 15;

[0043] S2. The power component is started. The operating speed of the power component in this application is slow and does not require rapid movement. The movement of the clear water does not need to cover a large distance. The power component drives the cooperation plate 2 to reciprocate up and down. Under the action of the first spring 12, the movable plate 6 and the movable rod 4 reciprocate up and down. And under the action of the second spring 14, the shaking frequency of the movable rod 4 and the movable plate 6 is increased.

[0044] S3. The movable rod 4 and the movable plate 6 shake up and down. The piston block 18 on the shaking movable rod 4 moves up and down in the fixed cylinder 3 (that is, the up and down movement of the movable rod 4 and the movable plate 6 drives the piston block 18 to reciprocate in the fixed cylinder 3), squeezing the clear water in the fixed cylinder 3. Through the extrusion of the through hole 9, the clear water impacts the mung beans at the bottom of the movable soaking tank 1 through the through hole 9, so that the mung beans move. In this way, the mechanical structures do not directly contact and drive the mung beans to move, thus ensuring the movement of the mung beans while avoiding damaging the mung beans due to direct contact.

[0045] Under the action of the power component, one end of the rotating rod 7 close to the movable rod 4 moves at its original position, while the other end of the rotating rod 7 makes a circular motion. Cooperating with the rotating groove 8, the movable rod 4 rotates reciprocally, and also has a certain angular deflection in the horizontal direction, thereby driving the convex block 5 to rotate in the fixed cylinder 3. Cooperating with the through hole 9, the impact frequency between the clear water and the mung beans is increased. The rotating rod 7 can slide up and down along the rotating groove 8, that is, it ensures that the rotating rod 7 drives the movable rod 4 to rotate reciprocally, and does not affect the up and down reciprocating movement of the movable rod 4.

[0046] S4. When the mung beans are soaked to the required degree, stop the operation of the motor 19, open the water discharge valve at the bottom (not shown in the figure, which is a conventional technology) to release the clear water, and then collect the soaked mung beans through the discharge pipe at the bottom of the soaking tank (open the valve). It is also possible to connect the suction pipe of an external suction device to the discharge pipe to suck out the soaked mung beans in the soaking tank 1.

[0047] Explanation about the up and down shaking of the movable plate 6 and the movable rod 4:

[0048] The elastic component includes a first spring 12 hung between the cooperation plate 2 and the movable plate 6. A limiting rod 13 fixedly connected to the cooperation plate 2 penetrates through the movable plate 6. A second spring 14 is movably wound around the outer surface of the limiting rod 13, and both ends of the second spring 14 are connected to the limiting rod 13 and the movable plate 6 respectively.

[0049] Under the action of the power component and restricted by the movable rod 4, the matching plate 2 makes reciprocating up and down movements. Through the first spring 12, and restricted by the limiting component and the movable rod 4, the movable plate 6 can only swing up and down. For the swinging movable plate 6 up and down, the limiting rod 13 makes reciprocating up and down movements relative to the movable plate 6, acting on the second spring 14, thereby further acting on the movable plate 6 to increase the frequency and effect of the swinging of the movable plate 6. Two limiting disks 11 that cooperate with the movable plate 6 are fixedly connected to the middle of the movable rod 4, ensuring that while the movable plate 6 makes reciprocating up and down movements with the movable rod 4, it does not affect the rotation of the movable rod 4 on the movable plate 6. The swinging of the movable plate 6 drives the synchronous swinging of the movable rod 4;

[0050] The movable rod 4 swings up and down along the inside of the fixed cylinder 3, driving the piston block 18 to move up and down inside the fixed cylinder 3, squeezing the clear water in the fixed cylinder 3, so that the clear water quickly moves through the through holes 9, impacting the mung beans at the bottom of the soaking tube, moving the mung beans to increase the impact frequency between the clear water and the mung beans, enabling the moving clear water to better enter the mung beans (compared with the soaking of the mung beans by the static clear water, the soaking efficiency of the moving clear water is higher), and increasing the soaking effect;

[0051] Among them, the swinging of the movable plate 6 makes the top of the clear water move, so that the clear water in the soaking tank 1 moves as a whole. A perforation 17 is opened at the bottom of the second sleeve 16. When the clear water passes through the perforation 17, the swinging of the clear water is increased, thereby facilitating the flipping movement of the mung beans.

[0052] To ensure the service efficiency of the first spring 12 and the second spring 14: a first sleeve 15 and a second sleeve 16 that sleeve the first spring 12 and the second spring 14 are respectively fixedly connected to the movable plate 6. The second sleeve 16 sleeves the limiting rod 13. Among them, when the movable plate 6 moves the clear water, the height of the clear water liquid level changes, but it will never be higher than the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 16, so that water will not enter the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 16, affecting the first spring 12 and the second spring 14. And both the first spring 12 and the second spring 14 are stainless steel springs to prevent the first spring 12 and the second spring 14 from rusting and affecting the elasticity.

[0053] The bottom of the movable rod 4 is rotatably connected to a piston block 18 that moves inside the fixed cylinder 3, and the bottom of the fixed cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1;

[0054] It should be noted that: the mung beans at the bottom are moved by the piston block 18, and the mung beans at a higher position are moved by the convex block 5, and the activity intensity of the mung beans at the bottom is the greatest, that is, the water flow impact effect caused by the movement of the piston block 18 is the strongest.

[0055] In this application, through the combined cooperation of two groups of first springs 12 and two groups of second springs 14, its swinging efficiency is stronger than the individual effects of four groups of first springs 12 or four groups of second springs 14;

[0056] It further includes: a power member for driving the cooperation plate 2 to move. A rotating rod 7 with one end in an inclined shape is provided in the middle of the power member. A rotating groove 8 for cooperating with the rotating rod 7 is opened at the top of the movable rod 4. The rotating rod 7 is rotated by the power member, so that the movable rod 4 makes a reciprocating rotation;

[0057] The power member includes a motor 19 fixedly connected to the soaking tank 1. The output shaft of the motor 19 is fixedly connected with a rotating plate 20. The end of the rotating plate 20 is fixedly connected with the rotating rod 7. A connecting plate 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 7. The middle of the connecting plate 21 is rotatably connected to the cooperation plate 2;

[0058] Embodiment of how the power member realizes the up-and-down movement of the cooperation plate 2:

[0059] The motor 19 is started, driving the rotating plate 20 to make a circular motion, so that the rotating rod 7 makes a circular motion, and at the same time driving the connecting plate 21 to move;

[0060] Under the limitation of the movable rod 4, the middle of the connecting plate 21 rotatably connected to the cooperation plate 2 makes an up-and-down reciprocating movement, while the top of the connecting plate 21 makes a circular motion. The cooperation plate 2 makes an up-and-down reciprocating movement.

[0061] Explanation of how the inclined section of the rotating rod 7 makes the movable rod 4 reciprocate and rotate self, and also has a certain angle deflection in the horizontal direction:

[0062] The rotating rod 7 makes a circular motion, making the end of the rotating rod 7 close to the movable rod 4 move in the original position, that is, the end of the rotating rod 7 close to the movable rod 4 is on the extension line of the output shaft of the motor 19, and the end of the rotating rod 7 close to the movable rod 4 is on the central axis of the movable rod 4. The other end of the rotating rod 7 makes a circular motion, cooperating with the rotating groove 8, making the movable rod 4 reciprocate and rotate self, and also having a certain angle deflection in the horizontal direction. The rotating rod 7 makes an adaptive movement on the rotating groove 8, that is, when the inclined rotating rod 7 rotates, it drives the movable rod 4 to make a reciprocating rotation at a certain angle. At the same time, the movable rod 4 moves up and down along the cooperation plate 2, making the rotating rod 7 make a relative sliding on the rotating groove 8.

[0063] An elastic plate 22 for pressing against the movable plate 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 21. The middle of the connecting plate 21 makes an up-and-down reciprocating movement, while the top and bottom of the connecting plate 21 swing. When the bottom of the fixed connecting plate 21 contacts the shaking movable plate 6, the movable plate 6 is contacted through the elastic plate 22, and further reacts on the movable plate 6, increasing the shaking efficiency of the movable plate 6 and increasing the soaking efficiency.
