Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of corn processing, and in particular to a fresh corn processing device. Background Art

[0002] Fresh corn, also known as fruit and vegetable corn, is rich in dietary fiber, amino acids, vitamins, anthocyanins and various trace elements. It conforms to the healthy diet concept of "anti-oxidation, eating coarse grains and balanced nutrition" and is deeply favored by consumers.

[0003] After fresh corn leaves the straw scale, the nutrient content of the kernels changes. Respiration consumes the sugars in the kernels, which are then quickly converted into starch, causing the kernels to rapidly decrease in sugar content. The kernels are also prone to dehydration and deterioration, losing their commercial value. This requires rapid processing of the harvested corn, followed by subsequent sealing or quick freezing to minimize loss of quality. Manual processing is labor-intensive and inefficient.

[0004] In summary, it is necessary to provide an improved technical solution to address the above-mentioned deficiencies in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

A plurality of air outlet holes are provided on the surface of the cylindrical rollers. A blowing component is provided in the cylindrical rollers. Bubbles are discharged into the water through the blowing component to impact the corn, causing light impurities to float on the water surface, thereby facilitating the removal of light impurities. The corn can also be transported by the rotation of the plurality of cylindrical rollers.

[0041] It should be noted that the water level in the water tank 11 is set at a position 10 cm above the top of the cylindrical roller so that the lower half of the corn can be completely immersed in water. During the transportation of the corn, the corn is continuously and fully sterilized and cleaned through the water tank 11.

After the upper water tank soaks and sterilizes the corn and cleans it with bubbles, the water in the upper water tank is filtered through the filter and enters the lower water tank. The filtered water in the lower water tank enters the spray pipe to spray and rinse the corn, and the waste water after rinsing flows into the lower water tank, making full use of the water resources in the water tank 11.

[0044] Each of the spray pipes is arranged parallel to the axial direction of the cylindrical tube to ensure a cleaning effect.

[0045] The beard removal mechanism 2 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 1 and includes a collection box. A plurality of brush rolls are arranged in the collection box.

[0051] The turntable 42 rotates so that the multiple placement boxes 43 are respectively rotated to the lower part of different distance collectors 44. The distance collector 44 obtains the distance to the top of the corn to determine whether the distance between the corn in the placement box 43 and the distance collector 44 meets the predetermined requirements. When the predetermined requirements are met, the grading and screening mechanism 4 controls the opening of the folding plate at the bottom of the placement box 43 to allow the corn in the placement box 43 to slide through the third conveyor belt 5 to the corresponding corn storage box 6 to complete the grading and screening.

[0052] It should be noted that the grading and screening mechanism 4 is connected to the bottom of the collection box through the second conveyor belt 3.

[0053] It should also be noted that the placement box 43 is a placement box 43 with upper and lower openings, the corn is vertically inserted into the placement box 43, and a folding plate is provided at the lower opening of the placement box 43.

[0054] In one practicable manner, a third conveyor belt 5 is provided at the bottom of the folding plate, and the corn is conveyed to different corn storage boxes 6 by the third conveyor belt 5. The third conveyor belt 5 is arranged at an angle to facilitate the conveyance of the corn.

[0055] In one embodiment, the other end of the folding rod 41 is provided with an arc-shaped support, on which a plurality of distance collectors 44 are provided. As the turntable 42 rotates, the plurality of placement boxes 43 sequentially pass through the plurality of distance collectors 44, each of which is provided with a different threshold value.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in the figure, a first distance collector, a second distance collector, and a third distance collector are arranged on the arc-shaped support, a first folding plate is correspondingly arranged at the lower part of the first distance collector, a second folding plate is correspondingly arranged at the lower part of the second distance collector, and a third folding plate is correspondingly arranged at the lower part of the third distance collector.

[0057] The first distance collector is provided in correspondence with the large corn storage box. When the distance from the top of the corn collected by the first distance collector meets a first threshold, the first flap is controlled to open, allowing the corn in the placement box 43 to slide into the large corn storage box. The second distance collector is provided in correspondence with the medium corn storage box. When the distance from the top of the corn collected by the second distance collector meets a second threshold, the second flap is controlled to open, allowing the corn in the placement box 43 to slide into the medium corn storage box. The third distance collector is provided in correspondence with the small corn storage box. When the distance from the top of the corn collected by the third distance collector meets a third threshold, the third flap is controlled to open, allowing the corn in the placement box 43 to slide into the small corn storage box.

[0061] In summary, the present invention can avoid the rapid loss of quality of fresh corn after picking, and has the advantage of rapid and efficient processing of fresh corn to ensure the processing quality of fresh corn.

[0062] The cleaning mechanism and bubble cleaning mechanism clean dust, bacteria, and impurities from the surface of the fresh corn in the water tank. The heating tube sterilizes the fresh corn. The first conveyor belt and air blower create bubbles in the water, creating micro-impacts during the cleaning process, causing light impurities to float to the surface and remove them. The water tank and spray unit spray clean the fresh corn. Dirty water and floating impurities in the upper part of the water tank are pumped out of the cleaning mechanism, while the water in the lower part is recycled. The dewatering station provides the initial dewatering of the corn. The dryer dries the surface of the fresh corn, facilitating the subsequent silk removal. The brush rollers ensure balanced force on the inclined surface, allowing the corn to pass through the desilking chamber at a uniform speed, saving energy. Three rows of brush rollers provide a complete three-pass desilking process. Setting the distance collector at different heights facilitates unified programming of the distance collector, facilitating rapid size grading of the fresh corn.
