Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of corn processing technology, specifically to a corn silk stripping device for corn processing. Background Technology

[0002] Corn is one of the world's most important food crops, with global production second only to wheat and rice. It is characterized by high yield and strong adaptability. In many countries, corn is a primary food source, providing abundant carbohydrates. At the same time, corn is also an important feed crop; both its kernels and stalks can be used in animal husbandry. In the feed industry, corn can be processed into various feed products, such as corn silage and corn gluten meal, providing energy and nutrition for livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs.

[0003] After corn planting and harvesting, large quantities of corn require rapid and efficient processing. If the corn silk is not removed, it will occupy extra space during storage and may absorb more moisture, increasing the risk of mold and spoilage. Furthermore, corn with a large amount of silk during transportation complicates packaging and increases transportation costs. Because the weight and volume increase due to the presence of corn silk, a corn silk removal device for corn processing is proposed.

[0004] However, with traditional corn silk stripping devices, the corn silk gets tangled on the brush while it's being brushed off. Over time or with heavy workloads, the corn silk buildup on the brush weakens the removal effect. In this case, workers need to disassemble the device and remove the brush for cleaning, which wastes a lot of time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a corn silk stripping device for corn processing. It solves the problem that when corn silk accumulates on the brush during prolonged use or with a large workload, the removal effect is weakened. In such cases, workers need to disassemble the device and remove the brush for cleaning, which wastes a lot of time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a corn silk stripping device for corn processing, comprising a washing tank, a first protective shell fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing tank, a first motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first protective shell, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, a first bevel gear slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a second bevel gear meshing with the outer wall of the first bevel gear, a limit rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, a limit rod slidably connected to the interior of the first bevel gear, a connecting bracket rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first bevel gear, a rotating column fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second bevel gear, a barbed brush fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, a second protective shell fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing tank, a second motor fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing tank, a rotating bracket fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor, a Z-shaped column rotatably connected to the interior of the rotating bracket, a slider rotatably connected to the outer wall of the Z-shaped column, a limit block fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider, a limit block slidably connected to the interior of the washing tank, and a feeding assembly provided on the outer wall of the washing tank for concentrating and feeding corn.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank, baffles are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the feeding hopper, and a discharging hopper is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank, a first spring is provided inside the fixing plate, a placement plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first spring, a peeling block is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement plate, a support rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the placement plate, and a first fixing column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod.

[0009] Preferably, a pull bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first fixed column, a fixed rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank, an elastic retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed rod, and the inner part of the elastic retaining ring is fitted and connected to the outer wall of the pull bracket.

[0010] Preferably, a load-bearing plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and a fixing block is fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the load-bearing plate.

[0011] Preferably, a second fixing column is fixedly connected inside the fixing block, and a support rod is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second fixing column.

[0012] Preferably, the support rod is rotatably connected to a force-bearing block inside, and the outer wall of the force-bearing block is slidably connected to a base.

[0013] Preferably, the base is provided with a spring shock absorber inside, and the outer wall of the spring shock absorber is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the force-bearing block.

[0014] Preferably, the inner wall of the force-bearing block is fixedly connected to a blocking block, and the outer wall of the support rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base.

[0015] Working principle: When this device is needed, first pour the peeled corn into the hopper and move it downwards along the hopper's slope. The baffle ensures that the corn passes between the two barbed brushes. When the corn is added, the first motor on the outer wall of the first protective shell is activated. The first motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gears on both sides to rotate. The first bevel gears drive the second bevel gears to rotate. Since the first bevel gears on both sides are set in opposite directions, they drive the second bevel gears on both sides to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the two rotating columns to rotate. The rotation of the rotating columns drives the barbed brushes on both sides to rotate in opposite directions, so that the barbed brushes wrap around and pull the corn silk inside the corn, pulling out the corn silk, achieving the effect of peeling off the corn silk that was not processed during peeling.

[0016] After the device has been used for a period of time, the second motor is started. The second motor drives the rotating bracket to rotate, which in turn pulls the Z-shaped columns on both sides to rotate. When the Z-shaped columns rotate, they drive the sliders on both sides to move inside the cleaning tank. The limit block ensures that the sliders move within the inner wall of the cleaning tank and will not disengage, thus locking the entire device. This causes the rotating columns and barbed brushes on both sides to move to the sides. Since the second motor is equipped with a brake device, when the second motor stops rotating, the internal brake device brakes the motor shaft through electromagnetic force or spring force, keeping the rotating columns on both sides stationary and not moving. When the rotating columns move, they drive the second bevel gears on both sides to move. The outer wall of the second bevel gear is equipped with a connecting bracket, which can synchronously drive the first bevel gear to move. The connecting bracket consists of an L-shaped plate and a retaining ring, and can rotate while moving. The limit rod ensures that the first bevel gear can rotate while moving. The second protective shell protects the inner... The function of the structure is as follows: when moved to a certain position, the barbed brush will contact the peeling block above the placement plate. By starting the first motor, the barbed brushes on both sides will rotate in opposite directions, peeling off the corn silk from the barbed brushes. When peeling is complete, the first fixing column is pulled outward. The first fixing column drives the support rod and the placement plate to move. The movement of the placement plate causes the peeling block and the corn silk peeled off by the peeling block to leave the through hole on the outer wall of the cleaning box. When the placement plate moves, it will simultaneously compress the first spring inside the fixing plate. When pulled out to a certain position, the outer wall of the pulling bracket will be locked into the inner wall of the elastic retaining ring. Because the elastic retaining ring is made of elastic material, it can completely wrap the outer wall of the pulling bracket after being squeezed in, thereby fixing the pulling bracket through the fixing rod. The corn after peeling off the corn silk falls through the discharge hopper, which makes it convenient for workers to clean the corn silk peeled off by the peeling block. The gap between the two baffles can be adjusted according to the size of the corn to enhance the cleaning effect of the corn silk.

[0017] When workers add untreated corn into the washing tank, the impact of the corn hitting the hopper upon falling pushes the washing tank downwards. As the washing tank moves downwards, it moves the load-bearing plate downwards, which in turn moves the fixing block downwards. This movement of the fixing block, in turn, moves the second fixing column downwards, causing the support rod to rotate. The rotation of the support rod then causes the force-bearing block to move inside the base. This movement of the force-bearing block compresses the spring shock absorber. The piston inside the spring shock absorber moves within the shock absorber housing, causing damping oil to flow from one side of the piston to the other through small holes or valves on the piston. The resistance generated by the flow of damping oil dissipates some energy as heat, preventing excessive vibration of the spring shock absorber. The blocking block enhances the overall load-bearing strength of the base, reducing the impact force from falling corn, preventing internal parts from loosening, and extending the lifespan of the device.

[0018] This device can not only remove corn silk that was not processed during peeling, but also make it easier for workers to clean the corn silk that was removed by the peeling block. The gap between the two baffles can be adjusted according to the size of the corn to enhance the cleaning effect of the corn silk and reduce the impact force generated when the corn falls, preventing the internal parts from loosening. At the same time, it can also extend the service life of the device.

[0019] This invention provides a corn silk stripping device for corn processing. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. This invention starts a second motor to drive a rotating bracket to rotate, which in turn drives a Z-shaped column to rotate, thereby pushing the sliders on both sides to move. The movement of the sliders drives the rotating columns on both sides to move, which in turn drives the second bevel gear to move. The movement of the second bevel gear drives the connecting bracket to move, which in turn drives the first bevel gear to move. The limiting rod ensures that the first bevel gear can still rotate while moving on the rotating shaft, which makes it convenient for workers to clean the corn silk peeled off by the peeling block. The gap between the two barbed brushes can be adjusted according to the size of the corn to enhance the cleaning power of the corn silk.

[0021] 2. This invention involves adding corn to the washing tank. The impact force generated by the corn hitting the hopper will press down on the washing tank, causing the load-bearing plate, the fixing block, and the second fixing column to move down. This causes the support rod to rotate, which in turn moves the force-bearing block within the base and compresses the spring shock absorber. The damper inside the spring shock absorber reduces the impact force when the corn falls. The blocking block enhances the load-bearing strength of the base, which can reduce the impact force generated by the corn falling into the device, prevent parts from loosening, and extend the service life of the device.

[0022] 3. The present invention drives the first motor to rotate the shaft and the first bevel gears on both sides of the shaft. The first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear meshing with it to rotate. Since the first bevel gear is set in the opposite direction, the second bevel gears on both sides will rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the two rotating columns to rotate in the opposite direction. The barbed brush can wrap around and pull the corn silk inside the corn, and pull it out, making it easy to clean the corn silk inside the corn. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described 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.

[0032] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6This invention provides a corn silk stripping device for corn processing, including a washing tank 1. A first protective shell 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing tank 1. A first motor 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first protective shell 2. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 3. A first bevel gear 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. A second bevel gear 6 is meshed with the outer wall of the first bevel gear 5. A limit rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. The outer wall of the limit rod 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the first bevel gear 5. A connecting bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the first bevel gear 5. The inner wall of the second bevel gear 6... A rotating column 8 is fixedly connected to the wall of the washing box 1. A barbed brush 36 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 8. A second protective shell 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing box 1. A second motor 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the washing box 1. A rotating bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 10. A Z-shaped column 13 is rotatably connected inside the rotating bracket 12. A slider 14 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the Z-shaped column 13. A limit block 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 14. The outer wall of the limit block 15 is slidably connected inside the washing box 1. A feeding assembly is provided on the outer wall of the washing box 1. The feeding assembly is used to collect and feed corn.

[0033] Specifically, the first motor 3 is started, driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 4 drives the first bevel gears 5 on both sides to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gears 5 drives the second bevel gears 6 to rotate. Because the first bevel gears 5 on both sides are set in opposite directions, they will drive the second bevel gears 6 on both sides to rotate in the opposite direction, thereby causing the two rotating columns 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating columns 8 drives the barbed brushes 36 on both sides to rotate in opposite directions. In this way, the barbed brushes 36 will wrap around and pull the corn silk inside the corn, pulling out the corn silk. When the rotating columns 8 need to move, they will drive the second bevel gears 6 on both sides to move. The outer wall of the second bevel gears 6 is provided with a connecting bracket 7, which can synchronously drive the first bevel gears 5 to move. The connecting bracket 7 is composed of an L-shaped plate and a retaining ring. It can also rotate while moving. The limiting rod 11 ensures that the first bevel gears 5 can rotate while moving, thereby achieving the effect of peeling the corn silk that was not processed during peeling. The gap between the two barbed brushes can be adjusted according to the size of the corn to enhance the cleaning effect of the corn silk.

[0034] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 4 The feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper 25, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1. Baffles 26 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the feeding hopper 25, and a discharging hopper 27 is fixedly connected to the inside of the cleaning tank 1.

[0035] Specifically, the peeled corn is poured into the feed hopper 25, and the baffle 26 ensures that the corn passes through the middle of the two barbed brushes 36.

[0036] Please see the appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 6 A fixing plate 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. A first spring 17 is installed inside the fixing plate 16. A placement plate 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first spring 17. A peeling block 19 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the placement plate 18. A support rod 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the placement plate 18. A first fixing post 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod 20. A pulling bracket 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first fixing post 21. A fixing rod 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. An elastic retaining ring 24 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing rod 23. The inner part of the elastic retaining ring 24 is fitted and connected to the outer wall of the pulling bracket 22.

[0037] Specifically, pulling the first fixed column 21 outward causes the placement plate 18 to move, thereby causing the peeling block 19 and the corn silk peeled off by the peeling block 19 to leave the interior of the washing box 1. When it is pulled out to a certain position, the pulling bracket 22 is fixed by the elastic retaining ring 24 made of elastic material, and the pulling bracket 22 is fixed by the fixing rod 23. At this time, the worker will collect the corn silk peeled off by the peeling block 19.

[0038] Please see the appendix Figure 3 -Appendix Figure 7 A load-bearing plate 28 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. Fixing blocks 29 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the load-bearing plate 28. A second fixing column 30 is fixedly connected inside the fixing block 29, and a support rod 31 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the second fixing column 30. A force-bearing block 32 is rotatably connected inside the support rod 31, and a base 33 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the force-bearing block 32. A spring shock absorber 34 is installed inside the base 33, and the outer wall of the spring shock absorber 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the force-bearing block 32. A blocking block 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the force-bearing block 32, and the outer wall of the support rod 31 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the base 33.

[0039] Specifically, when the worker adds untreated corn into the washing tank 1, the impact force generated by the corn falling and hitting the feed hopper 25 will press down on the washing tank 1, which in turn will push down the load-bearing plate 28. As the load-bearing plate 28 moves downward, it will also move the fixing block 29 downward. As the fixing block 29 moves downward, it will move the second fixing column 30 downward, thereby causing the support rod 31 to rotate. The rotation of the support rod 31 will cause the force-bearing block 32 to move. The force-bearing block 32 will compress the spring damper 34. The piston inside the damper moves within the spring damper 34, causing the damping oil to flow from one side of the piston to the other through the small hole or valve on the piston. The resistance generated by the flow of damping oil will consume some energy, which will be dissipated in the form of heat. This will allow the spring damper 34 to rebound quickly after compression, reducing the impact force of the falling corn. When the spring rebounds, the blocking block 35 will enhance the overall load-bearing strength of the base 33. This will reduce the impact force generated by the falling corn, prevent the internal parts from loosening, and extend the service life of the device.

[0040] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
