Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of starch production equipment, in particular to a starch dehydration device used for starch production. Background Art

[0002] Starch is a natural polysaccharide that is widely found in various plants, such as corn. When extracting corn starch from corn, it is crucial to ensure its production quality. This process is not only about the selection of raw materials, but also requires carefully designed processes and technologies to maximize the purity and quality of starch. In order to achieve this goal, advanced technology and equipment are needed to ensure that each step is carefully controlled. The dehydration step is particularly important. In order to ensure the quality of the final product and improve production efficiency, starch dehydration equipment plays an indispensable role. These specialized equipment can efficiently remove excess water from the starch slurry, reduce the moisture content of the starch, and prepare for the next drying process, thereby ensuring that the final result is a high-quality and dry corn starch product.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN215162289U discloses a starch dehydration device for starch production, including a dehydration box, a connecting bracket, an inclined conveying cylinder, a feeding hopper, a feeding pipe, a bearing seat, a driving motor and a screw conveying shaft. By turning on the driving motor, the screw conveying shaft is driven to convey starch to the dehydration box, and then by turning on the stirring motor, the starch is filtered onto the filter plate, and finally the starch is further dehydrated by turning on two cylinders. However, during the dehydration process, the above-mentioned dehydration device further squeezes the starch through the cylinder, so that the corn starch is agglomerated. It is very likely that the corn starch after squeezing is not broken up in time, causing the starch to agglomerate or clump rapidly, which will not only increase the difficulty of the subsequent crushing process, but also may cause the starch to deteriorate, and ultimately affect the quality of the starch.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems in the related technologies. Utility Model Content

They can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, ordinary technicians in the field should be able to understand other possible implementation methods and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the utility model, a starch dehydration device for starch production is provided.

[0024] The present invention is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Figure 1-5 As shown, a starch dehydration device for starch production according to an embodiment of the utility model includes a workbench 1, a collecting mechanism 2 is inserted at the bottom end of the workbench 1, a dehydration mechanism 3 is arranged at the top end of the workbench 1, a feed pipe 4 is inserted at the top end of the dehydration mechanism 3, and a discharge pipe 5 matched with the dehydration mechanism 3 is inserted at the bottom end of the workbench 1 and located on one side of the collecting mechanism 2.

[0025] With the aid of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the utility model, the utility model ensures that the mixed solution containing corn starch can be quickly dehydrated under the action of centrifugal force through the coordinated arrangement of the collecting mechanism 2 and the dehydration mechanism 3, and then further ensures the quality of starch dehydration through drying and breaking up, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of starch dehydration and ensuring the quality of the final starch.

[0026] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned collecting mechanism 2, the collecting mechanism 2 includes a driven gear 201 arranged in the middle of the bottom end of the workbench 1, a driving gear 202 is meshed on one side of the driven gear 201, and a motor 203 is connected to the bottom end of the driving gear 202; a rotary joint 204 is inserted at the bottom end of the driven gear 201, a threaded rod 205 is arranged at the inner top of the rotary joint 204, a plurality of rotating blade rods 206 are arranged at the bottom outer side of the threaded rod 205, a scraper 207 is sleeved on the top outer side of the threaded rod 205, and the bottom of the threaded rod 205 is provided with a plurality of rotating blade rods 206, and a scraper 207 is sleeved on the top outer side of the threaded rod 205. A hot air channel 208 is provided at the end, and a plurality of air outlet holes 209 connected to the hot air channel 208 are provided on the outer side of the threaded rod 205; the dehydrated starch can be further dried by the hot air introduced into the hot air channel 208, and then the threaded rod 205 is driven to rotate by the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 203, so that the scraper 207 moves downward to scrape off the attached starch, and at the same time, the scraped starch is broken up by the rotation of the rotating blade rod 206, thereby ensuring the uniform drying of the starch, avoiding the coagulation and deterioration of the starch, and thus ensuring the quality of the starch.

[0027] In addition, it should be noted that, in order to allow hot air to flow into the hot air channel 208, a hot air pipe is connected to the bottom end of the rotary joint 204, and the hot air pipe is not shown in the figure.

[0028] In addition, it should be noted that in order to prevent the hot air pipe from being affected by the rotation of the threaded rod 205, the above-mentioned rotary joint 204 is a joint assembly that can rotate freely relative to the shell. This assembly usually includes a hollow shaft with a fluid channel. The middle part of the hollow shaft is installed in the shell of the stationary part through a bearing to maintain good positioning and low-friction rotation during rotation. In order to support the rotation of the shaft, a set of bearings will be configured inside the rotary joint to prevent leakage of the sealing part. The composition of the above-mentioned rotary joint 204 is a prior art and will not be elaborated on here.

[0029] In addition, it should be noted that in order to ensure that the feed pipe 4 can continue to feed without being affected by rotation during the dehydration process of the dehydration mechanism 3, the feed pipe 4 and the collection mechanism 2 also need to be connected through a joint with the same structure as the rotary joint 204. In addition, the joint is not shown in the figure.

[0032] The working principle of the dehydration mechanism 3 is as follows: by starting the motor 2 308, the output shaft of the motor 2 308 drives the driving gear 2 307 to rotate, so that the meshing gear ring 306 rotates, and at the same time, under the limiting action of the slot 303, the centrifugal cylinder 305 and the filter cylinder 304 rotate, so that the mixed solution containing corn starch will separate the starch on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 304 under the centrifugal force and the filtering action of the filter cylinder 304, and the remaining liquid will be filtered into the centrifugal cylinder 305 through the filter cylinder 304, thereby improving the efficiency of starch dehydration and ensuring that the purity and quality of the starch are retained to the greatest extent.

Under the rotation of the rotating blade rod 206, the scraped starch is broken up, thereby ensuring uniform drying of the starch, avoiding starch coagulation and deterioration, and further ensuring the quality of the starch; by setting up the dehydration mechanism 3, the gear ring 306 can be rotated under the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 2 308, driving the centrifugal cylinder 305 and the filter cylinder 304 to rotate together, so that the mixed solution containing corn starch will separate the starch on the inner wall of the filter cylinder 304 under the centrifugal force and the filtering action of the filter cylinder 304, and the remaining liquid will be filtered into the centrifugal cylinder 305 through the filter cylinder 304, thereby improving the efficiency of starch dehydration and ensuring that the purity and quality of the starch are retained to the greatest extent.
