Detailed implementation manners
[0018] Next, the technical solutions in this embodiment will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings in this embodiment. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0019] Such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a corn kernel cleaning device, which includes a box body 1, a drum 2, a feed hopper 3, a conveyor belt 4, and a nozzle 7. The top of the box body 1 is open. There are two partition plates 11 inside the box body 1. The two partition plates 11 divide the box body 1 into a sewage discharge bin 12, a cleaning bin 13, and a discharge bin 14. The drum 2 is horizontally arranged. The drum 2 includes a support cylinder 22, a conical cylinder 21, and a discharge hopper 23. The conical cylinder 21 includes a small diameter end and a large diameter end. The support cylinder 22 is located at the small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21. The support cylinder 22 is connected to the partition plate 11 through a bearing. A motor 5 is installed at the upper end of the box body 1. The motor 5 is connected to the support cylinder 22 through a gear drive. The discharge hopper 23 is located at the large diameter end of the conical cylinder 21. The discharge hopper 23 is connected to the partition plate 11 through a bearing. The drum 2 is rotatably installed on the two partition plates 11. The small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21 faces the sewage discharge bin 12, and the large diameter end of the conical cylinder 21 faces the discharge bin 14. The conical cylinder 21 is located in the cleaning bin 13. The feed hopper 3 includes a discharge port 32. The discharge port 32 extends into the small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21. Corn kernels are poured from the feed port 31 of the feed hopper 3 and sent into the conical cylinder 21 from the discharge port 32. There is a liquid level 8 of a certain height in the box body 1 for cleaning the corn kernels. The height of the liquid level 8 is lower than the upper end of the small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21. At least a part of the drum 2 is below the liquid level 8 in the box body 1, that is, the corn kernels can be immersed below the liquid level 8 after entering the conical cylinder 21. Since fresh corn kernels can sink into the water and corn whiskers and leaf fragments can float on the water surface, separation can be carried out when the corn kernels enter the water. The rotating drum 2 can continuously tumble the corn kernels in the water, playing a role in cleaning. And because the diameters of the two ends of the conical cylinder 21 are different, the corn kernels can move from the small diameter end to the large diameter end of the conical cylinder 21 during the rotation of the drum 2. The conical cylinder 21 is provided with a plurality of through holes 211. The through holes 211 provided in the conical cylinder 21 can filter out the sediment and small particles mixed in the corn kernels from the conical cylinder 21.
[0020] More preferably, a ring baffle 212 is provided at the small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21. The discharge port 32 passes through the ring baffle 212 and extends into the conical cylinder 21. The ring baffle 212 can prevent the corn kernels from falling out of the small diameter end of the conical cylinder 21 during feeding, playing a certain blocking role. The discharge port 32 is higher than the liquid level 8 to prevent sundries floating on the water surface from entering and accumulating in the discharge port 32.
[0021] A part of the roller 2 extends into the discharge bin 14, that is, a part of the discharge hopper 23 is located in the discharge bin 14. The part of the discharge hopper 23 located in the discharge bin 14 is in the shape of a horn with a gradually increasing diameter, which can make the corn kernels reaching the discharge hopper 23 be more stably sent onto the conveyor belt 4. The conveyor belt 4 is located in the discharge bin 14 and is inclined. The lower end of the conveyor belt 4 is located below the roller 2, and the higher end of the conveyor belt 4 is far from the partition 11. The corn kernels fall from the discharge hopper 23 to the lower end of the conveyor belt 4 and are conveyed to the higher end and finally sent out of the box body 1. A plurality of baffles are arranged on the conveyor belt 4 along the conveying direction, which can temporarily store the corn kernels on the conveyor belt 4. The width of the conveyor belt 4 is greater than the maximum diameter width of the discharge bin 14 to prevent the corn kernels from falling out of the conveyor belt 4.
[0022] The air nozzle 7 is located above the liquid level 8. The air nozzle 7 is located inside one end of the roller 2 facing the discharge bin 14. The air nozzle 7 blows air obliquely towards the sewage bin 12 against the liquid level 8. The air outlet of the air nozzle 7 is in a strip shape, and the air outlet of the air nozzle 7 can cover a part of the large-diameter end of the conical cylinder 21, and can form a flat blowing wind to blow the sundries on the liquid level 8 in the conical cylinder 21 towards the small-diameter end direction of the conical cylinder 21, playing a role in isolating floating objects.
[0023] This embodiment further includes a water pump 6. The box body 1 is provided with a bottom plate 131. The bottom plate 131 is located at the bottom of the cleaning bin 13. The side of the bottom plate 131 facing the discharge bin 14 gradually slopes downward. The sloping bottom plate 131 can guide the sediment particles at the bottom of the cleaning bin 13 to one side. The lowest end of the bottom plate 131 is provided with a water outlet 132. A filtering device is provided at the water outlet 132 to filter the sundries in the water. The water inlet end of the water pump 6 is connected to the water outlet 132.
[0024] The box body 1 includes a plurality of first water inlets 61. The first water inlets 61 are located on the two side walls of the cleaning bin 13. The plurality of first water inlets 61 are distributed along the horizontal direction. The first water inlets 61 are connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 6 to form a water circulation in the box body 1 to save water. The first water inlets 61 are inclined in the direction towards the sewage bin 12. When the first water inlets 61 discharge water, they can push the floating objects on the liquid level 8 in the cleaning bin 13 towards the sewage bin 12. A channel 111 is opened on the partition 11 between the sewage bin 12 and the cleaning bin 13. The channel 111 communicates the sewage bin 12 and the cleaning bin 13. The opening of the channel 111 gradually expands towards the cleaning bin 13 direction. The floating objects in the cleaning bin 13 can flow into the sewage bin 12 through the channel 111. At the same time, the first water inlets 61 on both sides can wash the middle conical cylinder 21 to play a role in cleaning with a certain water flow.
[0025] The box body 1 is provided with a second water inlet 62 and a sewage outlet 15. The second water inlet 62 can also be connected to the water outlet end of the water pump 6, and the sewage outlet 15 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 6 to form a water cycle. The second water inlet 62 and the sewage outlet 15 are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the sewage bin 12. The second water inlet 62 can discharge water towards the sewage outlet 15, pushing the floating objects on the liquid surface 8 of the sewage bin 12 towards the sewage outlet 15, and the sewage outlet 15 can filter the floating objects.
[0026] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions within the idea of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, several improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present invention.
