[0025] In this embodiment, the conical tank 3 is first disassembled, and then the second filter plate 10 is taken out from the top of the tank body 2. Then, the corn to be soaked is placed inside the tank body 2. Then, the second filter plate 10 is buckled on the top of the tank body 2, and the limiting rod 11 is inserted into the positioning hole 12 to limit the second filter plate 10. Then, soaking liquid is added to the tank body 2. At this time, the second filter plate 10 is provided to prevent the corn material from floating to the top of the tank body 2, and the corn material can be completely soaked in the tank body 2.
