[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, the utility model aims to solve the problem that the quality of malt products will be affected by the presence of light impurities such as bran, straw, and empty grains in the existing malt soaking process, and provides the following technical solutions: a pressure-regulating and floating wheat scraping device for a conical malt soaking tank, comprising a malt soaking tank 1, wherein the upper side of the malt soaking tank 1 is provided with a flange 12; an end cover 2, wherein the end cover 2 is provided on the upper part of the malt soaking tank 1; a motor 3, wherein the motor 3 is vertically provided in the middle of the end cover 2, and a mounting plate 4 is provided at the movable end of the motor 3; a high-pressure water pipe 5, wherein ... high-pressure water pipe 5, wherein the malt soaking tank 1 is provided with a flange 12; an end cover 2 It is arranged on one side of the motor 3, and the lower end of the high-pressure water pipe 5 passes through the end cover 2 and is horizontally arranged in the malt soaking tank 1. The bottom of the high-pressure water pipe 5 is provided with a plurality of nozzles 6 at intervals along its length direction; the walking wheel 7 is detachably arranged on the end of the mounting plate 4 away from the motor 3, and the walking wheel 7 is placed on the upper side of the flange 12 and can move along the flange 12, thereby effectively removing light impurities such as bran, straw, empty grains, etc. in the initial stage of malting, eliminating their adverse effects on the quality of the final malt product.

[0018] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a scraper 8 is provided on the lower side of the mounting plate 4, a soft scraper 9 is provided on the first end of the scraper 8, one side of the soft scraper 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the wheat soaking tank 1, and a baffle 13 is provided on the second end of the scraper 8. Impurities floating on the surface are collected together by the scraper 8 and the soft scraper 9.

[0019] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, a connection block 10 is provided at one end of the high-pressure water pipe 5 away from the motor 3 , and the connection block 10 is connected to the end cover 2 , which has a simple structure and is more solid.

[0020] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, an overflow port 11 is provided on the side wall of the wheat soaking tank 1 below the high-pressure water pipe 5 , and impurities on the surface can be discharged through the overflow port 11 .

[0021] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the nozzle 6 is arranged to be inclined 30 degrees toward the overflow port 11 to increase the resistance of the water wall to the flow of floating wheat.
