The active rotating mechanism 2 and the passive rotating mechanism 3 are installed on opposite sides of the shell 1. The corn ear is fixed inside the shell 1 and rotates by the cooperation of the active rotating mechanism 2 and the passive rotating mechanism 3. The degerming mechanism 4 is installed on the shell 1 and is used to spray degerming liquid onto the corn ear to separate the corn embryo from the endosperm. The disinfection mechanism 5 is installed on the shell 1 and is used to spray disinfectant into the interior of the shell 1 for disinfection and sterilization. The collection mechanism 6 is installed below the shell 1 and is used to filter the corn embryo and degerming liquid to collect the corn embryo.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer casing 1 includes a frame 101 and a sealing door 102. The frame 101 is welded together from four stainless steel side plates, a stainless steel top plate, and a stainless steel bottom plate. The stainless steel bottom plate is welded together from four triangular stainless steel plates into a conical structure. The stainless steel bottom plate is welded at a certain distance from the bottom of the stainless steel side plates, thus leaving installation space for the collection mechanism 6 below. A drain hole is formed at the bottom of the conical shape in the middle of the stainless steel bottom plate. One of the four stainless steel side plates serves as the front side plate.

A proximity switch, specifically a magnetic proximity switch, is installed between the sealing door 102 and the frame 101 to detect whether the sealing door 102 is closed. When the sealing door 102 is not closed, the corn cob removal and sterilization work is prohibited.

[0036] like Figure 4As shown, the active rotation mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the housing 1. The active rotation mechanism 2 includes a rotating housing 201, a rotating shaft 202, a transmission belt 203, a motor 204, and a sliding sleeve 205. The rotating housing 201 is installed on a stainless steel top plate. The motor 204 is installed downward on the rotating housing 201. The output shaft of the motor 204 extends into the rotating housing 201. The rotating shaft 202 passes through the rotating housing 201 vertically. The lower end of the rotating shaft 202 extending out of the rotating housing 201 is fixed with a first spike 206. The part of the rotating shaft 202 located inside the rotating housing 201 is fitted with the sliding sleeve 205. The transmission belt 203 is tensioned between the sliding sleeve 205 and the output shaft of the motor 204. The motor 204 drives the rotating shaft 202 and the first spike 206 fixed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 202 to rotate through the transmission belt 203. The rotating shaft 202 can slide up and down along the sliding sleeve 205 to adjust the height of the first spike 206.

A second spike 301, coaxial with the first spike 206, is fixed on the turntable. (See also...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first spike 206 and the second spike 301 are inserted into both ends of the corn cob, thus fixing the corn cob vertically inside the outer casing 1. Of course, the installation positions of the active rotating mechanism 2 and the passive rotating mechanism 3 can be adjusted to fix the corn cob at different angles. When the motor 204 is started, the first spike 206 drives the corn cob to rotate, and the second spike 301 rotates passively along with the corn cob.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the germ stripping mechanism 4 includes a germ stripping fluid storage tank, a germ stripping fluid high-pressure pump, a germ stripping fluid pipeline 401, a germ stripping fluid pressure gauge 404, a germ stripping fluid solenoid valve 403, and a germ stripping fluid nozzle 402. A portion of the germ stripping fluid pipeline 401 is located inside the outer casing 1 and is equipped with a row of germ stripping fluid nozzles 402. The other portion of the germ stripping fluid pipeline 401 is located outside the outer casing 1 and is equipped with the germ stripping fluid pressure gauge 404 and the germ stripping fluid solenoid valve 403. The portion of the germ stripping fluid pipeline 401 located outside the outer casing 1 is connected to the germ stripping fluid storage tank via the germ stripping fluid high-pressure pump. Tap water can be used as the germ stripping fluid. To ensure that the corn germ is not contaminated during the separation of the corn germ and endosperm, a disinfectant such as sodium hypochlorite is used in the germ stripping fluid. Sodium hypochlorite solution is sprayed onto the corn ears through the germ stripping fluid nozzles 402 to wash off the corn germ, thus achieving both separation and disinfection of the corn germ.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the disinfection mechanism 5 includes a disinfectant storage tank, a disinfectant high-pressure pump, a disinfectant pipeline 501, a disinfectant pressure gauge 504, a disinfectant solenoid valve 503, and a disinfectant nozzle 502. A portion of the disinfectant pipeline 501 is located inside the outer casing 1 and is equipped with the disinfectant nozzle 502. Another portion of the disinfectant pipeline 501 is located outside the outer casing 1 and is equipped with the disinfectant pressure gauge 504 and the disinfectant solenoid valve 503. The portion of the disinfectant pipeline 501 located outside the outer casing 1 is connected to the disinfectant storage tank via the disinfectant high-pressure pump. In one specific embodiment, the portion of the disinfectant pipeline 501 located inside the outer casing 1 forms two symmetrically distributed interfaces, each connected to a disinfectant nozzle 502. Before placing corn ears inside the outer casing 1, disinfectant is sprayed into the interior of the outer casing 1 through the disinfectant nozzle 502 to achieve disinfection and sterilization of the interior of the outer casing 1. The disinfectant includes, but is not limited to, peracetic acid solution.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, the collection mechanism 6 includes a collection box 601, a filter screen 602, and a workbench 603. The workbench 603 is placed below the outer casing 1, and the collection box 601 is placed on the workbench 603. A drain outlet is formed on one side of the collection box 601. The filter screen 602 is placed on the collection box 601 and is positioned directly opposite the drain hole of the outer casing 1. Waste liquid generated during the embryo stripping mechanism 4 and waste liquid generated during the disinfection process of the disinfection mechanism 5 are discharged from the drain outlet of the collection box 601.

[0041] The working process of the corn ear peeling machine provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0042] Before the automatic embryo stripping operation, the disinfection mechanism 5 is activated to disinfect and sterilize the inside of the shell 1. During this process, the waste liquid generated is discharged from the drain of the collection box 601.

[0043] During automatic germ removal, the sealing door 102 is opened, and the operator places the pre-treated corn cobs into the housing 1. The rotating shaft 202 is then slid downwards, causing the first spike 206 and the second spike 301 to pierce both ends of the corn cob, thus fixing the corn cob in place. The sealing door 102 is then closed, and the rotating mechanism 2 is started. The rotating shaft 202 is rotated via the motor 204, thereby rotating the corn cob and the rotating table. At the same time, the germ removal liquid solenoid valve 403 is opened, spraying sodium hypochlorite solution onto the corn cob. The corn germ is continuously rinsed off the corn cob and then filtered and collected through the filter screen 603. Waste liquid generated during this process is discharged from the drain outlet of the collection box 601.

[0044] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used, with steps reordered, added, or deleted. For example, the steps described in this utility model disclosure can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution disclosed in this utility model can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0045] The specific embodiments described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
