Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheat flour storage technology, specifically to a mold-proof wheat flour storage container. Background Technology
[0002] After drying, wheat flour needs to be stored under specific conditions to ensure its quality and food safety. Because wheat flour is highly hygroscopic, intolerant of high temperatures, and prone to mold and insect infestation, it requires the use of near-low temperature and low temperature techniques during storage to prevent moisture and pests, and to avoid contact with other substances with strong odors.
[0003] In large grain reserves, wheat flour is often stored using conventional methods, airtight storage, and low-temperature storage to prevent it from getting damp, moldy, and infested with insects, while maintaining its quality and food safety.
[0004] The shortcomings of the existing technical solutions are as follows: wheat flour carries various microorganisms, including molds and bacteria. These microorganisms may be difficult to completely eliminate during the drying process. During storage, if conditions are suitable (such as certain temperature and oxygen conditions), these microorganisms become active, carry out metabolic activities, and produce moisture. This causes changes in the moisture content of the wheat flour, providing favorable conditions for mold growth, which may lead to mold infestation and economic losses for the company's operations. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a mold-proof wheat flour storage container to solve the technical problem that wheat flour carries a variety of microorganisms that are difficult to eliminate by drying. During storage, if conditions are suitable, these microorganisms will become active, carry out metabolic activities and produce moisture, which may lead to mold growth.
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A mold-resistant wheat flour storage container includes a storage container with an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom. The device also includes a spreading mechanism for evenly spreading wheat flour inside the storage container, an irradiation generator for sterilizing the wheat flour by radiation, and a vibration mechanism for generating vibration during material conveying. The spreading mechanism is located inside the storage container and corresponds to the inlet. The vibration mechanism is located at the bottom of the storage container. The irradiation generator is fixedly located at the top of the storage container.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the evenly spreading mechanism includes a support plate fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, a connecting rod rotatably connected to the support plate, a receiving tray coaxially fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod, the position of the receiving tray corresponding to the position of the input port, a spreading port being opened around the side of the receiving tray, and a drive mechanism for rotating the connecting rod being provided on the storage tank.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the vibration mechanism includes a hopper, which is disposed inside the storage tank. An elastic support pad assembly is provided between the hopper and the bottom of the storage tank. The bottom opening of the hopper is connected to the output port. A high-frequency vibrator is fixedly disposed on the hopper. The edge of the hopper does not contact the inner wall of the storage tank. Multiple sets of vibration guide plates radiating outward from the center are fixedly connected around the hopper.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the elastic support pad assembly includes a flexible silicone pad, the bottom shape of which is adapted to the bottom shape of the storage tank, and the top shape of which is adapted to the bottom shape of the hopper.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the driving mechanism includes a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank, a driving wheel fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, a driven wheel fixedly connected to the connecting rod on the same axis, and a belt provided between the driven wheel and the driving wheel.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a protective box is fixedly connected to the top of the storage container, the driving wheel, the driven wheel and the belt are all located inside the protective box, and the connecting rod is installed through the protective box.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a material conveying mechanism is provided on the output port, the material conveying mechanism includes a guide cylinder connected to the output port, an electromagnetic valve is fixedly provided between the guide cylinder and the output port, a second motor is fixedly connected to one end of the guide cylinder, and a spiral plate for conveying wheat flour is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.
[0014] As a further embodiment of this invention, the outer side of the storage container is coated with a barium sulfate coating.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a transparent observation plate is provided on one side of the storage container, and the storage capacity is marked on the transparent observation plate.
[0016] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a surrounding support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage container, and a sealing cover is provided at the input port.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. When this utility model is in use, the first motor starts and drives the connecting rod and the receiving tray to rotate, thereby causing the wheat flour falling on the receiving tray to move in a circular motion. Under the action of centrifugal force, the wheat flour is thrown out of the feeding port, so that the wheat flour is scattered and falls into the storage tank more evenly, avoiding the situation of material piling up in the middle and empty space around, thus reducing the utilization rate of storage space; at the same time, the dispersion also makes it easier for the irradiation device to sterilize the wheat flour, improving the sterilization effect.
[0019] 2. In this invention, when wheat flour is output, the high-frequency vibrator vibrates, which drives the hopper to vibrate. The flexible silicone pad acts as a buffer, reducing the impact on the storage tank. The vibration of the hopper causes the wheat flour to fall towards the output port. A vibration guide plate is fixed on the hopper, which can expand the influence range of the vibration, improve the looseness of the wheat flour at the bottom of the storage tank, reduce the possibility of wheat flour clumping, and ensure the output effect.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an anti-mold wheat flour storage container includes a storage container 1. The top of the storage container 1 has an inlet 12, and a sealing cap 6 is located at the inlet 12. A surrounding support plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage container 1, and an outlet 8 is located at the bottom of the storage container 1. The device also includes a spreading mechanism 4 for evenly spreading wheat flour inside the storage container 1, an irradiation generator 2 for irradiating and sterilizing the wheat flour, and a vibration mechanism 5 for generating vibration during material conveying. The irradiation generator 2 is a gamma-ray generator that can release gamma rays with a total average radiation dose below 10 kGy. Gamma rays have high penetrating power and can achieve sterilization and disinfection effects. Through precisely controlled gamma-ray irradiation, the shelf life can be effectively extended, the risk of mold growth can be reduced, and no radioactive residues will be left in the wheat flour, ensuring food safety.
[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the evenly spreading mechanism 4 includes a support plate 401 fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 1. A connecting rod 402 is rotatably connected to the support plate 401. A receiving tray 403 is coaxially fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 402. The position of the receiving tray 403 corresponds to the position of the input port 12. Wheat flour put into the input port 12 will fall onto the receiving tray 403. A spreading port 404 is opened around the side of the receiving tray 403. A drive mechanism 3 is provided on the storage tank 1 to drive the connecting rod 402 to rotate.
[0029] The drive mechanism 3 includes a first motor 301 fixedly connected to the top of the storage container 1. A drive wheel 302 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 301. A driven wheel 303 is coaxially fixedly connected to the connecting rod 402. A belt 304 is fitted between the driven wheel 303 and the drive wheel 302. When the first motor 301 starts, it drives the drive wheel 302 to rotate. The drive wheel 302 drives the belt 304, which in turn drives the driven wheel 303 to rotate, thus driving the connecting rod 402. A protective box 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage container 1. The drive wheel 302, driven wheel 303, and belt 304 are all located inside the protective box 11, and the connecting rod 402 passes through the protective box 11. The protective box 11 provides surrounding protection for the drive wheel 302, driven wheel 303, and belt 304, reducing the impact of wheat flour on them.
[0030] It is important to note that, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first motor 301 and the connecting rod 402 achieve the transmission effect through many transmission components. Since the receiving tray 403 needs to be located at the lower end of the input port 12, if the output end of the first motor 301 is directly coaxially fixedly connected to the connecting rod 402, the installation of the first motor 301 will limit the size of the input port 12, thereby affecting the feeding speed. If a material cylinder is set on the input port 12 for guiding the material, the volume of the storage tank 1 will be reduced. Therefore, this implementation scheme is the preferred implementation scheme.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the vibration mechanism 5 includes a hopper 501, which is disposed inside the storage tank 1. A flexible silicone pad 503 is provided between the hopper 501 and the bottom of the storage tank 1. The bottom shape of the flexible silicone pad 503 is adapted to the shape of the bottom of the storage tank 1, and the top shape of the flexible silicone pad 503 is adapted to the bottom shape of the hopper 501. The flexible silicone pad 503 plays a buffering role, reducing the impact of vibration on the storage tank 1. The bottom opening of the hopper 501 is connected to the output port 8. A high-frequency vibrator 502 is fixedly installed on the hopper 501. The edge of the hopper 501 does not contact the inner wall of the storage tank 1, thereby avoiding friction between the hopper 501 and the inner wall of the storage tank 1. Multiple sets of vibration guide plates 504 are fixedly connected around the hopper 501, radiating outward from the center. The vibration guide plates 504 can expand the influence range of the vibration.
[0032] A material conveying mechanism 9 is provided on the output port 8. The material conveying mechanism 9 includes a guide cylinder 902 that communicates with the output port 8. A solenoid valve 10 is fixedly provided between the guide cylinder 902 and the output port 8. The solenoid valve 10 is used to control the flow state of the output port 8. A second motor 901 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide cylinder 902. A spiral plate 903 for conveying wheat flour is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 901.
[0033] The outer side of the storage container 1 is coated with barium sulfate to reduce the impact of radiation on the external environment. A transparent observation plate 13 is provided on one side of the storage container 1. The storage capacity range is marked on the transparent observation plate 13. By comparing the storage capacity range and observing the transparent observation plate 13, the storage condition can be determined.
[0034] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of this solution will now be explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios:
[0035] When wheat flour is fed into storage tank 1, it is fed through inlet 12. After passing through inlet 12, the wheat flour falls onto receiving tray 403. The first motor 301 is started, driving the drive wheel 302 to rotate. The drive wheel 302 drives the belt 304 to move, which in turn drives the driven wheel 303 to rotate, thus driving the connecting rod 402. The connecting rod 402 drives the receiving tray 403 to rotate, causing the wheat flour falling onto the receiving tray 403 to move in a circular motion. Under the action of centrifugal force, the wheat flour is thrown out of the sprinkling port 404, causing it to disperse and fall more evenly into storage tank 1, avoiding the situation of piling up in the middle and empty space around it, thus reducing the utilization rate of storage space. At the same time, the dispersion also facilitates the sterilization treatment of wheat flour by the irradiation generator 2, improving the sterilization effect. After the feeding operation is completed, the irradiation generator 2 is turned off to prevent the wheat flour from being irradiated for a long time, which would affect its quality.
[0036] When wheat flour is output, the high-frequency vibrator 502 vibrates, which drives the hopper 501 to vibrate. The flexible silicone pad 503 acts as a buffer to reduce the impact on the storage tank 1. The vibration of the hopper 501 will cause the wheat flour to fall into the output port 8. A vibration guide plate 504 is fixed on the hopper 501. The vibration guide plate 504 can expand the influence range of the vibration, improve the looseness of the wheat flour at the bottom of the storage tank 1, reduce the possibility of wheat flour clumping, and ensure the output effect.
[0037] When wheat flour is output, the solenoid valve 10 opens, and the wheat flour falls into the feed cylinder 902. The second motor 901 starts, driving the spiral plate 903 to rotate. The spiral plate 903 pushes the wheat flour towards the opening on one side, thereby realizing the conveying of wheat flour.
[0038] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
