Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of konjac flour production, specifically to a konjac vermicelli processing and soaking device. Background Technology
[0002] In the processing of konjac noodles, dealkalization is a crucial step. Since konjac may contain alkaline substances during initial processing, these substances need to be removed through neutralization to ensure the quality and safety of the final product.
[0003] Existing methods for removing alkali typically involve soaking konjac noodles in an acidic solution to neutralize the alkaline substances through an acid-base neutralization reaction. The pre-processed konjac noodles are placed in a soaking tank containing the acidic solution. They are soaked in the acidic solution for a period of time to ensure a thorough acid-base neutralization reaction. After soaking, the konjac noodles are removed from the acidic solution and moved to a spray system for rinsing to remove residual acid and impurities.
[0004] After soaking, the konjac noodles need to be manually or mechanically transported to the spraying device, increasing operational complexity and labor intensity. This additional handling step is not only time-consuming but can also disrupt the production process, reducing overall efficiency. During handling, the konjac noodles may be contaminated by external factors, affecting product quality. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a konjac noodle processing soaking device includes a soaking tank 6. A sliding triangular feeding slide 2 is provided on one side of the top of the soaking tank 6. The triangular feeding slide 2 is used to guide the konjac noodles discharged from the discharge port 1 into the screen box 8 in the soaking tank 6.
[0027] The soaking tank 6 is provided with a support frame 9 on the outside. The top of the support frame 9 is provided with a sliding plate 11. Below the sliding plate 11 is a lifting plate 14. The top two sides of the screen box 8 are hinged to the lifting plate 14. The sliding plate 11 is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the screen box 8 to flip and discharge material from the discharge slide plate 7.
[0028] The soaking tank 6 contains soaking solution, which is automatically pumped and replenished according to the liquid level. The triangular feeding slide 2 slides into the top of the soaking tank 6, connecting the discharge port 1 and the screen box 8. The filtered konjac noodles are discharged from the discharge port 1 and enter the screen box 8, where they are immersed in the soaking solution in the soaking tank 6. After soaking, the lifting plate 14 is driven to rise, causing the screen box 8 to detach from the soaking tank 6 and filter out excess soaking solution. Then, the sliding plate 11 is driven to move the screen box 8 to the top of the discharge slide 7, and the drive mechanism drives the screen box 8 to flip and discharge, so that the soaked konjac noodles are transferred from the discharge slide 7 to the next process. This completes the entire process of konjac noodles from feeding, soaking to discharging, greatly improving processing efficiency and product quality.
[0029] Preferably, a support base 5 is fixed on one side of the soaking tank 6, and the bottom sides of the triangular feeding slide plate 2 slide against the support base 5 through the first sliding mechanism 3. A first pushing mechanism 4 is fixed on one side of the support base 5, and the end of the pushing rod of the first pushing mechanism 4 is fixed on the triangular feeding slide plate 2.
[0030] The first pushing mechanism 4 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, selected based on the site conditions. The first sliding mechanism 3 consists of a slider and a slide rail, ensuring smooth sliding of the triangular feeding slide plate 2. The first pushing mechanism 4 drives the triangular feeding slide plate 2 to move above the screen box 8, guiding the konjac noodles discharged from the outlet 1 into the screen box 8. Then, the triangular feeding slide plate 2 returns without affecting the upward rotation of the screen box 8. The entire process is highly automated, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving production efficiency. It not only enhances the accuracy and stability of material transfer during konjac noodle processing but also significantly improves the overall efficiency of the production line.
[0031] Preferably, a second sliding mechanism 12 is provided between the two ends of the sliding plate 11 and the support frame 9, and a lead screw 13 is provided between the two ends of the second sliding mechanism 12. The two ends of the lead screw 13 are rotated against the support frame 9 through bearing seats. A first motor 17 is provided at the end of the lead screw 13 and connected thereto. The first motor 17 is fixed on the support frame 9.
[0032] The bottom of the sliding plate 11 is fixedly provided with an ear plate, and a threaded sleeve is fixedly provided on the ear plate. The threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13.
[0033] The second sliding mechanism 12 consists of a slider and a slide rail, ensuring smooth sliding of the sliding plate 11. The first motor 17 drives the lead screw 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding plate 11 to slide through the lead sleeve. This improves the accuracy and efficiency of material transfer during konjac vermicelli processing and significantly enhances the overall performance and reliability of the production line.
[0034] Preferably, a second pushing mechanism 10 and a guide column 16 are provided between the lifting plate 14 and the sliding plate 11, with the guide column 16 located on both sides of the second pushing mechanism 10;
[0035] The end of the push rod of the second push mechanism 10 is fixed on the lifting plate 14, and the end of the cylinder is fixed on the sliding plate 11.
[0036] One end of the guide column 16 is fixed to the lifting plate 14, and the other end slides against the sliding plate 11 through the sliding sleeve.
[0037] The second pushing mechanism 10 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or an electric push rod, selected based on the site conditions. The second pushing mechanism 10 drives the lifting plate 14 to move up and down, and the cooperation between the guide column 16 and the sliding sleeve ensures smooth and stable movement. Through precise mechanical transmission and automated control technology, the screen box achieves stable up-and-down movement and precise positioning, allowing the konjac noodles to complete soaking and subsequent processing under optimal conditions.
[0038] Preferably, hinge seats are fixed at the bottom of both ends of the lifting plate 14, and protruding ear plates are fixed on both sides of the top of the screen box 8. A pin is fixed on one side of the ear plate, and the pin rotates against the hinge seat through a bearing.
[0039] A second motor 18 is fixed on the lifting plate 14, and the output shaft of the second motor 18 is connected to a pin at one end through a transmission mechanism 15.
[0040] The transmission mechanism 15 consists of a sprocket and a chain, with the sprocket fixed to the output shaft and pin shaft of the second motor 18, respectively.
[0041] The second motor 18 and the transmission mechanism 15 drive the screen box 8 to rotate as a whole, thereby allowing the konjac noodles inside the screen box 8 to be poured out and transferred from the discharge slide plate 7 to the next process. Through precise mechanical transmission and automated control technology, the screen box can be smoothly rotated and accurately positioned, enabling the konjac noodles to complete soaking, filtering and pouring processes under optimal conditions.
[0042] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
