Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing, and in particular to a soaking tank for wet processing of corn starch. Background Technology

[0002] Corn starch, also known as maize starch or corn flour, is a white powder with a slight yellowish tinge. It is made by soaking corn in 0.3% sulfurous acid, followed by crushing, sieving, sedimentation, drying, and grinding. Ordinary products contain small amounts of fat and protein. In wet processing, corn starch needs to be soaked first. However, in conventional soaking tanks, some shriveled corn kernels float to the surface, resulting in poor soaking and making it difficult to press the corn kernels before soaking.

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, a solution is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soaking tank for wet processing of corn starch to solve the aforementioned technical defects.

[0006] A corn starch wet processing soaking tank includes a soaking tank, an installation frame placed on the outside of the soaking tank, and a soaking pressing mechanism placed inside the soaking tank. The soaking pressing mechanism includes a placement frame, and a rotating plate rotatably connected to the bottom of the placement frame. An electric push rod is fixedly installed on the top of the installation frame by bolts, and a fixing plate is fixed after the drive shaft of the electric push rod passes through the installation frame.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the soaking tank is funnel-shaped, the bottom of the soaking tank has a water outlet, and a water inlet valve is provided on the upper side of one side of the soaking tank. The water inlet valve is fixedly connected to the soaking tank through a pipe, and the water inlet valve communicates with the inside of the soaking tank.

[0008] Preferably, each end of the placement frame is provided with a fixedly connected extension plate, and each adjacent end of the extension plate is provided with a fixedly connected stop block by welding. Each extension plate is provided with a slidingly connected plug on its outer side.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the plug is inserted into the extension plate and located below the rotating plate, and a telescopic spring is fixedly connected between the plug and the extension plate.

[0010] Preferably, an extension block is fixedly welded to the top of each end of the placement frame, and a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the extension block by bolts. A limiting block is fixedly mounted on the top of the limiting rod, and a telescopic spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the second telescopic spring is fixedly connected to the top of the extension block, the upper end of the first limiting rod passes through the fixed plate, and the limiting block at the top of the first limiting rod is also located above the fixed plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, this utility model is a soaking tank for wet processing of corn starch, including a soaking tank 1. The bottom of the soaking tank 1 is funnel-shaped to facilitate the drainage of the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 1. A water outlet 11 is provided at the bottom of the soaking tank 1. A water inlet valve 12 is provided on the upper side of one side of the soaking tank 1. The water inlet valve 12 is fixedly connected to the soaking tank 1 through a pipe. The water inlet valve 12 communicates with the inside of the soaking tank 1. An installation bracket 13 is placed on the outside of the soaking tank 1.

[0025] The soaking tank 1 is also equipped with a soaking pressing mechanism 2. The soaking pressing mechanism 2 includes a placement frame 21. Both ends of the placement frame 21 are provided with fixedly connected extension plates 22. The adjacent ends of the extension plates 22 are provided with fixedly connected stops 23 by welding. The bottom of the placement frame 21 is also provided with a rotating plate 24 that is rotatably connected. The outer side of the extension plates 22 is provided with slidably connected plugs 25. One end of the plug 25 is inserted into the extension plate 22 and located below the rotating plate 24, thereby limiting the rotation plate 24. A telescopic spring 26 is fixedly connected between the plug 25 and the extension plate 22. When there is no external force pulling the plug 25, the elastic force of the telescopic spring 26 pushes the plug 25 toward the rotating plate 24, thereby limiting the rotation plate 24.

[0026] Both ends of the placement frame 21 are fixedly equipped with extension blocks 27 by welding. The upper part of the extension blocks 27 is fixedly connected with a limiting rod 28 by bolts. The top of the limiting rod 28 is fixedly equipped with a limiting block. The outer side of the limiting rod 28 is also fitted with a telescopic spring 29. The bottom of the telescopic spring 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension blocks 27. An electric push rod 30 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the mounting bracket 13 by bolts.

[0027] The drive shaft of the electric push rod 30 passes through the mounting bracket 13 and is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 31. The upper end of the first limiting rod 28 passes through the fixing plate 31, and the limiting block at the top of the first limiting rod 28 is also located above the fixing plate 31. The second limiting rod 32 is symmetrically distributed above the fixing plate 31. The upper end of the second limiting rod 32 passes through the mounting bracket 13 and is slidably connected to the mounting bracket 13. The bottom of the fixing plate 31 is also fixedly mounted with a pressure plate 33 by bolts. The outer sides of the placement frame 21, the rotating plate 24 and the pressure plate 33 are all provided with arrayed water passage holes.

[0028] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0029] In use, the corn kernels to be soaked are first placed inside the placement frame 21. At this time, the plug 25 limits the rotation plate 24. Then, the soaking solution is added into the soaking tank 1 through the water inlet valve 12. After the soaking solution is injected, the electric push rod 30 is started. The electric push rod 30 drives the fixed plate 31 to move downward. When the fixed plate 31 moves downward, it drives the pressure plate 33 to move downward synchronously with the placement frame 21 until the extension plate 22 at the bottom of the placement frame 21 touches the bottom. At this time, the fixed plate 31 and the pressure plate 33 continue to move downward under the action of the electric push rod 30 until the pressure plate 33 is pressed into the interior of the placement frame 21, thereby pressing the floating corn kernels in the placement frame 21 into the soaking solution for soaking.

[0030] After soaking, the electric push rod 30 is activated to lift the pressure plate 33 and the placement frame 21. At this time, the plug 25 in the extension plate 22 is pulled out, and the rotating plate 24 rotates downward under the action of gravity, thereby opening the bottom of the placement frame 21. At this time, the corn kernels in the placement frame 21 roll out to one side through the rotating plate 24, thus completing the feeding operation of the soaked corn kernels.
