Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of potato production technology, and in particular to a dehydration device for potato starch production. Background Technology

[0002] Dehydration is a crucial step in potato starch production. The effectiveness of dehydration directly impacts starch quality and subsequent processing. Currently, existing potato starch dehydration equipment has several shortcomings in practical applications. Firstly, some dehydration devices have low dehydration efficiency. Traditional dehydration methods often require a long time to achieve the desired level of dehydration, which not only extends the production cycle but also limits the scale of production. For example, some devices relying on natural drainage or simple extrusion cannot quickly and effectively separate moisture from the starch. Secondly, the moisture content of the dehydrated starch is uneven. Due to unreasonable internal structural design, different parts of the starch experience inconsistent dehydration during the process, resulting in some parts of the starch being overly dry while others still contain a lot of moisture. This causes numerous inconveniences for subsequent drying and packaging processes, affecting the stability of product quality.

[0003] Some existing dehydration devices are difficult to clean. After long-term use, a large amount of starch and impurities will remain inside the device. If it is not cleaned thoroughly in time, bacteria will grow, affecting the quality of the starch, and it may also lead to accelerated wear of the device components, shortening the service life of the device.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides a dehydration device for potato starch production, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This potato starch production dehydration device, through the setting of the cleaning mechanism, activates a pump on one side when cleaning the inside of the dehydration cylinder. The pump delivers water from the water tank to several atomizing nozzles through a hose. The atomizing nozzles clean the bottom filter cylinder and the inside of the dehydration cylinder from directly above the filter cylinder. After cleaning, the water is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the dehydration cylinder. This achieves the effect of conveniently cleaning the inside of the dehydration cylinder, avoiding the accumulation of large amounts of starch and impurities inside the device. If not cleaned in time and thoroughly, bacteria will grow and the quality of the starch will be affected.

[0017] 2. This potato starch production dehydration device, through the design of the dehydration mechanism and stirring rod, operates by opening the sealed cover, placing the material inside, and then closing the sealed cover. The drive motor inside the motor housing at the bottom of the worktable is then activated. The drive motor rotates the top filter cylinder inside the dehydration cylinder, forcing water out of the material through the filter cylinder's mesh, achieving initial dehydration. Simultaneously, the stirring rod installed at the bottom of the sealed cover also begins to function, its blades continuously agitating the material, creating a circulating flow within the filter cylinder. This helps break up material agglomerates, allowing more water to come into contact with the filter cylinder's mesh, thus improving dehydration efficiency. Furthermore, it ensures uniform dehydration across all parts of the material, preventing localized over- or under-dehydration. Attached Figure Description

A sealing cover 3 is inserted into the surface of the dehydration cylinder 1, and a cleaning mechanism 4 is threaded to the bottom of the sealing cover 3. The cleaning mechanism 4 facilitates cleaning of the inside of the dehydration cylinder 1. To prevent a large amount of starch and impurities from remaining inside the device, which could breed bacteria and affect starch quality if not cleaned thoroughly in time, a stirring rod 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the sealing cover 3. The dehydration mechanism 2 includes a filter cylinder 201 rotatably connected inside the dehydration cylinder 1. A drive motor 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter cylinder 201, and a motor housing 203 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive motor 202. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes an annular flow plate 401 threadedly connected to the bottom of the sealing cover 3. Several atomizing nozzles 402 are connected through the bottom of the annular flow plate 401, and a hose 403 is connected through the top of the annular flow plate 401. A pump body 404 is connected through one side of the hose 403.

[0025] The input end of the pump body 404 is connected to the water tank 6 through a pipe. The bottom of the water tank 6 is fixedly connected to the workbench 7, which serves to support the water tank 6.

[0026] The motor housing 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the workbench 7, and the dewatering cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the workbench 7. The dewatering cylinder 1 is used to perform dewatering.

[0027] The top of the water tank 6 is provided with a water inlet 8, and the side of the water tank 6 is provided with a scale line 9. The water inlet 8 serves to inject water.

[0028] A hydraulic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing cover 3. A gantry frame 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the hydraulic rod 14. The gantry frame 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the workbench 7. The gantry frame 10 serves to support the sealing cover 3.

[0031] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0032] First step: When cleaning the inside of the dehydration cylinder 1, start the pump body 404 on one side. The pump body 404 delivers the water source inside the water tank 6 to several atomizing nozzles 402 through the hose 403. The atomizing nozzles 402 clean the bottom filter cylinder 201 and the inside of the dehydration cylinder 1 from directly above the filter cylinder 201. After cleaning, the water is discharged from the outlet at the bottom of the dehydration cylinder 1.

Then close the sealing cover 3 and start the drive motor 202 inside the motor box 203 at the bottom of the workbench 7. The drive motor 202 drives the filter cylinder 201 at the top to rotate inside the dewatering cylinder 1, which throws the water in the material out through the mesh of the filter cylinder 201 to achieve preliminary dewatering. At the same time, the stirring rod 5 installed at the bottom of the sealing cover 3 also begins to play its role. The stirring blades continuously turn the material, so that the material forms a circulation flow in the filter cylinder 201.
