Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a corn sorting technology device, and more specifically to a corn screening and embryo sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the corn deep processing industry, corn germ screening is a crucial step. Its purpose is to effectively separate the germ from other parts of the corn to obtain high-purity corn germ for subsequent processing, such as the production of corn oil.

[0003] Most existing corn germ screening devices employ traditional sieve plate screening technology. However, these devices have revealed numerous problems in practical applications. Among them, sieve clogging is particularly prominent. Because corn raw materials contain various impurities, such as corn husks and fragments, these impurities easily adhere to the sieve holes during screening, leading to clogging. Silo clogging not only significantly reduces screening efficiency, slowing down the separation of corn germ and affecting production progress, but also reduces the accuracy of germ selection, resulting in low purity corn germ containing more impurities, thus affecting the quality of subsequent products. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corn screening and germ selection device that can promptly clean impurities clogging the screen holes, ensure unobstructed screen holes, and maintain screening efficiency and accuracy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

An airflow cleaning mechanism and a displacement drive mechanism for driving the airflow cleaning mechanism to move horizontally are provided below each of the primary, secondary, and tertiary screening plates. The airflow cleaning mechanism includes a base, and multiple air nozzles are provided on the upper surface of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the displacement driving mechanism includes a lead screw rotatably disposed on one side of the frame, a lead screw motor for driving the lead screw to rotate is mounted on the frame, one end of the base is threadedly connected to the lead screw, a guide rod is fixedly disposed on the other side of the frame, and the other end of the base is slidably sleeved on the guide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the base has a cavity, the air nozzle is connected to the cavity, and a telescopic hose connected to the cavity is provided on one side of the base. The telescopic hose is connected to an external air source.

[0009] Furthermore, the primary screening plate, the secondary screening plate, and the tertiary screening plate are all inclined upwards, and the discharge guide plate is located at the higher end of the primary screening plate, the secondary screening plate, and the tertiary screening plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a flow regulating valve is installed on the feed pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, a protective cover is provided above the frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention features an airflow cleaning mechanism and a displacement driving mechanism below each screening plate. The airflow cleaning mechanism's nozzles can spray airflow onto the screening plate to promptly remove impurities clogging the screen holes, ensuring unobstructed screen holes and maintaining screening efficiency and accuracy.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a corn screening and germ selection device includes a frame 1. A primary screening plate 2, a secondary screening plate 3, and a tertiary screening plate 4 are sequentially arranged at an angle from top to bottom on the frame 1. The aperture 5 of the screens 5 of the primary screening plate 2, secondary screening plate 3, and tertiary screening plate 4 decreases sequentially. A mounting frame 6 is provided at one end of the frame 1, and a feed hopper 7 is provided on the mounting frame 6. A feed pipe 8 is connected to the discharge port of the feed hopper 7. A discharge guide plate 9 is provided at the end of each of the primary screening plate 2, secondary screening plate 3, and tertiary screening plate 4 away from the feed hopper 7. A support leg 10 is provided at the bottom of the frame 1, and a vibration spring 11 is connected between the support leg 10 and the frame 1. A vibration motor 12 is provided on one side of the frame 1. An airflow cleaning mechanism and a displacement drive mechanism for driving the airflow cleaning mechanism to move horizontally are provided below each of the primary screening plate 2, secondary screening plate 3, and tertiary screening plate 4. The airflow cleaning mechanism includes a base 13, and multiple air nozzles 14 are provided on the upper surface of the base 13.

[0020] The displacement driving mechanism includes a lead screw 15 rotatably disposed on one side of the frame 1, a lead screw motor 16 for driving the lead screw 15 to rotate is mounted on the frame 1, one end of the base 13 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 15, a guide rod 17 is fixedly disposed on the other side of the frame 1, and the other end of the base 13 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 17.

[0021] The base 13 has a cavity 18, and the air nozzle 14 is connected to the cavity 18. A telescopic hose 19 is provided on one side of the base 13, which is connected to the cavity 18 and is connected to an external air source.

[0022] The primary screening plate 2, the secondary screening plate 3, and the tertiary screening plate 4 are all inclined upwards, and the discharge guide plate 9 is located at the higher end of the primary screening plate 2, the secondary screening plate 3, and the tertiary screening plate 4.

[0023] A flow regulating valve 20 is installed on the feed pipe 8.

[0024] A protective cover is installed above the frame 1.

[0025] Working principle:

[0026] Corn enters the feed pipe 8 from the feed hopper 7. After the feed flow rate is controlled by the flow regulating valve 20, it falls onto the primary screening plate 2. The vibrating motor 12 drives the frame 1 and the screen plate to vibrate, causing the corn to flow and tumble on the screen plate. The screen holes 5 of the primary screening plate 2 have a large diameter, which can screen out larger impurities, such as corn cob fragments and long corn husks. Some corn germ, smaller corn kernels, endosperm fragments, and fine impurities will fall through the screen holes 5 to the secondary screening plate 3. The secondary screening plate 3 has a moderate diameter, which further screens out medium-sized impurities, such as some corn husks and slightly larger endosperm fragments. After the secondary screening, the remaining corn germ, smaller endosperm particles, and a small amount of fine impurities will fall to the tertiary screening plate 4. The tertiary screening plate 4 has the smallest diameter, which performs fine screening. At this time, most of the impurities have been separated. This screen plate mainly separates the corn germ from the remaining extremely small endosperm particles and other fine impurities, and finally obtains high-purity corn germ. Throughout the screening process, the base 13, driven by the lead screw motor 16, moves horizontally along the lead screw 15 and guide rod 17. The air nozzle 14 draws airflow from an external air source through the telescopic hose 19 and sprays it onto the screen plate to clear various impurities clogging the screen holes 5, such as corn husk fibers and endosperm powder, ensuring that the screen holes 5 are unobstructed. Different materials after screening, such as impurities screened out at each stage and the final corn germ, are discharged from the corresponding discharge guide plates 9.

[0027] This invention can promptly clear screen hole blockages through an airflow cleaning mechanism and a displacement driving mechanism, ensuring the normal operation of the screen plate, reducing efficiency and accuracy reduction caused by blockages, and improving the stability and reliability of the device.
