Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the production and processing of glutinous corn, vacuum-packed glutinous corn accounts for a large proportion. The shelf life of vacuum-packed glutinous corn is a crucial indicator. To ensure a good shelf life, it is essential to: 1) select glutinous corn cobs with suitable maturity; 2) manage the blanching process effectively; and 3) maintain the vacuum level. The production speed and temperature stability of the blanching water are critical factors. Glutinous corn cobs, due to their density, float in the water, leading to uneven blanching and affecting the quality. The conveyor bearings must be kept away from the blanching water to prevent contamination and off-flavors. However, current glutinous corn blanching machines lack automatic temperature control, making precise and stable temperature regulation impossible. A new type of glutinous corn blanching machine is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

A passive roller shaft 402 bearing 401 is installed on the passive roller 402 bearing 401. A passive roller shaft 402 is connected in the middle of the passive roller shaft 402 bearing 401, and the passive roller shaft 402 is installed on the passive roller gear 403. A second conveyor 5 chain track is installed on the second conveyor 5 and welded to the steel frame 301 of the blanching machine. A mesh pusher 505 is installed on the second conveyor 5 chain track. The two ends of the second conveyor 5 chain track are respectively sleeved on the second conveyor 5 drive gear and the second conveyor 5 passive roller gear. The second conveyor 5 drive gear and the second conveyor 5 driven roller gear 403 are symmetrically distributed on the wheel 403. The middle of the second conveyor 5 drive gear and the second conveyor 5 driven roller shaft 402 are respectively connected through the second conveyor 5 drive shaft and the second conveyor 5 driven roller shaft 402. The two ends of the second conveyor 5 drive shaft and the second conveyor 5 driven roller shaft 402 are respectively rotatably connected through the second conveyor 5 bearing and the second conveyor 5 driven roller shaft 402 bearing 401.

[0021] In this embodiment, the glutinous corn sticks are positioned between two conveyor belts, allowing them to be fully immersed in hot water for blanching. This ensures that the glutinous corn sticks are in complete and thorough contact with the blanching water, and the circulating water pump 3010 ensures that the blanching water is fully circulated.
[0022] Example 2
[0023] refer to Figure 1 Example 2 is a further description of Example 1. It includes a water supply pipe 304, a drain outlet 306, and a drain pipe 307 of the rinsing machine, which are installed sequentially at the steel frame 301 and the water tank 303 of the rinsing machine. The water supply pipe 304 is connected to the circulating water pump 3010. A steam distribution pipe 309 is installed on the water tank 303 of the rinsing machine. A steam supply pipe 305 is installed on the steam distribution pipe 309. A matching steam solenoid valve 3011 is installed on the steam supply pipe 305. The steam distribution pipe 309 is connected to the exhaust pipe 308 of the rinsing machine. A temperature sensor 3012 for measuring temperature is installed inside the steel frame 301 of the rinsing machine.
[0024] In this embodiment, the glutinous corn blanching machine is equipped with automatic temperature control, which makes the temperature precise and stable. The water in the blanching machine is circulated by a 3010 circulating water pump, so that the water temperature in the blanching tank is consistent throughout and throughout.
[0025] In practical applications, during the blanching process, water is first added to the blanching tank, and the steam supply valve is opened. When the water temperature rises to the blanching temperature, the temperature is automatically adjusted by the temperature measuring and steam supply solenoid valves. The feeding conveyor is then started to supply material to the blanching machine. The two conveyors of the blanching machine are then activated, allowing the glutinous corn cobs to fall onto the inlet end of the first conveyor belt. The corn cobs then move forward between the two conveyor belts, ensuring they are fully immersed in the hot water for blanching. This allows for complete and thorough contact between the corn cobs and the blanching water. A circulating water pump 3010 ensures the blanching water is fully circulated, achieving the desired blanching effect. As the corn cobs move forward with the conveyor belt to the outlet of the blanching machine, the first conveyor belt and the corn cobs gradually rise above the water surface, causing the corn cobs to detach from the blanching tank and be rinsed with water. As the conveyor belt continues forward, the corn cobs reach the end of the conveyor belt and slide onto another conveyor for transport to the next stage.
[0026] The new blanching machine uses automatic temperature control to ensure precise and stable blanching water temperature. A water pump circulation system ensures a large flow of blanching water and stable temperature, resulting in high-quality blanching of glutinous corn cobs. A conveyor system ensures consistent blanching time and a stable feed quantity. The blanching tank is insulated with 302 heat-insulating board, maintaining the water temperature for a long time. An overflow outlet ensures stable water level. An extended steam distribution pipe inside the tank ensures even temperature rise. The conveyor bearings are placed on the outside of the tank to prevent lubricant contamination of the blanching water. A drain outlet at the bottom of the blanching tank facilitates easy cleaning and drainage.
