[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention proposes an integrated device for soaking and draining soybeans, comprising an outer cylinder 1, an installation ring 2 inside the outer cylinder 1, an inner cylinder 3 inside the installation ring 2, and multiple drainage holes penetrating into the inner cylinder 3 on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3. A support and rotation mechanism 4 is provided on the inner side of the installation ring 2, and the installation ring 2 is connected to the inner cylinder 3 through the support and rotation mechanism 4. Four sets of lifting mechanisms 5 are evenly distributed on the outer side of the outer cylinder 1, and the outer cylinder 1 is connected to the installation ring 2 through the four sets of lifting mechanisms 5.

[0026] In this invention, the inner cylinder 3 holds the soybeans to be soaked, while the outer cylinder 1 holds the water. When the inner cylinder 3 enters the outer cylinder 1, the soybeans inside the inner cylinder 3 are immersed in water through the drainage holes. During soaking, the lifting mechanism 5 moves the mounting ring 2 up or down, and the supporting rotation mechanism 4 moves the inner cylinder 3 up or down, allowing it to enter or exit the water. This quickly separates the soybeans from the water after soaking, improving the soaking efficiency. After soaking and separation, the supporting rotation mechanism 4 rotates the inner cylinder 3, causing the soybeans inside to rotate. Under centrifugal force, the water on the surface of the soybeans quickly evaporates, further improving the drainage efficiency.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the supporting rotation mechanism 4 includes a rotating ring 41 rotatably connected to the inner side of the mounting ring 2. Four vertical rods 42 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating ring 41, and a cross plate 43 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the four vertical rods 42. The inner cylinder 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the rotating ring 41, and the bottom of the inner cylinder 3 contacts the top of the cross plate 43. A support assembly 44 is provided on the outer side of the rotating ring 41, a drive assembly 45 is provided at the bottom of the mounting ring 2, four sets of evenly distributed limiting assemblies 46 are provided on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3, and two symmetrically distributed handles 47 are provided on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3.

[0028] It should be noted that the inner cylinder 3 can be supported by the rotating ring 41, the four vertical rods 42, and the cross plate 43. At the same time, the drive assembly 45 can drive the cross plate 43 to rotate. Under the action of the four vertical rods 42, the cross plate 43 will drive the rotating ring 41 to rotate. Under the action of the limiting assembly 46, the rotating ring 41 and the cross plate 43 will drive the inner cylinder 3 to rotate, so that the soybeans inside the inner cylinder 3 will drain quickly under the action of centrifugal force. The support assembly 44 can ensure that the rotating ring 41 rotates stably inside the mounting ring 2.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the support assembly 44 includes a support ring groove 441 and a support ring block 442. The support ring groove 441 is formed inside the mounting ring 2, and the support ring block 442 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating ring 41. The support ring block 442 is slidably connected to the inside of the support ring groove 441.

[0030] It should be noted that the support ring groove 441 and the support ring block 442 can support the outer side of the rotating ring 41, ensuring that the rotating ring 41 can rotate stably inside the mounting ring 2 and preventing the rotating ring 41 from detaching from the mounting ring 2.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 45 includes two vertical plates 451, a base plate 452, a waterproof geared motor 453, and a rotating shaft 454. The two vertical plates 451 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting ring 2 and are symmetrically distributed. The base plate 452 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two vertical plates 451. The waterproof geared motor 453 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 452. The rotating shaft 454 is located on the output shaft of the waterproof geared motor 453 and extends to the top of the base plate 452. The top of the rotating shaft 454 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross plate 43.

[0032] It should be noted that the waterproof geared motor 453 can be installed through the two vertical plates 451 and the base plate 452. When the waterproof geared motor 453 is started, the output shaft of the waterproof geared motor 453 will drive the rotating shaft 454 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 454 will drive the cross plate 43 to rotate. Under the action of the support component 44 and the four vertical rods 42, the rotating ring 41 can be rotated.

[0033] In an optional embodiment, each of the four sets of limiting components 46 includes a limiting groove 461 and a limiting block 462. The limiting groove 461 is opened on the inner side of the rotating ring 41, and the top of the limiting groove 461 is connected to the outside. The limiting block 462 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the inner cylinder 3 and is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 461.

[0034] It should be noted that the inner cylinder 3 can be limited by the limiting groove 461 and the limiting block 462. When the rotating ring 41 rotates, the inner cylinder 3 will be driven to rotate by the limiting groove 461 and the limiting block 462.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, after the soybeans have been drained, the inner cylinder 3 can be removed directly from the rotating ring 41 by using the two handles 47 to facilitate the collection of soybeans inside the inner cylinder 3. When installing the inner cylinder 3, the four limiting blocks 462 need to be slidably connected to the inside of the four limiting grooves 461 to ensure that the rotating ring 41 can stably drive the inner cylinder 3 to rotate after the inner cylinder 3 is installed.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, each of the four lifting mechanisms 5 includes a mounting plate 51, a top plate 52, and a cylinder 53. The mounting plate 51 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the outer cylinder 1, the top plate 52 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting ring 2, and the cylinder 53 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 51. The piston rod of the cylinder 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 52.

[0037] It should be noted that when the cylinder 53 is started, the piston rod of the cylinder 53 will drive the top plate 52 to move up or down, and the top plate 52 will drive the mounting ring 2 to move up or down. Under the action of the supporting rotation mechanism 4, the mounting ring 2 will drive the inner cylinder 3 to move up or down. When the inner cylinder 3 moves down, it is convenient for the soybeans inside the inner cylinder 3 to be immersed in water. When the inner cylinder 3 moves up, it is convenient for the soybeans to be separated from the water.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the bottom of the outer cylinder 1 is connected to a water outlet pipe, and an electric valve is installed inside the water outlet pipe. Water inside the outer cylinder 1 can be discharged through the water outlet pipe. At the same time, when the soybeans have finished soaking and need to be separated from the water, the unqualified soybeans on the water surface need to be collected before the soybeans can be drained to avoid the unqualified soybeans affecting the production quality of the soybean products.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, four evenly distributed bases 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 1, and a controller is provided on the outside of the outer cylinder 1.

[0040] It should be noted that the outer cylinder 1 can be supported by the four bases 6, and the waterproof geared motor 453, cylinder 53 and electric valve are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller can control the waterproof geared motor 453, cylinder 53 and electric valve.

[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
