Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of anti-clogging devices, and in particular to an anti-clogging device for a corn germ meal slurry storage tank. Background Technology
[0002] In feed processing, bio-fermentation, and other fields, corn germ meal slurry is an important raw material or intermediate product, and its storage and processing have a critical impact on production efficiency and product quality. Storage tanks, as temporary storage devices for corn germ meal slurry, need to ensure uniform mixing of the slurry, prevent sediment buildup, and facilitate slurry drainage and cleaning / maintenance.
[0003] Existing corn germ meal slurry storage tanks have several problems during use. Firstly, traditional stirring methods struggle to achieve thorough mixing of the slurry and sediment, leading to sediment accumulation at the bottom of the tank, affecting discharge flow, easily causing outlet blockage, and increasing cleaning costs and downtime. Secondly, once the residual slurry on the inner wall of the storage tank dries, manual cleaning is not only inefficient but also requires workers to enter the confined space of the tank, which may contain harmful gases, posing significant safety hazards. To address these technical problems, this application proposes an anti-clogging device for corn germ meal slurry storage tanks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an anti-clogging device for a corn germ meal slurry storage tank. A motor drives a stirring shaft to agitate the corn germ meal slurry and sediment within the storage tank, ensuring uniform mixing and preventing sediment buildup and blockage of the discharge port. Simultaneously, a rotating auger ensures smooth discharge. Furthermore, a second motor drives a winding roller, adjusting the nozzle angle and position to automatically flush away residue from the inner wall of the storage tank.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A device for preventing clogging in a corn germ meal slurry storage tank includes a storage tank. A protective shell is fixedly connected to the top side of the storage tank. An electric slide rail is fixedly connected to the top side of the protective shell. A slider is provided on the outer wall of the electric slide rail. A nozzle is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slider. Two winding rollers are rotatably connected to the top side of the slider. The outer walls of the two winding rollers are connected by a gear set. A transmission rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell. A stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the protective shell. The top end of the stirring shaft is connected to the transmission rod through a linkage assembly. A receiving hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the storage tank. An auger is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving hopper. The rear end of the auger is connected to the transmission rod through a linkage assembly.
[0007] Furthermore, the gear set includes a transmission gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding roller, with adjacent transmission gears meshing together, and the outer wall of the winding roller is connected to the nozzle via a traction rope.
[0008] Furthermore, a second motor is mounted on the top side of the slider via a fixing frame, and the drive end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the winding rollers.
[0009] Furthermore, the linkage assembly includes a worm gear fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod, a turbine fixedly connected to the top end of the stirring shaft, and the turbine and the worm gear are meshed together.
[0010] Furthermore, the second linkage component includes a sprocket fixedly connected to the transmission rod and the rear end of the auger, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain.
[0011] Furthermore, a motor is mounted on the outer wall of the storage tank via a fixing frame, and the drive end of the motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod.
[0012] Furthermore, the stirring shaft is disposed on the inner wall of the storage tank for stirring the sediment therein.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. In this invention, a motor drives a transmission rod to rotate, and the meshing of a worm gear and a turbine drives a stirring shaft to agitate the corn germ meal slurry and its sediment in the storage tank, ensuring uniform mixing. The agitated slurry and sediment are then effectively discharged from the storage tank by the rotation of the auger. The auger's rotation is achieved through the linkage of a sprocket and chain, providing stable power output and preventing sediment accumulation that could clog the discharge port, thus ensuring a smooth discharge process.
[0015] 2. In this invention, when the inner wall of the storage tank needs to be cleaned, a second motor drives a winding roller to rotate. Through the meshing of transmission gears, another winding roller rotates synchronously, winding a traction rope and pulling the nozzle along the outer wall of the slider. The nozzle angle and position can be automatically adjusted. Combined with an external water pipe, it thoroughly rinses and cleans the residue on the inner wall of the storage tank, eliminating the need for manual entry into the tank and greatly improving cleaning efficiency and safety.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an anti-clogging device for a corn germ meal slurry storage tank, comprising a storage tank 1, a protective shell 2 fixedly connected to the top side of the storage tank 1, an electric slide rail 3 fixedly connected to the top side of the protective shell 2, a slider 4 provided on the outer wall of the electric slide rail 3, a nozzle 15 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the slider 4, two winding rollers 11 rotatably connected to the top side of the slider 4, and a transmission gear 12 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the winding rollers 11, with adjacent transmission gears 12 meshing with each other. The outer wall of the winding rollers 11 is connected to the nozzle 15 via a traction rope 14, and the top side of the slider 4 is connected to the nozzle 15 via a traction rope 14. A motor 13 is mounted on a fixed frame. The drive end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one of the winding rollers 11. A transmission rod 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 2. A stirring shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom side of the protective shell 2. A worm gear 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 6. A turbine 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring shaft 10. The turbine 17 and the worm gear 16 are meshed. A receiving hopper 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the storage tank 1. An auger 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving hopper 7. A sprocket 8 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the transmission rod 6 and the auger 18. The two sprockets 8 are connected by a chain 9.
[0023] Specifically, in the storage process of corn germ meal slurry, the slurry is first stored in storage tank 1. When sediment appears in storage tank 1, causing poor discharge, motor 5 is started, driving transmission rod 6 to rotate. Since the worm gear 16 on the outer wall of transmission rod 6 meshes with the turbine 17, it drives the stirring shaft 10 to rotate, stirring the corn germ meal slurry and sediment in storage tank 1 to ensure uniform mixing and facilitate subsequent discharge. Simultaneously, the rotating transmission rod 6, through the linkage of sprocket 8 and chain 9, drives auger 18 to rotate inside receiving hopper 7. The rotation of auger 18 effectively discharges the stirred corn germ meal slurry and sediment from storage tank 1, achieving smooth discharge. When cleaning the inner wall of storage tank 1 is required, a water pipe is connected to nozzle 15, and motor 2 13 is started. Motor 2 13 drives winding roller 11 to rotate, and through the meshing of transmission gears 12, drives another winding roller 11 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the winding roller 11 winds the traction rope 14, thereby pulling the nozzle 15 to move along the outer wall of the slider 4. Adjusting the angle of the nozzle 15, together with the electric slide rail 3, enables it to thoroughly rinse and clean the residue on the inner wall of the storage tank 1.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-3 A motor 5 is mounted on the outer wall of the storage tank 1 via a fixed frame. The drive end of the motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 6. The stirring shaft 10 is set on the inner wall of the storage tank 1 for stirring the sediment therein.
[0025] Specifically, a motor 5 is mounted on the outer wall of storage tank 1 via a fixed frame, and the drive end of motor 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of transmission rod 6. A worm gear 16 is provided on the outer wall of transmission rod 6, and meshes with a turbine 17 on stirring shaft 10. Stirring shaft 10 is located on the inner wall of storage tank 1 and is used to stir the sediment within storage tank 1. When motor 5 starts, it drives transmission rod 6 to rotate, and through the meshing of worm gear 16 and turbine 17, it drives stirring shaft 10 to rotate, thereby achieving the stirring effect on the sediment within storage tank 1.
[0026] Working principle: Corn germ meal slurry is stored in storage tank 1. When sedimentation occurs and affects the discharge, motor 5 is started to control the rotation of transmission rod 6. The worm gear 16 and turbine 17 on the outer wall of transmission rod 6 mesh to control the rotation of stirring shaft 10, stirring the corn germ meal slurry and sediment inside storage tank 1. The rotating transmission rod 6, through the linkage between sprocket 8 and chain 9, controls the rotation of auger 18 inside receiving hopper 7, thus discharging the corn germ meal slurry and sediment. At the same time, when it is necessary to clean the inner wall of storage tank 1, a water pipe is connected to nozzle 15, and motor 2 is started to control the rotation of winding roller 11. Through the meshing of transmission gear 12, another winding roller 11 is controlled to rotate, winding traction rope 14, pulling nozzle 15 to rotate on the outer wall of slider 4, adjusting the angle of nozzle 15. With the help of electric slide rail 3, the residue on the inner wall of storage tank 1 is cleaned.
