Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of agricultural crop processing and production equipment, specifically, it relates to a mixing and bearing device for a grain moistening machine. Background Technology
[0002] In 2023, the national output of large-scale baijiu enterprises reached 4.492 million kiloliters, a year-on-year decrease of 2.8%, while Guizhou baijiu production bucked the trend for two consecutive years, with a growth rate of 6.5%. In the baijiu production process, the grain moistening process is a crucial step before steaming to ensure uniform cooking and full gelatinization of the raw materials. This involves adding high-temperature water and manually stirring to accelerate the even absorption of water by the sorghum, promoting starch gelatinization. Therefore, the grain moistening process is the first critical step to ensure the normal operation of the entire production process. Consequently, the grain moistening machine is a key piece of equipment for ensuring processing quality, and the performance of its core component, the mixing and bearing device, directly affects the moistening effect and processing efficiency. [The last sentence appears to be incomplete and possibly refers to a technical issue: "movement or even deviation."]
[0003] From the perspective of structural stability, traditional load-bearing devices provide relatively simple support for the silo. During the tumbling and mixing process, swaying can easily occur, leading to uneven grain wetting and affecting the quality of subsequent processing. For example, the lack of an effective supporting structure results in poor silo stability during operation, preventing the grain from being fully and evenly mixed and moistened within the silo. Utility Model Content

The front bracket at the end of the bottom bracket cooperates with the hopper's tumbling and provides sliding support, making its operation more stable. Simultaneously, it provides an installation position for a pneumatic ultrasonic generator. The pneumatic ultrasonic generator uses ultrasound supplemented by vacuum to produce a synergistic effect, allowing the sorghum to absorb the moistening water into the grains more efficiently and quickly, promoting uniform water absorption and expansion of starch molecules. Protective bars on both sides are used to hold and fix the water-vapor separator, facilitating its installation.

[0011] Furthermore, the water vapor separation device is fixedly connected to the bottom bracket and located at the bottom of the silo.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower bracket includes a trapezoidal base and a support platform.
[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting a trapezoidal base to support the weight of the drive mechanism and the pneumatic ultrasonic generator, and by using a support platform to install and fix the pneumatic ultrasonic generator.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom end of the trapezoidal base is welded and fixed to the base bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, reinforcing horizontal steel bars are provided on both sides of the bottom of the trapezoidal base, and the reinforcing horizontal steel bars are fixedly connected to the connecting ears on the outside of the trapezoidal base by bolts.
[0016] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned improvement scheme are as follows: by setting up reinforcing horizontal steel, the load-bearing strength of the bottom support is enhanced, making it able to bear greater weight, with a more stable structure, and maintaining the stability of the hopper's tumbling.
[0017] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a motor and a reducer. The drive mechanism is fixedly installed via a motor mount. The top of the motor mount is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support platform by bolts, and the bottom of the motor mount is fixedly connected to the top of the trapezoidal base by bolts. The bottom of the trapezoidal base is welded and fixed to the lower bracket.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of the mixing and bearing device for a grain moistening machine provided by this utility model are as follows: A bearing bracket is used to support the hopper; a lower bracket on the bearing bracket secures the drive mechanism at the end of the hopper, enabling it to tumble; a front bracket at the end of the bottom bracket assists in the hopper's tumbling and provides sliding support, making its operation more stable; guardrails on both sides are used to hold and fix the water vapor separator, facilitating its installation; pulleys are used to cooperate with the ring hoops on the outer wall of the hopper, making the hopper's tumbling more stable under the drive mechanism and providing tumbling support; a trapezoidal bottom support is used to support the weight of the drive mechanism and the pneumatic ultrasonic generator; a support platform is used to install and fix the pneumatic ultrasonic generator; and reinforcing horizontal steel bars are used to strengthen the bearing capacity of the bottom bracket, allowing it to bear greater weight, making the structure more stable, and maintaining the hopper's tumbling stability.
