Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of corn soaking technology, specifically relating to a soaking tank that can fully soak corn. Background Technology

[0002] Feed is a general term for the food of all domesticated animals, primarily referring to the food of animals raised in agriculture or animal husbandry. Feed contains many components, one of which is corn. Corn is not only a major energy source but also rich in carbohydrates, protein, fat, and numerous vitamins and minerals, providing comprehensive nutritional support. Corn has a high energy value, meeting energy requirements to support growth, reproduction, and life activities. Before being used to produce feed, corn needs to be soaked.

[0003] Before fermenting corn into feed, it needs to be soaked. Soaking allows the corn kernels to absorb enough water in advance. The main purpose of soaking corn when making feed is to soften the corn kernels, making them easier to digest and break down. At the same time, it changes the structure and physicochemical properties of the endosperm, reduces mechanical strength, extracts some soluble substances, and inhibits the harmful activities of microorganisms.

[0004] Soaking corn requires the use of a soaking tank. However, the existing soaking method involves directly putting the corn into the tank. After soaking, the corn is not easy to remove quickly and requires repeated operation with a strainer. In addition, the corn needs to be manually turned and stirred during soaking, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Therefore, we propose a soaking tank that can fully soak corn. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soaking tank that can fully soak corn, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which is that the existing soaking method involves directly putting the corn into the tank, and after soaking, the corn is not easy to remove quickly. It is necessary to use a strainer to repeatedly remove the corn, and the corn needs to be manually turned over during soaking, which is inconvenient and inefficient.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a soaking tank for fully soaking corn, comprising a tank body with an open upper surface, a drain pipe installed through the lower surface of the tank body, a corn placement mesh cylinder detachably installed inside the tank body, an installation plate detachably installed at the opening position on the surface of the tank body, a motor fixedly installed on the surface of the installation plate, a gear one fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor, the gear one being an incomplete gear, a rotating shaft vertically rotatably installed on the installation plate, a gear two fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top end of the rotating shaft, the gear one and gear two cooperating, a plurality of rubber actuating plates fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, a handle one fixedly installed on the surface of the corn placement mesh cylinder, and a handle two fixedly installed on the surface of the installation plate.

[0007] Using the above solution, a corn placement net cylinder is used in conjunction with an installation plate. Corn is placed into the corn placement net cylinder, which is detachably installed inside the tank. The soaking solution inside the tank comes into contact with the corn in the corn placement net cylinder to achieve soaking. The incomplete gear on the installation plate intermittently meshes with gear one and gear two, causing the rotating shaft to drive the rubber actuating plate to rotate intermittently, thus achieving intermittent actuation of the corn. This eliminates the need for manual actuation of the corn, ensuring sufficient contact between the corn and the soaking solution and achieving a good soaking effect. By using an assembly insert plate and an assembly clip plate, the installation plate can be easily disassembled and assembled. Furthermore, the corn placement net cylinder can be easily disassembled and assembled via an installation rod and an installation nut, making it easy to quickly remove the soaked corn and greatly improving ease of use.

[0008] In the above scheme, it should be noted that the motor is electrically connected to an external power supply.

The outer surface of the top of the corn placing net cylinder has a step, and the support blocks are fitted and positioned directly below the step. A through hole is provided at the step position. An installation rod is fixedly installed on the surface of the support block. The installation rod passes through the through hole. The surface of the installation rod has threads, and an installation nut is threaded and fitted onto the surface of the corn placing net cylinder at the step position.

[0010] The above solution utilizes support blocks to support and lift the stepped position of the corn placement net cylinder. The installation rod passes through the through hole and is screwed on with the installation nut, enabling convenient installation of the corn placement net cylinder. The threaded installation has good stability and is not prone to loosening.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a number of limiting plates are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the corn placement net cylinder, and a number of limiting slots are opened on the inner wall of the tank. The limiting plates and limiting slots are used in conjunction.

[0012] By adopting the above solution, when the corn placement mesh cylinder is inserted into the tank from top to bottom, the insertion of the limiting plate into the limiting slot can ensure that the through hole at the upper step of the corn placement mesh cylinder is aligned with the installation rod, thereby facilitating the assembly and installation operation and improving the ease of assembly.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, two assembly inserts are fixedly installed on the surface of the tank. Assembly insertion holes for inserting the assembly inserts are provided at both ends of the mounting plates. Mounting frames are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting plates. A sliding plate is slidably installed inside the mounting frame. An assembly locking plate is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate. An assembly locking groove is provided on the assembly insert. The assembly locking plate slidably extends out of the mounting frame and engages with the assembly locking groove. A handle is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate. A channel for the movement of the handle is provided on the surface of the mounting frame.

[0014] By using the above method, the assembly insert plate is inserted into the assembly socket, and then the assembly card is inserted into the assembly slot, which can realize the convenient installation of the mounting plate. The installation structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of support rods are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame, and the sliding plate is slidably installed on the outer surface of the plurality of support rods.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the support rod can support and guide the sliding process of the sliding plate, thereby providing stable support for the movement of the assembly plate and avoiding swaying.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the support rod, and the two ends of the spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame and the side of the sliding plate, respectively.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, a spring is set up so that when the assembly plate moves into the mounting frame, the spring deforms. At this time, the assembly plate can be inserted into the assembly socket. Then, the elastic force of the spring can drive the assembly plate to move quickly and insert into the assembly slot, thereby realizing a quick locking operation and improving the convenience of locking.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This soaking tank, which can fully immerse corn, is used in conjunction with a corn placement mesh and an installation plate. Corn is placed into the corn placement mesh, which is detachably installed inside the tank. The soaking solution inside the tank comes into contact with the corn in the corn placement mesh to achieve soaking. The incomplete gear on the installation plate intermittently meshes with gear one and gear two, which causes the rotating shaft to drive the rubber actuating plate to rotate intermittently, thereby achieving intermittent actuation of the corn. This eliminates the need to manually actuate the corn, ensuring full contact between the corn and the soaking solution and achieving a good soaking effect.

[0021] This soaking tank, which can fully immerse corn, uses an assembly insert plate and an assembly clip plate to facilitate easy assembly and disassembly of the mounting plate. The corn placement mesh cylinder is also easy to assemble and disassemble using an installation rod and a mounting nut, making it easy to quickly remove the soaked corn and greatly improving ease of use.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a soaking tank for fully soaking corn, including a tank body 1 with an open upper surface, a drain pipe 2 installed through the lower surface of the tank body 1, a corn placement mesh cylinder 3 detachably installed inside the tank body 1, an installation plate 4 detachably installed at the opening position on the surface of the tank body 1, a motor 5 fixedly installed on the surface of the installation plate 4, a gear 6 fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor 5, the gear 6 being an incomplete gear, a rotating shaft 7 vertically rotatably installed on the installation plate 4, a gear 8 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the top end of the rotating shaft 7, the gear 6 and the gear 8 working together, several rubber actuating plates 9 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 7, a handle 20 fixedly installed on the surface of the corn placement mesh cylinder 3, and a handle 21 fixedly installed on the surface of the installation plate 4.

[0030] By using a corn placement net cylinder 3 in conjunction with an mounting plate 4, corn is placed inside the corn placement net cylinder 3, which is detachably installed inside the tank body 1. The soaking solution in the tank body 1 comes into contact with the corn in the corn placement net cylinder 3 to achieve soaking. The incomplete gear on the mounting plate 4, as gear one 6, intermittently meshes with gear two 8, which causes the rotating shaft 7 to drive the rubber actuating plate 9 to rotate intermittently, thereby achieving intermittent actuation of the corn. This eliminates the need for manual actuation of the corn, ensuring full contact between the corn and the soaking solution and achieving a good soaking effect. By using an assembly insert plate 14 and an assembly clip plate 17 in conjunction, the mounting plate 4 can be easily disassembled and assembled. Furthermore, the corn placement net cylinder 3 can be easily disassembled and assembled via the mounting rod 11 and the mounting nut 12, making it easy to quickly remove the soaked corn and greatly improving ease of use.

[0031] Several support blocks 10 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1. The support blocks 10 are arranged in a circular array. The outer surface of the top of the corn placing net cylinder 3 has a step, and the support blocks 10 are attached to the step position directly below it. A through hole is opened at the step position. An installation rod 11 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support block 10. The installation rod 11 passes through the through hole. The surface of the installation rod 11 has threads, and an installation nut 12 is threaded on it. The installation nut 12 is attached to the surface of the step position of the corn placing net cylinder 3. The support blocks 10 are used to support and lift the step position of the corn placing net cylinder 3. After the installation rod 11 passes through the through hole, it is screwed on to the installation nut 12. This realizes the convenient installation operation of the corn placing net cylinder 3. The threaded installation has good stability and is not easy to loosen.

[0032] Several limiting plates 13 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the corn placement net cylinder 3, and several limiting slots are opened on the inner wall of the tank body 1. The limiting plates 13 are used in conjunction with the limiting slots. When the corn placement net cylinder 3 is inserted into the tank body 1 from top to bottom, the limiting plates 13 are inserted into the limiting slots to ensure that the through hole at the upper step of the corn placement net cylinder 3 is aligned with the mounting rod 11, thereby facilitating the assembly and installation operation and improving the ease of assembly.

[0033] Two assembly insert plates 14 are fixedly installed on the surface of the tank body 1. Assembly insertion holes for inserting the assembly insert plates 14 are opened at both ends of the mounting plate 4. Mounting frames 15 are fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting plate 4. A sliding plate 16 is slidably installed inside the mounting frame 15. An assembly locking plate 17 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate 16. An assembly locking groove is opened on the assembly insert plate 14. The assembly locking plate 17 slides out of the mounting frame 15 and cooperates with the assembly locking groove. A handle 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the sliding plate 16. A channel for the movement of the handle 22 is opened on the surface of the mounting frame 15. By inserting the assembly insert plate 14 into the assembly insertion hole and then inserting the assembly locking plate 17 into the assembly locking groove, the mounting plate 4 can be conveniently installed. The installation structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0034] Several support rods 18 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame 15. The sliding plate 16 is slidably installed on the outer surface of the support rods 18. The support rods 18 can support and guide the sliding process of the sliding plate 16, thereby providing stable support for the movement of the assembly plate 17 and avoiding swaying.

[0035] A spring 19 is sleeved on the outside of the support rod 18. The two ends of the spring 19 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 15 and the side of the sliding plate 16, respectively. By setting the spring 19, when the assembly plate 17 moves into the mounting frame 15, the spring 19 deforms. At this time, the assembly insert plate 14 can be inserted into the assembly insert hole. Then, the elastic force of the spring 19 can drive the assembly plate 17 to move quickly and insert into the assembly slot, realizing a quick locking operation and improving the convenience of locking.

[0036] In use, corn is added into the corn placement mesh cylinder 3, and soaking solution is added into the tank 1. The corn is soaked in the soaking solution. At the same time, the motor 5 starts and drives gear 6 to rotate. The incomplete gear 6 intermittently meshes with gear 8, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 7 to drive the rubber agitator 9 to rotate intermittently. The intermittent rotation of the rubber agitator 9 causes the corn to be agitated and rolled, ensuring that the corn is in full contact with the soaking solution. After soaking, the soaking solution is discharged through the drain pipe 2, and the corn remains inside the corn placement mesh cylinder 3. The operating handle 22 drives the sliding plate 16 to move the assembly plate 17. When the assembly plate 17 disengages from the assembly slot, the mounting plate 4 is unlocked. The operating handle 21 is then moved upward, causing the mounting plate 4 to move upward and disengage from the tank 1. At this time, the rotating shaft 7 and the rubber agitator 9 move upward synchronously with the mounting plate 4 and disengage from the corn placement mesh cylinder 3. Then, the mounting nut 12 is unscrewed to unlock the corn placement mesh cylinder 3. Finally, the operating handle 20 moves the corn placement mesh cylinder 3 upward to remove it.
