Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn flaking devices, and more specifically to a corn flaking forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the corn processing industry, corn flaking is a key step in increasing the added value of corn and expanding its application areas, and it is widely used in industries such as feed and food. Currently, the common corn flaking production process usually includes steam treatment and flaking steps.

[0003] During steam treatment, high-temperature steam gelatinizes the corn starch and softens the corn kernels, facilitating subsequent flaking. However, this process also brings several drawbacks. Steam treatment significantly increases the moisture content of the corn kernels, drastically increasing their surface viscosity. During flaking, this high viscosity causes the corn flakes to easily stick together. When pressure is applied by the rollers, adjacent corn flakes are subjected to high pressure and high humidity, causing them to adhere tightly to each other due to intermolecular forces and the sticky substance.

[0004] Existing equipment is inadequate to address this issue. Traditional tablet presses focus on forming the tablets, neglecting the problem of adhesion. The lack of anti-sticking design at the pressure rollers allows corn flakes to continuously adhere, interfering with the pressing of new material, resulting in uneven thickness, decreased product quality, and frequent shutdowns for cleaning, significantly reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a corn flaking equipment that can promptly clean the adhesive on the surface of the pressure rollers, preventing its accumulation from affecting the flaking effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A corn flaking and forming device includes a box body, a feeding hopper at the top of the box body, a discharge port at the bottom of the box body, two flaking rollers symmetrically rotated inside the box body near the feeding hopper, a driving mechanism for driving the two flaking rollers to rotate relative to each other on the outside of the box body, scrapers on both sides of the box body near the flaking rollers, and a stirring mechanism inside the box body near the discharge port.

[0008] Furthermore, two rotating shafts are symmetrically arranged inside the box near the feed hopper, and the two pressing rollers are respectively fixedly sleeved on the two rotating shafts; the driving mechanism includes a driving motor installed on the outside of the box, the output shaft of the driving motor is driven and connected to one of the rotating shafts, one end of the rotating shaft extends to the outside of the box and is fixedly connected to a gear, and the two gears mesh with each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the scraper is equipped with an electric heating wire inside.

[0010] Furthermore, the agitation mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably disposed within the housing, with stirring blades fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and a rotary motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is installed on the outside of the housing.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the stirring blade is provided with multiple protrusions.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention features a scraper that can promptly clean the surface of the pressure roller, preventing its accumulation from affecting the tableting effect; and a stirring mechanism that can break up any clumps of corn flakes that may form at the discharge port, ensuring smooth discharge. The combination of these two features improves the continuity and stability of the entire production process. Attached Figure Description

[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a corn flaking and forming equipment includes a housing 1, a feeding hopper 2 at the top of the housing 1, a discharge port 101 at the bottom of the housing 1, two flaking rollers 3 symmetrically rotated inside the housing 1 near the feeding hopper 2, a driving mechanism for driving the two flaking rollers 3 to rotate relative to each other on the outside of the housing 1, scrapers 4 on both sides inside the housing 1 near the flaking rollers 3, and a stirring mechanism inside the housing 1 near the discharge port 101.

[0018] Two rotating shafts 5 are symmetrically arranged inside the housing 1 near the feed hopper 2, and the two pressing rollers 3 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the two rotating shafts 5; the driving mechanism includes a driving motor 6 installed on the outside of the housing 1, the output shaft of the driving motor 6 drives and connects to one of the rotating shafts 5, one end of the rotating shaft 5 extends to the outside of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to a gear 7, and the two gears 7 mesh with each other.

[0019] The scraper 4 is equipped with an electric heating wire inside; the electric heating wire can keep the scraper 4 at a certain temperature, and use heat to prevent the moisture brought by steam treatment in the corn flakes from condensing on the surface of the scraper 4, effectively reducing the stickiness between the corn flakes and the scraper 4, avoiding sticking, ensuring that the scraper 4 continuously and efficiently cleans the pressure roller 3, and maintaining the good working condition of the pressure roller 3.

[0020] The stirring mechanism includes a rotating shaft 8 rotatably disposed inside the housing 1, a stirring blade 9 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8, and a rotary motor 10 for driving the rotating shaft 8 to rotate is installed on the outside of the housing 1.

[0021] The surface of the stirring blade 9 is provided with multiple protrusions; the multiple protrusions on the surface of the stirring blade 9 increase the friction with the corn chips, which can more effectively break up larger clumps during the stirring process, completely separate the sticky corn chips, and further optimize the output quality.

[0022] Working principle:

[0023] After steam treatment, corn kernels enter the housing 1 from the feed hopper 2 and fall between the symmetrically rotating tableting rollers 3. The drive motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and through the meshing of two gears 7, the two tableting rollers 3 rotate relative to each other, applying pressure to the corn kernels and pressing them into tablets. During the tableting process, the scraper 4 constantly cleans the surface of the tableting rollers 3 to prevent the accumulation of adhering materials from affecting the tableting of new corn kernels. The pressed corn tablets move towards the discharge port 101. The rotary motor 10 drives the rotating shaft 8 and the raised stirring blades 9 to rotate, agitating the corn tablets, breaking up any clumps, and allowing them to be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 101.

[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
