[0002] The draining device for rice noodles plays a crucial role in the rice noodle processing process. It is responsible for removing excess moisture from the surface of the rice noodles, ensuring their dryness and quality.

[0003] Patent specification CN222378660U discloses a draining device for mung bean vermicelli production line, including a base, a draining plate, and a support frame. The support frame has height-adjustable support rods that extend inwards and abut against the back of the draining plate. The front of the draining plate has several laterally extending drainage slots, with water channels passing through the draining plate at the lower part of each slot. These water channels have a gradually widening cross-section from one side of the drainage slots towards the back of the draining plate. The lower end of the draining plate has an arc-shaped extension extending outwards relative to the front of the draining plate. Outer baffles are provided on both sides of the extension, and drain outlets are located on the inner side of the outer baffles. This device effectively drains mung bean vermicelli after cooling by soaking in cold water, reducing the moisture content of the vermicelli during subsequent cutting processes and providing favorable process conditions for subsequent processes on the production line.

[0004] However, during the implementation of the relevant technology, the following problems were found in the aforementioned draining device for mung bean vermicelli production line: During the draining process of the vermicelli, the degree of draining of the vermicelli on the upper layer and the vermicelli on the lower layer is inconsistent during the natural draining process, resulting in some vermicelli not being fully drained, affecting the quality of the final product. In addition, the vermicelli sticks together or clumps due to moisture and stickiness, requiring additional processing steps to remove residual moisture, affecting the appearance and taste of the product. It is also necessary to use drying equipment or increase the manual drying time, which not only increases the production cost but may also affect the overall quality of the product. In view of this, a draining device for mung bean vermicelli production line is provided to overcome the above defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a draining device for the production line of mung bean vermicelli.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a draining device for a mung bean vermicelli production line, comprising a support column, a first spring fixedly connected to the upper end of the support column, a protective plate fixedly connected to the end of the first spring away from the support column, a draining plate fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the protective plate, a strip-shaped protrusion fixedly connected to the upper end of the draining plate, a vibration motor provided at the rear end of the protective plate, a connecting block fixedly connected to the left end of the protective plate, a second spring fixedly connected to the upper end inside the connecting block, a linkage plate fixedly connected to the end of the second spring away from the connecting block, a rotating block rotatably connected to the right end of the linkage plate, a push plate slidably connected to the upper end of the draining plate, locking blocks fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the push plate, a water collection box fixedly connected to the inner side of the support column, and a drain outlet fixedly connected to the front end of the water collection box.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the upper end of the strip-shaped protrusion contacts the lower end of the push plate, the front and rear ends of the rotating block contact the inside of the connecting block, and the bottom left end of the rotating block contacts the top right end of the push plate, so that the push plate can push the vermicelli on the upper part of the drain plate to the right, which facilitates the collection of vermicelli and improves work efficiency.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the connecting block has a hollow structure inside, and the second spring and the connecting plate are both inside the hollow structure. The right end of the connecting block has a groove, and the front and back length of the groove matches the front and back length of the rotating block. This allows the connecting plate to be stretched by the second spring, so that the bottom left end of the rotating block can clamp the top right end of the push plate, preventing the push plate from moving during vibration.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the bottom of the water collection box is inclined from back to front and downward, and the inclination angle is 30°, so that excess water flows into the drain outlet through the inclined water collection port.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the lower end of the push plate is provided with several horizontally arranged slots, and the cross-sectional shape and size of the slots are matched with the cross-sectional shape and size of the strip protrusions, so that the push plate can fit more closely to the drain plate when it moves on the drain plate.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution: a baffle is rotatably connected inside the guard plate, a buckle is fixedly connected to the right end of the baffle, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the right end of the support column, so that by rotating the baffle, the noodles that have finished draining at the top of the drain plate can be collected into the collection box, thereby improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution: a rectangular groove is provided inside the guard plate, and the cross-sectional shape and size of the rectangular groove match the cross-sectional shape and size of the baffle, so that the baffle can rotate inside the guard plate.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model presents a convenient liquid separation device. Through the design and cooperation of a vibrating motor and a push plate, the vibrating motor can vibrate and drain the vermicelli on the upper part of the drain plate. The high-frequency vibration helps to remove the water from the vermicelli, resulting in a relatively fast processing speed and significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the strip-shaped protrusions prevent the vermicelli from accumulating or clumping during vibration, thus improving product quality.

[0015] This utility model introduces a convenient liquid separation device. Through the design of the baffle and the collection box, after the noodles have drained, the buckle can be opened and the baffle rotated to collect the drained noodles from the top of the drain plate into the collection box. This avoids the tedious process of manual picking, reduces human intervention, lowers labor costs, and improves overall production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0023] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the upper end of the strip protrusion 5 contacts the lower end of the push plate 11, the front and rear ends of the rotating block 10 contact the inside of the connecting block 7, and the bottom left end of the rotating block 10 contacts the top right end of the push plate 11, so that the push plate 11 can push the vermicelli on the upper end of the drain plate 4 to the right, which facilitates the collection of vermicelli and improves work efficiency.

[0024] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the connecting block 7 has a hollow structure inside, and the second spring 8 and the connecting plate 9 are both inside the hollow structure. The right end of the connecting block 7 has a groove, and the front and back length of the groove matches the front and back length of the rotating block 10. This allows the connecting plate 9 to be stretched by the second spring 8, so that the bottom left end of the rotating block 10 can clamp the top right end of the push plate 11, preventing the push plate 11 from moving during vibration.

[0025] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the bottom of the water collection box 13 is tilted downward from back to front at an angle of 30°, so that excess water flows into the drain outlet 14 through the tilted water collection port.

[0026] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the lower end of the push plate 11 is provided with several horizontally arranged slots, and the cross-sectional shape and size of the slots are matched with the cross-sectional shape and size of the strip protrusion 5, so that the push plate 11 can fit more closely to the drain plate 4 when it moves on the drain plate 4.

[0027] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: the baffle 15 is rotatably connected inside the guard plate 3, the buckle 16 is welded to the right end of the baffle 15, and the collection box 17 is welded to the right end of the support column 1, so that by rotating the baffle 15, the noodles that have finished draining at the top of the drain plate 4 can be collected into the collection box 17, thereby improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0028] As a further implementation of the above technical solution: a rectangular groove is provided inside the guard plate 3, and the cross-sectional shape and size of the rectangular groove are matched with the cross-sectional shape and size of the baffle 15, so that the baffle 15 can rotate inside the guard plate 3.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] When using this utility model, the undrained vermicelli is evenly placed on the drain plate 4, and then the vibration motor 6 is started. The vibration motor 6 drives the drain plate 4 to vibrate. The first spring 2 at the upper end of the support column 1 dampens the vibration on the drain plate 4. The strip-shaped protrusion 5 at the upper end of the drain plate 4 prevents the vermicelli from accumulating during vibration. Excess water in the vermicelli falls into the water collection box 13 through the drain plate 4 and is discharged through the drain outlet 14. After the draining is finished, the rotating block 10 and the connecting plate 9 are pulled and the second spring 8 is stretched, so that the rotating block 10 is horizontally engaged in the groove at the right end of the connecting block 7, so that the push plate 11 can move. Pulling the push plate 11 causes the outer side of the locking block 12 to slide inside the guard plate 3, so that the push plate 11 pushes the vermicelli at the upper end of the drain plate 4 to the right. The buckle 16 is opened and the baffle 15 is rotated to collect the vermicelli at the upper end of the drain plate 4 into the collection box 17.
