Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of glutinous sorghum processing technology, specifically relating to a glutinous sorghum circulating soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Soaking is a crucial pretreatment step in the processing of glutinous sorghum. Soaking allows the sorghum to absorb sufficient water, facilitating subsequent steaming, fermentation, and other processes. Currently, the traditional method of soaking glutinous sorghum mostly involves placing it directly into a soaking tank for static soaking. This method suffers from uneven soaking, with some sorghum potentially over-soaked while others are under-soaked, affecting the quality of subsequent processing. Furthermore, static soaking is inefficient and time-consuming, hindering production efficiency. To address these issues, there is an urgent need to design a device that enables the continuous soaking of glutinous sorghum, thereby improving both soaking effectiveness and production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a glutinous sorghum circulating soaking device. This device uses a reciprocating motion mechanism to move the glutinous sorghum inside the filter frame up and down within the soaking tank, achieving circulating soaking of the glutinous sorghum and thus improving the uniformity and efficiency of the soaking process.

[0004] A circulating soaking device for glutinous sorghum includes a soaking tank. Guide mechanisms are provided on the left and right inner walls of the soaking tank. A filter frame is provided between the two guide mechanisms. A pair of up-and-down reciprocating motion mechanisms are provided on the soaking tank. The two up-and-down reciprocating motion mechanisms are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the filter frame.

[0005] Furthermore, the reciprocating motion mechanism includes a bracket fixed to the soaking tank, a motor bracket fixed to the rear side wall of the bracket, a geared motor fixed to the motor bracket, a guide cylinder fixed to the front side wall of the bracket, a guide rod disposed inside the guide cylinder, a crank disposed through the output shaft of the geared motor passing through the bracket, a connecting rod movably disposed on the crank, and the other end of the connecting rod being movably connected to the top end of the guide rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the guiding mechanism includes a guide rail fixed to the inner wall of the soaking tank, and guide blocks that slide up and down are engaged on the guide rail. The two guide blocks are respectively fixed to the two side walls of the filter frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the geared motor is an adjustable speed motor, and by adjusting the speed of the geared motor, the speed of the filter frame's up-and-down reciprocating motion can be controlled.

[0008] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor is installed on the soaking tank, and the liquid level sensor is connected to an external control system. When the liquid level in the soaking tank is lower than the set value, the control system issues an alarm.

[0009] Furthermore, the surfaces of both the guide rail and the guide block are smoothed to reduce friction when the guide block slides on the guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the filter frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] This invention uses a reciprocating motion mechanism to move the glutinous sorghum inside the filter frame up and down in the soaking tank. This allows the glutinous sorghum to continuously change position during the soaking process, ensuring full contact with the soaking liquid. This effectively improves the uniformity of the soaking process, avoids the problem of some glutinous sorghum being over- or under-soaked, and guarantees the quality of subsequent processing.

[0013] Improving soaking efficiency: The circulating soaking method accelerates the exchange of substances between glutinous sorghum and the soaking solution, shortens the soaking time, and improves soaking efficiency, which is conducive to improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown;

[0025] A circulating soaking device for glutinous sorghum.

[0026] This implementation plan addresses the technical problems existing in the prior art, such as those disclosed in the background section above: "In the processing of glutinous sorghum, soaking is an important pretreatment step. Soaking allows the glutinous sorghum to absorb an appropriate amount of water, facilitating subsequent steaming, fermentation, and other processes. Currently, the traditional method of soaking glutinous sorghum mostly involves placing the glutinous sorghum directly into a soaking tank for static soaking. This method suffers from uneven soaking, with some glutinous sorghum potentially being over-soaked while others are under-soaked, affecting the quality of subsequent processing; at the same time, static soaking is inefficient and time-consuming, which is not conducive to improving production efficiency." Considering practical application, this problem is clearly real and difficult to solve. Therefore, to address this technical problem, a circulating soaking device for glutinous sorghum is provided.

[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure;

[0028] Based on the above, the device includes a soaking tank 1, with guide mechanisms 2 on both the left and right inner walls. A filter frame 3 is positioned between the two guide mechanisms 2. A pair of reciprocating motion mechanisms 4 are mounted on the soaking tank 1, and the two reciprocating motion mechanisms 4 are connected to the left and right ends of the filter frame 3, respectively. Each reciprocating motion mechanism 4 includes a bracket 41 fixed to the soaking tank 1. A motor bracket 42 is fixed to the rear wall of the bracket 41, and a reduction motor 43 is fixed to the motor bracket 42. A guide cylinder 44 is fixed to the front wall of the bracket 41, and a guide rod 45 is provided inside the guide cylinder 44. The output shaft of the reduction motor 43 passes through the bracket 41 and is mounted on a crank 46. A connecting rod 47 is movably mounted on the crank 46, and the other end of the connecting rod 47 is movably connected to the top end of the guide rod 45.

[0029] The guiding mechanism 2 includes a guide rail 21 fixed to the inner wall of the soaking tank 1, and guide blocks 22 that slide up and down are engaged on the guide rail 21. The two guide blocks 22 are respectively fixed to the two side walls of the filter frame 3.

[0030] The geared motor 43 is an adjustable speed motor. By adjusting the speed of the geared motor 43, the speed of the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the filter frame 3 can be controlled.

[0031] A liquid level sensor is installed on the soaking tank 1. The liquid level sensor is connected to an external control system. When the liquid level in the soaking tank 1 is lower than the set value, the control system issues an alarm.

[0032] The surfaces of both the guide rail 21 and the guide block 22 are smoothed to reduce the friction when the guide block 22 slides on the guide rail 21.

[0033] The bottom end of the guide rod 45 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter frame 3.

[0034] When using this glutinous sorghum circulating soaking device, first place the glutinous sorghum in the filter frame. Start the geared motor; the output shaft of the geared motor drives the crank to rotate. The crank, through the connecting rod, drives the guide rod to move up and down reciprocally inside the guide cylinder. Since the bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the filter frame, and the guide blocks on both sides of the filter frame cooperate with the guide rails on the inner wall of the soaking tank, the filter frame will move up and down along the guide rails inside the soaking tank under the drive of the up-and-down reciprocating motion mechanism. This causes the glutinous sorghum inside the filter frame to move up and down inside the soaking tank, achieving the circulating soaking of the glutinous sorghum.

[0035] During the soaking process, the speed of the filter frame's up-and-down reciprocating motion can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the geared motor, based on the type of glutinous sorghum and the soaking process requirements, to achieve the best soaking effect. Simultaneously, a liquid level sensor monitors the liquid level in the soaking tank in real time. When the liquid level falls below the set value, the external control system issues an alarm, reminding staff to replenish the soaking solution promptly to ensure the normal operation of the soaking process.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
