Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feed processing technology, specifically a feeding device for the production and processing of puffed corn. Background Technology

[0002] When corn is used as a feed, it is often necessary to first puff it before further crushing and processing.

[0003] In the process of puffing corn, an extruder is used. However, the puffed corn is very sticky, which can easily cause blockages during discharge. To solve this problem, the corn is often moistened before being fed into the extruder to increase its moisture content and facilitate discharge.

[0004] The existing method of wetting corn involves sprinkling water on it. This is done manually by workers, who then feed the corn. This not only wastes workers' time and energy but also increases the time spent sprinkling water, reducing overall efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a feeding device for the production and processing of puffed corn, in order to overcome the defects in the prior art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A feeding device for puffed corn production and processing includes a conveying auger. The discharge end of the conveying auger is connected to the inlet of a corn puffing machine. The inlet of the conveying auger faces upward and is connected to a feed pipe. The feed pipe is connected upward to a humidification box. The upper part of the humidification box has an inlet. A conical plate that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom is fixedly installed inside the humidification box. The conical plate is located below the inlet and there is a gap between it and the inner wall of the humidification box. A ring pipe is arranged horizontally below the conical plate. Several nozzles are arranged around the circumference of the ring pipe. One end of the ring pipe is connected to a water inlet pipe. The other end of the water inlet pipe passes through the humidification box and is connected to a water pump. The water pump is kept in an external water source.

[0008] In use, the material is poured into the humidification box through the inlet. The water for humidification is drawn in by a water pump and enters the annular pipe through the inlet pipe, then sprayed out from the nozzles on the annular pipe, achieving horizontal spraying of water. The corn kernels are screwed onto a conical plate inside the humidification box, then spread out by the conical plate and fall vertically downwards to contact the horizontally sprayed water, thus humidifying the corn kernels. The humidified corn then enters the inlet of the conveying auger, and is conveyed by the conveying auger. Since water is sprayed onto the corn kernels by a water pump during transportation, the time and effort spent on manual humidification are saved. At the same time, compared with the method of humidifying first and then conveying, humidifying during transportation can effectively improve the overall work efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower parts of the humidification box are symmetrically arranged along the middle of the humidification box and are conical structures with a diameter decreasing in opposite directions.

[0010] Preferably, the annular pipe has an inner pipe coaxially arranged inside, with the upper end closed and the lower end connected to the water inlet pipe. Several connecting pipes are connected along the circumference of the inner pipe, and the outer ends of the connecting pipes are connected to the annular pipe. Water in the water inlet pipe enters the annular pipe through the connecting pipes.

[0011] Preferably, the inner end of the water inlet pipe is closed, and the water inlet pipe is connected upward to an outer pipe. The inner pipe is inserted into the outer pipe and is rotatably connected to the outer pipe via a bearing. A horizontal bar is fixedly installed in the inner pipe, and a rotating shaft coaxial with the inner pipe is vertically connected downward to the horizontal bar. A blade that rotates with the water flow is sleeved on the rotating shaft. When the water flows from the outer pipe to the inner pipe, the water flow drives the blade to rotate, the blade to rotate, the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft to rotate, and then the inner pipe to rotate, which in turn drives the annular pipe to rotate through the connecting pipe, ensuring more uniform water spraying and thus more uniform humidification of the corn kernels.

[0012] Preferably, the humidifier box has an upward-facing vertical pipe connected to its inlet, with a feed hopper connected to the upper end of the vertical pipe. A valve is installed on the vertical pipe. The valve controls the flow rate into the humidifier box, thereby achieving better humidification of the corn.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The use of this application realizes the humidification of corn kernels. The humidified corn kernels enter the feed inlet of the conveying auger and are conveyed by the conveying auger. Since water is sprayed onto the corn kernels by a water pump during transportation, the time and effort consumed by manual humidification are saved. At the same time, compared with the method of humidifying first and then conveying, humidification during transportation can effectively improve the overall work efficiency.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] A feeding device for the production and processing of puffed corn, such as Figures 1-3 As shown. It includes a conveying auger 1, the discharge end of which is connected to the inlet of the corn puffing machine. The inlet of the conveying auger 1 faces upwards and is connected to a feed pipe. The feed pipe is connected upwards to a humidification box 2. The upper part of the humidification box 2 has an inlet. A conical plate 3, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom, is fixedly installed inside the humidification box 2. The conical plate 3 is located below the inlet and has a gap with the inner wall of the humidification box 2. A ring pipe 4 is horizontally arranged below the conical plate 3. Several nozzles 12 are arranged around the circumference of the ring pipe 4. One end of the ring pipe 4 is connected to a water inlet pipe 8, and the other end of the water inlet pipe 8 extends out of the humidification box 2 and is connected to a water pump. The water pump is kept in an external water source. The upper and lower parts of the humidification box 2 are symmetrically arranged along the middle of the humidification box 2 and have a conical structure with a decreasing diameter in opposite directions.

[0022] In use, the material is poured into the humidification box 2 through the inlet. The water for humidification is drawn in by the water pump and enters the annular pipe 4 through the water inlet pipe 8, and is sprayed out from the nozzle 12 on the annular pipe 4 to achieve horizontal spraying of water. The corn kernels are screwed onto the conical plate 3 inside the humidification box 2, then spread out by the conical plate 3 and fall vertically downward to contact the horizontally sprayed water, thus humidifying the corn kernels. The humidified corn kernels then enter the inlet of the conveying auger 1 and are conveyed by the conveying auger 1. Since the water is sprayed onto the corn kernels by the water pump during transportation, the time and effort spent on manual humidification are saved. At the same time, compared with the method of humidifying first and then conveying, humidifying during the transportation process can effectively improve the overall work efficiency.

[0023] The annular pipe 4 has an inner pipe 5 coaxially arranged inside. The upper end of the inner pipe 5 is closed and the lower end is connected to the water inlet pipe 8. Several connecting pipes 7 are connected around the inner pipe 5, and the outer ends of the connecting pipes 7 are connected to the annular pipe 4. Water in the water inlet pipe 8 enters the annular pipe 4 through the connecting pipes 7.

[0024] The water inlet pipe 8 is closed at its inner end and connected upwards to an outer pipe 6. An inner pipe 5 is inserted into the outer pipe 6 and rotatably connected to the outer pipe 6 via a bearing. A horizontal bar is fixedly installed in the inner pipe 5, and a rotating shaft 10 coaxial with the inner pipe 5 is vertically connected downwards to the horizontal bar. A blade 9 that rotates with the water flow is sleeved on the rotating shaft 10. When water flows from the outer pipe 6 to the inner pipe 5, the water flow drives the blade 9 to rotate, the blade 9 to rotate, the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and the inner pipe 5 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the annular pipe 4 to rotate via the connecting pipe 7, ensuring more uniform water spraying and thus more uniform humidification of the corn kernels.

[0025] The humidifier 2 has an upward-facing vertical pipe connected to its inlet, and a feed hopper 11 connected to the upper end of the vertical pipe. A valve is installed on the vertical pipe. The valve controls the flow rate into the humidifier 2, thereby achieving better humidification of the corn.

[0026] The use of this application enables the humidification of corn kernels. The humidified corn kernels then enter the feed inlet of the conveying auger 1 and are conveyed by the conveying auger 1. Since water is sprayed onto the corn kernels by a water pump during transportation, the time and effort spent on manual humidification are saved. At the same time, compared with the method of humidifying first and then conveying, humidification during transportation can effectively improve the overall work efficiency.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
