Corn germ protein is rich in essential amino acids such as glutamic acid, leucine, and arginine, and has good functional properties, making it suitable for use in the food, feed, or health product industries.
[0003] The extraction of corn germ protein requires the use of grinding equipment to grind the corn germ. During grinding, the high temperature generated by friction can easily cause the corn germ protein to denature, thus affecting the extraction effect.
[0004] There is an urgent need for a grinding device for extracting corn germ protein to address the technical deficiencies mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grinding device for extracting corn germ protein, so as to solve the problem of easy high-temperature denaturation mentioned in the background art.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a telescopic pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the guide hopper, the telescopic pipe is fixedly connected to the feed pipe, and a solenoid valve is installed on the feed pipe.
[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the protective cover is fixedly connected to the two sides of the limiting slider, the processing table is fixedly connected to the two sides of the inside, and the limiting slider is slidably connected to the outside of the limiting slide.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the grinding device for extracting corn germ protein not only realizes the functions of easy cooling and reduced oxidation, but also the functions of easy impurity removal;
[0013] (1) By setting up a cooling water tank, pump body, grinding seat, cooling tank, grinding disc, water guide pipe, temperature sensor and water collection tank, the grinding motor drives the grinding disc to grind corn germ raw materials. During the process, the pump body can transport the cooling water inside the cooling water tank to the water guide pipe inside the cooling tank. When the cooling water flows along the water guide pipe, it can continuously cool the inside of the grinding seat. The cooled water flows into the water collection tank through the outlet of the water guide pipe for recycling. The temperature sensor detects the temperature inside the grinding seat in real time. This structure avoids the situation of protein denaturation caused by high temperature during grinding and improves the safety of grinding.
[0014] (2) By setting up a protective cover, feed pipe, limit slide and limit slider, the hydraulic cylinder can push the protective cover to the top of the grinding seat during grinding. The protective cover fits tightly with the top of the grinding seat. The through hole reserved in the center of the protective cover facilitates the movement of the support shaft. During the grinding process, the protective cover covers the grinding area of the grinding seat in a large area, reducing the corn germ raw material from contacting oxygen too much during grinding and avoiding excessive protein oxidation. This structure achieves the function of reducing oxidation.
[0015] (3) By setting up a feed pipe, telescopic pipe, guide hopper, magnetic mesh frame and pull rod, corn germ raw material can be poured into the interior of the grinding seat from the guide hopper. When the corn germ passes through the guide hopper, the magnetic mesh frame inside can adsorb the metal impurity particles mixed in the corn germ. The mesh of the magnetic mesh frame makes it easy for the corn germ to pass through. The filtered corn germ enters the interior of the grinding seat through the telescopic pipe for grinding. Pulling the pull rod upwards can remove and clean the magnetic mesh frame. This structure realizes the function of easy impurity removal and improves the accuracy of protein extraction.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a grinding device for extracting corn germ protein, comprising a processing table 1, a cooling water tank 2 installed on the left side of the processing table 1, a pump body 3 fixedly installed at the top of the cooling water tank 2, a grinding seat 5 installed at the bottom inside the processing table 1, a cooling groove 6 provided inside the grinding seat 5, a water guide pipe 18 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooling groove 6, a temperature sensor 19 fixedly connected inside the cooling groove 6, a hydraulic cylinder 12 fixedly connected at the top inside the processing table 1, and a fixing frame 13 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 12. A grinding motor 14 is fixedly installed inside the 13. A support shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the grinding motor 14. A grinding disc 7 is detachably installed at the bottom end of the support shaft 15. A discharge pipe 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the grinding seat 5. A PLC controller 16 is fixedly installed on the right side of the processing table 1. A water collection tank 20 is provided at the bottom right side of the processing table 1. A guide hopper 10 is installed at the top of the processing table 1. A magnetic mesh frame 11 is installed inside the guide hopper 10. A protective cover 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed frame 13. An inlet pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the protective cover 4.
[0023] The pipe at the output end of the pump body 3 is connected to the inlet of the water guide pipe 18, and the outlet of the water guide pipe 18 is connected to the water collection tank 20 through a pipe. The temperature sensor 19 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 16, and the water guide pipe 18 is installed close to the grinding chamber.
[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during the grinding process of the grinding motor 14 driving the grinding disc 7 to grind the corn germ raw material, the pump body 3 can transport the cooling water inside the cooling water tank 2 to the water guide pipe 18 inside the cooling tank 6. When the cooling water flows along the water guide pipe 18, it can continuously cool the inside of the grinding seat 5. The cooled water flows into the water collection tank 20 through the outlet of the water guide pipe 18 for recycling. The temperature sensor 19 detects the temperature inside the grinding seat 5 in real time to avoid protein denaturation caused by high temperature during grinding.
[0025] Pull rods 23 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the magnetic mesh frame 11. The magnetic mesh frame 11 is inserted into the inside of the guide hopper 10. The bottom of the guide hopper 10 is fixedly connected to the telescopic tube 9, which is fixedly connected to the feed pipe 8.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, corn germ raw material can be poured into the interior of the grinding seat 5 from the feed hopper 10. When the corn germ passes through the feed hopper 10, the magnetic mesh frame 11 inside can adsorb the metal impurity particles mixed in the corn germ. The mesh of the magnetic mesh frame 11 makes it easy for the corn germ to pass through. The filtered corn germ enters the interior of the grinding seat 5 through the telescopic tube 9 for grinding. Pulling the pull rod 23 to lift the magnetic mesh frame 11 upwards can remove it for cleaning.
[0027] A solenoid valve is installed on the feed pipe 8. Limiting sliders 22 are fixedly connected to both sides of the protective cover 4. Limiting slides 17 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the processing table 1. The limiting sliders 22 are slidably connected to the outside of the limiting slides 17.
[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, during grinding, the hydraulic cylinder 12 can push the protective cover 4 to the top of the grinding seat 5. The protective cover 4 fits tightly against the top of the grinding seat 5. The through hole reserved at the center of the protective cover 4 facilitates the movement of the support shaft 15. During the grinding process, the protective cover 4 covers the grinding area of the grinding seat 5 over a large area, reducing the corn germ raw material from excessive contact with oxygen during grinding and preventing excessive protein oxidation.
[0029] Working principle: Corn germ raw material can be poured into the grinding seat 5 through the feed hopper 10. When the corn germ passes through the feed hopper 10, the magnetic mesh frame 11 inside can adsorb the metal impurity particles mixed in with the corn germ. The mesh of the magnetic mesh frame 11 facilitates the passage of corn germ. The filtered corn germ enters the grinding seat 5 through the telescopic tube 9 for grinding. During the grinding process, the grinding motor 14 drives the grinding disc 7 to grind the corn germ raw material. The pump body 3 can transport the cooling water in the cooling water tank 2 to the water guide pipe 18 in the cooling tank 6. When the cooling water flows along the water guide pipe 18, it can continuously cool the inside of the grinding seat 5. After cooling, the water flows into the water collection tank 20 through the outlet of the water guide pipe 18 and can be recycled. The temperature sensor 19 detects the internal temperature of the grinding seat 5 in real time. This structure avoids protein denaturation caused by high temperature during grinding. During grinding, the hydraulic cylinder 12 can push the protective cover 4 to the top of the grinding seat 5. The protective cover 4 fits tightly with the top of the grinding seat 5. The through hole reserved in the center of the protective cover 4 allows the support shaft 15 to move through. During the grinding process, the protective cover 4 covers a large area of the grinding area of the grinding seat 5, reducing the corn germ raw material's excessive contact with oxygen during grinding and avoiding excessive protein oxidation. This structure achieves the function of reducing oxidation.
