Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain processing technology, specifically to a grain moistening hopper transfer component for grain moistening and mixing. Background Technology

[0002] The grain moistening hopper is a key piece of equipment used in the grain moistening process during grain processing or brewing. Its function is to ensure that the grain absorbs water evenly before entering the next process, achieving the ideal processing state. This equipment typically includes components such as the hopper body, a water supply device, and a conveying device. By placing the grain inside the hopper, water is added and moistened using methods such as spraying or soaking. Simultaneously, the stirring or conveying device ensures that the grain absorbs water evenly and is smoothly transferred to the next stage. The design of the grain moistening hopper must consider factors such as grain characteristics, moistening uniformity, and production efficiency. Its application helps improve the quality and efficiency of grain processing and is an important component of the grain processing and brewing industry.

[0003] In the grain processing industry, moistening grains is a crucial step in ensuring grain quality and smooth subsequent processing. Currently, the industry mainly uses two methods for moistening grains: soaking and spraying.

[0004] However, both methods have certain limitations. When soaking grains, the grains are completely submerged in water. While this results in rapid water absorption, it easily leads to excessive water absorption, causing over-expansion and clumping of the grains. It also significantly increases the risk of mold, affecting grain quality and storage safety. While spraying avoids excessive water absorption, the uniformity of water mist distribution is difficult to control precisely, often resulting in poor uniform wetting of the grains. Some grains may be under-wetted, while others may be excessively wet, affecting the stability of subsequent processing and product quality. Therefore, a grain-wetting hopper transfer component for grain preparation is proposed to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a grain moistening hopper transfer component for grain preparation, which has the advantages of improving the quality of grain moistening. It solves the problems of existing methods for moistening grain, which generally involve soaking and spraying. Soaking can lead to excessive water absorption, causing excessive expansion and clumping of the grain, while spraying can result in poor uniformity of grain moistening, with some grains being insufficiently moistened and others being excessively wet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A grain-moistening hopper transfer assembly for grain preparation includes a cylinder, a grain-moistening hopper, and a receiving seat.

[0026] It should be noted that the tilting seat 17 fills the gap between the placement net 5 and the cylinder 1, thereby evenly absorbing water from the grain on the placement net 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the placement net 5 are arc-shaped, the inside of the cylinder 1 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the inside of the cylinder 1 is provided with a support groove. The placement net 5 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped groove and the support groove. The size of the placement net 5 is adapted to the arc-shaped groove and the support groove. The grain hopper 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the cylinder 1.

[0028] It should be noted that by placing the grain on top of the net 5, it is easier to place the grain inside the cylinder 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, two mounting rods 6 are fixedly installed on the inner peripheral wall of the cylinder 1, and a mounting seat 7 is fixedly installed between the two mounting rods 6. The cross-section of the mounting seat 7 is an isosceles triangle, and a number of flow holes are opened inside the mounting seat 7. A drive motor 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting seat 7, and two agitator blades 9 are fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the output shaft of the drive motor 8. A water supply pipe 10 is fixedly installed inside the cylinder 1, and two spray heads 11 are fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the water supply pipe 10.

[0030] It should be noted that the spray head 11 facilitates the spraying of water onto the outer wall of the grain, making it easier for the grain to absorb water.

[0031] In this embodiment, the conveying structure includes a drainage net 13 fixedly installed at the bottom of the receiving seat 12, a discharge conveyor plate 14 fixedly installed on the right side of the drainage net 13, a vibration motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the discharge conveyor plate 14, two baffles 15, two support seats 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of both the drainage net 13 and the discharge conveyor plate 14, the drainage net 13 and the discharge conveyor plate 14 are installed at an inclined angle, and baffles 15 are fixedly installed at the top of both the drainage net 13 and the discharge conveyor plate 14.

[0032] It should be noted that the drainage net 13 and the material conveying plate 14 facilitate the transportation and processing of grain.

[0033] In this embodiment, an installation ring 18 is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 1, a lifting rod 19 is fixedly installed on the top of the installation ring 18, and an installation plate 20 is fixedly installed on the top of the lifting rod 19.

[0034] It should be noted that the cylinder 1 is hoisted and installed using the lifting rod 19 and the mounting plate 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, a support plate 21 is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral wall of the cylinder 1, the bottom of the net 5 and the top of the support plate 21 are located on the same plane, and a support arm 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the electric slide table 3.

[0037] It should be noted that a water pump is connected to the inlet end of the water supply pipe 10.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0039] First, start the electric slide 3 to move the placement net 5 into the cylinder 1 via the connecting rod 4. Then, put the grain on top of the placement net 5. At this time, start the drive motor 8 and drive the stirring blade 9 to rotate. At the same time, the water supply pipe 10 inputs water into the spray head 11 and sprays the water onto the outer wall of the grain. The stirring blade 9 will stir the grain and absorb water. After the grain has absorbed water, start the electric slide 3 again to move the placement net 5 to the left. At this time, the grain will move downward. Then, start the vibration motor. When the grain falls into the outer wall of the drainage net 13, the grain will move towards the material conveying plate 14 due to vibration and gravity. Finally, the grain is conveyed by the material conveying plate 14.

[0040] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply.
