Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tiger nut processing equipment, specifically a raw material soaking device for tiger nut processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tiger nuts, as an economic crop with high comprehensive utilization value, have broad application prospects in multiple fields such as food and oil. In the processing of tiger nuts, soaking the raw materials is a crucial pretreatment step, which has a significant impact on subsequent processing techniques and product quality.

[0003] Existing tiger nut soaking devices have revealed numerous problems in practical applications, the most prominent being the lack of effective stirring methods. Without proper stirring during soaking, uneven concentrations in the soaking solution can easily occur. This is because solutes in the solution gradually accumulate at the bottom of the container under the influence of gravity and molecular diffusion, while the concentration at the top is relatively low. When tiger nut are soaked, those in high-concentration areas may be over-soaked, leading to nutrient loss, poor taste, and reduced subsequent processing performance. Conversely, those in low-concentration areas may be under-soaked, making it difficult to fully extract the effective components during subsequent processing, severely impacting the overall processing quality of the tiger nut. Therefore, this invention provides a tiger nut soaking device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a water storage tank is installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate, and a first water pump is installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate, with the input end of the first water pump connected to the outer surface of the water storage tank.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the output end of the first water pump is connected to a water supply pipe, and the end of the water supply pipe away from the first water pump is connected to a tee pipe. The outer surface of the tee pipe is connected to two water supply branch pipes, and each water supply branch pipe is connected to a fan-shaped spray head after passing through a support frame at the end away from the tee pipe.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a filter box is installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate, and a second water pump is installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate, with the input end of the second water pump connected to the outer surface of the soaking tank.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the output end of the second water pump is connected to a second infusion pipe, and the end of the second infusion pipe away from the second water pump is connected to the upper surface of the filter box.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a filter plate is installed inside the filter box, a guide plate is installed inside the filter plate, and an outlet pipe is connected to the outer surface of the filter box.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This invention utilizes a motor to drive the stirring shaft and impeller, which thoroughly stirs the tiger nuts in the stirring tank. Simultaneously, the through-holes on the outer surface of the stirring tank create a liquid channel between the soaking tank and the stirring tank, allowing the soaking liquids inside both to circulate. Under the stirring action, the tiger nuts continuously tumble, and the soaking liquid circulates internally and externally. This process effectively prevents solute accumulation at the bottom of the container, solving the problem of some tiger nuts being over-soaked and others under-soaked due to uneven local concentrations. This significantly improves the consistency of the tiger nut soaking effect. Furthermore, the coordinated operation of the spiral heating tube and the temperature sensing module maintains the activity of the soaking liquid under low-temperature conditions, preventing a decrease in soaking efficiency due to excessively low temperatures.

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.

[0024] This utility model provides a raw material soaking device for processing tiger nuts, including a supporting base plate 1, a soaking tank 10 installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate 1, two supporting plates 22 installed inside the soaking tank 10, a stirring tank 19 installed on the upper surface of the two supporting plates 22, a plurality of through holes 20 opened on the outer surface of the stirring tank 19, a supporting frame 14 installed on the upper surface of the supporting base plate 1, a motor 26 installed on the upper surface of the supporting frame 14, a stirring shaft 21 installed after the output end of the motor 26 passes through the supporting frame 14, a plurality of stirring blades 25 are installed on the outer surface of the stirring shaft 21, a spiral heating tube 24 is installed on the inner wall of the soaking tank 10, and a temperature sensing module 27 is installed inside the soaking tank 10. The temperature sensing module 27 adopts a platinum resistance temperature sensor to detect the temperature in real time.

[0025] like Figure 3As shown, a water storage tank 8 is installed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1, and a first water pump 23 is installed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1. The input end of the first water pump 23 is connected to the outer surface of the water storage tank 8. The first water pump 23 pumps the extracted soaking solution through the water supply pipe 11, the three-way pipe 15, the water supply branch pipe 12 and other paths, and finally delivers it to the fan-shaped spray head 13 to ensure that the soaking solution can reach the soaking area smoothly.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the output end of the first water pump 23 is connected to a water supply pipe 11, and the end of the water supply pipe 11 away from the first water pump 23 is connected to a three-way pipe 15. The outer surface of the three-way pipe 15 is connected to two water supply branch pipes 12. Each water supply branch pipe 12 is connected to a fan-shaped spray head 13 after passing through the support frame 14 at the end away from the three-way pipe 15.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a filter box 4 is installed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1, and a second water pump 18 is installed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1. The input end of the second water pump 18 is connected to the outer surface of the soaking tank 10. The second water pump 18 draws the used soaking solution from the soaking tank 10 and enters the filter box 4 through the second infusion pipe 6 for filtration.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the output end of the second water pump 18 is connected to the second infusion pipe 6, and the end of the second infusion pipe 6 away from the second water pump 18 is connected to the upper surface of the filter box 4.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, a filter plate 16 is installed inside the filter box 4, and a guide plate 17 is installed inside the filter plate 16. The outer surface of the filter box 4 is connected to an outlet pipe 5. The filter plate 16 filters impurities, and the guide plate 17 guides the filtered soaking solution to be discharged through the outlet pipe 5.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a controller 7 is installed on the upper surface of the support base plate 1, a pusher 9 is installed on the outer surface of the controller 7, and multiple support legs 2 are installed on the bottom surface of the support base plate 1. Each support leg 2 has a movable wheel 3 installed at its bottom end. The movable wheel 3 is driven by pushing the pusher 9 to facilitate the movement of the device.

[0031] Working principle: First, the operator places the tiger nuts to be soaked into the mixing tank 19. Then, the first water pump 23 is started. The soaking solution in the water storage tank 8 is pumped to the water supply pipe 11 via the first water pump 23, and then distributed to two branch water supply pipes 12 via the three-way pipe 15. Finally, the solution is evenly sprayed by the fan-shaped spray nozzles 13 onto the tiger nuts inside the soaking tank 10 and the mixing tank 19. During the spraying process, the operator can adjust the working status of the first water pump 23 through the controller 7 to precisely control the spray volume. Next, according to the soaking requirements of the tiger nuts, the appropriate soaking temperature is set through the controller 7. The temperature sensing module 27 monitors the temperature inside the soaking tank 10 in real time and transmits the data to the controller 7. When the temperature is lower than the set value, the controller 7 automatically starts the spiral heating tube 24 to heat the soaking solution until the set temperature is reached, then stops heating and maintains a constant temperature. Then, the motor 26 is started, which drives the stirring shaft 21 to rotate. Multiple stirring blades 25 on the stirring shaft 21 stir the tiger nuts in the stirring tank 19. Since the outer surface of the stirring tank 19 has multiple through holes 20, the soaking liquid in the soaking tank 10 and the stirring tank 19 can flow to each other through the through holes 20. Under the stirring action, the tiger nuts can be soaked evenly, which greatly improves the soaking effect. After soaking is completed, if it is necessary to recycle the soaking liquid, the second water pump 18 can be started. The soaking liquid in the soaking tank 10 is transported to the second liquid delivery pipe 6 by the second water pump 18, and then enters the filter box 4. In the filter box 4, the soaking liquid is filtered by the filter plate 16, and the impurities are effectively intercepted. The filtered soaking liquid is discharged through the liquid outlet pipe 5 under the guidance of the guide plate 17. It can be recycled to the water storage tank 8 for reuse or other treatment according to actual needs.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
