Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0023] A starch washing device for starch production includes a fixed support 1 and a fixed support 2 fixedly installed on the ground. The fixed support 1 and the fixed support 2 are equipped with a sand removal mechanism 3 for separating sand from starch slurry. One end of the sand removal mechanism 3 is equipped with a conveying pipe 4 for conveying starch slurry, and the other end of the sand removal mechanism 3 is equipped with a filtering mechanism 5 for filtering sand from starch slurry. The sand removal mechanism 3 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism 6 for cleaning sand.

[0024] In this embodiment, the sand removal mechanism 3 includes a water guide channel 301, which is fixedly connected to a fixed bracket 1 and a fixed bracket 2. A plurality of strip-shaped through holes 302 are evenly opened on the inclined section of the water guide channel 301. A sealing plate 303 is provided below the water guide channel 301 and is closely attached to it. The sealing plate 303 is used to seal the bottom end of the strip-shaped through holes 302 to prevent starch slurry from leaking out. A cleaning mechanism 6 is provided on the sealing plate 303. Two hydraulic rods 304 are fixedly installed on the ground. The movable ends of the two hydraulic rods 304 are at different heights. A support plate 305 is fixedly connected to the movable end of each hydraulic rod 304. Both support plates 305 are fixedly connected to the sealing plate 303.

[0025] In this embodiment, a conveying pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the higher end of the water guide channel 301, and a water dividing block 306 is fixedly connected to the inclined section of the water guide channel 301. A plurality of water dividing holes 307 are evenly opened on the bottom surface of the water dividing block 306, and a stepped square hole 308 is opened on the lower end of the water guide channel 301. A filter mechanism 5 is provided at the stepped square hole 308.

[0026] In this embodiment, the filter mechanism 5 includes a sealing ring 501, which is fixedly connected in the stepped square hole 308. A fixing frame 502 is slidably inserted into the sealing ring 501, and a filter screen plate 503 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 502. Several magnets 504 are evenly arranged at the stepped square hole 308, and the material of the fixing frame 502 can be attracted by the magnets 504.

[0027] In this embodiment, two handles are symmetrically fixedly connected to the fixing frame 502. The handles facilitate the removal of the fixing frame 502 and the filter screen 503 from the stepped square hole 308.

[0028] In this embodiment, the sealing ring 501 is tightly attached to the outside of the fixing frame 502, thereby preventing starch slurry from flowing out from the gap between the fixing frame 502 and the stepped square hole 308.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 6 includes a water outlet pipe 601, which is fixedly connected to the higher end of the sealing plate 303. A water distribution plate 602 is fixedly connected inside the water outlet pipe 601. A plurality of water distribution holes 603 are evenly opened on the water distribution plate 602. A connecting pipe 604 is also fixedly connected to the water outlet pipe 601. A water valve 605 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 604. The water valve 605 is connected to the water supply pipe 606. A water collection tank 607 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sealing plate 303. Both ends of the water collection tank 607 are fixedly connected to end plates 608. One of the end plates 608 has a water outlet hole 609.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water valve 605 includes a three-way valve body 6051. The side port of the three-way valve body 6051 is connected to the connecting pipe 604, and the lower port of the three-way valve body 6051 is connected to the water pipe 606. A cap 6052 is fixedly connected to the upper port of the three-way valve body 6051. A push rod 6053 is slidably connected to the cap 6052. The upper end of the push rod 6053 abuts against the water guide groove 301, and a sealing plug 6054 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the push rod 6053. A spring 6055 in a stretched state is connected between the cap 6052 and the sealing plug 6054. A convex ring 6056 is provided inside the three-way valve body 6051, and the sealing plug 6054 abuts against the convex ring 6056 to block water from flowing into the connecting pipe 604.

[0031] In this embodiment, a collection bucket 7 for collecting starch slurry with sand removed is placed on the fixed bracket 2, and the collection bucket 7 is located directly below the filter screen plate 503.

[0032] The working process of this starch washing device for starch production is as follows:

[0033] The starch slurry is transported to the water guide trough 301 through the conveying pipe 4. The starch slurry flows from the high point to the low point of the water guide trough 301. When the starch slurry passes through the water divider block 306, it is divided by the water divider hole 307, thus spreading horizontally throughout the entire water guide trough 301. When the starch slurry passes through the strip-shaped through hole 302, due to the difference in specific gravity between sand and starch particles, the sand settles faster in the water. Most of the sand will settle on the sealing plate 303, while the starch particles will continue to move due to the water flow. When the starch slurry reaches the lower end of the water guide trough 301, the filter screen plate 503 will filter out the remaining sand in the starch particles, further enhancing the sand removal effect.

[0034] After a period of use, the sand accumulated on the device needs to be cleaned off. At this time, the flow of starch slurry into the guide groove must be stopped first. Then, the two hydraulic rods 304 should be simultaneously retracted by a certain length, causing the sealing plate 303 to move downwards a certain distance. The valve, which is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 303 via the water outlet pipe 601 and connecting pipe 604, will also move downwards a certain distance. Under the tension of the spring 6055, the sealing plug 6054 and the push rod 6053 move upwards relative to the three-way valve body 6051. This allows water in pipe 606 to pass through three-way valve body 6051, connecting pipe 604 and outlet strip pipe 601. At this time, the water flowing out from outlet strip pipe 601 will flush the sand accumulated on the surface of sealing plate 303 downwards, allowing the sand to enter the water collection tank 607, thus cleaning the sand on sealing plate 303. As for the sand on filter screen plate 503, the fixing frame 502 and filter screen plate 503 need to be removed from the stepped square hole 308 first, and then the sand on filter screen plate 503 needs to be cleaned.

[0035] After cleaning, move the hydraulic rod 304 back up and reset it. Then, place the fixed frame 502 and the filter screen 503 back into the stepped square hole 308, and the starch slurry can be fed in again for sand washing.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
