Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a material unloading structure, specifically a material unloading structure for a corn washing device. Background Technology

[0002] In corn processing, cleaning is a crucial step in ensuring product quality, and the subsequent transfer of cleaned corn significantly impacts processing efficiency and corn integrity. Currently, after being cleaned by cleaning equipment (such as cleaning tanks), corn typically needs to be transferred to subsequent processing equipment via a discharge structure. In traditional transfer methods, cleaned corn often falls directly from the discharge port of the cleaning equipment to the receiving device or conveyor. Because the falling corn generates a certain impact force, and there is a lack of effective cushioning, direct collisions easily cause damage, especially for corn with tender skin or high plumpness, resulting in a higher breakage rate and directly affecting product quality and processing profits. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, this utility model provides a corn washing equipment unloading structure, which effectively solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This utility model includes a cleaning box with a discharge port and a hollowed-out chain belt rotatably connected inside the box, and also includes:

[0005] A receiving frame is fixed below the discharge port;

[0006] The rotating shaft is horizontally mounted inside the receiving frame.

[0007] Multiple receiving plates are evenly arranged circumferentially along the axis of rotation and extend axially, with the surface of each receiving plate arranged radially along the axis of rotation.

[0008] The rotation trajectory of the receiving plate intersects with the falling path of the corn at the unloading port. The receiving plate receives the falling corn and drives the rotating shaft to overcome rotational resistance, thereby weakening the impact force of the corn.

[0009] Preferably, it also includes an inner cavity, which is opened inside the rotating shaft, and the inner cavity is connected to the filling port and the drain port with control valve;

[0010] The moment of inertia of the shaft is adjusted by injecting or draining liquid into the cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the receiving plate is provided with an elastic buffer layer.

[0012] Preferably, a rotary damper is installed at both ends of the rotating shaft, and the resistance value of the rotary damper is adjustable.

[0013] Preferably, the height of one end of the rotating shaft is lower than the height of the other end, so that the corn can move along the axis of the rotating shaft when the rotating shaft rotates.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the receiving frame is provided with an inclined guide plate, the lower end of which extends to the external conveying equipment.

[0015] Beneficial effects: When the impact force of the corn drives the receiving plate to rotate the shaft, it is necessary to overcome the shaft resistance to further consume the impact force, effectively weaken the falling impact force, and reduce the damage to the corn caused by the impact.

[0016] Stable and adjustable buffering effect: The internal cavity of the shaft can adjust the moment of inertia by injecting or discharging liquid, and the two can be used together to adjust the resistance; so that the rotation characteristics of the shaft can adapt to the impact force under different corn loads and falling heights, ensuring a stable buffering effect.

[0017] Evenly distributed corn: As the shaft rotates, the corn it receives will move axially due to the height difference between the two ends of the shaft, thus achieving even distribution and facilitating subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.

[0024] Example 1, by Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a corn washing equipment unloading structure, including a washing box 1 with an unloading port and a hollow chain belt 2 rotatably connected inside the box, and further including:

[0025] The receiving frame 4 is fixedly installed below the discharge port;

[0026] The rotating shaft 5 is horizontally rotatably installed inside the receiving frame 4;

[0027] Multiple support plates 6 are evenly arranged around the circumference of the rotating shaft 5 and extend axially, with the surface of each support plate 6 arranged radially along the rotating shaft 5.

[0028] The rotation trajectory of the receiving plate 6 intersects with the falling path of the corn at the unloading port. The receiving plate 6 receives the falling corn and drives the rotating shaft 5 to overcome the rotational resistance and rotate, thereby weakening the impact force of the corn.

[0029] Washing box 1 and perforated chain belt 2: The washing box 1 is equipped with a discharge port for holding the corn to be washed and performing the washing operation. The perforated chain belt 2 is rotatably connected to the washing box 1. Its function is to transport the corn. After the corn is washed, it is transported to the discharge port by the operation of the perforated chain belt 2. The perforated chain belt 2 is also equipped with arrayed protrusions 3 to assist in the transportation of the corn.

[0030] Receiving frame 4: The receiving frame 4 is fixed below the discharge port and mainly serves to receive the corn falling from the discharge port to prevent the corn from scattering. The bottom of the receiving frame 4 is equipped with an inclined guide plate, the lower end of which extends to the external conveying equipment, which can guide the received corn to the external conveying equipment to realize the subsequent conveying of the corn.

[0031] The rotating shaft 5 and the receiving plates 6: The rotating shaft 5 is horizontally rotatable inside the receiving frame 4. Multiple receiving plates 6 are evenly arranged circumferentially along the rotating shaft 5 and extend axially. The surface of each receiving plate 6 is radially arranged along the rotating shaft 5. The rotation trajectory of the receiving plates 6 intersects with the path of the corn falling from the discharge port. When the corn falls from the discharge port, the receiving plates 6 catch the falling corn. The impact force of the corn drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate against the rotational resistance, thereby weakening the impact force of the corn and reducing the damage caused by the impact of falling corn. The surface of the receiving plates 6 is provided with an elastic buffer layer, which can further buffer the impact force when the corn falls, better protecting the corn. In addition, the height of one end of the rotating shaft 5 is lower than the height of the other end, which allows the corn to move axially along the rotating shaft 5 when the rotating shaft 5 rotates, facilitating the even distribution of the corn during transportation.

[0032] Inner cavity 7: The inner cavity 7 is located inside the rotating shaft 5. This inner cavity 7 is connected to the filling port and the drain port with control valves. By injecting or discharging liquid into the inner cavity 7, the rotational inertia of the rotating shaft 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the rotational characteristics of the rotating shaft 5 to adapt to the impact force of corn falling under different conditions.

[0033] Rotational dampers: Rotational dampers are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 5. The resistance value of the rotational dampers is adjustable. Their function is to provide rotational resistance to the rotating shaft 5. When the receiving plate 6 receives corn, it needs to overcome the resistance of the rotational dampers to make the rotating shaft 5 rotate, thereby further weakening the impact force of the corn. The resistance value can be adjusted according to actual needs, thus protecting the falling corn and the transport equipment that receives the corn.

[0034] Working principle: When this utility model is in use, after the corn is washed in the washing tank 1, the hollow chain belt 2 starts to operate. The convex plates 3 installed on its surface assist in pushing the corn forward, smoothly conveying the corn to the discharge port of the washing tank 1. As the hollow chain belt 2 continues to convey, the corn falls from the discharge port and enters the unloading stage.

[0035] The falling corn first contacts the receiving plate 6 inside the receiving frame 4. Since the receiving plates 6 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft 5, and the rotation trajectory intersects the falling path of the corn, the corn will impact the surface of the receiving plate 6. At this time, the elastic buffer layer on the surface of the receiving plate 6 will initially buffer the impact force of the corn, reducing the damage caused by direct collision.

[0036] The impact force of the corn will drive the receiving plate 6 to rotate the shaft 5. The receiving plate 6 needs to overcome the resistance of the shaft 5 to make the shaft 5 rotate. In the process of overcoming the resistance, the impact force of the corn is further consumed, effectively weakening the falling force. At the same time, the rotational dampers installed at both ends of the shaft 5 can provide adjustable rotational resistance. The moment of inertia can also be adjusted by injecting or discharging liquid into the internal cavity 7 of the shaft 5. The two can also be used together to adjust the resistance, so that the rotational characteristics of the shaft 5 can adapt to the impact force under different corn quantities and falling heights, ensuring a stable buffering effect.

[0037] As the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the corn being received moves axially due to the height difference between the two ends of the shaft 5, achieving even distribution. When the receiving plate 6 rotates to a certain angle, the corn slides off the receiving plate 6 and lands on the inclined guide plate at the bottom of the receiving frame 4. The guide plate guides the corn to the external conveying equipment connected at the lower end, completing the orderly transfer of corn from the washing equipment to the subsequent processing stage. The entire process, through the linkage and buffer design of the mechanical structure, efficiently conveys the corn while minimizing damage caused by falling impacts.

[0038] Beneficial effects: Smooth and efficient conveying: Through the design of the hollow chain belt 2 and the convex plate 3, the washed corn can be smoothly conveyed to the unloading port of the washing box 1, realizing the orderly transfer from washing to subsequent stages and ensuring conveying efficiency.

[0039] Reduce corn damage:

[0040] The elastic buffer layer on the surface of the receiving plate 6 inside the receiving frame 4 can initially buffer the impact force of the falling corn and reduce the damage caused by direct collision.

[0041] When the impact force of the corn drives the receiving plate 6 to rotate the shaft 5, it needs to overcome the resistance of the shaft 5 to further consume the impact force, effectively weaken the falling impact force, and reduce the damage to the corn caused by the impact.

[0042] Stable and adjustable buffering effect:

[0043] The rotational dampers at both ends of the shaft 5 provide adjustable rotational resistance.

[0044] The internal cavity 7 of the rotating shaft 5 can adjust the moment of inertia by injecting or discharging liquid, and the two can be used together to adjust the resistance.

[0045] These designs enable the rotation characteristics of the shaft 5 to adapt to the impact force under different corn loads and falling heights, ensuring a stable cushioning effect.

[0046] Evenly spreading the corn: As the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the corn it receives will move axially due to the height difference between the two ends of the rotating shaft 5, thus achieving even spreading and facilitating subsequent processing.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
