Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing technology, specifically to a novel intelligent feeding device for corn peeling machines. Background Technology
[0002] Sweet corn refers to tender corn with a unique flavor and quality, characterized by its sweetness, glutinous texture, tenderness, and aroma compared to regular corn. As people's living standards improve, the market demand for sweet corn is increasing, making its preservation and processing particularly important. Because the edible part of sweet corn consists of immature, tender kernels with vigorous respiration and metabolism, rapid sugar conversion, and susceptibility to dehydration and spoilage, it is difficult to store for long periods. For long-term storage or year-round market supply, quick-freezing preservation is necessary.
[0003] Currently, fresh corn is usually peeled by machine. However, the feeding device of most corn peeling machines cannot ensure that the roots and heads of the fresh corn are facing the same direction. The fresh corn is not well distributed during the feeding process and cannot be effectively transported to the corn peeling machine. It needs to be picked up manually again, which affects the working efficiency of the corn peeling machine. Utility Model Content
