Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn kernel storage technology, and in particular to a corn kernel storage device with a screening structure. Background Technology

[0002] As an important food crop, corn kernels can be further processed to produce corn flour or eaten directly as food. During the harvest season, the hulled corn kernels need to be stored in a unified manner to effectively prevent pests and rodents and ensure the safe storage of corn kernels.

[0003] In the current corn kernel processing process, to ensure the quality of subsequent processing, it is necessary to screen out corn kernels that are too small or not fully grown. However, most traditional storage devices have a relatively simple structure and often only have the function of sealing and storing, which is relatively limited and may increase the burden on subsequent processing.

[0004] Therefore, given that existing storage devices have limited functionality and cannot screen corn kernels, a corn kernel storage device with a screening structure can be designed. By using vibration screening, smaller particles can be removed while storing corn kernels, increasing the device's functionality, simplifying subsequent processing steps, reducing workload, and thus effectively enhancing the device's practical value. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problem that most storage devices have a relatively simple structure and often only have the function of sealed storage, which has a relatively single function and may increase the burden of subsequent processing operations and lead to an increase in workload, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a corn kernel storage device with a screening structure, including a storage tank, a discharge pipe, a support frame, a feed hopper, a connecting hose, a connecting rigid pipe, a material frame, screen holes, an electric telescopic rod, a damping support rod, a sealing cover, and a vibration motor. The bottom of the storage tank is provided with a discharge pipe, the outside of the storage tank is provided with a support frame, the top of the storage tank is provided with a connecting hose, the top of the connecting hose is provided with a connecting rigid pipe, the inside of the connecting hose is provided with a material frame, the bottom of the material frame is provided with screen holes, the top of the support frame is provided with an electric telescopic rod, the outer telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod is provided with a damping support rod, the outer telescopic end of the damping support rod is provided with a sealing cover, the top of the sealing cover is provided with a vibration motor, and the top of the sealing cover is provided with a feed hopper.

[0007] Preferably, the storage tank is fixed by a support frame, the placement of the material frame is clearly defined by a connecting hose, and a sealing cover is connected by a connecting rigid pipe. The height of the sealing cover is flexibly adjusted by a telescopic electric telescopic rod. The sealing cover seals the storage tank, and corn kernels are poured into the sealing cover through a feed hopper. A vibration motor drives the sealing cover to vibrate continuously, allowing the connecting hose to flexibly connect to the storage tank. A damping support rod flexibly connects to the sealing cover, ensuring synchronous vibration of the sealing cover and the connecting hose. This vibration causes the material frame to vibrate, allowing smaller, inferior corn kernels to fall through the sieve holes into the storage tank. Corn kernels of the appropriate size remain in the material frame for storage. The screened corn kernels are discharged from the storage tank using a discharge pipe. This process simultaneously stores corn kernels and removes smaller particles, increasing the functionality of the device, simplifying subsequent processing steps, and enhancing its practical value.

[0008] Preferably, multiple sets of equidistant sieve holes are provided, and two sets of electric telescopic rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sealing cover. The sealing cover is located directly above the connecting rigid pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a first solenoid valve is installed on the outside of the discharge pipe, and a control panel is installed on the top of the support frame. The control panel is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve, the electric telescopic rod, and the vibration motor.

[0010] Preferably, a limiting ring is provided on the inner side of the bottom end of the connecting hose, a pull rod is provided on the top end of the material frame, and an annular groove is provided on the bottom outer side of the material frame, with the limiting ring engaging with the annular groove.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing groove is provided at the top of the connecting rigid pipe, and a sealing ring block is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover, with the sealing ring block fitting into the sealing groove.

[0012] Preferably, the outer telescopic end of the damping support rod is provided with a connecting plate, and the top outer end of the sealing cover is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate.

[0013] Preferably, a second solenoid valve is provided on the outside of the feed hopper, and the second solenoid valve is electrically connected to the control panel.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] During storage, the storage tank is supported and fixed by a support frame. The material frame is placed inside the connecting hose. The height of the sealing cover is flexibly adjusted by a telescopic electric telescopic rod. The sealing cover seals the storage tank through a connecting rigid pipe. Corn kernels are poured into the sealing cover through the feed hopper. The vibration motor drives the sealing cover to vibrate continuously. The connecting hose flexibly connects to the storage tank, and the damping support rod flexibly connects to the sealing cover, ensuring that the sealing cover and the connecting hose vibrate synchronously. This causes the material frame to vibrate, allowing smaller, inferior corn kernels to fall into the storage tank through the sieve holes. Corn kernels of the appropriate size remain in the material frame for storage. The corn kernels that are screened out of the storage tank are discharged uniformly through the discharge pipe. This addresses the problem that most storage devices often only have the function of sealing and storing, which is relatively simple and may increase the burden on subsequent processing. This enhances the practical value of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2This utility model provides an embodiment of a corn kernel storage device with a screening structure, including a storage tank 1, a discharge pipe 2, a support frame 3, a feed hopper 12, a connecting hose 4, a connecting rigid pipe 5, a material frame 6, a sieve 7, an electric telescopic rod 8, a damping support rod 9, a sealing cover 10, and a vibration motor 11. The discharge pipe 2 is located at the bottom of the storage tank 1, the support frame 3 is located on the outside of the storage tank 1, the connecting hose 4 is located at the top of the storage tank 1, the connecting rigid pipe 5 is located at the top of the connecting hose 4, and a connecting rigid pipe 5 is located on the inside of the connecting hose 4. The material frame 6 has a screen hole 7 at its bottom end, and multiple sets of screen holes 7 are equally spaced. The top of the support frame 3 is equipped with an electric telescopic rod 8, and two sets of electric telescopic rods 8 are symmetrically arranged. The outer telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 8 is equipped with a damping support rod 9, and the outer telescopic end of the damping support rod 9 is equipped with a sealing cover 10. The electric telescopic rods 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the sealing cover 10. The sealing cover 10 is located directly above the connecting rigid pipe 5. The top of the sealing cover 10 is equipped with a vibration motor 11, and the top of the sealing cover 10 is equipped with a feed hopper 12.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a first solenoid valve 201 is provided on the outside of the discharge pipe 2, and a control panel 301 is provided on the top of the support frame 3. The control panel 301 is electrically connected to the first solenoid valve 201, the electric telescopic rod 8, and the vibration motor 11. The control panel 301 flexibly controls the operating status of each electric structure of the device, and the first solenoid valve 201 flexibly controls the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 2, thereby discharging the screened corn kernels as needed. A limit ring 401 is provided on the inner side of the bottom end of the connecting hose 4, and a pull rod 601 is provided on the top of the material frame 6. An annular groove 602 is opened on the bottom of the outer side of the material frame 6. The limit ring 401 is engaged with the annular groove 602. Pulling the pull rod 601 flexibly picks up and puts down the material frame 6, moves the material frame 6 into the connecting hose 4, and makes the limit ring 401 engage with the annular groove 602, thereby facilitating the recovery of the stored corn kernels.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a sealing groove 501 is provided at the top of the connecting rigid pipe 5, and a sealing ring block 1001 is provided at the bottom of the sealing cover 10. The sealing ring block 1001 is fitted and connected with the sealing groove 501. When the sealing cover 10 is moved down, the sealing ring block 1001 is embedded in the sealing groove 501, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the device and stably connecting the sealing cover 10 and the connecting rigid pipe 5. A connecting plate 901 is provided at the outer telescopic end of the damping support rod 9. The outer top of the sealing cover 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 901. The sealing cover 10 is fixedly connected through the connecting plate 901, so that the damping support rod 9 and the sealing cover 10 are flexibly connected. A second solenoid valve 1201 is provided on the outer side of the feed hopper 12. The second solenoid valve 1201 is electrically connected to the control panel 301. The control panel 301 controls the second solenoid valve 1201, and the second solenoid valve 1201 is used to flexibly control the opening and closing state of the feed hopper 12, so as to flexibly pour the peeled corn kernels into the device for screening and storage.

[0025] Before storage, the device is fixed in the designated position by the support frame 3. Pull the pull rod 601 to put the material frame 6 into the connecting hose 4, so that the limit ring 401 is inserted into the ring groove 602. Send a retraction command to the electric telescopic rod 8 through the control panel 301. Retract the electric telescopic rod 8 to drive the sealing cover 10 on the connecting plate 901 to move down, so that the sealing ring block 1001 is embedded in the sealing groove 501 of the connecting hard pipe 5.

[0026] When storing corn kernels, the second solenoid valve 1201 is controlled by the control panel 301 to open the feed hopper 12, and the corn kernels are poured into the material frame 6 through the feed hopper 12. At the same time, the vibration motor 11 is turned on to drive the sealing cover 10 and the connecting hose 4 to vibrate, causing the damping support rod 9 to vibrate, which in turn drives the material frame 6 to vibrate synchronously, so that the smaller corn kernels in the material frame 6 pass through the screen hole 7 and fall into the storage tank 1.

[0027] Finally, the vibration motor 11 stops running, the discharge pipe 2 is opened through the first solenoid valve 201, the inferior corn kernels in the storage tank 1 are discharged through the discharge pipe 2, the electric telescopic rod 8 is extended to open the sealing cover 10, the pull rod 601 is pulled to take out the material frame 6, and the corn kernels stored in the material frame 6 are collected in a unified manner.

[0028] Through the above steps, the storage tank 1 is supported and fixed by the support frame 3, the placement position of the material frame 6 is determined by the connecting hose 4, the sealing cover 10 is connected by the connecting rigid pipe 5, and the placement height of the sealing cover 10 is flexibly adjusted by the telescopic electric telescopic rod 8. The storage tank 1 is sealed by the sealing cover 10, and the corn kernels are poured into the sealing cover 10 through the feed hopper 12. The vibration motor 11 is controlled to drive the sealing cover 10 to vibrate continuously, so that the connecting hose 4 is flexibly connected to the storage tank 1, and the sealing cover 10 is flexibly connected by the damping support rod 9, ensuring that the sealing cover 10 and the connecting hose 4 vibrate synchronously, thereby driving the material frame 6 to vibrate. This causes the smaller, inferior corn kernels to fall into the storage tank 1 through the sieve holes 7, while the corn kernels that meet the size requirements are stored in the material frame 6. The corn kernels that are screened out in the storage tank 1 are discharged uniformly by the discharge pipe 2, thus storing corn kernels while screening out smaller particles, increasing the functionality of the device and simplifying subsequent processing steps.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
