Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for corn processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern corn processing industry, washing and dehydration are indispensable key links. Their treatment effect directly affects the quality of subsequent corn processing products and production efficiency. With the development of large-scale and automated corn processing industry, traditional corn washing equipment has gradually exposed many drawbacks and is difficult to meet the industry's growing production needs.

[0003] Traditional corn washing equipment often uses static soaking or simple mechanical rinsing. During the washing process, the corn does not come into sufficient contact with the water flow, which cannot effectively remove the mud, impurities and dirt attached to the surface of the corn as well as the dirt in the internal crevices. This washing method is not only inefficient but also has poor cleaning effect, resulting in impurities remaining in the corn products after subsequent processing, which affects the product quality and taste. At the same time, traditional washing devices lack an effective stirring auxiliary structure, making it difficult to achieve all-round cleaning of the corn and leaving cleaning dead spots.

[0004] In the dehydration process, traditional equipment often uses natural drainage or simple centrifugal dehydration. Natural drainage takes a long time, which seriously affects production efficiency and the dehydration effect is unstable. Simple centrifugal dehydration equipment has a simple structure and poor water discharge during the dehydration process, which can easily lead to incomplete dehydration and increase the cost and time of subsequent drying processes. In addition, traditional cleaning and dehydration equipment is often single-function, requiring separate configuration of cleaning and dehydration equipment. The equipment occupies a large area and has low space utilization, which increases the company's equipment procurement costs and factory space costs.

[0005] In terms of equipment protection, traditional devices do not pay enough attention to waterproof and corrosion-proof design. Water leakage during the cleaning process can easily damage the electrical components of the equipment and shorten its service life. Water spun out during dehydration may also enter key components such as motors, causing equipment failure, increasing equipment maintenance costs and downtime for repairs, and reducing the company's production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: it includes a base, on which a support column is fixedly connected, on which a slide rail is fixedly connected, on which a fixing plate is fixedly connected, and on which a first motor is fixedly connected;

[0008] The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a lead screw, and a slider is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The slider is slidably connected to the slide rail, and one end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the top of the support column.

[0010] An outer dehydration bucket is fixedly connected to the base. A second motor is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the outer dehydration bucket. An inner dehydration bucket is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. Through holes are arrayed on the inner dehydration bucket. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the outer dehydration bucket. The protective cover is rotatably connected to the output end of the second motor.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing strip is provided between the bucket lid and the washing bucket.

[0012] Preferably, the dehydration inner barrel has an array of through holes.

[0015] Preferably, the lid is located at the bottom of the washing tub.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) The corn processing cleaning device uses a first motor to drive a screw to lift the cleaning barrel, a hydraulic device to control the lifting of the spiral stirring device, and a second motor to drive the dehydration inner barrel to rotate. This reduces manual operation, lowers labor intensity, and improves production efficiency, making the corn processing flow more continuous and efficient. The dehydration inner barrel rotates at high speed under the drive of the second motor, using centrifugal force to achieve rapid dehydration. Compared with natural draining and other methods, it greatly shortens the dehydration time. At the same time, the through-hole design of the dehydration inner barrel allows water to drain smoothly, ensuring the dehydration effect and reducing the drying cost and time of subsequent corn processing.

[0018] (2) The sealing strip between the lid and the washing bucket of the corn processing washing device prevents water leakage during the washing stage and avoids damage to the equipment due to water erosion; the protective cover protects the second motor and prevents water thrown out during the dehydration process from entering the motor, thus extending the service life of the equipment, reducing the equipment maintenance cost, and improving the stability of equipment operation.

The use of terms like "first" and "second" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the quantity or sequence of the indicated technical features.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a cleaning device for corn processing, including a base 1, a support column 2 fixedly connected to the base 1, a slide rail 5 fixedly connected to the support column 2, a fixed plate 8 fixedly connected to the slide rail 5, a first motor 3 fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8, a lead screw 4 fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 3, a slider 6 threadedly connected to the lead screw 4, the slider 6 being slidably connected to the slide rail 5, one end of the lead screw 4 being rotatably connected to the top of the support column 2, and a cleaning bucket 7 fixedly connected to the slider 6. The first motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 6 to slide on the slide rail 5, and thus driving the cleaning bucket 7 to rise and fall.

[0030] A hydraulic device 9 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8. A spiral stirring device 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic device 9. A rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the cleaning tank 7. A bucket cover 11 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft 12. The bucket cover 11 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 7. The bucket cover 11 is opened and closed by rotating the rotating shaft 12 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 7. A sealing strip is provided between the bucket cover 11 and the cleaning tank 7 to prevent water leakage.

[0031] A dehydration outer tub 13 is fixedly connected to the base 1. A second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the dehydration outer tub 13. A dehydration inner tub 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 14. Through holes are arrayed on the dehydration inner tub 15 for drainage. A protective cover 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the dehydration outer tub 13. The protective cover 16 is inverted U-shaped and is rotatably connected to the output end of the second motor 14. The protective cover 16 is used to prevent water from entering the second motor 14. A drain pipe 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dehydration outer tub 13.

[0032] Both the hydraulic device 9 and the spiral stirring device 10 are known technical means. For those skilled in the art, these technical means can be easily implemented without the need for creative experiments, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0033] Working principle: When in use, the first motor 3 is started, and its output end drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. Since the slider 6 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 4 and also slides with the slide rail 5, the slider 6 slides down along the slide rail 5 under the rotation of the lead screw 4, thereby driving the washing bucket 7 fixed on the slider 6 to descend to the appropriate position. The operator puts the corn into the washing bucket 7, and then the first motor 3 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the washing bucket 7 to rise to the initial position.

[0034] After entering the cleaning stage, the hydraulic device 9 on the fixed plate 8 is activated, and the spiral stirring device 10 at its bottom descends into the cleaning tank 7. The spiral stirring device 10 rotates and stirs the water flow and corn, so that the surface of the corn is effectively removed by the dual action of water flow rinsing and mechanical stirring. During the cleaning process, the tank lid 11 is kept sealed by the sealing strip to prevent the cleaning water from leaking.

[0035] After cleaning, the process enters the drainage and dehydration stage. The rotating shaft 12 on one side of the cleaning tank 7 rotates, causing the lid 11 to open. The cleaning water flows out from the bottom of the cleaning tank 7 under the action of gravity. Then, the cleaning tank 7 descends above the outer dehydration tank 13, and the corn is poured into the inner dehydration tank 15. The second motor 14 on the base 1 starts, driving the inner dehydration tank 15 to rotate at high speed. Since the inner dehydration tank 15 has through holes, under the action of centrifugal force, the water in the corn is thrown out through the through holes and enters the outer dehydration tank 13. The protective cover 16 effectively prevents the thrown water from entering the second motor 14, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment. After dehydration is completed, the processed corn can be taken out for further processing.

[0036] The first motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to lift the cleaning tank 7, the hydraulic device 9 controls the lifting of the spiral stirring device 10, and the second motor 14 drives the dehydration inner tank 15 to rotate, reducing manual operation links, reducing labor intensity, improving production efficiency, and making the corn processing process more continuous and efficient.

[0037] The dehydration inner barrel 15 rotates at high speed under the drive of the second motor 14, and uses centrifugal force to achieve rapid dehydration. Compared with natural draining and other methods, it greatly shortens the dehydration time. At the same time, the through-hole design of the dehydration inner barrel 15 allows water to drain smoothly, ensuring the dehydration effect and reducing the drying cost and time of subsequent corn processing.

[0038] The sealing strip between the lid 11 and the washing tank 7 prevents water leakage during the washing stage and avoids damage to the equipment due to water erosion; the protective cover 16 protects the second motor 14, prevents water splashed out during the dehydration process from entering the second motor 14, extends the service life of the equipment, reduces equipment maintenance costs, and improves the stability of equipment operation.

[0039] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model 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 utility model.
