Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of grain processing technology, and in particular to a soaking device for grain processing. Background Technology
[0002] Soaking some grains allows them to fully absorb water, softening their firm structure and making them more porous. This facilitates subsequent processing steps such as crushing and grinding. Soaked grains are easier to crush or grind, resulting in higher yields and more uniform and finer textures. High-temperature soaking can also kill bacteria in the raw materials, reducing microbial contamination and improving product quality.
[0003] Currently, most equipment uses static soaking. During the soaking process, some grains tend to float on the surface of the liquid, resulting in uneven water absorption. After soaking, the grains sink to the bottom and need to be manually retrieved and separated, which is cumbersome and inefficient. To address these issues, we propose a soaking device for grain processing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a soaking device for grain processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A soaking device for grain processing includes a shell, a support frame fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shell, a hydraulic push rod fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod, two connecting blocks fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame, a first bearing embedded in the outer surface of each connecting block, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the inner rings of the two first bearings, a rotating screen cylinder fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod, and a transmission mechanism fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shell.
[0007] In a further embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a motor, and a second bearing is embedded in the inner sidewall of the housing.
[0008] In a further embodiment, the inner ring of the second bearing is fixedly connected to a first limiting slide rod, and the outer surface of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a second limiting slide rod.
[0009] In a further embodiment, a first transmission block is slidably connected to the outer surface of the first limiting slide rod, and an elastic element is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first transmission block and the inner sidewall of the outer shell.
[0010] In a further embodiment, a sliding block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame, a slider is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sliding block, and a second transmission block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slider.
[0011] In a further embodiment, two support blocks are fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the outer shell, and two limiting plates are fixedly connected to the upper surface of each support block. The outer surfaces of each pair of limiting plates are slidably connected to the outer surface of each connecting block.
[0012] In a further embodiment, a drain valve is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the housing, a plurality of baffles are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the rotating screen cylinder, and an observation glass is fixedly connected to the front of the housing.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] This device, by placing grain into a rotating screen cylinder and using a hydraulic pusher, completely submerges the cylinder and grain in the soaking solution. A transmission mechanism drives the rotating rod and the rotating screen cylinder to rotate, causing the grain to move and be agitated. This effectively prevents floating and settling, ensuring the grain absorbs water and softens evenly, improving subsequent processing efficiency and finished product quality. The hydraulic pusher lifts the rotating screen cylinder and grain, eliminating the need for manual retrieval, simplifying the operation and reducing labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 In this utility model, a soaking device for grain processing includes a shell 1. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the shell 1. A hydraulic push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame 2. A connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod 3. Two connecting blocks 5 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting frame 4. A first bearing 6 is embedded in the outer surface of each connecting block 5. A rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the two first bearings 6. A rotating screen cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 7. A transmission mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the shell 1. The rotating screen cylinder 8 is driven to descend by the hydraulic push rod 3. With the help of the transmission mechanism 9, the grain can be completely submerged below the liquid level and rotated and turned, which can effectively avoid floating and sedimentation and ensure that the grain material is soaked evenly.
[0025] The transmission mechanism 9 includes a motor 901. A second bearing 902 is embedded in the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A first limiting slide rod 906 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the second bearing 902. A second limiting slide rod 905 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 7. A first transmission block 903 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the first limiting slide rod 906. An elastic element 904 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first transmission block 903 and the inner wall of the outer casing 1. An anti-corrosion layer is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the elastic element 904. By moving the first transmission block 903 between the first limiting slide rod 906 and the second limiting slide rod 905, the motor 901 drives the first limiting slide rod 906 to rotate. The rotation of the first limiting slide rod 906 drives the first transmission block 903 to rotate. The first transmission block 903 drives the second limiting slide rod 905 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 and the rotating screen cylinder 8 connected to the second limiting slide rod 905 to rotate.
[0026] A sliding block 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support frame 2. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the sliding block 10. A second transmission block 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the slider 11. Two support blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the outer shell 1.

An observation glass 17 is fixedly connected to the front of the outer shell 1. By moving the slider 11, the second transmission block 12 is inserted into the second limiting slide bar 905, which can limit the rotation of the rotating screen cylinder 8 and prevent it from rotating when filling grain. By setting the support block 13 and the limiting plate 14, the rotating screen cylinder 8 is supported and limited.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] When using this device, pour the soaking solution into the outer casing 1, move the slider 11, insert the second transmission block 12 into the second limiting slide bar 905, open the rotating screen cylinder 8, put the grain into the rotating screen cylinder 8, and close the rotating screen cylinder 8. Move the second transmission block 12 and the first transmission block 903 to the right, control the hydraulic push rod 3 to drive the rotating screen cylinder 8 to move downward, so that the rotating rod 7 is aligned with the first limiting slide bar 906. Under the action of the elastic element 904, push the first transmission block 903, so that the first transmission block 903 is positioned between the first limiting slide bar 906 and the second limiting slide bar 905. Turn on the motor 901 to drive the first limiting slide bar 906, the first transmission block 903, the second limiting slide bar 905 and the rotating rod 7 to rotate, so that the rotating screen cylinder 8 drives the grain to turn over.
