Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing technology, and in particular to a pellet cleaning device for corn processing. Background Technology
[0002] During the processing of corn, the corn kernels need to be washed to remove impurities such as sand, debris, and corn silk, so that they can be processed further.
[0003] Currently, corn kernel cleaning equipment typically involves directly feeding corn kernels into the cleaning machine. This results in a large amount of sand, debris, and other impurities from the corn kernels entering the machine directly. This not only increases the difficulty of cleaning and makes it easy for the corn kernels to not be thoroughly cleaned, but also increases the maintenance frequency of the cleaning machine due to the large amount of impurities entering it.
[0004] Therefore, to address the above problems, a corn kernel cleaning device can be designed, which integrates a pre-extraction function in the feed hopper of the cleaning machine. This function pre-screens and removes a large amount of sand, debris, and other impurities from the corn kernels before conveying them into the cleaning machine. This can improve the cleaning effect of the corn kernels, reduce the cleaning pressure on the cleaning machine, and effectively reduce the maintenance frequency of the cleaning machine.

The air supply assembly can supply air into the rinsing tank, thereby forming bubbles in the water, turning the corn kernels and improving the cleaning effect. The feeding hopper 4 adds the corn kernels to be cleaned to the conveyor belt 3 in the washing tank 2. The two sets of screen plates 401 can separate larger and smaller impurities from the corn kernels and discharge them through the two discharge ports 402, leaving only the dust adsorbed on the surface of the corn kernels to be added to the conveyor belt 3 in the washing tank 2 through the feeding port 403. The vibration motor 404 can drive the feeding hopper 4 to vibrate, improving the screening effect of the screen plate 401.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, a first drain pipe 202 is connected to one end of the cleaning tank 2. The first drain pipe 202 is located below the conveyor belt 3, and a drain valve 201 is provided at the connection between the first drain pipe 202 and the cleaning tank 2. By setting the drain valve 201, the first drain pipe 202 can be controlled. When cleaning and maintaining the cleaning tank 2, the first drain pipe 202 can be opened to discharge the sediment and impurities in the cleaning tank 2. Overflow grooves 203 are provided on both sides of the cleaning tank 2. Multiple sets of guide plates 204 are fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank 2. The multiple sets of guide plates 204 are arranged linearly, and the side walls of the guide plates 204 are inclined. Sewage tanks 205 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cleaning tank 2. A second drain pipe 206 is connected to one end of the sewage tank 205. By setting the overflow groove 203, the first drain pipe 206 can be connected to one end of the cleaning tank 2. The trough 203 connects the sewage tank 205 and the cleaning pool 2. Floating particles and lighter impurities can be guided by the guide plate 204 and carried into the sewage tank 205 for collection. Then, they are discharged from the sewage tank 205 through the second drain pipe 206. A protective rubber strip 301 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning pool 2. The protective rubber strip 301 is located above the conveyor belt 3. Multiple sets of through holes 302 are opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, and multiple sets of baffles 303 are fixedly installed on the surface of the conveyor belt 3. The protective rubber strip 301 can prevent corn kernels from accidentally falling off the conveyor belt 3. The through holes 302 can prevent water from accumulating on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, facilitating the discharge of cleaned corn kernels. The baffles 303 assist the conveyor belt 3 in supporting and conveying the corn kernels on its surface.
[0024] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3In this embodiment, the rinsing assembly includes a water supply pipe 501, rinsing nozzles 502, and a water inlet 503. The water supply pipe 501 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the cleaning tank 2. Multiple sets of rinsing nozzles 502 are arranged linearly at the lower end of the water supply pipe 501. The rinsing nozzles 502 are staggered with the guide plate 204 below. A water inlet 503 is installed through one side of the water supply pipe 501. By providing the water inlet 503, it can be connected to an external water supply device to supply clean water to the inside of the water supply pipe 501, which is then sprayed out by the rinsing nozzles 502 to rinse the conveyor belt 3 below, thereby cleaning the corn kernels. The staggered arrangement of the rinsing nozzles 502 and the guide plate 204 can assist in rinsing... Bad particles and impurities floating on the water surface are guided into the wastewater tank 205 by the guide plate 204; the air conveying assembly includes an air passage pipe 601, a jet nozzle 602 and a blower 603. The air passage pipe 601 is fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank 2 and is located below the conveyor belt 3. Multiple sets of jet nozzles 602 are arranged in a matrix at the upper end of the air passage pipe 601. The blower 603 is fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning tank 2 and its output end is connected to the air passage pipe 601. By setting the blower 603, air can be blown into the air passage pipe 601 and then sprayed out through the jet nozzles 602, generating bubbles in the water in the cleaning tank 2, thereby agitating the corn kernels on the surface of the conveyor belt 3 and cleaning them.
[0025] During operation, the corn kernels to be cleaned are added to the conveyor belt 3 in the washing tank 2 using the feeding hopper 4. Two sets of screen plates 401 can separate larger and smaller impurities from the corn kernels and discharge them from the feeding hopper 4 through two discharge ports 402. Only the dust adsorbed on the surface of the corn kernels is left to be added to the conveyor belt 3 in the washing tank 2 through the feeding port 403 along with the corn kernels. The vibration motor 404 can drive the feeding hopper 4 to vibrate, thereby improving the screening effect of the screen plate 401.
[0026] The process involves conveying corn kernels within the washing tank 2, with protective rubber strips 301 preventing accidental detachment of the kernels from the conveyor belt 3. A water inlet 503 connects to an external water supply system, supplying clean water to the inside of the water pipe 501 and spraying it out through the rinsing nozzles 502 to rinse the conveyor belt 3 below. Additionally, a blower 603 blows air into the air pipe 601, which is then sprayed out through the nozzles 602, generating bubbles in the water within the washing tank 2. This agitates the corn kernels on the surface of the conveyor belt 3, thus cleaning them.
[0027] Lighter impurities and damaged particles removed during cleaning will float on the water surface. These floating particles and lighter impurities can be guided by the guide plate 204 and follow the water flow through the overflow trough 203 into the sewage tank 205 for collection. They are then discharged from the sewage tank 205 through the second sewage pipe 206. The overflow trough 203 can also prevent the water level in the cleaning pool 2 from becoming too high. Finally, the cleaned corn kernels will be discharged from the cleaning pool 2 along the conveyor belt 3.
[0028] Through the above steps, the corn kernels to be cleaned are added to the conveyor belt 3 in the washing tank 2 via the feeding hopper 4. The two sets of screen plates 401 in the feeding hopper 4 can pre-treat the added corn kernels, removing larger and smaller impurities in advance, effectively improving the cleaning effect of the corn kernels, while reducing the cleaning pressure of the washing machine and effectively reducing the maintenance frequency of the washing machine. This solves the problem that current corn kernel cleaning equipment usually directly feeds the corn kernels into the cleaning equipment for cleaning, and a large amount of sand, debris and other impurities in the corn kernels will directly enter the washing machine, which not only increases the cleaning difficulty and easily leads to the corn kernels not being cleaned thoroughly, but also increases the maintenance frequency of the washing machine due to the large amount of impurities entering the washing machine.
[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.
