Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn production technology, specifically to a graded corn washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] A large amount of corn needs to be cleaned before consumption or processing, which has led to the development of efficient and professional corn cleaning equipment.

[0003] As a common food, corn is attracting increasing attention from consumers regarding its taste and hygiene. In particular, frozen fresh corn occupies a large market share, which requires corn to undergo efficient and clean cleaning during processing to ensure its quality and safety. This has driven the development of efficient cleaning equipment such as corn washing machines.

[0004] Current technology involves stirring and scrubbing corn kernels in water during cleaning. However, corn kernels contain impurities such as corn silk and broken leaves, which easily get tangled on the brush. This results in poor cleaning and can also lead to bacterial growth if not cleaned promptly. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the technical problem that corn kernels contain impurities such as corn silk and broken leaves, which easily get tangled on the brush, resulting in poor cleaning and bacterial growth if not cleaned in time. Therefore, a graded corn washing machine is provided.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a graded corn washing machine, comprising: a flotation washing mechanism, a feeding mechanism connected to the upper part of the flotation washing mechanism, the flotation washing mechanism being fixed by a bracket, a transport mechanism connected to the lower part of the flotation washing mechanism, the flotation washing mechanism including a flotation chamber, an overflow port provided at the upper part of the flotation chamber, a washing cylinder concentrically connected to the lower end of the flotation chamber, a brush shaft concentrically rotatably connected to the top wall of the flotation chamber, and spiral brushes spirally arranged and connected to the brush shaft inside the washing cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a spray chamber, the lower end of which is connected to the top wall of the flotation chamber, and the upper part of which is connected to a water tank. The water tank is connected to a liquid pump through an inlet pipe. A nozzle is connected to the bottom of the water tank. A feed pipe is concentrically connected inside the water tank. The lower end of the feed pipe extends into the spray chamber. A concentric tapered guide plate with gaps is provided at the lower part of the feed pipe. The edge of the tapered guide plate is connected to the inner wall of the spray chamber with gaps. The tip of the tapered guide plate points upward. A vortex baffle is connected to the tapered guide plate.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the cleaning drum is connected to a vertical row of brushes.

[0009] Preferably, the transport mechanism includes a horizontal conveying section, a horizontal conveying cylinder connected to the lower end of the flotation cleaning mechanism, an inclined conveying cylinder connected to the end of the horizontal conveying cylinder, a discharge cylinder connected to the end of the inclined conveying cylinder, a first spiral blade shaft rotatably connected to the end side wall of the horizontal conveying cylinder, a second spiral blade shaft rotatably connected to the end side wall of the inclined conveying cylinder, and the height of the inclined conveying cylinder is higher than the height of the overflow port.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] By combining the flotation mechanism with the washing mechanism, after the corn falls into the water, impurities such as silk and leaves float to the surface and are discharged through the overflow port, while the corn kernels sink into the washing cylinder. Under the action of the spiral brush and the washing cylinder, the corn kernels are brushed and then transported to the conveying mechanism for discharge, thus avoiding the problem of impurities getting tangled in the brush.

[0012] Before entering the flotation chamber, the corn kernels are sprayed to prevent air bubbles from being difficult to dislodge when the dry corn enters the water, which would cause the plump corn kernels to float. The corn kernels travel along the vortex baffle, which extends the spraying stroke and also pre-washes surface impurities, resulting in a better cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0019] The rotary connection described in this device refers to the axial fixation of the bearing by mounting the bearing on the shaft, with a spring retaining ring groove provided on the shaft or shaft hole, and the rotation achieved by locking the elastic retaining ring in the retaining ring groove; the hinge connection refers to the connection method that allows movement through connecting parts such as hinges, pins, and short shafts.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This embodiment describes a graded corn washing machine, comprising: a flotation washing mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2 connected to the upper part of the flotation washing mechanism 1, the flotation washing mechanism 1 being fixed by a bracket 3, a transport mechanism 4 connected to the lower part of the flotation washing mechanism 1, the flotation washing mechanism 1 including a flotation chamber 11, an overflow port 12 provided at the upper part of the flotation chamber 11, a washing cylinder 13 concentrically connected to the lower end of the flotation chamber 11, a brushing shaft 14 concentrically rotatably connected to the top wall of the flotation chamber 11, and spiral brushes 15 spirally arranged and connected to the brushing shaft 14 inside the washing cylinder 13.

[0022] By combining the flotation mechanism with the washing mechanism, corn and water are injected into the flotation chamber 11 through the feeding mechanism 2. Impurities such as silk and leaves float to the surface and are discharged through the overflow port 12, while corn kernels sink into the washing cylinder 13. The power drives the brushing shaft 14 and the spiral brush 15 to rotate. Under the action of the spiral brush 15 and the washing cylinder 13, the corn kernels are brushed and then transported to the conveying mechanism 4 for discharge. This avoids the problem of impurities getting tangled in the brush and also completes the grading of shriveled and plump corn kernels.

[0023] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a spray chamber 21. The lower end of the spray chamber 21 is connected to the top wall of the flotation chamber 11. The upper part of the spray chamber 21 is connected to a water tank 22. The water tank 22 is connected to a liquid pump through a liquid inlet pipe 23. A nozzle 24 is connected to the bottom of the water tank 22. A feed pipe 25 is concentrically connected inside the water tank 22. The lower end of the feed pipe 25 extends into the spray chamber 21. A concentric tapered guide plate 26 is provided at the lower part of the feed pipe 25 with a gap. The edge of the tapered guide plate 26 is connected to the inner wall of the spray chamber 21 with a gap. The tip of the tapered guide plate 26 points upward. A vortex baffle 27 is connected to the tapered guide plate 26.

[0024] Corn kernels fall through the feed pipe 25 between the vortex baffles 27 on the upper part of the conical guide plate 26 and slide down the inclined surface of the conical guide plate 26. Water is pumped into the inlet pipe 23 and the water tank 22 by the liquid pump. The water is discharged through the nozzle 24 and refracted to spray the lower part. The water flow flows along the channel of the vortex baffles 27 and the conical guide plate 26, washing the corn kernels. At the same time, the kernels will not be retained in the channel due to friction. This avoids the problem of air bubbles not easily falling off during the flotation of dry corn, which causes plump corn kernels to float. The corn kernels move along the vortex baffles, which not only extends the spraying stroke, but also pre-washes the surface impurities, resulting in a better cleaning effect.

[0025] The inner wall of the cleaning drum 13 is connected to a vertical row of brushes 16.

[0026] The rotating spiral brush 15 works in conjunction with the fixed vertical brush 16 to improve the cleaning effect.

[0027] The transport mechanism 4 includes a horizontal conveying section 41. The horizontal conveying cylinder 41 is connected to the lower end of the flotation cleaning mechanism 1. The end of the horizontal conveying cylinder 41 is connected to an inclined conveying cylinder 42. The end of the inclined conveying cylinder 42 is connected to a discharge cylinder 43. A first spiral blade shaft 44 is rotatably connected to the end side wall of the horizontal conveying cylinder 41. A second spiral blade shaft 45 is rotatably connected to the end side wall of the inclined conveying cylinder 42. The height of the inclined conveying cylinder 42 is higher than the height of the overflow port 12.

[0028] The corn kernels falling from the washing cylinder 13 enter the horizontal conveying section 41. The power drives the first spiral blade shaft 44 to rotate and convey the corn into the inclined conveying cylinder 42. The power drives the second spiral blade shaft 45 to rotate and convey the corn at an angle to the discharge cylinder 43 above the liquid surface for discharge, thus completing the separation from the water.
