Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn processing technology, and more specifically, to a soaking device for corn refining. Background Technology

[0002] Maize belongs to the genus *Zea* of the tribe Zea within the family Poaceae, and its scientific name is *Zea*.

[0003] Currently, corn soaking is a common process in corn refining. Before soaking, the corn kernels are small in size due to water loss and dryness, and some shriveled kernels may remain. These shriveled kernels are inconvenient to clean during soaking. As the soaking time increases, the specific gravity of the corn kernels decreases, causing them to float on the water surface. The corn kernels floating on the water surface are exposed to the air and lose water, which affects the thoroughness and sufficiency of the soaking. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a soaking device for corn refining to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0027] The inner surface of the soaking tank 110 has an annular groove 111 that matches the annular frame 220. A sealing strip is fixed to the annular groove 111. The annular frame 220 is slidably engaged inside the annular groove 111. The annular groove 111 and the sealing strip are designed to seal the connection after the annular frame 220 is inserted, thus preventing water leakage at the joint. Support members 120 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the soaking tank 110. The support member 120 includes a support column 121 and a support pad 122. The support column 121 is fixed to the bottom of the soaking tank 110, and the support pad 122 is fixed to the support column 121. Here, the support member 120 can keep the soaking tank 110 away from the ground to reduce corrosion.

[0028] The flow guide 130 includes a flow guide hopper 131 and a flow guide hose 132. The flow guide hopper 131 is fixed at one end of the soaking tank 110 and is located below the flow guide plate 230. The flow guide hose 132 is connected and fixed below the flow guide hopper 131. The flow guide 130 is used to guide and transfer the overflowing liquid.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 The cleaning and agitation structure 200 includes a lifting component 210, an annular frame 220, an inlet pipe 240, and a servo motor 270. The lifting component 210 is fixed on both sides of the soaking tank 110. The annular frame 220 is fixed to the output end of the lifting component 210. A pressure mesh 221 is fixed inside the annular frame 220. A flow guide notch 222 is formed at one end of the annular frame 220. A flow guide plate 230 is fixed on the flow guide notch 222. A filter hole 231 is opened on the flow guide plate 230. The inlet pipe 240 is fixed at the other end of the annular frame 220. A fixing frame 250 is fixed on the top surface of the annular frame 220. An agitator 260 is installed on the fixing frame 250. The servo motor 270 is installed on the top surface of the fixing frame 250 and connected to the agitator 260.

[0030] The lifting component 210 includes a side plate 211 and an electric cylinder 212. The side plate 211 is fixed on both sides of the soaking tank 110, and the electric cylinder 212 is symmetrically installed on the side plate 211. A connecting plate 213 is fixed to the output end of the electric cylinder 212, and the connecting plate 213 is fixed to the annular frame 220. The annular frame 220 can be lifted upward by the operation of the electric cylinder 212. The liquid inlet pipe 240 includes a liquid inlet bend 241 and a liquid inlet hose 242. The liquid inlet bend 241 is fixed above the other end of the annular frame 220, and the liquid inlet hose 242 is connected and fixed to the liquid inlet bend 241. The liquid inlet hose 242 is connected to an external liquid inlet pipe. Here, the liquid inlet pipe 240 can be connected to an external water pipe, so as to facilitate the delivery of external liquid to the inside of the soaking tank 110 for corn soaking.

[0031] The agitator 260 includes several agitator rods 261, one end of which is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 250. The agitator rods 261 rotate through the pressure mesh 221. Agitator plates 262 are symmetrically fixed on the agitator rods 261. A transmission sprocket 263 is keyed to each agitator rod 261. The transmission sprockets 263 are connected to each other by a transmission chain 264. The end of the output shaft of the servo motor 270 is connected to the upper end of one agitator rod 261. Here, the servo motor 270 drives one agitator rod 261 to rotate. Then, under the action of the transmission sprocket 263 and the transmission chain 264, the agitator rods 261 can be driven to rotate. In this way, the agitator plates 262 can agitate the soaked corn, so that the soaking is more thorough and the impurities of the shriveled corn can be easily discharged.

[0032] Specifically, the working principle of the soaking device for corn refining is as follows: During use, corn is added to the soaking tank 110. At this time, the electric cylinder 212 drives the annular frame 220 to be placed in the annular groove 111. Simultaneously, the inlet hose 242 is connected to an external water pipe, and the guide hose 132 is connected to an external collection cylinder. Water is injected into the soaking tank 110 through the inlet hose 242 and the inlet bend 241, raising the water level to the guide opening 222. Then, the servo motor 270 drives the agitator 260 to rotate. During the agitation process, the corn is stirred. The corn kernels are broken up to ensure that each kernel is fully in contact with the soaking solution. This also allows shriveled kernels and floating impurities to quickly float to the surface through the pressure screen 221 and then flow outwards through the guide plate 230 along with the water flow. Under the action of the pressure screen 221, the corn kernels remain in the soaking solution throughout the long soaking process. This facilitates the cleaning of impurities from the corn kernels during use and helps to keep the corn kernels in the soaking solution at all times, thereby improving the quality of the soaking and making the process more thorough and convenient.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the electric cylinder 212 and the servo motor 270 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0034] The power supply and operating principle of the electric cylinder 212 and the servo motor 270 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
