Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agricultural machinery technology, specifically to a corn silk separator for corn processing. Background Technology

[0002] Corn silk is the dried style and stigma of maize, a plant belonging to the genus Zea in the family Poaceae. During the harvesting and storage of corn, the crevices of corn silk easily harbor insect eggs, dust, and bacteria, and it is also prone to decay. If corn silk is not cleaned properly during long-term storage, it will accelerate the mold and spoilage of the corn, significantly shorten the shelf life, and may also contaminate surrounding food. In addition, corn silk easily carries mud, sand, and pesticide residues. If it is not thoroughly cleaned during the deep processing of corn, it will mix into the finished product, affecting the taste and hygiene indicators, and may also clog the screening parts of the processing equipment, reducing production efficiency.

[0003] Traditional corn silk separators typically only provide a rolling brush roller to clean the silks from the corn cob. However, because corn cobs vary in length, it is difficult to locate the head of the corn, and the silks at the head need to be twisted and pulled off to be completely separated. Before processing, a large amount of corn silk at the head is still mainly removed manually, which wastes a lot of manpower and reduces the processing efficiency of corn. There is a need for a corn silk separator for corn processing that can simultaneously separate and collect the silks from both the corn cob and the head. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned technical difficulties and provide a corn silk separation device for corn processing, which can make the corn stand upright and collect the silk from its stem and head separately during the transfer of corn.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: A corn silk separator for corn processing includes a support structure, a processing box with an open top and a pair of horizontally arranged support guide rods, a feeding guide chute inclined on one side, and a collection box on the other side, and further includes: The transfer brushing module includes a feeding box, with a pair of feeding boxes arranged in a mirror image on the left and right sides inside the processing box above the support guide rod, and a synchronous drive component on the top. Each feeding box has an elliptical annular groove at its bottom, and a dustproof ring belt is slidably arranged inside the elliptical annular groove. Multiple limit rods are evenly arranged on the dustproof ring belt, and a brush roller is rotatably arranged on each limit rod. After the corn slides onto the two support guide rods through the feeding guide groove, it is arranged vertically between the two pairs of brush rollers. The top silk separation module is located in the processing box below the support guide rod and is used to remove the top silk of the corn.

[0006] As an improvement, a pair of pulleys are rotatably installed inside the feeding box, and a conveyor belt is installed between the two pulleys. Multiple limiting collars are evenly arranged on the outside of the conveyor belt, and each limiting rod is movably sleeved in the corresponding limiting collar.

[0007] As an improvement, the top of the limiting upright is provided with a self-rotating gear, and each feeding box is provided with a self-rotating rack along the front and rear sides. The teeth of the self-rotating racks on both sides are arranged in the same direction, and after each gear moves to the opposite side of the two feeding boxes, it meshes with the self-rotating rack on the same side.

[0008] As an improvement, the synchronous drive assembly includes a connecting box, which is arranged horizontally to the left and right. Transmission bevel gears are rotatably arranged on both sides of the bottom, and the shafts of each transmission bevel gear are connected to the shafts of the corresponding pulleys. A synchronous rotating rod is rotatably arranged inside the connecting box, and synchronous bevel gears that mesh with the transmission bevel gears on the same side are arranged at both ends of the synchronous rotating rod. A transfer motor is arranged on the top of the connecting box, and the drive shaft of the transfer motor is connected to the shaft of one of the transmission bevel gears.

[0009] As an improvement, the top whisker separation module includes a rotating cylinder, with a pair of cylinders vertically arranged in a mirror image inside the processing box. Each rotating cylinder has a turntable rotatably arranged inside it, and multiple arc-shaped clamping plates are evenly arranged circumferentially on the opposite sides of the two turntables. Each arc-shaped clamping plate abuts against the adjacent arc-shaped clamping plates on both sides. A clamping pad is provided on one side, and a hexagonal sleeve is provided on the other side. Multiple sleeve grooves are evenly arranged circumferentially on the turntable, and each hexagonal sleeve is slidably arranged in the corresponding sleeve groove.

[0010] As an improvement, each hexagonal sleeve is slidably provided with a hexagonal pressure rod, and a limiting groove is provided on the inner wall. A compression spring is provided between one end of the hexagonal pressure rod and the hexagonal sleeve, and a limiting slider is provided on the outer wall corresponding to the limiting groove. The limiting slider is slidably provided in the corresponding limiting groove.

[0011] As an improvement, the other end of the hexagonal pressure rod is rotatably equipped with a magnetic ball, and curved stepped disks are respectively sleeved and fixed on the opposite sides of the two rotating cylinders, and each magnetic ball is magnetically attracted to the curved stepped disk on the same side.

[0012] As an improvement, a transmission rod is rotatably installed inside the processing box. The transmission rod is arranged horizontally to the left and right, with one end rotatably mounted on the processing box and the other end connected to the drive shaft of a separate motor installed outside the processing box. Two turntables are respectively sleeved and fixed on the transmission rod.

[0013] As an improvement, a slot is provided on one side of the bottom of the processing box, and a dustproof box is slidably installed through the slot. The dustproof box is filled with water and has an open top.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: 1. This utility model uses brush rollers and support guide rods to transfer and support the corn, keeping the corn in an upright position with its head down, which makes it easier to expose and grab the corn silk at the bottom. Moreover, through the synchronous rotation of each brush roller, the corn rotates, which transfers the corn silk clamped and separated by the support guide rods between the two support guide rods, and simulates the twisting action during manual separation, reducing the impact and damage of top silk separation on the corn, making it more convenient to use. 2. This utility model is equipped with a top-fiber separation module, which can clamp and pull down the corn silk at the head of the corn. With the support of the support guide rod and the rotation of the corn, the corn can be effectively separated from the corn silk at the head quickly. At the same time, the brush roller rotates to hook and sweep the silk on the corn cob, resulting in a better silk removal effect, higher corn processing efficiency, and greater convenience of use. 3. This utility model is equipped with a dustproof box containing water, which can effectively collect and wet the separated corn silk, prevent the corn silk from floating up and forming dust, and avoid re-contaminating the corn and equipment, thereby improving the corn silk separation effect and making it more convenient to use.

Additionally, the term "comprising" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] A corn silk separator for corn processing, combined with an attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes a support structure 1, which includes a processing box 11. The top of the processing box 11 is open and has a pair of support guide rods 12 arranged horizontally along the front and back. A feeding guide groove 2 is inclined on one side, and a collection box 6 is provided on the other side. A sluice is opened on one side of the bottom, and a dustproof box 13 is slidably installed through the sluice. The dustproof box 13 is filled with water and has an open top. A top-fiber separation module 5 is provided in the processing box 11 below the support guide rods 12, and a pair of transfer brush sweeping modules 3 are provided in the processing box 11 above the support guide rods 12. The two transfer brush sweeping modules 3 are respectively driven and connected to the synchronous drive assembly 4 provided on the top.

[0028] In the above description, the transfer brushing module 3 is driven by the synchronous drive component 4. The corn is vertically arranged with its head facing down in the feeding guide trough 2. Under the action of gravity, it slides onto the two support guide rods 12 (the corn head is engaged between the two support guide rods 12, and the corn silk is exposed below the support guide rods 12). The transfer brushing module 3 brushes away the silk on the side of the corn. The corn is then horizontally transported and rotated by the transfer brushing module 3. After passing over the top silk separation module 5, the corn is exposed on the support guide rods 12. The corn silk at the bottom is tightly gripped by the top silk separation module 5, and through its own rotation and the downward pull of the top silk separation module 5, the corn silk at the top separates from the corn and falls into the dustproof box 13 below. After the corn silk is wetted with water, its own weight increases, preventing it from being blown up by the airflow and forming dust, which would contaminate the equipment and the separated corn. The separated corn continues to be transferred by the transfer brush sweeping module 3 and falls into the collection box 6. The top of the collection box 6 is open and the inside is filled with water, thereby reducing the risk of injury and damage caused by the falling corn.

[0029] Combined with appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 As shown, the transfer brush module 3 includes a feeding box 31. A pair of feeding boxes 31 are mirror-image arranged in the processing box 11 above the support guide rod 12. Each feeding box 31 has an elliptical annular groove 32 at its bottom (each elliptical annular groove 32 includes a pair of parallel straight grooves and a pair of semi-circular arc grooves). A dustproof ring belt 37 is slidably arranged within the elliptical annular groove 32. Multiple limiting rods 35 are evenly arranged on the dustproof ring belt 37, and a brush roller 36 is rotatably mounted on each limiting rod 35. Each feeding box 31 also has a brush roller 36 rotatably mounted on it. A pair of pulleys 33 are provided, and a conveyor belt 34 is provided between the two pulleys 33. Multiple limiting rings are evenly provided on the outer side of the conveyor belt 34, and each limiting rod 35 is movably sleeved in the corresponding limiting ring. A self-rotating gear 38 is provided on the top of each limiting rod 35, and a self-rotating rack 39 is provided in each feeding box 31 along the front and rear transverse direction. The teeth of the self-rotating racks 39 on both sides are arranged facing the same side, and after each rotating gear 38 moves to the opposite side of the two feeding boxes 31, it meshes with the self-rotating rack 39 on the same side.

[0030] Combined with appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 6As shown, the synchronous drive assembly 4 includes a connecting box 41, which is arranged horizontally to the left and right. Transmission bevel gears 43 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the bottom, and the shafts of each transmission bevel gear 43 are connected to the shafts of the corresponding pulleys 33. A synchronous rotating rod 44 is rotatably arranged inside the connecting box 41, and synchronous bevel gears 45 that mesh with the transmission bevel gears 43 on the same side are respectively arranged at both ends of the synchronous rotating rod 44. A transfer motor 42 is arranged on the top of the connecting box 41, and the drive shaft of the transfer motor 42 is connected to the shaft of one of the transmission bevel gears 43.

[0031] As described above, after the transfer motor 42 starts, the two pulleys 33 rotate in opposite directions, causing the brush rollers 36 on opposite sides of the two feeding boxes 31 to move horizontally in the same direction. After the corn slides onto the two support guide rods 12 through the feeding guide groove 2, it is vertically arranged between the two pairs of brush rollers 36, so that the corn silk at the head is exposed below the support guide rods 12. During the movement of the brush rollers 36, the self-rotating gear 38 meshes with the self-rotating rack 39, so that each brush roller 36 rotates synchronously in the same direction. The bristles clean and separate the corn silk on the side of the corn cob, while driving the corn to rotate. During the rotation of the corn, each part of its own position contacts the brush rollers 36, improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, all the corn silk at the head is gathered between the two support guide rods 12, preventing some corn silk from being stuck on the support guide rods 12 or arranged outside the two support guide rods 12.

[0032] Combined with appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 7 Appendix Figure 8 Appendix Figure 9As shown, the top-fiber separation module 5 includes a rotating cylinder 51, with a pair of cylinders vertically arranged in a mirror image within the processing box 11. Each rotating cylinder 51 contains a rotating disk 52, and curved stepped disks 57 are fixedly fitted onto opposite sides. Ten sleeve grooves are evenly arranged circumferentially on each of the two rotating disks 52, and ten arc-shaped clamping plates 53 are evenly arranged circumferentially on opposite sides. Each arc-shaped clamping plate 53 abuts against adjacent arc-shaped clamping plates 53 on both sides (the ten arc-shaped clamping plates 53 connect end-to-end to form a complete ring). A clamping pad 531 is provided on one side, and a hexagonal sleeve 54 is provided on the other side. Each hexagonal sleeve 54 is slidably disposed within its corresponding sleeve groove, and a limiting groove 541 is provided on the inner wall of one end, while a hexagonal pressure rod 55 is slidably disposed at the other end. One end of the cylinder 55 is provided with a limiting top post 552, and a compression spring 553 is provided between it and the hexagonal sleeve 54. A limiting slider 551 is provided on the outer wall corresponding to the limiting groove 541. A magnetic ball 56 is rotatably provided at the other end. The limiting slider 551 is slidably provided in the corresponding limiting groove 541, and each magnetic ball 56 is magnetically attracted to the curved step plate 57 on the same side (the thickest part of the curved step plate 57 is set at an angle upward, so that the two arc-shaped clamping plates 53 on both sides are clamped directly above the rotating cylinder 51). A transmission rod 58 is rotatably provided inside the processing box 11. The transmission rod 58 is arranged horizontally to the left and right, and one end is rotatably provided on the processing box 11. The other end is connected to the drive shaft of the separate motor 59 provided outside the processing box 11. The two rotating disks 52 are respectively sleeved and fixed on the transmission rod 58.

[0033] As described above, after the separation motor 59 starts, the turntable 52 drives each arc-shaped clamping plate 53 to rotate. Under the action of the curved stepped plate 57, the arc-shaped clamping plates 53 on both sides clamp directly above the rotating cylinder 51, grabbing and fixing the corn silk passing above. As the turntable 52 continues to rotate, the hexagonal pressure rod 55 extends into the hexagonal sleeve 54, compressing the compression spring 553 and increasing the clamping force of the arc-shaped clamping plates 53 until the limiting top post 552 abuts against the hexagonal sleeve 54, preventing the arc-shaped clamping plates 53 from separating. During the clamping process... If the corn head is clamped between the two arc-shaped clamps 53, it will slide upward and bounce up under the action of its own conical structure to prevent it from being crushed. The soft corn silk is tightly clamped between the two arc-shaped clamps 53. After the turntable 52 continues to rotate, it will drive the clamping arc-shaped clamps 53 to move to the side and downward. In conjunction with the rotation of the corn itself, it will simulate the twisting and pulling action when manually removing corn silk, so that all the corn silk is separated from the corn. After the arc-shaped clamps 53 rotate to the bottom, they will start to separate, so that the corn silk falls into the dust box 13 below for wetting.

[0034] In this embodiment, during implementation: the transfer motor 42 is started, and the two pulleys 33 rotate in opposite directions, causing the brush rollers 36 on opposite sides of the two feeding boxes 31 to move horizontally in the same direction. The corn is then vertically arranged with its head facing down in the feeding guide trough 2. Under the action of gravity, it slides onto the two support guide rods 12 and is then vertically arranged between the two pairs of brush rollers 36, exposing the corn silks at the head below the support guide rods 12. During the movement of the brush rollers 36, the self-rotating gear 38 meshes with the self-rotating rack 39, causing each brush roller 36 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. The bristles clean and separate the corn silks on the side of the corn cob, while simultaneously driving the corn to rotate. During the rotation of the corn, all its parts come into contact with the brush rollers 36, improving the cleaning effect and ensuring that all the corn silks at the head are removed. The corn is drawn between the two support guide rods 12, and the separation motor 59 is started. The turntable 52 drives each arc-shaped clamping plate 53 to rotate. The arc-shaped clamping plates 53 on both sides clamp the corn directly above the rotating drum 51. After the corn passes directly above the rotating drum 51, the corn silk is tightly clamped between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 53. After the turntable 52 continues to rotate, it drives the clamping arc-shaped clamping plates 53 to move to the side and downward. In conjunction with the rotation of the corn itself, it simulates the twisting and pulling action when manually removing corn silk, so that all the corn silk is separated from the corn. After the arc-shaped clamping plates 53 rotate to the bottom, they begin to separate, so that the corn silk falls into the dustproof box 13 below for wetting to avoid dust formation. After being separated from the corn silk, the corn processing continues to be transferred by the transfer brush sweeping module 3 and falls into the collection box 6 for collection.

[0035] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
