Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barley food processing technology, and in particular to a barley heat preservation and soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] Highland barley, a specialty grain crop in high-altitude and cold regions such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in my country, is rich in dietary fiber, high-quality protein, and various minerals. It is widely used in food processing, brewing, and animal feed. In the deep processing of highland barley, soaking is one of the key pretreatment steps. Its core purpose is to allow the highland barley grains to fully absorb water and swell, softening the cell walls and laying the foundation for subsequent grinding, cooking, fermentation, and other processes. The soaking effect directly affects the quality of the final product and production efficiency.

[0003] Traditional equipment often employs a single stirring structure or no active stirring design. This leads to stratification of barley in the soaking solution, with the upper layer having sufficient contact with the solution while the lower layer tends to accumulate. This results in significant differences in water absorption across different areas, causing uneven ripening and insufficient grinding fineness during subsequent processing, affecting product consistency. Furthermore, the density of barley particles is greater than that of the soaking solution. During prolonged soaking, a large amount of barley tends to settle to the bottom of the device, forming a sediment layer. This sediment cannot effectively contact fresh soaking solution, leading to insufficient water absorption and potential particle breakage due to compression. Cleaning this sediment layer is also difficult, increasing equipment maintenance costs. Some devices with stirring functions use constant-pitch impellers, which cannot adjust the stirring intensity according to the material state in different areas. The bottom material is insufficiently stirred, while the top material is easily over-stirred, leading to particle breakage. It is difficult to balance stirring effectiveness and material integrity. Moreover, a single stirring direction makes it difficult to create a three-dimensional circulation, resulting in slow soaking solution renewal and further reducing soaking efficiency. Therefore, this application provides a barley heat preservation and soaking device to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a barley heat preservation and soaking device to solve the problems of poor soaking uniformity, serious bottom sedimentation, and insufficient stirring efficiency of barley heat preservation and soaking devices.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A barley soaking and heat preservation device includes a device body with a feed inlet at the top and a flow guiding and stirring assembly inside. The power structure of the flow guiding and stirring assembly is installed at the top of the device body, and an anti-deposition assembly is installed at the bottom of the device body. The power structure of the anti-deposition assembly is installed on the side of the device body. The flow guiding and stirring assembly is equipped with three sets of variable pitch spiral stirring paddles. The flow guiding and stirring assembly is used to improve the soaking effect of the barley. The anti-deposition assembly starts and stops synchronously with the flow guiding and stirring assembly and is used for the circulation of the material fluid at the bottom.

[0006] Optionally, the flow guiding and stirring assembly includes a protective box, a motor is installed inside the protective box, the drive end of the motor is driven by a drive shaft, and the drive shaft enters downward into the interior of the device body.

[0007] Optionally, the drive shaft is equipped with three worm gears from top to bottom, and each worm gear is threadedly connected to two worm wheels.

[0008] Optionally, the bottom worm gear is sleeved on a rotating shaft, and a plurality of spiral agitators are mounted on the rotating shaft, with the shortest pitch between two adjacent spiral agitators.

[0009] Optionally, the worm gear in the middle is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and a plurality of spiral agitators 2 are installed on the rotating shaft 2, with a relatively long pitch between two adjacent spiral agitators 2.

[0010] Optionally, the top worm gear is sleeved on the rotating shaft three, and a plurality of spiral stirring paddles three are installed on the rotating shaft three, with the longest pitch between two adjacent spiral stirring paddles three.

[0011] Optionally, the first, second, and third rotating shafts are of the same length.

[0012] Optionally, the anti-deposition component includes a circulation pump, one end of which is connected to a pipe, which is connected to the interior of the device body, and the pipe is located in the high-deposition zone at the center of the tank bottom, and a filter screen is installed on the pipe.

[0013] Optionally, the other end of the circulating pump is connected to a second pipe, and the second pipe is connected upward to an annular pipe.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of high-pressure nozzles are installed on the annular pipe, and the nozzle direction of the high-pressure nozzles is set to be inclined downward along the material stirring direction.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: In the above scheme, a flow guiding and stirring component is set up. The flow guiding and stirring component adopts three sets of variable pitch spiral stirring paddles. The bottom short pitch strengthens the stirring, the middle medium pitch stabilizes the mixing, and the top long pitch promotes circulation. Combined with the multi-axis synchronous rotation of equal-length rotating shafts and worm gear drives, a hybrid output of longitudinal and transverse power is formed, which avoids material stratification and allows the barley to fully contact the soaking liquid in all areas of the device, greatly improving the soaking uniformity and efficiency.

[0016] By incorporating an anti-deposition component that starts and stops synchronously with the flow guiding and stirring component, a circulating pump selectively extracts material fluid from the high-deposition area at the bottom center of the tank. After passing through a filter screen to prevent clogging, the fluid is sprayed downwards along the stirring direction by a high-pressure nozzle in a ring-shaped pipe, forming an impact flow. This not only washes away the potentially deposited barley at the bottom but also transports the fluid from the bottom to the top to participate in circulation, constructing a three-dimensional circulating stirring system to achieve full-tank material fluid circulation and prevent localized deposition.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a barley heat preservation and soaking device, including a device body 1. The top of the device body 1 is provided with a feed inlet 101. The device body 1 is provided with a flow guiding and stirring component 2. The power structure of the flow guiding and stirring component 2 is installed on the top of the device body 1. The bottom of the device body 1 is provided with an anti-deposition component 3. The power structure of the anti-deposition component 3 is installed on the side of the device body 1. The flow guiding and stirring component 2 is provided with three sets of variable pitch spiral stirring paddles. The flow guiding and stirring component 2 is used to improve the soaking effect of barley. The anti-deposition component 3 starts and stops synchronously with the flow guiding and stirring component 2. The anti-deposition component 3 is used for the circulation of the material fluid at the bottom. The variable pitch spiral stirring paddle design forms a gradient fluid movement from bottom to top. The short pitch at the bottom enhances agitation and prevents deposition, the medium pitch in the middle achieves stable mixing, and the long pitch at the top promotes circulation and diffusion, taking into account the material needs of different areas and improving the overall soaking uniformity and effect.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the flow guiding and stirring assembly 2 includes a protective box 201, inside which a motor 202 is installed. The drive end of the motor 202 is connected to a drive shaft 203, which enters the device body 1 downwards. Three worm gears 204 are installed on the drive shaft from top to bottom. Each worm gear 204 is threadedly connected to two worm wheels 205. The bottom worm wheel 205 is fitted onto a rotating shaft 206, on which several spiral stirring paddles 207 are installed. The pitch between two adjacent spiral stirring paddles 207 is the shortest. The middle worm wheel 205 is fitted onto a rotating shaft 208, on which several spiral stirring paddles 207 are installed. The rotary agitator 209 has a relatively long pitch between two adjacent rotary agitators 209. The top worm gear 205 is mounted on the rotating shaft 210, which is equipped with several rotary agitators 211. The pitch between two adjacent rotary agitators 211 is the longest. The rotating shafts 206, 208, and 210 are of the same length. The worm gear 204 and worm wheel 205 drive the multiple rotating shafts to rotate synchronously. The combination of equal-length rotating shafts and variable-pitch blades ensures that the material at the top is in full contact with the soaking liquid, while also strengthening the mixing force in the middle and bottom, achieving a hybrid output of longitudinal and transverse power, avoiding material stratification, and improving soaking efficiency.

[0028] like Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the anti-deposition component 3 includes a circulation pump 301. One end of the circulation pump 301 is connected to a pipe 302, which is connected to the interior of the device body 1. The pipe 302 is located in the high-deposition area at the center of the tank bottom. A filter screen 306 is installed on the pipe 302. The other end of the circulation pump 301 is connected to a pipe 303. The pipe 303 is connected upward to an annular pipe 304. Several high-pressure nozzles 305 are installed on the annular pipe 304. The nozzles of the high-pressure nozzles 305 are set to be inclined downward along the direction of material stirring. By starting and stopping synchronously with the stirring component, the fluid in the high-deposition area at the bottom is specifically extracted. After being blocked by the filter screen 306, the fluid forms a downward impact flow with coordinated stirring through the high-pressure nozzles 305 in the annular pipe 304, thus constructing a three-dimensional circulating stirring system, completely solving the bottom deposition problem, and realizing the circulation of materials throughout the tank.

[0029] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: After the motor 202 inside the protective box 201 on the top of the device is started, the drive shaft 203 drives the three worm gears 204 installed from top to bottom to rotate synchronously. Each worm gear 204 drives the corresponding two worm wheels 205 to rotate through the thread transmission, thereby driving the rotating shaft 206, rotating shaft 208 and rotating shaft 210 with the worm wheels 205 to rotate synchronously. The three rotating shafts are of the same length, each equipped with a spiral agitator 207, spiral agitator 209, and spiral agitator 211 with different pitches. The spiral agitator 207 on the bottom rotating shaft 206 has the shortest pitch, which enhances the agitation of the barley at the bottom and prevents sedimentation. The spiral agitator 209 on the middle rotating shaft 208 has a longer pitch, which ensures stable conveying and mixing of materials in the middle section. The spiral agitator 211 on the top rotating shaft 210 has the longest pitch, which promotes the circulation and diffusion of materials in the upper section. Through the variable pitch design, a fluid motion that gradually increases from bottom to top is formed, which not only ensures that the materials at the top are in full contact with the liquid, but also enhances the mixing of materials in the middle and bottom sections, thereby improving the overall soaking effect.

[0030] The anti-settling component 3 and the flow guiding and stirring component 2 start and stop synchronously. The circulating pump 301 installed on the side draws material fluid from the high-incidence area of ​​sedimentation at the bottom center of the device through pipe 1 302. The filter screen 306 on pipe 1 302 can prevent large pieces of material from clogging the system. The fluid is then transported to the annular pipe 304 at the top through pipe 2 303. Finally, it is sprayed out through several high-pressure nozzles 305 on the annular pipe 304. The nozzles are inclined downward along the direction of material stirring to form a downward impact flow, so that the circulating fluid and the stirring action work together. This not only washes away the barley that may be deposited at the bottom, but also transports the fluid at the bottom to the top to participate in the stirring, realizing the circulation of material fluid throughout the tank and forming a three-dimensional circulating stirring system to avoid local sedimentation.

[0031] The variable pitch stirring of the stirring component provides a hybrid longitudinal and transverse stirring for the material, while the circulation system of the anti-deposition component 3 specifically addresses the bottom deposition problem. The two work synchronously to form a closed loop of stirring and circulation, ensuring that the barley is always in uniform contact with the soaking liquid during the soaking process, thereby improving the soaking efficiency and effect.

[0032] This utility model encompasses any substitutions, modifications, equivalent methods, and solutions made within the spirit and scope of this utility model. To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art will fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this utility model, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits are not described in detail.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
