Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of deep processing of wheat, in particular to a full-automatic discharging centrifugal machine for separating wheat starch.

Background

Starch is mainly composed of amylopectin and amylose. The ratio of amylose to amylopectin determines the structure of the starch granules, which in turn affects the quality, function and application area of the starch. The straight/branch ratio of wheat A-, B-type starch is greatly different, and the gelatinization characteristics of the wheat A-, B-type starch are obviously different. The A-type starch granule has high amylose content, and the B-type starch granule has higher gelatinization temperature and lower peak viscosity, relaxation value and retrogradation value. Therefore, the ideal combination can be recombined by adjusting the proportion of starch with different grain sizes in the starch, the wheat starch has wider application value by subdividing the grain size of the wheat starch, and the economic benefit of wheat is improved.

In the traditional starch production, flour is used as a raw material to produce 62% of wheat starch and 13.5% of wheat gluten, the comprehensive utilization rate only reaches 75.5%, and most of the rest 24.5% except a small part of the wheat starch and the wheat gluten are used for raising pigs by farmers and discharged with water, and meanwhile, a great problem is caused to the sewage treatment problem of enterprises. The separation of A-type and B-type starch begins with the appearance of a precise particle size analyzer, and although the separation is in a development stage, the separation is applied to a plurality of fields, for example, A-type starch grains are one of raw materials for producing carbon paper, B-type starch grains can be used as fillers of film, and B-type starch grains can also be used in aerospace materials due to the superfine size of the B-type starch grains, so that the separation has high economic and technological values.

In the prior art, the dehydration separation of the wheat A, B starch is usually performed manually, the thickness of a solid-phase material is not easy to distinguish, the separation time is inaccurate, the single separation amount is small, and the process of skimming and liquid supplementing needs to be repeated, so the continuity and the production efficiency of the starch separation operation are low.

To limit the rotation angle of the rotation shaft b62 to a range between the first position and the second position.

In an alternative embodiment, the switch means comprises a proximity switch such that when the second arcuate blade 61 is in the third position, the proximity switch is triggered by the stop lever.

In other embodiments, the switch component may also be a sensor capable of sensing the position state or the rotation angle of the rotating shaft a52, such as an infrared sensor or a light sensor.

Liquid skimming device

Referring to fig. 7, the skimming device 9 is fixed to the casing 3, and the skimming device 9 includes a skimming blade and a driving member, and the skimming blade can be driven by the driving member to rotate relative to the casing 3 to reciprocate between a first position and a second position, and the skimming blade is close to the combination surface of the solid phase material and the liquid phase material detected by the second material level device 6 in the second position.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the mounting seat 911 is provided on the lid 31 of the centrifuge; the rotating shaft c92 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting seat 911; the driving part 91 is arranged on the mounting seat 911 and can drive the rotating shaft c92 to rotate; the sleeve 93 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft c92 and is located inside the centrifugal cylinder 93.

Referring to fig. 9, in which the outer wall of the sleeve 93 is provided with a scraper b94 (the skimmer comprises a sleeve 93 and a scraper b94), the scraper b94 is configured to have a slope inclined and extending upward around the outer wall of the sleeve 93, the bottom end of the slope has a first edge 941, the top end has a second edge 942, the first edge 941 is inclined upward with respect to the horizontal plane, the second edge 942 is inclined downward with respect to the horizontal plane, the side edge of the slope has a third edge 943, and the third edge 943 is configured to be a curve spirally upward. The inclined plane and the horizontal plane form an included angle of 45 degrees and incline upwards.

In an alternative embodiment, the driving member 9 drives the rotating shaft c92 to rotate by a predetermined angle, so that the third edge 943 of the scraper b94 scrapes off the material by a predetermined depth.

In an alternative embodiment, the sleeve 93 and the rotating shaft c92 are elastically connected by a torsion spring 95.

Thus, as shown in fig. 7, when liquid skimming is performed, the rotating shaft c92 is driven by the driving member 91 to rotate counterclockwise, the sleeve 93 rotates counterclockwise, when the scraper b94 rotates to contact with the viscous material on the surface of the solid phase material, the scraper b94 continues to rotate inward until the angle of the surface of the solid phase material is reached, when the scraper b94 contacts with the surface of the solid phase material, because the third edge 943 has a contact surface with the solid phase material, the scraper b94 is prevented from continuously intruding inward, and the torsion spring 95 between the rotating shaft c92 and the sleeve 93 provides elastic connection to rotate relatively, so that the third edge 943 only contacts with the surface of the solid phase material, but does not intrude, and the slope guides and scrapes the viscous material, so that the viscous material is discharged from the opening 201 of the inner edge of the liquid baffle plate 22.

In the radial direction, the first edge 941 is at least partially within the coverage of the liquid guard 22, and the second edge 942 is outside the coverage of the liquid guard 22, so that the inclined surface portion is within the coverage of the liquid guard 22, that is, the portion contacting with the viscous material on the inner layer of the solid-phase material, and aims to scrape the viscous material onto the inclined surface, and the portion extending continuously on the inclined surface plays a role in guiding the material, and at the end of the inclined surface, the portion is outside the coverage of the liquid guard 22, and when the material slips to the end of the inclined surface, the material flies upwards and slides between the centrifuge tube 2 and the housing 3.

Referring to fig. 7, a scraper b94 is arranged on the upper part of sleeve 93 below the baffle 22 of centrifuge bowl 2, and since the material is thrown upwards during the rotation of centrifuge bowl 2, the material thrown upwards is scraped off centrifuge bowl 2 by scraper b 94.

In a preferred example, the third edge 943 has a contact area with the solid phase material, the contact area having an area of 100-120m²。

Further, as shown in fig. 9, the first edge 941 is located at the counterclockwise direction of the second edge 942, and when the sleeve 93 rotates clockwise relative to the rotating shaft c92, the torsion spring 95 provides an elastic force to the sleeve 93, so that when the scraper b94 touches the solid material, the sleeve rotates clockwise and has a tendency to rebound counterclockwise.

Thus, the third edge 943 is under the contact pressure of the solid-phase material when contacting the solid-phase material and is larger than the torsion of the spring, and the third edge 943 is in non-rigid contact with the solid-phase material, so that the third edge 943 can be prevented from being immersed in the solid-phase material, and the solid-phase material layer is prevented from being peeled off.

Preferably, three scrapers b94 are arranged on the sleeve 93 at equal intervals along the axial direction, and three scrapers b94 are all positioned on the upper half part of the centrifugal cylinder, so that the liquid skimming range and the liquid skimming efficiency can be increased through the three scrapers b 94.

In an alternative embodiment, the driving part 91 comprises a cylinder, and the driving end of the cylinder is in transmission connection with the rotating shaft c92 through a connecting rod or a gear.

Discharging scraper

After skimming, solid phase materials are scraped, and as shown in fig. 9-10, the discharging scraper 10 is used for scraping the solid phase materials on the inner wall 21 of the centrifuge cylinder 2 at a third rotation speed of the centrifuge cylinder 2, so that the solid phase materials are discharged from the discharge port 202 and the discharge port 41.

The tripper scraper 10 comprises a scraper a12 and a driving member 11, and a scraper a12 is configured to be driven by the driving member 11 to move to a first position (not contacting with the stationary material) or a second position (close to the inner wall of the centrifuge cylinder), and scrapes off the solid phase material during the movement of the scraper a12 from the first position to the second position.

In a preferred example, the axis of scraper a12 is parallel to the axis of centrifuge bowl 2. The scraper a12 can be driven by the driving member 11 to move axially when in the second position to scrape the material from the inner wall. Thus, the scraping surface can be kept flat.

The bottom of the centrifugal cylinder 2 is provided with a discharge opening 202 which is annular, a discharge pipe is correspondingly arranged below the discharge opening, and the discharge pipe is conical. The scraped material is discharged from the discharge opening 202.

In the process, the discharge port 41 of the feeding pipe 4 extends to the inside of the opening 201 in the radial direction, and the discharge port 41 is located at the bottom of the centrifuge tube 2, so that the feeding is performed from the bottom, and the feeding is performed at a medium speed, the solid phase material and the liquid phase material are not separated, and the material can be uniformly spread on the side wall 21 of the centrifuge tube 2.

High-speed material supplement

Referring to fig. 4-5, when the rotation speed of the centrifuge bowl 2 is increased to a second rotation speed (high speed), the fluid infusion tube 7 continuously infuses fluid into the centrifuge bowl 2 through the fluid outlet 71 when the centrifuge bowl 2 is at the second rotation speed and the second level indicator 6 does not reach a preset value, the centrifuge bowl 2 is at the second rotation speed, the solid phase material and the liquid phase material begin to be layered, the solid phase material gradually thickens, the liquid phase material is discharged from the fluid baffle plate 22 to between the centrifuge bowl 2 and the casing 3, and the fluid infusion into the centrifuge bowl 2 is stopped until the solid phase material increases to a preset thickness (increases to the inner side of the fluid baffle plate 22).
