[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0032] This embodiment describes an extrusion device for processing rice products, relating to the field of rice noodle processing technology. By setting the outlet end of the extrusion device as a movable powder outlet plate 200, the powder outlet plate 200 can be locked and removed as needed, and the powder outlet plate 200 can be cleaned and replaced, thereby clearing the powder outlet.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment describes an extrusion device for processing rice products, comprising: an extruder body 100, a powder outlet plate 200, a powder outlet die 300, and a connecting assembly 400. The extruder body 100 applies uniform pressure to the rice slurry, causing the rice slurry to be output relative to the powder outlet plate 200. The powder outlet plate 200 has multiple powder outlet holes 210, each with a specific size. The rice slurry passes through the powder outlet holes 210 and is processed into rice noodle strips. The powder outlet die 300 forms a space for temporarily storing the rice slurry, allowing the rice slurry in the space to be fed evenly relative to the powder outlet plate 200, ensuring uniform rice noodle strips.

[0034] The powder discharge die 300 is detachably connected to the output end of the extruder body 100. The powder discharge die 300 and the extruder body 100 can be disassembled and assembled as needed for maintenance and repair of the powder discharge die 300.

[0035] The connecting assembly 400 includes a plug-in slot 410 and a locking unit 420. The plug-in slot 410 is disposed on the powder dispensing mold 300, and the powder dispensing plate 200 is movably inserted into the plug-in slot 410. The powder dispensing plate 200 can block the opening of the powder dispensing mold 300, so that the rice noodle slurry in the powder dispensing mold 300 can only be output and shaped from the powder dispensing hole 210 of the powder dispensing plate 200, which helps in the production of rice noodles. The locking unit 420 is disposed in the powder dispensing plate 200 and can lock the connection between the powder dispensing plate 200 and the powder dispensing mold 300, preventing the powder dispensing plate 200 from coming out of the powder dispensing mold 300 under external pressure and interrupting the rice noodle production process.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The insertion groove 410 is set perpendicular to the powder dispensing mold 300. The edge of the insertion groove 410 is cut into the inner wall of the powder dispensing mold 300. The powder dispensing mold 300 and the insertion groove 410 form a nested support structure for supporting the powder dispensing plate 200. The nested support structure can provide stronger support force and prevent loosening or displacement caused by extrusion pressure during the production process.

[0037] The nested support structure allows for a tighter connection between the powder dispensing plate 200 and the powder dispensing mold 300, improving structural stability, preventing shaking during use, and ensuring uniform rice noodle forming. Simultaneously, the powder dispensing plate 200 fits snugly against the inner wall of the powder dispensing mold 300, reducing gaps and preventing powder leakage during rice noodle processing, thus improving hygiene standards in production.

[0038] Vertical insertion is more impact-resistant than parallel insertion or surface adhesion. During high-pressure extrusion, rice noodles will not cause the powder discharge plate to deform or misalign, thus improving the durability of the equipment.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking unit 420 includes a pin 421 that is movably inserted into the powder dispensing plate 200 and a pin hole 422. The pin hole 422 is opened on the powder dispensing mold 300 and is connected to the insertion groove 410. The pin 421 can be inserted into the pin hole 422, thereby effectively preventing the powder dispensing plate 200 from loosening or shifting due to vibration or high pressure during the extrusion process.

[0040] The mechanical fixing method of pin 421 and pin hole 422 is more stable than relying solely on the friction of insertion, and can withstand greater impact force, ensuring that the rice flour will not be affected by shaking during extrusion.

[0041] The connection method using pin 421 and pin hole 422 allows for the simple fixing or disassembly of the powder dispensing plate 200 via pin 421. Compared to the traditional screw fixing method, no additional tools are required, making assembly and disassembly much more convenient. This connection method also allows for quick replacement of powder dispensing plates 200 with different hole diameters, enabling the equipment to flexibly adjust rice noodle specifications and improve production efficiency.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, a sliding groove is provided on one side of the powder discharge plate 200, and the pin 421 is slidably engaged in the sliding groove. The pin 421 can slide along the sliding groove in a predetermined trajectory to ensure that the pin 421 can accurately align with the pin hole 422.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the pin 421 relative to the pin hole 422 is a wedge-shaped body. The inclined side of the wedge-shaped body is set relative to the insertion direction of the powder dispensing plate 200. The wedge-shaped body can automatically retract into the slide groove along the inclined side. When the powder dispensing plate 200 is inserted into the insertion groove 410 as a whole, the wedge-shaped body can automatically retract and then be inserted into the pin groove, realizing the quick connection and locking of the powder dispensing plate 200 and the powder dispensing mold 300.

[0044] The straight edge of the wedge is set relative to the extraction direction of the powder dispensing plate 200. The straight edge can cooperate with the slot to prevent the wedge from retracting and further lock the powder dispensing mold 300 and the powder dispensing plate 200.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The locking unit 420 also includes an elastic element 423. One end of the elastic element 423 is connected to the end of the pin 421 away from the wedge, and the other end of the elastic element 423 is connected to the powder outlet plate 200. The elastic element 423 can drive the pin 421 to extend outward relative to the locking unit.

[0046] The elastic element 423 is specifically a spring. The elastic element 423 can drive the pin 421 to always remain in an outwardly extended state. That is, when the pin 421 is inserted into the pin hole 422, the elastic element 423 will automatically apply a return force to keep it fixed. No additional manual operation is required to maintain the locked state of the pin 421, improving the convenience of use.

[0047] Because the elastic element 423 always maintains thrust, the pin 421 can still be stably fixed in the pin hole 422 even under long-term operation or high-frequency vibration, and is not easy to loosen. Without the support of the elastic element 423, the traditional pin 421 may be displaced due to impact, vibration or long-term use, affecting the stability of the equipment. The elastic element 423 can effectively counteract this effect and improve the working stability of the equipment.

[0048] In the specific implementation process, the pin 421 is equipped with a handle, which is fixedly connected to the pin 421. This fixed connection between the handle and the pin 421 can improve the ease of operation, disassembly and assembly efficiency and safety, and further optimize the user experience of the equipment.

[0049] The addition of a handle allows users to manually pull or rotate the pin 421 without additional tools, making operation more intuitive and simple. Users can quickly loosen or lock the pin 421, saving installation and disassembly time and improving the efficiency of the equipment.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 Multiple powder outlet holes 210 are arrayed on the powder outlet plate 200. These holes are evenly distributed in an array on the powder outlet plate 200, allowing multiple holes 210 to operate simultaneously. Compared to single-hole or randomly distributed hole designs, this allows for the extrusion of more rice flour in the same amount of time, improving production efficiency. The array arrangement of the powder outlet holes 210 optimizes raw material distribution and extrusion uniformity, ensuring balanced feeding from each hole 210, reducing raw material accumulation, and increasing production capacity.

[0051] Meanwhile, the array arrangement of the rice noodle outlet holes 210 ensures that the rice noodles are subjected to uniform force on the entire outlet plate 200, avoiding problems such as uneven rice noodle thickness or breakage caused by uneven pressure distribution, and improving product consistency.

[0052] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The powder discharge die 300 is provided with a flange 310 at the end away from the powder discharge plate 200. The flange 310 is connected to the extruder body 100 by bolts. The flange 310 provides a larger contact area, making the connection between the powder discharge die 300 and the extruder body 100 more secure and preventing loosening or falling off.

[0053] Traditional plug-in or snap-fit ​​connections may loosen over long-term use due to vibration, pressure changes, or high-temperature expansion. However, the flange-flanged 310+ bolt fixing method can effectively prevent this and improve equipment stability.

[0054] During the rice noodle extrusion process, the extrusion mold 300 is subjected to high extrusion pressure. If the connection method is not stable enough, the extrusion mold 300 may shift, affecting the rice noodle forming effect.

[0055] The flange flange with 310 bolts can effectively distribute pressure, prevent the mold from loosening or deforming due to high pressure, and ensure stable rice noodle extrusion.

[0056] Workflow: First, the powder dispensing plate 200 is removed from the powder dispensing mold 300, and the powder dispensing holes 210 on the powder dispensing plate 200 are cleaned. Then, the powder dispensing plate 200 is inserted into the insertion slot 410 of the powder dispensing mold 300, and the wedge-shaped body of the pin 421 automatically retracts and springs back into the pin hole 422. Finally, the pin 421 is locked in the pin hole 422.

[0057] The extruder body 100 is started, extruding the rice noodle slurry, so that the rice noodle slurry is squeezed out from the powder outlet 210 to obtain the formed strip rice noodles.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model should be included within the present utility model.
