[0024] Reference below Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 An intelligent moisture-proof metering rice bucket according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent moisture-proof metering rice bucket includes a rice storage box 100, a monitoring device, and a control device 300.

[0026] A rice storage box 100 is provided with a dehumidifier 110 and at least one rice storage funnel, the rice storage funnel is provided with a plurality of small holes, the rice storage box 100 includes an upper cover plate 120, the upper cover plate 120 is provided with a dehumidification plug 121, and a contact sensor is provided below the dehumidification plug 121; the arrangement of the holes and the small holes of the dehumidification plug 121 cooperates with the dehumidifier 110 to realize gas convection inside and outside the box, and improve the temperature and humidity of the gas environment in the box; switching between the gas convection cooling and dehumidification mode and the carbon dioxide quality preservation dehumidification mode can be realized by whether to plug in and out the dehumidification plug 121.

[0027] The monitoring device includes a temperature monitoring device, a humidity monitoring device and a temperature and humidity sensing lamp 230. The temperature monitoring device 210 and the humidity monitoring device monitor the temperature and humidity inside and outside the rice storage box 100. The temperature and humidity sensing lamp 230 can flash according to the numerical changes of the temperature and humidity to remind the user and ensure that the rice in the rice storage box 100 is in good condition.

[0028] The control device 300 is electrically connected to the monitoring device, the dehumidifier 110 and the contact sensor. The control device 300 processes the signal transmitted from the monitoring device, and sends a signal to the temperature and humidity sensing lamp 230 according to the result, and controls the flashing of the temperature and humidity sensing lamp 230. The control device 300 is also electrically connected to the contact sensor, senses the insertion and removal of the dehumidification plug 121, and responds to and controls the gas convection of the rice storage box 100.

[0029] Specifically, in a specific embodiment of the present invention, when the temperature monitoring device 210 and the humidity monitoring device monitor the temperature outside the box T1, the temperature inside the box T2, the humidity outside the box S1, and the humidity inside the box S2, when it is monitored that the temperature inside the box T1 is greater than 18 degrees Celsius and the humidity inside the box S1 is greater than 13.5%, the box needs to be dehumidified. When the temperature outside the box T1 is greater than the temperature inside the box T2, the carbon dioxide preservation and dehumidification mode is used, the temperature and humidity sensing light 230 does not flash, and the user does not need to unplug the dehumidification plug 121. The dehumidifier 110 runs in the box, using the carbon dioxide produced by the aerobic respiration of rice to increase the carbon dioxide concentration in the box in a carbon dioxide preservation manner; when the temperature outside the box T1 is lower than the temperature inside the box T2, the gas convection cooling and dehumidification mode is used, and the temperature and humidity sensing light 230 flashes to remind the user to unplug the dehumidification plug 121. After the contact sensor senses that the dehumidification plug 121 is pulled out, the dehumidifier 110 is controlled to run, and cooperate with the small holes on the rice storage funnel to form convection between the inside and outside of the rice storage box 100 to improve the temperature and humidity of the gas environment in the box.

[0030] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an adjustable rice discharging switch 400 and a rice containing box 500 are provided below the rice storage box 100, and the rice containing box 500 is provided below the adjustable rice discharging switch 400. The rice containing box 500 is provided below the adjustable rice discharging switch 400 to receive the rice flowing down from the adjustable rice discharging switch 400, so as to discharge the rice from the rice storage box 100.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the adjustable rice output switch 400 includes a gear transmission mechanism and a reset switch, the gear transmission mechanism includes a plurality of transmission gears, a plurality of racks arranged in a staggered manner, a plurality of positioning pins connected to the plurality of racks, and a plurality of funnel sealing plates matched with the plurality of racks, the funnel sealing plate being arranged below the rice storage hopper, and the reset switch including a pressing plate 411 and a reset torsion spring 412 connected to the transmission gear. After pressing the pressing plate 411, the pressing plate 411 drives the transmission gear to rotate, and the action is transmitted to the first-stage rack through the transmission of the plurality of transmission gears. Since the plurality of racks are staggered, when the positioning pin is not used for connection, the movement of the first-stage rack does not affect the state of the other racks, and only the funnel sealing plate corresponding to the first-stage rack is opened to release a certain amount of rice, and the other racks and other funnel sealing plates are not affected by the action. The user can use the positioning pin to connect the racks in sequence as needed to realize the linkage between the plurality of racks, so that the first-stage rack drives the subsequent racks to move together, and the amount of rice released at this time is the superposition of the amount corresponding to the connected racks. The reset torsion spring 412 is connected to the transmission gear. After the rice is discharged, the transmission gear returns to its original position under the action of the reset torsion spring 412, driving the sealing plate to return to its original position to seal the funnel and wait for the next rice discharge operation.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the rice storage funnel is configured to be a first funnel 421, a second funnel 422 and a third funnel 423 arranged in sequence from small to large, the multiple racks include a first rack 431, a second rack 432 and a third rack 433, the positioning pin includes a first-gear positioning pin 441 and a second-gear positioning pin 442, the funnel sealing plate includes a first sealing plate 451, a second sealing plate 452 and a third sealing plate 453, the first rack 431 is connected to the first funnel 421 through the first sealing plate 451, the second rack 432 is connected to the second funnel 422 through the second sealing plate 452, the third rack 433 is connected to the third funnel 423 through the third sealing plate 453, the first rack 431 and the second rack 432 are provided with a first pin hole for installing the first-gear positioning pin 441, the second rack 432 and the third rack 433 are provided with a second pin hole for installing the second-gear positioning pin 442. The rice storage funnel is connected to the rack through the funnel sealing plate, and the movement of the rack drives the funnel sealing plate to move away from the bottom of the rice storage funnel, so that the rice falls from the rice storage funnel into the rice box 500. The first funnel 421, the second funnel 422 and the third funnel 423 are rice storage funnels arranged in order from small to large, and correspond to the first sealing plate 451, the second sealing plate 452, the third sealing plate 453 and the first rack 431, the second rack 432 and the third rack 433 respectively. The first rack 431, the second rack 432 and the third rack 433 are staggered, and the first rack 431 and the second rack 432 are connected by a first-stage positioning pin 441, and the second rack 432 and the third rack 433 are connected by a second-stage positioning pin 442.

[0033] In actual use, the amount of rice discharged can be controlled by whether the positioning pin is inserted or not. When the first-gear positioning pin 441 and the second-gear positioning pin 442 are both in the pop-up state, the pressing plate 411 is pressed, and the pressing plate 411 drives the transmission gear to rotate, and the action is transmitted to the first rack 431 through multiple transmission gears. Since the first-gear positioning pin 441 is popped out at this time, the first rack 431 and the second rack 432 are independent of each other, and the movement of the first rack 431 does not affect the state of the second rack 432. Only the first rack 431 drives the first sealing plate 451 to move, and the first funnel 421 is opened to discharge rice. At this time, the amount of rice discharged is the rice storage amount V1 of the first funnel 421. After the rice is discharged, the gear returns to its original position under the action of the reset torsion spring 412, driving the sealing plate to seal the funnel and wait for the next rice discharge. When the first-gear positioning pin 441 is inserted and the second-gear positioning pin 442 is popped out, the first rack 431 is connected to the second rack 432, and the second rack 432 and the third rack 433 are independent of each other, and the movement of the second rack 432 does not affect the state of the third rack 433; the pressing plate 411 is pressed, and the movement of the first rack 431 drives the second rack 432 to move, and the first rack 431 and the second rack 432 drive the first sealing plate 451 and the second sealing plate 452 to move, and the first funnel 421 and the second funnel 422 are opened to discharge rice. At this time, the amount of rice discharged is the rice storage amount V1 of the first funnel 421 plus the rice storage amount V2 of the second funnel 422. Similarly, when the first-gear positioning pin 441 and the second-gear positioning pin 442 are inserted, the first rack 431, the second rack 432, and the third rack 433 are connected in sequence, and when the pressing plate 411 is pressed, the sealing plates under the first funnel 421, the second funnel 422, and the third funnel 423 are all opened. At this time, the amount of rice discharged is the rice storage amount V1 of the first funnel 421 plus the rice storage amount V2 of the second funnel 422 plus the rice storage amount V3 of the third funnel 423.
