Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical automation, and more specifically to a novel fully automatic electric rice cooker. Background Art

[0002] At present, the degree of automation of electric rice cookers on the market is low. Usually, the rice needs to be washed manually with clean water, drained, and then added with an appropriate amount of clean water, and then heated and steamed. After the heating and steaming are completed, the lid of the electric rice cooker is opened manually, and the rice is taken out. When the rice is finished and the pot needs to be washed, the inner pot of the electric rice cooker is usually taken out from the outer shell of the electric rice cooker manually, and then clean water is added to soak it. After the rice is softened, the adhesion between the rice and the pot will be greatly reduced. Then, the rice is completely peeled off from the inside of the pot by rubbing the inside of the pot with a rough scouring pad or steel wool.

[0003] It can be seen that the existing automatic rice cooker can only realize the process of automatic heating and steaming, and cannot realize the functions of automatic adding rice, washing rice and later washing, and the degree of automation is low. With the increasingly accelerated pace of urban life and the increasing demand of urban people for the enjoyment of their spare time, the expectation of urban people to steam and cook rice and wash pots by themselves is getting lower and lower, so the development of fully automatic rice cookers is the general trend.

The lower part of the spring is fixed on the pot cover 32, the spring is located outside the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom, and the upper part of the spring is limited below the top of the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom. By applying downward pressure to the upper part of the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom, the hollow position is made to exceed the lower surface of the pot cover 32, so that rice falls into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the hollow bottom part of the cylindrical funnel. By removing the downward pressure applied to the upper part of the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom, the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom rebounds upward under the action of the spring and returns to the inner limit of the pot cover 32, and the rice cannot fall into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the hollow bottom part of the cylindrical funnel.

[0014] Furthermore, a diversion and cleaning mechanism 321 is provided on the pot cover 32 , and the diversion and cleaning mechanism 321 is beneficial to discharge the water vapor containing starch generated during the rice cooking process from the inner pot of the rice cooker, and can quickly divert the liquid on the surface of the pot cover 32 .

[0015] Furthermore, the outer surface of the lifting shaft 34 is sleeved with a nylon sleeve 342, and a circle of fixed base 341 is set at the bottom of the nylon sleeve 342, and the fixed base 341 is located above the upper surface of the second work table 26; screws are driven into the small holes of the hole push head 351 of the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352, so that the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352 are fixed together, and the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352 are both located below the lower surface of the second work table 26, and the fixing clamp 352 is provided with There are two symmetrical guide grooves, and a fixed column passes through each guide groove. The fixed column passes through the second work table 26 and the fixed base 341 from bottom to top in sequence, and a nut is screwed in from the top of the fixed column to lock the fixed column, the second work table 26 and the fixed base 341. In this way, when the second bidirectional cylinder 35 is working, it can drive the fixed clamp 352 to rotate in the two symmetrical guide grooves with the two fixed columns as fulcrums.

[0017] Furthermore, a motor 51 is fixed on the side wall of the rice bin 5, the motor head of the motor 51 is connected to the input end of the reducer 52, and the output end of the reducer 52 is connected to one axial side of the quantitative rice storage box 53.

[0021] Furthermore, the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 may be integrated inside the same pipe.

[0022] The working process of novel fully automatic rice cooker of the present invention is as follows:

[0023] The first step is to adjust the second rotary cylinder 331, the lifting shaft 34 and the second bidirectional cylinder 35 so that the electric rice cooker body 31 is reset to the position just above the through hole 251 of the first work surface 25;

[0024] In the second step, the motor 51 works so that the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 is rotated and docked with the opening at the bottom of the rice bin 5. At this time, the motor 51 stops working, and the rice in the rice bin 5 is transferred to the quantitative rice storage box 53. After a specified amount of rice is stored in the quantitative rice storage box 53, the motor 51 continues to rotate so that the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft of the quantitative rice storage box 53 rotate in the arc opening, so that the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 is staggered with the opening at the bottom of the rice bin 5. At this time, the rice in the rice bin 5 can no longer be transferred to the quantitative rice storage box 53;

[0025] In the third step, the motor 51 continues to work, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft of the quantitative rice storage box 53 continue to rotate in the arc opening. When the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 matches the lower opening of the lower hopper 54, the motor 51 stops working, and the rice in the quantitative rice storage box 53 passes through the lower opening of the lower hopper 54, the through hole of the fixing block 55, the upper opening and the lower opening of the lower rice channel 57 in sequence, and then enters the hollow cylindrical funnel at the bottom;

[0026] Step 4: The cylinder pusher head of the third bidirectional cylinder 56 moves downward, driving the lower rice channel 57 to press the top of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel downward, so that the bottom hollow position of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel exceeds the lower surface of the pot cover 32, so that the rice falls into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the lower hollow part of the cylindrical funnel;

[0027] Step 5: The cylinder push head of the third bidirectional cylinder 56 moves upward to return to the initial state, driving the lower rice channel 57 to move upward, releasing the downward pressure exerted by the lower rice channel 57 on the upper part of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel, and the lower hollow cylindrical funnel rebounds upward under the action of the spring and returns to the internal limit of the pot cover 32, so that the rice cannot fall into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the lower hollow part of the cylindrical funnel;

[0028] Step 6: Repeat steps 1 to 5 above selectively according to the amount of rice to be steamed;

[0029] Step 7: The second bidirectional cylinder 35 operates to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 and the pot cover 32 from the second housing 2 through the opening 21 on the common side wall to a fixed position inside the first housing 1, and then the second bidirectional cylinder 35 stops operating;

[0030] Step 8: The pot cover 32 is automatically opened under the action of the cylinder (the connection between the pot cover 32 and the cylinder of the electric rice cooker body 31 used in this step is prior art and will not be described in detail herein);

[0031] Step 9: The first rotating cylinder 22 works so that the free ends of the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 are both located above the electric rice cooker body 31, and the first rotating cylinder 22 stops working;

[0032] In the tenth step, the cylinder push head of the first two-way cylinder 23 moves downward, thereby driving the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 to move to a position 2 to 3 cm above the bottom surface of the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 31, the first two-way cylinder 23 stops moving, and then the water inlet tap 232 is opened to add a certain amount of tap water into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 1, and then the rice is soaked and washed for a suitable time;

[0033] Step 11: water is pumped out through the water outlet faucet 233, the rice is blocked outside by the porous filter ball 234, and the rice washing water is pumped out of the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 1 through the water outlet faucet 233;

[0034] Step 12: Repeat steps 10 to 11 two to five times to ensure that the rice is clean.

[0035] Step 13: The cylinder push head of the first bidirectional cylinder 23 is reset upward, and the first rotary cylinder 22 is reset, so that the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 are reset, and then the second rotary cylinder 331 is reset, so that the electric rice cooker body 31 is reset and returned to the top of the through hole 251 of the first work surface 25, and then the pot cover 32 is automatically closed;

[0036] Step 14: The cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 moves upward, so that the electric heating plate 41 contacts the bottom of the electric rice cooker body 31, and the electric rice cooker body 31 is heated. After the rice is cooked, the cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 is reset downward. Then, the handle on the cabinet door 28 is pulled outward, so that the inner guide rails 27 on both sides of the side wall of the first work surface 25 move outward along the outer guide rails, so that the first work surface 25 can leave the main body of the second housing 2. Then, when the rice is ready to be served, the pot cover is opened and the rice is served manually.

[0037] Step 15: After the rice is served, the lid is closed and the cabinet door 28 is pushed back to its original position. Then the second two-way air cylinder 35 is operated to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 and the lid 32 from the second housing 2 through the opening 21 on the common side wall to a fixed position inside the first housing 1. Then the second two-way air cylinder 35 is stopped and the lid is opened.

[0038] Step 16: The second rotary cylinder 331 is operated to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 along the clamp handle, and the washing water containing the rice soaked material is directly poured into the bottom of the first housing 1. The high-pressure rotary spray head 11 is turned on, and the nozzle 111 of the high-pressure rotary spray head 11 sprays tap water to rinse the inside and outside of the electric rice cooker body 31. During the rinsing process, the movement of the second rotary cylinder 331 can be coordinated to clean the inside and outside of the electric rice cooker body 31.

[0039] Finally, reset, complete the entire process of adding rice, washing rice, steaming and cleaning, and wait for the next restart. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

By removing the downward pressure applied by the upper part of the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom, the cylindrical funnel with a hollow bottom rebounds upward under the action of the spring and returns to the inner limit of the pot cover 32, and the rice cannot fall into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the hollow bottom part of the cylindrical funnel.

[0061] The pot cover 32 is provided with a diversion and cleaning mechanism 321 , which is beneficial for discharging the water vapor containing starch generated during the rice cooking process from the inner pot of the rice cooker and can quickly divert the liquid on the surface of the pot cover 32 .

[0062] The outer surface of the lifting shaft 34 is sleeved with a nylon sleeve 342, and a circle of fixed base 341 is set at the bottom of the nylon sleeve 342, and the fixed base 341 is located above the upper surface of the second work table 26; screws are driven into the small holes of the hole push head 351 of the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352, so that the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352 are fixed together, and the second two-way cylinder 35 and the fixing clamp 352 are both located below the lower surface of the second work table 26, and the fixing clamp 352 is provided with two Symmetrical guide grooves, each of which passes through a fixed column. The fixed columns pass through the second work surface 26 and the fixed base 341 from bottom to top, and a nut is screwed in from the top of the fixed column to lock the fixed column, the second work surface 26 and the fixed base 341. In this way, when the second bidirectional cylinder 35 is working, it can drive the fixed clamp 352 to rotate in two symmetrical guide grooves with the two fixed columns as fulcrums. The fixed clamp is fixedly connected to the lifting shaft 34, thereby realizing the rotation of the lifting shaft 34.

[0063] The liftable electric rice cooker heating mechanism 4 includes an electric heating plate 41 and a fourth bidirectional cylinder 42. The cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 faces upward, and the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 is fixed below the first work surface 25 through a connecting piece. The free end of the cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric heating plate 41. By controlling the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42, the cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 can drive the electric heating plate 41 to move up and down.

[0064] A motor 51 is fixed on the side wall of the rice bin 5, the motor head of the motor 51 is connected to the input end of the reducer 52, and the output end of the reducer 52 is connected to one axial side of the quantitative rice storage box 53. Under the action of the motor 51, the quantitative rice storage box 53 rotates along the axial direction of the quantitative rice storage box 53.

[0065] The quantitative rice storage box 53 is cylindrical, and the lower hopper 54 is a bucket shape with a large upper opening and a small lower opening. Two arc-shaped openings are provided above the two symmetrical side surfaces of the lower hopper 54. The two ends of the quantitative rice storage box 53 in the axial direction are respectively provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the reducer 52. At the same time, the first rotating shaft is located in one of the arc-shaped openings, and the second rotating shaft is located in the other arc-shaped opening. The two arc-shaped openings provide a fulcrum for the rotation of the quantitative rice storage box 53.

[0066] A quantitative rice storage box is fixed above the fixed block 55. The fixed block 55 is provided with a through hole, which coincides with the lower opening of the lower hopper 54. A third two-way cylinder 56 is fixed on the lower surface of the fixed block 55. The cylinder push head of the third two-way cylinder 56 can be pushed out downward and retracted upward. The cylinder push head of the third two-way cylinder 56 is fixedly connected to the lower rice channel 57, which can drive the lower rice channel 57 to move up and down. When the lower rice channel 57 moves to the uppermost end, the upper opening of the lower rice channel 57 coincides with the through hole of the fixed block 55. When the lower rice channel 57 moves to the uppermost end, the lower opening of the lower rice channel 57 can press the lower hollow cylindrical funnel of the rice feeding mechanism 322 to move to the bottom, so that the hollow position exceeds the lower surface of the pot cover 32.

[0067] The working process of the novel fully automatic rice cooker as described above is as follows:

[0068] The first step is to adjust the second rotary cylinder 331, the lifting shaft 34 and the second bidirectional cylinder 35 so that the electric rice cooker body 31 is reset to the position just above the through hole 251 of the first work surface 25;

[0069] In the second step, the motor 51 works so that the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 is rotated and docked with the opening at the bottom of the rice bin 5. At this time, the motor 51 stops working, and the rice in the rice bin 5 is transferred to the quantitative rice storage box 53. After a specified amount of rice is stored in the quantitative rice storage box 53, the motor 51 continues to rotate so that the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft of the quantitative rice storage box 53 rotate in the arc opening, so that the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 is staggered with the opening at the bottom of the rice bin 5. At this time, the rice in the rice bin 5 can no longer be transferred to the quantitative rice storage box 53;

[0070] In the third step, the motor 51 continues to work, and the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft of the quantitative rice storage box 53 continue to rotate in the arc opening. When the opening of the quantitative rice storage box 53 matches the lower opening of the lower hopper 54, the motor 51 stops working, and the rice in the quantitative rice storage box 53 passes through the lower opening of the lower hopper 54, the through hole of the fixing block 55, the upper opening and the lower opening of the lower rice channel 57 in sequence, and then enters the hollow cylindrical funnel at the bottom;

[0071] Step 4: The cylinder pusher head of the third bidirectional cylinder 56 moves downward, driving the lower rice channel 57 to press the top of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel downward, so that the bottom hollow position of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel exceeds the lower surface of the pot cover 32, so that the rice falls into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the lower hollow part of the cylindrical funnel;

[0072] Step 5: The cylinder push head of the third bidirectional cylinder 56 moves upward to return to the initial state, driving the lower rice channel 57 to move upward, releasing the downward pressure exerted by the lower rice channel 57 on the upper part of the lower hollow cylindrical funnel, and the lower hollow cylindrical funnel rebounds upward under the action of the spring and returns to the internal limit of the pot cover 32, so that the rice cannot fall into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker from the lower hollow part of the cylindrical funnel;

[0073] Step 6: Repeat steps 1 to 5 above selectively according to the amount of rice to be steamed;

[0074] Step 7: The second bidirectional cylinder 35 operates to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 and the pot cover 32 from the second housing 2 through the opening 21 on the common side wall to a fixed position inside the first housing 1, and then the second bidirectional cylinder 35 stops operating;

[0075] Step 8: The pot cover 32 is automatically opened under the action of the cylinder (the connection between the pot cover 32 and the cylinder of the electric rice cooker body 31 used in this step is prior art and will not be described in detail herein);

[0076] Step 9: The first rotating cylinder 22 works so that the free ends of the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 are both located above the electric rice cooker body 31, and the first rotating cylinder 22 stops working;

[0077] In the tenth step, the cylinder push head of the first two-way cylinder 23 moves downward, thereby driving the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 to move to a position 2 to 3 cm above the bottom surface of the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 31, the first two-way cylinder 23 stops moving, and then the water inlet tap 232 is opened to add a certain amount of tap water into the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 1, and then the rice is soaked and washed for a suitable time;

[0078] Step 11: water is pumped out through the water outlet faucet 233, the rice is blocked outside by the porous filter ball 234, and the rice washing water is pumped out of the inner pot of the electric rice cooker body 1 through the water outlet faucet 233;

[0079] Step 12: Repeat steps 10 to 11 two to five times to ensure that the rice is clean.

[0080] Step 13: The cylinder push head of the first bidirectional cylinder 23 is reset upward, and the first rotary cylinder 22 is reset, so that the water inlet tap 232 and the water outlet tap 233 are reset, and then the second rotary cylinder 331 is reset, so that the electric rice cooker body 31 is reset and returned to the top of the through hole 251 of the first work surface 25, and then the pot cover 32 is automatically closed;

[0081] Step 14: The cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 moves upward, so that the electric heating plate 41 contacts the bottom of the electric rice cooker body 31, and the electric rice cooker body 31 is heated. After the rice is cooked, the cylinder push head of the fourth bidirectional cylinder 42 is reset downward. Then, the handle on the cabinet door 28 is pulled outward, so that the inner guide rails 27 on both sides of the side wall of the first work surface 25 move outward along the outer guide rails, so that the first work surface 25 can leave the main body of the second housing 2. Then, when the rice is ready to be served, the pot cover is opened and the rice is served manually.

[0082] Step 15: After the rice is served, the lid is closed and the cabinet door 28 is pushed back to its original position. Then the second two-way air cylinder 35 is operated to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 and the lid 32 from the second housing 2 through the opening 21 on the common side wall to a fixed position inside the first housing 1. Then the second two-way air cylinder 35 is stopped and the lid is opened.

[0083] Step 16: The second rotary cylinder 331 is operated to rotate the electric rice cooker body 31 along the clamp handle, and the washing water containing the rice soaked material is directly poured into the bottom of the first housing 1. The high-pressure rotary spray head 11 is turned on, and the nozzle 111 of the high-pressure rotary spray head 11 sprays tap water to rinse the inside and outside of the electric rice cooker body 31. During the rinsing process, the movement of the second rotary cylinder 331 can be coordinated to clean the inside and outside of the electric rice cooker body 31.

[0084] Finally, reset, complete the entire process of adding rice, washing rice, steaming and cleaning, and wait for the next restart.

[0085] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
