Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of general mechanical equipment technology, specifically relating to an automatic powder dispensing and pole loading machine and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Rice noodles refer to strip-shaped or filament-shaped rice products made from rice through processes such as soaking, steaming, and pressing, rather than powdered materials made from ground rice as the literal meaning. Rice noodles are soft, chewy, and elastic; they don't become mushy when boiled and don't break easily when stir-fried. They are served with various toppings or in soups, and are smooth, flavorful, and widely loved by consumers.
[0003] The production process of rice noodles involves first selecting raw rice and soaking it, then feeding it into a machine to make rice paste. The rice paste is then pressed, drained, and dried to form rice noodles. The rice noodles are mixed with water and fed into an extrusion molding machine to create rice noodle strips. These strips are then cut, transported, and soaked again to increase their elasticity. After soaking, the rice noodles are straightened, steamed, dried, and packaged. The soaking process is quite complex, requiring manual labor to place each rice noodle individually into water and then pull them up after soaking for a certain period. This not only requires a large amount of labor but also involves multiple transfers during soaking, resulting in low efficiency. Therefore, an automated rice noodle soaking and feeding integrated device has been designed to match the extrusion molding and cutting equipment, enabling automatic rice noodle soaking and feeding, thus improving work efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 3:
[0052] This embodiment further describes the soaking tank 35 based on the existing embodiment 1. One end of the soaking tank 35 is provided with a rectangular cut, and the rectangular cut is connected to the feed end of the transfer frame 12 of the upper rod. The upper part of the transfer frame 12 of the upper rod is provided with a second rotating shaft, and the upper part of the second rotating shaft is provided with a sprocket and a first lifting chain 10 connected to the sprocket.

The liquid outlets of the collection tanks A, B, C and D decrease sequentially from left to right. Since the rice noodles need to be replaced after a period of time during the soaking process, and the water stains will be discharged together when the rice noodles are taken out of the soaking tank, water needs to be added continuously. This method causes water waste. The purpose of setting up the purification box is to guide the remaining water into the purification box, filter it and perform multi-stage sedimentation to purify it, filter the soaking water stains and achieve recycling.

[0058] S3. The rice noodles on the second lifting chain 23 are guided to the second connecting rod 31 of the soaking tank 35 through the lifting frame 3. The propulsion mechanism is started, and the rice noodles soaked in water are pushed forward by the action of the second pneumatic cylinder 29 and the electric push rod 40 in a reciprocating and stepping propulsion.
[0059] S4. The rice noodles in the soaking tank 35 are lifted and transported by the transfer frame 12 on the upper part, and the water stains are blown off by the dehydration and drying chamber 34 to remove water in advance.
[0060] The entire process uses a feeding section to propel the rice noodles, while an lifting section lifts the rice noodles and guides them into the soaking section. During the soaking process, the rice noodles are propelled forward, achieving automated soaking.
