Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a conveying device of an automatic rice steaming and distributing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, the catering industry has also developed rapidly, and people are no longer satisfied with the traditional manual cooking and serving mode, and thus a series of automated kitchen utensils have been developed, especially various kinds of frying devices. However, a complete automated kitchen not only needs to produce various delicious dishes, but also needs to provide customers with corresponding staple food. Among the staple food, rice is particularly important as a daily intake of carbohydrates.

[0003] Although some rice steaming machines have appeared on the market, most of these rice steaming machines only have the function of steaming rice, and the processes of washing rice at the front end and distributing rice afterwards need to be completed manually or through an external rice distributing device. The process is complicated and the cost is relatively high. Therefore, a fully automatic rice steaming and distributing machine is needed, which can realize the functions of steaming and distributing rice at the same time. In this regard, a conveying device that can assist the automatic rice steaming and distributing machine to combine automatic rice steaming and automatic rice distribution is needed. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to solve the problem that the automatic rice steaming and automatic rice distribution processes are separated in the prior art, the process is complicated, and there is a lack of corresponding conveying device when combining the processes of steaming and distributing rice. Therefore, a conveying device of an automatic rice steaming and distributing machine is provided, which has the advantage of assisting the automatic rice steaming and distributing machine to combine automatic rice steaming and automatic rice distribution, and realizing the function of distributing rice at the same time of steaming rice.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present application to solve the above technical problems is a conveying device of an automatic rice steaming and distributing machine, which is located inside a rice steaming mechanism and includes a driving wheel fixed on a support frame, a connecting ball cooperating with the driving wheel, and a steel wire rope passing through the connecting ball. A rotating arm for fixing a rice steaming tray is connected to the connecting ball. The rotating arm on the connecting ball is used to fix the tray of the steamed rice, and the balance of the tray is maintained by gravity. The connecting ball serves as a support for the rotating arm on one hand, and the shape of the connecting ball is consistent with the groove shape of the driving wheel on the other hand. In this way, when the connecting ball is embedded in the groove, it will rotate and move forward together with the driving wheel, thereby driving the rice steaming tray on the rotating arm to move. There is a rice washing and pouring mechanism above the automatic rice steaming and distributing machine, and the machine as a whole has a heating mechanism, thereby realizing the function of automatic rice steaming. A rice distributing device is also installed in the middle of the machine, so that the steamed rice can enter the rice distributing mechanism, thereby realizing the function of distributing rice at the same time of steaming rice.

[0006] The support frame is vertical, and one drive wheel is arranged at the bottom and the middle of the top end of the support frame respectively, the bottom drive wheel is connected with the drive motor through a belt, and the vertical conveying of the device is driven; the drive wheel and the food pouring guide wheel are fixed at the edge of the middle of the support frame, the food pouring guide wheel is located above the food distributing mechanism, and the drive wheel and the food pouring guide wheel cooperate with each other. As preferred, one drive wheel is fixed at the bottom and the middle of the top end respectively, which determines the approximate trajectory of the whole conveying device, and the drive wheel at the bottom is connected with the drive motor, which provides power for the operation of the device, and the food pouring guide wheel is arranged above the food distributing mechanism, when the connecting ball moves to the food pouring guide wheel with the steamed rice tray, the steamed rice tray is inclined due to the blockage, and the rice in the tray enters the food distributing mechanism, so that the steamed rice can enter the food distributing mechanism in time.

[0007] The drive wheel is a flat cylindrical shape, the central curved surface has a linear clamping groove, and a plurality of curved grooves are uniformly distributed on the curved surface of the drive wheel, and the shape of the curved groove is consistent with the outer surface of the connecting ball. As preferred, the flat cylindrical drive wheel occupies a small space in the machine during installation, and the force required during rotation is also small. Small size also means low gravity to a certain extent, which also means small pressure on the shaft and less damage. The linear clamping groove in the central curved surface is used to limit the steel wire rope to ensure that the steel wire rope can always move on the drive wheel. The spacing between the connecting ball fixedly connected with the steel wire rope is the same, and when the connecting ball moves to the drive wheel, it is automatically clamped into the curved groove.

[0008] The shape of the food pouring guide wheel is consistent with that of the drive wheel, and an annular extension section is arranged near the inner side of the support frame. As preferred, the food pouring guide wheel is essentially also capable of moving the connecting ball carrying the steamed rice tray on the food pouring guide wheel, so the shape is consistent with that of the drive wheel. In order to achieve the effect of pouring food, an annular cylindrical extension section is arranged on the side, when the connecting ball does not reach the food pouring guide wheel, the rotating arm is affected by the steamed rice tray and its own gravity, and rotates on the rotating shaft connected with the connecting ball, so that the steamed rice tray always maintains a horizontal state, when the connecting ball reaches the position of the food pouring guide wheel, the outward extension section of the food pouring guide wheel prevents the vertical state of the rotating arm, so that the rotating arm is inclined under the action of the supporting force, and thus the steamed food is drawn into the food distributing mechanism from the steamed rice tray.

[0009] The connecting ball is spliced by two hemispheres, the splicing part is fixed with the steel wire rope, and the two hemispheres are connected by a screw, and the screw also penetrates the steel wire rope. As preferred, the connecting ball spliced by two hemispheres provides great disassembly in the structure of the whole conveying device, and the two hemispheres wrap the steel wire rope, and then the screw is penetrated, so that the connecting ball and the steel wire rope are connected more tightly.

[0010] The connecting ball is further provided with a rotating shaft, and the rotating arm is connected with the connecting ball through the rotating shaft. As preferred, two corresponding connecting balls are connected with two corresponding rotating arms below, and the two rotating arms jointly support one rice steaming tray, so that one pair of connecting balls, one pair of rotating arms and one rice steaming tray form the rice steaming space of one layer.

[0011] The rotating arm is a triangular support without a closed end, and the rotating shaft of the connecting ball is connected with the vertex of the triangular support without a closed end. The vertex corresponding side is provided with a tray fixed by a fixed band. As preferred, when the triangular support without a closed end is fixed with the vertex as the center, the weight of the two sides is not equal, and the gravity center deviates compared with the triangular support with a closed end. After tilting, it is easier to restore to the balance position, so the vertex without a closed end is fixed on the rotating shaft, on the one hand, to realize the rotation of the rotating arm, and on the other hand, the rotating arm is more stable and faster when restoring to the balance position.

[0012] The conveying device is a symmetrical structure, and the same driving wheel, rice pouring guide wheel, connecting ball and steel wire rope structure are arranged on the other side of the conveying device. As preferred, because the conveying device is arranged to carry and transport the steamed rice, a platform is required to carry the rice, so the whole conveying device is a symmetrical structure, and the two corresponding connecting balls and rotating arms directly jointly carry and drive one rice steaming tray to move.

[0020] The specific implementation of the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below through examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment 1, a conveying device for an automatic rice steaming and dispensing machine is provided, which utilizes a vertical support frame 1. The bottom is a rectangular metal base for stabilizing the balance of the entire device, the side is a hollow metal bracket, and the top is provided with a triangular frame. A rotating shaft is fixed to the top of the triangle, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the driving wheel 2. A rotating shaft is also provided at the vertex of one corner of the triangular frame, which is fixed to the driving wheel 2. A crossbar is provided in the middle of the support frame 1. The crossbar is provided with a rotating shaft at the end point below the driving wheel 2, which is connected to the rice pouring guide wheel 7. Below the rice pouring guide wheel 7 is an inclined plate type chute for the tilted steamed rice tray to slide the rice into the rice dispensing mechanism below the chute. A rotating shaft is provided in the center of the bottom crossbar, which is connected to the driving wheel 2. A driving motor is provided on the outside, which drives the driving wheel 2 to rotate via a belt, thereby driving the entire device to operate. At the same time, the driving wheel 2 is provided with a linear card slot 8 and a plurality of curved grooves 9. The shape of the curved groove 9 is consistent with the outer surface of the connecting ball 3. In this way, during operation, the connecting ball is embedded in the curved groove and rotates forward with the driving wheel, thereby driving the rice steaming tray on the rotating arm to move. At the same time, the wire rope 4 will also be embedded in the linear card 8 to ensure the stability of the device operation.

[0022] like Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment 2, the connecting ball 3 is composed of two hemispheres connected by screws, and a steel wire rope 4 is passed through the connection. This allows the connecting ball 3 to be fixed in a predetermined position without slipping out of position and causing machine malfunction. The combination of the two hemispheres also provides great detachability, and the rice dispensing speed of the automatic rice steaming and dispensing machine can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the two connecting balls. The connecting ball 3 is also provided with a rotating shaft 11, which is connected to the rotating arm 5. The rotating arm 5 is subjected to gravity and maintains its own balance by rotating at the fixed point of the rotating shaft.

[0023] like Figure 5In the shown embodiment 3, the connecting balls 3 are just inserted into the curved grooves 9 of the driving wheel 2, and one curved groove 9 is left between two adjacent connecting balls 3. When two connecting balls 3 are inserted into two adjacent curved grooves 9 of the driving wheel 2, the maximum rice discharging speed of the whole automatic rice steaming and distributing machine is reached. For the automatic kitchen with less rice demand, the distance between two connecting balls 3 can be increased to reduce the rice discharging speed of the automatic rice steaming and distributing machine. The connecting ball 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 11, and the rotating arm 5 is connected between the rotating shaft 11 and the connecting ball 3. The rotating arm 5 is a triangular tube structure without sealing, and the unsealed vertex is fixed on the rotating shaft 11. Due to the unequal weight on both sides, the center of gravity deviates compared with the sealed triangle, and it is easier to restore to the balance position after tilting. Therefore, the unsealed vertex is fixed on the rotating shaft, which is to realize the rotation of the rotating arm and make the rotating arm restore to the balance position more quickly and stably. The steam rice tray is fixed and connected by a ring buckle on the side of the unsealed triangular vertex of the rotating arm 5.

[0024] As shown in the embodiment 4, Figure 6 the upper part is a driving wheel 2, and the lower part is a rice pouring guide wheel 7. The rice pouring guide wheel 7 is consistent with the driving wheel 2 in the overall structure, and is provided with linear clamping grooves 8, curved grooves 9 and other structures. However, a ring-shaped columnar extension section 10 is arranged on the side close to the inside of the automatic rice steaming and distributing machine, and is fixed on the main body of the rice pouring guide wheel 7 by screws. In the figure, three curved grooves 9 are left between two adjacent connecting balls 3, which belongs to the state of moderate rice discharging speed. Before the rotating arm 5 approaches the rice pouring guide wheel 7, the state is as shown in the upper part of Figure 6 the rotating arm, which is naturally suspended and keeps horizontal at the bottom. When the rotating arm 5 runs to the rice pouring guide wheel 7, the rotating arm 5 is supported by the ring-shaped columnar extension section 10 and no longer keeps horizontal. The steam rice tray carried by the rotating arm 5 is inclined towards the direction of the rice pouring guide wheel 7.

[0025] In addition to the above embodiments, within the scope disclosed in the claims and the specification of the present application, the technical features or technical data of the present application can be reselected and combined to form new embodiments, which can be realized by the skilled in the art without creative labor. Therefore, these embodiments of the present application which are not described in detail should be regarded as specific embodiments of the present application and within the protection scope of the present application.
