Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of parboiled rice processing technology, specifically to a selenium-enriched parboiled rice soaking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of parboiled rice, one step is the soaking process, which allows the rice to absorb water to the required moisture level for the parboiled rice to fully gelatinize. Soaking has a significant impact on the quality of the final product. If the moisture content is too low, the rice grains will not be able to fully gelatinize during cooking, resulting in white centers and affecting the quality of the parboiled rice.

[0003] Traditional soaking devices often involve directly pouring a large amount of rice into the soaking tank. The rice grains in the core area are compressed by other parts of the rice, resulting in a significantly reduced surface area in contact with water and decreased water absorption efficiency. While the surrounding rice absorbs sufficient water, the core rice may not absorb enough, affecting the quality of the parboiled rice. To address this, we have proposed a selenium-enriched parboiled rice soaking device. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (II) To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a selenium-enriched parboiled rice soaking device, including a soaking tank, an auger installed at the discharge end of the soaking tank, and the soaking tank is provided with a layering mechanism for preventing the selenium-enriched parboiled rice from accumulating, a collection mechanism for removing floating impurities, and a heating mechanism for raising the temperature.

[0006] The layering mechanism includes a multi-component layering plate 1 and a layering plate 2 fixed at intervals inside the soaking tank. Layering plate 1 has a notch 1, and layering plate 2 has a notch 2. The notches 1 and 2 are in opposite positions. A support frame is fixed on the soaking tank. A guide column is rotatably mounted on the support frame. A rotating shaft is slidably mounted on the guide column. Multiple sets of sweeping plates are fixed on the rotating shaft. A motor for driving the guide column and a hydraulic rod are mounted on the support frame. The movable end of the hydraulic rod is fixed with a connecting frame that is rotatably mounted to the rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the collection mechanism includes a stand fixed inside the soaking tank, a shell fixed on the stand, a water pump installed at the bottom of the shell, and a filter shell for use with it inside the shell.

[0008] Preferably, the collection mechanism further includes a magnetic ring fixed on the housing and two sets of iron blocks fixed on the filter housing for use with the magnetic ring.

[0009] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a grabbing mechanism for grabbing the filter shell, the grabbing mechanism comprising a first electric push rod mounted on the support frame, the movable end of the first electric push rod being fixed with a grabbing frame, the grabbing frame being mounted with a second electric push rod, the movable end of the second electric push rod being fixed with a moving plate, the moving plate being rotatably mounted with two groups of link rods, the other ends of the two groups of link rods being rotatably mounted with moving rods which are in sliding connection with the grabbing frame, and the outer ends of the two groups of moving rods being fixed with abutting plates.

[0014] (Three) The present application provides a selenium-rich steamed rice soaking device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By adding a soaking barrel and a collecting mechanism, rice is poured into the soaking barrel, and in the process of pouring rice, the layering mechanism is controlled to layer the rice, preventing the accumulation of rice and facilitating the full water absorption of each layer of rice, thereby ensuring the overall water absorption of rice and avoiding uneven water absorption of rice at the center position.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figures 1-8 As shown, a selenium-enriched parboiled rice soaking device includes a soaking tank 1, with an auger 3 installed at the discharge end of the soaking tank 1. The soaking tank 1 is equipped with a stratification mechanism 2 to prevent the selenium-enriched parboiled rice from piling up, a collection mechanism 6 to remove floating impurities, and a heating mechanism 4 for raising the temperature. During the process of pouring rice into the soaking tank 1, the stratification mechanism 2 is controlled to stratify the rice into layers, preventing piling and ensuring that each layer of rice can fully absorb water, thus guaranteeing the overall water absorption of the rice and preventing uneven water absorption in the center. After stratification, clean water is injected into the soaking tank 1, and the heating mechanism 4 is controlled to raise the temperature of the water, increasing the rate of water absorption by the rice. Floating impurities are collected by the collection mechanism 6, facilitating their separation from the clean water.

[0032] The layering mechanism 2 includes a multi-component layering plate 1 2910 and layering plate 2911 fixed at intervals within the soaking tank 1. Layering plate 1 2910 has a notch 1a, and layering plate 2911 has a notch 2b. The notches 1a and 2b are in opposite positions. Specifically, both layering plate 1 2910 and layering plate 2911 have a channel at their center for the rotating shaft 22 to pass through. The sweeping plate 23 is located between adjacent layering plates 1 2910 and layering plate 2911. A support frame 21 is fixed on the soaking tank 1. A guide column 24 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 21. A rotating shaft 22 is slidably mounted on the guide column 24. Multiple sweeping plates 23 are fixed on the rotating shaft 22. A motor 25 for driving the guide column 24 and a hydraulic rod 26 are mounted on the support frame 21. The movable end of the hydraulic rod 26 is fixed with a connecting frame 27 that is rotatably mounted to the rotating shaft 22. In the initial state, the bottom of the sweeping plate 23 does not contact the top of the layered plates (including layered plate 1 2910 and layered plate 2911). After the rice enters the layered plates, the motor 25 is started, which drives the guide column 24 to rotate, and then drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the sweeping plate 23 to rotate. When the thickness of the rice accumulation on the layered plates is higher than the bottom of the sweeping plate 23, the rotating sweeping plate 23 can sweep the excess rice to the gaps (including gap 1 a and gap 2 b). Then the rice can enter the next layered plate. Repeat the above process, and the rice can be laid on the multi-component layered plates 1 2910 and layered plate 2911 to achieve layered laying of rice, prevent the accumulation of rice, and ensure that each layer of rice can fully absorb water, thus ensuring the overall water absorption of the rice and avoiding uneven water absorption of the rice in the center.

[0033] When the rice on the layered plate needs to be discharged, the hydraulic rod 26 is started to drive the connecting frame 27 to move downward, and then drive the rotating shaft 22 to move downward, that is, drive the multiple groups of sweeping plates 23 to move downward until the bottom end of the sweeping plate 23 is close to the top end of the layered plate. At this time, the sweeping plate 23 rotates to scrape the laid rice to the corresponding gap. The auger 3 is started until all the rice falling at the bottom of the soaking barrel 1 is discharged.

[0034] Since there are still some impurities in the rice, the impurities will be blocked by the layered plate during the floating process. These impurities cannot float to the liquid surface of the clean water. At this time, the hydraulic rod 26 is started to drive the connecting frame 27 and the rotating shaft 22 thereon to move upward, and then drive the multiple groups of sweeping plates 23 to move upward until the top end of the sweeping plate 23 is close to the bottom end of the layered plate. With the rotation of the sweeping plate 23, the blocked impurities are scraped to the gap. These impurities will continue to float from the gap until the impurities float to the liquid surface of the clean water, facilitating the smooth discharge of the impurities. The overall structure is simple and effective.

[0035] Specifically, the heating mechanism 4 includes an annular pipe 44 installed at the bottom of the soaking barrel 1. The annular pipe 44 is communicated with multiple groups of nozzles 45. The multiple groups of nozzles 45 extend into the soaking barrel 1, and the annular pipe 44 is communicated with an airflow pipe 41. The airflow pipe 41 is sequentially provided with a heater 42 and a blower 43. When the blower 43 is started, air is heated by the heater 42 and then enters the annular pipe 44 along the airflow pipe 41, and then is sprayed from the nozzles 45 to heat the water in the soaking barrel 1.

[0036] At the same time, the upward flowing air flow disturbs the rice, which is conducive to the full exposure of the impurities in the rice.

[0037] Embodiment 2

[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figures 6-7 , which is basically the same as embodiment 1, and is more optimized in that the collecting mechanism 6 includes a vertical block 61 fixed in the soaking barrel 1. The vertical block 61 is fixed with a shell 62. The shell 62 is provided with a water pump 63 at the bottom, and the shell 62 is provided with a filter shell 64 used in cooperation therewith. The collecting mechanism 6 further includes a magnetic ring 65 fixed on the shell 62 and two groups of iron blocks 66 fixed on the filter shell 64 and used in cooperation with the magnetic ring 65. The arrangement of the magnetic ring 65 and the iron block 66 improves the stability of the filter shell 64 in the shell 62. When the water pump 63 is started, the impurities floating on the liquid surface are sucked into the filter shell 64 for temporary storage, so that the floating impurities can be quickly collected. When the impurities in the filter shell 64 need to be removed, the filter shell 64 is lifted upward, which is convenient for removing the impurities.

[0039] Further, the layering mechanism 2 further comprises a connecting rod 28 fixed on the rotating shaft 22, and a mesh cloth 29 for pushing the floating impurities is fixed on the connecting rod 28. In the rotating process, the mesh cloth 29 can scrape the impurities floating on the liquid surface to the collecting mechanism 6, so as to facilitate the collection of the impurities on the liquid surface.

[0040] Embodiment 3

[0041] Reference Figures 4-5 The embodiment is basically the same as the embodiment 1, and is more optimized in that the support frame 21 is provided with a grabbing mechanism 5 for grabbing the filter shell 64. The grabbing mechanism 5 comprises an electric push rod I 51 installed on the support frame 21, a movable end of the electric push rod I 51 is fixed with a grabbing frame 52, the grabbing frame 52 is installed with an electric push rod II 57, a movable end of the electric push rod II 57 is fixed with a moving plate 53, the moving plate 53 is rotatably installed with two groups of link rods 54, the other ends of the two groups of link rods 54 are rotatably installed with moving rods 55 which are in sliding connection with the grabbing frame 52, the outer ends of the two groups of moving rods 55 are fixed with abutting plates 56, and further, the ends of the abutting plates 56 away from the moving rods 55 are fixed with rubber pads. When the filter shell 64 needs to be taken out, the electric push rod I 51 is started to drive the grabbing frame 52 to move downward until the abutting plates 56 extend into the filter shell 64, the electric push rod II 57 is started to drive the moving plate 53 to move downward, and through the transmission of the two groups of link rods 54, the outer moving rods 55 on both sides are driven to move outward, so that the abutting plates 56 on both sides move outward and abut against the filter shell 64, the electric push rod I 51 is controlled to drive the filter shell 64 to move upward and separate from the shell 62, so that the filter shell 64 does not need to be manually pulled out, and the working strength of the workers is reduced.
