Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of grain processing technology, and in particular to an automated brown rice processing device. Background Technology

[0002] The purpose of brown rice conditioning is to improve the rice milling effect and enhance the eating quality of rice. Currently, most brown rice conditioning equipment uses a cylindrical conditioning chamber. Brown rice is placed in the conditioning chamber and atomized and humidified. The brown rice is replaced periodically to ensure the efficiency of brown rice conditioning.

[0003] However, the above-mentioned conditioning equipment has some problems: 1. Since the amount of water atomized by the equipment is the same each time, the humidity in the conditioning chamber is high after each atomization. The closed chamber space makes it difficult to quickly restore to a dry environment in a short time, which will cause the humidity in the conditioning chamber to be too high during subsequent conditioning, affecting the conditioning quality of brown rice; 2. After unloading, water droplets will remain at the bottom of the conditioning chamber due to excessive humidity. When brown rice is added later, it will come into contact with the water droplets, causing the brown rice to clump together, or even stick to the bottom of the chamber, which is not conducive to the subsequent discharge of brown rice; Therefore, an automated brown rice processing equipment is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing an automated brown rice processing device.

[0005] An automated brown rice processing device includes a base, a conditioning unit, and a conveying mechanism. A mounting frame is installed at the edge of the base, and a conditioning tank is connected to the upper end of the mounting frame. The conditioning unit is installed inside the conditioning tank for atomizing and humidifying the brown rice and drying the tank. A mounting seat is located in the middle of the base. The conveying mechanism is mounted on the mounting seat and used for transporting the brown rice. Two symmetrically distributed conveying plates are connected to the conveying mechanism. Each conveying plate is connected to a sliding plate, and each conveying plate is equipped with a drying component that dries the sliding plate during unloading to prevent the brown rice from clumping. The conveying mechanism also includes auxiliary components for gas collection and a vibrating screen before brown rice conditioning.

[0006] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the conditioning unit includes an atomizing nozzle and a fan. The atomizing nozzle is installed in the center of the conditioning barrel via a cross-shaped structure. The bottom of the conditioning barrel is open. The fan is installed on the top inner wall of the conditioning barrel. The top of the conditioning barrel has two symmetrical air outlets, and the air outlets are connected to a cover plate by a hinge.

[0007] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the material conveying mechanism includes a servo motor and a rotating plate. The top of the mounting base is connected to an annular rotating platform, which is rotatably connected to the rotating plate via an annular bearing. The servo motor is mounted on a base below the mounting base, and the output shaft of the servo motor passes through the mounting base and is connected to the rotating plate. Both ends of the rotating plate are provided with a pair of slide rails, and the bottom of each material conveying plate is equipped with a pair of sliders that are slidably connected to the pair of slide rails.

[0008] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the drying component includes two cylinders and a U-shaped pressure plate. Each conveyor plate has a conveying trough, and the end of the conveyor plate near the rotating plate has a sliding groove communicating with the conveying trough. The sliding plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove. One end of the sliding plate is semi-circular, and multiple mesh holes are formed at the semi-circular position to create a circular mesh surface. The two cylinders are installed on both sides of the conveyor plate, and the piston ends of the two cylinders are connected to a moving plate. The moving plate is connected to the sliding plate by two connecting plates. The conveyor plate has a processing chamber communicating with the sliding groove, and two sponge strips are provided on the wall of the processing chamber. The strips are placed on the upper and lower sides of the slide plate. The pressure plate is set in the processing chamber and is slidably connected to two connecting plates. The slide plate and the moving plate are connected by a fixed plate. The fixed plate is connected to a push block. The pressure plate has a limit groove. The limit groove is slidably connected to the limit strip through a keyway. The processing chamber is located above the sponge strip and a permanent magnet is embedded in the cavity wall. The top of the limit strip is made of magnetic material. The lower end of the limit strip has a wedge-shaped structure and the inclined surface faces the sponge strip. The bottom of the processing chamber is conical and connected to a drain pipe. Each of the conveying plates has a conical bottom cover. Each bottom cover has an atomizing plate.

[0009] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the auxiliary components include a connecting rod and a gear ring. A fixed plate is connected to the bottom of each conveying plate. Two symmetrically distributed rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating plate. A turntable is coaxially connected to the lower end of each rotating shaft. The eccentric position of the turntable is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod via a pin. The end of the connecting rod away from the turntable is rotatably connected to the fixed plate via a pin. The gear ring is coaxially connected to the rotating table. Gears are coaxially connected to the rotating shafts, and the gear ring meshes with the gears.

[0010] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the rotating plate has two cavities, each cavity is sealed and slidably connected to a piston, and the fixed plate is connected to two piston rods. The ends of the two piston rods away from the fixed plate extend into the cavities and are connected to the pistons. A spring is sleeved on each piston rod between the rotating plate and the fixed plate. An air storage cylinder is installed on the rotating plate, and the air storage cylinder is connected to the two cavities through an air guide pipe. Each cavity has an air inlet at its top.

[0011] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, each of the conveying plates is equipped with a gas delivery box near the gas storage cylinder. The gas delivery box and the conveying plate have multiple gas delivery holes that communicate with the processing chamber. The gas storage cylinder is sealed with two gas delivery pipes that are respectively sealed and communicated with two gas delivery boxes. A baffle is provided on the top wall of each processing chamber between the permanent magnet block and the gas delivery hole.

[0012] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, one-way valves are installed at both the air guide pipe and the air inlet.

[0013] In the aforementioned automated brown rice processing equipment, the toothed ring has two symmetrical notched areas.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are:

[0015] 1. This invention divides the original integrated conditioning equipment into two separate units: atomization humidification and brown rice transport. After atomization humidification, a fan quickly dehumidifies the rice, preventing moisture from the previous atomization from affecting the humidity of the next conditioning cycle and ensuring the conditioning quality of the brown rice. The mesh surface supports the brown rice, preventing it from becoming damp and clumping, and also facilitating contact between the bottom of the brown rice and the atomized water. The two parts work together to improve production efficiency and ensure the conditioning quality of the brown rice.

[0016] 2. After the humidification and conditioning are completed, the present invention uses a cylinder to pull the moving plate to slide, causing the slide plate to be pulled away to one side. During the pulling process, the brown rice on the slide plate mesh will fall from the conveying trough, realizing the rapid unloading of the brown rice on the conveying plate. At the same time, when the slide plate slides through the processing chamber, the water on the upper and lower sides of the slide plate is absorbed and wiped away by the two sponge strips, which serves to dry the slide plate mesh.

[0017] 3. After unloading, the high-pressure gas in the gas storage tank will enter the processing chamber, and the high-speed airflow will blow away the remaining moisture in the mesh, further drying the mesh surface of the slide plate, which is convenient for subsequent brown rice spreading and conditioning.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-10As shown, an automated brown rice processing device includes a base 1, a conditioning unit, and a conveying mechanism. A mounting frame 2 is installed at the edge of the base 1, and a conditioning tank 21 is connected to the upper end of the mounting frame 2. The conditioning unit is installed inside the conditioning tank 21 for atomizing and humidifying the brown rice and drying the tank. A mounting seat 3 is located in the middle of the base 1. The conveying mechanism is installed on the mounting seat 3 and used for transporting the brown rice. Two symmetrically distributed conveying plates 35 are connected to the conveying mechanism. Each conveying plate 35 is connected to a sliding plate 42. Each conveying plate 35 is equipped with a drying component that dries the sliding plate 42 during unloading to prevent the brown rice from clumping. The conveying mechanism also includes auxiliary components for gas collection and vibrating sieving before brown rice conditioning.

[0031] The conditioning unit includes an atomizing nozzle 22 and a fan 23. The atomizing nozzle 22 is installed in the center of the conditioning barrel 21 via a cross. The bottom of the conditioning barrel 21 is open. The fan 23 is installed on the top inner wall of the conditioning barrel 21. The top of the conditioning barrel 21 has two symmetrical air outlets, and the air outlets are connected to a cover plate 24 by a hinge.

[0032] The material conveying mechanism includes a servo motor 34 and a rotating plate 33. The top of the mounting base 3 is connected to an annular rotating platform 31. The rotating platform 31 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 33 through an annular bearing 32. The servo motor 34 is mounted on the base 1 below the mounting base 3. The output shaft of the servo motor 34 passes through the mounting base 3 and is connected to the rotating plate 33. Both ends of the rotating plate 33 are provided with a pair of slide rails 331. The bottom of each material conveying plate 35 is equipped with a pair of sliders 351 that are slidably connected to the pair of slide rails 331.

[0033] The drying assembly includes two cylinders 44 and a U-shaped pressure plate 47. Each conveying plate 35 has a conveying groove 4. A sliding groove 41 is provided at one end of the conveying plate 35 near the rotating plate 33 and communicates with the conveying groove 4. A sliding plate 42 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 41. One end of the sliding plate 42 is semi-circular, and multiple mesh holes 421 are provided at the semi-circular position to form a circular mesh surface. The two cylinders 44 are installed on both sides of the conveying plate 35, and the piston ends of the two cylinders 44 are connected to a moving plate 45. The moving plate 45 is connected to the sliding plate 42 by two connecting plates 451. A processing chamber 43 is provided on the conveying plate 35 and communicates with the sliding groove 41. Two sponge strips 431 are provided on the cavity wall of the processing chamber 43 and placed on the upper and lower sides of the sliding plate 42. The pressure plate 47 is disposed in the processing chamber 43 and is slidably connected to two connecting plates 451. The sliding plate 42 and the moving plate 45 are connected by a fixed plate 46. The fixed plate 46 is connected to a push block 461. The pressure plate 47 has a limiting groove 471. A limiting strip 472 is slidably connected in the limiting groove 471 through a keyway. The processing chamber 43 is located above the sponge strip 431 and has a permanent magnet block 432 embedded in its cavity wall. The top of the limiting strip 472 is made of magnetic material. The lower end of the limiting strip 472 has a wedge-shaped structure and the inclined surface faces the sponge strip 431. The bottom of the processing chamber 43 is conical and connected to a drain pipe 49. Each conveying plate 35 has a conical bottom cover 36 at its bottom, and each bottom cover 36 has an atomizing plate 361.

[0034] The auxiliary components include a connecting rod 373 and a gear ring 374. A fixed plate 37 is connected to the bottom of each conveying plate 35. Two symmetrically distributed rotating shafts 371 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 33. A turntable 372 is coaxially connected to the lower end of each rotating shaft 371. The eccentric position of the turntable 372 is rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 373 via a pin. The end of the connecting rod 373 away from the turntable 372 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 37 via a pin. The gear ring 374 is coaxially connected to the rotating table 31. A gear 375 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 371. The gear ring 374 and the gear 375 mesh with each other. Two symmetrical notched areas are provided on the gear ring 374. When the rotating plate 33 drives the gear 375 into the notched area, the gear disengages and no longer drives the turntable 372 to rotate.

[0035] The rotating plate 33 has two cavities 38, each cavity 38 containing a piston 381 that is slidably connected in a sealed manner. Two piston rods 382 are connected to the fixed plate 37, with one end of each piston rod 382 extending into the cavity 38 and connecting to the piston 381. A spring 385 is fitted onto each piston rod 382 between the rotating plate 33 and the fixed plate 37. An air storage cylinder 39 is mounted on the rotating plate 33, and the air storage cylinder 39 communicates with the two cavities 38. The cavity 38 is connected by a gas guide pipe 383. Each cavity 38 has an air inlet 384 at its top. Both the gas guide pipe 383 and the air inlet 384 are equipped with a one-way valve. The one-way valve at the gas guide pipe 383 only allows gas to flow from the cavity 38 into the air storage cylinder 39, while the one-way valve at the air inlet 384 only allows gas to flow from the outside into the cavity 38. During the rotation of the rotating plate 35, the piston 381 in the cavity 38 slides back and forth under the drive of the crank connecting rod, and the one-way valve continuously fills the air storage cylinder 39 with gas.

[0036] In this embodiment, each of the conveying plates 35 is equipped with a gas delivery box 48 near the gas storage cylinder 39. The gas delivery box 48 and the conveying plate 35 have a total of multiple gas delivery holes 482 and are connected to the processing chamber 43. The gas storage cylinder 39 is sealed with two gas delivery pipes 481 and is sealed to two gas delivery boxes 48 respectively. A baffle 433 is provided on the top cavity wall of each processing chamber 43 between the permanent magnet block 432 and the gas delivery hole 482. A shut-off valve is provided on the gas delivery pipe 481 to control the delivery of gas from the gas storage cylinder 39 to the gas delivery box 48.

[0037] Working Principle: In use, brown rice is poured into the conveying trough 4 and placed on the mesh surface of the slide plate 42. The servo motor 34 drives the rotating plate 33 and the conveying plate 35 to rotate, moving the conveying plate 35 to a position below the conditioning tank 21. During the rotation of the conveying plate 35, the gear 374 meshes with the gear ring 375, driving the turntable 372 to rotate. The connecting rod 373 drives the conveying plate 35 to slide back and forth. The vibration generated by this back-and-forth sliding evenly spreads the brown rice on the mesh surface, simultaneously removing broken rice, rice flour, and other impurities carried in the brown rice. After reaching the position below the conditioning tank 21, gear 375 disengages from gear ring 374. Under the action of spring 385, the conveying plate 35 is placed at its farthest position, so that the conveying trough 351 corresponds to the conditioning tank 21. After closing the bottom cover 36, the atomizing nozzle 22 can be controlled to spray water mist. Some of the water mist accumulates on the tank wall and flows down into the bottom cover 36. The vibration of the atomizing plate 361 generates water mist again to humidify the bottom surface of the brown rice on the mesh, so that the brown rice is humidified evenly. At the same time, due to the presence of the mesh, the water will not accumulate at the bottom of the brown rice, thus avoiding clumping.

[0038] After humidifying for a certain period of time, the conveyor plate 35 is rotated away from the conditioning tank 21 again. At the same time, the fan 23 inside the conditioning tank 21 is turned on to dehumidify the inside of the conditioning tank 21, so as to avoid the moisture left over from the previous atomization affecting the humidity of the next conditioning and to ensure the conditioning quality of the brown rice. The conveyor plate 35, after rotating 180°, stops. The bottom cover 36 is opened and the cylinder 44 is activated to pull the moving plate 45 to slide, so that the slide plate 42 is pulled away to one side. During the pulling process, the brown rice on the mesh surface of the slide plate 42 will fall from the conveyor trough 4, realizing the rapid unloading of the brown rice on the conveyor plate 35. At the same time, when the slide plate 42 slides through the processing chamber 43, the two sponge strips 431 will press against the surface of the slide plate 42. The water on both sides of the lower plate is absorbed and wiped away. At this time, the shut-off valve in the gas supply pipe 481 is opened, and the high-pressure gas in the gas storage cylinder 39 will be sprayed out from multiple gas supply holes 482 through the gas supply pipe 481 and the gas supply box 48. As the slide plate 42 initially slides outward, the friction will push the pressure plate 47 in the processing chamber 43 to abut against the stop block 433, so that a single and vertical channel is formed below the gas supply hole 482. The high-pressure gas entering from the gas supply hole 482 can only pass through the mesh 421 on the slide plate 42, thereby blowing away the residual moisture in the mesh 421 and further drying the mesh surface of the slide plate 42, preventing the subsequent brown rice material from sticking and clumping, and ensuring the quality of brown rice conditioning.

[0039] When the cylinder 44 pulls the slide plate 42 to reset, the push block 461 on the fixed rod 46 will abut against the right side of the limit strip 472. By pushing the limit strip 472, the pressure plate 47 is pushed to slide to the left to squeeze the two sponge strips 431, squeezing out the water adsorbed in the two sponge strips 43, ensuring the long-term water absorption capacity of the sponge strips 431. At this time, the slide plate 42 has left the processing chamber 43 area, and the squeezed water will flow away from the drain pipe 49. When the slide plate 42 returns to its original position, the pressure plate 47 moves to a position exactly below the permanent magnet block 432. The limit strip 472 in the limit groove 471 slides upward due to magnetic attraction and no longer contacts the push block 461. The pressure plate passes over the push block 461 and returns to the initial position by the extension thrust of the pressed sponge strip 431.

[0040] As is known from common technical knowledge, this invention can be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the disclosed embodiments described above are merely illustrative in all respects and are not the only ones. All modifications within the scope of this invention or its equivalents are included in this invention.
