Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of kitchen appliances technology, and more specifically, to the overall structure of an enterprise-grade intelligent unmanned rice steamer. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is made by mixing rice and water in a certain proportion and then heating it in a rice cooker or steamer using direct heat conduction or steam. This causes the rice to absorb water and expand, forming cooked rice. Currently, the main appliances used for cooking rice are rice cookers and steamers. However, existing steaming devices often fail to produce perfectly fluffy rice, resulting in a less desirable texture. For example, rice cooked in a rice cooker tends to have "burnt rice" and "hard grains" near the bottom and on the surface, making it difficult to fully consume the rice and leading to food waste. Even rice cookers with multi-layered composite bottoms still suffer from these defects.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing technologies also include steamers that use steam to heat and cook rice. Devices that use steam to cook rice are widely used in large catering establishments such as restaurants and hotels. Using steam as a heat source allows for heating rice to temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Celsius to produce cooked rice.

[0004] Chinese utility model patent CN208658827U discloses a fully automatic rice steamer, comprising a raw material machine, a processing machine, and a rice dispensing machine arranged and connected in sequence. The raw material machine includes a rice bin, a metering mechanism, and a rice washing mechanism arranged vertically and connected to each other. The processing machine includes a transport and lifting mechanism for transporting the steaming tray to the rice washing mechanism to receive the washed rice and water, and for transferring the steaming tray into the steamer for steaming. The processing machine also includes a steaming tray pusher that pushes the steamed rice tray into the rice dispensing mechanism on the rice dispensing machine. The rice dispensing machine also includes a rice loosening device and a metering device located below the rice dispensing mechanism.

[0005] In other words, since the raw material machine, the food preparation machine, and the food dispensing machine are all separate functions, the operation is relatively complicated and requires the use of a transportation mechanism, which leads to the overall large size of the structure.

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to improve the existing rice cooking devices to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention proposes an enterprise version of an intelligent unmanned rice steamer, which includes a rice box 10 and a washing and processing area 20. The output port of the rice box 10 is located above the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice box 10 is used to store rice. The washing and processing area 20 is used to wash and steam the rice that falls from the rice box 10 and discharge the cooked rice. The washing, steaming and discharging of rice are integrated into one operation, with a high degree of automation and integration.

[0008] An enterprise-grade intelligent unmanned rice steamer is characterized by comprising a rice container 10 and a washing and processing area 20. The output port of the rice container 10 is located above the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice container 10 is used to store rice, and the washing and processing area 20 is used to wash and steam the rice that falls from the rice container 10 and to discharge the cooked rice.

[0009] In some embodiments, the rice container 10 includes a storage section 11 and a conveying section 12. The conveying section 12 includes a first feeding mechanism 13 and a second feeding mechanism 14. Both the first feeding mechanism 13 and the second feeding mechanism 14 include a first motor 15, a sealing plate 16, and a discharge bin 17. The discharge bin 17 is provided between adjacent sealing plates 16. The first motor 15 drives the discharge bin 17 to rotate. The discharge bin 17 is used to store the discharged rice. When the storage is full, the first motor 15 rotates to output the rice. A rice pushing device 18 is provided on the upper part of the conveying section 12 and near the conveying section 12 to distribute the rice evenly. The two first motors 15 are independently controlled to discharge small amounts of rice. The rice can be quantitatively conveyed by the discharge bin 17.

[0010] In some embodiments, the output port of the rice container 10 is provided with a horizontal first baffle 19, and the input port of the washing and processing area 20 is provided with a horizontal second baffle 21. The first baffle 19 and the second baffle 21 are respectively disposed on both sides of the output port of the rice container 10. The first baffle 19 and the second baffle 21 are slidably connected. A push-pull mechanism 40 is provided at the connection between the rice container 10 and the washing and processing area 20. When the push-pull mechanism 40 pulls the rice container 10 back, the output port of the rice container 10 is connected to the input port of the washing and processing area 20 for adding rice. When the rice is added, the push-pull mechanism 40 pushes the rice container 10 out, so that the output port of the rice container 10 and the input port of the washing and processing area 20 are misaligned and not connected. The first baffle 19 is moved to the top of the input port of the washing and processing area 20 to block it, so that the rice container 10 and the washing and processing area 20 form an independent unit, thereby preventing smaller rice grains from leaking into the next process and preventing materials from the next process from entering the rice container 10.

[0011] Furthermore, the inlet of the cleaning and processing area 20 is equipped with a moisture-proof device 50. The moisture-proof device 50 includes a rotatable closed valve and a fourth rotary cylinder. The rotation of the closed valve is controlled by the fourth rotary cylinder, thereby opening or closing the inlet of the cleaning and processing area 20. This prevents smaller rice grains from leaking into the next process while also preventing materials from the next process from entering the rice storage box 10.

[0012] In some embodiments, the main body of the cleaning and processing area 20 is a hollow cavity. The main body of the cleaning and processing area 20 is provided with a rice steaming and washing device 22. The rice steaming and washing device 22 includes a rice steaming trough 23 and a rice dropping plate 24. One side of the rice dropping plate 24 is connected to a fifth cylinder, which drives the rice dropping plate 24 to open or close. The rice dropping plate 24 is inclined from the input port of the cleaning and processing area 20 toward the rice steaming trough 23. The rice dropping plate 24 is used to slide the rice material from the input port of the cleaning and processing area 20 into the rice steaming trough 23, so that the rice material in the rice box 10 automatically falls into each layer of the rice steaming trough 23 of the rice steamer. The degree of automation is high and the operation is simple.

[0013] In some embodiments, the rice steaming trough 23 is equipped with a spiral conveyor 25, and the rice washing and dropping device 22 is equipped with a water adding device 30. When rice or water needs to be added, the rice steaming trough 23 is a semi-enclosed space with an open top. First, the rice is conveyed to the rice steaming trough 23 through the output port of the rice box 10. Then, water is added through the water adding device 30. Finally, the rice is shaken and washed by the reciprocating forward and reverse rotation of the spiral conveyor 25, so that the rice in the rice box 10 automatically falls into each layer of the rice steaming trough 23 of the rice steamer, and water is added and washed through the water adding device 30. The automation level is high and the operation is simple.

[0014] In some embodiments, one end of the rice steaming trough 23 is fixedly and closedly connected to the body of the washing and processing area 20, and the other end is provided with a rice discharge port 26. When rice needs to be washed, the rice discharge port 26 is closed, and the screw conveyor 25 uses reciprocating forward and reverse rotation to shake and wash the rice. When rice needs to be discharged, the rice discharge port 26 is opened, and the screw conveyor 25 uses forward or reverse rotation to discharge the rice.

[0015] In some embodiments, a steam generator 60 is provided at the bottom of the main body of the cleaning and processing area 20. When it is necessary to steam rice, the steam generator 60 is turned on to steam the rice. When it is necessary to discharge the rice, the rice discharge port 26 is opened, and the screw conveyor 25 discharges the rice by rotating forward or backward.

[0016] Furthermore, since steaming rice is a closed space and steam rises, the top of the main body of the cleaning and processing area 20 is provided with an exhaust port, which is connected to an exhaust device 70, and the exhaust device 70 is connected to a wok for effective use.

[0017] In some embodiments, the upper part of the rice steaming and washing device is provided with a cleaning system 80, which includes a first cleaning device 81 and a second cleaning device 82. The first cleaning device 81 and the second cleaning device 82 are respectively located at the upper part of both ends of the length of the rice steaming trough 23. When it is necessary to clean the rice steaming trough 23, the first cleaning device 81 and the second cleaning device 82 are turned on, and the spiral conveyor 25 performs reciprocating motion in both forward and reverse directions. The first cleaning device 81 cleans one side of the spiral conveyor 25 and the inner wall of the rice steaming trough 23, and the second cleaning device 82 cleans the other side of the spiral conveyor 25 and the inner wall of the rice steaming trough 23. The system is highly automated and easy to operate.

[0018] In some embodiments, there is at least one rice washing device 22, and two adjacent rice washing devices 22 are arranged parallel to each other with a vertical gap. When adding rice to the rice steaming trough 23, the rice is added from the bottom rice steaming trough 23 first, and then added to the top one by one. This is the most convenient operation. When it is necessary to discharge rice, the rice is discharged from the bottom rice steaming trough 23 first, and then the rice is discharged from the top one by one to prevent the rice from the previous rice steaming trough 23 from falling to the rice discharge port 26 of the lower rice steaming trough 23.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention proposes an overall structure for an enterprise-grade intelligent unmanned rice steamer, which includes a rice box 10 and a washing and processing area 20. The output port of the rice box 10 is located above the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice box 10 is used to store rice. The washing and processing area 20 is used to wash and steam the rice that falls from the rice box 10 and to discharge the cooked rice. The washing, steaming and discharging of rice are integrated into one operation, with a high degree of automation and integration. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, will further illustrate the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an enterprise version of an intelligent unmanned rice steamer includes a rice container 10 and a washing and processing area 20. The output port of the rice container 10 is located above the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice container 10 is used to store rice, and the washing and processing area 20 is used to wash and steam the rice that falls from the rice container 10 and to discharge the cooked rice.

[0035] like Figure 3-5As shown, the rice container 10 includes a storage section 11 and a conveying section 12. The conveying section 12 includes a first feeding mechanism 13 and a second feeding mechanism 14. Both the first feeding mechanism 13 and the second feeding mechanism 14 include a first motor 15, a sealing plate 16, and a discharge bin 17. The discharge bin 17 is provided between adjacent sealing plates 16. The first motor 15 drives the discharge bin 17 to rotate. The discharge bin 17 is used to store the discharged rice. When it is full, the first motor 15 rotates and outputs the rice. A rice pushing device 18 is provided on the upper part of the conveying section 12 and near the conveying section 12 to distribute the rice evenly. The two first motors 15 are independently controlled, which can discharge small amounts of rice. The rice can be quantitatively conveyed by the setting of the discharge bin 17.

[0036] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rice container 10 has a horizontal first baffle 19 at its output port, and the washing and processing area 20 has a horizontal second baffle 21 at its input port. The first baffle 19 and the second baffle 21 are respectively located on both sides of the output port of the rice container 10 and are slidably connected. A push-pull mechanism 40 is provided at the connection between the rice container 10 and the washing and processing area 20. When the push-pull mechanism 40 pulls the rice container 10 back, the output port of the rice container 10 is connected to the input port of the washing and processing area 20 for adding rice. When the rice addition is finished, the push-pull mechanism 40 pushes the rice container 10 out, causing the output port of the rice container 10 to be misaligned and disconnected from the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The first baffle 19 is moved horizontally to block the inlet of the washing and processing area 20, making the rice box 10 and the washing and processing area 20 independent entities. This prevents smaller rice grains from leaking into the next process and also prevents materials from entering the rice box 10. The inlet of the washing and processing area 20 is equipped with a moisture-proof device 50, which includes a rotatable closing valve and a fourth rotating cylinder. The rotation of the closing valve is controlled by the fourth rotating cylinder, thereby opening or closing the inlet of the washing and processing area 20, preventing smaller rice grains from leaking into the next process and preventing materials from entering the rice box 10.

[0037] like Figure 8-10As shown, the main body of the washing and processing area 20 is a hollow cavity. A rice-washing and dropping device 22 is installed within the main body of the washing and processing area 20. The rice-washing and dropping device 22 includes a rice-steaming trough 23 and a rice-dropping plate 24. One side of the rice-dropping plate 24 is connected to a fifth cylinder, which drives the rice-dropping plate 24 to open or close. The rice-dropping plate 24 is inclined towards the rice-steaming trough 23 from the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice-dropping plate 24 is used to slide the rice from the input port of the washing and processing area 20 into the rice-steaming trough 23, so that the rice from the rice box 10 automatically falls into each layer of the rice-steaming trough 23 of the rice steamer, achieving a high degree of automation. The rice steaming trough 23 is equipped with a spiral conveyor 25, and the rice washing and dropping device 22 is equipped with a water adding device 30. When rice or water needs to be added, the rice steaming trough 23 is an open-top semi-enclosed space. First, the rice is conveyed to the rice steaming trough 23 through the output port of the rice box 10. Then, water is added through the water adding device 30. Finally, the rice is washed by the reciprocating forward and reverse rotation of the spiral conveyor 25, so that the rice in the rice box 10 automatically falls into each layer of the rice steaming trough 23 of the rice steamer, and water is added and washed through the water adding device 30. The automation level is high and the operation is simple.

[0038] The bottom of the main body of the cleaning and processing area 20 is equipped with a steam generator 60. When it is necessary to steam rice, the steam generator 60 is turned on to steam the rice. When it is necessary to discharge the rice, the rice discharge port 26 is opened, and the screw conveyor 25 discharges the rice by rotating forward or backward. Since steaming rice is a closed space, the steam rises. Therefore, the top of the main body of the cleaning and processing area 20 is equipped with an exhaust port. The exhaust port is connected to an exhaust device 70, and the exhaust device 70 is connected to a wok for effective use.

[0039] The rice steaming and washing device is equipped with a cleaning system 80 at its upper part. The cleaning system 80 includes a first cleaning device 81 and a second cleaning device 82. The first cleaning device 81 and the second cleaning device 82 are respectively located at the upper part of both ends of the length of the rice steaming trough 23. When it is necessary to clean the rice steaming trough 23, the first cleaning device 81 and the second cleaning device 82 are turned on, and the spiral conveyor 25 performs reciprocating motion in both forward and reverse directions. The first cleaning device 81 cleans one side of the spiral conveyor 25 and the inner wall of the rice steaming trough 23, and the second cleaning device 82 cleans the other side of the spiral conveyor 25 and the inner wall of the rice steaming trough 23. The device is highly automated and easy to operate.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, one end of the rice steaming trough 23 is fixedly and closedly connected to the body of the washing and processing area 20, and the other end is provided with a rice discharge port 26. When rice needs to be washed, the rice discharge port 26 is closed, and the screw conveyor 25 uses reciprocating forward and reverse rotation to shake and wash the rice. When rice needs to be discharged, the rice discharge port 26 is opened, and the screw conveyor 25 uses forward or reverse rotation to discharge the rice.

[0041] There is at least one rice washing and dropping device 22. Two adjacent rice washing and dropping devices 22 are arranged parallel to each other with a vertical gap. When adding rice to the rice steaming trough 23, the rice is added from the bottom rice steaming trough 23 first, and then added to the top one by one. This is the most convenient operation. When it is necessary to discharge rice, the rice is discharged from the bottom rice steaming trough 23 first, and then the rice is discharged from the top one by one to prevent the rice from the previous rice steaming trough 23 from falling to the rice discharge port 26 of the lower rice steaming trough 23.

[0042] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention proposes an overall structure for an enterprise-grade intelligent unmanned rice steamer, which includes a rice box 10 and a washing and processing area 20. The output port of the rice box 10 is located above the input port of the washing and processing area 20. The rice box 10 is used to store rice. The washing and processing area 20 is used to wash and steam the rice that falls from the rice box 10 and to discharge the cooked rice. The washing, steaming and discharging of rice are integrated into one operation, with a high degree of automation and integration.

[0043] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
