Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of rice hulling machines, and particularly relates to an automatic feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the rice hulling machine and the previous process elevator are started simultaneously. Basically, at the moment when the rice hulling machine starts, the paddy has already entered the chamber of the rice hulling machine. This is likely to damage the rubber rolls and the rice hulling machine. Therefore, when the rice hulling machine starts, it is required that the paddy be delayed for a few seconds before entering the dehulling chamber. Only when the rice hulling machine runs stably, is it the best state to feed the paddy for dehulling. When the rice hulling machine is blocked and stops running, it is also necessary to prevent the paddy from continuing to enter the chamber of the rice hulling machine, which may cause difficulties in subsequent cleaning. In view of the above situation, the traditional rice hulling machine uses a manual gate. When the rice hulling machine starts, a worker is required to specifically open the feeding gate. This can also solve the former problem, but it is basically manual. For the latter problem that the feeding pipe is blocked and the rice hulling machine stops running, since the worker cannot discover it in the first time, such a structure cannot effectively solve the latter blockage problem. There are also automatic feeding structures designed by other rice hulling machine manufacturers in the market. Although they can effectively solve the above two problems, the automatic feeding structure designed by the other party is relatively complex and the cost is relatively high, which indirectly increases the production cost of the rice hulling machine. Summary of the Invention

Then fix the universal joint rod 6 on the double-earring support 1.1 on one side of the door baffle. As Figure 8 shown in the figure, align the through hole at the bearing end of the universal joint rod 6 with the two circular through holes on both sides of the double-earring support 1.1, and then pass the pin shaft 1.3 from left to right through the hole on one side of the double-earring support 1.1, the universal joint rod 6 and the hole on the other side of the double-earring support in sequence. Next, use the DK retaining clips 1.2 on both sides of the double-earring support to respectively hold both sides of the pin shaft 1.3. As Figure 13 shown in the figure, install and fix the cylinder assembly 5, the cylinder rear seat assembly 4 and the double-earring support 1.1 on the upper surface of the upper vertical plate 2.1.

Finally, as Figure 12As shown, pass the external hexagon bolt 13 through the spherical plain bearing 7, thick washer 16, lower vertical plate 2.6, washer 14 and lock nut 15 from right to left in sequence, and screw the lock nut 15 to a certain position to ensure that the door baffle assembly 3 can rotate around the bolt 13.

[0034] The working principle and process of the present invention: This is described in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the rice huller starts, the moving and stationary rollers of the rice huller start to operate, and at the same time, the feeding port 12 starts to feed, and the vibrating discharger 11 starts to vibrate. These three states basically occur at the same moment. At this time, the door baffle assembly 3 in the automatic blanking device is in a locked state, preventing the rice from entering the blanking chute 10 from the vibrating discharger 11. After a few seconds, when the moving and stationary rubber rollers run stably, the cylinder assembly 5 receives the air supply signal, and the front air rod extends. At this time, under the external force of the air rod, one end of the cylinder rear seat assembly 4 drives the cylinder assembly 5 to rotate counterclockwise around the pin shaft. On the other side, under the action of the air rod, the universal joint rod 6 rotates clockwise around the pin shaft, and at the same time, it pushes the double-ear support 1.1 and the door baffle assembly 3 to rotate clockwise around the two bolts 13. At this time, the rice is driven by the vibrating discharger 11 and enters the blanking chute 10 to start the hulling operation. When the rice huller suddenly stops for some reason, at this time, the cylinder assembly 5 receives the signal, the air rod contracts, one end of the cylinder rear seat assembly 4 drives the cylinder assembly to rotate clockwise around the pin shaft, and on the other side, the universal joint rod 6 pulls the double-ear support 1.1 and the door baffle assembly 3 to rotate counterclockwise around the external hexagon bolt 13 to block the feeding port and prevent continuous feeding, thus protecting the rice huller.
