Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of vertical rice milling machines, and in particular to the technical field of a screen device for a vertical rice milling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of a vertical rice mill is as follows: Brown rice, processed by a rice huller, is pushed into the bottom of the milling chamber by the feeding device of the vertical rice mill and conveyed between the milling roller assembly and the screen assembly. As the power unit drives the milling roller assembly to rotate, the brown rice moves upward in a spiral shape along the surface of the milling roller assembly (the surface of the milling roller assembly has a spiral channel). Friction occurs between the milling roller assembly and the brown rice, between the screen assembly and the brown rice, and between the brown rice grains, which makes the brown rice white and discharged from the rice outlet pipe. At the same time, the airflow generated by the fan blows from top to bottom into the hollow shaft linked to the power unit (the milling roller assembly is installed on the hollow shaft), flows along the hollow shaft, the milling roller assembly, and the screen assembly, cools the brown rice and blows out the bran. In conjunction with the external bran suction device connected to the bran suction pipe of the vertical rice mill, the bran powder is quickly discharged from the screen holes of the screen assembly and sucked away by the external bran suction device.

[0003] A vertical rice milling machine with application (patent) number CN202510138215.8 is described. The disassembly and cleaning process involves removing the maintenance door, which triggers a linkage component to activate a limiting component, allowing the rotating seat to rotate. The connecting parts between the left and right brackets are then removed. When the right bracket rotates to the position corresponding to the maintenance door, it is disassembled, allowing the assembly of the right bracket and multiple right screens to be removed from the maintenance door. Similarly, when the left bracket rotates to the position corresponding to the maintenance door, it is disassembled, allowing the assembly of the left bracket and multiple left screens to be removed from the maintenance door for cleaning. The connecting parts consist of multiple bolts and nuts positioned between the left and right brackets. During disassembly and cleaning, multiple connecting parts need to be manually disassembled, wasting time and increasing manual labor. Summary of the Invention
