Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to kitchen equipment, in particular to a rice washing mechanism and a rice cooking device. Background Art
[0002] Electric rice cookers and rice cookers are common rice cooking devices and are widely used in kitchens.
[0003] At present, the automatic rice washing of existing rice cooking devices mainly includes two methods: air washing and water injection bubble washing. Among them, air washing uses the large air volume of the fan to blow away the impurities in the rice. However, air washing can only partially take away the rice bran impurities in the rice, and the washing is not clean. Moreover, the rice is not washed with water, and the user feels that it is not clean. Water injection bubble washing, because there is no stirring between the rice and the water, can also only bring the rice bran impurities, and the washing is not clean enough. Moreover, when it is necessary to face the washing of multiple rice varieties, after the rice of different rice varieties is added to the pot through the automatic rice adding function, if it is not stirred, the rice of the same rice variety will be piled up, and the multi-grain rice made cannot achieve uniform mixing between the rice varieties. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new rice washing method to achieve automatic rice washing. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a rice washing mechanism and a rice cooking device for solving the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0005] A rice washing mechanism, comprising:

[0040] The rice washing mechanism 100 claimed in the present application is applied to a rice cooking device 1000 for automatic rice washing. Here, the rice cooking device 1000 specifically refers to an electric rice cooker or a rice cooker.
[0041] like Figure 1As shown, the rice washing mechanism 100 provided in one embodiment of the present application includes a pot body 10, a sewage rod 20 and a rotating drive unit 30. The pot body 10 is formed with a receiving chamber 101 for receiving rice and water, and a driving member 12 is arranged on the outer peripheral wall 11 of the pot body 10; the sewage rod 20 is eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the receiving chamber 101, and at least a part of the sewage rod 20 can be inserted into the rice in the receiving chamber 101, and is used to pump out the sewage generated by the rice in the receiving chamber 101 after washing; the rotating drive unit 30 includes a rotating drive member 31 and a transmission assembly 32, and the transmission assembly 32 is respectively connected to the rotating drive member 31 and the driving member 12, and the rotating drive member 31 can drive the driving member 12 to move through the transmission assembly 32, so as to drive the pot body 10 to rotate relative to the sewage rod 20. Here, a sewage pump 21 is arranged on the drainage path of the sewage rod 20, and the sewage pump 21 is used to control the automatic drainage of the sewage rod 20, and the sewage rod 20 can discharge the sewage into the sewage tank 22 for storage. It should be noted that the above-mentioned rice washing mechanism 100 utilizes the sewage rod 20 to be eccentrically arranged relative to the axis of the accommodating chamber 101, so that when the pot body 10 drives the rice and water to rotate relative to the sewage rod 20, the sewage rod 20 can stir the rice in the accommodating chamber 101 of the pot body 10 and achieve the purpose of automatically cleaning the rice. In this way, the sewage rod 20 of the rice washing mechanism 100 can have a dual function.
[0042] It can be understood that the sewage stick 20 is used to stir the rice and water in the accommodating chamber 101 of the pot body 10, so that the rice in the pot body 10 can be stirred and cleaned, and then the sewage stick 20 is used to discharge the sewage generated after the rice is cleaned. In this way, not only can the rice in the pot body 10 be automatically cleaned and the rice can be cleaned more cleanly, but the rice in the pot body 10 can also be stirred evenly, which can improve the taste of rice steamed from different types of rice after washing in the pot body 10; in this process, the pot body 10 is driven to rotate by the driving member 12 on the outer wall 11, so that the pot body 10 can be driven to rotate on the basis of being placed stably, so that the structure of the pot body 10 can be simplified without affecting the appearance of the pot body 10.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the sewage rod 20 is configured as a telescopic structure, and the insertion depth of the sewage rod 20 in the accommodating chamber 101 can be adjusted, so as to ensure that the sewage rod 20 can be used for stirring and washing rice at different heights in the pot body 10, so that the rice washing mechanism 100 can be used for application scenarios where different rice capacities need to be washed. Here, the sewage rod 20 is specifically a three-stage telescopic structure.

Here, the driving wheel 321 is configured as a gear structure, and the driving wheel 321 and the driven ring 322 are connected by meshing, so that the rotating driving member 31 can realize the driving of the driving member 12 and the pot body 10 under the transmission of the driving wheel 321 and the driven ring 322. It should be noted that the above-mentioned rotating driving member 31 can be specifically configured as a DC motor, an AC motor, etc.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, one of the driven ring 322 and the driving member 12 is set as a rotating clamping column 121, and the other is set as a clamping groove 3221. The rotating clamping column 121 can be plugged and matched with the clamping groove 3221, so that the driven ring 322 can drive the driving member 12 through the plugging and matching between the rotating clamping column 121 and the clamping groove 3221, and drive the pot body 10 to rotate relative to the sewage rod 20. In this way, the transmission matching structure between the driven ring 322 and the driving member 12 can be simplified, and the assembly between the driven ring 322 and the pot body 10 is convenient. Here, the rotating clamping column 121 is set on the pot body 10, and the clamping groove 3221 is set on the driven ring 322. Of course, in other embodiments, the rotating clamping column can also be set on the driven ring 322, and the clamping groove 3221 is set on the pot body 10, and the clamping groove 3221 extends into the pot body 10 along the radial direction of the pot body 10, which will not be elaborated here.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple driving members 12, and the multiple driving members 12 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the pot body 10, so that there are multiple interaction parts between the driven ring 322 and the pot body 10, which can improve the stability of the driven ring 322 driving the pot body 10 to rotate.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the rice washing mechanism 100 further includes a water cleaning rod 40, which is connected to the accommodating chamber 101 and is used to inject water into the pot body 10.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the rice washing mechanism 100 further includes a rice dropping module 50, which is connected to the accommodating chamber 101 and is used to add rice into the pot body 10. In this way, the rice washing mechanism 100 can automatically add rice when working.
[0049] Exemplarily, the rice falling module 50 includes a rice falling bucket 51, a rice feeding tube 52, a filter 53 and a fan 54, wherein the rice falling bucket 51 can be partially inserted into the accommodating chamber 101; the rice feeding tube 52 is at least partially arranged above the rice falling bucket 51 and connected with the rice falling bucket 51, wherein the rice feeding tube 52 can be connected with the rice box 521, so that the rice flowing in the rice feeding tube 52 can fall into the rice falling bucket 51 under the action of gravity; the filter 53 and the fan 54 are both installed on the rice feeding tube 52, wherein the fan 54 is arranged on the side of the filter 53 away from the rice falling bucket 51, and is used to drive the rice to move in the rice feeding tube 52 and fall into the rice falling bucket 51. Here, when the fan 54 is working, it can blow air outwards, so that the negative pressure generated by the rice delivery tube 52 enables the rice delivery tube 52 to suck rice from the rice box 521 and drive the rice to move in the direction of the fan 54. During this process, the filter 53 can block the rice, so that the rice accumulated in front of the filter 53 will fall into the rice drop bucket 51 under the action of gravity, and the automatic addition of rice to the pot body 10 is realized.
[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the present application also provides a rice cooking device 1000, including the rice washing mechanism 100 described above.
[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the rice cooking device 1000 includes a device body 200 and a drawer 300, wherein the drawer 300 is installed on the device body 200 in a pull-out manner; wherein the pot body 10 is arranged on the drawer 300. When the rice cooking device 1000 finishes steaming the rice in the pot body 10 and forms rice, people can pull the drawer 300 to pull the pot body 10 out of the device body 200, so that people can easily extract the rice in the pot body 10 after steaming.
[0052] In summary, when the rice cooking device 1000 of the present application is working, the rice dropping module 50 is used to automatically add rice into the pot body 10, the water rod 40 is used to automatically add water into the pot body 10, and then the sewage rod 20 is driven to insert into the rice in the pot body 10, and the rotary drive unit 30 drives the pot body 10 to rotate, so that the sewage rod 20 can stir and clean the rice in the pot body 10, and then the sewage rod 20 is used to directly discharge the sewage generated after the rice is washed. In this way, not only can the rice in the pot body 10 be automatically cleaned and the rice can be cleaned more cleanly, but also the rice in the pot body 10 can be evenly stirred, so that the taste of the rice obtained by steaming and washing different kinds of rice in the pot body 10 can be improved; in this process, the pot body 10 is driven to rotate by the driving member 12 on the outer wall 11, so that the pot body 10 can be driven to rotate on the basis of being placed stably, so that the structure of the pot body 10 can be simplified without affecting the appearance of the pot body 10.
[0053] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0054] The above-described embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present application, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be pointed out that, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present application, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of patent protection of the present application shall be subject to the attached claims.
