[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a conveying device, which includes a first conveying component 10, a conveying pipeline 20 and a blowing member 30.

[0032] The number of the first conveying components 10 is not limited in the conveying device provided in the present application, and can be one, two or even more. Figure 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a first conveying assembly 10, Figure 2 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of two first conveying components 10.

[0033] Combination Figure 3-5 As shown, the first conveying component 10 includes a bottom trough 11, a conveying member 12 and a discharge pipe 13; the upper end of the bottom trough 11 is open and suitable for installing a material bin (not shown in the figure). The material in the embodiment of the present application mainly refers to rice and other rice grain materials, including millet, black rice, mung bean, etc. The shape and structure of the material bin are not limited in the embodiment of the present application. When multiple first conveying components 10 are used, the types of materials in different material bins are the same or different. If they are the same, they can be used as a supplement to the same type of rice grain materials. If they are different, they can be used as a combination of rice with different flavors.

[0034] The bottom trough 11 has a discharge port 11a at one end along the length direction. The specific structure of the bottom trough 11 is not limited here. Preferably, the bottom surface is a circular arc cross-section groove. In the embodiment of the present application, the bottom trough 11 is horizontally arranged, and the lower end of the bottom trough 11 has a plurality of support members 111 to ensure the stability of the bottom trough 11.

[0035] The conveying member 12 is disposed at the bottom trough for conveying the material in the bottom trough 11 to the discharge port 11 a.

[0036] The feed pipe 13 is connected to one end of the bottom tank 11 close to the discharge port 11 a.

[0037] The conveying pipeline 20 has a blowing end 21 and a discharge end 22, and the conveying pipeline 20 has a feed position 201 between the blowing end 21 and the discharge end 22. The discharge pipe 13 connects the discharge port 11a and the feed position 201, and the feed position 201 is located below the discharge port 11a, that is, it is ensured that the material sent out from the discharge port 11a enters the conveying pipeline 20 through the feed position 201 under the action of gravity.

[0038] Among them, the conveying member 12 includes a stirring screw 121 and a driving motor 122. The stirring screw 121 is arranged on the bottom trough 11 along the length direction of the bottom trough 11, and the driving motor 122 is installed at one end of the bottom trough 11. The stirring screw 121 and the driving motor 122 are driven and connected. The conveying method using the stirring screw 121 can effectively prevent the rice from clumping, and can also continuously convey the rice in the bottom trough 11 to the discharge port 11a.

[0039] Preferably, the discharge pipe 13 includes an upper connecting pipe portion 131, a connecting portion 132 and a lower connecting pipe portion 133, the upper connecting pipe portion 131 is connected to the bottom trough 11, the conveying pipeline 20 is connected to the lower connecting pipe portion 133, the upper connecting pipe portion 131 and the lower connecting pipe portion 133 are arranged in parallel, the connecting portion 132 connects the upper connecting pipe portion 131 and the lower connecting pipe portion 132, and the connecting portion 132 is arranged corresponding to the feed position 201.

[0040] More preferably, the driving motor 122 is connected to one end of the upper connecting pipe portion 131 away from the bottom trough 11, and the stirring screw 121 extends to the upper end of the connecting portion 132, ensuring that all the rice and grain materials inside the upper connecting pipe portion 131 are also transported to the connecting portion, ensuring that the rice and grain do not accumulate in the upper connecting pipe portion 131.

[0041] The blowing member 30 is installed at the blowing end 21, and is used to form a blowing airflow A along the blowing end 21 to the discharge end 22 inside the conveying pipe 20 (the arrow indicates the blowing direction). The blowing airflow A is suitable for blowing the material entering the conveying pipe 20 from the feed position 201 to the discharge end 22. In order to form a powerful and effective blowing airflow, the blowing member 30 is preferably a ducted motor. The ducted motor is commonly used in the field of electric hair dryers and will not be elaborated here.

[0042] It is understandable that in order to prevent the rice and grain materials from accumulating inside the conveying pipe 20, when starting the conveying operation, the duct motor should be turned on first to form a stable blowing airflow A inside the conveying pipe 20, and then the drive motor 122 should be turned on.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, since the bottom trough 11 adopts gravity dropping to replenish materials, and the feed position 201 of the conveying pipe 20 needs to be lower than the bottom trough 11, in order to save space and pipeline length, the installation position of the blowing piece 30 is also lower. In order to realize the operation of cooking or washing rice, the connection position of the discharge end 22 is generally higher than the height of the blowing end 21.

[0044] When the number of the first conveying components 10 is two, the conveying pipe 20 is formed with two feed positions 201 along its length direction, and the feed position 201 and the discharge port 11a of the bottom trough 11 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the discharge port 11a of the bottom trough 11 is connected to the feed position 201 in a one-to-one correspondence through the corresponding discharge pipe 13. The installation of multiple first conveying components 10 is similar to the above and will not be repeated.

[0045] The conveying device provided by the present application realizes adding a sufficient amount of rice into the material bin, and the rice enters the bottom trough under the action of gravity. When the conveying operation needs to be carried out, the blowing part and the conveying part are started, and the conveying part conveys the rice to the discharge port, and enters the conveying pipeline through the discharge pipe and the feed position. The rice in the conveying pipeline is blown to the discharge end under the action of the blowing airflow. The discharge end can be connected to a rice washing device or a rice cooking device such as an electric rice cooker, thereby realizing the effect of automatically conveying the rice. The solution has a simple structure and occupies a small space. It effectively solves the technical problem of manually adding rice every time cooking, further liberates labor, and improves the degree of automation.

[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
