[0023] An embodiment of the present application provides a rice bran steaming machine, which includes a machine platform, a chain conveyor assembly and a cooking assembly. Among them, a feed port and a discharge port are respectively provided at both ends of the machine platform in the length direction. The chain conveyor assembly is arranged on the machine platform and is arranged near the feed port. The chain conveyor assembly includes a pair of conveying rollers arranged opposite to each other and a sieve plate wound around the conveying rollers, the surface of the sieve plate is used to carry rice bran, and the conveying roller can rotate around its own axis to realize the sieve plate to convey the rice bran along the length direction of the machine platform. The sieve plate includes a plurality of hole positions arranged at intervals, and each hole position area is provided with a plurality of sieve holes. The plurality of sieve holes in the hole position area are arranged in a matrix, the sieve holes in two adjacent rows are staggered, and the sieve holes in two adjacent columns are staggered. The cooking assembly is arranged on the machine platform and arranged below the sieve plate. The cooking assembly can generate high-temperature steam for heating the rice bran on the sieve plate.
[0024] Specifically, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present application, the sieve plate 11 is wound around a rotatable conveying roller 12 for use, and the surface of the sieve plate 11 can be used to carry rice bran.
[0025] In this embodiment, the sieve plate 11 includes a plurality of hole areas 1101 arranged at intervals, and each hole area 1101 is provided with a plurality of sieve holes 1102. The plurality of sieve holes 1102 in the hole area 1101 are arranged in a matrix, the sieve holes 1102 in two adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered manner, and the sieve holes 1102 in two adjacent columns are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0026] When the sieve plate 11 of this embodiment is in use, it is wound around the rotatable conveying roller 12 and is driven by the conveying roller 12, so as to convey the rice bran on the surface of the sieve plate 11. At the same time, the bottom of the sieve plate 11 is heated by high-temperature steam, and the staggered sieve holes 1102 can not only enable the sieve plate 11 to stably carry the rice bran to avoid leakage during the conveying process, but also can achieve uniform heating of the rice bran, improve the efficiency and quality of rice bran cooking, and effectively ensure the quality of wine making.
[0027] In this embodiment, the sieve plate 11 is in an unfolded state when not wound around the conveying roller 12, and the outer contour of the sieve plate 11 in the unfolded state is a rectangle. The thickness of the sieve plate 11 is 1.2 mm-1.5 mm, the width of the sieve plate 11 is 1.5 m, and the length is 5 m. In actual use, multiple sieve plates 11 can be selected to be connected end to end and wound around the conveying roller 12, thereby forming a closed-loop chain-type structure.
[0028] The plurality of hole areas 1101 on the sieve plate 11 are arranged in a matrix. In this embodiment, each row of the sieve plate 11 is formed with 7 hole areas 1101, each column is formed with 4 hole areas 1101, and intervals are provided between adjacent hole areas 1101. In other examples of this embodiment, different numbers of hole areas 1101 may be formed in each row and each column of the sieve plate 11 according to actual use requirements.
[0029] On the sieve plate 11 of this embodiment, a plurality of hole positions 1101 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the sieve plate 11 are hole position horizontal rows, and a plurality of hole positions 1101 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the sieve plate 11 are hole position vertical rows. The sieve plate 11 is formed with a plurality of horizontal rows of holes arranged at intervals and a plurality of vertical rows of holes arranged at intervals.
[0030] The spacing between two adjacent vertical rows of holes is greater than the spacing between two adjacent horizontal rows of holes. This arrangement not only enables the sieve plate 11 to ensure stable loading of rice bran and avoid leakage during the transmission process, but also ensures that steam evenly and efficiently passes through the sieve holes 1102 to effectively steam the rice bran at each hole area 1101, ensuring that the rice bran is evenly and efficiently heated.
[0031] In this embodiment, the outer contour of each hole area 1101 is rectangular, and each hole area 1101 is provided with a plurality of sieve holes 1102. The plurality of sieve holes 1102 on each hole area 1101 are arranged in a matrix, and the sieve holes 1102 in two adjacent rows are arranged in a staggered manner, and the sieve holes 1102 in two adjacent columns are arranged in a staggered manner.
[0032] The length direction of the hole area 1101 is consistent with the length direction of the sieve plate 11, and the width direction of the hole area 1101 is consistent with the width direction of the sieve plate 11. The extending direction of each row of sieve holes 1102 in the hole area 1101 is consistent with the length direction of the sieve plate 11, and the extending direction of each column of sieve holes 1102 in the hole area 1101 is consistent with the width direction of the sieve plate 11.
[0033] When the sieve plate 11 is in use, the staggered arrangement of the sieve holes 1102 not only enables the sieve plate 11 to stably carry the rice bran to avoid leakage during the transmission process, but also enables the rice bran to be evenly heated, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of rice bran cooking.
[0034] In this embodiment, the sieve hole 1102 is long and narrow, and the length direction of the sieve hole 1102 is consistent with the length direction of the sieve plate 11 , and the width direction of the sieve hole 1102 is consistent with the width direction of the sieve plate 11 .
[0035] In each hole area 1101, the length of the sieve hole 1102 is 16 mm, the width of the sieve hole 1102 is 1.5 mm, and the spacing between two adjacent sieve holes 1102 is 5 mm. In other examples of this embodiment, according to actual use requirements, the length and width of the sieve hole 1102, and the spacing between two adjacent sieve holes 1102 can also use other parameters, which are not limited too much here.
[0036] In actual use, the sieve plates 11 of this embodiment can be selected to connect multiple sieve plates 11 end to end and wind around the conveying roller 12 to form a closed-loop chain structure to convey the rice bran. During the conveying process of the rice bran, the high-temperature steam can heat the rice bran carried by the sieve plates 11 through the sieve holes 1102, so that the rice bran can be evenly and efficiently heated and steamed.

A plurality of sieve plates 11 can be connected end to end and wound around the conveying roller 12 to form a closed-loop chain structure to convey the rice bran.
[0039] The axis direction of the conveying roller 12 of this embodiment is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the rice bran. The sieve holes 1102 on the sieve plate 11 are long and narrow, and the length direction of the sieve holes 1102 is consistent with the conveying direction of the rice bran. This arrangement avoids leakage during the conveying process; it also allows the sieve plate 11 to conform to the winding curvature of the conveying roller 12, avoiding cracking and damage of the sieve plate 11 at the sieve holes 1102, and ensuring that the chain conveying assembly 10 can stably convey the rice bran.

That is, one end of the sieve plate 11 in the length direction is near the feed port 101, and the other end of the sieve plate 11 in the length direction is near the junction of the hot section 21 and the cold section 22 of the machine 20.
[0043] The rice bran to be processed falls onto the sieve plate 11 from the feed port 101, and the conveying roller 12 rotates around its own axis, so that the sieve plate 11 transmits the rice bran carried on its surface. The rice bran steaming machine 100 of this embodiment may also include a motor 30 and a controller, and the motor 30 is electrically connected to the conveying roller 12 to drive the conveying roller 12 to rotate around its own axis. The controller is electrically connected to the motor 30 to send a control signal to adjust the working parameters of the motor 30, thereby controlling the rotation speed of the conveying roller 12.
[0044] The steaming assembly 40 is disposed in the hot section 21 of the machine 20 and arranged below the sieve plate 11.

The rotation of the rear rollers 51 can be driven by the motor 30. In the present embodiment, the structure of the rear screen plate 52 can be the same as that of the screen plate 11.
[0046] One of the rear rollers 51 in the rear conveying assembly 50 is disposed near the junction of the hot section 21 and the cold section 22 of the machine 20, and the other conveying roller 12 is disposed near the discharge port 102.

At the junction of the hot section 21 and the cold section 22 of the machine 20, the rice bran on the sieve plate 11 is transferred to the rear sieve plate 52, and then the rear sieve plate 52 transports the rice bran to the discharge port 102 of the machine 20.
[0048] The air cooling assembly 60 includes a plurality of fans 61, which are arranged at intervals below the rear screen plate 52.
