[0002] Rice can be used to process rice flour products, rice flour. Rice flour can be used as a final product or a raw material for rice products. Before processing rice flour, rice needs to be soaked in water to soften it. In the prior art, a tank container is generally used. Water is filled in the container, and then rice is put in for soaking. However, the soaking efficiency is low in this way. In order to improve the efficiency, it is necessary to turn the rice regularly during the process, which is quite laborious. Therefore, in the prior art, stirring blades can be arranged in the container to make the turning easier. Soaking with hot water can further improve the efficiency. Hot water can be directly added to the container. However, the time for maintaining the temperature of hot water is very short. Therefore, in the prior art, a sandwich layer can be added in the container to introduce a heating medium (high-temperature steam) to directly heat the water. At the same time, the top of the container is sealed, which further improves the efficiency. However, in the actual use process, the heating medium in the sandwich layer is heated from the outside to the inside, and the heating time is still long. Therefore, it is not conducive to further improving the efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0019] The technical solutions in the utility model will be further described below with reference to the drawings and embodiments.

[0020] In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0021] In an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 , 2 shown, this embodiment provides a rice soaking system, which includes a vertically arranged tank body 1, and a feed hopper 2, a water inlet pipe 3 and a discharge pipe 4 that are sequentially connected to the top, upper side wall and bottom of the tank body 1. An installation shaft 5 is also rotatably arranged coaxially in the tank body 1. A driving motor 6 for driving the installation shaft 5 is also connected to the top of the tank body 1. The driving motor 6 is located outside the tank body 1. After the installation shaft 5 rotates and extends outside the tank body 1, it is connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 6. A plurality of groups of stirring blades 7 are also arranged on the installation shaft 5 in a distribution from top to bottom; a inner cylinder 8 is also fixedly connected in the tank body 1. A sandwich layer 9 is formed between the inner cylinder 8 and the tank body 1. An inlet pipe 10 and an outlet pipe 11 that are connected to the sandwich layer 9 are also connected to the tank body 1. The inlet pipe 10 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the outlet pipe 11 is located at the upper end, and are respectively used for introducing and discharging a heating medium (such as high-temperature steam); a ring pipe 12 is also arranged around the installation shaft 5, and at least a pair of connecting pipes 13 are also connected between the ring pipe 12 and the inner cylinder 8.

[0022] In the above embodiments, a connecting pipe 13 and an annular pipe 12 are further arranged in the inner cylinder 8, and the heating medium in the interlayer 9 also enters the connecting pipe 13 and the annular pipe 12, so as to assist in heating internally, thereby further improving the efficiency and solving the problem that the heating medium in the interlayer 9 in the prior art heats from the outside to the inside with still relatively low efficiency; the feed hopper 2 can be arranged at a position close to the outside of the tank body 1, and a material guiding groove 14 is fixedly connected in the tank body 1 below the feed hopper 2. The material guiding groove 14 extends obliquely downward and the lower end has a vertical projection located in the inner cylinder 8. In this way, through the material guiding groove 14, the material (i.e., the rice to be soaked) can directly fall within the range of the inner cylinder 8 and smoothly enter the lower end of the tank body 1. Further, the top surface of the inner cylinder 8 is located below the water inlet pipe 3 and is an annular surface inclined inward, so that it is not easy for materials to accumulate on the annular surface; particularly, the discharge pipe 4 provided in this solution has a relatively large diameter, and a valve 15 is provided thereon, which can smoothly discharge water and materials after being opened; more specifically, each group of stirring blades 7 can be a plurality of blades arranged in a surrounding manner, and corresponding annular pipes 12 and connecting pipes 13 are arranged between the adjacent upper and lower groups of stirring blades 7, or there can be multiple groups. In this way, more annular pipes 12 and connecting pipes 13 assist in achieving a better heating effect, and at the same time, this will not affect the normal operation of the stirring blades 7.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, the lower end of the mounting shaft 5 is also rotatably connected with a rotating sleeve 16, and a plurality of support inclined rods 17 are fixedly connected between the rotating sleeve 16 and the inner bottom surface of the tank body 1. All the support inclined rods 17 are arranged in a surrounding manner above the discharge pipe 4, and these support inclined rods 17 jointly provide fixed support for the rotating sleeve 16, thereby jointly providing a more stable rotational support for the lower end of the mounting shaft 5.

[0024] As Figure 1 、 3 shown, the upper end of the tank body 1 is also fixedly connected with an overflow pipe 18 located above the inner cylinder 8. A material blocking groove 19 is also connected in the tank body 1. The overflow pipe 18 is communicated with the inside of the material blocking groove 19. The overflow pipe 18 can also be arranged at a height lower than that of the water inlet pipe 3 and above the inner cylinder 8. When there is too much water, it can overflow. The reason for setting the material blocking groove 19 is to prevent materials from accidentally entering the overflow pipe 18 directly during the stirring process. More specifically, a plurality of communication holes 20 are provided at the upper end of the material blocking groove 19, and these communication holes 20 can enable water to smoothly enter the material blocking groove 19, and then smoothly enter the overflow pipe 18 and be discharged.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present utility model and not to limit them. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present utility model can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims of the present utility model.
