The surface of the soaking barrel 1 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the stirring rod 10 to rotate, and a sliding rod 16 is slidably inserted into the top of the stirring shaft 9, and the top of the sliding rod 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 19. When in use, the rice is poured into the soaking barrel 1 from the top, and water is injected from the top. After the rice is completely submerged, the water injection is stopped. At this time, the rice husk in the rice is lighter and will float on the water surface due to the buoyancy of the water. The driving mechanism is started, and the driving mechanism drives the stirring shaft 9 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring shaft 9 drives the stirring rod 10 to rotate, thereby stirring the rice, and then making it convenient for the rice husk buried inside the rice to float up. The connecting rod 19 is installed on the stirring shaft 9, so the stirring shaft 9 is When rotating, the sliding rod 16 can be driven to rotate, and the sliding rod 16 drives the connecting rod 19 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 19 drives the arc-shaped blade 11 to rotate. The position of the arc-shaped blade 11 is just flush with the water surface. Therefore, when the arc-shaped blade 11 rotates, ripples can be generated on the water surface, and the rice husks floating on the water surface can be pushed to the edge by the ripples, so that the rice husks float into the edge position of the soaking barrel 1, and an annular collecting shell 7 is provided at the edge position. The annular collecting shell 7 can be taken out upwards, the rice husks are poured out and then placed on the fixing frame 12. As the arc-shaped blade 11 continues to rotate, the remaining rice husks will continue to float to the annular The position of the collecting shell 7 can be determined by repeatedly operating the above steps to clean the rice husks on the water surface with the annular collecting shell 7, so that the rice can be husked directly when soaking, further improving the soaking effect of the rice. The fixing frame 12 is used to carry the annular collecting shell 7, so the annular collecting shell 7 can be placed directly on the fixing frame 12, and when the stirring shaft 9 drives the sliding rod 16 to rotate and then drives the connecting rod 19 to rotate, it will drive the fixing frame 12 to rotate synchronously. The fixing frame 12 is located below the water surface, so the rice husks pressed below the water surface by the annular collecting shell 7 can gradually break away from the bottom of the annular collecting shell 7 under the rotation of the fixing frame 12, thereby facilitating the gradual floating of the rice husks.

[0027] Furthermore, the annular collecting shell 7 includes a first annular frame 71, a second annular frame 72 and an annular filter plate 73. The annular filter plate 73 is fixedly installed between the first annular frame 71 and the second annular frame 72. The height of the first annular frame 71 is lower than that of the second annular frame 72, and the first annular frame 71 is higher than the second annular frame 72. Therefore, in specific operation, after the annular collecting shell 7 is placed, the top of the second annular frame 72 is located slightly below the water surface, and the first annular frame 71 is above the water surface, which is convenient for the annular collecting shell 7 to collect the rice husks. By setting the filter plate, when the annular collecting shell 7 is taken out to clean the rice husks, the water can be filtered out by the filter plate, and only the rice husks are left on the surface of the filter plate, which is convenient for dumping and beneficial to actual use.

[0028] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a motor 8, which is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the soaking barrel 1. A transmission shaft is fixedly mounted on the output port of the motor 8, and the transmission shaft is rotatably inserted inside the fixed rod 13. A worm 15 is fixedly mounted on the port of the transmission shaft. A worm gear 14 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the stirring shaft 9 relative to the position inside the fixed rod 13. The worm gear 14 is engaged with the worm 15. When the driving mechanism is in use, the motor 8 is started, and the motor 8 drives the transmission shaft to rotate, and the transmission shaft drives the worm 15 to rotate, and the worm 15 drives the worm gear 14 to rotate, so that the worm gear 14 drives the stirring shaft 9 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 9 drives the stirring rod 10 to rotate, thereby turning the rice inside the soaking barrel 1, thereby improving the soaking effect.

[0029] Furthermore, the internal rotation of the stirring shaft 9 is connected to a screw 18, which rotates downward and penetrates the stirring shaft 9. A handle 17 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the screw 18. The screw 18 and the slide rod 16 are threadedly connected. Water can be added according to the amount of rice during soaking, and the height of the annular collecting shell 7 can be adjusted according to the amount of water. When adjusting, the handle 17 is rotated, and the handle 17 drives the screw 18 to rotate. The screw 18 drives the slide rod 16 to move vertically inside the stirring shaft 9, so that the connecting rod 19 and the fixed frame 12 move synchronously. The annular collecting shell 7 is directly placed on the fixed frame 12, so the movement of the fixed frame 12 can drive the annular collecting shell 7 to move, so that the annular collecting shell 7 can be kept at the water surface through this adjustment.

[0030] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner cavity of the soaking barrel 1 is set to an inverted cone structure, the discharge port 6 is set at the bottom of the soaking barrel 1, the support leg 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the soaking barrel 1, and the drain pipe 4 is fixedly inserted into the side wall of the soaking barrel 1. When the soaking is completed, the soaked water can be discharged from the soaking barrel 1 through the drain pipe 4, and the rice will be intercepted by the filter screen 5, thereby realizing the separation of water and rice.

[0031] Furthermore, the bottom of the discharge port 6 is threadedly connected with a sealing plug 3, and the stirring shaft 9 movably passes through the sealing plug 3. When the sealing plug 3 is opened, the sealing plug 3 slides downward on the stirring shaft 9 to discharge the rice inside.

[0032] In summary, when in use, pour the rice into the soaking bucket 1 from the top of the soaking bucket 1, and then inject water from the top. After the rice is completely submerged, stop injecting water. At this time, the rice husk in the rice is lighter and will float on the water surface due to the buoyancy of the water. Start the driving mechanism, and the driving mechanism drives the stirring shaft 9 to rotate. The rotation of the stirring shaft 9 drives the stirring rod 10 to rotate, thereby stirring the rice, and then making it convenient for the rice husk buried inside the rice to float up. The connecting rod 19 is installed on the stirring shaft 9, so that the stirring shaft 9 can drive the sliding rod 16 to rotate when it rotates, and the sliding rod 16 drives the connecting rod 19 to rotate, so that the connecting rod 19 drives the arc blade 11 to rotate. The position of the arc blade 11 is just flush with the water surface, so when the arc blade 11 rotates, The water surface generates ripples, and the rice husks floating on the water surface can be pushed to the edge by the ripples, so that the rice husks float into the edge position of the soaking barrel 1, and an annular collecting shell 7 is provided at the edge position, and the annular collecting shell 7 can be taken out upwards, the rice husks are poured out, and the annular collecting shell 7 is placed on the fixing frame 12, and the remaining rice husks continue to float to the position of the annular collecting shell 7 as the arc-shaped blades 11 rotate. The above steps can be repeated to clean the rice husks on the water surface by using the annular collecting shell 7, so that the rice can be directly husked when soaking, which further improves the soaking effect of the rice. The fixing frame 12 is used to carry the annular collecting shell 7, so the annular collecting shell 7 can be directly placed on the fixing frame 12, and the stirring shaft 9 drives the sliding rod 16 to rotate. When the connecting rod 19 is driven to rotate, the fixing frame 12 will be driven to rotate synchronously. The fixing frame 12 is located below the water surface. Therefore, the rice husks pressed below the water surface by the annular collecting shell 7 can gradually break away from the bottom of the annular collecting shell 7 under the rotation of the fixing frame 12, thereby facilitating the gradual floating of the rice husks. The first annular frame 71 is higher than the second annular frame 72. Therefore, in specific operation, after the annular collecting shell 7 is placed, the top of the second annular frame 72 is located slightly below the water surface, and the first annular frame 71 is higher than the water surface, which is convenient for the annular collecting shell 7 to collect the rice husks. By setting a filter plate, the annular collecting shell 7 is taken out to clean the rice husks. The water can be filtered out by the filter plate, and only the rice husks are left on the surface of the filter plate, which is convenient for dumping and beneficial to actual use. When the rice is soaked, the rice in the soaking bucket 1 is turned over by the stirring shaft 9, and the rice in the soaking bucket 1 is turned over by the stirring shaft 9. When the rice is soaked, water can be added according to the amount of rice, and the height of the annular collecting shell 7 can be adjusted according to the amount of water. When adjusting, the handle 17 is turned, and the handle 17 drives the screw 18 to rotate, and the screw 18 drives the sliding rod 16 to move vertically inside the stirring shaft 9, so that the connecting rod 19 and the fixed frame 12 move synchronously. The annular collecting shell 7 is directly placed on the fixed frame 12, so the movement of the fixed frame 12 can drive the annular collecting shell 7 to move.This adjustment allows the annular collecting shell 7 to remain at the water surface. When soaking is complete, the soaked water can be discharged from the soaking barrel 1 through the drain pipe 4, and the rice will be trapped by the filter 5, thereby achieving separation of water and rice. The sealing plug 3 is opened and slid downward on the stirring shaft 9 to discharge the rice inside.
