Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food device making tools, in particular to a white seedling rice ball making device. Background Art

[0002] Bai Miao Rice Balls are a folk specialty snack of the Bai Miao, a branch of the Miao ethnic group. They are a snack that is both medicinal and edible and can be used for entertainment, leisure, and nourishment. The outer layer is chewy and smooth with a unique flavor, while the inner layer is made of glutinous rice, which is soft, sticky, and dense. The Bai Miao Rice Balls have a rich taste and can satisfy your cravings while also nourishing and conditioning your body.

[0003] The preparation of Baimiao rice balls involves several steps. First, prepare the medicinal and edible Chinese herbs. Wash the tsaoko (cardamom fruit) and soak it in a solution of ascorbic acid, salt, and sugar for 3-6 hours. Drain, gently stir-fry, and grind to 80-120 mesh. Other herbs, such as perilla, chives, yam, and lotus seeds, are washed, baked at 200-500°C for 2-30 minutes, and ground to the same fineness. Honey is frozen for 5-14 days until it crystallizes, adding a rich texture. Next, prepare the pork, mince it, and marinate it in fermented fragrant sauce and cooking wine. The fragrant sauce, made from fermented soybeans, wheat flour, garlic, apples, and lemons, has a fruity, sweet-sour flavor that removes fishy or greasy ingredients. Glutinous rice is steamed and rolled into a smooth, rounded glutinous rice ball center, also known as the rice cake ball center. Next, flour is mixed with Chinese medicinal herb powder and salt, and water is added to form a dough. The dough is then mixed with ground pork in a fragrant sauce and wrapped around the glutinous rice balls to form raw white rice balls. Finally, the balls are fried, baked, or steamed: frying at a temperature of 100-230°C for 1-4 minutes followed by a low-temperature heat preservation for 2-6 minutes; baking at a temperature of 170-200°C for 3-7 minutes followed by a low-temperature heat preservation for 7-13 minutes; and steaming at a temperature of 145-155°C for 16-17 minutes. This results in white rice balls with a rich aroma and unique taste. Existing filling hoppers in filling machines are unable to process cooked glutinous rice, making automated production of these balls impossible. Therefore, improvements are necessary.

[0027] Bai Miao rice-core balls are a traditional Miao snack with a unique flavor and layered texture. The outer layer of glutinous rice is springy and smooth, while the inner layer is a soft and sticky glutinous rice ball core, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a rich taste. Since the production process involves multiple tedious and delicate steps, such as the processing of medicinal materials, steaming of glutinous rice, and the preparation of minced pork in fragrant sauce, the traditional production method relies on manual rolling of balls, which not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, but also easily causes unstable product quality and is difficult to achieve large-scale production. In order to improve the production efficiency of Bai Miao rice-core balls, the utility model is improved on the basis of the existing ball-filling machine, so as to be able to knead and extrude the cooked glutinous rice into rice cake balls, so that the Bai Miao rice-core balls can be produced automatically.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, a device for making white rice balls with cores includes a cored meatball machine body, which includes a hopper 1, a filling hopper 2, and a cored meatball extruder 3. The hopper 1 and filling hopper 2 are fixedly mounted on the cored meatball machine body. The hopper 1 is used to hold flour, Chinese medicinal herb powder, and salt, which are mixed with water to form a dough, and then mixed with ground pork in a fragrant sauce to form the outer skin of the white rice balls. The filling hopper 2 holds cooked glutinous rice. The cored meatball extruder 3 is provided with a feed pipe 32 and a filling pipe 31, and the hopper 1 is connected to the feed pipe 32 of the cored meatball extruder 3. The device also includes a rice cake extruder 4, which is mounted on the cored meatball machine body and includes an extrusion pipe 41. The extrusion pipe 41 is provided with a feed inlet 411 and a discharge outlet 412. The feed inlet 411 of the extrusion pipe 41 is connected to the hopper 1, and the discharge outlet 412 of the extrusion pipe 41 is connected to the filling pipe 31 of the cored meatball extruder 3. The hopper 1 feeds the dough mixed with minced pork in fragrant sauce into the core-wrapped ball extrusion component 3 through the feed pipe 32. The cooked glutinous rice is placed in the stuffing hopper 2, processed by the rice cake extrusion device 4 and fed into the core-wrapped ball extrusion component 3 from the stuffing pipe 31 of the core-wrapped ball extrusion component 3. The dough mixed with minced pork in fragrant sauce is extruded and formed to wrap the rice cake ball core. Finally, it is cut by the cutting device in the core-wrapped ball extrusion component 3 to realize the automated production of white seedling rice core balls. The design of the core-wrapped ball extrusion component 3 ensures that the outer layer of dough and the rice cake ball core can be accurately wrapped and formed. The outer layer thickness of each rice core ball, the proportion of the filling material, and the size of the rice cake ball core can all be accurately adjusted by the automatic control system to ensure that each rice core ball produced has high consistency and stable quality. This device not only improves production efficiency and reduces manual operation, but also ensures the taste and flavor of the product. It is suitable for large-scale production and can meet market demand. Overall, this automated production device effectively addresses the low efficiency and high quality fluctuations inherent in the traditional manual production process. By leveraging efficient and precise mechanized operations, it ensures that Baimiao rice balls retain their traditional flavor and aroma even during large-scale production. This innovative technology has ushered in a new era of standardization and automation in the production of Baimiao rice balls, significantly improving production efficiency and market competitiveness, while also paving a new path for the preservation and innovation of traditional cuisine.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the rice cake extrusion device 4 processes the glutinous rice to form the rice cake core, ensuring the taste and layering of each rice core ball. The rice cake extrusion device 4 mainly includes an extrusion auger 44, a motor 43, and an extrusion pipe 41. The extrusion auger 44, as a core component, plays a role in pushing and squeezing, and can evenly squeeze the cooked glutinous rice into a rice cake-shaped core, ensuring its compact and elastic structure, and improving the taste layering of the white rice core ball. The extrusion auger 44 is installed in the extrusion pipe 41 and is driven to rotate by the motor 43, forming a continuously rotating extrusion motion. After the glutinous rice enters the extrusion pipe 41 through the feed port 411, the rotation of the extrusion auger 44 gradually pushes the glutinous rice toward the discharge port 412 of the pipe. During this process, the auger not only provides continuous thrust to ensure that the glutinous rice passes evenly through the pipe, but also squeezes out the air in the glutinous rice through its unique spiral shape and rotational motion, making the texture of the rice cake more compact, delicate, and with appropriate elasticity and toughness. The motor 43 is fixedly mounted on the meatball machine body and is connected to the extrusion auger 44 through a coupling. The function of the motor 43 is to provide power to the extrusion auger 44 to ensure that it rotates efficiently and smoothly. The rotation speed of the motor 43 can be adjusted according to production needs to control the working speed of the rice cake extrusion device 4, thereby affecting the output and quality of the rice cake. Through this design, the extrusion process of the rice cake can be stable, continuous and efficient, avoiding the unevenness and instability in traditional manual production. The rice cake extrusion device 4 makes the production process of the white seedling rice balls more efficient and accurate, ensuring the consistency and high quality of the rice balls in taste, mouthfeel and appearance.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the device also includes a pusher auger 9, which works in conjunction with the pusher drive unit 8 within the filling meatball machine body to perform preliminary processing and extrusion of the glutinous rice raw material. The pusher auger 9 is mounted on the pusher drive unit 8 and is concentrically positioned within the filling hopper 2. Its primary function is to preliminarily process the glutinous rice within the hopper 1, pushing the glutinous rice raw material toward the extrusion pipe 41. The pusher auger 9 operates by applying a continuous axial thrust through a rotating spiral structure, evenly pushing and compacting the glutinous rice particles. This ensures that the glutinous rice has a relatively uniform structure and high viscosity before entering the rice cake extruder 4. This initial extrusion process results in a more compact texture of the glutinous rice, effectively removing air and moisture, and providing a better processing foundation for subsequent rice cake extrusion. The pusher drive unit 8 is connected to the pusher auger 9, providing the necessary power. The adjustable function of the pusher drive unit 8 allows the rotational speed of the pusher auger 9 to be adjusted according to production needs, thereby controlling the extrusion intensity and output of the glutinous rice.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, in order to ensure the stable operation of the equipment, the cored meatball machine body includes a mounting plate 5, which serves as a support platform for the entire device. It provides a solid installation foundation for the cored meatball extrusion component 3, the rice cake extrusion component and the motor 43, and also ensures the precise docking between the various components. Through the mounting plate 5, all important components are firmly fixed to ensure that the equipment will not loosen or shift when running at high speed, thereby avoiding errors and instability that may occur during the production process. The cored meatball extrusion component 3 is fixed on the mounting plate 5, and is responsible for accurately extruding the dough and the filling material to ensure that the outer layer of dough evenly wraps the filling to form a consistent rice ball skin. The rice cake extrusion component is fixed to the mounting plate 5 by a plurality of axially evenly arranged mounting bases 42 to provide stable support. The mounting bases 42 are evenly distributed on the extrusion pipe 41 to ensure pressure balance during the extrusion process and avoid deformation or displacement of the equipment.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the design of the extrusion auger 44 of the rice cake extruder 4 is crucial to ensure that the glutinous rice is fully kneaded during the rice cake extrusion process, thereby forming an elastic and tough rice cake. The extrusion auger 44 includes a rotating rod 441, a blade 442, and a kneading hammer 443. The extrusion auger 44 kneads the glutinous rice, effectively converting the cooked glutinous rice into the desired rice cake-shaped core through extrusion and kneading.

[0033] The rotating rod 441 is the core part of the extrusion auger 44. Its main function is to provide power so that the entire extrusion device can rotate continuously and push the glutinous rice raw material forward. The rotation of the rotating rod 441 causes the blade 442 and the kneading hammer 443 to rotate accordingly, thereby fully kneading and processing the glutinous rice during the extrusion process, ensuring that the glutinous rice has a uniform texture and ideal elasticity. The blade 442 is evenly arranged along the axial direction of the rotating rod 441, and its main function is to cut and extrude the glutinous rice raw material entering the extrusion pipe 41. The cutting action of the blade 442 can destroy the surface structure between the glutinous rice particles, thereby improving the uniformity and taste of the rice cake. The kneading hammer 443 includes a hammer rod 4431 and a hammer head 4432. The hammer rod 4431 is connected to the rotating rod 441 by a fixed connection, and the hammer head 4432 is spherical and fixed to the end of the rotating rod 441. The function of the kneading hammer 443 is to repeatedly strike and knead the glutinous rice with its spherical hammer head 4432 during rotation, compacting the rice under the push of the rotating rod 441 and gradually transforming the glutinous rice into rice cakes. This repeated movement of the kneading hammer 443 not only enhances the stickiness of the glutinous rice but also effectively breaks down its granular structure, making it more delicate and elastic.

[0034] As can be readily appreciated, the length of the kneading hammer 443 is shorter than the distance between the rotating rod 441 and the extrusion pipe 41. This design prevents collision or interference between the kneading hammer 443 and the extrusion pipe 41 during the extrusion process, thereby ensuring stable operation of the rice cake extruder 4. The appropriate gap between the kneading hammer 443 and the blade 442 also ensures uniformity of the glutinous rice during each kneading process, preventing over- or under-kneading when achieving the desired rice cake state.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, reinforcing ribs 6 are provided between the support 7 and the mounting plate 5 of the meatball machine body to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the entire device. The mounting plate 5, located above the support 7, is used to mount the meatball extrusion unit 3 and the rice cake extrusion unit 4, which naturally require a higher load. The addition of the reinforcing ribs 6 increases the device's load-bearing capacity and prevents structural damage caused by excessive loads during production.

[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
