Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of rice measuring and storing devices, and more specifically, to a rice unloading box for a rice milling machine. Background Art
[0002] With technological advancements and the promotion of automated equipment, self-service rice milling machines for individual users are becoming increasingly popular. Compared to conventional supermarket rice vending machines, self-service rice milling machines offer 24-hour unmanned vending services, saving manpower, time, and convenience. Furthermore, these machines hull the stored rice and instantly process it into fresh rice, which is fresher than commercially available rice, providing users with a superior rice purchasing experience.
[0003] However, existing self-service rice milling machines still have the following problems: the hulled fresh rice falls into the rice discharge box below the rice mill. The rice discharge port below the rice discharge box is equipped with a baffle that can be opened or closed to control the rice discharge. However, since the rice falls from a high altitude during discharge, the impact of gravity and the impact of the fall will produce some broken rice, and carry some dust and residual impurities. These impurities can easily enter the gap between the baffle and the rice discharge port, affecting the opening and closing of the baffle and preventing smooth rice discharge. In addition, these impurities will turn into dirt in the gap between the baffle and the rice discharge port, and fall into the rice discharge box, affecting the user's purchasing experience. Utility Model Content

[0022] A rice unloading box for a rice mill provided in an embodiment of the present application will now be described.
[0023] See also Figures 1 to 4 The rice unloading box for a rice milling machine includes a rice unloading box body 1, which is disposed within the rice milling machine. The rice unloading box body 1 is a hollow box with an opening at the top. Specifically, the opening at the top of the rice unloading box body 1 corresponds to the rice feed pipe of the rice milling machine. A rice unloading port 11 is disposed at the bottom of the rice unloading box body 1. Chutes 2 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the rice unloading box body 1. A rice unloading baffle 3 slides within the chute 2. A cleaning brush is provided on at least one side of the rice unloading baffle 3, perpendicular to the chute 2. Specifically, the cleaning brush is used to promptly clean broken rice, dust, and impurities accumulated in the chute 2 after each rice unloading operation, causing them to fall off along the chute 2 to the end. The cleaning brush prevents broken rice and impurities from wearing the rice unloading baffle 3 and the chute 2, thereby extending the service life of the rice unloading box body 1. In this embodiment, the cleaning brush is disposed behind the rice unloading baffle 3. When the rice unloading baffle 3 retracts, it can promptly clean the broken rice and impurities accumulated during the current unloading operation. The rice milling machine is equipped with a first drive mechanism 4, the output end of which is connected to the rice discharge baffle 3. A load cell 5 is mounted on the rice discharge box body 1, the other end of which is secured to the rice milling machine via a sensor bracket 6. The load cell 5 is electrically connected to the control module of the first drive mechanism 4. Specifically, during operation, the user enters the purchase quantity on the rice milling machine's control panel. The rice feed pipe then feeds rice into the top opening of the rice discharge box body 1, gradually increasing the amount of rice in the rice discharge box body 1. When the weight of the rice in the rice discharge box body 1 reaches the user-set quantity, the load cell 5 sends a signal to the control module of the first drive mechanism 4, which in turn controls the first drive mechanism 4 to slide the rice discharge baffle 3, exposing the rice discharge port 11, allowing the rice to be discharged.
[0024] Furthermore, the surfaces between the side walls of the rice unloading box body 1 and the rice unloading port 11 are all inclined surfaces, which facilitates the smooth unloading of rice from the rice unloading box body 1 and prevents the existence of dead corners for unloading rice and the accumulation of broken rice at the corners of the rice unloading box body 1.
[0025] Furthermore, the side walls on both sides of the rice unloading port 11 are respectively provided with connecting sections 7 extending outwards, and the inner sides of the two connecting sections 7 are both provided with chutes 2. In this embodiment, the area of the rice unloading baffle 3 is larger than the cross section of the rice unloading port 11.
[0026] Furthermore, the rice unloading baffle 3 is provided with a baffle opening 8 corresponding to the rice unloading port 11. Specifically, initially, the rice unloading baffle 3 completely blocks the rice unloading port 11. When the weight of rice in the rice unloading box body 1 reaches the amount set by the user, the first driving mechanism 4 pushes the rice unloading baffle 3 to slide, the baffle opening 8 overlaps with the rice unloading port 11, and the rice is unloaded from the overlapping portion of the baffle opening 8 and the rice unloading port 11. In one embodiment, the operation interface is electrically connected to the control module of the first driving mechanism 4, and the user can set the rice unloading speed on the operation interface. The control module of the first driving mechanism 4 receives a signal, and the first driving mechanism 4 pushes the rice unloading baffle 3 to adjust the rice unloading speed by changing the size of the overlapping portion of the baffle opening 8 and the rice unloading port 11, thereby improving the user experience.
[0027] In this embodiment, the cleaning brush is detachably connected to the rice unloading baffle 3, so that the cleaning brush can be replaced in time.
[0028] Furthermore, a second driving mechanism 9 is provided inside the rice milling machine, a rice outlet inclined plate 10 is provided below the rice unloading box body 1, and the output end of the second driving mechanism 9 is connected to the rice outlet inclined plate 10; the weighing sensor 5 is electrically connected to the control module of the second driving mechanism 9.
[0029] Furthermore, the rice outlet inclined plate 10 cooperates with the rice feeding box provided in the rice milling machine under the drive of the second driving mechanism 9 .
[0030] Specifically, during use, when the weight of rice in the rice unloading box body 1 reaches the amount set by the user, the weighing sensor 5 sends a signal to the control module of the second drive mechanism 9, and the control module of the second drive mechanism 9 controls the second drive mechanism 9 to push the rice outlet inclined plate 10 to slide below the rice unloading port 11, and the rice discharged from the rice unloading port 11 is transported to the rice transport box through the rice outlet inclined plate 10.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 4 and the second driving mechanism 9 are electric push rods.
[0032] The working process of the present invention is as follows: during use, the user enters the purchase quantity on the rice milling machine's operating panel, and the rice feed pipe feeds rice into the top opening of the rice discharge box body 1. The amount of rice in the rice discharge box body 1 gradually increases. When the weight of the rice in the rice discharge box reaches the user-set quantity, the weighing sensor 5 sends a signal to the control module of the first drive mechanism 4, which controls the first drive mechanism 4 to push the rice discharge baffle 3 to slide, exposing the rice discharge port 11, allowing the rice to be discharged from the rice discharge port 11. At the same time, the weighing sensor 5 sends a signal to the control module of the second drive mechanism 9, which controls the second drive mechanism 9 to push the rice discharge port inclined plate 10 to slide below the rice discharge port 11. The rice discharged from the rice discharge port 11 is transported to the rice feed box via the rice discharge port inclined plate 10, completing one weighing and unloading operation.
[0033] In the present invention, chutes 2 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the rice unloading box body 1, and a rice unloading baffle 3 is provided slidingly in the chute 2. A cleaning brush perpendicular to the chute 2 is provided on at least one side of the rice unloading baffle 3. The cleaning brush can promptly clean the broken rice, dust and impurities accumulated in the chute 2 after each rice unloading is completed, so that the broken rice and impurities fall off along the chute 2 to the end, thereby avoiding the wear of the rice unloading baffle 3 and the chute 2 by the broken rice and impurities, and extending the service life of the rice unloading box body 1. The output end of the first drive mechanism 4 is connected to the rice unloading baffle 3. Through the cooperation of the first drive mechanism 4 and the rice unloading baffle 3, the rice unloading speed can be flexibly adjusted to provide the user with a good user experience. The structure is simple, easy to use, highly automated, and has low operating costs, saving the user waiting time for taking rice.
