Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rice wine processing equipment, specifically to a feeding machine for soaking rice. Background Technology

[0002] Rice wine, also known as sweet wine or fermented glutinous rice, has a long history in China. It is a low-alcohol beverage made from glutinous rice through fermentation. It has a sweet taste and a rich aroma. It can be drunk directly or used as a cooking seasoning to add a unique flavor to dishes.

[0003] In the process of making rice wine, rice needs to be soaked in a soaking tank. After being added to the tank, the rice needs to be spread out evenly to ensure complete soaking. Traditionally, rice is added manually by workers, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. Currently, to save labor, a conveyor belt is used to add rice to the soaking tank. While this method saves labor and improves efficiency, it still has the following drawbacks in practical use:

[0004] When rice is fed into the soaking tank via a conveyor, the rice falls into the tank at the same point, resulting in the rice being piled up in a cone shape in the soaking tank. This still requires manual intervention from staff to spread the rice evenly, which is a defect and has low practicality.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a feeding machine for soaking rice. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rice soaking feeder, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A rice soaking feeder includes a base, an inclined conveying pipe fixedly installed on the top of the base, the highest end of the conveying pipe extending to the outside of the base, an auger rod rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe, an electric motor for driving the auger rod to rotate fixedly installed on the conveying pipe, a feed hopper connected to the inside of the top and the side near the bottom of the conveying pipe fixedly installed, and a discharge pipe connected to the inside of the bottom and the side near the top of the conveying pipe fixedly installed.

[0009] The bottom of the discharge pipe is fixedly installed with a discharge hopper that communicates with its interior. The bottom of the discharge hopper is fixedly installed with a corrugated hose. The bottom of the corrugated hose is fixedly installed with a connecting pipe that communicates with its interior. A connecting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting pipe. A connecting shaft is fixed on the connecting pipe. The connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. A drive mechanism that acts on the connecting pipe is installed on the discharge pipe to make the connecting pipe swing back and forth around the connecting shaft.

[0010] Furthermore: the driving mechanism includes a bracket fixedly installed on the discharge pipe, a turntable rotatably installed on the bracket, a rotating shaft fixed at the eccentric position of the turntable near the discharge pipe, a transmission plate fixed on the connecting pipe, the transmission plate being slidably hinged to the rotating shaft, and a motor for driving the turntable to rotate fixedly installed on the bracket.

[0011] Furthermore: a slider is slidably installed at the center of the turntable near the discharge pipe on the eccentric side, and a driving component is installed on the turntable to make the slider slide or stop sliding on the turntable. The rotating shaft is installed at the eccentric side of the turntable near the discharge pipe via the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the driving element includes a driving rod rotatably mounted on the turntable, the driving rod being threadedly connected to the slider.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting pipe is detachably fitted with a feed pipe that communicates with the inside of the connecting pipe via a snap-fit ​​mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore: the snap-fit ​​mechanism includes a fixing plate, a positioning plate, a positioning rod, and a snap-fit ​​component;

[0015] Both sides of the connecting pipe are fixedly installed with fixing plates. The fixing plates have symmetrically opened positioning holes. Both sides of the feeding pipe are fixedly installed with positioning plates. The positioning plates are symmetrically fixed with vertical positioning rods. The two positioning rods can be inserted into the two positioning holes respectively. The positioning plates are equipped with snap-fit ​​parts that can be connected to the fixing plates. When the positioning plates and the fixing plates are in contact, the feeding pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, and the positioning plates and the fixing plates can be snapped together by the snap-fit ​​parts.

[0016] Furthermore: the snap-fit ​​component includes a snap-fit ​​rod hinged to the top of the positioning plate, and a snap-fit ​​hole is provided on the fixing plate. When the positioning plate and the fixing plate are in contact, the snap-fit ​​rod can pass through the snap-fit ​​hole and snap-fit ​​with the fixing plate.

[0017] This utility model provides a rice soaking feeder. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. When in use, position the discharge pipe directly above the soaking tank. When conveying rice, control the drive mechanism to make the connecting pipe swing back and forth around the connecting shaft. This will cause the rice discharged through the connecting pipe to be spread evenly in the soaking tank, effectively preventing the rice from being piled up in a cone shape in the soaking tank. This eliminates the need for manual intervention to spread the rice evenly, saving workers' energy and improving practicality.

[0019] 2. In use, the slider is moved on the turntable by the drive component, which can adjust the distance between the slider and the center of the turntable. When the turntable rotates on the support and the rotating shaft moves in a circle around the turntable, the transmission plate reduces the reciprocating swing amplitude of the end of the connecting pipe away from the corrugated hose, thereby enabling rice feeding into soaking tanks of different lengths and improving applicability.

[0020] 3. By setting up a feeding pipe, the feeding pipe and the connecting pipe are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. During use, the feeding pipe can be replaced according to the width of the soaking tank so that the width of the feeding pipe is the same as the width of the soaking tank. This allows the rice to fill the width of the soaking tank when it is discharged through the feeding pipe, making this equipment suitable for feeding rice into soaking tanks of different widths.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] To address the technical problems in the background section, the following rice soaking feeder is provided:

[0031] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a rice soaking feeder, including a base 1, an inclined conveying pipe 2 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, the highest end of the conveying pipe 2 extending to the outside of the base 1, an auger rod 21 rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe 2, an electric motor 22 fixedly installed on the conveying pipe 2 for driving the auger rod 21 to rotate, a feeding hopper 23 connected to the inside of the top and the side near the bottom of the conveying pipe 2 fixedly installed, and a discharge pipe 24 connected to the inside of the bottom and the side near the top of the bottom of the conveying pipe 2 fixedly installed.

[0032] The bottom of the discharge pipe 24 is fixedly equipped with a discharge hopper 3 that communicates with its interior. A corrugated hose 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the discharge hopper 3. A connecting pipe 32, communicating with its interior, is fixedly installed at the bottom of the corrugated hose 31. A connecting plate 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting pipe 32. A connecting shaft 321 is fixedly installed on the connecting pipe 32, and the connecting shaft 321 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 4. A driving mechanism 5 is installed on the discharge pipe 24, which acts on the connecting pipe 32 to make the connecting pipe 32 swing back and forth around the connecting shaft 321. In use, the discharge pipe 24 is positioned directly above the soaking tank, and rice is poured into the conveying pipe 2 through the feed hopper 23. When the control motor 22 is turned on, the motor 22 drives the auger rod 21 to rotate inside the conveying pipe 2, thereby conveying the rice poured into the conveying pipe 2 towards the discharge pipe 24. The rice is then discharged through the discharge pipe 24, the discharge hopper 3, the corrugated hose 31, and the connecting pipe 32. During this process, the control drive mechanism 5 causes the connecting pipe 32 to swing back and forth around the connecting shaft 321, thereby driving the rice discharged through the connecting pipe 32 to be spread evenly in the soaking tank. This effectively avoids the rice from piling up in a cone shape in the soaking tank, eliminating the need for manual intervention to spread the rice evenly, saving the staff's energy and improving practicality.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0035] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 5 includes a bracket 51 fixedly mounted on the discharge pipe 24, a turntable 52 rotatably mounted on the bracket 51, a rotating shaft 53 fixedly mounted at the eccentric position of the turntable 52 near the discharge pipe 24, and a transmission plate 54 fixedly mounted on the connecting pipe 32. The transmission plate 54 is slidably hinged to the rotating shaft 53. Specifically, the transmission plate 54 has a sliding groove, in which the rotating shaft 53 can slide and rotate. A motor 55 for driving the turntable 52 to rotate is fixedly mounted on the bracket 51. In use, the motor 55 is turned on, and the turntable 52 rotates on the bracket 51. The rotating shaft 53 makes a circular motion around the turntable 52 and slides and rotates in the sliding groove. Thus, the end of the connecting pipe 32 away from the corrugated hose 31 can be oscillating back and forth through the transmission plate 54.

[0036] In this embodiment, a slider 521 is slidably installed at the center of the turntable 52 near the discharge pipe 24. A driving member 6 is installed on the turntable 52 to act on the slider 521, which is used to make the slider 521 slide on the turntable 52 or stop sliding. The rotating shaft 53 is installed at the center of the turntable 52 near the discharge pipe 24 through the slider 521. In use, the slider 521 is slid on the turntable 52 by the driving member 6, which can adjust the distance between the slider 521 and the center of the turntable 52. Thus, when the turntable 52 rotates on the support 51 and the rotating shaft 53 makes a circular motion around the turntable 52, the reciprocating swing amplitude of the end of the connecting pipe 32 away from the corrugated hose 31 is reduced by the transmission plate 54, thereby realizing the feeding of rice into soaking tanks of different lengths and improving applicability.

[0037] In this embodiment, the driving component 6 includes a driving rod 61 rotatably mounted on the turntable 52. The driving rod 61 is threadedly connected to the slider 521. In use, a force is applied to the driving rod 61 to make it rotate on the turntable 52, thereby allowing the slider 521 to slide on the turntable 52. The operation is simple. Since the threaded connection between the driving rod 61 and the slider 521 has self-locking properties, the slider 521 can be fixed to the turntable 52 without rotating the driving rod 61, which is convenient for use.

[0038] Example 3

[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:

[0040] In this embodiment, a feeding pipe 8 that communicates with the inside of the connecting pipe 32 is detachably installed at the bottom of the connecting pipe 32 via a snap-fit ​​mechanism 7. By setting the feeding pipe 8, the feeding pipe 8 and the connecting pipe 32 are detachably connected via the snap-fit ​​mechanism 7. In use, the feeding pipe 8 can be replaced according to the width of the soaking pool so that the width of the feeding pipe 8 is the same as the width of the soaking pool. This allows the rice to fill the width of the soaking pool when it is discharged through the feeding pipe 8, making the device suitable for feeding rice into soaking pools of different widths.

[0041] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​mechanism 7 includes a fixing plate 71, a positioning plate 72, a positioning rod 73, and a snap-fit ​​component 74;

[0042] Both sides of the connecting pipe 32 are fixedly installed with fixing plates 71, and symmetrical positioning holes 711 are opened on the fixing plates 71. Both sides of the feeding pipe 8 are fixedly installed with positioning plates 72, and symmetrically fixed with vertical positioning rods 73. The two positioning rods 73 can be inserted into the two positioning holes 711 respectively. The positioning plates 72 are equipped with snap-fit ​​pieces 74 that can be connected to the fixing plates 71. When the positioning plates 72 and the fixing plates 71 are in contact, the feeding pipe 8 is connected to the connecting pipe 32, and can be connected through the snap-fit ​​pieces 74. The positioning plate 72 and the fixing plate 71 are interlocked. When installing the feed tube 8, the positioning rods 73 on the two positioning plates 72 are inserted into the positioning holes 711 on the two fixing plates 71 respectively, so that the two positioning plates 72 are respectively attached to the two fixing plates 71. Then, the positioning plates 72 and the fixing plates 71 are interlocked and fixed by the snap-fit ​​parts 74, and the installation of the feed tube 8 can be completed. Conversely, the two sets of snap-fit ​​parts 74 are removed from the interlocking between the positioning plates 72 and the fixing plates 71, and the feed tube 8 can be disassembled.

[0043] In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​component 74 includes a snap-fit ​​rod 741 hinged to the top of the positioning plate 72. The fixing plate 71 has a snap-fit ​​hole 712. When the positioning plate 72 and the fixing plate 71 are in contact, the snap-fit ​​rod 741 can pass through the snap-fit ​​hole 712 and snap-fit ​​with the fixing plate 71. In use, the positioning plate 72 and the fixing plate 71 are in contact. At this time, the snap-fit ​​rod 741 passes through the snap-fit ​​hole 712. Rotating the snap-fit ​​rod 741 will snap it with the fixing plate 71. Conversely, rotating the snap-fit ​​rod 741 will allow it to pass through the snap-fit ​​hole 712, thereby canceling the snap-fit ​​between the positioning plate 72 and the fixing plate 71, so that the feed tube 8 can be disassembled.
