[0002] Rice is a very important part of the daily diet of Chinese people and one of the traditional staple foods. Rice can be eaten as a staple food with various dishes and is an important component of the Chinese diet. People in different regions have different preferences for the cooking methods and flavors of rice. In China, people usually use rice to cook rice, which is simply washed and boiled to become white cooked rice. There are many types and flavors of rice, which can be adjusted according to personal taste, making it an indispensable food on the Chinese table.
[0003] In traditional catering establishments such as schools, businesses, and large canteens, rice is often served in insulated containers for customers to take themselves. This can lead to over-serving, spilled rice, food waste, and bacterial growth due to frequent hand contact. Alternatively, a designated person may serve rice, resulting in inaccurate portion sizes and increased labor costs. Even with existing smart rice-serving machines, the rice's texture is affected by repeated internal mechanical mixing, and the complex internal structure makes subsequent cleaning difficult.

[0022] Example
[0023] Reference Figures 1-3An automatic rice cutting device includes a frame 8. A steaming tray lifting mechanism 2 is provided on the right side of the frame 8. The steaming tray lifting mechanism 2 includes a lifting motor 205 fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 8 and multiple mounting seats 204. Two sets of transmission mechanisms 202 are rotatably connected between the mounting seats 204. The transmission mechanism 202 includes a transmission wheel and a transmission belt. Multiple sets of placement plates 203 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the transmission belt. A synchronization mechanism 201 is installed and connected to the output end of the lifting motor 205. One side of the synchronization mechanism 201 is fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission wheel. Multiple specially made stainless steel steaming trays 1 are placed on the steaming tray lifting mechanism 2. A steaming tray moving mechanism 3 is fixedly provided inside the frame 8. A rice cutting area 4 is fixedly provided inside the frame 8 on the left side of the steaming tray moving mechanism 3. A steaming tray recycling port 6 and a rice collection point 7 are respectively provided on the right end and the right side of the front end of the rice cutting area 4. A rice cutting mechanism 5 is provided above the frame 8.
[0024] It should be noted that: a notch is provided on the front right side of the special stainless steel steaming tray 1, and a groove corresponding to the notch is provided on the rice cutting area 4 to ensure that the cut rice can fall into the rice collection area 7 through the notch. A pusher plate 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steaming tray moving mechanism 3. The cross section of the pusher plate 301 is L-shaped to ensure that the special stainless steel steaming tray 1 can be pushed to move towards the rice cutting area 4.
[0025] Reference Figures 3-4 The rice cutting mechanism 5 includes a first drive mechanism 501 fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the frame 8, which is used to control the rice cutting mechanism 5 to move left and right. A second drive mechanism 502 is provided on the first drive mechanism 501, which is used to control the rice cutting mechanism 5 to move back and forth. A slider is threadedly connected inside the second drive mechanism 502. A cylinder 503 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the slider. A cutter is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 503. The cutter can be controlled to move up and down by the cylinder 503.
[0026] It should be noted that the cutter has an L-shaped cross-section to ensure effective cutting of rice. The frame 8 has an outlet that matches the height of the special stainless steel steaming tray 1 to ensure the stability of the special stainless steel steaming tray when it moves. The groove width at the steaming tray return port 6 is greater than the width of the special stainless steel steaming tray 1, ensuring that the special stainless steel steaming tray 1 can slide out of the rice cutting area 4 through the steaming tray return port 6. The special stainless steel steaming tray 1 is located on the placement plate 203 on different transmission belts. When the transmission belt moves, it can drive multiple special stainless steel steaming trays 1 to move upward synchronously.
[0027] The working principle of this automatic rice cutting device is as follows: specially made stainless steel steaming trays 1 with pre-cooked rice are placed layer by layer into the plate lifting mechanism 2, i.e., the placement plate 201. Then, the steaming tray moving mechanism 3 moves the top layer of specially made stainless steel steaming trays 1 to the rice cutting area 4. Then, the first driving mechanism 501, the second driving mechanism 502 and the cylinder 503 drive the rice cutting mechanism 5 to complete the cutting action of the diners to the required amount of rice, and push the cut rice into the plate at the rice serving area 7. At the same time, the steaming tray lifting mechanism 2 is driven by the lifting motor 205 to raise the next layer of specially made stainless steel steaming trays 1 with pre-cooked rice to the top layer.
[0028] After the rice is no longer in the special stainless steel steaming tray 1 in the rice cutting area 4, the steaming tray moving mechanism 3 moves the top layer of the special stainless steel steaming tray 1 of the steaming tray lifting mechanism 2 to the rice cutting area 4, and pushes the empty special stainless steel steaming tray 1 out from the steaming tray return port 6, and repeats this process. After use, you only need to wipe and wash the cutter on the rice cutting mechanism 5 and the special stainless steel tray 1 respectively. This not only prevents the steamed rice from being mashed, but also makes it easy to clean and maintain, and avoids the problems of cross-contamination and food waste.
