Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice cooker inner pot processing technology, and in particular relates to an edge trimming device for processing rice cooker inner pots. Background Technology
[0002] An edge polishing and finishing device for the inner pot of a rice cooker is a specialized machine used for polishing and finishing the edges of the inner pot. This device is designed to improve the surface quality of the inner pot, enhance its durability, and make it more aesthetically pleasing. The edge polishing and finishing device typically consists of a high-speed rotating polishing wheel or polishing belt that contacts the edge of the inner pot, removing burrs, scratches, and other defects through friction to achieve a polishing effect. The material and grit size of the polishing tools are selected based on the material of the inner pot and the desired polishing effect. The control system controls parameters such as the rotation speed, pressure, and polishing time of the polishing tools to achieve a precise polishing result. Modern polishing and finishing equipment may also be equipped with automated control systems, which can automatically complete the polishing process according to preset programs, improving production efficiency and processing quality. Edge polishing and finishing equipment also has auxiliary devices such as cooling systems and dust removal systems to reduce temperature and dust during the polishing process, thereby protecting the polishing tools and the inner pot surface and maintaining a good working environment. In general, the edge polishing and finishing equipment for rice cooker inner pot processing is an important piece of mechanical equipment, which is of great significance for improving the processing quality and production efficiency of rice cooker inner pots.
[0003] The edge polishing and finishing device in the rice cooker inner pot manufacturing process plays a crucial role. Firstly, this device effectively improves the smoothness and neatness of the inner pot's edges. During the manufacturing process, burrs, unevenness, or irregular shapes may occur at the edges due to cutting, stamping, and other processes. The edge polishing and finishing device, through precise polishing and finishing techniques, removes these imperfections, making the inner pot's edges smooth and neat, thereby improving the overall aesthetics and texture of the product. Secondly, the polishing and finishing device enhances the durability and lifespan of the inner pot. Burrs and unevenness at the edges not only affect appearance but can also cause scratches to food or hands during use, and also affect the inner pot's sealing and heat retention performance. Polishing and finishing solves these potential problems, thereby improving the inner pot's durability and user experience. Furthermore, this device helps improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. Traditional edge processing may require manual grinding and finishing processes, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also difficult to guarantee consistency. Edge polishing and trimming devices enable automated and precise processing, significantly improving production efficiency while reducing labor costs and scrap rates. In summary, edge polishing and trimming devices for rice cooker inner pots play a crucial role in improving product quality, enhancing durability, increasing production efficiency, and reducing production costs. It is an indispensable part of the rice cooker inner pot production process and is essential for ensuring product quality and performance. However, the aforementioned technology has a problem: during the edge trimming process, there is an inability to stably clamp and limit the rice cooker inner pot. This can lead to the inner pot shifting due to external forces during edge trimming, reducing processing efficiency and making it inconvenient for users. Utility Model Content

[0007] To improve the ease of movement of the limiting mechanism, preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a rotating shaft block, a lead screw, a sliding plate, an arc plate, and a connecting gear. The rotating shaft block is located on the right side of the pad and is movably connected to the right side of the pad via a rotating shaft. The left side of the lead screw is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating shaft block. The surface of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the inner cavity of the sliding plate. The left side of the top of the sliding plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the fixed plate. The arc plate is located on the right side of the lead screw and is rotatably connected to the surface of the lead screw. The bottom of the arc plate is fixedly connected to the top of the trimming table. The connecting gear is located on the right side of the lead screw and is fixedly connected to the right side of the lead screw. The left side of the connecting gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the arc plate. By setting the adjusting mechanism, the lead screw can quickly drive the limiting mechanism to dock with the inner pot of the rice cooker through the cooperation of the sliding plate and the fixed plate, avoiding the situation where the limiting mechanism cannot dock with various sizes of rice cooker inner pots.
[0008] To improve the ease of use of the adjustment mechanism, preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a dual-head motor, two transmission rods, two transmission gears, and two chains. The dual-head motor is located on the top of the trimming table and is fixedly installed to the top of the trimming table with bolts.

By setting the cylindrical rod, the cylindrical rod can make the clamping block move along a certain trajectory through the connection end with the spring and the clamping block.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention comprises a trimming table, a telescopic bracket, a pad, an inner pot of a rice cooker, a trimming mechanism, a limiting mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The inner pot of the rice cooker is placed on top of the pad. Then, a dual-head motor is started. The dual-head motor drives a transmission rod to rotate through its output ends on both sides. During rotation, the transmission rod drives a transmission gear, which in turn drives a connecting gear via a chain. The connecting gear, in turn, drives a lead screw to rotate through its connection end with a sliding plate. As the lead screw rotates, it drives the limiting mechanism to engage with the inner pot of the rice cooker through its threaded connection end with a sliding plate. During engagement, a clamping block is pulled, compressing a spring. Once the fixing plate is in contact with the surface of the inner pot, the clamping block is released, and the spring returns to its original position. The mechanism quickly moves the clamping blocks to fit against the surface of the rice cooker's inner pot. This, combined with the unreleased spring force and the clamping blocks, clamps and limits the front and rear sides of the inner pot. After the clamping blocks are in contact with the inner pot, the dual-head motor is turned off, causing the adjustment mechanism to lose its driving force. With the lead screw losing its rotational torque, it locks the limiting mechanism at its threaded connection to the sliding plate. After limiting the inner pot, the telescopic rod is activated. The telescopic rod, through its telescopic end, moves the polishing disc to fit against the top of the inner pot. Once the polishing disc is in contact with the inner pot, the drive motor is activated. The drive motor, through its output end, rotates the telescopic rod and the polishing disc, thus trimming the edge of the inner pot's top and further improving the edge trimming effect.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model:
[0022] In use, place the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker on top of the pad 3, then start the dual-head motor 801. The dual-head motor 801 will drive the transmission rod 802 to rotate through its output ends on both sides. During the rotation of the transmission rod 802, the transmission gear 803 will rotate, and the transmission gear 803 will drive the connecting gear 705 to rotate through the chain 804.

After the fixing plate 601 moves to fit against the surface of the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker, the clamping block 602 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 603 will rebound, quickly moving the clamping block 602 to engage with the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker. The surfaces of the inner pot 4 are adhered to each other, thereby achieving clamping and limiting of the front and rear sides of the inner pot 4 through the unreleased elastic force of the spring 603 and the interaction of the clamping block 602. After the clamping block 602 is adhered to the surface of the inner pot 4, the dual-head motor 801 is turned off, which causes the adjustment mechanism 7 to lose its driving force. After the lead screw 702 loses its rotational torque, it can lock and limit the position of the limiting mechanism 6 through the threaded connection end with the slide plate 703. The limiting of the inner pot 4 is completed. Then, the telescopic rod 502 is activated. The telescopic rod 502 will drive the polishing disc 503 to fit against the top of the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker through its telescopic end. After the polishing disc 503 fits against the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker, the drive motor 501 is activated. The drive motor 501 will drive the telescopic rod 502 and the polishing disc 503 to rotate through its output end, thereby achieving the trimming treatment of the top edge of the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker, thereby further improving the trimming effect of the inner pot 4 of the rice cooker.
[0023] The specific models and specifications of the trimming platform 1, telescopic bracket 2, drive motor 501, telescopic rod 502 and double-headed motor 801 proposed in this application need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device.
