[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the rice storage compartment structure of the rice steamer is installed on one side of the frame 10 of the rice steamer, flush with the whole rice steamer. It does not require the rice storage compartment 1 to be installed at a higher height, resulting in higher overall integration. It solves the problem of difficulty in putting rice into the rice compartment 1, and the space layout is reasonable, making installation and use more convenient.

[0023] Its rice storage structure consists of a rice bin 1, a conveying pipe 2, and an airflow drive device 3. The conveying pipe 2 connects the rice bin 1 to the cooking chamber 101 of the rice steamer, transferring rice from the rice bin 1 to the cooking chamber 101 for cooking.

[0024] The conveying pipe 2 has a bend, which allows it to be installed even when the first end of the conveying pipe 2 is lower than the last end, adapting to the installation environment where the rice bin outlet 11 is lower than the inlet of the rice steamer cooking chamber 101; the bend can be made of a bent pipe 4 or the entire conveying pipe 2 can be made of a flexible hose, which facilitates the connection of its first and last ends.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rice feeding method is mainly achieved through the airflow drive device 3, which is connected to the conveying pipe 2. The airflow drive device 3 applies air pressure to the conveying pipe 2 so that the rice in the conveying pipe 2 is output from the outlet at the tail end.

[0026] Specifically, the first section of the conveying pipe 2 is arranged horizontally, and its upper part is connected to the outlet of the rice bin 1. The first end of the conveying pipe 2 is connected to the airflow drive device 3. The airflow / pressure direction passes through the connection between the rice bin outlet 11 and the conveying pipe 2, and conveys the rice grains to the tail end outlet of the conveying pipe 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the airflow drive device 3 is a pneumatic pump.

[0028] In this embodiment, the rice bin 1 is installed inside the frame 10 of the rice steamer, and the upper part of the rice bin 1 is no higher than the top of the frame 10. The overall design is compact, facilitating the placement of rice in the rice bin 1. Rice can be added or inspected simply by opening the opening at the top of the rice bin 1, eliminating the need to climb to a higher position to add rice. The top of the rice bin 1 is equipped with an openable cover 15, which is flush with the upper part of the frame 10.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outlet of the rice bin 1 is also equipped with a switch valve 5, which is used to open or close the rice bin outlet 11.

[0030] In one implementation, see Figure 2 , 3 The lower end of the rice bin 1 has a V-shaped conical constriction structure 12. A guide plate 13 is provided inside the constriction structure 12. The outlet is located at the tail end of the constriction structure 12 and descends under the action of gravity. The two sides of the guide plate 13 are inclined downwards. There is a rice passage gap 14 between the two sides of the guide plate 13 and the side wall of the constriction structure 12. The rice grains are guided along the two sides of the guide plate 13 and then diverted to the outlet, reducing the pressure at the outlet and preventing blockage. In this embodiment, the two ends of the guide plate 13 are respectively provided with connecting bottom columns. The other end of the connecting bottom columns is connected to the side wall of the constriction structure 12, so that the bottom end of the guide plate 13 has a gap distance with the side wall of the rice bin, forming the rice passage gap 14.

[0031] In one implementation, see Figure 4 5. The switching valve 5 includes a switch base 51 and a switch bolt 52. The switch bolt 52 is laterally inserted into the switch base 51. The middle part of the switch bolt 52 has a through hole 521 for rice grains to descend and pass through. When the switch bolt 52 moves and the through hole 521 is located in the middle of the switch base, it is in the open state, and the rice grains descend. Correspondingly, one side of the switch base 51 has a plate-shaped slot for inserting the switch bolt 52.

[0032] The switching valve 5 also includes an anti-blocking device, which includes an agitator 6 and a push rod 7. The agitator 6 is hinged in the switch seat 51 and has a hinge point. The upper end of the agitator 6 is the elastic part 61 and the lower end is the force-bearing part 62, with the hinge point as the boundary.

[0033] The push rods 7 are a pair, respectively located on the upper part of both sides of the switch plate bolt 52, parallel to the switch plate bolt 52 and moving as a unit. The ends of the push rods 7 on both sides contact the sides of the force-receiving part 62. When the switch plate bolt 52 moves, the push rods 7 cause the stirring block to sway left and right, stirring the rice grains. Figure 4 , 5 The diagram shown illustrates the state before and after stirring.

[0034] The elastic part 61 is a spring.

[0035] The switch base 51 is provided with a rod hole for the push rod 7 to pass through.

[0036] In an embodiment, the push rod 7 has a spacing distance between the two sides, which is smaller than the through hole 521.

[0037] In the embodiment, the switch base 51 has a stepped structure with a narrow upper part and a wide lower part. Figure 6 When the through hole 521 of the switch base 52 is about to close the upper narrow passage, the through hole 521 and the lower wide passage still have a distance, which can ensure that the rice is dropped completely before the through hole 521 and the lower wide passage are combined, preventing the rice from being pushed out of the switch base 51.

[0038] The upper and lower parts are closed in stages, the upper part is closed first, and then the lower part is closed, preventing the rice from being squeezed out of the outside or clogging the side wall of the switch base 51.

[0039] In the embodiment, the switch valve 5 and the airflow driving device 3 are controlled by the circuit control system of the rice steaming machine, and the amount of rice entering is controlled by the intelligent control system of the rice steaming machine.

[0040] The rice storage structure of the rice steaming machine is installed on one side of the rack 10 of the rice steaming machine and is flush with the whole rice steaming machine, without the need to install the rice storage 1 at a height, and the overall integration is higher, solving the problem of putting rice into the rice storage 1, and the space layout is reasonable, installation and use are more convenient; the rice is transported by the airflow pressure of the air pressure pump, which can transport the rice from a low place to a high place of the rice conveying pipeline, and can prevent the rice outlet from being blocked, and is reliable in use.

[0041] Based on the above ideal embodiments of the present application, through the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without deviating from the technical idea of the present application. The technical scope of the present application is not limited to the contents of the specification, and must be determined by the scope of the claims.
