[0002] With the development of modern agriculture, grain processing technology has also been significantly improved. Rice hulling, as a crucial step in grain processing, primarily aims to remove the outer husk of grains to facilitate subsequent processing and utilization. Traditional rice hulling methods relied heavily on manual operation or simple machinery, resulting in low efficiency and high labor intensity. With technological advancements, various types of rice hulling machines have emerged, which not only improve work efficiency but also reduce production costs, bringing great convenience to agricultural production.
[0003] While existing rice hullers on the market can meet basic rice hulling needs, when processing certain types of grains, such as long-grain rice, the improper design of the feed hopper can easily cause blockages before the grains enter the hulling chamber. This affects the equipment's efficiency and the quality of the processed grains. At the same time, an unreasonable feed hopper design can also increase the breakage rate of the grains, thus affecting the quality of the final product. Therefore, optimizing the design of the feed hopper structure of rice hullers is particularly important to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a grain hulling device, including a hulling machine body 1, a hulling chamber composed of hulling rollers 2 on the hulling machine body 1, and a feed hopper 3 on the top of the hulling chamber. A support frame 4 is detachably installed inside the feed hopper 3, and a vertically distributed central shaft 5 runs through the middle of the support frame 4. Several guide plates 6 are arranged around the top of the central shaft 5, and each guide plate 6 has an individual adjustment mechanism 7 at its connection point to the central shaft 5 for adjusting the tilt angle of the guide plate 6. A symmetrical anti-blocking baffle 8 with adjustable opening and closing degree is provided at the bottom of the central shaft 5. In use, the grain enters from the feed hopper 3 and is first guided by the guide plates 6. The guide plates 6 can be flexibly adjusted by the adjustment mechanisms 7. The tilt angle is adjusted to ensure that the grains can smoothly slide into the hulling chamber. Simultaneously, the stable support of the support frame 4 and the central shaft 5 ensures the stability of the guide plate 6 during adjustment. The anti-blocking baffle 8, by adjusting its opening and closing degree, further prevents grain blockage during feeding, ensuring the uniformity and continuity of grain flow. This effectively avoids grain accumulation and damage in the feed hopper 3, thereby improving the equipment's working efficiency and grain processing quality. It solves the problem of high grain blockage and damage rates in existing rice hullers due to unreasonable feed hopper design. Each set of the adjustment mechanism 7 includes a positioning column 71, a positioning ring 72, and an adjustment coupling 73. The positioning column 71 is horizontally fixed around the top of the central shaft 5, and the positioning ring 72 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning column 71 and... The adjusting coupling 73 is fixed by the locking screw and is movably connected between the bottom of the positioning ring 72 and the top of the inner end of the guide plate 6. The connections between the adjusting coupling 73, the positioning ring 72, and the guide plate 6 are all hinged. The tilt angle of the guide plate 6 can be flexibly adjusted by adjusting the position of the positioning ring 72. When it is necessary to change the angle of the guide plate 6, loosen the locking screw on the positioning ring 72, adjust the position of the positioning ring 72 laterally outside the positioning post 71, and then retighten the locking screw on the positioning ring 72. The change in the position of the positioning ring 72 will cause the adjusting coupling 73 to move, thereby changing the tilt angle of the guide plate 6. The inner side of the top of the anti-blocking baffle 8 is hinged to the outer wall of the central shaft 5 via a pivot pin, and the inner side of the anti-blocking baffle 8 is also hinged to the central shaft 5. A swing cylinder 9, model SC160-100, is also connected between the outer walls of the feed hopper 3. One end of the swing cylinder 9 is fixed to the outer wall of the central shaft 5 via a fixed bracket, and the other end is connected to the inner side of the anti-blocking baffle 8 via a hinge seat. When grain enters from the feed hopper 3, the swing cylinder 9 is driven by air pressure to rotate the anti-blocking baffle 8 around the pivot pin, adjusting the opening and closing degree of the anti-blocking baffle 8, thereby preventing the grain from blocking during the feeding process and ensuring that the grain can smoothly enter the hulling chamber. This further avoids the accumulation and damage of grain in the feed hopper 3. Both sides of the support frame 4 are inclined, and the bottom of both sides of the support frame 4 are welded and fixed with inserts 41. The inner walls of both sides of the feed hopper 3 are welded and fixed with inserts 31 that match the structure of the inserts 41.The support frame 4 of this structure can be quickly installed and disassembled through the cooperation of the insert 41 and the base 31. When it is necessary to replace or maintain the guide plate 6 or the anti-blocking baffle 8, the support frame 4 can be easily removed from the base 31. During installation, the support frame 4 can be quickly fixed by inserting the insert 41 into the base 31. This simplifies the disassembly and assembly process, improves the convenience of maintenance and replacement, and ensures the stability of the support frame 4 during use. The guide plate 6 has three circumferentially arranged around the top of the central shaft 5, and the surface of the guide plate 6 is evenly provided with several protrusions 61. After the grain enters the feed hopper 3, it can smoothly slide into the hulling chamber along the surface of the guide plate 6. The circumferential distribution of the guide plate 6 and the The quantity setting ensures uniform distribution of grains, reducing the possibility of blockage. The raised strips 61 increase the friction between the grains and the guide plate 6, preventing slippage during descent and further improving grain flowability and processing efficiency. The anti-blocking baffle 8 has a plurality of micro-holes 81 evenly distributed on its surface, with a plurality of toothed strips evenly distributed between the micro-holes 81. This structure allows airflow through the micro-holes 81 as grains pass through the anti-blocking baffle 8, reducing air resistance during descent and ensuring smooth grain flow. Simultaneously, the toothed strips on the surface of the anti-blocking baffle 8 increase the friction between the grains and the baffle 8, preventing slippage and further improving grain throughput efficiency.
[0019] Working principle: When using this grain hulling device, first adjust the tilt angle of the guide plate 6 in advance. During adjustment, first loosen the locking screw on the positioning ring 72, adjust the position of the positioning ring 72 laterally outside the positioning column 71, and then tighten the locking screw on the positioning ring 72. The change in the position of the positioning ring 72 will drive the adjusting coupling 73 to move, thereby changing the tilt angle of the guide plate 6. Next, pour the grain into the feed hopper 3. After the grain enters the feed hopper 3, it will slide down along the surface of the guide plate 6. Under the guidance of the guide plate 6, the grain continues to flow downward and enters the anti-blocking baffle 8 area. At this time, the swing cylinder 9 is driven by air pressure to make the anti-blocking baffle 8 rotate around the pivot pin, adjusting the opening and closing degree of the anti-blocking baffle 8. After the grain passes through the anti-blocking baffle 8, it enters the hulling chamber of the hulling machine body 1. The outer shell is removed by the action of the hulling roller group 2, and finally it is discharged from the discharge port. In the whole process, the support frame 4 can be quickly installed and disassembled through the cooperation of the insert 41 and the insert 31, thereby completing a series of operations.
[0020] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
