Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of rice wine production and processing technology, specifically relating to a glutinous rice steaming bed for rice wine production. Background Technology

[0002] Rice wine, also known as fermented rice wine or sweet wine, was formerly called "Li". Its main ingredient is glutinous rice, hence the name glutinous rice wine. In northern China, it is generally called "rice wine" or "sweet wine". It is a sweet rice wine made by fermenting steamed glutinous rice with yeast (a special type of microbial yeast).

[0003] In the process of rice wine brewing, glutinous rice requires multiple processing steps, including steaming in a rice steaming bed to facilitate later fermentation. Existing rice steaming beds for rice wine production often involve cumbersome procedures for securing the lid, impacting efficiency and user experience. Furthermore, if the lid is not securely fastened, steam leakage can easily occur between the bed and the lid, leading to significant steam waste and increased energy consumption. Therefore, we provide a rice steaming bed for rice wine production that solves these problems. Utility Model Content

The two limiting slide rods are respectively distributed on both sides of the slide column, and the upper ends of the two limiting slide rods pass through the bottom surface of the mounting plate and extend to the top of the mounting plate.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a cooling mechanism is installed on the inner bottom wall of the bed. The cooling mechanism includes a cooling pipe, which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the bed. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the bed, and a fan is installed on the upper surface of the fixing plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a connecting pipe is installed on the right side of the bed, the left end of the connecting pipe is installed on the right side of the cooling pipe, and the right end of the connecting pipe is installed at the air outlet of the fan.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) This utility model uses the cooperation between the bed body, the top cover, the sealing strip and the fixing mechanism to place the top cover on the top of the bed body and ensure that the bottom surface of the top cover is aligned with the sealing strip. Then, the fixing frame is flipped so that it is vertically above the top cover. Then, the handle is pressed down. With the cooperation of the elliptical block, the top plate, the sliding column and the limiting sliding rod, the lower pressing block is moved down stably and the spring is compressed until the lower pressing block is pressed tightly against the upper surface of the top cover, thereby achieving quick fixing of the top cover. The whole process is simple and quick. At the same time, the bottom surface of the top cover is tightly fitted with the sealing strip, which effectively prevents steam leakage.

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a glutinous rice steaming bed for rice wine production, specifically including a bed body 1, an upper cover 2, a sealing strip 3, and a fixing mechanism 4. The upper cover 2 is positioned above the bed body 1, and the sealing strip 3 is installed on the top of the bed body 1. The bottom surface of the upper cover 2 is in contact with the sealing strip 3, and an exhaust pipe 5 is installed on the top of the upper cover 2. Fixing mechanisms 4 are installed on both the front and rear sides of the bed body 1. The fixing mechanism 4 includes a fixing frame 401, which is rotatably connected to the side of the bed body 1. An mounting frame 402 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the fixing frame 401, and an elliptical block 403 is rotatably connected inside the mounting frame 402. A handle 404 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the elliptical block 403. An installation plate 405 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fixing frame 401. A sliding column 406 passes through the upper surface of the installation plate 405. The sliding column 406 is slidably connected to the installation plate 405. A top plate 407 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding column 406. The elliptical block 403 is in contact with the upper surface of the top plate 407. A lower pressure block 408 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding column 406. The bottom surface of the lower pressure block 408 is in contact with the upper surface of the top cover 2. A spring 409 is provided between the top plate 407 and the installation plate 405. The spring 409 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding column 406.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top cover 2, when placed on top of the bed 1, forms a steaming space. The sealing strip 3, made of a high-temperature resistant and elastic material, ensures a tight fit between the top cover 2 and the bed 1. The exhaust pipe 5 is designed to release excess steam during the steaming process, maintaining a moderate internal pressure in the rice steamer and preventing excessive pressure from causing equipment damage or safety hazards. The design of the fixing mechanism 4 allows the top cover 2 to be quickly and securely fixed to the bed 1, preventing accidental opening during steaming. The fixing bracket 401 in the fixing mechanism 4 is rotatably connected to the side of the bed 1, allowing for easy flipping to fix or release the top cover 2. The handle 404 can be gripped and... Pressing down causes the elliptical block 403 to rotate and push the top plate 407, which in turn exerts a squeezing effect on the sliding column 406. At the same time, the spring 409 is compressed. Under the limiting and guiding action of the limiting slide rod 410, the pressing block 408 is driven to move down steadily until the bottom surface of the pressing block 408 is pressed tightly against the upper surface of the top cover 2, thus quickly fixing the top cover 2. When opening the top cover, simply push the handle 404 upward to make the elliptical block 403 rotate until it no longer exerts a pressing effect on the top plate 407. Under the reaction force of the spring 409, the top plate 407, sliding column 406, limiting slide rod 410 and pressing block 408 will quickly return to their original positions, thus canceling the fixing of the top cover 2.

[0029] Please see Figure 3As shown, two limiting slide rods 410 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the lower pressure block 408. The two limiting slide rods 410 are distributed on both sides of the slide column 406, and the upper ends of the two limiting slide rods 410 pass through the bottom surface of the mounting plate 405 and extend to the top of the mounting plate 405. The limiting slide rods 410 play a limiting and guiding role in the movement of the lower pressure block 408, so that the lower pressure block 408 can move stably upward or downward along the axial direction of the limiting slide rods 410.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a cooling mechanism 6 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the bed 1. The cooling mechanism 6 specifically includes a cooling pipe 601, which is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the bed 1. A fixing plate 602 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bed 1. A fan 603 is installed on the upper surface of the fixing plate 602. A connecting pipe 604 is installed on the right side of the bed 1. The left end of the connecting pipe 604 is installed on the right side of the cooling pipe 601, and the right end of the connecting pipe 604 is installed at the air outlet of the fan 603. The fan 603 in the cooling mechanism 6 is started by an external control switch. The fan 603 is connected to the cooling pipe 601 through the connecting pipe 604, allowing external air to be blown into the cooling pipe 601. Multiple exhaust holes are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the cooling pipe 601, allowing the generated airflow to be evenly discharged. This airflow blows air onto the rice steaming on the honeycomb plate 10, quickly removing the heat from the steaming rice and thus rapidly cooling it down. A steam pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the bed body 1. The steam pipe 7 and the cooling pipe 601 are distributed in an alternating manner. A connecting pipe 2 8 is installed on the left side of the bed body 1, and the right end of the connecting pipe 2 8 is installed on the left side of the steam pipe 7.

[0031] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the steam pipe 7 and the cooling pipe 601 are staggered, so that when they are used, the steam or the airflow generated by the fan 603 can be evenly applied to the glutinous rice on the honeycomb plate 10. The upper surface of the steam pipe 7 is also evenly provided with multiple exhaust holes, and the steam pipe 7 is connected to an external steam boiler through a connecting pipe 2 8. The steam generated by the steam boiler, in cooperation with the connecting pipe 2 8 and the steam pipe 7, can be used to steam the glutinous rice on the honeycomb plate 10.

[0032] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a retaining ring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bed frame 1, and a honeycomb panel 10 is installed inside the bed frame 1, located on the upper surface of the retaining ring 9. The design of the retaining ring 9 allows the honeycomb panel 10 to be stably placed inside the bed frame 1, while also making it easy to remove and clean. Four support legs 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the bed frame 1, and each of the four support legs 11 is equipped with a caster wheel 12 at its lower end. Each of the four caster wheels 12 has a brake pad 13 on its side. The caster wheels 12 facilitate the movement of the rice steamer to a suitable position, and by adjusting the brake pads 13 on the side of the caster wheels 12 to the braking state, the rice steamer can maintain a stable working state during normal use.

[0033] When using this rice steamer, the universal wheels 12 are used to move the steamer to a suitable location. The brake pads 13 on the side of the wheels are then adjusted to the braking position. A steam boiler is connected via the connecting pipe 2 8. Glutinous rice is then evenly spread on the honeycomb plate 10. The top cover 2 is placed on top of the steamer body 1, ensuring the bottom surface of the top cover 2 is aligned with the sealing strip 3 on the top of the steamer body 1. The fixing brackets 401 in the fixing mechanisms 4 on both sides of the steamer body 1 are flipped so that they are vertically positioned above the top cover 2. The handle 404 is grasped and pressed down, causing the elliptical block 403 to rotate and push the top plate 407, thus squeezing the sliding column 406 and compressing the spring 409. Then, under the limiting and guiding action of the limiting slide rod 410, the lower pressure block 408 is moved steadily downwards until the bottom surface of the lower pressure block 408 is firmly pressed against the upper surface of the top cover 2. After securing the top cover 2, steam generated by an external steam boiler is used to steam the glutinous rice on the honeycomb plate 10 through the connecting pipe 2 8 and the steam pipe 7. After steaming, the steam boiler is turned off, and the handle 404 is pushed upward to rotate the elliptical block 403 until it no longer exerts downward pressure on the top plate 407. Under the reaction force of the spring 409, the top plate 407, sliding column 406, limit sliding rod 410, and pressure block 408 will quickly return to their original positions, thus releasing the fixation of the top cover 2. Then, the top cover 2 is opened, and the fan 603 is started through the external control switch. The airflow generated by the fan 603 enters the cooling pipe 601 through the connecting pipe 1 604, and blows air onto the steaming rice on the honeycomb plate 10 through the cooling pipe 601, which can quickly remove the heat from the steaming rice and thus quickly cool it down.

[0034] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
