DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] Clearly and completely describe the technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, and not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by the ordinary skilled in the art without creative labor belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0025] A rice storage device with rice output control, which mainly comprises a grain storage barrel (1) and a rice control unit (2) installed at the bottom of the grain storage barrel (1), the rice control unit (2) is compact in structure and suitable for different rice varieties and various rice output scenarios. The whole device does not need electric control and completely relies on mechanical structure to realize rice output adjustment, which is easy to operate and safe to use.
[0026] The grain storage barrel (1) can be injection molded by food-grade high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) material, and a visual window (10) is arranged on the outer wall for real-time observation of the remaining rice quantity in the barrel. The lower opening of the grain storage barrel (1) is a horn-shaped structure, which is beneficial to the smooth sliding of rice and is not easy to accumulate and block rice, and the inner wall can be optionally treated to be smooth to reduce friction. The barrel cover can be a buckle type sealing cover structure, which has the functions of preventing insects and preventing moisture.
[0027] The rice control unit (2) mainly comprises a rotary control plate (3), a center shaft (4), a fixed seat (5) and a rice outlet (6). The control plate (3) is a flat disc structure and can be made of food-grade ABS material, and a plurality of rice outlet holes (31) with different sizes, such as 5mm, 8mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm and 20mm, are arranged thereon to meet different flow rate requirements. The rice outlet hole (31) is preferably circular or elliptical, and special profiles (such as strips) can also be arranged according to user needs to adjust the rice flow width.
[0028] The control plate (3) is connected to the bottom of the grain storage barrel (1) through the center shaft (4) and can rotate around the center shaft, and different rice outlet holes (31) can be aligned with the rice outlet (6) during rotation, thereby realizing the switching control of the rice output. The center shaft (4) is made of stainless steel round rod or reinforced nylon material, one end of which is connected to the fixed seat (5), and the other end penetrates the wall of the grain storage barrel (1) and is connected to the knob (7). The knob (7) is external, and the user can rotate the knob (7) according to the needs to drive the control plate (3) to rotate, thereby accurately adjusting the position of the rice outlet hole. The bottom of the control plate (3) is provided with a limiting block matched with a clamping groove structure to realize step positioning and avoid unstable rice output caused by misrotation.
[0029] For example Figure 4As shown, the rice outlet (6) is externally provided with a rice blocking mechanism (8), which is mainly composed of a flip cover plate (81) and an elastic reset member (82). The flip cover plate (81) can be made of stainless steel sheet or wear-resistant plastic plate, and is hingedly connected with the rice outlet (6) through a metal rotating shaft or a hinge structure. The elastic reset member (82) is preferably a spiral torsion spring or a leaf spring, which can automatically close the flip cover plate (81) when the user stops taking rice, effectively preventing insect invasion, moisture and clumping or natural sliding of rice grains. The flip cover structure can also be optionally equipped with magnetic adsorption or a soft rubber sealing ring to improve the closure tightness.
[0030] In order to prevent rice leakage or moisture absorption at the joint between the rice control unit (2) and the grain storage barrel (1), an annular sealing ring (9) is arranged at the joint, which can be made of silicone or nitrile rubber material and is installed in a clamping groove to form a sealed chamber. At the same time, in order to improve convenience, the bottom of the rice outlet (6) is also provided with an external threaded port (11), through which the user can connect a hose to the rice outlet path, enabling the rice to be taken out under the table, in the drawer or in a directional container, which is suitable for complex environments such as kitchens and stores.
[0031] In actual use, the user only needs to confirm the amount of rice in the barrel by observing the visual window (10), rotate the knob (7) to align the desired rice outlet hole (31) with the position of the rice outlet (6), and open the flip cover plate (81) to achieve quantitative rice pouring. When the rice taking is finished, the flip cover plate (81) is automatically closed under the action of the elastic reset member (82) to prevent subsequent rice grains from sliding out.
[0032] In addition, the quantity control plate (3) can also be expanded to a double-layer or pop-up structure, allowing the user to customize the number or shape of the rice outlet holes, improving the expandability and adaptability. This structure can also be replaced with different models of quantity control plates according to different particle requirements (such as green beans, soybeans, sesame, etc.), having good versatility.
[0033] In summary, the rice storage device of the present application has a reasonable design and a simple structure, and realizes the non-electric control and switchable multi-grade rice control function through the rotation of the quantity control plate and the closable rice blocking structure, effectively solving the problems of uncontrollable, messy or one-time pouring of too much rice in traditional rice storage devices, and is particularly suitable for use in family kitchens, canteens, grain stores and food processing occasions.
