Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of rice soaking pot technology, and more specifically, to a rice soaking pot for processing rice cakes. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cake is a steamed cake made from sticky rice or rice flour. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also nutritious, making it a favorite food for many people. When making rice cake, the rice needs to be soaked first. After soaking, the rice absorbs a lot of water, causing the grains to expand fully, which makes it easier to cook the rice thoroughly when steaming.

[0003] Some existing rice soaking tanks typically involve filling the tank with water before adding the rice. However, before washing, the rice contains impurities such as husks or straw fragments, making it difficult for the soaking tank to properly rinse the rice. Furthermore, when releasing the rice after soaking, some impurities may be discharged along with it. To maintain the texture of the rice during subsequent processing, it is necessary to further clean the impurities adhering to the rice, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a rice soaking tank for rice cake processing, which solves the technical problem that the rice soaking tank in the prior art is difficult to wash and remove impurities from rice, resulting in impurities flowing out with the rice after soaking.

[0005] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a rice soaking tank for processing rice cakes, including a rice soaking tank fixedly mounted on a support frame, and further including an air pump, an air supply pipe, a lifting assembly, a dirt suction assembly, and an overflow pipe. Air pumps are installed at both ends of the support frame, and the air supply pipe is connected between the air pumps and the rice soaking tank. Two lifting assemblies are provided, each located on one side of the support frame. Two dirt suction assemblies are provided, each located on one of the two lifting assemblies, for adsorbing impurities generated from washed rice. The lifting assemblies are used to drive the dirt suction assemblies to move up and down. Two overflow pipes are provided, each located on one of the two dirt suction assemblies.

[0006] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a mounting plate, electric cylinders, and a lifting frame. The mounting plate is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame, and two electric cylinders are mounted on the mounting plate. The lifting frame is fixedly installed on the output ends of the two electric cylinders, and the overflow pipe is fixedly installed on the lifting frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the impurity suction assembly includes a water pump, a water suction pipe, a water outlet pipe, a material suction pipe, and a rotating assembly. The water pump is mounted on the side of the lifting frame via a placement plate. The water suction pipe is connected between the water inlet of the water pump and the overflow pipe. The water outlet pipe is connected to the water outlet of the water pump. The material suction pipe is rotatably mounted through the top of the overflow pipe. There are two rotating assemblies, both of which are mounted on the support frame.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a motor, a drive gear, and a driven gear ring. The motor is mounted on the top of the support frame via a connecting bracket. The drive gear is coaxially connected to the output end of the motor. The driven gear ring is fixedly mounted on the suction pipe, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the connecting frame is detachably mounted on the support frame by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, a protective cover is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting frame, and both the driving gear and the driven gear ring are located inside the protective cover.

[0011] Furthermore, collection boxes are fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame, and the two collection boxes are respectively located directly below the two water outlet pipes.

[0012] Furthermore, the suction pipe is rotatably connected to the overflow pipe via a rotary joint.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the collection box is at the same horizontal level as the bottom of the support frame.

[0014] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the rice soaking tank, and a solenoid valve is connected to the discharge pipe.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this disclosure, after rice is put into the rice soaking tank, air is introduced into the rice soaking tank through an air supply pipe by an air pump, so that the rice soaking tank is filled with air bubbles, causing the rice to move, thereby removing impurities from the rice, and the impurities float on the surface of the water source, thus separating the impurities from the rice.

[0017] 2. In this disclosure, after the rice is washed, the lifting component and the suction component can absorb the impurities and water, leaving only the washed rice in the rice soaking tank, thus achieving better rice impurity removal.

[0018] In summary, this rice soaking tank, through the cooperation of an air pump, air supply pipe, lifting assembly, impurity suction assembly, and overflow pipe, can soak and clean the rice inside the tank, separating impurities from the rice and then adsorbing the impurities.

[0030] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a rice soaking tank for processing rice cakes according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The rice soaking tank 1 is fixedly installed on a support frame 2. The tank also includes an air pump 3, an air supply pipe 4, a lifting assembly, a suction assembly, and an overflow pipe 5. An air pump 3 is installed at both ends of the support frame 2. The air supply pipe 4 is connected between the air pump 3 and the rice soaking tank 1. Two lifting assemblies are provided, which are respectively located on both sides of the support frame 2. Two suction assemblies are provided, which are respectively located on the two lifting assemblies. They are used to absorb impurities generated by the washed rice. The lifting assemblies are used to drive the suction assemblies to move up and down. Two overflow pipes 5 are provided, which are respectively located on the two suction assemblies.

[0032] When washing and soaking rice, first add the rice to the soaking tank 1, then add water to soak it. Start the air pump 3, and introduce air into the soaking tank 1 through the air pipe 4, giving the rice an air bath. This cleans the impurities adhering to the rice, separating them from the rice. Because the density of rice is greater than water, it falls to the bottom of the soaking tank 1 after soaking. The impurities, mostly rice husks or straw fragments, float to the surface of the water. Then, the impurity suction component adsorbs the water and impurities. Figure 2 As shown, the impurity suction assembly includes a water pump 9, a water suction pipe 10, a water outlet pipe 11, a material suction pipe 12, and a rotating assembly. The water pump 9 is mounted on the side of the lifting frame 8 via a placement plate. The water suction pipe 10 is connected between the water inlet of the water pump 9 and the overflow pipe 5. The water outlet pipe 11 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 9. The material suction pipe 12 is rotatably mounted through the top of the overflow pipe 5. There are two rotating assemblies, both of which are mounted on the support frame 2. The rotating assembly includes a motor 13, a drive gear 14, and a driven gear ring 15. The motor 13 is mounted on the top of the support frame 2 via a connecting frame 20, and the connecting frame 20 is detachably mounted on the support frame 2 via bolts. The drive gear 14 is coaxially connected to the output end of the motor 13. The driven gear ring 15 is fixedly mounted on the material suction pipe 12, and the drive gear 14 meshes with the driven gear ring 15.

[0033] Specifically, the water pump 9 is started. The water pump 9 draws impurities and wastewater from the rice soaking tank 1 into the outlet pipe 11 via the suction pipe 10, overflow pipe 5, and suction pipe 12. Figure 4 As shown, because collection boxes 17 are fixedly installed on both sides of the support frame 2, and the two collection boxes 17 are located directly below the two water outlet pipes 11 respectively, and the bottom of the collection box 17 is at the same horizontal position as the bottom of the support frame 2, wastewater and impurities flow into the collection box 17 through the water outlet pipe 11, and can start the motor 13. The output end of the motor 13 drives the drive gear 14 to rotate, and the drive gear 14 drives the driven gear ring 15 meshing with it to rotate. Because the suction pipe 12 is rotatably installed through the overflow pipe 5 via the rotary joint, the suction pipe 12 is driven to rotate on the overflow pipe 5, thereby adsorbing impurities in different positions in the rice soaking tank 1, increasing the adsorption range. A protective cover 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting frame 20, and the drive gear 14 and the driven gear ring 15 are both located inside the protective cover 16. When rice is added, the protective cover 16 can protect the drive gear 14 and the driven gear ring 15 to prevent impurities from flying in.

[0034] Since most impurities float on the water surface, the lifting assembly can move the suction pipe 12 to the surface of the water source to adsorb the impurities. Figure 2As shown, the lifting assembly includes a mounting plate 6, an electric cylinder 7, and a lifting frame 8. The mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame 2. Two electric cylinders 7 are mounted on the mounting plate 6. The lifting frame 8 is fixedly installed on the output ends of the two electric cylinders 7, and the overflow pipe 5 is fixedly installed on the lifting frame 8.

[0035] Specifically, the electric cylinder 7 is activated, and the output end of the electric cylinder 7 drives the lifting frame 8 to move up and down, thereby driving the suction pipe 12 to adsorb on the surface of the rice soaking tank 1. As the water level drops, the suction pipe 12 can still move down. After the impurities and wastewater are adsorbed, the bottom end of the rice soaking tank 1 is connected to the discharge pipe 18, and the discharge pipe 18 is connected to the solenoid valve 19. Opening the solenoid valve 19 allows the rice to flow out.

[0036] Working principle: When soaking rice, rice and water are added to the rice soaking tank 1. Then, the air pump 3 is started, and air is introduced into the rice soaking tank 1 through the air supply pipe 4 to give the rice an air bath, thereby cleaning the impurities adhering to the rice. After cleaning, the water suction pump 9 is started. The water suction pump 9 uses the water suction pipe 10, overflow pipe 5 and material suction pipe 12 to absorb the impurities and wastewater in the rice soaking tank 1 into the water outlet pipe 11. Then, the wastewater and impurities flow into the collection box 17 through the water outlet pipe 11. During the absorption process, the motor 13 is started. The output of the motor 13 drives the drive gear 14. The drive gear 14 rotates, causing the driven gear ring 15 to rotate. Since the suction pipe 12 is installed through the rotary joint and the overflow pipe 5, the suction pipe 12 rotates on the overflow pipe 5, thereby adsorbing impurities at different positions in the rice soaking tank 1. The electric cylinder 7 is activated to move the suction pipe 12 to the water surface, thereby adsorbing impurities on the water surface. After most of the impurities and wastewater have been adsorbed, the solenoid valve 19 is activated, allowing the rice to flow out through the discharge pipe 18. The rice flowing out at this time is cleaner than rice that has been simply soaked.

[0037] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
