Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice soaking bucket technology, and in particular to a rice soaking bucket with a screening mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice, is the hulled kernel of rice (Oryza sativa), a plant of the Poaceae family. It can be divided into two types, red and white, according to the color of the husk and the color of the rice. It is also divided into hairy and hairless varieties. It is cultivated throughout China. Glutinous rice is milky white and opaque, but some varieties are semi-transparent. It is very sticky. In the food processing industry, glutinous rice is a common raw material, and soaking the rice is an important pre-processing step before processing.

[0003] Traditional rice soaking methods typically use ordinary containers, but these containers lack a sieving function and cannot separate glutinous rice of different sizes, which is detrimental to the even heating and maturation of the glutinous rice during subsequent processing. In addition, while some existing soaking buckets with sieving capabilities can achieve the rice sieving process, it is difficult to remove all the soaked rice, often leaving residue in the soaking bucket. In view of this, this application proposes a rice soaking bucket with a sieving mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a rice soaking bucket with a screening mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A rice soaking bucket with a screening mechanism includes a soaking bucket. An inlet pipe and a drain pipe are fixedly connected to the outside of the soaking bucket. Multiple sieve cylinders are slidably connected inside the soaking bucket, and the sieve cylinders are rotatably connected to a rotating rod. Multiple stirring blades are installed on the outside of the rotating rod. A partition is fixedly installed inside the soaking bucket, and a rotating seat is rotatably connected to the top surface of the partition. Multiple limiting posts are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating seat, and multiple limiting holes are opened on the top surface of the fixing plate. Each limiting post is inserted into a corresponding limiting hole. A rotating mechanism is provided on the bottom wall of the soaking bucket, and the rotating mechanism drives the rotating seat to rotate. A top cover is threadedly connected to the top surface of the soaking bucket. A connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the top cover, and the connecting shaft is engaged on the top surface of the rotating rod. A liquid extraction plate is symmetrically fixed and connected to the outside of the connecting shaft. A rotary joint is installed at the top end of the connecting shaft, and a connecting pipe is connected to the rotary joint.

[0007] Preferably, each of the sieve cylinders includes a filter plate, and each filter plate is slidably connected inside the soaking tank. An annular baffle is fixedly installed on the top surface of each filter plate. A movable baffle is inserted into the outer side of each annular baffle. A through groove is opened on the top surface of each movable baffle. A pin is slidably connected in each through groove. A limit spring is installed between the bottom wall of each through groove and the outer side of the pin. A limit groove is opened on the top surface of each filter plate, and the bottom end of each pin is inserted into the corresponding limit groove.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the soaking tank. A drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor. The bottom end of the rotating seat passes through the partition and is equipped with a driven gear, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the soaking tank is provided with multiple positioning grooves, and multiple positioning blocks are installed on the outer side of each filter plate, and each positioning block is slidably connected in the positioning groove corresponding to its position.

[0010] Preferably, each of the filter plates has an annular groove, and multiple fixing rings are fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod, with each fixing ring being movably connected in the annular groove corresponding to its position.

[0011] Preferably, a square block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting shaft, and a square groove is opened at the top of the rotating rod, with the square block inserted into the square groove.

[0012] Preferably, each of the annular baffles has slots at both ends, and each of the movable baffles has a plug fixedly installed at both ends, with each plug inserted into a corresponding slot.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses devices such as sieve cylinders, rotating rods, and drive mechanisms to enable multiple sieve cylinders and rotating rods to slide into the soaking tank. The drive mechanism starts the rotating rods to rotate, and then multiple stirring blades installed on the outside of the rotating rods assist in the screening of rice, which facilitates subsequent processing and ensures that the rice is fully in contact with water and is soaked evenly.

[0015] 2. This utility model, through devices such as pins, limiting grooves, movable baffles, slots, and annular baffles, enables each sieve cylinder to be dislodged from the limiting groove by sliding pins, thereby allowing the movable baffle to be pulled out from the annular baffle. This is equivalent to each sieve cylinder having an openable opening, which facilitates the removal of the sieve cylinder from the soaking tank and the extraction of the rice inside. Furthermore, since the sieve cylinder can be completely open to the outside, the rice can be fully extracted, avoiding residue.

[0016] 3. This utility model realizes the rotation of the rotating rod through the connecting shaft, the liquid extraction plate and other devices, which can drive the connecting shaft to rotate synchronously. As the rice is soaked, the impurities float on the horizontal surface. At this time, the floating impurities can be removed by connecting the external water pumping equipment to the connecting pipe and then by the liquid extraction plate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1-5 As shown, a rice soaking bucket with a screening mechanism includes a soaking bucket 1. The outside of the soaking bucket 1 is fixed and connected to a water inlet pipe 2 and a water outlet pipe 3. The water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3 should be connected to an external water source device.

[0025] Multiple sieve cylinders 13 are slidably connected inside the soaking tank 1. The multiple sieve cylinders 13 are rotatably connected to a rotating rod 15. Multiple stirring blades 16 are installed on the outside of the rotating rod 15. A partition plate 7 is fixedly installed inside the soaking tank 1. A rotating seat 8 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the partition plate 7. Multiple limiting posts 19 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 15. A fixing plate 20 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating seat 8. Multiple limiting holes 21 are opened on the top surface of the fixing plate 20, and each limiting post 19 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 21. A rotating mechanism is provided on the bottom wall of the soaking tank 1, and the rotating mechanism drives the rotating seat 8 to rotate.

[0026] The rotating mechanism drives the rotating seat 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the limiting column 19 to rotate through the limiting hole 21. This allows the rotating rod 15 to drive the stirring blade 16 to rotate, facilitating the screening of rice.

[0027] The top surface of the soaking tank 1 is threaded with a top cover 4, and the bottom surface of the top cover 4 is rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 17. The connecting shaft 17 is locked on the top surface of the rotating rod 15. The outer side of the connecting shaft 17 is symmetrically fixed and connected to a liquid extraction plate 18. A rotary joint 5 is installed at the top of the connecting shaft 17, and a connecting pipe 6 is connected to the rotary joint 5. The rotating rod 15 can drive the connecting shaft 17 to rotate, and it is connected to the connecting pipe 6 through an external water pumping device, so that the impurities floating on the water surface can be extracted from the soaking tank 1 through the liquid extraction plate 18.

[0028] Furthermore, each sieve cylinder 13 includes a filter plate 26, and each filter plate 26 is slidably connected to the soaking tank 1. An annular baffle 25 is fixedly installed on the top surface of each filter plate 26. A movable baffle 29 is inserted into the outer side of each annular baffle 25. A through groove is opened on the top surface of each movable baffle 29. A pin 32 is slidably connected in each through groove. A limit spring 33 is installed between the bottom wall of each through groove and the outer side of the pin 32. A limit groove 30 is opened on the top surface of each filter plate 26, and the bottom end of each pin 32 is inserted into the corresponding limit groove 30. The movable baffle 29 inserted into the outer side of the annular baffle 25 can flexibly control the opening state of the sieve cylinder 13 by cooperating with the limit groove 30 on the top surface of the filter plate 26 through the pin 32 and the limit spring 33 in the through groove, thereby facilitating the removal of the soaked rice in the sieve cylinder 13.

[0029] Furthermore, the rotating mechanism includes a drive motor 10, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the soaking tank 1. A drive gear 9 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 10. The bottom end of the rotating seat 8 passes through the partition 7 and is equipped with a driven gear 11, and the drive gear 9 meshes with the driven gear 11.

[0030] Furthermore, multiple positioning grooves 12 are provided on the inner wall of the soaking tank 1, and multiple positioning blocks 14 are installed on the outer side of each filter plate 26. Each positioning block 14 is slidably connected in the corresponding positioning groove 12 to prevent the filter plate 26 from rotating.

[0031] Furthermore, each filter plate 26 has an annular groove 27, and multiple fixing rings 24 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 15. Each fixing ring 24 is movably connected in the corresponding annular groove 27 to ensure that the multiple filter plates 26 maintain a certain distance. The top surface of the annular baffle 25 at the top should be equipped with a handle to facilitate the removal of the multiple screen cylinders 13.

[0032] Furthermore, a square block 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connecting shaft 17, and a square groove 22 is opened at the top of the rotating rod 15, and the square block 23 is inserted into the square groove 22. The connecting shaft 17 can be rotated by rotating the rotating rod 15.

[0033] Furthermore, each annular baffle 25 has slots 28 at both ends, and each movable baffle 29 has a plug 31 fixedly installed at both ends, with each plug 31 inserted into the corresponding slot 28.

[0034] This utility model provides a rice soaking bucket with a screening mechanism. The specific working principle is as follows: First, the operator can insert multiple sieve cylinders 13 into the soaking bucket 1 through the cooperation of the positioning groove 12 and the positioning block 14. At this time, multiple limiting posts 19 installed on the bottom surface of the rotating rod 15 are inserted into multiple limiting holes 21 on the top surface of the fixing plate 20. Then, rice is poured onto the sieve cylinders 13 at the top. After that, the connecting shaft 17 rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the top cover 4 is inserted into the top of the rotating rod 15, and the top cover 4 is fixed to the top surface of the soaking bucket 1 by threads, thus completing the sealing of the soaking bucket 1.

[0035] Afterwards, water can be injected into the soaking tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. After the water is injected, the drive motor 10 is started to drive the drive gear 9 to rotate. The drive gear 9 and the driven gear 11 mesh to drive the rotating seat 8 to rotate. The limit pin 19 and the limit hole 21 limit the rotation of the rotating rod 15, thereby driving multiple stirring blades 16 to stir on the bottom wall of the screen cylinder 13, which facilitates the rapid screening of rice. It should be noted that the filter hole diameter of the bottom wall of the multiple screen cylinders 13 decreases in sequence, and the hole diameter of the bottom screen cylinder 13 only supports the passage of water.

[0036] At the same time, the rotation of the rotating rod 15 can drive the connecting rotating shaft 17 to rotate synchronously. As the rice is soaked, the impurities float on the horizontal surface. At this time, the external water pumping equipment can be connected to the connecting pipe 6, so that the floating impurities can be removed through the liquid extraction plate 18.

[0037] After soaking, the water can be drained through the drain pipe 3 and the top cover 4 can be opened. Then, multiple sieve cylinders 13 can be taken out at the same time. As needed, the pin 32 can be pulled upward to make the pin 32 disengage from the limiting groove 30, and the two ends of the movable baffle 29 can be pulled out from the slot 28 to open the movable baffle 29, making it easy to take out the rice on the top surface of each filter plate 26.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
