Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice humidification technology, and more specifically to a rice humidification device. Background Technology

[0002] Rice, also known as paddy rice, is a food made from paddy through cleaning, hulling, milling, and finishing processes. Rice contains approximately 75% carbohydrates, 7%-8% protein, and 1.3%-1.8% fat, and is rich in B vitamins. The carbohydrates in rice are primarily starch, and the protein is mainly rice gluten, followed by rice gum protein and globulin. The biological value and amino acid composition of rice protein are higher than those of cereal crops such as wheat, barley, millet, and corn. Humidification is a crucial step in rice processing. During hulling and dehulling, rice grains may break due to dryness. Appropriate humidification helps maintain the integrity of the grains and reduces the breakage rate. Furthermore, humidified rice grains are easier to process in subsequent milling and polishing processes, improving processing efficiency and quality.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology are: during the humidification process of rice, rice tends to stick to the inner wall of the humidification cylinder, making it difficult to clean. In addition, when humidifying rice, a simple sprayer is usually used to penetrate and humidify the rice, and moisture tends to accumulate at the bottom of the cylinder, causing the rice at the bottom to soak for a long time and become soft, which affects the quality of the rice.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a rice humidification device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a rice humidification device to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a rice humidification device, including a humidification cylinder, four support legs evenly and fixedly connected to the bottom end of the humidification cylinder, a feed pipe fixedly connected to the top end of the humidification cylinder near the left side, a protective shell fixedly connected to the top center of the humidification cylinder, a water tank fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the humidification cylinder, a water pump fixedly connected to the top end of the water tank near the left side, a water pipe fixedly connected to the top end of the water pump, and a sprayer fixedly connected to the top end of the water pipe through the humidification cylinder;

[0007] The rice humidifier also includes:

[0008] A stirring assembly is disposed inside the humidification cylinder and the protective shell, and is used to thoroughly stir the rice inside the humidification cylinder;

[0009] A water level monitoring component is installed at the top center of the water tank to monitor the water level in the tank and issue an alarm.

[0010] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes:

[0011] A secondary bevel gear, the middle of which is movably connected to a limiting post via a bearing, the top of which is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the protective shell, a rotating rod fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the secondary bevel gear, and four scrapers fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod inside the humidifying cylinder, with stirring rods fixedly connected to the inner walls of the four scrapers.

[0012] A drive mechanism, located inside the protective housing, is used to drive the secondary bevel gear and the rotating rod to rotate.

[0013] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a stirring motor, one end of which is connected to a transmission rod. A limiting plate is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod. The top and bottom ends of the limiting plate are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell. A main bevel gear is fixedly connected to the left end of the transmission rod through the limiting plate. The outer wall of the main bevel gear meshes with the outer wall of the secondary bevel gear.

[0014] Preferably, the water level monitoring component includes a housing, with two fixed metal plates fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing, and a guide post movably sleeved between the two fixed metal plates on the inner wall of the housing. The bottom end of the guide post passes through the water tank and is fixedly connected to a float plate, and the top end of the float plate is fixedly connected to a lifting metal plate, with a flexible insulated wire fixedly connected to the top end of the lifting metal plate.

[0015] Preferably, a power controller is fixedly connected to the top of the housing, the bottom of the power controller is electrically connected to the top of a flexible insulated wire, and an alarm is fixedly connected to the top of the power controller.

[0016] Preferably, a filter plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the humidifier cylinder near the bottom, and a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the humidifier cylinder, with a liquid magnetic valve provided near the middle of the water outlet pipe.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. This utility model, by incorporating a stirring assembly, allows the water pump to draw humidifying water from the tank through a water pipe to the sprayer to spray the rice in the humidifying cylinder. Under the protection of the protective shell, the stirring motor is activated, driving the transmission rod to rotate in the middle of the limiting plate, which in turn drives the main bevel gear to rotate. Under the action of meshing with the secondary bevel gear, the rotating rod at the bottom of the secondary bevel gear rotates under the movable limit of the limiting column, thereby driving the scraper and stirring rod to rotate. This facilitates the scraper rotation to clean the rice adhering to the inner wall of the humidifying cylinder, and the stirring rod rotation to stir the rice in the humidifying cylinder to make it evenly humidified. Under the action of the filter plate, excess water is filtered to the bottom of the humidifying cylinder, and the liquid magnetic valve is opened to discharge the humidifying water through the liquid magnetic valve.

[0019] 2. This utility model incorporates a water level monitoring component. When monitoring the water level in the water tank, the float moves downwards as the water level in the tank drops, supported by the shell. This causes the guide column to move downwards within the shell. When the float moves to near the bottom of the water tank, the bottom of the lifting metal plate contacts the top of the fixed metal plate. Power is then connected via a soft insulated wire, and the alarm is activated by the power controller. This facilitates timely reminders to staff to add water to the tank, ensuring efficient humidification of the rice in the humidifier. Attached Figure Description

Specific Implementation Example 2

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 Based on the first specific embodiment, it also includes a water level monitoring component 5. The water level monitoring component 5 is located at the top center of the water tank 7 and is used to monitor the water level in the water tank 7 and issue an alarm. The water level monitoring component 5 includes a housing 503. Two fixed metal plates 502 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the interior of the housing 503. A guide post 504 is movably sleeved between the two fixed metal plates 502 on the inner wall of the housing 503.
