[0030] Designing a rice lifting device with screening function for rice production and processing is currently the primary technical problem that technicians need to solve.

[0031] The technical solution of the present invention (Embodiment 1) is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 8 The rice lifting device for rice production and processing specifically includes:

[0033] The main body shell 1 has a support base 2 fixedly installed at one bottom end, and a support frame 3 fixedly installed on the lower surface of the main body shell 1 to support the main body shell 1 in conjunction with the support base 2. It also includes: a drive device 4 fixedly installed on the side of the main body shell 1 away from the support base 2; a transmission belt 5 rotatably connected inside the main body shell 1; the output end of the drive device 4 passing through the side wall of the main body shell 1 and fixedly connected to one end of the transmission belt 5; several feeding hoppers 6 fixedly installed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the transmission belt 5; and a feeding hopper 7 fixedly installed at the end of the main body shell 1 near the support base 2; and a collection mechanism 8 installed inside the support base 2 to collect rice that has fallen to the bottom of the main body shell 1; and a discharge mechanism 9 installed at the end of the main body shell 1 away from the collection mechanism 8 to restrict the discharge of the lifted rice.

[0034] Specifically, the collection mechanism 8 includes a collection hopper 17 slidably connected inside the support base 2. Fixing frames 18 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the support base 2. A latch 19 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing frame 18, and one end of the latch 19 is engaged with the end of the collection hopper 17. A plug connector 20 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the end of the collection hopper 17 away from the latch 19. A plug seat 21 that engages with the plug connector 20 is symmetrically fixedly installed inside the support base 2. A blocking structure is provided at the top of the collection hopper 17.

[0035] Specifically, the collecting hopper 17 is provided with symmetrical limiting strips on both sides, and the supporting base 2 is provided with symmetrical sliding grooves inside that slide and cooperate with the limiting strips on both sides of the collecting hopper 17.

[0036] Specifically, the blocking structure includes a mounting bracket 10 fixedly installed inside the support base 2. A baffle 11 is slidably connected inside the mounting bracket 10. A handle 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the baffle 11. A limiting rod 13 is symmetrically fixedly installed at one end of the baffle 11 near the handle 12. A mating seat 14 is symmetrically fixedly installed on one side of the support base 2, and the limiting rod 13 and the mating seat 14 are engaged.

[0037] Specifically, one end of the mounting bracket 10 is symmetrically fixedly equipped with a limiting seat 16 that engages with the baffle 11, and the two sides of the baffle 11 are symmetrically provided with slots 15 that engage with the limiting seat 16.

[0038] Specifically, the discharge mechanism 9 includes a discharge hopper 22 fixedly installed at the end of the main body shell 1 away from the support base 2, and a rotating plate 23 is rotatably connected to the end of the discharge hopper 22 near the main body shell 1 via a torsion spring.

[0039] In this embodiment, how to quickly collect the fallen rice is described in reference to... Figures 1 to 7The specific implementation method is as follows: When rice needs to be lifted, the operator first quantitatively feeds the rice to be lifted from the feed hopper 7 into the feeding hopper 6. Then, the drive device 4 is started, driving the transmission belt 5 to run, which in turn drives the feeding hopper 6 to rise along the set path. After the feeding hopper 6 reaches the designated position, the rice inside is discharged from the device by the discharge mechanism 9, completing the lifting process. However, during this lifting process, a small amount of rice will inevitably spill out. This spilled rice will gradually accumulate in the bottom area of ​​the main body shell 1. If it accumulates for a long time, the accumulated rice may interfere with the normal operation of the transmission belt 5 or hinder the movement of the feeding hopper 6, thereby increasing the risk of device failure and affecting operational stability. Therefore, at the bottom of the support base 2... The end is equipped with a collection mechanism 8, which can collect fallen rice in a concentrated manner. After a certain amount is collected, the collection mechanism 8 is cleaned to ensure that the device can operate stably for a long time. After the collection hopper 17 has collected a certain amount, the staff removes the collection hopper 17 from the inside of the support base 2. After the rice inside the collection hopper 17 is cleaned, the collection hopper 17 is reinstalled inside the support base 2. In order to increase the fit of the collection hopper 17 during installation, the end of the collection hopper 17 is equipped with a plug 20 and a plug seat 21, which can increase the stability of the collection hopper 17 during installation. Then, the collection hopper 17 is restricted by the lock 19 to further increase the stability of the collection hopper 17.

[0040] In this embodiment, how to prevent rice from continuously falling into the collection hopper 17 when it is being removed is referred to [reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The specific implementation method is as follows: When the collection hopper 17 needs to be removed for cleaning, the operator pushes the baffle 11 smoothly into the working position using the handle 12. At this time, the limiting rod 13 at the end of the baffle 11 will precisely engage with the mating seat 14 on one side of the support base 2. The interlocking of the limiting rod 13 and the mating seat 14 not only indicates that the baffle 11 has been correctly positioned and locked, but also instantly forms an effective physical isolation barrier at the top opening of the support base 2, thereby reliably blocking the downward falling path of the scattered rice during the operation of the device. This allows the device to be cleaned without stopping the machine, further increasing the smoothness and stability of the device during operation and maximizing continuous production efficiency. When the baffle 11 is not in use, it can be restricted by the limiting seat 16 and the slot 15.

[0041] In this embodiment, reference Figure 8The specific implementation method is as follows: when the feeding hopper 6 runs with the transmission belt 5 to the top of the main body shell 1, it performs a preset flipping action; during this flipping process, the rice carried inside is poured into the discharge hopper 22 below, and finally smoothly discharged through the discharge hopper 22. In order to optimize the discharge efficiency, the inner wall of the discharge hopper 22 is designed with a 15° inclination angle, which effectively accelerates the material sliding by utilizing the natural guiding effect of gravity. In order to further improve the smoothness of rice entering the discharge hopper 22 and prevent spillage, the discharge hopper 22 is close to the feeding hopper 6. The rotating plate 23, which is rotatably connected to the material end, automatically forms a guide barrier when the feeding hopper 6 unloads rice, constraining the falling trajectory of the material. When the feeding hopper 6 finishes unloading and returns along the path, the feeding hopper 6 will lightly touch and squeeze the rotating plate 23 during the movement, driving the feeding hopper 6 to rotate around the axis to avoid the passage space, completely eliminating potential interference to the movement path of the feeding hopper 6. After the feeding hopper 6 has completely passed, the rotating plate 23 immediately returns to its initial blocking posture under the elastic restoring force of the built-in torsion spring, preparing for the next unloading operation.
