Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elevator technology, specifically a rice elevator for rice production and processing. Background Technology

[0002] Rice elevators lift rice from a low position to a high position through continuous hoppers, enabling continuous operation of the production line, greatly improving production efficiency and saving labor costs. Rice elevators can lift rice to different heights according to the layout and process requirements of the production line, adapting to various complex production environments. The enclosed structure can effectively prevent rice from scattering and becoming contaminated during the pipeline process, ensuring the quality of the rice.

[0003] When using existing rice elevators for rice production and processing, their function is to lift rice to different positions. However, when feeding rice, the existing rice elevators cannot position the rice cylinder, so the rice cylinder must be manually lifted and the rice poured into the hopper. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to causing rice to spill out of the hopper. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a rice elevator for rice production and processing, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the existing rice elevator cannot position the rice cylinder during feeding, and the rice can only be poured into the hopper manually by lifting the rice cylinder. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive and easy to cause rice to spill out of the hopper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rice elevator for rice production and processing, comprising:

[0006] The device body includes a support frame, a lifting device connected to the top of the support frame, a motor connected to the bottom of the lifting device, and a feeding hopper connected to one side of the top of the lifting device.

[0007] An adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the feed hopper. The adjustment mechanism includes a concave frame. A hinge plate is hinged to the top of the concave frame. A cover is connected to one side of the hinge plate. A cylindrical frame is provided on the top surface of the cover. A handle is connected to one side of the top surface of the cover.

[0008] Preferably, the feed hopper and the cover are hinged together using a concave frame and a hinge plate, with the cover located on the top surface of the feed hopper.

[0009] Preferably, the top surface of the cap has a positioning hole, which is used to position the rice container.

[0010] Preferably, the frame is made of an elastic material and is used to buffer the rice container and the lid.

[0011] Preferably, the concave frame surface is connected to a limiting structure, the limiting structure includes a fixing frame, the inner surface of the fixing frame is provided with a bearing, the bearing is internally connected to a threaded sleeve, and the threaded sleeve is internally rotatably connected to a fixing screw.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed frame and the threaded sleeve are movably connected by a bearing, and a groove is provided on the bottom surface of the concave frame, and the fixing screw is inserted into the groove of the concave frame.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the fixing screw is connected to one side surface of the feed hopper, and the threaded sleeve and the fixing screw are rotatably connected by threads.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By pulling the handle, the handle drives the cover and hinge plate to adjust the angle. The concave frame limits the hinge plate without affecting the angle change, thus sealing the top of the hopper with the cover. The rice container is then inserted into the positioning hole in the cover. The container frame buffers the cover and the rice container, allowing them to make direct and flexible contact, thus supporting the rice container and lifting it into the hopper. This avoids the need to manually lift the rice container to pour the rice into the hopper, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to rice spilling out of the hopper.

[0016] 2. By fitting the concave frame onto the outer surface of the fixed screw, and then rotating the angle of the threaded sleeve, the bearing is used to ensure that the rotation of the threaded sleeve does not affect the angle of the fixed frame. The fixed frame supports the threaded sleeve, and the thread is used to connect and fix the threaded sleeve and the fixed screw, thereby achieving a rapid assembly effect between the feed hopper and the concave frame.

[0025] A rice elevator for rice production and processing includes:

[0026] The device body 1 includes a support frame 11, a lifter 12 is connected to the top of the support frame 11, a motor 13 is connected to the bottom of the lifter 12, and a feed hopper 14 is connected to one side of the top of the lifter 12. The internal material of the feed hopper 14 is existing technology and can be purchased on the market. It is not considered as a technical protection point of this application, so no further details are made.

[0027] An adjustment mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the feed hopper 14. The adjustment mechanism 2 includes a concave frame 21. A hinge plate 22 is hinged to the top of the concave frame 21. A cover 23 is connected to one side of the hinge plate 22. A cylinder frame 24 is provided on the top surface of the cover 23. A handle 25 is connected to one side of the top surface of the cover 23.

[0028] Furthermore, the feed hopper 14 and the cover 23 are hinged together by the concave frame 21 and the hinge plate 22. The cover 23 is located on the top surface of the feed hopper 14, so that the feed hopper 14 supports the cover 23, thereby positioning the rice container by the cover 23.

[0029] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided on the top surface of the cap 23. The positioning hole provided in the cap 23 is used to position the rice container, so that the rice container can be placed and supported through the positioning hole provided in the cap 23.

[0030] Furthermore, the material of the frame 24 is set to be an elastic structure. The frame 24 is used to buffer the rice container and the cap 23, so that the two can make flexible contact by buffering the rice container and the cap 23 through the frame 24.

[0031] Furthermore, a limiting structure 3 is connected to the surface of the concave frame 21. The limiting structure 3 includes a fixing frame 31. A bearing 32 is provided on the inner surface of the fixing frame 31. A threaded sleeve 33 is connected inside the bearing 32. A fixing screw 34 is rotatably connected inside the threaded sleeve 33, so as to achieve a quick assembly effect between the feed hopper 14 and the concave frame 21. The connection between the threaded sleeve 33 and the fixing screw 34 is used to fix the feed hopper 14 and the concave frame 21.

[0032] Furthermore, the fixed frame 31 and the threaded sleeve 33 are movably connected by the bearing 32. The bottom surface of the concave frame 21 is provided with a groove, and the fixing screw 34 is inserted into the groove of the concave frame 21. The fixing screw 34 is positioned by the groove of the concave frame 21, thereby supporting the bottom of the concave frame 21.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the fixing screw 34 is connected to one side surface of the feed hopper 14, and the threaded sleeve 33 and the fixing screw 34 are rotatably connected by threads, so as to achieve the connection and fixation between the threaded sleeve 33 and the fixing screw 34 by threads.

[0034] Working principle: When adjusting the rice elevator for rice production and processing, pulling the handle 25 causes the handle 25 to drive the cover 23 and the hinge plate 22 to adjust the angle. The concave frame 21 limits the hinge plate 22 without affecting the angle change of the hinge plate 22, thereby sealing the top of the feed hopper 14 with the cover 23. The rice cylinder is then inserted into the positioning hole of the cover 23. The cylinder frame 24 buffers the cover 23 and the rice cylinder, allowing them to make direct and flexible contact, thereby supporting the rice cylinder and allowing the rice in the rice cylinder to be poured into the feed hopper 14 for lifting.

[0035] When assembling the rice elevator for rice production and processing, the concave frame 21 is sleeved onto the outer surface of the fixed screw 34, and then the angle of the threaded sleeve 33 is rotated. The bearing 32 is used to ensure that the rotation of the threaded sleeve 33 does not affect the angle of the fixed frame 31. The fixed frame 31 supports the threaded sleeve 33, and the thread is used to connect and fix the threaded sleeve 33 and the fixed screw 34, thereby achieving a rapid assembly effect between the feed hopper 14 and the concave frame 21.
