Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice processing technology, and in particular to a rice elevator. Background Technology
[0002] A hoist is a large mechanical device that transports goods by changing their potential energy. In a broad sense, elevators, overhead cranes, winches, trolleys, hoists, gate hoists, etc. can all be called hoists. Rice is a finished product made from paddy through processes such as cleaning, hulling, milling, and finishing. The transfer of rice is carried out by hoists.
[0003] Chinese patent, a rice elevator, publication number: CN222203781U, describes a mechanism where the top of a motor rotates to drive a transmission belt, which in turn drives a rotating shaft on top of a fixed base. This rotating shaft, in turn, drives a feeding shaft located inside the feed inlet. The rotating feeding shaft displaces the rice inside the feed inlet, preventing blockages and facilitating feeding, thus increasing the device's processing efficiency. Five discharge gates are positioned at different heights within the rice lifting chamber. A slider slides along the outer wall of a guide rail, and a positioning key is inserted. Entering the positioning hole and opening the discharge gate, the rice is discharged through the discharge gate, discharge ramp, and discharge outlet. The height of the discharge ramp is adjustable, allowing for different discharge heights to be adjusted according to actual needs, increasing the practicality of the device. However, the discharge outlet of the elevator is relatively high, making manual adjustment of the discharge gate difficult. Moreover, the rice grains have a smooth surface but are prone to accumulation. During vertical lifting, gravity creates an "arch bridge effect" (grains get stuck together). Unremoved broken rice, rice husks, or dust mixed together increase frictional resistance and hinder discharge. Therefore, a rice elevator is proposed to solve the above problems.
