[0002] With the development of society, rice noodles, as a traditional specialty food, are loved by the public for their unique taste and variety of cooking methods. Fermentation is one of the key processes in the production of rice noodles. Fermentation can improve the flavor, elasticity and nutritional value of rice noodles, making them more suitable for subsequent processing and consumption.
[0003] However, fermented rice noodles are soft and fragile. During the draining process, conventional draining devices (such as gravity screens or centrifugal dehydrators) can easily cause rice noodles to break due to mechanical compression or violent vibration, affecting the quality of the finished product, resulting in poor production continuity, and seriously restricting the automation and large-scale production of rice noodles. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic draining device for fermented rice noodles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic draining device for fermented rice noodles, comprising a support frame one and a support frame two, the support frame two being at the front end of the support frame one, the support frame one being equipped with a conveying mechanism and a vibration mechanism, the vibration mechanism being located on the side wall of the conveying mechanism, a drive assembly being installed between the conveying mechanism and the vibration mechanism, and a discharge box being fixedly installed on the top of the support frame two.
[0006] The conveying mechanism includes a drive shaft, a multifaceted column, a drive cylinder, a multifaceted hole, a conveyor belt, a connecting plate, and a connecting ring. Two drive shafts are movably installed inside the support frame. The multifaceted column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft. The drive cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the multifaceted column. The drive cylinder has multifaceted holes inside. The outer walls of the two drive cylinders are fitted with a conveyor belt. Connecting plates are movably installed on both sides of the conveyor belt. Connecting rings are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting plate. The connecting rings are movably installed on the side wall of the drive cylinder on the same side.
[0007] The vibration mechanism includes a rotating shaft, a protrusion, a support rod, a push plate, and a spring. Two rotating shafts are movably installed on the left side of the support frame one. The outer wall of the protrusion is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The protrusion is in contact with the outer wall of the left connecting plate. Two support rods are movably installed on the right side of the support frame one. A push plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod. The spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod and is located between the support rod and the support frame one. The outer wall of the push plate is in contact with the outer wall of the right connecting plate.
[0008] Further: The drive assembly includes a drive motor, a single-groove belt groove one, a transmission rod, a double-groove belt groove, a single-groove belt groove two, and a drive belt. The drive motor is fixedly installed on the right side of the support frame one. One end of the front drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. The single-groove belt groove one is formed on the outer wall of the front drive shaft. Two transmission rods are movably installed inside the support frame one. The outer wall of the front transmission rod has a double-groove belt groove, and the outer wall of the rear transmission rod has a single-groove belt groove two. Drive belts are fitted between the single-groove belt groove one and the double-groove belt groove, and between the double-groove belt groove and the single-groove belt groove two.
[0009] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod, and the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft.

The multi-faceted column drives the conveyor belt to transport rice noodles upward through the drive cylinder and connecting ring. Hanging pins and baffles ensure that the rice noodles are stably attached to the conveyor belt and prevent slippage. When the drive shaft rotates, the single-groove belt groove one drives the double-groove belt groove of the front conveyor rod to rotate through the drive belt. The double-groove belt groove then drives the single-groove belt groove two of the rear conveyor rod through another drive belt, realizing the synchronous rotation of the two conveyor rods. The conveyor rod drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear one and bevel gear two. The protrusion periodically hits the left connecting plate, and the right push plate pushes the connecting plate synchronously under the action of the spring, so that the conveyor belt generates low-frequency reciprocating vibration, realizing the function of conveying and draining simultaneously. The advantage is that it avoids the accumulation and compression of rice noodles, and drains water through gentle vibration, reducing the breakage rate. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Reference Figure 1-7This utility model provides an automatic draining device for fermented rice noodles: it includes a support frame 1 and a support frame 2. The support frame 2 is located at the front end of the support frame 1. Inside the support frame 1, a conveying mechanism 3 is installed to transport the rice noodles, and a vibration mechanism 4 provides the vibration required for draining. The vibration mechanism 4 is located on the side wall of the conveying mechanism 3. A drive assembly 5 is installed between the conveying mechanism 3 and the vibration mechanism 4 to achieve power synchronization. A discharge box 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 2 to store the rice noodles to be drained. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a drive shaft 301, a multi-faceted column 302, a drive cylinder 303, a multi-faceted hole 304, a conveyor belt 305, a connecting plate 308, and a connecting... The connecting ring 309 and the support frame 1 have two drive shafts 301 movably mounted inside. A multifaceted column 302 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each drive shaft 301. The multifaceted column 302 drives a drive cylinder 303 to rotate stably via a polygonal structure. The drive cylinder 303 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the multifaceted column 302. A multifaceted hole 304 is formed inside the drive cylinder 303. A conveyor belt 305 is fitted onto the outer wall of the two drive cylinders 303. The conveyor belt 305 is used to transport rice noodles. Connecting plates 308 are movably mounted on both sides of the conveyor belt 305. The connecting plates 308 are used to transfer the impact of the protrusion 402 to the conveyor belt 305. Each end is fixedly connected with a connecting ring 309. The connecting ring 309 is used to connect the connecting plate 308 to the conveyor belt 305 without affecting the rotation of the conveyor belt 305. The connecting ring 309 is movably installed on the side wall of the drive cylinder 303 on the same side. The vibration mechanism 4 includes a rotating shaft 401, a protrusion 402, a support rod 403, a push plate 404, and a spring 405. Two rotating shafts 401 are movably installed on the left side of the support frame 1. The outer wall of the protrusion 402 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 401. The protrusion 402 rotates with the rotating shaft 401 and periodically impacts the left connecting plate 308. The protrusion 402 and the left connecting plate 308... The outer wall is fitted together. Two support rods 403 are movably installed on the right side of the support frame 1. The support rods 403 provide sliding guidance for the push plate 404. The push plate 404 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rods 403. The spring 405 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support rods 403. The spring 405 provides a restoring force so that the push plate 404 is always in contact with the right connecting plate 308. The spring 405 is located between the support rods 403 and the support frame 1. The outer wall of the push plate 404 is in contact with the outer wall of the right connecting plate 308. Under the action of the spring 405, the push plate 404 presses against the connecting plate 308, and cooperates with the left protrusion 402 to make the conveyor belt 305 reciprocate.
[0026] Drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 501, a single-groove belt groove 502, a transmission rod 503, a double-groove belt groove 504, a second single-groove belt groove 505, and a drive belt 506. The drive motor 501 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the support frame 1. One end of the front drive shaft 301 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 501. The first single-groove belt groove 502 is formed on the outer wall of the front drive shaft 301. The first single-groove belt groove 502 transmits power to the transmission rod 503 via the drive belt 506. Two movable parts are installed inside the support frame 1. The outer wall of the front conveyor rod 503 is provided with a double-groove belt groove 504, which is connected to two drive belts 506 to achieve power splitting. The outer wall of the rear conveyor rod 503 is provided with a single-groove belt groove 2 505, which receives power through the drive belt 506. Drive belts 506 are fitted between the single-groove belt groove 1 502 and the double-groove belt groove 504, and between the double-groove belt groove 504 and the single-groove belt groove 2 505.
[0027] The drive assembly 5 also includes a first bevel gear 507 and a second bevel gear 508. The first bevel gear 507 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 503, and the second bevel gear 508 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 401. The first bevel gear 507 meshes with the second bevel gear 508 at the corresponding position. The first bevel gear 507 meshes with the second bevel gear 508 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 401, converting the rotational motion of the transmission rod 503 into the vertical rotation of the rotating shaft 401.
[0028] The conveyor belt 305 has internal drainage holes that are evenly distributed and have a diameter that matches the size of the rice noodles. This ensures that water drips quickly while preventing rice noodles from leaking, thus improving drainage efficiency. The outer wall of the conveyor belt 305 is fixedly connected to multiple rows of hanging pins 306. The hanging pins 306 are made of flexible material and are hook-shaped. They can gently hook the soft fermented rice noodles, preventing the rice noodles from slipping due to insufficient friction in traditional rigid conveyor belts, and reducing tearing damage. The outer wall of the conveyor belt 305 is also fixedly connected to multiple baffles 307. The baffles 307 are perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor belt 305 to prevent the rice noodles from moving laterally and piling up during the conveying process, ensuring uniform drainage.
[0029] The inclined setting of the discharge box 6 allows the rice noodles to slide naturally onto the conveyor belt 305 by gravity, avoiding the unevenness of manual feeding. The bottom of the discharge box 6 has a discharge port 601, which is located at the top front end of the conveyor belt 305. The width of the discharge port 601 is the same as the width of the conveyor belt 305, ensuring that the rice noodles are spread evenly in a thin layer at the top front end of the conveyor belt 305, avoiding thick layer accumulation that affects the drainage effect.
[0030] The rear end of the support frame 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge plate 8. The discharge plate 8 is sloping, with a smooth surface and an inclination angle that connects with the end of the conveyor belt 305 to ensure that the drained rice noodles slide smoothly and avoid residue accumulation. The discharge plate 8 is located at the bottom of the rear end of the conveyor belt 305.
[0031] A water collection tank 7 is fixedly installed inside the support frame 1. The water collection tank 7 is located at the bottom of the conveyor belt 305 and ensures that the dripping water is completely collected.
[0032] Working principle: First, the fermented soft rice flour is poured into the inclined discharge box 6. The rice flour falls evenly to the front end of the conveyor belt 305 through the discharge port 601. Then, the drive motor 501 is started, which drives the front drive shaft 301 to rotate. The multi-faceted column 302 drives the conveyor belt 305 to convey the rice flour upward through the drive cylinder 303 and the connecting ring 309. The hanging needle 306 and the baffle 307 ensure that the rice flour is stably attached to the conveyor belt and prevents it from slipping.
[0033] When the drive shaft 301 rotates, the single-groove belt groove 502 drives the double-groove belt groove 504 of the front conveyor rod 503 to rotate through the drive belt 506. The double-groove belt groove 504 then drives the single-groove belt groove 505 of the rear conveyor rod 503 through another drive belt 506, so that the two conveyor rods 503 rotate synchronously. The conveyor rods 503 drive the rotating shaft 401 to rotate through the meshing of bevel gear 1 507 and bevel gear 2 508. The protrusion 402 periodically hits the left connecting plate 308, and the right push plate 404 pushes the connecting plate 308 synchronously under the action of the spring 405, so that the conveyor belt 305 generates low-frequency reciprocating vibration.
[0034] As the rice noodles move along the conveyor belt 305, water drips through the filter holes into the water collection tank 7. At the same time, the vibration loosens the rice noodles, preventing them from piling up and being crushed.
[0035] Conveyor belt 305 transports the drained rice noodles to the rear end, where the rice noodles fall off conveyor belt 305 and slide onto discharge plate 8 for subsequent processing.
