Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice processing, and in particular to an automated feeding mechanism based on rice processing. Background Technology

[0002] Rice, also known as paddy rice, is a finished product made from paddy rice through processes such as cleaning, hulling, milling, and finishing. Rice is one of the staple foods for humankind, possessing significant nutritional value and various health benefits.

[0003] When rice is processed (removing the outer husk), it needs to be transferred from storage equipment to processing equipment. The feeding equipment used for this transfer is generally a screw conveyor. Traditional screw conveyors are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the main feeding pipe has a discharge pipe. When the rice inside the main pipe reaches the position of the discharge pipe, it can leak out from the discharge pipe and be transferred to the processing equipment.

[0004] However, the following defects and shortcomings still exist in the application implementation process:

[0005] The discharge pipe itself cannot be adjusted. When feeding, it is necessary to ensure that the discharge pipe is aligned with the receiving container of the processing equipment. If there is a deviation, the position and angle of the entire screw feeder need to be adjusted, which is quite difficult.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automated feeding mechanism based on rice processing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automated feeding mechanism based on rice processing.

[0008] The automated feeding mechanism for rice processing provided by this utility model includes a feeding pipe body, a discharging pipe on the feeding pipe body, and further includes:

[0009] A positioning ring frame is rotatably mounted on the feed pipe and concentrically arranged therewith. A connecting frame is welded and fixed on one side of the positioning ring frame.

[0010] An adjustable feeding hopper, comprising a first hopper body and a second hopper body, wherein the first hopper body is bolted to a connecting frame, and the second hopper body can move relative to the first hopper body to change the length of the entire feeding hopper;

[0011] A rotation adjustment mechanism is installed on the feed pipe and can drive the positioning ring frame to rotate circumferentially.

[0012] Preferably, the outer circumferential wall of the feed pipe is further provided with an annular groove;

[0013] The circumferential inner wall of the positioning ring frame has a ring rail, which is embedded inside the ring groove.

[0014] Preferably, the second bucket is located outside the first bucket, and the two are slidably connected.

[0015] Preferably, the first hopper is located directly below the feed pipe, and a rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the first hopper.

[0016] Preferably, a first positioning bracket is fixed to the lower end of the first bucket body with screws, and a hydraulic cylinder is installed on the first positioning bracket;

[0017] A second positioning foot is fixed to the lower end of the second bucket body with screws, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the second positioning foot.

[0018] Preferably, the rotation adjustment mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the feed pipe. A motor is mounted on the mounting frame, and a drive gear is fixed to the output end of the motor.

[0019] A transmission gear ring is welded and fixed to the outer circumference of the positioning ring frame, and the transmission gear ring meshes with the drive gear.

[0020] Compared with related technologies, the automated feeding mechanism for rice processing provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] This utility model provides an automated feeding mechanism for rice processing, in which a rotatable feeding hopper is set below the feeding pipe.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0033] Please see Figures 2 to 5 This utility model provides an automated feeding mechanism for rice processing. The automated feeding mechanism for rice processing includes a feeding pipe body 1, a discharging pipe 11 on the feeding pipe body 1, and further includes:

[0034] Positioning ring frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the feed pipe 11 and is concentrically set therewith. A connecting frame 32 is welded and fixed on one side of the positioning ring frame 3.

[0035] Adjustable feeding hopper 2 is composed of a first hopper body 21 and a second hopper body 22. The first hopper body 21 is bolted to the connecting frame 32, while the second hopper body 22 can move relative to the first hopper body 21 to change the length of the entire feeding hopper.

[0036] Rotation adjustment mechanism 4 is installed on the feed pipe 11 and can drive the positioning ring frame 3 to rotate circumferentially.

[0037] It should be noted that in this device, the main body 1 of the feeding pipe of the screw feeder is set at an inclination. The lower end has a feeding hopper, and the other end has a discharge pipe 11. The inside has a spiral blade. When the spiral blade rotates, it can lift and transfer the rice into the discharge pipe 11, and then discharge it from the discharge pipe 11.

[0038] An adjustable hopper 2 is installed below the feeding pipe 11 to receive the discharged rice and guide it out from the feeding end of the hopper. Simultaneously, the adjustable hopper 2 is mounted on a connecting frame 32, which is fixed to a positioning ring frame 3. The positioning ring frame 3 is rotatably mounted on the feeding pipe 11. Therefore, when there is an angular deviation between the lower end of the feeding pipe 11 and the receiving container of the processing equipment, the feeding end of the adjustable hopper 2 can be rotated to the upper opening of the receiving container to guide the rice. At the same time, the overall length of the adjustable hopper 2 can be readjusted according to the distance between the feeding pipe 11 and the receiving container, ensuring precise alignment between the feeding end of the hopper and the opening of the receiving container. Compared to adjusting the entire screw feeder, this device is simpler to operate and offers higher adjustment accuracy.

[0039] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 The outer circumferential wall of the feed pipe 11 is also provided with an annular groove 12;

[0040] The inner circumferential wall of the positioning ring frame 3 has a ring rail 31, which is embedded in the ring groove 12.

[0041] It should be noted that the inner wall of the positioning ring frame 3 has a ring rail 31, which is embedded in the ring groove 12 outside the feed tube 11, which can enhance the connection between the two and make it more stable.

[0042] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The second bucket 22 is located outside the first bucket 21, and the two are slidably connected. The first bucket 21 is located directly below the feed pipe 11, and has a rubber pad at the bottom inside.

[0043] It should be noted that the feeding hopper is a split design, so its overall length can be adjusted. At the same time, the first hopper body 21 corresponds to the feeding pipe 11, and there is a rubber pad inside it, so it can buffer the rice after it falls on it and prevent splashing.

[0044] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 A first positioning leg 23 is fixed to the lower end of the first bucket body 21 with screws, and a hydraulic cylinder 24 is installed on the first positioning leg 23;

[0045] A second positioning foot 25 is fixed to the lower end of the second bucket body 22 with screws, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 is fixed to the second positioning foot 25.

[0046] It should be noted that a hydraulic cylinder 24 is fixed at the lower end of the first bucket 21, and the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 is fixed to the second positioning foot 25 at the lower end of the second bucket 22. Therefore, the hydraulic cylinder 24 can be used to drive the second bucket 22 to move in order to adjust its overall length.

[0047] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 5 The rotation adjustment mechanism 4 includes a mounting frame 41, which is sleeved and fixed to the outside of the feed pipe 11. A motor 42 is mounted on the mounting frame 41, and a drive gear 43 is fixed to the output end of the motor 42.

[0048] A transmission gear ring 44 is welded and fixed to the outer circumference of the positioning ring frame 3, and the transmission gear ring 44 meshes with the drive gear 43.

[0049] It should be noted that in the rotation adjustment mechanism 4, the motor 42 can directly drive the drive gear 43 to rotate, while the transmission gear ring 44 is fixed to the outside of the positioning ring frame 3. That is, when the drive gear 43 rotates, it can drive the positioning ring frame 3 to rotate through gear transmission, thereby driving the hopper to rotate.

[0050] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
