Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice production technology, specifically to a hoist used in rice production. Background Technology
[0002] Rice is a food made from paddy through cleaning, hulling, milling, and finishing processes. It is a staple food for people in most parts of China. In existing rice processing production lines, due to the requirements of the processing technology, rice needs to be lifted and lowered multiple times during processing, often using bucket elevators.
[0003] According to Chinese Utility Model Application No. 202323152750.4, a rice processing bucket elevator is proposed. The utility model describes that "the lifting component can lift the rice entering the shell from the feed box, and the electric cylinder can control the tilt angle of the guide plate. The discharge height can be adjusted by the adjustment component, so that the rice can be lifted to different heights as needed, thereby effectively improving the applicability of the device. It solves the problem that the bucket elevator is not convenient to adjust the height of the rice when lifting it. The upper and lower baffle components can also prevent the rice from spilling from outside the guide plate during processing. The supporting and moving components can ensure the stability of the device during use and facilitate the movement of the device, thereby effectively improving the applicability of the device."
[0004] The current rice processing bucket elevator requires workers to use a shovel to scoop the appropriate amount of rice into the feeding box based on experience. This requires repeated adjustments to the shoveling process, which is not only cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, but also results in inaccurate feeding, with varying amounts of rice being lifted each time, affecting the subsequent processing results. Therefore, a new elevator for rice production is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

It solves the problem that when quantitatively hoisting rice, workers rely on experience to shovel the appropriate amount of rice into the feeding box, requiring repeated adjustments to the number of shovels. This is not only cumbersome, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, but also results in inaccurate feeding, with different amounts of rice being hoisted each time, affecting the subsequent rice processing effect.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bucket elevator for rice production, comprising a bucket elevator body, a feeding mechanism, and a metering mechanism, wherein,

[0019] Please see Figure 1-4 The bucket elevator for rice production in this embodiment includes a bucket elevator body 1, a feeding mechanism 2, and a metering mechanism 3.
[0020] Specifically, rice is poured into the feeding mechanism 2, the metering mechanism 3 quantifies the rice, and the bucket elevator body 1 lifts the quantified rice. This method is not only simple to operate, but also saves time and effort. Moreover, the feeding is relatively accurate, and the amount of rice lifted each time is close, which improves the subsequent processing effect of the rice.
[0021] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding bin 21, which is disposed on the side wall of the bucket elevator body 1. An mounting plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the bucket elevator body 1. The mounting plate is threadedly connected to the bottom of the feeding bin 21 by bolts. A cover plate 22 is detachably installed on the top of the feeding bin 21. A handle is fixedly installed on the top of the cover plate 22. A matching insert plate is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cover plate 22. A horizontal plate 23 is fixedly installed inside the feeding bin 21. A first pipe is connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 23. A first solenoid valve is fixedly installed outside the first pipe. A first inclined plate 24 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the feeding bin 21. Feed holes are opened on the side wall of the feeding bin 21 and the side wall of the bucket elevator body 1. A guide plate 25 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the feeding bin 21, which penetrates the feed hole and extends into the inside of the bucket elevator body 1.
[0022] Specifically, grasp the handle to remove the cover plate 22, pour the rice into the inside of the feeding hopper 21, the rice is located at the top of the horizontal plate 23, open the first solenoid valve, the rice falls down along the first pipe, slides down the first inclined plate 24 and guide plate 25 into the lifting bucket inside the bucket elevator body 1, the bucket elevator body 1 lifts the rice. Since the bucket elevator body 1 is existing technology, its internal structure, connection method and working principle have been disclosed, so it will not be described in detail.
[0023] In this embodiment, the metering mechanism 3 includes a second inclined plate 31, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the feeding hopper 21. The second inclined plate 31 is located between the horizontal plate 23 and the first inclined plate 24. The bottom of the second inclined plate 31 is connected to a second pipe, and a second solenoid valve is fixedly installed on the outside of the second pipe. An electric push rod 32 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the feeding hopper 21. The output end of the electric push rod 32 passes through the feeding hopper 21 and is fixedly installed with a metering plate 33.

[0024] Specifically, by activating the electric push rod 32, the electric push rod 32 drives the metering plate 33 to move, so that the left side of the metering plate 33 coincides with the designated scale of the scale 35. The space formed by the horizontal plate 23, the metering plate 33, the second inclined plate 31 and the feeding bin 21 is the required volume of rice. When the second solenoid valve is opened, the rice falls down along the second pipe.
[0025] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0026] The operator first activates the electric push rod 32, which moves the metering plate 33 so that its left side aligns with the designated mark on the scale 35. The space formed by the horizontal plate 23, the metering plate 33, the second inclined plate 31, and the feeding hopper 21 is the required volume of rice. Then, the operator holds the handle to remove the cover plate 22 and pours the rice into the feeding hopper 21. The rice is located at the top of the horizontal plate 23. The operator then opens the first solenoid valve, and the rice falls down along the first pipe until it fills the space formed by the horizontal plate 23, the metering plate 33, the second inclined plate 31, and the feeding hopper 21. Finally, the operator closes the first solenoid valve and opens the second solenoid valve, and the rice falls down along the second pipe, sliding down the first inclined plate 24 and the guide plate 25 into the lifting hopper inside the bucket elevator body 1. The bucket elevator body 1 lifts the metered rice, which is not only simple to operate, but also saves time and effort. Moreover, the feeding is relatively accurate, with each lift being a similar amount of rice, improving the subsequent processing effect of the rice.
