Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice processing technology, and in particular to a centrifugal dehydration device for rice processing. Background Technology

[0002] As a globally important food crop, rice involves multiple processing steps, with dehydration being a crucial one. Freshly harvested rice or rice that has undergone pre-treatment such as soaking and washing contains a large amount of moisture. If this moisture is not removed in time, it will not only increase storage and transportation costs but also easily lead to mold and spoilage, affecting quality and safety. Therefore, efficient and reliable rice dehydration technology is essential for ensuring rice processing quality, extending shelf life, and improving economic benefits. Traditional rice dehydration methods mainly include natural sun-drying and hot air drying. Natural sun-drying is limited by weather conditions, requires a large space and a long drying time, and is easily contaminated by dust and debris, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale industrial production. Although hot air drying can shorten the drying time to some extent, it has problems such as high energy consumption, uneven drying, and easy loss of rice nutrients and quality decline. In addition, the high temperature generated during hot air drying can also cause cracks on the surface of the rice, reducing its commercial value.

[0003] Centrifugal dehydration devices use centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to quickly separate surface moisture from rice. Their dehydration efficiency is far higher than that of traditional natural sun drying or simple mechanical dehydration. However, in current practical applications, if the moisture cannot be guided out in time, it will re-adhere to the surface of the rice as the device continues to operate, preventing the rice moisture content from being effectively reduced and failing to achieve the expected dehydration effect. If the dehydrated rice cannot be discharged smoothly, it will cause rice to accumulate inside the equipment, requiring the machine to be stopped for cleaning, increasing non-production time and reducing overall processing efficiency.

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a centrifugal dehydration device for rice processing, including a base plate 1, a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a driving component 3 provided on the outer side of the mounting frame 2, a support frame 4 fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 2, a dehydration frame 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 4, an opening and closing component 6 provided at the bottom of the dehydration frame 5, and a drainage component 7 provided on the inner side of the support frame 4.

[0030] The base plate 1 is the basic support component of the entire centrifugal dehydration device. The mounting frame 2 provides an installation position for the drive component 3, support frame 4, etc., making the structure of the entire device more compact and stable. The drive component 3 facilitates the rotation of the dehydration frame 5. The support frame 4 supports the dehydration frame 5 and assists in its rotation. The opening and closing component 6 facilitates the discharge of the dehydrated rice in the dehydration frame 5 when needed. The drainage component 7 is used to collect the water thrown out by the dehydration frame 5 during rotation and guides the water for easy drainage.

[0031] The opening and closing assembly 6 includes a fixing rod 61 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5. A limiting plate 62 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixing rod 61, and the outer side of the limiting plate 62 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5.

[0032] The fixed rod 61 provides a track and support for the rotation and sliding of the limiting plate 62, allowing the limiting plate 62 to slide and rotate stably on its outer side, thereby controlling the opening and closing state of the bottom of the dehydration frame 5, which facilitates the insertion and removal of rice. The limiting plate 62 can prevent rice from falling during rotation. It should be noted that when the limiting plate 62 is closed, the top height needs to be at the same level as the bottom of the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5 to prevent the dehydration frame 5 from forming a height difference with the limiting plate 62 during rotation, which would cause the rice to be squeezed by the baffle 15.

[0033] The drainage component 7 includes a drainage groove 71 formed in the inner wall of the support frame 4, and a drainage hole 72 formed in the inner wall of the support frame 4.

[0034] The drainage trough 71 is designed to collect the water that the dehydration frame 5 throws out during rotation and guide the water to the drainage hole 72 for easy drainage. The drainage hole 72 allows the water collected in the drainage trough 71 to be smoothly discharged out of the device, keeping the inside of the device dry.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0037] Specifically, a connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket 2, and a support rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 8.

[0038] The connecting block 8 provides an installation position for the support rod 9, allowing the support rod 9 to be stably fixed on the device, thereby providing support for the water storage frame 10. The support rod 9 can support the water storage frame 10 and allow the water storage frame 10 to slide within a certain range, thus facilitating the installation, disassembly and cleaning of the storage frame 12.

[0039] Specifically, a water storage frame 10 is slidably connected to the outer side of the support rod 9, and a drain pipe 11 is connected to the inner wall of the water storage frame 10.

[0040] The water storage frame 10 is designed to store water discharged from the drainage component 7. When the water in the water storage frame 10 reaches a certain amount, the water can be discharged through the drain pipe 11 to prevent water overflow. The drain pipe 11 is a channel for draining water from the water storage frame 10. Through the drain pipe 11, the water collected in the water storage frame 10 can be guided to a suitable discharge location.

[0041] Specifically, a storage frame 12 is installed on the inner wall of the water storage frame 10, a first handle 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the storage frame 12, and a second handle 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the water storage frame 10.

[0042] The storage box 12 is designed to store the rice discharged after dehydration in the dehydration box 5. The first handle 13 is designed to make it easy to remove the storage box 12 from the water storage box 10, so as to take out the rice in the storage box 12 and facilitate the next processing step of the rice.

[0043] Specifically, a support bar 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 4, and a baffle 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the support bar 16. The outer side of the baffle 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5.

[0044] The baffle 15 is designed to block the rice during discharge, allowing it to pass through the limiting plate 62. The support bar 16 provides support for the baffle 15, ensuring it remains in a relatively stationary position and preventing it from rotating with the dehydration frame 5, which would cause it to lose its blocking function during discharge.

[0045] Specifically, a limiting ring 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 62, and the inner wall of the limiting ring 17 is slidably connected to the outer side of the fixing rod 61. A positioning piece 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 61.

[0046] The setting of the limiting ring 17 can ensure that the relative horizontality of the limiting plate 62 and the dehydration frame 5 after installation, and the setting of the positioning piece 18 can limit the downward movement of the limiting plate 62 and prevent the limiting plate 62 from slipping off the fixing rod 61.

[0047] Specifically, the bottom of the dehydration frame 5 is fixedly connected to an installation block 19, and an insertion rod 20 is inserted into the inner wall of the installation block 19, with the outer side of the insertion rod 20 inserted into the inner wall of the limiting plate 62.

[0048] The mounting block 19 provides an installation position for the plug rod 20, allowing it to be stably inserted into the dehydration frame 5. The plug rod 20, in conjunction with the limiting plate 62, enables an opening and closing locking function. When the limiting plate 62 slides to the appropriate position, the plug rod 20 is inserted into the limiting plate 62 and the mounting block 19 to fix the position of the limiting plate 62 and prevent it from sliding due to vibration during the dehydration process, which would cause the rice inside the dehydration frame 5 to spill out.

[0049] Specifically, a spring 21 is provided on the outer side of the plug rod 20, and a limiting piece 22 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the plug rod 20, with one side of the limiting piece 22 fixedly connected to one end of the spring 21.

[0050] The spring 21 provides elastic force to the plug rod 20. When the limiting plate 62 needs to be moved, the plug rod 20 is pulled, which compresses the spring 21. When the limiting plate 62 is moved to the appropriate position, the plug rod 20 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 21 causes the plug rod 20 to automatically insert into the limiting plate 62, thus achieving the locking function. The limiting piece 22 is used to limit the spring 21 and prevent the plug rod 20 from sliding and failing to compress the spring 21.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.

[0053] Specifically, the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5 is provided with a reserved hole 23 and a limiting groove 24, and a fixing block 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5. A positioning plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 25.

[0054] The reserved hole 23 is a channel for water to be thrown out of the rice. During the rotation of the dehydration frame 5, the water in the rice is thrown out through the reserved hole 23 under the action of centrifugal force, enters the drainage trough 71, and is finally discharged out of the device. The setting of the limiting groove 24 can prevent the dehydration frame 5 from detaching from the support frame 4 during rotation. The fixing block 25 can provide support for the positioning plate 26, so that the positioning plate 26 can be stably positioned in a suitable position within the dehydration frame 5. The setting of the positioning plate 26 can limit the height of the rice during dehydration, preventing the height of the rice within the dehydration frame 5 from exceeding the reserved hole 23, thereby preventing water from being discharged. It should be noted that the positioning plate 26 is a curved surface design. This setting can prevent the rice discharged from the top from remaining on the surface of the positioning plate 26, and can further improve the limiting effect on the rice.

[0055] Specifically, the driving component 3 includes a motor 31 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 2. The output end of the motor 31 is fixedly connected to a connecting frame 32, and the outer side of the connecting frame 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5, and the outer side of the connecting frame 32 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the baffle 15.

[0056] The motor 31 can drive the connecting frame 32 to rotate, and the connecting frame 32 can drive the dehydration frame 5 to rotate, so that the dehydration frame 5 can complete the dehydration of the rice inside.

[0057] In use, first, the washed rice is fed into the dehydration frame 5 through the feed inlet at the top of the frame. Then, the motor 31 is started, which drives the connecting frame 32 to rotate. The connecting frame 32 then drives the dehydration frame 5 to rotate, causing the rice inside the frame to be dehydrated. At this time, the water in the rice will be thrown from the pre-drilled hole 23 on the inner wall of the dehydration frame 5 to the inner wall of the support frame 4 by centrifugal force. Due to gravity, the water will slide down the inner wall of the support frame 4 and be guided to the drain hole 72 for easy drainage. The water then falls into the water storage frame 10 through the drain hole 72. At the same time, the motor 31 is stopped, and then the plug rod 20 is pulled to release the connection. Limit plate 62 is set to limit the rice. Then, pull limit plate 62 down to release the rice from the limit. At this time, the rice can be discharged through the notch in the dehydration frame 5 into the storage frame 12. It should be noted that this is only one of the three gaps in the discharge baffle 15. The dehydration frame 5 needs to be rotated further. The rotation of the dehydration frame 5 will cause the discharge port on its inner wall to rotate, so that the discharge port rotates to the gap of the next baffle 15 to complete the discharge of the rice. After the discharge is completed, the second handle 14 can be pulled. The second handle 14 will cause the water storage frame 10 and the storage frame 12 to slide. At this time, hold the first handle 13 to pull up the storage frame 12 to take out the rice and send it to the next processing step.

[0058] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
