Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically to a device for improving the cooking speed and storage properties of colored rice. Background Technology

[0002] A dryer is a mechanical device that uses heat energy to reduce the moisture content of materials. Its main function is drying. Generally speaking, the working principle of a dryer is to use high-temperature heating to cause the moisture on the surface and inside of the material to evaporate rapidly, thus obtaining dried material. The purpose of drying is to meet the needs of further processing of the material, facilitating subsequent quick cooking and storage.

[0003] The existing drying process generally involves spreading colored rice longitudinally in the drying room through partitions and blowing circulating hot air onto the colored rice. This method can dry a large quantity at a time, and the use of circulating hot air can save a lot of energy. However, spreading the colored rice in the drying room requires multiple people and takes a long time to complete, resulting in a huge labor input and a longer time consumption. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device that improves the quick-cooking and storage properties of colored rice, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution provided by this utility model to solve the above problems is as follows: a device for improving the quick-cooking and storage properties of colored rice, comprising a frame, a drum, and a first guiding assembly. The frame supports the drum, and the two ends of the drum are rotatably mounted on the frame. A driving device is provided on the frame, which can drive the drum to rotate on the frame. The two ends of the drum are respectively an air inlet and an air outlet. A feed inlet is provided on one side of the air inlet, and a discharge outlet is provided on one side of the air outlet. The first guiding assembly is disposed inside the drum, and high-temperature gas introduced through the air inlet flows towards the drum through the guidance of the first guiding assembly. The air outlet dries the material inside the drum with hot air along the way. The inlet dries the high-temperature gas by the turbulence of the first guide component, which slows down the flow of the high-temperature gas to the outlet. The drum is driven to rotate by the drive device, which moves the colored rice inside. Due to gravity, the colored rice that reaches a certain height becomes dispersed as it falls, and is then dried by the high-temperature airflow from the inlet, making it easier to dry the colored rice with hot air and promoting its storability. In addition, materials can be continuously added through the feed inlet, improving the overall automation level and enabling uninterrupted hot air drying.

[0006] Preferably, an external gear is provided on the outside of the drum, and the driving device includes a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is provided with transmission teeth that mesh with the external gear. Driving the drive motor to rotate can drive the drum to rotate. By driving the entire drum to rotate through the drive motor, the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor can be controlled to control the forward and reverse rotation of the drum, thereby controlling the residence time of colored rice in the drum and ensuring that the drying standard for colored rice storage is met.

[0007] Preferably, there are at least two sets of external gears.

[0008] Preferably, the first guiding component includes a guiding shaft and a breaking blade. The two ends of the guiding shaft are rotatably fixed at the center of the air inlet and the air outlet, respectively. The breaking blade is disposed on the guiding shaft and can disperse the high-temperature gas into the interior of the drum. Due to the connection and coaxiality of the air inlet and outlet, when high-temperature gas is introduced, the hot airflow is easily caused to flow directly out of the outlet, reducing the drying effect. The addition of the breaking blade can disperse the high-temperature airflow introduced at the air inlet and form turbulence, thereby causing the high-temperature airflow to flow towards the inner wall of the drum and fully contact the colored rice, thereby improving the hot air drying efficiency. In addition, the breaking blade can also break the colored rice into smaller pieces, thereby reducing the particle size of the colored rice. The smaller particle size makes the colored rice easier to heat during subsequent steaming and cooking, thereby improving the cooking speed of the colored rice.

[0009] Preferably, the breaking blade consists of several fan-shaped blades that are evenly distributed in a spiral pattern on the guide shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the cutting blade is inclined on the guide shaft, and the inclination direction is directed toward the air outlet.

[0011] Preferably, the inside of the drum is further provided with a second guide component, which forms several storage areas with the inner wall of the drum. Rotating the drum can keep the material stored in the storage area for a period of time. After reaching a certain height, the storage area can slowly tilt the material to promote the material to fully receive hot air drying.

[0012] Preferably, the second guiding component includes guide plates and partitions. The guide plates are spiral-shaped and fully distributed inside the roller. The partitions are disposed between the guide plates, and adjacent guide plates and partitions form a storage area.

[0013] Preferably, the height of the partition is less than the height of the guide plate. Through the set storage areas, after the material enters the drum, each storage area will hold a certain amount of colored rice. When the drum rotates, the colored rice will be temporarily stored in the storage area due to the existence of the storage area. After the drum rotates to a certain angle, the colored rice in the storage area will gradually leave the storage area. Due to the presence of the built-in guide plate, the colored rice will slowly move towards the discharge port during the rolling process, thereby realizing the automatic unloading of the colored rice after hot air drying. This improves the overall automation level of the equipment. At the same time, the speed of the drive device can be controlled according to the degree of hot air drying of the colored rice coming out of the discharge port, so as to achieve the desired degree of hot air drying.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the drive device drives the drum to rotate, which in turn moves the colored rice inside. Due to gravity, the colored rice that has reached a certain height becomes dispersed as it falls, and is then dried by the high-temperature airflow introduced through the air inlet. This makes it easier to dry the colored rice with hot air and also promotes its storability. In addition, materials can be continuously added through the feed inlet, which improves the overall automation level and enables uninterrupted hot air drying, thus achieving batch continuous production.

[0015] By using a breaking blade, the inlet and outlet ends of the rice are connected and coaxial. Therefore, when high-temperature gas is introduced, the hot airflow is easily caused to flow directly out of the outlet end, reducing the drying effect. The addition of the breaking blade can disperse the high-temperature airflow introduced from the inlet end and form turbulence, so that the high-temperature airflow flows towards the inner wall of the drum and fully contacts the colored rice, thereby improving the hot air drying efficiency. In addition, the breaking blade can also break the colored rice into smaller pieces, thereby reducing the particle size of the colored rice and improving its quick cooking properties.

[0016] With the established storage zones, each zone holds a certain amount of colored rice after the material enters the drum. As the drum rotates, the colored rice is temporarily stored in the storage zones. After the drum rotates to a certain angle, the colored rice gradually leaves the storage zones. Due to the presence of built-in guide plates, the colored rice moves slowly towards the discharge port during the rotation process, thus achieving automatic unloading of the colored rice after hot air drying. This improves the overall automation level of the equipment. In addition, the speed of the drive device can be controlled according to the degree of hot air drying of the colored rice coming out of the discharge port, thereby achieving the desired degree of hot air drying.

[0025] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation of this utility model can be fully understood and carried out based on how technical means are used to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects.

[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the directional terms such as "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", and "counterclockwise" indicate the orientation and positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. They should not be construed as limiting the specific protection scope of this invention.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features. Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in the description of this invention, "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can also refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances. Example 1

[0029] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 Referring to the above, an apparatus for improving the quick cooking and storage properties of colored rice includes a frame 10, a drum 20, and a first guide assembly 30. The frame 10 is provided with a support 103 for supporting the drum 20. The drum 20 has an air inlet 201 and an air outlet 202 at both ends. The air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202 are fixed to the support 103. The two ends of the first guide assembly 30 are connected to the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202 through connecting blocks 303 and are located inside the drum 20. The axis of the first guide assembly 30 coincides with the axis of the drum 20. The apparatus also includes a drive device 101, which is fixed to the frame 10. Driving the drive device 101 can cause the drum 20 to rotate, thereby turning the colored rice inside and improving the hot air drying efficiency.

[0030] Understandably, please combine Figure 4 Referring to the diagram, the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202 are rotatably connected to the drum 20 via bearings. Therefore, when the drum 20 rotates as a whole, the air outlet 202 and the air inlet 201 will not rotate together. The feed inlet 203 and the discharge outlet 204 are respectively located on one side of the air inlet 201 and the side of the air outlet 202. Therefore, the feed inlet 203 and the discharge outlet 204 will not rotate, which facilitates the feeding and discharging of materials and air. The high-temperature gas introduced into the air inlet 201 can slow down the speed at which the high-temperature gas flows to the air outlet 202 through the turbulence of the first guide component 30.

[0031] Furthermore, please combine Figure 2 Referring to the first guide assembly 30, there are multiple sets of guide shafts 301 and breaking blades 302. The multiple sets of breaking blades 302 are arranged in a spiral, and the ends of the breaking blades 302 are inclined towards the air outlet 202. Therefore, during use, the airflow enters from the air inlet 201, and after being guided by the breaking blades 302, the airflow is dispersed to the inner wall of the drum 20 to fully mix with the colored rice, remove the moisture from the colored rice, and flow out towards the air outlet 202.

[0032] It is understandable that the guide shaft 301 is connected to the drive motor 102 via the belt 40. By controlling the drive motor 102, the guide shaft 301 can be driven to rotate. The rotation of the guide shaft 301 drives the breaking blade 302 to break down and refine the colored rice, thereby reducing the particle size of the colored rice. The smaller particle size makes the colored rice easier to heat up during subsequent steaming and cooking, thus improving the speed of cooking the colored rice.

[0033] Understandably, since the damp colored rice enters through the feed inlet 203, it is quite sticky. When the drum 20 rotates, it will throw the colored rice in clumps from the top of the drum 20. During the fall, it will also be broken up by the first guide component 30, thereby increasing the contact area between the high-temperature airflow and the colored rice and improving the hot air drying efficiency.

[0034] Furthermore, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 5 Referring to the drum 20, a second guiding component 206 is also provided inside the drum 20. The second guiding component 206 includes a guiding plate 208 and a partition 209. The guiding plate 208 is spiral-shaped, and the partition 209 is plate-shaped. The guiding plate 208 is welded to the inner wall of the drum 20. Adjacent guiding plates 208 and the drum 20 form a guiding channel. The partition 209 is also welded to the inner wall of the drum 20 and forms a storage area 207 with the guiding plate 208 and the inner wall of the drum 20. The guiding plate 208, the partition 209 and the inner wall of the drum 20 form several storage areas 207. During the hot air drying process of colored rice, the colored rice first enters through the feed inlet 203. At this time, the colored rice only occupies a part of the storage area 207 at the feed end. As the hot air drying proceeds and the drum 20 rotates, the colored rice moves towards the middle of the drum 20 and towards the discharge outlet 204 as the hot air drying proceeds, thereby completing the overall hot air drying and promoting the storability of the colored rice.

[0035] Furthermore, the height of the partition 209 is less than the height of the guide plate 208. With this arrangement, during hot air drying, since the capacity of each storage area 207 is limited, some colored rice will always move on the surface. Due to the action of the first guide component 30, the colored rice on the surface will be dispersed by the high-temperature airflow to the surface of the drum 20. At this time, the colored rice on the surface will be dried by the hot air first. Then, when the drum 20 rotates, this part of the colored rice will slide into the storage area 207 in the middle of the drum 20 first. As the drum 20 rotates, the colored rice at the bottom will be lifted by the storage area 207. As the drum 20 continues to rotate, the colored rice in the drum 20 will fall from a higher height to the bottom of the drum 20. During the falling process, most of the colored rice will be dispersed and dried by the high-temperature airflow entering from the air inlet 201, thereby improving the hot air drying efficiency of the colored rice on the surface and bottom of the drum 20.

[0036] The above description only illustrates the preferred embodiment of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims. This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and variations in its specific structure are permitted. All changes made within the scope of the independent claims of this utility model are also within the scope of protection of this utility model.
