Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rice processing, and in particular to a rice processing device with a drying function. Background Technology

[0002] In rice production, a washing and drying process is usually added before the grinding or packaging process. The core of this process is to use a low-temperature drying cycle system to continuously dry the pre-treated wet rice at low temperatures. The drying temperature and time are precisely controlled to remove excess moisture while preventing the rice from gelatinizing or cracking due to high temperatures. This not only ensures the taste and nutritional value of the rice, but also inhibits mold growth by reducing the moisture content, thus extending the shelf life of the rice. It is widely used in small and medium-sized rice processing plants and in the primary processing stage of grain producing areas.

[0003] In the prior art, compared with the Chinese utility model with announcement number CN217686364U, a drying device for rice processing is disclosed, which uses subsequent cooling air to assist drying. However, it has been found that due to the characteristics of rice itself, when it contains a large amount of moisture, it is very easy to form clumps if it comes into contact with drying gas. This causes the temperature inside the clumps to accumulate, leading to temperature rise and deterioration, and the clumps also affect subsequent processing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rice processing device with a drying function in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] This utility model achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0008] The crushing mechanism includes a main shaft that runs through the hollow cylinder along its axial direction. Several mounting sleeves are evenly arrayed on the main shaft, and symmetrically mounted on the mounting sleeves are rotating plates. The rotating plates are connected to the mounting sleeves via couplings, and the rotating plates on adjacent main shafts form an angle of 90 degrees with each other. An adjustment mechanism is provided between the mounting sleeves and the main shaft. Hollow grooves for feeding loose rice are formed on the rotating plates, and clamping plates are installed inside the grooves.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes an inner rotating cylinder, which is keyed to the main shaft. The mounting sleeve is slidably connected to the outside of the inner rotating cylinder. The two end faces of the inner rotating cylinder cooperate with the mounting sleeve through reset components. A pulling rope is connected through the inside of the connecting shaft. One end of the pulling rope is fixed to the inner rotating cylinder, and the other end of the pulling rope is connected to a traction plate. The traction plate is fixed to the clamping plate.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge spiral plate is a thin copper sheet, and two clamping plates are symmetrically arranged inside each hollow groove.

[0011] Preferably, the clamps within the same hollow groove are fixed in a V-shape.

[0013] Preferably, the tumbling plate is installed at an angle on the connecting shaft, and the inclined surface of the tumbling plate corresponds to the incoming surface of the rice conveyed when the discharge cone rotates.

[0014] Preferably, both the hollow cylinder and the main shaft are powered to rotate by an electric motor, and the hollow cylinder and the main shaft rotate in opposite directions.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] During the rice drying process, the drying mechanism uses the reverse push of the crushing mechanism to screen out clumped rice and break up the clumps with the initial impact. The adjusting mechanism then adjusts the state of the clamps to ensure the crushing of the clumps, thereby ensuring the drying efficiency of the rice and the dryness of the rice in subsequent processing, thus improving the yield rate.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a rice processing device with drying function includes a sealing mechanism for providing a drying environment and a water vapor filtration mechanism 2 for filtering and absorbing water vapor during the drying process. The water vapor filtration mechanism 2 is installed on the upper end of the sealing mechanism. It also includes a crushing mechanism for tumbling and separating clumps and loose rice and an adjusting mechanism 5 for improving the processing of clumps. A drying mechanism 3 is installed laterally inside the sealing mechanism. The crushing mechanism is installed at the axial position inside the drying mechanism 3. The adjusting mechanism 5 is installed inside the crushing mechanism.

[0031] The drying mechanism 3 includes a hollow cylinder 31, a discharge cone 33 is installed at the discharge end of the hollow cylinder 31, a discharge spiral plate 34 is installed on the inner wall of the discharge cone 33, and a filter screen 32 is snapped onto the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 31.

[0032] The crushing mechanism includes a main shaft 41, which runs through the hollow cylinder 31. Several mounting sleeves 42 are evenly arrayed on the main shaft 41. Tilting plates 43 are symmetrically mounted on the mounting sleeves 42. The tilting plates 43 are connected to the mounting sleeves 42 via a connecting shaft 44. The tilting plates 43 on adjacent main shafts 41 have an angle of 90 degrees with each other. An adjustment mechanism 5 is set between the mounting sleeves 42 and the main shaft 41. Hollow grooves for feeding loose rice are formed on the tilting plates 43, and clamping plates 45 are installed in the grooves.

[0033] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism 5 includes an inner rotating cylinder 51, which is keyed to the main shaft 41. The inner rotating cylinder 51 is slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting sleeve 42. The two end faces of the inner rotating cylinder 51 are fitted with the mounting sleeve 42 through the reset piece 52. A pulling rope 53 is connected through the inside of the connecting shaft 44. One end of the pulling rope 53 is fixed to the inner rotating cylinder 51, and the other end of the pulling rope 53 is connected to a traction plate. The traction plate is fixed to the clamping plate 45.

[0034] In this embodiment, the discharge spiral plate 34 is a thin copper plate. Two clamping plates 45 are symmetrically arranged inside each hollow groove. Utilizing the flexible properties of the copper plate, when the clamping plates 45 contract inward, they can clamp and cut the clumps.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 45 in the same hollow groove is fixed in a V-shape. The V-shaped structure cooperates with the hollow groove to change the space through which the rice passes.

[0036] In this embodiment, the discharge end of the hollow cylinder 31 is lower than the feed end of the hollow cylinder 31 to ensure the overall conveying effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, the tumbling plate 43 is installed obliquely on the connecting shaft 44, and the oblique surface of the tumbling plate 43 corresponds to the material surface of the rice conveying when the discharge cone 33 rotates. The oblique surface collides with the overall conveying trajectory to improve the crushing effect.

[0038] In this embodiment, both the hollow cylinder 31 and the main shaft 41 are powered to rotate by an electric motor, and the rotation directions of the hollow cylinder 31 and the main shaft 41 are opposite.

[0039] Working principle: The rice to be dried is poured into the hollow cylinder 31 through the feeding trough 12. The motor at the bottom of the hollow cylinder 31 drives the hollow cylinder 31 to rotate through the transmission component. The motor at the rear end of the main shaft 41 drives the main shaft 41 to rotate through the transmission component. At the same time, the low-temperature drying fan 14 at the bottom of the drying chamber 11 provides low-temperature drying gas to the rice inside the hollow cylinder 31, and the water vapor filtration mechanism 2 at the top circulates and filters the air gas containing water vapor.

[0040] During the drying process, the rice containing moisture clumps together due to friction. At this time, the main shaft 41, which rotates in the opposite direction to the hollow cylinder 31, drives the mounting sleeve 42 and the tumbling plate 43 to impact the rice in the opposite direction. The unclumped rice will pass through the hollow groove on the tumbling plate 43, while the clumps will be intercepted by the tumbling plate 43.

[0041] In the initial stage of contact between the clumps and the rolling plate 43, the reverse impact force will be used to crush the clumps. If the clumps are small and the impact is small, they will be gradually lifted by the rotating rolling plate 43. At this time, because the mounting sleeve 42 and the main shaft 41 are connected by the inner rotating cylinder 51, the mounting sleeve 42 is twisted relative to the main shaft 41. After the mounting sleeve 42 and the rolling plate 43 are twisted, the inner rotating cylinder 51 drives the pulling rope 53 and the traction plate to retract towards the main shaft 41. When the traction plate retracts, it will drive the clamping plate 45 to retract. The inwardly retracting clamping plate 45 will squeeze the clumps of rice against each other, thereby crushing the small clumps of rice.

[0042] After all the rice has been dried, it is gradually conveyed to the discharge end through the inclined hollow cylinder 31. Driven by the discharge cone 33 and the discharge spiral plate 34, it is sent out from the discharge trough 13 for packaging or the next process.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
