Two connecting rods are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a rice washing tank is fixedly connected to the top of the two connecting rods. A top plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rice washing tank, and a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor, and a connector is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer surface of the transmission rod. Multiple stirrers are fixedly connected to the bottom of each connector. A box bottom is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rice washing tank, and a filter screen is fixedly connected to the top of the box bottom. A discharge port is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the bottom of the box bottom, and a water outlet is fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the box bottom. A water inlet is fixedly connected to the left side of the rice washing tank. A disassembly mechanism makes disassembly and maintenance of the sieve plate more convenient.

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent cannot remove the bran contained in the rice during washing, and the bran will be discharged along with the rice after washing, which seriously reduces the quality of washing. Therefore, a new device needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

At this time, the check plate 108 rotates under the gravity of the counterweight 109, closing the check seat 107 and preventing the clean water from flowing into the overflow tank 102 along the return pipe 103. After washing, the inlet valve 205 is opened, allowing the clean water to flow back into the basket 301 and submerge the limiting edge 302, driving the bran into the overflow tank 102. Then, the inlet valve 205 is closed, and the waste discharge valve 105 is opened, allowing the wastewater and gravel in the container 101 to be discharged from the waste discharge pipe 104. When the pressure in the container 101 is lower than the pressure in the return pipe 103, the wastewater containing bran in the overflow tank 102 pushes the check plate 108 to open, flowing into the container 101 from the return pipe 103 and being discharged from the waste discharge pipe 104 together.

[0028] In this embodiment: the water circulation component includes a water pump 201, the inlet end of which is connected to the tank body 101 and is equipped with a filter head 202, and the outlet end of the water pump 201 is equipped with a water conveying mechanism; the water conveying mechanism includes a three-way pipe 203 installed at the outlet end of the water pump 201, a swivel seat 206 installed on the top of the three-way pipe 203, an outlet pipe 207 rotatably installed on the swivel seat 206, an inlet pipe 204 installed on the side of the three-way pipe 203, and an inlet valve 205 installed on the inlet pipe 204; the outlet pipe 207 is L-shaped, and the outlet of the outlet pipe 207 faces directly towards Center of the container body 101; under the support of the rotary seat 206, rotate the water outlet pipe 207 so that the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 207 is above the basket body 301, open the water inlet valve 205, so that clean water flows into the three-way pipe 203 through the water inlet pipe 204 and flows out from the water outlet pipe 207 to rinse the rice in the basket body 301. After reaching the rinsing water level, close the water inlet valve 205 and start the water pump 201. The water pump 201 draws water from the container body 101 through the filter head 202 and flows back to the top of the container body 101 through the three-way pipe 203 and the water outlet pipe 207 to rinse the rice.

[0029] In this embodiment: the basket assembly includes a basket body 301, a filter screen 303 is provided at the bottom of the basket body 301, and a limiting edge 302 is provided at the top of the basket body 301. Two handles 304 are symmetrically installed on the limiting edge 302. The filter screen 303 is a cylindrical shape with an open top, and the top is riveted to the basket body 301. First, rice is poured into the basket body 301, and then the handles 304 are held to insert the basket body 301 into the box cylinder 101. The top surface of the box cylinder 101 supports the basket body 301 through the limiting edge 302. When the water level is high enough to submerge the rice, the rice in the basket body 301 is continuously stirred and washed, and the sand and gravel pass through the filter screen 303 and are deposited at the bottom of the box cylinder 101.

[0030] Working principle: First, pour rice into the basket body 301. Then, holding the handle 304, insert the basket body 301 into the box body 101. The top surface of the box body 101 supports the basket body 301 through the limiting edge 302. Then, under the support of the rotary seat 206, rotate the water outlet pipe 207 so that the outlet of the water outlet pipe 207 is above the basket body 301. Open the water inlet valve 205 so that clean water flows into the three-way pipe 203 through the water inlet pipe 204 and flows out from the water outlet pipe 207, rinsing the rice in the basket body 301. Rice and clean water flow through the filter screen 303 at the bottom of the basket 301 into the tank 101 and collect until the water level completely submerges the rice, reaching the washing water level. (The check valve 108 rotates under the weight of the counterweight 109, closing the check seat 107 and preventing clean water from flowing into the overflow tank 102 along the return pipe 103.) At this time, the inlet valve 205 is closed, and the water pump 201 is started. The water pump 201 draws water from the tank 101 through the filter head 202 and discharges it through the three-way pipe 203 and the outlet. Water pipe 207 flows back to the top of the container body 101 to rinse the rice, while simultaneously stirring the rice inside the washing basket 301. Gravel passes through the filter screen 303 and settles to the bottom of the container body 101, while bran floats on the surface. After rinsing, the water pump 201 is turned off, and the inlet valve 205 is opened to allow clean water to flow back into the basket body 301 and submerge the limiting edge 302, carrying the bran into the overflow tank 102. Then, the inlet valve 205 is closed, and the waste discharge valve 105 is opened to allow the rice inside the container body 101 to drain. Wastewater and gravel are discharged from the waste discharge pipe 104. When the pressure inside the tank body 101 is lower than the pressure inside the return water pipe 103, the wastewater containing bran in the overflow tank 102 pushes the check plate 108 to open, flows into the tank body 101 from the return water pipe 103, and is discharged from the waste discharge pipe 104 together. Finally, under the support of the rotary seat 206, the outlet pipe 207 is rotated so that the outlet pipe 207 is rotated out of the tank body 101. The basket body 301 is pulled out by the handle 304 and the washed rice inside is poured out.
