Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rice processing equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for rice processing. Background Technology

[0002] Rice is a common food in people's lives. Rice needs to be washed during processing. Washing can remove dust, impurities and possible pesticide residues attached to the surface of rice. At the same time, it can remove rice husks mixed in with rice, ensuring the hygiene, safety and purity of rice, and providing a safe guarantee for people to eat.

[0003] Current rice washing equipment involves placing rice in a container and stirring it during use. However, the rice piled at the bottom of the container is difficult to turn over, resulting in rice husks remaining in the rice. Furthermore, the washed rice husks float on the water surface, requiring continuous manual collection, which increases the labor intensity. To address this issue, we provide a rice washing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cleaning device for rice processing to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0005] The purpose and effect of this utility model for a rice processing cleaning device are achieved by the following specific technical means: A rice processing cleaning device includes a cleaning cylinder with a hemispherical bottom. The cleaning cylinder has a turning structure for turning the rice inside. The top of the cleaning cylinder has a scooping component for collecting rice husks. The scooping component includes a hanging plate above the cleaning cylinder. A motor is installed on the upper surface of the hanging plate. A small gear is installed at the output end of the motor. A large gear meshes with one side of the small gear. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the large gear. The bottom end of the rotating rod passes through the hanging plate and is fixedly connected to a scooping frame. The outer surface of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the hanging plate. A filter screen is installed inside the scooping frame.

[0006] Preferably, the agitation structure includes a motor mounted on the outer surface of the cleaning drum, a rotating shaft mounted on the output end of the motor, the other end of the rotating shaft extending into the interior of the cleaning drum and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cleaning drum, and a water-permeable flap that is adapted to the bottom wall of the cleaning drum is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the salvage assembly further includes an arc-shaped filter plate fixedly connected to the front of the salvage frame, and the left end of the arc-shaped filter plate slides in contact with the inner wall of the washing cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom surface of the hanging plate is fixedly connected to two inserts, each insert is fitted with an insert frame, and the bottom surface of each insert frame is connected to the upper surface of the cleaning cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning cylinder has two semi-circular covers on its upper surface, and each semi-circular cover has a handle fixedly connected to its upper surface.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning cylinder is provided with a frame, and a set of connecting shafts are rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame. The ends of the two connecting shafts that are close to each other are connected to the outer surface of the cleaning cylinder. A hydraulic push rod is hinged to the bottom surface of the frame, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic push rod is hinged to the outer surface of the cleaning cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom surface of the cleaning cylinder is provided with a drain outlet, and a sealing plug is provided inside the drain outlet.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The set-up turning structure can turn the rice piled at the bottom of the washing drum. During the turning process, the rice comes into full contact with the water. With the buoyancy of the water and the impact force of the water flow generated by the turning of the blades, the originally piled rice gradually floats in the water and becomes dispersed. At the same time, the rice husk will move upward rapidly due to the buoyancy, while the dispersed floating rice will fall automatically under the combined action of gravity and water flow. During the falling process, the rice and rice husk will further separate, and the rice husk will continue to float to the water surface, which greatly improves the separation efficiency of rice husk and rice.

[0014] 2. Through the set retrieval components, when the retrieval frame rotates, the rice husks floating on the water surface enter the retrieval frame. At the same time, the retrieval frame will drive the arc-shaped filter plate to rotate. The arc-shaped filter plate can effectively guide the water flow on the edge of the washing cylinder. When the rice husks move with the water flow to the edge of the washing cylinder, the arc-shaped filter plate guides the rice husks, so that the rice husks on the edge side can smoothly enter the retrieval frame. This replaces the traditional manual retrieval method, reduces the intensity of manual labor, and also improves the cleaning effect of rice husks. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 With appendix Figure 4 As shown: A rice washing device includes a washing cylinder 1 with a hemispherical bottom. Two semi-circular covers 4 are mounted on top of the washing cylinder 1, each with a handle fixedly connected to its upper surface. The semi-circular covers 4 can seal the top of the washing cylinder 1 to prevent debris from falling into the washing cylinder 1 during rice washing. The washing cylinder 1 has a turning structure 2 for turning the rice inside. The turning structure 2 includes a motor 201 mounted on the outer surface of the washing cylinder 1. A rotating shaft 202 is mounted on the output end of the motor 201. The other end of the rotating shaft 202 extends into the washing cylinder 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1. A fitting adapted to the inner bottom wall of the washing cylinder 1 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 202. The permeable flap 203, driven by the motor 201 and the rotating shaft 202, flips the rice. During the flipping process, the rice comes into full contact with the water. Due to the buoyancy of the water and the impact force of the water flow generated by the flapping of the blades, the originally piled rice gradually floats in the water and becomes dispersed. At the same time, due to the density difference between rice and rice husks, the rice husks mixed in with the rice will move upward rapidly due to buoyancy. The dispersed floating rice will automatically fall under the combined action of gravity and water flow. During the falling process, the rice and rice husks will further separate, and the rice husks will continue to float to the water surface, which greatly improves the separation efficiency of rice husks and rice and further ensures the effect of removing rice husks from rice.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 3As shown: A rice husk collection assembly 3 is installed at the top of the washing cylinder 1. The collection assembly 3 includes a hanging plate 301 above the washing cylinder 1. A motor 302 is installed on the upper surface of the hanging plate 301. A small gear 303 is installed at the output end of the motor 302. A large gear 304 meshes with one side of the small gear 303. A rotating rod 305 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the large gear 304. The bottom end of the rotating rod 305 passes through the hanging plate 301 and is fixedly connected to a collection frame 306. The outer surface of the rotating rod 305 is rotatably connected to the hanging plate 301. A filter screen 307 is installed inside the collection frame 306. When the motor 302 works, the small gear 303 drives the large gear 304 to rotate. Simultaneously, the rotating rod 305 will drive the retrieval frame 306 to rotate, and the retrieval frame 306 will collect the floating rice husks on the water surface. The retrieval component 3 also includes an arc-shaped filter plate 308 fixedly connected to the front of the retrieval frame 306, and the left end of the arc-shaped filter plate 308 slides in contact with the inner wall of the washing cylinder 1. When the retrieval frame 306 rotates, it will simultaneously drive the arc-shaped filter plate 308 to rotate on the edge side of the washing cylinder 1. Its unique arc can effectively guide the water flow on the edge side of the washing cylinder 1. When the rice husks move with the water flow to the edge of the washing cylinder 1, the arc-shaped filter plate 308 guides the rice husks and introduces them into the trajectory range of the retrieval frame 306, so that the rice husks on the edge side can smoothly enter the retrieval frame 306.

[0024] As attached Figure 3 As shown: Two inserts 309 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the hanging plate 301. Each insert 309 is fitted with an insert frame 310. The bottom surface of each insert frame 310 is connected to the upper surface of the washing cylinder 1. By using the cooperation between the inserts 309 and the insert frames 310, the hanging plate 301 can be stabilized, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the rice husk retrieval work.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 With appendix Figure 2 As shown: The bottom surface of the washing cylinder 1 has a drain outlet 8, and a filter plate is installed inside the drain outlet 8 to prevent rice from falling. A sealing plug 9 is installed inside the drain outlet 8. After opening the sealing plug 9, the water used to wash the rice will be discharged. The washing cylinder 1 is equipped with a frame 5. A set of connecting shafts 6 are rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame 5. The ends of the two connecting shafts 6 that are close to each other are connected to the outer surface of the washing cylinder 1. A hydraulic push rod 7 is hinged to the bottom surface of the frame 5. The telescopic end of the hydraulic push rod 7 is hinged to the outer surface of the washing cylinder 1. By controlling the extension of the hydraulic push rod 7, the washing cylinder 1 can be pushed to deflect at a certain angle around the connecting shaft 6, which makes it convenient for the staff to take out the rice inside the washing cylinder 1.

[0026] Working principle: When in use, pour rice into the washing drum 1, then insert the insert block 309 into the insert frame 310, and then pour in an appropriate amount of water to submerge part of the retrieval frame 306. Then control the motor 201 to work, which will drive the rotating shaft 202 to rotate. At the same time, the water-permeable flap 203 will turn the rice at the bottom of the washing drum 1, allowing the rice to float in the water and fall automatically. Meanwhile, the rice husks mixed in with the rice will automatically float to the surface. Then start the motor 302 to work, which will drive the small gear 303 to rotate. The small gear 303 will drive the large gear 304 to rotate, and the rotating rod 305 will drive the retrieval frame 306 to rotate. The rice husks floating on the water surface will enter the retrieval frame 306, replacing the manual work of continuously collecting rice husks and reducing the labor intensity.
