[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 A washing device for plastic rice includes a washing tank 1, a washing cage 2 movably disposed inside the washing tank 1, a cover 3 movably disposed on the upper end of the washing cage 2, a drive chamber 4 disposed inside the cover 3, a first gear 5 fixedly disposed inside the drive chamber 4, a turntable 6 rotatably disposed inside the drive chamber 4 via bearings, two stirring shafts 7 rotatably disposed on the turntable 6 via bearings, a second gear 8 fixedly disposed at one end of the stirring shaft 7, the second gear 8 meshing with the first gear 5, a plurality of stirring rods 9 fixedly disposed at the other end of the stirring shaft 7 passing through the turntable 6, and a first motor 10 fixedly disposed on the cover 3, the drive end of the first motor 10 rotatably connected to the first gear 5, and the drive end of the first motor 10 passing through the first gear 5 and fixedly connected to the turntable 6.
[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to clean the plastic rice in the cleaning cage 2, the cleaning tank 1 is filled with cleaning liquid. The first motor 10 is started, and the first motor 10 drives the turntable 6 to rotate. The turntable 6 drives the two stirring shafts 7 to rotate with the turntable 6. The stirring shafts 7 drive the second gear 8 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 and the second gear 8 are meshed, the second gear 8 rotates on its own axis while rotating with the turntable 6. The second gear 8 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 7 drives the stirring rod 9 to rotate. This allows the stirring rod 9 to rotate on its own axis while rotating with the turntable 6, thus expanding the stirring range and reducing the stirring dead zones.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-5As one implementation method for discharging washed plastic rice: A rotating arm 11 is fixedly installed on the washing cage 2. The rotating arm 11 is L-shaped and one end is hinged to the washing box 1. A connecting arm 12 is fixedly installed on the outside of the washing cage 2. The connecting arm 12 is L-shaped. The washing box 1 has two fixing slots 13. A bidirectional screw 14 is rotatably installed in each fixing slot 13. One end of the bidirectional screw 14 passes through the washing box 1 and is fixedly installed with a handle 15. A fixing block 16 is movably installed in each fixing slot 13. The fixing block 16 is threaded to the bidirectional screw 14. One end of the fixing block 16 is inserted into the connecting arm 12. A lifting shell 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the washing box 1. The lower end of the lifting shell 17... A second motor 18 is fixedly installed. The drive end of the second motor 18 extends into the lifting shell 17 and is fixedly installed with a screw 19. The screw 19 is rotatably connected to the lifting shell 17. A lifting rod 20 is threadedly connected to the screw 19. A rotating shell 21 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the lifting rod 20 through the lifting shell 17. A rotating column 22 is rotatably installed inside the rotating shell 21. Multiple tooth blocks 23 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating column 22. A third motor 24 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the rotating shell 21. The drive end of the third motor 24 extends into the rotating shell 21 and is fixedly installed with a third gear 25 that cooperates with the tooth blocks 23. A rotating plate 26 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the rotating column 22 through the rotating shell 21. The rotating plate 26 is fixedly connected to the cover 3.
[0031] More specifically, before washing the plastic rice, the plastic rice to be washed is placed in the washing cage 2. The second motor 18 is started, and the second motor 18 drives the screw 19 to rotate. Since the screw 19 is threadedly connected to the lifting rod 20, the lifting rod 20 moves upward along the lifting shell 17. The lifting rod 20 drives the rotating shell 21 to move, the rotating shell 21 drives the rotating plate 26 to move, and the rotating plate 26 drives the cover 3 to move, so that the cover 3 covers the upper end of the washing cage 2. After the plastic rice is washed, the reverse operation is used to separate the cover 3 from the washing cage 2. At the same time, the cover 3 drives the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring rod 9 to move out of the washing cage 2. The third motor 24 is started, and the third motor 24 drives the third gear... When wheel 25 rotates, the third gear 25 drives the rotating column 22 to rotate through multiple tooth blocks 23. The rotating column 22 drives the rotating plate 26 to rotate, and the rotating plate 26 drives the cover 3 to rotate, so that the cover 3 drives the stirring shaft 7 and the stirring rod 9 to rotate to the outside of the cleaning tank 1. Turn the handle 15, and the handle 15 drives the double-acting screw 14 to rotate. Since the double-acting screw 14 is provided with two threaded areas in opposite directions, the two fixing blocks 16 move in the direction of separation. One end of the fixing block 16 separates from the connecting arm 12. At this time, the fixing of the connecting arm 12 is released, and the connecting arm 12 is pulled. The connecting arm 12 drives the cleaning cage 2 and the rotating arm 11 to rotate, thereby pouring out the cleaned plastic rice in the cleaning cage 2.
[0032] In summary, during the use or operation of the entire equipment: Before cleaning the plastic rice, place the plastic rice to be cleaned into the cleaning cage 2, start the second motor 18, and the second motor 18 drives the screw 19 to rotate. Since the screw 19 is threadedly connected to the lifting rod 20, the lifting rod 20 moves upward along the lifting shell 17. The lifting rod 20 drives the rotating shell 21 to move, the rotating shell 21 drives the rotating plate 26 to move, and the rotating plate 26 drives the cover 3 to move, so that the cover 3 covers the upper end of the cleaning cage 2. The cleaning tank 1 is filled with cleaning liquid. Start the first motor 10, and the first motor 10 drives the turntable 6 to rotate. The turntable 6 drives the two stirring shafts 7 to rotate with the turntable 6. The stirring shafts 7 drive the second gear 8 to rotate. Since the first gear 5 and the second gear 8 are meshed, the second gear 8 rotates on its own axis while rotating with the turntable 6. The second gear 8 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate, and the stirring shaft 7 drives the stirring rod 9 to rotate, so that the stirring rod 9 rotates on its own axis while rotating with the turntable 6, thus expanding the stirring range and reducing the stirring dead corners.
[0033] After the plastic rice is washed, the opposite operation is used to separate the cover 3 from the washing cage 2. At the same time, the cover 3 moves the stirring shaft 7 and stirring rod 9 out of the washing cage 2. The third motor 24 is started, and the third motor 24 drives the third gear 25 to rotate. The third gear 25 drives the rotating column 22 to rotate through multiple tooth blocks 23. The rotating column 22 drives the rotating plate 26 to rotate. The rotating plate 26 drives the cover 3 to rotate, so that the cover 3 drives the stirring shaft 7 and stirring rod 9 to rotate to the outside of the washing tank 1. Turn the handle 15, and the handle 15 drives the bidirectional lead screw 14 to rotate. Since the bidirectional lead screw 14 is provided with two threaded areas in opposite directions, the two fixing blocks 16 move in the direction of separation. One end of the fixing block 16 separates from the connecting arm 12. At this time, the fixing of the connecting arm 12 is released. Pull the connecting arm 12, and the connecting arm 12 drives the washing cage 2 and the rotating arm 11 to rotate, thereby pouring out the washed plastic rice in the washing cage 2.
