Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically a rice-dispersing mechanism for a rice dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] In canteens, restaurants, and other places, rice dispensing machines are widely used to distribute rice in order to improve the efficiency of rice dispensing. However, rice tends to clump together after cooking. Existing rice dispensing machines have difficulty breaking up the clumps of rice during the dispensing process, resulting in uneven portions and affecting the dining experience. At the same time, the clumps of rice may also clog the discharge port of the rice dispensing machine, reducing its working efficiency and increasing equipment maintenance costs. Therefore, it is necessary to use a breaking mechanism to break up the rice.
[0003] Rice can be broken up using a breaking-up mechanism. However, existing breaking-up mechanisms have relatively fixed and singular movement positions, which can easily create dead corners on the inner wall of the container. This prevents the breaking-up mechanism from fully breaking up the rice in the container. As a result, the unbroken clumps of rice will directly enter the rice distribution stage along with the other broken-up rice, causing uneven portions during distribution and making it inconvenient for staff to use. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0015] 1. This utility model utilizes a motor, connecting rod, transmission disc rod, and dispersing rod in conjunction. When the motor starts, the output end drives the connecting rod to rotate synchronously. The transmission disc rod is installed on the outer side of the connecting rod near the toothed disc, and the transmission disc rod and the toothed disc form a meshing transmission relationship. When the connecting rod rotates with the output shaft of the motor, the transmission disc rod, under the action of the teeth of the toothed disc, not only makes a circular motion with the connecting rod, but also generates its own rotational motion, realizing a compound motion of revolution and rotation. This compound motion is transmitted to the dispersing rod at the bottom through the transmission disc rod, so that the dispersing rod operates in the same compound motion mode inside the dispersing tank. The rice entering the dispersing tank is further processed under the compound motion of the dispersing rod. The revolution motion of the dispersing rod expands the dispersing range, ensuring that rice in different areas of the tank can be touched, while the rotational motion efficiently breaks up rice clumps through the shearing force and impact force generated by high-speed rotation, completely breaking the clumps into a loose state, which is beneficial for personnel to use.
[0016] 2. This utility model uses a fixed frame, a spiral assembly, and a feeding pipe in combination. The rice to be dispersed is fed into the dispersing mechanism through the feeding pipe. The feeding pipe guides the rice to flow into the fixed frame. The spiral assembly inside the fixed frame rotates continuously. When the rice enters the fixed frame, the blades of the spiral assembly generate pushing and shearing forces through rotation, gradually loosening the clumps of rice and evenly conveying the initially dispersed rice to the container under the cover plate, thus facilitating better dispersing of the rice in subsequent devices.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;
[0025] Example:
[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 5 Please refer to the rice-dispersing mechanism of the rice dispenser provided in this application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The system includes a support 1, a dispersing tank body 5 installed at the bottom inner part of the support 1, a dispersing mechanism 6 installed at one end of the top of the dispersing tank body 5, a connecting frame 4 installed at the center of the top of the dispersing tank body 5, a support 1 connected to one side of the connecting frame 4, a gear plate 2 fixedly installed at the top inner part of the support 1, a motor 3 installed at the top of the support 1, a connecting rod 301 installed at the output end of the motor 3 through the inside of the gear plate 2, a transmission rod 302 installed near the outside of the connecting rod 301, a dispersing rod 303 installed at the bottom end of the transmission rod 302, and the dispersing rod 303 located inside the dispersing tank body 5.
[0027] Specifically, the main body 5 of the rice mixing tank is installed at the inner bottom of the support 1, serving as the working space for mixing rice. The motor 3 at the top of the support 1 is the power source, and its output end passes through the toothed disc 2 fixedly installed at the inner top and extends downwards to provide continuous power for the mixing operation. One end of the connecting frame 4 is connected to the support 1, and the other end is fixed to the center of the top of the main body 5 of the rice mixing tank, further enhancing the connection stability between the main body 5 of the rice mixing tank and the support 1, and preventing the structure from loosening due to vibration during operation. After the motor 3 starts, the output end drives the connecting rod 301 to rotate synchronously. A transmission disc rod 302 is installed on the outer side of the connecting rod 301 near the toothed disc 2. The transmission disc rod 302 and the toothed disc 2 form a meshing transmission relationship. When the connecting rod 301 rotates with the output shaft of the motor 3, the transmission disc rod 302, under the action of the teeth of the toothed disc 2, not only rotates with the connecting rod 301 but also... The circular motion also generates its own rotational motion, realizing a composite motion of revolution and rotation. This composite motion is transmitted to the dispersing rod 303 at the bottom through the transmission disc rod 302, so that the dispersing rod 303 operates in the same composite motion mode inside the dispersing tank body 5. The rice to be dispersed is transported into the dispersing tank body 5 through the dispersing mechanism 6 at the top end of the dispersing tank body 5. The dispersing mechanism 6 can initially disperse the rice entering the tank body 5. The rice entering the dispersing tank body 5 is further processed under the action of the composite motion of the dispersing rod 303. The revolution motion of the dispersing rod 303 expands the dispersing range, ensuring that rice in different areas of the tank can be touched, while the rotation motion efficiently breaks up the rice clumps through the shearing force and impact force generated by the high-speed rotation, completely dispersing the clumps into a loose state.
[0028] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two sets of telescopic rods 7 are symmetrically installed on the inner bottom of the bracket 1. A fixing ring 701 is installed on the moving end of the telescopic rod 7. The body of the dispersing tank 5 is connected inside the fixing ring 701.
[0029] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A limiting block 702 is installed on the side of the fixing ring 701, and the limiting block 702 moves to the outside of the bracket 1.
[0030] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The main body of the dispersing tank 5 includes a container tank 501 disposed inside a fixing ring 701. A cover plate 502 is installed on the top of the container tank 501, and a dispersing mechanism 6 is connected to one side of the top of the cover plate 502.
[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bottom of container 501 is equipped with a discharge pipe 5011.
[0032] Specifically, to prevent rice from splattering when dispersed, two sets of telescopic rods 7 symmetrically installed at the bottom of the bracket 1 provide an adjustable support and fixing structure for the main body 5 of the dispersing can. The moving end of the telescopic rod 7 is connected to the fixing ring 701. The container 501, as the core component of the main body 5 of the dispersing can, is fixed inside the fixing ring 701, achieving an indirect connection with the bracket 1. The top of the cover plate 502 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 4. The container 501 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 701. The container 501 and the cover plate 502 are in a separate state. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the container 501, the length is changed by the moving end of the telescopic rod 7. The fixing ring 701 rises and falls synchronously with the moving end, driving the container 501 to adjust. When adjusted to the appropriate height, during the adjustment process, the limiting block 702 on the side of the fixed ring 701 moves along the outside of the bracket 1, which not only guides the lifting and lowering of the fixed ring 701, but also restricts the shaking of the fixed ring 701 by fitting with the bracket 1, ensuring that the container 501 remains stable during adjustment and operation. Before the rice is broken up, the container 501 is adjusted to a height that matches the breaking up rod 303 by the telescopic rod 7, so that the bottom end of the breaking up rod 303 can move fully inside the container 501 to break up the rice finely. The cover plate 502 can prevent the rice from splashing during the breaking up process. After breaking up, the rice is discharged through the discharge pipe 5011 at the bottom of the container 501 and enters the next stage of the rice dispensing machine.
[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 1 and Figure 5 The dispersing mechanism 6 includes a fixing frame 601 disposed on one side of the top of the cover plate 502. A spiral assembly 602 is rotatably mounted inside the fixing frame 601, and a feed pipe 603 is installed at one end of the top of the fixing frame 601.
[0034] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3 and Figure 4 A connecting frame 4 is connected to the center of the top of the cover plate 502. A ball bearing 401 is installed inside the connecting frame 4, and a transmission disc rod 302 is connected inside the ball bearing 401.
[0035] Specifically, to achieve initial dispersion of the rice, the fixing frame 601 of the dispersion mechanism 6 is installed on one side of the top of the cover plate 502, providing stable installation support for the spiral assembly 602. The rice to be dispersed enters the dispersion mechanism 6 through the feed pipe 603 at one end of the top of the fixing frame 601. The feed pipe 603 guides the rice to flow directionally into the fixing frame 601. The spiral assembly 602, which is rotated inside the fixing frame 601, rotates continuously under the power of an external motor. When the rice enters the fixing frame 601, the blades of the spiral assembly 602 generate pushing and shearing forces through rotation, gradually loosening the clumps of rice and evenly conveying the initially dispersed rice to the container 501 below the cover plate 502. The connecting frame 4 is connected to the center of the top of the cover plate 502. Not only does it connect the support 1 to the main body 5 of the dispersing container, but the ball bearing 401 installed inside further enhances the stability of the transmission system. The transmission rod 302 passes through and connects to the ball bearing 401. When the transmission rod 302 performs a combined revolution and rotation motion under the drive of the motor 3, the ball bearing 401 can effectively reduce the frictional resistance between the transmission rod 302 and the connecting frame 4, reducing energy loss during the motion. At the same time, the ball bearing 401 plays a precise radial positioning role for the transmission rod 302, limiting its radial offset during the motion, ensuring that the meshing accuracy between the transmission rod 302 and the gear plate 2 remains stable, avoiding abnormal movement trajectory of the dispersing rod 303 due to transmission offset, and ensuring the uniformity of rice dispersing in the container 501.
[0036] Working principle: Before use, adjust the length of the moving end of the telescopic rod 7 to drive the fixed ring 701 and the container 501 to rise and fall, so that the height of the container 501 matches the dispersing rod 303, ensuring that the bottom end of the dispersing rod 303 can move fully inside the container 501. During the adjustment process, the limiting block 702 on the side of the fixed ring 701 slides along the outside of the bracket 1. At this time, the rice to be dispersed flows into the fixed frame 601 through the feed pipe 603 of the dispersing mechanism 6. The spiral component 602 inside the fixed frame 601 rotates to initially loosen the clumps of rice. Then, the initially dispersed rice is evenly transported to the container 501 below the cover plate 502. Then, the motor 3 at the top of the bracket 1 starts, and the output end passes through the toothed disc 2 at the inner top. The connecting rod 301 rotates, and the transmission disc 302 on the outer side of the connecting rod 301 meshes with the gear disc 2. While the connecting rod 301 revolves, it rotates on its own axis due to the action of the teeth of the gear disc 2, forming a compound motion of revolution and rotation. The compound motion of the transmission disc 302 is transmitted to the dispersing rod 303 at the bottom, so that the dispersing rod 303 revolves and rotates synchronously in the container tank 501, ensuring that all areas of rice in the container tank 501 can be touched, and the residual clumps are completely broken into a loose state. At the same time, the cover plate 502 effectively prevents rice from splashing. After dispersing, the loose rice gathers to the bottom of the container tank 501 under the action of gravity and is discharged through the discharge pipe 5011 at the bottom of the container tank 501, entering the next stage of the rice dispensing machine.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
