Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zongzi (sticky rice dumpling) production, and in particular to a rice washing machine used in zongzi production. Background Technology

[0002] Zongzi, a type of rice dumpling, is a traditional Chinese food made by wrapping glutinous rice in bamboo leaves and steaming it. As one of the traditional foods with the deepest historical and cultural heritage in China, zongzi requires a series of processes in its production, including washing, wrapping, steaming, and packaging. Among these processes, washing the glutinous rice is particularly important and requires the use of a rice washing device.

[0003] The applicant found through a search that a Chinese patent discloses a "rice washing machine for zongzi production" with the publication number "CN222326029U". This patent mainly uses a cleaning mechanism to remove impurities from the surface of glutinous rice by shaking water during stirring. It does not require manual rotation during use, reducing the consumption of manpower and ensuring the stirring frequency, thus ensuring the cleaning effect and increasing the practicality and applicability of the equipment.

[0004] The above-mentioned device can improve the cleaning effect and the practicality of the equipment through a series of structural settings. However, the above-mentioned device still has significant defects in actual application: during the glutinous rice washing process, the glutinous rice is always static and relies solely on the power of the water flow to separate impurities. This passive cleaning method results in a limited contact area between rice grains, low impurity removal efficiency, and there may be problems with light impurities such as bran powder and debris remaining due to the static state of the rice grains. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rice washing machine for zongzi production, so as to solve the problem of low efficiency in removing impurities during the washing of glutinous rice in the aforementioned device mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rice washing machine for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), comprising a base, a main body fixedly connected to the top surface of the base, and a mesh bucket disposed inside the main body. A sealing cover is hinged to the top of the main body, and a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sealing cover. An mounting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mesh bucket, and a cover plate is hinged to the mounting plate. A transmission component is provided on one side of the main body, which can cause the mesh bucket to rotate evenly by rotation. An auxiliary component is provided on one side of the surface of the main body, which can rotate in the opposite direction to the mesh bucket to improve the contact between glutinous rice and water.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first bracket, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the body, and a brake motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission assembly further includes a first drive gear, one side of which is rotatably connected to one side of the body surface, and the other side of which is fixedly connected to the output end of the brake motor.

[0009] Preferably, the transmission assembly further includes a first driven gear, one side of which meshes with one side of the first driving gear, and one side of the first driven gear is fixedly connected to one end of the mesh drum.

[0010] Preferably, the transmission assembly further includes a limiting groove, which is formed on one side of the inner wall of the main body. A limiting ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and one side of the limiting ring is fixedly connected to one end of the mesh barrel.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes a stirring rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the mesh barrel, and the other end of which passes through one side of the inner wall of the mesh barrel and extends to the surface of the body. The rod wall is connected to the inner wall of the body through a bearing.

[0012] Preferably, the auxiliary component further includes a second bracket, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the main body, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second bracket, a second drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, one side of the second drive gear is rotatably connected to one side of the main body surface, a second driven gear is meshed with one side of the second drive gear, and one side of the second driven gear is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod extending to the main body surface.

[0013] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main body, an observation window is provided on one side of the main body, and a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing cover.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a transmission component in the main body, this utility model can drive the mesh bucket to rotate at a uniform speed, so that the glutinous rice rolls with the bucket and rubs against the water flow, which greatly increases the dynamic contact frequency between rice grains. By setting an auxiliary component that rotates in the opposite direction to the mesh bucket, the components on the auxiliary component form a reverse stirring effect inside the mesh bucket, which further enhances the turbulence intensity of the water flow, forcing light impurities such as bran powder and debris to separate from the rice grains and be quickly discharged. This effectively solves the problem of impurity residue caused by traditional static washing. The synergistic effect of the two achieves efficient washing of glutinous rice in a dynamic bidirectional flow field, which significantly improves the impurity removal efficiency and washing uniformity.

[0020] 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. Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rice washing machine for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) according to the first aspect of this utility model includes a base 8, a body 1 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 8, and a mesh bucket 12 disposed inside the body 1. A sealing cover 4 is hinged to the top of the body 1, and a water inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the sealing cover 4. An installation plate 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mesh bucket 12, and a cover plate 11 is hinged to the installation plate 10. A transmission component 2 is provided on one side of the body 1, which can cause the mesh bucket 12 to rotate evenly by rotation. An auxiliary component 3 is provided on one side of the surface of the body 1, which can rotate in the opposite direction to the mesh bucket 12 to improve the contact between glutinous rice and water.

[0022] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: by setting the transmission component 2 in the main body 1, the mesh bucket 12 can be driven to rotate at a uniform speed, so that the glutinous rice rolls with the bucket body and rubs against the water flow, which greatly increases the dynamic contact frequency between rice grains. By setting the auxiliary component 3 that rotates in the opposite direction to the mesh bucket 12, the components on the auxiliary component 3 form a reverse stirring effect inside the mesh bucket 12, which further enhances the turbulence intensity of the water flow, forcing light impurities such as bran powder and debris to separate from the rice grains and be discharged quickly, effectively solving the problem of impurity residue caused by traditional static washing. The synergistic effect of the two achieves efficient washing of glutinous rice in a dynamic bidirectional flow field, significantly improving the impurity removal efficiency and washing uniformity. Example 2

[0023] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a rice washing machine for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. In addition, the transmission component 2 includes a first bracket 201, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1. A brake motor 202 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first bracket 201. The transmission component 2 also includes a first driving gear 203, one side of which is rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the main body 1. One side of the first driving gear 203 is fixedly connected to the output end of the brake motor 202. The transmission component 2 also includes a first driven gear 204, one side of which is meshed with one side of the first driving gear 203. One side of the first driven gear 204 is fixedly connected to one end of the mesh bucket 12. The transmission component 2 also includes a limiting groove 206, which is opened on one side of the inner wall of the main body 1. A limiting ring 205 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 206. One side of the limiting ring 205 is fixedly connected to one end of the mesh bucket 12.

[0024] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: When the brake motor 202 starts, the output end drives the first active gear 203 to rotate, and drives the first driven gear 204 to rotate through gear meshing. Since the first driven gear 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the mesh bucket 12, the mesh bucket 12 starts to rotate at a constant speed inside the body 1. The glutinous rice generates centrifugal motion during the rotation of the mesh bucket 12. The rice grains continuously generate dynamic friction with the water flow and the inner wall of the mesh bucket 12, accelerating the peeling of impurities attached to the surface. The matching design of the limiting ring 205 and the limiting groove 206 makes the mesh bucket 12 accurately positioned along the axial direction when rotating, avoiding the phenomenon of bucket body displacement caused by centrifugal force, and ensuring that the glutinous rice forms a stable tumbling flow state in the mesh bucket 12. This transmission structure transforms traditional static cleaning into dynamic centrifugal cleaning, effectively improving the cleaning efficiency. At the same time, the gear transmission mechanism, together with the precise start and stop control of the brake motor 202, realizes the uniformity and stability of the rotation speed of the mesh bucket 12, avoiding mechanical damage to the rice grains caused by sudden changes in rotation speed. Example 3

[0025] like Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, a rice washing machine for making zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) includes all the contents of Embodiment 2. In addition, the auxiliary component 3 includes a stirring rod 305. One end of the stirring rod 305 is rotatably connected to one side of the inner wall of the mesh barrel 12, and the other end of the stirring rod 305 passes through the mesh barrel 12 and one side of the inner wall of the body 1 and extends to the surface of the body 1. The rod wall of the stirring rod 305 is connected to the inner wall of the body 1 through a bearing. The auxiliary component 3 also includes a second bracket 301. One side of the second bracket 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the body 1. A transmission motor 302 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second bracket 301. A second driving gear 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the transmission motor 302. One side of the second driving gear 303 is rotatably connected to one side of the surface of the body 1. A second driven gear 304 is meshed with one side of the second driving gear 303. One side of the second driven gear 304 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring rod 305 that extends to the surface of the body 1.

[0026] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiment is as follows: When the drive motor 302 drives the second driving gear 303 to rotate, the meshing second driven gear 304 drives the stirring rod 305 that passes through the mesh barrel 12 to rotate at high speed in the opposite direction to the mesh barrel 12. At this time, the mesh barrel 12 rotates in the forward uniform speed under the drive of the transmission component 2. While the glutinous rice rolls with the mesh barrel 12, the reverse stirring of the stirring rod 305 forms a strong shear flow field inside the mesh barrel 12, which increases the intensity of water turbulence and significantly increases the collision frequency between rice grains, thereby improving the efficiency of glutinous rice washing. Example 4

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a rice washing machine for making zongzi includes all the contents of Embodiment 3. In addition, a drain pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the main body 1, an observation window 7 is provided on one side of the main body 1, and a handle 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the sealing cover 4.

[0028] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiments are as follows: the water used for rinsing rice can be drained by setting the drain pipe 9; the internal condition of the main body 1 can be observed by the observation window 7; and the sealing cover 4 can be easily opened by the handle 6.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
