Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of zongzi production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an oil brush mechanism for brushing oil onto zongzi leaves. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of making zongzi, in order to reduce the sticking of rice to the bamboo leaves, before wrapping the zongzi, a brush is usually used to lightly brush the inside of the bamboo leaves with salad oil or olive oil. In this way, after the zongzi is wrapped and cooked, there will be a layer of oil between the leaves and the glutinous rice, which makes them easier to separate and effectively reduces the sticking of glutinous rice to the bamboo leaves.

[0003] In traditional techniques, oil is typically applied manually using brushes, including small brushes, boar bristle paintbrushes, silicone brushes, and sponges. Workers dip the brush into a suitable amount of cooking oil and, starting from one end of the bamboo leaf, evenly apply it along the leaf's texture to the inside. However, during the oiling process, workers need to repeatedly dip the brush into the container of cooking oil, which can easily lead to arm fatigue. Furthermore, when transferring oil from the container to the bamboo leaf, excess oil can easily drip onto the ground or workbench, resulting in wasted oil and increased cleaning burden. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an oil brush mechanism for brushing oil on zongzi leaves.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An oil brush mechanism for brushing oil onto zongzi leaves includes an upper oil brush, which comprises a brush base and an upper oil roller. The brush base has an oil storage chamber for storing edible oil and an oil filling hole communicating with the oil storage chamber. A cap is detachably connected to the oil filling hole. An oil guiding channel is formed on the bottom inner wall of the oil storage chamber. The upper oil roller is rotatably connected to the oil guiding channel and extends out of the oil guiding channel. An oil-absorbing sponge is provided in the oil guiding channel, which contacts the upper oil roller. The oil-absorbing sponge corresponds to the oil storage chamber and is connected to the inner side wall of the guiding channel.

[0007] Further configured, the oil brush mechanism also includes a worktable, a movable part, and a fixed frame. The fixed frame is C-shaped, and its two ends are respectively connected to the two ends of the worktable. A sliding groove is opened on the horizontal plate of the fixed frame. A card plate connected to one end of the movable part is slidably connected in the sliding groove, and the sliding groove is engaged with the card plate. The other end of the movable part is connected to the brush holder of the upper oil brush.

[0008] Further configured, the movable part includes a guide post and a movable rod. The guide post is connected to the card plate and moves within the slide groove. The guide post has a movable groove that is movably connected to one end of the movable rod. One end of the movable rod is connected to a card block that engages with the movable groove. A spring that can move the upper brush upward is connected within the movable groove. The spring is connected to one end of the movable rod, and the other end of the movable rod is connected to the brush holder.

[0009] The oil-absorbing sponge is further configured such that it has oil-immersion holes, with the two ends of the oil-immersion holes corresponding to the oil storage chamber and the oiling roller, respectively.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0018] An oil brush mechanism for brushing oil onto zongzi leaves includes an upper oil brush 100, which comprises a brush base 1 and an oil roller 2. The brush base 1 has an oil storage chamber 101 for storing edible oil and an oil filling hole 102 communicating with the oil storage chamber 101. The oil filling hole 102 is provided with a cap 3, which is inserted into the oil filling hole 102. The cap 3 is made of elastic food-grade silicone material so that when the cap 3 is inserted into the oil filling hole 102, it abuts against the inner wall of the oil filling hole 102 to seal the oil filling hole 102, thus achieving the connection between the cap 3 and the oil filling hole. The oil storage chamber 101 is disassembled and connected by an oil guide channel 103 on the bottom inner wall. The upper oil roller 2 is rotatably connected to the oil guide channel 103 and extends out of the oil guide channel 103. An oil-absorbing sponge 4 is provided in the oil guide channel 103, which contacts the arc-shaped outer surface of the upper oil roller 2. The oil-absorbing sponge 4 corresponds to the oil storage chamber 101 and is connected to the inner side wall of the guide channel, so that the oil-absorbing sponge 4 can seal the oil guide channel 103 and prevent the edible oil in the oil storage chamber 101 from leaking directly out of the oil guide channel 103.

[0019] In use: Pull out the cap 3 forcefully, pour the cooking oil through the filling hole 102 into the oil storage chamber 101, then replace the cap 3 to seal the filling hole 102. The cooking oil in the oil storage chamber 101 is then absorbed into the oil-absorbing sponge 4 through the oil guide channel 103. This, combined with the contact between the upper oil roller 2 and the oil-absorbing sponge 4, causes the cooking oil in the oil-absorbing sponge 4 to adhere to the arc-shaped outer surface of the upper oil roller 2. When brushing oil onto the bamboo leaves, push the brush seat 1 to make the upper oil roller 2 roll on the bamboo leaves. As the upper oil roller 2 rolls, the cooking oil on the oil-absorbing sponge 4 adheres to the entire arc-shaped outer surface of the upper oil roller 2. The rolling of the upper oil roller 2 further spreads the cooking oil across the entire arc-shaped outer surface of the upper oil roller 2. The cooking oil is transferred onto the bamboo leaves to achieve the purpose of brushing oil onto the leaves. During this process, workers do not need to repeatedly dip their hands in cooking oil, which reduces arm fatigue and lightens the workload. The oiling roller 2 rolls to adhere the cooking oil on the oil-absorbing sponge 4 to the bamboo leaves, preventing excessive oil from dripping onto the roller 2. Ultimately, when workers brush oil onto the bamboo leaves, on the one hand, they avoid the problem of arm fatigue caused by repeatedly dipping their hands in cooking oil, thus reducing their workload. On the other hand, they also avoid the problem of excess cooking oil dripping onto the ground or workbench 5, which would cause oil waste and increase the cleaning burden.

[0020] The oil brush mechanism also includes a worktable 5, a movable part 6, and a fixed frame 6. The fixed frame 6 is C-shaped, and its two ends are connected to the two ends of the worktable 5, respectively. The movable part 6 includes a guide post 201 and a movable rod 202. A groove 7 is opened on the horizontal plate of the fixed frame 6. A retaining plate 8 is slidably connected in the groove 7, and the groove 7 is engaged with the retaining plate 8. The guide post 201 is fixedly connected to the retaining plate 8 and moves in the groove 7. A movable groove 9 is opened on the guide post 201 and is movably connected to one end of the movable rod 202. A retaining block 10 is connected to one end of the movable rod 202 and engages with the movable groove 9. A spring 11 that can move the upper oil brush 100 upward is fixedly connected in the movable groove 9. The spring 11 is connected to one end of the movable rod 202, and the other end of the movable rod 202 is connected to the brush seat 1. The upper oil roller 2 and the movable rod 202 are both hollow to reduce the weight of the upper oil brush 100 and the movable part 6, thereby reducing the load on the spring 11.

[0021] Place the bamboo leaves on the workbench 5, pull the brush holder 1 downward to move the movable rod 202 downward in the movable groove 9. At this time, the spring 11 extends to facilitate the smooth downward movement of the brush holder 1, so that the oil roller 2 contacts the surface of the bamboo leaves. The locking block 10 engages with the locking groove to prevent the movable rod 202 from being pulled out of the movable groove 9. It slides in the sliding groove 7 through the locking plate 8, so that the guide column 201 slides on the fixed frame 6, thereby driving the movable rod 202 and the oil brush 100 connected to the movable rod 202 to move. This causes the oil roller 2 of the oil brush 100 to roll on the surface of the bamboo leaves to brush them with oil. This avoids the need for workers to hold the oil brush 100 for a long time to brush the oil, which can cause arm fatigue. It also avoids the burden on the arms caused by the increased weight of the oil brush 100 after pouring edible oil into the oil storage chamber 101 when brushing the oil. This further reduces the labor burden on workers and also avoids the problem of edible oil dripping onto the ground during the process of dipping and transferring edible oil to the bamboo leaves.

[0022] When the oil brush 100 is not applying oil to the bamboo leaves, the worker releases the tension on the brush seat 1. At this time, the spring 11 returns to its original position, thereby causing the movable rod 202 to move upward a certain distance in the movable groove 9, which in turn causes the oil brush 100 to move upward a certain distance so that the oil roller 2 does not contact the surface of the bamboo leaves, making it easier to replace the bamboo leaves that have not been oiled and to carry out the subsequent bamboo leaf oiling work.

[0023] The oil-absorbing sponge 4 has an oil-immersion hole 12. The two ends of the oil-immersion hole 12 correspond to the oil storage chamber 101 and the oiling roller 2, respectively. This allows the edible oil in the oil storage chamber 101 to better penetrate the oil-absorbing sponge 4 and adhere to the arc-shaped outer surface of the oiling roller 2. This enables the oiling roller 2 to adhere a sufficient amount of edible oil from the oil-absorbing sponge 4 to evenly brush the zongzi leaves when it rolls on the leaves.

[0024] Both ends of the upper oil roller 2 are connected to shafts 13. Bearings corresponding to the shafts 13 are installed on the inner wall of the guide channel. The shafts 13 are rotatably connected in the guide channel through the bearings, so as to realize the rotatable connection of the upper oil roller 2 in the oil guide channel 103.

[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
