[0020]

As described above, the rice washing apparatus of the present invention can prevent the water from crossing over the upper side of the partition plate by bonding the upper side of the partition plate of the water wheel section and the lower side of the water wheel cover. Water is supplied to the washing section from the lower portion provided with the water port, and a floor plate joined to the lower end of the water port prevents water from accumulating in the water wheel section.

Further, by providing the water wheel above the water wheel portion, the water immersion portion is reduced to reduce the resistance of the rotating water wheel to water resistance. Rotation is impossible.

Further, a pin fixed to the axis A of the near basket lid on the water wheel section side and a projection provided on the axis A near the other basket lid prevent the washing basket from moving left and right. I have.

Further, the agitating plate erected on two opposite sides of the two supporting plates formed in a parallelogram rotates with an acute angle at the tip to prevent rice from escaping outward by centrifugal force. Prevent and grind efficiently and rub rice with rice for washing.

Further, by forming the stirring plate in a fine mesh shape, the resistance of water is suppressed, so that the agitating plate can be rotated even if the injection water pressure of the water supply pipe is weak. In addition, since the water passes through the mesh, Rice can be sharpened efficiently by contacting the inner surface of the stirring plate. That is, when the stirring plate is a flat plate, the rice flows backward with water and does not contact the stirring plate.

Further, by providing a resistance plate on the outer wall of the washing basket, the washing basket, which is to rotate at the same speed as the stirring plate, receives the resistance of water, performs delayed rotation, and can grind rice. In addition, the rice is exchanged between the upper and lower rice by the delayed rotation, so that all the rice can be washed. More specifically, when the stirring plate and the washing basket are rotated at the same speed, the rice is also rotated at the same speed. And the rice cannot be brought into contact with the stirring plate. In addition, the resistance plate provided on the rear side of the outer peripheral lid is intended for delayed rotation as described above,
It also plays a role of pressing the outer lid inward. By playing this role, the kick spring used for the outer lid can use a weak force.

Further, by providing the hole of the basket lid slightly closer to the outer peripheral lid than the center, when the shaft core A is loosely inserted, the washing basket without balance rotates by itself. Since it rises after drainage without buoyancy, the lack of a small error balance causes the outer peripheral lid to stop upward and rice to be input.

[0027] Further, by making the hole of the basket lid slightly closer to the outer peripheral lid than the center, it becomes possible to wash even if the washing basket rotates irregularly.

Further, by providing the outer peripheral cover on the outer periphery of the washing basket, rice can be charged at an upper portion and discharged at a lower portion.

Further, the rice overflow prevention plate is vertically provided on the lower surface of the outer peripheral cover to prevent the rice from overflowing from both ends and prevent the front surface of the outer peripheral cover when the rice is put in after the rice is opened.

When the upper lid is opened by suspending a hook-shaped hook bar on the lower surface of the upper lid, the distal end catches the protrusion of the outer peripheral lid and is simultaneously opened. By closing the upper lid, the outer peripheral lid is simultaneously closed by the kick spring.

The V-shaped rice tray provided below the washing basket is provided in a slanted shape with the discharge port side lowered, so that all the rice accumulated on the upper surface together with the water supplied from the water supply port. Let out.

Further, by pressing and releasing the outer peripheral lid stopped below by rotating the pressing rod provided on the basket lid, it becomes possible to discharge all the rice in the washing basket.

Further, the agitating plate is stopped in a vertical state by the pressing rod coming into contact with the projecting piece provided on the shaft core A to stop the stirring plate in the vertical state, thereby preventing obstruction of rice discharge.

The pins provided on the basket lid prevent the push rod from rotating excessively.

Further, when the tip of the projection bar B suspended from the shaft core D moves from the front face of the discharge port cover, the discharge port cover is opened by water pressure.

That is, by moving the tip of the opening / closing bar upward, the projecting tip of the projecting piece suspended from the axis D moves to push the rotating back surface of the pushing bar into a vertical state. One end of the pressing rod in the vertical state presses the protruding portion of the outer peripheral lid to open it downward, stops the washing basket, and the other end abuts on the projection piece provided on the shaft core A,
The stirring plate is stopped in a vertical state, and the outer peripheral lid continues to be opened by the rotation of the shaft core A.

Further, by moving the opening / closing bar upward, the projecting bar B suspended from the shaft core D moves to simultaneously open the discharge port cover and the outer peripheral cover.

That is, by simultaneous opening, the rice discharged from the washing basket into the rice tray passes through the discharge port and is discharged from the discharge pipe, and a part of the rice accumulated in the rice tray on the slope. Is discharged together with the water sent from the water inlet.

Further, by stopping the water supply, the discharge mouth lid having lost the water pressure is automatically closed by its own weight, and the shaft core D is rotated by its own weight of the projecting bar A, the projecting bar B and the opening / closing bar. As a result, the projection bar B moves to the front of the discharge port lid and closes, and the projection bar A also moves to release the pressing of the pressing rod. In addition, the cleaning basket starts to rotate and stops with the outer peripheral lid facing upward. .

Further, by providing a lid with a small elliptical hole at the end of the water pipe, the injection water pressure is strengthened and the part plays a role of water saving. However, the area of the jet water impinging on the water wheel 2 is increased, and the rotary drive is made more powerful. Alternatively, a few small holes may be provided instead of the elliptical holes.

As for the water flow, the water injected from the water supply pipe rotates the water wheel, passes through the water supply port, flows into the washing section, and is stored. It becomes turbid water, crosses the upper edge of the partition plate at the discharge part, and is drained through the discharge pipe.Washing is completed when the drainage becomes colorless and transparent, that is, the water flowing in from the lower water supply port passes through the upper edge of the partition plate. By crossing the border, it flows efficiently diagonally.
