Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively peel bran, etc., by mixing friction of bubbles and water while ejecting air bubbles into water within a rice washing hopper during the course of rice washing of a rice washing machine. CONSTITUTION:The rice washing machine is constituted by horizontally installing a freely rotatable washing cage 4 communicating with a suction rice feeding pump 3 in the rice washing hopper 2 which communicates with a primary rice washing section 1 and is capable of draining water in overflow to the upper part of the hopper 2 and forming a washing shower section 5 in such a manner that the washed rice is released from one end of a washing cage 4 installed in this washing shower section. An air bubble ejector 6 capable of ejecting the air bubbles into the water in the rice washing hopper 2 is disposed to this rice washing machine.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bubble-type rice washing device of a rice washing machine capable of effectively removing bran and the like in a rice washing hopper during rice washing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a rotatable washing basket, which communicates with a suction rice feeding pump in the hopper, is horizontally installed above a rice hopper that communicates with a primary rice washing section and allows overflow drainage. In a rice washing machine configured so that washed rice can be discharged from one end of the washing basket having a portion inside, the polished rice fed from the primary washing unit is washed with water while being sucked by a suction-sending pump in a washing hopper. In the rotating washing basket, the rice is further washed and discharged by the shower in the rotating washing basket.

[0003]

However, such a problem that the bran adhered to the polished rice cannot be easily peeled off due to the mere water pressure or water flow, and the delicious and long-lasting rice cooked cannot be prepared. Was there.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves such a problem and makes the polishing of rice bran stronger and the bran effectively peeled off. A rotatable washing basket that communicates with the suction rice feeding pump in the hopper is placed horizontally above the rice washing hopper that can communicate with each other to allow overflow drainage, and the washing rice can be washed from one end of the washing basket that incorporates the washing shower section. In a rice washing machine configured to be capable of discharging, it is configured by providing a bubble jetting device capable of jetting bubbles into the water in the rice washing hopper, and the bubble jetting device makes it possible to jet bubbles together with water, The tip discharge port of the injection device can be discharged so as to form a swirl flow in the tangential direction of the inner peripheral surface or the lower inner peripheral surface of the rice washing hopper, and the cleaning basket can have a regular hexagonal shape. It is constructed by a shape.

[0005]

Therefore, when the rice is primarily washed in the primary rice washing section and the polished rice is put into the rice washing hopper, the bubbles and the water jetted from the air bubble spraying device into the rice washing hopper may generate friction and ultrasonic waves. It will be possible to effectively peel off the bran and sharpen the polishing of rice bran, and the bran will overflow from the rice washing hopper as it is,
The polished rice can be sent to the washing basket by the suction-feeding rice pump to wash the rice more effectively.

EXAMPLE FIG. 2 is a vertical cross-sectional view of a part of a rice washing machine, in which a rice hopper 2 having an open top is fixedly installed inside a machine A having casters 7 at the bottom thereof. A motor 9 is provided above the inside of the hopper 2 so as to communicate with the supply hopper 8.
The primary rice washing section 1 having the agitating roll 10 driven by the above and an outer pressure adjusting plate 11 mounted on the tip end port is installed, and the upper end port 12a of the overflow pipe 12 is provided above the inside of the rice wash hopper 2. The motor 1 is provided at the lower center of the rice washing hopper 2, which is below the tip of the primary rice washing unit 1.
A suction rice feeding pump 3 driven by 3 is mounted and configured in the same manner as the conventional structure.

Above the rice washing hopper 2, a washing basket 4 having a regular hexagonal cross section is supported by a support roll 14 while slightly lowering one end side thereof, and the motor 1
5, which is rotatably driven by a rotating roll 16 driven horizontally, and the tip end of a rice feeding pipe 17 extending from the suction rice feeding pump 3 is looked into the inside of the other end of the washing basket 4 for washing. A washing shower unit 5 is installed inside the basket 4, a basket cleaning shower 18 is installed above the basket 4, and a lower tip discharge port 6 is provided inside the rice washing hopper 2.
The lower part of the bubble jetting device 6 capable of jetting bubbles together with water from a is equipped, but the tip discharge port 6a is provided so that the bubbles are discharged as a swirling flow toward the inner peripheral surface of the lower side of the rice washing hopper 2.
As shown in FIG.

Therefore, the polished rice supplied to the supply hopper 8 is introduced into the rice washing hopper 2 while being primarily washed in the primary rice washing unit 1, and in the rice washing hopper 2, the bubble jetting device 6 It is possible to effectively peel off the bran or sharpen the rice bran by mixing friction of bubbles and water that are ejected well from the tip discharge port 6a and generation of ultrasonic waves, and overflow the bran. And remove it by the overflow pipe 12, and while the polished rice is sucked by the suction-feeding rice pump 3 as shown by the arrow a, it is sent into the rotating polygonal washing basket 4 as shown by the arrow b, and by the washing shower section 5. While being washed, the inside of the washing basket 4 is lifted high at the corners, flows as shown by arrow C, and is discharged as it is from one end side as shown by arrow D, and is automatically effective. So that can be rinsed rice.

[0009]

As described above, according to the present invention, the primary rice washing section (1)
When the milled rice is primarily washed with the milled rice and the milled rice is put into the rice washing hopper (2), the bubbles and water are jetted from the bubble jetting device (6) into the rice washing hopper (2) due to friction and ultrasonic waves. The bran can be effectively peeled off and the sharpening of rice bran can be strengthened. The bran and the like can overflow from the rice washing hopper (2), and the polished rice can be washed by the suction rice pump (3). (4) Since the rice can be sent to the inside and further washed, it has a feature that the washing performance can be further improved and suitably performed.
