Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to a device for supplying warm rice to a fixed quantity plater for warm rice.

``Prior Art'' Conventional rice feeding devices for rice platers have an exposed conveyor interposed in the middle, making it difficult to feed warm rice (Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 169421/1983). However, since the warm rice tends to solidify inside the hopper, it is difficult to discharge the stored warm rice from the hopper.

``Problems to be Solved by the Invention'' The present invention attempts to obtain a warm rice supply device that can store warm rice in a hopper and discharge and supply it to a metering bowl below at any time.

``Means to solve the problem'' This proposal includes a food storage hopper inside the heat insulation box.
A heat insulating lid was pivoted to the upper end opening of the hopper so that it could be raised and lowered and rotated horizontally around an upright support shaft, so that the opening could be opened and closed, and the lid was supported at the center of the hopper. A horizontal arm is provided on the upright rotating shaft, a rice loosening rod is provided at the tip of the horizontal arm that extends downward along the inner surface of the hopper, and the upper end of the upright rotating shaft is attached to and detached from the drive shaft provided on the heat-insulating lid. The heat-retaining rice supply device is designed to be freely connected.

"Function" Therefore, the heat retaining lid 5 is raised and rotated around the upright support shaft 8 to open the upper end opening 4 of the hopper 3.
When the hopper 3 is opened and freshly cooked hot rice is stored in the hopper 3, the lid 5 is rotated and lowered by the operation opposite to the above to close the opening 4, the drive shaft 19 and the upright rotating shaft 14 are connected. Connecting. In this state, by slowly rotating the drive shaft 19 in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 2, the rice loosening rod 16 can be slowly rotated along the inner surface of the hopper 3 to loosen the rice and prevent it from solidifying.

``Example'' A heat-retaining box 2 is provided in a machine frame 1, a heat-retaining rice storage hopper 3 is provided in the upper part of the inside of the box 2, and a heat-retaining lid 5 is provided in the upper opening 4 of the heat-retaining box 2. A horizontal mounting arm 6 is provided at the top of the lid 5, and a bearing tube 7 is provided at the tip of the arm 6.
is fitted onto the upright shaft 8 provided on the machine frame 1, and the mounting arm 6
The lid 5 is rotatably supported in the horizontal direction around the upright shaft 8, and the opening 4 can be opened and closed by the rotation. Further, a lifting/lowering manual lever 9 is pivotally supported on the upright shaft 8, and a claw portion 1 at the tip of the lever 9 is attached.
1 supports the bearing tube 7, and lowers the manual lever 9 to the center of the pivot portion 10, thereby lowering the claw portion 11.
, slide the bearing tube 7 upward against the spring 12 , raise the lever 9 horizontally, and release the claw part 11 .
can be lowered horizontally, the bearing tube 7 can be lowered by the spring 12 and its own weight, and the heat-insulating lid 5 can be raised and lowered accordingly. An upright rotating shaft 14 is supported at the center of the hopper 3 by a cross rod 13, and long and short horizontal arms 15, 15 are provided on the same shaft 14.
A rice loosening rod 16, 16 is provided at the tip of the hopper 15 and extends downward along the inner surface of the hopper 3, and a locking pin 17 is provided at the upper end of the upright rotating shaft 14 to project laterally.
Also, a brake deceleration motor 18 is mounted on the top surface of the lid 5.
The slow rotation output shaft (drive shaft) 19 is made to protrude downward from the center of the inner surface of the lid 5, and the output shaft 19
An engagement groove 20 for the locking pin 17 is formed at the lower end of the locking pin 17.
and the engagement groove 20 are engaged with each other, and the lid 5 can be raised to separate the two 17 and 20. Furthermore, figure 2
1 is a rotary comb for lowering the rice provided at the bottom of the hopper 3, 22 is a rice measuring comb, and 23 and 24 are the same combs 2.
2 is a vertical opening/closing shutter, 25 is a serving table, and 26 is a bowl on the serving table 25.

"Effects" Since the present invention is constructed as described above, hot rice is stored in the hopper 3, kept warm by the heat-insulating box 2, and the upper end opening 4 is closed with the heat-insulating lid 5 to prevent the rice from cooling. The rice loosening rod 16 can be rotated with the lid 5 closed, preventing the rice kept warm (in the closed hopper) from solidifying, and has the advantage of being able to supply the warm rice downward at any time.
