Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a simple rice washing machine that uses tap water to wash rice.

Traditionally, to polish rice, you pour water into a container containing a certain amount of rice, stir it with your hands, and polish the rice thoroughly to wash away impurities such as bran and dirt that are attached to the rice. Wash the rice with water until it is clean, but this must be done every time you eat rice, and you also have to put your hands in the water, which gets your hands wet, and especially in the winter when the water is cold. Polishing rice is a laborious task, and in restaurants where a large amount of rice is polished many times a day, it is extremely uneconomical to require the labor to do this time-consuming task. Furthermore, when polishing rice by hand, there was a drawback that the rice could be polished too much depending on the amount of force applied.

The present invention was developed in view of the drawbacks of the conventional methods, and is designed to automatically polish rice using tap water without the need for human intervention.The structure is transparent and has a cylindrical shape with a bottom. Or on the top of the translucent body,
A lid body with an insertion hole in the center is attached removably,
A mesh piece is attached around the insertion hole of this lid body or to the drain hole provided on the upper wall surface of the main body, and the bottom peripheral edge is diagonally downward so that the water flow that is injected collides with the inner wall surface below the middle part of the main body. A plurality of first nozzles are provided at respective angles, and at least one or more second nozzles are provided at the center of the bottom. A mounting tube is provided at the top of the closed chamber-like reservoir to be removably attached to the insertion hole. Because it is characterized by
If you put rice inside the main body and connect the mounting tube to the water faucet, you can automatically polish the rice without getting your hands wet.

The first embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.
Figures 1 to 6 show the first embodiment, in which an opening 3 is provided at the upper end inside a bottomed cylindrical main body 1 made of transparent or translucent synthetic resin so that the inside can be seen. A storage chamber 2 is provided, and a threaded portion 4 is provided on the upper outer periphery of this main body. 5 is a lid body provided with a plurality of drainage holes 7 formed at regular intervals around a small-diameter insertion hole 6 provided in the center; A flange portion 10 provided with a thread 9 is formed. A mesh piece 8 with fine mesh is attached to each drain port 7 to prevent rice grains from flowing out. Reference numeral 12 denotes a jet generator, and a mounting tube 13 is provided on the upper part of the jet generator to be attached to the insertion hole 6 from below in a removable manner. First nozzles 15 are concentrically formed on the periphery of the bottom surface of each of the nozzles 14 to generate a jet stream diagonally downward in the outward opening direction. Furthermore, one or more second nozzles 16 are provided in the center of the bottom surface of the reservoir chamber 14, facing downward. This reservoir chamber 14 temporarily stores water flowing from the mounting tube 13,
This is to eliminate the pulsating flow and increase the pressure of the water so that a powerful jet of water is ejected from the first and second nozzles. This first nozzle 15 is arranged at an angle Q with respect to an axis 17 passing through the center of the jet generator,
This angle Q varies depending on the size of the inner diameter of the main body 1, but the first impact point 18 is set at a position where the water jet ejected from the first nozzle 15 collides with the inner wall slightly below the middle part of the main body. Set. The jet reflected at the collision point 18 of the water flow on the wall surface of the main body is set to collide again with a second collision point 20 located at the periphery of the central portion 19 of the bottom surface. Reference numeral 22 denotes a gasket that fastens the lid to the main body.

25 is a hose 30 whose one end is connected to the mounting tube 13;
It is a reinforcing tube that is attached to the other end, and there is a faucet 2 in the center.
6 is provided, and an insertion tube 29 with an outer diameter tapered downward is formed on the outer periphery via a locking step 28. It is convenient to provide a mark 40 on the inner wall of the main body to indicate the amount of rice, and it is better to only fill the rice up to about 3/5 from the bottom of the main body so that the water inside the main body can have a good convection. It occurs in

To explain the operation of this embodiment, the other end of the hose 30, which is attached to the mounting tube 13 whose one end protrudes above the lid body 5, is connected to the faucet 26. When tap water is supplied after accommodating the
The water that has entered the interior increases the water pressure, and the jets ejected from the many first nozzles 15 enter the rice grains in an oblique manner and lift them up.The water flow that collides with the first impact point 18 is oblique. After penetrating into the rice grains and raising the rice grains, they collide at the second collision point 20 at the peripheral edge of the bottom and are pushed upward, and on the other hand,
The jet stream ejected from the second nozzle 16 also collides with the center part 19 of the bottom and flows upward, but here the water stream from the first nozzle and the water stream from the second nozzle merge and flow upward, and the rice grains The water mixed with the water is blown upward. In this way, the water flow from the first nozzle and the water flow from the second nozzle merge, creating a convection current of water mixed with rice grains in the main body 1, and rice is automatically separated by collision between rice and rice or between rice and a wall. The water overflowing from inside the main body is discharged to the outside from the drain port 7, but since each drain port is equipped with a mesh piece 8, the rice does not flow out of the main body. Once the rice has been polished, the color of the water discharged from the drain port 7 becomes clear, so it is easy to know that the rice has been washed.

Fig. 7 shows the second embodiment, in which a number of drainage holes 7a are provided on the upper wall of the main body 1, and each drainage hole 1a is fitted with a mesh piece 8 to prevent rice from flowing out. This embodiment is convenient when polishing a large amount of rice, since excess water inside the main body can be drained after polishing is completed simply by tilting the main body.

It should be noted that 2 to 3 minutes is sufficient for polishing about 2 pieces of rice using the apparatuses of the first and second embodiments.

As described above, the present invention has the following effects.

By combining two types of nozzles in the jet generator: the first slanted nozzle and the second nozzle located directly below, it is possible to polish the rice while causing the water mixed with rice to flow vigorously. You can automatically wash rice without putting your hands in the water.

The reservoir chamber is a closed chamber and functions as an accumulator, so that the jets ejected from the first and second nozzles can be maintained at a substantially constant pressure.

Rice polishing is complete when the water draining from the drain becomes clean, so by looking at the color of the water draining from the drain, you can easily tell when the rice polishing process is finished even if you are doing other work at a distance. I can understand it.

Because rice is polished automatically using tap water,
It is extremely efficient as one person can polish multiple rice bowls at the same time.

Since there is no waste in the rice polishing work and the work can be completed efficiently and in a short time, the amount of water used is small and it is economical.
