Description

Functional Brown Rice Processing Equipment

The present invention relates to a functional brown rice processing apparatus that removes a portion of the epidermis layer (steel layer) of brown rice from which rice husks have been removed from rice, so that moisture is absorbed into the starch layer during cooking. The present invention relates to a functional brown rice processing device that continuously removes a portion of the skin layer of brown rice in a process of continuously feeding and transporting brown rice.

It is called brown rice (껍질 米) to remove the bark from the rice harvested in the fall (玄米), this brown rice is called the distribution 101, steel layer (hereinafter referred to as "epidermal layer") as shown in FIG. ), And the starch layer (103).

The epidermal layer 102 is composed of skin, seed, and even skin again, there is a lot of nutrients such as vegetable fiber, protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B1, B2, but there is a lot of fiber and the tissue is hard to cook There is a risk of indigestion may cause a result of discarding the nutrients necessary for the human body because the epidermis layer 102 is completely removed in the process of removing the shell to make white rice.

Compared to brown rice, brown rice contains four times the amount of vegetable fiber and vitamin B1, and vitamin B2, fat, phosphorus, and iron contain about twice the amount of brown rice, and vitamin B1 is a sugar of rice. It acts to convert energy into energy, showing a good effect on fatigue recovery.

This brown rice prevents obesity and improves constitution in children, normalizes cholesterol levels in adults, and greatly contributes to the prevention of diabetes, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, chronic constipation, obesity and heart disease. Of course, it will also help a lot in the prevention and treatment of cancer, a modern incurable disease.

In addition, it contains a large amount of dietary fiber to absorb and excrete excess nutrients to relieve the pain of obesity, and also serves to discharge waste products harmful to the human body, such as heavy metals.

Therefore, if you cook rice with nutrient-rich brown rice every day, the digestive system (stomach, small intestine, intestines, etc.) will be active, so you can expect a lot of effects to improve the constitution, it will be very beneficial for health promotion.

However, as described above, brown rice has almost no nutrients and is very beneficial for health, but the epidermal layer completely surrounds the starch layer, making it difficult to match the amount of water when cooking rice, and also to reach the mouth when eating cooked rice. It gives a feeling of rough feeling at the moment to reduce the appetite, and after eating a problem that is difficult to digest, but despite this problem, some patients are eating as a dietary supplement health food.

Or, in the process of cooking rice for the health of the family in the general home, only a small amount of grains are added to the situation that is not very effective to use the brown rice in the diet effectively.

The present invention has been made to solve such a conventional problem, in the process of continuously transporting the brown rice contained in the hopper cut out so that the starch layer is exposed to a part of the epidermal layer of brown rice while maintaining almost all of the epidermal layer intact The purpose is to provide a soft and nutritious brown rice, such as cooked with raw rice.

According to an aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, a main body, a hopper which is installed to be supported on a bracket having an injection hole on the upper side of the main body is filled with the brown rice to be processed, and installed to be located directly below the injection hole and an elastic body And a guide member which is fixed to the bracket so as to be positioned between the bracket and the brown rice supply roller and guides the brown rice to be supplied to the upper surface of the elastic body, and is inserted to the inside of the guide member. Brown rice aligning means for aligning, brown rice pressing means which is installed on the main body so as to be positioned at the rear end of the brown rice aligning means to press the brown rice immediately before the processing of brown rice pressed to the elastic body, and rotation of the brown rice feed roller at the rear end of the brown rice pressing means Brown rice is installed on the same axis so as to rotate faster than the brown rice feed roller in the opposite direction The circular blade unit, and a functional rice processing apparatus is characterized by being a driving means for driving the feed roller brown rice, brown rice alignment means, at the same time, the circular edge portions forming at least one place or more sheath is provided.

The present invention has several advantages over the prior art.

First, the structure of the device required for the processing of brown rice is simple to minimize the cost of manufacturing.

Secondly, if the brown rice is filled in the hopper, the sheath is formed on the epidermal layer in the process of automatically transporting the brown rice, so that a large amount of brown rice can be processed in a short time.

Third, the brown rice aligning means such as a brown rice alignment roller is provided inside the guide member to prevent the phenomenon that the two brown rice is transferred in a stacked state, thereby preventing the brown rice from being broken in the process of being transferred. .

Fourth, in the process of feeding and transporting the brown rice filled in the hopper in turn, she cuts the cuticle layer surrounding the starch layer, so when rice is cooked using brown rice, moisture is absorbed and transferred to the rice, leaving the cuticle layer almost intact. You can get a soft and nutritious brown rice just like you cook.

Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above is as follows.

First, when the brown rice 2 to be processed is applied to the inside of the hopper 3 and power is applied, the first and

second motors

17 and 18, which are driving means, are driven, so that brown rice is supplied as indicated by the arrow of FIG. 5. The roller 5 and the brown rice alignment roller 12 rotate clockwise, and the circular blade portion 7 rotates counterclockwise.

At this time, if the opening and closing plate 10 which is a metered dose means inside the bracket 8 maintains the state as shown in FIG. 4, the brown rice 2 contained in the hopper 3 is downward, that is, the brown rice feed roller ( It is not supplied to the recessed groove 4a side of the elastic body 4 wrapped in 5).

In this state, the pneumatic cylinder, which is known driving means 11, is driven so that the brown rice 2 contained in the hopper 3 is supplied to the concave groove 4a side of the elastic body 4 to move the opening and closing plate 10 to the arrow of FIG. When pushed in the direction, the

inlets

8a and 10a and the

closing parts

8b and 10b formed in the bracket 8 and the opening and closing plate 10 coincide with each other to open the inlets so that the brown rice 2 contained in the hopper 3 can be opened. ) Is supplied to the upper surface of the elastic body 4 by its own weight.

The pneumatic cylinder, which is the driving means, is driven again after a certain amount of brown rice 2 is supplied to the upper surface of the elastic body 4 to reduce the closing plate 10 to an initial state.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, when a certain amount of brown rice 2 is supplied to the upper surface of the elastic body 4 wrapped in the brown rice supply roller 5, the brown rice supply roller 5 in which the elastic body is wrapped rotates in the direction of the arrow and is supplied. The brown rice 2 is sequentially inserted into the concave groove 4a of the elastic body 4, where the depth s of the concave groove 4a is formed to be shallower than the thickness a of the brown rice 2, The part to be processed of brown rice is exposed to the upper side of the indentation groove.

In the process as described above, the brown rice 2 supplied to the upper surface of the elastic body 4 is installed to be introduced into the guide member 9 in the process of being sequentially inserted into the recessed groove (4a) and the brown rice feed roller (5) and Since the brown rice alignment roller 12 rotating in the same direction is pushed in the opposite direction of the transfer of brown rice so that more than the required brown rice 2 is not supplied, the two brown rice 2 are conveyed in a state of being stacked up and down. Will be prevented.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the brown rice 2 is conveyed in an aligned state to the recessed groove 4a formed in the elastic body 4.

As described above, when the brown rice 2 is supplied from the hopper 3 and is aligned and transported in the recess 4a formed in the elastic body 4, the brown rice feed roller 5 is disposed at the rear end of the brown rice alignment roller 12. The brown rice pressurizing member 15 having a clearance t having a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the elastic body 4 enclosed therein is gradually narrowed so that the brown rice pressurized by the brown rice 2 seated in the recessed groove 4a is conveyed. The member 15 is pressed toward the elastic body 4 side.

At the point just before the brown rice 2 pressed by the brown rice pressing member 15 toward the elastic body 4 passes through the brown rice pressing member 15, a plurality of blades 7a and a depth control portion 7b therebetween are provided. The circular blade portion 7 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction and is placed in the indentation groove 4a to form a sheath 6 in the brown rice 2 just before exiting the brown rice pressurizing member 15. The sheath 6 ) Is formed not only of the epidermal layer 12 but also of some starch layer 103.

At this time, if the concave inlet surface (15a) is formed on one surface of the brown rice pressing member 15 so that the circular blade portion 7 is superimposed, a portion of the brown rice (2) is pressed by the brown rice pressing member (15) In the state immediately after passing through the end portion is placed in the recess groove (4a) and passed through the brown rice pressing member 15 to the brown rice (2) passed through the brown rice pressing member 15 by the circular blade (7) The sheath 6 is formed.

That is, in the state in which the brown rice pressing member 15 supports one end of the brown rice 2 for producing the sheath 6, the circular blade 7 rotates much faster than the brown rice feed roller 5, Since the sheath 6 is formed, the phenomenon in which the brown rice 2 is separated from the concave groove 4a is prevented in advance, and the brown rice 2 thus processed is freely dropped downward by its own weight so that the discharge plate 14 is removed. It is discharged to the outside of the body (1) through.

What has been described so far is that one end is pressed by the brown rice pressing member 15 in the process of aligning and transporting the brown rice 2 to be processed in one row of the recessed grooves 4a formed in the elastic body 4, and then having a circular blade. A series of processes for forming and discharging the sheath 6 with the blade 7a of the portion 7 is explained, and it is understood that the brown rice 2 contained in the hopper 3 is continuously performed as long as it is supplied to the elastic body 4 side. It is possible.

Although the technical spirit of the present invention has been described in detail according to the above-described preferred embodiment, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are for the purpose of description and not of limitation.

In addition, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
