Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a fully automatic rice cooking device with a built-in wet rice grinder.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY Conventional rice cooking apparatuses perform each process such as a rice washing process, a distribution process, and a rice cooking process in an assembly line via a belt conveyor.

In addition, a part for storing raw materials is provided at the top, a part for measuring and sorting raw materials according to the required amount is provided at the bottom, and an inner pot is placed at the bottom, and these can be stored in a single box as needed. A fully automatic measuring rice washing type electric rice cooker that completely automates the rice cooking process was published in JP-A-Sho.
It has been proposed as Publication No. 47-22271.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, since conventional rice cooking devices use a rice washer in the rice washing process, a large amount of polluted water is discharged, and a drainage device must be installed to treat the large amount of polluted water. However, since the work was carried out on a conveyor belt, a large amount of work space was required.

Also, the one described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 47-22271,
Since a rice washing tank is used in the rice washing process, a large amount of polluted water is discharged, and a drainage device must be installed to treat the large amount of polluted water.The raw materials for the rice washing tank are distributed and supplied to the inner pot. It was impossible to do so.

It is an object of the present invention to address the above-mentioned problems and to
A drainage system that uses a wet rice grinder instead of a rice washer to remove the bran that adheres to the surface of polished rice during polishing, eliminating the need for a rice washing process and eliminating the generation of large amounts of polluted water. While the distribution body rotates, it distributes the bran-free white rice that has been ground and bran-removed by the wet rice grinder, and the wire mesh further distributes the bran-free white rice from the distribution body to the inside of the cooking pot. To provide a fully automatic rice cooker with a built-in wet rice grinder capable of evenly distributing and introducing bran-free white rice and uniformly cooking the white rice in a rice cooker.

Ru.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the fully automatic rice cooking device with a built-in wet rice polishing machine of the present invention, since a wet rice polishing machine is used instead of a rice washer, the rice bran that adheres to the surface of polished rice during polishing can be removed. Since the rice washing process is not necessary, a large amount of polluted water is not produced, and there is no need for a drainage system to treat large amounts of polluted water. In addition to distributing the bran-free white rice that has been removed by grinding rice, the wire mesh further distributes the bran-free white rice from the distribution body, so that the bran-free white rice can be evenly distributed and put into the cooking pot. It is possible to cook white rice evenly in the pot.

In addition, if you install a case with a built-in bug filter on the side of the frame to make it easier to take out the bran,
The collected bran can be easily taken out as needed.
