Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vending machines, in particular to a laundry ball hopper structure. Background Art
[0002] A laundry ball is a small ball of laundry detergent wrapped in a layer of water-soluble film. In order to make it easier for users to buy laundry balls, we proposed a vending machine specifically for unmanned laundry ball sales. The laundry balls are stored in the hopper of the vending machine. In the previous design, we made the hopper into a conical structure. As a result, in actual use, it was found that the laundry balls had an arch bridge effect in the hopper, that is, the laundry balls formed an arch bridge-like spatial structure through staggered bites. When the material taking module takes out the laundry ball, due to the problem of staggered bites of the laundry balls, the material taking module needs a lot of force to carry the laundry ball. The laundry ball itself is a layer of film wrapped around the laundry detergent. When a lot of force is applied to the laundry ball, it will cause the laundry ball to rupture. Therefore, we improved the structure of the hopper and proposed a new laundry ball hopper structure. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a washing ball hopper structure, which solves the problems raised by the above-mentioned background technology.
[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solutions: a washing ball hopper structure, comprising:
[0005] A storage hopper, wherein the upper portion of the storage hopper is a square hopper and the lower portion is a conical hopper, and the conical hopper contracts toward the bottom opening at a fixed angle;
[0006] A ventilation window, wherein the ventilation window is fixedly mounted on the surface of the conical bucket except the front surface;
[0007] The material blocking member is fixedly installed at the bottom opening of the conical hopper and can block the material stored in the storage hopper.
[0008] Furthermore, the square bucket and the conical bucket are an integral whole, and the surfaces of the square bucket and the conical bucket are both painted with anti-corrosion paint.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixed contraction angle of the conical bucket is 33°.
[0010] Furthermore, a material grabbing module mounting hole is provided on the front of the square bucket and the conical bucket, and a blocking piece is installed on the top of the square bucket, and the upper end of the material grabbing module mounting hole is blocked by the blocking piece.
[0011] Furthermore, ventilation holes are provided on both sides and the back of the conical bucket, and the ventilation windows are fixedly installed inside the ventilation holes.
[0012] Furthermore, a reserved hole is opened inside the material blocking member, and the reserved hole is a "concave" shaped structure.
[0013] The utility model provides a washing ball hopper structure. Compared with the prior art, it has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] The laundry ball hopper structure is composed of an integrally connected square bucket and a conical bucket, with the square bucket at the top and the conical bucket at the bottom. Such an upper-lower-cone structure can not only stack more laundry balls, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of an arch bridge effect, thereby fully avoiding the laundry balls from breaking when being carried.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] See also Figure 1-7The utility model provides a technical solution: a laundry ball hopper structure, comprising a storage hopper 1, a ventilation window 2 and a material blocking member 3, wherein the upper portion of the storage hopper 1 is a square hopper 11, and the lower portion is a conical hopper 12, the conical hopper 12 shrinks toward the bottom opening at an inclination angle of 33°, and when the laundry balls are actually stored, 180-200 bulk laundry balls of 40*30*10 can be stored, because they are spherical objects, such a shape combination can not only stack more laundry balls, but also effectively prevent the occurrence of the arch bridge effect, the square hopper 11 and the conical hopper 12 are an integral whole, and the surfaces of the square hopper 11 and the conical hopper 12 are painted with anti-corrosion paint, ventilation holes 15 are opened on both sides and the back of the conical hopper 12, the ventilation window 2 is fixedly installed in the ventilation hole 15, the surface is treated with anti-corrosion paint, and ventilation holes for ventilation are left, which can play a role in rust and moisture prevention, and the material blocking member 3 is fixedly installed At the bottom opening of the conical bucket 12, the laundry balls stored in the storage hopper 1 can be blocked to prevent the laundry balls from falling out of the storage hopper 1 during storage. A reserved hole 31 is provided inside the blocking member 3. The reserved hole 31 is a "concave"-shaped structure, which is adapted to the shape of a grab hook (not shown in the figure) of a grab module of the laundry ball, so that the grab hook can move upward from the bottom of the storage hopper 1, thereby carrying out the laundry balls from the inside of the storage hopper 1. A grab module mounting hole 13 is provided on the front of the square bucket 11 and the conical bucket 12. The mounting hole is reserved to facilitate the installation of a grab module for laundry balls on the storage hopper 1 (the grab module is not shown in the figure). A blocking member 14 is installed on the top of the square bucket 11, and the upper end of the grab module mounting hole 13 is blocked by the blocking member 14. After blocking, support can be given to the opening to prevent deformation after the laundry balls are stored.
[0025] When in use, pour multiple laundry balls into the storage hopper 1. After pouring, because the overall shape of the storage hopper 1 is a structure with an upper and lower cone, the laundry balls in the storage hopper 1 will not have an arch bridge effect. A grabbing module is installed on the front of the storage hopper 1. The grabbing module has multiple grabbing hooks. The grabbing module can drive these grabbing hooks to move synchronously, just like belt feeding. When the grabbing hook moves, it moves upward from the position of the material blocking member 3 to enter the interior of the storage hopper 1. When passing through the material blocking member 3, because the "concave"-shaped reserved hole 31 is the same as the shape of the grabbing hook, the grabbing hook can pass through the material blocking member 3, while the laundry balls stored in the storage hopper 1 cannot pass through the material blocking member 3. After the grabbing hook enters the interior of the storage hopper 1, it will carry any laundry ball upward until it is rotated out from the top of the mounting hole 13 of the grabbing module.
