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.
[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] See also Figure 1-5A vertical double-pot popcorn machine, comprising a main body 1, a quantitative feeding mechanism, a uniform stirring mechanism and a turning mechanism, wherein the quantitative feeding mechanism comprises a material storage box 2, a feeding pipe 3, a first control valve 4, a quantitative cylinder 5 and a flexible tube 6, wherein the material storage box 2 is installed inside the main body 1 and is slidably connected to the main body 1, and the two ends of the feeding pipe 3 are respectively fixedly connected to the material storage box 2 and the first control valve 4, one end of the first control valve 4 is fixedly connected to the quantitative cylinder 5, and the other end of the quantitative cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the flexible tube 6, and the uniform stirring mechanism comprises an eccentric motor 7, a stirring shaft 8, a frying pan 9 and a pot cover 10, wherein the eccentric motor 7 is fixedly installed on the pot cover 10, the stirring shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the eccentric motor 7, the frying pan 9 is installed inside the main body 1, and the pot cover 10 is installed on the frying pan 9 and is detachably connected to the frying pan 9.
[0031] In this embodiment, the quantitative feeding mechanism includes a material storage box 2, a material delivery pipe 3, a first control valve 4, a quantitative cylinder 5 and a flexible tube 6. When in use, the cabinet door 20 is opened, the raw materials and condiments are taken out from the storage cabinet 18, and then the condiments are mixed, and the raw materials are placed into the frying pan 9 through the open door 21. At this time, the prepared condiment oil, sugar or salt, etc. are placed in the material storage box 2 inside the storage compartment, and the first control valve 4 is opened. Under the influence of gravity, the condiments in the material storage box 2 enter the material delivery pipe 3, and then enter through the first control valve 4. After entering the quantitative cylinder 5, the amount of material entering the quantitative cylinder 5 is observed through the observation port 28 on the quantitative cylinder 5, and then controlled by the measuring scale 29. When the required amount is reached, the first control valve 4 is closed and the second control valve 430 is opened. After the second control valve 430 is opened, the material falls along with the flexible tube 6. At this time, the door 21 on the pot cover 10 is opened, and after the raw materials are put in, the flexible tube 6 is then aligned with the inside of the wok 9, and the seasoning enters the wok 9, and then the operation of the next mechanism is started.
[0032] In this embodiment, the uniform stirring mechanism includes an eccentric motor 7, a stirring shaft 8, a wok 9 and a pot cover 10. When in use, the eccentric motor 7 mounted on the mounting frame 22 on the pot cover 10 is driven to drive the stirring shaft 8, and the stirring shaft 8 rotates to drive the stirring rod 23 and the stirring frame. In this process, since the raw materials have been put in before, the stirring rod 23 at the bottom rotates to drive the corn kernels at the bottom of the wok 9 to mix with the seasonings, and the stirring blades 24 located above the stirring rod 23 move other corn kernels to exchange positions with the corn kernels below that have been mixed with the seasonings, and so on and so forth. Each corn kernel is completely covered with the seasonings. As the bottom of the wok 9 is heated, the raw materials become finished products.
[0033] In this embodiment, the flipping mechanism includes an electric push rod 11, a flipping gear 12, a fixed rack 13 and a support frame 14. The heating table 17 on the workbench 16 processes the raw materials inside the wok 9 into finished products, and then the electric push rod 11 is driven, and the fixed sleeve 27 drives the connecting rod 26 on the wok 9 to slide in the slide groove 25 on the support frame 14. During this process, the flipping gear 12 is engaged with the fixed rack 13, so that the connecting rod 26 rotates, driving the wok 9 to flip. At this time, the door 21 is opened, and the flipped wok 9 is tilted toward the finished product placement groove 19. The finished product enters the finished product placement groove 19, and then the staff takes the finished product from the finished product placement groove 19 and sells it.
[0034] Embodiment 2:
[0035] In summary, when in use, first prepare the raw materials required for the operation of the popcorn machine, open the cabinet door 20, take out the raw materials and condiments from the storage cabinet 18, then mix the condiments, and put the raw materials into the frying pan 9 through the open door 21. At this time, put the prepared condiment oil, sugar or salt into the material storage box 2 inside the storage compartment, open the first control valve 4, and the condiments in the material storage box 2 enter the feed pipe 3 under the influence of gravity, and then enter the metering cylinder 5 through the first control valve 4. After entering the metering cylinder 5, the condiments are discharged through the metering cylinder 5. The observation port 28 is used to observe the amount of material entering the quantitative cylinder 5, and then the amount is controlled by the measuring scale 29. When the required amount is reached, the first control valve 4 is closed and the second control valve 430 is opened. After the second control valve 430 is opened, the material falls with the flexible tube 6. At this time, the door 21 on the pot cover 10 is opened, and after the raw materials are put in, the flexible tube 6 is aligned with the inside of the wok 9, and the seasoning enters the wok 9, and then the operation of the next mechanism is started. When the raw materials are ready, the heating table 17 on the workbench 16 heats the wok 9. At the same time, the eccentric motor 7 on the mounting frame 22 installed on the pot cover 10 drives the stirring shaft 8, and the stirring shaft 8 drives the stirring rod 23 and the stirring frame after rotating. In this process, since the raw materials have been put in before, the stirring rod 23 at the bottom rotates to drive the corn kernels at the bottom of the wok 9 to mix with the seasoning, and the stirring blades 24 located above the stirring rod 23 are to move other corn kernels to exchange positions with the corn kernels below that have been mixed with the seasoning, and so on. Each corn kernel is completely stained with the seasoning. As the wok 9 is fried, the corn kernels are all covered with the seasoning. The bottom of the pot 9 is heated, and the raw materials become finished products. When the raw materials become finished products, the electric push rod 11 is driven, and the fixed sleeve 27 drives the connecting rod 26 on the wok 9 to slide in the slide groove 25 on the support frame 14. During this process, the flip gear 12 is meshed with the fixed rack 13, so that the connecting rod 26 rotates, driving the wok 9 to flip. At this time, the door 21 is opened, and the flipped wok 9 is tilted toward the finished product placement groove 19, and the finished product enters the finished product placement groove 19. Then the staff takes the finished product from the finished product placement groove 19 and sells it.
[0036] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between two parts can be selected according to actual conditions by welding, bolt and nut matching connection, bolt or screw connection or other well-known connection methods, which are not described here one by one. In the above, all fixed connections are preferably welded. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
