Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of powder beverage equipment, and in particular to a powder dispensing structure that can achieve continuous powder dispensing. Background Technology

[0002] Powdered beverage equipment is a device that mixes powdered substances with liquids in a certain proportion. Examples include milk makers, coffee makers, and soy milk makers. Controlling the amount of powder dispensed is a key technical aspect.

[0003] Chinese patent CN204802368U discloses a quantitative feeding device for powdered food. This device has a flexible, bendable powder scraper fixed on a fixed partition, aligned with the powder outlet. The quantitative powder storage wheel and the fixed partition are tightly attached together, completely isolating the powder storage cavity without any other channels. This makes the powder storage cavity a fixed cavity for storing powdered food, and the amount of powder dispensed at one time is entirely determined by the volume of the fixed cavity. During dispensing, the wider flexible powder scraper can push out all the powdered food in the powder storage cavity, ensuring the accuracy of the dispensing amount.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions have the following technical problems: 1. Combining Figures 1-5 1. The powder storage box has a flat bottom structure with a powder outlet directly on the bottom. This flat outlet tends to accumulate powder at the outlet after a period of use, preventing continuous powder dispensing and causing the powder to clump and clump in the subsequent beverage, making it difficult to dissolve. 2. The powder storage chamber is a completely isolated chamber. Powdered food is pushed out of the chamber by an elastic scraper, but the powder tends to stick to the scraper, affecting the accuracy of dispensing. 3. The elastic scraper is bent to avoid obstructing the rotation of the metering powder wheel. This means the scraper needs to be bent during use, and it is prone to breakage at the bend after long-term use. 4. The metering powder wheel and the fixed partition are tightly fitted together, completely isolating the powder storage chamber without other channels. This can easily cause blockages, resulting in the metering powder wheel becoming stuck and affecting the smooth dispensing of powder. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a powder dispensing structure that can achieve continuous powder dispensing. A powder dropping port is opened at the position of the powder inlet groove, and the powder dropping port and the powder inlet groove are interconnected to form a three-dimensional opening. This three-dimensional opening is different from the existing planar powder dispensing port. This powder dropping port can prevent the powder from clumping at the position of the powder dropping port, achieve continuous powder dispensing, and avoid phenomena such as the beverage not dissolving or clumping.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] A powder dispensing structure capable of continuous powder dispensing includes:

[0008] The powder storage tank has a powder storage chamber inside. The bottom of the powder storage chamber is provided with a powder guiding groove, and a powder dropping port is opened at the position of the powder guiding groove.

The powder dispensing dial includes blades, the bottom of which abuts against the powder inlet groove. The blades and the powder inlet groove are adapted to each other, and the blades move along the powder inlet groove.

[0010] The powder dispensing disc rotates to cause the blades to push the powder out of the powder outlet.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the powder-drawing groove is recessed, and the longitudinal cross-section of the powder-drawing groove is generally circular or polygonal.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the powder dispensing structure that enables continuous powder dispensing further includes a baffle, which is disposed above the powder dispensing dial.

[0013] The powder dispensing disc includes a disc body and several blades. The blades are arranged circumferentially around the disc body, and a powder storage cell is formed between adjacent blades.

[0014] The baffle includes a blocking part, which is located above the powder inlet. The area between the blocking part and the powder inlet is a powder inlet cavity. A powder inlet end is provided on the side of the powder inlet cavity. A powder scraper is provided at the powder inlet end. The bottom of the powder scraper abuts against the top of the blade.

[0015] As the powder dispensing disc moves to bring the powder storage compartment into the powder dispensing chamber, the top of the powder storage compartment is scraped flat by a powder scraper to level off any excess powder. The powder in the powder storage compartment then falls from the powder dispensing port through the powder scraper.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the stop further includes an annular support portion and a plurality of spokes. The blocking portion and the spokes are both disposed on the inner side of the annular support portion, and the spokes are disposed on the side of the blocking portion. The blocking portion, the spokes and the annular support portion are connected to each other.

[0017] Several spokes are arranged at intervals along the annular support, with a powder inlet formed between adjacent spokes, or between a spoke and a shielding part;

[0018] The annular support has a powder guiding slope that is inclined towards the center, and the powder inlet is set in conjunction with the powder storage grid, so that the powder enters the powder storage grid from the powder inlet.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, there is an axial gap between the baffle and the powder dispensing disc, the powder scraper is disposed in the gap, and a separator is also disposed in the gap. The powder scraper and the separator form an air jacket, which is disposed in the upper part of the powder discharge chamber.

[0020] The shielding part is equipped with an exhaust hole, which is connected to the air gap and the powder falling chamber.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the gap forms a pressure relief chamber, which is separated from the powder drop chamber and the air jacket. The powder dispensing dial moves to send the powder storage grid into the powder drop chamber to deliver powder, and excess powder enters the pressure relief chamber.

[0022] It also includes a first material feeding component, which is disposed in the gap and located on the lower end face of the baffle. The first material feeding component is used to push the powder in the pressure relief chamber out along the powder discharge plate.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the powder dispensing structure that enables continuous powder dispensing further includes a powder dispensing wheel, which is disposed above the stop and is movably disposed relative to the stop. The powder dispensing wheel is used to push the powder into the powder inlet.

[0024] The powder dispensing wheel includes at least one second dispensing component.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, both the powder dispensing dial and the powder dispensing wheel are rotatably configured relative to the stop, and the powder dispensing dial and the powder dispensing wheel are connected to the same rotating shaft, which is the power input end.

[0026] The baffle and the powder storage tank are fixedly installed relative to the powder dispensing dial and the powder dispensing wheel.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the powder dispensing structure that enables continuous powder dispensing further includes a sealing element, which is movably disposed at the powder inlet position and is used to open and close the powder inlet.

[0028] 1. In this utility model, a powder outlet is provided at the powder inlet groove. The powder outlet and the powder inlet groove are interconnected to form a three-dimensional opening. This three-dimensional opening is different from the existing planar powder outlet. This powder outlet can prevent powder from clumping at the powder outlet position, realize continuous powder dispensing, and avoid phenomena such as the beverage liquid not dissolving or clumping.

[0029] 2. In this utility model, there is an axial gap between the baffle and the powder discharge disc, which forms a pressure relief chamber. The powder discharge disc moves to allow the powder storage grid to enter the powder discharge chamber to deliver powder. Excess powder enters the pressure relief chamber, and at the same time, the first material feeding component pushes the powder in the pressure relief chamber out along the powder discharge disc. The above structure can prevent powder from clogging and interfering with the rotation of the powder discharge disc, so that the powder discharge is smooth.

[0030] 3. The powder scraper in this utility model is located at the powder inlet. During the process of the powder dispensing disc moving to bring the powder storage grid into the powder dispensing chamber, the powder scraper scrapes the excess powder on the top of the powder storage grid. The powder in the powder storage grid that passes through the powder scraper falls from the powder dispensing port. In this way, it can be ensured that the amount of powder entering the powder dispensing chamber from each powder storage grid is consistent, thereby achieving quantitative powder dispensing. Moreover, the powder scraper does not obstruct the movement of the powder dispensing disc. Attached Figure Description

[0051] See Figures 1-13 This utility model discloses a powder dispensing structure that can achieve continuous powder dispensing, including: a powder storage tank 10, the powder storage tank 10 having a powder storage cavity 101 inside, a powder guiding groove 102 circumferentially provided at the bottom of the powder storage cavity 101, and a powder dropping port 103 opened at the position of the powder guiding groove 102, the powder dropping port 103 and the powder guiding groove 102 communicating with each other to form a three-dimensional opening.

[0052] In this invention, a powder outlet 103 is provided at the position of the powder inlet groove 102. The powder outlet 103 and the powder inlet groove 102 are interconnected to form a three-dimensional opening. This three-dimensional opening is different from the existing planar powder outlet. The powder outlet 103 can prevent powder from clumping at the position of the powder outlet 103, and can achieve continuous powder dispensing, avoiding phenomena such as the beverage liquid not dissolving or clumping.

[0053] Specifically, the powder discharge port 103 and the powder guiding groove 102 are interconnected to form a three-dimensional opening. The upper opening of the powder discharge port 103 has a height difference. When the lumps formed by the mutual attraction of powders pass through this height difference, the powder is broken up, thereby achieving continuous powder discharge. The diameter of the powder discharge port 103 is a, and the highest height difference of the upper opening of the powder discharge port 103 is b. The value of a ranges from 0.2bb.

[0054] It should be noted that the above-mentioned powder can be milk powder, coffee powder, soy milk powder, etc. This utility model is particularly applicable to milk maker, as well as powder beverage equipment such as coffee maker or soy milk maker.

[0055] In this embodiment of the utility model, the powder dispensing structure that enables continuous powder dispensing further includes a powder dispensing dial 20. The powder dispensing dial 20 is movably disposed relative to the powder storage tank 10. The powder dispensing dial 20 includes blades 201. The bottom of the blades 201 abuts against the powder inlet groove 102. The blades 201 and the powder inlet groove 102 are adapted to each other. The blades 201 move along the powder inlet groove 102. The powder dispensing dial 20 rotates to cause the blades 201 to push the powder out from the powder outlet 103.

[0056] In this embodiment of the utility model, the powder-guiding groove 102 is recessed, and the longitudinal cross-section of the powder-guiding groove 102 is generally arc-shaped or polygonal, such as "U"-shaped, semi-circular, triangular, square or trapezoidal, etc., depending on the actual situation, and is not limited to this.

[0057] Specifically, the lower end of the blade 201 protrudes downwards, and the lower end of the blade 201 is adapted to the upper end of the powder-inducing groove 102, which facilitates the blade 201 to push out the powder.

[0058] More specifically, the powder discharge port 103 includes an upper powder discharge port 1031 and a lower powder discharge port 1032. The upper powder discharge port 1031 and the lower powder discharge port 1032 are interconnected. The upper powder discharge port 1031 is located above the lower powder discharge port 1032. The diameter of the upper powder discharge port 1031 is smaller than the diameter of the lower powder discharge port 1032. The lower powder discharge port 1032 can prevent powder from adhering to the outside of the powder storage tank 10.

[0059] In this embodiment of the invention, the powder dispensing structure enabling continuous powder dispensing further includes a baffle 30, which is disposed above the powder dispensing dial 20. The powder dispensing dial 20 includes a disc body 202 and a plurality of blades 201, which are arranged circumferentially around the disc body 202 at intervals, forming a powder storage compartment 203 between adjacent blades 201. The baffle 30 includes a blocking portion 301, which is disposed above the powder inlet 103, and the blocking portion 301 is connected to the powder inlet. Between 103 is the powder discharge chamber 40, and the powder discharge chamber 40 is provided with a powder inlet end 50 on the side. A powder scraper 60 is provided at the powder inlet end 50, and the bottom of the powder scraper 60 abuts against the top of the blade 201. When the powder dispensing disk 20 moves to make the powder storage grid 203 enter the powder discharge chamber 40, the top of the powder storage grid 203 is scraped by the powder scraper 60 to flatten the excess powder on the top of the powder storage grid 203. The powder in the powder storage grid 203 that passes through the powder scraper 60 falls from the powder discharge port 103.

[0060] It should be noted that the powder storage compartment 203 is a slotted shape that runs vertically through the entire compartment, meaning that both the upper and lower ends of the powder storage compartment 203 have openings. This allows powder to enter the powder storage compartment 203 from the upper end. When the lower end of the powder storage compartment 203 is in contact with the powder storage tank 10, the powder can be stored inside the powder storage compartment 203. When the lower end of the powder storage compartment 203 is aligned with the powder discharge port 103, the powder inside the powder storage compartment 203 can enter the powder discharge port 103 from the lower end of the powder storage compartment 203.

[0061] Preferably, the disc body 202 and several blades 201 are interconnected and integrally formed.

[0062] Specifically, the powder scraper 60 can be in the form of strips, sheets, or plates, depending on the actual situation, and is not limited to these.

[0063] Specifically, the scraper 60 is a flexible scraper, which can be made of rubber, silicone or metal. Generally, the scraper 60 can be made of plastics such as rubber and silicone. In some specific cases, the scraper can be made of metal, depending on the actual situation, and is not limited to this.

[0064] Thus, the above structure can prevent the powder scraper 60 from bending and extend the service life of the powder scraper 60.

[0065] Specifically, the powder scraper 60 and the stop 30 are manufactured separately and connected by welding, gluing, tight fit or snap-fit ​​structure; or the powder scraper 60 and the stop 30 are manufactured as one piece; it depends on the actual situation and is not limited to this.

[0066] In this invention, the powder scraper 60 is located at the powder inlet 50. During the process of the powder dispensing disc 20 moving to bring the powder storage cell 203 into the powder dispensing chamber 40, the powder scraper 60 scrapes off excess powder from the top of the powder storage cell 203. The powder in the powder storage cell 203 passes through the powder scraper 60 and falls from the powder dispensing port 103. In this way, it can be ensured that the amount of powder entering the powder dispensing chamber 40 from each powder storage cell 203 is consistent, thereby achieving quantitative powder dispensing. Moreover, the powder scraper 60 does not obstruct the movement of the powder dispensing disc 20.

[0067] In this embodiment of the utility model, the baffle 30 further includes an annular support portion 302 and a plurality of spokes 303. The baffle portion 301 and the spokes 303 are both disposed on the inner side of the annular support portion 302, and the spokes 303 are disposed on the side of the baffle portion 301. The baffle portion 301, the spokes 303 and the annular support portion 302 are connected to each other. The plurality of spokes 303 are arranged at intervals along the annular support portion 302. A powder inlet 303 is formed between adjacent spokes 303, or a powder inlet 303 is formed between the spokes 303 and the baffle portion 301. The annular support portion 302 has a powder guiding slope 305 that is inclined towards the center. The powder inlet 303 is provided in conjunction with the powder storage grid 203, and the powder enters the powder storage grid 203 from the powder inlet 303.

[0068] Specifically, the annular support 302 is in the shape of a ring, which can support the powder placed on it and guide the powder to the powder inlet 303 through the powder guiding slope 305, which facilitates the feeding of the powder.

[0069] Preferably, the shielding part 301, the annular support part 302 and the plurality of spokes 303 are interconnected and integrally formed.

[0070] In this embodiment of the utility model, there is an axial gap between the baffle 30 and the powder dispensing disc 20, the powder scraper 60 is disposed in the gap, and a separator 70 is also disposed in the gap. The powder scraper 60 and the separator 70 form an air jacket 80, which is disposed in the upper part of the powder falling chamber 40. The shielding part 301 is provided with an exhaust hole 90, which is interconnected with the air jacket 80 and the powder falling chamber 40.

[0071] It should be noted that the vent hole 90 is a micropore with a diameter ranging from 0.05cm to 0.2cm. The size of the vent hole 90 is designed to allow for venting, but prevents powder from entering the powder discharge chamber 40 through the vent hole 90. The powder discharge chamber 40 is a completely isolated chamber. The powder discharge chamber 40, equipped with the vent hole 90 and the air interlayer 80, facilitates the falling of powder and prevents powder from accumulating in the powder storage compartment 203, thereby achieving quantitative powder discharge.

[0072] Specifically, the separator 70 and the stop 30 are made separately and connected by welding, gluing, tight fit or snap-fit ​​structure; or the separator 70 and the stop 30 are made as one piece; depending on the actual situation, it is not limited to this.

[0073] In this embodiment of the present invention, the gap forms a pressure relief chamber 100, which is separated from the powder discharge chamber 40 and the air jacket 80. The powder discharge dial 20 moves to allow the powder storage grid 203 to enter the powder discharge chamber 40 to deliver powder, and excess powder enters the pressure relief chamber 100. The powder discharge structure that can achieve continuous powder discharge also includes a first material feeding component 110, which is disposed in the gap and is disposed on the lower end face of the baffle 30. The first material feeding component 110 is used to push the powder in the pressure relief chamber 100 out along the powder discharge dial 20.

[0074] Specifically, the first feeding component 110 is disposed on the lower end face of the stop 30, and the lower end face of the first feeding component 110 abuts against the upper end face of the powder dispensing disk 20.

[0075] Specifically, the first material feeder 110 is arc-shaped. The first material feeder 110 can be rib-shaped, rod-shaped, sheet-shaped, or plate-shaped, etc., depending on the actual situation, with the aim of achieving material feeding, and is not limited to this.

[0076] Specifically, the first feed piece 110 and the stop piece 30 are made as one piece; or the first feed piece 110 and the stop piece 30 are made separately and connected by welding, gluing, tight fit or snap-fit ​​structure, depending on the actual situation and not limited to this.

[0077] In this invention, there is an axial gap between the baffle 30 and the powder dispensing disc 20, forming a pressure relief chamber 100. The powder dispensing disc 20 moves to allow the powder storage grid 203 to enter the powder discharge chamber 40 to deliver powder. Excess powder enters the pressure relief chamber 100, and at the same time, the first material feeding component 110 pushes the powder in the pressure relief chamber 100 out along the powder dispensing disc 20. The above structure can prevent powder from clogging and interfering with the rotation of the powder dispensing disc 20, thus ensuring smooth powder dispensing.

[0078] In this embodiment of the utility model, the powder dispensing structure that enables continuous powder dispensing further includes a powder dispensing wheel 120. The powder dispensing wheel 120 is disposed above the stop 30 and is movably disposed relative to the stop 30. The powder dispensing wheel 120 is used to push the powder into the powder inlet 303. The powder dispensing wheel 120 includes at least one second feeding element 1201.

[0079] Preferably, there are two second feeding components 1201, and the two second feeding components 1201 are arranged at intervals.

[0080] Specifically, the second material feeder 1201 can be rib-shaped, rod-shaped, sheet-shaped, or plate-shaped, depending on the actual situation, as long as it can achieve the material feeder function, and is not limited to this.

[0081] In this embodiment of the utility model, the powder dispensing dial 20 and the powder dispensing wheel 120 are both rotatably arranged relative to the stop 30. The powder dispensing dial 20 and the powder dispensing wheel 120 are connected to the same rotating shaft 130, which is the power input end. The stop 30 and the powder storage tank 10 are fixedly arranged relative to the powder dispensing dial 20 and the powder dispensing wheel 120.

[0082] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 130 can be connected to a drive source, which is a motor. Of course, the rotation of the powder dispensing dial 20 relative to the stop 30 and the powder storage tank 10 can also be achieved by manually cranking the rotating shaft 130. The method of driving the powder dispensing dial 20 to rotate depends on the actual situation and is not limited to this.

[0083] More specifically, the powder dispensing wheel 120, the stop 30, the powder dispensing dial 20, and the powder storage tank 10 are coaxially arranged, and the powder dispensing wheel 120 and the powder dispensing dial 20 are both fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 130.
