[0002] Soup powder or soup noodles are very common ingredients and a kind of food often consumed in people's lives. Usually, soup powder or soup noodles are made from dry ingredients or wet ingredients, and when making them, the cooking work of soup powder or soup noodles depends on chefs or producers. With the continuous acceleration of the urban life rhythm, relying on manual labor for the cooking work of soup powder or soup noodles takes a long time, and the required labor cost and venue rental cost are relatively high, and the business hours are short, which cannot meet the needs of night consumers. In order to meet the needs of consumers and the market, there are already automatic powder and noodle manufacturing and selling devices on the market.

[0003] However, for the existing automatic powder and noodle devices on the market, when processing dry ingredients (such as dry powder and dry noodles), there is extremely likely a problem of messy dry ingredients when discharging the dry ingredients. Due to the messiness of the dry ingredients, problems such as difficult metering and unsmooth feeding occur during subsequent processing of the dry ingredients. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a dry noodle dispenser that can ensure that the dry noodles always fall vertically from top to bottom, reduce the mutual interference caused by the flow between the dry noodles in the container, and keep the noodles in the container flat and orderly.

[0049] The working principle of this embodiment is generally as follows: When using this automatic dry noodle dispenser, first, through the control system on the automatic noodle-making and selling equipment, control the first power source 31 to drive the belt transmission assembly 32 to move, drive the pushing assembly clamped on the belt to push the partition plate 22 to move, so as to push the stored dry noodles to the discharge end of the frame body 1; then control the third power source 51 to drive the plug board 52 to temporarily close the discharge end, and separate the dry noodles to be released and the stored dry noodles. Such an operation can reduce the mutual interference caused by the flow between the dry noodles stored in the storage and pushing device 2, and ensure the neatness of the stored dry noodles; finally, drive the transmission assembly 43 to move through the second power source 41, so that the transmission assembly 43 drives the discharge plate 422 to move, thereby instantly opening the closed discharge port 11. After the discharge port 11 is opened, the dry noodles stored between the discharge plate 422 and the plug board 52 always fall vertically from top to bottom, thus ensuring the flatness of the falling of the dry noodles and facilitating the subsequent release of the dry noodles. In addition, after the dry noodles between a group of partition plates 22 are completely released, the pushing assembly 33 continues to push forward, and pushes the partition plate 22 into the storage part 12 of the frame body 1 for stacking and storage until all the dry noodles stored in the entire dry noodle dispenser are completely released. The self-discharging dry noodle dispenser set in this way has the advantages of orderly and flat dry noodle feeding process, accurate feeding amount, simple feeding, ingenious design and small occupied space.

[0050] Based on the above solution, this embodiment also provides a method for discharging dry noodles, and the method includes the following steps:

[0051] S1. Prepare the automatic dry noodle dispenser as described above and dry noodles adapted to the internal size of the storage and pushing device 2, and the length of the dry noodles should be suitable for the width of the lunch box;

[0052] S2. Control the first power source 31 to drive the partition plate 22 to move through the control system of the automatic noodle-making and selling equipment, so as to push the dry noodles stored between the partition plates 22 to the discharge end of the frame body 1. When all the dry noodles between an adjacent partition plate 22 are completely released, the first power source 31 continues to push the partition plate 22 to move, so as to store the partition plate 22 until all the dry noodles are completely released;

[0053] S3. When the dry noodles are at the discharge end, the control system controls the third power source 51 to drive the partition plate 22 to temporarily separate the dry noodles to be released and the stored dry noodles;

[0054] S4. The control system controls the second power source 41 to move, and controls the discharge assembly 42 to move through the transmission assembly 43, so that the discharge plate 422 is instantly opened, and the dry noodles between the discharge plate 422 and the plug board 52 fall under the action of gravity, completing the release of the dry noodles.

[0055] Using the above method, first, the stored dry noodles are sequentially pushed into the discharge end by the storage and pushing device 2, and then the dry noodles to be lowered are temporarily separated from the stored dry noodles by the metering and separating device 5, reducing the mutual interference caused by the flow between the dry noodles stored in the storage and pushing device 2, ensuring the neatness of the stored dry noodles. Finally, the dry noodles to be lowered are controlled by the dry goods out-of-warehouse device 4 to always fall vertically from top to bottom, with the advantages of smooth and orderly dry noodle feeding process, accurate feeding amount, simple feeding, ingenious design, and small occupied space.

[0056] The above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent replacements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention shall be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
