[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-3 As shown, a discharging structure 10 includes a discharging body 11, an automatic flip cover 15 and a counterweight 13. An outlet 111 is provided on the rear side of the discharging body 11, an opening is provided on the upper end of the discharging body 11, the automatic flip cover 15 is rotatably connected to the opening, and a discharging cavity is formed between the discharging body 11 and the automatic flip cover 15; the counterweight 13 is located in the discharging cavity and is fixedly connected to the automatic flip cover 15.

[0039] The rotational connection between the discharging body 11 and the automatic flip cover 15 and the counterweight block 13 can realize the automatic opening and closing of the upper end opening of the discharging body 11, so that when the discharging structure 10 is tilted, the condiments are automatically poured out evenly through the discharging cavity.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rotational connection and cooperation between the discharging body 11 and the automatic flip cover 15 is realized by the rotating shaft 14, and a first pivot hole 112 is opened on the upper side of the side wall of the discharging body 11; a second pivot hole 152 is opened at the rear end of the automatic flip cover 15. There are two ways to realize the rotation. One is that the rotating shaft 14 and the automatic flip cover 15 rotate together, that is, the two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotationally connected with the first pivot hole 112, and the rotating shaft 14 rotates through the second pivot hole 152 and is fixedly connected with the automatic flip cover 15. The other way is that the rotating shaft 14 is fixed, and the automatic flip cover 15 rotates around the rotating shaft 14, that is, the two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are fixedly connected with the first pivot hole 112, and the rotating shaft passes through the second pivot hole 152 and is rotationally connected with the automatic flip cover 15.

[0041] The counterweight 13 is preferably located at the rear of the automatic flap 15 and forms a certain angle with the automatic flap 15, so that when the discharging structure 10 is tilted, the automatic flap 15 is driven to rotate by the gravity of the counterweight 13 to realize the automatic opening and closing of the opening. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a connecting plate 151 extends downward from the rear end of the automatic flap 15, and the counterweight 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 151. Of course, the counterweight 13 can also be rotatably connected to the connecting plate 151.

[0042] In order to prevent the discharging structure 10 from directly hitting the automatic flip cover 15 during discharging and thus affecting or blocking the smooth opening and closing of the automatic flip cover 15, an anti-collision baffle 12 is added in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The anti-collision baffle 12 is fixedly connected in the discharge cavity. The anti-collision baffle 12 is located between the counterweight block 13 and the outlet 111 and does not affect the rotation of the automatic flip cover 15. The upper end surface of the anti-collision baffle 12 is an arc-shaped plate 121. The rear end of the arc-shaped plate 121 is in close contact with the rear end surface of the discharge body 11 to prevent the condiment from leaking back to the outlet 111 from there. The front end of the arc-shaped plate 121 extends toward the opening, that is, when the discharge structure 10 is tilted, it flows out toward the opening along the lower end surface of the arc-shaped plate 121. Downward extending mounting plates are arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped plate 121. The outer side of each mounting plate is fixedly connected with a first protrusion 122. The first buckle groove 113 matching the first protrusion 122 is arranged at the corresponding positions on both sides of the discharge body 11. The first protrusion 122 is buckled into the first buckle groove 113 to realize the assembly of the anti-collision baffle 12.

[0043] For general condiments, the structure of the outlet 111 is not limited, that is, the condiments in the storage cavity can be poured out by the outlet 111. However, for salt, the crystal structure, fluidity, and water absorption rate of salt are different from those of other materials, so the size of the salt outlet 111 is different from that of other materials (such as sugar). Therefore, for salt, the outlet 111 is set to be T-shaped. The T-shaped outlet 111 includes a first part and a second part. The first part is formed between the front end surface of the discharge body 11 and the bottom surface of the discharge body 11, and the second part is opened on the bottom surface of the discharge body 11. The first part and the second part are connected. The T-shaped outlet can effectively solve the problem of the amount of salt discharged and the salt return.
