DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0033] The stirrer of the present invention includes a peripheral stirring portion and a central stirring portion connected to the peripheral stirring portion. In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the peripheral stirring portion and the central stirring portion on the stirrer, during the stirrer's rotation, the central stirring portion stirs the powdered seasoning in the middle of the barrel, while the peripheral stirring portion stirs the powdered seasoning near the barrel's sidewalls. This allows the stirrer to achieve 360-degree stirring and loosening without dead angles or blind spots, thereby preventing the powdered seasoning from clumping and allowing the powdered seasoning to be added normally and accurately measured, thereby improving the quality of dishes cooked by the automatic cooking machine.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1-6 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a feeding device, comprising:

[0036] A barrel 1, wherein a discharge port 11 is provided at the bottom of the barrel 1;

[0037] A feeder 2 provided at the discharge port 11;

[0038] A stirring assembly 3, wherein the stirring assembly 3 includes a stirrer 31 disposed in the barrel 1, and the stirrer 31 includes a peripheral stirring portion 311 and a middle stirring portion 312 connected to the peripheral stirring portion 311;

[0039] A driving assembly 4 drives the stirrer 31 to rotate.

[0040] In the present invention, the middle stirring portion 312 of the agitator 31 is used to stir the powdered seasoning in the middle of the barrel 1, specifically refers to stirring the powdered seasoning in the area away from the side wall of the barrel 1, or refers to stirring the powdered seasoning in the area near the rotation center of the agitator 31. The peripheral stirring portion 311 of the agitator 31 is used to stir the powdered seasoning close to the side wall of the barrel 1. In addition, the agitator 31 performs a full circular motion of 360 degrees. In this way, the stirring area covers the entire cross-section of the barrel 1, so that the agitator 31 can perform 360-degree stirring and loosening without dead angles or blind spots in the barrel 1, thereby preventing the powdered seasoning in the barrel 1 from agglomerating.

[0041] Specifically, the agitators 31 can be divided into the following three categories:

[0042] 1. The peripheral stirring portion 311 is provided at one end of the stirrer 31 close to the discharge port 11, that is, the peripheral stirring portion 311 is provided at one end of the stirrer 31, and the middle stirring portion 312 is provided at the other end, and the peripheral stirring portion 311 is close to the discharge port 11. Optionally, the stirrer 31 can be a variable diameter spring with a small diameter at one end and a large diameter at the other end, or the above-mentioned variable diameter spring form can be made of a strip (steel strip), the small diameter portion constitutes the middle stirring portion 312, and the large diameter portion constitutes the peripheral stirring portion 311, which can prevent the powdered seasoning from agglomerating along the side wall of the barrel 1 near the discharge port 11, thereby keeping the powdered seasoning near the discharge port 11 in a loose state without agglomeration;

[0043] Second, the middle part of the stirrer 31 is the middle stirring part 312, and the two ends are the peripheral stirring parts 311, that is, the stirrer 31 is dumbbell-shaped. Optionally, the stirrer 31 can be a variable diameter spring with a small diameter in the middle and large diameters at both ends, or the above-mentioned variable diameter spring form can be made of a strip (steel strip), the small diameter part in the middle constitutes the middle stirring part 312, and the large diameter parts at both ends constitute the peripheral stirring parts 311, which can prevent the powdered seasoning from agglomerating along the side wall of the barrel 1 near the feed port 12 and the discharge port 11, thereby keeping the powdered seasoning near the feeder 2 and the feed port 12 in a loose state without agglomeration;

[0044] 3. A peripheral stirring portion 311 is provided at one end of the stirrer 31, and a central stirring portion 312 is provided at the other end, and the central stirring portion 312 is close to the discharge port 11. Since the feed port 12 of the barrel 1 is most likely to be in contact with the external air and is therefore most susceptible to moisture and agglomeration, this structure can prevent the powdered seasoning from agglomerating along the side wall of the barrel 1 near the feed port 12, thereby keeping the powdered seasoning near the feed port 12 near the side wall of the barrel 1 in a loose state without agglomeration.

[0045] Since the agitator 31 in the present invention prevents the powdered seasoning from agglomerating by stirring through rotation, multiple agitators 31 can be provided for use in a wider barrel 1 so that all areas in the barrel 1 can be stirred to prevent the occurrence of blind stirring areas.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present invention, a peripheral stirring portion 311 and a middle stirring portion 312 are provided on the stirrer 31. During the rotation of the stirrer 31, the middle stirring portion 312 is used to stir the powdered seasoning in the middle of the barrel 1, and the peripheral stirring portion 311 is used to stir the powdered seasoning near the side wall of the barrel 1. The stirrer 31 can perform 360-degree stirring and loosening without dead angles or blind spots, thereby preventing the powdered seasoning from agglomerating and allowing the powdered seasoning to be added normally and accurately measured, thereby improving the quality of dishes cooked by the automatic cooking machine.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the stirring assembly 3 also includes a first rotating shaft 32 driven by the driving assembly 4 and a second rotating shaft 33 connected to the agitator 31 at one end, the first rotating shaft 32 is perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 33, and a first bevel gear 34 is provided on the circumference of the first rotating shaft 32, and a second bevel gear 35 is provided at the other end of the second rotating shaft 33, and the first bevel gear 34 is meshed with the second bevel gear 35.

[0049] A first bevel gear 34 is provided on the circumference of the first rotating shaft 32, so that the first bevel gear 34 can rotate with the first rotating shaft 32. A second bevel gear 35 is provided at the other end of the second rotating shaft 33, so that the second bevel gear 35 can rotate with the second rotating shaft 33. The second bevel gear 35 is provided at the end of the second rotating shaft 33, which can prevent the second rotating shaft 33 and the first rotating shaft 32 from interfering with each other when the first bevel gear 34 and the second bevel gear 35 are engaged. Of course, providing the first bevel gear 34 at the end of the first rotating shaft 32 is an equivalent embodiment and has the same effect.

[0050] In the present invention, the first rotating shaft 32 is perpendicular to the second rotating shaft 33, but not absolutely perpendicular. The first rotating shaft 32 and the second rotating shaft 33 can also be set at an angle close to vertical. The purpose of this setting is to change the position of the power member of the drive assembly 4, so that the position of the power member is not limited to being set at the end of the second rotating shaft 33. The end of the first rotating shaft 32 can also drive the agitator 31 to rotate. Specifically, the power member drives the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate, and the first rotating shaft 32 drives the first bevel gear 34 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 35 meshing with the first bevel gear 34 to rotate. The second bevel gear 35 then drives the second rotating shaft 33 to rotate, which in turn drives the agitator 31 to rotate. Since the end of the second rotating shaft 33 is close to the feed port 12 of the barrel 1, if the power member is set at the end of the second rotating shaft 33, it will block the feed port 12 of the barrel 1, making it inconvenient to add material to the barrel 1 and increasing the height of the entire feeding device.

[0051] Through the above-mentioned structural design, the embodiment of the present invention can set the power part beside the feeding device, which will not block the feed port 12 of the barrel 1, facilitate feeding into the barrel 1, and reduce the height of the entire feeding device. It can also enable the agitator 31 and the feeder 2 to share the same power part, using one less power part, saving hardware costs and reducing power consumption.

[0052] Example 3

[0053] like Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the feeder 2 is a circular roller driven by the driving assembly 4, a plurality of metering cavities 21 are provided on the circumferential surface of the circular roller, and the opposite sides of the circular roller are in contact with the opposite inner walls of the discharge port 11.

[0054] Specifically, the metering cavity 21 may be V-shaped, straight-shaped, or other shapes.

[0055] like Figure 3 As shown, in the present invention, the discharge port 11 is a rectangular outlet, the axis direction of the circular roller is the same as the length direction of the rectangular outlet, and the circular roller is located in the discharge port 11, and its width is slightly larger than the diameter of the circular roller or equal to the diameter of the circular roller, so that the opposite side edges of the circular roller can abut against the opposite two inner side walls in the width direction of the discharge port 11, thereby blocking the discharge port 11, so that the powdered seasoning in the barrel 1 will not fall from the discharge port 11, and due to the action of gravity, the powdered seasoning enters the metering cavity 21 of the feeder 2 on the side close to the inside of the barrel 1.

[0056] Furthermore, both ends of the feeder 2 are mounted on the barrel 1 via second bearings 5, ensuring smooth rotation. Specifically, mounting holes are provided on both sides of the longitudinal wall of the discharge port 11, within which the second bearings 5 ​​are positioned. The ends of the feeder 2 are connected to the second bearings 5 ​​within the mounting holes on both sides of the longitudinal wall of the discharge port 11. A first sealing ring 6 is also provided between the feeder 2 and the barrel 1 to prevent the powdered seasoning from escaping through the mounting holes.

[0057] During feeding, the drive assembly 4 drives the feeder 2 to rotate. The powdered seasoning in the metering chamber 21 on the inner side of the feeder 2 near the barrel 1 rotates with the feeder 2. After the metering chamber 21 of the feeder 2 filled with powdered seasoning rotates out of the barrel 1, due to the action of gravity, the powdered seasoning falls from the metering chamber 21 into the pot, completing one feeding. Since the volume of the metering chamber 21 is fixed and the number of metering chambers 21 on the feeder 2 is also fixed, the amount of powdered seasoning added can be calculated for each rotation of the feeder 2. Then, the metering chambers 21 are evenly distributed on the circumference of the feeder 2. Then, based on the angle of rotation of the feeder 2, the number of metering chambers 21 of powdered seasoning added can be calculated, thereby calculating the total amount of powdered seasoning added. Therefore, the present invention can control the total amount of powdered seasoning added by controlling the angle of rotation of the feeder 2, so that the powdered seasoning added to the pot is appropriate, thereby cooking delicious dishes.

[0058] Example 4

[0059] like Figure 2 、 Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the driving component 4 includes:

[0060] a first rotating wheel 41 connected to the first rotating shaft 32;

[0061] A second rotating wheel 42 connected to the feeder 2;

[0062] a synchronous belt 43 provided between the first rotating wheel 41 and the second rotating wheel 42;

[0063] A power member (not shown) connected to the first rotating wheel 41 or the second rotating wheel 42 .

[0064] In an embodiment of the present invention, the power member is connected to the first rotating wheel 41 or the second rotating wheel 42, thereby driving one of the first rotating wheel 41 or the second rotating wheel 42 to rotate, and then driving the synchronous belt 43 to rotate, and then driving the other rotating wheel to rotate, so that the first rotating wheel 41 connected to the first rotating shaft 32 and the second rotating wheel 42 connected to the discharger 2 rotate, thereby realizing that the first rotating shaft 32 and the discharger 2 are driven to rotate by one power member at the same time.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present invention, the power component is a motor, and the synchronous belt 43 can be a rack, a belt, a chain, etc.

[0066] Example 5

[0067] like Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating wheel 41 or the second rotating wheel 42 is detachably connected to the power member.

[0068] Specifically, a motor drive interface (not shown in the figure) is set on the output shaft of the power part, and a transfer shaft 421 is set on the first rotating wheel 41 or the second rotating wheel 42 connected to the power part. The motor drive interface and the transfer shaft 421 are quick-connect structures that can cooperate with each other and are detachable.

In an optional embodiment, the first anti-rotation portion is a block provided on the motor drive interface, and the second anti-rotation portion 4211 is a slot provided on the adapter shaft 421, the slot extending all the way through the end of the adapter shaft 421, and the block can be inserted into the slot from the end of the adapter shaft 421; when the adapter shaft 421 and the motor drive interface are installed together, the block is fixed on the slot, so that the adapter shaft 421 and the motor drive interface cannot rotate, so that the power member can drive the first rotating wheel 41 and the second rotating wheel 42 to rotate through the adapter shaft 421, and then drive the feeder 2 and the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate. In another optional embodiment, the first anti-rotation portion is a card provided on the motor drive interface, and the second anti-rotation portion 4211 is a fastener provided on the adapter shaft 421, the card and the fastener can be snap-connected, and the adapter shaft 421 and the motor drive interface are connected together by snapping. In another optional embodiment, a protrusion is provided in the inner hole of the motor drive interface as a first anti-rotation part, and a corresponding recess is provided on the outside of the adapter shaft 421 as a second anti-rotation part 4211, or the inner hole of the motor drive interface is elliptical, square, or triangular, and the outside of the adapter shaft 421 is a shape that is compatible with the inner hole of the motor drive interface, so that there is no relative rotation between the adapter shaft 421 and the motor drive interface, so that the power part can drive the first rotating wheel 41 and the second rotating wheel 42 to rotate through the adapter shaft 421, and then drive the discharger 2 and the first rotating shaft 32 to rotate.

[0070] Example 6
