Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rice storage containers, and in particular to a rice storage device and a rice discharging control method. Background Art

[0002] Traditional rice buckets are typically used solely as a container for rice. Before cooking, you need to open the lid and manually remove the ingredients. This can cause impurities to fall into the rice bucket, especially small insects, which can breed rice weevils over time. Some rice buckets have a rice spout, but these automatically dispense rice. However, the accuracy of the rice dispensed cannot be controlled, and the amount of rice automatically dispensed deviates significantly from the set amount. This can result in either too much or not enough rice left after cooking, seriously impacting the user experience and daily life.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, this patent makes technical improvements and breakthroughs to the problem of poor accuracy in automatic rice dispensing by smart rice buckets. Summary of the Invention

[0013] S3, comparing the first rice output amount M21 with the preset error value;

[0014] S4. Control the rice output of the second rice output device according to the comparison result.

[0015] In one embodiment, step S2 further includes controlling the first rice discharging device to stop discharging rice when the second gravity sensor senses the first rice discharging amount M21.

[0016] In one embodiment, controlling the rice output of the second rice output device according to the comparison result includes:

[0020] When the second gravity sensor senses the weight of M22, the first rice discharging device stops discharging rice and calculates the total rice discharging amount M21 + M22;

[0034] As another embodiment of the present invention, unlike the above-mentioned embodiment, the rice dispensing device 2 in this embodiment includes a base 21, a rice storage base 22 mounted on the base 21, a rice dispensing opening 23 defined on the rice storage base 22, and a ball valve assembly 24 mounted on the rice dispensing opening 23 for controlling the opening and closing of the rice dispensing opening. The ball valve assembly 24 is connected to a motor assembly 25, which is electrically connected to the controller and configured to rotate the ball valve assembly 24. Thus, the motor assembly 25 cooperates with the ball valve assembly 24 to rotate the ball valve assembly 24, thereby opening or closing the rice dispensing opening. Furthermore, both the motor assembly 25 and the ball valve assembly 24 are fixedly mounted on the base 21, thereby achieving automated control of the rice dispensing.

Thus, it is convenient for people to take rice.

[0036] As another embodiment of the present invention, unlike the above embodiment, the gravity sensor 3 in this embodiment includes a first gravity sensor 301 and a second gravity sensor 302, each of which is electrically connected to the controller. The first gravity sensor 301 is mounted on the base 21 of the first rice-dispensing device 201, and the second gravity sensor 302 is mounted on the base 21 of the second rice-dispensing device 202. This allows for control of the rice dispensing amount, making it easier to monitor the amount of rice dispensing in real time.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, a rice output control method for a rice storage device includes the following methods:

[0038] S1. Obtain preset rice output information M;

[0039] That is, the user selects the rice output amount M and confirms it. The control chip (not shown) receives the instruction and then controls the first rice output device to output rice. The rice output amount M21=M(100-8)%;

[0040] S2, controlling the first rice output amount M21 of the first rice output device according to the obtained preset rice output amount information, and calculating the rice output time T1;

[0047] When the second gravity sensor senses the weight of M22, the first rice discharging device stops discharging rice and calculates the total rice discharging amount M21 + M22;

[0048] Compare the total rice output M21+M22 with the preset error value M(100±10)%. When the total rice output M21+M22 is equal to the preset error value, control the rice output M2 of the second rice output device to output rice according to M21+M22; otherwise, enter the loop until the total rice output is within the preset error value range.
