Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic scales, and in particular to a food quantity detection device and a detection method for food quantity detection used for food receipt. Background Art

[0002] When receiving food, you need to use an electronic scale to weigh the weight of the food. The main purpose of weighing food is to prevent moisture from entering the sensor and causing damage during the weighing process, thereby extending the service life of the electronic scale and facilitating long-term storage and use. This is a technical revelation for electronic scales.

[0003] Research on electronic scales found the following problems:

[0004] When weighing food with water, the electronic scale seals the sensor with a sealed shell, and the sensor is set at the bottom of the scale pan. When the food with water is placed on the scale pan surface, the water drips down under the action of gravity with impact force and flows along the scale pan surface to its edge. The water droplets slide down from the edge to the inner edge of the bottom of the scale pan and then drip. In the case of a lot of water, the water droplets may continue to erode the sealed shell of the sensor through the edge of the scale pan. The water droplets are not discharged for a long time and soak the sealed shell, causing the water droplets to enter the sealed shell, thereby failing to achieve the purpose of extending the life of the electronic scale;

[0005] At present, CN110332977A in the prior art discloses a waterproof and moisture-proof Internet of Things visual scale, which discloses an electronic scale. The invention comprises a waterproof and moisture-proof breathable component made of an ePTFE membrane, which is sealed and connected to the sensor module and the shell surface of the electronic scale instrument. The component has low cost and simple structure. When applied to the sensor module of the electronic scale, it can not only play the role of sealing, waterproof and moisture-proof, but also form an air flow channel to ensure the detection accuracy of the sensor module; when applied to the electronic scale instrument, it can also play the role of sealing, waterproof and moisture-proof, but also form an air flow channel to play a role of heat dissipation;

[0006] The present invention can mainly solve the problem that water droplets slide down from the edge to the inner edge of the bottom of the scale pan and then continue to corrode the sealed shell after dripping, resulting in the water droplets entering the sealed shell and failing to extend the life of the electronic scale.

A connecting rod is arranged at the center of the transmission gear, the first bevel gear is installed at one end of the connecting rod close to the transmission gear, the second bevel gear is installed at one end of the connecting rod away from the transmission gear, the third bevel gear is arranged on the outer side surface of the second bevel gear, a screw is installed on one side of the third bevel gear, and a sub-disk is arranged at one end of the screw away from the third bevel gear.

[0017] Furthermore, the sub-pan is embedded in the bottom of the weighing pan, and the sub-pan is matched with the through holes on the left and right sides of the weighing pan.

The two sub-pans, four screw rods and four third bevel gears are all mirrored with the connecting rod as the center.

[0018] Furthermore, a method for detecting the quantity of food for food delivery is provided, wherein the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0019] S1: Start the switch button, then place the food on the upper surface of the scale plate. When the sensor receiving end inside the sensor waterproof cover receives the weight signal, it converts the signal into a digital signal and displays it on the screen;

[0020] S2: The food moves the scale pan downward due to its own gravity. The scale pan is under pressure and pushes the sensor waterproof cover downward. The sensor waterproof cover moves downward to make the reset spring squeeze the pressure plate. At the same time, the reset spring is compressed by the reaction force of the pressure plate.

[0021] S3: The return spring is compressed and moves through the arc strip on the outer side to the opening of the first through hole on the right side of the bottom of the sensor waterproof cover, thereby driving the driving gear to rotate through the gear teeth between the driving gears;

[0022] S4: The driving gear causes the connecting gear to drive the transmission gear to rotate, and the connecting rod rotates with the transmission gear and drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear rotate with the connecting rod, so that the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear respectively drive the two third bevel gears to rotate;

[0023] S5: The four screws are meshed with the threads on the inner walls of the four through holes on the adjacent sides of the two sub-pans, so that the four screws rotate and the two sub-pans move backwards, and the two sub-pans move to the outer sides of the weighing pan through the through holes on the left and right sides of the weighing pan, thereby expanding the weighing area of ​​the weighing pan;

[0024] S6: The scale pan moves downward under the action of gravity so that the support rod completely enters the through hole at the bottom of the sensor waterproof cover, so that the scale pan and the sensor waterproof cover are attached to the ground at the same time. The sensor waterproof cover increases stability through the anti-slip pad. The scale pan is attached to the ground to prevent the food with moisture from flowing downward through the edge of the scale pan into the sensor and causing damage to it, thereby completing the measurement of the food weight.

[0025] Beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The weight of the food causes the force to move downward. During this process, the sensor waterproof cover is subjected to the pressure of the scale pan to weigh the food through the internal sensor. At the same time, the scale pan is subjected to the pressure to push the sensor waterproof cover downward. The sensor waterproof cover moves downward under the gravity and drives the reset spring inside the four through holes to move downward. The reset spring moves downward and is squeezed and compressed by the pressure plate. In the process of the reset spring being squeezed by the pressure, the arc strip set on the outer side of the reset spring moves with the squeezing. The arc strip set on the outer side of the reset spring passes through the opening of the first through hole on the right side of the sensor waterproof cover to rotate the driving gear. At this time, the connecting gear rotates with the driving gear.

[0027] 2. The transmission gear drives the connecting rod to rotate, and the connecting rod drives the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear to rotate at the same time. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear respectively drive the two third bevel gears to rotate, so that the four third bevel gears drive the four screws to rotate at the same time. The four screws are meshed with the threads of the inner walls of the four through holes on the adjacent side of the two sub-disks, so that the two sub-disks move backwards while the four screws rotate. The two sub-disks move to the outer side through the through holes on the left and right sides of the weighing pan, thereby achieving the purpose of expanding the weighing pan area and improving the efficiency of weighing food.

[0028] 3. During the downward movement of the reset spring, it is squeezed and compressed by the pressure plate, so that the support rod completely enters the bottom through hole of the sensor waterproof cover, so that the anti-slip pad at the bottom of the sensor waterproof cover fits the ground, and the scale pan fits the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the scale pan when weighing food. At the same time, the scale pan fits the ground to prevent the moisture in the food from flowing downward through the edge of the scale pan into the sensor and damaging it.

S3: The return spring (102) is compressed and moves through the arc strip on the outer side to the opening of the first through hole on the right side of the bottom of the sensor waterproof cover (2), thereby driving the driving gear (104) to rotate through the gear teeth between the driving gears (104); S4: the driving gear (104) causes the connecting gear (105) to drive the transmission gear (401) to rotate, and the connecting rod (403) simultaneously rotates following the transmission gear (401) and drives the connecting rod (403) to rotate, and the first bevel gear (402) and the second bevel gear (404) rotate following the connecting rod (403), so that the first bevel gear (402) and the second bevel gear (404) respectively drive the two third bevel gears (407) to rotate; S5: The four screws (406) are meshed with the threads on the inner walls of the four through holes on the adjacent sides of the two sub-disks (405), so that the four screws (406) rotate and simultaneously the two sub-disks (405) move in opposite directions, and the two sub-disks (405) move to the outer side of the weighing pan (4) through the through holes on the left and right sides of the weighing pan (4), thereby expanding the weighing area of ​​the weighing pan (4); S6: The weighing pan (4) moves downward under the action of gravity so that the support rod (101) completely enters the through hole at the bottom of the sensor waterproof cover (2), so that the weighing pan (4) and the sensor waterproof cover (2) are simultaneously attached to the ground, and the sensor waterproof cover (2) is provided with an anti-slip pad to increase stability. The weighing pan (4) is attached to the ground to prevent the food with moisture from flowing downward through the edge of the weighing pan (4) and into the sensor, thereby damaging the sensor, thereby completing the measurement of the food weight.
