Detailed Implementation

[0028] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] The following reference Figures 1 to 7 This application describes a mixing device 100 and a dispensing device 200 according to some embodiments. The mixing device 100 is applied to the dispensing device 200. Specifically, the dispensing device 200 can be a kitchen appliance, such as part of a smart cooking machine to supply seasonings, or it can be a standalone device used in conjunction with the cooking machine to supply seasonings. The dispensing device 200 includes the mixing device 100, which includes a container 110 for holding seasonings. The mixing part 130 of the mixing device 100 is disposed within the container 110 to mix the seasonings and prevent sedimentation of the seasonings (sauces, starch, etc.) within the container 110.

[0031] In current batching equipment, the mixing unit of the mixing device is usually fixed inside the material box, which is inconvenient to disassemble. As a result, when the mixing unit fails, the inconvenience of disassembling the mixing unit and the material box leads to difficulties in maintenance and low maintenance efficiency. If the mixing unit cannot be removed from the material box, the material box must be replaced at the same time, which is costly. At the same time, this setting makes it inconvenient to clean the material box.

[0032] In view of this, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the first aspect of this application, a stirring device 100 is provided, including: a material box 110, a first cover 120, and a stirring part 130. The material box 110 is used to contain seasonings and has a first connection hole 111. The first cover 120 is detachably connected to the material box 110 and located at the first connection hole 111. The stirring part 130 is connected to the first cover 120 and located inside the material box 110, and is used to stir the seasonings inside the material box 110.

[0033] The stirring device 100 provided in this application embodiment connects the stirring part 130 to the first cover 120, and the first cover 120 is detachably connected to the material box 110, thus achieving a detachable connection between the stirring part 130 and the material box 110. This design is simple in structure and easy to operate. When the first cover 120 is connected to the material box 110 and located at the first connecting hole 111, the stirring part 130 connected to the first cover 120 can be located inside the material box 110, enabling it to stir the seasonings inside the material box 110 and prevent sedimentation. When the first cover 120 is moved relative to the material box 110 to open the first connecting hole 111, the stirring part 130 connected to the first cover 120 can be located outside the material box 110, facilitating maintenance and cleaning of the stirring part 130 located outside the material box 110. This convenient operation improves maintenance and cleaning efficiency. Compared with related technologies where the entire material box needs to be replaced due to the inability to disassemble it when the mixing part fails, this method helps to save on replacement costs. Furthermore, since the mixing part 130 is located outside the material box 110 and does not occupy the internal space of the material box 110, it is convenient to clean the material box 110. At the same time, when the first cover 120 opens the first connection hole 111, it is convenient to clean the material box 110 through the first connection hole 111, which helps to improve cleaning efficiency and ensure good cleaning effect, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0034] The first cover 120 is detachably connected to the material box 110. This detachable connection can be achieved through threaded structures, magnetic structures, snap-fit ​​structures, etc., resulting in a simple structure and convenient assembly and disassembly. Specifically, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first cover 120 and the material box 110 are connected by a threaded structure. The first cover 120 and the material box 110 are set separately. The threaded structure is easy to process. At the same time, the connection is tight, which helps to ensure the sealing of the connection between the first cover 120 and the material box 110 and reduces the possibility of liquid in the material box 110 leaking from the gap between the first cover 120 and the material box 110.

[0035] Furthermore, the stirring unit 130 and the first cover 120 can be detachably connected. Different stirring units 130 can be selectively connected to the first cover 120 as needed to achieve different stirring effects, expanding the applicability of the device. Simultaneously, the detachable connection between the stirring unit 130 and the first cover 120 allows the stirring unit 130 to be removed from the first cover 120 after it has moved to the outside of the material box 110, enabling maintenance and cleaning. This further improves the convenience of maintenance and cleaning of the stirring unit 130. Additionally, the first cover 120 can be cleaned separately, making the operation convenient. It is understandable that during assembly, the stirring unit 130 can be connected to the first cover 120 first, and then the first cover 120 can be connected to the material box 110 to install the stirring unit 130 inside the material box 110, achieving simple assembly of the stirring unit 130 and the material box 110.

[0036] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stirring device 100 further includes: a second cover 140; a second connecting hole 112 is provided at a position opposite to the first connecting hole 111 on the material box 110, that is, the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112 are located on opposite sides of the material box 110. The second cover 140 is detachably connected to the material box 110 and is located at the second connecting hole 112; one end of the stirring part 130 away from the first cover 120 is adapted to be detachably connected to the second cover 140 and is rotatable relative to the second cover 140.

[0037] In other words, after the first cover 120 is connected to the material box 110 and the stirring part 130 is placed inside the material box 110, the end of the stirring part 130 away from the first material box 110 is connected to the second cover 140 and can rotate relative to the second cover 140. Therefore, during the operation of the stirring part 130, the second cover 140 can effectively support the stirring part 130, thereby improving the stability of the stirring part 130's operation. Simultaneously, the stirring part 130 and the second cover 140 are detachably connected. This design ensures that when the stirring part 130 moves from inside the material box 110 to outside the material box 110 along with the first cover 120, the second cover 140 and the stirring part 130 will not interfere with each other, allowing the stirring part 130 to be smoothly removed from the material box 110, ensuring the convenience and reliability of disassembling the stirring part 130 from the material box 110.

[0038] Furthermore, since the second cover 140 provides a certain support for the stirring part 130, and the stirring part 130 is rotatable relative to the second cover 140, the second cover 140 is prone to wear or damage. Therefore, the second cover 140 is designed to be detachably connected to the material box 110, which facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the second cover 140 and makes the operation convenient.

[0039] The second cover 140 is detachably connected to the material box 110. This detachable connection can be achieved through threaded structures, magnetic structures, snap-fit ​​structures, etc., resulting in a simple structure and convenient assembly and disassembly. Specifically, for example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second cover 140 and the material box 110 are connected by a threaded structure. The second cover 140 and the material box 110 are set separately. The threaded structure is easy to process. At the same time, the connection is tight, which helps to ensure the sealing of the connection between the second cover 140 and the material box 110 and reduces the possibility of liquid in the material box 110 leaking from the gap between the second cover 140 and the material box 110.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112 are located at the lower part of the material box 110, close to the bottom of the material box 110. This arrangement allows the first stirring part 130, after being installed inside the material box 110 through the first cover 120, to be close to the bottom of the material box 110 under the support of the second cover 140. Thus, the stirring part 130 can stir the seasonings near the bottom of the material box 110 and the seasonings around the stirring part 130, thereby preventing the possibility of sedimentation at the bottom of the material box 110 and achieving a good stirring and anti-sedimentation effect.

[0041] It is understandable that the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112 can also be set in other positions that meet the requirements, such as on the upper and lower sides of the material box 110, or the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112 can be set in two other opposite positions on the periphery of the material box 110, that is, the stirring part 130 can be set in other positions that meet the requirements, as long as it can ensure that the stirring part 130 has a good stirring and anti-sedimentation function.

[0042] Furthermore, since both the first cover 120 and the second cover 140 are detachably connected to the material box 110, when cleaning the material box 110 is required, the first cover 120 and the second cover 140 can be detached from the material box 110, and the material box 110 can be cleaned simultaneously using the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112. For example, a circulation path can be formed using the first connecting hole 111 and the second connecting hole 112, with water entering through one and exiting through the other. This cleaning operation improves the effectiveness of cleaning the material box 110. It is understood that either the first cover 120 or the second cover 140 can be connected to the material box 110, and the material box 110 can be cleaned using only the first connecting hole 111 or the second connecting hole 112. This simplifies the reassembly operation after cleaning.

[0043] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the second cover 140 is provided with a guide groove 141 on the side facing the first cover 120; the stirring part 130 includes a stirring rod 131, one end of the stirring rod 131 is detachably connected to the first cover 120, and the other end of the stirring rod 131 is adapted to be inserted into the guide groove 141 and can rotate in the guide groove 141.

[0044] The stirring rod 131 of the stirring section 130 rotates, enabling the stirring section 130 to stir the seasonings in the material box 110. One end of the stirring rod 131 is detachably connected to the first cover 120, allowing the entire stirring section 130 to be disassembled and connected to the first cover 120 through the disassembly and connection of the stirring rod 131 and the first cover 120. The structure is simple and easy to implement, and different stirring rods 131 of different stirring sections 130 can be connected to the first cover 120 as needed to achieve different stirring effects.

[0045] The second cover 140 has a guide groove 141 on the side facing the first cover 120. That is, after the second cover 140 is connected to the material box 110, the guide groove 141 is provided on the side of the second cover 140 facing the inside of the material box 110. When the stirring rod 131 is inside the material box 110, one end of the stirring rod 131 is connected to the first cover 120, and the end of the stirring rod 131 away from the first cover 120 can be inserted into the guide groove 141 and rotate within the guide groove 141, ensuring that the stirring rod 131 can rotate smoothly. The guide groove 141 provides good support for the stirring rod 131, enabling the stirring rod 131 to rotate stably.

[0046] Furthermore, the guide groove 141 is a circular groove. The design of the guide groove 141 restricts the range of motion of the stirring rod 131, further improving the stability of the stirring rod 131's rotation. Simultaneously, the guide groove 141 can be used for pre-positioning the assembly of the stirring part 130. For example, during assembly, the stirring part 130 connected to the first cover 120 can be extended into the material box 110. After inserting the end of the stirring rod 131 away from the first cover 120 into the guide groove 141, it indicates that the installation position of the stirring rod 131 is reasonable. Then, the first cover 120 is connected to the material box 110, allowing the stirring part 130 to be reliably and accurately installed in the material box 110, which helps improve assembly efficiency.

[0047] In this configuration, the stirring rod 131 can be detached from the first cover 120 for maintenance and cleaning when the stirring part 130 and the first cover 120 are located outside the material box 110, which improves the efficiency of maintenance and cleaning operations. During assembly, the stirring rod 131 can be connected to the first cover 120, and the second cover 140 can be connected to the material box 110. Then, the stirring rod 131 is inserted into the material box 110 and into the guide groove 141 of the second cover 140, and the first cover 120 is connected to the material box 110, thus assembling the stirring part 130 and the material box 110. This operation is convenient.

[0048] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the stirring section 130 also includes a first blade 132 and a second blade 133 distributed around the stirring rod 131, and the first blade 132 and the second blade 133 are used to stir the seasoning and prevent sedimentation.

[0049] In this design, along the axial direction of the stirring rod 131, the second blades 133 are distributed on both sides of the first blade 132, with the first blade 132 located in the middle of the second blades 133 on both sides. The second blades 133 guide the seasonings to move closer to the first blade 132, while the first blade 132 guides the seasonings to move radially along the stirring rod 131. This arrangement allows the second blades 133 on both sides to guide the seasonings towards the first blade 132 in the middle, causing the seasonings at both ends to flow towards the center. Guided by the first blade 132 in the middle, the seasonings move radially along the stirring rod 131, causing the seasonings in the middle to move up and down. After the seasonings above the stirring rod 131 move upward, under the action of gravity and the first blades 132, they will move downward from both ends of the middle section, forming a circulation path and circulating under the action of the first blades 132 on both sides.

[0050] In other words, the first blade 132 in the middle and the second blades 133 on both sides work together to circulate the seasoning in the container 110 from the middle to both ends, forming two circulation paths. This arrangement ensures thorough mixing of the liquid, creating a stable flow. The two circulation paths, one at each end and one in the middle, allow for thorough mixing and uniform blending of the stratified seasoning, ensuring effective stirring and preventing sedimentation. Figure 3 The direction indicated by the arrow in the diagram is the direction of liquid movement.

[0051] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first blade 132 is distributed along the axial direction of the stirring rod 131. The first blade 132 has a bent plate-like structure, and the bending line of the first blade 132 is parallel to the axis of the stirring rod 131. This arrangement ensures that the seasoning can move radially along the stirring rod 131 under the guidance of the first blade 132, thereby allowing the seasoning in the middle to move up and down, so that it flows downward from both ends under the action of gravity and the first blade 132.

[0052] The second blade 133 includes a first sub-blade 134 and a second sub-blade 135 distributed on both sides of the first blade 132. The first sub-blade 134 is closer to the first cover 120, and the second sub-blade 135 is closer to the second cover 140. The first sub-blade 134 is distributed along the axial direction of the stirring rod 131. The first blade 132 has a bent plate-like structure, and the bending line of the first sub-blade 134 intersects the axis of the stirring rod 131. Therefore, when the stirring rod 131 rotates, by reasonably setting the inclination direction and angle of the bending line of the first sub-blade 134 relative to the axial direction of the stirring rod 131, the seasoning moves from the first sub-blade 134 towards the direction closer to the first blade 132.

[0053] The second sub-blade 135 is inclined along the axis of the stirring rod 131 and is dovetail-shaped. Thus, when the stirring rod 131 rotates, by reasonably setting the inclination direction and inclination angle of the second sub-blade 135 relative to the axis of the stirring rod 131, the seasoning moves from the second sub-blade 135 toward the direction closer to the first blade 132.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, taking the clockwise rotation of the stirring rod 131 as an example, the bending line of the first sub-blade 134 is inclined upward from the direction of the first blade 132 to the second sub-blade 135, and the angle between the bending line of the first sub-blade 134 and the axis of the stirring rod 131 is 35° to 55°. The angle between the second sub-blade 135 and the axis of the stirring rod 131 is 30° to 60°. The distance between the front end 1351 of the second sub-blade 135 and the first blade 132 is greater than the distance between the rear end 1352 of the second sub-blade 135 and the first blade 132. In the clockwise direction, the front end 1351 of the second sub-blade 135 is located in front of the rear end 1352. Therefore, when the stirring rod 131 rotates clockwise, the seasoning can move well from the first sub-blade 134 and the second sub-blade 135 towards the first blade 132. Understandably, the angle between the bend line of the first sub-blade 134 and the axis of the stirring rod 131 can be 35°, 45°, 55°, or other angles that meet the requirements. The angle between the second sub-blade 135 and the axis of the stirring rod 131 can be 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, or other angles that meet the requirements.

[0055] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stirring device 100 also includes a third cover 150. The material box 110 also has a feeding port. The third cover 150 is detachably connected to the material box 110 and is located at the feeding port. Therefore, the third cover 150 can be removed from the material box 110, and the material box 110 can be replenished, fed, or have its contents changed using the feeding port. After the replenishment, feeding, or replacement operations are completed, the third cover 150 can be connected back to the material box 110 to close the third feeding port. This design facilitates replenishment and feeding of the material box 110 or replacement of seasonings, simplifies operation, and improves user satisfaction.

[0056] The third cover 150 is detachably connected to the material box 110. This detachable connection can be achieved through threaded structures, magnetic structures, or snap-fit ​​structures, resulting in a simple structure and convenient assembly / disassembly. Specifically, for example... Figure 1As shown, the third cover 150 and the material box 110 are connected by a threaded structure. The third cover 150 and the material box 110 are separate units. The threaded structure facilitates processing and ensures a tight connection, which helps guarantee the airtightness of the connection between the third cover 150 and the material box 110, reducing the possibility of liquid leakage from the material box 110 through the gap between them. It is understood that when cleaning the material box 110 is required, the third cover 150 can be selectively removed from the material box 110 to improve cleaning efficiency and ensure good cleaning results. Alternatively, to simplify the assembly tooling after cleaning, the material box 110 can be cleaned while the third cover 150 is still connected to the material box 110. Specifically, as... Figure 1 As shown, the feed inlet is located at the top of the material box 110.

[0057] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the stirring device 100 also includes a discharge pipe 160, which passes through and is detachably connected to the third cover 150. The discharge pipe 160 supplies the seasonings in the material box 110 to a designated location. The discharge pipe 160 is mounted on the material box 110 via the third cover 150, achieving a detachable connection between the discharge pipe 160 and the material box 110. This design allows for maintenance and cleaning of the discharge pipe 160 even when the third cover 150 is separated from the material box 110, and the discharge pipe 160 can be removed from the third cover 150 for maintenance and cleaning, making operation convenient. It also allows for replacement of the discharge pipe 160, reducing replacement costs. It is understood that connecting the discharge pipe 160 to the third cover 150 and connecting the third cover 150 to the material box 110 facilitates the assembly of the discharge pipe 160 and the material box, making operation convenient.

[0058] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided at the end of the discharge pipe 160 that extends into the material box 110. The one-way valve prevents the seasoning in the discharge pipe 160 from flowing back into the material box 110, thereby improving the accuracy of the feeding.

[0059] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the stirring device 100 further includes: a transmission member 170, which passes through the first cover 120 and is rotatably connected to the first cover 120; a stirring rod 131 is connected to the end of the transmission member 170 facing the inside of the material box 110; and a drive assembly 180, which is disposed outside the material box 110 and is detachably connected to the end of the transmission member 170 facing the outside of the material box 110. The drive assembly 180 is used to drive the stirring rod 131 to rotate through the transmission member 170.

[0060] The transmission component 170 is rotatably connected to the first cover 120, so that after the transmission component 170 is connected to the drive assembly 180 and the stirring rod 131, the drive assembly 180 drives the transmission component 170 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring rod 131 to rotate and achieve the function of stirring the seasoning and preventing sedimentation.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transmission component 170 is rotatably connected to the first cover 120 via a bearing 192. The transmission component 170 has a boss 172 located inside the material box 110 on its periphery. The transmission component 170 passes through the bearing 192, and the bearing 192 abuts between the boss 172 and the first cover 120 to realize the rotatable connection between the transmission component 170 and the first cover 120.

[0062] The drive assembly 180 is located outside the material box 110, facilitating maintenance from the outside of the box. This simplifies operation and prevents contamination of the seasonings inside the box, thus improving cleanliness. The drive assembly 180 is detachably connected to the transmission component 170, which is mounted on the first cover 120. This allows for the detachment of both the first cover 120 and the drive assembly 180, as well as the first cover 120 and the stirring rod 131, facilitating individual maintenance and cleaning of each component.

[0063] Furthermore, the transmission component 170 is a spline sleeve, with a first slot 173 and a second slot 174 provided at opposite ends. The first slot 173 faces the outside of the material box 110, and the second slot 174 faces the inside of the material box 110. The drive assembly 180 is detachably connected to the first slot 173, and the stirring rod 131 is detachably connected to the second slot 174. Specifically, the drive assembly 180 and the stirring rod 131 can be detachably connected to the transmission component 170 through threaded structures, snap-fit ​​structures, etc., which are not specifically limited in this application.

[0064] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the stirring device 100 also includes a retaining ring 190. A mounting groove 171 is provided on one side of the transmission member 170 outside the material box 110. The mounting groove 171 is located around the periphery of the transmission member 170. The retaining ring 190 is located within the mounting groove 171 and protrudes from the transmission member 170 to abut against the first cover 120. The retaining ring 190 provides a good limiting function. By abutting against the first cover 120, the transmission member 170 will not continue to move into the material box 110. This avoids the possibility of the end of the stirring rod 131 away from the first cover 120 colliding with the material box 110 or the second cover 140 and being damaged. This improves the reliability of the stirring part 130 and extends its service life.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the stirring device 100 also includes a sealing element 191. The sealing element 191 is disposed on the side of the first cover 120 facing the material box 110. The sealing element 191 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission member 170 and located between the transmission member 170 and the first cover 120. The sealing element 191 is provided to seal the gap between the transmission member 170 and the first cover 120, ensuring the airtightness of the rotational connection between the transmission member 170 and the first cover 120, and preventing the possibility of liquid leakage from the gap between the transmission member 170 and the first cover 120.

[0066] Specifically, the seal 191 is an oil seal, which is sleeved on the outside of the transmission component 170 and snapped onto the boss 172 of the transmission component 170. The bearing 192 and the oil seal are located on both sides of the boss 172, and the oil seal is embedded in the groove formed by the boss 172 and the first cover 120 to achieve a close fit with the transmission component 170 and the first cover 120, thereby ensuring a good sealing effect. It is understood that the seal 191 can also be other sealing structures that meet the requirements, and this application does not specifically limit it.

[0067] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly 180 includes a drive unit 181 and a transmission mechanism 182. The transmission mechanism 182 connects the drive unit 181 and the transmission component 170. That is, the power of the drive unit 181 is transmitted to the transmission component 170 through the transmission mechanism 182. The rotation of the transmission component 170 drives the stirring unit 130 to work in order to achieve the stirring and anti-sedimentation effect of the seasoning.

[0068] The transmission mechanism 182 includes at least one of belt drive, gear drive, and chain drive. Different forms of transmission mechanism 182 can meet the needs of different structures of drive assembly 180, thus expanding the application range of the product. Specifically, belt drive can be synchronous belt, flat belt, V-belt, such as pulley and belt fit, shaft and belt fit, etc.; gear drive can be gear meshing drive; chain drive can be gear and chain meshing drive, etc.

[0069] The transmission mechanism 182 is provided with at least one output end, and the number of material boxes 110 is equal to the number of output ends. The output ends are connected to the transmission members 170 connected to the first cover 120 on the corresponding material box 110. Thus, by using a drive unit 181 and different output ends on the transmission mechanism 182, the stirring parts 130 in the corresponding material boxes 110 can be driven to work. When the transmission mechanism 182 is provided with at least two output ends, the number of material boxes 110 is equal to the number of output ends, which is also at least two. One drive unit 181, in conjunction with the transmission mechanism 182, can drive the stirring parts 130 in at least two material boxes 110 to work simultaneously. This simplifies the number of drive members, helps to save on operating costs, and saves space. This meets the design requirements of the stirring device 100 to be compact in structure and small in size, and expands the application range of the product.

[0070] Specifically, the transmission mechanism 182 can be configured with a reasonable number of output ends according to the needs of the stirring device 100. For example, the transmission mechanism 182 can be configured with one, two, three or other numbers of output ends.

[0071] In some possible implementations provided in this application, such as Figure 5 As shown, there are two material boxes 110. The transmission mechanism 182 includes a drive wheel 183, two driven wheels 184, and a transmission belt 185. The drive wheel 183 is connected to the drive unit 181. The transmission belt 185 is wound around the drive wheel 183 and the two driven wheels 184. The driven wheels 184 are provided with an output end.

[0072] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 182 is a belt drive, specifically a synchronous belt pulley mechanism. The driving pulley 183 is connected to the drive unit 181, and the two driven pulleys 184 are driven to move synchronously through the transmission belt 185. The output ends of the two driven pulleys 184 are respectively connected to the transmission components 170 on the first cover 120 of the two material boxes 110, which can drive the stirring unit 130 in the various material boxes 110 to work. Therefore, one drive unit 181 can drive the stirring unit 130 in two material boxes 110 to work, reducing the number of drive units 181, thereby saving costs and structural space, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0073] Specifically, the drive unit 181 is a motor. It is understood that the drive unit 181 can also be other structures that meet the requirements. The drive assembly 180 also includes a fixed plate 186. The motor, the drive wheel 183, and the driven wheels 184 are all mounted on the fixed plate 186. The output shaft of the motor passes through the fixed plate 186 and is connected to the drive wheel 183. The transmission belt 185 is wound around the drive wheel 183 and the two driven wheels 184.

[0074] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a batching device 200 is provided, including: a base 210, and a stirring device 100 according to any of the first aspects, wherein the stirring device 100 is disposed on the base 210. Since the batching device 200 includes the stirring device 100 of any of the embodiments of the first aspect, it has the aforementioned beneficial technical effects of the stirring device 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Furthermore, the stirring device 100 is detachably connected to the base 210, and the various components of the stirring device 100 can be installed in suitable positions on the base 210 as needed to save space and achieve the design requirements of small size and compact structure of the equipment.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the material box 110 is detachably connected to the base 210. The base 210 is provided with a relief groove 211. The first cover 120 and / or the second cover 140 of the stirring device 100 protrude from the material box 110 and are located at the relief groove 211.

[0077] In other words, after the first cover 120 and / or the second cover 140 of the stirring device 100 are installed on the material box 110 and protrude from the material box 110, the protruding part has good guiding properties. By placing the first cover 120 and / or the second cover 140 protruding from the material box 110 at the relief groove 211 of the base 210, the pre-positioning of the material box 110 and the base 210 is achieved, which helps to improve the assembly efficiency and accuracy of the material box 110 and the base 210.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second cover 140 protrudes from the material box 110. This protrusion guides each material box 110, allowing for quick and easy vertical installation side-by-side on the base 210, facilitating removal and installation. It is understood that the material box 110 and the base 210 can be detachably connected via threaded structures, magnetic structures, snap-fit ​​structures, etc., and this application does not specifically limit this connection.

[0079] Furthermore, since the stirring part 130 is mounted on the material box 110 via the first cover 120, and the second cover 140 provides good support for the stirring part 130, setting the first cover 120 and / or the second cover 140 to protrude from the material box 110 to achieve the pre-positioning function between the material box 110 and the base 210 simplifies the setting of other pre-positioning structures on the material box 110 and helps to save costs.

[0080] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the number of stirring devices 100 is at least one. The number of stirring devices 100 can be reasonably set according to the needs of the batching equipment 200 to achieve different batching functions and expand the application range of the product. Specifically, the number of stirring devices 100 can be one, two, three, or other numbers.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, there are three stirring devices 100. Since one drive unit 181 can drive the stirring units 130 in two material boxes 110 through the transmission mechanism 182, by setting three drive units 181, the stirring units 130 in six material boxes 110 can be driven to work, which greatly reduces the number of drive units 181, thereby saving costs and structural space, and is suitable for widespread application.
