Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances and components thereof, and in particular to a material discharging component and an automatic material discharging food processing machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing food processing machines capable of pre-setting pulping are usually provided with an automatic material unloading structure, which is driven by liquid flow to automatically unload materials after the machine is turned on, so as to separate the materials from water and prevent the materials from being soaked for a long time.

[0003] For example, the patent application number 201610344153.7 discloses an automatic feeding food processing machine. The bottom of the feeding box is provided with an automatic unloading structure which can be opened by the impact of water flow. When the rotation speed of the processing tool increases to a certain level, the water flow drives the unloading plate to rotate, so that the unloading port is connected with the hole of the unloading plate and opened, thereby realizing automatic unloading.

[0004] However, since users generally rinse or soak the materials before putting them into the barrel of the feeding structure, the surface of the materials put into the barrel will be wetted, and the soybean materials may adhere to the inner wall of the barrel after being moistened, and the moist rice grains and sesame materials will not only adhere to the inner wall of the barrel but also agglomerate, causing the materials to block the feeding port and cause problems in feeding. The adhered and agglomerated materials cannot be discharged from the feeding port only by gravity, causing a large amount of materials to accumulate in the barrel, resulting in incomplete feeding.

[0005] Patent application number 201020110877.3 discloses a soymilk machine, including a storage chamber, a discharge port and a discharge plate buckled with the discharge port, and an actuator follows the movement of the liquid flow and drives the discharge plate to open relative to the chamber on a horizontal or vertical plane. Although this solution reduces the obstruction of the bottom wall of the storage chamber and the discharge plate to the food, the material falls only by its own gravity, and there are still problems such as slow falling speed and material adhesion to the wall of the storage chamber, especially for the food at the bottom of the storage chamber, which may be wetted by contact with the liquid flow in the processing cup during the discharge process, further increasing the adhesion of the material, resulting in incomplete discharge, and the residual food in the storage chamber cannot fall into the cup body. Summary of the invention

[0006] The invention provides a feeding component and an automatic feeding food processing machine, so as to solve the problems in the prior art that the feeding component has a slow feeding speed and wet materials adhere to the inner wall of the feeding component, resulting in incomplete feeding and inability to effectively process the materials.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides a material discharge assembly, including a barrel with a material discharge port at the bottom and a switch component movably mounted at the bottom of the barrel to open and close the material discharge port, the barrel is provided with a mounting portion located at the material discharge port, the mounting portion is provided with a rotating shaft that can rotate relative to the mounting portion, a material discharge piece is provided inside the barrel, the material discharge piece is fixed at the upper end of the rotating shaft, a paddle driven by a rotating liquid flow is provided below the mounting portion, the paddle is fixed at the lower end of the rotating shaft, when the switch component opens the material discharge port to discharge material, the paddle drives the material discharge piece to rotate horizontally around the rotating shaft to discharge material from the barrel.

[0008] The material unloading component provided by the present invention realizes material storage and unloading by setting a barrel and a switch. By setting a material unloading member, when the switch opens the unloading port, the paddle drives the rotating shaft to rotate and then drives the material unloading member to rotate in the horizontal direction around the rotating shaft to unload the material on the inner wall of the barrel. Therefore, the material unloading member achieves the effect of stirring the material during the unloading process, thereby preventing the material from statically adhering to the inner wall of the barrel, making the unloading more thorough. The material is stirred by the material unloading member, and collision force occurs between the materials. Compared with the method of falling only by gravity, the material unloading can be discharged from the unloading port more quickly into the processed cup body, thereby realizing rapid unloading. In addition, for agglomerated materials, the agglomerated materials can be broken up by the material unloading member, so that even if the size of the unloading port is small, rapid unloading can still be realized, and the material is prevented from blocking the unloading port, and the material is prevented from accumulating in the barrel, so that the unloading is more complete. By providing a paddle driven by a rotating liquid flow on the outside of the barrel and utilizing the liquid flow to drive the rotation of the material discharge rod, compared with the method of setting a driving mechanism, the overall structure of the material discharge assembly can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, the circuit layout and the situation where the material discharge failure is caused by water intrusion into the circuit can be reduced, and the reliability can be improved.

[0009] Preferably, the material-moving member comprises a radial material-moving portion extending along the radial direction of the barrel, one end of the radial material-moving portion is fixed to the rotating shaft, and the other end extends toward the peripheral wall of the barrel.

[0010] By providing a radial material-stripping portion extending radially along the barrel, the material can be stirred laterally, the agglomerated material can be separated and broken up, and the accumulation of upper and lower materials causing poor falling can be prevented, which is conducive to rapid and thorough material discharge. Moreover, one end of the radial material-stripping portion extends toward the peripheral wall of the barrel, and the outer end of the radial material-stripping portion can scrape the material adhering to the peripheral wall of the barrel, thereby reducing the probability of the material adhering to the peripheral wall of the barrel and ensuring thorough material discharge.

[0011] Preferably, the barrel has a bottom wall for supporting the material, the material discharge port and the mounting portion are both arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel, and the radial material-moving portion rotates horizontally on the inner surface of the bottom wall of the barrel.

[0012] The radial material-discharging part is provided to break up the agglomerated materials and improve the material discharging speed. The radial material-discharging part rotates horizontally on the inner surface of the bottom wall of the barrel to get close to the inner bottom wall of the barrel, thereby scraping the materials adhering to the bottom wall of the barrel, reducing the probability of material adhesion and making the material discharging more complete. The barrel has a bottom wall for supporting the materials, and the bottom wall is used to support the materials and share the load of the switch parts, avoiding the situation of the switch parts being stuck, so that the opening and closing of the material discharging port is smooth and labor-saving.

[0013] Preferably, the material discharging member includes an axial material discharging portion extending upward along the circumferential wall of the barrel, the bottom end of the axial material discharging portion is provided with a connecting portion extending toward the rotating shaft, the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the axial material discharging portion rotates along the inner circumferential wall of the barrel.

[0014] By setting an axial material-prying part, the axial material-prying part rotates along the inner circumferential wall of the barrel. On the one hand, the radial outer end of the axial material-prying part is close to the inner circumferential wall of the barrel to scrape the material adhering to the inner circumferential wall of the barrel, further reducing the probability of the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel, and the material is discharged more thoroughly. On the other hand, the axial material-prying part vertically stirs the material. When the upper material is stirred and falls, it can have a pushing effect on the lower material, thereby accelerating the falling speed of the material.

[0015] Preferably, the switch member is a baffle for shielding the material discharge port, the baffle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft, the paddle is fixed to the bottom of the baffle, and the paddle drives the baffle and the material removing member to rotate together.

[0016] By fixing the paddle at the bottom of the baffle, the rotation of the baffle and the material-diverting member is achieved through the paddle, thereby reducing the arrangement of driving parts and simplifying the overall structure.

[0017] A support plate is arranged at the bottom end of the barrel, and a notch is arranged on the support plate to form a material discharge port. The baffle plate corresponds to the notch, and the support plate and the baffle plate jointly form the bottom wall of the barrel to jointly support the material.

[0018] The barrel is provided with a bottom wall for supporting the material, the discharge port and the mounting portion are both arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel, the bottom wall is inclined toward one side of the discharge port to form an inclined surface, the material shifting member is inclined along the inclined surface, and the material shifting member rotates on the inclined surface.

[0022] Preferably, the material-dispensing member and the inner wall of the barrel have a clearance fit, and the clearance S between the material-dispensing member and the inner wall of the barrel satisfies: 0<S≤2mm;

[0023] By matching the clearance between the material dispensing piece and the inner wall of the barrel, the rotational friction of the material dispensing piece is reduced, so that the rotation of the material dispensing piece is smooth. If the clearance is greater than 2mm, it is difficult to completely peel off the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel. Therefore, 0<S≤2mm, the material dispensing piece can rotate smoothly while scraping the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel to achieve complete material discharge.

[0024] Preferably, the material removing member is provided with a flexible material scraping portion which abuts against the inner peripheral wall of the barrel.

[0025] By providing the scraping part, the material shifting member can be flexibly deformed during the rotation process, so that while the material shifting member can rotate smoothly, the material shifting member can scrape the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel to achieve complete material discharge.

[0026] Preferably, the material-diverting member rotates 360° around the rotating shaft;

[0027] The material discharging member rotates 360° around the rotating shaft, which can realize periodic material discharging, accelerate the falling of materials and realize complete material discharging. Moreover, the paddle can drive the material discharging member to rotate when the liquid flow rotates clockwise, and can also drive the material discharging member to rotate when the liquid flow rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, the material discharging component has good versatility and can be applied to food processing machines with different steering motors.

[0030] Preferably, the barrel includes a blanking section near the blanking port, and the inner diameter of the blanking section gradually decreases from bottom to top;

[0031] By setting up the blanking section, the inner wall of the blanking section decreases in inclination from bottom to top toward the middle, that is, gradually opens from top to bottom, which can reduce the probability of material contact with the inner wall of the barrel during the falling process, thereby reducing the probability of material adhesion. At the same time, the blanking section does not have an upward holding force on the material. Even if the material adheres, the material will gradually fall off from the inner wall of the blanking section under the action of gravity and the material shifting piece, so that the material is discharged cleanly and thoroughly, and at the same time the efficiency of automatic discharge is improved, preventing material from accumulating in the barrel and preventing the movement of the tray from being blocked and causing the tray to be stuck.

[0032] Preferably, the barrel comprises a feeding section, the inner diameter of which gradually decreases from top to bottom;

[0033] The feeding section is set to guide the material during the feeding process, which is convenient for feeding and has high feeding efficiency.

[0050] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present invention, a detailed description is given below in an exemplary manner in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0052] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a material discharge assembly in one embodiment, including a barrel 10 with a material discharge port 11 at the bottom and a switch member 20 movably mounted at the bottom of the barrel 10 to open and close the material discharge port, the barrel is provided with a mounting portion 12 located at the material discharge port, a material discharging member 30 is arranged inside the barrel 10, a rotating shaft 40 is connected between the material discharging member 30 and the mounting portion 12, the rotating shaft 40 is arranged along the axial direction of the barrel 10, a paddle 50 driven by a rotating liquid flow is provided on the outer side of the barrel 10, the bottom of the material discharging member 30 is connected to the paddle 50, when the switch member 20 opens the material discharge port 11, the paddle 50 drives the material discharging member 30 to rotate around the rotating shaft to remove the material on the inner wall of the barrel 10.

[0053] The material unloading assembly provided by the present invention realizes material storage and unloading by setting a barrel 10 and a switch 20. By setting a material unloading member 30, when the switch 20 opens the unloading port 11, the paddle 50 drives the material unloading member 30 to rotate around the rotating shaft 40 to unload the material on the inner wall of the barrel 10. Therefore, the material unloading member 30 achieves the effect of stirring the material during the unloading process, thereby preventing the material from statically adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10, making the unloading more thorough. The material is stirred by the material unloading member 30, and collision force occurs between the materials. Compared with the method of falling only by gravity, the material unloading can be discharged from the unloading port 11 into the processed cup body more quickly, thereby realizing rapid unloading. In addition, for agglomerated materials, the agglomerated materials can be broken up by the material unloading member 30, so that even if the size of the unloading port 11 is small, rapid unloading can still be realized, and the material is prevented from blocking the unloading port 11, and the material is prevented from accumulating in the barrel 10, so that the unloading is more complete. By providing a paddle 50 driven by a rotating liquid flow on the outside of the barrel 10 and utilizing the liquid flow to drive the rotation of the material discharge rod, compared with the method of setting a driving mechanism, the overall structure of the material discharge assembly can be simplified, the cost can be reduced, the circuit layout and the situation where the material discharge failure is caused by water intrusion into the circuit can be reduced, and the reliability can be improved.

[0054] The present invention does not limit the structure of the material-moving member 30. For example:

[0055] In implementation example 1, the material-moving member 30 includes a radial material-moving portion 31 extending radially along the barrel 10 , one end of the radial material-moving portion is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 40 , and the other end extends toward the peripheral wall of the barrel 10 .

[0056] It can be understood that the radial material-digging portion can be one or more, and two of the multiple radial material-digging portions are located on the same straight line and connected to form a straight rod with more comprehensive material-digging, referring to Figure 7 shown.

[0057] In this embodiment, the barrel 10 has a bottom wall for supporting the material, the discharge port 11 and the mounting portion 12 are both arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel 10, the radial material stripping portion has a certain height, and the radial material stripping portion rotates horizontally on the inner bottom wall of the barrel so that the bottom end of the solid radial material stripping portion is close to the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10 to scrape the material adhering to the bottom wall of the barrel 10.

[0058] It should be noted that the bottom end of the radial material-discharging portion is close to the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10, that is, it is fitted with or in contact with the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10 with a small gap, so as to scrape off the material adhering to the bottom wall of the barrel 10. The radial material-discharging portion does not need to abut against the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10 with a large force, which affects the rotation smoothness of the material-discharging member 30. The selection is made according to the actual product application.

[0059] In this embodiment, by setting a radial material-dispensing part extending along the radial direction of the barrel 10, the material can be stirred horizontally, the agglomerated material can be separated and broken up, and the upper and lower materials can be prevented from piling up and causing poor falling, which is conducive to rapid and thorough material discharging. Moreover, one end of the radial material-dispensing part extends toward the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, and the outer end of the radial material-dispensing part can scrape the material adhering to the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, thereby reducing the probability of material adhering to the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, so that the material discharging is thorough. By protruding the radial material-dispensing part upward to have a certain height, the agglomerated material can be broken up, and the material discharging speed can be increased. The bottom end of the radial material-dispensing part is close to the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10, so as to scrape the material adhering to the bottom wall of the barrel 10, reduce the probability of material adhesion, and make the material discharging more complete. The barrel 10 has a bottom wall for supporting the material, and the bottom wall is used to support the material to share the load of the switch 20, so as to avoid the situation of the switch 20 moving stuck, so that the opening and closing of the discharging port 11 is smooth and labor-saving.

[0060] Implementation Example 2, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the material stripping member 30 includes an axial material stripping portion 32 extending downward along the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10, and a connecting portion extending toward the rotating shaft 40 is provided at the bottom end of the axial material stripping portion 32, and the connecting portion is connected to the rotating shaft 40, and the radial outer end of the axial material stripping portion is close to the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10 to scrape the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10. In this embodiment, combined with the solution in the above-mentioned embodiment 1, the material stripping member 30 is provided with a radial material stripping portion 31 to form a connecting portion, and the radial material stripping portion 31 rotates along the inner bottom wall of the barrel 10.

[0061] Of course, in fact, the shape of the connection part is not limited to this one. In fact, the connection part can be in other shapes and can only play a connecting role, connecting the rotating shaft 40 with the axial material-moving part 32. Figure 8 shown.

[0062] By setting the axial material-prying portion 32, on the one hand, the radial outer end of the axial material-prying portion 32 is close to the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10 to scrape the material adhering to the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10, further reducing the probability of the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10, and the material is discharged more thoroughly. On the other hand, the axial material-prying portion 32 vertically stirs the material. When the upper material is stirred and falls, it can have a pushing effect on the lower material, thereby accelerating the falling speed of the material.

[0063] It can be understood that, in order to ensure comprehensive material selection and balanced rotation of the material selection member 30, in a preferred embodiment, the material selection member 30 includes a plurality of material selection parts arranged at intervals around the rotating shaft 40, and the plurality of material selection parts are the aforementioned radial material selection parts 31 or axial material selection parts 32. By providing a plurality of material selection parts, it is possible to achieve comprehensive material selection and complete material feeding in the barrel 10 even when the rotation angle of the material selection member 30 is limited.

[0064] In addition, the present invention does not limit the shape of the barrel 10 and the opening method of the switch 20, for example:

[0065] In implementation example 3, the switch member 20 is a baffle 21 for shielding the material discharge port, the baffle 21 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 40, and the paddle 50 is fixed to the bottom of the baffle 40, and the paddle 50 drives the baffle 21 and the material removing member 30 to rotate together.

[0066] It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the paddle 50 and the lower end of the rotating shaft 40 are indirectly fixedly connected via the baffle 40 . In fact, the paddle 50 can also be directly fixed to the lower end of the rotating shaft 40 .

[0067] Preferably, a support plate is arranged at the bottom end of the barrel, the support plate is provided with a notch to form a material discharge port, the baffle corresponds to the notch, and the support plate and the baffle together form the bottom wall of the barrel to jointly support the material.

[0068] The barrel 10 is a cylindrical barrel 10 with a bottom wall, the mounting portion 12 is arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel 10, the support plate includes a plurality of fan-shaped support plates 13, the plurality of fan-shaped support plates 13 are arranged at intervals around the axis of the barrel 10 and connected at the axis, the discharge port 11 is a fan-shaped discharge port formed between two adjacent fan-shaped support plates, and the baffle 21 includes a fan-shaped plate corresponding to each fan-shaped discharge port.

[0069] By fixing the paddle 50 at the bottom of the baffle, the rotation of the baffle and the material-diverting member 30 is achieved through the paddle 50, thereby reducing the arrangement of driving parts and simplifying the overall structure.

[0070] More preferably, the rotating shaft 40 is fixedly arranged on the upper surface of the baffle 21, the mounting portion 12 is located above the baffle 21 and is provided with an axial hole for the rotating shaft 40 to pass through, the material-digging member 30 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 40 by a fastener, the fastener is a screw 14, and the material-digging member 30 is provided with a plug-in portion, in this embodiment, the plug-in portion adopts a through hole 33, the rotating shaft 40 passes through the axial hole and is plugged and matched with the plug-in portion, that is, the rotating shaft 40 is inserted into the through hole, and a rotation-stopping structure is provided between the plug-in portion and the rotating shaft 40. The rotation-stopping structure can be selected as a flat position 41 designed on the outer side of the rotating shaft 40, or the rotation-stopping structure includes a convex rib provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 40 and a limit groove provided on the plug-in portion and engaged with the convex rib.

[0071] The above fixing method not only realizes radial limitation and rotation limitation of the rotating shaft 40 and the material-moving member 30 by plugging, but also realizes axial limitation of both by fasteners. In fact, the fasteners can be omitted, and the rotating shaft 40 and the plug-in part can be fixed by interference-fitting, or connected by a snap-fit ​​assembly.

[0072] By providing a plurality of fan-shaped support plates 13, and arranging the plurality of fan-shaped support plates 13 at intervals around the axis of the barrel 10, the probability of the material adhering to the bottom wall of the barrel 10 can be reduced while supporting the material to reduce the load on the switch member 20. Since the discharge port 11 is a fan-shaped discharge port formed between two adjacent fan-shaped support plates 13, when the material dispensing member 30 rotates, the material attached to the fan-shaped support plate 13 will be moved to the adjacent discharge port 11 to achieve discharge, thereby effectively reducing the probability of material accumulation and achieving thorough discharge. Moreover, the arrangement of the plurality of fan-shaped discharge ports provides a plurality of falling spaces for the material to fall, thereby achieving rapid discharge.

[0073] By arranging the rotating shaft 40 on the upper surface of the baffle plate and passing through the shaft hole of the mounting portion 12, the rotating shaft 40 is further fixed to the material-discharging member 30, so that the assembly is simple, and the fastener is adopted, so that the material-discharging member 30 can be flexibly disassembled for maintenance or replacement, and the use is convenient. By plugging and matching the plug-in portion of the material-discharging member 30 with the rotating shaft 40, the assembly method is further simplified, the connecting parts are simplified, and the overall structure of the material-discharging assembly is simplified while achieving reliable rotation.

[0074] It should be noted that, in this implementation example, the fan-shaped support plate can be arranged to extend horizontally, or can be arranged to extend obliquely toward the lower material port 11 .

[0075] In implementation example 4, the barrel 10 is a cylindrical barrel 10 with a bottom wall, the mounting portion 12 is arranged on the bottom wall of the barrel 10, the bottom wall of the barrel 10 is a semicircular support plate, the discharge port 11 is a semicircular discharge port 11, and the baffle is a semicircular plate corresponding to the semicircular discharge port 11. By providing the semicircular discharge port 11, the bottom wall structure of the barrel 10 can be simplified, and the production process can be simplified. Preferably, the semicircular support plate can be tilted toward the semicircular discharge port 11 to accelerate the falling of the material.

[0076] Correspondingly, the inner surface of the semicircular support plate forms an inclined surface, and the radial material-moving portion of the material-moving member is arranged obliquely along the inclined surface and rotates on the inclined surface.

[0077] In implementation example 5, the barrel 10 is a cylindrical barrel 10 with a bottom wall, and the bottom wall of the barrel 10 is a bottom wall of the bottom end of a circular packaging barrel. The discharge port is one or more openings arranged on the bottom wall at a position deviated from the center of the bottom wall. The openings can optionally be round holes, bar holes, special-shaped holes, etc.

[0078] In implementation example 6, the bottom end of the barrel 10 is open to form a discharge port 11, the mounting portion 12 includes a connecting rib extending toward the peripheral wall of the barrel and connected to the peripheral wall of the barrel, and the connecting rib may be one or more, the switch member 20 includes a baffle that blocks the discharge port 11, and the discharge assembly further includes a driving mechanism that drives the baffle to move. More preferably, the driving mechanism may be a driving motor or a driving plate driven by a rotating liquid flow.

[0079] In this embodiment, the switch member 20 further includes a baffle, an edge of which is provided with a positioning portion connected to the peripheral wall of the barrel. For example, the positioning portion is a connecting shaft connected to the barrel 10 , and the connecting shaft is installed on the peripheral wall of the barrel 10 .

[0080] Since in this embodiment, the switch element is not installed on the mounting portion but on the peripheral wall of the barrel, the switch element and the material shifting element are driven separately, and it is necessary to prevent the movement interference of the switch element and the material shifting element. Therefore, more specifically, the opening and closing method of the switch element can be optionally as follows: the connecting shaft is vertically arranged on the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, the barrel has a bottom wall, the discharge port is opened on the bottom wall deviating from the center of the bottom wall, and the baffle rotates in the horizontal plane to open and close the discharge port 11; or, the connecting shaft is horizontally arranged at the bottom of the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, so that the baffle is flipped in the vertical plane to open and close the discharge port 11; and the baffle includes two cross-connected scissor plates, the two scissor plates are spliced ​​to cover the discharge port, and the two scissor plates are separated by increasing the crossing angle of the two scissor plates to realize the opening of the discharge port.

[0081] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, the barrel 10 is not limited to a cylindrical barrel, and may also have a semicircular cross-section or other shapes.

[0082] By setting a connecting shaft, which is installed on the peripheral wall of the barrel 10, the baffle can be rotated or flipped open relative to the discharge port 11 of the barrel 10, and in the open state, the baffle is prevented from hindering the falling of the material, thereby achieving the effect of fast and thorough discharge.

[0083] By setting a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism drives the baffle to open and close the material discharge port 11, which is independent of the rotation control of the material diverter 30 and is flexible to use. The driving mechanism is a driving motor or a driving plate that can realize reliable rotation drive, so that the opening and closing control of the material discharge port 11 is flexible to realize material discharge.

[0084] In a preferred embodiment, the material-push member 30 is clearance-matched with the inner wall of the barrel 10 , and the clearance S between the material-push member 30 and the inner wall of the barrel 10 satisfies: 0<S≤2mm; more preferably, 0.5mm<S≤2mm.

[0085] By matching the clearance between the material stripper 30 and the inner wall of the barrel 10, the rotational friction of the material stripper 30 is reduced, so that the rotation of the material stripper 30 is smooth. If the clearance is greater than 2 mm, it is difficult to completely peel off the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10. Therefore, 0<S≤2mm, while achieving smooth rotation of the material stripper 30, the material stripper 30 can scrape the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10 to achieve complete material discharge.

[0086] In a preferred embodiment, the material removing member 30 is provided with a scraper portion abutting against the inner circumferential wall of the barrel 10; the scraper portion can be a silicone sheet.

[0087] By providing the scraping portion, the material shifting member 30 can be flexibly deformed during the rotation process, so that while the material shifting member 30 can rotate smoothly, the material shifting member 30 can scrape the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel 10 to achieve complete material discharge.

[0088] In a preferred embodiment, the material-digging member 30 may be provided with a material-digging tooth structure or a brush structure on one side of the inner wall of the barrel 10, so that the material-digging member can rotate smoothly and the material can be diverted thoroughly and cleanly. In a preferred embodiment, the material-digging member 30 rotates 360° around the rotating shaft.

[0089] The material discharging member 30 rotates 360° around the rotating axis, which can realize periodic material discharging, accelerate the falling of materials and realize complete material discharge. Moreover, the paddle 50 can drive the material discharging member 30 to rotate when the liquid flow rotates clockwise, and can also drive the material discharging member 30 to rotate when the liquid flow rotates counterclockwise. Therefore, the material discharge component has good versatility and can be applied to food processing machines with different steering motors.

[0090] The present invention does not limit the shape of the peripheral wall of the barrel 10. For example, the barrel 10 is a one-stage type: the barrel 10 is a straight cylinder extending vertically, referring to Figure 1 As shown; the barrel 10 is a cone with a gradually decreasing inner diameter from bottom to top; the barrel 10 is an inverted cone with a gradually decreasing inner diameter from top to bottom. Alternatively, the barrel 10 is a segmented structure: the barrel 10 includes a blanking section, a storage section and a feeding section. The blanking section is close to the discharge port 11, and the inner diameter of the blanking section gradually decreases from bottom to top. The storage section is connected above the blanking section. The storage section is a vertically extending straight cylinder. The feeding section is connected above the storage section, and the inner diameter of the feeding section gradually decreases from top to bottom. Alternatively, the barrel 10 includes two of the blanking section, the storage section and the feeding section.

[0091] By setting a blanking section, the inner wall of the blanking section decreases from bottom to top and tilts toward the middle, that is, gradually opens from top to bottom, which can reduce the probability of the material contacting the inner wall of the barrel 10 during the falling process, thereby reducing the probability of the material adhering. At the same time, the blanking section does not have an upward holding force on the material. Even if the material adheres, the material will gradually fall off from the inner wall of the blanking section under the action of gravity and the action of the material-dispensing member 30, so that the material is discharged cleanly and thoroughly, and at the same time, the efficiency of automatic discharge is improved, and the material is prevented from accumulating in the barrel 10, and the phenomenon of hindering the movement of the tray causing the tray to be stuck is prevented. By setting a feeding section, the material can be drained during the feeding process, which is convenient for feeding and has high feeding efficiency. By setting a storage section, the volume of the barrel 10 is increased, the practicality of the blanking component is improved, and the mold-out manufacturing is convenient.

[0092] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 6As shown, in one embodiment, the present invention also provides an automatic unloading food processor, including a cup body 70 and a stirring device 71 arranged in the cup body, the stirring device 71 can be optionally a stirring knife, the food processor also includes a motor 72 for driving the stirring device 71 to rotate, and the food processor also includes the above-mentioned unloading component.

[0093] Preferably, the material discharge assembly is fixed integrally with the cup cover 60, and the user can clean the material discharge assembly together with the cup cover during the cleaning process. Of course, the material discharge assembly can also be detachable relative to the cup cover, and the consumer can thoroughly clean the dead corners.

[0094] The automatic feeding food processing machine provided by the present invention realizes the reservation function and realizes material-water separation during the reservation process by setting the above-mentioned feeding component, thereby preventing the material from being soaked for a long time and deteriorating. It is clean and safe to use, and realizes the effect of fast feeding and more complete feeding, avoiding food waste and the phenomenon of biological material being entrained in the prepared slurry, and is more reliable to use.

[0095] The food processor of the present invention is not limited to the structure disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment. The food processor of the present invention can be a traditional soymilk machine with an upper motor, a soymilk machine with a lower motor in which the motor and the cup body are installed as one, a wall breaking machine, or a food processor that does not need to be washed by hands. The material discharge component of the present invention is not limited to being installed on the cup cover. The material discharge component can also be directly and detachably installed on the cup body. If the food processor has a machine head, the material discharge component can also be installed on the machine head.
