The material storage device involved in the present application is described in detail below.

[0055] With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of people's pace of life, smart cooking equipment is increasingly used by people. Smart cooking equipment is equipped with a storage device for placing seasonings and a cooking device for cooking dishes. The storage device is generally arranged on the top of the cooking device, so that the seasonings can fall directly into the cooking device under the action of gravity to realize the supply of seasonings during the automatic cooking process.

[0056] The existing material storage device mainly includes a material storage box and a mounting base, the material storage box is mounted on the mounting base, and the material discharge device in the material storage box is connected to the power device through a transmission member, so that the power device provides the material discharge device with power for discharging the material.

[0057] However, in the existing material storage device, when the user installs the material storage box on the mounting base, the user needs to manually adjust the position of the material storage box and manually establish the transmission connection between the material discharging device and the power device. This process is time-consuming and labor-intensive and not user-friendly. Therefore, how to make the installation method of the material storage box more user-friendly has become a technical problem to be solved.

[0058] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a material storage device, in which the motor is arranged in the material storage box storage slot of the mounting base and the output shaft is directed toward the opening of the material storage box storage slot, and the material storage box is provided with a plug hole leading to the material tapper, and the position of the plug hole corresponds to the position of the output shaft of the motor. When installing the material storage box, the user only needs to align the side of the material storage box provided with the plug hole with the opening of the material storage box storage slot and insert it, and the output shaft of the motor will automatically insert the plug hole to complete the transmission connection with the material tapper, thereby realizing the automatic alignment installation of the material storage box, and there is no need to manually establish the transmission connection between the material discharge device and the power device, making the disassembly and assembly of the material storage box more convenient, and making the installation method of the material storage box more humane.

[0059] The material storage device provided in the present application can be a seasoning holding device, a food holding device, or a device for holding other materials. In a specific usage scenario, the material storage device is installed on a material storage and discharging device for use. The material storage and discharging device is a general term for devices with material storage and discharging functions, and can specifically be automatic cooking equipment or other equipment that requires material storage and discharging.

[0060] The material storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically as follows Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is an overall schematic diagram of the storage device provided in this embodiment, Figure 2 For the corresponding Figure 1 A first cross-sectional view of a storage device, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of the location of the plug-in hole of the storage device.

[0061] The material storage device includes: a mounting base 20 and a material storage box 10. The mounting base 20 is provided with a material storage box receiving slot 21; a motor 23 is provided in the material storage box receiving slot 21, and the output shaft of the motor 23 faces the opening of the material storage box receiving slot 21. A material tapper 12 is provided in the material storage box 10, and the material tapper 12 is used to tap out the material in the material storage box 10; the material storage box 10 is provided with a plug hole 15 leading to the material tapper 12. The plug hole 15 is used to make the output shaft of the motor 23 inserted into the plug hole 15 and then connected to the material tapper 12 in a transmission manner during the process of inserting the material storage box 10 from the opening of the material storage box receiving slot 21 into the material storage box receiving slot 21.

[0062] The material storage box 10 is detachably installed in the material storage box receiving slot 21 . Specifically, the material storage box 10 can be inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21 from the opening of the material storage box receiving slot 21 of the mounting base 20 , and can be pulled out from the opening of the material storage box receiving slot 21 .

[0063] In the material storage device, the material storage box 10 is a structure for storing materials, and a material storage cavity 16 for holding materials is provided in the material storage box 10. A material discharge port 17 is provided at the bottom of the material storage cavity 16 for discharging materials from the material storage box 10. In addition, a material discharge device 12 for controlling the discharge of materials is also provided correspondingly to control the amount of materials discharged.

[0064] The outer shape of the material storage box 10 can be set to different structural shapes, for example, it can be set to a cylinder, a cube, etc., which can be set according to different needs, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions. The storage cavity 16 in the material storage box 10 can be set to different structural shapes corresponding to specific needs, for example, it can be set to a cylinder, a trough, etc., which can also be set according to different needs, and this embodiment does not make specific restrictions.

[0065] The discharge port 17 is generally arranged at the bottom of the storage box 10, and is also located at the bottom of the storage cavity 16. Among them, the discharge port 17 can be arranged directly below the storage cavity 16, and can also be arranged offset directly below the storage cavity 16, which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0066] The mounting base 20 is a structure for mounting the material storage box 10, and the material storage box receiving slot 21 is a space with an opening provided on the mounting base 20 for accommodating the material storage box 10. The shape of the material storage box receiving slot 21 is provided corresponding to the structural shape of the material storage box 10, and the opening can be specifically provided as a horizontal opening, an oblique opening or a vertical opening.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, since the material in the storage box 10 falls out vertically, the opening direction of the storage box storage slot 21 can be set to a horizontal opening, that is, the installation direction of the storage box 10 is perpendicular to the material falling direction, so that the user can complete the disassembly and assembly process of the storage box 10 by pushing and pulling in the horizontal direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material discharging device in the material storage box 10 is a material tapper 12, and the material tapper 12 is set to be driven by a motor 23. Specifically, a plug hole 15 is set on the material storage box 10 corresponding to the material tapper 12, and the plug hole 15 leads to the material tapper 12, so that the motor 23 can be connected to the material tapper 12 after being inserted into the plug hole 15.

[0069] In addition, the motor 23 is arranged in the material storage box storage slot 21 and faces the opening of the material storage box storage slot 21, and the plug-in hole 15 is arranged on the outer wall of the material storage box 10. The position of the plug-in hole 15 on the outer wall of the material storage box 10 corresponds to the position of the output shaft of the motor 23 in the material storage box storage slot 21, so that when the material storage box 10 is inserted from the opening of the material storage box storage slot 21 into the material storage box storage slot 21, the plug-in hole 15 is just caught by the output shaft of the motor 23, so that the output shaft of the motor 23 can be connected with the material tapper 12 in the plug-in hole 15.

[0070] When the material storage box 10 needs to be loaded into the material storage box receiving slot 21, it is only necessary to align the side of the material storage box 10 with the plug hole 15 and insert it into the material storage box receiving slot 21. When the material storage box 10 is loaded into the material storage box receiving slot 21, the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the plug hole 15 to form a transmission connection with the material tapping device 12, thereby providing material discharge power for the material tapping device 12. When the material storage box 10 is taken out of the material storage box receiving slot 21, the output shaft of the motor 23 is separated from the material tapping device 12 as the material storage box 10 is taken out.

[0071] In this embodiment, the material dispenser 12 is used to dispense the material from the material storage box 10. The material dispenser 12 can have many different forms and structures. Figure 4 and Figure 5The arrangement shown is a rotary material tapper 12, specifically, the material tapper 12 is provided with a rotating shaft 121 and a blade 123. When the motor 23 is inserted into the plug hole 15 and forms a transmission connection with the material tapper 12, when the motor 23 is started, the rotating shaft 121 rotates with the output shaft of the motor 23, and drives the blade 123 to rotate, thereby tapping the material out of the storage box 10 through the blade 123.

[0072] In this embodiment, the material tapper 12 can be configured as a structure that taps materials through linear reciprocating motion. For example, the rotation of the output shaft of the motor 23 is converted into linear reciprocating motion through a crank connecting rod structure, so that the material is pushed out of the storage box 10 under the action of the linear reciprocating motion. Of course, the material tapper 12 can also be configured as other feasible structures according to specific needs, which are not limited here.

[0073] To facilitate the explanation of the principle of this embodiment, the material tapper 12 in the following embodiments is assumed to be a rotary material tapper, and the technical concept in each embodiment can also be extended to material tappers 12 of other forms and structures.

[0074] In the material storage device of this embodiment, the installation mode of the material storage box is set to be plug-in type, so that the installation process of the material storage box can be completed by simple plug-in. In addition, after the output shaft of the motor is inserted into the plug-in hole on the material storage box, the transmission connection between the output shaft and the material dispenser can be automatically completed.

[0075] There are many specific ways to set the plug hole. For example, the plug hole can directly lead to the plug hole set on the material tapper 12, so that after the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the plug hole, it is directly inserted into the plug hole set on the rotating shaft 121 of the material tapper 12 to form a coaxial connection. However, considering that dimensional deviation is easy to occur, in a preferred embodiment, a coupling or other structure can be used to achieve transmission connection between the output shaft of the motor 23 and the material tapper 12.

[0076] For a specific implementation method, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The plug hole 15 is provided with a coupling 18; the first end of the coupling 18 is connected to the material tapping device 12 in a transmission manner, and the second end is provided with an axial hole 181 which is in communication with the plug hole 15. The coupling 18 is used to clamp the output shaft of the motor 23 through the axial hole 181 when the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the plug hole 15, so as to realize the transmission connection between the output shaft and the material tapping device 12. Figure 6 In order to facilitate observation of the positional relationship between the motor 23 and the coupling 18 during installation, the material tapper 12 is not shown.

[0077] The first end of the coupling 18 can be spline-connected to the tapper 12, or other connection methods such as interference fit and snap-fit ​​can be used to achieve transmission connection between the first end of the coupling 18 and the tapper 12 in the rotation direction.

[0078] The shaft hole 181 is communicated with the plug hole 15, so that the output shaft of the motor 23 can be directly inserted into the shaft hole 181 after being inserted into the plug hole 15, and the output shaft of the motor 23 is clamped by the shaft hole 181, so that the coupling 18 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the output shaft, thereby driving the material feeder 12 to rotate and discharge the material.

[0079] There are many specific ways to connect the shaft hole 181 and the output shaft of the motor 23. For example, the connection is achieved through a clamping block, or through an interference fit.

[0080] This embodiment provides a preferred connection method between the shaft hole 181 and the output shaft of the motor 23. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a clamping portion 231 is provided at the end of the output shaft of the motor 23; a plurality of clamping members 1811 are circumferentially provided in the shaft hole 181, and the plurality of clamping members 1811 form a clamping space in the shaft hole 181, and clamp the clamping portion 231 in the circumferential direction after the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the clamping space.

[0081] In this clamping mode, the clamping portion 231 is configured to be a flat, cross-shaped structure that will be stuck when rotating. The locking piece 1811 in the shaft hole 181 is equivalent to a stopper that resists the rotation of the clamping portion 231. When the clamping portion 231 is inserted into the shaft hole 181 and rotates, the clamping portion 231 will be resisted by the locking block 182. When the clamping portion 231 rotates with the output shaft, it will push the locking piece 1811 to rotate and drive the coupling 18 to rotate. The coupling 18 then drives the material feeder 12 to rotate, thereby completing the entire motion transmission process.

[0082] With this structure, when the material storage box 10 is loaded into the material storage box receiving slot 21, the shaft hole 181 and the output shaft of the motor 23 are automatically engaged with each other, and the material tapper 12 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 23, so that the material tapper 12 automatically discharges the material under the control of the motor 23. When the user wants to take out the material storage box 10, it can be done by a simple extraction action, and in the process of extracting the material storage box 10, the output shaft of the motor 23 is also extracted from the shaft hole 181, so that the transmission connection between the material tapper 12 and the output shaft of the motor 23 is automatically released.

[0083] Moreover, since the coupling 18 is provided, even if the models of the plurality of material storage boxes 10 are different, it is only necessary to make the sizes of the shaft holes 181 of the couplings 18 in the different material storage boxes 10 consistent, so that these material storage boxes 10 can be adapted to the same model of motor 23, thereby corresponding to the same model of motor 23, a plurality of different material storage boxes 10 can be prepared, so as to improve the humanization of the material storage device. For example, the sizes of the shaft holes 181 of the couplings 18 in the plurality of material storage boxes can be made consistent, and any one or more parameters such as the shape of each material storage box, the storage amount, the number of blades 123 of the material picker 12, and the diameter of the rotating shaft 121 of the material picker 12 can be made different, so that the user can replace the prepared different material storage boxes 10 according to the needs.

[0084] When the material storage box 10 is inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21, the clamping portion 231 may be blocked by the clamping member 1811 or blocked by the clamping member 1811. When the clamping portion 231 is not blocked by the clamping member 1811, the material storage box 10 is subjected to the magnetic attraction of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11, and the clamping portion 231 is smoothly inserted into the clamping space under the action of the magnetic attraction.

[0085] When the engaging portion 231 is blocked by the locking member 1811 , although the storage box 10 is subjected to the magnetic attraction of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 , it cannot go deeper due to the resistance of the locking member 1811 , so that the storage box 10 cannot be installed in place.

[0086] For this purpose, the output shaft of the motor 23 or the rotating shaft of the coupling 18 can be rotated by a certain angle so that the clamping portion 231 is no longer blocked by the locking member 1811, thereby ensuring that the storage box 10 can be installed in place.

[0087] This embodiment provides an implementation method to automatically adjust the output shaft or coupling 18 when the clamping portion 231 is blocked by the locking member 1811 so that the clamping portion 231 can be smoothly inserted into the clamping space. Figure 8 As shown, the end of the locking member 1811 close to the second end is provided with a slope 1812, and the slope 1812 is used to abut the output shaft during the process of inserting the output shaft of the motor 23 into the plug hole 15 and guide the locking portion (231) to the insertion locking space as the output shaft is inserted.

[0088] That is to say, the position where the locking piece 1811 will abut against the locking portion 231 is set to the inclined surface 1812. During the process of inserting the storage box 10 into the storage box storage slot 21, even if the locking portion 231 is blocked by the locking piece 1811, the inclined surface 1812 on the locking piece 1811 will first abut against the locking piece 1811. Under the action of magnetic attraction or manpower, the locking portion 231 will continue to apply a force to the inclined surface 1812 to insert into the plug-in hole 15, and the inclined surface 1812 will decompose the force. Therefore, under the action of the decomposed force, the output shaft or the coupling 18 will automatically rotate a certain angle so that the locking portion 231 is just inserted into the locking space, thereby ensuring that the storage box 10 can be installed in place.

[0089] Similarly, there are many ways to transmission-connect the first end of the coupling 18 to the material tapper 12. In specific implementation, different connection methods can be used according to needs.

[0090] Taking the spline connection as an example, the specific implementation method can be: a spline 122 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 121 of the material tapper 12; a sleeve hole 182 is provided at the first end of the coupling 18, and a spline groove 1821 corresponding to the spline 122 is provided in the sleeve hole 182; the sleeve hole 182 is used to sleeve the spline 122 so that the coupling 18 and the material tapper 12 are clamped, so as to drive the material tapper 12 to rotate when the coupling 18 rotates.

[0091] The structures of the spline 122 and the spline groove 1821 match each other. When the sleeve hole 182 is sleeved with the spline 122, the spline groove 1821 in the sleeve hole 182 will exert a circumferential resistance on the spline 122, thereby driving the material picker 12 to rotate when the coupling 18 rotates, thereby realizing a transmission connection. The implementation method of the spline 122 connection can ensure the power transmission effect while the coupling 18 is also easy to disassemble and assemble, thereby providing convenience for maintenance and replacement.

[0092] When the material storage box 10 is inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21, when the clamping portion 231 is blocked by the locking member 1811 and cannot go deeper, the clamping portion 231 can be smoothly inserted into the clamping space by rotating the output shaft or the coupling 18 to a certain angle. However, in many application scenarios, the output shaft of the motor cannot rotate, so it is preferred to rotate the coupling 18. In order to prevent the material dispenser 12 from accidentally releasing the material when the coupling 18 rotates to adjust the relative position of the clamping portion 231 and the locking member 1811, the following method can be used: Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown in FIG. 1 , the size of the spline groove 1821 in the sleeve hole 182 is made larger than the size of the spline 122, so that there is a rotation margin between the sleeve hole 182 and the spline 122. The rotation margin is the angle value a (such as Fig.11 ), which is used to indicate that the coupling 18 rotates to drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate and the motor needs to idle.

[0093] In this embodiment, although the spline 122 is installed in the spline groove 1821 in the sleeve hole 182, there is still a certain amount of rotation margin. When the clamping portion 231 is blocked by the clamping member 1811 and cannot go deeper, only when the coupling 18 is rotated to eliminate the rotation margin, will the material tapper 12 be further driven to rotate. For example, when the clamping portion 231 is blocked by the clamping member 1811, the position of the spline 122 in the spline groove 1821 is located at Fig.11 The position shown in the figure, the coupling 18 can be rotated so that it Fig.11 Turn clockwise to the position shown Fig.12 The position shown in the figure eliminates the rotation margin, and the process will not drive the rotating shaft 121 to rotate. Therefore, by appropriately designing the size of the spline groove 1821 and the size of the spline 122, it can be ensured that when the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the clamping space, the rotation of the coupling 18 will not drive the material tapping device 12 to rotate and cause the material to be misplaced.

[0094] Of course, in other embodiments, the coupling 18 can also be Fig.12 Turn counterclockwise to the position shown Fig.11 Alternatively, in some embodiments, there is a dead angle in the spline groove 1821, that is, when the spline 122 is located at the dead angle, the relative position of the clamping portion 231 and the stopper 1811 cannot be adjusted by rotating the coupling 18. At this time, the relative position of the clamping portion 231 and the stopper 1811 can still be adjusted by rotating the output shaft of the motor 23, so that the output shaft of the motor 23 is inserted into the clamping space to achieve the transmission connection between the motor 23 and the material tapper 12.

[0095] When the output shaft diameter of the motor is constant, if the key width m of the spline 122 (such as Fig.11 ) and the width n of the rib in the spline groove 1821 for resisting the spline 122 (as shown Fig.11 The larger the ratio of m / n is, the larger the value of m / n is, the smaller the strength of the coupling 18 is and the shorter its service life is. If the value of m / n is smaller, the strength of the shaft 121 is lower. In this regard, a suitable value of m / n can be selected according to the use requirements of the coupling 18 and the shaft 121.

[0096] In addition, the strength and life of the coupling 18 and the rotating shaft 121 are also related to the rotation margin between the sleeve hole 182 and the spline 122. Specifically, the rotation margin is the angle at which the spline 122 can rotate in the spline groove 1821. When the value a of the angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, that is, the rotation margin between the sleeve hole 182 and the spline 122 is set to: the angle value required for the spline 122 to eliminate the rotation margin is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. At this time, the number of idle turns of the output shaft of the motor 23 is small, and the rotation margin of the coupling 18 and the rotating shaft 121 is small, but the strength and life are high.

[0097] When the angle a of the spline 122 that can rotate in the spline groove 1821 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, that is, the rotation margin between the sleeve hole 182 and the spline 122 is set to: the angle value required for the spline 122 to eliminate the rotation margin is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. At this time, the rotation margin of the coupling 18 and the rotating shaft 121 is large, but the strength and life are relatively small.

[0098] In the specific implementation process, the specific value of a can be selected according to the actual needs to select different rotation margins, which are not specifically limited here. In addition, in this embodiment, other feasible specific settings can be further made to the coupling 18, the output shaft of the motor 23 and the material picker 12 to obtain more functions and effects.

[0099] For example, in this embodiment, the rotating shaft 121 of the material tapping device 12 can be rotatably installed in the material storage box 10 through a supporting member and closely cooperate with the material storage cavity 16, and at the same time, it is connected to the coupling 18 through a spline 122 to obtain the power provided by the motor 23, so as to tap the material under the action of the motor 23. The supporting member can be a bearing, a shaft hole, etc.

[0100] In a preferred embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the rotating shaft 121 is rotatably mounted on the storage box 10 via the bearing 19, and the surface of the rotating shaft 121 in contact with the bearing 19 can be coated with a Teflon coating.

[0101] The bearing 19 makes the rotating shaft 121 easier to rotate, and the provision of the Teflon coating can reduce the friction coefficient between the rotating shaft 121 and the bearing 19, thereby reducing the friction force that the rotating shaft 121 needs to overcome when rotating. At the same time, the provision of the Teflon coating can also make the size fit between the rotating shaft 121 and the bearing 19 tighter, so that the rotating shaft 121 and the bearing 19 can form a seal through reasonable size fit to prevent the material in the storage chamber 16 from leaking out.

[0102] Of course, in order to ensure that the friction force when the rotating shaft 121 rotates is small and the structure of the material storage box has good sealing performance, a sealing ring, a retaining ring and other structures can be further provided. In addition, an end cap can be provided to provide an installation position for parts such as bearings and sealing rings to achieve a better sealing effect. In addition, the Teflon coating used can also be replaced by other materials with the same function, which is not specifically limited here.

[0103] In addition to setting the plug hole 15 and the output shaft of the motor 23, other settings can also be made to the material storage device, so as to make the installation method of the material storage box 10 more humane and improve the user's experience of installing the material storage box 10.

[0104] One implementation method may be as follows Fig.13 As shown, a first magnet 22 is arranged on the groove wall of the storage box receiving groove 21; a second magnet 11 corresponding to the position of the first magnet 22 and capable of being adsorbed by the first magnet 22 is arranged on the storage box 10; the second magnet 11 is used to drive the storage box 10 to be loaded into the storage box receiving groove 21 under the action of the magnetic attraction force of the first magnet 22 during the process of the storage box 10 being inserted into the storage box receiving groove 21 from the opening of the storage box receiving groove 21.

[0105] Among them, the positions of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 correspond to each other, so that the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 form a directional magnetic attraction force, so that the storage box 10 is installed in alignment with the installation position under the action of the magnetic attraction force, so that the discharge port 17 can reach the accurate discharge position and avoid material discharge deviation. The generated magnetic attraction force can also save the user's effort, thereby making the installation process of the storage box 10 more humane.

[0106] In this embodiment, the first magnet 22 is arranged on the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21, and can be embedded under the outer surface of the slot wall, that is, forming a structure protected by the shell of the slot wall, or can expose the outer surface of the slot wall to form a structure exposed to the air, that is, the first magnet 22 is embedded in the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21, or is externally placed on the outer surface of the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21. Correspondingly, the second magnet 11 can also be built into the box body of the storage box 10, or can be arranged on the outer surface of the storage box 10, that is, the second magnet 11 is embedded in the storage box 10, or is externally placed on the outer surface of the storage box 10.

[0107] If the first magnet 22 is embedded in the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21, the first magnet 22 can be protected from direct contact with the air. Of course, for this structure, the interval between the first magnet 22 and the outer surface of the slot wall needs to be set to a suitable preset thickness to ensure that there is sufficient magnetic attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11.

[0108] If the first magnet 22 is placed on the outer surface of the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be made greater, thereby obtaining a better magnetic attraction effect, compared with the solution of embedding the first magnet 22 in the slot wall of the storage box receiving slot 21. A coating can also be further provided on the outer surface of the first magnet 22 to protect the first magnet 22, or a structure such as a groove can be provided to place the first magnet 22 to prevent the first magnet 22 from directly contacting the storage box 10.

[0109] The first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 are arranged in a corresponding position, so that the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 acts on the material storage box 10, so that the material storage box 10 is subjected to the force of aligning it with the installation position for adsorption. That is to say, in the present embodiment, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 not only makes the material storage box 10 be subjected to the action of the magnetic attraction after being inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21, thereby reducing the installation force provided manually, making the installation process more labor-saving, but also because the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 are arranged based on the installation position of the material storage box 10 in the material storage box receiving slot 21, the material storage box 10 is guided to the installation position in the material storage box receiving slot 21, so that the material storage box 10 is loaded into the material storage box receiving slot 21, and it is no longer necessary to manually adjust the material storage box 10 to the installation position.

[0110] In a specific implementation process, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be set to different magnet structures respectively. Exemplarily, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be set to permanent magnets. It is also possible to set one of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 as a permanent magnet and the other as an electromagnet. It is also possible to set both the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 as electromagnets. This embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0111] It should be clear that the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 need to maintain opposite polarities when the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box receiving slot 21, so that the installation process of the storage box 10 must be affected by the magnetic attraction from the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11. Exemplarily, if the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 are both permanent magnets, and the second magnet 11 is an S-pole magnet, the first magnet 22 should be set to an N-pole magnet accordingly. If the first magnet 22 is an electromagnet, the second magnet 11 is a permanent magnet, and the second magnet 11 is an S-pole magnet, and when the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box receiving slot 21, the polarity of the first magnet 22 is N-pole by controlling the direction of the current.

[0112] More specifically, if one of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 is set as an electromagnet, a sensor for sensing the insertion and extraction of the material storage box 10 can be correspondingly set in the material storage box receiving slot 21 to obtain an installation signal when the material storage box 10 is inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21, and a disassembly signal when the material storage box 10 is extracted from the material storage box receiving slot 21. In addition, according to the installation signal, the polarity of the first magnet 22 is opposite to that of the second magnet 11 when the material storage box 10 is inserted into the material storage box receiving slot 21, so that the material storage box 10 is adsorbed to the installation position. According to the disassembly signal, the polarity of the first magnet 22 is the same as that of the second magnet 11 when the material storage box 10 is extracted from the material storage box receiving slot 21, so that the material storage box 10 is subjected to the repulsive force from the first magnet 22 and detached from the installation position.

[0113] Furthermore, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 may be provided in plurality, and the specific arrangement positions of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 correspond to each other. Furthermore, in a specific embodiment, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 need to be arranged corresponding to the installation position of the storage box 10 in the storage box receiving slot 21, so that the magnetic attraction formed by the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 points to the installation position.

[0114] In this embodiment, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be magnetic blocks, magnetic sheets, magnetic rings, etc. The first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be arranged in a corresponding matrix arrangement, or in a corresponding circular arrangement, or in other arrangements, which are not limited here.

[0115] It should be understood that the first magnets 22 and the second magnets 11 correspond to each other, but this does not mean that the first magnets 22 completely maintain the same polarity. Similarly, the second magnets 11 do not necessarily maintain the same polarity.

[0116] Exemplarily, in a specific embodiment, the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 are both permanent magnets, and the plurality of first magnets 22 and second magnets 11 are arranged correspondingly as an inner ring and an outer ring, the inner ring and the outer ring have the same axis and the inner ring is located within the outer ring. The polarity of the first magnet 22 belonging to the inner ring is N pole, and the polarity of the first magnet 22 belonging to the outer ring is S pole. Corresponding to the arrangement of the first magnet 22, the polarity of the second magnet 11 belonging to the inner ring is set to S pole, and the polarity of the second magnet 11 belonging to the outer ring is set to N pole. When the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box receiving groove 21, the first magnet 22 belonging to the inner ring generates an attraction to the second magnet 11 belonging to the inner ring. The first magnet 22 belonging to the outer ring generates an attractive force on the second magnet 11 belonging to the outer ring, and generates a repulsive force on the second magnet 11 belonging to the inner ring, so that the lines of action of the magnetic attraction forces of all the first magnets 22 and the second magnets 11 are located on the axis of the inner ring and the outer ring, thereby achieving the goal of aligning the storage box 10 with the installation position for adsorption.

[0117] In this embodiment, the installation position of the material storage box 10 in the material storage box receiving slot 21 is affected by different factors, such as the output shaft position of the motor 23, the discharge mode of the discharge port 17, etc. When arranging the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11, corresponding arrangements need to be made according to requirements.

[0118] The arrangement of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 is further described below by taking the influence of the output shaft position of the motor 23 as an example.

[0119] The first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 can be arranged corresponding to the position of the output shaft of the motor 23, so that when the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box storage slot 21, the magnetic attraction of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 adsorbs the storage box 10 to the installation position, so that the output shaft of the motor 23 is just inserted into the plug-in hole 15 to form a transmission connection with the material selector 12.

[0120] One feasible implementation is that the first magnets 22 are distributed around the output shaft of the motor 23 , and the second magnets 11 are distributed around the plug-in hole 15 corresponding to the first magnets 22 .

[0121] For example: the first magnet 22 is a permanent magnet with 6 N poles, and is distributed in the storage box receiving groove around the output shaft of the motor 23, and these 6 N pole permanent magnets are evenly arranged on the first circular track with the axis of the output shaft as the center of the circle. Correspondingly, the arrangement of the second magnet around the plug-in hole 15 of the storage box 10 is also to evenly arrange 6 S pole permanent magnets, and also arranged on the second circular track with the center of the plug-in hole 15 as a circle. In addition, the diameter of the first circular track and the second circular track is the same, and the arrangement orientation of each N pole permanent magnet and each S pole permanent magnet also corresponds to each other. In this way, when the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box receiving groove 21, each N pole permanent magnet and each S pole permanent magnet of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 form a magnet pair, which will generate multiple magnetic attraction forces around the output shaft, so that the line of action of the resultant force of the entire magnetic field is coaxial with the output shaft and the plug-in hole 15. Furthermore, even if the position of the material storage box 10 deviates when it is inserted and the plug-in hole 15 is not coaxial with the output shaft, the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 will correct the position of the material storage box 10 and correct the plug-in hole 15 of the material storage box 10 to be coaxial with the output shaft, thereby ensuring that the output shaft of the motor 23 can be inserted into the plug-in hole 15, so that the material storage box 10 can be installed in place.

[0122] In a specific embodiment, there are many specific arrangements of the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 distributed around the motor 23 and the plug hole 15 respectively. Two feasible arrangements are provided below for schematic illustration.

[0123] The first arrangement is: a plurality of first magnets 22 and second magnets 11 are arranged and evenly arranged around the output shaft of the motor 23. Specifically, there are a plurality of first magnets 22 and they are evenly distributed around the axis of the output shaft; the number of second magnets 11 corresponds to the number of first magnets 22 and they are evenly distributed around the plug hole 15 corresponding to the distribution position of the first magnets 22. For example, the first magnets 22 are arranged on both sides of the output shaft of the motor 23, and the second magnets 11 are arranged on both sides of the output shaft of the motor 23. Fig. 9 As shown, they are arranged on both sides of the plug hole 15. Alternatively, the first magnets 22 are distributed in a circle with the output shaft of the motor 23 as the center, and the second magnets 11 are distributed in a circle with the plug hole 15 as the center.

[0124] The second arrangement is to set the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 as annular magnets arranged around the output shaft of the motor 23. Specifically, the first magnet 22 is an annular magnet, and its center is located on the axis of the output shaft; the second magnet 11 is an annular magnet corresponding to the first magnet 22, and its center is located on the axis of the plug hole 15.

[0125] By reasonably arranging the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11, the magnitude of the magnetic attraction force between the first magnet 22 and the second magnet 11 and the position of the line of action of the force can be defined, so that when the storage box 10 is inserted into the storage box storage slot 21, it provides installation assistance and a correction force to correct the deviation, ensuring that the output shaft of the motor 23 can be inserted into the plug hole 15, and also ensuring that the storage box 10 can be installed in place.

[0126] In addition to respectively arranging magnets on the material storage box 10 and in the material storage box receiving groove 21, other structural arrangements can be made on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment to make the material storage box easier to install.

[0127] In one embodiment, in order to make the storage box 10 easier to install, a slider, ribs and other structures can be provided on the storage box 10 to reduce the contact area between the storage box 10 and the storage box receiving groove 21, so as to reduce the friction of the storage box 10 during the disassembly and assembly process.

[0128] One specific implementation method is as follows Fig.14 As shown, Fig.14 A partial structural schematic diagram of a material storage device provided for this embodiment is specifically: the material storage box 10 is provided with a slide rail rib 13; a track 24 corresponding to the slide rail rib 13 is provided in the material storage box storage groove 21; the slide rail rib 13 is used to bear the weight of the material storage box 10 and slide on the track 24.

[0129] The slide rail ribs 13 can reduce the contact area of ​​the material storage box 10 with respect to the material storage box receiving groove 21, thereby reducing friction and avoiding the wear of the outer surface of the material storage box 10 and the groove wall of the material storage box receiving groove 21 under long-term use. In addition, the long-term wear of the slide rail ribs 13 during long-term use makes the contact position between the slide rail ribs 13 and the track 24 smoother and further reduces friction.

[0130] Furthermore, a guide structure may be provided to provide a guide for the sliding of the material storage box 10 to ensure the moving direction of the material storage box 10, thereby guiding the material storage box 10 to the correct installation position and allowing the material storage box 10 to be inserted into place under the guide. A specific implementation method may be that a slide groove is provided on the track 24; the slide rail rib 13 is used to fall into the slide groove when the material storage box 10 is inserted into the material storage box receiving groove 21, and slide along the slide groove. Of course, the guide device may also be provided as a guide shaft, a guide block or other structures, which are not limited here.

[0131] In another embodiment, in order to make the storage box 10 easier to install, a special handle 14 can be provided for the user to apply force when disassembling the storage box 10. Figure 4As shown, a handle 14 for holding is provided on the material storage box 10 ; the handle 14 is exposed from the material storage box receiving slot 21 when the material storage box 10 is loaded into the material storage box receiving slot 21 .

[0132] In the material storage device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the motor is arranged in the material storage box storage slot of the mounting base and the output shaft is directed toward the opening of the material storage box storage slot. The material storage box is provided with a plug hole leading to the material tapper, and the position of the plug hole corresponds to the position of the output shaft of the motor. When installing the material storage box, the user only needs to align the side of the material storage box provided with the plug hole with the opening of the material storage box storage slot and insert it. The output shaft of the motor will automatically insert into the plug hole and complete the transmission connection with the material tapper, thereby realizing the automatic alignment installation of the material storage box, and there is no need to manually establish the transmission connection between the material discharge device and the power device, making the disassembly and assembly of the material storage box more convenient, and making the installation method of the material storage box more humane. .

[0133] It should be noted that, although several structures, components or units for realizing related functions are mentioned in the above detailed description, such division is not mandatory. In fact, according to the specific implementation of the present application, the features and functions of two or more structures, components or units described above can be concretized in one structure, component or unit. Conversely, the features and functions of one structure, component or unit described above can be further divided into multiple components, structures or units to be concretized.

[0134] The technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below in conjunction with specific application scenarios.

[0135] Application Scenario 1

[0136] When using the material storage device provided by the present application, when the user inserts the material storage box into the material storage box receiving slot, the output shaft of the motor arranged in the material storage box receiving slot will approach the material storage box during the insertion process, and finally be inserted into the plug-in hole to achieve transmission connection with the material tapper. When the material storage box is withdrawn from the material storage box receiving slot, the output shaft will be withdrawn from the plug-in hole during the withdrawal process, and will be disconnected from the transmission connection with the material tapper when the withdrawal is completed.

[0137] Application Scenario 2

[0138] When using the material storage device provided by the present application, after the user loads the material storage box into the material storage box receiving slot, the output shaft of the motor is inserted into the plug hole and automatically connected to the material tapping device. At this time, if the user wants to discharge the material, he only needs to start the motor. When the user takes the material storage box out of the material storage box receiving slot, the output shaft of the motor automatically releases the transmission connection with the material tapping device as the material storage box is taken out, and the material tapping device will no longer be controlled by the motor.

[0139] Application Scenario 3

[0140] When using the material storage device provided by the present application, the user can prepare a plurality of different material storage boxes for a model of motor, and only needs to ensure that the sizes of the shaft holes of the couplings in the various material storage boxes are consistent, so that the various different material storage boxes can be used for the motor of the model. When the user wants to replace different material storage boxes, since the shaft holes of different material storage boxes have the same size, when the user loads different material storage boxes into the material storage box receiving slot, the shaft holes of these material storage boxes can be clamped with the output shaft of the motor, so that the user can replace different material storage boxes on the material storage device according to his own needs and preferences.

[0141] Application Scenario 4

[0142] When using the storage device provided by the present application, when the user inserts the storage box into the storage box receiving slot, even if the clamping portion of the motor output shaft abuts against the locking piece in the shaft hole of the coupling, the inclined surface on the locking piece will decompose the force caused by the abutment of the clamping portion, so that the output shaft or the coupling automatically rotates a certain angle, so that the clamping portion can be smoothly inserted into the clamping space, and the storage box can be smoothly inserted into the storage box receiving slot and installed in place.

[0143] Application Scenario 5

[0144] When using the storage device provided in the present application, when the user inserts the storage box into the storage box receiving slot, the clamping portion of the motor output shaft abuts against the locking piece in the shaft hole of the coupling, and when the output shaft of the motor cannot rotate, the inclined surface on the locking piece will cause the coupling to automatically rotate a certain angle, and because the sleeve hole of the coupling in the storage box and the spline set on the rotating shaft of the material tapper have a rotation margin, the coupling will not drive the material tapper to rotate when it automatically rotates a certain angle, thereby ensuring that no accidental material release will occur in the process.

[0145] Application Scenario 6

[0146] When using the material storage device provided by the present application, the user only needs to insert the material storage box into the material storage box receiving slot, and the material storage box will be aligned with the installation position under the magnetic attraction of the first magnet and the second magnet, and automatically loaded into the material storage box receiving slot. When the user takes the material storage box out of the material storage box receiving slot, the user only needs to pull and draw to realize the disassembly of the material storage box.

[0147] In addition, although the components and the installation methods of the components or devices in the present application are described in a specific order in the drawings, this does not require or imply that the components or devices must be designed according to the specific components or the installation methods of the components, or that all the components shown must be included to achieve the desired results. Additionally or alternatively, some components can be omitted, multiple components can be combined into one component to achieve corresponding functions, and / or one component can be decomposed into multiple components to achieve corresponding functions, etc.

[0148] Although the present application is disclosed as above in the form of a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any technical personnel in this field may make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present application shall be based on the scope defined by the claims of the present application.
