Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cooking machines, in particular to a tipping bucket feeder capable of feeding sauces. Background Art

[0002] As the pace of modern life accelerates, people's demand for convenient and efficient cooking methods is growing. As a multifunctional kitchen appliance, cooking machines are widely popular because they can greatly improve cooking efficiency. Among the various functions of cooking machines, the feeding process is particularly important, which directly affects the efficiency and quality of dish making.

[0003] As a common feeding device, the tipping bucket feeder is widely used in cooking machines, mainly for feeding solid ingredients. However, in practical applications, when it is necessary to feed semi-solid ingredients such as sauces, the traditional tipping bucket feeder has significant problems. Due to its viscosity and easy adhesion, the sauce easily sticks to the inner wall of the hopper, resulting in uneven feeding or even failure to complete feeding. This not only affects the efficiency and effect of cooking, but also increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.

[0004] Existing solutions mostly focus on improving the material and surface treatment of the hopper, but these methods often have limited effects and cannot fundamentally solve the problem of sauce sticking. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome this technical difficulty and improve the automation level and user experience of the cooking machine, this patent proposes a tipping bucket feeder specially optimized for sauce delivery. The feeder is innovative and improved on the basis of the traditional tipping bucket feeder, aiming to effectively solve the problem of sauce sticking to the inner wall of the hopper through structural optimization and functional enhancement, and realize efficient sauce delivery.

[0006] The present invention provides a tipping bucket feeder capable of feeding sauces, comprising a base, a feeding arm flipably connected to the base, a bracket movable on the base, and a plurality of hoppers detachably mounted on the bracket; when the bracket moves, the hopper passes through a position corresponding to the feeding arm, at which time the feeding arm is connected to the hopper via a temporary connection structure and flipped to achieve feeding; at least one of the hoppers is a sauce hopper; a sauce plate is movably connected to the sauce hopper, and when the sauce hopper flips, the sauce plate moves toward the mouth of the sauce hopper under the action of gravity and / or flipping power.

[0007] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that when the sauce plate moves toward the mouth of the sauce hopper under the action of gravity and / or overturning power, the sauce on the sauce plate can be thrown out, effectively solving the problem of the sauce sticking to the inner wall of the hopper and achieving efficient delivery of the sauce.

[0008] Furthermore, the sauce hopper includes a sauce hopper body, the sauce hopper body is vertically provided with a guide rod from the bottom position, the sauce plate is provided with a guide hole three corresponding to the guide rod, and the sauce plate is slidably mounted on the guide rod.

[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further scheme are: the structure is simple and reasonable, the sauce plate can move stably in the sauce bucket body, and the stability is improved.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a blocking block for blocking the sauce plate from slipping off the guide rod. The blocking block is arranged on the guide rod.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is: preventing the sauce plate from falling off from the sauce hopper, and the overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the sauce plate is provided with convex points.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the adhesion of the sauce on the sauce plate is further reduced.

[0014] Furthermore, mutually cooperating guide ribs and guide grooves are provided between the sauce plate and the sauce bowl body.

[0015] The beneficial effects of adopting the above further solution are: simple and reasonable structure and improved stability. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
