Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cooking machines, and in particular to a feeding arm mounting structure of a feeder and a mounting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of intelligent modern kitchen appliances, cooking machines have become a standard feature of many family kitchens. The higher the degree of automation of the cooking machine, the more it can free people's hands and improve cooking efficiency. Among the various components of the cooking machine, the feeder is one of the key links to achieve automated cooking. The feeder can automatically feed ingredients according to the preset program and quantity, greatly simplifying the cooking process.

[0003] In the traditional feeder design, a mounting hole is usually provided at the rotating connection of the feeder arm, and a shaft extends from the base into the mounting hole of the feeder arm to realize the connection of the feeder.

[0004] For example, the feeding arm mounting structure in the cooking equipment and feeding device of CN117918683A has a complex feeding arm connection structure; during the assembly process of this structure, the shaft needs to be extended from the inside of the base and pass through the mounting hole of the feeding arm; a large installation space is required in the base, and it cannot be applied to the situation where the space on the base for installing the feeding arm is narrow. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above problems, this patent focuses on studying and improving the installation structure of the feeding arm. Through optimized design, we propose a new type of feeding arm installation structure, which is suitable for the situation where the installation space in the base is narrow.

[0007] The installation method includes:

[0008] S1 places the feeding arm trunk at the corresponding position on the base;

[0009] S2 puts shaft 1 into the installation cavity;

[0010] S3 pushes shaft 1 toward mounting hole 1 so that the protruding part thereof is inserted into the base;

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the feeding arm trunk is installed, the shaft 1 extends out from the feeding arm trunk, and the feeding arm can be installed even if the installation space in the base is narrow. The structure is simple and reasonable, and the installation is convenient.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding arm also includes a second axis; the mounting cavity is also provided with a second mounting hole extending to the outside of the feeding arm trunk; the second axis passes through the second mounting hole from the mounting cavity and extends out, and the extended part is rotatably connected to the base; the two sides of the limit member are respectively against the first axis and the second axis to prevent the first axis and the second axis from retracting.

[0014] The installation method includes:

[0015] S1 places the feeding arm trunk at the corresponding position on the base;

[0016] S2 puts shaft 1 and shaft 2 into the installation cavity;

[0017] S3 pushes shaft 1 toward mounting hole 1 and shaft 2 toward mounting hole 2, so that the extended part is inserted into the base;

[0018] S4 installs a stopper into the mounting cavity to prevent the axis 1 and the axis 2 from retracting.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the first shaft and the second shaft can be set as parts with the same shape, thereby reducing the mold opening cost.

[0020] Furthermore, the installation cavity is groove-shaped; the limiting member includes a limiting crown and a limiting plug; the limiting plug is inserted into the installation cavity, and the two sides are respectively against the axis one and the axis two; the limiting crown and the outer surface of the feeding arm trunk form a flat surface.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further scheme is that the limit plug only needs to prevent shaft one and shaft two from retracting, so it is not necessary to completely fill the installation cavity, and more unfilled space can be retained inside the installation cavity to save materials and reduce the weight of the feeder; in addition, the outer surface of the feeding arm is smooth for easy cleaning.

[0022] Furthermore, the shaft one includes a shaft rod one and a shaft crown one, the mounting hole one is adapted to the shaft rod one, the shaft rod one passes through the mounting hole one, and the shaft crown one is located in the mounting cavity; the shaft two includes a shaft rod two and a shaft crown two, the mounting hole two is adapted to the shaft rod two, the shaft rod two passes through the mounting hole two, and the shaft crown two is located in the mounting cavity; the two sides of the limit member are respectively against the shaft crown one and the shaft crown two.
