In this way, when the air flow flows into the barrel 31 from the vent 130, the air flow will flow along the cylindrical outer surface of the shaft 340, bypass the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 340 and reach the position of the temperature sensor 39. In this embodiment, the arrangement direction of the vent 130 , the shaft 340 , and the temperature sensor 39 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the shaft 340 , so that the temperature sensor 39 can accurately measure the temperature in the barrel 31 . Figure 3The arrow in the figure indicates the direction of the airflow. It should be noted that, depending on the structure of the stirring portion 34, the shaft portion 340 may be the shaft of the stirring portion 34, a coupling disposed at the end, or a motor shaft engaged with the shaft end. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the shaft portion 340 is where the coupling is located.

[0070] exist Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the air supply assembly 40 is disposed through the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12. Specifically, the air inlet end of the fan 41 and the air cylinder 42 is disposed in the second assembly 12, and the air outlet end of the air cylinder 42 is disposed in the first assembly 11. Such an arrangement allows the air supply assembly 40 to fully utilize part of the idle space in the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12, thereby improving space utilization. The air cylinder 42 may be configured as a bent structure, including but not limited to a right-angle bent structure, so that the air cylinder 42 adapts to the structure of the first assembly 11 and the second assembly 12. In some other embodiments, the air supply assembly 40 may be completely disposed in the first assembly 11.

[0071] Please refer to Fig.12 and Fig.13 , Fig.12 1 is an exploded view of the silo assembly 30 . Fig.13 FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the silo assembly 30 .

[0072] In one embodiment, the material barrel 31 is provided with a material discharge hole 3114, which can be provided at the barrel bottom 311 of the material barrel 31, and the position, shape and number of the material discharge hole 3114 are not limited. The silo assembly 30 further includes a material discharge baffle 33, which can move relative to the material barrel 31 to open and close the material discharge hole 3114. The material discharge baffle 33 and the material discharge hole 3114 can realize automatic material discharge of food.

[0073] The material removal baffle 33 is connected to the stirring portion 34 in a one-way transmission manner. The material removal baffle 33 can be moved along the first direction ( Fig.13The material discharge baffle 33 is driven when the stirring part 34 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction to open the material discharge hole 3114. The material discharge baffle 33 can also remain stationary when the stirring part 34 rotates in the second direction opposite to the first direction. When the material discharge hole 3114 is in a closed state, the stirring part 34 is controlled to rotate in the second direction. At this time, the material discharge baffle 33 remains in the position of closing the material discharge hole 3114, and the stirring part 34 can be used to achieve uniform stirring of the food. When the stirring part 34 is controlled to rotate in the first direction, the stirring part 34 can drive the material discharge baffle 33 to move, open the material discharge hole 3114, and the food can be discharged from the material discharge hole 3114, thereby achieving automatic discharge and uniform stirring of the food. The stirring part 34 can be driven by a motor arranged in the first component 11, and the motor adopts a motor that can rotate bidirectionally in the first direction and the second direction. The material discharge baffle 33 can be manually reset to close the material discharge hole 3114.

[0074] exist Fig.13 In the embodiment shown, two feeding holes 3114 are provided, and the two feeding holes 3114 are arranged 180° apart. Correspondingly, the feeding baffle 33 is arranged one-to-one with the two feeding holes 3114. The feeding holes 3114 are arranged as fan-shaped holes, and the feeding baffle 33 is arranged as a fan-shaped plate. In one embodiment, the opening area of ​​each feeding hole 3114 is S, 1cm 2 ≤S≤10cm 2 . For example, it can be 1cm 2 , 2cm 2 , 3cm 2 , 4cm 2 , 5cm 2 、6cm 2 、7cm 2 、8cm 2 、9cm 2 , 10cm 2 , but it is not limited to this.

[0075] The present application does not limit the activity mode of the material discharge baffle 33. For example, the material discharge baffle 33 can be arranged to rotate together with the stirring part 34, that is, the material discharge baffle 33 rotates synchronously under the driving action of the stirring part 34 to open the material discharge hole 3114. For another example, the material discharge baffle 33 is arranged to be movable, and when the stirring part 34 rotates, it can push the material discharge baffle 33 to move and open the material discharge hole 3114. In this embodiment, the former is adopted.

[0076] In one embodiment, the unloading baffle 33 is rotatable, and the silo assembly 30 further includes a one-way bearing (not shown), the one-way bearing includes an inner ring and an outer ring arranged coaxially, the stirring portion is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the one-way bearing in the circumferential direction, the unloading baffle 33 is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the one-way bearing in the circumferential direction, the inner ring and the outer ring can remain relatively stationary in the first direction, and can rotate relatively in the second direction. In this way, when the stirring portion 34 rotates along the first direction, the stirring portion 34 can drive the unloading baffle 33 to rotate together, and open the unloading hole 3114. The one-way bearing is a standard part with a simple structure and low cost. Of course, in some other embodiments, a one-way ratchet or the like can also be used to realize a one-way transmission connection between the stirring portion 34 and the unloading baffle 33.

[0077] exist Fig.13 In the illustrated embodiment, the discharge hole 3114 extends around the stirring portion 34 , and the barrel bottom 311 is formed with a first cutoff end 3115 and a second cutoff end 3116 that define the discharge hole 3114 , and the first cutoff end 3115 and the second cutoff end 3116 are spaced apart from each other in the extension direction of the discharge hole 3114 .

[0078] The material removal baffle 33 includes a first end 332 and a second end 333. When the material removal hole 3114 is in a closed state, the first end 332 is correspondingly arranged at the first cut-off end 3115, and the second end 333 is correspondingly arranged at the second cut-off end 3116. Moreover, the direction from the second end 333 to the first end 332 is consistent with the first direction. The first end 332 and the first cut-off end 3115 are staggered in the axial direction of the stirring portion 34, and the second end 333 and the second cut-off end 3116 are arranged at the same height in the axial direction of the stirring portion 34. In this way, when the material removal baffle 33 rotates in the first direction and opens the material removal hole 3114, the first end 332 and the first cut-off end 3115 can move away from each other due to the staggered position, and no interference or collision occurs, thereby ensuring the smooth rotation of the material removal baffle 33. Moreover, when the stirring portion 34 rotates in the second direction, the second cut-off end 3116 can block the second end 333 to prevent the material removal baffle 33 from rotating.

[0079] In one embodiment, the dimension of the first cut-off end 3115 in the axial direction of the stirring portion 34 is smaller than the dimension of the second cut-off end 3116 in this direction. In this configuration, the difference in thickness between the first cut-off end 3115 and the second cut-off end 3116 can be utilized to make the first end 332 axially staggered from the first cut-off end 3115, and the second end 333 circumferentially opposite to the second cut-off end 3116.

[0080] In another embodiment, the first cut-off end 3115 and the second cut-off end 3116 are provided with a height difference H in the axial direction of the stirring portion 34, 1mm≤H≤5mm. That is to say, the first end 332 can be axially offset from the first cut-off end 3115 by the difference in the axial height between the first cut-off end 3115 and the second cut-off end 3116, and the second end 333 can be circumferentially opposite to the second cut-off end 3116. The height difference H can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, but is not limited thereto. In the embodiment where the unloading baffle 33 is arranged above the barrel bottom 311, the height difference H is specifically the height difference between the upper surface of the first cut-off end 3115 and the upper surface of the second cut-off end 3116.

[0081] exist Fig.13 In the illustrated embodiment, the unloading baffle 33 is disposed in the barrel 31 , the first cut-off end 3115 is closer to the bottom of the barrel 31 than the second cut-off end 3116 , and a height difference is provided between the first cut-off end 3115 and the second cut-off end 3116 in the axial direction of the stirring portion 34 .

[0082] In one embodiment, the first end 332 may also be provided with a chamfer or a chamfered surface, which may reduce the thickness of the first end 332, thereby axially staggering the first end 332 and the first cut-off end 3115. Of course, the first cut-off end 3115 may also be provided with a chamfer or a chamfered surface.

[0083] like Fig.12 As shown, the stirring portion 34 includes a shaft portion 340 and a stirring paddle 341 connected to the shaft portion 340, wherein the stirring paddle 341 and the shaft portion 340 can be set as an integrated structure. For example, the shaft portion 340 is formed as an insert and is integrally formed with the stirring paddle 341, but is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the shaft portion 340 and the stirring paddle 341 can be injection molded at one time, and can also be connected together by welding, riveting, gluing, etc.

[0084] In one embodiment, the stirring portion 34 further includes a shaft portion 340 and a stirring paddle 341 connected to the shaft portion 340, wherein the stirring paddle 341 includes a first blade 3410 and a second blade 3411 spirally arranged around the shaft portion, wherein the first blade 3410 is spaced 180° from the axial end of the shaft portion 340 to the axial end of the second blade 3411. With such a configuration, the first blade 3410 and the second blade 3411 are subjected to relatively balanced forces when stirring the food.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first blade 3410 is configured as a spiral blade with a variable pitch, and the radial dimension of the first blade 3410 protruding from the shaft portion 340 gradually decreases from the bottom of the barrel 31 upward. In this way, the space occupied by the first blade 3410 in the barrel 31 can be reduced, and the effective capacity of the barrel 31 for accommodating food can be increased. Of course, the second blade 3411 is configured as a spiral blade with a variable pitch, and the radial dimension of the second blade 3411 protruding from the shaft portion 340 gradually decreases from the bottom of the barrel 31 upward.

[0086] In one embodiment, the material barrel 31 can be used as a baking material barrel, and hot air is passed into the material barrel 31. In order to ensure the circulation of hot air, the barrel bottom 311 is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed air holes 3117, through which the air flow in the material barrel 31 is discharged. The air holes 3117 can be arranged to communicate with the cooking cup 20, but are not limited thereto. The opening area of ​​the air holes 3117 should be arranged to be smaller than the particle size of the food to prevent the food from leaking out of the air holes 3117.

[0087] In one embodiment, the air hole 3117 can be set as a circular hole, and the diameter of the air hole 3117 is set between 1mm and 7mm, for example, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm. In the embodiment where the air hole 3117 is set as a non-circular hole, the length of the shortest side of the air hole 3117 is set between 1mm and 7mm, for example, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm.

[0088] Please refer to Fig.14 and Fig.15 , Fig.14 It is a partial cross-sectional view of another embodiment of the silo assembly 30 being installed on the machine body 10 . Fig.15 yes Fig.14 An exploded view of the silo assembly 30 is shown in FIG.

[0089] The stirring part 34 also includes a second one-way transmission member 345, and the second one-way transmission member 345 includes a first sub-member and a second sub-member. The shaft 340 is used for power input, and the shaft 340 is connected to the first sub-member, and the stirring paddle 341 is connected to the second sub-member. The first sub-member and the second sub-member can rotate relative to each other in the first direction, and can remain relatively still in the second direction. In other words, the stirring paddle 341 rotates with the shaft 340 when the shaft 340 rotates along the second direction. At this time, the unloading baffle 33 is in a closed state, and the stirring paddle 341 can be used to stir the food in the barrel 31. When the unloading baffle 33 is opened, the stirring paddle 341 remains still during the unloading process, realizing the one-way rotation of the stirring paddle 341.

[0090] The second one-way transmission member 345 can be a one-way bearing or a ratchet mechanism. When a one-way bearing is used, the first sub-member and the second sub-member are the inner ring and the outer ring of the one-way bearing respectively. When a ratchet mechanism is used, the first sub-member and the second sub-member are the one-way ratchet and the pawl respectively, which will not be described in detail here.
