Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food storage, and specifically provides a food raw material storage device for food processing. Background Art

[0002] As is well known, food production and processing necessarily require food raw materials, and different foods require different processing raw materials. People must store various food raw materials for easy access. Currently, people usually store different food raw materials in different storage containers. When taking materials, people often need to go to different storage container storage points to take materials, which is rather troublesome. Moreover, a large number of storage containers will also waste a large amount of storage space. In addition, the demand for different food raw materials is different, so the storage quantity is also different. If the storage space of the storage container is too large, it will cause waste of storage space, and if it is too small, it cannot meet the needs of food production.

[0003] After retrieval, a patent document with the publication number CN218086664U discloses a food raw material storage device for food processing with good storage effect, including a base. Four fixing sleeves are fixedly connected to the top of the base, and the four fixing sleeves are symmetrically and evenly distributed. Through the setting of the partition board, the space inside the storage box can be conveniently divided to make full use of the storage space. At the same time, through the setting of the discharge pipe and the valve, when the raw materials are needed, they can be discharged through the discharge pipe, which can greatly reduce the opening of the box cover.

[0004] However, the above patent still has the following defects: Regarding the sealing problem of the partition board, in this application, the partition board is only fixed by the card slot, and fine raw material particles are likely to seep into the gap, which may cause jamming after long-term accumulation. Moreover, there is no sealing structure in the card slot. When the partition board is not in use, the card slot lacks sealing, resulting in materials easily entering the card slot, which not only affects the subsequent use of the partition board but also causes inconvenience in subsequent cleaning.

[0005] In view of this, a food raw material storage device for food processing is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A food raw material storage device for food processing includes a storage box. A card slot is provided inside the storage box. A partition board is slidably arranged in the card slot. A slider is fixed on the side wall of the partition board. An airbag is fixed on the side of the slider away from the partition board. A sealing structure is arranged in the card slot;

[0008] The plugging structure includes a plurality of plugging plates arranged inside the card slot and a reset component arranged inside the storage box. The reset component includes a guide rod fixed to one side of the plugging plate and penetrating through the inside of the storage box. A circular plate is fixed to the outer surface of the guide rod, and a reset spring is fixed between the circular plate and the storage box;

[0009] An inflation mechanism for inflating the airbag is arranged on the top side of the partition plate. The inflation mechanism is composed of a driving structure and an air delivery structure. The driving structure includes a driving shaft. A turntable is fixed to one end of the driving shaft, and a roller connected to the air delivery structure is arranged on the turntable;

[0010] The air delivery structure includes a piston cylinder arranged on the top side of the partition plate. A piston block is slidably arranged inside the piston cylinder. A piston rod hinged to the roller is fixed to one side of the piston block. An air delivery pipe is fixed between the piston cylinder and the airbag;

[0011] A linkage structure is arranged between the plugging plate and the air delivery structure.

[0012] Furthermore, sealing strips are fixedly installed on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the plugging plate, and both of the two sealing strips are abutted against the inner side of the card slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a perforation communicating with the card slot is formed inside the storage box. The guide rod penetrates through the perforation and extends to the outside of the storage box, and the reset spring is wound around the outside of the guide rod.

[0014] Furthermore, an installation shell is fixed to the top side of the partition plate. The driving structure is located inside the installation shell, and the driving shaft is connected to the installation shell by a bearing.

[0015] Furthermore, a chute adapted to the roller is formed inside the turntable. The roller is in rolling connection with the inner side of the chute, and a limiting seat for limiting the piston rod is fixed to the inner side of the installation shell.

[0016] Furthermore, an installation seat is fixed to the upper surface of the partition plate. The piston cylinder is fixed to the installation seat, and a locking block cooperating with the linkage structure is arranged on the side wall of the installation seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the linkage structure includes a connecting member arranged on the plugging plate, a transmission member rotatably arranged on the top side of the storage box, and a locking rod. One end of the locking rod is inserted into the locking block.

[0018] Furthermore, the connecting member includes a fixed seat fixed to the upper surface of the plugging plate. An installation shaft is fixed to one side of the fixed seat, and a connecting rod is fixed to the lower surface of the installation shaft.

[0019] Further, the transmission member includes a rotating shaft with a bearing mounted on the top side of the storage box. A gear is fixed to the top end of the rotating shaft. Two racks are externally engaged with the gear.

[0032] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6In this embodiment, a food raw material storage device for food processing includes a storage box 1 having a slot 2 defined on its inner side. A partition 3 is slidably disposed within the slot 2. A slider 31 is fixed to the sidewall of the partition 3. An airbag 32 is fixed to the side of the slider 31 away from the partition 3. A blocking structure is disposed within the slot 2. Specifically, the blocking structure includes a plurality of blocking plates 4 disposed within the slot 2 and a reset assembly 5 disposed within the storage box 1. Sealing strips 41 are fixed to the left and right outer walls of the blocking plates 4, and both sealing strips 41 abut against the inner side of the slot 2. The reset assembly 5 includes a guide rod 501 fixed to one side of the blocking plate 4 and extending through the interior of the storage box 1. A circular piece 502 is fixed to the outer surface of the guide rod 501. A reset spring 503 is fixed between the circular piece 502 and the storage box 1. When the partition 3 is inserted, the blocking plate 4 flexibly retreats due to the reset spring 503, preventing wear caused by hard collisions. Storage box 1 has a through-hole inside that connects to slot 2. A guide rod 501 extends through the through-hole and out of storage box 1. A return spring 503 surrounds the guide rod 501. When partition 3 is removed, return spring 503 pushes blocking plate 4 back into place quickly. Its edge scrapes away any remaining material in slot 2, eliminating manual cleaning. There are a number of slots 2, symmetrically arranged in groups of two.

[0034] To improve the sealing effect, an inflation mechanism for inflating the airbag 32 is installed on the top side of the partition 3. The inflation mechanism consists of a drive structure 7 and an air delivery structure 8. The drive structure 7 includes a drive shaft 701, one end of which is fixed to a turntable 702, on which is mounted a roller 704 connected to the air delivery structure 8. The air delivery structure 8 includes a piston cylinder 802 installed on the top side of the partition 3, a piston block 804 slidingly mounted inside the piston cylinder 802, and a piston rod 803 hingedly connected to the roller 704 fixed to one side of the piston block 804. An air delivery pipe 805 is fixed between the piston cylinder 802 and the airbag 32. A mounting housing 6 is fixed to the top side of the partition 3, the drive structure 7 is located within the mounting housing 6, and the drive shaft 701 is connected to the mounting housing 6 by a bearing. Specifically, the interior of the turntable 702 is provided with a chute 703 adapted for the roller 704. The roller 704 is in rolling connection with the inner side of the chute 703. A stopper is fixed to the inner side of the mounting shell 6 to limit the position of the piston rod 803. The gas delivery structure 8, consisting of the piston cylinder 802, piston block 804, and gas pipe 805, can stably store and deliver compressed air, ensuring that the airbag 32 maintains a stable pressure after inflation. Furthermore, the stopper inside the mounting shell 6 limits the position of the piston rod 803, ensuring that the piston rod 803 does not deviate during movement, further ensuring the stability of the inflation process and the durability of the sealing effect. There are two gas delivery structures 8, both of which are driven by the drive structure 7.

[0035] In this application, the driving structure 7 drives the turntable 702 to rotate through the driving shaft 701. The roller 704 on the turntable 702 rolls in the chute 703, pushing the piston rod 803 to move reciprocally, and then compressing the air by the piston block 804 in the piston cylinder 802. The compressed air is delivered to the airbag 32 through the air delivery pipe 805, causing the airbag 32 to expand and press against the side wall of the clamping groove 2. This efficient inflation method can quickly and effectively make the airbag 32 reach the appropriate pressure, thereby significantly improving the sealing effect and preventing the leakage of substances in the storage tank 1 or the entry of external impurities.

[0036] In this embodiment, a mounting seat 801 is fixed on the upper surface of the partition plate 3, the piston cylinder 802 is fixed on the mounting seat 801, and a locking block 806 is arranged on the side wall of the mounting seat 801 and is matched with the linkage structure. Specifically, a linkage structure is arranged between the sealing plate 4 and the air delivery structure 8. The linkage structure includes a connecting member arranged on the sealing plate 4, a transmission member rotatably arranged on the top side of the storage tank 1, and a locking rod 15. One end of the locking rod 15 is inserted into the locking block 806. Among them, the connecting member includes a fixing seat 9 fixed on the upper surface of the sealing plate 4, a mounting shaft 10 is fixed on one side of the fixing seat 9, and a connecting rod 11 is fixed on the lower surface of the mounting shaft 10. The transmission member includes a rotating shaft 12 installed on the top side of the storage tank 1 by a bearing, a gear 13 is fixed at the top end of the rotating shaft 12, and two racks 14 are externally engaged with the gear 13. One end of the locking rod 15 away from the locking block 806 is fixed on the outer surface of one of the racks 14, and the bottom end of the connecting rod 11 is fixed on the outer surface of the other rack 14. When the airbag 32 is inflated, the sealing plate 4 moves inward. The sealing plate 4 drives the transmission member to move through the connecting member, and then pushes the locking rod 15 to insert into the locking block 806. This design cleverly combines the inflation and sealing action of the airbag 32 with the locking action of the partition plate 3, realizing the coordinated operation of sealing and fixing. On the one hand, it ensures the sealing performance of the storage tank 1 and prevents the leakage of substances; on the other hand, it enhances the stability of the partition plate 3 in the storage tank 1 and prevents the partition plate 3 from loosening or shifting. Since the sealing and locking actions are realized simultaneously through the linkage structure, the operator only needs to perform the inflation operation of the airbag 32 to complete the two steps of sealing and locking at the same time, greatly improving the operation efficiency and reducing the operation steps and time costs. Guide blocks 16 are fixed on the lower surfaces of the two racks 14, and a guide groove 17 adapted to the guide blocks 16 is formed inside the top side of the storage tank 1. The cooperation between the guide blocks 16 and the guide groove 17 plays an accurate guiding role for the movement of the racks 14, ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the racks 14 during the movement process, avoiding the phenomenon of the racks 14 shifting or jamming, and thus improving the operation reliability and stability of the linkage structure.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0038] Insert the partition 3 into the card slot 2. The slider 31 is in sliding fit with the card slot 2. After the partition 3 is completely installed in the storage box 1, rotate the drive shaft 701 to drive the turntable 702 to rotate. The roller 704 rolls in the chute 703, pushing the piston rod 803 to move reciprocally. The piston block 804 compresses the air in the piston cylinder 802 and inflates the airbag 32 through the air delivery pipe 805, causing it to expand and press against the side wall of the card slot 2 to form a seal.

[0039] When the airbag 32 is inflated and deforms, it will block the inward movement of the blocking plate 4. When the blocking plate 4 moves, it drives the rack 14 to move horizontally through the connecting rod 11, driving the gear 13 to rotate. The rack 14 on the other side pushes the locking rod 15 to insert into the locking block 806 to lock the position of the partition 3.

[0040] The installation methods, connection methods, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that can achieve its beneficial effects can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can realize the control of the electrical components through simple programming, and the existing publicly disclosed power connection technology also belongs to the common knowledge in this field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be elaborated too much in this embodiment.

[0041] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising an..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising the element.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
