Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, and in particular to a feeding drive mechanism, a feeding assembly, and a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Current cooking equipment, such as smart cooking equipment, typically includes a feeding assembly to dispense solid seasonings. However, current feeding assemblies usually use a single motor to drive one feeding box. This means that when the cooking equipment needs to dispense multiple solid seasonings, multiple motors are required to feed multiple boxes, making the entire feeding assembly structure complex and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a feeder drive mechanism, a feeding assembly, and a cooking device. By using a single drive unit, when the clutch mechanism is in different positions, it can drive two output components to work to feed the seasonings from the two spice boxes. This simplifies the structure of the feeding assembly, reduces its size, and lowers its manufacturing cost, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0004] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a feeding drive mechanism, including: a drive unit and a transmission unit. The transmission unit includes two output members arranged in pairs relative to the drive unit and a clutch mechanism. The clutch mechanism is connected between the drive unit and the two output members. The clutch mechanism includes a first gear and a second gear. In the first gear, the clutch mechanism drives and connects the drive unit and one output member. In the second gear, the clutch mechanism drives and connects the drive unit and the other output member.

[0005] Furthermore, the clutch mechanism includes: two transmission wheels corresponding to the two output components, the two transmission wheels being drivenly connected, one of the transmission wheels being connected to the drive unit; a clutch element, the clutch element being movably disposed between the corresponding transmission wheel and the output component, the same transmission wheel rotating in opposite directions, which can drive the clutch element to move, so that the clutch element and the same output component are respectively in an engaged state and a disengaged state; wherein, the drive unit rotates, and through the two transmission wheels, drives the two clutch elements to be in an engaged state and a disengaged state respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive unit can switch the drive direction and drive each clutch element to switch states, so that the clutch mechanism can switch between the first gear and the second gear.

[0007] Furthermore, a first transmission structure is provided at the end of the transmission wheel away from the drive unit, a first engagement part is provided at the output member, and a second transmission structure and a second engagement part are respectively provided at both ends of the clutch member. The first transmission structure and the second transmission structure cooperate with each other and can move relative to each other. The relative positions of the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure include a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the first engagement part and the second engagement part are in a separated state, and when in the second position, the first engagement part and the second engagement part are in a engaged state.

[0008] Furthermore, one of the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure is a convex part and the other is a concave part. The concave part includes a first end face and a second end face arranged along the relative movement direction of the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure, and a connecting surface connecting the first end face and the second end face. The height of the first end face is less than the height of the second end face. The convex part abuts against the connecting surface and can move within the concave part along the connecting surface. When the convex part contacts the first end face, the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure are in a second position. When the convex part contacts the second end face, the first transmission structure and the second transmission structure are in a first position.

[0009] Furthermore, the height difference between the first end face and the second end face is greater than or equal to the maximum gap width between the first joint and the second joint.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second joints include meshing teeth; the teeth include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface extending to both sides from the tooth tip along the rotation direction, the length of the first inclined surface is greater than the length of the second inclined surface, and the inclination direction of the first inclined surface is opposite to the inclination direction of the connecting surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the output component includes a first guide post, a first engagement portion disposed on the periphery of the first guide post, and a clutch component movably sleeved on the outside of the first guide post.

[0012] The number of first transmission structures is one or at least two, with at least two first transmission structures distributed around the periphery of the first guide post to limit the movement of the first guide post relative to the transmission wheel.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding drive mechanism also includes: a housing and a cover plate, a drive unit, a clutch mechanism, and an output component located within the space enclosed by the housing and the cover plate, the output component being rotatably connected to the cover plate, the output component being provided with an output section, and the cover plate being provided with a clearance opening for avoiding the output section.

[0014] Furthermore, the output component also includes a limiting structure, which is engaged at the clearance opening to limit the movement of the output component relative to the cover plate. The output portion is located at the end of the limiting structure away from the drive portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the housing is provided with an opening that mates with the cover plate, and the interior of the housing is provided with a first receiving compartment and a second receiving compartment that are connected to each other. Facing the opening, the drive unit, the transmission wheel connected to the drive unit, the corresponding clutch, and the output component are sequentially housed in the first receiving compartment, and the other transmission wheel, the corresponding clutch, and the output component are housed in the second receiving compartment. The exterior of the housing is provided with a stepped structure, which includes a first step and a second step opposite to the opening. The height of the first step is greater than the height of the second step. The first receiving compartment is located between the first step and the opening, and the second receiving compartment is located between the second step and the opening.

[0016] Furthermore, a partition is provided in the first receiving compartment to divide the first receiving compartment into a first sub-compartment and a second sub-compartment. The drive unit is installed in the first sub-compartment, and the transmission wheel, the corresponding clutch, and the output component are housed in the second sub-compartment. The drive unit includes an output shaft, which passes through the partition and is connected to the transmission wheel. There are two drive units, and the two first receiving compartments are located between the two second receiving compartments.

[0017] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a feeding assembly, including: a material box, a discharging mechanism, and a feeding drive mechanism of any one of the first aspects, wherein the material box corresponds to an output component, and the discharging mechanism connects the material box and the corresponding output component.

[0018] An embodiment of the third aspect of this application provides a cooking apparatus, including: a pot and a feeding assembly as described in the second aspect.

[0019] The feeding drive mechanism, feeding assembly, and cooking device provided in this application embodiment include a feeding drive mechanism comprising a drive unit and a transmission unit. The transmission unit includes output components and a clutch mechanism. The output components are arranged in pairs relative to the drive unit and connected between the drive unit and the two output components via the clutch mechanism. When the clutch mechanism is in the first position, it drives the drive unit and one output component; when it is in the second position, it drives the drive unit and the other output component. Thus, by using a single drive unit, two output components can be driven to operate independently to feed seasonings from two containers when the clutch mechanism is in different positions. Compared to related technologies that require two drive units to drive two output components separately to feed solid seasonings from two containers, this simplifies the setup of a single drive unit, simplifies the overall structure of the feeding assembly, reduces manufacturing costs, and decreases the size of the feeding assembly, meeting the design requirements for a compact and small-volume feeding assembly, making it suitable for widespread application.

Detailed Implementation

[0043] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0045] The following reference Figures 1 to 19 This application describes a feeding drive mechanism 100, a feeding assembly 200, and a cooking device according to some embodiments. The feeding drive mechanism 100 is applied to the feeding assembly 200, which is applied to the cooking device, which may be a smart stir-fry machine or other kitchen equipment. The feeding assembly 200 can feed solid seasonings according to electronic recipes to improve the intelligence of the cooking device.

[0046] like Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown in the first aspect of this application, an embodiment of a feeding drive mechanism 100 is provided, including a drive unit 110 and a transmission unit 120. The transmission unit 120 includes two output members 130 arranged in pairs relative to the drive unit 110 and a clutch mechanism 140. The clutch mechanism 140 is connected between the drive unit 110 and the two output members 130. The clutch mechanism 140 includes a first gear and a second gear. In the first gear, the clutch mechanism 140 drives the drive unit 110 and one output member 130. In the second gear, the clutch mechanism 140 drives the drive unit 110 and the other output member 130.

[0047] The feeding drive mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment includes a drive unit 110 and a transmission unit 120. The transmission unit 120 includes an output component 130 and a clutch mechanism 140. The output components 130 are arranged in pairs relative to the drive unit 110, that is, one transmission unit 120 corresponds to two output components 130. The clutch mechanism 140 connects the drive unit 110 and the two output components 130. When the clutch mechanism 140 is in the first position, the clutch mechanism 140 drives the drive unit 110 and one output component 130, so that the drive unit 110 drives one output component 130 to operate, thereby feeding solid seasonings into the material box 210 connected to the output component 130. When the clutch mechanism 140 is in the second position, the clutch mechanism 140 drives the drive unit 110 and another output component 130, so that the drive unit 110 drives the other output component 130 to operate, thereby feeding solid seasonings into the material box 210 connected to the other output component 130. Therefore, by connecting the drive unit 110 and the two output units 130 through the clutch mechanism 140, the drive unit 110 can drive the two output units 130 to work separately when the clutch mechanism 140 is in different positions, so as to feed the seasonings into the two material boxes 210. Compared with the related technology, which requires two drive units to drive the two output units to work separately to feed the solid seasonings into the two material boxes, the setting of one drive unit is simplified. This is beneficial to simplify the structure of the entire feeding assembly 200, reduce the manufacturing cost of the feeding assembly 200, and reduce the volume of the feeding assembly 200, so as to meet the design requirements of the feeding assembly 200 being compact and small in size, and suitable for widespread application.

[0048] The drive unit 110 can be an electric drive, pneumatic drive, hydraulic drive, or other structures. Specifically, the drive unit 110 can be a motor.

[0049] The clutch mechanism 140 drives the drive unit 110 and the output unit 130. The clutch mechanism 140 can be directly connected to the drive unit 110 to achieve power transmission, or the clutch mechanism 140 can be indirectly connected to the drive unit 110 through other transmission elements to achieve power transmission. The clutch mechanism 140 can be directly connected to the output unit 130 to achieve power transmission, or the clutch mechanism 140 can be indirectly connected to the output unit 130 through other transmission elements to achieve power transmission.

[0050] Among them, the two output components 130 arranged in pairs relative to the drive unit 110 can have the same structure or different structures. The two output components 130 with the same structure can be mass-produced, while the two output components 130 with different structures have a wider range of applications.

[0051] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the clutch mechanism 140 includes: two transmission wheels 150 corresponding to the two output members 130, the two transmission wheels 150 being drivenly connected, one of which is connected to the drive unit 110; and a clutch element 160, which is movably disposed between the corresponding transmission wheel 150 and the output member 130. That is, the clutch mechanism 140 includes two transmission wheels 150 corresponding to the two output members 130, and two clutch elements 160, with a one-to-one correspondence between the transmission wheels 150, clutch elements 160, and output members 130. The two transmission wheels 150 are drivenly connected, and each clutch element 160 is movably disposed between the corresponding transmission wheel 150 and the output member 130.

[0052] The same transmission wheel 150 can rotate in opposite directions to drive the clutch 160, thus engaging and disengaging the clutch 160 from the same output component 130. Specifically, if either transmission wheel 150 rotates in the first direction, it can drive the clutch 160 to engage with the corresponding output component 130 for power transmission; if it rotates in the second direction, it can disengage the clutch 160 from the corresponding output component 130, preventing power transmission. One of the first and second directions can be understood as counterclockwise, and the other as clockwise. It is understood that during the process of engaging both clutches 160 with their corresponding output components 130, the rotation directions of the two transmission wheels 150 can be the same or different.

[0053] The drive unit 110 rotates, driving two clutches 160 to be in an engaged and disengaged state respectively via two transmission wheels 150. Since the two transmission wheels 150 are connected, with one connected to the drive unit 110, the rotation of the drive unit 110 drives the other transmission wheel 150 to rotate, which in turn drives the two clutches 160 corresponding to the two transmission wheels 150 to rotate, thus driving the two clutches 160 to be in an engaged and disengaged state respectively. This allows the clutch 160 in the engaged state to transmit power from the drive unit 110 to the corresponding output component 130, thereby feeding solid seasonings into the corresponding material container 210. Conversely, the clutch 160 in the engaged state cannot transmit power from the drive unit 110 to the corresponding output component 130, thus preventing the feeding of solid seasonings into the corresponding material container 210. In other words, the drive unit 110 can transmit power to an output unit 130 at the same time through the clutch mechanism 140, thereby enabling the feeding of solid seasonings into a material box 210.

[0054] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the drive unit 110 switches the drive direction and can drive each clutch element 160 to switch states so that the clutch mechanism 140 switches between the first gear and the second gear.

[0055] Therefore, by changing the direction of the drive unit 110, the clutch 160, which was originally engaged with the output component 130, can be driven to switch to a disengaged state, and the clutch 160, which was originally disengaged from the output component 130, can be driven to switch to an engaged state, thereby realizing the switching of the clutch mechanism 140 between the first and second gears, and thus realizing the feeding of solid seasonings into the other hopper 210. In other words, at different times, such as when the clutch mechanism 140 is in the first and second gears respectively, the drive unit 110 can transmit power to the two output components 130 respectively through the clutch mechanism 140, thereby realizing the feeding of solid seasonings into the two hoppers 210.

[0056] The feeding drive mechanism 100 provided in this embodiment can change the state of the two clutches 160 in the clutch mechanism 140 by switching the rotation direction of the drive unit 110, such as switching the motor to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. This allows the power of the drive unit 110 to be transmitted to the two output units 130 respectively, so as to realize the feeding of solid seasonings in the two material boxes. The structure is simple and easy to operate. It can reduce the volume of the feeding assembly 200, meet the design requirements of the feeding assembly 200 to be compact and small in size, and reduce the manufacturing cost of the feeding assembly 200.

[0057] Specifically, the two transmission wheels 150 can be gear structures, such as transmission wheels 150 having a first tooth 153, the first teeth 153 of the two transmission wheels 150 meshing with each other, which can realize the interconnection of the two transmission wheels 150.

[0058] Alternatively, the two drive pulleys 150 can be connected via a synchronous belt drive. It is understood that the two drive pulleys 150 can also be connected in other ways, and this application does not specifically limit this. For example, Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the two transmission wheels 150 of this application are connected by meshing of the first tooth 153.

[0059] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the end of the transmission wheel 150 away from the drive unit 110 is provided with a first transmission structure 151, the output member 130 is provided with a first engagement portion 131, and the two ends of the clutch member 160 are respectively provided with a second transmission structure 161 and a second engagement portion 162. The first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161 cooperate with each other and can move relative to each other. The relative positions of the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161 include a first position and a second position. When in the first position, the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 are in a separated state, and when in the second position, the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 are in a engaged state.

[0060] In this embodiment, by reasonably arranging the structure of the transmission wheel 150, the output component 130, and the clutch component 160, the transmission wheel 150 rotates, and the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161, which cooperate with each other, can drive the clutch component 160 to move. When the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch component 160 moves to the first position relative to the first transmission structure 151, the second engagement portion 162 of the clutch component 160 and the first engagement portion 131 of the output component 130 are in a separated state, so that the clutch component 160 and the output component 130 are in a separated state. When the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch component 160 moves to the second position relative to the first transmission structure 151, the second engagement portion 162 of the clutch component 160 and the first engagement portion 131 of the output component 130 are in a engaged state, so that the clutch component 160 and the output component 130 are in an engaged state. Therefore, by rotating the transmission wheel 150, the relative positions of the second transmission structure 161 and the first transmission structure 151 are switched, thereby realizing the switching between the clutch 160 and the corresponding output component 130 in the clutch state and the engagement state. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and convenient to operate.

[0061] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, one of the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161 is a convex portion and the other is a concave portion. The concave portion includes a first end face 1611 and a second end face 1612 disposed along the relative movement direction of the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 1611, and a connecting surface 1613 connecting the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612. The height of the first end face 1611 is less than the height of the second end face 1612. The convex portion abuts against the connecting surface 1613 and can move along the connecting surface 1613 within the concave portion. When the convex portion contacts the first end face 1611, the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161 are in a second position; when the convex portion contacts the second end face 1612, the first transmission structure 151 and the second transmission structure 161 are in a first position. The height of the first end face 1611 and the height of the second end face 1612 can be understood as the height of the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 along the relative movement direction of the second end face 1611 and the second end face 1612. Figure 8 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 The dimension in the Z direction shown by the arrow.

[0062] Since the height of the first end face 1611 is less than the height of the second end face 1612, the connecting surface 1613 connecting the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 includes at least an inclined surface. To ensure that the protrusion can move along the connecting surface 1613 within the recess, the height of the protrusion should be greater than the height of the first end face 1611, or the height of the protrusion should be greater than or equal to the height of the second end face 1612. Therefore, when the protrusion moves along the connecting surface 1613 from the second end face 1612 toward the first end face 1611, the protrusion will push the clutch 160 away from the drive portion 110, bringing the clutch 160 closer to the first engagement portion 131. Thus, when the protrusion contacts the first end face 1611, the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 can be engaged, placing them in the first position. When the protrusion moves along the connecting surface 1613 from the first end face 1611 to the second end face 1612, since the height of the second end face 1612 is greater than the height of the first end face 1611, the clutch 160 will fall back towards the drive part 110, causing the clutch 160 to move away from the first engagement part 131, thereby causing the first engagement part 131 and the second engagement part 162 to be in a separated state, and the two to be in the first position.

[0063] The protrusion can be provided on the transmission wheel 150, and the concave part can be provided on the clutch 160, or the protrusion can be provided on the clutch 160, and the concave part can be provided on the transmission wheel 150.

[0064] Specifically, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the protrusion can be provided on the transmission wheel 150, and the recess can be provided on the clutch member 160. Specifically, the clutch member 160 includes a mounting end face 163 facing the drive unit 110, and the recess is formed on the third mounting end face 163.

[0065] like Figure 15 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the height difference between the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 is greater than or equal to the maximum gap width between the first joint 131 and the second joint 162.

[0066] The height difference between the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 can be as follows: Figure 15 As shown in D, the maximum gap width between the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 can be as follows: Figure 15 As shown in H, when the protrusion contacts the second end face 1612, the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 are in a separated state, and the gap width between the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 can be understood as the maximum.

[0067] In this embodiment, the height difference between the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 is greater than or equal to the maximum gap width between the first joint 131 and the second joint 162. This ensures that the clutch 160 and the output member 130 can engage smoothly, and avoids the situation where the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 cannot engage.

[0068] It is understandable that when the height difference between the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 is equal to the maximum gap width between the first joint portion 131 and the second joint portion 162, the first transmission part 120 abuts against the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 respectively when the clutch member 160 and the output member 130 are in the engaged and disengaged states. It is also understandable that when the height difference between the first end face 1611 and the second end face 1612 is greater than the maximum gap width between the first joint portion 131 and the second joint portion 162, when the clutch member 160 and the output member 130 are in the engaged state, the first transmission part 120 may be located in the middle part of the connecting surface 1613; that is, the first transmission part 120 only needs to reach a portion of the connecting surface 1613, and the first transmission part 120 may not abut against the first end face 1611. Alternatively, when the clutch 160 and the output 130 are in a disengaged state, the first transmission part 120 may be located in the middle part of the connecting surface 1613, that is, the first transmission part 120 only needs to go to a part of the connecting surface 1613, and the first transmission part 120 may not abut against the second end face 1612.

[0069] like Figure 2 , Figure 3, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 include meshing teeth. Power is transmitted through the meshing teeth, which helps to improve transmission accuracy and reliability. At the same time, the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 can be separated by separating the teeth, which is simple to operate and easy to implement. Furthermore, the teeth are easy to process and implement.

[0070] It is understood that the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 may also include an adsorption part and a magnetic attraction part that are magnetically connected. Power is transmitted through the mutually attracted adsorption part and magnetic attraction part, which helps to improve transmission accuracy and reliability. At the same time, the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 can be separated by separating the adsorption part and the magnetic attraction part, which is simple to operate and easy to implement.

[0071] like Figure 15 As shown, in the above embodiment, when the first joint 131 and the second joint 162 include meshing teeth, the teeth include a first inclined surface 1311 and a second inclined surface 1312 extending from the tooth tip to both sides along the rotation direction. The length of the first inclined surface 1311 is greater than that of the second inclined surface 1312, and the inclination direction of the first inclined surface 1311 is opposite to the inclination direction of the connecting surface 1613.

[0072] This configuration allows for spur-side drive of the teeth, resulting in better force distribution and extending the service life of the teeth. This, in turn, improves the reliability of the clutch 160 and output component 130, thus enhancing the reliability of the feeding drive mechanism 100. Simultaneously, as... Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the inclination direction of the first inclined surface 1311 is opposite to the inclination direction of the connecting surface 1613, so that during the movement of the clutch 160 relative to the protrusion of the transmission wheel 150 along the connecting surface 1613 from the second end face 1612 to the first end face 1611, the clutch 160 will move towards the first engagement portion 131, that is, the clutch 160 will move upward and gradually approach the first engagement portion 131 so that the first engagement portion 131 and the second engagement portion 162 are engaged, so that the clutch 160 and the output component 130 are in an engaged state.

[0073] It is understandable that, in other examples, the lengths of the first inclined plane 1311 and the second inclined plane 1312 on both sides of the tooth may also be equal.

[0074] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 15As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the output component 130 includes a first guide post 132, a first engaging portion 131 disposed on the periphery of the first guide post 132, and a clutch component 160 movably sleeved on the outside of the first guide post 132. The arrangement of the first guide post 132 provides good guidance for the movement of the clutch component 160 relative to the output component 130, and thus provides good guidance for the relative movement of the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch component 160 and the first transmission structure 151 of the transmission wheel 150. This helps to improve the reliability and accuracy of the relative movement of the second transmission structure 161 and the first transmission structure 151, thereby improving the accuracy of the switching between the clutch component 160 and the output component 130 in the engagement and disengagement states, and improving the feeding accuracy. Meanwhile, the first engagement portion 131 is disposed on the periphery of the first guide post 132, so that the second engagement portion 162 of the clutch member 160 can be conveniently engaged or disengaged from the first engagement portion 131, further ensuring the accurate switching between the clutch member 160 and the output member 130 in the engagement and disengagement states.

[0075] like Figure 5 As shown, in the above embodiments, the number of first transmission structures 151 is one or at least two, such as one, two, three, or other numbers of first transmission structures 151.

[0076] Among them, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, at least two first transmission structures 151 are distributed around the first guide post 132 to limit the movement of the first guide post 132 relative to the transmission wheel 150.

[0077] When the clutch 160 and the output member 130 are engaged, the power of the drive unit 110 is transmitted to the output member 130, causing the output member 130 to rotate relative to the transmission wheel 150. By distributing at least two first transmission structures 151 around the first guide post 132, the at least two first transmission structures 151 form a limit in the circumferential direction of the first guide post 132, thereby limiting the movement of the first guide post 132 relative to the transmission wheel 150, thus limiting the rotation of the output member 130 relative to the transmission wheel 150, improving the smoothness of the movement of the output member 130, and thus improving the feeding accuracy. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 As shown, there are two first transmission structures 151, which are distributed on opposite sides of the first guide post 132.

[0078] Furthermore, since the clutch 160 is sleeved on the periphery of the first guide post 132, and the first engagement portion 131 is distributed on the periphery of the first guide post 132, the clutch 160 is sandwiched between the first engagement portion 131 and the transmission wheel 150. Thus, the first engagement portion 131 can limit the movement of the clutch 160 relative to the transmission wheel 150, so that the clutch 160 can move relative to the transmission wheel 150 and smoothly engage or disengage with the first engagement portion 131, thereby realizing the switching between the engagement state and the disengagement state of the clutch 160 and the output member 130, and avoiding the situation where the clutch 160 disengages from the output member 130 and cannot smoothly engage with the output member 130.

[0079] like Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, it can be understood that by cooperating with other components, such as the housing 170 and cover plate 180 mentioned below, the first joint 131 and the cover plate 180 cooperate, with the first joint 131 abutting against the inside of the cover plate 180, thus limiting the movement of the first guide post 132 relative to the transmission wheel 150. Specifically, after the cover and housing 170 are connected, the cover plate 180 presses the first joint 131 and positions the first joint 131 below the cover. In this way, the movement of the first guide post 132 relative to the transmission wheel 150 can be limited, thereby limiting the rotation of the output member 130 relative to the transmission wheel 150, improving the stability and reliability of the movement of the output member 130, and thus improving the feeding accuracy of solid seasonings.

[0080] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the feeding drive mechanism 100 further includes a housing 170 and a cover plate 180. The drive unit 110, clutch mechanism 140, and output component 130 are located within the space enclosed by the housing 170 and the cover plate 180. Thus, the housing 170 and the cover plate 180 provide good protection for the drive unit 110, clutch mechanism 140, and output component 130, which helps to extend the service life of the drive unit 110, clutch mechanism 140, and output component 130 and improve the reliability of the feeding drive mechanism 100.

[0081] The output component 130 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 180. The output component 130 is provided with an output section 134, and the cover plate 180 is provided with a clearance opening 181 for avoiding the output section 134. Thus, the output section 134 of the output component 130 is connected to other components of the feeding assembly 200 through the clearance opening 181, such as the discharge mechanism 220 that connects to the material box 210 in the feeding assembly 200. This causes the drive unit 110 to work, driving the output component 130 to rotate relative to the cover plate 180 through the transmission wheel 150 and the clutch 160, so as to realize the feeding of solid seasonings in the material box 210 through the discharge mechanism 220.

[0082] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the output member 130 further includes a limiting structure 133, which is engaged at the clearance opening 181. Thus, by cooperating with the clearance opening 181 of the cover plate 180, the movement of the output member 130 relative to the cover plate 180 can be limited. Specifically, the cooperation between the limiting structure 133 and the clearance opening 181 of the cover plate 180 can limit the movement of the output member 130 along the rotation axis, ensuring that the output member 130 can be reliably engaged inside the cover plate 180 and reducing the jump of the output member 130 in the rotation axis direction. This allows the output member 130 to rotate smoothly relative to the cover plate 180, transmitting power to the discharge mechanism 220 through the output section 134 and improving feeding accuracy.

[0083] Specifically, the limiting structure 133 can be a stepped structure, a protruding structure, or other structures.

[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 13 As shown, in the above embodiment, the output part 134 is located at the end of the limiting structure 133 away from the driving part 110, and the output part 134 is opposite to the clearance port 181 so that the discharge mechanism 220 can be connected to the output part 134 through the clearance port 181.

[0085] Specifically, the output section 134 can be a connecting shaft, a hole structure, or other connecting structure. For example... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the output part 134 has a hole structure. The hole wall of the hole structure is provided with a concave part and / or a convex part. The concave part and / or the convex part are used to limit the connection with the discharge mechanism 220 to realize the transmission of power. The structure is simple, easy to process and easy to implement.

[0086] like Figure 11As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the end of the housing 170 is provided with an opening 174 that mates with the cover plate 180. The drive unit 110, the clutch mechanism 140, and the output member 130 can be installed inside the housing 170 through the opening 174. The housing 170 is provided with a first receiving compartment 171 and a second receiving compartment 172 that are connected to each other. Facing the opening 174, the drive unit 110, the transmission wheel 150 connected to the drive unit 110, the corresponding clutch member 160, and the output member 130 are sequentially received in the first receiving compartment 171, and the other transmission wheel 150, the corresponding clutch member 160, and the output member 130 are received in the second receiving compartment 172. In other words, both the first receiving chamber 171 and the second receiving chamber 172 are connected to the opening 174. Correspondingly, the two sets of output components 130, clutch components 160, and transmission wheels 150 are respectively arranged within the first receiving chamber 171 and the second receiving chamber 172. The drive unit 110 is arranged within the first receiving chamber 171. Since the first receiving chamber 171 and the second receiving chamber 172 are connected, the connection of the two transmission wheels 150 can be achieved. The direction towards the opening 174 of the housing 170 can be understood as... Figure 15 and Figure 16 The direction indicated by arrow Z.

[0087] like Figure 11 As shown, in the above embodiment, the exterior of the housing 170 is configured as a stepped structure 173. The stepped structure 173 includes a first step 1731 and a second step 1732 opposite to the opening 174. The height of the first step 1731 is greater than the height of the second step 1732. The height of the first step 1731 can be understood as the distance between the first step 1731 and the plane containing the opening 174, and the height of the second step 1732 can be understood as the distance between the second step 1732 and the plane containing the opening 174. The first receiving compartment 171 is located between the first step 1731 and the opening 174, and the second receiving compartment 172 is located between the second step 1732 and the opening 174. This arrangement ensures that the volume of the first receiving chamber 171 is larger than that of the second receiving chamber 172, and the volumes of the first and second receiving chambers 171 and 172 are reasonably balanced, effectively accommodating the drive unit 110, clutch mechanism 140, and output component 130. Furthermore, the internal components of the first and second receiving chambers 171 and 172 are compact, with minimal remaining space. Thus, by designing the housing 170 as a stepped structure, its volume is reduced, material usage decreases, costs are lower, and the space occupied by the housing 170 is minimized. This satisfies the design requirements of a compact and small-sized feeding drive mechanism 100, thereby expanding its application range.

[0088] like Figure 11As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, a partition 1713 is provided inside the first receiving compartment 171 to divide the first receiving compartment 171 into a first sub-compartment 1711 and a second sub-compartment 1712. The drive unit 110 is confined and installed in the first sub-compartment 1711, and the transmission wheel 150, the corresponding clutch 160, and the output unit 130 are accommodated in the second sub-compartment 1712. This allows the drive unit 110 to be reliably and stably installed in the first sub-compartment 1711, reducing the possibility of the drive unit 110 shaking and improving the stability of the drive unit 110's operation. The drive unit 110 can be confined and installed inside the first sub-compartment 1711 by means of bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, magnetic structure, welding, bonding, etc.

[0089] Among them, such as Figure 1 , Figure 11 and Figure 15 As shown, the drive unit 110 includes an output shaft 111, which passes through a partition 1713 and connects to a transmission wheel 150. Thus, the power of the drive unit 110 is transmitted to the transmission wheel 150 via the output shaft 111, and then selectively transmitted to an output component 130 via two clutches 160 of the clutch mechanism 140, thereby feeding solid seasonings into the corresponding material box 210. The partition provides good protection for the drive unit 110, further reducing contamination from impurities, dust, and foreign objects, and thus extending the service life of the drive unit 110.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission wheel 150 has a connecting hole 152 for connecting to the output shaft 111. The side wall of the connecting hole 152 has a limiting surface corresponding to the output shaft 111 to limit the rotation of the output shaft 111 relative to the connecting hole 152. Specifically, the limiting surface can be a planar structure, such as a D-shaped hole or a flat hole for the connecting hole 152, and a D-shaped shaft or a flat shaft for the output shaft 111. This allows the output shaft 111 to rotate, driving the transmission wheel 150 to rotate, thus transmitting power. D-shaped holes or flat holes, and D-shaped shafts or flat shafts have simple structures, are easy to process, and are readily achievable. It is understood that the limiting surface can also be a curved surface, an inclined surface, or other structures.

[0091] like Figure 17 and Figure 18As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, there are two drive units 110, and two first receiving chambers 171 are located between two second receiving chambers 172. It can be understood that the two drive units 110 correspond to four output components 130, thereby enabling the feeding of solid seasonings from the four material boxes 210. Compared with related technologies that require four drive units to feed solid seasonings from the four material boxes respectively, this significantly reduces the number of drive units 110, greatly lowers product cost and size, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0092] Among them, such as Figure 17 As shown, two first receiving chambers 171 are located between two second receiving chambers 172. Since the volume of the first receiving chamber 171 is larger than the volume of the second receiving chamber 172, arranging the two larger first receiving chambers 171 between the two smaller second receiving chambers 172 makes the entire shell 170 roughly have a shape that is high in the middle and low on both sides. That is, the two sides of the outer wall of the shell 170 are set as a stepped structure, which can greatly reduce the space occupied by the shell 170, meet the design requirements of the feeding drive mechanism 100 to be compact and small in size, and reduce the space occupied by the entire feeding assembly 200.

[0093] It is understandable that the drive unit 110 of the feeding drive mechanism 100 can also be three, four, five, or other numbers, which can correspondingly enable the feeding operation of the drive unit 110 to double the number of material boxes 210.

[0094] In specific examples, such as Figure 17 As shown, the assembly process of the feeding drive mechanism 100 is as follows:

[0095] The output shaft 111 of the drive unit 110 is inserted into the connecting hole 152 of a transmission wheel 150, and the shoulder 1111 of the output shaft 111 is made to fit against the second mounting end face 155 of the transmission wheel 150. The output shaft 111 and the connecting hole 152 are interference-fitted, or they can be radially fastened to restrict the axial transmission of the output shaft 111 and the transmission wheel 150. Thus, the assembly of the drive unit 110 and the transmission wheel 150 is completed.

[0096] Next, the assembly of the drive unit 110 and the transmission wheel 150 is placed into the first receiving compartment 171 of the housing 170. The outer wall 112 of the drive unit 110 mates with the inner wall of the first sub-compartment 1711 of the first receiving compartment 171. The bottom wall 113 of the drive unit 110 mates with the sixth assembly end face 177 of the first receiving compartment 171. The second assembly end face 155 of the transmission wheel 150 mates with the fifth assembly end face 176 of the second sub-compartment 1712. Thus, the pre-assembly of the drive unit 110, the assembly of one transmission wheel 150, and the housing 170 is completed.

[0097] Then, the first guide post 132 of the output component 130 is fitted into the inner wall 164 of the clutch component 160 with a clearance fit, allowing them to rotate relative to each other. The clutch component 160 and the output component 130 are pre-assembled. The pre-assembled clutch component 160, output component 130, and transmission wheel 150 are then assembled, with the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch component 160 inserted into the first transmission structure 151, and the first mounting end face 154 of the transmission wheel 150 abutting against the fourth mounting end face 135 of the output component 130. The cover plate 180 is then placed on top, its outline fitting into the cover plate groove 175 on the housing 170. The cover plate 180 and the housing 170 can be connected by snaps, screws, glue, welding, or other methods. After the cover plate 180 and the housing 170 are assembled, the bottom surface of the cover plate 180 fits against the bottom of the cover plate groove 175 of the housing 170; at the same time, the bottom surface of the cover plate 180 can limit the limiting structure 133 of the output component 130, and the clearance on the cover plate 180 can also limit the limiting structure 133 of the output component 130. Thus, the assembly of the drive unit 110, an output wheel, a clutch 160, an output component 130, and the cover plate 180 is completed.

[0098] Similarly, the pre-assembled bodies of another drive wheel 150, another clutch 160, and another output component 130 are installed into the second receiving compartment 172 of the housing 170, and the drive wheels 150 of the first receiving compartment 171 and the second receiving compartment 172 are made to mesh with each other. After the cover plate 180 is assembled with the housing 170, the bottom surface of the cover plate 180 is in contact with the bottom of the cover plate groove 175 of the housing 170; the bottom surface of the cover plate 180 limits the limiting structure 133 of the output component 130, and at the same time, the clearance on the cover plate 180 also limits the limiting structure 133 of the output component 130. Thus, the first teeth 153 of the drive wheels 150 in the first receiving compartment 171 and the second receiving compartment 172 mesh with each other, so that the drive unit 110 in the first receiving compartment 171 can drive the drive wheel 150 in the first receiving compartment 171 to rotate, thereby driving the drive wheel 150 in the second receiving compartment 172 to rotate.

[0099] like Figure 15 As shown, the drive unit 110 rotates clockwise, as clockwise... Figure 15As indicated by arrow P, the first transmission structure 151 on the transmission wheel 150 in the first receiving chamber 171 will rotate within the second transmission structure 161 in the first receiving chamber 171. When the first transmission structure 151 rotates to the contact limit with the first end face 1611, the second engagement portion 162 on the clutch 160 in the first receiving chamber 171 will engage with the first engagement portion 131 on the output component 130 in the first receiving chamber 171, such as two teeth meshing, thereby driving the output component 130 in the first receiving chamber 171 to rotate. The output portion 134 of the output component 130 is connected to the discharge mechanism 220 of the connecting material box 210 to realize the feeding operation of the solid seasoning in the corresponding material box 210. At this time, the first transmission structure 151 on the transmission wheel 150 in the second receiving chamber 172 will rotate within the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch 160 in the second receiving chamber 172, and the first transmission structure 151 will rotate to contact the second end face 1612 to limit the contact, so that the second engagement portion 162 on the clutch 160 in the second receiving chamber 172 will separate from the first engagement portion 131 on the output component 130 in the second receiving chamber 172, and the output component 130 in the second receiving chamber 172 will not rotate and will not perform feeding operation.

[0100] like Figure 16 As shown, similarly, the drive unit 110 rotates counterclockwise, as shown in the diagram. Figure 16 As indicated by arrow Q, the first transmission structure 151 on the transmission wheel 150 in the first receiving chamber 171 will rotate within the second transmission structure 161 in the first receiving chamber 171. When the first transmission structure 151 rotates to the limit of contact with the second end face 1612, the second engagement portion 162 on the clutch 160 in the first receiving chamber 171 will separate from the first engagement portion 131 on the output component 130 in the first receiving chamber 171. If the two teeth disengage, the output component 130 in the first receiving chamber 171 will not rotate, and the feeding operation cannot be realized. At this time, the first transmission structure 151 on the transmission wheel 150 in the second receiving chamber 172 will rotate within the second transmission structure 161 of the clutch 160 in the second receiving chamber 172, and the first transmission structure 151 will rotate to contact the first end face 1611 to limit the movement, so that the second engagement portion 162 on the clutch 160 in the second receiving chamber 172 will engage with the first engagement portion 131 on the output component 130 in the second receiving chamber 172, such as two teeth meshing, thereby driving the output component 130 in the second receiving chamber 172 to rotate. The output portion 134 of the output component 130 is connected to the discharge mechanism 220 of the connecting material box 210 to realize the feeding operation of the solid seasoning in the corresponding material box 210.

[0101] like Figure 19As shown in the second aspect of this application, an embodiment provides a feeding assembly 200, including: a material box 210, a discharging mechanism 220, and a feeding drive mechanism 100 of any embodiment in the first aspect. The material box 210 corresponds to the output component 130, and the discharging mechanism 220 connects the material box 210 and the corresponding output component 130. Since the feeding assembly 200 includes the feeding drive mechanism 100 provided in any of the foregoing embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the aforementioned feeding drive mechanism 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0102] The material box 210 is used to hold solid seasonings. The number of material boxes 210 and output components 130 is relative, that is, each output component 130 corresponds to one material box 210. The discharging mechanism 220 is connected to the corresponding material box 210 and the output component 130. Thus, the drive unit 110 of the feeding drive mechanism 100 works. Through different output components 130, the discharging mechanism 220 connected to it can be driven to move, thereby realizing the feeding of solid seasonings in the corresponding material box 210. It is simple to operate, convenient to use, and simplifies the setting of the drive unit, which helps to reduce manufacturing costs and can meet the design requirements of simple structure and small size of the feeding component 200.

[0103] An embodiment of the third aspect of this application provides a cooking apparatus, including: a pot and a feeding assembly 200 of the second aspect. Since the pot includes the feeding assembly 200 of any of the foregoing embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the aforementioned feeding assembly 200, which will not be described in detail here.

[0104] The feeding component 200 is in operation and can deliver solid seasonings from the seasoning box 210 into the interior of the pot to deliver solid seasonings, thereby improving the intelligence of the cooking equipment.
