DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0062] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of the present application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on the present application.

[0063] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "up", "down", "top", "bottom", orientation or position relationship is based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0064] In the related art, the feeding device of the cooking machine clamps the material box and turns the material box over to put the ingredients for cooking in the material box into the pot. The action of the feeding device of the cooking machine clamping the material box and the action of the feeding device turning the material box are realized by different driving mechanisms performing different actions respectively. The feeding device has a complex structure, and different actions need to be performed in the process of clamping the material box and turning it over, and the feeding process is complicated.

[0065] In view of this, the present application embodiment provides a cooking machine, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking machine includes a frame 300, a pot, a stirring module and a main feeding module. The pot is installed on the frame 300, and the pot is used to cook food. The stirring module is installed on the frame 300, and the stirring module is used to stir-fry the food in the pot. The main feeding module is installed on the frame 300, and the main feeding module includes a material box 200 and a feeding device 100. The feeding device 100 is used to pour the food in the material box 200 into the pot, and the material box 200 can be placed on the frame 300.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the ingredients required for cooking in the material box 200 placed on the frame 300 are poured into the inner pot through the feeding device 100, and the ingredients fed into the inner pot by the feeding device 100 are stir-fried through the stirring module, thereby completing the cooking process.

[0067] For example, the pot core is a pot used for cooking.

[0068] Exemplarily, the stirring module includes a power source installed on the frame 300 and a spatula driven by the power source, and the spatula is driven by the power source to stir-fry the ingredients in the pot.

[0069] The present application embodiment provides a feeding device 100, see Figure 1 to Figure 7 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 , Fig.17 and Fig.19 The feeding device 100 includes a mounting seat 1, a rotating shaft 2, a first clamping assembly 3, a second clamping assembly 4, a potential energy converter 5 and a driving assembly 6. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 1. The first clamping assembly 3 is mounted on the rotating shaft 2 to rotate with the rotating shaft 2. The second clamping assembly 4 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and the second clamping assembly 4 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2. The potential energy converter 5 is connected to the mounting seat 1 and the second clamping assembly 4 respectively. The driving assembly 6 is mounted on the mounting seat 1, and the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate along a first direction to clamp the material box 200 between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 and flip the material box 200 to throw the food on the material box 200, so that the potential energy converter 5 accumulates potential energy, and the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate along a second direction opposite to the first direction, so that the second clamping assembly 4 is reset under the action of the potential energy accumulated by the potential energy converter 5.

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate in the first direction, and the rotating shaft 2 rotating in the first direction drives the first clamping assembly 3 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 2. Since the second clamping assembly 4 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2, the first clamping assembly 3 rotating in the first direction driven by the rotating shaft 2 gradually approaches the second clamping assembly 4, thereby clamping the material box 200 between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4. When the material box 200 is clamped by the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4, the driving assembly 6 continues to drive the rotating shaft 2 to drive the first clamping assembly 3 to rotate in the first direction, so that the material box 200 and the second clamping assembly 4 rotate along the first direction following the first clamping assembly 3 under the push of the first clamping assembly 3, thereby realizing the flipping of the material box 200. By driving the rotating shaft 2 through the driving component 6 to drive the first clamping component 3 to rotate, the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 can not only clamp the material box 200, but also flip the material box 200 by the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4, thereby simplifying the feeding process of the feeding device 100. The clamping and flipping of the material box 200 are both completed by the driving component 6 driving the rotating shaft 2, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the feeding device 100. The driving component 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to drive the first clamping component 3 to rotate in the second direction, and the potential energy released by the potential energy converter 5 is used to reset the second clamping component 4, so that the driving component 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to drive the first clamping component 3 to repeatedly clamp and flip the material box 200.

[0071] Exemplarily, the driving assembly 6 is used to drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate along the first direction to pour the food in the material box 200 into the pot.

[0072] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 are both located on the side of the mounting seat 1 away from the driving assembly 6 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0073] Exemplarily, the driving component 6 may be a motor or a rotary cylinder.

[0074] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 14 to Figure 17 ,as well as Fig.19 , the first direction is the direction indicated by the arrow R1 in the figure.

[0075] For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 14 to Figure 17 ,as well as Fig.19 , the second direction is the direction indicated by arrow R2 in the figure.

[0076] For example, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 14 to 19When the second clamping assembly 4 is in the initial position, a certain distance is maintained between the second clamping assembly 4 and the material box 200 so that the material box 200 can be stably placed on the frame 300 . When the first clamping assembly 3 rotates along the first direction driven by the rotating shaft 2, the first clamping assembly 3 drives the material box 200 to move a certain distance so that the material box 200 is respectively in contact with the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 to clamp the material box 200, and continues to drive the first clamping assembly 3 to rotate along the first direction through the rotating shaft 2 to flip the material box 200 to pour out the food in the material box 200. After the material box 200 is flipped over and the food is poured out, the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate along the second direction, and the second clamping assembly 4 rotates along the second direction under the action of the potential energy released by the potential energy converter 5. In this process, the material box 200 is always clamped by the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 until the second clamping assembly 4 is reset to the initial position, and the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to continue to rotate along the second direction, so that the material box 200 is separated from the second clamping assembly 4 and placed on the frame 300 more stably.

[0077] For example, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 14 to 19 When the second clamping assembly 4 is located at the initial position, the second clamping assembly 4 is located above the first clamping assembly 3 .

[0078] For example, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 14 to 19 When the material box 200 is placed on the frame 300 , the second clamping assembly 4 located at the initial position is spaced apart from the material box 200 .

[0079] For example, see Figure 1 ,as well as Figures 14 to 19 , the mounting base 1 is connected to the frame 300 .

[0080] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 300 includes a tray 301 and a main frame 302. The tray 301 is movably arranged on the main frame 302, and the tray 301 is used to carry the material box 200. The pot is installed on the main frame 302, the stirring module is installed on the main frame 302, and the feeding device 100 is installed on the main frame 302.

[0081] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The tray 301 can move relative to the main frame 302 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2.

[0082] For example, see Figure 1 and Figure 2The tray 301 can be used to carry a plurality of material boxes 200 arranged in sequence along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the tray 301 can move relative to the main frame 302 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The plurality of material boxes 200 follow the tray 301 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 and move through the feeding device 100, so that the feeding device 100 can clamp and flip the corresponding material boxes 200.

[0083] Exemplarily, the cooking machine further includes a driving device for driving the tray 301 to move relative to the main frame 302 , and the driving device is installed on the main frame 302 .

[0084] In one embodiment, the potential energy converter 5 may be a spring or a tension spring.

[0085] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 to Figure 7 , the potential energy converter 5 can be a torsion spring.

[0086] In one embodiment, the potential energy converter 5 includes a first magnet connected to the second clamping assembly 4 and a second magnet connected to the mounting base 1. When the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate in the first direction so that the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 flip the material box 200, the second clamping assembly 4 drives the first magnet to move relative to the second magnet so that the same magnetic poles of the first magnet and the second magnet are close to each other to accumulate potential energy.

[0087] It is understandable that the potential energy accumulated by the first magnet and the second magnet can be released. When the driving assembly 6 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate along the second direction, the potential energy released between the first magnet and the second magnet pushes the second clamping assembly 4 to reset.

[0088] In the embodiment of the present application, potential energy and kinetic energy are converted by the first magnet and the second magnet. The force in the energy conversion process is mainly magnetic force, and the deformation produced by the potential energy converter 5 is less, which is beneficial to reducing fatigue damage of the potential energy converter 5.

[0089] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig.13 The rotating shaft 2 has a first shaft section 21, the first shaft section 21 is located at the end of the rotating shaft 2 away from the mounting seat 1, the first clamping assembly 3 is connected to the first shaft section 21 to rotate with the rotating shaft 2, and the second clamping assembly 4 is located along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 at the end of the first shaft section 21 facing the mounting seat 1.

[0090] In the embodiment of the present application, the first shaft section 21 is away from the mounting seat 1 relative to the second clamping component 4, which can reduce the obstruction of the space between the second clamping component 4 and the mounting seat 1 by the part of the first clamping component 3 installed on the first shaft section 21, and reduce the interference of the first clamping component 3 installed on the first shaft section 21 with the potential energy converter 5 installed between the second clamping component 4 and the mounting seat 1, so that the potential energy converter 5 can be more conveniently installed between the second clamping component 4 and the mounting seat 1.

[0091] It is understandable that the positions of the first shaft section 21 and the corresponding first clamping assembly 3 are not limited. Exemplarily, the first shaft section 21 is located at one end of the second clamping assembly 4 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 facing the mounting seat 1.

[0092] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.13 The first shaft segment 21 has a plurality of mounting surfaces 211 arranged along the circumference of the first shaft segment 21, at least one of the mounting surfaces 211 is a plane, the first clamping component 3 has a mounting hole 31, the first shaft segment 21 is penetrated by the mounting hole 31, and the hole wall surface of the mounting hole 31 is in contact with the mounting surface 211, so that the first clamping component 3 rotates with the rotating shaft 2.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present application, since at least one mounting surface 211 is a plane, and the hole wall surface of the mounting hole 31 is in contact with the mounting surface 211, the planar mounting surface 211 is in contact with the corresponding hole wall surface, which can inhibit the first clamping component 3 from rotating relative to the first shaft segment 21. Therefore, in the process of the driving component 6 driving the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, the first clamping component 3 rotates with the rotating shaft 2 driven by the first shaft segment 21.

[0094] For example, see Fig.13 In the figure, the number of mounting surfaces 211 is six, five of which are planes and one is an arc surface.

[0095] Exemplarily, among the multiple mounting surfaces 211 , one mounting surface 211 is a plane, and the remaining mounting surfaces 211 are curved surfaces.

[0096] Exemplarily, among the multiple installation surfaces 211 , one installation surface 211 may be a plane, or multiple installation surfaces 211 may be planes.

[0097] Exemplarily, all the mounting surfaces 211 may be planes, and the cross section of the first shaft segment 21 may be polygonal.

[0098] It should be noted that, in the present application, a plurality refers to two or more.

[0099] It is understandable that the specific structure of the first clamping assembly 3 rotating with the rotating shaft 2 is not limited. For example, the rotating shaft 2 may not be provided with the first shaft section 21 and the mounting surface 211 on the first shaft section 21 that fits the corresponding hole wall surface, and the rotating shaft 2 is key-connected with the first clamping assembly 3. For example, the rotating shaft 2 is key-connected or spline-connected with the first clamping assembly 3.

[0100] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 ,as well as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The second clamping assembly 4 includes a clamp 44, which is used to clamp the material box 200 together with the first clamping assembly 3. The clamp 44 clamps the material box 200 between the clamp 44 and the first clamping assembly 3 during rotation along the first direction and flips the material box 200 to pour the food in the material box 200 into the pot.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamp 44 is a main part of the second clamping assembly 4 for clamping the material box 200 , and the clamp 44 and the first clamping assembly 3 are used together to achieve clamping and flipping of the material box 200 .

[0102] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 The clamp 44 includes a connecting member 441 and a first clamping jaw 442 . The first clamping jaw 442 is connected to one end of the connecting member 441 away from the rotating shaft 2 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2 . The first clamping jaw 442 is located on the side of the connecting member 441 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 facing the mounting seat 1 .

[0103] In the embodiment of the present application, since the potential energy converter 5 is installed between the second clamping assembly 4 and the mounting seat 1, there is a part of space between the second clamping assembly 4 and the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 for arranging the potential energy converter 5, and the first clamping jaw 442 is located on the side of the connecting member 441 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 facing the mounting seat 1. The space between the connecting member 441 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 and the mounting seat 1 can be fully utilized to arrange the first clamping jaw 442, which is conducive to saving space and improving space utilization.

[0104] For example, see Fig.10 The connecting member 441 is in the shape of a plate, and the first clamping jaw 442 protrudes from the connecting member 441 in the shape of a plate along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 toward the mounting seat 1 .

[0105] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 ,as well as Fig. 9 The second clamping assembly 4 also includes an inner sleeve 41, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 2. The inner sleeve 41 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft 2. The end of the potential energy converter 5 facing away from the mounting seat 1 is installed on the inner sleeve 41, and the clamp 44 is connected to the inner sleeve 41.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, the inner sleeve 41 rotates relative to the shaft 2, and the clamp 44 connected to the inner sleeve 41 can rotate relative to the shaft 2. When the magazine 200 is out of contact with the clamp 44, the driving assembly 6 drives the shaft 2 to drive the first clamping assembly 3 to rotate, and the clamp 44 will not rotate with the shaft 2, so that the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 can repeatedly clamp and release the magazine 200. One end of the potential energy converter 5 is connected to the inner sleeve 41, and the potential energy converter 5 can accumulate or release potential energy during the rotation of the inner sleeve 41 relative to the mounting seat 1.

[0107] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 , the connecting piece 441 is connected to the inner sleeve 41.

[0108] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The second clamping assembly 4 further includes a limiting assembly 42 , which is mounted on the rotating shaft 2 to limit the position of the inner sleeve 41 relative to the rotating shaft 2 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the position of the inner sleeve 41 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is limited by the limiting assembly 42 to prevent the inner sleeve 41 from driving the clamp 44 to move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0110] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inner sleeve 41 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting assembly 42. The inner sleeve 41 can rotate relative to at least part of the structure of the limiting assembly 42.

[0111] For example, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The limiting assembly 42 includes a bearing 421 and a snap ring 422. The snap ring 422 located at one end of the bearing 421 away from the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is installed on the rotating shaft 2 and abuts against the inner ring of the bearing 421. The snap ring 422 located at one end of the bearing 421 facing the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is installed on the inner side of the inner sleeve 41 and abuts against the outer ring of the bearing 421. The snap ring 422 located at one end of the bearing 421 away from the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 and the corresponding shaft shoulder of the rotating shaft 2 limit the inner ring of the bearing 421 to prevent the bearing 421 from moving along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The snap ring 422 installed on the inner side of the inner sleeve 41 and the end stop of the inner sleeve 41 limit the position of the inner sleeve 41 relative to the bearing 421, thereby limiting the position of the inner sleeve 41 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 and preventing the inner sleeve 41 from moving along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The inner sleeve 41 is a seat for the bearing 421. The inner ring of the bearing 421 rotates with the rotating shaft 2, and the inner sleeve 41 is sleeved on the outer ring of the bearing 421.

[0112] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 4 to 6 The second clamping assembly 4 further includes an outer sleeve 43, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve 41, and the potential energy converter 5 is located between the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The clamp 44 is connected to the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 respectively.

[0113] It should be noted that the side of the inner sleeve 41 facing the rotating shaft 2 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is the inner side of the inner sleeve 41 , and the side of the inner sleeve 41 away from the rotating shaft 2 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is the outer side of the inner sleeve 41 .

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamp 44 is connected to the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 respectively, and the outer sleeve 43 sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve 41 is supported by the clamp 44. The potential energy converter 5 is located between the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43, and the outer sleeve 43 can shield the potential energy converter 5 connected between the inner sleeve 41 and the mounting seat 1 to a certain extent, reducing the possibility of the potential energy converter 5 being exposed.

[0115] For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The connecting piece 441 is connected to the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 respectively.

[0116] It is understandable that the specific structure of the second clamping assembly 4 is not limited. For example, the second clamping assembly 4 may not be provided with the inner sleeve 41, the stop assembly 42 and the outer sleeve 43, and may be rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 2 through the clamp 44, and the clamp 44 may be positioned along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 through the shaft shoulder of the rotating shaft 2, the first clamping assembly 3 and the corresponding shaft end baffle.

[0117] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The end of the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1 is connected to the clamp 44 .

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, the end of the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1 is connected to the clamp 44, and the clamp 44 is at least partially located at the end of the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1. The clamp 44 can shield the potential energy converter 5 from the end of the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1. The potential energy converter 5 is shielded by the mounting seat 1 at one end along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 toward the mounting seat 1, which helps to reduce the possibility of exposure of the potential energy converter 5.

[0119] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The inner sleeve 41 is formed with a first mounting groove 411, and the first mounting groove 411 has a first opening 4111 and a second opening 4112. The first opening 4111 is located on the side of the first mounting groove 411 away from the rotating shaft 2 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the second opening 4112 is located on the side of the first mounting groove 411 away from the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The first mounting groove 411 is closed at one end toward the mounting seat 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the potential energy converter 5 partially extends into the first mounting groove 411 through the first opening 4111 to connect the potential energy converter 5 with the inner sleeve 41, and the clamp 44 covers the second opening 4112.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the clamp 44 covers the second opening 4112, and the clamp 44 is detachably connected to the inner sleeve 41. During the installation process, the end of the potential energy converter 5 facing the inner sleeve 41 can be partially moved from the second opening 4112 into the first installation groove 411 when the clamp 44 opens the second opening 4112, and then the clamp 44 is covered on the second opening 4112 to block the second opening 4112. Since the first mounting groove 411 is closed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 toward one end of the mounting seat 1, the position of the portion of the potential energy converter 5 located in the first mounting groove 411 that moves toward the mounting seat 1 can be limited. Since the clamp 44 is covered on the second opening 4112, the clamp 44 can limit the portion of the potential energy converter 5 located in the first mounting groove 411 from moving away from the mounting seat 1. The end of the potential energy converter 5 away from the mounting seat 1 is constrained in the first mounting groove 411, and the position of the potential energy converter 5 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 is limited by the clamp 44 and the closed end of the first mounting groove 411, thereby reducing the axial movement of the potential energy converter 5. The first opening 4111 radially away from the rotating shaft 2 is used to avoid the end of the potential energy converter 5 away from the mounting seat 1, so that the potential energy converter 5 located between the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2 can partially extend to the first mounting groove 411 through the first opening 4111.

[0121] Exemplarily, the potential energy converter 5 is a torsion spring, and one end of the torsion spring facing away from the mounting seat 1 is partially located in the first mounting groove 411. The closed end of the first mounting groove 411 and the clamp 44 covering the second opening 4112 restrict the axial movement of the torsion spring located in the first mounting groove 411 along the rotating shaft 2, thereby restricting the axial movement of the torsion spring along the rotating shaft 2 and reducing the degree of axial movement of the torsion spring along the rotating shaft 2.

[0122] It is understandable that the specific installation method of the potential energy converter 5 and the inner sleeve 41 is not limited. For example, the potential energy converter 5 can be hung on the inner sleeve 41 by a hook. For example, the potential energy converter 5 can be welded to the inner sleeve 41.

[0123] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 The mounting seat 1 has a second mounting groove 11, and the second mounting groove 11 has a third opening 111 and a fourth opening 112. The third opening 111 is located on the side of the second mounting groove 11 away from the rotating shaft 2 in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the fourth opening 112 is located on the side of the second mounting groove 11 facing the first mounting groove 411 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The potential energy converter 5 partially extends into the second mounting groove 11 through the third opening 111 to connect the potential energy converter 5 to the mounting seat 1.

[0124] In the embodiment of the present application, since the fourth opening 112 is located on the side of the second mounting groove 11 facing the first mounting groove 411 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, the end of the potential energy converter 5 facing the mounting seat 1 can be moved into the second mounting groove 11 through the fourth opening 112. The clamp 44 is removed from the inner sleeve 41. In the process that the end of the potential energy converter 5 away from the mounting seat 1 moves from the second opening 4112 into the first mounting groove 411, the end of the potential energy converter 5 facing the mounting seat 1 moves from the fourth opening 112 into the second mounting groove 11, and then the clamp 44 is covered on the second opening 4112, so that the potential energy converter 5 can be more conveniently installed on the inner sleeve 41 and the mounting seat 1 respectively. The third opening 111 radially away from the rotating shaft 2 is used to avoid the end of the potential energy converter 5 facing the mounting seat 1, so that the potential energy converter 5 located between the inner sleeve 41 and the outer sleeve 43 along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 2 can partially extend to the second mounting groove 11 through the third opening 111.

[0125] For example, see Figure 5 to Figure 7 The potential energy converter 5 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner sleeve 41 .

[0126] For example, see Figure 5 to Figure 7 The potential energy converter 5 is a torsion spring, which is sleeved on the inner sleeve 41.

[0127] For example, see Figure 5 to Figure 7 ,as well as Fig.11 and Fig.12 The end of the torsion spring sleeved in the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1 is bent through the first opening 4111 and extends into the first mounting groove 411 , and the end of the torsion spring sleeved in the inner sleeve 41 facing the mounting seat 1 is bent through the third opening 111 and extends into the second mounting groove 11 .

[0128] For example, see Figure 5 to Figure 7 ,as well as Fig.11 and Fig.12 In the process that the bent portion of the torsion spring sleeved on the inner sleeve 41 facing away from the mounting seat 1 moves into the first mounting groove 411 through the second opening 4112, the bent portion of the torsion spring sleeved on the inner sleeve 41 facing the mounting seat 1 moves into the second mounting groove 11 through the fourth opening 112.

[0129] For example, see Fig.11 and Fig.12 , the first mounting groove 411 and the second mounting groove 11 are aligned.

[0130] It can be understood that the specific structural form of the first installation groove 411 and the second installation groove 11 is not limited, and the first installation groove 411 and the second installation groove 11 can be staggered with each other.

[0131] It is understandable that the specific installation method of the potential energy converter 5 and the mounting base 1 is not limited. For example, the potential energy converter 5 can be hung on the mounting base 1 by a hook. For example, the potential energy converter 5 can be welded to the mounting base 1.

[0132] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig.13 The mounting seat 1 is formed with a limiting groove 12 extending along the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the end surfaces of the limiting groove 12 at both ends of the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 2 are limiting surfaces 121. The outer sleeve 43 has a limiting portion 431, and the limiting portion 431 is located at one end of the outer sleeve 43 facing the mounting seat 1. The limiting portion 431 is located in the limiting groove 12. During the rotation of the outer sleeve 43, the limiting portion 431 can abut against the corresponding limiting surface 121 to limit the rotation range of the clamp 44 connected to the outer sleeve 43.

[0133] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving component 6 drives the first clamping component 3 to rotate along the first direction, and the rotating first clamping component 3 drives the material box 200 and the second clamping component 4 to rotate along the first direction. When the limiting portion 431 of the outer sleeve 43 of the second clamping component 4 rotates in the limiting groove 12 along the first direction until it abuts against the limiting surface 121 at one end of the limiting groove 12, the mounting seat 1 prevents the limiting portion 431 from continuing to rotate along the first direction. Accordingly, the outer sleeve 43 cannot continue to rotate along the first direction, and the second clamping component 4 cannot continue to rotate along the first direction. The second clamping component 4 rotates to the extreme position along the first direction, which is beneficial to prevent the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 from excessively flipping the clamped material box 200. The driving component 6 drives the first clamping component 3 to rotate along the second direction, and the second clamping component 4 rotates accordingly along the second direction to reset under the drive of the potential energy released by the potential energy converter 5. When the limiting portion 431 of the outer sleeve 43 of the second clamping component 4 rotates along the second direction until it abuts against the limiting surface 121 at the other end of the limiting groove 12, the mounting seat 1 prevents the limiting portion 431 from continuing to rotate along the second direction. Accordingly, the outer sleeve 43 cannot continue to rotate along the second direction, and the second clamping component 4 cannot continue to rotate along the second direction. The second clamping component 4 rotates to the extreme position along the second direction. The force applied to the second clamping component 4 by the potential energy converter 5 and the reaction force applied to the limiting portion 431 of the outer sleeve 43 of the second clamping component 4 by the mounting seat 1 at the limiting surface 121 can keep the second clamping component 4 at the corresponding position where the limiting portion 431 of the outer sleeve 43 abuts against the corresponding limiting surface 121.

[0134] It needs to be explained that the end faces of the limit groove 12 along the circumference of the rotating shaft 2 are limit faces 121, and the limit groove 12 has end faces at both ends of the circumference of the rotating shaft 2, that is, the two ends of the limit groove 12 along the circumference of the rotating shaft 2 are closed, and the limit groove 12 is not a ring connected end to end.

[0135] It is understandable that the mounting base 1 does not necessarily need to be provided with the limiting groove 12. For example, the mounting base 1 may not limit the rotation of the second clamping assembly 4, and the second clamping assembly 4 may rotate 360 ​​degrees.

[0136] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig.13 The mounting seat 1 is also formed with a receiving groove 13 surrounding the rotating shaft 2. The receiving groove 13 is annular and communicated with the limiting groove 12. The receiving groove 13 is located on the side of the limiting groove 12 facing the inner sleeve 41 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2. The outer sleeve 43 has a shielding ring 432 at one end facing the mounting seat 1. The shielding ring 432 is located at one end of the limiting portion 431 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 facing the inner sleeve 41, and the shielding ring 432 is located in the receiving groove 13.

[0137] In the embodiment of the present application, the radial side wall of the accommodating groove 13 along the rotating shaft 2 faces the shielding ring 432 of the outer sleeve 43 to form a certain shielding, thereby preventing dust and other debris on the outside of the outer sleeve 43 from entering the inner side of the outer sleeve 43 from the outer sleeve 43 toward one end of the mounting seat 1, so that the structure sleeved on the rotating shaft 2 for rotating relative to the rotating shaft 2 can rotate more smoothly.

[0138] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 14 to Figure 18 The material box 200 is formed with a clamping groove 204, and one or more openings of the clamping groove 204 are clamping openings 2041. When the material box 200 is placed on the frame 300, the opening direction of the clamping opening 2041 is downward, and the first clamping assembly 3 has a first clamping arm 32, and the first clamping arm 32 has a positioning portion 321 protruding along a first direction. The first clamping assembly 3 rotates along the first direction to make the positioning portion 321 move into the clamping groove 204 through the clamping opening 2041.

[0139] In the embodiment of the present application, when the first clamping component 3 rotates along the first direction, the corresponding first clamping arm 32 of the first clamping component 3 and the positioning portion 321 on the first clamping arm 32 rotate along the first direction. During the process of the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 clamping the material box 200 and flipping it, the positioning portion 321 passing through the clamping opening 2041 and located in the clamping groove 204 can more firmly hold the material box 200. During the process of the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 clamping the material box 200 and flipping it, the possibility of the material box 200 escaping from the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 is reduced.

[0140] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.14 The clamping groove 204 is located at the bottom of the material box 200 .

[0141] In the embodiment of the present application, by setting the clamping groove 204 at the bottom of the material box 200, the positioning portion 321 can be moved from the bottom of the material box 200 into the clamping groove 204 to clamp the material box 200, which is beneficial to reduce the degree to which the material box 200 hangs out of the feeding device 100.

[0142] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.14 The material box 200 has a accommodating cavity 205 and a protrusion 206, the accommodating cavity 205 is used to accommodate food, the protrusion 206 protrudes toward one side of the accommodating cavity 205, the clamping groove 204 is formed on the side of the protrusion 206 away from the accommodating cavity 205, the cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 204 located at the bottom of the material box 200 is an arc shape, and the shape of the positioning portion 321 is adapted to the shape of the clamping groove 204.

[0143] In the embodiment of the present application, since the shape of the positioning portion 321 matches the shape of the clamping groove 204, the positioning portion 321 and the clamping groove 204 are both roughly in the shape of an arc, which is conducive to the positioning portion 321 and the surface of the clamping groove 204 being positioned and contacted relatively smoothly. In addition, the shape of the clamping groove 204 is in the shape of an arc, so that when the wall thickness of the material box 200 is not too thick, the protrusion 206 can basically transition relatively smoothly. Avoid the sharp protrusion 206 in the accommodating cavity 205 of the material box 200.

[0144] It should be noted that the protrusion 206 is located on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 205 .

[0145] It is understandable that the shape of the clamping groove 204 is not limited. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 204 can be a rectangle, or other regular or irregular shapes.

[0146] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 to Figure 18The clamping groove 204 is located on the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100 .

[0147] In the embodiment of the present application, since the clamping groove 204 is located on the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100, the positioning portion 321 of the first clamping arm 32 of the first clamping assembly 3 can avoid the part of the frame 300 located at the bottom of the material box 200 as much as possible during the process of moving into or out of the clamping groove 204, which is beneficial to simplify the partial structure on the frame 300 for supporting the material box 200.

[0148] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 15 to Figure 18 The groove wall surface of the clamping groove 204 located on the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100 includes a first wall 2042, a second wall 2043 and a third wall 2044 respectively connected to the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043, the arrangement direction of the feeding device 100 and the material box 200 is a third direction, the first wall 2042 is located along the third direction between the second wall 2043 and the central axis of rotation of the first clamping assembly 3 relative to the mounting seat 1, and the third wall 2044 is located on the side of the clamping groove 204 away from the clamping opening 2041.

[0149] In the embodiment of the present application, the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043 are arranged along the third direction. When the positioning portion 321 is located in the clamping groove 204, the position of the positioning portion 321 in the clamping groove 204 along the third direction is constrained by the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043, thereby reducing the possibility of the clamped material box 200 escaping from between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4. Since the third wall 2044 is located on the side of the clamping groove 204 away from the clamping opening 2041, the clamping opening 2041 faces downward, the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043 are both located below the third wall 2044, and the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043 are arranged relatively to each other. The distance between the third wall 2044 and the clamping opening 2041 is basically not constrained by the distance between the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043. When the distance between the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043 remains basically unchanged, the distance between the third wall 2044 and the clamping opening 2041 can be set to be relatively large, and the depth of the clamping groove 204 is deep, which is conducive to the positioning portion 321 extending into a deeper position in the clamping groove 204 through the clamping opening 2041, thereby better buckling the material box 200, and reducing the possibility of the material box 200 escaping from between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 when the material box 200 is clamped.

[0150] It should be explained that the central axis of rotation of the first clamping assembly 3 relative to the mounting base 1 is the central axis of rotation of the rotating shaft 2. Therefore, the first wall surface 2042 is located between the second wall surface 2043 and the central axis of rotation of the first clamping assembly 3 relative to the mounting base 1 along the third direction, that is, the first wall surface 2042 is located between the second wall surface 2043 and the rotating shaft 2 along the third direction.

[0151] Exemplarily, the shape of the clamping groove 204 surrounded by the first wall 2042 , the second wall 2043 and the third wall 2044 is substantially U-shaped.

[0152] It is understandable that the shape of the clamping groove 204 on the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100 is not limited. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 204 can be V-shaped, the first wall 2042 and the second wall 2043 are connected, and the clamping groove 204 may not be provided with a third wall 2044. For example, the cross-sectional shape of the clamping groove 204 can be arc-shaped, and the cross-sectional rotation axis 2 of the clamping groove 204 is vertical.

[0153] For example, see Figures 14 to 19 , the third direction is the direction indicated by arrow R3 in the figure.

[0154] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 19 to Figure 21 The material box 200 has a first bearing portion 202 on both sides of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, the first clamping assembly 3 has a first clamping arm 32, the first clamping arm 32 includes a main arm 322 and a sub-arm 323, the material box 200 is provided with the sub-arm 323 on both sides of the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, the main arm 322 is respectively connected to the sub-arms 323 on both sides, and the sub-arms 323 on both sides can respectively abut against the first bearing portion 202, so that the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4.

[0155] In the embodiment of the present application, since the main arm 322 is respectively connected to the sub-arms 323 on both sides, when the driving component 6 drives the first clamping component 3 to rotate along the first direction, the first clamping arm 32 correspondingly rotates along the first direction, and the power of the driving component 6 is transmitted to the sub-arms 323 on both sides through the main arm 322, so that the sub-arms 323 on both sides can be more evenly abutted against the first bearing parts 202 on both sides of the material box 200, and the sub-arms 323 on both sides evenly support the two sides of the material box 200 so that the force on both sides of the material box 200 is more even.

[0156] For example, see Figure 19 to Figure 21 The second clamping assembly 4 is located between the two side sub-arms 323 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0157] It is understandable that the material box 200 does not necessarily have to be provided with the clamping groove 204 , and the first clamping assembly 3 does not necessarily have to be formed with a positioning portion 321 that cooperates with the clamping groove 204 .

[0158] For example, see Figure 19 to Figure 21 The shapes of the two side sub-arms 323 are both flat plates, and the surfaces where the first bearing portion 202 contacts the two side sub-arms 323 are flat surfaces.

[0159] It is understandable that the arrangement of the side arms is not limited. Exemplarily, the sub-arm 323 is located on one side of the material box 200 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2, and the sub-arm 323 is not provided on the other side.

[0160] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 14 to 19 A second bearing portion 203 is formed on the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100, and the second bearing portion 203 protrudes from the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100. When the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4, the second clamping component 4 abuts against the side of the second bearing portion 203 facing the first direction.

[0161] In the embodiment of the present application, the second bearing portion 203 protrudes from the side of the material box 200 facing the feeding device 100, so that the second clamping assembly 4 of the feeding device 100 abuts against the second bearing portion 203 to clamp the material box 200. During the rotation of the first clamping assembly 3 along the first direction, since the second clamping assembly 4 abuts against the side of the second bearing portion 203 facing the first direction, the first clamping assembly 3 rotating along the first direction clamps the material box 200 and applies a force to the second clamping assembly 4, and the potential energy converter 5 drives the second clamping assembly 4 to apply a reaction force to the second bearing portion 203 of the material box 200, so that the material box 200 is clamped more firmly by the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4.

[0162] It is understandable that the material box 200 is not limited to being provided with the second bearing portion 203. For example, the material box 200 may not be provided with the protruding second bearing portion 203, and the second clamping assembly 4 may abut against the end surface of the side wall of the material box 200, so that the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4. For example, when the material box 200 is placed on the rack 300, the opening of the accommodating cavity 205 of the material box 200 for accommodating food materials faces upward, and the second clamping assembly 4 may abut against the upper end surface of the side wall of the material box 200 at the opening position of the upper end of the material box 200 that is connected to the accommodating cavity 205.

[0163] For example, see Fig.14 ,as well as Figure 17 to Figure 19 The second bearing portion 203 is located at an end of the material box 200 that faces the opening of the accommodating cavity 205 .

[0164] In one embodiment, please refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 The central axis of rotation of the first clamping component 3 relative to the mounting base 1 is the target axis 33, the side of the material box 200 facing the target axis 33 has a bearing surface 201, the end of the bearing surface 201 away from the first direction is the target end 2011, the target end 2011 of the bearing surface 201 is inclined toward the target axis 33, and when the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4, the second clamping component 4 abuts against the side of the bearing surface 201 facing the first direction to push the side wall of the clamping groove 204 facing the feeding device 100 toward the positioning portion 321.

[0165] In the embodiment of the present application, when the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4, since the target end 2011 of the bearing surface 201 is inclined toward the target axis 33, when the second clamping assembly 4 abuts against the bearing surface 201, the force applied by the second clamping assembly 4 to the bearing surface 201 under the action of the potential energy converter 5 has a component away from the direction of the rotating shaft 2. In addition, when the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4, since the target end 2011 of the bearing surface 201 is inclined toward the target axis 33, when the second clamping assembly 4 abuts against the bearing surface 201, the side wall of the clamping groove 204 on one side of the feeding device 100 is pushed toward the positioning portion 321, and the force applied by the positioning portion 321 to the side wall of the clamping groove 204 on the side of the feeding device 100 has a component toward the direction of the rotating shaft 2. Therefore, through the abutment contact between the positioning portion 321 and the side wall of the clamping groove 204 and the abutment contact between the second clamping component 4 and the supporting surface 201, the solid box can be clamped more stably between the positioning portion 321 and the second clamping component 4 in the arrangement direction of the feeding device 100 and the material box 200, thereby reducing the movement of the material box 200 along the arrangement direction of the feeding device 100 and the material box 200 during the process of being clamped and flipped. Furthermore, when the material box 200 is clamped between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4, since the target end 2011 of the bearing surface 201 is inclined toward the target axis 33, when the second clamping component 4 abuts against the bearing surface 201, the force applied to the bearing surface 201 by the second clamping component 4 under the action of the potential energy converter 5 also has a component roughly along the second direction. In the process of the first clamping component 3 rotating along the first direction to clamp and flip the material box 200, it is helpful to reduce the possibility of the material box 200 escaping from between the first clamping component 3 and the second clamping component 4 along the first direction.

[0166] It can be understood that, when the magazine 200 has the second bearing portion 203, the possibility of the magazine 200 coming out from between the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 along the first direction is reduced mainly through the abutment contact between the second clamping assembly 4 and the second bearing portion 203. The force substantially along the second direction or the force component substantially along the second direction applied by the second clamping assembly 4 to the magazine 200 under the action of the potential energy converter 5 mainly acts on the second bearing portion 203.

[0167] It should be noted that the central axis of the first clamping assembly 3 rotating relative to the mounting base 1 is the target axis 33 . Since the first clamping assembly 3 rotates along with the rotating shaft 2 , the target axis 33 is the central axis of the rotating shaft 2 .

[0168] For example, see Fig.15 and Fig.16 The bearing surface 201 is located on a side of the clamping groove 204 away from the clamping opening 2041 .

[0169] For example, see Fig.15 and Fig.16 The bearing surface 201 is located on a side of the third wall 2044 away from the clamping opening 2041 .

[0170] For example, see Fig.15 and Fig.16 , the carrying surface 201 is located on a side of the second carrying portion 203 facing the first direction.

[0171] Exemplarily, when the first clamping assembly 3 and the second clamping assembly 4 clamp the magazine 200, the positioning portion 321 is located in the clamping groove 204, and the second clamping assembly 4 abuts against the side of the bearing surface 201 facing the first direction to push the first wall surface 2042 of the side wall of the clamping groove 204 toward the positioning portion 321. The first wall surface 2042 abuts against the positioning portion 321.

[0172] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 The feeding device 100 also includes a limit baffle 7, which is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 2 away from the mounting seat 1. The first clamping component 3 abuts against the corresponding shoulder of the rotating shaft 2 and the limit baffle 7 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2 to limit the axial position of the first clamping component 3 along the rotating shaft 2.

[0173] It is understandable that the feeding device 100 may not be provided with the limit baffle 7 , and the first clamping assembly 3 rotating with the shaft 2 is interference fit with the shaft 2 to limit the axial position of the first clamping assembly 3 along the shaft 2 .

[0174] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 8 The first clamping arm 32 has a second clamping claw 324 protruding toward one side of the mounting seat 1 , and the positioning portion 321 is formed on the second clamping claw 324 .

[0175] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 ,as well as Figure 5 and Figure 6 The position where the first clamping assembly 3 is installed on the rotating shaft 2 is located on the side of the position where the second clamping assembly 4 is installed on the rotating shaft 2 away from the mounting seat 1.

[0176] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
