[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1,

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 8 The utility model discloses an automatic material feeding device, including a feeding seat 10 and a discharging assembly 20, the discharging assembly 20 includes at least two discharging parts, at least two discharging parts are enclosed to form a storage cavity 23, and the at least two discharging parts include a first discharging part 21 and a second discharging part 22, the second discharging part 22 is installed on the feeding seat 10, and the first discharging part 21 is rotatably installed on the second discharging part 22, a force-bearing part is provided on the first discharging part 21, and the force-bearing part can rotate when subjected to force to drive the first discharging part 21 to move closer to or away from the second discharging part 22, so that the first discharging part 21 and the second discharging part 22 are enclosed to form a storage cavity 23 or open the storage cavity 23.

[0034] On the basis of the above structure, during assembly, the first discharge piece 21 is rotatably installed on the second discharge piece 22, so that the first discharge piece 21 can rotate when subjected to force to move closer to or away from the second discharge piece 22. Specifically, when moving closer to the second discharge piece 22, it can be enclosed and combined with the second discharge piece 22 to form a closed storage cavity 23, and the storage cavity 23 can be used to temporarily store materials; when it is necessary to release materials, external force can be applied to the first discharge piece 21 to rotate it to move away from the second discharge piece 22. At this time, the storage cavity 23 can be opened to release materials.

[0035] Specifically, when the automatic material feeding device in the present embodiment is applied to a blender such as a chef machine, a wall breaking machine, and a supplementary food machine, in the initial state, the feeding seat 10 is assembled to the cup mouth of the blending cup 50, and the first discharging member 21 and the second discharging member 22 are close to each other and enclosed to form a material storage chamber 23, and the material that needs to be fed midway can be temporarily stored in the material storage chamber 23. When the blending action is performed, the liquid in the blending cup 50 will rotate at a high speed under the action of the blending component 41 during the blending process, so that a water pressure impact is formed in the blending cup 50. Since the feeding seat 10 is assembled in the blending cup 50, the high-pressure water pressure impact force can impact the blending cup 50. The force-bearing portion on the first discharging member 21 extending into the mixing cup 50 is hit, and the force-bearing portion can drive the first discharging member 21 to rotate upward when subjected to force, so that the first discharging member 21 moves away from the second discharging member 22. At this time, the storage cavity 23 formed by the two can be opened, so that the material temporarily stored in the storage cavity 23 can be automatically put into the mixing cup 50, thereby realizing automatic material feeding. In this way, there is no need to open the mixing cup 50, and the material can be automatically put in during the mixing process, that is, the mixing process is continuous, the mixing efficiency is improved, and other impurities brought in due to the opening of the mixing cup 50 in the middle of the mixing process, which also affect the taste of the mixed materials, are reduced.

[0036] When the stirring operation is completed, the force on the first discharging member 21 disappears. At this time, due to its own gravity, it can return to its original position downward, thereby moving closer to the second discharging member 22 again, so as to form a storage cavity 23 together with the second discharging member 22 again, and the material can be stored in the storage cavity 23 again when it is used next time.

[0037] In addition, the force-bearing portion on the first discharge piece 21 can be arranged in a rod-shaped, plate-shaped or block-shaped manner on the first discharge piece 21. During assembly, the force-bearing portion can be protruding from the outer peripheral edge of the first discharge piece 21, so that when the discharge piece is close to and enclosed with the second discharge piece 22, the external force can be concentrated on the force-bearing portion to easily open the first discharge piece 21; and the force-bearing portion can be arranged at an end or side of the first discharge piece 21 away from the feeding seat 10, so that after the feeding seat 10 and the stirring cup 50 are assembled, the force-bearing portion on the first discharge piece can be more easily extended into the stirring cup and can be more easily impacted by the liquid in the stirring cup, so that the first discharge piece 21 can be more easily rotated under force to open the storage cavity.

[0038] Specifically, the second discharge piece 22 can be arranged on the feeding seat 10 by snap-fit ​​connection, threaded connection or integral molding, and the first discharge piece 21 can be connected to one end of the second discharge piece 22 through the rotating shaft 212; in addition, the ends of the first discharge piece 21 and the second discharge piece 22 that are close to each other can be respectively provided with connecting parts (such as buckles or magnetic parts, etc.) that can be snapped together or magnetically matched and can be disengaged under force, so that the two can be connected together in the process of approaching each other, and the storage chamber 23 will not be easily opened, so that the material is not easy to fall after being placed in the storage chamber 23.

[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, two discharging parts are provided, and the two discharging parts can be arranged opposite to each other and enclosed to form a storage cavity 23. In other cases, three discharging parts can be provided, and the three discharging parts can be enclosed together to form a completely closed storage cavity 23. One of the three discharging parts can move relative to another discharging part adjacent to it, or can move relative to another discharging part opposite to it. In short, any structure that can realize the closed state or open state of the storage cavity 23 during the movement can be realized. The number of the above-mentioned discharging parts is not specifically limited, as long as at least one of the discharging parts can move relative to any other discharging parts.

[0040] Preferably, in this embodiment, a force-bearing plate 211 is provided on the first discharge piece 21 , and the force-bearing plate 211 is formed as a force-bearing portion. When assembled, the force-bearing plate 211 protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the first discharge piece 21 .

[0041] Compared with the rod-shaped structure, the area of ​​the force-bearing plate 211 is larger, so that the force-bearing part is more susceptible to the impact of the water flow. In this way, during the stirring process, the force-bearing plate 211 is more susceptible to the impact force of the water flow, so that the first discharge piece 21 is more susceptible to rotation and moves away from the second discharge piece 22, thereby making the storage chamber 23 easier to open and the material delivery process smoother.

[0042] More specifically, the force-bearing plate 211 in the present embodiment includes a first force-bearing section 2111 and a second force-bearing section 2112. During assembly, the first force-bearing section 2111 can be arranged at an end of the first discharge piece 21 away from the feeding seat 10, that is, the bottom end of the first discharge piece 21. Then, when the feeding seat 10 and the mixing cup 50 are assembled, the first force-bearing section 2111 located at the bottom end is easier to extend into the liquid in the mixing cup 50, and is easier to be impacted by the rotating liquid to open the first discharge piece 21; and the second force-bearing section 2112 is connected with the first force-bearing section 2111 and is arranged on the side of the first discharge piece 21. Then, when the liquid in the mixing cup 50 rotates at a high speed, the second force-bearing section 2112 located on the side of the first discharge piece 21 is in the direction of water flow rotation, is easier to be impacted, and is better stressed. In this way, the entire force-bearing plate 211 can be stressed from the bottom and the side during the mixing operation, and the force-bearing area is wider, making it easier to open the first discharge piece 21.

[0043] It should be noted that, since the liquid in the mixing cup 50 is prone to not being full, if the force-bearing plate 21 is arranged at one end close to the feeding seat 10, it is easy for the force-bearing plate 21 to fail to contact the liquid in the mixing cup 50, resulting in the phenomenon that it is not easy to be impacted by the liquid during the mixing operation, and the first discharging piece 21 is not easy to be opened. Therefore, the first force-bearing section 2111 and the second force-bearing section 2112 of the force-bearing plate 21 in this embodiment are respectively arranged at the bottom and the side of the first discharging piece, which are more easily impacted by the liquid and subjected to force.

[0044] Specifically, the first force-bearing section 2111 and the second force-bearing section 2112 may be an integrally formed plate, or may be formed by two plate sections through gluing, welding or other methods.

[0045] It should be noted that, in specific settings, the force-bearing plate 211 can be provided only on one side of the first discharge piece 21, or can be provided on both sides of the first discharge piece 21 to increase the force-bearing area, depending on the actual installation space.

[0046] Furthermore, a first magnetic component 30 is provided on the first discharge piece 21, and a second magnetic component 31 is provided on the second discharge piece 22. The first magnetic component 30 and the second magnetic component 31 cooperate with each other magnetically to close the first discharge piece 21 and the second discharge piece 22.

[0047] Based on this structure, the discharge component 20 can be magnetically coupled with the second magnetic component 31 through the first magnetic component 30 in the initial state, so that the first discharge component 21 remains in an attracted state with the second discharge component 22, that is, the discharge component 20 is maintained in a closed state by magnetic force. In this state, materials can be stored in the storage chamber 23.

[0048] When feeding is required, the first discharge piece 21 can be relatively away from the second discharge piece 22 when subjected to force. At this time, the first magnetic member 30 and the second magnetic member 31 can be separated, so that the first discharge piece 21 remains away from the second discharge piece 22, and the storage cavity 23 is opened. At this time, the material in the storage cavity 23 can fall out, and the material can be automatically fed.

[0049] It should be noted that during the actual use of the blender, the stirring process is usually heated by a heating component, and the magnetism of a conventional magnet will weaken during the heating process, resulting in the weakening of the magnetic attraction of the two magnetic components. Therefore, during the stirring process, when the water flow impacts the force-bearing plate 211, the first magnetic component 30 and the second magnetic component 31 are easier to separate when the magnetism is weakened, so that the storage chamber 23 is easier to open.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first magnetic member 30 is a first permanent magnet, and the second magnetic member 31 is a second permanent magnet, that is, the first magnetic member 30 and the second magnetic member 31 can both be selected as magnet structures in the prior art. In other cases, the first magnetic member 30 can also be a magnet, and the second magnetic member 31 can be made of materials that can be magnetically attracted, such as iron and steel.

[0051] Furthermore, a mounting groove 24 is provided at the bottom end of the discharge piece, and the first magnetic component 30 is installed in the mounting groove 24 of the first discharge piece 21; the second magnetic component 31 is installed in the mounting groove 24 of the second discharge piece 22, that is, by setting the mounting groove 24 on the discharge piece, the first magnetic component 30 and the second magnetic component 31 are respectively installed, so as to realize the positioning installation of each magnetic component.

[0052] Of course, the first magnetic member 30 and the second magnetic member 31 can be fixed to the mounting groove 24 by gluing or snapping.

[0053] Furthermore, a mounting groove section 221 is provided on the discharge piece, and the mounting groove section 221 extends along the circumference of the second discharge piece 22 . A clamping block 11 is provided on the feeding seat 10 , and the clamping block 11 extends along the circumference of the feeding seat 10 , and the clamping block 11 is clamped to the mounting groove section 221 .

[0054] During assembly, in this embodiment, an installation groove section 221 is set on the discharge assembly 20, and a clamping block 11 is set on the feeding seat 10. The clamping block 11 is clamped into the installation groove section 221 to make the second discharge member 22 and the feeding seat 10 snap-fit ​​and connected. No other connecting parts are required, and the assembly is simple.

[0055] Of course, in order to strengthen the connection between the second discharging member 22 and the feeding seat 10, after the two are engaged and connected, they can be further fixed by parts such as screws, bolts or pins.

[0056] Furthermore, a through hole 222 is provided on the first discharging member 21 , and a rotating shaft 212 is provided on the second discharging member 22 . The rotating shaft 212 can be rotatably connected to the through hole 222 .

[0057] Specifically in this embodiment, a rotating shaft 212 is set on the second discharge piece 22, and the rotating shaft 212 is rotatably connected to the through hole 222, so that the first discharge piece 21 can be rotatably assembled on the second discharge piece 22, so that it can rotate and move away from the second discharge piece 22 when subjected to force.

[0058] In order to facilitate the discharge of materials in the present embodiment, a guiding slope 25 is provided at the bottom end of the discharge piece, and the guiding slope 25 is gradually inclined inward from top to bottom, that is, the bottom end of the storage cavity 23 formed by different discharge pieces is surrounded by the guiding slope 25. In this way, after the material is stored in the storage cavity 23, the material can apply gravity to the guiding slope 25, and the guiding slope 25 can perform gravity decomposition, and the external force applied to the force plate 211 on the first discharge piece 21 is superimposed, which makes it easier to overcome the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic attraction piece 30 and the second magnetic attraction piece 31, thereby realizing the smooth opening of the first discharge piece 21.

[0059] Of course, the guiding slope 25 can also guide the materials to be dropped from top to bottom toward the middle of the material storage cavity 23, so as to facilitate the centralized discharge of the materials.

[0060] Furthermore, at least two discharge pieces are together enclosed to form a cylindrical storage chamber 23. Specifically, the discharge piece can be formed by a semi-cylindrical discharge shell, or can be enclosed by structures such as arc plates. The storage chamber 23 formed after at least two discharge pieces are enclosed is cylindrical, which is convenient for storing relatively more materials in a small space.

[0061] Embodiment 2,

[0062] See also Figures 1 to 8 In the present embodiment, a blender is disclosed, comprising a base 40, a blending cup 50 and the automatic material feeding device of Embodiment 1. Specifically, a feeding seat 10 is detachably mounted on the mouth of the blending cup 50, that is, the feeding seat 10 can be used as a cover structure on the blending cup 50. After being installed on the blending cup 50, the first discharge piece 21 and the second discharge piece 22 on the feeding seat 10 can be extended into the blending cup 50, and a stirring component 41 is provided on the base 40. The stirring component 41 can perform a stirring action in the blending cup 50 under the action of a motor on the base 40.

[0063] During specific use, the materials that need to be added midway can be temporarily stored in the storage chamber 23. When the stirring action is performed, the liquid in the stirring cup 50 will rotate at high speed under the action of the stirring component 41 during the stirring process, so that a water pressure impact is formed in the stirring cup 50. Since the feeding seat 10 is assembled in the stirring cup 50, the high-pressure water pressure impact force can impact the force-bearing part on the first discharge piece 21 extending into the stirring cup 50 at this time, and the force-bearing part can drive the first discharge piece 21 to rotate upward when subjected to force, so that the first discharge piece 21 moves away from the second discharge piece 22. At this time, the storage chamber 23 enclosed by the two can be opened, so that the materials temporarily stored in the storage chamber 23 can be automatically added to the stirring cup 50, thereby realizing automatic material addition. In this way, there is no need to open the stirring cup 50, and the materials can be automatically added during the stirring process, that is, the stirring process is continuous, the stirring efficiency is improved, and other impurities introduced due to the opening of the stirring cup 50 midway also affect the taste of the stirred materials.

[0064] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
