[0025] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 6 The pneumatic feeding mechanism includes a storage chamber 1, a feeding port 11 is provided at the lower side of the storage chamber 1, and the feeding port 11 is connected to a movable part 2, and the movable part 2 can move upward or downward to open or close the feeding port 11. During use, high-temperature steam can push the movable part 2 to move upward, so that the feeding port 11 is opened, and the food in the storage chamber 1 can flow downward through the feeding port 11. When the movable part 2 receives a downward external force (such as gravity, thrust, etc.) and moves downward, the movable part 2 will close the feeding port 11 and maintain it until the steam pressure is sufficient to push the movable part 2 to separate from the feeding port 11.

[0027] The storage chamber 1 is also provided with a first exhaust port 12 for discharging steam. When steam enters the storage chamber 1, it can be discharged through the first exhaust port 12, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by excessive air pressure in the storage chamber 1 and improving product safety.

[0028] Furthermore, the first exhaust port 12 is arranged on the upper side of the storage cavity 1, and the outer side of the storage cavity 1 is provided with an outer cover 3, which can block the storage cavity 1 to prevent the user from directly contacting the outer side of the storage cavity 1 and being burned.

[0029] A second exhaust port 31 is provided on the outer cover 3 at an upper position corresponding to the first exhaust port 12. The vertical projections of the first exhaust port 12 and the second exhaust port 31 at least partially overlap. A vertical spacing is formed between the first exhaust port 12 and the second exhaust port 31. After passing through the first exhaust port 12, high-temperature steam needs to pass through a cooling distance before being discharged outwardly through the second exhaust port 31, thereby reducing the temperature of the steam discharged outwardly and further improving the safety of the product.

[0030] Furthermore, the movable part 2 includes a hand-pull portion 21, the upper section of which passes through the outer cover 3 and extends outward. The user can manually control the movement state of the movable part 2 through the hand-pull portion 21, thereby adapting to more different application scenarios.

[0031] Furthermore, a limit block 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the upper section of the hand-pull part 21, the hand-pull part 21 passes through the upper and lower ends of the limit block 22, the limit block 22 is fixedly connected to the storage chamber 1, and the limit block 22 can improve the stability of the hand-pull part 21 during movement.

[0032] The limit block 22 is provided with an anti-idiot portion 221, the outer cover 3 is sleeved on the outer side of the limit block 22, and the outer cover 3 is provided with an anti-idiot groove 32 corresponding to the anti-idiot portion 221. The cooperation between the anti-idiot portion 221 and the anti-idiot groove 32 can improve the installation accuracy between the outer cover 3 and the hand-pull portion 21.

[0033] Furthermore, an energy-gathering chamber 23 is provided in the movable part 2, and the lower side of the energy-gathering chamber 23 is open. After the high-temperature steam enters the energy-gathering chamber 23, it can better act on the movable part 2, thereby generating a greater thrust to push the movable part 2 to move upward.

[0034] A seal 24 is provided between the movable part 2 and the discharge port 11. The movable part 2 closes the discharge port 11 so that the seal 24 can be sealed with the movable part 2 and the discharge port 11 respectively to prevent high-temperature steam from entering the storage chamber 1 from the position between the movable part 2 and the discharge port 11.

[0035] Furthermore, a limiting protrusion 25 protruding outward is provided on the outer side of the movable part 2. The movable part 2 closes the discharge port 11 so that the limiting protrusion 25 can abut and cooperate with the upper side of the discharge port 11. The limiting protrusion 25 can play a limiting effect when the movable part 2 moves downward, and at the same time can further improve the sealing between the movable part 2 and the discharge port 11.

[0036] Furthermore, a guide slope 251 is provided on the upper side of the limiting protrusion 25, and the guide slope 251 is inclined from bottom to top toward the inner side of the movable part 2. When the movable part 2 moves upward, the guide slope 251 can make the food in the storage chamber 1 near the position of the limiting protrusion 25 fall downward, thereby avoiding the accumulation of food on the surface of the movable part 2.

[0037] Furthermore, a guide sleeve 41 corresponding to the movable part 2 is provided in the storage chamber 1. The guide sleeve 41 extends vertically. The movable part 2 is at least partially engaged with the inner side of the guide sleeve 41. The guide sleeve 41 can improve the stability of the movable part 2 when it moves in the up and down directions.

[0038] An upper magnetic block 51 is provided at a position above the guide sleeve 41 corresponding to the movable part 2, and a lower magnetic block 52 is provided on the upper side of the movable part 2. The upper magnetic block 51 and the lower magnetic block 52 are attracted to each other to enable the movable part 2 to keep the discharge port 11 open. After the movable part 2 opens the discharge port 11, the pressure of the movable part 2 itself received by the high-temperature steam will decrease. The cooperation between the upper magnetic block 51 and the lower magnetic block 52 can prevent the movable part 2 from moving downward again under its own gravity after opening the discharge port 11, thereby ensuring that the food can pass through the discharge port 11 smoothly.

[0039] A heat insulating pad 53 is provided between the lower side of the lower magnetic block 52 and the movable part 2 to prevent the lower magnetic block 52 from being overheated. Therefore, the lower magnetic block 52 does not need to use a high-temperature magnetic block with a relatively high cost, thereby reducing material costs.

[0040] Furthermore, a first opening portion 13 is provided on the upper side of the storage chamber 1, and the storage chamber 1 is movably connected with a movable baffle 4, a guide sleeve 41 is arranged at the center position of the movable baffle 4, and a second opening portion 42 is provided on the movable baffle 4. The movable baffle 4 can make relative rotation movement relative to the storage chamber 1 so that the first opening portion 13 and the second opening portion 42 are overlapped or staggered along the vertical projection. When the user needs to add food to the storage chamber 1, there is no need to fully open the storage chamber 1, and it is only necessary to rotate the movable baffle 4, which simplifies the operation difficulty of the user.

[0041] A limiting mechanism 43 is provided between the movable cover 4 and the storage chamber 1 to limit the relative position therebetween, so as to avoid accidental displacement between the movable cover 4 and the storage chamber 1 during the use of the equipment and further improve the stability of the equipment operation. The limiting mechanism 43 can be realized by means of a concave-convex tooth structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, etc., which can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0042] The utility model also discloses a food cooking machine, including a cooking chamber 5, which is connected to a heating mechanism 54. The upper side of the cooking chamber 5 is connected and cooperated with the above-mentioned pneumatic feeding mechanism. The heating mechanism 54 can generate high-temperature steam in the cooking chamber 5. After the feeding mechanism is started, the high-temperature steam can make the food in the storage chamber 1 enter the cooking chamber 5, thereby achieving the effect of separating the raw materials and water before cooking.

[0043] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention may have other embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all within the scope set by the claims of this application.
