[0022] The implementation modes of the present utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model discloses a soymilk machine capable of automatically feeding materials, comprising a machine base 1, on which is provided a cup body 2, in which is provided a receiving chamber 21, a crushing assembly 23 is provided at the bottom of the receiving chamber 21, and a driving mechanism 11 capable of driving the crushing assembly 23 is also provided on the machine base 1, and the cup body 2 is also connected to a cup cover 3 capable of opening and closing, and a hopper 41 located in the receiving chamber 21 and capable of placing food materials is rotatably connected to the upper part of the cup body 2 or the cup cover 3, and an outer side wall of the hopper 41 is provided with a drainage plate 42 capable of draining the liquid in the receiving chamber 21 into the hopper 41.

[0024] The base 1 provides a stable operating platform and integrates components such as a power interface. The cup body 2 is provided with a receiving chamber 21 inside, which can hold water and ingredients to be processed. The crushing component 23 is driven by the driving mechanism 11 to achieve high-speed rotation, and grinds and crushes ingredients such as soybeans to ensure that the ingredients are fully crushed and evenly mixed with other liquids. At the same time, when the ingredients are in the hopper 41, the water in the receiving chamber 21 can be stirred to form a vortex in the water in the receiving chamber 21, thereby driving the hopper 41 to deflect. The cup cover 3 can be opened and closed, so that the cup body 2 can maintain its sealing during the processing process to prevent liquid from splashing.

[0025] In the embodiment, the crushing component 23 is a blade, and the driving mechanism 11 is a driving motor, which is connected to the blade through an output shaft and drives the blade to rotate. In the embodiment, the hopper 41 is arranged at the lower part of the cup cover 3. The hopper 41 can also be arranged in the accommodating cavity 21 of the cup body 2 to achieve the same function.

[0026] In the embodiment, the soymilk maker further has a heating element, so that after the food is put into the accommodating chamber 21 , the food is ground and boiled through the grinding component 23 and the heating element.

[0027] By rotatably connecting the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2 with a hopper 41 for placing ingredients, and providing a drainage plate 42 on the outer wall of the hopper 41 that can drain the liquid in the accommodating chamber into the hopper, the user can place the ingredients on the hopper 41 and add a proper amount of water into the accommodating chamber 21. After the scheduled time arrives, the crushing component 23 starts working under the drive of the driving mechanism 11, and drives the water in the accommodating chamber 21 to form a vortex. The drainage plate drains the water in the accommodating chamber 21 into the hopper 41, so that the center of gravity of the hopper 41 is offset and flipped over, thereby realizing automatic material dropping, which solves the problem of the quality and taste of soy milk affected by long-term soaking of ingredients in traditional soymilk machines.

[0028] The hopper 41 is rotatably connected to the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2 around an axis P, and the axis P is higher than the center of gravity of the hopper 41 .

[0029] The hopper 41 can rotate around an axis P to preload the food to be put in. The position of the axis P is higher than the center of gravity, that is, the center of gravity is lower than the rotation axis, which means that the moment generated by gravity will make the container tend to return to the equilibrium position, ensuring that the hopper 41 still has good stability when it is empty or loaded with a certain amount of food.

[0030] When the hopper 41 is not loaded with food, its own mass distribution makes the center of gravity lower than the axis P. When a certain amount of food is put into the hopper 41, the overall center of gravity will rise due to the mass distribution of the food, but the center of gravity can still be kept below the axis P. As the soymilk maker works, the grinding component 23 drives the liquid in the accommodating chamber 21 to form a vortex, and guides the liquid into the hopper 41 through the drainage plate 42. As the liquid level inside the hopper 41 gradually rises, the mass of the combination of water and food increases and the center of gravity moves further upward. When the liquid level reaches a certain height, the center of gravity of the mixture of water and food in the hopper 41 will be higher than the axis P, thereby triggering the hopper 41 to flip due to the shift of the center of gravity, and automatically putting food into the accommodating chamber 21 for grinding and boiling.

[0031] A damping structure may also be added to the rotational connection between the hopper 41 and the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2, so that even if the center of gravity of the hopper 41 in an unloaded state is higher than the axis P, it can still maintain a relatively stable state until the guide plate 42 guides the liquid into the hopper 41 so that the center of gravity is significantly higher than the axis P, thereby breaking the stable state and causing the hopper 41 to flip over.

[0032] In the embodiment, the hopper 41 is arranged on the cup cover 3. Due to the dead weight of the hopper 41, when the cup cover 3 is artificially tilted in the front-back direction, the hopper 41 can always remain horizontal so that the food in the hopper 41 is not easy to spill.

[0033] The outer side wall of the hopper 41 is provided with a rotating shaft 411 , and the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2 is provided with a rotating shaft hole 5 matched with the rotating shaft 411 . The axis P is the axis of the rotating shaft 411 and the rotating shaft hole 5 .

[0034] The rotating shaft 411 is connected to the outer wall of the hopper 41 so that the hopper can rotate around the axis P. When the center of gravity of the food inside the hopper 41 is shifted due to the entry of liquid, the hopper 41 can smoothly flip along the rotating shaft 411, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the food. The rotating shaft hole 5 is provided on the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2, and is used to accommodate and fix the rotating shaft, so as to ensure that the hopper 41 can stably rotate around the axis P in a preset manner, and avoid shaking or jamming during the flipping process. A bearing can also be added at the connection between the rotating shaft 411 and the rotating shaft hole 5 to achieve a better rotation effect.

[0035] The upper portion of the hopper 41 is provided with a drainage port 412 , the drainage plate 42 is arranged at an angle, and the upper portion of the drainage plate 42 is connected to the drainage port 412 .

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in Example 1, the drainage port 412 serves as a passage for the liquid in the accommodating chamber 21 to enter the hopper 41. When the crushing assembly 23 is working, the stirred liquid is guided to the inside of the hopper 41 through the drainage port 412. The drainage plate 42 is arranged obliquely, and can guide the liquid in the accommodating chamber 21 to flow to the hopper 41 along the inclined surface of the drainage plate 42. The arrangement of the drainage port 412 and the drainage plate 42 can enable the liquid to flow into the hopper 41 accurately and directionally, which helps to control the liquid flow rate and speed, thereby more effectively changing the weight distribution in the hopper 41 and causing the hopper 41 to flip.

[0037] The guide plate 42 is further provided with a guide plate 421 , and the guide plate 421 and the guide plate 42 together form a guide channel 422 .

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in Example 2, the guide plate 421 cooperates with the drainage plate 42 to jointly construct the drainage channel 422, further optimizing the flow path of the liquid so that the liquid can enter the hopper 41 more concentratedly and smoothly, thereby ensuring the reliability of the automatic feeding process.

[0039] The hopper 41 is provided with a placement groove 43 , and the cross section of the placement groove 43 is C-shaped or V-shaped.

[0040] The cross section of the placement groove 43 is designed to be a C-shape or V-shape that is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, so that after the liquid enters the hopper 41, the overall mass distribution formed by mixing with the food will cause the center of gravity to be relatively high, making it easier to trigger the hopper 41 to flip due to the gravity of the liquid.

[0041] The hopper 41 includes a semi-cylindrical first shell 44 , with hemispherical crown-shaped second shells 45 connected to both ends of the shell. The hemispherical crown surfaces of the two second shells 45 and the semi-cylindrical surface of the first shell 44 together form a placement groove 43 .

[0042] The semi-cylindrical first shell 44 serves as the main bearing part of the placement slot, and the first shell 44 provides a large internal space to accommodate the food. Its semi-cylindrical design can ensure that the food is evenly distributed, and when the hopper 41 is turned over, the food can smoothly slide into the accommodating cavity 21. The hemispherical crown-shaped second shell 45 enhances the structural stability of the hopper 41, while reducing the dead zone at the edge, making it difficult for the food to accumulate in the corner, and also helps to reduce the possibility of the food overflowing from the edge of the hopper 41 during the placement process.

[0043] The cup cover 3 is provided with a feeding port 31 , and the feeding port 31 is arranged just above the placement groove 43 .

[0044] The provision of the feeding port 31 allows the user to directly feed the ingredients into the placement slot 43 of the hopper 41 through the feeding port 31, which is convenient for operation and control of the amount of ingredients added. At the same time, it avoids the cumbersome steps of the user having to open the entire soymilk machine to add ingredients, thereby improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0045] A first thickened portion 61 is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft 411 and the hopper 41. A second thickened portion 62 is provided at the connection between the cup cover 3 or the cup body 2 and the rotating shaft 411.

[0046] The first thickened portion 61 and the second thickened portion 62 can enhance the structural strength and stability of the connection between the rotating shaft 411 and the hopper 41, ensuring that when the hopper 41 is flipped to put food in, the torque caused by the weight of the food and the liquid pressure can be effectively transmitted and supported, avoiding damage caused by uneven force or weak structure.

[0047] The base 1 is also provided with a control panel 7 .

[0048] Through the settings of the control panel 7, the user can set and adjust various functional parameters of the soybean milk maker such as the reservation time, thereby realizing the reservation function of the soybean milk maker.

[0049] In the embodiment, the cup body 2 is provided with a handle assembly, and the handle assembly has a safety switch. The handle assembly provides a stable and comfortable hand-holding position, which is convenient for the user to lift, move and pour the liquid in the cup body 2. The setting of the safety switch can prevent accidental injuries caused by misoperation.

[0050] The specific usage of the soymilk machine is as follows:

[0051] When the user wants to reserve soybean milk, first clean the soybeans or other grains, and then put the appropriate amount of dry beans or mixed ingredients into the hopper 41 of the soybean milk machine through the feeding port 31 according to personal taste and the capacity requirements of the soybean milk machine. Connect the power supply and set the reservation time on the control panel 7 to ensure that the reservation time matches the time when the user expects to make soybean milk. At the same time, the appropriate grinding mode and heating program can also be selected. Finally, add clean water that does not exceed the highest water level line into the accommodating chamber 21 of the soybean milk machine, and close the cup cover 3.

[0052] After the scheduled time arrives, the soymilk machine starts, and the machine starts working according to the preset program. The drive motor in the base 1 starts, and drives the blade of the crushing assembly 23 to move through the output shaft. The clean water in the accommodating chamber 21 forms a vortex with a low center and high surroundings under the stirring of the blade. The clean water at the edge of the vortex enters the hopper 41 through the drainage channel 422 formed by the guide plate 421 and the drainage plate 42. As the clean water continues to enter the placement groove 43, which is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, the center of gravity of the hopper 41 continues to move upward until the center of gravity of the hopper 41 is higher than the axis P. The torque generated by gravity will cause the hopper 41 to tilt around the rotating axis toward the center of gravity. As the hopper 41 tilts, the food in the hopper 41 falls from the placement groove 43 into the accommodating chamber 21. The blade continues to rotate, thereby grinding the food, and the food is boiled by the heating element until the soymilk is made for the user to drink.

[0053] The automatic feeding function of the utility model is not limited to soybean milk machines, but can also be applied to wall breaking machines, juicers and other food processing equipment. For example, it can be applied to coffee machines to automatically feed coffee beans in a fixed amount; when boiling soups or making pasta, ingredients can be automatically added according to different stages of the cooking process.
