DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides an automatic juice dosing machine, which includes: a supporting shell 12, a sealed tank 2 arranged on the supporting shell 12, the sealed tank 2 is used to store raw materials, and the top can be opened; an air pump 7 fixedly installed on the supporting shell 12, the output end of the air pump 7 is connected with the inside of the sealed tank 2 through an air inlet 21 on the sealed tank 2, and the air inlet 21 is arranged near the upper end of the inside of the sealed tank 2; a discharge port 3 arranged on the supporting shell 12, the discharge port 3 is connected with the bottom of the sealed tank 2 through a feeding pipe 4; a liquid level meter 5 arranged on the supporting shell 12 for detecting the liquid level at the top of the feeding pipe 4; a controller 1 arranged on the supporting shell 12 and connected to the air pump 7, and the liquid level meter 5 is connected to the controller 1.
[0026] It should be noted that the controller 1 may be a single chip microcomputer.
[0027] The utility model sets the discharge amount through the controller 1. When the quantitative discharge is started, the controller 1 controls the air pump 7 to operate. The air pump inputs air into the sealed tank 2 through the air inlet 21. When the air pressure of the internal air continues to increase, the raw materials inside will flow into the feeding pipe from the discharge port. When the raw materials reach the top of the feeding pipe 4, the liquid level meter 5 detects that the raw materials have reached the top and will be discharged from the discharge port 3. At this time, the controller 1 controls the air pump to continue to inflate through the set quantitative value, and records the inflation time in real time. The volume of the inflation can be converted through the inflation time and the flow value of the air pump 7. When the volume of the inflation reaches the quantitative value, the controller 1 controls the air pump 7 to stop inflating, and the raw materials will also stop outputting. Since the air pump 7 stops working, the raw materials stay at the highest position or lower than the highest position of the discharge port under the action of the external atmospheric pressure and the air pressure inside the sealed tank. The above operation process will be repeated when the quantitative start is started next time. The utility model utilizes air pressure to press out the juice to avoid clogging caused by pulp or fruit particles, and solves the problem that the prior art liquid pump does not support the use of juice with pulp (such as orange juice) or fruit particles (such as passion fruit juice). When using the juice, the pulp must be filtered out first to avoid clogging the pump, thus affecting the efficiency and taste.
[0028] like Figure 2As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the output end of the air pump 7 is connected to the first end of the first air inlet pipe 6, the second end of the first air inlet pipe 6 is connected to the air inlet 21, and the output end of the air pump 7 is connected to the inside of the sealed can 2 through the first air inlet pipe 6. The input end of the air pump 7 is connected to the air inlet pipe 8, and the air inlet pipe 8 is connected to clean air, which is convenient for inputting clean air into the sealed can 2 to ensure food safety.
[0029] Furthermore, an air filter device for filtering the input air is provided on one end of the air inlet pipe 8 away from the air pump 7. The air filter device is a prior art and will not be described in detail here. By providing the air filter device, impurities in the air can be filtered out to ensure food safety.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the first end of the feed pipe 4 is connected to the discharge port 3, and the second end of the feed pipe 4 is connected to the middle discharge port 22 on the sealed tank 2, and the middle discharge port 22 is arranged near the bottom of the sealed tank 2. In this way, the juice inside the sealed tank 2 can be pressed into the feed pipe 4 through the middle discharge port 22, and then discharged through the discharge port 3. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the feed pipe 4 can be set according to the particle size of the pulp and fruit particles, so that large-particle fruit pulp or fruit particles can be passed.
[0031] Specifically, the upper end of the sealed can 2 is provided with an opening, and the opening is provided with a cover plate, which covers the opening and is detachably mounted on the opening, so that it is convenient to open the top of the sealed can 2 and add materials into the sealed can 2.
[0032] Specifically, one side of the cover plate is rotatably mounted on one side of the opening, and the other side of the cover plate is engaged with the other side of the opening. The other side of the cover plate can also be mounted on the opening by bolts. In this way, the top of the sealed can 2 can be opened.
[0033] In another embodiment, the cover plate can be closed on the opening by means of threads.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to be able to break the raw materials inside the sealed can 2 , the automatic juice dosing machine also includes: a wall breaking mechanism for breaking the raw materials inside the sealed can 2 .
[0035] like Figure 4As shown, specifically, the wall-breaking mechanism includes a transmission shaft 11 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the sealed tank 2, the transmission shaft 11 is arranged through the bottom of the sealed tank 2, a wall-breaking stirring blade 10 is arranged on the transmission shaft 11, and a stirring motor 9 is also arranged at the bottom of the sealed tank 2, and the output end of the stirring motor 9 is connected to the transmission shaft 11; and the stirring motor 9 is connected to the controller 1. The controller 1 is used to control the stirring motor 9 to start rotating. The stirring motor 9 can be fixedly mounted on the sealed tank 2 by bolts. The specific structure of the wall-breaking stirring blade 10 can be set as needed. The wall-breaking stirring blade 10 can be set as an O-type structure, and the middle position is fixedly mounted on the transmission shaft 11. Of course, the wall-breaking stirring blade 10 can also be made into other shapes as needed. By setting the wall-breaking mechanism, the controller 1 controls the wall-breaking mechanism to rotate at a high speed, and drives the wall-breaking stirring blade 10 through the transmission shaft 11 to realize the wall-breaking function of the raw material. The controller 1 can reduce the speed of the wall-breaking mechanism, and drive the wall-breaking stirring blade 10 through the transmission shaft 11 to realize the stirring function.
[0036] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, a timer is also provided inside the controller 1, and the timer is used to count down the operation of the air pump 7; the controller 1 is also configured to obtain the detection signal of the material delivery pipe 4 after the countdown of the air pump 7 is completed, and to determine whether there is a lack of material inside the sealed tank 2, and to send a prompt signal if there is a lack of material. Specifically, when the air pump 7 controls the timing, if within the set time, the sealed tank 2 obtains the detection signal of the material delivery pipe 4 to determine whether there is liquid flow, and if not, it is determined that there is a lack of material inside the sealed tank 2, and a prompt signal is sent, and the prompt signal can be a voice signal or an audio-visual signal, etc.
