Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment, in particular to a food material temporary storage and delivery device. Background Art

[0002] Restaurants often involve the production process of cooking by portion, such as noodles, dumplings, etc. The traditional cooking method is to put the ingredients in one portion at a time, and then manually fish them out after cooking for subsequent production processes. There are also structures such as boiling baskets and frying baskets to hold ingredients. Multiple portions of ingredients are connected to the boiling basket and frying basket and put into the cooking pot at the same time for boiling and frying. After cooking, they are fished out individually or in batches. At present, there are some automatic boiling and fishing equipment. For example, a Chinese patent (publication number: CN113455932A) discloses a fully automatic cooking equipment for fried food, which is equipped with multiple frying baskets and can fry and cook multiple groups of food at the same time. The cooking process is performed according to the set program, the required cooking time and the cooking process.

[0003] However, the solutions in the prior art mostly focus on the automation of the cooking process, but are lacking in the process of adding ingredients before cooking. A Chinese patent (publication number: CN 213787044 U) discloses a feeding mechanism and a cooking machine, which are provided with a storage unit and a driving unit. The storage unit is provided with a plurality of storage grids. The storage grids are through holes that penetrate the storage unit. The bottom of the through holes is blocked by a pad. The ingredients in the storage grids are temporarily supported by the pad. When the pad and the storage unit move together to above the discharge port, the relative rotation of the pad and the storage grid is used to make the ingredients in the storage unit fall and be discharged. During the feeding process, the relative rotation of the pad and the storage grid will cause the carried food to rotate with the pad, so that the inner wall of the storage grid through hole will push the food down. This process is suitable for loose food such as vegetables and seasonings, but is not suitable for soft food such as fresh noodles and freshly made dumplings that are easy to stick together. During the relative rotation of the pad and the storage grid, the food is blocked by the inner wall of the storage grid and separated from the pad, which will cause the soft food such as fresh noodles and freshly made dumplings to be squeezed against the inner wall of the storage grid, causing damage to the food. At the same time, for the storage grid far away from the feeding port, the relative sliding distance between the food and the pad is longer, and the squeezing process and friction time of the food are longer. After the food is damaged, it will adhere to the pad, the inner wall of the storage grid and the gap between the pad and the storage grid, causing the equipment to rotate stagnate, making it difficult to meet the needs of temporary storage and feeding of food.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a food temporary storage and delivery device in response to the defects of the prior art, which uses a flexible pad at the bottom of the storage compartment included in the storage bin to support the food, and one end of the flexible pad is fixed. After rotating to the feeding port position, the non-fixed free end can droop to form a rotation around the fixed end, simulating the flipping process of manually delivering food, reducing the relative sliding of the food and the pad during the temporary storage, movement and delivery process to reduce damage, improve delivery efficiency, ensure the integrity of the food, and meet cooking needs.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage bin is rotatably connected to the frame and is located above the bottom plate. A driving element is connected below the bottom plate of the frame, and the driving element passes through the bottom plate through a transmission element to connect to the turntable.

[0012] Furthermore, the gasket is in the shape of a fan ring, and one end of the gasket passes under the containing compartment and extends along the axial direction of the rotating disk, and then fits against the side wall of another adjacent containing compartment and is fixed.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding opening is distributed below the running track of the containing grid, and the feeding opening is in a fan ring shape matching the bottom opening of the containing grid.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a food material temporary storage and delivery device is provided.

[0032] During the automatic delivery of food 10, soft food 10 such as fresh noodles and freshly made dumplings are easily squeezed by the storage structure of the delivery device, resulting in damage to the food 10. The delivery structure of food 10 traditionally used in cooking equipment such as cooking machines cannot be re-used, resulting in difficulty in delivering soft and sticky food 10 such as fresh noodles and freshly made dumplings. Based on this, this embodiment provides a temporary storage delivery device for food; the pad 6 is used to support the food 10 and flip it down at the delivery port to simulate the flipping process of manually delivering the food 10, and the relative sliding of the food 10 and the pad 6 is reduced during the temporary storage, movement and delivery process to reduce damage, improve delivery efficiency, ensure the integrity of the food 10, and meet cooking needs.

[0033] like Figure 1As shown, the food temporary storage and delivery device mainly includes a frame 1 and a storage bin 2. The storage bin 2 is installed on the frame 1. The frame 1 provides support for the storage bin 2 and provides a feeding port 4.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the storage bin 2 includes a rotating disk 5 and a plurality of storage compartments 7 distributed circumferentially around the rotating disk 5. The storage bin 2 is a disc-shaped structure, and the storage compartments 7 can temporarily store food materials 10 to be put in. The storage bin 2 is connected to a frame 1, and the frame 1 is used to support the storage bin 2 to set up the storage bin 2, and a space for the food materials 10 to fall is formed under the storage bin 2.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 is provided with a groove 3 for accommodating the storage bin 2, and the groove 3 is rotatably connected to the storage bin 2. The groove 3 is cylindrical with an open top, and a fan-shaped feeding port 4 is provided at the edge of the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3, which is used to discharge the food 10 corresponding to the feeding port 4 in the storage bin 2 downward and put it into the external cooking equipment. Figure 2 As shown, the storage bin 2 rotates around its axis to change the relative positions of the containing compartment 7 and the feeding port. The feeding port 4 is located below the rotational motion trajectory of the containing compartment 7. The feeding port 4 is in a fan-shaped ring that matches the bottom opening of the containing compartment 7. When a certain containing compartment 7 of the storage bin 2 rotates to above the feeding port 4, the bottom of the containing compartment 7 can be opened, and the containing compartment 7 is connected to the feeding port 4, so that the food 10 in the containing compartment 7 passes through the feeding port 4 and falls out.

[0036] A driving element 18 can be arranged under the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3. The output end of the driving element 18 passes through the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3 and is connected to the storage bin 2, so that the storage bin 2 can rotate. In order to facilitate the output end to be connected to the storage bin 2, the driving element 18 is connected to a transmission element 19, and a transmission hole for the transmission element 19 to pass through is provided on the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3.

[0037] Of course, what is described here is the form of arranging the driving element 18 below the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3. In other optional embodiments, the location of the driving element 18 can be configured according to the needs, such as being set above the groove 3, and the output end of the driving element 18 is located above the storage bin 2 and connected to the storage bin 2 through the transmission element 19 to drive the storage bin 2 to rotate. The driving element 18 can also be arranged at a side position, and the output end drives the storage bin 2 to rotate through the transmission element 19, and the transmission element 19 is distributed across the radius of the storage bin 2. The driving element 18 can be an electric driving element 18 such as a stepping motor, a servo motor, etc., and the transmission element 19 can be a combination of gears and pins.

[0038] The structure of the storage bin 2 is disc-shaped, including a turntable 5 and a plurality of containing cells 7 distributed around the turntable 5. The turntable 5 rotates to cooperate with the bottom plate 20, and a flexible liner 6 is provided at the bottom of the containing cell 7. Along the rotation direction of the storage bin 2, the downstream end of the liner is fixed to the side wall of the containing cell 7, and the upstream end of the liner is a free end 11. The liner fits the bottom plate 20 at a position other than the feeding port 4 to block the bottom opening of the containing cell 7, and the liner hangs down at the feeding port 4 and extends into the feeding port 4 to open the bottom opening of the containing cell 7.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of partitions 9 are connected to the outer circumferential surface of the turntable 5, and all the partitions 9 are spaced apart upward along the ring of the turntable 5. One end of the partition 9 is connected to the turntable 5, and the other end is connected to the outer ring cylinder 8. The outer ring cylinder 8 is a cylindrical structure and is arranged coaxially with the turntable 5. The partitions 9 are used to connect the outer ring cylinder 8 and the turntable 5 to maintain the relative position of the outer ring cylinder 8 and the turntable 5 so that the structure remains stable.

[0040] The annular space between the outer ring cylinder 8 and the rotating disk 5 is divided into a plurality of containing cells 7 by a plurality of partitions 9, that is, X partitions 9 divide the annular space into X containing cells 7 distributed in sequence along the annular direction. The top of each containing cell 7 is open, and the side walls of the containing cells 7 are composed of the side surfaces of adjacent partitions 9 and the inner wall segments of the outer ring cylinder 8 and the outer wall segments of the rotating disk 5 between the adjacent partitions 9. The bottom surface of the containing cell 7 is blocked by a gasket 6, and the bottom of the gasket 6 is attached to the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3. The gasket 6 blocks the bottom of the containing cell 7 within the range of the non-feeding port 4. The gasket 6 can move with the containing cell 7 and rotate around the axis of the rotating disk 5 as a whole to change its position. The gasket 6 can carry food 10.

[0041] When the containing grid 7 is moved to the position of the feeding port 4 , the liner 6 falls down on the upstream side relative to the rotation direction, thereby opening the bottom of the containing grid 7 , so that the material carried on the liner 6 falls into the feeding port 4 .

[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the partition 9 can be distributed along the radial direction of the turntable 5, and the partition 9 can also be distributed at an angle with the normal direction where it is connected to the turntable 5. The partition 9 mainly plays the role of separating adjacent containing cells 7, driving the liner 6 to move, and maintaining the stability of the storage bin 2 structure. In this embodiment, the partition 9 is arranged along the radial direction of the turntable 5 to facilitate matching the liner 6 structure to form a fan-shaped ring-shaped containing cell 7 with a regular shape.

[0043] The height of the partition 9 along the axial direction of the rotating disk 5 depends on the size of the food 10 temporarily stored in the storage compartment 7. When the food 10 temporarily stored in the storage compartment 7 is a food 10 whose position can be kept stable, such as fresh noodles, dumplings, etc., the height of the partition 9 can be relatively low, which can form a visual separation effect to facilitate the placement of food 10 in different storage compartments 7. When the food 10 temporarily stored in the storage compartment 7 is a food 10 that is not easy to keep stable, such as glutinous rice balls, red dates, etc., the height of the partition 9 can be relatively high, such as being set to be flush with the top of the rotating disk 5, to form a good physical separation effect, and prevent the food 10 in different storage compartments 7 from moving with each other.

[0044] It is understandable that all the partitions 9 can be evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotary disk 5, or can be unevenly distributed, such as Figure 1 As shown, 11 partitions 9 may be provided, and the 11 partitions 9 are evenly spaced and distributed in an upward direction along the rotating disk 5. In other optional embodiments, 9, 10 or other partitions 9 less than 11 may be provided, and 12, 13 or other partitions 9 greater than 11 may also be provided. The number of partitions 9 may be configured accordingly according to the volume of the single portion of food 10 carried, so that the volume of the accommodating compartment 7 formed between adjacent partitions 9 can meet the demand of accommodating a single portion of food 10.

[0045] In order to meet the needs of putting in mixed food 10, the partitions 9 can also be unevenly distributed on the turntable 5. For example, the central angle between one of the partitions 9 and the partition 9 on one side is set to α, and the central angle between the partition 9 and the partition 9 on the other side is set to β, and α≠β. The corresponding partitions 9 are unevenly distributed. On the basis of the same radial dimensions and different circumferential arc lengths of the containing grids 7, the volumes of the containing grids 7 formed between adjacent partitions 9 are different, which adapts to the needs of the mixed food 10 for different volumes of different containing grids 7.

[0046] A feeding pipe 17 connected to the feeding port 4 is provided on the bottom plate 20 . One end of the feeding pipe 17 is connected to the bottom plate 20 , and the other end of the feeding pipe 17 extends away from the bottom plate 20 .

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the gasket 6 is distributed in one-to-one correspondence with the containing grid 7, and the gasket 6 is in a fan-ring structure. The first edge 12 distributed radially corresponding to one end of the outer arc is connected to the partition 9, and the second edge 13 distributed radially corresponding to the other end of the outer arc is the free end 11. The partition 9 drags the gasket 6 to rotate around the axis of the turntable 5 to change the relative position with the feeding port 4.

[0048] When the partition 9 rotates in the circumferential direction and passes through the feeding port 4, the pad 6 dragged by the partition 9 falls under the action of the food 10 it carries. When the free end 11 of the pad 6 moves to the range of the feeding port 4, the pad 6 droops and rotates downward around the first edge 12 and approaches to being straight. The food 10 carried thereon is no longer supported by the pad 6, and falls into the feeding port 4 under the action of gravity, completing the feeding of the food 10.

[0049] In order to make the liner 6 fall smoothly, the liner 6 can be made of a flexible and smooth material, such as a flexible rubber sheet coated with polytetrafluoroethylene, or other materials that can meet the smooth falling effect. Figure 5 As shown, within the range of the non-drop-in port, the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3 is subjected to the bearing function, the bottom surface of the accommodating compartment 7 is kept blocked, and the food 10 is driven to rotate and adjust its position with the turntable 5; after rotating to the drop-in port position, it can smoothly droop to release the support for the food 10 and allow the food 10 to fall.

[0050] It is understandable that after the pad 6 droops, it will temporarily hang below the first side 12 and extend into the feeding port 4, so as to block one side of the feeding port 4, thereby preventing the food 10 from directly contacting the side wall of the feeding port 4 and causing adhesion when it has a horizontal initial velocity, and preventing the food 10 from deviating from the side of the feeding port 4.

[0051] The downstream end of the gasket 6 is fixed to the side of the partition plate 9 facing the corresponding receiving compartment 7 , and the edges of the gasket 6 not connected to the partition plate 9 extend to the outside of the receiving compartment 7 along the plane direction of the bottom plate 20 . The outer arc edge of the liner 6 is defined as the third edge 15, and the inner arc edge of the liner 6 is defined as the fourth edge 16. In order to improve the bearing effect of the liner 6 on the food 10 and reduce the problem of the food 10 leaking, falling or sticking from the gap between the liner 6 and the side wall of the containing compartment 7, for the liner 6 that is not in the range of the inlet, the first edge 12 of the liner 6 extends along the axial direction of the turntable 5 toward the top end face of the turntable 5 and is fixed to the partition 9, the second edge 13 of the liner 6 extends to between the two side surfaces of the other partition 9, the third edge 15 of the liner 6 extends to between the inner wall and the outer wall of the outer ring tube 8, and the fourth edge 16 of the liner 6 extends to the inner side wall of the outer wall of the turntable 5, so that the liner 6 covers the bottom range of the containing compartment 7 and eliminates the gap between the liner 6 and the containing compartment 7, thereby solving the problem of leakage, falling or sticking caused by the gap, improving the feeding accuracy, and reducing the problem of residue stuck in rotation.

[0052] In other optional embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, one end of the pad 6 passes under the storage compartment 7 and extends axially along the turntable 5, then fits against the side wall of another adjacent storage compartment 7 and is fixed; the first side 12 of the pad 6 can pass under the storage compartment 7 and extend, then be fixed to the side wall of another storage compartment 7, that is, the fixed end of the pad 6 passes through the partition 9 between the adjacent storage compartments 7 and is fixed to the side of the partition 9, and the pad 6 is pressed under the partition 9 to separate the partition 9 from the bottom plate 20 of the groove 3, so as to prevent the friction force from acting on the free end 11 of the pad 6 to cause the pad 6 to tilt and cause the food 10 to roll or shift during transportation; the second side 13 of the pad 6 contacts the other pad 6, because at this time the pad 6 maintains a good flush state under the constraint of the partition 9 and can remain stable during the rotational movement, thereby reducing the movement of the food 10 toward the second side 13, so that only the second side 13 needs to contact the area of ​​the fixed position of the other pad 6 to meet the shielding requirements, and can also ensure the stable transportation of the food 10. As shown Figure 6 As shown, the liner 6 is a flexible structure, the purpose is to be able to form a good supporting effect, and can be stably driven by the rotating partition 9. The comparison between the liner 6 drooping state and the state of supporting the food 10 is shown in FIG. Figure 6 shown.

[0053] In addition, a feeding pipe 17 connected to the feeding port 4 is provided on the bottom plate 20 to guide the food 10 falling from the feeding port 4. An identification element 14 is provided on the frame 1. The identification element 14 is used to obtain whether there is food 10 in the storage compartment 7 and send it to the controller. The identification element 14 is installed on the frame 1 on one side of the groove 3, and the identification area of ​​the identification element 14 faces the storage compartment 7. The identification element 14 can be an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor. The identification element 14 acts on the storage compartment 7 upstream of the feeding port 4. After the food 10 at the identification position is emptied, it means that all the food 10 of the entire storage bin 2 has been put in. The identification element 14 sends a signal to the controller, and the controller outputs a reminder message to remind the staff to add food 10.

[0054] An identification element 14 is provided to obtain the remaining status of the food 10 in the storage compartment 7, and can send the remaining status of the food 10 to the controller. After the food 10 in the storage compartment 7 is consumed, a signal is sent to the controller, and a warning reminder element connected to the controller sends a message to remind the food 10 to be added.

[0055] Combination Figure 1-Figure 6 , a working method using the above-mentioned food temporary storage and delivery device is given.

[0056] Using the food temporary storage and delivery device in Example 1 includes the following steps:

[0057] The food 10 to be put in is placed in the storage compartment 7 at the position other than the feeding port 4, and the storage bin 2 rotates to drive the food 10 to adjust its position relative to the feeding port 4;

[0058] When the containing compartment 7 carrying the food 10 rotates to above the feeding port 4, one end of the lining plate corresponding to the containing compartment 7 flips over and droops, and the carried food 10 falls into the feeding port 4;

[0059] Continue to rotate, so that the next storage compartment 7 carrying food 10 is rotated to above the feeding port 4 for feeding, and the storage compartment 7 with food 10 is rotated to a position other than the feeding port 4 and the lining plate is reset to the bottom of the storage compartment 7.

[0060] The food materials 10 are sequentially distributed in the containing cells 7 along the ring upward, and the storage bin 2 rotates in steps, and each step of rotation switches the containing cell 7 to which the feeding port 4 is connected.

[0061] Combined with Example 1 and Figure 1-Figure 6 , the working method of the above-mentioned food material 10 residual delivery device is explained.

[0062] Place the food 10 to be put in the storage compartment 7 at a position other than the feeding port 4. Then, start the driving element 18 to rotate the storage bin 2, driving the food 10 to adjust its position relative to the feeding port 4. When the storage compartment 7 carrying the food 10 rotates to the top of the feeding port 4, one end of the pad 6 will flip and droop, and the food 10 will smoothly fall into the feeding port 4. Then, the storage bin 2 continues to rotate, so that the next storage compartment 7 carrying the food 10 rotates to the top of the feeding port 4 for feeding. The storage compartment 7 that has been fed will rotate to a position other than the feeding port 4, and the pad 6 will be reset to the bottom of the storage compartment 7, waiting for the next feeding.

[0063] The step-by-step rotation method only switches the receiving compartment 7 connected to one feeding port 4 at a time, which can ensure the accuracy and order of the feeding of the food 10. At the same time, due to the flexible design and flipping action of the pad 6, the damage of the food 10 during the temporary storage, movement and feeding process will be greatly reduced, thereby improving the feeding efficiency and the integrity of the food 10.

[0064] In order to further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the delivery, an identification element 14 is provided to obtain information about whether there is food 10 in the containing compartment 7 and send the information to the controller. The controller controls the rotation of the driving element 18 according to the information, thereby realizing automatic delivery of food 10.

[0065] The working method of the food temporary storage and delivery device, by simulating the turning process of manually delivering the food 10, effectively reduces the damage of the food 10, improves the delivery efficiency, ensures the integrity of the food 10, and meets the cooking needs.

[0066] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
