[0032] 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.

[0033] Embodiment 1,

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 7 The utility model discloses an automatic feeding device, including a feeding seat 10 and a feeding assembly. A material storage piece 11 is provided on the feeding seat 10, and the material storage piece 11 has a discharge port 111. The feeding assembly is provided with a feeding piece 21 and a force-bearing piece 22. The feeding piece 21 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the discharge port 111, and can move closer to or away from the discharge port 111 when sliding to open or close the discharge port 111. The force-bearing piece 22 is used to drive the feeding piece 21 to slide when subjected to force.

[0035] On the basis of the above structure, during assembly, the feeding piece 21 can be slidably set on the inner wall of the discharge port 111, and then the feeding piece 21 can be connected to the force-bearing piece 22, so that the force-bearing piece 22 can drive the feeding piece 21 to slide when it is subjected to force. In this way, the feeding piece 21 can move closer to or away from the discharge port 111 during the sliding process, so that the discharge port 111 can be opened or closed.

[0036] Specifically, when the automatic feeding device in this embodiment is applied to a food processor, the automatic feeding device can be installed in a mixing cup 40 of a food processor, a blender, a food supplement machine, or other food processor that can mix and process food. When in use, the food that needs to be added later can be placed in the material storage part 11 in advance. Because water or other liquids are usually needed to be added for mixing and mixing when the device is running, when the device is mixing, the water flow in the mixing cup 40 during the mixing process will generate a vortex under the action of the mixing component 41 to form a water pressure impact in the mixing cup 40. After the feeding seat 10 is assembled to the mixing cup 40, the bottom of the mixing cup 40 is The force-bearing member 22 is extended into the mixing cup 40. Therefore, when the water flow in the mixing cup 40 rotates at a high speed, the water pressure formed can impact the force-bearing member 22 extended into the mixing cup 40. When the force-bearing member 22 is impacted by the water pressure, it can swing upward to drive the feeding member 21 to slide, thereby opening the discharge port 111. At this time, the ingredients in the storage member 11 can automatically fall into the mixing cup 40, realizing automatic feeding of ingredients. The user does not need to wait all the time, saving time and effort, and there is no need to open the mixing cup 40 in the middle, thereby improving the mixing efficiency. At the same time, it also reduces the probability of impurities being brought into the mixing cup 40 due to opening in the middle and affecting the taste.

[0037] When the stirring action is finished, the force on the force-bearing member 22 disappears. At this time, the force-bearing member 22 is reset downward due to gravity. During its reset process, it can apply a pushing force to the feeding member 21 again to make the feeding member 21 slide close to the discharge port 111, thereby closing the discharge port 111; of course, after the stirring action is finished, when the user takes out the cooked food, he needs to remove the feeding seat 10 to pour out the food. At this time, the user can check whether the feeding member 21 is reset. If it is not reset normally, the user can help it reset by himself so that the feeding member 21 closes the discharge port 111 again. The whole process will not affect the stirring operation.

[0038] In another installation method, one end of the force-bearing member 22 can be connected to the outer periphery of the storage member 11 through a connecting member such as a rotating shaft or an elastic member, and the other end of the force-bearing member 22 is connected to the feeding member 21, so that the force-bearing member 22 can rotate or stretch when subjected to force to drive the feeding member 21 to move away from the discharge port 111 to open the discharge port 111, and when the force disappears, it can automatically reset by rotating or restoring its own deformation, thereby driving the feeding member 21 to reset and close the discharge port 111.

[0039] It should be noted that the force-bearing member 22 can be a plate segment or a rod-shaped structure integrally formed on the feeding member 21, and is also connected to the feeding member 21 using a connecting member. When the two are assembled, the force-bearing member 22 can protrude from the end surface of the feeding member 21 so that it can extend into the mixing cup 40 to be impacted by the water flow.

[0040] Preferably, the force-bearing member 22 is a force-bearing plate arranged on the feeding member 21. During assembly, one end of the force-bearing plate can be rotatably installed on the outer periphery of the storage member 11, and the other end of the force-bearing plate is connected to the feeding member 21. The force-bearing plate can drive the feeding member 21 to slide when it rotates under force.

[0041] The feeding piece 21 in this embodiment is a force-bearing plate, so that the force-bearing area of ​​the force-bearing piece 22 is larger and it is easier to be impacted by the water flow, so that the force of the water flow after impacting the force-bearing piece 22 is greater, and it is easier to drive the feeding piece 21 to slide. During the specific assembly, one end of the force-bearing plate is installed on the outer periphery of the storage piece 11 through a rotating shaft or a torsion spring or other connecting parts, and the other end of the force-bearing plate can be connected to the feeding piece 21 by a connecting part such as a screw or an elastic part, so that the force-bearing plate can drive the feeding piece 21 to slide when it rotates under force, which is more labor-saving.

[0042] When assembling the feeding piece 21 and the storage piece 11, a slide groove and a slide bar can be respectively provided on the feeding piece 21 and the storage piece 11, or a slide rail 112 and pulleys can be respectively provided on both to make the two slidingly cooperate with each other, so that the feeding piece 21 can be slidably installed at the discharge port 111 of the storage piece 11.

[0043] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first slide groove 113 is provided on the material storage member 11, and a sliding portion 213 is provided on the feeding member 21. During assembly, the sliding portion 213 is slidably installed in the first slide groove 113 and slidably cooperates with the slide groove so that the sliding portion 213 can slide along the first slide groove 113.

[0044] Specifically, the sliding portion 213 may be formed by a roller, a slide, or a slider disposed on the feeding member 21 , and the first sliding groove 113 may be formed by a groove body or a guide rail disposed at the discharge port 111 .

[0045] Furthermore, a slide rail 112 is provided on the inner wall of the material storage member 11 , and the slide rail 112 is spaced apart from the end wall of the material discharge port 111 to form a first slide groove 113 .

[0046] During assembly, in this embodiment, a slide rail 112 is set on the inner wall of the storage member 11, and the slide rail 112 and the end wall of the discharge port 111 are spaced apart to form a spacing gap between the slide rail 112 and the end wall of the discharge port 111, thereby forming a first slide groove 113, and then the sliding part 213 is installed in the spacing gap so that the sliding part 213 and the slide rail 112 are slidably matched.

[0047] Specifically, the slide rail 112 may be integrally formed on the inner wall of the material storage member 11 , or may be installed on the inner wall of the material storage member 11 by welding or gluing.

[0048] Furthermore, a sliding sheet 211 and a protruding block are provided on the feeding piece 21. The protruding block forms a sliding portion 213. The sliding sheet 211 and the protruding block are vertically arranged and extend axially along the slide rail 112. The sliding sheet 211 can abut against the slide rail 112 when the sliding portion 213 slides with the first slide groove 113.

[0049] Specifically, the feeding piece 21 in this embodiment is formed by a raised block arranged on the feeding piece 21, and a sliding piece 211 is arranged on the feeding piece 21. During installation, the raised block can be installed parallel to the slide rail 112, and the sliding piece 211 is arranged perpendicular to the raised block, so that after the raised portion is installed on the slide rail 112, the sliding piece 211 can be perpendicular to the slide rail 112 and abut against the outer periphery of the slide rail 112. In this way, the feeding piece 21 is not easy to fall off the slide rail 112 during the sliding process because the sliding piece 211 always abuts against the outer periphery of the slide rail 112, and the structure is more stable.

[0050] It should be noted that the sliding sheet 211 and the protruding portion can be integrally formed on the feeding piece 21 , or can be formed on the feeding piece 21 by welding or gluing.

[0051] Furthermore, a second slide groove 222 is provided on the force-bearing plate, and a sliding rod 212 is provided on the feeding piece 21. The sliding rod 212 is passed through the second slide groove 222 and slidingly cooperates with the second slide groove 222. The sliding rod 212 is used for slidingly cooperating with the second slide groove 222 when the force-bearing plate rotates under force.

[0052] During the specific setting, the second slide groove 222 can be extended along the vertical direction of the force-bearing plate. Then, when the sliding rod 212 slides under the force of the force-bearing plate, it can drive the feeding piece 21 to slide along the vertical direction of the force-bearing plate. Because the radial length of the stirring cup 40 is usually shorter than the axial length, if the force-bearing plate directly drives the feeding piece 21 to move in the radial direction of the stirring cup 40, the force-bearing plate may hit the inner wall of the stirring cup 40 before the discharge port 111 is fully opened during the movement due to the limited radial length of the stirring cup 40, and the force-bearing plate cannot continue to move, so that the feeding piece 21 cannot fully open the discharge port 111. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second slide groove 222 is extended along the vertical direction of the force-bearing plate, so that when the sliding rod 212 slides under the force of the force-bearing plate, it drives the feeding piece 21 to slide along the vertical direction of the force-bearing plate, giving the force-bearing plate sufficient movement space so that the feeding piece 21 can fully open the discharge port 111.

[0053] In order to make the connection between the load-bearing plate and the material storage member 11 more stable, a connecting arm 221 is further provided on the load-bearing plate. The connecting arm 221 increases the connection area between the load-bearing plate and the material storage member 11 so that the two are not easy to fall off after being connected, and the structure is more stable.

[0054] During assembly, a through hole 114 is provided on the outer periphery of the material storage member 11 and a connecting rod 2211 is provided on the connecting arm 221, so that the connecting arm 221 can be rotatably inserted into the through hole 114 through the connecting rod 2211, thereby the two can be rotatably matched.

[0055] In addition, an opening 12 is provided on the feeding seat 10, and the opening 12 is connected with the material storage member 11 so that the user can put the food into the material storage member 11 through the opening 12, and a detachable cover 13 is also provided at the opening 12. After the food is put into the material storage member 11, the cover 13 can be connected to the opening 12 so that the cover 13 can cover the opening 12 to prevent external impurities from falling into the material storage member 11 and affecting the food. When the food needs to be replenished, the cover 13 can be removed, which makes it convenient for users to take and put the food, and the structure is practical.

[0056] It should be noted that the cover plate 13 can be installed at the opening 12 by means of a snap connection, a latch connection or a threaded connection, so that the cover plate 13 can be detachable.

[0057] The material storage piece 11 in the present embodiment is a material storage box arranged on the feeding seat 10. The specific material storage box is detachably installed on the end wall of the opening 12. During assembly, the force-bearing plate and the feeding piece 21 on the material storage box can be assembled with the material storage box first, and then assembled with the feeding seat 10 as a whole after the assembly is completed, which is convenient for the installation of accessories. The material storage cavity 115 is connected with the opening 12 by integrally forming or mechanically cutting in the material storage box, so that the food can be put into the material storage cavity 115 through the opening 12 for temporary storage. The structure is more practical.

[0058] Embodiment 2,

[0059] See also Figures 8 to 9 A food processor includes a base 30, a mixing cup 40 and an automatic feeding device. The feeding seat 10 is detachably mounted on the cup mouth of the mixing cup 40, and a mixing component 41 is provided on the base 30, and the mixing component 41 can mix the ingredients in the mixing cup 40.

[0060] On the basis of the above structure, during specific use, the feeding seat 10 in the automatic feeding device can be detachably installed on the cup mouth of the mixing cup 40. After assembly, the force-bearing member 22 can be extended into the mixing cup 40, and then the food in the mixing cup 40 can be stirred through the stirring assembly 41 in the base 30, so that the impact force of the liquid or water flow generated during the stirring process can push the force-bearing member 22, thereby driving the feeding member 21 to slide, so that the food can be automatically put into the mixing cup 40 during the cooking and stirring process of the food processor, which saves trouble and effort.

[0061] In addition, since the feeding seat 10 is connected to the cup mouth of the mixing cup 40 in a detachable manner, when the feeding member 21 and the force-bearing member 22 are faulty or damaged, they can be removed for maintenance at any time. Of course, the feeding seat 10 can also be removed at any time when it needs to be cleaned, which makes maintenance and cleaning more convenient.
