The discharge port of the rice hopper 10 is connected to the input port of the feeding funnel 30. A required rice weight value is set by the weight sensor 20. When the amount of rice discharged reaches the set value, the rice stops being discharged and the rice is discharged to the feeding funnel 30. The rice hopper 10 and the feeding funnel 30 are both installed at the outlet of the rice discharged by the rice steaming device 60. The outlet of the rice discharged by the rice steaming device 60 is provided with a mounting seat 40 for the feeding funnel 30. The position of the mounting seat 40 and the rice steaming device 60 is adjustable. The mounting seat 40 is provided with a mounting hole, and the feeding funnel 30 is sleeved with the mounting hole. The upper end of the feeding funnel 30 is extended with a first folded edge 31, and the diameter of the first folded edge 31 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. The feeding funnel 30 is limited by the first folded edge 31. The lower end of the feeding funnel 30 is extended with a collecting funnel 32, and the collecting funnel 32 is connected to the feeding funnel 30. The lower diameter of the collecting funnel 32 is smaller than the lower diameter of the feeding funnel 30, so that when the scattered rice enters the collecting funnel 32, it can be gathered into blocks, which is convenient for loading onto the dinner plate. The collecting funnel 32 forms an angle with the feeding funnel 30. When the rice needs to be delivered to the dinner plate, the collecting funnel 32 is inclined toward the dinner plate.

[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding funnel 30 is provided with a rotating mechanism 50. When the rice needs to be fed to the dinner plate, the feeding funnel 30 is rotated by the rotating mechanism 50 so that the collecting funnel 32 is tilted toward the dinner plate. When the rice is not needed or there is surplus rice, the feeding funnel 30 is rotated by the rotating mechanism 50 so that the collecting funnel 32 is tilted toward the spare plate. The rotating mechanism 50 includes a synchronous belt 51 and a rotating cylinder 52. The synchronous belt 51 is sleeved with the rotating cylinder 52 and the feeding funnel 30. The synchronous belt 51 is driven by the rotating cylinder 52 to rotate. The movement causes the feeding funnel 30 to rotate. A ring 53 is provided at the position where the synchronous belt 51 is installed on the feeding funnel 30. The ring 53 is located at the lower part of the mounting hole of the mounting seat 40 and is close to the bottom of the mounting seat 40. The ring 53 is fixedly connected to the feeding funnel 30. The synchronous belt 51 is sleeved on the outside of the ring 53. A second folded edge 54 is provided at the lower part of the ring 53. The synchronous belt 51 is limited by the cooperation of the second folded edge 54 and the mounting seat 40. The outer wall of the ring 53 is provided with teeth 55 arranged evenly spaced to increase the friction of the synchronous belt 51.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the utility model proposes a rice container feeding funnel, comprising a rice hopper 10 and a weight sensor 20. The rice hopper 10 is used to store the rice discharged by the rice steaming device 60, and the weight sensor 20 is used to weigh the rice discharged by the rice steaming device 60. The discharge port of the rice hopper 10 is connected to the input port of the feeding funnel 30. A required rice weight value is set by the weight sensor 20. When the amount of rice discharged reaches the set value, the rice stops being discharged and is discharged to the feeding funnel 30. The rice is transported to the corresponding position of the dinner plate by the feeding funnel 30, and the degree of automation is high.

[0028] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and these all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
