[0036] Popcorn is a kind of puffed popcorn made by putting corn, ghee and sugar into a popcorn machine. As a small snack, it is well-loved by people for its excellent appearance and taste. Popcorn is generally sold in public places such as shopping malls and cinemas. The existing popcorn is usually placed in an insulated cabinet after processing. When people need to buy it, the staff will put the popcorn from the insulated cabinet into the popcorn bucket; the popcorn in the insulated box will be attacked by moisture in the air and increase the chance of pollution due to frequent opening of the lid to take out the popcorn. Compared with the popcorn that has just been processed, there are certain differences in freshness and taste, so the operation of popcorn self-service vending machines is born.

[0037] In the process of cupping in the existing popcorn machine, a spiral push rod is usually used for automatic discharging. On the one hand, the discharging efficiency is low, and the user has to wait for too long. On the other hand, it is necessary to monitor the amount of popcorn in the cup, and the structure is relatively complicated; such as the application number: CN201911024992.0, such as the patent name: a fully automatic popcorn machine, which discloses that the lower end of the popcorn hopper is provided with a popcorn discharge rotating spring and a cup filling level meter, and the lower end of the popcorn discharge rotating spring is provided with a cup filling valve, and the cup filling level meter is electrically connected to the cup filling valve. The cup filling valve controls the opening and closing of the discharge port at the lower end of the popcorn discharge rotating spring through the feedback signal of the popcorn level meter, and the cup filling level meter is used to monitor the amount of popcorn in the popcorn cup below the popcorn discharge rotating spring. The structural shortcomings disclosed in the above patent are: when discharging popcorn, it is necessary to pass through the popcorn discharge rotating spring, the conveying efficiency is not high and it is easy to cause popcorn damage, and at the same time, the quantitative conveying of popcorn is relatively complicated. In addition, the oil and sugar in popcorn easily adhere to the popcorn feeding rotating spring, which is inconvenient to clean and maintain. After long-term use, it may cause bacteria to grow and cause video safety problems.

[0038] In view of the above problems, this application proposes a popcorn quantitative cup filling device, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 ,include:

[0039] A material distribution bin 1, used to contain processed popcorn, and a material distribution port 11 is provided on the material distribution bin 1;

[0040] The cup body 10 is located below the distributing bin 1 and is used to contain quantitatively distributed popcorn. The cup body 10 is staggered with the distributing opening 11;

[0041] The distributing component 2 is located above the cup body 10; the distributing component 2 can move between the distributing opening 11 and the cup body 10, so that the distributing opening 11 is sealed when the opening of the cup body 10 corresponds to the position of the distributing component 2, or the distributing opening 11 corresponds to the position of the distributing component 2 to quantitatively contain popcorn;

[0042] The guide 3 is arranged on the distribution bin 1 to guide the popcorn in the distribution bin 1 to enter the distribution component 2 through the distribution opening 11. In the present application, the distribution component 2 moves to below the distribution opening 11, and the guide 3 is actuated to allow the popcorn to fall into the distribution component 2 through the distribution opening 11. The distribution component 2 moves to the opening of the cup body 10 and allows the popcorn to be filled into the cup body 10. At the same time, the distribution component 2 seals the distribution opening 11 to prevent the popcorn in the distribution bin 1 from falling. The popcorn quantitative cup filling device of the present application can quickly fill the popcorn into the cup body 10, thereby improving the transport efficiency of the popcorn, greatly reducing the damage of the popcorn during the transport process, and improving the user experience.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the distribution bin 1 is a hollow columnar structure with a distribution opening 11 provided at the lower end surface. The guiding member 3 is a rotating mechanism, and the rotating mechanism includes a rotating member 31 disposed inside the distribution bin 1 and a rotating driving member 32 disposed at the lower end of the distribution bin 1. The output end of the rotating driving member 32 extends into the distribution bin 1 and is connected to the rotating member 31. When the distribution opening 11 corresponds to the distribution assembly 2, the rotating driving member 32 drives the rotating member 31 to rotate, so that the popcorn quickly enters the distribution assembly 2 through the distribution opening 11. The rotating member 31 is a horizontal rod (not marked in the figure) and vertical rods (not marked in the figure) spaced apart on the horizontal rod. The output end of the rotating driving member 32 is connected to the horizontal rod, and the horizontal rod drives the vertical rods to rotate to achieve the function of rotating and stirring. The structure of the rotating member 31尽可能avoids damaging the popcorn during the stirring process. Of course, alternatively, the distribution bin 1 is a hollow cubic structure or a hollow columnar structure, and an inclined guiding surface (i.e., the guiding member 3) is provided at the lower end of the cube to facilitate the popcorn in the distribution bin 1 to enter the distribution assembly 2. A filtering hole 13 for screening uncompletely popped popcorn or corn kernels is provided on the lower end surface of the distribution bin 1, and a recycling box 14 is provided below the filtering hole 13. During the rotation of the rotating member 31, the uncompletely popped popcorn or corn kernels can be driven to the recycling box 14 to improve the quality of the popcorn in the distribution bucket 21.

[0044] Further, a baffle 4 is provided below the distribution bin 1, and an accommodating space is formed between the baffle 4 and the distribution bin 1 for installing the distribution assembly 2. In the embodiment of the present application, a connecting plate 12 for installing the baffle 4 is provided below the distribution bin 1. The horizontal plane of the connecting plate 12 is screwed and fixed to the lower end surface of the distribution bin 1. A first communication hole 121 adapted to the distribution opening 11 is provided on the horizontal plane of the connecting plate 12 for the popcorn to enter the distribution assembly 2. The connecting plate 12 is a U-shaped plate (i.e., the cross-section of the connecting plate 12 is U-shaped). The baffle 4 includes a sealing plate 41 located directly below the distribution opening 11. The sealing plate 41 is an L-shaped plate, and a guiding plate 42 cooperating with the sealing plate 41 is provided along one side of the horizontal plane of the sealing plate 41. The guiding plate 42 is a U-shaped plate (i.e., the cross-section of the guiding plate 42 is U-shaped). The two side edges of the connecting plate 12 are screwed and fixed to the two side edges of the guiding plate 42. The vertical surface of the sealing plate 41 is bent 90 degrees towards the connecting plate 12 side and extended and then screwed and fixed to the two side edges of the guiding plate 42. The connecting plate 12, the sealing plate 41, and the guiding plate 42 are screwed together to form an accommodating space for accommodating the distribution assembly 2. Of course, in another embodiment of the present application, the sealing plate 41 and the guiding plate 42 can also be integrally formed.

[0045] Further, the distribution assembly 2 includes a distribution bucket 21 with openings at both the upper and lower ends. The distribution bucket 21 is used to quantitatively hold the popcorn in the distribution bin 1 and discharge the popcorn into the cup body 10. The baffle 4 seals the lower opening of the distribution bucket 21 when the distribution opening 11 corresponds to the distribution bucket 21.

[0046] When the distributing barrel 21 moves to the bottom of the distributing bin 1 and the upper opening of the distributing barrel 21 is aligned with the distributing opening 11, the guide 3 acts to guide the popcorn in the distributing bin 1 to fall into the distributing barrel 21, so that the popcorn can be quickly and quantitatively filled into the distributing barrel 21. As the distributing barrel 21 moves toward the side where the cup body 10 is located, the upper opening of the distributing barrel 21 is misaligned with the distributing opening 11. During this process, the sealing plate 41 seals the lower opening of the distributing barrel 21 until the lower opening of the distributing barrel 21 corresponds to the opening of the cup body 10, and the popcorn falls into the cup body 10 through the lower opening of the distributing barrel 21. In order to ensure that the popcorn in the distributing barrel 21 completely enters the cup body 10, the capacity of the distributing barrel 21 is not greater than the capacity of the cup body 10; the distributing barrel 21 is used to transfer the popcorn in the distributing bin 1 to the cup body 10, so that the quantitative distributing of popcorn can be quickly realized, and the structure is simple. It should be noted that when the cup body 10 and the dispensing component 2 are in corresponding positions, the dispensing component 2 seals the dispensing port 11. At this time, the dispensing barrel 21 is located directly above the cup body 10, that is, when the popcorn in the dispensing barrel 21 falls into the cup body 10 through the lower end opening of the dispensing barrel 21, the dispensing component 2 seals the dispensing port 11 at the same time; similarly, when the dispensing port 11 and the dispensing component 2 are in corresponding positions, the dispensing component 2 quantitatively contains popcorn. At this time, the dispensing barrel 21 is located directly below the dispensing port 11, and the popcorn in the dispensing bin 1 falls into the dispensing barrel 21 through the dispensing port 11. Since the capacity of the dispensing barrel 21 is limited, quantitative filling of popcorn is achieved.

[0047] Furthermore, a drop opening 43 is provided on the baffle plate 4, and the drop opening 43 is adapted to the opening of the cup body 10, and the drop opening 43 is staggered with the distribution opening 11; when the distribution barrel 21 moves from the distribution opening 11 to the drop opening 43, the baffle plate 4 seals the lower end opening of the distribution barrel 21.

[0048] The drop opening 43 is arranged on the horizontal plane of the guide plate 42 and is located directly above the cup body 10. When the lower end opening of the distributing barrel 21 is aligned with the drop opening 43, the popcorn falls from the lower end of the distributing opening 11 into the cup body 10 through the drop opening 43. The setting of the drop opening 43 guides and converges the popcorn, making the position where the popcorn falls more accurate and reducing the waste in the process of quantitative distributing of popcorn. The staggered drop opening 43 and the distributing opening 11 enable the distributing barrel 21 to realize quantitative filling and quantitative transportation of popcorn during the movement, thereby realizing quantitative distributing of popcorn in the cup body 10.

[0049] Furthermore, the material distribution component 2 also includes a material distribution drive 22 and a material distribution transmission 23, one end of the material distribution transmission 23 is connected to the side wall of the material distribution barrel 21, and the other end of the material distribution transmission 23 is connected to the end of the material distribution drive 22, and the material distribution drive 22 drives the material distribution barrel 21 to reciprocate between the material distribution port 11 and the drop port 43 through the material distribution transmission 23 to achieve quantitative packaging of popcorn; the material distribution transmission 23 can adopt a crank rocker mechanism, a gear rack mechanism, or a ball screw transmission, and the material distribution drive 22 can be selected according to the structural adaptability of the material distribution transmission 23; alternatively, a linear motor can also be used to achieve the linear reciprocating motion of the material distribution barrel 21.

[0050] Furthermore, the material distributing assembly 2 further comprises a sealing member 24 , and the sealing member 24 moves synchronously with the material distributing barrel 21 , so as to seal the material distributing opening 11 when the position of the material distributing barrel 21 corresponds to the position of the material dropping opening 43 .

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the upper end opening of the distributing barrel 21 extends to the circumferential side to form a synchronous member 25, which is in the shape of a plate and is provided with a second connecting hole 251 adapted to the distributing port 11. The end face of the synchronous member 25 is flush with the upper end opening of the distributing barrel 21, and the sealing member 24 is arranged close to one side of the distributing barrel 21 and is screwed to the synchronous member 25; the arrangement of the synchronous member 25 ensures that the sealing member 24 can synchronously seal the distributing port 11 during the movement of the distributing barrel 21 toward the side where the cup body 10 is located, so as to prevent popcorn from falling from the distributing port 11 to other places outside the distributing barrel 21; the sealing member 24 in this embodiment includes a sealing box 241 with an upper end opening, and the sealing box 241 is screwed and fixed to the lower end of the synchronous member 25, A sealing block 242 and an elastic member (not shown in the figure) for elastically supporting the sealing block 242 are provided in the sealing box 241; when the upper end opening of the distributing barrel 21 is aligned with the distributing port 11, the upper end surface of the sealing block 242 contacts the lower end surface of the connecting plate 12 under the action of the elastic member, and when the lower end opening of the distributing barrel 21 is aligned with the drop port 43, the upper end surface of the sealing block 242 seals the distributing port 11 under the action of the elastic member; further, the edge of the sealing block 242 is provided with a chamfer, and the chamfer setting facilitates the sealing block 242 to enter the distributing port 11 or detach from the distributing port 11, and also better enables the sealing block 242 to contact the opening edge of the distributing port 11, thereby improving the sealing effect and preventing moisture from entering and affecting the edible taste of popcorn. Of course, alternatively, the sealing member 24 is not required and the second connecting hole 251 adapted to the dispensing opening 11 is not provided on the synchronous member 25. When the dispensing barrel 21 moves toward the side where the cup body 10 is located, the synchronous member 25 seals the dispensing opening 11.

[0052] Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, a guide assembly 26 is provided on the side of the material distribution barrel 21 to guide the material distribution barrel 21 to move in a directional manner between the material distribution port 11 and the material drop port 43. The guide assembly 26 includes guide rods 261 located on both sides of the material distribution barrel 21, guide blocks 262 slidably arranged on the guide rods 261, and the upper ends of the guide blocks 262 are connected to the connecting member 27, and the connecting member 27 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting plate 12. The connecting member 27 is provided with a third opening corresponding to the upper end opening of the material distribution barrel 21. The connecting hole 271 and the fourth connecting hole 272 corresponding to the second connecting hole 251; when the material distribution drive member 22 drives the material distribution barrel 21 to move through the material distribution transmission member 23, the connecting member 27 cooperates with the guide assembly 26 to synchronously drive the material distribution barrel 21 and the sealing member 24 to move through the synchronous member 25; the sealing member 24 is screwed to the lower end of the synchronous member 25, and when the sealing block 242 is misaligned with the material distribution port 11, the upper end surface of the sealing block 242 enters the second connecting hole 251 and the fourth connecting hole 272. Of course, it can be replaced by removing the connecting member 272, and the guide block 262 can be directly fixed to the lower end of the connecting plate 12.

[0053] Furthermore, a guide member 5 is provided at the lower end of the drop opening 43. The guide member 5 is annular, and the inner diameter of the guide member 5 gradually decreases along the falling direction of the popcorn. The peripheral side of the guide member 5 is fixed to the lower end of the guide plate 42 by screwing. The upper opening size of the guide member 5 is not less than the opening size of the drop opening 43, and the lower opening size of the guide member 5 is not greater than the opening size of the cup body 10; preferably, the upper opening size of the guide member 5 is the same as the upper opening size of the drop opening 43, and the lower opening size of the guide member 5 is slightly smaller than the opening size of the cup body 10, so as to avoid popcorn accumulation at the guide member 5. The guide member 5 is provided at the lower end surface of the drop opening 43, which plays a role of guiding and converging, and is conducive to the popcorn in the distributing barrel 21 to quickly and accurately enter the cup body 10.

[0054] Furthermore, a drying device 6 is provided on one side of the sub-bin 1, and an outlet of the drying device 6 is communicated with the sub-bin 1 to dry the popcorn in the sub-bin 1. The sub-bin 1 is provided with a temperature sensor.
