[0044] Example 1

[0045] See Figure 1-5 As shown, the knife and fork discharging device is characterized in that it includes: a mounting seat 1, which is mounted on the self-service pizza machine body and has a first discharging slot 11 for passing the knife and fork box 7; a storage mechanism 2, which is mounted on the mounting seat 1 and is used to place the knife and fork box 7, and has a second discharging slot 21 for passing the knife and fork box 7 at the bottom; a push block 3, which is slidably mounted between the storage mechanism 2 and the mounting seat 1, and has a third discharging slot 31 for passing the knife and fork box 7; a driving mechanism 4, which is mounted on the mounting seat 1, and the output end is connected to the push block 3, and is used to push the push block 3 to slide between the storage mechanism 2 and the mounting seat 1.

[0046] The knife and fork discharging device of the utility model has a simple structure and reduces the use of belts and sensors compared with the prior art, thereby reducing production costs. When the second discharging trough 21 overlaps with the third discharging trough 31, the knife and fork box 7 falls from the storage mechanism 2 to the push block 3. When the third discharging trough 31 overlaps with the first discharging trough 11, the knife and fork box 7 passes through the mounting seat 1 from the push block 3 and falls to the delivery port of the pizza machine.

[0047] In a further specific embodiment, the storage mechanism 2 is provided with at least two storage chambers 22 , a partition 23 is provided between the two storage chambers 22 , and the bottoms of the two storage chambers 22 are respectively provided with the second discharge troughs 21 .

[0048] The driving mechanism 4 pushes the push block 3 to move between the two second discharge slots 21 in sequence. When the third discharge slot 31 overlaps with the closer second discharge slot 21, the cutlery box 7 at the bottom falls from the second discharge slot 21 to the third discharge slot 31 by gravity. The driving mechanism 4 pushes the push block 3 to drive the cutlery box 7 to move above the first discharge slot 11. When the third discharge slot 31 overlaps with the first discharge slot 11, the cutlery box 7 falls from the third discharge slot 31 through the first discharge slot 11 to the pizza machine outlet by gravity, completing the discharge of cutlery. The driving mechanism 4 continues to push the push block 3 to cross the first discharge slot 11 and move to the farther second discharge slot 21. When the third discharge slot 31 overlaps with another second discharge slot 21, the cutlery box 7 at the bottom falls from the second discharge slot 21 to the third discharge slot 31 by gravity. The driving mechanism 4 drives the push block 3 to move back and move to the top of the first discharge slot 11. When the third discharge slot 31 overlaps with the first discharge slot 11, the cutlery box 7 passes through the first discharge slot 11 from the third discharge slot 31 and falls to the pizza machine delivery port by gravity, and the cutlery is discharged again. Then it continues to move back and forth between the two second discharge slots 21 in turn, and the cutlery boxes 7 in the two storage chambers 22 are discharged respectively.

[0049] In a further specific embodiment, the material storage mechanism 2 includes a material storage rack 24 and a material storage door 25 . The material storage rack 24 is installed on the mounting base 1 and has the first discharge trough 11 at the bottom.

When the storage door 25 covers the storage rack 24, the limiting strip 251 extends into the storage rack 24, and the distance between the limiting strip 251 and the cutlery box 7 is less than 5 mm. The setting of the limiting strip 251 limits the cutlery box 7, so that the limiting strip 251 is arranged neatly so that it can smoothly fall from the second discharge chute 21 to the third discharge chute 31. To avoid the situation of material jamming, it should be noted that when replenishing the material, the utility model directly opens the storage door 25, places the cutlery box 7 into the storage rack 24, and then closes the storage door 25. The setting of the limiting strip 251 eliminates the need to sort the newly placed cutlery box 7 in the storage rack 24, thereby reducing sorting time.

[0053] In a further specific embodiment, a guide mechanism 5 is included, and the guide mechanism 5 includes a mounting frame 51 and a guide shaft 52 . Both ends of the guide shaft 52 are respectively mounted on the mounting frame 51 . The push block 3 is provided with a guide hole 32 , and the guide shaft 52 passes through the guide hole 32 .

[0054] The movement of the push block 3 is guided by the setting of the guide mechanism 5, so that the force required by the driving mechanism 4 to push the push block 3 is reduced, and the structure is simple and practical.

[0055] In a further specific embodiment, a limit mechanism 6 is included, and the limit mechanism 6 includes two limit switches 61 and a limit member 62. The limit member 62 is installed on one side of the push block 3, and the two limit switches 61 are respectively installed on the two end portions of the mounting base 1.
