DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.

[0049] Example 1

[0050] The hinge structure includes a damping member 300, wherein the damping member 300 has a first damping portion 310 and a second damping portion 320, and the first damping portion 310 and the second damping portion 320 can rotate relative to each other;

[0051] The first damping part 310 is fixed on the first component 100;

[0052] The second damping portion 320 is fixed to the hinge arm 210 of the second member 200;

[0053] When the second member 200 rotates relative to the first member 100 , the hinge arm 210 rotates, and at the same time, the second damping portion 320 rotates relative to the first damping portion 310 .

[0054] Specifically, the specific structures of the first component 100 and the second component 200 are not limited. For example, the first component 100 may be a cabinet body, and the second component 200 may be a cabinet door, and the cabinet door may be rotated relative to the cabinet body to open;

[0055] For example, Figure 6 As shown, the first component 100 may be a spice bin body, and the second component 200 may be a spice bin door; Figure 5 As shown, the first damping portion 310 and the second damping portion 320 are arranged in a non-cylindrical shape, and the cross-sectional shapes and / or sizes of the first damping portion 310 and the second damping portion 320 are different;

[0056] Here, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second damping part 320 is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the first damping part 310, and the cross-sectional areas of the first damping part 310 and the second damping part 320 are similar to the shape of the waist-shaped hole. The first damping part 310 and the second damping part 320 are coaxially installed. When rotating, the first damping part 310 is assumed to be stationary, and then the second damping part 320 rotates around the axis.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the first component 100 is a seasoning bin body, the second component 200 is a seasoning bin door, the first damping part 310 is fixed on the first component 100, the second end of the hinge arm 210 is limited by the second damping part 320, and the first end is fixed to the second component 200. When the second component 200 rotates, the second end of the hinge arm 210 drives the second damping part 320 to rotate around the axis of the damping member 300;

[0058] The hinge structure has a simple overall structure, few parts, and is easy to assemble. It is also easy to clean when used in a seasoning bin.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first component 100 is provided with a first mounting plate 110 and a second mounting plate 120, wherein the first mounting plate 110 is fixed to the first component 100, and the fixing method here can be any one of screw fixing, welding fixing, and integral molding;

[0060] The second mounting plate 120 is assembled on the first mounting plate 110. The first mounting plate 110, the second mounting plate 120 and the hinge arm 210 are stacked and assembled in the axial direction. When stacked and assembled, the first mounting plate 110 is located in the middle, the second mounting plate 120 is located on the first side of the first mounting plate 110, and the second end of the hinge arm 210 is located on the second side of the first mounting plate 110.

[0061] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting plate 110 is provided with a first mounting hole 111, and the second mounting plate 120 is provided with a second mounting hole 121. The shapes of the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121 are different, so that the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121 are axially superimposed to form a stepped hole; the shape of the second mounting hole 121 matches the shape of the first damping part 310, the second mounting hole 121 is a waist-shaped hole, and the first mounting hole 111 is a circular hole. The damping member 300 is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown, the second damping portion 320 is installed from left to right, passing through the second mounting hole 121 and then continuing to pass through the first mounting hole 111, and the first damping portion 310 is limited in the second mounting hole 121;

[0062] Since the shape of the first mounting hole 111 is different from the shape of the second mounting hole 121, and the diameter of the first mounting hole 111 is smaller than the length of the second mounting hole 121, the first damping part 310, when assembled in the second mounting hole 121, abuts against the interface between the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121, and cannot separate from the second mounting hole 121 and enter the first mounting hole 111; Figure 2 As shown, the first damping portion 310 can be prevented from continuing to move along the second mounting hole 121 through the interface between the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121. Figure 2 Move in the direction of arrow X2 to disengage from the second mounting hole 121;

[0063] The diameter of the first mounting hole 111 is the same as or slightly larger than the length of the second damping portion 320 , so that the second damping portion 320 passes through the first mounting hole 111 and can rotate in the first mounting hole 111 ;

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the first end of the hinge arm 210 is fixed to the second component 200 , the second end of the hinge arm 210 is provided with a third mounting hole 211 , and the second damping portion 320 passes through the first mounting hole 111 and is inserted into the third mounting hole 211 for limiting.

[0065] The hinge arm 210 is a V-shaped arm or a curved arm.

[0066] like Figure 4As shown, the second mounting plate 120 is locked with the first mounting plate 110 by means of a fastener 130, and the fastener 130 limits the first damping portion 310 in the second mounting hole 121;

[0067] The first mounting plate 110 and the second mounting plate 120 are provided with connecting holes 112 and 122, and the fastener 130 is a screw and a screw washer. The screw is locked in the connecting holes 112 and 122 of the first mounting plate 110 and the second mounting plate 120, and the screw washer covers a part of the second mounting hole 121. Figure 2 As shown, under the obstruction of the screw gasket, the first damping part 310 cannot be pushed out of the second mounting hole 121 in the X1 direction; when the first damping part 310 is assembled in the second mounting hole 121, it abuts against the intersection of the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 121, so that the damping member 300 cannot be pushed out of the second mounting hole 121 in the X1 direction. Figure 2 Move in the direction of arrow X2; Optionally, the second mounting plate 120 can actually be integrally formed on the first member 100. After the damping member 300 is installed, the first damping portion 310 is limited by the fastener 130 to prevent it from Figure 2 The fastener 130 can be disengaged in the direction of the arrow X1 , and the fastener 130 serves to limit the position, but does not serve to lock the first mounting plate 110 and the second mounting plate 120 .

[0068] During assembly, first axially overlap the second mounting plate 120 and the hinge arm 210 with the first mounting plate 110, and then place the damping member 300 as shown in FIG. Figure 4 Insert the second mounting hole 121 of the second mounting plate 120 to the right first, insert the second damping part 320 through the second mounting hole 121 and the first mounting hole 111 into the third mounting hole 211 of the hinge arm 210, and restrict the first damping part 310 in the second mounting hole 121. Finally, lock the fastener 130 in the connecting holes 112 and 122 of the first mounting plate 110 and the second mounting plate 120, and the assembly is completed.

[0069] When in use, the second component 200 is driven to rotate manually or electrically. When the hinge arm 210 rotates, the second end of the hinge arm 210 rotates around the axis of the damping member 300, and the second damping part 320 rotates relative to the first damping part 310. Due to the action of the damping member 300, the second component 200 can rotate slowly relative to the first component 100 to achieve slow opening and closing.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] Dry seasoning dispenser, see Figure 1-12 As shown, it includes: a first component 100 and a second component 200, and the first component 100 and the second component 200 are connected by the hinge structure in Example 1, so that the second component 200 can move relative to the first component 100.

[0072] Specifically, the first component 100 is a warehouse-type structure, with a storage cavity 101 for storing the dry seasoning box 400 formed inside, and an opening communicating with the storage cavity 101 formed on the front side;

[0073] The second component 200 is connected to the first component 100 via a hinge structure. The second component 200 can rotate to a first position where it covers the opening to close the storage cavity 101, and rotate to a second position where it leaves the opening to open the storage cavity 101.

[0074] After using the hinge structure of Example 1, the second component 200 can be rotated and opened at a large angle relative to the first component 100, such as Figure 8 As shown, after the second member 200 is rotated and opened relative to the first member 100, under the action of the damping force of the damping member 300, the second member 200 may be positioned at Figure 8 The second member 200 is in the position shown, and after an external force is applied to the second member 200, the second member 200 is closed clockwise or opened counterclockwise; or the second member 200 is in Figure 8 The position shown is closed slowly by the gravity of the second member 200;

[0075] The two methods are determined by the damping force of the damping member 300. If the damping force is less than the gravity of the second member 200, it will be slowly closed. If the damping force is greater than the gravity of the second member 200, it will be positioned at Figure 8 Position shown.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, the first component 100 is composed of a bottom plate 140, an end plate, a rear side plate, a left side plate and a right side plate. The front of the first component 100 forms an opening connected to the storage cavity 101, and the opening is inclined. The second component 200 is connected to the first component 100 through two sets of hinge structures, so that the second component 200 can be stably rotated to open and close;

[0077] Continue as Figure 6 As shown, the first component 100 is a seasoning bin body, the second component 200 is a seasoning bin door, a dry seasoning box 400 is placed in the storage cavity 101, and the second component 200 is slowly opened and closed due to the action of the damping member 300 when rotating.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, two sets of hinge structures are arranged between the second component 200 and the first component 100, and the damping members 300 of the two sets of hinge structures are installed in opposite directions.

[0079] The relative rotation between the second member 200 and the first member 100 can be performed manually or electrically. If the manual method is adopted, a handle or other structure can be provided on the second member 200 to facilitate the user to apply force to drive the second member 200 to rotate;

[0080] If an electric method is used, at least one of the two sets of hinge structures can be connected to an electric component, and the hinge arm 210 is driven to rotate by the electric component to realize the rotation of the second component 200 relative to the first component 100;

[0081] Choose whether to install electric components according to actual needs;

[0082] Of course, after the electric assembly is installed, in the event of a power outage or other special circumstances, the second component 200 can also be manually pushed to rotate relative to the first component 100 to open and close the storage chamber 101.

[0083] Specifically, Figure 11-12 As shown, the first component 100 has a bottom plate 140, on which is provided a delivery port 141 for the dry seasoning to be delivered downwards, and a flip door assembly 150 is provided corresponding to the delivery port 141; the flip door assembly 150 includes: a lower door body 151 and a driving member 152 for driving the lower door body 151 to flip and open; a sealing ring is provided between the lower door body 151 and the delivery port 141.

[0084] One side of the lower door body 151 is rotatably connected to one side of the delivery port 141. The driving member 152 may be a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the shaft of the lower door body 151. When the output shaft of the motor rotates, the lower door body 151 is driven to rotate, thereby opening or closing the delivery port 141.

[0085] The dry seasoning feeding device in the present embodiment 2 is used in a commercial cooking machine, specifically located above the inner pot. When the food is heated, hot steam rises. At this time, if the feeding port 141 is always in an open state, the hot steam entering the feeding port 141 will cause the dry seasoning to become moist, resulting in inaccurate feeding or even blocking the feeding port 141. Therefore, after the lower door body 151 is provided, the feeding port 141 is closed through the lower door body 151 when no food is fed to prevent hot steam from entering.

[0086] Furthermore, a feeding nozzle 160 for liquid seasoning is also provided on the bottom plate 140. In traditional commercial cooking machines, the feeding nozzle is installed in the inner pot, and the feeding nozzle is easily contaminated when the inner pot is cleaned. However, the feeding nozzle 160 is arranged at the bottom of the dry seasoning feeding device, and the liquid seasoning cabin is connected to the feeding nozzle 160. The liquid seasoning is fed through the feeding nozzle 160. The feeding nozzle 160 will not be contaminated when the inner pot is cleaned, which is cleaner and more hygienic.

[0087] The number of the feeding nozzles 160 is set according to actual needs.

[0088] When in use, a dry seasoning box can be placed in the storage cavity 101 of the first component 100. The dry seasoning box is provided with a spiral propulsion rod for pushing the seasoning to move and put the seasoning in, and a weighing sensor. The weighing sensor weighs the weight of the dry seasoning box. When the dry seasoning box is short of seasoning, the second component 200 is rotated to open the storage cavity 101, so that the dry seasoning box can be taken out and the seasoning can be replenished.

[0089] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
