[0023] The utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] An automatic spoon taking machine, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a shell body 1, a plurality of positioning plates 2 fixedly connected in the shell body 1 and a lower spoon mechanism 3 arranged on the positioning plate 2, a slideway 4 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the positioning plate 2, and a through groove 5 is opened on the slideway 4. A receiving assembly for receiving the spoon is provided on the shell body 1. When the spoon is needed, the lower spoon mechanism 3 can be started, and the lower spoon mechanism 3 will push the spoon onto the slideway 4, and then slide out from the slideway 4. When the spoon is separated from the lower spoon mechanism 3, the spoon will be blocked by the receiving assembly and be smoothly transported to the slideway 4 for delivery, thereby preventing the spoon from falling directly on the slideway 4 and causing damage to the spoon.
[0025] like Figure 2-Figure 5As shown, the receiving assembly includes an electric push rod 6 fixedly connected to the inner bottom side of the housing 1, a receiving plate 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 6, and a photoelectric sensor 8 fixedly connected to the receiving plate 7. A through hole 9 for the photoelectric sensor 8 to be placed is provided on the receiving plate 7. The photoelectric sensor 8 is connected to the electric push rod 6. A plurality of guide wheels 10 are provided on the slide 4. When the spoon is separated from the lower spoon mechanism 3, it will first contact the receiving plate 7 and be blocked by the receiving plate 7 and cannot fall onto the slide 4. At this time, the probe of the photoelectric sensor 8 on the receiving plate 7 is blocked, and the photoelectric sensor 8 moves toward the electric push rod. 6 transmits a contraction signal, and the output end of the electric push rod 6 begins to contract downward, thereby driving the receiving plate 7 to move downward. When the electric push rod 6 is fully contracted, the receiving plate 7 will enter the through groove 5 on the slide 4. Before that, the spoon will first contact the guide wheel 10 and slide downward onto the slide 4. When the spoon no longer blocks the probe of the photoelectric sensor 8, the photoelectric sensor 8 will transmit an extension signal to the electric push rod 6, and the output end of the electric push rod 6 begins to extend upward until the receiving plate 7 is reset, thereby completing the receiving work of the spoon, preventing the spoon from falling directly onto the slide 4 and causing damage to the spoon.
[0026] like Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, a connecting frame 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the receiving plate 7, connecting rods 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the connecting frame 11, a spring telescopic rod 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 12, a positioning rod 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 13, a fixing block 15 is fixedly connected to the positioning rod 14, a stopper 16 is rotatably connected to the fixing block 15, and can be used to receive the spoon handle, the stopper 16 and the fixing block 15 are connected by a torsion spring 17, and a driving assembly for driving the stopper 16 to rotate is provided on the stopper 16 and the slideway 4, and the positioning rod 14, the fixing block 15 and the stopper 16 are symmetrically arranged, and when the receiving plate 7 moves downward, it will drive the connecting frame 11, the connecting rod 12, the spring telescopic rod 13, the positioning rod 14, the fixing block 15 The spoon will move downward together with the stopper 16. When the spoon is separated from the lower spoon mechanism 3, the spoon head is blocked by the receiving plate 7, and the spoon handle is blocked by the stoppers 16 on both sides, so that the spoon cannot fall onto the slide 4. When the receiving plate 7 drops to a certain distance, the driving assembly will be triggered to tilt the stoppers 16 on both sides. At this time, the spoon handle will be unrestricted, and then the receiving plate 7 will continue to drop. At this time, the spring telescopic rod 13 begins to extend, and then the spoon will contact the guide wheel 10 and slide downward onto the slide 4. When the receiving plate 7 is reset, the spring telescopic rod 13 will be reset first, and then the receiving plate 7 will continue to drive the stoppers 16 upward to reset, so as to prevent the spoon from being dislocated and falling from the receiving plate 7 when the receiving plate 7 drops, causing damage to the spoon.
[0027] like Figure 3-Figure 7As shown, the stopper 16 is inclined near the spring telescopic rod 13 on the same side, and the driving assembly includes a magnetic block 18 fixedly connected to the inclined surface of the stopper 16 and a magnetic block 2 19 fixedly connected to both sides of the slideway 4. The inclined surface of the stopper 16 is provided with a placement groove 20 for the magnetic block 18 to be placed, so that the stopper 16 can be inclined at a larger angle. The two magnetic blocks 19 are symmetrically arranged. After the receiving plate 7 drops to a certain distance, the magnetic block 18 will be attracted to the magnetic block 2 19 fixedly connected to the inclined surface of the stopper 16, thereby driving the stopper 16 to rotate.
[0028] like Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, a slider 21 is slidably connected to the stopper 16, and a threaded rod 22 for pressing against the slider 21 is threadedly connected to the bottom side of the stopper 16. When a spoon with a thinner handle appears, the threaded rod 22 can be screwed out so that it no longer contacts the slider 21, and then the slider 21 is moved to a specified position, and finally the threaded rod 22 can be tightened, so that spoons with handles of different thicknesses can be protected.
[0029] like Figure 2-Figure 6 As shown, a stabilizing rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top side of the fixing block 15. The stabilizing rod 23 passes through the positioning plate 2 and is slidably connected to the positioning plate 2. It can stabilize the fixing block 15 and prevent the connecting rod 12 from bending after long-term use, resulting in the inability to smoothly attract the magnetic block 18 and the magnetic block 2 19, making it impossible to restrict and protect the spoon.
[0030] Working principle: when a spoon is needed, the lower spoon mechanism 3 can be started, and the lower spoon mechanism 3 will push the spoon onto the slide 4, and then the spoon will slide out of the slide 4. When the spoon leaves the lower spoon mechanism 3, it will first contact the receiving plate 7 and the stopper 16, and will be blocked by the receiving plate 7 and the stopper 16 and cannot fall onto the slide 4. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 8 on the receiving plate 7 is blocked by the spoon, and the photoelectric sensor 8 transmits a contraction signal to the electric push rod 6, and the output end of the electric push rod 6 begins to contract downward, thereby driving the receiving plate 7 to move upward. When the receiving plate 7 moves downward, after the receiving plate 7 drops to a certain distance, the magnetic block 18 will be attracted to the magnetic block 2 19 fixedly connected to the inclined surface of the stop block 16, so that the stop blocks 16 on both sides are tilted. At this time, the spoon handle will be unrestricted. At this time, the receiving plate 7 continues to drop, and the spring telescopic rod 13 begins to extend. Then the spoon will contact the guide wheel 10 and slide downward to the slideway 4 and slide out. In this way, the spoon can be protected to prevent the spoon from falling directly on the slideway 4 and causing damage to the spoon. Spoons with handles of different thicknesses can be protected.
[0031] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
