DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0029] Example 1: Figure 1-7 As shown, a solid seasoning delivery device includes three delivery units (each delivery unit can deliver different seasonings, such as salt, monosodium glutamate, etc.), each delivery unit includes a container 103, a top cover 104, a dividing wheel 114, a dividing wheel drive motor 108 and an air pipe joint 109; the container is used to store solid seasoning;

[0030] The top cover is arranged on the top of the container; a discharge port 102 is arranged on the top cover; a receiving hole 110 is arranged in the top cover; a dividing wheel is located in the receiving hole; a discharge window 107 is arranged on the inner wall of the receiving hole; the discharge window is communicated with the inner cavity of the container; the rotating shaft of the dividing wheel driving motor is connected with the dividing wheel rotating shaft 112, and the dividing wheel driving motor is used to drive the dividing wheel to rotate;

[0031] The air pipe joint is fixed on the back of the top cover; there is an air guide channel between the air pipe joint and the discharge port;

[0032] It also includes a flip driving mechanism for driving the delivery unit to flip, and the flip driving mechanism is provided with torque by the flip motor 101.

[0033] Specifically, the three delivery units are arranged side by side and are all fixed on the base plate 105. The flipping driving mechanism is connected to the base plate, and the flipping driving mechanism can drive the base plate to flip.

[0034] A vibrator 117 is provided on the back surface of the substrate.

[0035] The indexing wheel has six indexing grooves 113 that are distributed at equal intervals.

[0036] The delivery unit also includes a sealing plate 115, a shaft hole 111 is provided in the middle of the sealing plate, and the indexing wheel shaft is inserted in the shaft hole; a guide hole 116 is also provided on the sealing plate; the rear end of the guide hole is connected to the air pipe joint; when the indexing wheel rotates, the front end of the guide hole can be connected to the indexing groove on the indexing wheel.

[0037] Working process description: When discharging, the container is inverted under the drive of the flip drive mechanism, and the indexing wheel driving motor drives the indexing wheel to rotate. The solid seasoning in the container enters the indexing groove of the indexing wheel through the discharging window, and then the solid seasoning is brought into the air guide channel through the rotation of the indexing wheel, and finally discharged from the discharging port. The controller can control the action of a certain delivery unit separately.

[0038] This device adopts a new type of pneumatic conveying method. The motor drives the indexing gear to quantitatively deliver the solid seasoning to the discharge channel, and then the solid seasoning is blown out of the discharge port by compressed air. When the equipment is running, the air pump blows air continuously to ensure the timeliness of the discharge, and effectively prevents the solid seasoning from condensing and blocking the discharge port after water vapor enters the discharge port. At the same time, this mechanism also has two vibrating elements (vibrators), which can effectively prevent the solid seasoning from bridging in the discharge channel, providing double protection for smooth discharge.

[0039] Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included in the protection scope of this utility model.
