[0037] The present utility model provides a signature storage box.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the signature storage box includes a housing 10, a box body 20, a signature receiving block 30 and a vibration mechanism 40. The housing 10 is provided with an installation groove; the box body 20 is slidably connected to the installation groove, and a material discharge port is provided at the bottom of the box body 20; the signature receiving block 30 is disposed in the installation groove and is located between the bottom of the box body 20 and the bottom of the installation groove; the signature receiving block 30 is provided with a signature receiving groove 30a for receiving bamboo sticks shaken off from the material discharge port; the vibration mechanism 40 is disposed on the box body 20 for driving the box body 20 to vibrate.

[0039] First, control the box body 20 to slide out of the installation groove until the material discharge port of the box body 20 is aligned with the signature receiving groove 30a of the signature receiving block 30. Then, control the vibration mechanism 40 to operate to drive the box body 20 to vibrate, so that the bamboo sticks on the box body 20 enter the signature receiving groove 30a of the signature receiving block 30 from the material discharge port. Subsequently, control the vibration mechanism 40 to stop operating, and control the box body 20 to slide into the installation groove from outside the installation groove to complete one-time bamboo stick feeding.

[0040] A material discharge port is provided at the bottom of the box body 20. The signature receiving block 30 is disposed in the installation groove and is located between the bottom of the box body 20 and the bottom of the installation groove. The signature receiving block 30 is provided with a signature receiving groove 30a for receiving bamboo sticks shaken off from the material discharge port. This design effectively solves the problems of bamboo stick collection and storage, avoids the scattering and loss of bamboo sticks, and improves the collection efficiency of bamboo sticks.

[0041] The vibration mechanism 40 is disposed on the box body 20 for driving the box body 20 to vibrate. When the bamboo sticks fall from the material discharge port, the function of the vibration mechanism 40 enables the bamboo sticks to be evenly distributed in the signature receiving groove 30a, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of bamboo sticks, and at the same time reducing the risk of damage to the box body 20 caused by the accumulation of bamboo sticks.

[0042] The housing 10 is made of corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant materials, and its shape is a cuboid with a mounting groove provided at the top. The size of the mounting groove matches the sliding connection part of the box body 20 to ensure that the box body 20 can slide smoothly.

[0043] The box body 20 is made of transparent or translucent materials for easy observation of the number of bamboo sticks inside. The box body 20 is slidably connected to the mounting groove, and a blanking port is provided at its bottom. The size of the blanking port is reasonably designed to ensure that the bamboo sticks can pass through smoothly. The bamboo stick receiving block 30 is provided in the mounting groove and is located between the bottom of the box body 20 and the bottom of the mounting groove. The bamboo stick receiving block 30 is made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials, and a bamboo stick receiving groove 30a is provided thereon. The shape of the bamboo stick receiving groove 30a matches the shape of the bamboo sticks to ensure that the bamboo sticks can enter the bamboo stick receiving groove 30a smoothly. The vibration mechanism 40 is provided in the box body 20 and is used to drive the box body 20 to vibrate.

[0044] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the vibration mechanism 40 includes a vibration motor 41 and an eccentric gear 42. The vibration motor 41 is provided on the outer wall of the box body 20; the eccentric gear 42 is connected to the output shaft of the vibration motor 41 so that the vibration motor 41 drives the eccentric gear 42 to rotate, causing the eccentric gear 42 to contact the outer wall of the box body 20.

[0045] In this embodiment, the vibration motor 41 is a conventional electric drive device with stable output performance. The eccentric gear 42 is designed with a specific eccentric structure, which can generate centrifugal force when it rotates, thereby causing vibration. The output shaft of the vibration motor 41 is connected to the eccentric gear 42 by a key connection or a spline connection, so that the rotational movement of the vibration motor 41 can be transmitted to the eccentric gear 42. When the vibration motor 41 starts and rotates, the eccentric gear 42 rotates accordingly. Due to the eccentric structure of the eccentric gear 42, centrifugal force is generated during its rotation. This centrifugal force acts on the outer wall of the box body 20, causing the box body 20 to vibrate.

[0046] The connection between the eccentric gear 42 and the output shaft of the vibration motor 41 realizes the function of the vibration motor 41 driving the eccentric gear 42 to rotate. This design enables the eccentric gear 42 to contact the outer wall of the box body 20, thereby generating vibration. The vibration mechanism 40 of the present utility model can achieve a more uniform and stable vibration effect. The rotation of the eccentric gear 42 distributes the vibration on the entire outer wall of the box body 20, avoiding the problem of too strong or too weak local vibration and improving the overall quality of the product.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , at least two slide rails 50 are provided at the bottom of the mounting groove, and the two slide rails 50 are arranged in parallel; the bamboo stick storage box further includes at least two sliders 60, both of the two sliders 60 are provided at the bottom of the box body 20, and each slider 60 is slidably connected to a slide rail 50.

[0048] By providing at least two sliding rails 50 at the bottom of the installation groove, and the two sliding rails 50 are arranged in parallel, the quick positioning of the signature storage box is realized; and each slider 60 is slidably connected to a sliding rail 50. This design enables the signature storage box to move smoothly along the sliding rail 50 during the installation process, greatly improving the stability and accuracy of the movement of the signature storage box. Due to the precise design of the sliding rail 50 and the slider 60, the signature storage box reduces the wear caused by friction during frequent use, thereby reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , both of the two sliders 60 are arranged on one side of the bottom of the box body 20 away from the signature receiving block 30.

[0050] In the prior art, the sliders 60 are usually distributed around or on both sides of the box body 20, which will occupy a large space. However, in the present utility model, the sliders 60 are arranged at the bottom and on one side away from the signature receiving block 30, effectively reducing the space occupied by the sliders 60, making the overall structure of the box body 20 more compact, and significantly improving the space utilization rate. At the same time, the two sliders 60 are located on one side of the bottom of the box body 20 away from the signature receiving block 30, so that one side of the box body 20 adjacent to the signature receiving block 30 will slightly sag when filled with bamboo sticks, causing the box body 20 to tilt towards the direction adjacent to the signature receiving block 30, and further making it easier for the bamboo sticks to be discharged to the discharge port of the box body 20.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the signature storage box further includes two elastic blocks, and each elastic block is arranged between a slider 60 and the bottom of the box body 20.

[0052] The elastic block is arranged between the slider 60 and the bottom of the box body 20, and the material of the elastic block is soft and elastic rubber or silica gel, etc. The shape of the elastic block is rectangular, and its size is adapted to the space between the slider 60 and the bottom of the box body 20. The function of the elastic block is to ensure that the slider 60 maintains a certain distance from the bottom of the box body 20 during the sliding process, preventing the bamboo sticks from directly contacting the bottom of the box body 20, thereby reducing wear.

[0053] The existence of the elastic block increases the buffering effect between the slider 60 and the box body 20, effectively reducing the risk of damage to the slider 60 caused by improper operation or external impact, and ensuring the long-term stable use of the signature storage box. At the same time, when the vibration mechanism 40 drives the box body 20 to vibrate, the elastic block can increase the mobility of the box body 20 relative to the installation groove, making the vibration of the box body 20 stronger, and making it easier for the bamboo sticks to be discharged from the discharge port of the box body 20.

[0054] In one embodiment, the elastic block is an elastic material component, a spring or a spring piece.

[0055] The application of elastic material components, springs or elastic sheets enables the elastic blocks to more flexibly adjust their shapes and sizes when compressed or stretched, thereby improving the elastic performance of the overall structure.

[0056] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the box body 20 includes a peripheral frame 21 and a bottom plate 22 provided on the peripheral frame 21. The bottom plate 22 is located at the bottom of the peripheral frame 21, and the bottom plate 22 is inclined relative to the peripheral frame 21. The material discharge port is located at the position where the bottom plate 22 slopes downward.

[0057] When using the structure of the box body 20 of this embodiment, the material is placed inside the box body 20, and the material moves downward along the inclined surface of the bottom plate 22 under the action of gravity. When the sausage reaches the material discharge port, the operator can take out or put in the sausage through the material discharge port. The structure design of the box body 20 of the present utility model is novel and unique, including two parts: a peripheral frame 21 and a bottom plate 22. The bottom plate 22 is located at the bottom of the peripheral frame 21, and the bottom plate 22 is inclined relative to the peripheral frame 21. This structural design makes the flow of materials in the box body 20 smoother, reduces the congestion of materials in the box body 20, and greatly improves the efficiency of material discharging.

[0058] The peripheral frame 21 is made of materials such as metal or plastic, and its shape is a rectangular frame, which is used to support the structure of the entire box body 20. The four sides of the peripheral frame 21 are connected to form a stable frame structure. The bottom plate 22 is located at the bottom of the peripheral frame 21 and is inclined relative to the peripheral frame 21. The inclination angle of the bottom plate 22 can be designed according to actual usage requirements. The material discharge port is located at the position where the bottom plate 22 slopes downward. The shape and size of the material discharge port can be designed according to actual usage requirements. The material discharge port is rectangular, and the function of the material discharge port is to facilitate taking out or putting in materials from the box body 20.

[0059] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the outer shell 10 is further provided with an installation opening 10a communicating with the installation groove; the signature storage box further includes a driving cylinder 70 and a connecting member. The driving cylinder 70 is provided on the outer wall of the outer shell 10, and the output end of the driving cylinder 70 is connected to one end of the connecting member. The other end of the connecting member extends into the installation groove from the installation opening 10a and is connected to the outer wall of the box body 20.

[0060] Connect the output end of the driving cylinder 70 to the connecting end of the connecting member to ensure a firm connection. Extend the protruding end of the connecting member into the installation groove from the installation opening 10a and connect it to the outer wall of the box body 20 to ensure a stable connection. Connect the air source to the air source interface of the driving cylinder 70, and turn on the air source switch to make the driving cylinder 70 expand and contract, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the signature storage box.

[0061] The outer shell 10 is designed with an installation opening 10a communicating with the installation groove, making the installation process of the driving cylinder 70 and the connecting member more convenient. During the installation process, only one end of the connecting member needs to be inserted into the installation groove from the installation opening 10a to be connected to the outer wall of the box body 20, greatly reducing the installation steps and time and improving the work efficiency.

[0062] In one embodiment, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , the signature storage box further includes a position sensor 80. The position sensor 80 is provided on the groove wall of the installation groove and is correspondingly arranged with the signature receiving groove 30a; the position sensor 80 is used to detect whether a bamboo stick is in place in the signature receiving groove 30a.

[0063] The position sensor 80 adopts infrared detection technology. When the bamboo stick enters the signature receiving groove 30a, the infrared ray is blocked by the bamboo stick, and the sensor outputs a signal. The signal is transmitted to the control unit of the signature storage box through a connecting wire, and the control unit judges whether the bamboo stick is in place according to the signal.

[0064] By setting the position sensor 80, the in-place situation of the bamboo sticks in the signature receiving groove 30a can be monitored in real time, improving the work efficiency and accuracy of the signature storage box. Compared with the prior art, this improvement significantly reduces the need for manual inspection, reduces the uncertainty and human error in the operation process, and thus optimizes the overall performance of the signature storage box. The use of the position sensor 80 can timely feedback the information of whether the bamboo stick is in place, providing the possibility for the automatic control of the signature storage box. This improvement in the degree of intelligence not only makes the signature storage process more automated, but also reduces the labor cost.

[0065] The present utility model also proposes a cooked food vending machine, which includes a heating and cooking device, a manipulator and a signature storage box. The heating and cooking device is provided with a heating cavity; the manipulator is movably connected to the top of the heating cavity; the signature storage box is used to output bamboo sticks for the manipulator to insert the roasted sausage onto the bamboo sticks. The specific structure of the signature storage box refers to the above embodiment. Since this cooked food vending machine adopts all the technical solutions of the above all embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, and will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0066] By integrating the heating and cooking device, the manipulator and the signature storage box into one, the present utility model greatly improves the automation level of the vending machine. The design of the heating cavity in the heating and cooking device makes the heating process more concentrated and efficient. The heating cavity can ensure that the food is heated evenly during the cooking process, avoiding problems such as low thermal efficiency, food burning or being undercooked that may occur in traditional cooking equipment. The movable connection design of the manipulator at the top of the heating cavity enables the manipulator to precisely control the roasting position and degree of the sausage. The introduction of the manipulator not only realizes the automated roasting process, but also ensures the safety and hygiene of the food, reducing the pollution risk that may occur during the manual operation process.

[0067] The above are only exemplary embodiments of the present utility model, and do not thus limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the technical concept of the present utility model by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present utility model, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields, is included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
