[0025] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the utility model with reference to the drawings.

[0026] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the present utility model, under the premise of not changing the essential spirit of the present utility model, there are various structural forms and implementation methods that can be mutually replaced by those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and accompanying drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the present utility model, and should not be regarded as the whole of the present utility model or as a limitation or restriction on the technical solution of the utility model.

[0027] The orientation terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front side, back side, top, bottom, etc. mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the respective drawings. They are relative concepts and may accordingly change depending on their different positions and different usage states. Therefore, these or other orientation terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" are only used for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "connected", "linked" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] In some embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 1 , the entire powder sprinkler can be hung on a bracket for use, or fixed to other structures for use, including: a container 1 for containing powder; a powder sprinkling tray 2 fixed inside or at the bottom of the container 1 and having a plurality of through holes 21 on its surface; a scraping component 3 including a scraping member 31 and a transmission shaft 32, the scraping member 31 being fixed on the transmission shaft 32 and rotating on the surface of the powder sprinkling tray 2; and a driving device 4 connected to and driving the transmission shaft 32 to rotate.

[0030] Specifically, the powder sprinkler includes a container 1, whose main function is to hold various powders, such as cocoa powder, matcha powder, macchiato powder, etc. The container 1 can have different shapes and sizes according to different beverage requirements to accommodate the required powders. The powder sprinkling plate 2 is a component fixed inside the container 1, and its surface has several through holes 21. The function of these through holes 21 is to allow the powder to pass through. The powder sprinkling plate 2 is usually located at the bottom of the container 1, so that the powder can be evenly dispersed on the surface of the beverage. The driving device 4 is a component that connects and drives the transmission shaft 32 to rotate. The function of this driving device 4 is to provide rotational power for the scraping component 3, so that the scraping part 31 can effectively perform its function on the surface of the powder sprinkling plate 2. The scraping component 3 is the key part of this powder sprinkler and consists of two main elements, namely the scraping part 31 and the transmission shaft 32. The scraping part 31 is fixed on the transmission shaft 32 and rotates on the surface of the powder sprinkling plate 2. The main functions of this scraping component 3 are as follows: the rotational movement of the scraping part 31 helps to evenly disperse the powder on the surface of the beverage, ensuring uniform coverage of the powder. When the scraping part 31 rotates on the surface of the powder sprinkling plate 2, its movement is equivalent to applying a slight pressure on the surface of the powder, slowing down the speed at which the powder particles fly away due to vibration or air flow. The chance of mutual collision between the powder particles is reduced, which reduces the kinetic energy generated by the mutual collision of the powder particles and reduces the chance of the powder particles flying away. This technology enables the powder to be dispersed more precisely and controllably onto the target surface, improves the cleanliness of the working environment, enhances the comfort of the operator, and also helps to protect the equipment and mechanical parts from the influence of powder scattering.

[0031] In addition, the rotational movement of the scraping part 31 evenly disperses the powder on the surface of the powder sprinkling plate 2, which disperses the powder particles and makes them more evenly distributed at the channel entrance, reducing the aggregation and accumulation between the particles. The rotational movement of the scraping part 31 pushes the powder through the channel. After the powder is dispersed on the surface of the powder sprinkling plate 2, the movement of the scraping part 31 effectively pushes them through the through holes 21 on the powder sprinkling plate 2. This helps to prevent the particles from stagnating or accumulating in the channel. By continuously pushing the powder towards the outlet of the channel, the space inside the channel is effectively kept open and is not easily blocked by the powder. Even if some particles may accumulate in the channel, they have the opportunity to be pushed again by the scraping part 31 to continue moving. The rotational movement of the scraping part 31 helps to evenly disperse the powder and push the powder through the channel, preventing the problem of powder blockage in the channel. This movement keeps the channel unobstructed, improves production efficiency, and reduces the need for downtime and cleaning work.

[0032] Among them, the shape of the scraping part 31 can be sheet-shaped, strip-shaped or block-shaped, etc. The number of the scraping parts 31 can be one, or multiple are arranged around the circumference of the transmission shaft 32.

[0033] Working principle: When the driving device 4 is started, the transmission shaft 32 begins to rotate, driving the scraping member 31 fixed thereon to rotate together. This causes the scraping member 31 to move on the surface of the powder sprinkling tray 2, evenly dispersing the powder into the through holes 21 and releasing it to the surface of the beverage through the through holes 21. At the same time, the rotational movement of the scraping member 31 effectively reduces the dust of the powder and prevents the powder from clogging in the channel. In this way, the powder can be evenly dispersed on the surface of the beverage, providing various flavors and visual effects.

[0034] Operation steps: Operating this powder sprinkler generally includes the following steps: loading the required powder into the container 1, starting the driving device 4 to make the transmission shaft 32 and the scraping member 31 start to rotate. The rotational movement of the scraping member 31 evenly disperses the powder on the surface of the powder sprinkling tray 2, and through the through holes 21 on the powder sprinkling tray 2, the powder is released to the surface of the beverage.

[0035] Technical effects: The technical effects of this powder sprinkler include: reducing the dust problem, maintaining the cleanliness of the store, improving the comfort of customers, reducing the risk of powder clogging in the channel and the vibration device, improving production efficiency, reducing operating costs, providing a more effective and cleaner way of powder dispersion, and facilitating the production of beverages with various flavors and visual effects.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present utility model, when the powder sprinkling tray 2 is fixed inside the container 1, a wind shielding cavity 5 is formed by the downward extension of the connection between the outer periphery of the container 1 and the powder sprinkling tray 2.

[0037] Specifically, the container 1 is the main part of the wind shielding cavity 5 for containing the powder. The container 1 can have an appropriate capacity to accommodate the required amount of powder. The wind shielding cavity 5 is usually connected to the container 1, generally integrally formed. The powder sprinkling tray 2 is located inside the container 1 and at the connection between the container 1 and the wind shielding cavity 5. The surface of the powder sprinkling tray 2 has several through holes 21 for the powder to pass through in order to be evenly dispersed on the surface of the beverage. The wind shielding cavity 5 is usually the part where the container 1 extends downward from the outer periphery of the powder sprinkling tray 2 to cover the powder sprinkling tray 2, forming a relatively sealed space to prevent the powder from scattering. The working principle of the wind shielding cavity 5 is to provide wind resistance during the powder dispersion process to prevent the powder from scattering into the environment.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the powder sprinkling tray 2 is detachably connected inside or at the bottom of the container 1.

[0039] Specifically, a detachable connection method is usually adopted between the powder sprinkling tray 2 and the container 1, such as threaded connection, snap connection, clamping connection or other connection methods. This ensures that the powder sprinkling tray 2 can be easily connected to the inside of the container 1 and can be easily disassembled when needed. The detachable connection allows the operator to easily remove the powder sprinkling tray 2 from the container 1, which makes cleaning and maintenance more convenient. Since the powder sprinkler may accumulate powder residues during use and needs to be cleaned frequently, the detachable connection can greatly reduce the maintenance time and workload. The detachable connection also provides flexibility for replacing parts or performing repairs. If the powder sprinkling tray 2 is damaged or needs to be replaced, the operator can easily remove it and replace it with a new part without having to repair the entire powder sprinkler. Since the detachable powder sprinkling tray 2 can be easily cleaned, this helps to maintain hygiene and reduce food safety risks. In the food and beverage field, hygiene is very important, and the detachable connection helps to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the equipment. The operator can quickly replace or clean the powder sprinkling tray 2, which helps to improve the operation efficiency. There is no need to spend a lot of time on maintenance or replacement of parts, thus reducing the downtime. The detachable connection can reduce the maintenance cost because it reduces the labor and time costs required for part replacement and maintenance. In addition, reducing the downtime of the equipment also helps to reduce the production cost.

[0040] In addition, the detachable connection allows the powder sprinkler to adapt to different types of powders, not just limited to one type, which increases the versatility of the powder sprinkler and makes it more suitable for various beverage preparation requirements. By selecting an appropriately sized powder sprinkling tray 2, the operator can ensure that different powders are evenly dispersed on the surface of the beverage, thus improving the quality and consistency of the product. Merchants do not have to purchase multiple different types of powder sprinklers, but can replace the powder sprinkling tray 2 on the same device, which can reduce the equipment procurement cost and maintenance cost. The operator can quickly replace the powder sprinkling tray 2 to meet the preparation requirements of different beverages, thus improving the production efficiency and adaptability.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the transmission shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the powder sprinkling tray 2.

[0042] Specifically, the transmission shaft 32 rotates relative to the powder sprinkling tray 2. This configuration enables the scraping member 31 on the scraping assembly 3 on the transmission shaft 32 to rotate on the surface of the powder sprinkling tray 2, thereby achieving the dispersion of the powder. The transmission shaft 32 is a rotating shaft, usually made of a strong material, and it is connected to the driving device 4 to generate rotational power. This rotating transmission shaft 32 is the core part of the powder sprinkler. The powder sprinkling tray 2 is located at the end of the transmission shaft 32 and is kept at a certain distance from the transmission shaft 32, so that the transmission shaft 32 can rotate relative to the powder sprinkling tray 2.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present utility model, an opening 22 or a groove is provided at the center of the powder sprinkling plate 2, and the transmission shaft 32 is rotatably connected to the powder sprinkling plate 2 through the opening 22 or the groove.

[0044] Specifically, an opening 22 or a groove is provided in the central region of the powder sprinkling plate 2, which allows the transmission shaft 32 to pass through and be connected to the powder sprinkling plate 2. The transmission shaft 32 passes through the opening 22 or the groove at the center of the powder sprinkling plate 2. This assembly method allows the transmission shaft 32 to be rotatably connected to the powder sprinkling plate 2. The presence of the opening 22 or the groove ensures a stable connection between the transmission shaft 32 and the powder sprinkling plate 2, and at the same time enables the operator to easily disassemble them for maintenance or replacement.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the container 1 gradually narrows near the opening at the bottom end of the container 1.

[0046] Specifically, the gradually narrowing design is to adapt to the size of the milk tea cup below the container 1 and at the same time be able to hold a large amount of powder. The purpose of this design is to ensure suitability for use with milk tea cups without sacrificing the powder capacity. This feature can provide better applicability, making the powder sprinkler more versatile and adaptable to milk tea cups of different sizes.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present utility model, a shielding member 6 for preventing materials from falling is provided at the opening of the container 1.

[0048] Specifically, the shielding member 6 is a component located at the opening of the container 1 and is used to prevent the powder from accidentally falling. The feature of providing the shielding member 6 at the opening of the container 1 has the following working principle and technical effects: It can prevent the powder from falling out of the container 1 when not needed. This helps to reduce waste and keep the working area clean. The shielding member 6 improves the safety of operation because it avoids the powder accidentally falling to an inappropriate place, such as the beverage preparation area or the ground.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the shielding member 6 includes a fixing frame 61 and a sliding plate 62. The fixing frame 61 is fixedly connected to the opening of the container 1, and the sliding plate 62 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 61.

[0050] Specifically, the fixing frame 61 is a part of the shielding member 6, and it is a structure fixed to the opening of the container 1.

[0051] The sliding plate 62 is another part of the shielding member 6. It is slidably connected to the fixing frame 61, usually achieved through a sliding mechanism. The fixing frame 61 is connected to the opening of the container 1, providing the function of shielding the material from falling. The sliding connection between the sliding plate 62 and the fixing frame 61 means that the sliding plate 62 can slide horizontally relative to the fixing frame 61 to open or close the opening of the container 1, thereby controlling the outflow of the powder material. When the powder dispenser is needed, the operator can slide the sliding plate 62 to open the opening of the container 1, allowing the powder material to flow out; when not needed, the sliding plate 62 can slide back to its original position to close the opening of the container 1, preventing accidental overflow of the powder material. The design of the shielding member 6 allows the operator to better control the outflow of the powder material, preventing unnecessary waste and overflow of the powder material, and improving the accuracy and safety of the operation.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the driving device 4 is fixed on the top of the container 1, including a motor and an output shaft. The output shaft is in transmission connection with the transmission shaft 32.

[0053] Specifically, the motor is the core component of the driving device 4, usually an electric motor, which is responsible for providing power to rotate the output shaft. The output shaft is the output part of the motor. It is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor and transmits the rotational power to the transmission shaft 32. The motor generates rotational power, and this power is transmitted through the output shaft to the transmission shaft 32, thereby driving the scraping assembly 3 of the powder dispenser to rotate. The motor is located at the top of the container 1. The output shaft is connected to the motor by connecting to the rotating shaft of the motor and extends to the transmission shaft 32. This movement is transmitted through the output shaft to the transmission shaft 32, and the transmission shaft 32 further drives the scraping member 31 to rotate by connecting to the scraping assembly 3, realizing the dispersion of the powder material.

[0054] Operation steps: Turn on the motor. The motor transmits the rotational power to the transmission shaft 32 through the output shaft. The transmission shaft 32 drives the rotation of the scraping member 31 by connecting to the scraping assembly 3, evenly dispersing the powder material on the surface of the beverage. The introduction of the driving device 4 allows the powder dispenser to achieve automated powder dispersion operation, improving the convenience and accuracy of the operation, and reducing the need for manual operation at the same time.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the material of the container 1 is a transparent material.

[0056] Specifically, the main function of the transparent container 1 is to allow the operator or customer to directly observe the powder level in the container 1, thereby mastering the usage and remaining amount of the powder material. The method of manufacturing such a transparent container 1 includes selecting and processing a transparent material, usually plastic or glass, to form a specific shape of the container 1. The introduction of the transparent container 1 allows the operator or customer to monitor the powder level in real time, thereby better managing the usage of the powder material, reducing waste, and improving the operation efficiency.

[0057] The utility model is provided with a scraping component 3, which is composed of a scraping part 31 and a transmission shaft 32. The scraping part 31 is fixed on the transmission shaft 32 and rotates on the surface of the powder spreading plate 2. This rotational movement enables the powder to pass through the powder spreading plate 2, reduces the scattering of the powder, lowers the dust emission, and the rotational movement of the scraping part 31 helps to evenly disperse the powder, avoiding the accumulation and blockage of the powder in the channel, thereby providing a more effective and cleaner way of powder dispersion.

[0058] The above are only the principles and preferred embodiments of the utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, based on the principles of the utility model, several other variations can also be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model.
