When the operation is fast, it may cause the next bowl to fall down along with it, which will distract the attention of packing and taking bowls, thus affecting the packing efficiency. When not needed, the bowls that fall in advance will get dusty, affecting the hygiene of the food. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a bowl separator, which has the advantages of being able to control the frequency and improving the hygiene of tableware.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a bowl separator, including a lower housing mold, a driving motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower housing mold, an output shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor, a driving gear is fixedly installed on the outer side of the output shaft, an external planetary gear is meshed with the outer side of the driving gear, a separating gear is meshed with the inner side of the external planetary gear, a separator is fixedly installed above the separating gear, a material guiding column is fixedly installed inside the lower housing mold, an upper housing mold is fixedly installed above the lower housing mold, the material guiding column is located at the bottom of the upper housing mold, a micro switch is electrically connected inside the lower housing mold, the micro switch is located above the external planetary gear, and the external planetary gear is located outside and below the separator.

[0005] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a separation bin is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower housing mold, the separation bin is circular, and the outer diameter value of the separation bin is smaller than the outer diameter value of the lower housing mold.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a fixing ring is provided at the bottom of the lower housing mold, a control motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing ring, a lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the control motor, a connecting plate is meshed with the outer side of the lead screw, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected with the lower housing mold;

[0007] The main function of the lead screw is to drive the connecting plate to rise and fall by meshing with the connecting plate, so as to make the lower housing mold rise and fall. When the bowl falls down, the falling height can be controlled to prevent the situation that when multiple bowls fall down, they pile up too high and cannot continue to pile up and form extrusion.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, a limiting ring is fixedly installed above the lead screw. The limiting ring is circular. A limiting sleeve is sleeved outside the lead screw. The limiting sleeve is located above the connecting plate and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, support legs are fixedly installed on the fixed ring. The downward height value of the support legs is greater than the downward height value of the control motor. The fixed ring is circular. The diameter value of the fixed ring is greater than the diameter value of the lower die of the housing.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the external planetary gear is located inside the lower die of the housing, and the external planetary gear is rotatably connected to the lower die of the housing. The separator is rotatably connected to the lower die of the housing. There are five separators. All five separators are located inside the lower die and the upper die of the housing, and the outer sides of the five separators are closer to the center point of the lower die of the housing than the inner side of the lower die of the housing.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] 1. In the present utility model, an output shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the driving motor, a driving gear is fixedly installed outside the output shaft, an external planetary gear is meshed outside the driving gear, a separating gear is meshed inside the external planetary gear, and a separator is fixedly installed above the separating gear. When bowl separation is required, the driving motor is started to drive the driving gear to rotate and mesh with the external planetary gear through the output shaft. Thus, while the external planetary gear rotates, it meshes with the separating gear to make the separator rotate. Since the separator is spiral, after the separator rotates, the bowls stuck inside the separator can be rotated out, thereby achieving the effect of evenly separating the bowls. At the same time, it can also ensure that the bowls are separated one by one, ensuring that multiple bowls will not fall together.

[0013] 2. In the present utility model, a control motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed ring, a lead screw is fixedly installed at the output end of the control motor, and the lead screw is in a meshing state with the connecting plate. At the same time, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the lower die of the housing. When the control motor is started, it can drive the lead screw to rotate. At this time, the lead screw will make the connecting plate lift by meshing with the connecting plate, thereby driving the lower die of the housing to lift to adjust the height. Thus, when more bowls need to be separated, the height of the lower die of the housing and the separation bin can be controlled to prevent the separated bowls from piling up and squeezing, which may cause deformation of the plastic bowls, so as to ensure that the normal use of the bowls is not affected.

Specific embodiments

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, the present utility model provides a bowl separator, including a lower die 1 of the housing. A drive motor 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower die 1 of the housing. An output shaft 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 2. A driving gear 4 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the output shaft 3. An outer planetary gear 5 is meshed with the outer side of the driving gear 4. A separating gear 6 is meshed with the inner side of the outer planetary gear 5. A separator 7 is fixedly installed above the separating gear 6. A material guiding column 9 is fixedly installed inside the lower die 1 of the housing. An upper die 8 of the housing is fixedly installed above the lower die 1 of the housing. The material guiding column 9 is located at the bottom of the upper die 8 of the housing. A microswitch 10 is electrically connected inside the lower die 1 of the housing. The microswitch 10 is located above the outer planetary gear 5. The outer planetary gear 5 is located outside and below the separator 7.

[0023] The main function of the micro switch 10 is to control the entire device after inserting the plug into the socket. It can start the drive motor 2 to drive the output shaft 3 to rotate, so that the driving gear 4 meshes with the external planetary gear 5 and rotates, and then drives the external planetary gear 5 to mesh with the separating gear 6, causing the separator 7 to rotate, and the bowl rotates out from the inside of the lower die 1 of the housing, achieving the effect of separating the bowls. The material guiding column 9 positions and guides the bowls to ensure that the edge of the bottommost bowl fits inside the separator 7. At the same time, the upper die 8 of the housing covers the lower die 1 of the housing, providing protection for the internal structure.

[0024] Among them, a separation chamber 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lower die 1 of the housing. The separation chamber 11 is circular, and the outer diameter value of the separation chamber 11 is smaller than the outer diameter value of the lower die 1 of the housing.

[0025] The main function of the separation chamber 11 is to play a guiding role. When the bowl rotates and falls downward from the inside of the separator 7, it will fall along the inner wall of the separation chamber 11, thus achieving the effect of limiting the bowl.

[0026] Among them, a fixed ring 12 is provided at the bottom of the lower die 1 of the housing. A control motor 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed ring 12. A lead screw 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the control motor 13. A connecting plate 16 is meshed with the outside of the lead screw 14, and the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the lower die 1 of the housing.

[0027] The main function of the lead screw 14 is to drive the connecting plate 16 to lift by meshing with the connecting plate 16, so that the lower die 1 of the housing can be lifted. When the bowl falls downward, the falling height can be controlled to prevent the situation that when multiple bowls fall downward, they pile up too high and cannot continue to pile up and form extrusion.

[0028] Among them, a limit ring 15 is fixedly installed above the lead screw 14. The limit ring 15 is circular. A limit sleeve 17 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 14. The limit sleeve 17 is located above the connecting plate 16 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 16.

[0029] The main function of the limit ring 15 is to limit the connecting plate 16 and control the height that the connecting plate 16 drives the lower die 1 of the housing to rise, so as to prevent the situation that the height of the lower die 1 of the housing is too high and the bowl falls downward unstably.

[0030] Among them, support legs 18 are fixedly installed on the fixed ring 12. The downward height value of the support legs 18 is greater than the downward height value of the control motor 13. The fixed ring 12 is circular, and the diameter value of the fixed ring 12 is greater than the diameter value of the lower die 1 of the housing.

[0031] The main function of the support leg 18 is to ensure the overall stability of the device after it is placed, and at the same time prevent the control motor 13 from touching the ground to ensure the normal use of the control motor 13.

[0032] Among them, the external planetary gear 5 is located inside the lower housing mold 1, and the external planetary gear 5 is rotatably connected to the lower housing mold 1. The separator 7 is rotatably connected to the lower housing mold 1. There are five separators 7, and all five separators 7 are located inside the lower housing mold 1 and the upper housing mold 8. Moreover, the outer sides of the five separators 7 are closer to the center point of the lower housing mold 1 than the inner side of the lower housing mold 1.

[0033] The five separators 7 are spiral-shaped. Their main function is to make the five separators 7 rotate as the separating gear 6 meshes with the external planetary gear 5, so that the five separators 7 rotate, and the bowl held by the five separators 7 drops downward, thus achieving the effect of separating bowls.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model are as follows:

[0035] First, stack the clean bowls above the separator 7, and make the bowls distributed upward inside the lower housing mold 1 for storage.

[0036] Secondly, when bowl separation is required, an output shaft 3 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 2, a driving gear 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the output shaft 3, the driving gear 4 meshes with an external planetary gear 5 on the outside, a separating gear 6 meshes with the internal side of the external planetary gear 5, and a separator 7 is fixedly installed above the separating gear 6. When bowl separation is required, start the drive motor 2 to drive the driving gear 4 to rotate and mesh with the external planetary gear 5 through the output shaft 3. Thus, while the external planetary gear 5 rotates, it meshes with the separating gear 6 to make the separator 7 rotate. Since the separator 7 is spiral-shaped, after the separator 7 rotates, the bowls stuck inside the separator 7 can be turned out, thus achieving the effect of evenly separating bowls.

[0037] Secondly, since the number of rotations of the separator 7 can be controlled, the number of bowls falling can be controlled during bowl separation, so that the number of bowls coming out is exactly the number needed, preventing the situation of multiple bowls falling simultaneously and causing dust accumulation due to stacking.

[0038] Finally, a lead screw 14 is fixedly installed at the output end of the control motor 13, and the lead screw 14 is in a meshing state with the connecting plate 16. At the same time, the connecting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the lower die 1 of the housing. When the control motor 13 is started, it can drive the lead screw 14 to rotate. At this time, the lead screw 14 will engage with the connecting plate 16 to cause the connecting plate 16 to move up and down, so as to drive the lower die 1 of the housing to move up and down to adjust the height. Thus, when it is necessary to separate out more bowls, the heights of the lower die 1 of the housing and the separation bin 11 can be controlled to prevent the separated bowls from piling up and squeezing, resulting in deformation of the plastic bowls.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
