[0033] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the raw material box of the embodiment of the present invention includes a box body 1 and a cover 2. The box body 1 is recessed with a receiving groove 11 for storing raw materials. The cover 2 is used to block the notch of the receiving groove 11. The cover 2 includes two cover plates 21. At least one cover plate 21 can slide along a first direction and abut against the other cover plate 21 (the first direction is the X direction in the figure). The two adjacent sides of the two cover plates 21 are respectively a first side surface 22 and a second side surface 23. The first side surface 22 is provided with an abutting portion 24. A drain groove 25 is provided on the portion 24, and the drain groove 25 at least passes through one side of the abutting portion 24 along the second direction (the second direction is the Y direction in the figure), and a stopping portion 26 is provided on the second side surface 23, and the stopping portion 26 is located above the abutting portion 24 along the vertical direction (the vertical direction is the Z direction in the figure). When the abutting portion 24 abuts against the second side surface 23, the projection of the free end of the stopping portion 26 along the vertical direction is located in the drain groove 25, wherein the first direction, the second direction and the vertical direction are arranged perpendicular to each other.
[0034] It can be understood that the two cover plates 21 are abutted together to block the notch of the receiving tank 11, and a drain groove 25 is provided on the abutting portion 24 of one cover plate 21, so that when the other cover plate 21 is tightly connected to the abutting portion 24, the stopping portion 26 is located on the drain groove 25. Even if external water droplets or other impurities fall into the gap between the two cover plates 21, they will be blocked and discharged by the drain groove 25, reducing the risk of impurities falling into the receiving cavity through the gap between the two cover plates 21, thereby improving the protection capability of the raw material box, reducing the occurrence of raw material contamination in the receiving tank 11, and effectively ensuring the food safety of the raw materials.
[0035] Of course, in addition to sliding along the first direction to abut against the other cover plate 21, one cover plate 21 can also be rotatably connected to the box body 1 to open or close the notch of the receiving slot 11. Alternatively, in addition to both cover plates 21 being rotatably connected to the box body 1, that is, the two cover plates 21 are rotated in opposite directions to open or close the notch of the receiving slot 11, the rotatable connection method can ensure the stability of the connection between the cover plates 21 and the box body 1.
[0036] Alternatively, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the two cover plates 21 are both slidably arranged on the box body 1 along the first direction, and the two cover plates 21 approach each other along the first direction to block the notch of the receiving groove 11, or move away from each other to open the notch of the receiving groove 11, that is, the two cover plates 21 can be slidably connected to the box body 1, so that the notch of the receiving groove 11 can be fully opened, thereby facilitating the boxing of raw materials or the cleaning of the receiving groove 11.
[0037] Further, if Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a surrounding wall 27 is provided on the side of the cover plate 21 facing the box body 1, and the surrounding wall 27 extends along the circumference of the cover plate 21, and the box body 1 is inserted into the surrounding wall 27. In other words, the cooperation restriction of the surrounding wall 27 and the box body 1 is utilized to reduce the moving space of the cover plate 21 and improve the position stability of the connection between the cover plate 21 and the box body 1.
[0038] Specifically, the surrounding wall 27 includes a first connecting portion 271 and two second connecting portions 272 spaced apart along the second direction. The two second connecting portions 272 are connected by the first connecting portion 271 at one end away from the other cover plate 21 along the first direction. A first limiting portion 273 is protruding from one side of at least two of the second connecting portions 272 adjacent to each other. The first limiting portion 273 and the cover plate 21 are spaced apart to form a first limiting groove 274. Second limiting portions 12 are provided on both sides of the box body 1 along the second direction, and the second limiting portions 12 are retained within the first limiting groove 274. The two second connecting portions 272 restrict the movement of the cover plate 21 along the second direction, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the cover plate 21 and the box body 1. The cooperation between the second limiting portion 12 and the first limiting groove 274 further enhances the vertical restraint of the cover plate 21, thereby further improving the installation stability of the cover plate 21 and the box body 1. In addition, the first connecting portion 271 may be arranged to abut against the side surface of the box body 1 along the first direction, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the box cover and the box body 1 along the first direction.
[0039] In addition, a second limiting portion 12 can be provided on both sides of the box body 1 along the first direction, and a first limiting portion 273 can be provided on the side of the first connecting portion 271 toward the box body 1, so that the cover plate 21 can be snap-connected with the box body 1 on all other sides except the side adjacent to the other cover plate 21, and the connection stability is high.
[0040] Furthermore, two positioning portions 28 are provided on the side of the cover 21 facing the box body 1, and the length of the positioning portion 28 extends along the first direction. The two positioning portions 28 are respectively arranged at intervals on one side of the second connecting portion 272, and the positioning portions 28 and the adjacent second connecting portions 272 are spaced apart to form a second limiting groove 29. The box body 1 includes a bottom plate 13 and two first side plates 14 and two second side plates 15 arranged on the bottom plate 13. The two first side plates 14 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the two ends of the two first side plates 14 along the first direction are respectively connected by a second side plate 15. The bottom plate 13, the two first side plates 14 and the two second side plates 15 are enclosed to form the box body 1, and each first side plate 14 is correspondingly inserted into a second limiting groove 29. The first side panel 14 of the box body 1 is restricted by forming a second limiting groove 29 by spacing the positioning portion 28 and the second connecting portion 272, and the two first side panels 14 are respectively provided with a corresponding second limiting groove 29, which ensures stable connection, reduces the movement space of the cover plate 21 along the second direction, and ensures the stability of the installation position of the cover plate 21 and the box body 1.
[0041] In some embodiments, a confluence groove 16 is provided at the bottom of the receiving tank 11. The bottom of the receiving tank 11 is at least partially inclined, and an inclined surface 111 of the bottom of the receiving tank 11 slopes downward from an end away from the confluence groove 16 toward an end adjacent to the confluence groove 16. The provision of the inclined surface 111 improves the self-flowing properties of the raw materials in the receiving tank 11 under the action of gravity, facilitates the collection of raw materials at the bottom of the receiving tank 11 into the confluence groove 16 along the inclined surface 111, reduces the accumulation of raw materials at the bottom of the receiving tank 11, and improves the utilization rate of the raw materials in the receiving tank 11.
[0042] Optionally, the cover plate 21 is provided with a quick-connect plug 3 for quick connection to external pipes. The connecting pipe connected to the quick plug 3 extends into the confluence trough 16. The provision of the quick plug 3 reduces the number of connecting holes for external pipes in the cover plate 21, thereby ensuring the protective performance of the cover plate 21. For example, the quick plug 3 can be screwed or threaded onto the joint of the external pipe, thereby enabling the external pipe to communicate with the receiving trough 11 through the connecting pipe of the quick plug 3, which is convenient and quick.
[0043] Further, if Figure 4 As shown, due to the arrangement of the confluence groove 16, the bottom of the box body 1 has a certain thickness. To reduce the effect of the excessive weight of the box body 1 caused by the material of this thickness, a plurality of weight-reducing grooves 17 are provided at intervals on the bottom of the box body 1. All weight-reducing grooves 17 are arranged around the periphery of the confluence groove 16, and two adjacent weight-reducing grooves 17 are separated by partitions, which can serve as reinforcements. The arrangement of the weight-reducing grooves 17 can effectively reduce the structural weight of the box body 1, making the structure of the box body 1 lightweight.
[0044] Preferably, if Figure 1As shown, the box body 1 is a transparent box, with scale lines 4 arranged along a vertical direction on one side. The transparent box body 1 and scale lines 4 facilitate the operator's observation of the raw material inventory within the box, allowing for timely replenishment. Furthermore, the box body 1 includes handles 5, which are provided on at least two opposing side panels of the box body 1 perpendicular to the vertical direction. Specifically, handles 5 are provided on both sides of the box body 1 in the first direction, on both sides of the box body 1 in the second direction, or on both sides of the box body 1 in the first and second directions, facilitating the operator's transfer of the box body 1 and enhancing its mobility.
[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a tea drinking machine, comprising a cabinet 100 and a raw material box 200 as in any of the above embodiments, wherein a refrigeration chamber 101 is provided in the cabinet 100, and the raw material box 200 is disposed in the refrigeration chamber 101. By utilizing the raw material box 200, the raw materials of the tea drinking machine are highly safe.
