[0044] A carrying platform may be provided inside the box 100 , and the carrying member 101 is provided on the carrying platform.

[0045] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the optional scheme of this embodiment, the distribution power assembly 210 includes a distribution power part and two transmission rods 211; the inner door flip part 220 includes two inner doors 221, and each transmission rod 211 is provided with an inner door 221, so that the distribution power part can drive the inner door 221 to rotate through the transmission rod 211.

[0046] A weighing sensor is provided between the inner door 221 and the transmission rod 211 .

[0047] Specifically, a weighing sensor is arranged between the inner door 221 and the transmission rod 211. Therefore, when the upper refrigeration storage device 300 arranged on the upper part of the box body 100 discharges food downward, the weighing sensor can measure the weight of the food on the inner door 221 in real time. The food dispenser provided in this embodiment can be connected to other devices through a central controller or a control structure, so that the upper refrigeration storage device 300 stops discharging food.

[0048] Among them, a material discharge roller 310 is set at the bottom of the upper refrigeration storage device 300. The interior of the upper refrigeration storage device 300 is a refrigeration storage environment. The food in the upper refrigeration storage device 300 is discharged downward to the inner door 221 through the material discharge roller 310.

[0049] In addition, when the weight of the food on the inner door 221 reaches the required weight, the distribution power component will work, the distribution power component drives the transmission rod 211 to rotate, and the transmission rod 211 drives the inner door 221 to rotate, so that the inner door 221 opens downward, and the inner door 221 will abut against the outer door 231 below, so that the inner door 221 will push the outer door 231 to open synchronously, so that the food falls onto the carrier 101.

[0050] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the optional scheme of this embodiment, the distribution power component includes a power source 212, an intermediate mounting plate 213 and a driving rack 214; the intermediate mounting plate 213 is set on the mounting frame 110, and the power source 212 is installed on the intermediate mounting plate 213; the output end of the power source 212 is provided with an output gear 215, the output gear 215 is engaged with the driving rack 214, and the transmission rod 211 is provided with a driven gear 216 adapted to the driving rack 214.

[0051] A guide rail 218 is provided on the middle mounting plate 213 , and a guide groove adapted to the guide rail 218 is provided on the driving rack 214 so that the driving rack 214 can be slidably arranged on the middle mounting plate 213 .

[0052] The transmission rod 211 is divided into a first transmission rod 211 and a second transmission rod 211 ; the first transmission rod 211 is connected to the driving rack 214 via a driven gear 216 ; the second transmission rod 211 is connected to the driving rack 214 via a driven gear 216 and a pinion 217 .

[0053] The outer door flip member 230 includes two outer doors 231, each of which is pivotally connected to the mounting frame 110, and the resetting elastic member 240 is located between the outer door 231 and the mounting frame 110. The resetting elastic member 240 is a torsion spring.

[0054] Specifically, during the food distribution process, food is placed on the inner door 221, and then the weighing sensor between the inner door 221 and the transmission rod 211 will be weighed. When the weight of the food reaches the required amount, the power source 212 works, and the power source 212 drives the output gear 215 to rotate. The rotation of the output gear 215 drives the drive rack 214 to move horizontally. The moving direction of the drive rack 214 is determined by the forward and reverse rotation of the output gear 215. The bottom of the drive rack 214 is engaged with the output gear 215, and the fixed part of the drive rack 214 is engaged with the driven gear 216. When the drive rack 21 When the drive rack 214 moves, it drives the driven gear 216 to rotate. Specifically, when the drive rack 214 moves, it drives the driven gear 216 on the first transmission rod 211 to directly rotate the first transmission rod 211, thereby rotating one inner door 221. Simultaneously, the drive rack 214 drives the second transmission rod 211 to rotate by driving the driven gear 216 and the pinion 217, thereby rotating the other inner door 221. The rotation of the two inner doors 221 drives the two outer doors 231 below to open, allowing food to fall onto the carrier 101. After the power source 212 drives the two inner doors 221 to return to their original positions, the two outer doors 231 are reset via the torsion springs.

[0055] In addition, a travel limit seat 250 is provided on the intermediate mounting plate 213, and a limit block adapted to the travel limit seat 250 is provided on the drive rack 214; the travel limit seat 250 is in an N-shape. Limit switches 260 are provided on the intermediate mounting plate 213, two of which are located at either end of the intermediate mounting plate 213 along the direction of movement of the drive rack 214. The limit switches 260 limit the travel of the drive rack 214. The travel limit seat 250 and the limit switches 260 limit the travel of the drive rack 214. The travel limit seat 250 physically limits the drive rack 214. When the end of the drive rack 214 triggers the limit switch 260, the power source 212 is disconnected, thereby ensuring that the drive rack 214 moves within the normal range.

[0056] It should be pointed out that the food dispenser provided in this embodiment utilizes a double-door structure of an inner door 221 and an outer door 231 to make the food dispenser more sealed, and the rack and pinion structure makes the opening and closing response of the flip door more timely and the angle more precise, thereby reducing the failure rate while reducing the cold leakage of the box 100, reducing the startup ratio of the compressor, and reducing the energy consumption of the entire machine.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
