Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring cup technology, specifically to a measuring cup with material leveling function. Background Technology
[0002] Measuring cups, as weighing objects, are typically used to measure the volume of liquids or dry substances. When containing solids, due to the pouring process, the top surface of the material is often convex, requiring leveling before taking the reading.
[0003] The current methods for leveling the material include directly leveling the top surface by hand, which is inconvenient as it involves inserting the measuring cup manually; or shaking the measuring cup by hand to level the material, which can easily cause the top surface of the material to tilt, resulting in inaccurate readings.
[0004] Therefore, this solution provides a measuring cup with material leveling function. By setting an auxiliary structure to vibrate the measuring cup body up and down, the material leveling effect is improved. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to at least solve the problem in the prior art that the top surface of loose, dry materials needs to be leveled before reading.
[0006] This solution provides a measuring cup with material leveling function, achieved by the following specific technical means: including a measuring cup body and an up-and-down oscillation mechanism used in conjunction with the measuring cup body; the up-and-down oscillation mechanism includes a base, and a support plate is connected to the center of the base by a spring. The support plate is used to place the measuring cup body. At the same time, the up-and-down oscillation mechanism is provided with limit components around its periphery. The limit components are distributed around the measuring cup body to limit the left and right movement of the measuring cup body.
[0007] Preferred technical solution 1: Multiple sets of limiting components arranged around the base are rotatably mounted with rollers at their contact points with the measuring cup body wall, and the rollers contact the measuring cup body wall.
[0008] Preferred technical solution 2: The limiting component includes a protrusion fixed to the side of the base, a rotating shaft rotatably mounted on the protrusion, and a connecting rod fixed on the rotating shaft, with a roller rotatably mounted on the top of the connecting rod.
[0009] Preferred technical solution 3: An annular disk rotates on the base, and turbine-shaped teeth are distributed on the annular disk. The turbine-shaped teeth on the annular disk simultaneously mesh with gears fixed on multiple sets of rotating shafts.
[0010] Preferred technical solution four: A ring frame assembly is provided above the base. The ring frame assembly consists of a ring frame one and a ring frame two. The ring frame one and the ring frame two are connected by a folding rod assembly. The number of the folding rod assemblies is equal to the number of the limiting components and their positions correspond one-to-one. The bottom end of one set of folding rod assemblies is hinged to the top end of the corresponding set of connecting rods.
[0011] Preferred technical solution five: The top of the folding rod assembly also has rollers.
[0012] The above structure gives this solution the following advantages:
[0013] 1. The use of a tray and spring not only allows the spring to undergo elastic deformation when materials are poured into the vector cup, but also achieves the technical effect of simultaneous injection and vibration.
[0014] 2. After the injection is completed, if the top surface of the material is not flat, you can manually press the measuring cup body to deform the spring and then vibrate it to flatten it again.
[0015] 3. The limiting component is set to limit the measuring cup body when it vibrates up and down, and at the same time, the rollers prevent hard scratches and collisions. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 A measuring cup with material leveling function includes a measuring cup body 1 and an up-and-down oscillation mechanism 2 used in conjunction with the measuring cup body 1. The up-and-down oscillation mechanism 2 includes a base 21, and a support plate 22 is connected to the center of the base 21 by a spring 23. The support plate 22 is used to place the measuring cup body 1. At the same time, the up-and-down oscillation mechanism 2 is provided with limit components 24 around the periphery. The limit components 24 are distributed around the measuring cup body 1 to limit the left and right movement of the measuring cup body 1. In use, the material inside the measuring cup body 1 is oscillated up and down by pressing the measuring cup body 1 to compress the spring 23, thereby leveling the material.
[0025] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The measuring cup with material leveling function has multiple sets of limiting components 24 arranged around the base 21, and rollers 241 are rotatably installed at the contact points with the wall of the measuring cup body 1. The rollers 241 contact the wall of the measuring cup body 1 to avoid scratching between the limiting components 24 and the measuring cup body 1.
[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The measuring cup with material leveling function includes a limiting component 24 comprising a protrusion 242 fixed to the side of the base 21, a rotating shaft 25 rotating on the protrusion 242, and a connecting rod 243 fixed on the rotating shaft 25. A roller 241 is rotatably mounted on the top of the connecting rod 243. An annular disk 26 rotates on the base 21, and turbine-shaped teeth 27 are distributed on the annular disk 26. The turbine-shaped teeth 27 on the annular disk 26 mesh with gears 28 fixed on multiple sets of rotating shafts 25. The setting of the annular disk 26 can achieve the technical effect of simultaneously driving multiple sets of rotating shafts 25 to rotate, thereby synchronously controlling the tops of multiple sets of connecting rods 243 to move closer or further apart.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 and Figure 4 The measuring cup with material leveling function has a ring frame assembly 29 located above the base 21. The ring frame assembly 29 consists of a ring frame 1 291 and a ring frame 292. The ring frame 1 291 and the ring frame 292 are connected by a folding rod assembly 210. The number of folding rod assemblies 210 is equal to the number of limiting components 24 and their positions correspond one-to-one. The bottom end of one set of folding rod assemblies 210 is hinged to the top end of a corresponding set of connecting rods 243. The inner diameter of the ring frame 1 291 and the ring frame 292 is larger than the diameter of the measuring cup body 1. The ring frame 1 291 and the ring frame 292 provide support for multiple sets of folding rod assemblies 210.
[0028] The folding rod assembly 210 includes a first folding rod 2101 and a second folding rod 2102. The top end of the first folding rod 2101 and the bottom end of the second folding rod 2102 are hinged together. At the same time, the bottom end of the first folding rod 2101 is hinged to the top end of the connecting rod 243. The top end of the second folding rod 2102 is also rotatably mounted with a roller 241. The setting of rollers 241 at different heights can more stably limit the position of the measuring cup body 1. The middle part of the first folding rod 2101 is hinged to the first ring frame 291, and the middle part of the second folding rod 2102 is hinged to the second ring frame 292. The first ring frame 291 and the second ring frame 292 are preferably transparent frames. When the top ends of the connecting rod 243 are close to each other, the folding rod assembly 210 is also in a folded state, so that the top and bottom ends of the folding rod assembly 210 are close to the measuring cup body 1.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
