[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is a magnetic feeding device for a cooking machine, including a fixed base and a feeding box 3. The fixed base includes a housing 1 and a drive assembly inside the housing 1. An electromagnetic assembly 2 is provided on one side of the fixed base. The electromagnetic assembly 2 includes a rotating arm 21 and an electromagnet 22. One end of the rotating arm 21 is connected to the drive assembly through a rotating shaft 4 and can rotate around the rotating shaft 4 under the drive of the drive assembly. The other end of the rotating arm 21 is equipped with an electromagnet 22. The feeding box 3 is provided with a magnet 31 for cooperating with the electromagnet 22, and the magnet 31 is integrally formed with the feeding box 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a motor 6 and a gear set 5. The motor 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 4 via the gear set 5, causing the motor 6 to drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The drive assembly also includes a controller 7, which is connected to the control center of the cooking machine and is used to receive the feeding signal from the control center and control the operation of the motor 6. The controller 7 can be a microcontroller.

[0023] In this embodiment, the ingredient box 3 is a rectangular box, and a magnet 31 is disposed on one side of the ingredient box 3. The magnet 31 is made of iron, while the ingredient box 3 is made of plastic. The magnet 31 and the ingredient box 3 are integrally injection molded. Vertical stripes 32 are provided on the inner side wall of the ingredient box 3. The vertical stripes 32 help the food slide out of the ingredient box 3 more smoothly and reduce jamming.

[0024] In this embodiment, electromagnet 22 is also connected to the control center of the cooking machine and receives signals from the control center to control whether it generates magnetic force. Specifically, the on / off state of the electromagnet 22 circuit can be controlled by the control center of the cooking machine. When the electromagnet 22 circuit is energized, the electromagnet 22 generates magnetic force; conversely, when the power is off, the magnetic force of the electromagnet 22 disappears.

This causes the rotating arm 21 and electromagnet 22 to work together, switching the magnetic feeding device to different operating states to achieve corresponding objectives, such as attracting the electromagnet 22 to the food container 3 (attractive state) or flipping the food container 3 to complete the feeding (flipped feeding state). Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic feeding device can switch between these states repeatedly.
