[0026] Figure 1The utility model discloses a kind of rice shaping devices of automatic food vending machine, comprising: be provided in the rice cup component 1 of the rice plate assembly 4 end with the rice space of containing rice, be provided in the cutting and scraping rice plate component 2 above rice plate, further comprising: rice shaping component 3 that extends into rice cup component 1, and rice is shaped;Wherein, the rice shaping component 3 includes: be provided in the transmission component 301 above rice plate assembly 4, hollow structure's connecting rod 302 that extends into rice cup component 1 inside, the shaping cover 303 for rice shaping is provided in the connecting rod 302 bottom, the transmission component 301 is connected with the transmission of connecting rod 302 upper end, to make connecting rod 302 move up and down in spatial position.
[0027] Working principle:
[0028] First, rice plate assembly 4 will clamp a certain amount of rice, then moves to the above of rice cup component 1. The design of rice plate assembly 4 can ensure that rice is stably clamped, to avoid the scattering of rice in the moving process.
[0029] Then, cutting and scraping rice plate component 2 starts to work. Since cutting and scraping rice plate component 2 has two spatial degrees of freedom, it can flexibly move in two directions, so as to accurately scrape the rice on the rice plate into rice cup component 1. This step ensures that the rice can be evenly and completely into rice cup component 1, avoiding the loss of rice in the transfer process. When the rice is scraped into rice cup component 1, rice shaping component 3 starts to work. The role of transmission component 301 is to drive connecting rod 302 to move up and down in spatial position through some transmission mechanism (such as motor, air cylinder, gear, etc.). Connecting rod 302 has a hollow structure, and the bottom thereof is provided with shaping cover 303. When transmission component 301 drives connecting rod 302 to move downward, shaping cover 303 will extend into the inside of rice cup component 1, and after shaping, transmission component 301 drives connecting rod 302 to move upward again, and shaping cover 303 is withdrawn from rice cup component 1. Through appropriate pressure and shape adjustment, rice shaping component 3 will compact and flatten the rice, so as to present an attractive appearance. This step not only improves the appearance of food, but also ensures the compactness and taste of rice.
[0030] In the above scheme, the rice cup component 1 includes: a rice cup 101 provided above the rice plate assembly, a cylinder component I 102 connected to one side above the rice cup 101 to move the rice cup 101 up and down in space;
[0031] The width of the rice plate assembly 4 is greater than the width of the rice bowl 101. With this technical method, first of all, the air cylinder component I 102 in the rice bowl assembly 1 plays a key role. The air cylinder component I 102 is connected to one side above the rice bowl 101, which can control the space up and down movement of the rice bowl 101. This design makes the rice bowl 101 can be lifted according to the needs of work, in order to cooperate with the rice plate assembly 4 and the cutting and scraping rice plate assembly 2.
[0032] In the above scheme, the cutting and scraping rice plate assembly 2 includes: an L-shaped cutting and scraping rice plate 201 arranged above the rice conveying belt assembly, an air cylinder component II 202 connected to one side of the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 up and down in space, and a longitudinal driving component to drive the air cylinder component II to move longitudinally in space. With this technical method, first of all, the air cylinder component II is started to drive the lower end of the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to be attached to the rice conveying device. Then, the longitudinal driving component starts to work to drive the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move towards the rice bowl, so that the rice is scraped into the rice bowl. After the rice is scraped, the air cylinder component II 202 drives the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move up, and the longitudinal driving component can drive the air cylinder component II 202 to move back to the initial position again. The next round of rice scraping operation is carried out.
[0033] In the above scheme, the longitudinal driving component includes a connecting block 203 connected to the air cylinder component II 202, and one side of the connecting block 203 is connected to the output shaft of the longitudinal driving air cylinder 204. With this technical method, first of all, the air cylinder component II 202 is connected to one side of the cutting and scraping rice plate 201, which is responsible for controlling the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move up and down in space. The cutting and scraping rice plate 201 can be lifted according to the needs, when the rice plate assembly 4 takes and moves the rice above the rice bowl assembly 1, the air cylinder component II 202 drives the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move down, so that it is closely attached to the two sides of the rice plate assembly 4.
[0034] Then the longitudinal driving air cylinder 204 starts to work. It drives the air cylinder component II 202 to move longitudinally in space, ensuring that the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 can accurately scrape all the rice above the rice plate assembly 4 into the rice bowl 101.
[0035] Because the cutting and scraping rice plate assembly 2 has two degrees of freedom in space, it not only can move up and down under the drive of the air cylinder component II 202, but also can move laterally under the control of other driving components. In this way, the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 can move along the surface of the rice plate and scrape the rice evenly into the rice bowl 101.
[0036] When the rice is completely scraped into the rice bowl 101, the air cylinder component II 202 works again to drive the cutting and scraping rice plate 201 to move up to the initial position, preparing for the next rice scraping operation.
[0037] In the above scheme, further comprising: a rotating component 304 arranged in the middle of the connecting rod 302, the output end of the rotating component 304 is provided with a stirring blade 305; wherein the stirring blade 305 is located on the lower surface of the shaping cover 303, and the upper surface of the stirring blade 305 is consistent with the shape of the lower surface of the shaping cover 303. By using this technical method, the main function of the stirring blade 305 is to make the surface of the rice in the rice cup 101 more flat by rotating. When the driving component 301 drives the connecting rod 302 to descend, so that the stirring blade 305 contacts the rice, the rotating component 304 starts to work, and drives the stirring blade 305 to rotate in the rice cup 101. The rotating action of the stirring blade 305 will drive the movement and redistribution of the rice. Since the upper surface of the stirring blade 305 is consistent with the shape of the lower surface of the shaping cover 303, the stirring blade 305 can fit the shape of the inside of the rice cup 101 when rotating, and push the rice to the edge of the rice cup 101, while filling the gaps in the rice, so that the surface of the rice becomes more flat.
[0038] In addition, the rotation of the stirring blade 305 can also break the clumps and uneven parts in the rice, so that it becomes more loose and uniform. The uniformly distributed rice is easier to be compacted and shaped by the shaping cover 303, so that a more beautiful and compact rice shape is obtained.
[0039] Although the embodiments of the present application have been disclosed as above, it is not limited to the application listed in the specification and the embodiments, and can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present application. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily realized, and therefore the present application is not limited to specific details and the figures shown and described herein.
