Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and in particular to a rice bucket. Background Technology

[0002] Most rice containers on the market only have the single function of storing rice. Before cooking, users need to open the lid and manually take out the rice. Users can only estimate the amount of rice to be dispensed based on experience and cannot accurately control the amount of rice dispensed. Some rice containers on the market do have an automatic rice dispensing function, but these generally can only dispense rice at a single capacity and cannot adjust the amount of rice dispensed according to the user's needs, which reduces the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a rice container to solve the problem that ordinary rice containers can only dispense rice at a single capacity and cannot adjust the amount of rice dispensed according to user needs, thus reducing the user experience.

[0004] This application provides a rice container, which includes a rice dispensing seat and a rice dispensing compartment. The rice dispensing seat includes at least two rice dispensing holes, and the rice dispensing compartment includes at least two mutually isolated rice dispensing cavities, each rice dispensing cavity having an opening.

[0005] The rice dispensing compartment is movable relative to the rice dispensing seat, so that the openings of each rice dispensing cavity are connected to the rice dispensing holes in a one-to-one correspondence, or that the openings of some rice dispensing cavities are connected to some rice dispensing holes in a one-to-one correspondence, while the openings of other rice dispensing cavities are isolated from other rice dispensing holes.

[0006] When the user needs to dispense a small amount of rice, the rice dispensing compartment moves until the openings of some dispensing chambers are connected to a corresponding set of dispensing holes, allowing rice to flow out through these holes. However, the openings of other dispensing chambers are disconnected from their corresponding holes, preventing rice from flowing out. In this state, the openings of the dispensing chambers are not uniformly connected to the dispensing holes, and the rice container operates at a low dispensing setting. Therefore, the user can only dispense a portion of the rice from the rice dispensing compartment.

[0007] When a user needs to take a large amount of rice, the rice dispensing compartment is driven to connect with the corresponding rice dispensing holes, allowing all the rice in each compartment to flow out through their respective dispensing holes. At this time, the rice bucket is in the high-dispensing mode. Therefore, the user can take out all the rice from the rice dispensing compartment through the rice bucket.

[0008] Therefore, by setting two isolated rice dispensing chambers and corresponding rice dispensing holes that can be connected or disconnected from the dispensing chambers, users can adjust the amount of rice dispensed by moving the rice dispensing chamber to different positions. This allows users to dispense rice according to their actual needs, avoiding the risk of inaccurate rice dispensing when using traditional manual scooping methods. This reduces the risk of waste due to excessive rice dispensing and improves the user experience.

[0009] In this design, the rice dispensing seat is rotatably connected to the rice dispensing bin, and adjacent rice dispensing holes are staggered along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin.

[0010] In this scheme, when the rice bucket is in the low-speed rice dispensing state, the adjacent rice dispensing holes are staggered along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing compartment. This allows the openings of some rice dispensing chambers to preferentially connect with their corresponding rice dispensing holes, while preventing the openings of other rice dispensing chambers from rotating to their corresponding rice dispensing holes. In other words, the outer wall of this part of the rice dispensing chamber blocks its corresponding rice dispensing hole, improving the feasibility and reliability of preventing rice from being dispensed in the low-speed rice dispensing state. This, in turn, improves the feasibility and reliability of switching the rice bucket to the low-speed rice dispensing state by rotation.

[0011] In this scheme, at least two rice dispensing chambers are distributed along a first direction, and at least two rice dispensing holes are distributed along a first direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin.

[0012] In this design, when the rice container is in the high-discharge mode, since at least two discharging chambers and at least two discharging holes are distributed along a first direction, the openings of some discharging chambers coincide with their corresponding discharging holes, and the openings of other discharging chambers are at least connected to or coincide with their corresponding discharging holes. This ensures that rice in each discharging chamber can flow out through the discharging holes in this state, improving the feasibility and reliability of discharging rice from each chamber. This also improves the feasibility and reliability of switching the rice container to the high-discharge mode by rotation. Furthermore, the fact that the discharging chambers are distributed along the first direction, meaning the distribution direction is different from the rotation direction of the rice container, helps reduce the volume of the rice container along the rotation direction, thus reducing the space occupied by the rice container.

[0013] In this solution, the rice dispensing chamber includes a first rice dispensing chamber and a second rice dispensing chamber, and the rice dispensing hole includes a first rice dispensing hole and a second rice dispensing hole. The projection of the opening of the first rice dispensing chamber toward the first rice dispensing hole can cover the first rice dispensing hole, and the projection of the opening of the second rice dispensing chamber toward the second rice dispensing hole can cover the second rice dispensing hole.

[0014] The volume of the first rice dispensing cavity is greater than the volume of the second rice dispensing cavity, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first rice dispensing hole is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second rice dispensing hole.

[0015] Therefore, when the rice container is in the low-discharge mode, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first rice discharge hole is larger than that of the second rice discharge hole. That is, the second rice discharge hole is smaller than the first rice discharge hole. This prevents the risk that the projection of the opening of the first rice discharge cavity towards the first rice discharge hole will cover the first rice discharge hole. In other words, it prevents the risk of the second rice discharge hole and the opening of the second rice discharge cavity from communicating, thus improving the feasibility and reliability of the rice container having a low-discharge mode.

[0016] In this solution, the rice container also includes an inner lid, which is detachably connected to the rice dispensing seat, and the rice dispensing compartment is located between the inner lid and the rice dispensing seat. The inner lid includes a rice inlet hole.

[0017] The rice container has a rice dispensing state and a rice feeding state. In the rice feeding state, the rice feeding hole can communicate with the opening of the rice dispensing chamber, and the outer wall of the rice dispensing chamber can block the rice dispensing hole. In the rice dispensing state, the outer wall of the rice dispensing chamber can block the rice feeding hole.

[0018] In this scheme, the rice dispensing states include the aforementioned low-speed and high-speed dispensing states. Before dispensing, the rice container should be switched to the rice-feeding state so that rice flows through the rice-feeding holes into the rice-dispensing chambers, filling each chamber. Only then can the rice container dispense rice from the rice-dispensing chambers. Simultaneously, in the rice-feeding state, the outer wall of the rice-dispensing chambers blocks the rice-dispensing holes, meaning the rice container can only dispense rice, not dispense it, to ensure the accuracy of the rice feeding. In the rice dispensing state, the outer wall of the rice-dispensing chambers blocks the rice-feeding holes, ensuring the rice container can only dispense rice, not dispense it, to ensure the accuracy of the rice dispensing.

[0019] In this solution, the outer wall of the rice dispensing chamber includes an integrally formed first outer wall and a second outer wall. The first outer wall has a straight structure, and the second outer wall has a circular arc structure. The inner cover includes a first mounting groove, and the rice inlet hole is disposed on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove. The rice dispensing seat includes a second mounting groove, and at least two rice dispensing holes are disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove. The bottom walls of the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove are both circular arcs. The first mounting groove and the second mounting groove form a receiving cavity for accommodating the rice dispensing compartment.

[0020] In this design, the first outer wall has a flat structure, so that the shape of the first outer wall is different from that of the bottom wall of the first mounting groove and the bottom wall of the second mounting groove. This results in a larger gap between the first outer wall and the bottom walls of the first and second mounting grooves compared to the gap between the second outer wall and the bottom walls of the first and second mounting grooves. This reduces the risk of rice getting stuck between the outer wall of the rice dispensing bin and the first and second mounting grooves during the rotation of the rice dispensing bin, thereby allowing the rice to flow smoothly from the rice dispensing hole. This also reduces the risk of the rice dispensing bin failing to rotate due to rice jamming, and improves the reliability of the rice bucket smoothly switching to different states.

[0021] In this solution, the rice bucket also includes a rice storage section and an outer cover. One end of the rice storage section is detachably connected to the rice dispensing seat, and the other end is detachably connected to the outer cover. The outer cover is provided with a rice inlet, and the rice storage section communicates with the rice inlet and the rice inlet hole.

[0022] In this solution, the rice storage section is used for storing rice. Users transfer rice from the bagged rice they purchased to the storage section through the rice inlet. Storing the rice in the storage section reduces the risk of the rice becoming damp and spoiling. At the same time, the storage section has a large capacity, which can store a large amount of rice, allowing the rice container to dispense rice multiple times, making it convenient for users to take rice frequently.

[0023] In this solution, the rice storage section includes a first locking groove, and the rice dispensing seat includes a movable buckle, wherein the first locking groove engages with the movable buckle.

[0024] In this design, the rice storage section is equipped with a first receiving groove, and the rice dispensing seat is equipped with a movable buckle, so that the rice storage section and the rice dispensing seat can be detachably connected, allowing users to clean the rice storage section and the rice dispensing seat, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0025] In this solution, the rice bucket also includes a knob located outside the rice dispensing seat, and the rice dispensing compartment is fixedly connected to a driving unit. The knob is fixedly connected to the driving unit and is used to drive the rice dispensing compartment to rotate.

[0026] In this design, users can rotate a knob to drive the rice container to different states. Therefore, users only need to turn one knob to different angles to switch the rice container to different states. This allows users to switch the rice container's state with one hand, making operation convenient and greatly improving the user experience.

[0027] In this solution, the rice bucket also includes a rice dispensing box, which is connected to the rice dispensing hole. The rice dispensing seat also includes a receiving groove, in which the rice dispensing box is located and can slide relative to the receiving groove.

[0028] In this design, when the rice container is in the rice dispensing state, the rice in the rice dispensing compartment flows through the rice dispensing hole into the rice retrieval box. After dispensing is complete, the user can pull the rice retrieval box out of the receiving slot to retrieve the rice. Therefore, the rice retrieval box can slide relative to the receiving slot, allowing the user to pull it out to retrieve the rice.

[0071] The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and form part of this specification, illustrate embodiments consistent with this application and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0072] To better understand the technical solution of this application, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0073] In one specific embodiment, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0074] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0075] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0076] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0077] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0078] The first aspect of this application provides a rice bucket 1, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the rice container 1 includes a rice dispensing seat 11 and a rice dispensing chamber 12. The rice dispensing seat 11 includes at least two rice dispensing holes 1111. The rice dispensing chamber 12 includes at least two mutually isolated rice dispensing cavities 121, and each rice dispensing cavity 121 includes an opening.

[0079] Among them, the rice dispensing chamber 12 can move relative to the rice dispensing seat 11 so that the opening of each rice dispensing chamber 121 is connected to the rice dispensing hole 1111 in a one-to-one correspondence, or, the opening of a part of the rice dispensing chamber 121 is connected to a part of the rice dispensing hole 1111 in a one-to-one correspondence, while the opening of another part of the rice dispensing chamber 121 is isolated from another part of the rice dispensing hole 1111.

[0080] When the user needs to take a small amount of rice, the rice dispensing bin 12 is moved until the openings of a portion of the rice dispensing chambers 121 are connected to a portion of the rice dispensing holes 1111, allowing the rice in that portion of the rice dispensing chambers 121 to flow out through the corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111. However, the openings of another portion of the rice dispensing chambers 121 are isolated from the other portion of the corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111, preventing the rice in that portion of the rice dispensing chambers 121 from flowing out through the corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111. In this case, the openings of the rice dispensing chambers 121 are not evenly connected to the corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111. At this time, the rice container 1 is in a state of... Figure 3 The rice is dispensed at the lower setting shown. Therefore, the user can only take out a portion of the rice from the rice container 12 through the rice bucket 1.

[0081] When a user needs to take a large amount of rice, the rice dispensing chamber 12 is driven to move until the opening of the rice dispensing cavity 121 is connected to the corresponding rice dispensing hole 1111. This allows the rice in each rice cavity to flow out through its corresponding rice dispensing hole 1111. At this time, the rice container 1 is in a state of... Figure 4 The rice is dispensed at the highest setting shown. Therefore, the user can take out all the rice from the rice container 12 through the rice bucket 1.

[0082] Therefore, by setting two mutually isolated rice dispensing chambers 121 and corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111 that can be connected or not connected to the rice dispensing chambers 121, the user can adjust the amount of rice dispensed by driving the rice dispensing chamber 121 to different positions. This allows the user to take rice according to their actual needs, while avoiding the risk of not being able to accurately control the amount of rice dispensed by the traditional manual scooping method. This reduces the risk of waste due to taking too much rice and improves the user experience.

[0083] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the rice dispensing seat 11 is rotatably connected to the rice dispensing bin 12. Along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin 12, adjacent rice dispensing holes 1111 are staggered, that is, the projections of adjacent rice dispensing holes 1111 along the axial direction of the rice dispensing bin 12 do not coincide.

[0084] Specifically, users can adjust the position of the rice dispenser 12 by rotating it, thereby adjusting the amount of rice dispensed from the rice container 1. The direction of rotation can be... Figure 1The direction indicated by the dashed arrow. Therefore, rice bucket 1 is in the position as shown. Figure 3 When the rice is dispensed at the low setting, the adjacent rice dispensing holes 1111 are staggered along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing chamber 12. This allows the openings of some rice dispensing chambers 121 to preferentially connect with their corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111, while preventing the openings of other rice dispensing chambers 121 from rotating to connect with their corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111. In other words, the outer wall 1213 of this part of the rice dispensing chamber 121 blocks its corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111, improving the feasibility and reliability of this part of the rice dispensing chamber 121 not dispensing rice in the low setting, and thus improving the feasibility and reliability of the rice bucket 1 switching to the low setting rice dispensing state by rotation.

[0085] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, at least two rice dispensing chambers 121 are distributed along the first direction X, that is, the openings of at least two rice dispensing bins 12 are distributed along the first direction X, and at least two rice dispensing holes 1111 are distributed along the first direction X. The first direction X is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bins 12.

[0086] It should be noted that, as Figure 1 As shown, the first direction X can be the thickness direction of the rice bucket 1.

[0087] In this embodiment, when the rice container 1 is in such a state Figure 4 In the high-discharge rice dispensing state shown, since at least two rice dispensing chambers 121 and at least two rice dispensing holes 1111 are distributed along the first direction X, when the openings of some rice dispensing chambers 121 coincide with their corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111, and the openings of other rice dispensing chambers 121 coincide with their corresponding rice dispensing holes 1111, the rice can flow out through the rice dispensing holes 1111 in this state. This improves the feasibility and reliability of dispensing rice from each rice dispensing chamber 121 in this state, and further improves the feasibility and reliability of switching the rice bucket 1 to the high-discharge rice dispensing state by rotation. Simultaneously, the first direction X is perpendicular to the rotation direction of the rice dispensing compartment 12, meaning the distribution direction of each rice dispensing chamber 121 is different from the rotation direction of the rice dispensing compartment 12. This helps to reduce the volume of the rice bucket 1 along the rotation direction, and thus helps to reduce the space occupied by the rice bucket 1.

[0088] In another possible implementation, each rice dispensing cavity 121 can also be isolated along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin 12, that is, the opening of each rice dispensing cavity 121 can also be arranged along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin 12, and adjacent rice dispensing holes 1111 are staggered along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing bin 12, and at least the rice dispensing holes 1111 are distributed along the first direction X. As long as the rice bucket 1 can have a low-level rice dispensing state and a high-level rice dispensing state, it is acceptable.

[0089] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 , Figures 3-8 As shown, the rice dispensing cavity 121 includes a first rice dispensing cavity 1211 and a second rice dispensing cavity 1212, and the rice dispensing hole 1111 includes a first rice dispensing hole 1111a and a second rice dispensing hole 1111b. The projection of the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 toward the first rice dispensing hole 1111a can cover the first rice dispensing hole 1111a, and the projection of the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 toward the second rice dispensing hole 1111b can cover the second rice dispensing hole 1111b.

[0090] The volume of the first rice outlet cavity 1211 is greater than the volume of the second rice outlet cavity 1212, that is, the amount of rice stored in the first rice outlet cavity 1211 is greater than the amount of rice stored in the second rice outlet cavity 1212, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the first rice outlet hole 1111a is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second rice outlet hole 1111b.

[0091] The following description takes the example of rice dispensing cavity 121 having a first rice dispensing cavity 1211 and a second rice dispensing cavity 1212, and rice dispensing hole 1111 including a first rice dispensing hole 1111a and a second rice dispensing hole 1111b.

[0092] Specifically, when rice bucket 1 needs to be switched to such Figure 3 In the low-speed rice dispensing state shown, the user drives the rice dispensing chamber 12 to rotate until the projection of the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 toward the first rice dispensing hole 1111a covers the first rice dispensing hole 1111a. At this time, the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 coincides with the first rice dispensing hole 1111a, and the projection of the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 toward the second rice dispensing hole 1111b fails to cover the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. At this time, the outer wall 1213 of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 blocks the second rice dispensing hole 1111b, and the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 cannot communicate with the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. This causes the rice container 1 to switch to the low-speed rice dispensing state, and the amount of rice dispensed at this time is the capacity of the rice stored in the first rice dispensing cavity 1211.

[0093] When rice bucket 1 needs to be... Figure 3 When switching to the high-speed rice dispensing mode as shown, Figure 4 When the rice is being dispensed at the high setting, the rice dispensing chamber 12 is driven to continue rotating in the same direction until the projection of the opening of the second rice dispensing chamber 1212 toward the second rice dispensing hole 1111b can cover the second rice dispensing hole 1111b, that is, the second rice dispensing hole 1111b and the opening of the second rice dispensing chamber 1212 coincide. At this time, the first rice dispensing hole 1111a still coincides with the opening of the first rice dispensing chamber 1211, so that the rice container 1 switches to the high setting rice dispensing state. At this time, the amount of rice dispensed is the capacity of the rice stored in the first rice dispensing chamber 1211 and the capacity of the rice stored in the second rice dispensing chamber 1212.

[0094] Therefore, when the rice container 1 is in the low-speed rice dispensing state, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first rice dispensing hole 1111a is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. That is, the second rice dispensing hole 1111b is smaller than the first rice dispensing hole 1111a. This prevents the risk that the projection of the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 towards the second rice dispensing hole 1111b will cover the first rice dispensing hole 1111a when the projection of the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 towards the second rice dispensing hole 1111b covers the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. In other words, it prevents the risk that the second rice dispensing hole 1111b and the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 will be connected, thus improving the feasibility and reliability of the rice container 1 having a low-speed rice dispensing state.

[0095] Meanwhile, along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing chamber 12, the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 should be larger than the size of the first rice dispensing hole 1111a. During the process of switching the rice bucket 1 from the low-speed dispensing state to the high-speed dispensing state, the projection of the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 should always coincide with the first rice dispensing hole 1111a. That is, during rotation, the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 should always be connected to the first rice dispensing hole 1111a, so that the rice in the first dispensing cavity can flow out smoothly in different dispensing states, improving the stability of the rice bucket 1 when switching from the low-speed dispensing state to the high-speed dispensing state.

[0096] Along the rotation direction of the rice dispensing chamber 12, the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 should be larger than the size of the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. When the rice container 1 is in the low-dispensing state, because the second rice dispensing hole 1111b is smaller, it cannot communicate with the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212. If the opening sizes of the second rice dispensing hole 1111b and the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 are the same, since the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 and the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 are set along the first direction X, there is a risk that the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 will communicate with the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. Therefore, the opening of the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 should be larger than the size of the second rice dispensing hole 1111b to ensure that when the rice container 1 is in the low-dispensing state, only the rice in the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 can flow out, which helps to improve the accuracy of rice dispensing.

[0097] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rice container 1 also includes an inner cover 13, which is detachably connected to the rice dispensing seat 11, and the rice dispensing compartment 12 is located between the inner cover 13 and the rice dispensing seat 11. The inner cover 13 includes a rice inlet hole 1311.

[0098] The rice container 1 has a rice dispensing state and a rice feeding state. In the rice feeding state, the rice feeding hole 1311 can communicate with the opening of the rice dispensing cavity 121, and the outer wall 1213 of the rice dispensing cavity 121 can block the rice dispensing hole 1111. In the rice dispensing state, the outer wall 1213 of the rice dispensing cavity 121 can block the rice feeding hole 1311.

[0099] Specifically, the rice dispensing states include the aforementioned low-speed and high-speed dispensing states. Before dispensing, the rice container 1 should be switched to the rice feeding state so that rice flows through the rice feeding hole 1311 into the rice dispensing chamber 121, filling each of the dispensing chambers 121. Only then can the rice container 1 dispense rice through the dispensing chambers 121. Simultaneously, in the rice feeding state, the outer wall 1213 of the dispensing chamber 121 blocks each of the dispensing holes 1111, meaning that the rice container 1 can only receive rice but not dispense it, ensuring the accuracy of the rice feeding amount. In the rice dispensing state, the outer wall 1213 of the dispensing chamber 121 can block the rice feeding hole 1311, ensuring that the rice container 1 can only dispense rice but not receive it, thus ensuring the accuracy of the rice dispensing amount.

[0100] The inner cover 13 is snapped into the rice dispensing seat 11, for example, by a snap-fit. This application does not limit the structure of the snap-fit ​​between the inner cover 13 and the rice dispensing seat 11, as long as the inner cover 13 and the rice dispensing seat 11 can be detachably connected.

[0101] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer wall of the rice dispensing chamber 121 includes an integrally formed first outer wall 1213a and a second outer wall 1213b. The first outer wall 1213a has a straight structure, and the second outer wall 1213b has a rounded structure. The inner cover 13 includes a first mounting groove 131, and a rice inlet hole 1311 is disposed on the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 131. The rice dispensing seat 11 includes a second mounting groove 111, and at least two rice dispensing holes 1111 are disposed on the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 111. The bottom walls of the first mounting groove 131 and the second mounting groove 111 are both rounded. The first mounting groove 131 and the second mounting groove 111 form a receiving cavity for accommodating the rice dispensing bin 12.

[0102] In this embodiment, since the rice dispensing compartment 12 can rotate relative to the rice dispensing seat 11 and the inner cover 13, the second outer wall 1213b has an arc structure, and the bottom walls of the first mounting groove 131 and the second mounting groove 111 are arc-shaped, which helps to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the rice dispensing compartment 12, facilitates user operation, and further improves the user experience. Meanwhile, the first outer wall 1213a has a flat structure, so that the shape of the first outer wall 1213a is different from that of the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 131 and the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 111. This makes the gap between the first outer wall 1213a and the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 131 and the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 111 larger than the gap between the second outer wall 1213b and the bottom wall of the first mounting groove 131 and the bottom wall of the second mounting groove 111. This reduces the risk of rice jamming between the outer wall 1213a of the rice dispensing bin 12 and the first mounting groove 131 and the second mounting groove 111 during the rotation of the rice dispensing bin 12. This allows the rice to flow smoothly from the rice dispensing hole 1111, reducing the risk of the rice dispensing bin 12 failing to rotate due to rice jamming. This, in turn, helps to improve the reliability of the rice bucket 1 in smoothly switching to different states.

[0103] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rice container 1 also includes a rice storage section 14 and an outer cover 15. One end of the rice storage section 14 is detachably connected to the rice dispensing seat 11, and the other end is detachably connected to the outer cover 15. The outer cover 15 is provided with a rice inlet 151, and the rice storage section 14 is connected to the rice inlet 151 and the rice inlet hole 1311.

[0104] In this embodiment, the rice storage section 14 is used for storing rice. The user transfers the rice from the bagged rice purchased to the rice storage section 14 through the rice inlet 151. Storing the rice in the rice storage section 14 can reduce the risk of the rice becoming damp and easily spoiling. At the same time, the rice storage section 14 has a large capacity and can store a large amount of rice, so that the rice container 1 can dispense rice multiple times, which is convenient for the user to take rice multiple times.

[0105] Specifically, the rice storage section 14 is provided with a connecting port 143. The rice storage section 14 is located above the rice dispensing seat 11, and the connecting port 143 is connected to the rice inlet hole 1311 and the rice inlet 151. When the user switches the rice bucket 1 to the rice feeding state, the rice can flow from the rice storage section 14 through the connecting port 143 and then through the rice inlet 151 to the rice storage bin for the next dispensing.

[0106] In addition, such as Figure 1As shown, the outer cover 15 includes a detachably connected first outer cover 152 and a second outer cover 153. The second outer cover 153 is snapped into the rice storage section 14. The second outer cover 153 is provided with a rice inlet 151. The first outer cover 152 is used to close the second outer cover 153. The user can open the first outer cover 152 and add rice into the rice storage section 14. The outer contour of the connecting port 143 is generally conical so that the rice in the rice storage section 14 can flow smoothly through the connecting port 143 to the rice inlet 1311.

[0107] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rice storage section 14 includes a first receiving groove 142, and the rice dispensing seat 11 includes a movable buckle 113, with the first receiving groove 142 engaging with the movable buckle 113.

[0108] In this embodiment, along the first direction X of the rice container 1, the rice storage section 14 further includes a first locking part 141, and the rice dispensing seat 11 further includes a second locking part 112. The first locking part 141 can be used to lock onto the inner wall of the rice dispensing seat 11, and the second locking part 112 can be used to lock onto the inner wall of the rice storage section 14. In another possible implementation, the first locking part 141 can lock onto the second locking part 112, so that the rice storage section 14 and the rice dispensing seat 11 are locked together. When the user pries open the movable buckle 113, the movable buckle 113 is released from the first slot, thereby causing the rice storage section 14 and the rice dispensing seat 11 to tilt relative to each other, thus releasing all the locking structures between them. Therefore, by providing a first latching groove 142 and a first latching part 141 in the rice storage section 14, and a second latching part 112 and a movable buckle 113 in the rice dispensing seat 11, the rice storage section 14 and the rice dispensing seat 11 are detachably connected, so that the user can clean the rice storage section 14 and the rice dispensing seat 11, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0109] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rice container 1 also includes a knob 16 located outside the rice dispensing seat 11. The rice dispensing compartment 12 is fixedly connected to a drive unit 122. The knob 16 is fixedly connected to the drive unit 122 and is used to drive the rice dispensing compartment 12 to rotate.

[0110] In this embodiment, the user can rotate the knob 16 to drive the rice container 12 to rotate, thereby changing the rice bucket 1 to different states. Therefore, the user only needs to drive one knob 16 to rotate to different angles to switch the rice bucket 1 to different states. Thus, the user can switch the state of the rice bucket 1 by rotating the knob 16 with one hand, which is convenient to operate and greatly improves the user experience.

[0111] Specifically, when the rice container 1 is in the rice feeding state, the knob 16 can be in a position parallel to the height of the rice container 1, i.e., the initial position. Subsequently, when the rice container 1 needs to be in the low-dispensing state, the knob 16 is driven to rotate a first angle, so that the knob 16 moves from the initial position... Figure 5 The initial position shown is switched to as follows Figure 3 The first position is shown, where the first angle can be 90 degrees. When the rice container 1 needs to be in the high-discharge position, the drive knob 16 continues to rotate in the same direction at a second angle, so that the knob 16 moves from the position shown in the image. Figure 3 The first position shown is switched to as follows Figure 4 The second position shown, or, alternatively, the user can drive knob 16 from such position. Figure 1 The initial position shown is rotated by a third angle in the same direction until... Figure 4 The second position shown can have a second angle of 45 degrees, meaning the third angle can be 135 degrees. Therefore, users can directly switch from the rice feeding state to the high-speed rice dispensing state, or they can first feed rice, switch to the low-speed rice dispensing state, and then switch back to the high-speed rice dispensing state.

[0112] This application does not limit the values ​​of the first angle and the second angle, as long as the rice bucket 1 has two different rice dispensing states.

[0113] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, along the first direction X, a limiting part 123 is provided between the driving part 122 and the rice dispensing cavity 121. The limiting part 123 abuts against the rice dispensing seat 11 to restrict the movement of the rice dispensing compartment 12 along the first direction X of the rice bucket 1, reduce the risk of misalignment of the rice dispensing compartment 12 caused by rotating the knob 16, and improve the stability of the rice bucket 1 structure.

[0114] Furthermore, in one possible implementation, such as Figure 7 As shown, the rice dispensing compartment 12 also includes an abutment portion 124, which is used to abut against the knob 16 to support the knob 16 and reduce the risk of misalignment of the knob 16 when it is rotated.

[0115] In one possible implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rice container 1 also includes a rice dispensing box 17, which is connected to the rice dispensing hole 1111. The rice dispensing seat 11 also includes a receiving groove 114, in which the rice dispensing box 17 is located and can slide relative to the receiving groove 114.

[0116] When the rice container 1 is in the rice dispensing state, the rice in the rice dispensing compartment 12 flows through the rice dispensing hole 1111 into the rice dispensing box 17. After the rice dispensing is complete, the user can pull the rice dispensing box 17 out of the receiving groove 114 to retrieve the rice. Therefore, the rice dispensing box 17 can slide relative to the receiving groove 114 so that the user can pull it out to retrieve the rice.

[0117] In summary, the specific working process of Rice Bucket 1 is as follows:

[0118] First, the knob 16 needs to be in the initial position so that the opening of each rice outlet cavity 121 coincides with the rice inlet hole 1311, so that the rice can fill each rice outlet cavity 121.

[0119] When a user needs to take rice, they can rotate knob 16 to either the first or second position according to the actual amount of rice required. If the user needs a small amount of rice, the knob 16 is rotated from the initial position to the first position, so that the opening of the first rice dispensing chamber 1211 coincides with the first rice dispensing hole 1111a, and the opening of the second rice dispensing hole 1111b cannot communicate with it. This allows the rice in the first rice dispensing chamber 1211 to flow through the first rice dispensing hole 1111a into the rice dispensing box 17, which the user can then pull out to take the rice. If the user needs a larger ... to the second position. Button 16 is rotated from the initial position to the second position so that the opening of the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 coincides with the first rice dispensing hole 1111a, and the opening of the second rice dispensing hole 1111b coincides with the second rice dispensing hole 1111b. As a result, the rice in the first rice dispensing cavity 1211 can flow through the first rice dispensing hole 1111a into the rice dispensing box 17, and the rice in the second rice dispensing cavity 1212 can flow through the second rice dispensing hole 1111b into the rice dispensing box 17. The user can then pull out the rice dispensing box 17 to take out the rice.

[0120] After the rice is taken out, slide the rice dispensing box 17 back into the receiving slot 114 and turn the knob 16 to return it to the initial position so that the rice dispensing chambers 121 are filled with rice again for the next rice dispensing.
