Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of central kitchen technology, specifically to a central kitchen food ingredient dispensing device. Background Technology
[0002] A central kitchen is an entity established by a food business, possessing independent premises and facilities, that centrally processes and prepares finished or semi-finished food products and distributes them to its chain stores for further processing before providing them to consumers. Central kitchens ensure food quality and safety while reducing operating costs through centralized procurement, standardized processing, scientific packaging, and dedicated delivery.
[0003] A food ingredient dispensing device is a piece of equipment used in the food processing process. Its main function is to accurately dispense various ingredients into the production line according to preset proportions and quantities to ensure the quality and consistency of the food.
[0004] Conventional food ingredient dispensing devices are limited by their relatively fixed structure, making it difficult to combine and expand their structure. As a result, their flexibility of use is relatively limited. At the same time, they generally use a relatively sealed and integrated structure to store ingredients, making it difficult to directly observe the specific condition of the internal materials, which makes operation relatively inconvenient.
[0005] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a central kitchen food ingredient dispensing device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a central kitchen food ingredient dispensing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a central kitchen food ingredient dispensing device, comprising a dispensing component and an upper assembly frame. The upper assembly frame is installed on the top of the dispensing component, and limiting angle plates are symmetrically arranged between the upper assembly frame and the dispensing component. Support columns are symmetrically and vertically installed at both ends of the upper assembly frame, and a lower assembly frame is connected to the bottom of the support columns. A protective seat is fixedly installed inside the lower assembly frame. The upper assembly frame comprises an upper frame body, an upper connecting seat, an upper connecting frame, and an upper assembly groove. The upper connecting seat is symmetrically installed on one side of the upper frame body, and the upper connecting frame is symmetrically installed on the side of the upper frame body away from the upper connecting seat. The upper assembly groove is symmetrically opened on both the front and rear surfaces of the upper frame body.
[0008] Furthermore, the dispensing component includes a feeding tank, a viewing window, a scale, a dispensing valve pipe, and a metering valve. The feeding tank has viewing windows on both the front and rear sides, and the surface of the viewing windows is provided with scales. The top and bottom of the feeding tank are respectively equipped with a dispensing valve pipe and a metering valve.
[0009] Furthermore, the viewing window is made of transparent material, and the scale and the viewing window are integrated into one structure. The bottom of the feeding tank is made of bucket shape, and the inner surface structure of the protective seat matches the bottom surface structure of the feeding tank. The protective seat is also made of bucket shape, and the left and right sides of the protective seat are symmetrically provided with grooves that match the lower surface structure of the support column.
[0010] Furthermore, the support column includes a buffer column, a fixing pin, and a fastening bolt. The upper and lower ends of the buffer column are both horizontally penetrated by fixing pins, and the section of the buffer column near the limiting angle plate is horizontally penetrated by a fastening bolt.
[0011] Furthermore, the inner surface structure of the upper combined groove matches the upper surface structure of the buffer column, and the interior of the upper combined groove is provided with mounting holes that match the surface structure of the fixing pin.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower assembly frame includes a lower frame body, a lower connecting seat, a lower connecting frame, and a lower assembly groove. The lower connecting seat is symmetrically installed on one side of the lower frame body, and the lower connecting frame is symmetrically installed on the side of the lower frame body away from the lower connecting seat. Moreover, the lower assembly groove is symmetrically opened on both the front and rear surfaces of the lower frame body.
[0013] Furthermore, the inner surface structure of the lower combination groove matches the lower end surface structure of the buffer column, and the interior of the lower combination groove is provided with mounting holes that match the surface structure of the fixing pin.
[0014] Furthermore, the upper connecting seat, the upper connecting frame, the lower connecting seat, and the lower connecting frame have the same structure, and the upper connecting seat and the lower connecting frame, as well as the upper connecting frame and the lower connecting seat, are connected to each other by an insertion structure and are all provided with holes for installing bolts.
[0015] This utility model provides a food ingredient dispensing device for a central kitchen, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention features symmetrically installed upper connecting seats and upper connecting frames on the left and right sides of the upper frame, and symmetrically installed lower connecting seats and lower connecting frames on the left and right sides of the lower frame. Utilizing the insertion structure between the upper and lower connecting seats and the upper and lower connecting frames, as well as between the upper and lower connecting seats, and with the use of bolts, multiple sets of dispensing components can be horizontally assembled. Using this structure, a corresponding number of dispensing components can be arranged and combined using the upper and lower assembly frames according to the needs of food ingredient dispensing. Combined with an external piping structure, multiple ingredients can be simultaneously transported to a mixing and processing equipment for further processing.

The inner surface structure of the lower assembly groove 504 matches the lower end surface structure of the buffer column 401. The groove 504 has mounting holes that match the surface structure of the fixing pin 402. The insertion structure between the upper connecting seat 202 and the lower connecting frame 503, and between the upper connecting frame 203 and the lower connecting seat 502, combined with bolts, allows for the horizontal splicing and assembly of multiple sets of delivery components 1.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the dispensing component 1 includes a dispensing tank 101, a viewing window 102, a scale 103, a dispensing valve pipe 104, and a metering valve 105.
