[0043] In this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used only for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or an indicated number, order of sequence. Thus, features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically limited.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1-10 , the application provides a rice box 1000, comprising a box body 100, the inside of the box body 100 is provided with an upper and lower arranged rice storage chamber 101 and rice taking chamber 102, and a conveying channel 300 is arranged between the rice storage chamber 101 and the rice taking chamber 102, which communicates the two. The rice storage chamber 101 and the rice taking chamber 102 are not limited to be in the same vertical position, allowing misalignment in the horizontal direction. The top of the rice storage chamber 101 is open, and accordingly, the rice box 1000 comprises a cover body 400 matched with the box body 100, the cover body 400 has a closed state of closing the top of the rice storage chamber 101, and an open state of opening the rice storage chamber 101, and the cover body 400 can be operated in the open state. A rice receiving box 103 is arranged in the rice taking chamber 102 for receiving rice grains sent out from the rice storage chamber 101.

[0045] The conveying channel 300 has opposite first wall 110 and second wall 120, and a rice measuring cylinder 200 is arranged between the first wall 110 and the second wall 120 and can rotate around a horizontal axis. As shown, the outer peripheral surface of the rice measuring cylinder 200 rotates to form a circular area 500 (dashed line in the figure).

[0046] Figure 8 The inside of the rice measuring cylinder 200 is a transfer cavity 230 for temporarily storing rice grains, and the rice measuring cylinder 200 further comprises a closed part 210 and an open part 220 arranged along the circumference, the open part 220 is in communication with the transfer cavity 230, and the rice grains enter and exit the transfer cavity 230 through the open part 220. Among them, the rice measuring cylinder 200 has a rice taking state (as Figure 10 shown) that the open part 220 faces up and abuts against the rice storage chamber 101, and a rice pouring state (as shown) that the open part 220 faces down and abuts against the rice taking chamber 102.As shown, in the rice-taking state, the closing part 210 separates the rice-taking chamber 102 and the transit cavity 230, and in the rice-discharging state, the closing part 210 separates the rice-storing chamber 101 and the transit cavity 230, so as to realize the function of quantitative discharging of rice. For the convenience of description, the definition of the first direction is that the rice-measuring cylinder 200 is switched from the rice-taking state to the rice-discharging state, and the second direction is the opposite direction.

[0047] Correspondingly, the closing part 210 has opposite first side edge 211 and second side edge 212 as shown, wherein the first wall 110 has a first position corresponding to the first side edge 211 in the rice-taking state, i.e. the first position is the starting movement position of the first side edge 211 in the rice-discharging state.

[0048] The first wall 110 has the following two schemes relative to the first position:

[0049] a. As shown in Figure 6 , the first wall 110 ends at the first position, and the matching relationship between the first wall 110 and the first side edge 211 can be a radial gap fit, or can be in the same radial direction or the first wall 110 is in a circular area, i.e. the first wall 110 abuts against the first side edge 211 so that the first side edge 211.

[0050] b. As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the first position has a tangent plane 510 (tangent to the circular area 500), and the first wall 110 has an extension part 112 arranged starting from the first position and extending towards the outside of the tangent plane 510. That is, the extension direction of the extension part 112 is away from the circular area 500.

[0051] In actual use, referring to Figures 8-10 , the rice-measuring cylinder 200 is driven to rotate in the first direction until the rice-discharging state, and the rice grains in the rice-measuring cylinder 200 are discharged into the rice-taking chamber 102. During the process of the rice-measuring cylinder 200 rotating in the second direction to reset to the rice-taking state, the first side edge 211 will not interfere with the extension part 112 before reaching the first position, thereby eliminating the problem of early rice blockage, making the operation more smooth, and at the same time ensuring the accuracy of quantitative discharging of rice.

[0052] In an embodiment, the rice box 1000 includes an elastic reset member 150 acting on the rice-measuring cylinder 200, for example, a torsion spring, which is used to drive the rice-measuring cylinder 200 to rotate in the first direction to reset. The rice box 1000 further includes a handle 160 connected with the rice-measuring cylinder 200, which is convenient for human to hold to drive the rice-measuring cylinder 200 to rotate in the second direction. For other descriptions of the torsion spring and the handle 160, see the following embodiments.

[0053] Continuing to refer to Figure 8The axis of the metering cylinder 200 is taken as the center, and the metering cylinder 200 is divided into four areas A, B, C and D by a horizontal diameter and a vertical diameter. The first position is on the horizontal diameter, i.e., the first position is at the same height as the horizontal axis. That is, at the moment of rotation in the first direction, the rice grains can be immediately poured out due to gravity, thereby improving the rice pouring efficiency. Of course, the first position can also be in the A area and the B area.

[0054] Continuing to refer to Figures 8-10 , the first wall 110 has a rotation-stopping part 111 at the first position, which cooperates with the first side edge 211 to limit the rotation of the metering cylinder 200 in the first direction. The second side edge 212 cooperates with the rotation-stopping part 111 to limit the rotation of the metering cylinder 200 in the second direction. The "cooperating form" includes but is not limited to the rotation-stopping part 111 abutting against the first side edge 211. The first side edge 211 and the second side edge 212 both extend along the axis of the metering cylinder 200. The cross section in the drawing is a relative radial cross section. The first wall 110 includes an arc-shaped section 1113 which cooperates with the gap of the outer periphery of the metering cylinder 200, a vertical section 1111 which extends into the circular area 500, and a horizontal section 1112 which extends away from the circular area 500. The first side edge 211 abuts against the horizontal section 1112 to limit the rotation of the metering cylinder 200 in the first direction. The second side edge 212 abuts against the vertical section 1111 to limit the rotation of the metering cylinder 200 in the second direction. The extension 121 is formed by further extending the horizontal section 1112 outward.

[0055] In an embodiment, the first wall 110 has an extension 112, and the conveying channel 300 has a blocking part 141 which cooperates with the extension 112. When pouring rice, the rice grains hit the blocking part 141 and fall along the path defined by the blocking part 141, thereby preventing the rice grains from splashing into the unintended space in the box. The blocking part 141 is arranged in a spaced-apart manner with the arc surface formed by the rotation of the first side edge 211, thereby forming a gap through which the rice grains pass, and avoiding early rice grains blocking. In a radial cross section, the blocking part 141 is, for example, arc-shaped, or straight in the vertical direction as shown in the drawing.

[0056] In combination Figures 11-13 In an embodiment, the box 100 includes a partition member 131 which partitions the rice storage room 101 and the rice taking room 102. The partition member 131 is provided with a funnel 133. The bottom of the funnel 133 is provided with an output pipe 132 which extends downward. The output pipe 132 is provided with the first wall 110 and the second wall 120, and two connecting walls 113 which are connected between the first wall 110 and the second wall 120. The second wall 120 has an arc-shaped structure which cooperates with the gap of the metering cylinder 200.

[0057] The box 100 further comprises a base 140 connected with the output pipe 132, the base 140 has an extension pipe 142 with a blocking part 141, a guiding part 143 opposite to the blocking part 141, and a connecting part 144 connected between the blocking part 141 and the guiding part 143, the guiding part 143 has an arc structure matched with the metering cylinder 200 and corresponds to the second wall 120. The extension pipe 142 and the output pipe 132 are connected and form a conveying channel 300.

[0058] In the illustration, the extension pipe 142 is provided with two clamping parts 145 respectively clamped and connected with the extension part 112 and the second wall 120. In actual installation, the metering cylinder 200 is placed in the base 140, and the base 140 is buckled on the output pipe 132. The metering cylinder 200 comprises a first cylinder structure 240 and a second cylinder structure 250, the first cylinder structure 240 has a closed part 210 and an open part 220. The torsion spring is mounted on the second cylinder structure 250, and one end acts on the base 140 and the other end acts on the second cylinder structure 250.

[0059] The first cylinder structure 240 and the second cylinder structure 250 are coaxially arranged, and the second cylinder structure 250 is connected with the handle 160.

[0060] The rice box 1000 of the application is sequentially buckled and connected from top to bottom by an upper seat 610, an intermediate seat 620, a base 140 and a bottom seat 630, the intermediate seat 620 has a partition 131, the intermediate seat 620 and the upper seat 610 are buckled and connected to form a rice storage chamber 101. The base 140 is buckled and connected with the intermediate seat 620, the bottom seat 630 is buckled and connected at the bottom of the intermediate seat 620 to hide the base 140, and the bottom seat 630 has a rice taking chamber 102.

[0061] The rice box of the application does not block the rice in advance during the rotation and reset rice taking process, the operation is more smooth, the repeated rotation operation caused by blocking the rice is avoided, the rice is more accurately quantified, and the use experience is improved.
