Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food distribution technology, and more specifically, to a circulating automatic food distribution device. Background Technology

[0002] In some restaurants, different dishes are placed in different dish baskets. Customers choose the dishes they want themselves using a spoon or tongs, or the staff selects the dishes for the customers and places them onto the customers' plates in order, thus distributing the dishes.

[0003] However, during the process of taking out the desired dishes with a spoon or tongs and placing them on the plate, some dishes and their juices will inevitably spill into other dish baskets. Different dishes usually have unique seasonings and flavors. If the juices from other dishes seep into other dishes, it will change the taste of the dishes and affect the customer's dining experience. This is especially true when some dishes contain raw ingredients or are allergens for some customers, as such mixing may pose health risks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a circulating automatic food distribution device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a circulating automatic food dispensing device, comprising a support assembly, a circulating moving assembly installed on the inner side of the support assembly, an installation assembly installed on the top of the circulating moving assembly, a food assembly installed on the top of the installation assembly, a food receiving assembly installed on the front of the support assembly, and a control panel installed on the top of the support assembly. The circulating moving assembly includes a support plate, a fixed plate fixedly connected to the top of the support plate, a circulating motor fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the fixed plate, a rotating rod movably sleeved on the right side of the top of the fixed plate, a drive sprocket fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the circulating motor, a driven sprocket fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating rod, the driven sprocket and the drive sprocket being connected by a transmission chain. An annular guide rail is fixedly connected around the top of the fixed plate. The installation assembly includes a positioning frame slidably sleeved on the outer side of the annular guide rail, an installation plate fixedly connected to the top of the positioning frame, and a connecting block fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning frame near the transmission chain. The connecting block is fixedly connected to a link of the transmission chain.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the support component includes a fixed frame, a bottom frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, and a vegetable receiving groove is provided in the middle of the front side of the fixed frame.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the top of the annular guide rail is provided with a ball groove, and the top of the inner wall of the positioning frame is provided with a stainless steel ball, which is compatible with the ball groove.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the food component includes a fixed frame fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, a food tube fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed frame, and a food control valve installed at the bottom of the food tube.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the food container, a soup container is installed on the inner side of the fixing ring, and a soup control valve is installed at the bottom of the soup container.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the vegetable receiving assembly includes a support plate fixedly connected to the inner side of the vegetable receiving slot, a stepper motor fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, and a rotating frame fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the control panel is electrically connected to the food control valve and the soup control valve via wires, and the bottom frame is a conical structure that is high on all sides and low in the middle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model includes a circulating moving component, an installation component, and a food component. A circulating motor drives a drive sprocket to rotate, which in turn drives a transmission chain. When the transmission chain rotates, it moves the installation component along the outer side of the annular guide rail, causing the food component containing the desired food to rotate above the plate. Then, by controlling the food control valve and the soup control valve, the corresponding food and soup fall into the inside of the plate. After one food is loaded, a stepper motor is started to drive the rotating frame to rotate a certain angle. The above operation is repeated to add other food to the plate, completing the automatic distribution of food. During the food distribution process, food and soup will not mix with other food.

[0014] 2. This utility model has a bottom frame, and the support plate is fixedly connected to the side of the inner wall of the fixed frame. After the food control valve and soup control valve add food and soup to the plate, there will inevitably be residue at the bottom of the food control valve and soup control valve. The conical structure of the bottom frame can prevent the residue from falling directly to the ground and facilitate collection and cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this utility model provides a circulating automatic food dispensing device, including a support assembly 1, a circulating moving assembly 2 installed on the inner side of the support assembly 1, an installation assembly 3 installed on the top of the circulating moving assembly 2, a food assembly 4 installed on the top of the installation assembly 3, a food receiving assembly 5 installed on the front of the support assembly 1, and a control panel 6 installed on the top of the support assembly 1. The circulating moving assembly 2 includes a support plate 201, a fixing plate 202 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 201, a circulating motor 203 fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the fixing plate 202, and a rotating rod 204 movably sleeved on the right side of the top of the fixing plate 202. The output shaft of the circulating motor 203 is fixedly sleeved with a drive sprocket 206, and the outer side of the rotating rod 204 is fixedly sleeved with a driven sprocket 205. The driven sprocket 205 and the drive sprocket 206 are connected by a transmission chain 207. The top of the fixed plate 202 is fixedly connected with an annular guide rail 208. The mounting assembly 3 includes a positioning frame 301 that is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the annular guide rail 208. The top of the positioning frame 301 is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 302. A connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to the surface of the positioning frame 301 near the transmission chain 207. The connecting block 303 is fixedly connected to the link of the transmission chain 207.

[0025] In this embodiment, each food container 402 contains different dishes, and the soup container 405 contains the soup for the corresponding dish. The desired dish can be selected via the control panel 6. After selection, the circulating motor 203 drives the drive sprocket 206 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission chain 207 to rotate. When the transmission chain 207 rotates, it can drive the mounting component 3 to move along the outer side of the annular guide rail 208, so that the food component 4 containing the desired dish rotates to the top of the plate. Then, by controlling the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406, the corresponding dish and soup fall into the inside of the plate. After a dish is loaded, the stepper motor 502 is started to drive the rotating frame 503 to rotate a certain angle. The above operation is repeated to add other dishes to the plate, completing the automatic distribution of dishes. During the distribution process, the dishes and soup will not mix with other dishes.

[0026] The support component 1 includes a fixed frame 101, a bottom frame 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 101, a vegetable receiving slot 103 is opened in the middle of the front of the fixed frame 101, and the bottom frame 102 is a conical structure with high sides and low center.

[0027] The support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the inner wall of the fixed frame 101. After the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406 add the food and soup to the plate, there will inevitably be residue at the bottom of the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406. The conical structure of the bottom frame 102 can prevent the residue from falling directly to the ground and facilitate collection and cleaning.

[0028] The annular guide rail 208 has a ball groove 209 on its top, and the inner wall of the positioning frame 301 has a stainless steel ball 304 on its top. The stainless steel ball 304 and the ball groove 209 are compatible with each other.

[0029] When the transmission chain 207 moves, the positioning frame 301 slides along the outer side of the annular guide rail 208 through the connecting block 303, and the stainless steel ball 304 rolls and rubs inside the ball groove 209, which can reduce the friction when the mounting component 3 moves.

[0030] The food component 4 includes a fixed bracket 401 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 302. A food container 402 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed bracket 401. A food control valve 403 is installed at the bottom of the food container 402. A fixed ring 404 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the food container 402. A soup container 405 is installed inside the fixed ring 404. A soup control valve 406 is installed at the bottom of the soup container 405. The control panel 6 is electrically connected to the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406 via wires.

[0031] The control of the food and soup by the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406 is a common existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The soup can keep the food moist, increase the visual effect of the food, and improve the taste of the food.

[0032] The receiving component 5 includes a support plate 501 fixedly connected to the inside of the receiving slot 103. A stepper motor 502 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 501, and a rotating frame 503 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the stepper motor 502.

[0033] The plate is placed on top of the rotating frame 503. When a dish is added to the plate, the stepper motor 502 drives the rotating frame 503 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby causing the plate to rotate at a certain angle, preventing the next dish from piling up in the same place as the previous dish on the plate.

[0034] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0035] Each food container 402 contains different dishes, and the soup container 405 contains the corresponding soup. The desired dish can be selected via the control panel 6. After selection, the circulation motor 203 drives the drive sprocket 206 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain 207. The rotation of the transmission chain 207 moves the mounting assembly 3 along the outer side of the annular guide rail 208, causing the food assembly 4 containing the desired dish to rotate above the plate. Then, by controlling the food control valve 403 and the soup control valve 406, the corresponding dish and soup fall into the plate. After one dish is loaded, the stepper motor 502 is activated to rotate the rotating frame 503 by a certain angle. This process is repeated to add other dishes to the plate, completing the automatic food distribution. During the food distribution process, the dishes and soup will not mix with other dishes.
