Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of popcorn machine technology, and more specifically, to a heat preservation chamber mechanism for a popcorn machine. Background Technology

[0002] Popcorn is a crispy, delicious, nutritious, and easily digestible puffed snack that is very popular. Because popcorn is susceptible to moisture, losing its crisp and delicious texture when damp, it needs to be kept warm to maintain its flavor. This is especially true for popcorn sold in movie theaters, which require prolonged temperature control.

[0003] Among them, the patent with announcement number CN206580069U discloses an automatic popcorn dispensing and warming box, including a box body and a base. The box body is set on the top of the base and is equipped with an energy-saving constant temperature system for keeping the popcorn warm. The base is equipped with an automatic dispensing mechanism and a storage bin for storing popcorn. The automatic dispensing mechanism includes a drive device and a dispensing device. The drive device is connected to the dispensing device. The dispensing device is located in the storage bin and is spiral-shaped. A dispensing port is provided on one side of the storage bin corresponding to the position of the dispensing device. A loading device is provided below the dispensing port.

[0004] In use, the circulating fan transfers the gas from the chamber to the heating element for heating. The hot air then flows back into the chamber through the through-hole, creating an internal air circulation to keep the popcorn warm. The drive unit drives the spiral-shaped discharging device, which pushes the popcorn to the discharging port and into the filling cup, achieving automatic discharging. However, in use, the popcorn piles up together, making it difficult to separate and store different flavors such as chocolate and strawberry popcorn, resulting in low adaptability of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a heat preservation bin mechanism for popcorn machines, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a heat preservation chamber mechanism for a popcorn machine, including a cabinet, on which a diversion and conveying component is provided;

[0007] The diversion and conveying assembly includes a storage box located at the top of the cabinet, an insulated compartment at the bottom of the storage box, and a channel for storing popcorn cups on the insulated compartment.

[0008] The bottom of the channel is provided with a conveying nozzle, and a cabinet door is movably connected to one side of the cabinet body via a hinge. A material picking frame is snapped onto the cabinet door. Several outer channels are distributed on the outside of the conveying nozzle, and one end of each outer channel is rotatably connected to a baffle via a pivot pin.

[0009] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, the baffle can conveniently separate the popcorn conveyed in the external channel, while the vent and the inclined plate can conveniently gather the popcorn placed in the storage cavity into the external channel, and keep it warm in the heat preservation chamber to reduce the rate of temperature loss.

[0010] Optionally, in one possible implementation, a storage cavity is provided at the top of each of the multiple outer channels, the storage cavity is located on the top of the cabinet, two inclined plates are provided in each of the multiple storage cavities, and each inclined plate is located on the top two sides of the corresponding outer channel. A receiving frame is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the channel, the receiving frame is located at the top of the conveying nozzle, and a partition for blocking is provided on one side of the conveying nozzle, the partition being engaged with the cabinet.

[0011] As can be seen, in the above technical solution, different flavors of popcorn can be classified and stored through each storage chamber. By turning the cabinet door, the cabinet door rotates along the axis point where the cabinet door connects to the cabinet body, which in turn causes the cabinet door to move the material picking frame. The displacement of the material picking frame will pass through the partition and extend to the bottom of the conveying nozzle, making it easier for the popcorn to be conveyed through the outer channel and then gathered and discharged through the conveying nozzle.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] By setting up a diversion and conveying component, the overall design is simple and the structure is reasonable compared with the existing technology. Through the corresponding cooperation of each structure, different flavors of popcorn can be classified and stored through each storage chamber, and the popcorn can be kept warm through the heat preservation chamber to reduce the rate of temperature loss. At the same time, the popcorn storage cups can be placed in the channel for easy access by staff to collect the popcorn.

[0014] The material picking frame is displaced by the cabinet door. The displaced material picking frame will pass through the partition and extend to the bottom of the conveyor nozzle, making it easy for popcorn to be collected and discharged through the conveyor nozzle after being conveyed through the outer channel, and making it easy to pick up the material.

[0022] As attached Figure 1-4 The popcorn machine heat preservation chamber mechanism shown herein uses a diversion and conveying component on the cabinet 1 to classify and store popcorn of different flavors through various storage chambers 14. The heat preservation chamber 3 keeps the popcorn warm, reducing the rate of temperature loss. The displacement of the feeding frame 12 passes through the partition 13 and extends to the bottom of the conveying nozzle 6, making it easy for the popcorn to be conveyed through the outer channel 7 and then gathered and discharged through the conveying nozzle 6. The baffle 8 helps to separate the popcorn conveyed in the outer channel 7. The vent 10 and the inclined plate 9 facilitate the gathering of the popcorn placed in the storage chamber 14 into the outer channel 7. The specific structural settings of the components are as follows.

[0023] The diversion and conveying assembly includes a storage box 2 set at the top of the cabinet 1, an insulated compartment 3 at the bottom of the storage box 2, and a channel 4 for storing popcorn cups on the insulated compartment 3.

[0024] The bottom of the channel 4 is provided with a conveying nozzle 6. One side of the cabinet 1 is connected to a cabinet door 11 by a hinge. A material picking frame 12 is snapped onto the cabinet door 11.
