Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of catering technology, specifically to an automatic food dispensing device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional catering services, food distribution is usually done manually, which is not only inefficient but also poses food hygiene risks. With the development of technology, automated catering equipment is gradually becoming a trend. While existing automated food dispensing equipment has improved the efficiency of food dispensing to some extent, it still has some shortcomings, such as poor adaptability to different dishes and difficulties in cleaning and maintenance.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN211769054U discloses an automatic food dispensing device. It includes a frame, a food storage bin, and a food delivery mechanism. The food storage bin is mounted on the frame and has a vertically penetrating storage cavity. The food delivery mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to receive and transfer the food from the storage cavity. This automatic food dispensing machine stores food in the food storage bin and automatically distributes the food through the food delivery mechanism, thus achieving automated food dispensing. This effectively achieves automatic and rapid food dispensing, ensures consistent and standardized food quantities, guarantees food hygiene, and saves labor costs, fully meeting the needs of businesses. This application also provides an automatic food dispensing and conveying line including the automatic food dispensing machine described above.

[0004] Although the equipment described in the aforementioned literature is easy to move, its structure is relatively simple, making it inconvenient for portioning and transporting food. Furthermore, the fixed output port prevents the equipment from distributing food evenly, reducing its practicality. In addition, the containers cannot be fixed when plating, making it easy to spill food, resulting in cost waste and increased cleaning burden. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic food portioning device that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This utility model provides an automatic food dispensing device. The device is equipped with a clamping mechanism that secures the dispensing tray during feeding, preventing movement due to equipment vibration or operational errors. This improves the overall stability and reliability of the device, avoids waste caused by material slippage or spillage, reduces material loss, and increases resource utilization. It also ensures the tray does not become a source of contamination during food processing, thus guaranteeing food hygiene and safety. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism has an adjustable function to accommodate dispensing trays of different sizes and shapes, enhancing the device's versatility and flexibility to meet diverse production needs. The extension and retraction of a first electric telescopic rod moves the clamping plate. As the dispensing tray passes, a scanner detects and transmits information, causing the first electric telescopic rod to automatically extend and clamp the tray. The clamping distance can be adjusted according to different tray sizes, effectively expanding the device's applicability. Sliding rods and springs are installed on both sides of the clamping plate. When the clamping plate extends and retracts, the sliding rods slide along grooves opened in the first fixed plate, making the device operate more smoothly. The springs also buffer the impact forces generated during operation, further improving the stability of the device structure.

[0019] This invention provides an automatic food serving device. The device is equipped with a serving dispensing mechanism that automatically and accurately dispenses food, significantly reducing serving time. The left-right movement of the dispensing port helps to distribute food more evenly, preventing some portions from being too much or too little. Precise control of the portion size helps reduce food waste. The automated device reduces reliance on manual labor, lowering labor costs. Its simple structure and practical effectiveness allow even untrained operators to easily operate it. The device is designed for easy cleaning, and food-contact parts are typically made of food-grade materials. The even and rapid food serving provides a superior experience. To enhance the customer's dining experience, the equipment features a storage tank for food, a second motor that drives a stirring fan to keep the food flowing within the tank, preventing blockages at the dispensing port and improving dispensing efficiency. A valve controls the dispensing hopper for precise dispensing, significantly improving the equipment's usability. Furthermore, a first motor drives a threaded rod to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, allowing the slide to move the lower components left and right along the thread for easy adjustment of the dispensing position. The second electric telescopic rod automatically raises and lowers the output port, preventing splashing, waste, and cleaning burdens. The flexible, extendable feeding hose avoids damage from pulling and has a suitable diameter to prevent food blockages. Attached Figure Description
