[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For example... Figure 1-8 As shown, a tableware dispensing device includes several tableware boxes 2, each with a storage channel for holding several pieces of tableware, and a tray at the bottom of the storage channel. Figure 4 , 8 As shown, the bottom side of the storage channel is provided with a moving channel 33 and a dispensing notch 34. A pusher block 52 is movably installed within the moving channel 33. The height of the dispensing notch 34 is only large enough for a single piece of tableware to pass through. Tableware in contact with the tray can pass through the dispensing notch 34 and detach from the tray under the pusher block 52, thus removing it from the storage channel. The height of the dispensing notch 34, which only allows a single piece of tableware to pass through, ensures that only one piece of tableware is dispensed at a time, ensuring accurate dispensing and avoiding tableware waste.
[0032] In the above technical solution: The top of the cutlery box 2 has a first stop 3 and a second stop 4 at both ends, and the tray includes a first tray 32 and a second tray 42. A first placement groove 31 is formed on the first stop 3, and the first tray 32 is located at the bottom of the first placement groove 31. A moving channel 33 is located at the bottom of the first stop 3 and communicates with the first placement groove 31; the bottom surface of the moving channel 33 is on the same horizontal plane as the upper surface of the first tray 32. A dispensing notch 34 is located at the bottom of the groove wall of the first placement groove 31, and the moving channel 33 and the dispensing notch 34 are located on both sides of the first tray 32. A second placement groove 41 is formed on the second stop 4, and the second tray 42 is located at the bottom of the second placement groove 41. A placement channel is formed between the first placement groove 31 and the second placement groove 41, with both ends of the cutlery located in the first placement groove 31 and the second placement groove 41, respectively. The two ends of the cutlery at the bottom of the placement channel are placed on the first tray 32 and the second tray 42, respectively. When forks, spoons, or other cutlery with curved ends are placed in the storage channel on the cutlery box 2, the second tray 42 can be set at an angle to better fit the shape of the cutlery ends.
[0033] In the above technical solution: The cutlery box 2 has a feeding slot 21, which is connected to the storage channel via a feeding notch 34. The bottom of the feeding slot 21 is a guide slope 22, and the side of the cutlery box 2 has a feeding port 23 communicating with the feeding slot 21. The bottom of the feeding port 23 is located at the lowest point of the guide slope 22. After the cutlery is removed from the storage channel, it enters the feeding slot 21. The cutlery in the feeding slot 21 moves to the feeding port 23 under the guidance of the guide slope 22. The bottoms of the first stop block 3 and the second stop block 4 are inserted into the feeding slot 21 and fixed to the two walls of the feeding slot 21 respectively. The cutlery stacked in the storage channel can fall into the feeding slot 21 under the push of the pusher block 52. The user can retrieve the cutlery through the feeding port 23, ensuring orderly retrieval and maintaining the hygiene of the cutlery.
[0034] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, the cutlery box 2 is equipped with a dispensing drive mechanism 5, which includes a pull rod 51, a push block 52, and a connecting wire 55. The pull rod 51 is hinged to the cutlery box 2, and the two ends of the connecting wire 55 are connected to the pull rod 51 and the push block 52, respectively. Moving the pull rod 51 causes the push block 52 to move via the connecting wire 55. The connecting wire 55 is specifically a steel wire to ensure connection strength. The dispensing drive mechanism 5 also includes an elastic element 57. One end of the elastic element 57 is fixed to the cutlery box 2, and the other end is connected to the push block 52. When the push block 52 moves and pushes the bottom cutlery in contact with the tray, the elastic element 57 is extended.
[0035] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the side of the cutlery box 2 has a limiting groove 27, and the limiting groove 27 has two inclined limiting groove walls 28, which are arranged in a V-shape. The end of the pull rod 51 is hinged in the limiting groove 27. The pull rod 51 rotates longitudinally within the limiting groove 27. When the pull rod 51 contacts the limiting groove wall 28, the pull rod 51 stops rotating. The limiting groove 27 limits the rotation of the pull rod 51.
[0036] In the above technical solution: the dispensing drive mechanism 5 also includes a slide rail 53, a slider 54, and a guide post 56. The slide rail 53 is horizontally fixed on the cutlery box 2, and the slider 54 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 53. An mounting block 521 is integrally formed on the push block 52 and is fixed on the slider 54. The slider 54 and the slide rail 53 guide and direct the movement of the push block 52. A clearance notch 522 is formed on the mounting block 521, which makes way for the side wall of the moving channel 33 to prevent the mounting block 521 from interfering with the movement of the push block 52. The guide post 56 is mounted on the cutlery box 2, located on one side of the push block 52 and the slide rail 53. The pull rod 51 is located below the guide post 56, and the middle part of the connecting line 55 rests on the guide post 56, making the connecting line 55 approximately L-shaped. The L-shaped connecting line 55 enables the push block 52 to move laterally when the pull rod 51 is pushed down, making it easier to drive the push block 52.
[0037] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 3 As shown, two movable limit blocks 58 are also fixed on the cutlery box 2, and the two movable limit blocks 58 are located at both ends of the slide rail 53. The slider 54 moves on the slide rail 53. When the slider 54 contacts the movable limit block 58, the slider 54 stops moving. The movable limit block 58 limits the movement of the slider 54 to prevent the slider 54 from leaving the slide rail 53.
[0038] The slider 54 is located on the slide rail 53 at the end away from the pull rod 51, and the end of the pull rod 51 is tilted upward, which is the initial state. When it is necessary to take the tableware, the pull rod 51 is pushed down. The pull rod 51 drives the push block 52 and the slider 54 to move horizontally along the slide rail 53 through the connecting line 55, so that the end of the push block 52 enters the first placement groove 31 and pushes the bottom tableware. At this time, the elastic element 57 is extended. The push of the push block 52 causes the end of the bottom tableware to pass through the placement notch 34 and get off the first tray 32. Since the end of the bottom tableware loses the support of the first tray 32, the bottom tableware loses its balance and gets off the second tray 42 under the action of gravity. It falls directly out of the placement channel and enters the placement slot 21. The tableware in the placement slot 21 moves to the placement port 23 under the guidance of the guide slope 22 and falls out through the placement port 23, completing the placement of the tableware. When the lever 51 is released, the elastic element 57 releases its elastic force, causing the slider 54 and the push block 52 to move and reset. The push block 52 disengages from the first placement groove 31, and the reset movement of the slider 54 drives the lever 51 to automatically rotate upward and reset via the connecting line 55.
[0039] During the process of the bottom cutlery moving out of the storage channel, the cutlery above the bottom cutlery is blocked by the groove wall of the first storage groove 31, ensuring that the cutlery above the bottom cutlery will not leave the storage channel with the movement of the bottom cutlery, ensuring that only the bottom cutlery is put out; after the original bottom cutlery leaves the storage channel, the cutlery in the storage channel moves down as a whole, so that the two ends of the current bottom cutlery are placed on the first tray 32 and the second tray 42 respectively, and wait for the next placement. The cutlery mentioned in this utility model is mainly disposable cutlery, which is lightweight, easy to put out, and ensures the stability of the placement and resetting process. Moreover, it can flexibly produce cutlery of corresponding length according to the length of the storage channel, ensuring that the cutlery can be placed stably on the first tray 32 and the second tray 42.
[0040] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 6, the device also includes a base 1, with several sets of cutlery boxes 2 located within it. The base 1 contains three sets of cutlery boxes 2, each with its own storage channel holding three different types of cutlery, such as knives, forks, and spoons, to meet the diverse needs of users. The base 1 has a base slide rail 11, and the bottom of each cutlery box 2 has a sliding groove 24. Both the base slide rail 11 and the sliding groove 24 are I-shaped, with the base slide rail 11 located within the sliding groove 24, allowing the cutlery box 2 to slide smoothly onto the base 1. The side of the base 1 has a movable opening 13, through which the cutlery box 2 can be moved out of the base 1.
[0041] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 1 , 6 As shown in Figure 7, a movable limiting mechanism 6 is provided on the base 1. The movable limiting mechanism 6 includes a rotating handle 61, a rotating rod 62, and several positioning blocks 63 sleeved and fixed on the rotating rod 62. The rotating rod 62 is hinged to the bottom of the base 1, and the end of the rotating rod 62 protrudes from the side of the base 1 and is fitted with the rotating handle 61. Positioning protrusions 64 are formed on the positioning blocks 63. The positioning protrusions 64 include a vertical positioning surface 65 and an inclined moving guide surface 66. The moving guide surface 66 is located near the moving opening 13, and the vertical positioning surface 65 is located away from the moving opening 13. A moving hole 12 is formed on the base 1, and a positioning hole 25 is formed on the bottom of the cutlery box 2. The end of the positioning protrusion 64 passes through the moving hole 12 and is located in the positioning hole 25.
[0042] In the above technical solution: there is a space for movement between the wall of the positioning hole 25 and the positioning protrusion 64, which allows the positioning protrusion 64 to rotate within the positioning hole 25 until it disengages from the positioning hole 25. Specifically, the space for movement exists between the wall of the positioning hole 25 and the vertical positioning surface 65.
[0043] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 7As shown, the moving limiting mechanism 6 also includes a tension spring 67, the two ends of which are fixed to the positioning block 63 and the bottom of the base 1, respectively. The rotation of the positioning protrusion 64 causes the tension spring 67 to be stretched.
[0044] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 7 As shown, the end of the rotating rod 62 has an anti-rotation surface 68, and the rotating handle 61 has a corresponding anti-rotation mounting hole. The end of the rotating rod 62 is inserted into the anti-rotation mounting hole. The anti-rotation surface 68 prevents the rotating handle 61 from rotating relative to the rotating rod 62, ensuring the synchronous rotation of the rotating handle 61 and the rotating rod 62.
[0045] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 6 As shown, a base limiting block 14 is provided on the base slide rail 11. When the cutlery box 2 is installed in place, the end of the cutlery box 2 contacts the base limiting block 14. The base limiting block 14 positions the cutlery box 2 on the base 1.
[0046] When the end of the cutlery box 2 contacts the base limiting block 14, the cutlery box 2 and the base 1 are installed in place. Since the vertical positioning surface 65 is located away from the moving opening 13, the space between the hole wall of the positioning hole 25 and the vertical positioning surface 65 is also the limiting distance of the cutlery box 2. When the cutlery box 2 moves outward accidentally, the hole wall of the positioning hole 25 contacts the vertical positioning surface 65 to prevent the cutlery box 2 from accidentally moving out of the base 1 and to ensure the connection between the cutlery box 2 and the base 1.
[0047] When it is necessary to detach the cutlery box 2 from the base 1, rotate the rotating handle 61. This rotates the positioning block 63 via the rotating rod 62, causing the positioning protrusion 64 to rotate away from the moving opening 13. During this rotation, the positioning protrusion 64 disengages from the positioning hole 25 through the movable space, allowing the cutlery box 2 to move outward and exit the base 1 through the moving opening 13. The rotation of the rotating handle 61 causes the tension spring 67 to extend. After the cutlery box 2 is removed separately, it is convenient to store cutlery inside.
[0048] After the cutlery box 2 is removed, the rotating handle 61 is released. The tension spring 67 releases its elasticity, causing the rotating handle 61 to rotate in the opposite direction and reset. The positioning block 63 rotates and resets synchronously, and the top of the positioning protrusion 64 protrudes out of the moving hole 12.
[0049] After the tableware in the tableware box 2 is stored, it is reinstalled into the base 1. During the repositioning process, the tableware box 2 contacts the moving guide surface 66. Guided by the moving guide surface 66, the tableware box 2 presses against the positioning block 63 during the repositioning process, causing the positioning block 63 to rotate until the positioning protrusion 64 rotates into the moving hole 12. The rotation of the positioning block 63 causes the tension spring 67 to extend. When the tableware box 2 moves into place on the base 1, the end of the tableware box 2 contacts the base limiting block 14. At this time, the positioning hole 25 is directly above the moving hole 12. The tension spring 67 is released elastically, causing the positioning block 63 to rotate and reset, the positioning protrusion 64 to rotate and reset, and the top of the positioning protrusion 64 inserts into the positioning hole 25, completing the positioning of the tableware box 2.
[0050] In the above technical solutions: such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the cutlery box 2 is also equipped with a dust cover 26, which covers the dispensing drive mechanism 5. The dust cover 26 has a pull rod notch for the pull rod 51 to protrude from the dust cover 26, facilitating the operation of the pull rod 51. The dust cover 26 protects the dispensing drive mechanism 5 from dust and ensures stable operation of the dispensing drive mechanism 5. The dust cover 26 has several hooks, and the first stop block 3 and the side of the cutlery box 2 have several corresponding buckle holes 7. The hooks can be inserted into the buckle holes 7 to realize the detachable installation of the dust cover 26, which facilitates the maintenance of the dispensing drive mechanism 5.
[0051] In this invention, tableware stacked in the storage channel can fall into the dispensing slot 21 under the push of the pusher 52. The user can then retrieve the dispensed tableware through the dispensing opening 23. The tableware is dispensed in an orderly manner, ensuring its hygiene. Moving the pull rod 51 via the connecting cable 55 moves the pusher 52. The dispensing drive mechanism 5 is manually operated, simple and reliable, and the dispensing process is simple, fast, and labor-saving, with low cost and small size. The dispensing drive mechanism 5 includes an elastic element 57. When the pull rod 51 is moved, the elastic element 57 extends. After releasing the pull rod 51, the elastic force of the elastic element 57 causes the pusher 52 and the pull rod 51 to quickly return to their original positions, ready for the next dispensing. The height of the dispensing notch 34 only allows a single piece of tableware to pass through, ensuring that only one piece of tableware is dispensed at a time, resulting in precise dispensing. To ensure accuracy and avoid waste of tableware, the base 1 contains three sets of tableware boxes 2, each with a storage channel for three different types of tableware, such as knives, forks, and spoons, to meet the diverse needs of users. The positioning hole 25 and the vertical positioning surface 65 work together to limit the movement of the tableware box 2, preventing it from accidentally moving out of the base 1 and ensuring the connection between the tableware box 2 and the base 1. Rotating the rotating handle 61 allows the positioning protrusion 64 to disengage from the positioning hole 25 through the movable space, at which point the tableware box 2 can be moved outward, allowing it to be moved out of the base 1 through the moving opening 13. After the tableware box 2 is removed separately, it is convenient to store tableware in the tableware box 2. The tension spring 67 ensures that the positioning block 63, the rotating rod 62, and the rotating handle 61 can all automatically return to their original positions after the rotating handle 61 is released.
