[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: a quantitative feeding device for infant complementary food, including a frame 1 and a feed box 4. A first horizontal plate 2 and a second horizontal plate 3 are fixedly arranged on the frame 1. A weighing component 8 is arranged on the first horizontal plate 2. A guide hopper 6 is arranged on the second horizontal plate 3. A feeding cylinder 7 is slidably arranged between the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3. The feeding cylinder 7 is driven by an electric cylinder 9. The lower end of the feed box 4 is connected to a uniform feeding seat 5. The uniform feeding seat 5 is connected to the guide hopper 6. A protective cover 10 is arranged between the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3.

[0028] The feed hopper 4 is pre-stored with a certain amount of raw materials for supplementary food production. The feed evenly distributes the raw materials through the feed even seat 5. The distributed raw materials enter the feed cylinder 7 through the feed hopper 6 and fall onto the weighing pan 83 of the weighing component 8. The weighing sensor 82 monitors the weight of the raw materials on the weighing pan 83 in real time. When the weight of the raw materials reaches the specified value, the feed even seat 5 stops distributing the materials, and the electric cylinder 9 drives the feed cylinder 7 at one end to slide relative to the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3. When the feed cylinder 7 moves to the area of ​​the feed hopper 23, the raw materials are discharged through the feed hopper 23, realizing quantitative feeding. After feeding, the electric cylinder 9 drives the feed cylinder 7 to reset and repeats the above actions to realize continuous quantitative feeding of raw materials.

[0029] The weighing and feeding of raw materials are all completed inside the protective cover 10. The protective cover 10 provides a stable and clean environment for the quantitative feeding of raw materials, preventing impurities from mixing into the raw materials and preventing contamination of the raw materials, thereby improving the quality of the finished product. The weighing sensor 82 of the weighing component 8 accurately controls the amount of raw materials added at one time, further improving the quality of the finished product.

[0030] The feeding cylinder 7 includes a slide plate 71, the upper end face of which is attached to the lower end face of the second horizontal plate 3, the upper end face of the feeding cylinder 7 is attached to the lower end face of the second horizontal plate 3, and the lower end face of the feeding cylinder 7 is attached to the upper end face of the first horizontal plate 2.

[0031] The two ends of the feeding cylinder 7 are respectively attached to the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3. While not affecting the sliding of the feeding cylinder 7 relative to the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3, the gap between the feeding cylinder 7 and the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3 is reduced, thereby preventing external impurities from contaminating the raw materials.

[0032] Among them, a slide rail 31 is provided on the lower end surface of the second horizontal plate 3, and the slide plate 71 is slidably connected to the slide rail 31.

[0033] When the feeding cylinder 7 moves under the drive of the electric cylinder 9, it drives the slide plate 71 fixed thereto to move synchronously. The slide plate 71 slides along the slide rail 31 and is always in close contact with the lower end face of the second horizontal plate 3. When the feeding cylinder 7 moves away, the slide plate 71 blocks the lower opening of the guide hopper 6, thereby preventing external impurities from contaminating the raw materials.

[0034] The weighing assembly 8 includes a mounting bracket 81, on which a weighing sensor 82 is mounted, and the weighing sensor 82 is connected to a weighing pan 83.

[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the upper surface of the weighing pan 83 and the upper surface of the first horizontal plate 2 are on the same horizontal plane. When the feeding cylinder 7 moves under the drive of the electric cylinder 9, it can drive the raw material to move synchronously and remove the raw material from the upper part of the weighing pan 83. The raw material follows the movement of the feeding cylinder 7 and finally falls into the feeding hopper 23 through the second channel 22, and the feeding is realized through the feeding hopper 23.

[0036] The first horizontal plate 2 has a first through groove 21 and a second through groove 22. The weighing pan 83 of the weighing component 8 is located in the first through groove 21. The raw material that is pushed off by the equalizing seat 5 can fall onto the weighing pan 83 of the weighing component 8. The weight of the raw material is monitored in real time by the weighing sensor 82, and the raw material is weighed quantitatively.

[0037] The lower end of the second channel 22 is provided with a feeding hopper 23. The raw material moves with the feeding cylinder 7 and eventually falls into the feeding hopper 23 through the second channel 22.

[0038] Among them, a motor 51 is installed on the outer side of the material leveling seat 5. The output shaft of the motor 51 is fixedly connected to the rotating roller 52, and the rotating roller 52 is located inside the material leveling seat 5. Multiple sets of material feeding plates 53 are provided on the rotating roller 52, and the multiple sets of material feeding plates 53 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating roller 52.

[0039] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the motor 51 drives the rotating roller 52 at one end to rotate. The rotating roller 52 drives multiple sets of material-pushing plates 53 to move. When the material-pushing plates 53 rotate, they push the material located above them and push the material downward. The material falls into the guide hopper 6 under its own gravity, enters the discharge cylinder 7 through the guide hopper 6, and finally falls onto the weighing pan 83 of the weighing component 8. The material is evenly pushed by multiple sets of material-pushing plates 53, which improves the accuracy of weighing.

[0040] The top of the material bin 4 is equipped with a material level sensor 41 and a feeding pipe 42. The feeding pipe 42 is connected to the feeding system. The material level sensor 41 monitors the material level inside the material bin 4 in real time. When the material level is insufficient, the material is replenished in time through the feeding pipe 42.

[0041] The second horizontal plate 3 has a third through groove 32. The raw material pushed off by the equalizing seat 5 enters the guide hopper 6, then passes through the third through groove 32 on the second horizontal plate 3 and enters the discharge cylinder 7, falling onto the weighing pan 83 of the weighing assembly 8.

[0042] Working principle: During use, a certain amount of raw materials for complementary food production are pre-stored in the material bin 4. The raw materials are evenly distributed by the material distribution seat 5. The distributed raw materials enter the feeding cylinder 7 through the guide hopper 6 and fall onto the weighing pan 83 of the weighing component 8. The weighing sensor 82 monitors the weight of the raw materials on the weighing pan 83 in real time. When the weight of the raw materials reaches the specified value, the material distribution seat 5 stops distributing the materials, and the electric cylinder 9 drives the feeding cylinder 7 at one end to slide relative to the first horizontal plate 2 and the second horizontal plate 3. The feeding cylinder 7 moves the raw materials synchronously, removing the raw materials from the top of the weighing pan 83. The raw materials follow the feeding cylinder. The material moves and eventually falls into the hopper 23 through the second channel 22. The material is discharged through the hopper 23. After discharge, the electric cylinder 9 drives the discharge cylinder 7 to reset and repeat the above actions to achieve continuous quantitative discharge of raw materials. The weighing and discharge of raw materials are completed inside the protective cover 10. The protective cover 10 provides a stable and clean environment for the quantitative discharge of raw materials, preventing impurities from mixing into the raw materials and preventing contamination. The feeding pipe 42 is connected to the feeding system. The material level sensor 41 monitors the material level inside the material box 4 in real time. When the material level is insufficient, the material is replenished in time through the feeding pipe 42.

[0043] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
