[0045] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a storage bin lifting structure for a food dispenser, including a housing 100, a storage bin 10, a bin support 200, a weighing assembly 300, and a lifting assembly 400. A support platform 110 is provided inside the housing 100, the weighing assembly 300 is mounted on the support platform 110, the bin support 200 is mounted on the weighing assembly 300, and the storage bin 10 is mounted on the bin support 200. Multiple sets of lifting assemblies 400 are provided on the support platform 110, and the lifting assemblies 400 abut against the bottom of the bin support 200 so that the lifting assemblies 400 can drive the bin support 200 to rise, causing the bin support 200 to detach from the weighing assembly 300.
[0047] Specifically, when it is necessary to add material to or clean the storage silo 10, the lifting component 400 lifts the silo support 200, so that the storage silo 10 connected to the silo support 200 can be moved away from the weighing component 300 on the support platform 110. This prevents adverse effects on the weighing sensor 310 of the weighing component 300 when adding material to or cleaning the storage silo 10, and improves the service life of the weighing sensor 310.
[0048] The weighing component 300 includes multiple weighing sensors 310, which are mounted on the support platform 110; the hopper support component 200 is mounted on the multiple weighing sensors 310.
[0049] The support platform 110 is equipped with multiple lifting components 400, which are distributed at the bottom of the hopper support 200. The lifting rods 420 of the lifting components 400 can lift the hopper support 200. The lifting rods 420 and the hopper support 200 can be fixedly connected or abutted.
[0050] See Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the hopper support 200 includes a support frame 210 and a hopper support platform 220 for supporting the storage hopper body 10; the support frame 210 is mounted on multiple weighing sensors 310, and the hopper support platform 220 is mounted on the support frame 210; multiple lifting components 400 can abut against the bottom of the support frame 210 to lift the support frame 210 away from the weighing sensors 310.
[0051] The support frame 210 is provided with a weighing top rod 211 that can abut against the weighing sensor 310.
[0052] Specifically, a weighing top rod 211 is provided on the support frame 210. The weighing top rod 211 can press against the weighing sensor 310, so that the weighing sensor 310 can measure the weight of the support frame 210 and the device on it. When food is dispensed, the food in the storage bin 10 will be discharged downward. At this time, the weighing sensor 310 can detect the decrease in weight, thereby controlling the discharge amount.
[0053] See Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 includes a lifting drive 410 and a lifting rod 420; the lifting drive 410 is disposed on the support platform 110, the lifting rod 420 is connected to the lifting drive 410 in a transmission manner, and the lifting rod 420 abuts against the bottom of the support frame 210.
[0054] The lifting drive component 410 includes a lifting motor 411, a lifting transmission component 412, and a lifting guide sleeve 413. The lifting motor 411 is mounted on the support platform 110, and the lifting transmission component 412 is located at the output end of the lifting motor 411. The lifting transmission component 412 is connected to the lifting rod 420. The lifting guide sleeve 413 is located on the support platform 110, and the lifting rod 420 is inserted into the lifting guide sleeve 413. The end of the lifting rod 420 away from the lifting transmission component 412 can pass through the lifting guide sleeve 413 and abut against the bottom of the support frame 210.
[0055] A lifting return spring 415 is provided between the lifting rod 420 and the lifting guide sleeve 413, and the lifting return spring 415 is sleeved on the lifting rod 420; a step is provided on the lifting rod 420 to abut against the lifting return spring 415.
[0056] The lifting transmission component 412 includes a lifting cam 416, which is located at the output end of the lifting motor 411 and abuts against the lifting rod 420.
[0057] The lifting motor 411 is equipped with a lifting motor mounting plate 414, which is mounted on the support platform 110.
[0058] Specifically, when it is necessary to lift the storage silo 10, the lifting motor 411 starts to work. The lifting motor 411 can drive the lifting cam 416 to rotate. The rotation of the lifting cam 416 can drive the lifting rod 420 to move up and down. The up and down movement of the lifting rod 420 is constrained by the lifting guide sleeve 413, thereby ensuring that the lifting rod 420 moves vertically up and down. When the lifting rod 420 rises, it can drive the support frame 210 to move upward. The upward movement of the support frame 210 can drive the silo bearing platform 220 and the storage silo 10 on it to move upward, so that the weighing rod 211 at the bottom of the support frame 210 no longer presses on the weighing sensor 310. Then, the staff can add food or clean the storage silo 10.
[0059] Furthermore, a lifting return spring 415 is provided between the lifting rod 420 and the lifting guide sleeve 413, which ensures that the lifting rod 420 is always in contact with the lifting cam 416.
[0060] This embodiment provides a food dispensing device, including a storage bin lifting structure for the food dispenser.
[0061] Specifically, the food dispensing equipment provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned five food dispenser storage bin lifting structure compared with the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments,
[0063] Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein;
[0064] These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solution to deviate from the scope of the technical solution of this utility model embodiment.
