[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0047] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a food dispensing switch door 300 structure, including a support platform 100, a food storage box 200, a switch door 300, and a switch drive assembly 400; the food storage box 200 is disposed above the support platform 100, one end of the switch door 300 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the support platform 100, and the other end is drively connected to the switch drive assembly 400; the switch drive assembly 400 includes a switch drive component 410 and a switch closing component 420, the switch drive component 410 is disposed on the support platform 100, the switch closing component 420 is disposed on the switch drive component 410, and the switch closing component 420 is connected to the switch door 300.

[0048] Specifically, when the storage bin 10 of the food dispensing equipment discharges material, the switch drive component 410 of the switch drive assembly 400 operates to drive the switch closing component 420 and the switch door 300 to rotate, thereby opening the bottom of the food storage box 200, allowing the food in the upper storage bin 10 to be discharged through the food storage box 200. After the discharge is completed, the switch drive component 410 drives the switch closing component 420 and the switch door 300 to reset. During the reset process, the switch closing component 420 can press against the bottom of the switch door 300, thereby tightly abutting the switch door 300 against the food storage box 200, ensuring that the switch door 300 is closed tightly and that the cold air above does not leak out.

[0049] The storage compartment 10 is positioned above the food storage box 200, allowing food inside the storage compartment 10 to fall into the food storage box 200, and the storage compartment 10 is in a low-temperature environment.

[0050] See Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a switch adapter plate 310 is fixedly provided at the end of the switch door 300. One end of the switch adapter plate 310 is pivotally connected to the support platform 100, and the other end is provided with a switch rotation stop pin 311. The switch rotation stop pin 311 is connected to the switch drive member 410 so that the switch rotation stop pin 311 can drive the switch door 300 to rotate through the switch adapter plate 310.

[0051] The switch adapter plate 310 is equipped with a switch rotating pin 312, which is rotatably mounted on the support platform 100. The switch adapter plate 310 is L-shaped.

[0052] Specifically, the switch door 300 is pivotally connected to the support platform 100 via an L-shaped switch adapter plate 310. One end of the L-shaped switch adapter plate 310 is provided with a switch rotating pin 312 that is rotatably connected to the support platform 100, and the other end is provided with a switch rotating stop pin 311. The switch rotating stop pin 311 can abut against the switch toggle lever 416 of the switch drive member 410. Thus, when the switch drive member 410 works and drives the switch toggle lever 416 to swing, the switch toggle lever 416 can drive the switch rotating pin 312 to swing, thereby driving the switch door 300 to rotate.

[0053] See Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, in an optional embodiment, the switch drive unit 410 includes a switch motor 411, a switch rack 412, and a switch drive shaft 413. The switch motor 411 is mounted on the support platform 100, the switch rack 412 is slidably mounted on the support platform 100, and the output end of the switch motor 411 is provided with a first switch drive gear 414 adapted to the switch rack 412. The switch drive shaft 413 is rotatably mounted on the support platform 100, and the end of the switch drive shaft 413 is provided with a second switch drive gear 415 adapted to the switch rack 412.

[0054] Limit switches 110 are provided on both sides of the switch rack 412 on the support platform 100, and switch trigger rods for matching the limit switches 110 are provided at both ends of the switch rack 412.

[0055] The switch drive shaft 413 includes a first switch drive shaft 413 and a second switch drive shaft 413, and the switch door 300 includes a first switch door 301 and a second switch door 302. The first switch drive shaft 413 and the second switch drive shaft 413 correspond to the first switch door 301 and the second switch door 302, respectively. A second switch drive gear 415 is provided on both the first switch drive shaft 413 and the second switch drive shaft 413, and a driven switch gear 417 is provided between the second switch drive gear 415 of the first switch drive shaft 413 and the switch rack 412.

[0056] The switch drive shaft 413 is provided with a switch toggle lever 416, which abuts against the switch rotation stop pin 311.

[0057] Specifically, the operation of the switch motor 411 can drive the first switch drive gear 414 to rotate, the first switch drive gear 414 can drive the switch rack 412 to move, and the movement of the switch rack 412 can directly or through the driven switch gear 417 drive the second switch drive gear 415 set on both the first switch drive shaft 413 and the second switch drive shaft 413 to rotate, thereby driving both the first switch drive shaft 413 and the second switch drive shaft 413 to rotate, and the rotation of the first switch drive shaft 413 and the second switch drive shaft 413 can drive the switch toggle lever 416 on it to swing, and the swing of the switch toggle lever 416 can drive the switch rotating pin 312 to swing, thereby driving the switch door 300 to rotate.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the switch closing member 420 includes a switch pressure plate 421, a switch compression spring 422, and a switch compression spring bolt 423. The switch compression spring bolt 423 is connected to the bottom of the switch door 300, and the switch compression spring 422 is sleeved on the switch compression spring bolt 423. The switch pressure plate 421 is fixedly mounted on the switch drive shaft 413, and a switch groove 424 is provided on the switch pressure plate 421. The switch compression spring bolt 423 passes through the switch groove 424. One end of the switch compression spring 422 abuts against the switch door 300, and the other end abuts against the switch pressure plate 421.

[0059] Specifically, the switch plate 421 is fixedly mounted on the switch drive shaft 413, and the switch spring bolt 423 passes through the switch groove 424 of the switch plate 421. The switch spring bolt 423 is screwed into the bottom of the switch door 300, and a switch compression spring 422 is sleeved on the switch spring bolt 423. One end of the switch compression spring 422 abuts against the switch door 300, and the other end abuts against the switch plate 421. When the switch drive shaft 413 drives the switch door 300 to reset, the switch compression spring 422 on the switch spring bolt 423 will press against the bottom of the switch door 300 and the switch plate 421, thereby ensuring that the switch door 300 is closed tightly.

[0060] This embodiment provides a food dispensing device, including a food dispensing switch door 300 structure.

[0061] Specifically, the food dispensing equipment provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned food dispensing door 300 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 solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, 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. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
