[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a food dispensing protective structure, including a storage bin 100, a dispensing drive 200, and a flexible baffle 300; the storage bin 100 has an inlet 110 at the top and a discharge outlet 120 at the bottom; the dispensing drive 200 is rotatably disposed inside the storage bin 100, and the flexible baffle 300 is disposed on the side wall of the storage bin 100, with flexible baffles 300 disposed on both sides of the dispensing drive 200; the dispensing drive 200 and the flexible baffles 300 divide the internal space of the storage bin 100 into a storage area 101 and a dispensing area 102.
[0039] Specifically, the storage hopper 100 is installed on the food dispensing equipment. During operation, the feeding power component on the food dispensing equipment can drive the feeding drive component 200 inside the storage hopper 100 to work, thereby discharging the frozen food stored in the storage hopper 100 downwards. During the downward discharge of the frozen food, the frozen food is piled up in the storage area 101. The frozen food will fill the space between the side wall of the storage hopper 100 and the feeding drive component 200. When the feeding drive component 200 rotates, the frozen food on the feeding drive component 200 will fall from between the feeding drive component 200 and the flexible baffle 300, and then be discharged from the discharge port 120 at the bottom of the storage hopper 100. When the frozen food is between the feeding drive component 200 and the flexible baffle 300, it can open the flexible baffle 300, preventing the frozen food from being crushed by the feeding drive component 200 and the flexible baffle 300, and reducing the breakage rate of the frozen food.
[0040] In the prior art, the two sides of the feeding drive 200 are the inner walls of the rigid storage bin 100. Frozen foods such as French fries will be squeezed and damaged when they fall under the action of the feeding drive 200.
[0041] The bottom of the storage hopper 100 is funnel-shaped to ensure that frozen food falling from the storage area 101 into the discharge area 102 can be smoothly discharged from the discharge port 120 at the bottom of the storage hopper 100.
[0042] Alternatively, the flexible baffle 300 can be made of rubber. Those skilled in the art can also choose the material of the flexible baffle 300 according to actual needs, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0043] It should also be noted that multiple reinforcing ribs 150 are provided on the side wall of the storage silo 100, which improves the overall strength of the storage silo 100.
[0044] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, in the optional embodiment, the feeding drive 200 includes a feeding drive shaft 210 and a feeding dial 220; the feeding dial 220 is fixedly sleeved on the feeding drive shaft 210, and the feeding drive shaft 210 is disposed inside the storage bin 100; one end of the feeding drive shaft 210 protrudes out of the storage bin 100.
[0045] Specifically, the end of the feeding drive shaft 210 that protrudes from the storage bin 100 can be connected to the feeding power component on the food dispensing equipment. During the food dispensing process, the feeding power component on the food dispensing equipment can drive the feeding drive shaft 210 to rotate, thereby causing the feeding dial 220, which is sleeved on the feeding drive shaft 210, to rotate.
[0046] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the feeding wheel 220 has multiple sets of staggered feeding teeth 221, which can contact the flexible baffle 300 when the feeding wheel 220 rotates.
[0047] Specifically, the feeding wheel 220 has multiple sets of staggered feeding teeth 221, which can more effectively move the frozen food in the storage bin 100.
[0048] In addition, the feeding tooth 221 can contact the flexible baffle 300 when it rotates with the feeding wheel 220. With this setting, the lower part of the storage bin 100 can be sealed by the feeding wheel 220 and the flexible baffle 300 to prevent frozen food from leaking from the storage area 101 to the feeding area 102.
[0049] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the optional scheme of this embodiment, the flexible baffle 300 includes a first flexible baffle 310 and a second flexible baffle 320, and the first flexible baffle 310 and the second flexible baffle 320 are respectively disposed on both sides of the unloading drive member 200.
[0050] The storage silo 100 has a baffle through hole 130 on its side wall for the flexible baffle 300 to pass through.
[0051] Specifically, the first flexible baffle 310 and the second flexible baffle 320 are respectively arranged on both sides of the feeding drive 200, which can reduce the probability of frozen food being damaged due to compression when it falls from both sides of the feeding drive 200 into the feeding area 102.
[0052] In addition, both the first flexible baffle 310 and the second flexible baffle 320 are inserted into the storage hopper 100 through the baffle through hole 130 on the side wall of the storage hopper 100. This arrangement makes it easy for staff to replace the first flexible baffle 310 and the second flexible baffle 320.
[0053] The storage hopper 100 has a recessed baffle mounting seat 140 on its side wall. A baffle through hole 130 is formed on the baffle mounting seat 140 so that the extension direction of the flexible baffle 300 faces the unloading drive member 200. The baffle mounting seat 140 on the side wall of the storage hopper 100 can improve the structural strength of the storage hopper 100.
[0054] This embodiment provides a food dispensing device, including a feeding and protective structure for food dispensing.
[0055] Specifically, the food dispensing equipment provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned food dispensing protection structure compared with the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
[0056] 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.
