Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of popcorn equipment technology, specifically, to an adjustable popcorn feeder. Background Technology

[0002] A fully automatic popcorn machine is a device that automatically feeds corn kernels into a forming unit for heating, causing the kernels to pop and form popcorn. In fully automatic popcorn machines and other industrial production processes involving quantitative material feeding, precise control of the material feeding amount is crucial for ensuring product quality, production efficiency, and cost control.

[0003] However, the existing feeding devices have relatively complex feeding quantity adjustment methods, poor versatility, and difficulty in quickly and accurately adjusting the feeding quantity according to actual production needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides an adjustable popcorn feeder, which aims to solve the problems in the existing technology.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adjustable popcorn feeder, including a measuring base, a rotatable measuring rotor inside the measuring base, a discharge port at the upper end of the measuring base, a discharge pipe at the lower end of the measuring base, a receiving cavity inside the measuring rotor, a receiving port communicating with the receiving cavity on one side of the measuring rotor, the measuring rotor connecting the receiving port to the discharge port or the discharge pipe by rotating, and an adjustment part for adjusting the size of the receiving cavity inside the receiving cavity.

[0006] In the aforementioned adjustable popcorn feeder, a drive motor is mounted on one end of the measuring base via a mounting plate, a motor connection hole is provided at one end of the measuring rotor, and the motor shaft of the drive motor is connected to the motor connection hole.

[0007] In the aforementioned adjustable popcorn feeder, the adjusting part includes a slider, which is embedded in the receiving chamber and is movably disposed within the receiving chamber.

[0008] In the aforementioned adjustable popcorn feeder, a screw is threadedly connected to the slider, and a knob is fixedly installed at the end of the screw away from the slider. The knob is located on the side of the measuring base away from the drive motor.

[0009] In the aforementioned adjustable popcorn feeder, a transverse circular cavity is provided in the measuring base, the measuring rotor passes through the circular cavity, and the discharge port and discharge pipe are both connected to the circular cavity.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that, by rotating the measuring rotor, the material falling into the receiving chamber is poured into the discharge pipe for output. Moreover, the size of the internal space of the receiving chamber can be adjusted by the adjustment part, thereby adjusting the amount of material discharged. After adjusting the internal space of the receiving chamber, the amount of material discharged each time can be basically the same, achieving stable quantitative feeding, improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0016] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0017] Combination Figures 1 to 4 The popcorn adjustable feeder shown includes a measuring base 1, a rotatable measuring rotor 3 inside the measuring base 1, a discharge port 2 at the upper end of the measuring base 1, and a discharge pipe 12 at the lower end of the measuring base 1. The measuring rotor 3 has a receiving chamber 5 inside, and a receiving port 4 connected to the receiving chamber 5 is opened on one side of the measuring rotor 3. The measuring rotor 3 rotates to connect the receiving port 4 to the discharge port 2 or the discharge pipe 12. The receiving chamber 5 has an adjustment part that can adjust its size. In this embodiment, the rotation of the measuring rotor 3 causes the material falling into the receiving chamber 5 to be poured into the discharge pipe 12 for output. Furthermore, the size of the space inside the receiving chamber 5 can be adjusted by the adjustment part, thereby adjusting the amount of material discharged. After adjusting the internal space of the receiving chamber 5, the amount of material discharged each time can be basically the same, achieving stable quantitative feeding and improving product quality and production efficiency.

[0018] The measuring base 1 is a box with a horizontal circular cavity inside. The measuring rotor (3) passes through the circular cavity. The material discharge port (2) and the material discharge pipe (12) are both connected to the circular cavity, so that the measuring rotor 3 rotates in the rotor cavity. The distance between the outer wall of the measuring rotor (3) and the inner wall of the circular cavity is 1-2mm, which can prevent material jamming and ensure smoothness.

[0019] One end of the measuring base 1 is equipped with a drive motor 11 via a mounting plate 10, and one end of the measuring rotor 3 is provided with a motor connection hole 7. The motor shaft of the drive motor 11 is connected to the motor connection hole 7. The drive motor 11 drives the measuring rotor 3 to rotate, so that the receiving port 4 is connected to the discharge port 2 or the discharge pipe 12, thereby facilitating material receiving or discharge.

[0020] The adjustment unit in this embodiment includes a slider 8, which is embedded in the receiving cavity 5 and is movably disposed within the receiving cavity 5. The slider 8 is a block-shaped object adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the receiving cavity 5. The outer wall of the slider 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the receiving cavity 5, so that when the slider 8 moves within the receiving cavity 5, the size of the receiving cavity 5 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the amount of material that the receiving cavity 5 can receive. After adjustment, the amount received each time is basically the same, which facilitates quantitative feeding.

[0021] Specifically, in this embodiment, a screw 9 is threadedly connected to the slider 8. A knob 6 is fixedly installed at the end of the screw 9 away from the slider 8. The knob 6 is located on the side of the measuring base 1 away from the drive motor 11. The screw 9 can be mounted on the measuring base 1 through a bearing. By rotating the knob 6, the screw 9 is rotated, thereby causing the slider 8 to move on the screw 9, so as to adjust the size of the receiving cavity 5. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0022] The adjustable popcorn feeder of this embodiment can be applied to a variety of similar fully automatic equipment, is suitable for different types of materials, and has high versatility.

[0023] The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but this utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
