Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, this utility model provides an automatic weighing and dispensing machine for food raw materials, including a dispensing machine body 1. An automatic weighing and dispensing component 2 is provided on the surface of the dispensing machine body 1. The automatic weighing and dispensing component 2 includes two sets of raw material barrels 201. Each set of raw material barrels 201 has a feed inlet 202 connected to its top front end. A flow sensor 203 is connected to the bottom of each raw material barrel 201, and a solenoid valve 204 is connected to the bottom of the flow sensor 203. A PLC controller 205 is connected to one side of the front end of the dispensing machine body 1. A one-way screw 206 is inserted into the center of the dispensing machine body 1. One end of the one-way screw 206 is connected to the output end of a motor body 207. Slide rods 208 are inserted into both sides of the dispensing machine body 1. A moving platform 210 is provided on the surface of the one-way screw 206. A threaded hole 211 is opened at the center of the moving platform 210. Sliding holes 212 are provided on both sides. A weighing device 213 is connected to the surface of the moving platform 210. A first rotating shaft 214 is connected to one side of the surface of the weighing device 213. A weighing box 215 is connected to the surface of the first rotating shaft 214. A second rotating shaft 216 is connected to the other side of the surface of the weighing device 213. A first electric push rod 217 is connected to the surface of the second rotating shaft 216. A placement rack 209 is connected to the center of the front end of the dispensing machine body 1. The PLC controller 205 is electrically connected to the flow sensor 203, the solenoid valve 204, the first electric push rod 217, and the motor body 207. A one-way screw 206 is threadedly connected to the moving platform 210 through a threaded hole 211. The moving platform 210 is slidably connected to the slide rod 208 through a sliding hole 212. The weighing device 213 is rotatably connected to the first electric push rod 217 through the second rotating shaft 216.

[0022] The effect achieved in Embodiment 1 is as follows: When it is necessary to quantitatively remove the powder from the raw material barrel 201, the collection barrel can be placed on the placement rack 209 first. Then, the required type and weight are input through the PLC controller 205. At this time, the PLC controller 205 will first turn on the rotation function of the motor body 207. The output end of the motor body 207 drives the one-way screw 206 to rotate, so that the one-way screw 206 can rotate with the moving table 210 through the threaded hole 211. Then, the moving table 210 is moved by the threaded rotation. When the moving table 210 moves, it will also slide on the surface of the slide rod 208 through the sliding hole 212 to improve the movement effect. When it moves to the bottom of the required raw material barrel 201, the solenoid valve 204 will automatically open. This allows the powder in the raw material container 201 to be automatically fed into the weighing box 215, where it is weighed by the weighing device 213. When the required weight is reached, an electrical signal is sent to the PLC controller 205, causing the PLC controller 205 to close the solenoid valve 204 to stop feeding. Then, the reverse rotation function of the motor body 207 is activated, allowing the moving table 210 to move to the center position. The PLC controller 205 then activates the first electric push rod 217, which pushes the weighing box 215 to reverse, allowing the toner in the weighing box 215 to be poured into the collection bucket. This completes the automatic feeding process, avoiding the problem that the accuracy of manual feeding is difficult to guarantee, which adversely affects the overall efficiency of food processing.

[0023] Example 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a lifting and stirring assembly 3 is provided on the top of the main body 1 of the dispensing machine. The lifting and stirring assembly 3 includes two sets of second electric push rods 301. The output ends of the two sets of second electric push rods 301 are connected to a lifting frame 302. Two sets of stirring motors 303 are connected to the surface of the lifting frame 302. The output ends of the two sets of stirring motors 303 are all connected to stirring blades 304.

[0024] The effect achieved in Example 2 is as follows: turning on the stirring motor 303 can drive the stirring blade 304 to disperse the powder in the raw material barrel 201. Turning on the extension function of the second electric push rod 301 can drive the lifting frame 302 to perform lifting and stirring, thereby improving the dispersion efficiency, avoiding the problem of internal powder solidification, and facilitating the feeding operation.

[0025] Working principle: When it is necessary to quantitatively feed the powder in the raw material barrel 201, the required type and quantity can be input through the PLC controller 205. Then, the moving table 210 will be automatically activated and moved to the bottom of the required raw material barrel 201. Then, the solenoid valve 204 will be automatically opened to allow the powder inside to flow out. At this time, the weighing device 213 can achieve the weighing effect. When the required amount is reached, the solenoid valve 204 will also be automatically closed. Finally, the powder in the weighing box 215 can be poured out by pushing the first electric push rod 217. This avoids the problem that the accuracy of manual feeding is difficult to guarantee, which will have an adverse effect on the overall efficiency of food processing. Activating the second electric push rod 301 can drive the lifting frame 302 to rise and fall, and the powder can be dispersed by the stirring blade 304 to avoid the problem of powder agglomeration and facilitate feeding operation.

[0026] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
