Detailed Implementation
[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rice and flour weighing cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, on which a storage mechanism for storing grain is provided, the storage mechanism including,
[0035] Two placement slots 2 are movably installed on the top surface of the cabinet 1. One placement slot 2 contains a rice storage box 4, and the other placement slot 2 contains a flour storage box 5. Both the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5 have a grain outlet 6 on their bottom surfaces.
[0036] The weighing device 3 is installed on the inner bottom wall of the placement slot 2, and the front of the cabinet 1 is provided with a display 13 electrically connected to it.
[0037] The cabinet 1 has a passage 7 on the top surface for inserting a grain outlet 6. A valve plate 9 is provided on the inner top wall of the cabinet 1 to block the passage 7. A connection port 10 is provided on the valve plate 9. A metering bucket 11 that can be connected to the connection port 10 is placed inside the cabinet 1.
[0038] Specifically, the top surface of the cabinet 1 has two movable placement slots 2, which respectively hold a rice storage box 4 and a flour storage box 5. Both have a grain outlet 6 on their bottom surfaces. A weighing device 3 is installed on the bottom wall of the placement slots 2, and the display 13 on the front of the cabinet 1 is electrically connected to it. A passage 7 on the top surface of the cabinet 1 allows the grain outlet 6 to be inserted. A valve plate 9 on the inner top wall can seal the passage 7. A connection port 10 on the valve plate 9 can connect to a quantitative container 11 inside the cabinet 1. When rice or flour in the rice storage box 4 or flour storage box 5 enters the passage 7 through the grain outlet 6, if the valve plate 9 moves to align the connection port 10 with the passage 7, the rice or flour flows into the quantitative container 11. The weighing device 3 measures the weight of the rice storage box 4 or flour storage box 5 and the rice or flour inside in real time, and the data is transmitted to the display 13 for display. This achieves real-time weighing and display of the rice and flour weight, allowing users to intuitively understand the remaining rice and flour, and facilitating accurate inventory management. Simultaneously, the design of the valve plate 9 and the quantitative container 11 effectively controls the rice and flour outflow path, providing a basis for quantitative outflow.
[0039] It should be noted that the grain outlet 6, located at the bottom of the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5, can discharge grains from the bottom of the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5, which meets the first-in-first-out storage requirement.
[0040] It should be noted that the temperature and humidity sensors inside the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5 continuously collect temperature and humidity data inside the box using high-precision sensors. Users can view the temperature and humidity data through the temperature and humidity sensors to keep track of the storage environment at any time. By obtaining the temperature and humidity data in a timely manner, users can take measures such as turning on the ventilation equipment or placing desiccants to adjust the storage environment according to the actual situation, effectively ensuring the quality of rice and flour storage, significantly extending the shelf life, and avoiding spoilage of rice and flour due to negligence.
[0041] See Figure 5 There are three measuring containers 11, each with a capacity of 100g, 500g, and 1000g respectively.
[0042] Specifically, when dispensing, users can select the appropriate quantity container 11 according to actual needs and connect it to the connection port 10 on the valve plate 9 so that rice and flour can flow into the corresponding quantity container 11. This satisfies diverse usage scenarios, allowing users to flexibly obtain rice and flour of different weights and specifications according to actual needs, reducing resource waste and improving ease of use.
[0043] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A screening mechanism 12 is provided inside the opening 7 of the storage box 5. The screening mechanism 12 includes:
[0044] The screening cylinder 121 is movably disposed inside the opening 7, its outer diameter is smaller than the inner diameter of the opening 7, and its bottom surface is provided with sieve holes.
[0045] The expansion disc 122 is integrally formed on the top surface of the screening cylinder 121 and is located inside the through-hole 7, and can slide along the axial direction of the through-hole 7;
[0046] Multiple support springs 123 are arranged in a circumferential array on the bottom surface of the expanded diameter plate 122, and their other ends are connected to the inner wall of the through port 7.
[0047] The vibrator 124 is connected to the inner wall of the screening cylinder 121.
[0048] Specifically, when flour enters the inlet 7 from the flour storage box 5 through the grain outlet 6, the vibrator 124 is activated, driving the sieving cylinder 121 to vibrate. The support spring 123 assists the sieving cylinder 121 in vibrating up and down, so that the flour is sieved in the sieving cylinder 121, and the lumpy flour is broken up and falls through the sieve holes. This effectively solves the problem that flour is easy to clump together during storage, which affects its use, and ensures that the flour can be released from the warehouse smoothly, thus improving the efficiency of flour use.
[0049] See Figure 4 Both the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5 are equipped with guide plates inside. The guide plates are inclined, and the lower end of the inclined guide plate corresponds to the grain outlet 6.
[0050] Specifically, under the influence of gravity, the rice and flour slide down the guide plate to the grain outlet 6, facilitating the smooth flow of the rice and flour. The flow path of the rice and flour in the storage box has been optimized, enabling the rice and flour to leave the storage more smoothly, reducing residue and improving the utilization rate of the rice and flour.
[0051] See Figure 5 The inner top wall of cabinet 1 is equipped with a slide rail 8, and the valve plate 9 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 8.
[0052] Specifically, it facilitates the movement of valve plate 9, making the position control of valve plate 9 more precise, thereby accurately controlling the outbound path of rice and flour.
[0053] See Figure 5The top surface of the valve plate 9 is attached to the inner top wall of the cabinet 1, and a handle is provided at the front end of the valve plate 9.
[0054] Specifically, it improves the ease of operation of valve plate 9, enabling operators to more easily control the movement of valve plate 9 and improve operating efficiency.
[0055] See Figure 4 The initial position of the connection port 10 is staggered with that of the through port 7. The inner wall of the connection port 10 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the metering barrel 11 is provided with an external thread that matches the internal thread.
[0056] Specifically, when a fixed quantity needs to be dispensed, the metering bucket 11 is rotated to connect with the threaded connection port 10, and then the valve plate 9 is moved to align the connection port 10 with the outlet 7, allowing the rice and flour to flow into the metering bucket 11. This ensures the stability of the connection between the metering bucket 11 and the valve plate 9, prevents leakage of rice and flour during the dispensing process, and ensures the accuracy of the metered dispensing.
[0057] See Figure 1 The front end of the cabinet 1 is provided with a cabinet door 14, and a hinge is connected to the side wall of the cabinet door 14. The cabinet door 14 is connected to the cabinet 1 through the hinge.
[0058] Specifically, the cabinet 1 can be opened or closed by rotating the cabinet door 14, which facilitates the maintenance, cleaning or replacement of components such as the metering bin 11 inside the cabinet 1; it facilitates operation inside the cabinet, meets the requirements for equipment cleaning and maintenance in food hygiene, helps maintain the hygiene inside the cabinet, and ensures the quality of rice and flour storage.
[0059] Working principle: The cabinet 1 serves as the basic frame, with two movable placement slots 2 on its top surface, respectively supporting the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5. The grain outlet 6 at the bottom of the box corresponds to the opening 7 on the top surface of the cabinet. The weighing device 3 on the bottom wall of the placement slot 2 monitors the weight of the rice storage box 4 and the flour storage box 5 and the rice and flour inside them in real time, and transmits the data to the display 13 on the front of the cabinet 1 for the user to see. When rice and flour need to be dispensed, the valve plate 9 slides on the slide rail 8 on the top wall of the cabinet 1. By operating the front handle, the connection port 10 on the valve plate 9 is aligned with the opening 7. At this time, according to the actual weight of rice and flour needed, the 100g, 500g, and 1000g holding cavities are selected. The metering bin 11 is securely connected to the connection port 10 via threads. Under the action of gravity, the rice and flour in the rice storage box 4 or flour storage box 5 slide along the inclined guide plate to the grain outlet 6 and flow into the corresponding metering bin 11 through the opening 7. For the flour storage box 5, the screening mechanism 12 inside the opening 7 is activated, and the vibrator 124 is started, which drives the screening cylinder 121 to vibrate. With the assistance of the support spring 123, the flour entering the opening 7 is screened, breaking up the lumpy flour and letting it fall through the sieve holes into the metering bin 11. The cabinet door 14, which is connected to the front face of the cabinet 1 via hinges, can be opened for daily maintenance, cleaning, or replacement of internal metering bins 11 and other components.
[0060] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
