[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present invention discloses a quantitative feeding mechanism for pastry flour, comprising a mixing chamber 1; a set of weighing boxes 11 are provided above the mixing chamber 1; the bottom center of the weighing boxes 11 is connected to the mixing chamber 1 via a feeding pipe 12; the front view cross-section of the weighing boxes 11 is an inverted T-shape; a disc 16 is slidably connected to the upper inner wall of the weighing boxes 11, and a weighing sensor is provided inside the disc 16; a cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 1 via a fixing rod; the piston rod 15 of the cylinder 14 passes through the feeding pipe 12 and extends into the weighing box 11, while the piston... The top of rod 15 is positioned on the bottom of disc 16; a feed pipe 13 is connected to the middle of the top of the weighing box 11; in the prior art, when manufacturing pastries, a pre-mixing operation is required, that is, mixing the ingredients and flour evenly. However, existing devices generally rely on manual input of ingredients or flour, which results in a large error between the input and the required amount, affecting the final taste and quality of the pastry. Therefore, this utility model provides a weighing box 11 during operation, and the weighing box 11 is fed through the feed pipe 13 (both the feed pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 17 are equipped with electrically controlled valves). (In the existing technology) Material accumulates on disc 16, which is also equipped with a weighing sensor to constantly sense gravity and transmit the data wirelessly to the main control console. When the required gravity is reached, the feeding pipe 13 stops feeding (the amount of flour fed is not absolutely quantitative due to adhesion, etc.; the relative amount fed is not much different from the required amount, or within the error range, it does not affect the final taste). Then, cylinder 14 operates, causing disc 16 to detach from the upper chamber of the weighing cylinder and enter the lower chamber. The material on disc 16 then falls into the lower chamber of the weighing cylinder and is then fed through feeding pipe 12. The material enters the mixing chamber 1 (which has a mixing mechanism, which will not be described in detail in the prior art, and the mixing chamber 1 is also prior art). After the material is fed, the disc 16 moves up and enters the upper cavity of the weighing cylinder, and then continues the next step of weighing and quantitative feeding. Through the above operation, intelligent operation can be effectively guaranteed. At the same time, the end of the feeding pipe 13 is connected to the feeding box (prior art), which avoids the inaccuracy of manual operation, thereby effectively ensuring relative quantitative operation and ensuring the quality requirements of the pastry (the weighing sensor is prior art, has a built-in power supply, and can be wirelessly charged).

[0025] A discharge pipe 17 is provided on the upper outer side wall of the weighing box 11, and the discharge pipe 17 is located above the disc 16; a receiving box 18 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the weighing box 11, and the receiving box 18 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the weighing box 11; during operation, if too much material is fed through the feed pipe 13, or if it cannot be closed in time, there will be too much material on the disc 16. Therefore, the discharge pipe 17 is opened to discharge the excess material, which is then collected by the receiving box 18 to ensure the relative accuracy of the input amount.

[0026] The piston rod 15 includes a first lifting rod 2 and a connecting rod 21; the output end of the cylinder 14 is provided with the first lifting rod 2; the top end of the first lifting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 21; the top end of the connecting rod 21 passes through the feeding pipe 12 and extends into the weighing box 11, while the top end of the connecting rod 21 is fixed to the bottom end of the disc 16; the connecting rod 21 rotates through a rotating unit.

[0027] The rotating unit includes a servo motor 22; the servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the weighing box 11; the output end of the servo motor 22 is provided with a first gear 23; a second gear 24 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting rod 21, and the second gear 24 is set through a support unit; the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 mesh with each other; a first slider 26 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second gear 24; a first groove 25 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting rod 21; the first slider 26 is slidably connected in the first groove 25.

[0028] The support unit includes an annular groove 27; the second gear 24 has an annular groove 27 on its top end; an annular block 28 is slidably connected in the annular groove 27; a connecting column 29 is fixedly connected to the top end of the annular block 28, and the top end of the connecting column 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the feed pipe 12.

[0029] During operation, when the material on the disc 16 is vertically aligned to the set value, the first cylinder 14 moves downward, which in turn drives the first lifting rod 2 and the connecting rod 21 to move downward. After the disc 16 enters the lower cavity of the weighing box 11, the servo motor 22 starts working, driving the first gear 23 to rotate. Because the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 mesh with each other, the second gear 24 rotates. Since the second gear 24 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 25 through the first slider 26, the connecting rod 21 rotates. Therefore, the disc 16 rotates, and the centrifugal force can be used to throw the material on the disc 16 out, avoiding material residue and facilitating material unloading. At the same time, due to the setting of the annular block 28 and the annular groove 27, the connecting rod 21 moves up and down without affecting the meshing of the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 (wherein the annular block 28 slides in the annular groove 27, and the two will not separate; the cross-section of the annular block 28 and the annular groove 27 can be set to be inverted T-shaped, which is the existing technology).

[0030] The cavity at the bottom of the weighing box 11 is an inverted cone shape, and a set of long arc-shaped blocks 3 are fixed to the inner wall of the bottom of the weighing box 11; the connecting rod 21 extends into the rod wall of the weighing box 11 and is hinged to a hinge rod 31, and a torsion spring is provided at the hinge; a vibrating ball 32 is fixed to the end of the hinge rod 31; during operation, when the connecting rod 21 moves down or up, the vibrating ball 32 will move on the inclined surface of the lower cavity of the weighing cylinder through the torsion spring force on the hinge rod 31, and then when the connecting rod 21 rotates, the vibrating ball 32 and the long arc-shaped blocks 3 will come into contact with each other and separate, generating vibration force, which further facilitates the efficiency of material handling and avoids the residue of materials.

[0031] Working principle: Weighing box 11 is fed into weighing box 11 through feed pipe 13 (both feed pipe 13 and discharge pipe 17 are equipped with electrically controlled valves, existing technology). The material accumulates on disc 16, which is also equipped with a weighing sensor to continuously sense gravity. This data is transmitted wirelessly to the main control panel. When the required gravity is reached, feed pipe 13 stops feeding (the amount of flour fed is not absolutely quantitative due to adhesion, etc.; the difference between the input and the required amount is small, or within the error range, does not affect the final taste). Then, the air... When cylinder 14 operates, the disc 16 detaches from the upper chamber of the weighing cylinder and enters the lower chamber. The material on the disc 16 then falls into the lower chamber of the weighing cylinder and enters the mixing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 12 (the mixing tank 1 has a stirring mechanism, which will not be described in detail in this prior art, and the mixing tank 1 is also prior art). After feeding, the disc 16 moves upward again into the upper chamber of the weighing cylinder, and then the next weighing and quantitative feeding operation continues. Through the above operation, intelligent operation can be effectively ensured. Simultaneously, the end of the feeding pipe 13 is connected to a feeding box (existing technology). To avoid inaccuracies in manual operation, this effectively ensures relatively quantitative operation and guarantees the quality requirements of the pastries. If too much material is fed through the feed pipe 13, or if it cannot be closed immediately, there will be too much material on the disc 16. Therefore, the discharge pipe 17 is opened to discharge the excess material, which is then collected in the receiving box 18 to ensure the relative accuracy of the input amount. When the disc 16 is vertically aligned with the set value, the first cylinder 14 moves downward, thereby driving the first lifting rod 2 and the connecting rod 21 downward. After the disc 16 enters the lower cavity of the weighing box 11, the servo... When the servo motor 22 operates, it drives the first gear 23 to rotate. Because the first gear 23 and the second gear 24 mesh with each other, the second gear 24 rotates. Since the second gear 24 is slidably connected to the first slide groove 25 through the first slider 26, the connecting rod 21 rotates at this time. Therefore, the disc 16 rotates, and the centrifugal force can be used to throw the material on the disc 16 out, avoiding material residue and facilitating material unloading. At the same time, due to the setting of the annular block 28 and the annular groove 27, the connecting rod 21 can move up and down without affecting the meshing of the first gear 23 and the second gear 24.
