Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The scallion-dispensing mechanism of an intelligent automatic hot dry noodles vending machine in this embodiment includes a support component 1. The top of the support component 1 is coupled with two outer shells 2. The outer shells 2 are used to improve the stability of the rotating mechanism 3 and the opening and closing component 4. The front of each outer shell 2 is open. An installation plate 5 is fixed to the front of each outer shell 2. A rotating mechanism 3 is provided inside each outer shell 2 to ensure that the scallions and other seasonings roll smoothly. An opening and closing component 4 is provided in the inner cavity of each outer shell 2, which passes through the installation plate 5 and can control the amount of scallions added. A discharge cover 6 is fixed to the front of the two installation plates 5. The discharge cover 6 can collect the scallions and other seasonings discharged by the two opening and closing components 4, so as to smoothly add the scallions to the hot dry noodles.

[0023] In addition, the support component 1 includes a base 101, which can elevate the outer shell 2. At the same time, the inclined base 101 can increase the possibility of the scallions being thrown into the rotating mechanism 3. The top of the base 101 is inclined, and two coupler lower seats 102 are fixed to the top of the base 101. A fixing plate 103 is fixed to the top of the base 101 and behind the two coupler lower seats 102. The coupling method facilitates disassembly and assembly.

[0024] It is known that each rotating mechanism 3 includes a coupler upper seat 301 fixed to the bottom wall of the outer shell 2 and penetrating the bottom wall of the outer shell 2. After installation, the electrodes in the coupler upper seat 301 and the coupler lower seat 102 are connected to realize the quick installation and removal of the electrical interface. A drive motor 305 is fixed on the rear side of the mounting plate 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 305 is equipped with a transmission component 302. A collection chamber 304 is fixed on the back of each mounting plate 5. The front of the collection chamber 304 is connected to the discharge hole. Two stabilizing rods are fixed on the rear side of each mounting plate 5. A stabilizing bearing 303 is fixed on the outer surface of each stabilizing rod. Since the top of the base 101 is at a certain angle, when the rotating mechanism 3 rotates, the material inside will continuously gather towards the cylinder opening. When the material rotates to the top, it falls into the collection chamber 304 due to gravity.

[0025] It should be further explained that each transmission component 302 includes a motor base 3021 fixed to the back of the mounting plate 5. The drive motor 305 is fixed to the mounting plate 5 through the motor base 3021. A drive wheel 3022 is fixed to the outer surface of the output shaft of the drive motor 305. A turntable 3023 is movably connected to the top of the drive wheel 3022. The drive wheel 3022 drives the turntable 3023 to rotate through friction. A material cylinder 3024 extending out of the turntable 3023 is threadedly connected to the inner side wall of the turntable 3023. The material cylinder 3024 is made of general food-grade plastic, which can easily realize cold chain packaging, transportation and recycling, and at the same time facilitate the standardization of food.

[0026] In addition, a sliding groove is provided on the outer surface of the turntable 3023. The sliding groove, together with the drive wheel 3022 and the stabilizing bearing 303, plays a limiting role, thereby ensuring the rotational stability of the turntable 3023. The drive wheel 3022 extends into the sliding groove and is movably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. Each stabilizing bearing 303 extends into the sliding groove and is movably connected to the sliding groove.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the drive wheel 3022 rotates, it will drive the turntable 3023 to rotate, thereby driving the material cylinder 3024 to rotate, so as to realize the tumbling of the material inside the cylinder. When the material cylinder 3024 rotates, the material inside it will continuously gather towards the cylinder opening, and then fly into the collection chamber 304.

[0028] Please refer to it again. Figures 1 to 4To control the amount added, each opening and closing component 4 in this embodiment includes a linear drive element 401 fixed to the inner bottom wall of the outer casing 2. The linear drive element 401 is activated and drives the pull plate 402, which is fixed to the output end of the linear drive element 401. The linear drive element 401 drives the pull plate 402 to move, thereby pulling the pull wire 403. A pull wire 403 is fixed to the rear side of the pull plate 402, penetrating the pull plate 402. A conduit 40 is movably connected to the outer surface of the pull wire 403. 4. The conduit 404 is used to protect the pull wire 403. The top of the linear drive element 401 is fixed with an abutment plate. The pull wire 403 passes through the abutment plate. The rear side of the conduit 404 abuts against the abutment plate. Each mounting plate 5 has a discharge hole through the mounting plate 5 on its front side. The discharge hole facilitates the smooth discharge of seasonings such as scallions. A blocking part 405 is provided on the front side of the mounting plate 5 and in front of the discharge hole. Each mounting plate 5 has a fixing seat 406 fixed on its front side. The top of the fixing seat 406 abuts against the conduit 404.

[0029] It should be further explained that each pull wire 403 passes through the mounting plate 5 and the fixing seat 406 in sequence, each conduit 404 passes through the mounting plate 5, and each blocking part 405 includes a hinge 4051 fixed to the front of the mounting plate 5. The hinge 4051 is a spring hinge, which provides a return spring force when the flap 4052 is closed, while ensuring the closing effect and preventing material leakage. The bottom of the hinge 4051 is hinged to the flap 4052 located directly in front of the discharge hole. Both blocking parts 405 are located inside the discharge cover 6. The front side of each flap 4052 is fixed with a hinge seat, and the inner side of each hinge seat is hinged with a hinge block. The top of each hinge block is fixed to the pull wire 403. When the pull wire 403 is pulled, the pulling force is transmitted to the hinge block through the pull wire 403, which, together with the hinge 4051, smoothly pulls up the flap 4052.

[0030] In this embodiment, a flip cover or other structure can be added to the rear side of the material cylinder 3024 to directly replace the material without removing the material cylinder 3024. The device has a simple structure, is easy to use, can save a lot of space, and has a relatively low cost.

[0031] It is understandable that the material cylinder 3024 penetrates the inner rear wall of the outer shell 2. When it is necessary to add seasonings such as scallions to the material cylinder 3024, it is only necessary to lock the drive motor 305 and rotate the material cylinder 3024. The connecting force of the threaded connection of the material cylinder 3024 is insufficient to overcome the friction between the turntable 3023 and the drive wheel 3022.

[0032] All electrical components mentioned in this article are electrically connected to the controller and power supply. The control method of this utility model is controlled by the controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0034] In operation, the drive motor 305 first drives the drive wheel 3022 to rotate, and the power is transmitted to the turntable 3023 through friction, which in turn drives the material cylinder 3024 to rotate. During the rotation, the scallions inside the moving material cylinder 3024 are lifted up and fall into the collection chamber 304. When the hot dry noodles vending machine controller sends a discharge command, the linear drive element 401 pushes the rod to move the pull plate 402 backward, and the pull line 403 moves accordingly, thereby pulling up the flip plate 4052. When the appropriate amount is added, the linear drive element 401 is turned off, and the hinge 4051 will automatically close, thus completing the function of adding scallions.

[0035] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
