[0028] Please see Figure 1 Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a catering seasoning adding device, including...
[0029] The housing 100 includes an adding mechanism 200, which includes a transmission assembly 210 disposed inside the housing 100. The transmission assembly 210 includes a conveying cylinder 211, inside which a screw conveyor 212 is driven. A storage hopper 215 is connected above the conveying cylinder 211. A crushing and discharging mechanism 220 is connected to the end of the transmission assembly 210. The crushing and discharging mechanism 220 includes crushing blades 227, which are driven and mounted to the end of the screw conveyor 212. The outer end of 211 is connected to a discharge nozzle 223, which is located on the outside of the housing 100. The discharge nozzle 223 is connected to the conveying cylinder 211. Through the integration of the transmission component 210, the crushing and discharging mechanism 220, etc., the "storage-transmission-crushing-discharging" of the seasoning is realized, which simplifies the operation process and adapts to the needs of catering automation. The auger 212 provides stable transmission, and the motor 213 can accurately control the amount of seasoning conveyed. The crushing blade 227 crushes as needed, ensuring that the form of the seasoning is suitable for cooking and improving the accuracy of addition.
[0030] Multiple sets of transmission components 210 and crushing and discharging mechanisms 220 are correspondingly provided inside the protective shell 110, which facilitates the addition of various seasonings.
[0031] Please see Figure 3 Figure 4 The housing 100 includes a protective shell 110, the middle of which is hollow, and a top plate 120 is embedded in the top of the protective shell 110.
[0032] The transmission assembly 210 also includes a motor 213. The output end of the motor 213 is connected to the auger 212. The back of the motor 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 110. The outer end of the conveying cylinder 211 penetrates the protective shell 110, and the outer wall of the conveying cylinder 211 is fixedly connected to the protective shell 110. The motor 213 is a servo motor, which facilitates the control of the rotation speed of the auger 212 for feeding as needed.
[0033] A guide hopper 214 is connected to the top of the conveyor cylinder 211. The top of the guide hopper 214 is connected to the storage hopper 215. The guide hopper 214 is conical. The top of the storage hopper 215 penetrates the top plate 120. A cover plate 216 is provided on the top of the storage hopper 215. A handle 217 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 216. The bottom outer edge of the cover plate 216 is stepped. The step is embedded in the top of the storage hopper 215. The stepped shape facilitates stable insertion and prevents it from falling.
[0034] The crushing and discharging mechanism 220 also includes a connecting ring 225. One end of the connecting ring 225 is threadedly connected to the conveying cylinder 211, and the other end of the connecting ring 225 is threadedly connected to a locking ring 221. The locking ring 221 is internally limited and locked with a guide plate 222. The discharge nozzle 223 is connected to and installed on the guide plate 222. The seasonings are guided by the guide plate 222 and enter the discharge nozzle 223, and are discharged through the discharge nozzle 223. At the same time, the discharge nozzle 223 can be set to different sizes and shapes as needed to facilitate the discharge of different types of seasonings.
[0035] The guide plate 222 is a hollow frustum shape. The discharge nozzle 223 is connected to the small end of the guide plate 222. The other end of the guide plate 222 is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the limit ring 224. The outer side of the limit ring 224 is located on the inner wall of the locking ring 221. The inside of the connecting ring 225 is provided with a step. The outer side of the limit ring 224 is in contact with the step inside the connecting ring 225. A connecting rod 226 is fixedly connected to the end of the auger 212 away from the motor 213. A crushing blade 227 is sleeved on the outer limit of the connecting rod 226. A nut 228 is threaded on the outer side of the connecting rod 226. The nut 228 abuts against the crushing blade 227. The auger 212 connected to the crushing blade 227 has a small conveying capacity to avoid feeding too much material at once, which would make it difficult for the crushing blade 227 to crush the material. Alternatively, a drive rod can be set in the middle of the auger 212, and the crushing blade 227 and the auger 212 can be driven asynchronously to control the rotation speed of the auger 212 and the crushing blade 227 respectively. The outer spiral of the auger 212 is used for conveying. A rod connected to the connecting rod 226 is rotated through the middle of the auger 212. The rod drives the crushing blade 227 to rotate. It can be used with bevel gears, etc. If seasonings that do not need to be crushed are required, the crushing blade 227 can be omitted.
[0036] The outer wall of the locking ring 221 is equally divided with multiple arc-shaped grooves. A control switch 130 is provided on the outside of the protective shell 110. The control switch 130 is electrically connected to the motor 213. The control switch 130 is configured as needed and is controlled in conjunction with a microcontroller.
[0037] Working principle: Storage and feeding: The seasoning is placed in the storage hopper 215, and the cover plate 216 is dustproof. When replenishing the material, it is opened by the handle 217; the seasoning is introduced into the conveyor cylinder 211 through the conical guide hopper 214, and the conical structure is used to assist the smooth feeding.
[0038] Transmission and conveying: When the motor 213 starts, the output end drives the auger 212 to rotate inside the conveying cylinder 211. The auger 212 spirally pushes the seasoning to the end, realizing quantitative and stable conveying.
[0039] Crushing and Discharging: After the seasonings arrive at the end of the conveyor cylinder 211, they are crushed by the crushing blade 227 driven by the connecting rod 226. Crushing is activated when necessary, or the seasonings can be directly conveyed. The crushed or directly crushed seasonings enter the guide plate 222, which guides them through its frustum-shaped structure and accurately discharges them from the discharge nozzle 223 to the cooking area. The connecting ring 225, locking ring 221, etc. ensure that the crushing and discharging mechanism 220 is assembled stably and is easy to disassemble and maintain. The control switch 130 can easily start and stop the motor 213 and regulate the addition process.
[0040] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
