[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] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of an automatic feeding and dispensing structure for weighing food processing, comprising: a base plate 1 serving as a supporting body; a support block 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1; a storage tank 3 fixedly connected to the opposite end of the support block 2; a fixing frame 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank 3; a sliding rod 6 slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing frame 5; a fixing plate 8 fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing frame 5; and a first motor 9 fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 8. The drive end of the first motor 9 passes through the fixing plate 8 and is fixed... A rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft 10. An eccentric wheel 11 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the eccentric wheel 11. A rotating plate 12 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the rotating plate 12. A connecting plate 13 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the rotating plate 1. A weighing component is provided at the top of the base plate 1. The bottom end of the slide rod 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the connecting plate 13. Multiple abutment rods 7 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide rod 6. A feeding port 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the storage tank 3. A discharging port 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the storage tank 3. An electric control valve 15 is provided on the outer wall of the discharging port 14.
[0023] Specifically, in the food processing process, the accurate delivery and weighing of raw materials are crucial. When the operation begins, the operator pours various food raw materials into the storage tank 3 through the feeding port 4. The storage tank 3, as a key component for temporarily storing raw materials, provides a stable material reserve for subsequent delivery. Then, the electric control valve 15 is opened, and under its action, the material in the storage tank 3 is discharged orderly from the discharge port 14. At the same time, the first motor 9 starts to run, and the drive end of the motor rotates at high speed, driving the rotating shaft 10 to rotate synchronously through the transmission structure. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 further drives the eccentric wheel 11 to perform circular motion. During the rotation of the eccentric wheel 11, its special eccentric structure causes the rotating plate 12 to move regularly back and forth. The movement of the rotating plate 12, through a mechanical connection, drives the connecting plate 13 to move together. The connecting plate 13 is connected to the sliding rod 6. When the connecting plate 13 moves, the sliding rod 6 moves accordingly. The end of the sliding rod 6 is connected to the abutment 7. As the sliding rod 6 moves... The moving lever 7 continuously abuts the material inside the storage tank 3 near the discharge port 14. This ingenious mechanical structure works in concert to effectively prevent material from accumulating and clogging at the bottom of the storage tank 3 and at the discharge port 14. This ensures that various food raw materials can pass smoothly through the material distribution structure according to the set process and speed, avoiding material conveying interruptions caused by blockages and effectively guaranteeing the continuity of production. The material discharged from the discharge port 14 falls precisely onto the electronic scale 18 below along a specific material guide path. As the core device for precise measurement, the electronic scale 18 monitors the weight of the material falling on it in real time. When the weight of the material gradually increases and reaches the preset target weight, the sensor inside the electronic scale 18 quickly captures this signal and converts it into an electrical signal output. This signal is transmitted to the control system, which then issues a command to close the electric control valve 15, thereby stopping the discharge of material from the storage tank 3 and completing a precise material weighing process.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The weighing assembly includes support seats 16 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 1. A rotating rod 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support seat 16. An electronic scale 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 17. A protective box 20 is fixedly connected to the right end of the right support seat 16. A second motor 21 is fixedly connected to the front end of the protective box 20. A transmission assembly is provided at the rear end of the second motor 21. Baffles 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the electronic scale 18. The transmission assembly includes a worm 22 located at the drive end of the second motor 21 and a worm wheel 23 located at the right end of the right rotating rod 17. The worm 22 and the worm wheel 23 are meshed together.
[0025] Specifically, in the automatic feeding and dispensing process of food processing, when a feeding operation is required, the second motor 21 starts. After the motor starts running, its drive end rotates at high speed, driving the worm gear 22 connected to it to rotate synchronously. The worm gear 22 meshes with the worm wheel 23. Utilizing the characteristics of the worm gear 22-worm wheel transmission mechanism, the rotation of the worm gear 22 causes the worm wheel 23 to rotate. Since the worm wheel 23 is mounted on the rotating rod 17, the rotation of the worm wheel 23 further drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate. The rotating rod 17 is connected to the electronic scale 18. As the rotating rod 17 rotates, the electronic scale 18 starts to operate. During this process, the material is conveyed onto the electronic scale 18. The electronic scale 18 uses its internal precision sensing elements to monitor the weight of the material in real time and accurately. This automatic feeding and dispensing structure, through a carefully designed combination of mechanical transmission and electronic control, can accurately control the material flow rate and feeding amount. The stable rotation speed and the precision of the worm gear 23 and worm 22 transmission ensure that the material enters the electronic scale 18 at a stable rate. When the electronic scale 18 detects that the material weight has reached the preset value, the control system will provide timely feedback and stop the material conveying by adjusting the motor speed or controlling the feeding valve, thereby completing a precise feeding and weighing process. This precise control avoids the batching errors caused by fatigue, negligence, and other factors that may occur during manual operation, and greatly improves the weighing accuracy of each raw material. In food processing, accurate batching and weighing are crucial to ensuring the stability of product quality such as taste, texture, and nutritional components. For example, in the production of baked goods, the precise ratio of raw materials such as flour, sugar, and oil can ensure that the taste and quality of each batch of products are consistent, meeting consumers' expectations for product quality stability and enhancing the product's market competitiveness.
[0026] Working principle: First, food raw materials are placed into storage tank 3 through feeding port 4. Then, the electric control valve 15 is opened to discharge the material from the discharge port 14. Simultaneously, the first motor 9 is started, causing its drive end to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 10. The rotation of the rotating shaft 10 drives the eccentric wheel 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate 12 to move. The movement of the eccentric wheel 11 drives the connecting plate 13 to move, which in turn drives the sliding rod 6 to move. The movement of the sliding rod 6 drives the abutment 7 to abut the material inside, thus ensuring that various food raw materials can smoothly pass through the guiding and distributing structure according to the set process and speed. To avoid material conveying interruptions due to blockages and ensure production continuity, materials fall onto the electronic scale 18 for weighing. When the weight is reached, the electronic scale 18 sends a signal to close the electric control valve 15. When feeding is required, the second motor 21 is started, and its drive end rotates, driving the worm gear 22 to rotate. When the worm gear 22 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 23 to rotate. When the worm wheel 23 rotates, it drives the rotating rod 17 to rotate. When the rotating rod 17 rotates, it drives the electronic scale 18 to distribute materials of different weights. This allows for precise control of the flow rate and feeding amount of raw materials, reducing feeding errors caused by human factors and ensuring that the weighing of each raw material achieves high accuracy.
