Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking machine technology, and in particular to an easy-to-clean tipping feeder. Background Technology

[0002] With advancements in technology and improvements in living standards, cooking machines have become an indispensable part of modern kitchens. The increasing automation and intelligence of cooking machines make the cooking process more convenient and efficient. Among the various components of a cooking machine, the feeder plays a crucial role, responsible for accurately dispensing ingredients into the cooking area as needed.

[0003] The tipping bucket feeder, a common feeding device, is widely used in various cooking machines. Its basic principle is to use a tipping motion to feed food from a storage container into the cooking pot. However, in actual use, tipping bucket feeders have some problems. For example, during the tipping process, food in the hopper is prone to spilling out, and if food falls onto the feeder, cleaning is inconvenient due to the electrical components inside. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address this issue, we propose an easy-to-clean tipping feeder.

[0005] This utility model provides an easy-to-clean tipping feeder, including a base, a feeding arm rotatably connected to the base, a rotating assembly that moves on the base, and multiple hoppers; when the rotating assembly moves, the hoppers pass the positions corresponding to the feeding arm, at which time the feeding arm is connected to the hoppers through a temporary connection structure and tipping over to realize feeding; the base has a feeding hole, and the rotating assembly is used to rotate around the feeding hole; the rotating assembly includes a bracket rotatably connected to the base and a tray detachably connected to the bracket, and the hoppers are detachably connected to the tray.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: during cleaning, only the tray and hopper need to be cleaned, and they can be placed in a dishwasher for cleaning.

[0007] Furthermore, the edge of the tray protrudes upwards.

[0008] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: preventing spilled food from spilling out of the edge of the tray and isolating the hopper from the outside of the tray, thus avoiding safety hazards caused by the rotating component getting caught in the user's hair or clothing.

[0009] Furthermore, an upwardly protruding mounting flange is provided at the edge of the feeding hole; a feeding cover is detachably connected to the mounting flange, the feeding cover being used to cover the hopper on the tray.

[0010] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: the feeding cover does not need to be rotated, making it convenient to use and safer.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting flange is provided with a notch, and the feeding arm is disposed at the notch.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is that the overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0013] Furthermore, the feeding cover is provided with a clearance compartment for avoiding the feeding arm.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it reduces the height of the material feeding cover body.

[0015] Furthermore, the avoidance chamber is equipped with a steam outlet.

[0016] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: it is used for steam discharge during cooking, and the steam outlet is located on the clearance chamber, which is in a higher position than the main body of the feeding cover, making it safer, and the structure is simple and reasonable.

[0017] Furthermore, a handle is provided, one end of which is connected to the clearance chamber and the other end is connected to the feeding cover body.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is that the overall structure is simple and reasonable. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment discloses an easy-to-clean tipping feeder, including a base 1, a feeding arm 4 rotatably connected to the base 1, a rotating assembly 2 moving on the base 1, and multiple hoppers 3. When the rotating assembly 2 moves, the hoppers 3 pass the positions corresponding to the feeding arm 4. At this time, the feeding arm 4 is connected to the hopper 3 through a temporary connection structure 3-4 and tipping over to achieve feeding. The base 1 has a feeding hole 7, and the rotating assembly 2 is used to rotate around the feeding hole 7. The rotating assembly 2 includes a bracket 21 rotatably connected to the base 1 and a tray 22 detachably connected to the bracket 21. The hoppers 3 are detachably connected to the tray 22. For cleaning, only the tray 22 and the hoppers 3 need to be cleaned; they can be placed in a dishwasher for cleaning.

[0027] The edge of the tray 22 protrudes upwards. This prevents spilled food from spilling out from the edge of the tray 22 and isolates the hopper 3 from the outside of the tray 22, thus avoiding safety hazards caused by the rotating component 2 getting caught in the user's hair or clothing when it rotates.

[0028] The feeding hole 7 has an upwardly protruding mounting flange 131 at its edge; a feeding cover 6 is detachably connected to the mounting flange 131, which is used to cover the hopper 3 on the tray 22. The feeding cover 6 does not need to be rotated, making it convenient to use and safer.

[0029] The mounting flange 131 is provided with a notch 1311, and the feeding arm 4 is located at the notch 1311. The overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0030] The feeding cover 6 is provided with a clearance chamber 61 for avoiding the feeding arm 4. This reduces the height of the main body of the feeding cover 6.

[0031] The clearance chamber 61 is provided with a steam outlet 62. It is used for steam discharge during cooking. The steam outlet 62 is located on the clearance chamber 61, at a higher position than the main body of the feeding cover 6, which makes it safer and has a simple and reasonable structure.

[0032] It is also equipped with a handle 63, one end of which is connected to the clearance chamber 61, and the other end is connected to the feeding cover 6 body. The overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0033] 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, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
