Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking machine technology, and in particular to a safety protection device for a tipping bucket 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] Tipping bucket feeders are a common type of food dispensing device widely used in various cooking machines. Their basic principle is to dispensing food from a storage container into the cooking pot through a tipping motion. However, tipping bucket feeders have some problems in actual use. For example, the rotating component of the feeder needs to rotate, and the dispensing arm needs to drive the bucket to tip, which can easily cause hair and clothing to get caught in the feeder during the tipping and rotation process, creating a safety hazard.

[0009] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: during cleaning, only the tray needs to be removed for cleaning, and the overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0010] Furthermore, the edge of the tray protrudes upwards.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the edge of the tray can play a role in side protection, preventing the user's clothes, hair, etc. from getting caught in the side wall.

[0012] Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​groove is provided laterally on the mounting flange; a snap-fit ​​block corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove is provided on the feeding cover, which is used to rotate into the snap-fit ​​groove to realize the snap-fit ​​between the mounting flange and the feeding cover; a contact rod for recognizing the entry of the snap-fit ​​block is also provided in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0013] The advantages of adopting the above-mentioned further solution are: it can identify whether the feeding cover is installed; if the feeding cover is not identified, the rotating component and feeding arm will not start; the overall structure is simple.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting flange is provided with a notch, and the feeding arm is disposed at the notch.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is that the overall structure is simple and reasonable.

[0016] Furthermore, the feeding cover is provided with a clearance compartment for avoiding the feeding arm.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it reduces the height of the material feeding cover body.

[0018] Furthermore, the avoidance chamber is equipped with a steam outlet.

[0019] 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.

[0020] 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.

[0021] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solutions is that the overall structure is simple and reasonable. Attached Figure Description
