Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic processing technology in the catering industry, and more specifically, to an automatic seasoning adding device. Background Technology

[0002] An automatic cooking machine is a smart kitchen appliance that can simulate the human cooking process and automatically complete operations such as stir-frying, heating and seasoning of ingredients. It is usually equipped with built-in programs that support a variety of recipes and cooking modes. Users only need to put the ingredients and seasonings into the machine and select the corresponding program to complete the cooking automatically.

[0003] In automatic cooking machines, the addition of seasonings is a crucial step that affects the taste of the dishes. Traditional automatic cooking machines usually require users to add seasonings manually, which not only increases the number of steps but may also lead to inaccurate seasoning ratios. Automatic seasoning adding equipment can accurately add the appropriate amount of seasonings during the cooking process according to a preset program, ensuring that the taste of each dish is consistent and meets expectations.

[0004] Because powdered seasonings (salt, sugar, starch, etc.) easily absorb moisture from the air and form lumps, the current equipment is prone to clogging when adding seasonings. Furthermore, when the seasonings clump together, the clumps fall onto the weighing scale all at once, making it difficult to accurately measure the amount of seasonings added. Therefore, improvements and optimizations are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an automatic seasoning adding device with the advantages of precise metering and anti-clogging.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic seasoning adding device, comprising a conveying pipe, a control panel and a support, wherein the support is located on the left and right sides of the conveying pipe, a storage tank is fixedly installed on the top of the support, a metering bin is fixedly installed on the bottom of the storage tank, a feeding bin is fixedly installed on the bottom of the metering bin, and the feeding bin and the conveying pipe are interconnected.

[0007] A metering scale is rotatably mounted inside the metering chamber. A telescopic groove is provided at the top of the metering chamber, and a movable partition is movably mounted inside the telescopic groove. A fixed partition is fixedly mounted inside the metering chamber, located at the bottom of the movable partition. A shell is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the metering chamber. One end of the movable partition is elastically connected to the telescopic groove via a first spring, and the other end of the movable partition extends into the interior of the shell. A drive shaft is rotatably mounted inside the shell, with one end of the drive shaft abutting against the movable partition. A first motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the shell, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a feeding pipe is provided on the front side of the conveying pipe, and a feeding head is provided at the front end of the feeding pipe;

[0009] The outer wall of the feeding tube is provided with a movable groove, and the outer wall of the feeding head is provided with a fixed groove corresponding to the position of the movable groove. A wedge is movably installed inside the movable groove. One end of the wedge is elastically connected to the inner wall of the movable groove by a second spring, and the other end of the wedge extends into the interior of the fixed groove.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, an auger is rotatably installed inside the conveying pipe, and a second motor is fixedly installed on the rear side of the conveying pipe, with the output shaft of the second motor fixedly connected to the auger.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first fixing plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the quantitative chamber, and one end of the first fixing plate is rotatably connected to the cylinder.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a second fixing plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the quantitative scale, and the second fixing plate and the telescopic end of the cylinder are hinged to each other.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this utility model provides an automatic seasoning adding device, including a conveying pipe 1, a control panel 2 and a bracket 3. The bracket 3 is located on the left and right sides of the conveying pipe 1. A storage tank 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket 3. A metering bin 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the storage tank 4. A feeding bin 6 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the metering bin 5. The feeding bin 6 and the conveying pipe 1 are interconnected.

[0027] A metering scale 9 is rotatably installed inside the metering chamber 5. A telescopic groove 14 is provided on the top of the metering chamber 5. A movable partition 12 is movably installed inside the telescopic groove 14. A fixed partition 11 is fixedly installed inside the metering chamber 5. The fixed partition 11 is located at the bottom of the movable partition 12. A shell 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the metering chamber 5. One end of the movable partition 12 is elastically connected to the telescopic groove 14 by a first spring 15. The other end of the movable partition 12 extends into the interior of the shell 16. A drive shaft 17 is rotatably installed inside the shell 16. One end of the drive shaft 17 abuts against the movable partition 12. A first motor 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shell 16. The output shaft of the first motor 18 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 17.

[0028] After the device is installed and put into use, the staff first fills the storage tank 4 with a sufficient amount of seasoning. At this time, because the feeding troughs 13 on the fixed partition 11 and the movable partition 12 are staggered, the seasoning will not fall into the quantitative bin 5. When the automatic cooking machine is cooking and seasoning needs to be added, the control panel 2 will control the operation of the first motor 18 and the second motor 20. The operation of the first motor 18 will drive the drive shaft 17 to rotate. When the drive shaft 17 rotates, due to the special shape of the drive shaft 17... The rotation of the drive shaft 17 will push the movable partition 12 toward the inside of the telescopic groove 14. When the movable partition 12 is pushed to its maximum value, the two sets of feeding grooves 13 will align with each other, and the seasoning will fall into the top of the weighing scale 9 through the feeding grooves 13. After the drive shaft 17 rotates once, the movable partition 12 will always be in contact with the drive shaft 17 through the elastic potential energy of the first spring 15. As the drive shaft 17 continues to rotate, the movable partition 12 will shake continuously, further breaking up the clumps of seasoning.

[0029] After the seasoning falls onto the top of the weighing scale 9, the weighing scale 9 will weigh the seasoning. When the weight is appropriate, the control panel 2 will stop the first motor 18 and start the cylinder 8, causing the telescopic end of the cylinder 8 to shorten. The weighing scale 9 will then tilt downwards, causing the weighed seasoning to fall into the feeding bin 6 and finally into the inside of the conveying pipe 1. The operation of the second motor 20 will drive the auger 19 to rotate. The rotation of the auger 19 will transport the seasoning towards the feeding pipe 21, and finally add it by the feeding head 22.

[0030] The operation of the first motor 18 causes the drive shaft 17 to continuously push the moving partition 12 along the telescopic groove 14 as it rotates. Whenever the moving partition 12 is pushed to its maximum value, the two sets of feeding troughs 13 align with each other, and the seasonings fall onto the quantitative weighing scale 9 to achieve the weighing of the seasonings. Finally, the addition of the seasonings is completed by the rotation of the auger 19. Compared with traditional devices, this device can effectively prevent the seasonings from clogging and clumping by shaking the moving partition 12. The weighing by the quantitative weighing scale 9 ensures the accuracy of the seasoning addition and guarantees the deliciousness of the dish.

[0031] Among them, a feeding pipe 21 is provided on the front side of the conveying pipe 1, and a feeding head 22 is provided at the front end of the feeding pipe 21;

[0032] The outer wall of the feeding pipe 21 is provided with a movable groove 23, and the outer wall of the feeding head 22 is provided with a fixed groove 24 corresponding to the position of the movable groove 23. An inclined wedge 25 is movably installed inside the movable groove 23. One end of the inclined wedge 25 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the movable groove 23 by a second spring 26, and the other end of the inclined wedge 25 penetrates into the interior of the fixed groove 24.

[0033] In actual use, cooking fumes will adhere to the equipment. The design of the feeding head 22 can protect the feeding tube 21. When grease accumulates on the feeding head 22, the operator presses the wedge 25, which moves downward into the movable groove 23 and the second spring 26 is compressed. At this time, the feeding head 22, which is no longer fixed by the wedge 25, can be removed. After cleaning, the operator resets the feeding head 22. When resetting, due to the inclined surface design of the wedge 25, the wedge 25 is pushed into the movable groove 23 by the inner wall of the feeding head 22. When the feeding head 22 is fully reset, the wedge 25 will be reset into the fixed groove 24 by the elastic potential energy of the second spring 26, thus completing the fixation of the feeding head 22.

[0034] By using the feeding tube 21, seasonings are added through the feeding head 22. The wedge 25 is pressed down and moves into the interior of the movable groove 23. At this point, the feeding head 22, no longer secured by the wedge 25, can be removed. Compared to traditional devices, this device, with its detachable feeding head 22, avoids clogging of the feeding head 22 after prolonged use, ensuring that seasonings can be added smoothly and reducing the cleaning burden.

[0035] The conveying pipe 1 has an auger 19 rotatably mounted inside it, and a second motor 20 is fixedly mounted on the rear side of the conveying pipe 1. The output shaft of the second motor 20 is fixedly connected to the auger 19.

[0036] The operation of the second motor 20 will drive the auger 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the auger 19 will transport the seasoning towards the feeding tube 21, which will then be added by the feeding head 22.

[0037] The inner wall of the quantitative chamber 5 is fixedly installed with a first fixing plate 7, and one end of the first fixing plate 7 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 8.

[0038] The bottom of the weighing scale 9 is fixedly equipped with a second fixing plate 10, and the second fixing plate 10 and the telescopic end of the cylinder 8 are hinged to each other.

[0039] When the weight is appropriate, the control panel 2 will stop the first motor 18 and start the cylinder 8, causing the telescopic end of the cylinder 8 to shorten. The further weighing scale 9 will tilt downwards, causing the weighed seasoning to fall into the feeding bin 6.

[0040] The surfaces of both the fixed partition 11 and the movable partition 12 are provided with feeding grooves 13, and the two sets of movable partitions 12 are arranged alternately.

[0041] Because the feeding troughs 13 on the fixed partition 11 and the movable partition 12 are staggered, the seasoning will not fall into the interior of the metering chamber 5. When the movable partition 12 is pushed to its maximum value, the two sets of feeding troughs 13 are aligned with each other, and the seasoning will fall into the top of the metering scale 9 through the feeding troughs 13.

[0042] The control panel 2 is used to control the operation of the cylinder 8, the first motor 18, and the second motor 20, while the weighing scale 9 is used to weigh the seasonings.

[0043] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0044] After the device is installed and put into use, the staff first fills the storage tank 4 with a sufficient amount of seasoning. At this time, because the feeding troughs 13 on the fixed partition 11 and the movable partition 12 are staggered, the seasoning will not fall into the quantitative bin 5. When the automatic cooking machine is cooking and seasoning needs to be added, the control panel 2 will control the operation of the first motor 18 and the second motor 20. The operation of the first motor 18 will drive the drive shaft 17 to rotate. When the drive shaft 17 rotates, due to the special shape of the drive shaft 17... The rotation of the drive shaft 17 will push the movable partition 12 toward the inside of the telescopic groove 14. When the movable partition 12 is pushed to its maximum value, the two sets of feeding grooves 13 will align with each other, and the seasoning will fall into the top of the weighing scale 9 through the feeding grooves 13. After the drive shaft 17 rotates once, the movable partition 12 will always be in contact with the drive shaft 17 through the elastic potential energy of the first spring 15. As the drive shaft 17 continues to rotate, the movable partition 12 will shake continuously, further breaking up the clumps of seasoning.

[0045] After the seasoning falls onto the top of the weighing scale 9, the weighing scale 9 will weigh the seasoning. When the weight is appropriate, the control panel 2 will stop the first motor 18 and start the cylinder 8, causing the telescopic end of the cylinder 8 to shorten. The weighing scale 9 will then tilt downwards, causing the weighed seasoning to fall into the feeding bin 6 and finally into the inside of the conveying pipe 1. The operation of the second motor 20 will drive the auger 19 to rotate. The rotation of the auger 19 will transport the seasoning towards the feeding pipe 21, and finally add it by the feeding head 22.
