Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a seasoning extrusion and discharge mechanism, including a seasoning container 1 and an extrusion assembly 2. The seasoning container 1 includes a groove 13 and a sealing member 14. One end of the groove 13 is provided with a discharge port 12. A cavity 11 for accommodating the seasoning is formed between the discharge port 12 and the sealing member 14. The extrusion assembly 2 includes a mounting frame 21 and a driving member 22 disposed on the mounting frame 21. A first sensing member 20 is disposed on the mounting frame 21. The output shaft of the driving member 22 is connected to an extrusion member 23 and is used to drive the extrusion member 23 to extrude the sealing member 14 to compress the cavity 11, so that the seasoning in the cavity 11 is discharged through the discharge port 12. One end of the extrusion member 23 is provided with a first sensing member 201 for distance sensing cooperation with the first sensing member 20.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the driving component 22 is a motor, and the driving component 22 is equipped with a speed measuring component 211 for detecting the output shaft speed. The output shaft of the motor is connected to a screw 221, and the screw 221 is threadedly connected to the top of the extruder 23. The mounting bracket 21 is provided with a guide rod 212 that slides with the extruder 23. The extruder 23 includes a working part 231 and a driving part 232. The driving part 232 is disposed on one side of the working part 231. The driving part 232 is provided with a screw hole 233 and a guide hole 234. The screw hole 233 is threadedly connected to the screw 221, and the guide hole 234 is slidably connected to the guide rod 212. The end of the working part 231 away from the driving part 232 is used to extrude the seasoning container 1. The driving unit 232 is disposed at one end of the working unit 231 near the first sensing element 20, and the second sensing element 201 is mounted on the driving unit 232. The first sensing element 20 and the second sensing element 201 are Hall sensors or magnets. When the first sensing element 20 is a Hall sensor, the second sensing element 201 is a magnet, and vice versa.Specifically, the screw 221 is driven by a motor to rotate and engage with the screw hole 233 on the drive part 232 of the extruder 23. This causes the guide hole 234 on the drive part 232 of the extruder 23 to slide on the guide rod 212, thereby moving the extruder 23 as a whole towards or away from the condiment container 1. This structure allows for precise control of the stroke length of the extruder 23, resulting in more accurate quantitative control of the condiment extrusion. After extrusion, the motor drives the extruder 23 away from the condiment container 1 until the second sensor 201 on the extruder 23 senses the distance from the first sensor 20. It is worth noting that the first sensor 20 can be a Hall sensor, and the second sensor 201 can be a magnet. The two are controlled to stop the drive part 22 through magnetic induction, and the computer controls the distance the drive part 22 drives the extruder 23 to move. Alternatively, the first sensor 20 can be a magnet, in which case the second sensor 201 is a Hall sensor, or the first sensor... 20 is an infrared sensor, and the second sensing element 201 is a reflector that works in conjunction with the infrared sensor to achieve a distance sensing effect. When the driving element 22 is a cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, when the seasoning container 1 is fully loaded, the end of the extruder 23 is in contact with the seasoning container 1, and the distance recorded by the computer is 0. At this time, the driving element 22 drives the extruder 23 to extrude the seasoning container 1. The computer pushes the extruder 23 into the seasoning container 1 by a distance n, and increases the distance n by a distance each time the seasoning container 1 is extruded, thereby achieving a quantitative effect. When the driving element 22 is a motor, the recording object of the computer can be changed from the moving length distance to the number of rotations of the screw 221. Since the screw-driven movement has higher precision, a more accurate quantitative effect can be achieved. Furthermore, when the driving element 22 is a motor, a speed measuring element 211 can be set for the motor to detect the motor speed and feed the value back to the computer. The computer controls the motor speed, thereby controlling the extrusion speed of the seasoning.

[0030] Based on this, such as Figure 6 As shown, the working part 231 has a hollow structure. Specifically, the motor drives the screw 221 to rotate, causing the extruder 23 to slide on the guide rod 212. By setting the working part 231 to a hollow structure, the weight of the extruder 23 can be reduced, and the wear of the motor when the screw 221 drives the screw and the screw hole 233 on the drive part 232 of the extruder 23 can be threaded together can be reduced.

[0031] Based on this, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, one end of the mounting bracket 21 has a sliding hole 213, and the working part 231 slides within the sliding hole 213. Specifically, when the driving member 22 drives the extruder 23 to move towards the seasoning container 1, it needs to pass through the sliding hole 213. This can be prevented by the seasoning container 1 at the bottom of the mounting bracket 21 and the screw 221 blocking the flow and avoiding contamination.

[0032] Based on this, such as Figure 7 As shown, the seasoning container 1 includes a groove 13 and a sealing member 14. A cavity 11 is formed between the groove 13 and the sealing member 14. The groove 13 opens to one end and slides in a sealing fit with the sealing member 14. The discharge port 12 is located at the other end of the groove 13 away from the opening. The sealing member 14 is in a pressing fit with the extruder 23. The sealing member 14 has an extrusion block 141 that contacts and presses against the extruder 23, and it also slides in a sealing fit within the groove 13. An annular groove 142 is provided around the extrusion block 141 in the sealing member 14. Specifically, the sealing element 14 acts as a piston, and the driving element 22 drives the extruder 23, so that the working part 231 of the extruder 23 extrudes the extrusion block 141 of the sealing element 14, so that the sealing element 14 slides in a sealing manner on the inner wall of the groove 13, and the seasoning is discharged through the discharge port 12. At the same time, by setting an annular groove 142 around the extrusion block 141, when the sealing element 14 reaches the bottom of the groove 13, the sealing element 14 can be lifted by grabbing the extrusion block 141, and then new seasoning can be injected to achieve recycling.

[0033] Based on this, such as Figure 7 As shown, the discharge port 12 has a funnel-shaped structure, with one end of the discharge port 12 extending away from the end of the groove 13. Specifically, the funnel-shaped discharge port 12 allows for more complete discharge of the seasonings in the groove 13, reducing the amount of residual material remaining when the seal 14 reaches the bottom of the groove 13, thus reducing waste.

[0034] The following is a detailed explanation of the working principle of this utility model;

[0035] In use, the seasoning is loaded into the seasoning container 1 and brought into contact with the extruder 23. The extruder 23 is driven by the drive unit 22 to extrude the seasoning container 1, deforming it and reducing the space inside the cavity 11. The seasoning in the cavity 11 is then discharged through the outlet 12. When the extruder 23 is driven by the drive unit 22 to extrude the seasoning container 1, the second sensor 201 separates from the first sensor 20 and stops sensing. After discharge, the extruder 23 is driven away from the seasoning container 1 by the drive unit 22. Finally, the second sensor 201 on the extruder 23 senses the distance from the first sensor 20, causing the drive unit 22 to stop operating. During this process, the computer calculates the distance between the seasoning container 1 and the first sensor 20. In the next extrusion of the seasoning container 1, the drive unit 22 drives the extruder 23 to increase the extrusion distance of the seasoning container 1 by a certain amount, so that the amount of seasoning squeezed out of the seasoning container 1 each time is relatively fixed, achieving a quantitative effect.
