[0002] Compared to liquid beverages, solid beverages have advantages such as small volume, convenient drinking, simple packaging, convenient transportation, and easy hygiene maintenance, which makes them popular among some people. Solid beverage processing requires multiple steps, one of which is weighing the powder. Due to cost control needs, a device that can automatically weigh the powder is required.
[0003] Meanwhile, application number CN202022369346.2 discloses an automatic powder weighing device for solid beverage processing, including an electronic scale. Bases are connected to both sides of the electronic scale, and a connecting frame is connected to the middle of the front end of the scale. A support column is connected to the upper end of the bases, and a support frame is connected to the upper end of the support column near the electronic scale. The electronic scale of this invention has a circular groove at its upper end, into which a weighing cup is placed. Powder from the storage tank flows out through a powder outlet pipe into the weighing cup. The scale reading is observed. When the powder in the weighing cup reaches a specified amount, a cylinder is activated, extending a telescopic rod to push a plug head to block the powder outlet pipe, stopping the powder flow. This allows for the rapid determination of the required powder quantity for beverage production. The plug head pushes a baffle to compress a spring, reducing wear. As the powder flows out of the powder outlet pipe, it is blocked by the baffle and the plug head, preventing powder from entering the switching tube and avoiding waste.
[0004] However, the following problems were found in the implementation of the relevant technology: Although the existing device can automatically weigh the powder, the container containing the weighed powder needs to be manually removed before the next weighing, which is not efficient enough. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides an automatic powder weighing device for solid beverage processing. After the current weighing cup completes the weighing, it is moved away by the support plate, and the next weighing cup will move synchronously to the bottom of the discharge pipe to start weighing again, which has the advantage of higher weighing efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic powder weighing device for solid beverage processing, comprising a processing table and a weighing assembly mounted on top of the processing table.

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model provides an automatic powder weighing device for solid beverage processing, including a processing table 1 and a weighing assembly mounted on the top of the processing table 1. The weighing assembly includes a rotating rod 2 mounted on the top of the processing table 1 via bearings and a support plate 3 fixedly sleeved on the upper part of the rotating rod 2. The support plate 3 can rotate relative to the processing table 1 via the rotating rod 2. The top of the support plate 3 has multiple slots 4 arranged in a ring. A weighing cup 5 is inserted into the inner side of the slot 4, and a support ring 6 fixedly sleeved on the top of the weighing cup 5 and supported on the top of the support plate 3. The support ring 6 can ensure that the weighing cup 5 can be stably inserted into the inner side of the slot 4. The top of the processing table 1 is connected to a motor. A servo motor 7 is mounted on the base, and a gear pair 8 is installed between the output end of the servo motor 7 and the corresponding side of the rotating rod 2. The servo motor 7 can drive the rotating rod 2 to rotate at a specified angle through the gear pair 8, thereby driving the support plate 3 to rotate at a specified angle. A mounting groove is constructed on the other side of the top of the processing table 1. A cylinder 9 is installed inside the mounting groove. The output end of the cylinder 9 is connected to a support plate 10 located below the weighing cup 5 by bolts. The output end of the cylinder 9 can drive the support plate 10 to lift. The support plate 10 can lift the weighing cup 5. A thin film pressure sensor 11 is nested on the top of the support plate 10, and the weight of the weighing cup 5 can be measured using existing principles.
[0024] Specifically, an installation plate 13 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the processing table 1 by multiple rivets. A material box 14 is installed on the top side of the installation plate 13 by multiple bolts. A discharge pipe with a solenoid valve is inserted into the bottom of the material box 14 and located above the support plate 10. The material box 14 contains powder of solid beverage. The powder is discharged through the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe can be closed in time by the solenoid valve.
[0025] Furthermore, a lid 15 is hinged to the top of the material box 14. Powder can be added into the material box 14 by opening the lid 15. A latch is installed between the lid 15 and the corresponding side of the material box 14. The lid 15 can be opened by opening the latch.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the support ring 6 is symmetrically connected with two handles 12 by screws. The handles 12 are used to lift the support ring 6 easily by applying force, and the corners of the handles 12 are rounded to improve the tactile feel.
[0027] It is worth noting that a storage cavity is constructed on one side of the processing table 1, through which the weighing cup 5 can be temporarily stored. Two baffles 16 are symmetrically hinged on one side of the storage cavity. Closing the baffles 16 can prevent dust from entering the storage cavity.
[0028] It is worth noting that latches are installed on the corresponding sides of the two baffles 16, and a handle 17 is connected to the side of the baffle 16 away from the storage box by screws, so that the baffle 16 can be opened or closed easily by using the handle 17.
[0029] It is worth mentioning that the side wall of cylinder 9 is fixedly fitted with a mounting base, and the mounting base is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove by multiple screws, which increases the stability of cylinder 9 during operation.
[0030] Among them, the servo motor 7, cylinder 9, thin-film pressure sensor 1, and solenoid valve are existing technologies and will not be described in detail; at the same time, this utility model also includes a power supply, controller, and switch, etc., which are not the main technical points of this patent and will not be described in detail; the "front, back, left, and right" perspectives of this device are as follows: Figure 1 The direction shown in the diagram is the reference.
[0031] Working principle: The cylinder controls the support plate 10 to lift the weighing cup 5 above, so that the support ring 6 at the top of the weighing cup 5 is no longer supported by the support plate 3. At this time, the membrane pressure sensor 11 can measure the weight of the weighing cup 5 using the existing principle. The powder of solid beverage stored in the material box 14 is continuously discharged to the weighing cup 5 below through the discharge pipe. When the membrane pressure sensor 11 measures the weight as required, the discharge pipe is closed in time by the solenoid valve. Then, the support plate 10 is controlled to reset so that the weighing cup 5 is reset. Then, the servo motor 7 drives the support plate 3 to rotate to the specified angle so that the next weighing cup 5 moves below the discharge pipe. At this time, the current weighing cup 5 can be lifted and taken out by the handle 12. Repeat the above steps to continuously weigh.
