[0002] In the production of some foods, food additives are required to extend the shelf life of the food. However, excessive use of additives can affect our health. Therefore, it is necessary to use additive dosage control structures to quantify the dosage of additives. When the weight of the food is different, the dosage of food additives required will also be different, and the dosage of additives needs to be adjusted.
[0003] Therefore, we propose a dosage control structure for food additives to improve its adaptability. Utility Model Content

Simultaneously, the upper part of another set of material troughs connects to the connecting pipe, and the additive in the connecting pipe fills the upper part of the partition in the other set of material troughs under gravity. This achieves the function of regulating quantitative feeding through the control structure. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0022] This application provides a dosage control structure for food additives, including a storage silo 1. A first motor 2 is mounted at the top of the storage silo 1, and a first rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 2. Two sets of scrapers 4 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first rotating shaft 3. A guide chamber 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage silo 1. A feeding pipe 6 is connected to the top of the storage silo 1, and a sealing cap 7 is screwed onto the top of the feeding pipe 6. A connecting pipe 8 is connected to the bottom of the guide chamber 5, and a metering component is connected to the bottom of the connecting pipe 8. This facilitates opening the sealing cap 7 and adding the additive into the storage silo 1 through the feeding pipe 6. Under the action of gravity, the additive enters the guide chamber 5 and the feeding pipe 6. When the additive is added, the sealing cap 7 is closed, and the first motor 2 is activated, driving the first rotating shaft 3 and the two sets of scrapers 4 to rotate, pushing the additive in the storage silo 1 into the guide chamber 5 and the feeding pipe 6. With the metering component, the metered feeding of the controlled structure is achieved.
[0023] Furthermore, the quantitative component mainly includes a fixed sleeve 9, a movable disc 10 nested within the inner wall of the fixed sleeve 9, a second rotating shaft 11 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable disc 10, a second motor 12 fixedly connected to the end of the second rotating shaft 11, a material trough 13 formed on the outer wall of the movable disc 10, a partition 14 nested within the inner wall of the material trough 13, a sliding groove 15 formed at the contact point between the material trough 13 and the partition 14, a sealing plate 16 attached to the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 9, two sets of first connecting plates 17 fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the sealing plate 16, a rubber gasket 18 attached to the outer wall of the first connecting plate 17, a second connecting plate 19 attached to the side of the rubber gasket 18 away from the first connecting plate 17, and a fixing bolt 20 threadedly connected to the contact point of the first connecting plate 17, the rubber gasket 18, and the second connecting plate 19, and a discharge pipe 21 connected to the bottom end of the fixed sleeve 9, facilitating the rotation of the two sets of fixing bolts 20. Separating from the two sets of first connecting plates 17, two sets of rubber gaskets 18, and two sets of second connecting plates 19, the two sets of partition plates 14 are embedded into the corresponding two sets of sliding grooves 15. The space of the upper part of the partition plates 14 in the two sets of material troughs 13 is adjusted. With the fixed sleeve 9 and the sealing plate 16 tightly attached, when the material trough 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 8, the additive in the connecting pipe 8 fills the space of the upper part of the partition plates 14 in the material trough 13 under the action of gravity, causing the second motor 12 to work and drive the second rotating shaft 11 and the movable disk 10 to rotate. When the material trough 13 is connected to the discharge pipe 21, the additive is discharged through the discharge pipe 21 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the space of the upper part of the partition plates 14 in the other set of material troughs 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 8. The additive in the connecting pipe 8 fills the space of the upper part of the partition plates 14 in the other set of material troughs 13 under the action of gravity, so that the control structure has the function of adjusting the quantitative feeding.
[0024] Furthermore, the end of the scraper 4 away from the first rotating shaft 3 is attached to the inner wall of the storage bin 1, and the bottom end of the scraper 4 is attached to the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1, which is conducive to the movement of the first motor 2, driving the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. At the same time, the two sets of scrapers 4 move along the inner wall of the storage bin 1 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the storage bin 1, pushing the material into the guide bin 5.
[0025] Furthermore, the inner wall of the guide chamber 5 is inclined, which facilitates the sliding of the additives in the storage chamber 1 and the guide chamber 5 into the feeding pipe 6 under the action of gravity.
[0026] Furthermore, the bottom end of the connecting pipe 8 is connected to the fixed sleeve 9, which facilitates the additive in the connecting pipe 8 to enter the material trough 13 opened on the outer wall of the movable plate 10 through the fixed sleeve 9, making subsequent material feeding convenient.
[0027] Furthermore, the material troughs 13 are configured in two sets, with the two sets of material troughs 13 symmetrically arranged about the movable plate 10, which is beneficial.
[0028] Furthermore, the chute 15 is provided in three sets, and the three sets of chute 15 are equally spaced about the material trough 13. This is beneficial for the partition 14 to be embedded in different chute 15, thereby changing the space between the material trough 13 and the connecting pipe 8 and the discharge pipe 21, and realizing the adjustment of the dosage during material feeding.
[0029] Furthermore, the two sets of second connecting plates 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed sleeve 9, which facilitates the threaded connection of the two sets of first connecting plates 17, the two sets of rubber gaskets 18 and the two sets of second connecting plates 19 to the two sets of fixing bolts 20, making it easy to disassemble the sealing plate 16, conveniently adjust the position of the two sets of partitions 14, and clean the inside of the movable plate 10.
[0030] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0031] Working principle: Open the sealing cover 7 and add the additive into the storage bin 1 through the feeding pipe 6. Under the action of gravity, the additive enters the guide bin 5 and the feeding pipe 6. When the additive is added, close the sealing cover 7 and make the first motor 2 work, driving the first rotating shaft 3 and the two sets of scrapers 4 to rotate, pushing the additive in the storage bin 1 into the guide bin 5 and the feeding pipe 6.
[0032] Rotate the two sets of fixing bolts 20 to separate them from the two sets of first connecting plates 17, the two sets of rubber washers 18 and the two sets of second connecting plates 19, and embed the two sets of partitions 14 into the corresponding two sets of sliding grooves 15 to adjust the space of the upper part of the two sets of partitions 14 in the two sets of material tanks 13.
[0033] Rotate the two sets of fixing bolts 20 to make the fixing sleeve 9 and the sealing plate 16 fit tightly. When the material tank 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 8, the additive in the connecting pipe 8 fills the space above the partition 14 inside the material tank 13 under the action of gravity, causing the second motor 12 to work and drive the second rotating shaft 11 and the movable disk 10 to rotate. When the material tank 13 is connected to the discharge pipe 21, the additive is discharged through the discharge pipe 21 under the action of gravity. At the same time, the space above the partition 14 inside the other set of material tank 13 is connected to the connecting pipe 8. The additive in the connecting pipe 8 fills the space above the partition 14 inside the other set of material tank 13 under the action of gravity, realizing the quantitative feeding of the control structure.
