Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food preparation technology, and in particular to a food preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is caused by a deficiency in insulin secretion or impaired biological action, or both. Long-term hyperglycemia in diabetes leads to chronic damage and dysfunction of various tissues, especially the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, and nerves. Diabetic patients need to be selective in their daily diet and should eat more foods that help alleviate diabetes. To make their daily diet more reasonable, diabetic patients usually make reasonable adjustments to their diet to ensure that each nutrient element is ingested in the prescribed amount.

[0003] A search revealed a diabetic patient diet preparation device (publication number CN221156464U), comprising a housing with a limiting frame fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing. The housing contains a stirring mechanism. During use, an upper and lower air pump blows gas into the hoppers via hoses, increasing the pressure and squeezing the material downwards, causing a return spring to release the material and allowing it to flow out. Multiple hoppers can discharge the material separately, achieving personalized adjustments. However, the device has the following drawbacks: while it increases the pressure inside the hoppers by using air pumps to discharge the material, the material adheres to the inner wall of the hopper during discharge and solidifies over time, making cleaning difficult and increasing the workload for workers. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a food preparation device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A food preparation device includes a box and a cap. The cap is snapped onto the top of the box. A door panel is hinged to one side of the box. A locking mechanism is provided between the box and the cap. A partition is integrally formed inside the box. Multiple equally spaced mounting holes are opened on the upper surface of the partition. A material hopper is fixedly connected to the mounting holes. A discharge port is opened at the bottom of the material hopper. A material box is placed inside the box. A cavity is opened at the bottom of the box. A stirring mechanism for stirring the material in the material box is provided in the cavity. Guide racks are fixedly connected to both inner walls of the box.

[0007] Each of the multiple hoppers has a rotating shaft located at the center. A spiral blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. Two scrapers that fit against the inner wall of the hopper are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft, and the two scrapers are symmetrically distributed. The top of the rotating shaft passes through a cap, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the cap through an annular groove. The top outer wall of the cap is provided with a drive mechanism to rotate the rotating shaft.

[0008] The discharge port at the bottom of the hopper is equipped with a frustum-shaped sealing cover. Two mounting plates are symmetrically fixed to the outside of the frustum-shaped sealing cover. Springs are fixed to the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates and the springs are fixed to the hopper.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a mounting frame, which is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the cap. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor passes through the mounting frame and is fixed to one of the adjacent rotating shafts. The top ends of the plurality of rotating shafts are keyed to pulleys, and the plurality of pulleys are connected to each other by belt drive.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a pressure roller is provided between two adjacent pulleys to compress the belt, and the pressure roller is rotatably connected to the cap through a bearing.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the locking mechanism includes a locking screw, and the cap has insertion holes on both sides. The locking screw is inserted into the insertion holes, and the box body has threaded holes on both sides that communicate with the insertion holes. The locking screw is threadedly connected to the threaded holes.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a sealing ring is fixedly connected to the top of the box, and two guide rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the hopper. One end of each of the two guide rods passes through two mounting plates and is fixedly connected to a baffle.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this invention, the drive mechanism further includes a rotary motor, which is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the cap. One end of the output shaft of the rotary motor is connected to a first worm gear via a coupling. One of the shafts near the top of the rotary motor is keyed to a first worm wheel, which meshes with the first worm gear. The top ends of several other shafts are keyed to second worm wheels. The top outer wall of the cap is provided with several second worm gears that mesh with the second worm wheels. Adjacent first and second worm gears are keyed to a first coupling, and adjacent second worm gears are keyed to a second coupling.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. Through the combined use of the scraper and the spiral blade, the rotating shaft will drive the spiral blade to rotate during the rotation of the shaft. The spiral blade will push the material in the hopper to be discharged. The rotating shaft will drive the scraper to rotate, so that the scraper can scrape and clean the material adhering to the inner wall of the hopper, preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper for a long time and solidifying. This makes it easier for the staff to clean the hopper and avoids material waste.

[0016] 2. By setting up a locking mechanism, the cap and the box are separated into two parts and fixed by the locking mechanism, which makes it easier for workers to remove the cap from the box to clean the shaft, spiral blade, scraper and hopper, thus improving the convenience of cleaning.

[0017] 3. By setting the sealing ring, the gap between the box and the cap can be sealed, thereby preventing external dust from entering the box through the gap between the box and the cap, thus improving the sealing performance of the dispensing device. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Reference Figures 1-3 A food preparation device includes a housing 2 and a cap 3. The cap 3 is snapped onto the top of the housing 2. A door panel 1 is hinged to one side of the housing 2. A locking mechanism 4 is provided between the housing 2 and the cap 3. A partition is integrally formed inside the housing 2. Multiple equally spaced mounting holes are opened on the upper surface of the partition. A material hopper is fixed in the mounting holes by bolts. A material box 17 is placed inside the housing 2 below the partition. A cavity 10 is opened at the bottom of the housing 2. A device is provided in the cavity 10 to agitate the material in the material box 17. The stirring mechanism 11 includes a motor, a transmission shaft, a magnet, a cylinder, an iron block, a stirring rod, and a stirring blade. When the motor rotates, it can drive the stirring rod to rotate through the magnet, thereby stirring the material. After stirring is completed, the door panel 1 can be opened and the material box 17 can be taken out from the box 2. The inner walls on both sides of the box 2 are welded with inclined guide frames 12 between the partition and the material box 17, and the material discharge point of the guide frame 12 is located directly above the material filling port of the material box 17.

[0026] Multiple hoppers are equipped with rotating shafts 14 at their centers. Spiral blades 15 are welded to the outer side of each rotating shaft 14. Two scraper frames 16, which are symmetrically distributed and fit against the inner wall of the hopper, are bolted to the outer side of each rotating shaft 14. The top of the rotating shaft 14 passes through a cap 3 and is rotatably connected to the cap 3 via an annular groove. The top of the cap 3 has a drive mechanism 6 on its outer wall to rotate the rotating shaft 14. The drive mechanism 6 includes a mounting frame 603, which is bolted to the top outer wall of the cap 3. A drive motor 602 is bolted to the top of the mounting frame 603. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor 602 passes through the mounting bracket 603 and is fixed to one of the adjacent rotating shafts 14. The top ends of multiple rotating shafts 14 are keyed to pulleys 601, and the multiple pulleys 601 are connected to each other by belt drive. When the drive motor 602 is started, the drive motor 602 will drive the rotating shaft 14 connected to it to rotate, and the rotating shaft 14 will drive the pulley 601 connected to it to rotate. At the same time, the transmission connection between the pulley 601 and the belt will cause the other rotating shafts 14 to rotate synchronously, thereby ensuring that the multiple rotating shafts 14 rotate synchronously and that the materials in multiple hoppers are discharged synchronously.

[0027] A frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 is installed inside the discharge port at the bottom of the hopper. Two mounting plates 9 are symmetrically welded to the outer side of the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8. Springs 20 are welded to the upper surface of both mounting plates 9, and the springs 20 are fixed to the hopper. The rotating shaft 14 drives the spiral blade 15 to rotate. During the rotation, the spiral blade 15 conveys the material in the hopper downwards. At this time, because the force generated by the spiral blade 15 conveying the material is greater than the force required for the spring 20 to pull, the material pushes the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 downwards, and the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 stretches the spring 20. At this time, a gap will be created between the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 and the hopper, allowing the material to flow out through the gap between the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 and the hopper, and then flow into the material box 17 through the guide frame 12. After the material in the hopper is discharged, the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 will be reset upward by the force of the spring 20, thereby sealing the outlet of the hopper. At the same time, since the force required for the spring 20 to stretch is greater than the weight of the material when the hopper is full, the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 can stably seal the outlet of the hopper.

[0028] In this invention, a pressure roller 604 is provided between two adjacent pulleys 601 to compress the belt. The pressure roller 604 is rotatably connected to the cap 3 via a bearing. By compressing the belt with the pressure roller 604, the belt is tightly fitted to the pulleys 601, allowing for stable transmission between multiple pulleys 601 via the belt. The locking mechanism 4 includes a locking screw 402. Insertion holes 401 are provided on both sides of the cap 3, into which the locking screw 402 is inserted. Inside 401, threaded holes 403 are provided on both sides of the housing 2, which are connected to the insertion holes 401. The locking screws 402 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 403. The locking screws 402 are removed from the threaded holes 403. At this time, the cap 3 can be removed from the housing 2, thereby removing the rotating shaft 14, the spiral blade 15 and the scraper 16 from the hopper. The rotating shaft 14, the spiral blade 15 and the scraper 16 and the hopper can be cleaned.

[0029] In particular, a sealing ring 13 is bonded to the top of the box 2. The sealing ring 13 can seal the gap between the box 2 and the cap 3, thereby preventing external dust from entering the box 2 through the gap between the box 2 and the cap 3. Two guide rods 18 are welded to the bottom of the hopper. One end of the two guide rods 18 passes through two mounting plates 9 and is welded with a baffle 19. The baffle 19 can limit the downward movement distance of the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8, thereby limiting the maximum speed of material flow and preventing the material flow rate from being too fast.

[0030] Working principle: When needed, the drive motor 602 is started, which drives the connected rotating shaft 14 to rotate. The rotating shaft 14 drives the connected pulley 601 to rotate. Simultaneously, through the transmission connection between the pulley 601 and the belt, several other rotating shafts 14 rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 14 drives the spiral blade 15 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral blade 15, it conveys the material in the hopper downwards. At this time, the material pushes the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 downwards, and the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 stretches the spring 20. Due to the material conveying process of the spiral blade 15... The force generated is greater than the force required to pull the spring 20, so a gap is created between the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 and the hopper, allowing the material to flow out through the gap between the frustum-shaped sealing cover 8 and the hopper. Then, it flows into the material box 17 through the guide frame 12. Subsequently, the stirring mechanism 11 stirs the material in the material box 17. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 14, the scraper 16 will rotate, and the scraper 16 will scrape and clean the material adhering to the inner wall of the hopper, thereby preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the hopper and solidifying, making it easier for the staff to clean the hopper, and avoiding material waste.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the drive mechanism 6 further includes a rotary motor 605, which is fixed to the top outer wall of the cap 3 by bolts. One end of the output shaft of the rotary motor 605 is connected to a first worm 606 via a coupling. The top end of one of the rotating shafts 14 near the rotary motor 605 is keyed to a first worm wheel 611, and the first worm wheel 611 meshes with the first worm 606. The top ends of multiple rotating shafts 14 are keyed to second worm wheels 608. The top outer wall of the cap 3 is provided with multiple second worms 610 that mesh with the second worm wheels 608. A first coupling 607 is keyed between adjacent first worms 606 and second worms 610, and a second coupling 609 is keyed between two adjacent second worms 610.

[0033] In use, when one hopper needs to discharge material, the first worm 606 is rotated by rotating the motor 605. The first worm 606, through meshing with the first worm wheel 611, drives the rotating shaft 14 connected to the first worm wheel 611 to rotate, thus allowing one hopper to discharge material individually. When two or more hoppers need to discharge material, one of the second worms 610 is connected to the first worm 606 through the first coupling 607. Then, the second worms 610 are connected to each other through the second coupling 609. At this time, the rotation of the first worm 606 will drive the second worms 610 to rotate, thus causing multiple rotating shafts 14 to rotate synchronously to discharge material. In this way, one, two, or more hoppers can be discharged in sequence according to the user's needs, which is convenient to use.

[0034] Furthermore, although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
