[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] Reference Figures 1-5 A food ingredient storage device for easy access includes a first mounting plate 1 and a storage cylinder 15. The top of the first mounting plate 1 is connected to a second mounting plate 101 via a hinge, and the storage cylinder 15 is placed on top of the second mounting plate 101.
[0025] The top of the first mounting plate 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 2, which is a horizontal groove. The bottom of the second mounting plate 101 is provided with an inclined surface. The bottom of the second mounting plate 101 is provided with a second sliding groove 3, which is an inclined groove. A slider 4 is slidably connected between the second sliding groove 3 and the first sliding groove 2. The upper surface of the slider 4 is inclined and fits against the second sliding groove 3.
[0026] The second slide groove 3 and the upper surface of the slider 4 are both provided with a lubricating coating. The lubricating coating can be one of molybdenum disulfide coating, graphite coating, or copper-based / nickel-based self-lubricating layer.
[0027] A support plate 6 is welded to one side of the first mounting plate 1. An electric push rod 7 is fixed to the top of the support plate 6. One end of the electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 4. The electric push rod 7 is selected from the DT series, with a power of 0.75kW-2.2kW (such as the DT-100-200 type) and a thrust of more than 200kg to meet the load requirements. The DT series electric push rod has a self-locking function to prevent slippage. Under the stretching of the electric push rod 7, the slider 4 is driven to move in the first slide groove 2 and the second slide groove 3, thereby lifting one end of the second mounting plate 101 upward, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the storage cylinder 15 to facilitate the discharge of raw materials.
[0028] When the electric push rod 7 is in the retracted state and the slider 4 is in the initial position, the second mounting plate 101 is in a horizontal state. When the electric push rod 7 is in the maximum extended state and the slider 4 is at the tail end of the second slide groove 3, the second mounting plate 101 is in an inclined state with a maximum inclination angle of 15 degrees.
[0029] The inner walls of both sides of the first slide groove 2 are provided with a first limiting groove 201, which is horizontally arranged. The inner walls of both sides of the second slide groove 3 are provided with a second limiting groove 301, which is inclined. The slider 4 is welded with a sliding shaft 5 on both sides. Multiple sliding shafts 5 slide in the first limiting groove 201 and the second limiting groove 301 respectively, thereby limiting the movement of the slider 4 in the first slide groove 2 and the second slide groove 3, and thus preventing the slider 4 from detaching from the first slide groove 2 and the second slide groove 3.
[0030] A roller 8 is rotatably fitted at the bottom of the slider 4. The roller 8 rolls in the first groove 2, thereby reducing the friction of the slider 4 and making the slider 4 move more smoothly.
[0031] A support column 9 is welded to the top of the first mounting plate 1, and the bottom of the second mounting plate 101 contacts the top of the support column 9. The height of the support column 9 is the same as the height of the slider 4.
[0032] Two support rods 11 are welded to the top of the second mounting plate 101. The outer circumference of the storage cylinder 15 is provided with a first arc plate 12 and a second arc plate 1201. Threaded rods 13 are inserted into both ends of the first arc plate 12 and the second arc plate 1201. The threaded rods 13 pass through the support rods 11. A nut is threaded to one end of the threaded rod 13. A second handle 14 is welded to the other end of the threaded rod 13. The first arc plate 12, the second arc plate 1201, the threaded rods 13 and the nut are used together to fix the storage cylinder 15.
[0033] The top of the storage cylinder 15 is connected to a sealing cover 16 via a hinge. An observation window 17 is embedded in the top of the sealing cover 16, which facilitates observation of the internal raw materials. A discharge valve 18 is sealed and inserted into one side of the storage cylinder 15.
[0034] An inclined plate 19 is fixedly and movably between the inner circumference of the storage cylinder 15 by a hinge. The inclined plate 19 has an inclination angle of 15°-45° and is made of stainless steel with a smooth surface to reduce friction.
[0035] A sealing ring is fitted around the outer ring of the inclined plate 19. The inclined plate 19 is sealed to the inner circumference of the storage cylinder 15 through the sealing ring. The sealing ring is made of fluororubber and the gap between it and the inclined plate 19 is less than 0.1mm to ensure airtightness. The inclined plate 19 inside the storage cylinder 15 is inclined to the bottom, which helps the raw materials to slide out naturally. A fascia gun 20 is fixed to the bottom inner wall of the storage cylinder 15 by bolts. The rubber head of the fascia gun 20 can contact the inclined plate 19. The vibration frequency of the fascia gun 20 is 30-50Hz and the amplitude is 2-5mm. The fascia gun 20 drives the inclined plate 19 to vibrate, thereby accelerating the discharge efficiency of food raw materials. An inspection port is provided at the bottom of the storage cylinder 15 for easy maintenance and power supply of the fascia gun 20.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, firstly, place the storage cylinder 15 on top of the second mounting plate 101. Then, wrap the first arc plate 12 and the second arc plate 1201 around the outside of the storage cylinder 15. Next, pass the threaded rod 13 through one end of the first arc plate 12, the support rod 11, and one end of the second arc plate 1201. Then, tighten the nut to fix the threaded rod 13, thereby fixing the storage cylinder 15. Then, open the sealing cover 16, put the food raw materials into the storage cylinder 15, and then close the sealing cover 16.
[0037] When materials need to be taken out, if there are many raw materials, the sealing cover 16 can be opened directly to take out the materials.
[0038] When more than half of the raw material has been removed, and it is inconvenient to remove material from the top, open the discharge valve 18 to remove material from the bottom.
[0039] When the discharge valve 18 discharges material slowly, the electric push rod 7 is activated. Under the stretching of the electric push rod 7, the slider 4 moves within the first slide groove 2 and the second slide groove 3, thereby lifting one end of the second mounting plate 101 upwards, causing the storage cylinder 15 to tilt. Then, the food raw material flows downwards along the tilt angle of the inclined plate 19. Next, the food raw material is discharged from the discharge valve 18 into the collection box for collection, and the inclined plate 19 is vibrated by the fascia gun 20, thereby accelerating the discharge efficiency of the food raw material.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
