Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, specifically to a powder seasoning adding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the cooking process, precise control and addition of powdered seasonings are crucial to ensuring the flavor of dishes. Traditional manual addition methods are not only inefficient but also make it difficult to ensure consistent dosage each time. Therefore, various automated powdered seasoning dispensing devices have emerged on the market, designed to improve the accuracy and efficiency of seasoning addition.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology:

[0004] 1. Seasoning blockage problem:

[0005] During the seasoning delivery process, due to the characteristics of powdered seasonings (such as poor flowability and easy moisture absorption and clumping), blockages are prone to occur, which prevents the seasonings from being delivered smoothly to the cooking utensils and affects the performance.

[0006] 2. Poor precision control:

[0007] Precisely controlling the amount of seasoning added each time is one of the key requirements in the seasoning process. However, some existing devices, due to design limitations, struggle to achieve high-precision control of the amount of seasoning added, especially in continuous operation.

[0008] 3. Limited adaptability:

[0009] Different types of powdered seasonings (such as salt, pepper, curry powder, etc.) have different physical properties, and some existing devices may only be applicable to specific types of seasonings, lacking broad applicability.

[0010] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0016] A feeding assembly, located next to the support assembly, is used to deliver powdered seasonings from the support assembly to the cooking appliance.

[0017] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a container.

[0018] Furthermore, the container is a cylindrical material tank.

[0019] Furthermore, the support assembly includes a tray;

[0020] The pallet is provided with a first feeding port and a first discharging channel;

[0021] The first discharge port is located above the first discharge channel and is connected to the first discharge channel.

[0022] Furthermore, the feeding assembly includes a first component, a first motor, and a first screw;

[0023] The first component includes a second discharge port, a second discharge channel, and a hopper;

[0024] The second discharge port is located below the second discharge channel, and the hopper is located above the second discharge channel. The second discharge channel is connected to the second discharge port and the hopper.

[0025] One end of the first screw is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, and the first screw is installed in the second discharge channel.

[0026] The hopper is connected to the storage mechanism, and the second discharge port is connected to the first discharge port;

[0027] The powdered seasoning from the storage mechanism falls into the hopper and then into the second discharge channel. The first motor drives the first screw to rotate and push the powdered seasoning from the second discharge port into the first discharge port and then into the first discharge channel, and then into the cooking appliance from the first discharge channel.

[0028] Furthermore, an air inlet is provided at one end of the first discharge channel, and an air inlet pipe is provided at the air inlet, which is connected to an air source;

[0029] The other end is provided with a discharge port, which is equipped with a discharge pipe for discharging powdered seasonings into the cooking appliance.

[0038] Furthermore, there are two or more trays;

[0039] The pallet has two or more first feeding ports, each first feeding port corresponds to a first component, and each first component corresponds to a first motor and a first screw.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] 1. Structural optimization and simplification:

[0042] By rationally arranging and integrating the storage mechanism, support components, and feeding components into a single device, the overall design is simple and clear. This structure not only reduces the complexity of the equipment but also lowers manufacturing costs and facilitates maintenance and cleaning.

[0043] 2. Improve the efficiency of seasoning conveying:

[0044] The first screw propulsion system, driven by a first motor, effectively transports powdered seasonings from the hopper to the cooking utensils, ensuring smooth and efficient seasoning delivery. In particular, the connection between the second and first discharge ports further enhances the accuracy and stability of seasoning transport. Simultaneously, this connection creates a continuous channel between the screw's pushing path and the discharge path within the tray, reducing the risk of powder scattering or accumulating at the transfer point.

[0045] 3. Prevent blockages:

[0046] An air inlet is installed at one end of the first discharge channel and connected to an air source via an air inlet pipe. The introduction of the air intake system effectively prevents the powdered seasoning from clogging due to moisture absorption and clumping during transportation, ensuring smooth flow of the seasoning and improving the user experience. Since the first discharge channel is located inside the pallet and directly receives the powder falling from the first discharge port, the airflow can promptly carry the powder out after it enters the channel, thereby further reducing accumulation and blockage.

[0047] 4. Enhanced ease of installation and disassembly:

[0048] The design incorporates T-shaped mounting strips and grooves, along with a through-hole first and second fixing hole and a fixing post. This design allows for easy mounting of the first component onto the pallet and effectively prevents relative movement between components. Furthermore, the threaded connection between the storage mechanism and the hopper greatly simplifies the replacement and cleaning of the condiment container. The T-shaped mounting strips and grooves provide guidance and limitation, while the fixing post further restricts relative movement, ensuring the second discharge port remains aligned with the first discharge port over the long term, thus enhancing operational stability.

[0049] 5. Multi-channel parallel operation:

[0050] It supports the configuration of multiple pallets and corresponding first feeding port, first component, first motor and first screw, and can process multiple different types of powder seasonings at the same time, or adjust the addition amount of each seasoning as needed to meet diverse needs and improve the flexibility and applicability of the equipment.

[0051] 6. High-precision control:

[0052] Thanks to the motor-driven spiral pushing mechanism and the rational mechanical design, precise control of the amount of seasoning added each time can be achieved, which is crucial for ensuring the consistency of the flavor and quality of the dishes. Attached Figure Description

[0095] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0096] This powder seasoning dispensing device automates the entire process from storage to delivery to cooking appliances through the coordinated operation of a storage mechanism, a support component, and a feeding component.

[0097] Storage facility:

[0098] The powdered seasoning is first stored in a cylindrical container 1. This container 1, as part of the storage mechanism, ensures the seasoning's airtightness and preservation quality.

[0099] Supporting components:

[0100] The powdered seasoning in the material tank 1 is discharged by gravity or other means and falls onto the tray 2 in the support assembly located next to the material tank 1.

[0101] The pallet 2 is provided with a first discharge port 3 and a first discharge channel 4. The first discharge port 3 is located above and connected to the first discharge channel 4. In this way, when the seasoning is discharged from the tank 1, it can directly enter the first discharge channel 4 through the first discharge port 3.

[0102] Feeding components:

[0103] The feeding assembly includes a first component 5, a first motor 6, and a first screw 7. The first component 5 is provided with a second discharge port 8, a second discharge channel 9, and a hopper 10.

[0104] The second discharge port 8 is located below the second discharge channel 9, and the hopper 10 is located above the second discharge channel 9. The hopper 10 is connected to the storage mechanism (i.e., the material tank 1) to ensure that the seasoning can flow smoothly into the second discharge channel 9.

[0105] One end of the first screw 7 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 6, and the first screw 7 is installed in the second discharge channel 9. When the first motor 6 starts, it drives the first screw 7 to rotate, thereby pushing the powder seasoning in the second discharge channel 9 to the second discharge port 8.

[0106] Condiment transport path:

[0107] The powdered seasoning in the storage mechanism first falls into the hopper 10, and then enters the second discharge channel 9. The first motor 6 drives the first screw 7 to rotate, pushing the seasoning out from the second discharge port 8.

[0108] The second feeding port 8 is connected to the first feeding port 3, so that the seasoning flowing out from the second feeding port 8 can fall directly into the first feeding port 3, and then be transported to the cooking utensils through the first discharge channel 4.

[0109] Intake system to prevent blockage:

[0110] An air inlet is provided at one end of the first discharge channel 4, and it is connected to an air source through an air inlet pipe 11. The introduction of the air intake system helps maintain the fluidity of the seasoning and prevents clogging problems caused by moisture absorption and clumping.

[0111] The other end is provided with a discharge port, through which the powdered seasoning is discharged to the cooking appliance via the discharge pipe 12.

[0112] Installation and fixing design:

[0113] The tray 2 has a T-shaped mounting strip 13 on one side, and the first component 5 has a corresponding mounting groove 14 on one side. The two work together to ensure that the first component 5 is securely mounted on the tray 2.

[0114] In addition, the tray 2 and the first component 5 are provided with a first fixing hole 15 and a second fixing hole 16 that run vertically through the tray. By inserting a fixing post into these holes, the stability between the components is further enhanced and relative movement is prevented.

[0115] Multi-channel parallel operation:

[0116] If it is necessary to process various different powdered seasonings or increase the amount of seasoning added, multiple trays 2 can be set up, each tray 2 having multiple first feeding ports 3. Each first feeding port 3 corresponds to a first component 5, a first motor 6, and a first screw 7, realizing multi-channel parallel operation and improving flexibility and efficiency.

[0117] In summary, this powder seasoning addition device, through its rational structural design and the coordinated operation of its components, achieves a highly efficient and automated process from storage and receiving to conveying, ensuring the accuracy and stability of seasoning addition while effectively solving common problems such as clogging found in traditional equipment. Specifically, the T-shaped fit and fixed column positioning between the first component 5 and the tray 2 ensure stable connection between the second discharge port 8 and the first discharge port 3 even after disassembly and reassembly, forming an airflow-assisted discharge path in conjunction with the air inlet pipe 11 and discharge pipe 12 of the first discharge channel 4.

[0118] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the present utility model concept and based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
