AI Technical Summary
Existing spice containers require space to be left when opening the lid, resulting in wasted kitchen space, which is especially inconvenient in small kitchens. Furthermore, traditional spice containers are not hygienic to use.
A tipping-type seasoning box was designed, in which the hopper is movably connected to the outer shell. The hopper is automatically opened and closed by a drive device. Combined with a spoon holder and a sensing module, automatic control is achieved. The spoon is placed on the outside to avoid direct hand contact with the seasoning hopper.
It achieves automatic opening and closing of the hopper, saving kitchen space, improving ease of use and hygiene, reducing hand contact, making it suitable for wall mounting, and enhancing functionality.
