[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.
[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0022] refer to Figures 1-2 The powdered seasoning feeding device shown includes a powder box 11, a feeding screw 12, a driving component, a conveying pipe 14, a valve, and a conveying pipeline (not shown in the attached drawings). The powder box 11 is set on the platform of the cooking machine, and the powder box 11 is provided with a discharge port. The feeding screw 12 is set inside the powder box 11 (preferably set at the bottom of the inner cavity of the powder box 11), and one end of the feeding screw 12 is set at the discharge port. The driving component is used to drive the feeding screw 12 to rotate. One end of the conveying pipeline is connected to the discharge port, and the other end is connected to the pot body. The powder entering the conveying pipeline is pneumatically conveyed into the pot body (for example, a vacuum pump and pressure gauge can be installed, with the pressure gauge used to monitor the air pressure delivered by the vacuum pump; the vacuum pump is connected to the conveying pipeline via a solenoid valve. When the powdered seasoning needs to be conveyed in the conveying pipeline, the vacuum pump pre-works to increase the air pressure. When the pressure value indicated by the pressure gauge reaches the set value, the solenoid valve opens so that the high-pressure gas can be released instantaneously through the conveying pipeline. Then, the powdered seasoning in the conveying pipeline will be conveyed into the pot body under the impulsive high-pressure airflow. The method of conveying the powdered seasoning using instantaneous high-pressure air reduces the possibility of the powdered seasoning partially adhering to the inner wall of the conveying pipeline during the conveying process, thereby improving the accuracy and effect of adding the powdered seasoning). The conveying pipe 14 is located at the outlet, and the valve is located on the conveying pipe 14. The valve is used to open and close the conveying pipe 14.
[0023] Based on the above structure, in use, the powdered seasoning is placed in the powder box 11, and the feeding screw 12 is driven to rotate by the drive component to transport the seasoning in the powder box 11 to the outlet, through the conveying pipe 14, and finally through the pipeline to the pot. By controlling the speed of the feeding screw 12, the purpose of quantitative feeding is achieved, realizing the addition of seasoning without manual feeding, and the degree of automation is high. The valve is used to open and close the conveying pipe 14, and to close the conveying pipe 14 when the powder box 11 is not in use, to ensure the sealing of the powder box 11 and prevent the seasoning in the powder box 11 from getting damp.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a circular anti-bridging turntable 13 is rotatably arranged inside the powder box 11. Several slots 131 are evenly arranged on the periphery of the anti-bridging turntable 13. At least two slots 131 are engaged in the spiral of the feeding screw 12. In this way, when the feeding screw 12 rotates, it will drive the anti-bridging turntable 13 to rotate synchronously, thereby preventing the seasoning in the powder box 11 from becoming blocked.
[0025] like Figures 2-4As shown, the conveying pipe 14 is provided with a first channel 141 and a second channel 142. The two ends of the first channel 141 are the first end and the second end, respectively. The two ends of the second channel 142 are the third end and the fourth end, respectively. The first end of the first channel 141 is connected to the second channel 142, the second end of the first channel 141 is connected to the discharge port, and the third end is connected to the conveying pipeline. The valve includes a valve pipe 15, which is rotatably disposed at the fourth end of the second channel 142. One end of the valve pipe 15 extends to the side of the first end near the third end. The valve pipe 15 is provided with a notch 151. When the valve pipe 15 rotates, the notch 151... 1. After passing through the first end, the purpose of opening and closing the conveying pipe 14 is achieved by rotating the valve pipe 15. Specifically, when the notch 151 is rotated to the first end position, the material enters the notch 151 from the first channel 141, then passes through the second channel 142 (in actual use, the height of the third end of the second channel 142 is lower than the height of the fourth end, so that the powder can fall into the pipe), and finally is conveyed to the pot body from the conveying pipe; when the notch 151 is rotated to a position away from the first end, the annular side of the valve pipe 15 seals the first end to ensure the sealing of the powder box 11 and prevent the material from getting damp when not in use.
[0026] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a rotating ring 152 is provided on the side of the valve pipe 15 away from the third end. The rotating ring 152 has a groove on its ring side. Thus, by providing the rotating ring 152, it is easy to rotate the valve pipe 15. Furthermore, a limiting plate 153 is provided on the side of the rotating ring 152 near the third end, and a limiting plate 153 is provided at the fourth end of the conveying pipe 14. When the limiting plate 153 abuts against both sides of the limiting plate 153, the notch 151 is located on the side near the first end or on the side away from the first end. Thus, it is easy to accurately block the first channel 141 or rotate the notch 151 to the position of the first end.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a mounting base 17 is provided on the feeding pipe 14, and a slot 171 is provided on the mounting base 17. The slot 171 is adapted to the plate on the cooking machine platform to position the mounting base 17.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the powder box 11 is provided with a storage chamber and a conveying chamber, which are arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The storage chamber is funnel-shaped, and the feeding screw 12 is arranged in the conveying chamber. The discharge port is arranged on one side of the conveying chamber. In this way, the powder can be conveyed to the discharge port through the feeding screw 12 while increasing the storage capacity of the powder box 11. In actual use, the feeding screw 12 extends into the first channel 141 to avoid the powder from being blocked in the first channel 141.
[0029] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 1 As shown, the powder box 11 has a lid on the top of the storage chamber and a handle on one side. In this way, the seasoning can be added into the powder box 11 by opening and closing the lid, and the handle makes it easy for the user to pick up the powder box 11.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
