Description

1 TARIFF Mechanically operated dry food storage container. Technical Area The invention is suitable for home kitchens, industrial kitchens, restaurants, hotel kitchens, supermarkets, In many different areas such as food storage and logistics centers, rice, coffee, tea, 5 Used for storing dry food products such as lentils, and following the FIFO (First In, First Out) principle. It relates to a storage container that works on this principle. State of the Art Dry food products such as legumes, rice, pasta, flour, and spices generally have long shelf lives. Although they have a lifespan, they lose quality over time. Today, the 10 mentioned... The hygienic storage or preservation of dry foods is of great importance. Therefore, storage containers are used to preserve dry foods. Storage containers used in current technology allow dry foods to spoil before... It ensures consumption and reduces risks such as spoilage and insect infestation. Since the amount used and the remaining amount are visible, it is easy to control. This way, unnecessary 15... No new products are purchased and the old stock is used up, resulting in cost savings. Furthermore... Thanks to FIFO (First in, First Out) containers, the previous product is used and the new product is produced. It is consumed later. Implementing FIFO for storage containers is cumbersome in the current state of the art. FIFO To avoid leaving the old product at the bottom when adding a new product for application, the container must be completely filled to 20°C. It needs to be emptied and refilled. However, those who use the kitchen... They have to keep track of which product arrived first. Hence the FIFO principle. While applying it in storage containers is very useful in home or professional kitchens It requires effort and discipline. Disadvantages of the current technique FIFO 25 in kitchens or food storage areas the development of a mechanically movable storage container that operates in accordance with this principle It makes it necessary. As a result of the research conducted on this matter, application number CN203629179U It has been encountered. The relevant document relates to food storage containers and cooling circulation. It describes a complex and costly structure involving 30 2 In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions being the subject of discussion... Due to its shortcomings, an improvement is needed in the relevant technical field. It has been made. Purpose of the Invention The invention was created by drawing inspiration from existing situations and addressing the aforementioned drawbacks. 5 It aims to solve the problem. The main purpose of the invention is to implement FIFO (First-In, First-Out) storage for dry food products. a system that applies its principle completely automatically using gravity and mechanical force The goal is to place a storage container. Another purpose of the invention is to enable the user to always take the product from the bottom of the container. 10 The aim is to ensure that the older product is consumed first. Another aim of the invention is to create a completely automated system without motors, sensors, or electronic components. The goal is to offer a mechanically operated storage container. Another purpose of the invention is to prevent the initial and subsequently added products from mixing together. The goal is to prevent. 15 Another aim of the invention is to provide a storage container that can be easily removed and cleaned. To fulfill the purposes described above, the invention is suitable for household kitchens, industrial use, and other applications. kitchens, restaurants, hotel kitchens, markets, food storage and logistics centers It can be used to store dry food products such as rice, coffee, tea, and lentils in many different areas. It is a storage container used for and operating on the FIFO (First In First Out) principle, 20 feature;  New dry food is added to the storage container and by the effect of gravity a place where the new product descends to the bottom of the storage container feeding hopper,  The 25 that collapses due to the weight of the new product added to the feed hopper. or rotating and with this movement the old product in the storage container a rotating base that allows it to move to a lower compartment 3  Accumulation of old product passing to the lower compartment via the rotating base and a collection bin that enables it to be collected.  The old product accumulated in the collection hopper is released to the outside in a controlled manner. an exit hatch that allows it to be removed It includes 5. The structural and characteristic features and all the advantages of the invention are given in the figures below. This becomes clearer thanks to the detailed explanation written with references to these figures. This will be understood as such, and therefore the evaluation will also take these forms and detailed explanations into account. This should be done taking that into consideration. Figures to Help Understand the Invention 10 Figure 1 shows a representative view of the storage container that is the subject of the invention. Explanation of Part References 1. Feeding hopper 2. Rotating base 3. Collection bin 15 4. Exit hatch 5. Air equalization duct 6. Flow control valve 10. Storage container Detailed Description of the Invention 20 In this detailed explanation, the preferred storage container (10) that is the subject of the invention is described. Their structures are explained solely to facilitate a better understanding of the subject. The storage container (10), whose appearance is given in Figure 1, uses the FIFO (First In First Out) principle. The system operates automatically using only gravity and mechanical force. When a user simply adds and buys products without doing any extra steps, they receive 25. 4 The FIFO sequence is automatically established. The storage container that is the subject of this invention is the aforementioned FIFO. In order to ensure use in accordance with the principle, in its most basic form a feeding hopper (1), a It includes a rotating base (2), a collection hopper (3) and an outlet cover (4). The upper feeding hopper (1) into which the user pours the newly purchased dry food directly. It is a compartment. It has a wide mouth and a vertical shape, and the product is placed in this container by gravity. 5 It directly affects the internal mechanism. The movable rotating base (2) is mechanical. It is one of the most important elements of the mobile storage container. Top feed hopper (1) When a new product is added, the rotating base (2) is made possible by the weight of this product. It is collapsing or turning downwards. This movement was previously added (old). It directs the product to pass into the collection bin, which is a lower compartment, and 10 The newly added product remains at the top. The bottom collection chamber (3) in the storage container (10) which is the subject of the invention is the rotating base. (2) ensures that the old product that passes to the lower compartment through it accumulates here and It collects. The collection bin (3) collects the previously added products and the new product is on top. However, there is an outlet cover (4) at the outlet of the lower collection hopper (3). It takes in. The product that accumulates in the collection hopper (3) is taken out from here and thus FIFO In accordance with this principle, the product that always enters the storage container (10) first is used. One application of the invention involves an air balancing channel (5). The aforementioned air The balancing channel prevents negative or negative impacts that may occur inside the tank during product passage. It ensures the balancing of positive pressure differences. This allows for smooth and efficient product flow. It will be free from blockage. Another application of the invention includes the flow control valve (6). The aforementioned flow control valve (6) allows the flow of air or product inside the container to be controlled manually. This allows for monitoring. If necessary, the system can be shut down or restarted. It is used for the purpose of guidance. The working principle of the storage container, which is the subject of this invention, is briefly as follows: 25 New product is added to the upper feed hopper (1) of the storage container by opening the top lid. New When a product is added, the movable rotating base (2) is activated and the old product is collected at the bottom. directs the product to the bottom collection bin (3). The user directs the product only from the outlet of the bottom collection bin. It takes in water from the outlet cover located on the side. Thus, in accordance with the FIFO principle, each The output of the first product added in the rough time is taken. 30
