It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0037] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 9, according to a specific embodiment of this application, an automatic material discharge device is provided.

[0039] The automatic discharge device includes a first housing 10 and a sliding assembly 20. The first housing 10 has an inlet channel 11 and a discharge chamber 12 communicating with the inlet channel 11. A discharge port 13 is provided on the side wall of the discharge chamber 12. The sliding assembly 20 is located in the discharge chamber 12 and is slidably disposed relative to the first housing 10. The sliding assembly 20 has a closed position that moves toward the inlet channel 11 to block the discharge port 13, and an open position that moves away from the inlet channel 11 to at least partially open the discharge port 13.

[0040] By applying the technical solution of this application, a feeding channel 11 and a discharge chamber 12 are constructed in the first housing 10, and the discharge port 13 provided on the discharge chamber 12 is at least partially opened or closed by the sliding component 20. This enables the automatic dispensing device to automatically dispense seasonings by controlling the sliding position of the sliding component 20, reducing manual labor intensity and improving food production efficiency. This application solves the problem of high labor intensity caused by manual feeding in the prior art.

[0041] Optionally, the feeding channel 11 is connected to the storage space, or to the material box.

[0042] Further, the sliding assembly 20 includes: a slider 21, which is disposed in the discharge chamber 12 and is slidably disposed relative to the first housing 10, and has a receiving cavity 211 inside; a rotating member 22, part of which is located in the receiving cavity 211, and a three-dimensional guide rail 221 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the part of the rotating member 22 located in the receiving cavity 211, and the length of the rotating member 22 is less than the length of the receiving cavity 211; and a spring pin 23, which is disposed in the slider 21, and part of which extends into the receiving cavity 211 and abuts against the bottom wall of the three-dimensional guide rail 221; wherein, when the rotating member 22 rotates around its own central axis, the three-dimensional guide rail 221 drives the spring pin 23 to move within the three-dimensional guide rail 221, thereby causing the slider 21 to slide relative to the first housing 10. This configuration converts the rotational motion of the rotating component 22 into the translational motion of the slider 21 relative to the first housing 10. Compared to a scheme that uses a gear and rack to drive the slider 21, this configuration results in a smaller overall size and is easier to arrange within the first housing 10. One revolution of the rotating component 22 determines the axial displacement of the slider 21, thus achieving automatic and precise feeding.

[0043] Since both the rotating component 22 and the slider 21 can be configured as cylindrical structures, this improves the sealing performance between the slider 21 and the first housing 10. The rotating component 22 and the slider 21 can be coaxially arranged, further reducing the volume of the sliding assembly.

[0044] Optionally, the internal chamber of the receiving cavity 211 is filled with food-grade grease to completely seal its internal chamber and external environment.

[0045] Furthermore, the rotating component 22 has a first rotational state of clockwise rotation around its own central axis and a second rotational state of counterclockwise rotation around its own central axis. When the rotating component 22 is in the first rotational state, the slider 21 slides relative to the first housing 10 towards the feed channel 11. When the rotating component 22 is in the second rotational state, the slider 21 slides relative to the first housing 10 along the side away from the feed channel 11. That is, when the rotating component 22 rotates clockwise, the slider 21 slides relative to the first housing 10 towards the feed channel 11; when the rotating component 22 rotates counterclockwise, the slider 21 slides relative to the first housing 10 along the side away from the feed channel 11. The above embodiment uses a set of devices to realize the reciprocating motion of the slider 21, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the discharge port.

[0046] The spline rotates, causing the guide rail to rotate. The spring pin is forced to slide along the guide rail, so that the slider moves forward to open when the spline rotates clockwise and moves backward to close when the spline rotates counterclockwise.

[0047] Furthermore, the rotating component 22 includes: a rotating body 222, located within the receiving cavity 211, with a three-dimensional guide rail 221 provided on its outer circumferential surface; and an input shaft 223, with its first end connected to the rotating body 222 and its second end extending into the discharge cavity 12 or the feed channel 11, and the second end of the input shaft 223 having an assembly portion for connecting to an external power source. By providing the input shaft 223, external power, such as the rotational power of a screw feeder, can be introduced into the rotating component 22, thus eliminating the need to add a power unit to the discharge device.

[0048] As the rotating body 222 is driven to rotate by the input shaft 223, the three-dimensional guide rail 221 rotates along with it. The spring pin 23 is forced to slide along the three-dimensional guide rail 221, so that the slider moves forward (towards the feed channel) to open when the rotating body 222 rotates in the forward direction, and moves backward (away from the feed channel) to close when the rotating body 222 rotates in the reverse direction.

[0049] Optionally, the feed channel 11 and the discharge chamber 12 are arranged adjacent to and connected along the axial direction of the first housing 10, and the sliding assembly 20 is disposed at the end of the discharge chamber 12 away from the feed channel 11. The discharge chamber 12 is formed by part of the inner wall of the first housing 10 and the end sidewall of the sliding assembly 20 facing the feed channel 11, that is, the volume of the discharge chamber 12 can vary as the sliding assembly 20 moves.

[0050] Furthermore, there are two spring pins 23, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the slider 21. This arrangement allows the sliding assembly to move more smoothly and respond more quickly.

[0051] Furthermore, along the extension direction of the three-dimensional guide rail 221, the groove depths at at least two locations of the three-dimensional guide rail 221 are set differently. That is to say, the three-dimensional guide rail 221 is a variable height guide rail. Since the spring pin 23 is elastic along its own axis, it can follow the rotation of the three-dimensional guide rail 221 to drive the translation of the slider.

[0052] Furthermore, the automatic discharge device also includes an end plate 30, which is disposed within the discharge chamber 12. The end plate 30 is connected to the side of the slider 21 facing the feed channel 11. The input shaft 223 passes through the end plate 30 and extends into the discharge chamber 12 or the feed channel 11. The end plate 30 effectively prevents liquid material in the discharge chamber 12 from entering the gap between the slider 21 and the first housing 10, ensuring the allowable accuracy of the slider 21 and extending its service life.

[0053] Furthermore, the end plate 30 is connected to the slider 21 by at least one set of connectors 31, the set of connectors 31 including screws and sealing gaskets assembled with the screws.

[0054] Furthermore, a sealing ring 32 is provided between the end plate 30 and the first housing 10.

[0055] Furthermore, the first housing 10 is provided with an isolation plate extending inward from the side wall of the first housing 10. The isolation plate partially separates the feed channel and the discharge chamber 12 so that the feed channel and the discharge chamber 12 can still communicate. The input shaft 223 passes through the end plate 30 and is connected to the isolation plate. The isolation plate is used to provide radial support and axial limit for the input shaft 223.

[0056] Furthermore, an oil seal structure 33 is provided between the end plate 30 and the input shaft 223. This arrangement allows for bidirectional reciprocating sealing through the oil seal structure 33.

[0057] Furthermore, a U-shaped limiting groove 14 is provided at one end of the first housing 10 near the sliding assembly 20, and a limiting post 212 is connected to the slider 21. During the relative sliding of the slider 21 and the first housing 10, the limiting post 212 is located within the U-shaped limiting groove 14 and slides relative to the U-shaped limiting groove 14. Through the cooperation of the U-shaped limiting groove 14 and the limiting post 212, the sliding limitation of the sliding assembly 20 is realized, thus limiting the movement stroke of the sliding assembly 20.

[0058] According to one aspect of this application, a material box is provided, including an automatic discharging device, the automatic discharging device being the aforementioned automatic discharging device. The material box includes: a box body 100, a snap-fit ​​member 107 disposed on the box body 100, and a snap-fit ​​part 108 disposed on a first housing 10, the snap-fit ​​member 107 being connected to the snap-fit ​​part 108.

[0059] The step-fit ​​design is achieved through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​part 108 and the snap-fit ​​piece 107 to prevent the automatic discharge device from falling off.

[0060] Furthermore, the box body 100 has a discharge port 101, at least a portion of which is located in the feed channel 11, and a sealing silicone gasket is provided between the end of the discharge port 101 away from the box body 100 and the first housing.

[0061] Furthermore, the housing 100 is equipped with a screw conveyor mechanism 102, one end of which extends into the discharge port 101. The screw conveyor mechanism 102 includes a screw 103, the end of which is provided with a spline groove 104, and the second end of the input shaft 223 is provided with a spline 2231. The spline 2231 and the spline groove 104 are assembleably configured so that the power of the screw 103 is transmitted to the input shaft 223. This ingenious design utilizes the power of the screw conveyor mechanism 102 to automatically control the opening and closing of the automatic discharge device, achieving unified material handling and feeding actions, and reducing overall cost and size.

[0062] Furthermore, the material box also includes a quick-installation structure 105, the first end of which is connected to the feed channel 11 via a hole-shaft engagement, and the second end of which has a snap-fit ​​cavity 106, with the discharge port 101 detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​cavity 106. This configuration allows the discharge device to be manually opened and closed with the disassembly tool, facilitating assembly and cleaning.

[0063] Optionally, screw 103 can be a screw with a stainless steel sleeve, which has stronger wear resistance and can maintain a rotary seal for a longer period of time.

[0064] Optionally, the screw conveyor 102 and the input shaft 223 are connected by a spline and a feature fit on the screw to transmit torque.

[0065] According to another aspect of this application, a cooking robot is provided, which includes an automatic dispensing device, which is the aforementioned automatic dispensing device.
