As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the invention provides a salt storage device, which comprises a shell 1, wherein a cover body 2 is rotatably connected to an opening of the shell 1, a salt adding opening is formed in the cover body 2, and a rotating structure is arranged on one side of the salt adding opening, so that the rotating structure is driven to enable salt added by the salt adding opening to uniformly fall into the shell 1.
The inner wall of the shell 1 is provided with a sliding groove, the outer wall of the cover body 2 is provided with a sliding block, and the sliding block is matched with the sliding rail in shape, so that the cover body 2 rotates relative to the inner wall of the shell 1.
The cover 2 can be driven by hand or by a drive assembly in order to rotate relative to the housing 1.
The bottom surface of lid 2 is provided with motor 26, and motor 26 is connected with lid 2 to motor 26 drive lid 2 rotates on casing 1 inner wall, makes the user rotatory at the in-process lid 2 that adds salt, thereby evenly falls into casing 1 with the salt that heats in.
The lid 2 includes first support ring 21, fixedly connected with second support ring 23 on the first support ring 21, and first support ring 21 and second support ring 23 pass through revolution mechanic fixed connection.
The rotating structure is a stirring blade 22, one end of the stirring blade 22 is fixedly connected with the upper surface of the first support ring 21, the other end of the stirring blade 22 is fixedly connected with the bottom surface of the second support ring 23, and therefore the first support ring 21 rotates to drive the second support ring 23 to rotate.
As shown in fig. 4, the stirring vane 22 includes a stirring vane body, a first inclined edge 221 is disposed on the stirring vane body, the first inclined edge 221 is connected to a second inclined edge 222, and an included angle is formed between the first inclined edge 221 and the second inclined edge 222.
The shape of the blades 22 is arranged as a fan to better distribute the added salt evenly throughout the housing 1 during rotation.
As a preferred embodiment, the third support ring 24 is disposed on the second support ring 23 for more uniform salt, and the cover 2 is disposed as a stack of multiple support rings, where the number of support rings is not specifically limited, and can be set by the user.
The first support ring 21, the second support ring 23 and the third support ring 24 are provided with a plurality of stirring blades 22 at equal intervals in order to make the added salt more uniform.
A salt adding opening is formed between two adjacent stirring blades 22, so that a user can add salt into the shell 1 conveniently.
The top of the third support ring 24 is provided with a hand-held portion 25, and the hand-held portion 25 is used for a user to open the cover 2 or to manually drive the cover 2 to rotate.
As shown in fig. 3, in order to further enable more accurate detection of the amount of salt added, a photosensor for detecting the amount of salt added is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1.
Be provided with multiunit photoelectric sensor on the inner wall of casing 1, photoelectric sensor includes transmitting terminal 3 and receiving terminal 4, and transmitting terminal 3 and receiving terminal 4 are used for detecting the salt content.
At least two sets of photoelectric sensors are arranged on the same horizontal plane of the inner wall of the shell 1 at equal intervals, so that the salt content in the shell 1 can be more accurately detected.
A plurality of groups of photoelectric sensors are arranged on different horizontal planes of the inner wall of the shell 1 and used for detecting the salt content in the shell 1.
The photoelectric sensors arranged at different levels are arranged at different heights of the salt amount, and the specific embodiment is described as follows.
At least two groups of photoelectric sensors are arranged at the position close to the bottom surface of the shell 1, at least two groups of photoelectric sensors are arranged above the position, the photoelectric sensors at the two horizontal positions represent different heights of salt amount, the height of twice salt amount is indicated at the second position, and the position close to the bottom surface of the shell 1 is the height of once salt amount, so that the salt amount regenerated once can be ensured when a user is reminded of adding salt, and the situation that the set high salt amount is deficient due to slight difference of the required salt amount during each regeneration is also prevented. A circular convex groove is formed at the height inside the salt box, the four sensors are uniformly placed at intervals of 90 degrees respectively, and the 2 opposite sensors are guaranteed to be a pair of sensors for emitting and receiving. Two pairs of photoelectric pair tubes are arranged to increase the confidence level of the feedback information. When the salt amount is reduced to the extent that the receiving ends 4 of the two pairs of photoelectric geminate transistors simultaneously feed back received signals because the salt is opaque, the salt amount in the salt box is in a critical range of the dosage, and then a user is prompted to add the salt.
And (4) adding salt to prompt: the infrared pair tubes are arranged at the middle salt amount height of the salt box to detect whether the user adds salt or not (two pairs of sensors are also adopted, and the same implementation mode of salt shortage detection is adopted), and similarly, the height of the sensor can be arranged at the salt amount height position which is near and can be used twice, and the same scheme is adopted, so that the limitation that the user adds salt raw material when standing at the angle of the user due to overhigh height or insufficient salt raw material of the user is avoided. When two pairs of sensors simultaneously feed back that the signals cannot be received, a prompt of 'please press the salt adding key' is executed.
When the user adds salt, the salt in the air in the salt pouring process shields the infrared detector to cause misjudgment: a tact switch is provided on the housing 1. When the cover body 2 is opened, the switch is used as a switch to change the working state of the photoelectric sensor, and the prompt of the operation of the salt adding key is triggered if the cover body is continuously shielded within 5 minutes.
Specifically, a gravity sensor may be used instead of the photoelectric sensor to detect the salt content, and is not particularly limited herein.
The invention provides a salt storage device, wherein a cover body 2 is arranged at the top of a shell 1, and a rotating structure is arranged on the cover body 2, so that the rotating structure is driven to enable salt added from a salt adding port to uniformly fall into the shell 1, the uniform distribution of the salt in the shell 1 is improved, and the detection efficiency of a photoelectric sensor is improved; simultaneously fit on a contraceptive ring and install the salt volume height of ensureing the dosage at 1 inner wall of casing and then detect, solved and detected inaccurate problem that can't regenerate completely of appearing, improve user experience degree.
