The lunch box 20 can receive dishes transferred from the dish distribution structure 30 when in the first position and can receive soup transferred from the soup distribution structure 40 when in the second position.

In the dish distribution mechanism shown in fig. 1 to 3, the lunch box 20 is driven by the conveying rail to pass through a first position and a second position in sequence, the first position is located right below the dish distribution structure 30 to receive separated dishes transferred from the dish distribution structure 30, and the second position is located below the soup distribution structure 40 to receive soup transferred from the soup distribution structure 40.

In the dish distribution mechanism shown in fig. 7, one placing position is arranged below the dish distribution structure 30, and the soup distribution structure 40 conveys soup to the lunch box 20 of the placing position through a pipeline.

In this embodiment, the dish distributing mechanism is provided with a dish distributing station and a soup distributing station. The solid-liquid separation structure 10 comprises a separation bucket 11, a soup bucket 12 and a hopper 13, wherein the soup bucket 12 is positioned at a soup distribution station, the hopper 13 is positioned at a vegetable distribution station, the separation bucket 11 has an accommodating state and a dumping state, and the separation bucket 11 is rotationally connected with the soup bucket 12 or the hopper 13 and is switched between the accommodating state and the dumping state; when the separating hopper 11 is in the accommodating state, the separating hopper 11 is sleeved on the soup hopper 12, the separating hopper 11 receives dishes and filters soup in the dishes into the soup hopper 12, and when the separating hopper 11 is in the pouring state, the dishes separated by the separating hopper 11 are poured into the hopper 13.

It will be appreciated that the separating hopper 11 is of sieve construction at least at its bottom. The thickness, size and shape of the filter screen can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs, and are not limited herein.

In the structure shown in fig. 2, the separating funnel 11 is sleeved on the soup funnel 12 and is in a holding state, at this time, the dishes are poured into the separating funnel 11, the dishes are blocked and filtered by the filter screen of the separating funnel 11, and soup in the dishes falls into the soup funnel 12, so that solid-liquid separation is realized. In the configuration of fig. 3, the separating hopper 11 is in a dumping condition. The separating bucket 11 can rotate relative to the soup bucket 12 and is switched from a containing state to a pouring state, and when the separating bucket 11 is in the pouring state, dishes subjected to solid-liquid separation are poured into the bucket 13.

In this embodiment, the soup bucket 12 and the hopper 13 are fixedly connected. A rotation shaft is provided at an intermediate position between the soup bucket 12 and the hopper 13, and the separation bucket 11 rotates about the rotation shaft. Can be as follows: the separating hopper 11 is fixed on a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotationally connected with the soup hopper 12/the hopper 13, and can also be: the rotating shaft is fixedly connected with the soup bucket 12/the hopper 13, and the separating bucket 11 is rotatably connected with the rotating shaft.

In this case, the dish is separated by the separating hopper 11, transferred to the hopper 13 to be the dish leaves and left in the soup hopper 12 to be the soup. The dish can be fish, meat, stir-fried dish with or without soup. Under the condition that the soup in the dish needs to be separated (the soup is in each lunch box 20 after each meal), the soup can be filtered out through the separating bucket 11, and then the soup is quantitatively distributed into each lunch box 20 through the soup separating structure 40. Under the condition that soup is not needed (the soup is not needed in each lunch box 20 after meal), the dishes separated by the separation hopper 11 are poured into the hopper 13 and distributed to each lunch box 20, and the soup in the soup hopper 12 is directly discharged. Therefore, the dish distribution mechanism provided by the embodiment can quantitatively distribute dishes containing or not containing soup, and can also quantitatively distribute the soup of the dishes after the soup is drained.

For convenience of description, the separated dish refers to a dish with soup filtered out.

According to the dish distribution mechanism provided by the embodiment, the soup bucket 12 and the hopper 13 are separately arranged, solid-liquid separation of dishes is realized by combining the rotation of the separation bucket 11, the separated dishes are quantitatively supplied through the dish distribution structure 30, and the separated soup is quantitatively supplied through the soup distribution structure 40, so that automatic dish distribution of the dishes is realized.

The dish distributing mechanism provided by the embodiment carries out solid-liquid separation on dishes firstly, and then carries out quantitative distribution on the separated dishes and soup independently, so that the condition that the soup distribution is uneven due to the fact that the dishes are integrally distributed and the soup distribution is easy to bring can be avoided, and the dish balance is improved. The balance means that the solid-liquid ratio of the dishes in each meal box 20 is basically consistent after distribution. In addition, after the solid-liquid separation is carried out on the dishes, the separated dishes and the separated soup are separately quantitatively distributed, the separated dishes are solid, the separated soup is liquid, and the separated dishes and the separated soup can be distributed by adopting different structures so as to realize better distribution effect.

By last, the dish distribution mechanism that this embodiment provided and adopt this dish distribution mechanism's meal distribution equipment can realize automatic meal distribution to can improve meal distribution efficiency, meal distribution volume's uniformity and equilibrium. Consistency means that the total amount of dishes distributed to each meal box 20 is basically consistent, and balance means that the solid-liquid ratio of the dishes in each meal box 20 is basically consistent after distribution.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the hopper 13 has a first cavity for placing dishes and a first through hole formed at the bottom of the first cavity.

Referring to fig. 4 to 6, the dish distributing structure 30 includes a sleeve 33 passing through from top to bottom, a rotating member 31 rotatably disposed in the sleeve 33, and a driver 32 for driving the rotating member 31 to rotate, the rotating member 31 has at least one receiving groove 301 on an outer surface thereof, the rotating member 31 has a feeding state in which any receiving groove 301 faces the first through hole for the dishes to enter the receiving groove 301, a material blocking state opposite to the wall of the sleeve 33 for limiting the dishes to leave the receiving groove 301, and a material discharging state opposite to the lunch box 20, and the rotating member 31 rotates to sequentially pass through the feeding state, the material blocking state, and the material discharging state.

When the containing groove 301 of the rotating member 31 is opposite to the first through hole, the dish in the hopper 13 enters the containing groove 301, and it should be noted that the capacity of the containing groove 301 determines the amount of the dish in the hopper 13 that can enter the containing groove 301. The dish in the containing groove 301 rotates along with the rotation of the rotating member 31, in this process, the containing groove 301 rotates from the position corresponding to the first through hole to the position corresponding to the wall of the sleeve 33 and then rotates to the position corresponding to the lunch box 20, and correspondingly, the rotating member 31 rotates from the feeding state to the clamping state and finally to the discharging state.

The sleeve 33 is disposed to ensure that the dish can only pass through the containing groove 301 of the rotating member 31 and be transferred along with the rotation of the containing groove 301. The rotating member 31 is provided with a containing groove 301, and quantitative transfer of dishes is realized through rotation of the rotating member 31.

Preferably, when there are a plurality of receiving grooves 301, each receiving groove 301 is circumferentially disposed. In the structure shown in fig. 6, there are two accommodating grooves 301 of the rotating member 31, and the two accommodating grooves are oppositely disposed on two sides of the rotating member 31. In other embodiments, the number of the receiving grooves 301 is three, four or other numbers, which are not limited herein. It can be understood that the increase of the number of the accommodating grooves 301 can improve the efficiency of transferring dishes.

When the rotating member 31 is in the feeding state, the first vibration motor 131 vibrates to urge the dishes in the hopper 13 to enter the accommodating groove 301 and fill the accommodating groove 301, so as to improve the balance of the dishes distributed in different amounts.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 1, a transfer bucket 34 is disposed below the rotating member 31, and the transfer bucket 34 is used for receiving the dishes falling from the accommodating slot 301 and transferring the dishes to the lunch box 20. It can be understood that the pipe orifice at the lower end of the sleeve 33 is larger in size and slightly higher than the lower surface of the rotating member 31, and this arrangement can increase the time of the rotating member 31 in the discharging state, thereby ensuring that all dishes in the accommodating groove 301 can fall down. In this case, the range covered by the dish falling is larger than the dimension of the rotating member 31 on the horizontal projection, and increases with the distance between the rotating member 31 and the lunch box 20. The transferring hopper 34 collects dishes falling from the accommodating groove 301, and transfers the dishes to the lunch box 20 through the discharge hole formed in the bottom, so as to ensure that the dishes in one accommodating groove 301 can be transferred to one lunch box 20.

It will be appreciated that the underside of the rotatable member 31 may be directly opposite the dish 20 without the transfer bucket 34. In other words, the dish falling from the containing groove 301 of the rotating member 31 directly falls into the dinner plate 20. In other embodiments, other transfer structures may be provided between the rotating member 31 and the dish 20, and are not limited herein.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 5 and 6, the transfer bucket 34 is provided with a sealing plate 342 at the lower end port thereof for opening or closing the lower end port.

For placing the position of placing cutlery box 20 below the transferring bucket 34, the lower end port of the transferring bucket 34 is opened when the cutlery box 20 is located at the placing position by the sealing plate 342, and when the cutlery box 20 leaves the placing position or after dishes in the transferring bucket 34 are all transferred to the cutlery box 20, the lower end port of the transferring bucket 34 is closed.

In this embodiment, the sealing plate 342 is driven by a motor to rotate relative to the transfer bucket 34. Preferably, a sealing gasket 343 is provided on the surface of the sealing plate 342 facing the transfer bucket 34 to ensure that the sealing plate 342 is connected to the transfer bucket 34 in a watertight manner when the sealing plate 342 closes the lower end port of the transfer bucket 34, so as to prevent the soup remaining in the dish from leaking out through the joint between the sealing plate 342 and the transfer bucket 34.

The dish distribution mechanism comprises a first sensor, when the first sensor detects that the placement position is provided with the meal box 20, the motor rotates to drive the sealing plate 342 to open the lower end port of the transfer bucket 34, and dishes in the transfer bucket 34 fall to the meal box 20. The motor then rotates to actuate the closure plate 342 to close the lower end port of the transfer bucket 34.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 4, the transfer bucket 34 is provided with a second vibration motor 341, and when the sealing plate 342 opens the lower end port of the transfer bucket 34, the second vibration motor 341 vibrates to promote the dishes in the transfer bucket 34 to be transferred to the lunch box 20, so as to improve the efficiency of transferring the dishes.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the soup bucket 12 has a second cavity for placing soup and a second through hole formed at the bottom of the second cavity.

The bucket 41 receives the entire contents of the bucket 12, and the amount of contents transferred from the bucket 41 to the meal box 20 is controlled by the start and stop of the pump 43.

In the configuration shown in figures 1 to 3, the dish 20 is able to pass through a first resting position and a second resting position, the soup pump 43 controlling the transfer of soup from the soup tub 41 to the cutlery box 20 when the dish 20 is in the second resting position. The dish distributing mechanism comprises a second sensor, when the second sensor detects that a lunch box 20 is arranged at the second placing position (the lunch box 20 reaches the second placing position), the soup pump 43 is started to drive soup in the soup barrel 41 to be transferred to the lunch box 20 through the soup pipe 42, when the amount of the transferred soup reaches the set amount, the soup pump 43 stops running, and the lunch box 20 leaves the second placing position.

In the configuration shown in fig. 7, the dinner plate 20 is placed in the placement position of the transfer bucket 34, and when the first sensor detects that the placement position has the meal box 20, the soup pump 43 is started to drive the soup in the soup barrel 41 to be transferred to the meal box 20 through the soup pipe 42, and when the amount of the transferred soup reaches the set amount, the soup pump 43 stops running.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, a filter screen 121 is disposed at the second through hole of the soup bucket 12. It can be understood that the mesh size of the filter screen 121 is smaller than that of the separating funnel 11, thereby realizing a further filtering effect on the soup.

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2, the soup bucket 12 is connected with a three-way joint 44 at the second through hole, the other two ends of the three-way joint 44 are respectively connected with the soup barrel 41 and a drain pipe 45, and a stop valve is arranged between the drain pipe 45 and the three-way joint 44. During the dish distribution operation, the stop valve is closed, the soup separated by the separating funnel 11 enters the soup barrel 41 through the three-way joint 44, and then is transferred to the lunch box 20 through the soup pipe 42. After the dish distribution operation is finished, the separating bucket 11 can be returned to the accommodating state, the stop valve is opened, the washing water is poured into the separating bucket 11, the separating bucket 11 and the soup bucket 12 are cleaned, and the cleaned washing water is directly discharged from the three-way joint 44 and the water discharge pipe 45.
