The rice storage device according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings 1 to 10.

According to the utility model discloses, store up rice device is including the accommodation unit who has accommodation space to store above-mentioned edible material.

Fig. 1 shows a housing bin 120 as one example of a housing unit. The cartridge 120 includes a cartridge body 121 and a cartridge cover 130. The cartridge body 121 is generally configured in the shape of a rounded rectangular parallelepiped having a space inside and forming an opening at the top communicating with the inside space. A cartridge cover 130 covers the top of the cartridge body 121 to close the opening. Thus, a receiving space 140 for storing food materials is defined between the bin cover 130 and the bin body 121. Exemplarily, the accommodating space 140 may be provided with a large volume such that it can store 5-10kg of food material.

The bin cover 130 can be fixedly attached to the bin body 121, such as by ultrasonic welding or the like. As shown in fig. 1, the lid 130 is provided with an additional cover 131 which can be opened and closed. The food material can be placed in the receiving space 140 by opening the additional cover 131. Thus, the additional cover 131 is smaller in size and more convenient to open and close. And the additional opening corresponding to the additional cover 131 is smaller, so that the possibility that dust or impurities and the like fall into the accommodating space 140 through the additional opening when the additional cover 131 is opened can be reduced. The additional cover 131 can be opened by pivoting about a pivot axis, pushing and pulling along a chute, or direct removal, for example.

Alternatively, the cartridge cover 130 may be integrally openable and closable with respect to the cartridge body 121. For example, the lid 130 can be pivotally connected to the cartridge body 121 by a pivot shaft, or snap directly onto the cartridge body 121, or be connected to the cartridge body 121 in a push-pull manner by a slide slot. The additional cover 131 may be optionally retained or omitted at this time as desired.

The bottom of the bin body 121 is provided with a discharge hole 122 communicating with the accommodating space 140. The food material stored in the accommodating space 140 can automatically flow out from the discharge hole 122 under the action of gravity, so that the food material is convenient for a user to take. Therefore, the rice storage device 100 according to the present invention is particularly suitable for storing granular food materials having fluidity such as rice, beans, and the like. Preferably, the bottom of the cartridge body 121 is configured as an inverted cone. In the present embodiment, the bottom of the cartridge body 121 is generally configured in the configuration of a rectangular pyramid. The discharge port 122 is disposed at the top end of the reverse taper (i.e., at the lowest position of the cartridge body 121). Therefore, the bottom of the bin body 121 has a slope, so that food material residue can be avoided.

Preferably, the rice storage device 100 further comprises a base 110. The receiving chamber 120 is constructed in a separate structure from the base 110 and is detachably coupled to the base 110. The detachable arrangement mode allows the user to detach and clean the accommodating bin 120, so that the inside of the accommodating bin is kept in a clean and sanitary environment, and long-time storage of food materials is facilitated.

Preferably, one of the bin 120 and the base 110 can be provided with a detent, and the other with a catch. When the bin 120 is mounted to the base 110, the latch 114 engages with the detent to lock the two. As shown, in the present embodiment, the accommodating chamber 120 is provided with a detent (not shown), and the base 110 is provided with a buckle 114. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, the receiving chamber 120 and the base 110 may be fastened by fastening means such as screws.

Further, the rice storage device 100 according to the present invention further includes a decompression unit 111. The decompression unit 111 communicates with the accommodating space 140 for reducing the pressure within the accommodating space 140 to or below a predetermined pressure value. For example, the pressure in the accommodating space 140 may be lower than the atmospheric pressure by evacuating the accommodating space 140. A state in which the pressure inside the accommodating space 140 is lower than the atmospheric pressure may be referred to as a negative pressure state. Under the negative pressure state, the air content, especially the oxygen content, in the accommodating space 140 is low, so that the respiration of the stored food material can be obviously weakened, and the food material can be kept fresh for a long time.

In order to conveniently and smoothly take out the food material from the accommodating space 140, the rice storage device 100 according to the present invention further includes a material taking unit 112. As shown in fig. 1, the take-out unit 112 is disposed on the base 110. When the receiving bin 120 is coupled to the base 110, the material extracting unit 112 is located below the discharge port 122 of the receiving space 140.

The take-out unit 112 has a take-out chamber (not shown) and a take-out port (not shown). Wherein the material taking cavity is movable between a first position in communication with the discharge opening 122 of the accommodating space 140 and a second position in communication with the material taking opening. In the first position, the material extraction chamber is capable of receiving a predetermined amount of food material from the outlet 122. When the material taking cavity moves from the first position to the second position, the received preset amount of the food material can be taken out through the material taking opening. Preferably, get the material mouth and set up in the below of getting the material chamber, can utilize gravity to make when the two communicates get the edible material of material intracavity and fall automatically, convenience of customers takes.

Preferably, as shown in the drawing, the rice storage device 100 further includes a material receiving box 113 disposed below the material taking port. The material receiving box 113 is removably provided in the base 110. When the material taking unit 112 completes the material taking operation, the user may collect the taken-out material from the material receiving box 113.

In addition, in order to ensure sealing of the accommodating space 140, the material taking unit 112 further includes a sealing member (not shown). The sealing member is movable between a sealing position sealing the material withdrawal opening and an opening position unsealing the material withdrawal opening. Moreover, the material taking unit 112 is configured such that when the material taking cavity is located at the second position and communicated with the material taking port, the sealing member is located at the open position, so that the user can take out the food material conveniently; and when the material taking cavity is positioned at other positions except the second position, the sealing element is positioned at the sealing position to seal the material taking port. Thus, when the food material does not need to be taken out, although the accommodating space 140 is communicated with the material taking unit 112 through the material outlet 122, the accommodating space 140 is kept sealed relative to the outside, and the accommodating space 140 is ensured to form an independent space to keep a negative pressure state.

Preferably, at least one of the take off chamber and the seal may be configured to move between different positions in a rotational manner about a central axis of rotation. This arrangement allows the pickup unit 112 to have a simple structure and occupy a small space.

In order to prevent the food material from spilling when the user carelessly takes out the material receiving box 113 during the operation of the material taking unit 112, a limiting component is arranged in the base 110. The spacing assembly is switchable between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the limiting assembly is in a locked state, the material receiving box 113 is fixed in the base 110; when the limiting assembly is in the unlocked state, the material receiving box 113 can be taken out of the base 110. In particular, the stop assembly is capable of switching states in response to actuation of the drive member. When the driving piece works, the limiting assembly is switched to be in a locking state, and when the driving piece stops working, the limiting assembly is switched to be in an unlocking state. Therefore, the limiting assembly responds to the working state of the material taking unit to lock or unlock the material receiving box 113, and misoperation of a user is prevented.

Fig. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the invention.

The limiting assembly 150 comprises an electromagnet 151 and a permanent magnet 152, the electromagnet 151 is fixedly arranged in the base 110, and the permanent magnet 152 is arranged on the material receiving box 113. In the locked state, electromagnet 151 is energized and generates an attractive force to permanent magnet 152, and in the unlocked state, electromagnet 151 is de-energized.

Specifically, the permanent magnet 152 is disposed above the handle of the material receiving box 113. When the magazine 113 is placed in the base 110, the electromagnet 151 is positioned above the permanent magnet 152, and the two are aligned with opposite poles facing each other. This allows the electromagnet 151 to attract the permanent magnet 152 when energized, thereby fixing the material receiving box 113 inside the base 110. If the user takes the material receiving box 113 out of the base 110 when the material taking unit 112 is in the working state, the attraction between the electromagnet 151 and the permanent magnet 152 will hinder the taking action of the user and prevent the material receiving box 113 from being taken out. When the material taking unit 112 stops working, the electromagnet 151 is de-energized, the attraction force between the electromagnet 151 and the permanent magnet 152 disappears, and the user can take out the material receiving box 113 conveniently.

Fig. 3 and 4 show a second embodiment of the invention. Unlike the first embodiment, the electromagnet 151 is provided at the rear of the material receiving box 113 in the drawing direction of the material receiving box 113. Specifically, the permanent magnet 152 is provided on the side wall of the material receiving box 113 that is innermost in the drawing direction of the material receiving box 113, and the electromagnet 151 is provided behind the permanent magnet 152.

In an embodiment not shown, the limit stop assembly 150 of the first and second embodiments may be combined, while two sets of electromagnets 151 and permanent magnets 152 are provided. It is understood that multiple sets of electromagnets 151 and permanent magnets 152, such as three or four sets, may be provided. As long as the permanent magnet 152 is disposed on the material receiving box 113 and the electromagnet 151 is disposed on the base 110 at positions corresponding to each other, the electromagnet 151 can attract each other when energized.

Fig. 5, 6 and 7 show a third embodiment of the present invention. The limiting assembly 250 includes an electromagnet 251, the electromagnet 251 having a movable rod 252 and an elastic member 253, the elastic member 253 being capable of applying an elastic biasing force to the movable rod 252. Wherein, in the locking state, the movable rod 252 is actuated in response to the electromagnet 251 being electrified and extends into the extraction path of the material receiving box 113 to block the movement of the material receiving box 113 along the extraction path, thereby locking the material receiving box 113 in the base 110. In the unlocked state, the electromagnet 251 is deenergized and the movable rod 252 is retracted from the take-out path in response to the elastic biasing force, and the user can smoothly take out the magazine 113 along the take-out path.

Referring to fig. 6 and 7, the electromagnet 251 is disposed in the base 110. The movable rod 252 may be connected to the core of the electromagnet 251 and move integrally with the core. In addition, an elastic member 253 is connected to the movable rod 252. It is understood that, when the elastic member 253 is preferably a spring, the elastic member 253 may be sleeved outside the movable rod 252. When the electromagnet 251 is energized, the movable rod 252 protrudes toward the moving path of the material receiving box 113 as the iron core moves under the attraction force of the electromagnet 251 to block the material receiving box 113 from moving. At the same time, the elastic member 253 is stretched or compressed to generate an elastic biasing force acting on the movable rod 252. When the electromagnet 251 is de-energized, the movable rod 252 returns to the home position under the elastic biasing force. This allows the material receiving box 113 to be smoothly drawn out without being obstructed in the movement path.

Preferably, the material receiving box 113 is provided with a limiting plate 116, so that when the movable rod 252 extends into the material receiving box 113, the limiting plate can interact with the movable rod 252 to limit the movement of the material receiving box 113 relative to the base 110. Therefore, the movable range of the material receiving box 113 can be further reduced, and the limiting and locking effect is enhanced. It is further preferable that the position limiting plate 116 is provided with a position limiting hole 117, and the position of the position limiting hole 117 corresponds to the moving direction of the movable rod 252, so that the movable rod 252 can be inserted into the position limiting hole 117 when the position limiting assembly is in the locking state. Therefore, the material receiving box 113 is completely locked and cannot move when the material is taken, and misoperation of a user is avoided.

Fig. 8, 9 and 10 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the limiting assembly 350 comprises a motor 351 and a baffle 352 connected to a rotating shaft 353 of the motor 351, and the motor 351 is configured to drive the baffle 352 to rotate between a limiting position for limiting the material box 113 and a releasing position for releasing the limiting position in response to the working state of the driving piece.

As shown in fig. 9 and 10, the material receiving box 113 is provided with a stopper plate 116, and the motor 351 is provided above the material receiving box 113. When the baffle 352 is in the limiting position, the baffle 352 acts on the limiting plate 116 to limit the movement of the material receiving box 113 relative to the base 110. Therefore, the moving range of the material receiving box 113 during material taking can be further limited, and rice grains are further prevented from scattering during misoperation of a user.
