The mounting portion 133 may be provided with an opening through which a portion of the striker 140 can extend into the storage bin 130 and retract into the mounting portion 133 to open/close the discharge hole 131. The discharge hole 131 is located at one side of the opening with a predetermined distance from the opening. Thereby, the closing and opening of the discharge port 131 can be achieved by means of the opening of the mounting portion 133. And keep off material piece 140 the shutoff opening all the time, avoid eating the material to leak to the installation space in via the opening.

As shown in fig. 5, the cooking appliance 100 may further include a dam actuating device 150 for driving the dam 140 to move. The striker actuating device 150 can be disposed in the storage bin 130 and can be lifted together with the storage bin 130. Optionally, the dam 140 is movable in a horizontal direction. The material blocking member actuating device 150 is disposed in the mounting space of the mounting portion 133, so that the action of the material blocking member actuating device 150 is not affected by the food material.

The striker actuating device 150 may include an actuating portion 151 reciprocally movable in a straight line. The illustrated embodiment shows the striker actuation device 150 as an actuator with a push rod; the actuating portion 151 is a push rod. The blocking member 140 may be provided with a mounting groove 141, and an end of the actuating part 151 can be snap-fitted to the mounting groove 141. Thereby, the reciprocating movement of the actuating portion 151 can bring the material blocking member 140 to reciprocate, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the discharge hole 131. The structure of the striker actuating device 150 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and may be provided as needed.

The cooking appliance 100 may further include a storage bin actuator 160 for driving the storage bin 130 to ascend and descend. The storage bin actuator 160 is disposed on the column 112, and in particular, is located within the column 112. The silo actuating device 160 may include a motor 161 and a threaded post 162 connected to the rotational shaft of the motor 161. The storage bin 130 is provided with a connecting part 134 with a threaded hole 135, and the threaded column 162 is connected in the threaded hole 135 and is in threaded connection with the threaded hole 135. Therefore, the threaded column 162 can be rotated by controlling the motor 161 to drive the connecting portion 134 to move upward or downward, so as to drive the storage bin 130 to move up and down. The structure of the silo actuation device 160 is not limited to the illustrated embodiment and can be configured as desired.

To avoid that the bin 130 rotates with the threaded post 162 when the motor 161 is activated, the upright 112 may comprise a restriction 113, a portion of the bin 130 being located within the restriction 113 to restrict the rotation of the bin 130 in the horizontal direction. The restricting portion 113 may include a guide surface 114 extending in the vertical direction. In particular, the side wall of the upright 112 facing the storage bin 130 has a guide surface 114.
