Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a powder discharging assembly and powder food material processing equipment, which at least can solve the technical problem that powder is easy to store when the powder discharging device discharges powder to a certain extent.

In the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, a powder discharging assembly 10 is provided, which is used for automatically discharging powder food materials stored in a certain container, and can be specifically applied to powder food material processing equipment such as a coffee machine, a milk powder machine and the like. Referring to fig. 1, an exploded view of the powder discharge assembly 10 is shown. The powder discharging assembly 10 includes a base 100, a powder channel 200, a powder blocking member 300, an elastic member 400, and an opening and closing mechanism 500. Referring to fig. 2 and 4, the base 100 is provided with a mounting opening 101 and a receiving area 102, a powder outlet end of the powder channel 200 is mounted in the mounting opening 101, the powder blocking member 300 is arranged on the outer side of the powder channel 200, the opening and closing mechanism 500 is arranged on the base 100, the opening and closing mechanism 500 comprises a driving member 510 and a powder bin door 520 movably arranged in the receiving area 102, and the powder bin door 520 is driven by the driving member 510 and can move relative to the receiving area 102, so that the powder outlet end of the powder channel 200 is blocked or opened. Wherein, in the process that the powder bin gate 520 moves to the position for blocking the powder outlet end of the powder channel 200, the powder bin gate 520 pushes the powder blocking piece 300 to overcome the gravity and move towards the opposite direction of the powder outlet direction; in the case that the powder hopper door 520 is slid to a position where the powder outlet end of the powder duct 200 is opened, the powder blocking member 300 is at least blocked at a side far from the powder hopper door 520 in the accommodating area 102 under the self weight.

Specifically, in the powder discharging assembly 10, the powder bin gate 520 of the opening and closing mechanism 500 is driven by the driving member 510 to move in the base 100 along a direction that is set at an angle to the powder discharging direction, specifically, can slide, rotate or turn over, and can play a role in blocking or opening the powder discharging end of the powder channel 200. In order to ensure the plugging effect, in some embodiments, a mode of setting the moving direction of the powder bin gate 520 perpendicular to the powder discharging direction is adopted, and since the moving direction of the powder bin gate 520 is determined by the accommodating area 102, correspondingly, the setting direction of the accommodating area 102 is also perpendicular to the powder discharging direction.

The accommodating area 102 may be set as an area where the powder bin gate 520 is installed and moved, where the powder bin gate 520 is always located in the accommodating area 102, for example, the powder bin gate 520 is a chute provided in the base 100, where the powder bin gate 520 slides in the chute, and the chute limits the powder bin gate 520 when the powder bin gate 520 seals the powder outlet end of the powder channel 200 on one hand, and plays a certain guiding role for sliding of the powder bin gate 520 on the other hand. The accommodating area 102 may also be set as an area into which the powder bin gate 520 partially extends, when the powder bin gate 520 seals the powder outlet end of the powder channel 200, the powder bin gate 520 at least partially extends into the accommodating area 102 to limit the powder bin gate 520, so that the powder bin gate 520 is prevented from deforming under the accumulation pressure of the powder in the powder channel 200, and a gap is formed between the powder bin gate 520 and the powder channel 200.

Referring to fig. 1 and 6, in some embodiments, an elastic member 400 is provided in the powder discharge assembly 10, the elastic member 400 acts on the base 100 and the powder blocking member 300 to apply a force to the powder blocking member 300 toward the powder discharge direction,

further, in the powder discharging assembly 10 provided in some embodiments, the powder blocking member 300 is disposed at the outer side of the powder channel 200, and the elastic member 400 is disposed to apply a force to the powder blocking member 300 toward the powder discharging direction, when the powder bin door 520 slides to a position for opening the powder discharging end of the powder channel 200, the powder bin door 520 is dislocated from the powder discharging end of the powder channel 200 so as to avoid the movable space for discharging the powder blocking member 300, and the powder blocking member 300 moves along the powder discharging direction under the action of the elastic member 400 and is at least blocked and arranged at one side, far away from the powder bin door 520, of the accommodating area 102, so that powder cannot enter the space, far away from the powder bin door 520, of the accommodating area 102, thereby solving the powder hiding problem. That is, the powder blocking member 300 needs to be at least blocked on the side of the accommodating area 102 far from the powder bin gate 520, mainly because the powder falls on the side of the accommodating area 102 far from the powder bin gate 520, and along with the continuous movement of the powder bin gate 520, the powder can be accumulated in a large amount, so that the door closing movement is blocked, and even the door closing is not tight, the powder is damped and mildewed. And powder that drifts on the side of the containment region 102 adjacent the powder door 520 is forced out of the containment region 102 by the movement of the powder door 520. To better prevent powder from drifting into the receiving area 102, in some embodiments, the powder shutter 300 is moved in the powder discharge direction by the elastic member 400 while being stopped at a side of the receiving area 102 near the powder door 520 and a side far from the powder door 520.
