detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

1 through 3 schematically illustrate an automatic cutlery box in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the apparatus includes a storage bin 1, an access device 2, and an access bin 3.

The storage bin 1 is located above the take-up bin 3 and is in communication with the take-off bin 3. The storage bin 1 is provided with a cutlery tank 11 for storing a plurality of stacked cutlery 4.

The shape of the cutlery tank 11 coincides with the shape of the cutlery 4 stored therein. The hand-held portion of the cutlery 4 in the cutlery tray 11 is exposed outside the automatic cutlery box. The hand-held part generally does not directly enter, and can be closed without the box body, so that not only the volume of the automatic cutlery box is reduced, but also the tableware is more convenient.

A stopper baffle 14 for preventing the tableware 4 stacked inside thereof from sliding along its length is also provided in the dish tank 11.

A support plate 12 is provided at a lower portion of the cutlery tank 11. A moving groove 13 communicating with the take-up compartment 3 is provided above the top end of the receiving plate 12.

The pick-up device 2 is located on the bottom side of the cutlery tank 11. The pick-up device 2 includes a paddle 21 and a pusher blade 22 connected to the paddle 21. The pick-up piece 21 extends out of the automatic cutlery box, the pick-up device 2 is connected to the elastic device, and the take-up compartment 3 has a access opening 31. In the present embodiment, the elastic means is a spring 23.

The thickness of the pusher piece 22 is equivalent to the thickness of the cutlery 4, and when the paddle 22 is pressed once, a tableware 4 can be produced, which is very convenient.

The pick-up device 2 is located on the side of the hand piece of the cutlery 4 in the cutlery tank 11. Thereby, the hand piece of the tableware 4 can be slid outward to the take-up bin 3, and the hand of the customer can be prevented from directly contacting the head of the tableware 4.

A rear pallet 19 is provided on a side of the cutlery tank 11 opposite to the take-up device 2. The head top of the cutlery 4 and the top end of the handpiece are supported on the back rest 19 and the support plate 12, respectively.

When the paddle 21 is moved by hand, the pusher piece 22 is moved against the tableware 4 in the dish slot 11 against the elastic force of the spring 23, and is in contact with the lowermost one of the dishes 4 in the dish slot 11, and the pusher piece 22 continues to move. The tableware 4 that pushes against the top is moved along the support plate 12 to the moving groove 13, and the tableware 4 slides out of the range of the receiving plate 12 and then falls into the take-up bin 3, and finally the tableware 4 can be taken from the access port 31. When the paddle 21 is released, the pusher piece 22 is reset by the elastic force of the spring 23, and leaves the dishware groove 11, and the tableware 4 in the dishware tank 11 naturally falls onto the support plate 12 by gravity.

According to the automatic cutlery box of the above technical solution, a plurality of cutlery 4 can be stacked in the cutlery tank 11. When the cutlery 4 is taken, only the picks 21 need to be moved, and the required cutlery 4 will be removed from the cutlery tank 11. After falling into the take-up bin 3, it can be conveniently taken out from the access port 31, thereby preventing the customer from contacting the other cutlery 4 in the cutlery tank 11. The automatic cutlery box is not only neat and clean.

In other embodiments, the elastic means may also be a spring piece or an elastic strip. The paddle 21 can also be driven by an electric device. The electric device can be activated by an inductive device or by a push switch to drive the paddles 21 so that the cutlery 4 falls from the cutlery tank 11 into the take-up bin 3.

In still other embodiments, the paddles 21 may also be disposed at the periphery of the access opening 31. Thereby, the paddle 21 can be dialed by the tableware 4 taken out from the access opening 31, and after the tableware 4 is taken out, the other tableware 4 can be automatically dropped into the take-up bin 3 to be taken.

Example 2

Figure 4 is a schematic illustration of a cutlery in an automatic cutlery box in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the difference from the first embodiment is that the hand piece of the cutlery 4 is provided with a card slot 41. By inserting the stopper baffle into the card slot 41, it is possible to effectively prevent the tableware 4 from sliding back and forth.

Example 3

5 through 7 schematically illustrate an automatic cutlery box in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the difference from the first embodiment is that the pick-up device 2 is located at the bottom of the cutlery tank 11 and is horizontally slidable, and the pick-up device 2 is provided with a first pallet 2a and a second pallet 2.

The first pallet 2a is located at the bottom of the cutlery tank 11 and is used to support the cutlery 4 in the cutlery tank 11.

The first pallet 2a and the second pallet 2b are offset from each other and the distance between the two in the vertical direction is equivalent to the thickness of the tableware 4. The pick-up device 2 is connected to the spring 23.

When the pick-up device 2 is slid, the pick-up device 2 moves horizontally against the elastic force of the spring 23, the first pallet 2a moves outside the dishware slot 11, and the second pallet 2b moves into the dishboard groove 11. When the first pallet 2a leaves the cutlery tank 11, the lowermost one of the cutlery 4 supported on the first pallet 2a loses its support and falls into the take-up bin, and finally the cutlery can be taken from the access opening. At the same time, the second pallet 2b enters the cutlery tank 11 for temporarily supporting the cutlery 4 in the cutlery tank 11. When released, the take-up device 2 is reset by the action of the spring 23, and the first pallet 2a enters. The cutlery tank 11 and the second pallet 2b are separated from the cutlery tank 11, and the cutlery 4 in the cutlery tank 11 is re-supported on the first pallet 2a.

In other embodiments, the elastic means may also be a spring piece or an elastic strip. The pick-up device 2 can also be driven by an electric device. The electric device can be activated by an inductive device or by a push switch to drive the exhalation device 2 to cause the cutlery 4 to fall from the cutlery tank 11 into the take-up bin.

In still other embodiments, the access device 2 can also be disposed at the periphery of the access opening. By This can be moved by the tableware 4 taken out from the access opening, and after the tableware 4 is taken out, the other tableware 4 can be automatically dropped into the access bin to be taken.

Example 4

Fig. 8 schematically shows an automatic cutlery box in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that the storage compartment 1 is provided with three dishware slots 11, and one automatic tableware box can be obtained by using three kinds of tableware such as a knife, a fork or a spoon.

In other embodiments, two, four or more cutlery tanks 11 may also be provided as needed to store one or more cutlery.

What has been described above is only some embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
