DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The blanching pot of the present invention is provided with a vertical lifting mechanism to drive the pot 1 of the blanching pot to rise from the initial position to the set position, so that the filter pot 2 containing the food is immersed in the pot 1, so that the food is blanched or fried (it can also be used for frying food). After the processing is completed, the vertical lifting mechanism drives the pot 1 to move down to the initial position. At this time, the linkage mechanism drives the filter pot 2 and the pot cover 3 on the filter pot 2 to move simultaneously: the pot cover 3 is moved backward (with a pressure of 100°). Figure 1 (The paper surface is the reference direction, the direction pointing to the upper right is the front, the opposite is the back, the direction pointing to the upper left is the left, the opposite is the right, and the same below) flip the pot mouth away from the filter pot 2, the filter pot 2 moves forward and flips forward to pour out the food; then, the filter pot 2 moves backward and flips to its original position, and the pot cover 3 is also re-closed on the filter pot 2, which effectively improves work efficiency and automation.

[0027] 1. Rack

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the frame of the blanching pot includes a base plate 51, a top plate 52, a left frame plate 41, a right frame plate 42, a front plate 53, a back plate 54 and a mounting plate 55.

[0029] The left frame plate 41 and the right frame plate 42 have the same structure and the front parts thereof (respectively referred to as the left front frame plate and the right front frame plate 421) are higher than the middle and rear parts (respectively referred to as the left rear frame plate and the right rear frame plate 422), and the bottom edges of the left rear frame plate and the right rear frame plate 422 are respectively connected to the left side and the right side of the base plate 51;

[0030] The bottom edge of the back plate 54 is connected to the rear side edge of the base plate 51, and the left and right sides thereof are fixedly connected to the left and right rear frame plates 422;

[0031] The left and right sides of the front panel 53 are connected to the inner surfaces of the front ends of the corresponding front frames. The height of the front panel 53 is lower than that of the two front frames to avoid scratches or collisions between the outer wall of the filter pot 2 and the front panel 53 when the filter pot 2 moves forward and flips over. The unobstructed area of ​​the front panel 53 can also facilitate users to observe the progress of food processing.

[0032] The mounting plate 55 is perpendicular to the base plate 51, and its bottom edge is connected to the front side edge of the base plate 51. The top of the mounting plate 55 extends upward, and its left and right sides are fixedly connected to the left front frame plate and the right front frame plate 421 respectively.

[0033] The four sides of the top plate 52 are respectively connected to the left rear frame plate, the right rear frame plate 422, the mounting plate 55 and the back plate 54, thereby enclosing a downwardly concave mounting position with the top plate 52 as the bottom surface.

[0034] The area before the mounting plate 55 is a working area, in which the pot 1, filter pot 2 and pot cover 3 cooperate to blanch or fry the food materials, and the area after the mounting plate 55 is used to install the vertical lifting mechanism.

[0035] 2. Cookware 1

[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the cooker 1 is in the shape of a cylinder with an open top, and has a hollow cavity, in which clean water for blanching food or edible oil for frying or deep-frying food is contained.

[0037] A heater is installed at the bottom of the cooker 1 for heating purified water or cooking oil.

[0038] The function of the pot 1 is to move from the lowest initial position to the set position under the drive of the lifting motor 12 in the vertical lifting mechanism. The pot 1 in the set position can cover the filter pot 2 in the cavity to ensure that the food in the filter pot 2 can be completely immersed in boiling water or high-temperature cooking oil; after the food is blanched or fried, the lifting motor 12 drives the pot 1 to move down to the initial position. By setting the pot 1 to lift and cooperate with the filter pot 2 to complete the food processing work, the vertical lifting mechanism can be prevented from carrying a heavy load (the load is the water or oil plus food mentioned in the background technology), thereby extending the service life.

[0039] The cooker 1 is arranged in the working area, and a long strip-shaped connecting block 11 extending from top to bottom is respectively provided at the lower part of the outer peripheral wall thereof opposite to the left front frame plate and the right front frame plate 421. Correspondingly, a long strip-shaped guiding hole 43 is opened on the left and right front frame plates 421. The outer end of the connecting block 11 passes through the corresponding guiding hole 43 outward, and the front end face and the rear end face of the connecting block 11 are in contact with the hole wall of the guiding hole 43 to limit the shaking of the cooker 1 in the front and rear directions. The connecting block 11 is locked and fixed to the positioning frame 13 in the vertical lifting mechanism, so that the cooker 1 is stably installed in the working area.

[0040] The lifting motor 12 is started, driving the positioning frame 13 to drive the connecting block 11 to move up and down with the cookware 1 along the guide hole 43. The positions where the connecting block 11 moves to abut against the lower hole wall and the upper hole wall of the guide hole 43 correspond to the initial position and the set position of the cookware 1 respectively, and the guide hole 43 plays a guiding and limiting role.

[0041] A water hole 16 and an oil hole 17 are provided at the bottom of the cookware 1, which can be controlled to open or close (for example, by a solenoid valve). The water in the cookware 1 can be pumped out through the water hole 16 through a pipeline to the outside of the cookware 1 for replacement, and external clean water can be pumped into the cookware 1 through the water hole 16. Similarly, the edible oil in the cookware 1 can be pumped out through the oil hole 17 for convenient storage or replacement, and the external edible oil can also be pumped into the cookware 1 through the oil hole 17, thereby realizing automatic discharge and injection of water and edible oil.

[0042] Preferably, to ensure that the cookware 1 accurately moves to the initial position or the set position, an upper travel switch and a lower travel switch (not shown in the figure) are respectively installed on the right front frame plate 421 and under the cookware 1. When the cookware 1 descends to the initial position, its bottom triggers the lower travel switch. When the cookware 1 rises to the set position, the top of the right bracket of the positioning frame 13 triggers the upper travel switch. After the corresponding travel switch is triggered, the lifting motor 12 stops driving the cookware 1 to move.

[0043] 3. Vertical lifting mechanism

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vertical lifting mechanism includes the positioning frame 13, the slide rail 14 and the lifting motor 12.

[0045] The positioning frame 13 is connected to a screw rod in the lifting screw rod mechanism, and the lifting motor 12 drives the screw rod to rotate so that the positioning frame 13 and the pot 1 can be lifted or lowered along the slide rail 14 .

[0046] The positioning frame 13 is U-shaped, and is composed of a rear support of an integral structure and a left support and a right support connected to both ends of the rear support.

[0047] The U-shaped opening of the positioning frame 13 faces forward, and its rear bracket is located behind the mounting plate 55. The left bracket and the right bracket respectively pass through the window holes provided on the corresponding rear frame plate and are placed parallel to the outer side of the front frame plate on the same side. The left and right brackets are connected together with the corresponding connecting blocks 11.

[0048] A guide block is fixedly connected to the left side and the right side of the front face of the rear bracket respectively, and a nut is fixedly installed at the middle position of the rear bracket.

[0049] The lower end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the lifting motor 12 installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 51, and the upper end of the screw rod passes through the nut upward and is installed on the top plate 52 through the bearing.

[0050] There are two slide rails 14 , which are respectively vertically inserted into the central channels of the corresponding guide blocks. The upper end and the lower end of the slide rail 14 are respectively fixed to the top plate 52 and the base plate 51 .

[0051] 3. Filter 2

[0052] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the filter pot 2 is an open cylindrical structure and its bottom diameter is smaller than the bottom diameter of the pot 1. The cavity of the filter pot 2 is used to hold food. A plurality of through holes are evenly opened in the lower half of the filter pot 2 to form a hollow shape so that the clean water or cooking oil in the pot 1 can flow into the cavity. The bottom of the filter pot 2 is a closed surface to facilitate the installation of the stirring blade 24 and prevent the stirring blade 24 from sticking to the bottom to turn the food and causing the food to get stuck in the through holes at the bottom.

[0053] The filter pot 2 is installed in the working area through the base plate and pot plate connecting rod mechanism in the linkage mechanism.

[0054] The filter pot 2 is horizontally arranged (at this time, the pot mouth of the filter pot 2 faces upward) directly above the pot 1. When the pot 1 moves upward from the initial position, its pot mouth passes through the bottom of the filter pot 2 until it reaches the upper end of the outer peripheral wall of the filter pot 2, so that the area below the upper end of the filter pot 2 is accommodated in the cavity of the pot 1, so that the food is fully in contact with the purified water or cooking oil in the pot 1, the food is heated more evenly and the efficiency of food processing can be improved;

[0055] Two U-shaped notches are symmetrically provided on the pot mouth of the pot 1, and two convex strips 21 arranged on the outer wall above the upper end of the filter pot 2 are adapted to be mounted on the corresponding notches, which can limit the upward movement of the pot 1, so that the filter pot 2 can be accurately and stably positioned in the pot 1, and the filter pot 2 is more stable when processing food.

[0056] After the food in the filter pot 2 is processed, the pot 1 moves downward. During the downward movement, some water or oil attached to the surface of the food can fall into the pot 1, which can avoid excessive moisture or oil on the surface of the food and affect the subsequent cooking. When the pot 1 moves down to the initial position, the filter pot 2 moves forward under the drive of the two base plates. The forward movement of the base plates simultaneously drives the pot plate connecting rod mechanism to drive the filter pot 2 to flip forward, so that the processed food in the filter pot 2 can be automatically poured out.

[0057] The stirring blade 24 is composed of a horizontal plate and a vertical plate of an integral structure. The horizontal plate is perpendicular to the bottom of the filter pot 2. The inner end of the horizontal plate is connected to the rotating cover 25 in the center of the filter pot 2, and its bottom surface is fitted with the bottom of the filter pot 2. The vertical plate is connected to the outer end of the horizontal plate, and the outer end surface of the vertical plate is adapted to fit the inner wall surface of the filter pot 2, so that the food attached to the bottom and side of the filter pot 2 can be fully moved and turned over, thereby improving the efficiency of blanching or frying the food.

[0058] The rotating cover 25 is sealed against the bottom of the filter pot 2. A transmission cylinder 26 with an opening at the bottom connected to the rotating cover 25 is installed on the bottom outer surface of the filter pot 2. Claws are evenly spaced in the transmission cylinder 26 along its circumferential direction. Correspondingly, a rotating cylinder 15 with hooks corresponding to the claws is installed at the center of the bottom inner surface of the cookware 1. The rotating cylinder 15 is connected to the cookware 1 through a bearing. The rotating cylinder 15 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a rotating motor (not shown in the figure) installed on the bottom outer surface of the cookware 1.

[0059] When the pot 1 moves up to the set position, the hook and the corresponding claw abut against each other in the circumferential direction, the rotary motor drives the drum 15 to rotate, and the drum 15 drives the rotating cover 25 and the stirring blade 24 to rotate, the pot 1 moves down, and the hook is disengaged from the claw, so that the pot 1 and the filter pot 2 are quickly separated.

[0060] 4. Pot cover 3

[0061] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pot cover 3 is in the shape of a cylinder with an opening at the bottom, and the diameter of the opening is larger than the pot mouth diameter of the filter pot 2.

[0062] The pot cover 3 is used to be buckled onto the filter pot 2 when the filter pot 2 is in a horizontal setting state, and the cover plate on the top of the pot cover is closed on the pot mouth of the filter pot 2. The outer peripheral edge of the pot cover 3 overlaps the edge of the pot mouth of the pot 1 when the pot 1 rises to the set position. The pot cover 3 keeps the clean water and edible oil in the pot 1 warm, improves the efficiency of blanching or frying, and can also prevent hot oil from splashing, thereby improving safety.

[0063] When the pot 1 moves down to the initial position, the pot cover 3 is flipped backwards under the drive of the cover plate connecting rod mechanism in the linkage mechanism to break away from the contact with the filter pot 2, and the pot cover 3 is opened.

[0064] 5. Linkage mechanism

[0065] The linkage mechanism is used to drive the filter pot 2 and the pot cover 3 to complete an independent action synchronously and without interfering with each other within the same short period of time: the filter pot 2 moves forward horizontally and then flips forward while moving forward, and the pot cover 3 flips backward from the position covering the filter pot 2 to open; while the filter pot 2 moves backward and flips back to the initial horizontal position, the pot cover 3 flips forward to be re-fastened on the filter pot 2.

[0066] The linkage mechanism of the present invention has not only a simple structure and compact components, but also can effectively save the action time of the pot cover 3 and the filter pot 2, thereby improving work efficiency and automation.

[0067] The linkage mechanism includes the base plate, the pot plate connecting rod mechanism, the cover plate connecting rod mechanism and the translation motor 6.

[0068] 1) Base plate

[0069] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the base plate can move forward or backward under the drive of the translation motor 6, thereby driving the cover plate connecting rod mechanism and the movable pot plate connecting rod mechanism to drive the pot cover 3 and the filter pot 2 to move respectively.

[0070] To improve stability, the base plate is a rectangular flat plate and consists of two pieces, namely a left base plate 61 vertically arranged on the outside of the left frame plate 41 and a right base plate 62 arranged on the outside of the right frame plate 42. The left and right base plates 62 have the same structure and are symmetrically distributed. A guide rail 44 extending from front to rear is respectively installed on the outer surface of the left and right frame plates 42. The left and right base plates 62 are buckled on the corresponding guide rails 44. The two base plates can be driven by the translation motor 6 to move horizontally synchronously in the front and rear directions along the guide rails 44.

[0071] To prevent the left bracket and the right bracket of the mounting frame from being blocked by the base frame plate on the same side when the mounting frame moves upward, the bottom of the base frame plate is arranged above the window hole of the rear frame plate on the same side.

[0072] 2) Translation motor 6

[0073] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to save kinetic energy loss and make the structure compact, the translation motor 6 is one, which is installed on the upper part of the back plate 54, and a bridge frame 63 is horizontally connected between the rear parts of the left and right base plates 62, and the bridge frame 63 is erected on the left and right rear frame plates 422.

[0074] A bridging block is installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the bridge frame 63, and a central hole with an internal thread is opened in the center of the bridging block. The output shaft of the translation motor 6 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the screw in the translation screw transmission mechanism, and the front end of the screw passes through the central hole and is connected to the mounting plate 55.

[0075] 3) Cover plate linkage mechanism

[0076] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cover connecting rod mechanism drives the pot cover 3 to flip backward from the position where it is horizontally fastened on the filter pot 2 (hereinafter referred to as the fastening position) to a set position (hereinafter referred to as the opening position) to complete the automatic opening operation; or, return from the opening position to the fastening position, and its movement trajectory between the fastening position and the opening position is an arc with an obtuse central angle.

[0077] The cover plate connecting rod mechanisms are composed of two groups with the same structure, which are respectively arranged outside the left and right frame plates 42 and are symmetrically distributed.

[0078] Each set of cover plate linkage mechanism is composed of a single link 7, a first shaft and a first pin 73. Taking the cover plate linkage mechanism arranged outside the right frame plate 42 as an example, the installation method between the components is as follows:

[0079] The single connecting rod 7 is composed of a front rod 71 and a rear rod 72 of an integral structure, and the front rod 71 is connected to the pot cover 3. Specifically: when the pot cover 3 is in the buckled position, an elongated connecting rod 31 extending from front to rear is respectively connected to the outer walls opposite to the left and right front frame plates 421, and the front rod 71 is parallel to the connecting rod 31, and the front portion of the front rod 71 passes through an opening provided at the front portion of the left front frame plate and is fixedly connected to the front portion of the connecting rod 31; the rear portion of the front rod 71 (the connecting position of the front rod 71 and the rear rod 72) abuts against the right front frame plate 421, and the through hole provided on the rear portion is opposite to the through holes on the right front frame plate 421 and the rear portion of the connecting rod 31, and they are connected together in a relatively rotatable manner through the first shaft, and the arc-shaped moving trajectory of the pot cover 3 is formed by its rotation around the axis of the first shaft;

[0080] The angle between the rear rod 72 and the front rod 71 of the single link 7 is an obtuse angle. A first through hole 74 in a long strip shape is opened at the rear of the rear rod 72. The first pin 73 is fixedly mounted on the right base plate 62, and the first pin 73 is adapted to be arranged in the first through hole 74.

[0081] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pot cover 3 is in the buckled position, when the translation motor 6 drives the left base plate 61 and the right base plate 62 to move forward:

[0082] The first pin 73 then moves forward from the position abutting against the rear end hole wall of the first through hole 74 and applies a forward thrust to the rear rod 72 of the single link 7, thereby forcing the two single links 7 to flip the pot cover 3 backward from the buckled position. When the two base plates stop moving forward, the pot cover 3 reaches the open position, and the top surface of the connecting rod 31 also abuts against the front surface of the mounting plate 55, which can prevent the pot cover 3 from continuing to flip backward under the action of its own gravity.

[0083] The translation motor 6 rotates in the opposite direction and drives the two base plates to move backward: the first pin 73 moves backward to push the single connecting rod 7 to flip forward from the open position to the closed position.

[0084] 4) Pot plate connecting rod mechanism

[0085] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the pot plate connecting rod mechanism is used to drive the filter pan 2 to move forward a short distance horizontally from the horizontal position (working position) directly above the pot 1 under the drive of the forward movement of the base plate after the food processing is completed and the pot 1 moves down to the initial position, and then flip the filter pan 2 forward while continuing to move forward, so that the pot mouth passes over the front panel 53 and faces the front and lower part (discharging position), so that the food is automatically poured out and falls into the material container; then, the base plate moves backward, thereby driving the pot plate connecting rod mechanism to drive the filter pan 2 to flip backward from the discharging position to the horizontal position with the pot mouth facing directly upward, and then until it reaches the working position as the base plate moves backward.

[0086] The pot plate connecting rod mechanism consists of two groups with the same structure, which are respectively arranged on the left and right base plates 62 and are symmetrical to each other.

[0087] The pot plate connecting rod mechanism is composed of a double connecting rod 8, a second pin 84 and a plurality of shafts. Taking the pot plate connecting rod mechanism arranged on the right side as an example, the installation method between the various components is as follows:

[0088] The double connecting rod 8 is divided into a first connecting rod 81 and a second connecting rod 82 .

[0089] The shape of the first connecting rod 81 is a broken line, which is composed of a front section, a middle section and a rear section connected in sequence. The front section and the rear section are parallel to each other and the internal angle formed with the middle section is an obtuse angle. A front hole is opened on the front section, and a middle hole is opened in the middle front part of the middle section. The front hole and the middle hole are connected to each other to form a V-shaped second through hole 83. A second pin 84 is fixedly installed on the right front frame plate 421, and the second pin 84 is adapted to be inserted into the second through hole 83; the rear part of the middle section is hinged to the second axis fixedly connected to the right base plate 62; the rear part of the rear section and the rear part of the second connecting rod 82 are connected together by a third axis, and the two can rotate with each other.

[0090] The second connecting rod 82 is arranged on the inner side of the first connecting rod 81, and the second connecting rod 82 is in a straight line. In order to make the structure compact, an inwardly concave triangular recess is provided on the outer side surface of the front part of the right base plate 62. The second connecting rod 82 is placed in the recess and its bottom surface is placed on the front side of the recess. The front part of the second connecting rod 82 is hinged to the fourth axis 22 at the rear part of the convex strip 21 fixed to the right side of the filter pot 2, and the fifth axis 23 fixed to the front part of the convex strip 21 and arranged symmetrically with the fourth axis 22 is hinged to the front end of the right base plate 62.

[0091] When the filter pot 2 is in the working position, the front section of the first connecting rod 81 is horizontally arranged in the front-to-back direction, the second pin 84 abuts against the front hole wall of the front hole, and the bottom surface of the second connecting rod 82 is attached to the front side.

[0092] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the left base plate 61 and the right base plate 62 move forward under the drive of the translation motor 6:

[0093] The two base plates drive the corresponding first connecting rods 81 to move forward through the second shaft. Since the front hole is arranged horizontally, the base plate drives the filter pot 2 through the fifth shaft 23 to move forward without being hindered by the second pin 84. Thus, the filter pot 2 keeps moving forward horizontally. This arrangement enables the filter pot 2 to be staggered with the pot cover 3 that is turning backwards, so as to avoid friction or collision between the pot cover 3 and the filter pot 2.

[0094] As the two base plates continue to drive the filter pan 2 forward:

[0095] When the second pin 84 moves into the middle hole, due to the resistance of the second pin 84, the driving force of the forward movement of the base plate forces the first connecting rod 81 to rotate forward (clockwise when viewed from right to left) with the second axis as the axis (the rotation angle is an obtuse angle). The rotation of the first connecting rod 81 drives the second connecting rod 82 to lift upward (referring to the direction away from the front side) through the third axis, so that the second connecting rod 82 drives the filter pot 2 to flip forward with the fourth axis 22 as the axis, until the first connecting rod 81 drives the second connecting rod 82 to fall back and fit on the front side of the recess again, the filter pot 2 has moved forward to its pot mouth placed outside the front panel 53 and the pot mouth is flipped to face the front and lower side, that is, it reaches the discharge position, and the second pin 84 also moves into the front hole.

[0096] When the left base plate 61 and the right base plate 62 move backward under the drive of the translation motor 6:

[0097] The two base plates drive the filter pot 2 to move backward, and at the same time drive the first connecting rod 81 to move backward, so that the second pin 84 moves from the front hole to the middle hole. During the movement, the second pin 84 pushes the first connecting rod 81 to rotate backward, and the first connecting rod 81 drives the second connecting rod 82 to lift upward, and the second connecting rod 82 drives the filter pot 2 to flip backward;

[0098] When the first connecting rod 81 moves to the point where the rear hole wall of the middle hole abuts against the second pin 84, the rearward movement of the base plate causes the second pin 84 to continue to push the first connecting rod 81 to rotate backward in the middle hole. At the same time, the first connecting rod 81 also drives the second connecting rod 82 to begin to fall back downward until the second connecting rod 82 fits on the front side edge of the recess. At this time, the filter pot 2 is flipped to a horizontal setting, and the second pin 84 is also placed at the rear end of the front hole. As the base plate continues to move backward, it drives the filter pot 2 to move horizontally backward to the working position.
