The motor 436 drives the rotating shafts 421 and 434 to rotate together with the shovel 420 through the gear 437, the chain 438, and the gear 435. The motor 432 drives the rotation shafts 431 and 418 to rotate, and drives the connecting bodies 419 and 433 and the shovel 420 to rotate together. The motor 424 drives the rotating shafts 431 and 418 together with the connecting bodies 419 and 433 and the shovel 420 to move up and down along the supports 417 and 430 through the gears 425, 422, 427, the chain 423 and the lead screws 416, 429. The support beam 426 moves along the chute (not numbered) of the pair of chute guide rails 415, 428, and can move the entire turning/containing device out of the pot and back. A computer or other control system controls the above-mentioned devices to move in a combination of motions according to the needs of cooking techniques, which can realize cooking turning actions such as mixing, small turning, large turning, and toggling, as well as lifting, removing, moving in and refilling, etc. action. Displacement, angular displacement and other sensors can be installed to assist the computer in precise control.

[0054] Figure 14 , Figure 15 Shown is another turning and pouring device. The upper curved object 444 and the lower curved object 443 form an ellipsoid-like container when they are closed. The shape of the top and bottom are similar to the bottom of the pot, and they are fixed on the rotating shafts 421 and 434. The motor 436 drives the shafts 421 and 434 to rotate together with the ellipsoid surface through the gear 437, the chain 438, and the gear 435. The motor 432 drives the rotating shafts 431, 418 to rotate, and drives the connecting bodies 419, 433 and the ellipsoid-like surface to rotate together. The motor 424 drives the rotating shafts 431, 418 together with the connecting bodies 419, 433 and the ellipsoid surface to move up and down along the supports 417, 430 through gears 425, 422, 427, chains 423 and lead screws 416, 429. , The support beam 426 moves along the chute (not numbered) of a pair of chute guide rails 415, 428, and the entire turning/containing device can be moved out of the pot and back. When the connecting bodies 419 and 433 remain vertical and the ellipsoid-like objects remain horizontal, they rise along the brackets 417 and 430 until the protrusion 440 is in contact with the meniscus 439, the meniscus 439 is compressed and retracted, and the connecting rod mechanism 441 makes The rack 442 extends forward and meshes with the gear 447 on the upper and lower curved object connecting shaft 445, so that the shaft 445 rotates 90°, the upper curved object 444 opens, and the connecting bodies 419 and 433 continue to rise to the protrusion 440 and the half moon shape When the object 439 is out of contact, the spring 446 resets the half moon 439, and the rack 442 retracts and separates from the gear 447. At this time, the fan-shaped protrusion 448 on the shaft 445 has rotated 90° to the position shown in 449, and the ratchet 450 is rotated to At the position shown by 451, the edge of the fan-shaped protrusion 448 is clamped to prevent it from turning, and the upper curved object remains open. When the connecting bodies 419 and 433 descend, the same action is repeated in reverse, the upper curved object is closed, and the ratchet 453 rotates to the position shown in 452 to keep the upper curved object in a closed state. When the upper curved object does not need to be opened and closed, the connecting bodies 419 and 433 can be deviated from the vertical position by a certain angle before ascending and descending, so that the protrusion 440 and the half moon 439 do not touch during the ascent and descending process, and the ascending and descending process can be maintained. The open or closed state. A computer or other control system controls the above-mentioned device to move in a combination of motions according to the needs of the cooking technique, so as to realize the flipping action and the lifting, moving out, moving in and refilling actions required by various cooking techniques. Displacement, angular displacement and other sensors can be installed to assist the computer in precise control.

[0055] See for clarity Figure 16 As shown, the turning and holding device is installed on the chute guide rail 403, and the motor 401 drives the mild steel wire 402 to pull the tripod 454 fixed on the bracket beam 426 of the turning/loading device to drive the turning/loading device horizontally along the guide rail. Movement, so as to realize the action of moving out of the pot, moving back into the pot, and moving from one pot to another. It can also be set in the same way when there are multiple pots.

[0056] Figure 17 Shown is a flexible structure turning/containing device. The motor 468 drives the shovel 412 through the bevel gears 469 and 470 to rotate around the rotating shaft on the connecting body 410. The motor 457 drives the connecting body 410 together with the shovel 412 to rotate around the shaft on the inner sleeve 460 through the worm wheel 456 and the worm 455. The motor 466 drives the reel 467, rolls and releases the sling 459, and drives the pulley 458 on the inner sleeve 460 to move up and down. The connecting body 410 and the shovel 412 move up and down along the outer sleeve 464 along with the inner sleeve 460. The motor 463 drives the gear 462 on the hanger 465 to rotate, so that the hanger 465 moves along the guide rail 461 together with the inner and outer sleeves, the connecting body and the shovel. The combined movement of the above movements realizes the flipping and pouring movements required by the cooking technique. When interference occurs between the shovel and the pot, the flexible turning/containing device can rise freely as a whole, avoiding the damage of the pot and the shovel due to collision, and at the same time, the shovel can be adapted to pots with different curved surfaces. The motor 455 drives the pot 702 to rotate through the gears 471 and 456 to change the position where the shovel enters, so that the shoveling effect is better.

[0057] Further, an embodiment of an automatic cooking machine equipped with the cooking gas firepower system of the present invention is as follows:

[0058] figure 1 The automatic cooking machine shown is composed of a pot body, a sensor system, gas or electricity, an electromagnetic heating automatic adjustment system, an automatic material delivery system, an automatic turning system of the food to be cooked, an automatic delivery system, and a computer or other control system.

[0059] The sensors 102 and 101 are non-contact sensors. The sensor 102 is installed on the bracket of the material feeding device, and the sensor 101 is installed in the pot cover. It measures the temperature or other parameters of the food in the pot when the pot cover is opened and closed. The computer provides feedback data. The sensor 105 is a contact sensor, which is installed on the shovel mouth of the shovel of the turning/containing device to directly measure parameters such as the temperature of the object to be cooked in the pot and provide feedback data to the computer. The sensor 107 provides feedback data such as gas flow and pressure for the computer. The sensor 106 provides feedback data such as flame temperature for the computer and monitors the flame burning and extinguishing status. The sensor 103 is installed at the material inlet to provide the computer with feedforward data such as the initial temperature of the material. The sensor 104 provides feedforward data such as ambient temperature for the computer. The sensor 108 provides the computer with feedforward data such as the flow rate and pressure of the gas source. Of course, other forms of sensors and sensor systems can also be used as a transformation form of the above-mentioned devices and placed in different positions to achieve the purpose of accurately measuring the heat state of the object to be cooked. These transformation forms fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0060] Still see figure 1 As shown, when using the present invention for cooking, the user first inserts the hot-pressed film 311 of the material packaging box 303 purchased from the market down into the sliding groove 302, and inserts the tongue into the narrow opening of the rotating shaft 305. Then the barcode scanner 304 scans the identification barcode 314 on the packaging box 303, and transmits the identification information to the control computer, which calls the corresponding cooking software from the storage device or the network. When cooking starts, the computer sends a signal to open the solenoid valve 204, and the gas enters the gas automatic adjustment system 203 through the solenoid valve 204 from the intake pipe 202. The computer controls the rotation of the motor 205 to adjust the gas flow according to the feedforward data provided by the sensors 104 and 108. Gas flows into the combustion base 501 from the gas outlet pipe 201, and the automatic ignition device 502 ignites the flame. The computer then controls the gas flow and the operation of each system according to the feedforward data provided by the sensors 103, 104 and 108 and the feedback data provided by the sensors 101, 102, 105, 106 and 107. When the material needs to be fed, the motor drives the rotating shaft 305 to rotate, and the hot-pressed film 311 is rolled to separate it from the packaging box 303, and the material falls into the pot 702 from the opening. There are three compartments in the heatable and heat-preserving container 308, which respectively store oil, water and soup. The triple solenoid valve 307 controls the opening and closing of the oil, water and soup three grids respectively. Oil, water and soup can be injected into the pot through the triple pipe 306 respectively. The groove 302 and the pot cover 701 are installed on the rotating shaft 301. As shown in the figure, when feeding, the automatic feeding system is in the lower position, and the lid is in the upper position. When the pot lid needs to be covered, the motor 414 drives the shaft 301 to rotate to turn the pot lid downward. The motor 404 drives the shaft 301 downwards along the bracket 408 through the chain 413, gear 406, and lead screw 407 to send the material automatic feeding system to the most suitable feeding position or cover the pot. When the feeding is completed or the lid needs to be opened, The shaft 301 moves upward to make room for the turning/containing device to work. The shovel 412, as described above, is controlled by a computer or other control system, by rotating around the axis 411, rotating together with the connecting body 410 around the axis 409 and moving up and down along the bracket 405 to achieve the required turning and cooking techniques. Sheng out of action. Need to move the turning/containing device out of the pot or back. The motor 401 drives the bracket 405 to move along the chute guide rail 403 through the mild steel wire 402. 603 is a computer control system panel, 602 is an optical drive, 604 is an input keyboard, and 601 is a display. 703 is a range hood.

[0061] Gas or electric, electromagnetic heating automatic adjustment system can be such as figure 2 The flow regulating type gas automatic regulating device shown. The gas enters from the air inlet 206, passes through the orifice 207, the throttle opening on the valve core 210, and the orifice 209, and flows out from the air outlet 216. The motor 205 under the control of the computer rotates in and out in the axial direction through the gears 213 and 214 to drive the shaft 212, and the valve core 210 is pushed to move axially by the push rod 211 to change the cross-sectional area of ​​the valve core orifice to achieve The purpose of adjusting the flow. The valve core 210 always abuts against the push rod 211 under the thrust of the spring 217. The sensor 215 measures the linear and angular displacement of the shaft 212, and the sensor 208 measures the gas flow at the outlet, and provides feedback data for the computer to accurately control the gas flow.

[0062] Gas or electricity, electromagnetic heating automatic adjustment system can also be such as image 3 The pressure-regulated gas automatic regulating device shown. The gas enters from the air inlet 223, enters the sensitive cavity 225 at the lower end of the valve core through the radial holes 224 and the axial small holes 226 on the valve core 229, and generates an upward thrust on the valve core. When there is no gas entering, or when the gas just starts to enter and the pressure is low, the upward thrust is not enough to overcome the force of the spring 230, and the valve core is at the lowermost position, blocking the air inlet 223 and the air outlet 227, and the valve port is closed. With the continuous inflow of gas, the inlet air pressure continues to increase, and the air pressure in the cavity 225 also increases. When the air pressure in the cavity 225 increases to greater than the force of the spring 230, the valve core 229 is lifted and stops at a certain equilibrium. Location. At this time, the air inlet 223 and the air outlet 227 are connected, and the gas flows out from the air outlet 227. The air pressure of the cavity 225 no longer rises, and is balanced with the force of the spring 230 at this time. The motor 218 under the control of a computer or other control system rotates in and out in the axial direction through the gears 220, 221 and the drive shaft 222 to change the pretension force of the spring 230, thereby adjusting the air pressure to lift the valve core. The sensor 219 measures the linear displacement and angular displacement of the shaft 222, and the sensor 228 measures the outlet gas pressure and provides feedback data for the computer to accurately control the gas pressure.

When in use, the hot pressing film sealing surface of the plastic box is facing downward, and the elongated protrusion 312 formed on the edge of the box opening of the plastic box is pushed into the groove 302 so that it can slide along the groove. The tongue 310 is inserted into the elongated opening 315 on the rotating shaft 305 so that the spring pressing piece 316 catches the strip protrusion 309. The barcode scanner 304 automatically scans the identification barcode 314 on the package, and transmits the information to the computer, and the computer calls the corresponding cooking software from the memory or the network according to the identification information. When the material is put in, the computer or other control system controls the motor 317 to drive the rotating shaft 305 to rotate, so that the hot pressing film 311 is separated from the plastic box body 303, the box body slides forward, and the box material falls into the pot below the box. The computer controls the rotating shaft 305 to stop rotating at an appropriate position, and the separation of the hot pressing film 311 and the box body 303 stops at the edge between the grids 313, so that only the material that needs to be put in this time is put into the pot.

The barcode scanner 304 automatically scans the identification barcode 314 on the package, and transmits the information to the computer, and the computer calls the corresponding cooking software from the memory or the network according to the identification information. When the material is put in, the computer-controlled motor 317 drives the rotating shaft 305 to rotate, so that the take-up and take-up wheel 324 rolls and pulls the soft steel wire 321, and the block 323 prevents the box body 303 from moving forward. The push-pull box cover 318 slides forward, and the plastic box The box body 303 is separated, and the materials in the box fall into the pot below the box through the opening at the rear of the box. The computer or other control system controls the rotating shaft 305 to stop rotating at an appropriate position, and the rear edge of the box cover 318 stops at the edge between the grids, so that only the material that needs to be put in this time is put into the pot. Displacement, angular displacement and other sensors can be installed to assist the computer in precise control.
