For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The specific implementation of the present invention is described in more detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0035] See also Figure 1-3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic feeding mechanism for feeding food into a feeding port, wherein the feeding port is arranged upward. The automatic feeding mechanism includes a rotary drive component 100, a food storage component 200 and a food isolation component 300.

[0036] The rotary drive assembly 100 includes a rotary member 110 disposed at the edge of the feed inlet and a rotary driver connected to the rotary member 110 and used to drive the rotary member 110 to rotate around a rotation axis. It should be noted that the rotary drive assembly 100 is disposed above the feed inlet, wherein at least one rotary driver is provided and fixedly disposed relative to the feed inlet and connected to the end side of the rotary member 110. Driven by the rotary driver, the rotary member 110 will perform a rotational motion around the rotation axis, that is, perform a rotational motion around the central axis of the rotary member 110.

[0037] The food storage component 200 is made of a soft material and is used to hold food. The food storage component 200 is connected to the rotating member 110 and can be rolled up by the rotating member 110 when the rotating member 110 rotates in the forward direction. It should be noted that the food storage component 200 is made of a soft material, which should have a certain elasticity and be bendable. Preferably, the food storage component 200 can be a food storage component 200 made of silicone. It should also be noted that under the drive of the rotary driver, the rotating member 110 rotates in one direction, and the food storage component 200 connected to the rotating member 110 will be driven by the rotating member 110 and rolled around the outer periphery of the rotating member 110 section by section. Here, the above content is explained with reference to the embodiment shown in the figure. Please refer to Figure 4 Driven by the rotary driver, the rotating member 110 will rotate in the counterclockwise direction shown in the figure. At this time, the food storage component 200 will be driven by the rotating member 110 to be wound around the outer periphery of the rotating member 110 in sections in the counterclockwise direction, and its cross-sectional shape is roughly spiral.

[0038] The food isolation component 300 is arranged on the upper side of the food storage component 200, and the food isolation component 300 is provided with at least one isolation groove 301 which is arranged through the upper side thereof, and the inner side wall of the isolation groove 301 and the upper side of the food storage component 200 are enclosed together to form a storage space for isolating and holding food. It should be noted that before the food storage component 200 is rolled up by the rotating member 110, the inner side wall of the isolation groove 301 and the upper side of the food storage component 200 will be enclosed to form an open storage space that can be used to isolate and hold food. In actual use scenarios, users can add or subtract food from the upper opening of the isolation groove 301 at any time according to their personal taste habits. It should also be noted that the food placed in the isolation groove 301 on the side close to the rotating member 110 will fall into the material port before the isolation groove 301 on the side away from the rotating member 110. Therefore, the order of placing food can be controlled by setting the food isolation component 300.

[0039] The food storage component 200 can drive the food and the food isolation component 300 to move to the top of the feed inlet when the food storage component 200 is rolled up by the rotating member 110 .

[0040] Specifically, the operation process of the automatic feeding mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: before the rotary drive is started, the inner wall of the isolation groove 301 and the upper side of the food storage component 200 are enclosed to form an open storage space for isolating and holding food. At this time, the user can put various food into the storage space from the upper opening of the isolation groove 301 according to personal taste, and the user can also adjust the food in the storage space at any time; then, the rotary drive is started, and under the driving action of the rotary drive, the rotating member 110 performs positive rotational motion along its rotation axis, and driven by the rotating member 110, the food storage component 200 is rolled up on the outer peripheral side of the rotating member 110 section by section; when the food storage component 200 is driven by the rotary drive, the rotating member 110 rotates in the forward direction along its rotation axis. During the winding process of the rotating member 110, the food placed on the food storage component 200 and the food isolation component 300 will move in the direction toward the rotating member 110 driven by the food storage component 200, and move to the top of the feed port. Since the food isolation component 300 only has an isolation effect on the food but no supporting effect, when the supporting force of the food storage component 200 is lost, the food will fall into the feed port under the action of gravity, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation of the food; after all the food has been fed in, that is, after a work process of the automatic feeding mechanism is completed, the food storage component 200 wound up on the outer periphery of the rotating member 110 can be unfolded to restore it to its original state, thereby realizing recycling.

[0041] The automatic feeding mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention forms an open food storage space through the food isolation component 300 and the food storage component 200, so that the user can adjust the food according to personal taste at any time; the food storage component 200 made of soft material is driven to gradually roll up on the rotating component 110 by the rotating component 110, and in the process of the food storage component 200 being rolled up by the rotating component 110, the food storage component 200 drives the food and the food isolation component 300 to move to the top of the feed port together, wherein the food will fall into the feed port under the action of gravity due to the loss of the support of the food storage component 200, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of food. When used next time, the automatic feeding mechanism only needs to unfold the food storage component 200 rolled up on the rotating component 110 to perform the automatic feeding operation again, which has the advantages of being recyclable and environmentally friendly.

[0042] See also Figure 3-5In the present embodiment, the food storage assembly 200 includes a solid material storage part 210 for storing solid food, a liquid material storage part 220 connected to the solid material storage part 210 and for storing liquid food, two winding connecting parts 230 arranged at intervals and both connected to the side of the solid material storage part 210 away from the liquid material storage part 220, and an isolating connecting part 240 arranged on the side of the liquid material storage part 220 away from the solid material storage part 210, the liquid material storage part 220 has a liquid material storage cavity 221 with an upper opening, the winding connecting part 230 is used to be connected to the rotating part 110, and the isolating connecting part 240 is used to be detachably connected to the food isolation assembly 300. It should be noted here that, in the present embodiment, the solid material storage part 210 is arranged flat and thin, and can be used to support and place various solid food materials, such as salt, monosodium glutamate, etc.; and the liquid material storage part 220 is arranged in a barrel shape, and its liquid material storage cavity 221 can be used to store liquid food materials, such as oil, soy sauce, etc.; according to conventional cooking habits, in the present embodiment, the solid material storage part 210 is arranged close to the rotating part 110, and the liquid material storage part 220 is arranged away from the rotating part 110, but it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention, and such an arrangement is also conducive to the implementation of the winding operation of the food storage component 200. Specifically, in the process of the food storage component 200 being rolled up by the rotating member 110, the solid material storage member 210 is rolled up section by section on the outer periphery of the rotating member 110, so that the solid food placed thereon falls into the feed port in sequence, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation of the solid food; and after the solid material storage member 210 is completely rolled up by the rotating member 110, driven by the rotating member 110, the side of the liquid material storage member 220 close to the rotating member 110 will tilt downward, so that a height difference is formed between the side close to the rotating member 110 and the side away from the rotating member 110, so that the liquid food is poured into the feed port, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation of the liquid food. By providing the solid material storage component 210 and the liquid material storage component 220, not only can the range of food selection of the automatic feeding mechanism be expanded to make it more versatile, but also the full automation and accuracy of its food feeding can be guaranteed. The provision of the liquid material storage component 220 can also prevent the liquid food from leaking before it reaches the top of the feeding port, thereby making the automatic feeding mechanism have a better automatic food feeding effect.

[0043] It should also be noted that the connection between the rotating member 110 and the food storage assembly 200 can be achieved through the winding connection member 230, which is conducive to the implementation of the operation of the rotating member 110 to wind up the food storage assembly 200, and further ensures the delivery effect of the automatic feeding mechanism; the connection between the food storage assembly 200 and the food isolation assembly 300 can be achieved through the isolation connection member 240, so that in the process of the food storage assembly 200 being wound up by the rotating member 110, the synchronous movement performance between the food isolation assembly 300 and the food is guaranteed, and the food isolation assembly 300 is prevented from hindering the delivery of food. In addition, in the present embodiment, by providing the isolating connecting member 240, the height of the liquid material storage member 220 on the side away from the rotating member 110 can be guaranteed, ensuring that a certain height difference is formed between the liquid material storage member 220 and the side close to the rotating member 110, thereby facilitating the delivery of liquid food. At the same time, it can also prevent the liquid material storage member 220 from being rolled up by the rotating member 110, thereby causing the food storage component 200 to be completely rolled up, which is not conducive to the subsequent recovery and reuse of the food storage component 200. That is, by providing the isolating connecting member 240, the service life of the food storage component 200 can be extended to a certain extent.

[0044] See also Figure 3 , 5-6, in this embodiment, the winding connection member 230 is provided with a winding connection groove 231 which is arranged through it on its side, and the automatic feeding mechanism also includes a rotating clamping member 400 for connecting the rotating member 110 and the food storage assembly 200, and the rotating clamping member 400 includes two rotating connection parts 410 which are connected to each other and used to be sleeved with the winding connection groove 231, and two rotating clamping parts 420 which are respectively connected to the other side of the rotating connection part 410 and are used to clamp and fix the rotating member 110. It should be noted here that, preferably, two winding connection members 230 are provided, and in this embodiment, the winding connection groove 231 is arranged in a crescent shape, so that it is convenient to realize the winding operation of the food storage assembly 200 and avoid the food storage assembly 200 from slipping. Correspondingly, in this embodiment, the rotating connection part 410 is arranged in an arc shape. When connecting, the reeling connection groove 231 with a certain elasticity can be expanded, and then the rotating clamping member 400 can be inserted into the reeling connection groove 231, and the rotating connection part 410 can be accurately aligned with the reeling connection part 230. After the reeling connection part 230 recovers its elastic deformation, it will be tightly connected with the rotating connection part 410, and then the connection between the rotating clamping member 400 and the rotating member 110 can be achieved through the rotating clamping part 420, so that the food storage component 200 and the rotating member 110 can be tightly connected. Therefore, based on the setting of the rotating clamping member 400, not only can the tight connection between the food storage component 200 and the rotating member 110 be achieved, but also the friction between the food storage component 200 and the rotating member 110 can be enhanced to ensure the synchronization of their rotation, thereby further ensuring the smooth development of the reeling operation of the food storage component 200 and avoiding the mutual slipping between the food storage component 200 and the rotating member 110.

[0045] It is additionally noted that the difference between the outer diameter of the rotating connection part 410 and the outer diameter of the rotating clamping part 420 is equal to the thickness of the solid material storage part 210. Based on the above structure, the food storage assembly 200 can be rolled up on the outer periphery of the rotating member 110, thereby further ensuring the smooth development of the rolling operation of the food storage assembly 200.

[0046] See also Figure 1-3In the present embodiment, the food isolation assembly 300 includes a food isolation piece 310 and isolation supports 320 connected to both sides of the food isolation piece 310. The two isolation supports 320 are used together to support the food isolation piece 310. The food isolation piece 310 is provided with at least one isolation groove 301 which is arranged through it on its upper side surface. The inner side wall of the isolation groove 301 and the upper side surface of the solid material storage piece 210 are jointly enclosed to form a solid material storage space for isolating and storing solid food. It should be noted here that, by setting the isolation support member 320, a supporting effect can be played on the food isolation member 310. On the one hand, without affecting the isolation effect of the food isolation member 310, it can prevent the weight of the food isolation member 310 from forming a downward pressure on the food storage component 200, thereby causing the food storage component 200 to sag, thereby causing the food to be easily mixed, which will be detrimental to the isolation and storage of the food; on the other hand, when the food storage component 200 is rolled up by the rotating member 110, and when the food isolation component 300 is moved driven by the food storage component 200, the food isolation member 310 can be suspended relative to the feed port, so as to avoid any negative impact of the food isolation component 300 on the cooking of the food, and facilitate the resetting operation of the food isolation component 300.

[0047] See also Figure 2-3 5. In this embodiment, the isolation connector 240 is provided with an isolation fixing groove 241 on its upper side, and the isolation fixing groove 241 is also provided with at least one group of isolation fixing protrusions 242 on its two opposite inner side walls. The food isolation assembly 300 also includes an isolation plug-in 330 connected to the side of the food isolation assembly 310 away from the rotating member 110. The isolation plug-in 330 is plugged into the isolation fixing groove 241, and the isolation fixing protrusion 242 is used to abut and fix the isolation plug-in 330 when the isolation plug-in 330 is inserted into the isolation fixing groove 241. It should be noted that the stable connection between the food isolation assembly 300 and the food storage assembly 200 can be achieved through the plug-in cooperation between the isolation plug-in 330 and the isolation fixing groove 241, so that the synchronous movement performance between the food isolation assembly 300 and the food can be guaranteed during the process of the food storage assembly 200 being rolled up by the rotating member 110, and the food is prevented from being mixed up, and the food isolation assembly 300 hinders the delivery of the food. By means of the limiting and supporting effect of the isolation fixing protrusion 242 on the isolation connector 330 inserted into the isolation fixing groove 241, the stability of the connection between the food isolation component 300 and the food storage component 200 can be further ensured, thereby preventing the isolation connector 330 from being separated from the isolation fixing groove 241 when the food storage component 200 is rolled up by the rotating member 110.

[0048] See also Figure 1-3In this embodiment, the automatic feeding mechanism also includes a bottom support member 500 for supporting the food storage assembly 200. The bottom support member 500 is arranged on the other side of the food storage assembly 200 away from the food isolation assembly 300, and is relatively fixedly arranged with respect to the rotating member 110. It should be noted here that the bottom support member 500 is relatively fixedly arranged with respect to the feed inlet and the rotating member 110. Before the food and the food isolation assembly 300 arrive at the feed inlet, the bottom support member 500 can support the food storage assembly 200, the food and the food isolation assembly 300. The arrangement of the bottom support member 500 can mainly help to ensure the stability of the soft food storage assembly 200, avoid the food storage assembly 200 from sinking, thereby ensuring the stability of the food placed thereon, and avoid the mixing of the food, thereby facilitating the isolated storage of the food.

[0049] See also Figure 2-3 7. In this embodiment, the bottom support member 500 includes a bottom support body 510 for supporting the food storage assembly 200 and a bottom protection structure 520 connected to the peripheral side of the bottom support body 510. The bottom protection structure 520 is used to limit the position and protect the food storage assembly 200 and the food isolation assembly 300 when the bottom support body 510 supports the food storage assembly 200 and the food isolation assembly 300. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the bottom support body 510 is arranged in a plate shape. Except for the side opposite to the rotating member 110, the other three sides of the bottom support body 510 are connected with the bottom protection structure 520. Based on the above structure, the peripheral side of the food storage assembly 200 and the food isolation assembly 300 can be protected by the bottom protection structure 520 without affecting the implementation of the operation of the food storage assembly 200 being rolled up by the rotating member 110, so as to prevent the food on the food storage assembly 200 from tipping over before reaching the feed inlet, especially to prevent the leakage of liquid food. By setting the bottom protection structure 520, the winding direction of the food storage component 200 and the moving direction of the food isolation component 300 can be guided during the process of the food storage component 200 being wound by the rotating part 110, thereby avoiding lateral movement of the food storage component 200 and the food isolation component 300, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the automatic feeding mechanism to a certain extent.

[0050] See also Figure 2-37. In this embodiment, the bottom support body 510 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and the side of the bottom support body 510 facing the rotating member 110 is higher than the side of the bottom support body 510 away from the rotating member 110. It should be noted that the end of the bottom support body 510 close to the rotating member 110 is higher than the end away from the rotating member 110, which can prevent the food from falling toward the rotating member 110, especially prevent the liquid food in the liquid food storage part 220 disposed on the side away from the rotating member 110 from leaking.

[0051] See also Figure 2-3 7. In this embodiment, a plurality of friction protrusions 511 arranged in a rectangular array are provided on the bottom support body 510, and the friction protrusions 511 are used to enhance the friction between the food storage assembly 200 and the bottom support body 510. It should be noted that the friction between the food storage assembly 200 and the bottom support body 510 can be enhanced by providing the friction protrusions 511, so as to prevent the food storage assembly 200 made of soft material from being vacuum-adsorbed on the bottom support body 510, thereby facilitating the implementation of the rolling operation of the food storage assembly 200.

[0052] The automatic feeding mechanism provided by the embodiment of the present invention forms an open food storage space through the food isolation component 300 and the food storage component 200, so that the user can adjust the food according to personal taste at any time; the food storage component 200 made of soft material is driven to gradually roll up on the rotating component 110 by the rotating component 110, and in the process of the food storage component 200 being rolled up by the rotating component 110, the food storage component 200 drives the food and the food isolation component 300 to move to the top of the feed port together, wherein the food will fall into the feed port under the action of gravity due to the loss of the support of the food storage component 200, thereby realizing the automatic feeding of food. When used next time, the automatic feeding mechanism only needs to unfold the food storage component 200 rolled up on the rotating component 110 to perform the automatic feeding operation again, which has the advantages of being recyclable and environmentally friendly.

[0053] An embodiment of the present invention further provides an intelligent cooking device, which includes a cooking mechanism having an upwardly disposed feeding port, and also includes the above-mentioned automatic feeding mechanism.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
