[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 9 , which is an embodiment of the present invention, specifically:

[0028] A cooking robot includes a cooking robot pot cleaning system and a cooking container. The cooking robot pot cleaning system includes a panel 701, a water collecting tray 702 with an upward opening connected to the panel 701, at least one water spray nozzle 703 with an upward opening connected to the water collecting tray 702, and a first drain port 704 is provided in the water collecting tray 702.

[0029] The cooking robot is provided with a flipping mechanism, and the cooking container is connected to the flipping mechanism. The flipped cooking container is located on the upper side of the water collecting tray 702, and the opening of the cooking container is downward. A water spray nozzle 703 is connected with a high-pressure water pump, and water is sprayed upward from the water spray nozzle 703 to the inside of the cooking container. The cooking container is cleaned under the flushing of water, and the cleaned water falls into the water collecting tray 702, and the water is discharged through the first drain port 704, thereby realizing the function of automatically cleaning the cooking container.

[0030] In this embodiment, the water collecting tray 702 is arranged below the panel 701, and the lower side of the panel 701 is connected with a left and right linear driving device 705, and the water collecting tray 702 is connected to the driving end of the left and right linear driving device 705, and the left and right linear driving device 705 is arranged on the front or rear side of the water collecting tray 702, and the front and rear sides of the water collecting tray 702 are both connected to the panel 701 for guiding, and the panel 701 is provided with a cleaning port 706, and the cleaning port 706 is arranged on the upper side of the right travel end of the water collecting tray 702.

[0031] The driving end of the left and right linear drive device 705 drives the water collecting pan 702 to move in the left and right directions. When the water collecting pan 702 moves to the right, the cleaning port 706 is located on the upper side of the water collecting pan 702, and the cooking container is arranged on the upper side of the cleaning port 706. The water spray nozzle 703 sprays water upward and sprays water to the cooking container through the cleaning port 706. When the water collecting pan 702 moves to the left, the water collecting pan 702 leaves the lower side of the cleaning port 706. Moreover, since the left and right linear drive devices 705 are arranged on the front side or the rear side of the water collecting pan 702, the front side and the rear side of the water collecting pan 702 are both connected with the panel 701 to guide and connect the lower side of the cleaning port 706. The upper side and the lower side of the panel 701 are connected through the cleaning port 706. The cooking robot can be provided with a feeding mechanism or a mechanism for realizing other functions, which passes through the cleaning port 706, and the water collecting pan 702 does not cause interference, and the space on the upper side and the lower side of the panel 701 is fully utilized to enrich the functions of the cooking robot and increase flexibility.

[0032] The left and right linear drive devices 705 are arranged at the front side or the rear side of the water collecting tray 702 for unilateral transmission, or at the front side and the rear side of the water collecting tray 702 for bilateral transmission. The left and right linear drive devices 705 use a synchronous belt motion module, or a chain drive module, a steel rope drive module, and a gear rack drive module. The above drive modules are conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lower side of the panel 701 is fixedly connected with a first drainage groove 707 opening upward, and the first drainage groove 707 extends in the left-right direction. The first drainage groove 707 is arranged on the left side of the cleaning port 706, and the first drainage groove 707 is arranged on the lower side of the first drainage port 704. The first drainage port 704 is connected to the first drainage groove 707.

[0034] The water after cleaning falls into the water collection tank and is discharged from the first drain port 704, flows into the first drain port 707 and then is discharged; the first drain port 707 extends in the left and right directions, so that after the water collection tank moves to the left, the first drain port 707 is still at the lower side of the first drain port 704, and the first drain port 707 still plays the role of receiving water, so that the residual water in the water collection tank can also be collected, reducing water dripping onto other mechanisms or the ground. The first drain port 704 is arranged on the rear side of the left side of the water collection tray 702, and the right end of the first drain port 707 is arranged on the left side of the cleaning port 706, without blocking the cleaning port 706. In some embodiments, the first drain port 704 can be connected with a hose for direct drainage, and the hose can be bent and follow the movement of the water collection tank.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower side of the front wall of the cleaning port 706, the lower side of the right wall of the cleaning port 706, and the lower side of the rear wall of the cleaning port 706 are all fixedly connected with a second drainage groove 708, the second drainage groove 708 opens upward, and all the second drainage grooves 708 are arranged below the water collecting tray 702. During the process of washing pots, some water will stick to the side wall of the cleaning port 706. After the water collecting groove moves to the left, the water sticking to the side wall of the cleaning port 706 drips down into the second drainage groove 708 and is discharged, reducing the water dripping onto other mechanisms or the ground. For the water on the left wall of the cleaning port 706, after the water collecting groove moves to the left, the right side of the water collecting groove can be on the lower side of the left wall of the cleaning port 706, and the water on the left wall can drip into the water collecting groove. The second drainage groove 708 is provided below the water collecting tray 702, so that when the water collecting tray 702 moves to the right, water flows down into the water collecting tray 702, and when the water collecting tray 702 moves to the left, water drops into the second drainage groove 708. The second drainage groove 708 can be provided separately for drainage, or can be connected as a whole for drainage.

[0036] In this embodiment, the lower side of the water collecting pan 702 is connected with a moving frame 709, and the water collecting pan 702 is connected to the driving end of the left and right linear drive device 705 through the moving frame 709, and the water collecting pan 702 is connected to the panel 701 through the moving frame 709; the lower side of the cleaning port 706 is fixedly connected with a sealing ring 710, and the moving frame 709 is connected to the water collecting pan 702 through a lifting structure, and the lifting structure is used to move the water collecting pan 702 upward and compress the sealing ring 710. The lower side of the cleaning port 706 is provided with a sealing ring 710, and the water collecting pan 702 is connected to the moving frame 709 through a lifting structure, and the moving frame 709 drives the water collecting pan 702 to move left and right. When the water collecting pan 702 moves to the lower side of the cleaning port 706, the lifting structure lifts the water collecting pan 702 upward, and the surrounding areas of the water collecting pan 702 press the sealing ring 710 to prevent water from splashing out from around the water collecting pan 702 during cleaning; when the water collecting pan 702 moves to the left, the lifting structure first moves the water collecting pan 702 downward to keep the water collecting pan 702 away from the sealing ring 710 without affecting the movement to the left.

[0037] like Fig. 9 In this embodiment, the front and rear sides of the water collecting tray 702 are connected to a plurality of lifting shafts 711, and the lifting shafts 711 are arranged along the front-to-back direction. The lifting structure includes the lifting shafts 711, and a plurality of lifting guide grooves 712 are provided on the upper side of the movable frame 709. A lifting section 713 inclined upward from right to left is provided in the lifting guide grooves 712. A plurality of the lifting shafts 711 are correspondingly abutted against the upper sides of the plurality of the lifting guide grooves 712, and a lifting block is fixedly connected to the right side of the lower side of the cleaning port 706, and the lifting block prevents the water collecting tray 702 from moving to the right.

[0038] The water collecting pan 702 is placed on the moving frame 709 through the lifting shaft 711, and the lifting shaft 711 is placed on the right side of the lifting guide groove 712. When the moving frame 709 moves to the right, the moving frame 709 drives the water collecting pan 702 to move to the right. When the water collecting pan 702 moves to the lower side of the cleaning port 706, the lifting block blocks the water collecting pan 702 to limit the water collecting pan 702 from moving to the right, while the moving frame 709 continues to move to the right, and the lifting shaft 711 and the lifting guide groove 712 generate a relative movement to the left. When the lifting shaft 711 passes through the lifting section 713, the lifting section 713 lifts the lifting shaft 711 upward, thereby causing the water collecting pan 702 to move upward and press the sealing ring 710. When the movable frame 709 moves to the left, since the friction between the sealing ring 710 and the water collecting tray 702 is greater than the friction between the lifting shaft 711 and the lifting guide groove 712, the water collecting tray 702 is stationary, and the lifting shaft 711 and the lifting guide groove 712 produce relative movement to the right. When the lifting shaft 711 passes through the lifting section 713, under the action of the gravity of the water collecting tray 702, the lifting shaft 711 moves downward, causing the water collecting tray 702 to move downward, and the water collecting tray 702 moves away from the sealing ring 710 and moves to the left with the movable frame 709.

[0039] In this embodiment, the lower side of the panel 701 is fixedly connected with a front guide rod 714 and a rear guide rod 715, and the front guide rod 714 and the rear guide rod 715 are both arranged in the left and right directions. The front guide rod 714 is arranged on the front side of the movable frame 709, and the rear guide rod 715 is arranged on the rear side of the movable frame 709. The front side of the movable frame 709 is fixedly connected with a guide sleeve 717, and the guide sleeve 717 is slidably connected to the front guide rod 714. The left and right linear drive devices 705 are arranged on the front side of the movable frame 709, and the rear side of the movable frame 709 is connected with a plurality of guide wheels 718, and the axis of the guide wheel 718 is arranged in the front and rear directions, and the guide wheel 718 abuts against the upper side of the rear guide rod 715.

[0040] The guide sleeve 717 is slidably connected to the front guide rod 714, and the moving ends of the left and right linear drive devices 705 are connected to the guide sleeve 717 to drive the movable frame 709 to move; the rear side of the movable frame 709 is connected to the guide wheel 718, and the guide wheel 718 rolls on the rear guide rod 715 to reduce the resistance on the rear side of the movable frame 709. The provision of the guide wheel 718 can reduce the contact points between the movable frame 709 and the rear guide rod 715, and can reduce the assembly accuracy requirements for the rear guide rod 715.

[0041] In this embodiment, a transversely arranged water inlet pipe support plate 719 is provided below the water collecting tray 702, and the water inlet pipe support plate 719 is relatively fixedly connected to the panel 701, and the water inlet pipe support plate 719 is arranged on the left side of the cleaning port 706. A water inlet hose 720 is connected to the lower side of the water spray nozzle 703, and the water inlet hose 720 can be placed on the upper side of the water inlet pipe support plate 719, which plays a role in supporting the water inlet hose 720, so that the water inlet hose 720 bends in an orderly manner when the water collecting tray 702 moves left and right.

[0042] The preferred implementation modes of the present invention are specifically described above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
