[0033] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0034] As people's living standards improve, many traditional cooking utensils can no longer meet the needs of users, so more and more cooking utensils are improved on the basis of the original equipment. After users use cooking utensils to cook food, it is inevitable that there will be food residues in the cooking utensils. When the user does not clean the food residues in the cooking utensils in time, cockroaches and other insects will be attracted by the residual food, and then enter the cooking utensils through the gaps in the doors of the cooking utensils. Since the current cooking utensils are not equipped with cleaning equipment for cleaning insects, after cockroaches and other insects enter the cooking utensils, the internal cooking environment of the cooking utensils is adversely affected, thereby damaging the user's health and food safety. The cooking utensils provided by the present invention can solve the problem in the prior art that after cockroaches and other insects enter the cooking utensils, the internal cooking environment of the cooking utensils is adversely affected, thereby damaging the user's health and food safety.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking utensil, which includes: a box body 1, a door body and a slot body 3. The box body 1 and the door body surround a cooking space, and an air inlet cavity for installing a fan 6 is provided inside the cooking space of the box body 1, and a controller is electrically connected to the fan 6. The slot body 3 is arranged in front of the movement path of the wind generated by the fan 6 and is arranged at one end of the cooking space close to the door body.

[0037] With such arrangement, after the user finds the presence of cockroaches or other insects 9 in the cooking utensil, the user can turn on the fan 6 to blow the cockroaches or other insects 9 from the inside of the cooking space into the trough 3, and then process the insects 9 in the trough 3, thereby saving time and effort, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the internal cooking environment of the cooking utensil and ensuring the health of the user during cooking and food safety.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of infrared detection devices are also provided on the top of the cooking space. The infrared detection devices are provided in front of the movement path of the wind generated by the fan 6 and are located at one end close to the tank 3, and are electrically connected to the controller. The radiation range of the infrared detection device can cover the entire cross section of the location where it is located, and is used to detect whether the insects 9 have entered the cooking space, and make a more accurate judgment on the location of the insects 9. Those skilled in the art can change the number of infrared detection devices according to actual conditions. In the embodiment of the present invention, only the first infrared detection device 8 and the second infrared detection device 7 are used as examples.

[0039] The tank body 3 and the box body 1 are separated, and a plug plate is provided at the bottom of the tank body 3 for opening the bottom of the tank body 3 to clean the insects 9. The top of the tank body 3 is provided with a first opening facing the cooking space, and a first cover plate 4 suitable for covering the first opening is provided at the first opening, and the first cover plate 4 is rotatably connected to the tank body 3 through a first rotating shaft. The tank body 3 is provided with a first driving motor, which is connected to the first rotating shaft. The first driving motor is electrically connected to the infrared detection device.

[0040] With such arrangement, when the insects 9 are blown from the inside of the cooking space to the trough body 3, the insects 9 can be prevented from slipping out of the trough body 3, and the insects 9 can be processed centrally, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cooking utensils and the kitchen, and improving the health and food safety of the user when cooking.

[0041] The groove body 3 itself is an arc groove with a central angle of 90°. The top of the groove wall on the right side of the groove body 3 close to the cooking space is in contact with the bottom of the box body 1. Similarly, the groove wall on the right side is also arranged in a smooth arc structure.

[0042] The present invention provides a 90° smooth arc groove, which can prevent the insects 9 from slipping out of the groove body 3 after the insects 9 are blown into the groove body 3, and can also make the groove body 3 streamlined, which can reduce a certain amount of wind resistance and improve the working efficiency of the fan 6. By being tangent to the bottom of the cooking space and having a smooth arc structure of the groove wall, the groove body 3 can be streamlined, further reducing wind resistance and improving the working efficiency of the fan 6.

[0043] The tank body 3 is provided with a second opening perpendicular to the first opening, the second opening is arranged away from the cooking space, and the second opening is provided with a second cover plate 5, the size of the second cover plate 5 is suitable for covering the second opening, and the second cover plate 5 is rotatably connected to the tank body 3 through a second rotating shaft. The tank body 3 is provided with a second drive motor, which is connected to the second rotating shaft. Similarly, the second drive motor is also electrically connected to the infrared detection device. The second opening is also provided with a wire mesh structure 2, and the wire mesh structure 2 is detachably connected to the second opening. Of course, the density of the wire mesh structure 2 is large enough, and it can ensure that the insects 9 cannot slip out of the aperture. In order to increase the spatial volume of the tank body 3, the shape of the wire mesh structure 2 can be changed, for example, an arc or a wave shape. Correspondingly, the second cover plate 5 is also made into a shape that matches the wire mesh structure 2. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to actual conditions, and the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, as long as the same technical effects can be achieved.

[0044] With such arrangement, after the insects 9 are blown into the trough body 3, the second cover plate 5 can be controlled to close the trough wall, thereby making the cooking utensil as a whole beautiful and neat, and preventing the insects 9 from slipping out of the trough body 3, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the cooking utensil and the kitchen, and improving the health and food safety of the user when cooking.

[0045] A connector for electrical connection is also provided between the tank body 3 and the box body 1 to ensure the normal operation of the first drive motor and the second drive motor.

[0046] Specific working process:

[0047] Since insects 9 will only enter the cooking space after the cooking device is used, the cooking device can connect the fan 6, the controller, the first drive motor, and the second drive motor to a standby power supply. Of course, as another embodiment, the cooking device can also be powered on and in a standby state.

[0048] Of course, the fan 6 can be operated at low power when the user normally uses the cooking utensil, and can be used to provide heat circulation inside the cooking space to ensure that the food has a good cooking effect. After the insects 9 enter the cooking utensil, the fan 6 operates at high power, so that the insects 9 can be blown into the tank 3.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the first infrared detection device 8 is arranged outside the second infrared detection device 7. When the insects 9 enter the cooking space, they first pass through the first infrared detection device 8. After the first infrared detection device 8 detects that the insects 9 have passed, it sends a signal to the controller to control the fan 6 to be in a ready state. At the same time, the first drive motor drives the first cover plate 4 to open, and the second drive motor drives the second cover plate 5 to open. When the insects 9 pass through the second infrared detection device 7, the second infrared detection device 7 sends a signal to the controller to control the fan 6 to work.

[0050] The wind generated by the fan 6 will blow the insects 9 outward. When the insects 9 pass through the first infrared detection device 8 again, it means that the insects 9 have been blown from the cooking space into the tank body 3. At this time, the first drive motor controls the first cover plate 4 to close. Due to the smooth groove wall of the tank body 3, it can be ensured that the insects 9 cannot escape from the tank body 3 in a short time, so that the insects 9 are sealed in the tank body 3 by the first cover plate 4. At the same time, the controller delays the closing of the fan 6 for a preset time to ensure that the insects 9 enter the tank body 3. After the delay time ends, the controller controls the fan 6 to stop, and the second drive motor drives the second cover plate 5 to close.

[0051] After the work is finished, the user can remove the tank body 3, open the plug plate, pour the insects 9 into a garbage bag or flush them down the toilet, saving trouble and effort.

[0052] With such arrangement, when the insects 9 pass through the infrared detection device, the fan 6 can be automatically controlled to operate, thereby blowing the insects 9 directly from the inside of the cooking space into the trough body 3, and then processing the insects 9 in the trough body 3, without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby avoiding adverse effects on the internal cooking environment of the cooking utensil and ensuring the health of the user during cooking and food safety.

[0053] Of course, when the user uses the cooking utensil to cook, the controller will automatically disconnect the infrared detection device to ensure normal use by the user.

[0054] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
