Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, and in particular to a fully automatic intelligent cooking machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of society and the economy, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster. How to liberate people from the daily tedious kitchen work is a question that many people are interested in and have been thinking about. With the continuous development of automatic control technology, computer technology, and network communication technology, intelligent and automated control has become a major trend in the home appliance industry.
[0003] Currently, most cooking machines, both domestically and internationally, have achieved some degree of automation in the cooking process. This involves feeding all the prepared main ingredients, seasonings, and condiments at once or manually in batches, setting a program, and then automatically heating the oil, stir-frying, and controlling the heat. However, the following drawbacks still exist:
[0004] 1) The freshness of the food to be cooked cannot be guaranteed before cooking;
[0005] 2) During the cooking process, the order of adding different vegetables, seasonings / condiments is different, the cooking time is also different, and the control of the heat is also very different. However, the cooking machines currently available on the market all require all materials to be added at once. They cannot properly support the step-by-step addition of main ingredients, seasonings (salt, oil, vinegar, water), and condiments (scallions, ginger, garlic). The mixing is very unreasonable and cannot ensure that the cooked dishes have the perfect color, aroma, and taste.
[0006] 3) During the stir-frying process, the heat cannot be controlled, and the heated area of the wok is mainly concentrated in the center of the bottom of the wok, resulting in uneven heating.
[0007] 4) The position of the stirring paddle is fixed, which makes the stirring uneven and insufficient during the cooking process, thus reducing the quality of the dish.
[0008] 5) After cooking, the process of draining the water from the pot is quite complicated.
[0009] 6) Cooking machines are widely used in takeout restaurants or fast food restaurants, but it cannot guarantee that a person or delivery rider will come to pick up the food after it is cooked. If the cooked food gets cold, it will lose its original freshness, thus lowering people's evaluation of the food. Summary of the Invention

[0070] Compared with existing technologies, the principles and advantages of this solution are as follows:
[0071] 1. The second short shaft is fixedly connected to the wok and fitted inside the first bearing, and connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor via a key; the wok, through the cooperation of the first bearing, the second short shaft, the bearing seat, and the fourth motor, is fixed on the support cabinet while being tilted by the fourth motor.
[0072] The inner arc of the U-shaped upper bracket matches the outer shape of the wok body. The opposite sides of the U-shape are fixedly connected to the support cabinet through bearing assemblies.

After the rotating shaft passes through the second bearing, its upper end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wok body, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the second large gear. The wok body, rotating shaft, second bearing, sleeve, and second large gear are coaxial. The wok body rotates by meshing with the second small gear installed on the output shaft of the third motor through the second large gear.
[0073] This solution utilizes a double-rotating pot structure, namely the tilting and axial rotation of the wok, to effectively ensure that the food tumbles and is heated evenly.
[0074] 2. A temperature sensor and a six-axis accelerometer are installed on the bottom of the outer side of the wok body to detect the temperature of the wok body, the angles (Roll, Pitch, and Yaw) in the three directions (x, y, and z) of the wok body, and the acceleration in the three axes in real time, making the central control system control the wok more precise.
[0075] 3. The stirring blades oscillate at multiple angles under the drive of the oscillating mechanism and rotate under the drive of the first motor. The upper end of the steel wire rope is wound around the third rotating shaft, and the other end passes through the inside of the stirring shaft and is connected to the stirring blades through a cotter pin located on the stirring blades near the stirring shaft. A spring connects the cotter pins on the two stirring blades, forming an openable and closable structure. This design, through the multi-angle oscillation, axial rotation, and openable and closable structure of the stirring blades, makes the stir-frying more even and also facilitates washing the pot.
[0076] 4. It adopts a liquid and solid seasoning / condiment separation structure, and adds a double-layer solenoid valve for secondary seasoning, which facilitates the step-by-step addition of seasoning / condiments and allows for reasonable mixing.
[0077] 5. The weight of the main dish in the food preparation tray is detected in real time by a third pressure sensor in the groove of the table, so as to intelligently calculate the weight of seasonings / condiments to be added; in addition, the real-time detection by the second pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the liquid seasoning storage box and the solid seasoning storage box can accurately control the addition accuracy of seasonings and condiments, thereby improving the quality of the finished stir-fried dishes.
[0078] 6. The insulation mechanism has temperature and humidity detection and resistance wire heating functions to keep the finished dishes in the box at a constant temperature environment; in addition, the upper end of the insulation box is equipped with an exhaust port, and the electric fan is installed at the top of the inside of the insulation box and located below the exhaust port. Driven by a rotating servo motor controlled by the central control system, it realizes intelligent removal of excess water vapor in the box.
[0079] 7. The pot lid is equipped with a first camera component. The cooking status captured by the camera is transmitted in real time to the user's mobile terminal via the wireless communication module of the central control system, allowing the user to remotely understand the real-time status of the cooking.
[0080] 8. The support cabinet is a cabinet with an internal cavity and an upward-facing opening. A drain hole is located at the bottom of the cavity. The wok is mounted on this support cabinet via a bearing assembly. A second bracket is installed at the opening of the support cabinet, located below the wok. This second bracket consists of multiple parallel cylindrical tubes with gaps between them for holding bowls of food. It also allows water from washing the wok to drain through the gaps between the tubes and through the drain hole. The wok washing and draining process is simple and quick.
[0081] 9. The front end of the mechanical gripper is equipped with a U-shaped clamp, which engages with the edge of the plate to facilitate gripping the plate and prevents the plate from slipping after gripping it. Attached Figure Description

[0166] In the cooking mechanism 1, this embodiment has made the following improvements in several aspects, as detailed below:
[0167] Aspect 1:
[0168] The fourth motor 1-31 is fixed inside the bearing housing 1-30; the second short shaft 1-29 is fixedly connected to the wok 1-2 and is fitted inside the first bearing 1-28, and is connected to the output shaft of the fourth motor 1-31 by a key; the wok 1-2, through the cooperation of the first bearing 1-28, the second short shaft 1-29, the bearing housing 1-30, and the fourth motor 1-31, is fixed on the support cabinet 1-1 and tilted by the fourth motor 1-31.
[0169] The inner arc of the U-shaped upper bracket 1-33 is adapted to the outer shape of the wok body 1-32, and is fixedly connected to the support cabinet 1-1 through the bearing assembly; the sleeve 1-36 is fixedly fitted on the opening; the rotating shaft 1-35 passes through the second bearing 1-40, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the wok body 1-32, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the second large gear 1-37; the wok body 1-32, the rotating shaft 1-35, the second bearing 1-40, the sleeve 1-36, and the second large gear 1-37 are coaxial; the second large gear 1-37 meshes with the second small gear 1-38 installed on the output shaft of the third motor 1-39, and is driven by the third motor 1-39 to realize the rotation of the wok body 1-32;
[0170] This embodiment uses a double rotating pot structure, that is, the tilting and axial rotation of the wok body, to effectively ensure that the stir-fried food tumbles and is heated evenly.
[0171] Aspect Two:
[0172] A temperature sensor 1-42 and a six-axis accelerometer 1-43 are installed on the lower outer side of the wok body 1-32 to detect the temperature of the wok body 1-32, the included angles (Roll, Pitch, and Yaw) in the three directions (x, y, and z) of the wok body, and the acceleration in the three axes in real time, so that the central control system 6 can control the wok body 1-2 more accurately.
[0173] Aspect 3:
[0174] The stirring blade 1-10 swings at multiple angles under the drive of the oscillating mechanism and rotates under the drive of the first motor 1-14. The upper end of the steel wire rope 1-16 is wound around the third rotating shaft 1-23, and the other end passes through the inside of the stirring shaft 1-11 and is connected to the stirring blade 1-10 through a cotter pin located on the end of the stirring blade 1-10 near the stirring shaft 1-11. A spring 1-25 is connected between the cotter pins on the two stirring blades 1-10 to form an openable and closable structure. In this embodiment, the multi-angle swinging of the stirring blade 1-10, its rotation around the stirring shaft, and its openable and closable structure make the stir-frying more even and also make it easier to wash the pot.
[0175] Aspect Four:
[0176] The pot lid is equipped with a first camera component. The footage of the cooking process is transmitted in real time to the user's mobile terminal via the wireless communication module of the central control system, allowing the user to remotely monitor the cooking status.

This second bracket consists of multiple parallel cylindrical tubes with gaps between them to hold bowls for serving food. It also allows water from washing the wok to drain through the gaps between the tubes and through the drain hole. The wok washing and draining process is simple and quick.
[0179] Next, in the conveying mechanism 3, when the eighth motor 3-15 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 3-20 to rotate. The second bevel gear 3-20 meshes with the first bevel gear 3-19, causing the lead screw 3-11 to drive the nut 3-12 to move linearly. The nut 3-12 drives the connecting rod 3-13 to move, and the connecting rod 3-13 drives the mechanical claw 3-14 to move, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the mechanical claw 3-14. The front end of the mechanical claw is equipped with a U-shaped clamp, which engages with the edge of the plate to facilitate gripping the plate and prevents the plate from slipping after gripping. In addition, the second camera 3-16 is installed on the end of the forearm 3-8 near the mechanical claw 3-14, thereby calculating the real-time position of the mechanical claw 3-14 based on the real-time image from the front (this is existing technology), which facilitates the central control system 6 to adjust the moving direction of the mechanical claw 3-14, realizing functions such as gripping the plate, transferring the plate, and pouring food into the pot.
[0180] Finally, the insulation mechanism 5 has temperature and humidity detection and resistance wire heating functions to keep the finished dishes in the box in a constant temperature environment; and the upper end of the insulation box 5-1 is provided with an exhaust port, and the electric fan 5-4 is installed at the top inside the insulation box 5-1 and located below the exhaust port. Driven by the rotating servo motor 5-7 controlled by the central control system 6, it realizes the intelligent removal of excess water vapor in the box.
[0181] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
