[0037] Reference Figure 1The present application provides a cooking device, including a microwave oven 1, a shaking device 2 and a temperature control device 3.

[0038] Microwave oven 1 includes a microwave oven body 11 and a microwave oven cover 12. The microwave oven cover 12 snaps openably onto the microwave oven body 11, forming a microwave heating cavity 13 within the microwave oven 1. A magnetron 111 is mounted on the microwave oven body 11, generating microwaves within the microwave heating cavity 13. The microwave energy heats the food within the microwave heating cavity 13. The microwave oven body 11 and the microwave oven cover 12 may be mutually compatible cubic shapes, resulting in a cubic shape for the microwave oven 1. The microwave heating cavity 13 is primarily located within the microwave oven body 11, with the microwave oven cover 12 acting as a door to access the microwave heating cavity 13. Opening the microwave oven cover 12 opens the microwave heating cavity 13, while closing it closes it. In practice, a dedicated mechanism may be provided to move the microwave oven cover 12 relative to the microwave oven body 11, thereby opening and closing the microwave heating cavity 13 to accommodate the food container 6.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the cooking device further includes a lifting mechanism 4, which drives the microwave oven upper cover 12 to rise or fall relative to the microwave oven body 11, thereby opening or closing the microwave heating cavity 13.

[0040] Specifically, the lifting mechanism 4 includes a column 41 fixed to one side of the microwave oven body 11, a lifting guide rail 42 fixed to the column 41, a slider 43 that can be moved up and down along the lifting guide rail 42, and a lifting drive 44 that can drive the slider 43 to move up and down. The column 41 can be fixed to the side of the microwave oven body 11 by being directly fixed to the side of the microwave oven body 11 or by being fixed to other components to maintain the fixed relationship between the column 41 and the microwave oven body 11.

[0041] A lifting rail 42 is fixed to the upright post 41 in an up-and-down vertical direction. A slider 43 is mounted on the lifting rail 42 so as to be movable up and down along the lifting rail 42. The slider 43 is fixedly connected to the microwave oven cover 12. Specifically, the slider 43 may be fixedly connected to a cantilever beam 45, and the microwave oven cover 12 is fixed to the lower surface of the cantilever beam 45. The slider 43 is driven up and down along the lifting rail 42 by a lifting drive 44, thereby driving the microwave oven cover 12 to open or close the microwave heating cavity 13.

[0042] The lifting drive device 44 includes a closed-loop synchronous belt 441, two synchronous pulleys 442 rotatably mounted on the column 41, and a drive motor 443 that drives the synchronous pulleys 442. The synchronous belt 441 fits over the two synchronous pulleys 442, with one side of the synchronous belt 441 fixedly connected to the slider 43. The drive motor 443 drives the synchronous pulleys 442 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 43 up and down via the synchronous belt 441.

[0043] The lifting drive device 44 can also be in the form of a gear rack mechanism or a screw nut mechanism driven by a drive motor.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the cooking device further includes a flip drive device 5. The microwave oven cover 12 is hinged to the microwave oven body 11. The flip drive device 5 is used to drive the microwave oven cover 12 to flip around the hinge between the microwave oven cover 12 and the microwave oven body 11, thereby opening or closing the microwave heating cavity 13.

[0045] The tilting drive device 5 can be specifically an electric cylinder. Its push rod 51 is hingedly connected to the microwave oven cover 12, and its cylinder body 52 is hingedly connected to another fixed component. Thus, when the push rod 51 is extended, it drives the microwave oven cover 12 to tilt upward and outward about its hinged connection with the microwave oven body 11, thereby opening the microwave heating chamber 13. When the push rod 51 is retracted, it drives the microwave oven cover 12 to tilt downward and inward about its hinged connection with the microwave oven body 11, thereby closing the microwave heating chamber 13. In this embodiment, the electric cylinder is located on the side of the microwave oven body 11 away from the temperature control device 3.

[0046] The flip driving device 5 can also be other mechanisms with the same function that can drive the microwave oven upper cover 12 to flip around the hinge between the microwave oven upper cover 12 and the microwave oven body 11.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The shaking device 2 includes a lunch box column 21, a rotating shaft 22, a rotating drive device 23 and an anti-falling track 24. The lunch box column 21 is a basket-like structure, that is, there is an opening 211 on the top, and corresponding side walls and a bottom are provided around and at the bottom to prevent items of a certain size from leaking out. The opening 211 of the lunch box column 21 is used to put in or take out the lunch box 6. The lunch box column 21 can be fixed to the rotating shaft 22 through its bottom, and is located in the microwave heating cavity 13. The rotating shaft 22 is arranged horizontally, and at least a part of it is located in the microwave heating cavity 13. The rotating drive device 23 can be specifically a motor, which is arranged outside the microwave heating cavity 13 and can drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 22 is rotatably provided through the microwave oven body 11 , and the rotation driving device 23 driving the rotating shaft 22 to rotate is provided on a side of the microwave oven body 11 close to the temperature control device 3 .

[0049] The anti-drop track 24 is located within the microwave heating cavity 13 and includes an upper track 241 and a lower track 242. Both the upper track 241 and the lower track 242 are arc-shaped. The upper track 241 is fixed to the microwave oven cover 12, while the lower track 242 is fixed to the microwave oven body 11. When the microwave oven cover 12 is snapped onto the microwave oven body 11, the upper track 241 and the lower track 242 are joined to form a circular, closed anti-drop track 24. The circular, closed anti-drop track 24 is in an upright position, with its central axis coinciding with the axis of the rotating shaft 22. The opening 211 of the lunch box rail 21 is oriented perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 22. The lunch box column 21 is located in a circular closed anti-falling track 24. When the lunch box column 21 rotates or shakes along with the rotating shaft 22, the top of the lunch box 6 in the lunch box column 21 can contact the inner side of the anti-falling track 24. The lunch box 6 is always confined in the lunch box column 21 by the inner side of the anti-falling track 24, thereby preventing the lunch box 6 from falling out of the lunch box column 21.

[0050] Among them, the lunch box column 21 includes a bottom column 212, multiple side columns 213 and a fixing seat 214. The bottom column 212 is in the shape of a circular plate and has multiple hollows. Each side column 213 is in the shape of an arc plate and also has multiple hollows. Multiple side columns 213 are fixed to the edge of the bottom column 212, and multiple side columns 213 and the bottom column 212 form a space for placing the lunch box 6. The gap between two adjacent side columns 213 should be large enough to ensure that the lunch box 6 cannot fall out of the gap. The bottom column 212 is fixed to the fixing seat 214 by fasteners, and the fixing seat 214 is fixed to the rotating shaft 22, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the lunch box column 21 and the rotating shaft 22.

[0051] In this embodiment, the lunch box column 21 has two side columns 213 , and the two side columns 213 are symmetrically arranged.

[0052] In some embodiments, the lunch box column 21 may not be provided with a fixing seat 214, and the bottom column 212 of the lunch box column 21 may be directly fixed to the rotating shaft 22 by welding or the like, which can also achieve a fixed connection between the lunch box column 21 and the rotating shaft 22.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figure 4 The temperature control device 3 includes a cooling fan 31 and an air duct 32. The cooling fan 31 is disposed within the air duct 32, allowing the cooling air generated by the cooling fan 31 to flow through the interior of the air duct 32. The air duct 32 guides the cooling air through the heat sink of the magnetron 111 in the microwave oven body 11, thereby dissipating heat from the magnetron 111. The air outlet 321 of the air duct 32 faces away from the microwave oven body 11.

[0054] In this embodiment, the microwave oven body 11 is provided with two magnetrons 111 to increase the power of the microwave oven 1. Two temperature control devices 3 are provided, one corresponding to each magnetron 111. The temperature control device 3 and the magnetron 111 are fixed to a side of the microwave oven body 11 where the rotary drive device 23 is provided, with the rotary drive device 23 located between the two temperature control devices 3.

[0055] In one embodiment, the temperature control device further includes a first temperature control switch and a second temperature control switch, both of which are disposed on the outer wall of the magnetron. Thus, the amount of heat conducted from the outer wall of the magnetron determines whether the first temperature control switch and the second temperature control switch are activated.

[0056] The first temperature-controlled switch is a normally closed switch and can be connected in series to the power supply circuit of the magnetron. The first temperature-controlled switch is used to cut off the power supply circuit of the magnetron when the temperature of the magnetron reaches or exceeds a first temperature.

[0057] For example, if the preset first temperature is 120°C, when the first temperature control switch detects that the temperature of the magnetron reaches or exceeds 120°C, the first temperature control switch cuts off the power supply circuit of the magnetron, thereby preventing the magnetron from continuing to work and heating up and being burned.

[0058] The second temperature control switch is a normally open switch and can be connected in series to the power supply circuit of the cooling fan. The second temperature control switch is used to turn on the power supply circuit of the cooling fan when the temperature of the magnetron reaches or exceeds the second temperature.

[0059] For example, if the preset second temperature is 40° C., when the second temperature control switch detects that the temperature of the magnetron reaches or exceeds 40° C., the second temperature control switch turns on the power supply circuit of the cooling fan, thereby starting the cooling fan to dissipate heat for the magnetron.

[0060] In summary, the working process of the cooking device of the present application is as follows:

[0061] The microwave oven upper cover 12 is driven to rise by the lifting mechanism 4 , or is driven to flip upward and outward by the flip driving device 5 , so as to open the microwave heating cavity 13 of the microwave oven 1 .

[0062] When the machine starts working, the opening 211 of the lunch box column 21 is facing upward. The lunch box 6 containing food ingredients (such as vegetables, meat, seasonings, cooking oil, etc.) is placed in the lunch box column 21. The top of the lunch box 6 is covered, so that when the lunch box column 21 and the lunch box 6 are rotated or shaken by the rotating shaft 22, the food ingredients in the lunch box 6 will not fall out of the lunch box 6.

[0063] After the lunch box 6 is placed, the microwave oven cover 12 is driven by the lifting mechanism 4 or the tilting drive device 5 to close the microwave heating chamber 13. After the microwave heating chamber 13 is closed, the upper track 241 fixed in the microwave oven cover 12 and the lower track 242 fixed in the microwave oven body 11 are connected to form a circular, closed anti-falling track 24. The circular, closed anti-falling track 24 restrains the lunch box 6 in the lunch box fence 21.

[0064] After the microwave heating chamber 13 is closed, the magnetron 111 is started to heat and cook the food in the lunch box 6 in the microwave heating chamber 13. During the cooking process, the rotating drive device 23 and the rotating shaft 22 drive the lunch box column 21 and the lunch boxes 6 in the lunch box column 21 to rotate or reciprocate around the axis of the rotating shaft 22, thereby causing the food in the lunch box 6 to be mixed and shaken, thereby ensuring that the food in the lunch box 6 is heated evenly.

[0065] After the food is cooked to a certain degree, the microwave oven cover 12 is opened by the lifting mechanism 4 or the tilting drive device 5. The anti-falling track 24 moves with the opening of the microwave oven cover 12 to release the restriction on the lunch box 6. The lunch box 6 is taken out from the lunch box column 21, and freshly cooked food is obtained.

[0066] The cooking device of the present application can shake the ingredients in the lunch box in the microwave heating cavity 13 evenly through the shaking device during the process of heating and cooking the ingredients, without taking the lunch box out of the microwave heating cavity 13 and shaking it, which can effectively improve the cooking efficiency. Shaking while heating can make the ingredients heated more evenly and improve the cooking quality of the dishes.

[0067] Reference Figure 6 The present application also provides a vending machine, including a frame 7, a grabbing device 8, a material bin 9, a food serving platform 10, a control system and the cooking device described in the above embodiments, wherein the grabbing device 8, the material bin 9, the cooking device and the food serving platform 10 are all arranged on the frame 7.

[0068] After the consumer places an order, the grabbing device 8 grabs the lunch box 6 containing the corresponding ingredients, condiments, etc. in the hopper 9 according to the dish information in the order and transfers it to the lunch box column 21 of the cooking device.

[0069] The microwave oven upper cover 12 of the cooking device is buckled and closes the microwave heating cavity 13, and the microwave oven 1 begins to heat and cook the ingredients in the lunch box 6. During the cooking process, the ingredients in the lunch box 6 are shaken by the shaking device 2 so that the ingredients are heated evenly.

[0070] After cooking is completed, the microwave heating cavity 13 is opened. The grabbing device 8 grabs the cooked meal box 6 in the meal box column 21 and transfers it to the meal delivery platform 10. Thus, consumers can quickly cook and purchase freshly prepared food through the vending machine under completely self-service conditions.

[0071] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
