If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0033] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the mechanism for lifting a pot and pouring dishes according to the first embodiment of the invention includes a transmission box 100, a rotating arm 200 and a pot connection seat 300. The transmission box 100 is provided with a hollow shaft 111 driven by a first driving device 110 and a solid shaft 121 driven by a second driving device 120. The hollow shaft 111 is sleeved outside the solid shaft 121. The hollow shaft 111 and the solid shaft 121 rotate independently of each other without interfering with each other. The specific structure of the transmission box 100 can refer to the "Transmission Box and Lifting Pot Mechanism" of Publication No. CN110805656A, but the invention does not limit the specific structure of the transmission box 100. As long as the transmission box 100 is provided with a hollow shaft 111 that can be sleeved outside the solid shaft 121, and the two can rotate independently of each other, no matter how the structure of the transmission box 100 is, it belongs to the protection scope of the invention. The outer side surface of the rotating arm 200 is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 111 of the transmission box 100, so that the hollow shaft 111 can drive the rotating arm 200 to rotate synchronously. An installation cavity 210 is provided in the rotating arm 200, and the solid shaft 121 passes through the rotating arm 200 and extends into the installation cavity 210, that is, the solid shaft 121 of the transmission box 100 protrudes from the hollow shaft 111.

[0035] At the same time, the pot connection base 300 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 200, and the pot connection base 300 extends to the outside of the rotating arm 200. The pot connection base 300 is used to connect to an external cooking container 400. In order to realize the function of lifting the pot, the pot connection base 300 needs to be driven to rotate. To this end, a transmission mechanism 500 is installed in the installation cavity 210. The pot connection base 300 and the solid shaft 121 of the transmission box 100 are connected through the transmission mechanism 500, so that the solid shaft 121 can drive the pot connection base 300 to rotate. Figure 7 As shown, through software simulation, it can be known that the hollow shaft 111 can control the overall movement of the cooking container 400, while the solid shaft 121 can control the orientation of the cooking container 400. The cooking container 400 is lifted or dumped through the linkage of the above two movements, and the user can adjust the lifting or dumping trajectory of the lifting or dumping mechanism by adjusting the rotation parameters (such as rotation direction and rotation speed) of the hollow shaft 111 and the solid shaft 121 respectively to adapt to the different lifting or dumping requirements of different dishes.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the transmission mechanism 500 is used for remote transmission, so that there is an appropriate distance between the pot connection base 300 and the hollow shaft 111, so as to avoid the rotation axis of the pot connection base 300 being coaxial with the rotation axis of the hollow shaft 111, and then the cooking container 400 cannot be lifted. In this embodiment, in order to increase the adjustment space of the lifting trajectory, one end of the rotating arm 200 is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 111, and the other end of the rotating arm 200 is rotatably connected to the pot connection base 300, so that the swing amplitude of the pot connection base 300 is increased to the maximum, but the invention does not limit the positions of the pot connection base 300 and the hollow shaft 111 on the rotating arm 200, and the positions of the two on the rotating arm 200 are not limited to the above embodiment. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 500 includes but is not limited to a synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism, a sprocket chain transmission mechanism or a gear transmission mechanism. Since the synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism is low in cost and easy to install, the transmission mechanism 500 of this embodiment is preferably a synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism, which is composed of a driving wheel 510, a driven wheel 520 and a synchronous belt 530, wherein the driving wheel 510 is rigidly connected to the solid shaft 121 of the transmission box 100, so that the solid shaft 121 can drive the driving wheel 510 to rotate synchronously, and the driven wheel 520 is fixedly connected to the cookware connecting seat 300, so that the driven wheel 520 can drive the cookware connecting seat 300 to rotate synchronously, and the driving wheel 510 and the driven wheel 520 are synchronously transmitted through the synchronous belt 530, and finally the solid shaft 121 can drive the cookware connecting seat 300 to rotate.

[0037] In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to position and install the driven wheel 520 , a supporting shaft 211 is provided in the installation cavity 210 , and the supporting shaft 211 is rotatably connected to the driven wheel 520 .

[0038] It should be noted that in the invention, all rotating connections are preferably connected by bearings, so that the rotation between the various accessories is smoother and there is no obvious sense of frustration when lifting the pot.

[0039] The cooking machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention comprises the pot-lifting and dish-pouring mechanism according to the first embodiment of the present invention and a cooking container 400, such as Figure 1As shown, the cooking container 400 is provided with two extraction parts 410 that are opposite to each other. The user can extract the cooking container 400 through the two extraction parts 410, and the two extraction parts 410 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the rotating arm 200; the cooking container 400 is provided with a pouring spout 420, and the angles between the pouring spout 420 and the two extraction parts 410 are both 90°. The invention can directly realize the function of pouring dishes by rotating the pot connection seat 300. At this time, all the dishes and starch sauce in the cooking container 400 are poured into the dish container along the pouring spout 420. The setting of the pouring spout 420 can effectively prevent the starch sauce from flowing to the back of the cooking container 400 when pouring the dishes, so as to improve the cleanliness of the cooking container 400.

[0040] like Figure 6As shown, in order to enable the invention to select different cooking containers 400 according to different cooking situations, the cooking container 400 is provided with a disassembly assembly 600 that matches and connects with the pot connection base 300, and the cooking container 400 and the pot connection base 300 are detachably connected through the disassembly assembly 600. Specifically, a key slot hole 310 is provided on the end surface of the pot connection base 300, and a pin hole 320 is provided on the peripheral surface of the pot connection base 300, and the pin hole 320 is vertically connected to the key slot hole 310. The disassembly and assembly component 600 is located directly below one of the extraction parts 410, and the disassembly and assembly component 600 includes a fixed shaft 610 fixedly connected to the cooking container 400, and a protrusion 611 is provided on the circumferential surface of the fixed shaft 610, and the fixed shaft 610 and the protrusion 611 together constitute a stop part 601, and the stop part 601 is matched and connected with the key slot hole 310; the disassembly and assembly component 600 also includes a latch 620 and a pressing handle 630 arranged in the extraction part 410, and the position of the latch 620 corresponds to the position of the latch hole 320, and the latch 620 is sleeved with a spring (not shown in the drawings), and the latch 620 protrudes downward from the extraction part 410 and approaches the stop part 601 under the elastic force of the spring, and the pressing handle 630 is used to control the retraction of the latch 620. When the user needs to connect the cooking container 400 to the pot connecting base 300, first, the user needs to keep pressing the pressing handle 630 downward so that the latch 620 retracts into the extraction portion 410, and then aligns the anti-rotation portion 601 with the key slot hole 310 and gradually inserts the anti-rotation portion 601 into the key slot hole 310. During this process, the pressing handle 630 is released. At this time, the latch 620 has a tendency to extend downward under the elastic force of the spring. Once the latch 620 passes through the latch hole 320, the latch 620 will immediately be inserted into the latch hole 320 to complete the connection of the cooking container 400. When the user needs to disassemble the cooking container 400, the user only needs to pull out the cooking container 400 while pressing the pressing handle 630 downward to complete the disassembly of the cooking container 400.

[0041] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
