[0067] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0068] The cooking device 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a feeding guide rail 30, a first material box driving mechanism 40 and a second material box driving mechanism 50. When the material box 200 containing food is placed on the material box placement portion 101 between the feeding guide rail 30 and the first material box driving mechanism 40, the first material box driving mechanism 40 can push the material box 200 into the feeding guide rail 30, so that the material box 200 slides along the feeding guide rail 30 to the feeding port 21 of the cooking container 20 for feeding. After feeding, the second material box driving mechanism 50 can push the material box 200 after feeding back to the material box placement portion 101 along the feeding guide rail 30 to realize automatic recovery of the material box 200. The first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50 are used to realize automatic pushing, feeding and recovery of the material box, and save pushing space. Moreover, the material box 200 always moves along the feeding guide rail 30 according to a predetermined route under the action of the first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50, which can improve the accuracy of automatic feeding of the cooking device 100.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present invention, the X, Y, and Z directions are three directions of three-dimensional coordinates, wherein the X direction includes the illustrated direction and the opposite direction in the drawings of the specification, the Y direction includes the illustrated direction and the opposite direction in the drawings of the specification, and the Z direction is a direction perpendicular to the X direction and the Y direction.

[0070] Embodiment 1

[0071] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooking device 100, including a frame body and a cooking container 20 arranged on the frame body. A feeding guide rail 30 is arranged in parallel on the frame body, and a material box placement portion 101 and a first material box driving mechanism 40 are arranged in sequence at one end of the feeding guide rail 30, and a second material box driving mechanism 50 is arranged at the other end of the feeding guide rail 30. The first material box driving mechanism 40 can push the material box 200 containing food materials on the material box placement portion 101 into the feeding guide rail 30, so that the material box 200 slides along the feeding guide rail 30 to the feeding port 21 of the cooking container 20 for feeding. The second material box driving mechanism 50 can push the material box 200 after feeding is completed back to the material box placement portion 101 along the feeding guide rail 30 to realize automatic recovery of the material box 200. The first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50 realize automatic pushing and recovery of the material box 200, and save pushing space. Moreover, the material box 200 always moves along the feeding guide rail 30 according to a predetermined route under the action of the first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50, which can improve the accuracy of automation of the cooking device 100. It can be understood that the material box placement portion 101 is the space between the feeding guide rail 30 and the first material box driving mechanism 40.

[0072] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The feeding guide rail 30 includes a first guide rail 31 and a second guide rail 32 that are connected to each other. The material box placement portion 101 and the first material box driving mechanism 40 are arranged at the end of the first guide rail 31, and the second material box driving mechanism 50 is arranged at the end of the second guide rail 32. Moreover, a thrust portion 33 is provided at the joint between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 to limit the box cover 210 from sliding toward the second guide rail 32.

[0073] In this embodiment, the thrust portion 33 is a step surface formed at the joint of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32. In other embodiments, the thrust portion 33 may also be a protrusion provided at the joint of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, which can limit the movement of the box cover 210 when the material box 200 moves to the joint of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, but does not affect the movement of the box body 220 from the first guide rail 31 to the second guide rail 32.

[0074] For reference Figure 4 The material box 200 includes a box cover 210 and a box body 220 that are slidably matched. The box cover 210 can be slidably matched with the first guide rail 31, and the box body 220 can be slidably matched with the second guide rail 32. When the first material box driving mechanism 40 pushes the material box 200, the outer edge of the box cover 210 slides into the first guide rail 31, and the material box 200 can move toward the cooking container 20 along the first guide rail 31 under the action of the first material box driving mechanism 40. When the material box 200 moves to the docking point of the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32, the thrust portion 33 can limit the movement of the box cover 210, and the first material box driving mechanism 40 pushes the box body 220 into the second guide rail 32, and pushes the box body 220 to drive the food to move along the second guide rail 32 to the feeding port 21 for feeding. After feeding, the first material box driving mechanism 40 is reset, and the second material box driving mechanism 50 pushes the box body 220 back in the opposite direction after feeding. When the box body 220 is pushed back to the joint between the first guide rail 31 and the second guide rail 32 by the second material box driving mechanism 50, the box body 220 slides with the box cover 210 again, and is pushed back to the material box placement portion 101 under the action of the second material box driving mechanism 50 to facilitate the recovery of the empty material box.

[0075] Specifically, the main reference Figure 5 The first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50 both include a power transmission belt 51, a driving assembly, and a winding 52 for winding the power transmission belt 51. The driving assembly includes a driving member and a roller 53, and the driving member can drive the roller 53 to rotate to drive the power transmission belt 51 to move. One end of the power transmission belt 51 is connected to the winding 52, and the other end is provided with a push assembly 55.

[0076] Furthermore, the force transmission belt 51 is uniformly provided with first meshing structures along its length direction, and the roller 53 is uniformly provided with second meshing structures matching with the first meshing structures along its circumferential direction. Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first meshing structure can be a tooth groove 512 arranged on the side of the power transmission belt 51, or a tooth hole 511 arranged on the surface of the power transmission belt 51, and the second meshing structure is a convex tooth 531 meshing with the tooth hole 511 or the tooth groove 512.

[0077] Moreover, in this embodiment, the rollers 53 are arranged in pairs, and the power transmission belt 51 is located between the two rollers 53 arranged in pairs, and the two rollers 53 arranged in pairs rotate in opposite directions to drive the power transmission belt 51 to move. The rollers 53 are arranged in pairs to improve the stability and reliability of the thrust of the power transmission belt 51. Even if the meshing structure is not arranged on the rollers 53 and the power transmission belt 51, the stability and reliability of the movement of the power transmission belt 51 can be ensured by the friction between the double rollers 53 and the surface of the power transmission belt 51. Of course, the number of rollers 53 can be determined according to actual needs. Multiple groups of rollers 53 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the power transmission belt 51, which can also prevent the power transmission belt 51 from bending and arching when the thrust is long or the thrust is large. In addition, the rollers 53 can also be arranged only on one side of the power transmission belt 51, and the power transmission belt 51 can be meshed with the rollers 53 through the first meshing structure and the second meshing structure, so that the power transmission belt 51 moves under the action of the rollers 53.

[0078] When the roller 53 drives the power transmission belt 51 to move, the matching first meshing structure and the second meshing mechanism can prevent the roller 53 and the power transmission belt 51 from slipping, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the thrust of the power transmission belt 51. Moreover, the roller 53 and the power transmission belt 51 can achieve precise control of the movement displacement of the power transmission belt 51 through meshing transmission, thereby improving the feeding accuracy of the power transmission belt 51, and facilitating the accurate feeding of the ingredients in the material box 200 according to the feeding order and feeding time of the cooking recipe, thereby improving the cooking quality of the dishes. In other embodiments, the circumferential surface of the roller 53 can also be smooth. At this time, the roller 53 drives the power transmission belt 51 to move through the friction between the roller 53 and the power transmission belt 51.

[0079] Furthermore, the first material box driving mechanism 40 and the second material box driving mechanism 50 may also include a guide member 54, which is used to ensure that the power transmission belt 51 reciprocates in a straight line direction, and also to prevent the power transmission belt 51 from bending and arching when the pushing distance is long or the thrust is large. In this embodiment, the guide member 54 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a guide groove, and the power transmission belt 51 is inserted into the guide groove, so that the power transmission belt 51 always moves in a straight line.

[0080] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, Fig. 9As shown, the push assembly 55 includes an upper push plate 551, a lower push plate 552 and an elastic member, wherein the upper push plate 551 is fixedly connected to the force transmission belt 51, and the lower push plate 552 is hinged to the upper push plate 551. The elastic member is arranged between the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552, and one end of the elastic member is connected to the upper push plate 551, and the other end is connected to the lower push plate 552, and the elastic member can keep the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552 on the same reference plane.

[0081] In this embodiment, the elastic member is a torsion spring 553, one end of which is connected to the upper push plate 551, and the other end is connected to the lower push plate 552. Moreover, for easy installation, the push assembly 55 further includes a mounting shaft 554, on which the torsion spring 553 is inserted.

[0082] When the push assembly 55 contacts the material box 200 and pushes the material box 200, the upper push plate 551 contacts the box body 220 to push the box body 220, and the lower push plate 552 contacts the box cover 210 to push the box cover 210, and the torsion spring 553 enables the surfaces of the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552 to be on the same plane, so that both the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552 can contact the material box 200 and prevent the box cover 210 from moving relative to the box body 220 before the material box 200 moves to the position of the thrust portion 33, thereby preventing the food in the material box 200 from spilling.

[0083] When the material box 200 moves to the point where the front end of its box cover 210 abuts against the thrust portion 33, the thrust portion 33 abuts against the box cover 210 so that it cannot move in the thrust direction. Since the upper push plate 551 is hinged with the lower push plate 552, when the upper push plate 551 continues to push the box body 220 under the action of the force transmission belt 51, the lower push plate 552 rotates relative to the upper push plate 551 due to the restriction that the box cover 210 cannot move, so that the lower push plate 552 bypasses the box cover 210, so that the upper push plate 551 continues to push the box body 220 to move along the second guide rail 32. At this time, the opening of the box body 220 is gradually opened, so that the food in the box body 220 can be put into the cooking container 20 in order.

[0084] When the lower push plate 552 rotates relative to the upper push plate 551, the torsion spring 553 stores elastic potential energy. In this way, when the push assembly 55 moves back, the lower push plate 552 is free from the restriction of the box cover 210, so that it can be reset under the action of the torsion spring 553, so as to ensure that when the push assembly 55 pushes the next material box 200, the surfaces of the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552 can be on the same plane, so that the upper push plate 551 and the lower push plate 552 can both contact the material box 200, and prevent the box cover 210 from moving relative to the box body 220 before the material box 200 moves to the position of the thrust portion 33, thereby preventing the food in the material box 200 from spilling. Moreover, after the second material box driving mechanism 50 drives the box body 220 to move to the position of the thrust portion 33, the push assembly 55 can also ensure that the box cover 210 and the box body 220 are re-matched, and move together along the first guide rail 31 to the material box placement portion 101, so as to facilitate the recovery of the empty material box.

[0085] Embodiment 2

[0086] For reference Fig.10 and Fig.11 On the basis of the first embodiment, the cooking device 100 of the second embodiment further includes a material box supply mechanism 60 for conveying the material box 200 to the material box placement portion 101 .

[0087] In this embodiment, the material box supply mechanism 60 is disposed on the frame body, and includes a third guide rail 610 for mounting the material box 200 and a driving component for driving the third guide rail 610 to move so as to transport the material box 200 to the material box placement portion 101. Figure 2 As shown, when the material box 200 is transported to the material box placement portion 101, the third guide rail 610 is docked with the feeding guide rail 30. It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the description of the process of the material box supply mechanism 60 supplying the material box 200, Figure 2 Only a partial structure of the medium material box supply mechanism 60 is shown.

[0088] Specifically, the main reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The driving assembly includes a rotating shaft 621, a first driving member and a bracket 622. The first driving member can drive the rotating shaft 621 to rotate. The bracket 622 is arranged on the rotating shaft 621, and the bracket 622 is provided with a plurality of material box accommodating parts 6222. The plurality of material box accommodating parts 6222 are arranged circumferentially around the rotating shaft 621. The third guide rails 610 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the material box accommodating parts 6222 away from one end of the rotating shaft 621, and the third guide rails 610 are arranged axially along the rotating shaft 621 (that is, the third guide rails 610 are parallel to the rotating shaft 621), and are used to limit the material box 200 pushed in along the third guide rails 610 in the material box accommodating part 6222, so as to prevent the material box 200 from falling out of the material box accommodating part 6222 when the rotating shaft 621 rotates.

[0089] The bracket 622 is formed with a plurality of material box accommodating parts 6222 arranged around the rotating shaft 621, which can accommodate a plurality of material boxes 200 at the same time. In this way, when conveying the material box 200, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 621 to rotate the required material box 200 to the feeding position for feeding. Since the material box 200 only makes circular motion, any material box 200 on the bracket 622 can be quickly moved to the material box placement part 101, thereby improving the feeding rate of the cooking machine; moreover, the third guide rails 610 are relatively arranged on both sides of the material box accommodating part 6222 at one end away from the rotating shaft, and the material box 200 can slide with the third guide rails 610 to limit the material box in the material box accommodating part 6222, so as to prevent the material box 200 from falling out of the material box accommodating part 6222 when the rotating shaft 621 rotates, thereby ensuring the reliability of the material box supply mechanism 60 in conveying the material box 200.

[0090] The rotating shaft 621 and the bracket 622 are located above the material box placement portion 101. The first driving member can be a motor directly connected to the rotating shaft 621, or can be indirectly connected to the rotating shaft 621 through a transmission mechanism such as a synchronous wheel-synchronous belt. When the rotating shaft 621 rotates, the required material box 200 can be rotated to the material box placement portion 101. At this time, the third guide rail 610 is docked with the first guide rail 31, and the first material box driving mechanism 40 can push the material box 200 into the first guide rail 31, and put the food into the cooking container 20 in the manner of the first embodiment.

[0091] It can be understood that the shape of the material box accommodating portion 6222 can be set according to the shape of the material box 200. As a preferred embodiment, since the material box accommodating portions 6222 are arranged in a circular array in this embodiment, when the material box accommodating portions 6222 with a trapezoidal cross section are used, the effect of maximizing the use of the space around the rotating shaft 621 can be achieved, and accordingly, the material box 200 can be loaded with a maximum amount of food.

[0092] In this embodiment, the bracket 622 includes at least two groups of support components arranged at axial intervals along the rotating shaft 621, the support components include a plurality of radially distributed support units 6221, a material box accommodating portion 6222 is provided between each adjacent support unit 6221, and the third guide rail 610 is provided at one end of the support unit 6221 away from the rotating shaft 621.

[0093] Main references Fig.10, the support assembly is provided with two groups, each group of support assemblies includes ten support units 6221, but not limited to ten, and the support units 6221 of the two groups of support assemblies are arranged one by one along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 621, and the two adjacent support units of each group of support assemblies form a material box accommodating portion 6222, and the ten support units 6221 form a total of ten correspondingly arranged material box accommodating portions 6222.
