In this embodiment, each noodle cooking basket is flipped by a separate motor, and the motor corresponds to the noodle cooking basket, and the number of motors is the same as the number of noodle cooking baskets.

[0056] Furthermore, the first driving device adopts a stepping motor. The rotating arm is rotatably supported on the support.

[0057] Example 4

[0058] See also Figure 4In this embodiment, the noodle cooking basket 2 is secured with an auxiliary function plate 14. The plate is provided with a guide portion 142 for directing food when pouring food into bowls, and / or an insulating portion 143 for isolating the hot air from the bottom of the basket when the basket is turned over. The basket is hollowed out for draining water.

[0059] Furthermore, initially, the opening of the noodle cooking basket faces upward, and the auxiliary function panel is erected on the side of the basket. At this point, the upper end of the auxiliary function panel is higher than the upper end of the basket, the height of which can be set as needed, and the lower end of the auxiliary function panel is preferably flush with or lower than the lower end of the basket. The auxiliary function panel is preferably wider than the basket. When the basket is flipped, the auxiliary function panel is located at the lower end of the basket; the flow guide portion of the auxiliary function panel corresponds to the upper portion of the opening of the basket; the auxiliary function panel is fixedly connected to the side wall of the basket; when the basket is flipped, the heat insulation portion of the auxiliary function panel is located at the lower end of the side wall of the basket; the flow guide portion of the auxiliary function panel is provided with a flow guide limit groove, and initially, the flow guide limit groove corresponds to the upper portion of the opening of the basket.

[0060] Furthermore, the auxiliary function plate 14 is provided with a stirring portion, which is used to stir the water in the noodle cooking trough to form a vortex when the auxiliary function plate rotates into the water; the stirring portion of the auxiliary function plate and the insulation portion 143 share the lower end of the auxiliary function plate, and the guide portion is located at the upper end of the auxiliary function plate.

[0061] Furthermore, a bracket is fixed on the auxiliary function panel.

[0062] The noodle cooking basket 2 is fixed on one side of the auxiliary function plate 14 , and a guide limit groove is provided on the side of the auxiliary function plate 14 on which the noodle cooking basket 2 is fixed.

[0063] Furthermore, the auxiliary function plate is a flat plate; folding portions are provided on both sides of the auxiliary function plate to form guide limit grooves.

[0065] The auxiliary function plate of this noodle cooker has three functions: first, it guides the flow of noodles when pouring into bowls. When the basket is turned over, noodles can slide along the auxiliary function plate into the corresponding bowl, ensuring smooth pouring. Second, the rear plate provides layered insulation and filtering. Third, when returning noodles to the water, the rear plate rotates into the water bath, stirring the water and forming a large vortex. The swirling vortex helps to disperse noodles stuck to the basket, loosening them and effectively preventing clumping.

[0066] The flip mechanism of the present invention can flip the noodle cooking basket to various set angles and then position it reliably and stably. The flip mechanism can be used to flip the basket to a certain angle and then stop, allowing food to be removed from the noodle cooking trough and stored in the basket. The basket can also be returned to its original position by a reheating operation, allowing food to be returned to the noodle cooking trough. At this time, the auxiliary function plate of the noodle cooking basket rotates into the water, stirring the water in the noodle cooking trough to form a large vortex. The swirling vortex helps to disperse noodles stuck to the basket, shake out the noodles, and effectively alleviate noodle clumping.

[0067] Other technical features of this embodiment are the same as those of the second embodiment.

[0068] Example 5

[0069] See also Figures 1 to 3 The present embodiment also discloses an automatic noodle cooking method, comprising the following steps: after a noodle transmission mechanism receives food such as noodles or vermicelli coming out of a noodle making machine, the noodle receiving mechanism places the food into a noodle cooking basket of a noodle cooking trough for heating; after heating for a first set time period (the first set time period is set as needed, generally cooking the food to 80% or 80% doneness), the controller controls a flip mechanism to flip the noodle cooking basket to a set angle and then hovers; when the controller receives a command, the flip mechanism flips the noodle cooking basket to return to its initial state, that is, the noodle cooking basket is returned to the noodle cooking trough for reheating; after heating for a second set time period (the second set time period is set as needed, generally a very short time), the controller controls the flip mechanism to flip the noodle cooking basket again, and pours the food in the noodle cooking basket into the corresponding noodle bowls on the bowl loading conveyor belt. The bowl loading conveyor controls the movement of the noodle bowl and cooperates with the loader 12 and the meat slicer 11 to load the ingredients or meat slices into the noodle bowl. When mixing the ingredients, the noodle bowl only moves in a straight line along the bowl loading conveyor 7. After mixing, the noodle bowl is driven by the bowl loading conveyor 7 to the meal dispensing position, and the bowl is pushed out of the meal dispensing channel 9 by the cylinder.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
