Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to an automatic pancake maker. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, kitchen appliances have become increasingly popular, and a variety of fully automatic cooking appliances have emerged. For example, automatic pancake makers can automate the entire pancake-making process. Users simply prepare ingredients like flour and water, and the machine automatically performs the steps of kneading, pressing, and folding the pancakes, resulting in fresh and delicious pancakes. Once the pancake is ready, the machine's pusher pushes the pancake through a window in the door mechanism, where it slides out of the machine along the window panel, allowing the user to conveniently remove the pancake.

[0003] However, due to the large contact area between the pancake and the window and door panel of the door device, the resistance to pushing the pancake to move is also large, which causes the automatic pancake machine to often fail to completely push the pancake out, affecting the user experience of the automatic pancake machine.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automatic cake making machine that can improve the reliability of the cake pushing process so as to improve the user experience of the automatic cake making machine. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of an automatic cake making machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1As shown, the front of the automatic pancake making machine 1 is provided with a door device 2. The door device 2 is provided with a window 2a and a door panel 4 for closing the window 2a. The lower frame of the window 2a is connected to the lower end of the door panel 4. The door panel 4 can move between a closed position and an open position.

[0034] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, the door panel 4 is in the open position, and the pancakes made by the automatic pancake machine 1 can be pushed by the pancake pusher 3 and moved from the inside of the automatic pancake machine 1 through the window 2a to the inner surface of the door panel 4.

[0035] In the open position, the angle between the plane where the door panel 4 is located and the horizontal plane 7 is between 5 degrees and 30 degrees, preferably 15 degrees. The inner surface of the door panel 4 refers to the surface facing the interior of the automatic biscuit machine 1 when the door panel 4 is in the closed position.

[0036] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, the door panel 4 is in the open position and the inner surface of the door panel 4 is visible. In the present embodiment, the lower end of the door panel 4 is further provided with a rolling assembly 8. Once the pancake pusher 3 pushes the pancake out of the window 2a, the pancake first contacts the rolling assembly 8. As the pancake pusher 3 continues to push the pancake 3 outward, the pancake drives the rolling assembly 8 to rotate. The portion of the pancake that passes through the rolling assembly 8 slides on the inner surface of the door panel 4 until the entire pancake has passed through the rolling assembly 8 and falls on the inner surface of the door panel 4. When the entire pancake falls on the inner surface of the door panel 4, the pancake stops sliding due to the increase in friction. Therefore, the rolling assembly 8 can guide the pancake to slide on the inner surface of the door panel 4 and then fall on the inner surface of the door panel 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner surface of the door panel 4 further includes two latching grooves 4b and 4c for mounting the rolling assembly 8. The inner surface of the door panel 4 may also be provided with sliding ribs 4a extending in the sliding direction of the pancake. At least two, preferably three, sliding ribs 4a may be provided to ensure that the pancake can slide stably on the inner surface of the door panel 4. The sliding ribs 4a are preferably parallel to each other and equidistant.

[0038] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The door device 2 and the door panel 4 according to the embodiment of the present disclosure are respectively shown in detail. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two door pivot pin grooves 2b and 2c are provided on the lower frame of the window 2a of the door device 2, and two door pivot pins 4d and 4e are provided on the lower end of the door panel 4. The two door pivot pins 4d and 4e are respectively embedded in the two door pivot pin grooves 2b and 2c, so that the door panel 4 can rotate between the open position and the closed position about the door pivot pins 4d and 4e.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rolling assembly 8 includes a tubular shaft 6 and a sleeve 5. A sleeve hole 5a is provided in the center of the sleeve 5. The length of the sleeve 5 is less than the distance between the two retaining grooves 4b and 4c. In the assembled state, the tubular shaft 6 is embedded in the sleeve hole 5a of the sleeve 5 (in other words, the sleeve 5 is sleeved outside the tubular shaft 6), so that the sleeve 5 can rotate around the tubular shaft 6. The cross-sections of the tubular shaft 6 and the sleeve 5 can be circular. The two ends of the tubular shaft 6 are respectively installed in the two retaining grooves 4b and 4c at the lower end of the door panel 4. The upper end surfaces of the retaining grooves 4b and 4c form an inclined surface with the door edge 4f of the door panel 4, and the sliding surface of the sliding rib 4a provided on the door panel 4 is coplanar with the inclined surface.

[0040] In this embodiment, the pipe axis 6 is parallel to the door axis pins 4d and 4e (i.e., the rotation axis of the door panel 4). After the automatic pancake machine has finished making the pancake, the pancake pusher 3 pushes the pancake through the window 2a of the door device 2, and then delivers the pancake to the sleeve 5 of the rolling assembly 8. The bottom surface of the pancake is in contact with the sleeve 5, and the movement of the pancake causes the sleeve 5 to rotate around the pipe axis 6. When half of the pancake has passed through the sleeve 5, due to the weight of the pancake itself, the inertial rotation of the sleeve 5, and the inclined surface formed by the door panel 4, the pancake slides downward along the sliding ribs 4a arranged at intervals on the inner surface of the door panel 4, and then lands on the inner surface of the door panel 4, making it convenient for the user to pick it up.

[0041] In this embodiment, the pancake is guided to slide on the door panel 4 by the rotation of the sleeve 5, which reduces the resistance of the pancake in the process of sliding out of the automatic pancake machine 1, so that the pancake can slide smoothly out of the window 2a of the automatic pancake machine 1, thereby improving the reliability of the pancake pushing process and improving the user experience of the automatic pancake machine 1.
