[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an automatic cooking machine includes a main body 1. A cooking cavity is provided in the main body 1. A pot body 2 for cooking is provided in the cooking cavity. A feeding mechanism 3 for feeding ingredients into the pot body 2 is provided above the cooking cavity.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 2-3 As shown in the figure, the space in the machine compartment of the main body 1 at the rear of the cooking cavity is a maintenance compartment. A detachable back panel 6 is fixedly provided on the side surface of the main body 1 corresponding to the rear side of the maintenance compartment. Side doors 7 rotatably connected thereto are provided on the side surfaces of the main body 1 corresponding to the left and right sides of the maintenance compartment, and the side doors 7 are detachably and fixedly connected to the main body 1.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 , 8 -10, it further includes a flavoring mechanism 5 for supplying seasonings or sauces to the cooking cavity. The flavoring mechanism 5 includes a mounting bracket 18 and a peristaltic pump group 19 fixedly provided on the mounting bracket 18. The bottom of the mounting bracket 18 is rotatably connected to the maintenance compartment and is detachably and fixedly connected to the maintenance compartment. In the figure, the peristaltic pump group 19 is divided into two groups, with four peristaltic pumps in each group.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 3-4 As shown in the figure, a strong electricity control box 9 and a weak electricity control box 10 are provided in the machine compartment of the main body 1. The strong electricity control box 9 and the weak electricity control box 10 are respectively fixedly provided on the inner side surfaces of the two side doors 7. A pull ring 8 is provided on the outer side surface of the side door 7, which is beneficial to opening the side door 7.

[0036] According to the above technical solution, after opening the back panel 6, rotate the mounting bracket 18 to move it out of the maintenance compartment, and the peristaltic pump group 19 can be quickly maintained, generally by rotating it to a flat position; open the corresponding side door 7 to move the strong electricity control box 9 or the weak electricity control box 10 out of the maintenance compartment, and the strong electricity control box 9 or the weak electricity control box 10 can be quickly maintained.

[0037] Since the peristaltic pump group 19, the high - voltage control box 9, and the low - voltage control box 10 need to be synchronously overhauled, in this embodiment, the side door 7 is detachably and fixedly connected to the back plate 6 of the main body 1. That is to say, after removing the back plate 6, the side door 7 can be opened.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , 6 -7, in which the bottom of the cooking cavity is a heating plate with an arc - shaped columnar structure. The heating plate includes black crystal glass and a heating coil, similar to an induction cooker. The heating plate supplies heat to the pot body 2 in the cooking cavity upward. However, if the inductance and heat radiation of the heating plate are transmitted downward, it is easy to melt other metal components of the main body 1. For this reason, a shielding cover 15 that wraps its bottom surface is provided below the heating plate. The shielding cover 15 is generally made of aluminum. An air inlet 17 is provided on the bottom surface of the shielding cover 15, and heat dissipation fans 16 are provided on both left and right side surfaces of the shielding cover 15. Air outlets 1 - 1 are provided on both left and right side surfaces of the main body 1 corresponding to the heat dissipation fans 16.

[0039] According to the above - mentioned technical solution, on the one hand, the shielding cover 15 blocks the downward transmission of the inductance and heat radiation of the heating plate. On the other hand, the heat dissipation channel composed of the air inlet 17 - the heat dissipation fan 16 - the air outlet 1 - 1 can timely export the waste heat of the heating plate.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 5-6 , 8 - 10. As one of the implementation manners, a rotating shaft 12 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the maintenance bin. The two rotating shafts 12 are kept horizontal and their central axes coincide. A support frame 13 is provided on the front side of the maintenance bin. The mounting bracket 18 is of a U - shaped structure. Slots 18 - 1 extending from its bottom plate to its side plates are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 18. A positioning groove 18 - 2 extending upward along the end of the slot 18 - 1 is provided on the side plate of the mounting bracket 18. The slot 18 - 1 is used to longitudinally guide the rotating shaft 12 into the positioning groove 18 - 2 along the maintenance bin. The top ends of the positioning grooves 18 - 2 provided on the left and right side plates of the mounting bracket 18 are supported on the two rotating shafts 12. The support frame 13 abuts against the mounting bracket 18 and is detachably and fixedly connected to it.

[0041] According to the above - mentioned technical solution, on the basis of realizing that the bottom of the mounting bracket 18 is rotatably connected to the maintenance bin and is detachably and fixedly connected to the maintenance bin, after disconnecting the circuit and pipeline of the peristaltic pump group 19, the mounting bracket 18 can be taken out of the maintenance bin, making the overhaul of the peristaltic pump group 19 more convenient.

[0042] Specifically, moving the mounting bracket 18 upward along the positioning groove 18 - 2 and then moving the mounting bracket 18 backward along the slot 18 - 1 can take it out, and vice versa when installing. In order to make the movement of the mounting bracket 18 smoother, the slot 18 - 1 should be in a horizontal state and the positioning groove 18 - 2 should be in a vertical state.

[0043] Preferably, two parallel limiting plates 11 are provided at the bottom of the maintenance bin, and the distance between the two limiting plates 11 is the same as the width of the mounting bracket 18. The two rotating shafts 12 are respectively arranged on the two limiting plates 11. The above structural design facilitates the insertion or removal of the mounting bracket 18.

[0044] Preferably, the top end of the positioning groove 18-2 is an arc-shaped structure adapted to the rotating shaft 12, which facilitates the rotation of the mounting bracket 18.

[0045] Optionally, when the top ends of the positioning grooves 18-2 provided on the left and right side plates of the mounting bracket 18 are supported on the two rotating shafts 12, and the support frame 13 abuts against the mounting bracket 18 and is detachably and fixedly connected thereto, the mounting bracket 18 remains vertical.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 、 6 As shown in FIGS. 10, it further includes a stirring mechanism 4 for stirring food ingredients. The stirring mechanism 4 includes a stirring motor 14 arranged in the maintenance bin. A first opening 18-3 is provided at the position corresponding to the stirring motor 14 on the mounting bracket 18 to avoid the stirring motor 14 and prevent interference.

[0047] Furthermore, a second opening 18-4 is also provided on the mounting bracket 18 for passing the lines and pipelines connecting the peristaltic pump group 19.

[0048] Generally speaking, the peristaltic pump group 19 of the present invention is integrally arranged on the mounting bracket 18, and the bottom of the mounting bracket 18 is rotatably connected to the maintenance bin and is detachably and fixedly connected thereto to form a peristaltic pump module. At the same time, side doors 7 rotatably connected thereto are provided on the left and right side surfaces of the main body 1 corresponding to the maintenance bin, and the side doors 7 are detachably and fixedly connected to the main body 1. The strong electric control box 9 and the weak electric control box 10 are respectively arranged on the inner side surfaces of the two side doors 7 to form a strong electric control module and a weak electric control module.

[0049] Based on the modular layout of the peristaltic pump group 19, the strong electric control box 9 and the weak electric control box 10 in the maintenance bin, in the large-scale production of the cooking machine, it is beneficial to the coordination between the supply chains and reduces the production and manufacturing costs. During the use of the cooking machine, after opening the back panel 6, rotating the mounting bracket 18 can quickly repair the peristaltic pump 19 group, and opening the corresponding side door 7 can quickly repair the strong electric control box 9 or the weak electric control box 10. The whole machine is easy to operate and maintain and has low maintenance costs.

[0050] It should be noted that in this automatic cooking machine, the detachable and fixed connection is carried out by screws.

[0051] Certainly, the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of use of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the principle of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
