[0119] The present application will be further described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0120] Example 1
[0121] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides an automatic cooking machine 100. The automatic cooking machine 100 comprises a pot 10, a rotating driver 30, a moving driver 70, a pot limiter 20 and a control unit 80. The pot 10 has a spherical cavity for accommodating food materials 60. The pot limiter 20 has an internal space for mounting the pot 10, and the lower part and the side of the internal space are provided with positioning seats for accommodating and positioning the pot 10. The pot limiter 20 has a take-out port 201 for the pot 10 to move out of the internal space. The take-out port 201 is opened towards the upper part of the pot limiter 20. In use, the pot 10 located outside the pot limiter 20 is first loaded into the pot limiter 20 through the take-out port 201, then the food materials 60 to be cooked are added into the pot 10, after the food materials 60 are added, the pot 10 is heated and driven to rotate to achieve the effect of stirring the food materials 60, and finally the processed food materials 60 are taken out of the pot 10, and the pot 10 is taken out of the pot limiter 20 through the take-out port 201. The pot 10 is detachably mounted on the pot limiter 20, which facilitates the taking out of the pot 10 from the pot limiter 20 for cleaning and subsequent cooking process.
[0122] As shown in Figure 14 The control unit 80 is used to control the moving driver 70 to drive the pot 10 to switch between the first heating position and the second heating position. For simplicity of description, the switching movement of the pot 10 between the first heating position and the second heating position is named as the first movement. The first movement can also be regarded as the swinging of the pot 10 in the pot limiter 20, and the first heating position and the second heating position are provided in the pot limiter 20. The bottom of the pot 10 is spherical, and the top of the pot 10 is annular. The moving driver 70 abuts against the annular part of the pot 10, and the moving driver 70 provides driving force to the pot 10 under the control of the control unit 80 to drive the pot 10 to switch between the first heating position and the second heating position. The pot limiter 20 limits the first movement direction of the pot 10, and the bottom of the pot 10 is always in contact with the pot limiter 20 during the first movement.
[0123] The pot 10 is provided with a blocking part 104 protruding from the surface of the pot 10, and the blocking part 104 protrudes from the bottom of the pot 10 to the spherical cavity in the pot 10. As shown in Figure 9As shown, when the pot body 10 is in the first heating position, the pot body 10 heats the B face of the plate-shaped food material 60, and the heating process ensures that the pot body 10 is stable or slightly shakes left and right, so as to realize single-side frying of the B face of the plate-shaped food material 60. When the B face is fried, the moving driver 70 drives the pot body 10 to switch to the second heating position. In the process of switching the position of the pot body 10, the food material 60 in the pot is thrown up due to inertia, and is flipped in the process of being thrown up due to the obstruction of the blocking part 104. Therefore, when the pot body 10 switches to the second heating position, the A face of the food material 60 contacts and is heated by the pot body 10, so as to realize frying and roasting of the A face of the food material 60. In order to ensure that the food material 60 can touch the blocking part 104 in the process of being thrown up, the blocking part 104 is arranged between the lowest point of the pot body 10 in the first heating position and the lowest point of the pot body 10 in the second heating position, so as to ensure that the food material 60 can touch the blocking part 104 in the process of switching the position of the pot body 10, thereby realizing flipping.
[0124] The control unit 80 controls the connection and disconnection of the rotating driver 30 and the pot body 10. In actual use, before the pot body 10 switches from the first heating position to the second heating position, the control unit 80 first controls the disconnection of the rotating driver 30 and the pot body 10, then drives the moving driver 70 to drive the pot body 10 to switch from the first heating position to the second heating position, and then controls the connection of the rotating driver 30 and the pot body 10, so as to drive the rotation of the pot body 10 in the second heating position. The pot body 10 has a symmetrical rotation axis 101, which is not a solid axis but a spatial concept axis. The symmetrical rotation axis 101 is the symmetry axis of the pot body 10, and the pot body 10 is symmetrical about the symmetrical rotation axis 101. The rotating driver 30 is used to drive the rotation of the pot body 10 in the pot body limiter 20 about the symmetrical rotation axis 101. As shown in the figure, Figure 2 As shown, the rotating driver 30 is connected to the pot body 10, and the rotating driver 30 is used to drive the rotation of the pot body 10 in the pot body limiter 20. In the process of frying, the food material 60 adhering to the bottom of the pot can be brought to a higher position due to rotation, and can naturally fall under the action of gravity, thereby avoiding the burning of the food material 60 caused by long-time heating adhering to the bottom of the pot.
[0125] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the shape of the inner wall of the pot limiter 20 matches the shape of the pot 10, the inner wall of the pot limiter 20 is enclosed to form a spherical region, the lower part of the pot 10 is also spherical in shape, and the size of the spherical region of the pot limiter 20 and the spherical shape of the lower part of the pot 10 matches, so that the pot limiter 20 and the pot 10 match each other. After the pot 10 is installed in the pot limiter 20, the pot limiter 20 can match the pot 10 and limit the movement of the pot 10 in the pot limiter 20, avoiding the existence of a gap between the two due to the mismatch of the shapes, and the movement of the pot 10 in the pot limiter 20 during use. The axis of rotation of the first movement and the pot 10 around the symmetry rotation axis 101 passes through the center of the spherical region, so that the bottom of the pot 10 is always in contact with the pot limiter 20 during the first movement swing, ensuring that the pot limiter 20 plays a limiting role on the pot 10. In other embodiments, the matching region of the pot 10 and the pot limiter 20 can also be a reverse spherical shape, that is, the bottom of the pot 10 is a concave spherical shape, and the pot limiter 20 is a convex spherical shape, which can also achieve the matching and limiting effect of the pot limiter 20 on the pot 10.
[0126] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 In this embodiment, the automatic cooking machine 100 also has a circumferential limiter 40, which protrudes from the pot limiter 20 to the pot 10. When the pot 10 is placed in the pot limiter 20, the circumferential limiter 40 abuts against the pot 10 along the diameter direction of the spherical shape of the pot 10, preventing the pot 10 from rotating around the symmetry rotation axis 101 without being driven by a driving force. In other embodiments, the circumferential limiter 40 can not be provided, and the movement of the pot 10 can be limited only by the limiting effect of the pot limiter 20.
[0127] As shown in the figure, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figure, a recess 102 matching the circumferential limiter 40 is provided on the outer periphery of the pot 10, the recess 102 is provided at the largest diameter of the pot 10 in the extension direction of the symmetry rotation axis 101, and the shape of the recess 102 matches the shape of the side of the circumferential limiter 40 close to the pot 10, and the circumferential limiter 40 abuts against the recess 102 on the outer periphery of the pot 10. When the pot 10 does not rotate, the circumferential limiter 40 abuts in the recess 102, thereby preventing the pot 10 from rotating without being driven. When the pot 10 is subjected to a load for rotation around the symmetry rotation axis 101, the pot 10 rotates, the circumferential limiter 40 exits the recess 102, and the pot 10 stops rotating until the circumferential limiter 40 abuts against the next recess 102 distributed along the circumferential direction of the pot 10. The minimum angle of rotation of the pot 10 around the symmetry rotation axis 101 is the central angle of the two adjacent recesses 102.
[0128] The circumferential position limiter 40 includes a positioning body 401 protruding from the inner wall of the pot position limiter 20 and a supporting body 402, the positioning body 401 abuts against the pot 10, and the supporting body 402 is arranged between the positioning body 401 and the pot position limiter 20. The supporting body 402 is used to provide the positioning body 401 with an elastic force to make the positioning body 401 abut against the pot 10. In the embodiment, the supporting body 402 is a spring, and the positioning body 401 is a steel ball. In other embodiments, the supporting body 402 can also be a spring sheet or other structure capable of providing an elastic force in a straight line direction, and the positioning body 401 can also be a ball made of plastic or other hard materials.
[0129] The pot position limiter 20 is provided with a containing groove 202 extending along the radial direction of the pot 10. The containing groove 202 is a cylindrical cavity. The circumferential position limiter 40 is arranged in the containing groove 202, and the supporting body 402 is completely arranged in the containing groove 202, and the positioning body 401 partially protrudes from the port of the containing groove 202 close to the side of the pot 10 and abuts against the corresponding recess 102 on the pot 10. A part of the positioning body 401 is arranged in the containing groove 202.
[0130] As shown in Figure 5 , the pot position limiter 20 has a first heating position and a second heating position. The pot 10 is switched between the first heating position and the second heating position by a first movement. When the pot 10 produces the first movement relative to the pot position limiter 20, the circumferential position limiter 40 serves as a rotation axis to support the pot 10. The circumferential position limiter 40 serves as the movement axis of the pot 10, and the axial direction of the circumferential position limiter 40 extends through the spherical center of the pot 10.
[0131] The number of recesses 102 is even, and a plurality of recesses 102 are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the pot 10. When the pot 10 rotates in the pot position limiter 20 with the circumferential position limiter 40 as the rotation axis, there are circumferential position limiters 40 abutting against the pot 10 on both sides along the spherical diameter direction of the pot 10, so that both sides of the pot 10 can have circumferential position limiters 40 as the rotation axis to support the pot 10, thereby making the rotation of the pot 10 around the circumferential position limiter 40 more stable when the pot 10 makes the first movement.
[0132] In the embodiment, the bottom of the pot limiter 20 has a driving opening (not shown in the figure) for the rotation driver 30 to drive the pot 10 to rotate in the pot limiter 20. The bottom of the pot 10 has a coupling part 103 extending away from the pot 10 along the symmetry rotation axis 101. When the pot 10 moves between the first heating position and the second heating position in the pot limiter 20, the coupling part 103 also moves between the driving openings. The rotation driver 30 connects the coupling part 103 through the driving openings and transmits the load for driving the pot 10 to rotate around the symmetry rotation axis 101 to the pot 10 through the coupling part 103. In other embodiments, the driving openings can be arranged on the side of the pot limiter 20 instead of the bottom of the pot limiter 20, or the driving openings are not arranged and the pot 10 is made of magnetic material. The rotation driver 30 is arranged outside the pot limiter 20 to drive the pot 10 to rotate by magnetism. The rotation driver 30 drives the pot 10 to rotate in the pot limiter 20 by changing the magnetic field with different currents at different times to change the direction.
[0133] As shown in Figure 9 , the rotation driver 30 includes a first rotation driving part 301 and a second rotation driving part 302. In the embodiment, the first rotation driving part 301 and the second rotation driving part 302 both have a driving motor as a power source to drive the pot 10 to rotate around the symmetry rotation axis 101. Figure 11 As shown in , when the pot 10 is in the first heating position, the pot 10 performs the first movement under the driving of the first rotation driving part 301. At this time, the pot 10 and the second rotation driving part 302 are not connected. To avoid the pot 10, the second rotation driving part 302 should be retracted.
[0134] Figure 12 As shown in , when the pot 10 is in the second heating position, the pot 10 performs the first movement under the driving of the second rotation driving part 302. At this time, the pot 10 and the first rotation driving part 301 are not connected. When the first rotation driving part 301 or the second rotation driving part 302 is connected with the pot 10, the driving motor output shaft of the first rotation driving part 301 or the second rotation driving part 302 is connected with the tangent plane of the surface of the pot 10 perpendicularly. When the motor output shaft and the surface of the pot 10 are connected perpendicularly to drive the pot 10 to rotate, the rotation of the pot 10 only has the rotation movement around the motor output shaft and does not have the rotation movement around other axes. The rotation movement of the pot 10 is simplified while the rotation of the pot 10 is ensured, and the stability of the pot 10 when rotating is improved.
[0135] Based on the above description, it can be known that the pot body 10 can rotate along the motor output shaft at different angles during the entire heating process, and the food material 60 can be flipped during switching between the plurality of heating positions, so that the plurality of surfaces of the food material 60 can be uniformly heated, and the performance of the automatic cooking machine 100 in preventing the food material from being burnt is further improved.
[0136] In other embodiments, the rotary driver 30 can also be provided with only one first rotary driving part 301 or second rotary driving part 302, and at this time, in order to achieve the effect of flipping the food material 60, the blocking part 104 can be arranged on the side of the pot body away from the rotary driver 30.
[0137] In the embodiment, the coupling part 103 is a protruding shaft extending from the bottom of the pot body 10 in the direction of the symmetric rotary shaft 101 and away from the pot body 10. The first rotary driving part 301 and the second rotary driving part 302 are respectively provided with a shaft sleeve 303, and the pot body 10 is connected through the protruding shaft and the shaft sleeve 303. The inner surface of the shaft sleeve 303 is connected with the protruding shaft in a matched manner.
[0138] In other embodiments, a groove can be arranged on the bottom of the pot body 10, and the first rotary driving part 301 and the second rotary driving part 302 are respectively provided with protruding rotary shafts for extending into the groove on the bottom of the pot body 10, and the rotary shafts and the groove are matched to drive the pot body 10 to rotate.
[0139] The bottom of the pot body stopper 20 is provided with a heating part 50, and the pot body 10 can rotate relative to the heating part 50. The pot body 10 can rotate to change the heating area of the heating part 50 relative to the pot body 10, and improve the uniformity of heating of each area of the pot body 10. As shown in Figure 2 During rotation, the food material 60 adhering to the bottom of the pot can be brought to a higher position due to rotation, and can naturally fall under the action of gravity, avoiding the food material 60 from being burnt due to long-time heating adhering to the bottom of the pot.
[0140] The covering area of the heating part 50 is smaller than the heating area of the pot body 10, and the covering area of the heating part 50 is the area of the heating part 50 relative to the pot body 10 that can heat the pot body 10. The heating part 50 is arranged on the bottom of the pot body 10 in the vertical direction, and the heating part 50 can only heat a region on the bottom of the pot body 10 in the vertical direction. When the pot performs the first motion of rotating around the circumferential stopper 40, the region that has been heated by the heating part 50 before rotation moves away from the heating part 50 with the rotation of the pot body 10, and the region that has not been heated before is turned to be opposite to the heating part 50 and is heated by the heating part 50 with the rotation of the pot body 10. In addition, with the rotation of the pot body 10 around the symmetric rotary shaft 101, each region of the pot body 10 can be heated by the heating part 50, improving the uniformity of heating of each part of the pot body 10, and avoiding the situation that the temperature of part of the region of the pot body 10 is too high, causing the food material 60 in the part of the pot body 10 to be burnt.
[0141] As shown in Figure 1 order to prevent food 60 in the pot from spilling out of the pot 10 during cooking, the angle between the axis of symmetry 101 and the vertical direction is between 10° and 60° when the pot 10 is in the first heating position or the second heating position. Preferably, the angle between the axis of symmetry 101 and the vertical direction is 45° when the pot 10 is in the first heating position or the second heating position. Setting the angle to 45° can prevent the pot 10 from moving too little when switching between the first heating position and the second heating position, which can reduce the success rate of turning over the food 60. It can also prevent the food 60 in the pot 10 from spilling out when the pot 10 moves too violently when switching between the first heating position and the second heating position.
[0142] In this embodiment, the angle between the axis of symmetry 101 and the vertical direction is between 10° and 60°. In other embodiments, the angle can be less than 10° or slightly greater than 60°, but the angle cannot be too close to 0°, so that the food 60 cannot be turned over when the pot 10 changes position. The angle can also be slightly greater than 60°, for example, it can be 65° or 70°, etc., but it cannot be too large, for example, it cannot be close to 90°. If the angle is close to 90°, the food 60 can fly out of the pot 10 due to inertia after the pot 10 switches position.
[0143] In this embodiment, the blocking portion 104 is arranged at the center of the bottom of the pot 10, i.e., at the intersection of the axis of symmetry 101 and the pot 10. The blocking portion 104 is a rod-shaped object that protrudes from the bottom of the pot 10 into the spherical cavity of the pot 10. Arranging the blocking portion 104 at the center of the bottom of the pot 10 can improve the success rate of turning over the food 60 during the process of being thrown up by the blocking portion 104. When the pot 10 switches between the first heating position and the second heating position each time, the food 60 can as much as possible hit the blocking portion 104, thereby achieving the turning over of the food 60. In other embodiments, the blocking portion 104 can not be arranged at the center of the bottom of the pot 10, but can be slightly offset from the center of the bottom of the pot 10, as long as the blocking portion 104 is arranged between the lowest point of the pot 10 when the pot 10 is in the first heating position (i.e., the lowest point of the pot 10 in the vertical direction when the pot 10 is in the first heating position as shown in Figure 9 ) and the lowest point of the pot 10 when the pot 10 is in the second heating position (i.e., the lowest point of the pot 10 in the vertical direction when the pot 10 is in the second heating position as shown in Figure 10 ).
[0144] The moving actuator 70 is used to provide an impact load to the pot body 10, under which the pot body 10 switches between a first heating position and a second heating position. In this embodiment, the impact load refers to a load whose acceleration changes abruptly, and there is no limitation on how the moving actuator 70 applies the impact load to the pot body 10. The form of application of the impact load is not limited to pushing, pulling, or other methods on the pot body 10. In other embodiments, the load applied by the moving actuator 70 to the pot body 10 may not be an impact load, that is, the load applied by the moving actuator 70 to the pot body 10 may not be abruptly changed, as long as the load can cause the food 60 inside the pot body 10 to be thrown up when the pot body 10 switches positions.
[0145] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the moving drive 70 includes a first impact part 701 and a second impact part 702. The second impact part 702 is used to provide an impact load to the pot body 10 to move the pot body 10 to a second heating position. When the pot body 10 is in the first heating position, the second impact part 702 abuts against the right side wall of the pot body 10. When the control unit 80 of the automatic cooking machine 100 does not send an impact signal to the second impact part 702, the second impact part 702 merely abuts against the pot body 10 without moving; when the control unit 80 determines that it is necessary to switch the pot body 10 from the first heating position to the second heating position, the control unit 80 sends an action signal to the second impact part 702. After receiving the action signal, the second impact part 702 provides an impact load with a step change in acceleration to the pot body 10, causing the pot body 10 to swing to the second heating position. Figure 10 The second heating position is shown. When the pot body 10 is in the second heating position, the first impact part 701 provides an impact load to the pot body 10 to move the pot body 10 to the first heating position. When the pot body 10 is in the second heating position, the first impact part 701 abuts against the left side wall of the pot body 10. When the control unit 80 does not send an impact signal to the first impact part 701, the first impact part 701 merely abuts against the pot body 10 without moving; when the control unit 80 determines that it is necessary to switch the pot body 10 from the second heating position to the first heating position, the control unit 80 sends an action signal to the first impact part 701. After receiving the action signal, the first impact part 701 provides an impact load with a step change in acceleration to the pot body 10, causing the pot body 10 to swing to the first heating position. Figure 9 In the first heating position shown, during the swinging process of the pot body 10, the food 60 inside the pot is first thrown up due to inertia, and then the food 60 will be flipped over and fall into the pot body 10 under the obstruction of the blocking part 104.
[0146] In other embodiments, the mobile driver 70 can also be provided with a first impact part 701 without the second impact part 702, and the first impact part 701 is used to push the pot body 10 from the first heating position to the second heating position, and the magnetic attraction device provided in the first impact part 701 is used to attract the pot body 10 from the second heating position back to the first heating position.
[0147] As shown in Figure 13 the first impact part 701 and the second impact part 702 are both impact hammers, and the impact hammers are electromagnetically driven. When the pot body 10 is located at the first heating position, the hammer head of the impact hammer of the second impact part 702 abuts against the right side wall of the pot body 10. When the second impact part 702 receives a signal from the control unit 80, the electromagnetic coil in the second impact part 702 is rapidly energized and drives the impact hammer to output a transient force F to the pot body 10, and the included angle β between the transient force F and the vertical direction is between -60° and 90°, and in the present embodiment, the included angle β is preferably 5°. The structure of the second impact part 702 is the same as that of the first impact part 701, and will not be described in detail here. The difference between the two is only that the second impact part 702 and the first impact part 701 are provided at different positions, and the first impact part 701 is provided to abut against the left side wall of the pot body 10 when the pot body 10 is located at the second heating position. In other embodiments, the first impact part 701 or the second impact part 702 can also be in the form of a combination of an electromagnet and a permanent magnet, the permanent magnet is installed on the side wall of the pot body 10, when it is needed to push the pot body 10, the electromagnet is energized, and the pot body 10 is switched between the first heating position and the second heating position according to the repulsion between the magnets. In other embodiments, a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic power source can also be used to push the pot body 10.
[0148] The present embodiment also provides a control method of the automatic cooking machine 100, and the control method comprises the following steps:
[0149] When the pot 10 is in the first heating position or the second heating position, the rotating drive part is connected to the coupling part 103 on the bottom of the pot 10. When it is needed to drive the pot 10 to switch the heating position, first, step S10, the control unit 80 controls the rotating drive part and the pot 10 to be disconnected. After step S10, the pot 10 and the rotating drive part are not rigidly connected, and the pot 10 can make the first movement in the pot limiter 20. S20, the control unit 80 controls the moving drive 70 to drive the pot 10 to move from the first heating position to the second heating position. After S20, the pot 10 switches the heating position in the pot limiter 20, and the food 60 in the pot 10 is turned over. Finally, S30, the control unit 80 controls the rotating drive part to be connected to the pot 10. After S30, the pot 10 is reconnected to the rotating drive part, and the rotating drive part drives the pot 10 to rotate around the symmetrical rotation axis 101 in the pot limiter 20 to change the relative position between the heated area of the pot 10 and the heating part 50, so as to avoid that the temperature of the part of the pot 10 is too high, which causes the food 60 in the pot 10 to be burnt.
[0150] Embodiment 2
[0151] The embodiment provides an automatic cooking machine 100, which is substantially same as the automatic cooking machine in the embodiment 1, and the difference is that the blocking part 104 in the embodiment 1 is a round rod object, and in the embodiment, the upper edge of the blocking part 104 is a polygonal structure.
[0152] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 8 the upper edge of the blocking part 104 is a regular polygon, and the number of edges of the upper edge of the blocking part 104 is same as the number of the concaves 102. In the embodiment, the upper part of the blocking part 104 is a regular octagon, and the number of the concaves 102 on the outer circumferential surface of the pot 10 is also eight. In this way, no matter which two opposite concaves 102 the circumferential limiter 40 abuts on the pot 10, when the pot 10 is switched between the first heating position and the second heating position with the circumferential limiter 40 as the rotation axis, the food 60 in the pot can be in contact with the blocking part 104 as much as possible to improve the success rate of turning over of the food 60 in the process of the first movement of the pot 10.
[0153] Embodiment 3
[0154] The embodiment provides an automatic cooking machine 100, which is substantially same as the automatic cooking machine in the embodiment 1, and the difference is that the rotating drive 30 in the embodiment adopts a single motor rotating telescopic device 3001.
[0155] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figures 15-22As shown, the single-motor rotating and telescoping device 3001 includes a power source and an output end. In this embodiment, the power source is a motor 9100, and the motor 9100 outputs through a rotating wheel 9110, and the output end is a shaft sleeve 303. The shaft sleeve 303 cooperates with a coupling portion 103 on the pot body 10 driven by the single-motor rotating and telescoping device 3001, and drives the pot body 10 to rotate.
[0156] In this embodiment, the single-motor rotating and telescoping device 3001 further includes a rotating transmission portion and a telescoping transmission portion. The rotating transmission portion and the telescoping transmission portion respectively cooperate with the rotating wheel 9110 of the motor 9100, the rotating transmission portion drives the shaft sleeve 303 to rotate under the drive of the motor 9100, and the telescoping transmission portion drives the shaft sleeve 303 to telescope under the drive of the motor 9100. The telescoping transmission portion further includes a main one-way transmission device. When the motor 9100 outputs forward rotation, the main one-way transmission device prevents the telescoping transmission portion from transmitting; when the motor 9100 outputs reverse rotation, the telescoping transmission portion drives the shaft sleeve 303 to extend or retract under the drive of the motor 9100.
[0157] In this embodiment, the motor 9100 drives the rotating transmission portion and the telescoping transmission portion to respectively realize the rotation and the telescoping of the shaft sleeve 303. In use, the motor 9100 is switched between the forward rotation output state and the reverse rotation output state, and whether the shaft sleeve 303 is telescoped under the transmission of the telescoping transmission portion is controlled by the main one-way transmission device in the telescoping transmission portion, so as to realize the needs of the telescoping and the rotation of the single motor 9100, and provide a single-motor rotating and telescoping device 3001 controlled by the single motor 9100.
[0158] Specifically, as shown in Figures 15-22 The main one-way transmission device includes a first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 includes a first ratchet wheel 9311 located at an inner ring and a first pawl 9312 located at an outer ring, an outer side surface of the first ratchet wheel 9311 has a protruding first transmission block 9313, the first pawl 9312 is opposite to the first transmission block 9313 in direction, and the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 only realizes transmission in a single clock direction.
[0159] In this embodiment, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 is adopted as the main one-way transmission device, when the first ratchet wheel 9311 rotates forward relative to the first pawl 9312, the first pawl 9312 engages with the first transmission block 9313 and realizes the transmission effect together; when the first ratchet wheel 9311 rotates reversely relative to the first pawl 9312, the first pawl 9312 rotates relative to the transmission block and thus cannot realize the transmission effect.
[0160] As shown in Figures 15-22As shown, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 in this embodiment adopts a ratchet wheel structure composed of pawls extending in a single direction, and in other embodiments, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 can adopt a form such as a friction block or a friction strip and a belt wheel contact to achieve single-minute hand direction transmission.
[0161] As shown, the first transmission block 9313 and the first ratchet wheel 9311 are also provided with a first elastic sheet 9314, and the first transmission block 9313 is always abutted against the first pawl 9312 under the pushing force of the first elastic sheet 9314. The first elastic sheet 9314 in this embodiment keeps exerting outward pushing force on the first transmission block 9313, so that the first transmission block 9313 can be immediately pushed onto the next first pawl 9312 when the first pawl 9312 is disengaged, without affecting the one-way transmission of the overall first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31. Figures 15-22
[0162] Those skilled in the art should understand that the first elastic sheet 9314 is adopted as a component to provide outward pushing force in this embodiment, and in other embodiments, the same effect can be achieved by changing the connection mode of the first transmission block 9313 and the ratchet wheel, or adding a torsional spring or other elastic structure. In the actual design and manufacturing process, those skilled in the art should comprehensively consider factors such as cost, volume, and service life to select the most appropriate structure as the component to provide pushing force.
[0163] As shown, the rotation transmission part includes a secondary one-way transmission device. When the motor 9100 outputs positive rotation, the rotation transmission part drives the shaft sleeve 303 to rotate under the drive of the motor 9100, and when the motor 9100 outputs reverse rotation, the secondary one-way rotation stopping device prevents the rotation transmission part from transmitting. Figures 15-22 In this embodiment, the motor 9100 drives the rotation transmission part and the extension transmission part to respectively realize the rotation and extension of the shaft sleeve 303, and the motor 9100 is switched between positive rotation output state and reverse rotation output state during use, and the secondary one-way transmission device in the rotation transmission part is used to control the shaft sleeve 303 to stop rotating when extending and contracting under the transmission of the extension transmission part, so as to realize the transmission mode of not extending when rotating and not rotating when extending on the basis of meeting the needs of extension and rotation of the single motor 9100, reduce the wear of components, and prolong the service life.
[0164] Specifically, as shown,
[0165] Figures 15-22 As shown, the auxiliary one-way transmission device includes a second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41, which includes a second ratchet wheel 9411 located at the inner ring and a second pawl 9412 located at the outer ring. The outer surface of the second ratchet wheel 9411 has a protruding second transmission block 9413, and the second pawl 9412 is opposite to the second transmission block 9413. The second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 only realizes transmission in a single clock direction. A second spring 9414 is further arranged between the second transmission block 9413 and the second ratchet wheel 9411. The second transmission block 9413 is always pushed against the second pawl 9412 under the pushing force of the second spring 9414. The second spring 9414 in the embodiment can immediately push the second transmission block 9413 onto the next second pawl 9412 when the second pawl 9412 is disengaged, without affecting the one-way transmission of the overall second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41.
[0166] In the embodiment, since the first pawl 9312 and the second pawl 9412 are directly or indirectly matched with the rotating wheel 9110 of the motor 9100, the second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 is mirror-symmetrical to the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 as a whole, that is, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 and the second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 have opposite transmission directions. Therefore, as shown in the figure, in the embodiment, the second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 includes a second ratchet wheel 9411, a second pawl 9412, a second transmission block 9413, and a second spring 9414. Figures 1-5
[0167] However, in other embodiments of the application, the rotating wheel 9110 of the motor 9100 can be directly transmitted to the first ratchet wheel 9311 and the second ratchet wheel 9411 on the inner side of the ratchet wheel structure, thereby eliminating the negative effects caused by the structural differences between the two. For example, the transmission direction of the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 is in turn the rotating wheel 9110 of the motor 9100-the first pawl 9312-the first ratchet wheel 9311, and the transmission direction of the second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 is in turn the rotating wheel 9110 of the motor 9100-the second ratchet wheel 9411-the second pawl 9412. At this time, the first ratchet wheel 9311 structure 31 and the second ratchet wheel 9411 structure 41 have the same transmission direction, and the structure can also adopt the same specifications, which is convenient for design and assembly.
[0168] Although the main one-way transmission device and the auxiliary one-way transmission device are used to realize the transmission switching of two-direction output in the embodiment, the auxiliary one-way transmission device can be cancelled as appropriate in other embodiments. At this time, the rotary transmission part is always matched with the motor 9100 and realizes real-time transmission function. That is, no matter whether the motor 9100 is forward or reverse, the shaft sleeve 303 will be kept rotating under the action of the rotary transmission part.
[0169] Specifically, in the use scenario of the present embodiment, the shaft sleeve 303 has an internal hexagonal recess 9210 for interfacing with the interfacing portion outside the single-motor rotary telescopic device 3001. At this time, if it is necessary to make the shaft sleeve 303 telescopic, it is necessary to stop rotating to reduce resistance and wear. In the use scenario of other embodiments, however, it can be possible to smoothly realize the telescopic function of the shaft sleeve 303 without stopping rotation. Therefore, those skilled in the art can select whether to additionally add a secondary one-way transmission device according to the movement mode of the shaft sleeve 303 and the specific structure of the rotary transmission part, but the two relevant schemes should both be within the protection scope of the present application.
[0170] As shown in Figures 15-22 , in the present embodiment, the telescopic transmission part has a telescopic drive wheel 9500, and the inside of the telescopic drive wheel 9500 has a protruding portion 9510. In addition, the outside of the shaft sleeve 303 has a guide sleeve 9600, and the outer side surface of the guide sleeve 9600 has an inclined surface 9610. The protruding portion 9510 is always in abutment with the inclined surface 9610, and the protruding portion 9510 is fixed in a plane perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the output end.
[0171] In the present embodiment, the inclined surface 9610 is arranged on the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 303. Since the protruding portion 9510 is always in abutment with the inclined surface 9610, and the protruding portion 9510 is limited in a plane perpendicular to the telescopic direction of the shaft sleeve 303, the protruding portion 9510 does not displace in the telescopic direction when rotating, and relatively, the shaft sleeve 303 moves in the telescopic direction relative to the protruding portion 9510, so as to realize the telescopic function of the shaft sleeve 303.
[0172] In other embodiments, the outer surface of the shaft sleeve 303 can be provided with two parallel inclined surfaces 9610, and the protruding portion 9510 is accommodated between the two inclined surfaces 9610, so that the inclined surfaces 9610 can have a better guiding effect.
[0173] In the present embodiment, a gear set is used to compose the telescopic transmission part, but in other embodiments, the telescopic transmission part can also include a worm gear structure or a crank rocker mechanism connected with the shaft sleeve 303 to realize the telescopic transmission function. Through the above structural forms, the worm gear structure or the crank rocker mechanism in the telescopic transmission part can also be used to convert the input in the form of rotation into the output in the form of telescopic, so as to realize the same or similar effect.
[0174] As shown in Figures 15-22 , the single-motor rotary telescopic device 3001 further includes an elastic component. In the present embodiment, the elastic component is a spring 9700, which is in abutment with the shaft sleeve 303. The elastic force direction of the spring 9700 is consistent with the telescopic direction of the shaft sleeve 303. After the shaft sleeve 303 is extended or retracted, the shaft sleeve 303 returns to the initial position under the action of the elastic force provided by the spring 9700.
[0175] In the embodiment, the spring 9700 provides the elastic force to enable the shaft sleeve 303 to return to the initial position in time after extension or retraction, facilitating the extension or retraction in the next rotation transmission.
[0176] Specifically, in the embodiment, the initial position of the shaft sleeve 303 is the extended state, and the spring 9700 is in the compressed state to push the shaft sleeve 303 outward. When the motor 9100 outputs the reverse rotation, the shaft sleeve 303 is retracted under the force of the extension-retraction transmission part and further compresses the spring 9700. Further, when the motor 9100 changes from outputting the reverse rotation to outputting the forward rotation, the shaft sleeve 303 is no longer subjected to the retraction force provided by the extension-retraction transmission part. At this time, the shaft sleeve 303 is extended again under the elastic force of the spring 9700 in the compressed state and returns to the initial state.
[0177] It should be noted that in the initial state of the embodiment, the spring 9700 is compressed, and the shaft sleeve 303 is located at the extended position, while in other embodiments, different extension-retraction functions can be achieved by changing the stretching or compression state of the spring 9700 and the extended or retracted state of the shaft sleeve 303. For example, the shaft sleeve 303 is initially in the retracted state, is extended under the action of the extension-retraction transmission part, and then is automatically reset under the elastic force of the elastic part.
[0178] As shown in FIG. 10, the rotation transmission part further includes a rotating shaft 9800, which is connected with the shaft sleeve 303 in cooperation and is coaxially arranged with the shaft sleeve 303. Figures 15-22
[0179] Specifically, in the embodiment, the rotation transmission part is transmitted through the rotating shaft 9800 coaxial with the shaft sleeve 303, which can simplify the transmission structure as much as possible. In particular, the transmission structure in the horizontal direction is reduced, which can directly reduce the overall volume of the single-motor rotation extension-retraction device 3001.
[0180] In the embodiment, the rotation transmission part is transmitted to the shaft sleeve 303 through the rotating shaft 9800, while in other embodiments of the application, the output shaft of the motor 9100 can directly serve as the rotating shaft 9800 in the rotation transmission part.
[0181] Specifically, in other embodiments, in order to reduce the volume of the rotation transmission part, the rotation transmission part is simplified to a coaxial transmission structure, that is, the output shaft of the motor 9100 is directly connected with the shaft sleeve 303 to realize the rotation transmission. In the above embodiment, no additional secondary one-way transmission device is additionally arranged in the rotation transmission part for the consideration of the space structure, which can have fewer parts under the premise of ensuring the transmission effect and facilitate disassembly and maintenance.
[0182] As shown in FIG. 10, the rotation transmission part further includes a rotating shaft 9800, which is connected with the shaft sleeve 303 in cooperation and is coaxially arranged with the shaft sleeve 303. Figures 15-22 As shown, the telescopic transmission part and the rotary transmission part are located inside the same housing 110, and the telescopic transmission part and the rotary transmission part are arranged alternately at different heights and / or horizontal positions inside the housing 110.
[0183] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gears and / or shafts 9800 of the telescopic transmission unit are arranged to avoid interference with the gears and / or shafts 9800 of the rotary transmission unit. This is to prevent the two from interfering with each other and affecting normal operation, and also to allow the horizontally arranged gears and vertically arranged shafts 9800 to be staggered inside the housing 110 without interfering with each other, thereby making full use of the space inside the housing 110 and maximizing space utilization. Without changing other aspects, this indirectly reduces the overall volume of the single-motor rotary telescopic device 3001.

[0185] This embodiment provides an automatic cooking machine 100, which has a structure that is roughly the same as the automatic cooking machine in Embodiment 1. The difference is that the rotary drive 30 in this embodiment adopts a dual-motor rotary telescopic device 3002.
[0186] Specifically, such as Figures 23-25 As shown, the dual-motor rotary telescopic device 3002 includes two motors 9100. The output shaft of one motor 9100 is directly connected to the bushing 303 to realize rotary transmission. The other motor 9100 is connected to the bushing 303 through a telescopic transmission part, which includes a worm gear structure 9102.
[0187] In this embodiment, the dual-motor rotary telescopic device 3002 includes two states, corresponding to respectively Figure 24 and 25 When the motor 9100, connected to the telescopic transmission unit, rotates in both the forward and reverse directions, it drives the telescopic transmission unit to rotate. At this time, the telescopic transmission unit converts the rotation into the reciprocating motion of the bushing 303 in the telescopic direction through the worm gear structure 9102. The dual-motor rotary telescopic device 3002 in this embodiment has better transmission stability than the single-motor rotary telescopic device 3001.
[0188] Those skilled in the art will understand that this embodiment includes various technical solutions that achieve the telescopic function by separately setting multiple motors and using a telescopic transmission unit. In this embodiment, a worm gear structure 9102 is selected to realize the transmission between rotational motion and linear motion. In other embodiments of this embodiment, components with similar functions can be selected to realize the telescopic transmission function, such as a crank-connecting rod structure.
[0189] Example 5
[0190] The embodiment provides an automatic cooking machine 100, which is substantially the same as the automatic cooking machine 100 in the embodiment 1, and the difference is that the rotary driver 30 in the embodiment adopts a motor-magnet rotary telescopic device 3003.
[0191] Specifically, as shown in Figure 26 、 27 , the motor-magnet rotary telescopic device 3003 comprises a motor 9100 and a magnet 9101, wherein the output shaft of the motor 9100 is directly connected with the shaft sleeve 303 to realize rotary transmission. The magnetic field generated by the magnet 9101 is arranged along the telescopic direction of the shaft sleeve 303. The magnet in the embodiment is a group of coils, and the axial direction of the magnet 9101 is the same as the telescopic direction of the shaft sleeve 303.
[0192] In the embodiment, the motor-magnet rotary telescopic device 3003 comprises two states, which correspond to Figure 26 and 27 respectively. When the magnet 9101 is powered, the shaft sleeve 303 is attracted and compressed downward to the spring 9700, and at this time, the state corresponds to the retraction of the shaft sleeve 303. When the magnet 9101 is powered off, the attraction force on the shaft sleeve 303 disappears, and under the elastic force of the spring 9700, the shaft sleeve 303 returns to the initial position, and the state corresponds to the extension of the shaft sleeve 303.
[0193] Although the specific embodiments of the present application are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example, and the protection scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present application, and such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the present application.
