Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent cooking device for processing cat food. Background Technology

[0002] Cat food, also known as cat food, is a general term for the food that pet cats eat. Cat food can exercise and clean a cat's teeth, and to some extent, it has oral health benefits. High-quality cat food generally pays attention to nutritional balance, which can ensure that cats' daily needs for high-quality protein and trace elements are met. Cat food is generally easy to store and use, which greatly saves feeding time and caters to a fast-paced lifestyle.

[0003] Cat food production requires mixing and steaming. To ensure even heating of the ingredients, stirring is usually necessary during steaming. Currently, some methods involve manual stirring, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Other methods use rotary stirring, but this is affected by centrifugal force, causing heavier ingredients to tend to distribute on the drum wall, resulting in uneven mixing. Summary of the Invention

[0020] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1as well as Figure 6 A smart cooking device for processing cat food, comprising a heating chamber and a stirring device;

[0022] The mixing device includes a drive unit and a main shovel;

[0023] One end of the main shovel is connected to the drive device;

[0024] The main shovel reciprocates within the heating chamber under the drive of the drive device.

[0025] The virtual plane containing the working surface of the main shovel is set at an acute angle to the water surface.

[0026] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention provides an intelligent steaming and cooking device for cat food processing, comprising a heating chamber and a stirring device; wherein, the stirring device includes a driving device and a main shovel; the main shovel reciprocates within the heating chamber under the drive of the driving device; by stirring the cat food to be steamed within the heating chamber through the main shovel, since the stirring form of the main shovel is a reciprocating motion, there is no centrifugal force, making the cat food more thoroughly mixed. Furthermore, the virtual plane where the working surface of the main shovel is located is set at an acute angle to the water surface; when the main shovel is making reciprocating motion, the inclined main shovel can scoop up the cat food at the bottom of the heating chamber, making the cat food heated more evenly.

[0027] Furthermore, the main shovel is provided with multiple turbulence holes.

[0028] As can be seen from the above description, during the reciprocating motion of the main shovel, the turbulence holes on the main shovel allow some cat food to pass through the turbulence holes while preventing some cat food from passing through, thus achieving a more uniform mixing effect.

[0029] Furthermore, the driving device includes a drive motor, a wheel, and a connecting rod;

[0030] The output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the wheel;

[0031] One end of the connecting rod is hinged to the end face of the wheel;

[0032] The other end of the connecting rod is hinged to the tail of the main shovel.

[0033] As described above, the drive unit adopts a crank-slider mechanism, which features a surface contact lower pair, low pressure, easy lubrication, minimal wear, long service life, and high power transmission. Furthermore, the lower pair is easy to machine, achieving high precision at a low cost.

[0034] Furthermore, the stirring device also includes a secondary shovel, a return spring, and a drive linkage;

[0035] The heating chamber has mounting holes on its shell that are adapted to the body of the auxiliary shovel;

[0036] The auxiliary shovel can be slidably disposed within the mounting hole;

[0037] One end of the return spring is connected to the end of the auxiliary shovel that is away from the heating chamber;

[0038] The other end of the return spring is connected to the outer wall of the heating chamber shell;

[0039] One end of the drive linkage is fixedly connected to the tail of the main shovel;

[0040] The other end of the drive linkage is located near the auxiliary shovel and away from the heating chamber;

[0041] The auxiliary shovel reciprocates within the heating chamber under the drive of the drive linkage.

[0042] Working principle: Since one end of the drive linkage is fixedly connected to the tail of the main shovel, the drive linkage moves in the same direction as the main shovel. When the main shovel moves outward from the heating chamber, the other end of the drive linkage drives the auxiliary shovel to move in the same direction as the main shovel, and the return spring is compressed. At this time, the auxiliary shovel pushes and stirs the cat food in the heating chamber during its movement. When the main shovel moves inward from the heating chamber, the other end of the drive linkage moves away from the heating chamber, and the auxiliary shovel returns to its original position under the drive of the return spring. The auxiliary shovel moves backward, and the main shovel moves back into the heating chamber to stir the cat food in the heating chamber.

[0043] As described above, the main scoop and the auxiliary scoop simultaneously stir the cat food in the heating chamber, ensuring that the cat food is heated more evenly during the steaming process.

[0044] Furthermore, the secondary shovel has a spoke-type structure.

[0045] As described above, the spoke-shaped auxiliary shovel has hollowed-out holes on its working end face, which can generate vortexes during reciprocating motion, thus tumbling the cat food during the steaming process.

[0046] Furthermore, it also includes heating components;

[0047] The heating assembly includes a heat transfer pipe, a steam inlet connector, and a steam outlet connector;

[0048] The two ends of the heat transfer pipe are respectively connected to the steam inlet joint and the steam outlet joint;

[0049] The heat transfer pipes are coiled around the inner wall of the heating chamber.

[0050] As described above, steam is used for heat transfer, resulting in high temperatures and a short heating time. The heat transfer tubes are coiled around the inner wall of the heating chamber, which makes the cat food heated more evenly.

[0051] Furthermore, it also includes chutes;

[0052] The chute is provided on the side wall of the heating chamber shell;

[0053] The drive linkage is slidably mounted within the groove.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, the design of the slide groove enables the drive linkage to move more smoothly.

[0055] Furthermore, it also includes extended slides;

[0056] The extension slide is fixedly connected to the shell of the heating chamber;

[0057] The virtual axis of the extended slide coincides with the virtual motion axis of the main shovel;

[0058] The sidewall of the extended slide is provided with a clearance groove for the movement of the drive linkage.

[0059] As can be seen from the above description, the extended slide allows the main shovel to have sufficient retraction stroke.

[0060] Furthermore, it also includes the discharge port;

[0061] The discharge port is located at the bottom of the heating chamber;

[0062] The discharge port is equipped with a hatch.

[0063] As described above, once the cat food is cooked, the hatch is opened, and the cooked cat food is discharged from the outlet of the heating chamber.

[0064] Furthermore, it also includes a feed hopper;

[0065] The heating chamber is equipped with a feed inlet at the top;

[0066] The hopper is installed on the feed inlet.

[0067] As described above, the feeding hopper design makes it easier to add cat food that needs to be steamed into the heating chamber.
