TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to a cooking machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Compared with a traditional frying pan, the cooking machine has the functions of automatic temperature control, automatic stir-frying and automatic dish serving. However, the cooking machine in the related art does not have a frying pan positioning function, and the frying pan cannot realize variable speed movement at a corresponding position, thereby affecting the uniformity of stir-frying. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application provides a cooking machine, so that the frying pan can realize variable speed movement at a corresponding position to improve the uniformity of stir-frying.

[0004] Specifically, a cooking machine comprises a base having a containing cavity and an opening in communication with the containing cavity; a pot body, at least a part of the pot body being capable of being placed in the containing cavity through the opening; a driving assembly arranged on the base, the driving assembly being connected with the pot body and being used for driving the pot body to rotate; and a position detection assembly electrically connected with the driving assembly, the position detection assembly being used for detecting the position of the pot body and controlling the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot body.

[0005] In some embodiments of the present application, the position detection assembly comprises a controller electrically connected with the driving assembly; and a detection assembly electrically connected with the controller, the detection assembly being used for detecting the position of the pot body and sending a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body, and the controller determining the position of the pot body according to the position signal and controlling the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot body. In the working process of the cooking machine, the detection assembly can send a corresponding position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body, and the controller can process and analyze the position signal to determine the position of the pot body, thereby realizing the detection of the position of the pot body. After determining the position of the pot body, the controller can also control the driving assembly to drive the pot body to perform a corresponding action, such as accelerating rotation, decelerating rotation or stopping rotation.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection assembly comprises a first detection member installed on the pot body; and a second detection member installed on the base, the second detection member being used for cooperating with the first detection member to detect the position of the pot body; wherein one of the first detection member and the second detection member is electrically connected with the controller and is used for sending the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body. One of the first detection member and the second detection member can induct the other, thereby detecting the position of the pot body.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the first detection member comprises a magnet, and the second detection member comprises a magnetic sensor, which is electrically connected to the controller. The magnetic sensor is configured to sense the position of the magnet and send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body. When the driving assembly drives the pot body to rotate, the magnet moves with the pot body, so that the distance between the magnet and the magnetic sensor changes. The magnetic sensor converts the electromagnetic signal into the position signal and transmits it to the controller. This non-contact detection assembly has high sensitivity, so that the controller can control the driving assembly more sensitively and accurately.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present application, the first detection member comprises a heat insulation member, and the second detection member comprises a temperature sensor, which is electrically connected to the controller. The temperature sensor is configured to sense the position of the heat insulation member and send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body. When the driving assembly drives the pot body to rotate, the heat insulation member moves with the pot body, so that the distance between the heat insulation member and the temperature sensor changes. The temperature sensor converts the temperature signal into the position signal and transmits it to the controller, so as to realize the position detection of the pot body.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving assembly comprises a first driving member arranged on the base, the first driving member being connected to the pot body and configured to drive the pot body to rotate around a first preset direction; and a second driving member arranged on the base, the second driving member being connected to the pot body and configured to drive the pot body to rotate around a second preset direction, the second preset direction being perpendicular to the first preset direction. The position detection assembly is electrically connected to the first driving member and the second driving member, and controls the first driving member or / and the second driving member according to the current position of the pot body. When the cooking machine is used to cook, the controller can control the first driving member to drive the pot body to rotate around the first preset direction to rotate the cooking, and when the cooking is finished, the controller can control the second driving member to drive the pot body to rotate around the second preset direction to pour out the food materials in the pot body.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, the pot body comprises a main body and a pot lug arranged on the main body. After the cooking is finished, when the pot body rotates around the first preset direction to a first preset position, the position detection assembly controls the first driving member to stop working, so that the pot lug is in the anti-interference area. The position detection assembly can detect the position of the pot body, so that the cooking machine only discharges the food after the cooking is finished and the pot lug is in the anti-interference area, thereby preventing the pot lug from affecting the normal discharging of the cooking machine.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving assembly further comprises a rotating shaft installed on the base, the rotating shaft being parallel to the second preset direction in the axial direction; the second driving member is connected with the pot body through the rotating shaft, and the second driving member drives the rotating shaft to rotate so as to drive the pot body to rotate around the second preset direction; when the pot body rotates around the first preset direction to the first preset position, the pot lug corresponds to the rotating shaft. After the cooking is completed, the pot body rotates around the first preset direction to the first preset position, and the cooking machine performs dish serving; at this time, the position detection assembly can control the second driving member to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the pot body to rotate around the rotating shaft to perform dish serving; at this time, the pot lug corresponds to the rotating shaft, and the pot lug is completely outside the path of the food movement, so that the pot lug can greatly avoid affecting the normal dish serving of the cooking machine.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the position detection assembly comprises a controller electrically connected with the first driving member and the second driving member; a detection assembly electrically connected with the controller, the detection assembly being configured to send a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body, the controller being configured to determine the position of the pot body according to the position signal and control the first driving member or / and the second driving member according to the current position of the pot body; the detection assembly comprises a first detection member installed on the pot body and a second detection member installed on the base, the second detection member being configured to cooperate with the first detection member to detect the position of the pot body; one of the first detection member and the second detection member is electrically connected with the controller and configured to send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body; the pot lug is a heat insulation pot lug, and the first detection member is installed on the pot lug. The heat insulation pot lug can slow down the heat conduction between the pot body and the pot lug, and the temperature of the pot lug is much lower than that of the pot body during the cooking process; the first detection member is installed on the pot lug, so that the high-temperature pot body 20 can be prevented from damaging the first detection member.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the first detection member is located on the side of the pot lug facing the base. The first detection member is protected by the pot lug, so as to prevent the first detection member from being damaged due to collision and other factors, and the pot lug can also avoid affecting the induction between the first detection member and the second detection member, so as to further improve the detection accuracy of the detection assembly.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, when the pot body rotates to a first preset position around the first preset direction, the second detection member corresponds to the first detection member. When the second detection member corresponds to the first detection member, the distance between the second detection member and the first detection member is the shortest, and the induction intensity of the second detection member is the strongest, so that the first preset position can be positioned more accurately, and the pot body can be accurately stopped at the first preset position, thereby greatly avoiding the influence of the pot lug on the normal dish output of the cooking machine.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection assembly further comprises: a third detection member mounted on the base, the third detection member being used to cooperate with the first detection member to detect the position of the pot body; and a fourth detection member mounted on the base, the fourth detection member being used to cooperate with the first detection member to detect the position of the pot body; wherein the third detection member and the fourth detection member are oppositely arranged, and the third detection member and the fourth detection member are both electrically connected to the controller, the third detection member and the fourth detection member being used to send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body, and the controller controls the second driving member to drive the pot body to rotate around the second preset direction according to the current position of the pot body, so that the pot lug reciprocates between the second preset position and the third preset position; when the pot lug swings to the second preset position, the third detection member corresponds to the first detection member; and when the pot lug swings to the third preset position, the fourth detection member corresponds to the first detection member. The second driving member can be used to drive the pot body to reciprocate, so that the pot lug reciprocates between the second preset position and the third preset position, thereby the inertia of the food material in the pot body can be used to pour out the food material adhered to the pot body when the pot body swings, and a better dish output effect can be achieved.

[0016] The driving assembly can drive the pot body to rotate, so as to stir-fry the food material in the pot body or pour out the food material in the pot body. Taking the example of stirring the food material in the pot body, the position detection assembly electrically connected to the driving assembly can detect the position of the pot body, and can control the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot body, so that the driving assembly can drive the pot body to realize variable-speed motion at the corresponding position to improve the uniformity of the stir-frying. Taking the example of pouring out the food material in the pot body, the position detection assembly can detect the position of the pot body, and can control the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot body, so that the driving assembly drives the pot body to pour out the food material in the pot body at a specific position, so that the food tray or other container can accurately receive the food material in the pot body.

[0023] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0024] Complicated kitchen operations hinder people's willingness to cook at home. Under the trend of intelligentization, the cooking machine emerges as the times require. Compared with traditional frying pots, the cooking machine has the functions of automatic temperature control, automatic stir-frying and automatic dish serving. However, the cooking machine in the related art does not have a frying pan positioning function, and the frying pan cannot realize variable speed movement at the corresponding position, thereby affecting the uniformity of stir-frying.

[0025] The present application provides a cooking machine to solve the problem that the cooking machine in the related art does not have a frying pan positioning function, resulting in that the frying pan cannot realize variable speed movement at the corresponding position.

[0026] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the cooking machine comprises a base 10, a pot body 20, a driving assembly (not shown in the figure) and a position detection assembly.

[0027] The base 10 has a receiving cavity 11 and an opening 12 communicating with the receiving cavity 11. It can be understood that the base 10 can provide support for the pot 20. When the cooking machine is cooking, the base 10 can be placed on a flat table, and at this time, the opening 12 of the receiving cavity 11 faces upward. The overall shape of the base 10 can be cylindrical, and of course, according to actual needs, the overall shape of the base 10 can also be other shapes, which are not limited in the present application.

[0028] At least part of the pot 20 can be placed in the receiving cavity 11 through the opening 12. The pot 20 is used to hold food materials, and the food materials can be cooked in the pot 20. The pot 20 can be an aluminum pot, a stainless steel pot, an iron enamel pot, an iron pot, and a non-stick pot, etc. The type and size of the pot 20 are not limited in the present application.

[0029] The driving assembly is arranged on the base 10, and the driving assembly is connected with the pot 20. The driving assembly is used to drive the pot 20 to rotate.

[0030] The position detection assembly is electrically connected with the driving assembly. The position detection assembly is used to detect the position of the pot 20 and control the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot 20.

[0031] It can be understood that the driving assembly can drive the pot 20 to rotate to stir-fry the food materials in the pot 20 or pour out the food materials in the pot 20. Taking the example of stir-frying the food materials in the pot 20, for some food materials, the pot 20 needs to realize variable speed motion at a corresponding position to improve the uniformity of stir-frying. In the present application, by arranging the position detection assembly electrically connected with the driving assembly, the position detection assembly can detect the position of the pot 20 and control the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot 20, so that the driving assembly can drive the pot 20 to realize variable speed motion at the corresponding position to improve the uniformity of stir-frying. Taking the example of pouring out the food materials in the pot 20, the position detection assembly can detect the position of the pot 20 and control the driving assembly according to the current position of the pot 20, so that the driving assembly drives the pot 20 to pour out the food materials in the pot 20 at a specific position, so that the food tray or other container can accurately receive the food materials in the pot 20.

[0032] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present application, the position detection assembly includes a controller (not shown in the figure) and a detection assembly 30.

[0033] The controller is electrically connected with the driving assembly. The controller can control the driving assembly. The controller can be a single-chip microcomputer or other devices with data processing and control functions.

[0034] The detection component 30 is electrically connected to the controller. The detection component 30 is used to detect the position of the pot body 20 and send a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20. The controller determines the position of the pot body 20 according to the position signal and controls the drive component according to the current position of the pot body 20.

[0035] Understandably, during the operation of the cooking machine, the detection component 30 can send a corresponding position signal to the controller based on the position of the pot body 20. The controller can process and analyze the position signal to determine the position of the pot body 20, thereby realizing the detection of the position of the pot body 20. After determining the position of the pot body 20, the controller can also control the drive component to drive the pot body 20 to perform corresponding actions based on the current position of the pot body 20, such as accelerating rotation, decelerating rotation, or stopping rotation.

[0036] It should also be noted that, depending on actual needs, the controller can also be integrated into the detection component 30, so that the detection component 30 can simultaneously perform detection, data processing and control functions.

[0037] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the detection component 30 may include a first detection element 31 and a second detection element 32.

[0038] The first detection element 31 can be installed on the pot body 20; the second detection element 32 can be installed on the base 10, and the second detection element 32 is used to cooperate with the first detection element 31 to detect the position of the pot body 20; one of the first detection element 31 and the second detection element 32 is electrically connected to the controller and is used to send a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20.

[0039] It is understandable that one of the first detection element 31 and the second detection element 32 can sense the other, thereby detecting the position of the pot body 20. Taking the second detection element 32 sensing the first detection element 31 as an example, when the drive assembly drives the pot body 20 to rotate, the first detection element 31 moves with the pot body 20, causing the distance between the first detection element 31 and the second detection element 32 to change. This causes the second detection element 32 to generate a corresponding position signal. After receiving the position signal sent by the second detection element 32, the controller can determine the position of the pot body 20.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the first detection member 31 can comprise a magnet, and the second detection member 32 can comprise a magnetic sensor electrically connected to the controller, the magnetic sensor being configured to sense the position of the magnet and send a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20.

[0041] It should be noted that the magnet can be a permanent magnet or a non-permanent magnet; the magnetic sensor can be a Hall sensor or a giant magnetoresistance sensor, or any other device capable of sensing a magnetic field; when the driving assembly drives the pot body 20 to rotate, the magnet moves with the pot body 20, so that the distance between the magnet and the magnetic sensor changes; the magnetic sensor converts the electromagnetic signal into a position signal (an electric signal) and transmits it to the controller; this non-contact detection assembly 30 has high sensitivity, so that the controller can control the driving assembly more sensitively and accurately. The specific working principle of magnetic induction detection has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be described herein.

[0042] It should also be noted that the temperature of the pot body 20 is high during cooking, and the magnet is arranged on the pot body 20, while the magnetic sensor is arranged on the base 10, so that the sensitive device such as the magnetic sensor can be prevented from being damaged by the high-temperature pot body 20; and if the magnetic sensor is connected to the controller through a conductive connection line, the conductive connection line does not need to rotate with the pot body 20, and can also prevent the conductive connection line from being in contact with the high-temperature pot body 20.

[0043] In another embodiment of the present application, the first detection member 31 comprises a heat insulation member, and the second detection member 32 comprises a temperature sensor electrically connected to the controller, the temperature sensor being configured to sense the position of the heat insulation member and send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20.

[0044] It should be noted that the heat insulation member can slow down the heat conduction between the pot body 20 and the heat insulation member; during cooking, the temperature of the heat insulation member is much lower than that of the pot body 20; the heat insulation member can be made of heat insulation plastic, aerogel felt, heat insulation resin, or any other material having good heat insulation performance; the temperature sensor can be an infrared sensor, a digital temperature sensor, an analog temperature sensor, or any other device capable of sensing the temperature of the heat insulation member; when the driving assembly drives the pot body 20 to rotate, the heat insulation member moves with the pot body 20, so that the distance between the heat insulation member and the temperature sensor changes; the temperature sensor converts the temperature signal into a position signal (an electric signal) and transmits it to the controller; the specific working principle of temperature detection has been disclosed in the related art, and will not be described herein.

[0045] It also needs to be explained that according to actual needs, the first detection piece 31 and the second detection piece 32 can also be other devices with position detection function, for example, the first detection piece 31 is a sound emitter, and the second detection piece 32 is a sound sensor, which detects the sound emitted by the sound sensor, and converts the sound wave signal into a position signal (an electric signal) and transmits it to the controller to realize the position detection of the pot body 20. For another example, the first detection piece 31 is a calibration object, and the second detection piece 32 is a camera, which can take a photo of the pot body 20 and transmit the photo to the controller, and the controller determines the position of the pot body 20 according to the position of the calibration object in the photo.

[0046] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly includes a first driving piece (not shown in the figure) and a second driving piece (not shown in the figure).

[0047] The first driving piece is arranged on the base 10, and the first driving piece is connected with the pot body 20, and the first driving piece is used to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around a first preset direction AA. It needs to be explained that the first driving piece can be located inside or outside the accommodating cavity 11, and the first driving piece is a device with power and capable of moving the pot body 20, such as a motor or an electric machine, and the first driving piece can be driven by electricity, an internal combustion engine, magnetic force, etc., and the common driving types in the art meet the use needs. The first driving piece and the pot body 20 can be connected by common direct connection modes such as bonding, abutting, screwing, etc., or there can be no direct connection, but force transmission through magnetic field, electric field, etc., of course, the first driving piece and the pot body 20 can also be connected through gears, connecting rods, etc.

[0048] The second driving piece is arranged on the base 10, and the second driving piece is connected with the pot body 20, and the second driving piece is used to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around a second preset direction BB, and the second preset direction BB is perpendicular to the first preset direction AA. It needs to be explained that the second driving piece can be located inside or outside the accommodating cavity 11, and the second driving piece is a device with power and capable of moving the pot body 20, such as a motor or an electric machine, and the second driving piece can be driven by electricity, an internal combustion engine, magnetic force, etc., and the common driving types in the art meet the use needs. The second driving piece and the pot body 20 can be connected by common direct connection modes such as bonding, abutting, screwing, etc., or there can be no direct connection, but force transmission through magnetic field, electric field, etc., of course, the second driving piece and the pot body 20 can also be connected through gears, connecting rods, etc. The type of the second driving piece can be the same as or different from the type of the first driving piece, and can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in the present application.

[0049] The controller is electrically connected with the first driving member and the second driving member, the position detection assembly controls the first driving member or / and the second driving member according to the current position of the pot body 20.

[0050] It should be noted that when the cooking machine is used to stir-fry, the controller can control the first driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the first preset direction AA to rotate the stir-frying, and after the cooking is finished, the controller can control the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the second preset direction BB to pour out the food materials in the pot body 20; when the cooking machine is used to stir-fry, the first preset direction AA is vertical, and the second preset direction BB is horizontal which is perpendicular to the first preset direction AA; taking the overall shape of the base 10 as a cylindrical shape, the first preset direction AA is parallel to the axial direction of the base 10.

[0051] It should be further noted that the controller can also control the first driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the first preset direction AA at a variable speed and a rotation direction according to the current position of the pot body 20, so as to realize the variable speed motion and other functions; the controller can also control the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the second preset direction BB at a variable speed and a rotation direction according to the current position of the pot body 20, so as to make the pot body 20 swing back and forth to achieve the function of assisting in taking out the food.

[0052] It can also be understood that when the driving assembly includes the first driving member and the second driving member, the controller can be electrically connected with the first driving member and the second driving member; the detection assembly 30 is electrically connected with the controller, the detection assembly 30 is used to send a position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20, the controller can determine the position of the pot body 20 according to the position signal, and control the first driving member or / and the second driving member according to the current position of the pot body 20.

[0053] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It should be noted that in some embodiments of the present application, the pot body 20 includes a main body 21 and a pot lug 22 arranged on the main body 21, the pot lug 22 can facilitate the user to hold the pot body 20, the pot lug 22 can be arranged at the edge position of the main body 21, of course, according to actual needs, the pot lug 22 can also be arranged at other positions of the main body 21.

[0054] After the cooking is finished, when the pot body 20 rotates around the first preset direction AA to the first preset position, the position detection assembly controls the first driving member to stop working, so that the pot lug 22 is in the anti-interference area.

[0055] It should be noted that after the cooking is completed, the controller needs to control the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the second preset direction BB to take out the dishes. If the pot lug 22 is in the path of the food material movement at this time, the pot lug 22 will affect the normal dish taking out of the cooking machine.

[0056] It should be further noted that in the present application, the position of the pot body 20 can be detected by the position detection assembly, so that the cooking machine only takes out the dishes after the cooking is completed and the pot lug 22 is in the anti-interference area, thereby preventing the pot lug 22 from affecting the normal dish taking out of the cooking machine. The anti-interference area can be understood as an area in which the pot lug 22 does not affect the normal dish taking out of the cooking machine. The specific size of the anti-interference area is related to factors such as the size of the pot body 20 and the size of the pot lug 22, and the specific size of the anti-interference area can be selected according to actual needs. The specific position of the first preset position can be selected according to actual needs, which is not limited in the present application.

[0057] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is shown that in an embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly further comprises a rotating shaft 40, which is installed on the base 10, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40 is parallel to the second preset direction BB.

[0058] The second driving member is connected with the pot body 20 through the rotating shaft 40, and the second driving member drives the rotating shaft 40 to rotate to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the second preset direction BB. When the pot body 20 rotates around the first preset direction AA to the first preset position, the pot lug 22 corresponds to the rotating shaft 40.

[0059] It can be understood that after the cooking is completed, the pot body 20 rotates around the first preset direction AA to the first preset position, and then the cooking machine takes out the dishes. At this time, the position detection assembly can control the second driving member to drive the rotating shaft 40 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 40 drives the pot body 20 to rotate around the rotating shaft 40 to take out the dishes. At this time, the pot lug 22 corresponds to the rotating shaft 40, and the pot lug 22 is completely outside the path of the food material movement when the dishes are taken out, which can greatly avoid the pot lug 22 from affecting the normal dish taking out of the cooking machine.

[0060] It should be noted that the rotating shaft 40 can be installed on the base 10, and the rotating shaft 40 is rotationally connected with the base 10 around the axial direction of the rotating shaft 40. After the pot body 20 is placed on the base 10, the outer side wall of the pot body 20 is in contact with the rotating shaft 40, and the pot body 20 can be driven to rotate around the second preset direction BB by rotating the rotating shaft 40. Of course, the rotating shaft 40 can also be installed on the pot body 20, and the installation position of the rotating shaft 40 can be selected according to actual needs.

[0061] It should be noted that the driving assembly can further include a support shaft 50 (as shown in Figure 1 ), the central axis of the support shaft 50 coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft 40, and the support shaft 50 and the rotating shaft 40 are respectively located on two sides of the pot body 20. The support shaft 50 is rotationally connected to the base 10 around the axial direction of the support shaft 50. When the pot body 20 rotates around the second preset direction BB, one side of the pot body 20 is supported by the rotating shaft 40, and the other side of the pot body 20 is supported by the support shaft 50.

[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in an embodiment of the present application, the pot lug 22 can be a heat-insulating pot lug 22, and the first detection member 31 is installed on the pot lug 22.

[0063] It should be noted that the heat-insulating pot lug 22 can slow down the heat conduction between the pot body 20. During the cooking process, the temperature of the pot lug 22 is much lower than that of the pot body 20. By installing the first detection member 31 on the pot lug 22, damage to the first detection member 31 caused by the high-temperature pot body 20 can be avoided. The pot lug 22 can be made of heat-insulating plastic, aerogel felt, or heat-insulating resin, etc. materials with good heat-insulating performance.

[0064] It should be noted that the first detection member 31 and the pot lug 22 can be two completely different devices, and the first detection member 31 can also be integrally formed with the pot lug 22. Taking the first detection member 31 including a magnet as an example, at this time, the pot lug 22 can be made of a non-magnetic heat-insulating material, and the magnet is installed on the pot lug 22 by means of adhesion, welding, threaded connection or riveting, etc. Of course, at this time, the pot lug 22 can also be made of a magnetic heat-insulating material, and the magnet and the pot lug 22 can be integrally formed. Detecting the position of the magnet is equivalent to detecting the position of the pot lug 22. Taking the first detection member 31 including a heat-insulating member as an example, at this time, the heat-insulating member can be installed on the pot lug 22 by means of adhesion, welding, threaded connection or riveting, etc. Of course, at this time, the heat-insulating member and the pot lug 22 can also be integrally formed. Detecting the position of the magnet is equivalent to detecting the position of the pot lug 22.

[0065] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , wherein the first detection member 31 can be located on the side of the pot lug 22 facing the base 10, so as to protect the first detection member 31 by the pot lug 22, prevent the first detection member 31 from being damaged due to collision and other factors, and avoid the influence of the pot lug 22 on the induction between the first detection member 31 and the second detection member 32, and further improve the detection accuracy of the detection assembly 30.

[0066] In an embodiment of the present application, the second detection member 32 corresponds to the first detection member 31 when the pot body 20 rotates to the first preset position around the first preset direction AA.

[0067] It should be noted that when the second detection member 32 corresponds to the first detection member 31, the distance between the second detection member 32 and the first detection member 31 is the shortest, and the induction intensity of the second detection member 32 is the strongest, so that the first preset position can be positioned more accurately, so that the pot body 20 can be accurately stopped at the first preset position, and the pot lug 22 can be greatly avoided to affect the normal dish output of the cooking machine.

[0068] For example, the first detection member 31 includes a magnet, and the second detection member 32 includes a magnetic inductor. When the first detection member 31 moves to correspond to the second detection member 32, the distance between the second detection member 32 and the first detection member 31 is the shortest, and the magnetic induction of the magnetic inductor is the strongest at this time. At this time, the magnetic induction intensity of the magnetic inductor is obviously different from the magnetic induction intensity of the magnet at other positions, so that the first preset position can be positioned more accurately. For example, the first detection member 31 includes a heat insulation member, and the second detection member 32 includes a temperature inductor. When the first detection member 31 moves to correspond to the second detection member 32, the distance between the second detection member 32 and the first detection member 31 is the shortest. Since the temperature of the heat insulation member is much lower than the temperature of the pot body 20, the temperature sensed by the temperature inductor at this time is obviously different from the temperature sensed by the heat insulation member at other positions, so that the pot body 20 can be accurately stopped at the first preset position.

[0069] Continuing to refer to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment of the present application, the position detection assembly further includes a third detection member 33 and a fourth detection member 34.

[0070] The third detection member 33 is installed on the base 10, and the third detection member 33 is used in cooperation with the first detection member 31 to detect the position of the pot body 20.

[0071] The fourth detection member 34 is installed on the base 10, and the fourth detection member 34 is used in cooperation with the first detection member 31 to detect the position of the pot body 20.

[0072] The third detection member 33 and the fourth detection member 34 are arranged opposite to each other, and the third detection member 33 and the fourth detection member 34 are electrically connected to the controller. The third detection member 33 and the fourth detection member 34 are used to send the position signal to the controller according to the position of the pot body 20. The controller controls the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to rotate around the second preset direction BB according to the current position of the pot body 20, so that the pot lug 22 reciprocates between the second preset position and the third preset position. When the pot lug 22 swings to the second preset position, the third detection member 33 corresponds to the first detection member 31. When the pot lug 22 swings to the third preset position, the fourth detection member 34 corresponds to the first detection member 31.

[0073] It can be understood that when the dishes are taken out, some food materials are easy to adhere to the pot body 20, resulting in poor dish taking-out effect. At this time, the second driving member can be used to drive the pot body 20 to reciprocate, so that the pot lug 22 reciprocates between the second preset position and the third preset position. The inertia of the food material when the pot body 20 swings can be used to pour out the food material adhered to the pot body 20, so that better dish taking-out effect is achieved. The cooperation of the third detection member 33 and the fourth detection member 34 with the first detection member 31 can achieve precise positioning of the position of the pot body 20. For example, when the pot body 20 rotates to the position where the third detection member 33 corresponds to the first detection member 31, the controller controls the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to change the direction of rotation. Similarly, when the pot body 20 rotates to the position where the fourth detection member 34 corresponds to the first detection member 31, the controller controls the second driving member to drive the pot body 20 to change the direction of rotation.

[0074] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
