[0034] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown in this embodiment, an intelligent cooking machine includes several vertical cabinets 3 and a main control cabinet 4. The several vertical cabinets 3 are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction. The main control cabinet 4 is connected to one side of the vertical cabinets 3. Several inner frame shells 5 are arranged in a vertical direction in the vertical cabinets 3. An embedded square electric stove 1 is installed in the inner frame shell 5. The embedded square electric stove 1 is inclined. Tableware is placed on the embedded square electric stove 1. The tableware rotates on the embedded square electric stove 1. A drive device for picking up and placing square lunch boxes is provided at the opening of the inner frame shell 5. The drive device for picking up and placing square lunch boxes clamps the tableware in and out of the inner frame shell 5.

[0036] Depending on the specific area and business requirements, different numbers of vertical cabinets 3 are arranged. In this embodiment, two sets of vertical cabinets 3 are assembled with a set of main control cabinets 4. After the door 221 hinged in front of the inner frame shell 5 is opened, the tableware in the embedded square electric stove 1 is moved out to facilitate people to take the food. Alternatively, the tableware with packaged materials can be placed on the drive device for picking up and placing square lunch boxes. The drive device for picking up and placing square lunch boxes will bring the tableware into the inner frame shell 5 for simulated cooking.

[0037] Specifically, the embedded square electric furnace 1 includes a heating pot mold 101, a conductive slip ring 102, a turntable hollow shaft 103, a mounting base 104, and a heating plate 105. The turntable hollow shaft 103 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 104, and the heating plate 105 is located above the turntable hollow shaft 103. The heating pot mold 101 is square, and the bottom of the heating pot mold 101 passes through the heating plate 105 and is fixed to the turntable hollow shaft 103. The heating pot mold 101 is inclined, and a first heating tube 106 is arranged around the inside of the heating pot mold 101. A second heating tube 107 is arranged inside the heating plate 105.

[0038] The specific tilt angle of the heating pot mold 101 is 60°. The hollow shaft 103 of the turntable is controlled by the conductive slip ring 102 to rotate continuously in one direction, forcing the heating pot mold 101 on the hollow shaft 103 to rotate onto the mounting base 104, which saves space. When the first heating tube 106 heats up, the four sides of the heating pot mold 101 are heated. When the second heating tube 107 heats up, the heating plate 105 heats the bottom of the heating pot mold 101. This allows all five sides of the heating pot mold 101 to heat up simultaneously during the cooking process, simulating the effect of real cooking. Moreover, by separating the first heating tube 106 and the second heating tube 107, the temperature can be controlled separately, making the cooked food more fragrant.

[0039] An electric furnace motor 108 is provided on one side of the mounting base 104. An active synchronous pulley 109 is connected to the drive end of the electric furnace motor 108. A driven synchronous pulley 110 is sleeved on the hollow shaft 103 of the turntable. The active synchronous pulley 109 and the driven synchronous pulley 110 are connected by a synchronous belt 111.

[0040] Furthermore, a point sensing plate 112 is fixed on the driven synchronous pulley 110, and a point sensing sensor 113 is fixed on the mounting base 104. The point sensing plate 112 and the point sensing sensor 113 are connected by signal.

[0041] Powered by the electric furnace motor 108, the turntable hollow shaft 103 rotates on the mounting base 104 through the power transmission between the active synchronous pulley 109, the driven synchronous pulley 110 and the synchronous belt 111. During the rotation, the rotation position is controlled by the signal transmission between the origin sensing plate 112 and the origin sensing sensor 113.

[0042] A heat insulation pad 114 is also fixed on the hollow shaft 103 of the turntable. The bottom of the heating pot mold 101 passes through the heat insulation pad 114. The heat insulation pad 114 is designed to effectively block heat from being conducted to the hollow shaft 103 of the turntable, thus affecting the service life of the hollow shaft 103 of the turntable.

[0043] A heating element protective cover 115 is provided on the side of the heating pot mold 101. The upper end of the heating element protective cover 115 is attached to the upper edge of the heating pot mold 101, and the lower end of the heating element protective cover 115 is attached to the upper edge of the turntable hollow shaft 103. Under the action of the heating element protective cover 115, the heat emitted by the heating tube is retained, heat dissipation is reduced, and the heating pot mold 101 is protected.

[0044] The upper outer edge of the heating element protective cover 115 is fitted with a heating element sealing ring 116. The heating element sealing ring 116 is made of silicone, which has good sealing performance and is harmless to the human body.

[0045] High-temperature resistant guide wheels 117 are provided on both sides of the heating element protective cover 115. The high-temperature resistant guide wheels 117 are rolledly connected to the outer side of the heating element protective cover 115. When the entire embedded square electric furnace is placed inside the cooking machine, the constantly rotating heating pot mold 101 reduces friction with the external unit under the action of the high-temperature resistant guide wheels 117, resulting in a long service life.

[0046] Specifically, the driving device for taking and placing square lunch boxes includes a rotating pot support plate 201, a steel wire rope 202, a food box rack 203, a main connecting rod 204, a secondary connecting rod 205, and a square steel rotating shaft 206. A wok placement position 207 is provided in the middle of the rotating pot support plate 201. There are two food box racks 203, located on either side of the wok placement position 207. One end of the secondary connecting rod 205 is hinged to the rotating pot support plate 201, and the other end is hinged to the upper end of the food box rack 203. Shaft 206 is located in front of the turntable opening support plate 201. One end of the main connecting rod 204 is fixed on the square steel rotating shaft 206, and the other end of the main connecting rod 204 is hinged to the middle of the vegetable box frame 203. Opening and closing pull-out plates 208 are hinged on both sides of the upper end of the turntable opening support plate 201. The outer side of the opening and closing pull-out plates 208 is connected to the steel wire pull rope 202. An opening and closing bearing 209 is installed on the inner side of the opening and closing pull-out plates 208. An opening and closing hole 210 is provided on the vegetable box frame 203, and the opening and closing bearing 209 is located in the opening and closing hole 210.

[0047] During the cooking process, the steel wire rope 202 pulls the opening and closing rotating plate 208 to rotate outward at a certain angle. The opening and closing bearing 209 on the inner side of the opening and closing rotating plate 208 pulls the two food container racks 203 outward within the opening and closing hole 210 on the food container rack 203. The tableware originally held by the two food container racks 203 will fall into the rotating pot opening rack 201 to wait for heating and cooking.

[0048] When the cooking is finished and the tableware needs to be removed, the steel wire rope 202 pushes the opening and closing rotating plate 208 back to the middle of the rotating pot support plate 201. The opening and closing bearing 209 no longer clamps the outside of the opening and closing hole 210, allowing the food container racks 203 on both sides of the tableware to move closer to the middle and hold the tableware. Then the square steel rotating shaft 206 rotates, and the main connecting rod 204 pulls the food container rack 203 off the rotating pot support plate 201. Due to the restriction of the secondary connecting rod 205, the food container rack 203 will change from an inclined state to a horizontal state, straightening and removing the inclined tableware.

[0049] An opening and closing guide rivet 211 is fixed at the upper end of the rotary pot support plate 201. An opening and closing arc-shaped guide groove 212 is provided on the opening and closing pull-rotating plate 208. The opening and closing guide rivet 211 moves within the opening and closing arc-shaped guide groove 212. The opening and closing guide rivet 211 serves as a structure to guide the opening and closing pull-rotating plate 208 to rotate, ensuring the trajectory of the opening and closing pull-rotating plate 208.

[0050] A stainless steel tension spring 213 connects the two food container holders 203. Without the restriction of the opening and closing bearing 209, the stainless steel tension spring 213 will bring the two food container holders 203 together to hold the tableware.

[0051] A stainless steel rotating tube 214 is connected between the secondary connecting rods 205. A hollow guide sleeve 215 is fixed at the upper end of the food container rack 203. The hollow guide sleeve 215 is sleeved on the stainless steel rotating tube 214. The hollow guide sleeve 215 can slide on both ends of the stainless steel rotating tube 214 to guide the food container rack 203 to be stably clamped on both sides of the tableware.

[0052] An electric push rod 216 is installed below the rotating pot rim plate 201. A rotating push-pull component 217 is hinged to the drive end of the electric push rod 216. A push-pull main drive connecting rod 218 is hinged between the front end of the rotating push-pull component 217 and the square steel rotating shaft 206. The electric push rod 216 provides the power to pick up and put down tableware. When the rotating push-pull component 217 is driven to move forward, the square steel rotating shaft 206 is rotated through the hinge of the push-pull main drive connecting rod 218, thereby driving the main connecting rod 204 to pull the food box rack 203 back onto the rotating pot rim plate 201 and place the tableware. When the rotating push-pull component 217 is driven to move backward, the tableware is picked up and removed.

[0053] The detachment push-pull component 217 is equipped with a deep groove ball bearing 219. The electric push rod 216 has a pull wire hanger 220 that swings forward. The deep groove ball bearing 219 is inserted into the pull wire hanger 220. The end of the steel wire rope 202 that is far from the opening and closing pull plate 208 is fixedly connected to the pull wire hanger 220. When the detachment push-pull component 217 is pushed forward, the deep groove ball bearing 219 is inserted into the pull wire hanger 220. While rolling and contacting, it pushes the pull wire hanger 220 to swing forward, thereby pulling down the steel wire rope 202, which in turn causes the opening and closing pull plate 208 to swing outward.

[0054] A hatch 221 is provided in front of the rotating pot support plate 201. The lower end of the hatch 221 is hinged to the outer equipment. A hatch connecting rod 222 is hinged between the middle of the hatch 221 and the main connecting rod 204. When the main connecting rod 204 drives the food container rack 203 to move out, the hatch 221 is controlled to flip down around the outer equipment through the hatch connecting rod 222, and the food container rack 203 moves the tableware out. When the main connecting rod 204 drives the food container rack 203 to retract, the hatch 221 is also controlled to flip up around the outer equipment through the hatch connecting rod 222, so as to close the door and cook the food.

[0055] A diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 223 is installed between the hatch 221 and the square steel shaft 206. The diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor 223 is used to sense whether there are tableware on the food box rack 203.

[0056] The upper inner side and the lower inner side of the food container rack 203 are integrally formed with food container rack hooks 224. The food containers are hooked with the food container rack hooks 224 at the four corners to make it easy to take out and put in the tableware.

[0057] The tableware is either a square non-stick wok (6) or a square aluminum foil wok container (7).

[0058] It should be stated that the above specific embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles applied thereto. Within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, any variations or substitutions that are easily conceived by those skilled in the art should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
