Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of barbecue machines, specifically relating to a barbecue seasoning recycling device and recycling method. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, some barbecue machines are equipped with powder seasoning and liquid seasoning dispensing mechanisms to automatically add seasonings and oil. The powder dispensing mechanism adds granular or powdered seasonings such as cumin, chili powder, and salt, while the liquid seasoning dispensing mechanism sprays on cooking oil. However, the automatic dispensing and oiling process can contaminate the barbecue machine and is difficult to clean. Furthermore, compared to the traditional manual seasoning and oiling method, automatic dispensing and oiling results in increased seasoning and oil wastage to ensure sufficient amounts of seasoning and oil, thus raising operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the aforementioned technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a barbecue seasoning recycling device capable of independently collecting seasonings and cooking oil for recycling and reducing waste.

[0004] The present invention also provides a method for recycling barbecue seasonings applied to the above-mentioned barbecue seasoning recycling device.

[0005] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a barbecue seasoning recycling device includes an upper component and a lower component, wherein:

[0006] The upper component is provided with a first seasoning adding mechanism and a second seasoning adding mechanism. The first seasoning adding mechanism is used to add granular or powdered seasonings, and the second seasoning adding mechanism is used to add liquid seasonings.

[0007] The lower component, located below the upper component, includes a base, a switching section, a first recycling section, and a second recycling section. The first recycling section has a supporting structure, and the second recycling section has a second cavity. The lower component adopts one of the following structures:

[0008] Structure 1: The second recycling section is disposed on the base and the opening end of the second cavity is kept facing upward; the switching section is rotatably disposed on the base or the second recycling section; the first recycling section is disposed on the switching section.

[0009] Structure 2: The first and second recycling parts are arranged side by side on the base, with the supporting structure facing upward and the opening end of the second cavity facing upward. The switching part is rotatably located between the first and second recycling parts.

[0010] The barbecue seasoning collection device according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The barbecue seasoning collection device of the present invention is provided with a first seasoning adding mechanism, a second seasoning adding mechanism, a first collection section, and a second collection section. The two collection sections can respectively collect one type of barbecue seasoning spilled from the upper component. For example, the first seasoning adding mechanism is aligned with a supporting structure to collect granular or powdered seasonings. When such seasonings are spilled from barbecued foods such as skewers, they are automatically collected through the upper opening. The second seasoning adding mechanism is aligned with a second concave cavity to collect liquid seasonings. When the second seasoning adding mechanism is operating, gravity is used to automatically collect the liquid seasonings. The additives of the first seasoning adding mechanism include, but are not limited to, salt, chili powder, and cumin. The additives of the second seasoning adding mechanism include, but are not limited to, cooking oil, chili sauce, and sesame paste. Therefore, the barbecue seasoning collection device of the present invention can independently collect seasonings and cooking oil.

[0011] Based on this, the barbecue seasoning recycling device of the present invention is rotatably equipped with a switching part, and based on the different rotational configuration of the switching part, it is divided into two structures:

[0012] When using Structure 1, the first collection unit rotates by rotating the switching unit, thereby adjusting the orientation of the supporting structure. During seasoning collection, rotating the switching unit causes the supporting structure to face upwards, achieving automatic seasoning collection. After collection is complete, rotating the switching unit again controls the supporting structure downwards, discharging the seasoning. Furthermore, when the second seasoning adding mechanism is operating, the switching unit can be controlled to rotate so that the supporting structure faces downwards, preventing splashed or falling oil from entering the supporting structure and thus avoiding contamination of the seasoning.

[0013] When using structure two, the switching part is located between the first and second recovery parts and can swing left and right, thereby selectively blocking either the supporting structure or the second cavity. When the first seasoning adding mechanism is working, the switching part can be controlled to be vertical or tilted towards the second cavity, causing the seasoning to automatically fall into the supporting structure, while the switching part forms a barrier to prevent the seasoning from falling into the second cavity. Conversely, when the second seasoning adding mechanism is working, the switching part can be controlled to be vertical or rotated towards the supporting structure, causing the oil to automatically fall into the second cavity while the switching part forms a barrier to prevent the oil from falling into the supporting structure.

[0014] Therefore, the barbecue seasoning recycling device of this invention can independently collect seasonings and cooking oil, avoid cross-contamination, facilitate recycling and reuse, and reduce losses and operating costs. At the same time, it can keep the barbecue machine clean for a long time, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning and maintenance.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the switching part is provided with a first guide plate, which is configured such that when the switching part is rotated to the downward position of the supporting structure or to the position close to the supporting structure, the end of the first guide plate extends obliquely to the opening end of the second cavity.

[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the lower component adopts a structure one, the supporting structure includes a first cavity, the switching part is provided with a swing arm, the first recovery part is provided at the end of the swing arm away from the rotation center, the first guide plate is provided at the end of the first recovery part near the rotation center of the switching part, and is connected to the edge position of the other end of the first recovery part relative to the opening end of the first cavity, when the switching part rotates to the point where the opening end of the first cavity faces downward, the opening end of the first cavity and the second cavity are misaligned in the horizontal direction.

[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first recovery unit has a second guide plate at one end of the first cavity near the first guide plate, and the second guide plate is connected to the edge of the opening end of the first cavity.

[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the rotation center of the switching part is located at the middle position in the width direction of the second cavity, and the length of the swing arm is greater than or equal to half of the width dimension of the second cavity.

[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the second recycling section is detachably connected to the base, and the switching section is rotatably disposed on the second recycling section.

[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the barbecue seasoning recycling device further includes a drive unit and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a first connector disposed at the power output end of the drive unit and a second connector disposed at the rotation center of the switching unit. The first connector and the second connector are configured to be separable and docking. The drive unit is used to drive the switching unit to rotate when the first connector and the second connector are docked.

[0021] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the second cavity is provided with a discharge port.

[0022] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the base is fixedly connected to the upper component via a linkage structure.

[0023] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for recovering barbecue seasoning, applied to the above-mentioned barbecue seasoning recovery device, includes:

[0024] Before the first seasoning adding mechanism adds seasoning, the switching part is controlled to rotate until the supporting structure is aligned with the first seasoning adding mechanism, or rotated to exit the space above the supporting structure so that the supporting structure is aligned with the first seasoning adding mechanism, and then the seasoning is sprinkled and collected by the supporting structure.

[0025] Before adding seasonings using the second seasoning adding mechanism, the switching part is controlled to rotate so that the supporting structure is downward or rotates to invade the space above the supporting structure, while keeping the opening end of the second concave cavity aligned with the second seasoning adding mechanism, and then adding seasonings, collecting the seasonings through the second concave cavity.

[0026] The barbecue seasoning recycling method according to embodiments of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: The barbecue seasoning recycling method of the present invention, by controlling the rotation of the first recycling unit or controlling the rotation of the switching unit to form a shield, ensures that there is no cross-contamination between the seasoning collection and the oil collection. This allows for independent collection of seasonings and cooking oil while avoiding cross-contamination, facilitating recycling and reuse, and reducing losses and operating costs. Simultaneously, it maintains the cleanliness of the barbecue equipment for a long time, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning and maintenance.

[0027] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or their sequential relationship.

[0039] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0040] In existing technologies, some barbecue machines are equipped with powder seasoning and liquid seasoning dispensing mechanisms to automatically add seasonings and oil. The powder dispensing mechanism adds granular or powdered seasonings such as cumin, chili powder, and salt, while the liquid seasoning dispensing mechanism sprays on cooking oil. However, the automatic dispensing and oiling process can contaminate the barbecue machine and is difficult to clean. Furthermore, compared to the traditional manual seasoning and oiling method, automatic dispensing and oiling results in increased seasoning and oil wastage to ensure sufficient amounts of seasoning and oil, thus raising operating costs.

[0041] Therefore, the present invention provides a barbecue seasoning recycling device that can independently collect seasonings and cooking oil to achieve recycling and reduce losses.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 7As shown, a barbecue seasoning recycling device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper component 100 and a lower component 200. The upper component 100 is provided with a first seasoning adding mechanism 101 and a second seasoning adding mechanism 102. The first seasoning adding mechanism 101 is used to add granular or powdered seasonings, and the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is used to add liquid seasonings. The lower component 200 is located below the upper component 100 and is provided with a base 203, a first recycling part 201 and a second recycling part 202. The first recycling part 201 is provided with a supporting structure 2011, and the second recycling part 202 is provided with a second cavity 2021, the opening end of the second cavity 2021 facing upward.

[0043] The barbecue seasoning collection device of this invention includes a first seasoning adding mechanism 101, a second seasoning adding mechanism 102, a first collection section 201, and a second collection section 202. The two collection sections can collect one type of barbecue seasoning spilled from the upper component 100. For example, the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 is aligned with a supporting structure to collect granular or powdered seasonings. When these seasonings are spilled from barbecued foods such as skewers, they are automatically collected by gravity. The second concave cavity 2021 is aligned with the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 to collect liquid seasonings. When the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is operating, its upper opening automatically receives the liquid seasonings. The additives in the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 include, but are not limited to, salt, chili powder, and cumin. The additives in the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 include, but are not limited to, cooking oil, chili sauce, and sesame paste. Therefore, the barbecue seasoning collection device of this invention can independently collect seasonings and cooking oil.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower component 200 is further provided with a switching section. A second collection section 202 is disposed on the base 203, and the switching section is rotatably disposed on the base 203. Since the second collection section 202 is disposed on the base 203, the switching section can also be disposed on the second collection section 202. A first collection section 201 is disposed on the switching section, and the supporting structure includes a first cavity 2011. The first collection section 201 can switch from upward to downward at the opening end of the first cavity 2011 during the rotation of the switching section. Using the structure of this embodiment, the first collection section 201 rotates itself by rotating the switching section, thereby adjusting the opening orientation of the first cavity 2011. When collecting seasonings, rotating the switching section causes the opening of the first cavity 2011 to face upward, achieving automatic collection of seasonings. After collection is complete, the switching section can be rotated again to control the opening of the first cavity 2011 to face downward, discharging the seasonings. Furthermore, when the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is operating, the switching unit can be controlled to rotate so that the opening of the first cavity 2011 faces downwards, preventing oil splashed or falling in all directions from entering the first cavity 2011 and thus avoiding contamination of the seasonings. Considering the viscosity of the oil, if the first cavity 2011 collects the oil, it is easy for it to drip during the turning process, causing contamination, or it is easy for it to spread along the side wall of the first cavity 2011 to the surface of the first collection unit 201 and other component surfaces, causing contamination. Therefore, it is preferable to configure the first cavity 2011 to collect the seasonings and the second cavity 2021 to collect the oil. It is understood that the supporting structure can also adopt a planar structure to achieve the collection of powder or granular seasonings.

[0045] Based on the above structural configuration, the switching unit is equipped with a first guide plate 2013. The first guide plate 2013 is configured such that when the switching unit rotates to the point where the opening end of the first cavity 2011 faces downwards, the end of the first guide plate 2013 extends obliquely to the opening end of the second cavity 2021. Using the structural configuration of this embodiment, an outwardly radiating oil collection and guiding structure can be formed using the first collection unit 201, the switching unit, and the first guide plate 2013. Since the oil is sprayed as a diffused oil mist, although adaptive collection can be achieved by increasing the horizontal dimension of the second cavity 2021, the size of the barbecue grill is ultimately limited, and in practical applications, the size of the second cavity 2021 will not be set too large. Furthermore, due to the influence of airflow, some of the oil mist will drift outwards. In this embodiment, the first recovery unit 201, the switching unit, and the first guide plate 2013 are used to form an oil collection and guiding structure that radiates outward. When the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is working, oil mist can be collected on the outside of the second cavity 2021 and the collected oil can be discharged into the second cavity 2021.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the switching part is provided with a swing arm 2014, the rotation center of the switching part is located at one end of the swing arm 2014, and the first recovery part 201 is provided at the end of the swing arm 2014 away from the rotation center. Thus, when the swing arm 2014 rotates, the first recovery part 201 will swing around the other end of the swing arm 2014 under the drive of the swing arm 2014, and change the opening orientation of the first cavity 2011 by swinging. The first guide plate 2013 is provided at the end of the first recovery part 201 near the rotation center of the switching part, and is connected to the edge of the other end of the first recovery part 201 opposite to the opening end of the first cavity 2011, i.e. Figure 3 The position is located at the right edge of the lower end of the first recovery section 201 in the indicated direction. The first guide plate 2013 forms an acute angle with the side wall of the first recovery section 201. When the switching section rotates to the point where the opening end of the first cavity 2011 faces downward, the opening end of the first cavity 2011 and the second cavity 2021 are horizontally misaligned. With the structural configuration of this embodiment, the opening direction of the first cavity 2011 is switched by the swing of the swing arm 2014. The swing arm 2014 is used to make the opening end of the first cavity 2011 horizontally misaligned with the second cavity 2021 when it faces downward. This ensures that the second cavity 2021 can smoothly recover oil while the back side of the first recovery section 201 relative to the opening end of the first cavity 2011 cooperates with the first guide plate 2013 to form the oil collection and guiding structure in the aforementioned embodiment. Meanwhile, the swing arm 2014 makes the opening of the first cavity 2011 face downwards while being offset from the second cavity 2021. This allows the seasonings collected in the first cavity 2011 to be discharged, while also preventing them from falling into the second cavity 2021 and contaminating the oil.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the switching unit and the first recovery unit 201 are integrally formed. The first recovery unit 201 is provided with a first base plate 2015, and first side plates 2016 are provided on the left and right sides and front and rear sides of the first base plate 2015, thereby defining a first recess 2011 with an upper opening. The first guide plate 2013 can be welded to the outside of the first side plate 2016 on the right side of the first recovery unit 201. The first side plates 2016 on the front and rear sides of the first recovery unit 201 extend to the right to form two swing arms 2014, which are used to rotatably mount onto the second recovery unit 202 or the base 203.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first recovery unit 201 has a second guide plate 2012 at one end of the first cavity 2011 near the first guide plate 2013. The second guide plate 2012 is connected to the edge of the opening end of the first cavity 2011. Figure 4The upper end of the first side plate 2016 on the right side is shown. The second guide plate 2012 is distributed at an obtuse angle to the side wall of the first cavity 2011. Since the seasoning collected in the first cavity 2011 may spill out during the rotation of the first collection part 201 with the swing arm 2014, this embodiment, by setting the second guide plate 2012, can limit the seasoning when it is concentrated at the right end of the first cavity 2011 under the action of gravity, and prevent it from falling out from the outside of the first side plate 2016 on the right side of the first collection part 201. Furthermore, since the second guide plate 2012 is at an obtuse angle to the connected second side plate 2023, when the first collection part 201 rotates to the point where the opening end of the first cavity 2011 faces downward, the second guide plate 2012 is tilted downward and will not obstruct the discharge of the seasoning.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, the rotation center of the switching unit is located at the midpoint of the width direction of the second cavity 2021, and the length of the swing arm 2014 is greater than or equal to half the width of the second cavity 2021. With this structural arrangement, the first recovery unit 201 is horizontally offset from the second cavity 2021 regardless of whether the opening of the first cavity 2011 is facing upwards or the opening of the second cavity 2021 is facing downwards, thus avoiding obstruction. It should be noted that the rotation center of the switching unit is not limited to the midpoint of the width direction of the second cavity 2021; it can be to the left or right of the midpoint.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the second recovery section 202 includes a second base plate 2022 and second side plates 2023 disposed on the front and rear sides and left and right sides of the second base plate 2022, thereby defining a second recess 2021 with an upper opening. A swing arm 2014 is rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two second side plates 2023, thereby supporting the first recovery section 201 via the second recovery section 202. When the first recovery section 201 rotates to the left side of the second recovery section 202, such that the opening of the first recess 2011 is upward, the second recovery section 202 supports the lower end of the first recovery section 201, ensuring the stability of the first recovery section 201. When the first recovery section 201 rotates to the right side of the second recovery section 202, such that the opening of the first recess 2011 is downward, the first recovery section 201 is supported by abutting against one or more of the first guide plate 2013, the swing arm 2014, and the first side plate 2016.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower component 200 is further provided with a switching section. A first recycling section 201 and a second recycling section 202 are arranged side-by-side on the base 203. The switching section is rotatably positioned between the first recycling section 201 and the second recycling section 202, and can shield the opening end of either the first cavity 2011 or the second cavity 2021 during rotation. With the structural configuration of this embodiment, the switching section is located between the first recycling section 201 and the second recycling section 202, and can swing left and right, thereby selectively shielding either the opening end of the first cavity 2011 or the opening end of the second cavity 2021. When the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 is working, the switching section can be controlled to be vertical or tilted towards the end of the second cavity 2021, causing the seasoning to automatically fall into the first cavity 2011, and the switching section forming a shield to prevent the seasoning from falling into the second cavity 2021. Conversely, when the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is working, the switching part can be controlled to be in a vertical position or rotate towards the end of the first cavity 2011, so that the oil automatically falls into the second cavity 2021, while the switching part forms a shield to prevent the oil from entering the first cavity 2011.

[0052] In summary, the barbecue seasoning recycling device of this invention can independently collect seasonings and cooking oil, avoiding cross-contamination, facilitating recycling and reuse, and reducing losses and operating costs. It also keeps the barbecue machine clean for extended periods, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning and maintenance.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, the switching unit is provided with a first guide plate 2013. The first guide plate 2013 is configured such that when the switching unit rotates to cover the opening end of the first cavity 2011, the end of the first guide plate 2013 extends obliquely to the opening end of the second cavity 2021. It is understood that the first guide plate 2013 does not need to penetrate the second cavity 2021, but its end can be located above the opening end of the second cavity 2021. In this way, the switching unit and the first guide plate 2013 can form an oil collection and guiding structure on the outside of the second cavity 2021. When the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is working, oil mist can be collected on the outside of the second cavity 2021 and the collected oil can be discharged into the second cavity 2021.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second recycling section 202 is detachably connected to the base 203, and the switching section is rotatably disposed on the second recycling section 202. With the structural configuration of this embodiment, only the second recycling section 202 needs to be disassembled to remove the first recycling section 201 and the second recycling section 202 from the base 203 together, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance, as well as for quick disassembly and assembly.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the base 203 is fixedly connected to the upper component 100 via a connecting rod structure 204. In some barbecue machines, it is necessary to control the lateral movement of the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 and the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 to connect multiple skewers distributed laterally. In this embodiment, the connecting rod structure 204 is used to fix the base 203 below the upper component 100. The first recovery part 201 and the second recovery part 202 will move with the movement of the upper component 100 to ensure timely recovery of seasonings and oil.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the barbecue seasoning recovery device further includes a drive unit 300 and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a first connector 302 located at the power output end of the drive unit 300 and a second connector 301 located at the rotation center of the switching unit. The first connector 302 and the second connector 301 are configured as a separable docking structure. The drive unit 300 is used to drive the switching unit to rotate when the first connector 302 and the second connector 301 are docked. By adopting the structural configuration of this embodiment, the drive of the switching unit is set independently, which can effectively reduce the overall weight of the lower assembly 200 compared to setting it on the base 203. It is understood that in this embodiment, the switching unit can only rotate and switch when the first connector 302 and the second connector 301 are docked. Therefore, in practical applications, the addition of seasoning is preferably carried out when the first connector 302 and the second connector 301 are docked, so as to first control the rotation of the switching unit to a state where the oil does not enter the first cavity 2011 and the oil is easily recovered.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the second cavity 2021 is provided with a discharge port 2024. The discharge port 2024 is openable and closable to discharge oil when needed.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first recovery section 201 and the second recovery section 202 are distributed left and right, and the first recovery section 201 and the switching section are an integral structure, with its rotation center located at the midpoint of its width direction, so that it remains in place and flips on one side of the second recovery section 202. In this embodiment, when the first cavity 2011 is upward, the first guide plate 2013 is located on the side of the first recovery section 201 away from the second recovery section 202 and extends upward at an angle, so that when the first recovery section 201 rotates and flips clockwise, it engages with the second cavity 2021.

[0059] Reference Figures 1 to 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the barbecue seasoning recycling device includes an upper component 100, a lower component 200, and a drive unit 300. The upper component 100 has a first seasoning adding mechanism 101 and a second seasoning adding mechanism 102 arranged side-by-side. The first seasoning adding mechanism 101 is used for sprinkling granular or powdered seasonings, and the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is used for spraying edible oil. The lower component 200 is located below the upper component 100 and includes a base 203, a switching unit, a first recycling unit 201, and a second recycling unit 202. The base 203 is fixed below the upper component 100 by a connecting rod structure 204. Both the first recycling unit 201 and the second recycling unit 202 are channel structures, respectively defining a first cavity 2011 and a second cavity 2021 with an upper opening. The second recovery unit 202 is detachably mounted on the base 203 and located directly below the second seasoning adding mechanism 102. The length and width of the second cavity 2021 are adapted to the oil spraying radiation area of ​​the second seasoning adding mechanism 102. The switching unit includes swing arms 2014 rotatably disposed on the front and rear sides of the second cavity 2021, and the first recovery unit 201 is fixedly disposed between the ends of the two swing arms 2014. A connecting post is provided at the rear end of the rear swing arm 2014 along the rotation center of the swing arm 2014, and a second connecting member 301 is provided at the end of the connecting post. The drive unit 300 includes a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is provided with a first connecting member 302. The first connecting member 302 and the second connecting member 301 are gear structures to achieve meshing and disengagement. A first guide plate 2013 extending in the upper right direction is provided at the lower right side of the first recovery unit 201, and a second guide plate 2012 extending in the upper left direction is provided at the upper right side of the first recovery unit 201. The first recovery unit 201 swings the swing arm 2014 to... Figure 3 In the indicated state, it is located below the first seasoning adding mechanism 101.

[0060] During operation, material spreading and oil spraying are performed separately. Specifically, when material spreading is performed, the second seasoning adding mechanism 102 is not working, and when seasoning adding is performed, the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 is not working. During material spreading, the first recovery unit 201 is in operation. Figure 3 The system is in a state of flux, allowing for the recovery of excess seasoning. When seasoning is added, the drive motor is first started, causing the first recovery section 201 to rotate, flipping it from the left side to the right side of the second recovery section 202. This reverses the opening direction of the first cavity 2011, allowing the collected seasoning to be discharged. At this time, the lower end of the first guide plate 2013 extends into or is positioned above the second cavity 2021. After oil injection is initiated, the second cavity 2021 collects oil. Simultaneously, the back of the first recovery section 201, combined with the first guide plate 2013, collects and guides the oil that has spilled onto the first recovery section 201 into the second cavity 2021.

[0061] It is understandable that the angle settings of the first guide vane 2013 and the second guide vane 2012 can be flexibly adjusted and are not limited to the obtuse or acute angle directions mentioned above.

[0062] In addition, the present invention also proposes a method for recycling barbecue seasoning, applied to the above-mentioned barbecue seasoning recycling device, comprising:

[0063] Before the first seasoning adding mechanism 101 adds seasoning, the control switching unit rotates to the point where the opening end of the first concave cavity 2011 is aligned with the first seasoning adding mechanism 101, or rotates to the point where it exits the space above the first concave cavity 2011 so that the opening end of the first concave cavity 2011 is aligned with the first seasoning adding mechanism 101, and then the seasoning is sprinkled and collected through the first concave cavity 2011.

[0064] Before adding seasonings, the control switching unit rotates to the point where the opening end of the first cavity 2011 faces downwards or rotates to the point where it enters the space above the first cavity 2011, while keeping the opening end of the second cavity 2021 aligned with the second seasoning adding mechanism 102, and then adds seasonings, collecting them through the second cavity 2021.

[0065] The barbecue seasoning recycling method of this invention ensures that there is no cross-contamination between seasoning collection and oil collection by controlling the rotation of the first recycling unit 201 or the rotation of the switching unit to form a shield. This allows for independent collection of seasonings and cooking oil, avoids cross-contamination, facilitates recycling and reuse, and reduces losses and operating costs. It also keeps the barbecue machine clean for extended periods, reducing the difficulty of later cleaning and maintenance.

[0066] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the embodiments. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
