Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking technology, and more particularly to a multifunctional cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] With social development and the accelerated pace of life, buying, washing, and cooking vegetables has become tedious and inconvenient. Meanwhile, in situations requiring large-scale, uniform cooking that necessitates on-the-spot preparation, cooking machines have become invaluable tools. They can perform simple cooking tasks such as adding ingredients and stir-frying, offering ease of operation and convenience. However, existing cooking machines use electromagnetic heating, placing the pot directly on the stovetop. During cooking, the high temperature of the pot is directly transferred to the stovetop, placing high demands on the stovetop's heat resistance and reliability. Furthermore, the heat from the pot is wasted through heat dissipation from the stovetop. Additionally, using a stirring device instead of a ladle for stirring results in a smaller stirring area and poor applicability, leading to incomplete stirring or burning, thus reducing cooking quality. Moreover, only one cooking mode can be used at a time: stir-frying, pan-frying, or boiling; and existing cooking machines can only pan-fry on one side. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a multi-functional cooking machine that can perform two cooking modes simultaneously, solving the problem that existing cooking machines can only perform one cooking mode at a time.

[0004] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: A multi-functional cooking machine includes a stove, a pot, a lid, and a flip-top mechanism. The flip-top mechanism includes a column and a rotating arm. The column is fixed on the stove, and the rotating arm is swayably connected to the top of the column. A flip-top motor for driving the rotating arm to swing is provided inside the column. A ladle assembly is provided inside the lid, and a stirring motor for driving the ladle assembly to rotate is provided outside. The ladle assembly is connected to the stirring motor through a vertical rotating shaft. The stove has a pot limiting structure, and the pot is limited on the stove by the pot limiting structure. The pot is circular, and a circular isolation ring is provided inside the pot. The circular isolation ring is coaxial with the pot and separates the pot into an inner cooking area and an outer cooking area. The ladle assembly includes a first... A spatula is connected to a vertical rotating shaft and located in the outer cooking zone via a connecting arm, and several chopsticks are connected to the vertical rotating shaft and located in the outer cooking zone via a second connecting arm. The upper end of the spatula is provided with a handle, which can be raised and lowered and sleeved on the first connecting arm so that the spatula abuts against the bottom surface of the outer cooking zone under the action of its weight. The several chopsticks are connected to a chopstick connecting seat, which is connected to the second connecting arm. The stove is provided with a first heater for heating the inner cooking zone and a second heater for heating the outer cooking zone, which are connected in parallel. The method of cooking food is as follows: the dish to be stir-fried is placed in the outer cooking zone for stir-frying while soup is simmering in the inner cooking zone. When stir-frying, the stirring motor is started to drive the spatula and chopsticks to move along the circumference of the vertical stirring shaft in the outer cooking zone. This technical solution allows the spatula to rise and fall, preventing it from getting stuck in the food and hindering its rotation. The chopsticks are designed to move the food along its length in line with the circumference of the outer cooking zone, while the spatula rotates the food and moves it along its length in line with the radial direction of the outer cooking zone, thus improving the movement of the food during stir-frying. The inner and outer cooking zones can be used rotatably, eliminating the need for a separate heater for the cooking zone, which can be stopped independently, thus saving energy.

[0005] Preferably, the lower end face of the vertical rotating shaft of the stirring motor is provided with a vertical sliding hole for the vertical rotating shaft, and a sliding sleeve for the vertical rotating shaft passes through the vertical sliding hole. A first electromagnet for the vertical rotating shaft is provided on the circumference of the vertical sliding hole, and a second electromagnet for the vertical rotating shaft is provided on the top wall. A permanent magnet for the vertical rotating shaft is provided at the upper end of the sliding sleeve for the vertical rotating shaft, and a connecting frame for the vertical rotating shaft located below the vertical rotating shaft is connected to the lower end of the vertical rotating shaft connecting frame. Vertical rotating shaft clamping fingers and a clamping finger closing spring for driving the clamping fingers to close are connected to both sides of the connecting frame for the vertical rotating shaft via a horizontal hinge. The lower end of the clamping fingers is connected to one end of an arc-shaped elastic guide rod for the vertical rotating shaft. The circular and vertical rotating shaft are coaxial with the horizontal hinge axis. The other end of the guide rod on one of the vertical rotating shaft fingers is located on the side of one vertical rotating shaft finger away from the other. A downwardly extending vertical rotating shaft pressing cylinder is connected inside the vertical rotating shaft sliding sleeve. The lower end of the vertical rotating shaft pressing cylinder is connected to a vertical rotating shaft pressing plate, which is located between the two vertical rotating shaft fingers. When the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate moves downward, it can drive the two vertical rotating shaft fingers to separate. The vertical rotating shaft fingers are located in the inner cooking zone. The process of frying food in the inner cooking zone is as follows: place the food in the inner cooking zone and start the second heater. This process de-energizes the first and second electromagnets of the vertical output shaft. Under the influence of gravity, the vertical output shaft sliding sleeve descends and is supported within the inner cooking zone by the guide rod. Power is supplied to the second electromagnet, which then attracts the sliding sleeve, preventing it from rising or falling. The pressing cylinder drives the pressing block to descend, pressing the food and causing the fingers to separate to both sides of the pressed food. This de-energizes the first electromagnet and powers the second electromagnet, which then generates a force that repels the permanent magnet of the vertical output shaft, causing the fingers to be held in place. The lower end remains abutting against the bottom wall of the cooking zone. The vertically extending shaft press cylinder drives the vertical output shaft pressing block to rise, thus releasing its separating action on the vertical output shaft's gripping fingers. The vertical output shaft's gripping finger closing spring drives the fingers to close, allowing them to hold the food. Changing the polarity of the electricity supplied to the second electromagnet of the vertical output shaft causes it to generate a force attracting the permanent magnet of the vertical output shaft, pulling the vertical output shaft's sliding sleeve upwards. This upward pull drives the vertical output shaft's gripping fingers to move upwards, lifting the food, thus completing one pressurized frying action. This process is repeated until the food is fried to the required consistency. This technical solution avoids prolonged contact between the food and the inner cooking zone, preventing charring. It enables pressurized frying, improving efficiency. During the pressing and frying process, the vertical output shaft pressing block rotates along with the vertical rotating shaft, further enhancing frying efficiency.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate is equipped with a vertical rotating shaft heater. This allows for heating food on both sides during frying, resulting in a fast frying speed.

[0007] Preferably, the lower surface of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate is provided with several vertical rotating shaft recesses, and a spark plug is installed in each of the vertical rotating shaft recesses. During the process of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate pressing the food until it is firmly held, the spark plug ignites, consuming the oxygen on the pressing side of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate. This allows for anaerobic frying, improving the texture of the food.

[0008] Preferably, the cookware limiting structure is a limiting ring disposed on the upper surface of the stove, and the cookware can be removed and inserted into the limiting ring. The structure is simple.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the stove is provided with a mounting pit, and the limiting ring can be pulled out and inserted into the mounting pit. The lower end of the limiting ring is provided with a supporting base plate, and both the first heater and the second heater are disposed within the supporting base plate. This allows for convenient replacement of partial components.

[0010] The present invention has the following advantages: it can perform two cooking modes simultaneously; it has a good flipping effect; it can perform pressure frying, resulting in a good frying effect; and it can be lifted during the frying process to prevent charring.

The pot lid contains a ladle assembly and an external stirring motor 16 that drives the ladle assembly to rotate. The ladle assembly is connected to the stirring motor via a vertical rotating shaft 17. The ladle assembly includes a spatula 19 connected to the vertical rotating shaft via a first connecting arm 18 and located in the outer cooking zone, and several chopsticks 21 connected to the vertical rotating shaft via a second connecting arm 20 and located in the outer cooking zone. The upper end of the spatula has a handle 22, which can be raised and lowered and fitted onto the first connecting arm so that the spatula abuts against the bottom surface of the outer cooking zone under its own weight. The chopsticks are connected to a chopstick connecting seat 23, which is connected to the second connecting arm. The lower end face of the vertical rotating shaft of the stirring motor is provided with a vertical sliding hole 24 for the vertical rotating shaft part, and a vertical rotating shaft part sliding sleeve 25 is inserted into the vertical sliding hole. A first electromagnet 26 for the vertical rotating shaft part is provided on the circumference of the vertical sliding hole, and a second electromagnet 27 for the vertical rotating shaft part is provided on the top wall. A permanent magnet 28 for the vertical rotating shaft part is provided at the upper end of the sliding sleeve for the vertical rotating shaft part, and a vertical rotating shaft part connecting bracket 29 located below the vertical rotating shaft is connected to the lower end. The two sides of the vertical rotating shaft part connecting bracket are connected to the vertical rotating shaft part horizontal hinge 30. The shaft-mounted finger 38 and a vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger-closing spring (a torsion spring sleeved on the horizontal hinge of the vertical rotating shaft) are provided to drive the vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger to close. The lower end of the vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger is connected to one end of an arc-shaped elastic vertical rotating shaft guide rod 31. The circle containing the vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger is coaxial with the horizontal hinge of the vertical rotating shaft. The other end of the vertical rotating shaft guide rod on one vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger is located on the side of one vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger away from the other vertical rotating shaft-mounted finger. A downwardly extending vertical rotating shaft-mounted pressing cylinder 32 is connected inside the vertical rotating shaft-mounted sliding sleeve. The lower end of the vertical rotating shaft-mounted pressing cylinder is connected to a vertical rotating shaft-mounted pressing plate 33. The vertical rotating shaft-mounted pressing plate is located between the two vertical rotating shaft-mounted fingers. When the vertical rotating shaft-mounted pressing plate moves downward, it can drive the two vertical rotating shaft-mounted fingers to separate, and the vertical rotating shaft-mounted fingers are located in the inner cooking area. A vertical rotating shaft heater 34 is provided inside the pressing plate of the vertical rotating shaft.The lower surface of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate is provided with several vertical rotating shaft recesses 35, and spark plugs 36 are provided in the vertical rotating shaft recesses; during the process of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate pressing the food until the food is pressed, the spark plugs ignite and consume the oxygen on the pressing side of the vertical rotating shaft pressing plate.

[0019] The method of cooking food is as follows: the vegetables that need to be stir-fried are placed in the outer cooking zone for stir-frying, while soup or pan-fried food is cooked in the inner cooking zone. When stir-frying, the stirring motor is started to drive the spatula and chopsticks to move along the circumference of the vertical stirring shaft in the outer cooking zone.

[0020] The process of frying food in the inner cooking zone is as follows: Food 37 is placed in the inner cooking zone and the second heater is activated, de-energizing the first and second electromagnets of the vertical output shaft. Under gravity, the vertical output shaft sliding sleeve descends and is supported within the inner cooking zone by the guide rod. Power is supplied to the second electromagnet, which attracts the vertical sliding sleeve, preventing it from rising or falling. The vertical output shaft pressing cylinder drives the pressing block to descend, pressing the food and causing the vertical output shaft grippers to separate to both sides of the pressed food. This de-energizes the first electromagnet and powers the second electromagnet, causing the second electromagnet to generate a force that repels the permanent magnet of the vertical output shaft, keeping the lower end of the grippers abutting against the cooking zone. On the bottom wall of the area, the vertical output shaft pressing cylinder drives the vertical output shaft pressing block to rise, thus losing its separating effect on the vertical output shaft clamping fingers. The vertical output shaft clamping finger closing spring drives the vertical output shaft clamping fingers to close, causing the vertical output shaft clamping fingers to hold the food. Changing the polarity of the electricity supplied to the second electromagnet of the vertical output shaft causes the second electromagnet of the vertical output shaft to generate a force that attracts the vertical output shaft permanent magnet, thereby pulling the vertical output shaft sliding sleeve upward. After the vertical output shaft sliding sleeve is pulled upward, it drives the vertical output shaft clamping fingers to move upward and lift the food. Then, the vertical output shaft pressing cylinder descends, driving the vertical output shaft pressing plate to drive the vertical output shaft clamping fingers to separate, causing the food to fall. The vertical output shaft pressing cylinder retracts and resets, thus completing one pressure frying action. The above process is repeated until the food is fried to the required standard.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
