DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] The principles and features of the present disclosure are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present disclosure but not to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0037] The present disclosure provides the following preferred embodiments:

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a food processing device comprises a support 11, a griddle 12 is provided above the support 11, and further comprises a storage box 13, a stirring mechanism, a feeding mechanism and a heating mechanism.

[0039] The storage box 13 is located above the support 11 and is used to store the pancake liquid. Both sides of the storage box 13 are provided with walking components. The walking mechanism is used to drive the storage box 13 to move on the support 11, so that the pancake liquid inside the storage box 13 can be evenly spread on the griddle 12. It can be understood that the griddle 12 is used as a pancake-spreading utensil. Its specific material can refer to the existing technology and will not be described here. The shape of the griddle 12 is related to the walking track of the storage box 13. For example, Figure 1 In the embodiment, the walking track of the storage box 13 is a straight line, and accordingly, the shape of the griddle 12 is a rectangle. Of course, in other embodiments, as the walking track of the storage box 13 changes, the shape of the griddle 12 also changes accordingly.

[0040] The stirring mechanism includes a driving assembly, a stirring rod 16 and a stirring blade 17. The stirring rod 16 is symmetrically arranged inside the storage box 13. Both ends of each stirring rod 16 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the storage box 13. Each stirring blade 17 is installed on the surface of a stirring rod 16. The driving assembly is installed on the side of the storage box 13, and the driving assembly is located between the two stirring rods 16.

[0041] When in use, firstly, appropriate amount of flour and water are put into the storage box 13, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the two stirring rods 16 to rotate, and the stirring rods 16 can drive the two stirring blades 17 to rotate when rotating, and the stirring blades 17 can stir the flour and water when rotating to form pancake liquid. In addition, while making pancakes, the driving mechanism can also be kept rotating to make the pancake liquid more uniform.

[0042] The unloading mechanism includes a discharge chute 20, a baffle 21 and a telescopic assembly. The discharge chute 20 is installed in the middle of the lower part of the storage box 13, and the inner cavity of the discharge chute 20 is connected with the inner cavity of the storage box 13, the baffle 21 is located below the discharge chute 20, and the telescopic assembly is located between the baffle 21 and the storage box 13. The baffle 21 can be driven to move by the telescopic assembly. When it is necessary to spread pancakes, the baffle 21 is driven to move by the telescopic assembly so that the baffle 21 can be moved out from the lower part of the discharge chute 20 to release the blockage of the discharge chute 20. At this time, the pancake liquid can flow out through the discharge chute 20 to achieve the spreading of pancakes. When it is finished, the baffle 21 is driven to reset by the telescopic assembly so that the baffle 21 can block the discharge chute 20, and the pancake liquid cannot flow out from the discharge chute 20.

[0043] In one embodiment, the heating mechanism includes a first electric heating plate 32 , which is installed between the bracket 11 and the griddle 12 for heating the griddle 12 .

[0044] In another embodiment, the heating mechanism further includes a second heating plate 31, which is installed below the storage box 13 and located at one side of the discharge chute 20. The second heating plate 31 is used to heat the upper part of the pancake liquid.

[0045] In this way, the first electric heating plate 32 and the second electric heating plate 31 can heat the upper and lower surfaces of the pancake liquid respectively, and the heating efficiency is high.

[0046] In one embodiment, the driving assembly includes a motor 19 and two gears 18, the two gears 18 are located on one side of the storage box 13, one end of each stirring rod 16 passes through the storage box 13 and is connected to a gear 18, the two gears 18 are meshed with each other, and the motor 19 is installed on the other side of the storage box 13, and the output end of the motor 19 is fixedly connected to the end of one of the stirring rods 16.

[0047] When the pancake liquid in the storage box 13 needs to be stirred, the driving motor 19 starts working, and the motor 19 drives the stirring rod 16 connected to the output end of the motor 19 to rotate, and the stirring rod 16 drives the gear 18 connected thereto to rotate. Since the two gears 18 are meshed with each other, the two stirring rods 16 can rotate synchronously. When the stirring rod 16 rotates, it can drive the stirring blades 17 to rotate, so that the two stirring blades 17 can mix the pancake liquid in the storage box 13.

[0048] In one embodiment, the telescopic assembly includes a handle 26 , a lifting plate 27 , a guide rod 28 , a second spring 29 , a limiting plate 22 , a pull rope 24 and a plurality of first springs 23 .

[0049] The limiting plate 22 is fixed to the bottom of the storage box 13, and the two ends of the limiting plate 22 are fixedly connected to the two mounting plates 14. The baffle plate 21 is inserted in the middle of the limiting plate 22 and is slidably connected to the limiting plate 22. A plurality of first springs 23 are equidistantly fixed between the limiting plate 22 and the baffle plate 21. The handle 26 is located on one side of the storage box 13 and is fixedly connected to the storage box 13. The lifting plate 27 is located below the handle 26. The guide rod 28 is fixed to the top of the lifting plate 27. The other end of the guide rod 28 is slidably set on the handle 26. The second spring 29 is fixed between the handle 26 and the lifting plate 27. The two ends of the pull rope 24 are respectively fixedly connected to the lifting plate 27 and the baffle plate 21. A guide wheel 25 for guiding the pull rope 24 is fixed below the storage box 13.

[0050] When the pancake liquid needs to flow out from the discharge chute 20, the operator can pinch the lifting plate 27 by hand to move the lifting plate 27 upward. At this time, the second spring 29 is compressed, and under the action of the pull rope 24, it can drive the baffle 21 to move inside the limit plate 22. The first spring 23 is stretched until the baffle 21 is separated from the bottom end of the discharge chute 20. At this time, the blockage of the bottom end of the discharge chute 20 is released, and the pancake liquid inside the storage box 13 can flow out from the discharge chute 20, which is convenient for subsequent pancake spreading.

[0051] When the pancake liquid is not needed, the lifting plate 27 is released. At this time, the lifting plate 27 can be reset under the action of the second spring 29, and the baffle 21 can be reset under the action of the first spring 23, so that the baffle 21 can block the bottom end of the discharge trough 20 again to prevent the pancake liquid from flowing out.

[0052] In one embodiment, the walking assembly includes two mounting plates 14 and four rollers 15. The two mounting plates 14 are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the bottom of the storage box 13. Every two rollers 15 are rotatably arranged on one side of a mounting plate 14. By using multiple rollers 15, when the handle 26 is pushed, the storage box 13 can be driven to move on the bracket 11, so that the pancake liquid can be evenly spread on the griddle 12.

[0053] In one embodiment, a flattening roller 30 is provided under the storage box 13, and the flattening roller 30 is located between the second electric heating plate 31 and the discharge trough 20. The flattening roller 30 is rotatably arranged under the storage box 13. When the pancake liquid flows out from the discharge trough 20 and is spread on the griddle 12, the flattening roller 30 can flatten the pancake liquid to ensure that the thickness of the pancake is uniform. There is no need for manual scraping with a scraper, which is beneficial to improving the efficiency of making pancakes.

[0054] The present disclosure also provides a food processing device, which includes a flat plate portion 100 and a funnel portion 200 disposed above the flat plate portion 100 and movable along the longitudinal direction of the flat plate portion 100. The flat plate portion 100 is rectangular, and a heating element is disposed inside the flat plate portion to heat the surface of the flat plate; the funnel portion 200 includes a main body portion, a walking assembly disposed on both sides of the bottom of the main body portion, and a handheld portion 400 extending along the moving direction of the funnel portion. The main body portion of the funnel portion 200 has an opening at the top for containing pancake liquid, and the main body portion of the funnel portion 200 has a discharge port at the bottom.

[0055] When the food processing device is used for making pancakes, the pancake liquid can be placed in the funnel part 200, and the operator holds the hand-held part 400 and pulls the funnel part 200 to perform unidirectional or reciprocating motion along the longitudinal direction of the flat plate part 100. During the motion, the pancake liquid flows out from the discharge port at the bottom of the main body of the funnel part 200 and is spread on the flat plate part 100, and is heated by the heating element inside the flat plate part. The device itself can achieve the leveling of the pancake liquid without the need for manual scraping with a scraper, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of making pancakes.

[0056] It is understandable that the discharge port can be a strip-shaped gap, the length of which is smaller than the width of the flat plate portion, so that the pancake liquid inside the funnel portion 200 can flow out with the movement. Of course, in other examples, the discharge port can also be a plurality of small holes evenly distributed at the bottom of the main body of the funnel portion 200.

[0057] refer to Figure 6 As shown, the flat plate portion 100 may include a support 11 and a griddle 12 commonly used for making pancakes and disposed on the support 11. It is understood that the heating element may be located between the support 11 and the griddle 12, for example, the heating element is located between the support 11 and the griddle 12. Of course, in other embodiments, the heating element may also be directly disposed on the upper surface of the support 11, or disposed inside the griddle 12.

[0058] In one embodiment, the handheld portion 300 is provided with a control portion connected to the handheld portion, and the control portion is located on the inner surface or outer surface of the bottom of the main body of the funnel portion 200, and is in contact with the inner surface or outer surface of the bottom. The control portion can be moved by the control of the handheld portion 300. When it moves to a first position, the control portion is located at the discharge port at the bottom of the main body and can cover the discharge port. When it moves to a second position, the control portion is moved away from the discharge port. When the operator moves the control portion to cover the discharge port at the bottom of the main body, the pancake liquid cannot flow out. When the control portion is moved away from the discharge port, the pancake liquid flows out from the discharge port again. In this way, the operator can flexibly control the outflow or stop of the pancake liquid to meet the different needs of different customers for the thickness of the pancakes. The specific structure of the control portion can refer to the aforementioned embodiments and Figure 4 , Figure 5 The structure of the middle baffle 21.

[0059] In another embodiment, the walking component includes a first group of rollers 400 or a second group of rollers (not shown), wherein the first group of rollers 400 are arranged in a vertical direction and can roll along the upper side of the flat plate portion 100 in a direction consistent with the longitudinal direction of the flat plate portion 100, and the second group of rollers are arranged in a horizontal direction, fit with the outer side of the flat plate portion 100, and roll horizontally along the outer side surface of the flat plate portion 100.

[0060] It is understandable that the first group of rollers 400 arranged in the vertical direction can refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 And the structure of the roller 15 in the aforementioned embodiment.

[0061] In another embodiment, the second set of rollers arranged in a horizontal direction is not shown in the figure, and its direction is perpendicular to the first set of rollers 400, that is, the wheels are arranged horizontally, and the axes of the wheels are vertically fixed on the main body of the funnel part 200, so that the second set of rollers rolls horizontally along the outer side of the flat plate part 100. In this way, the movement of the walking component can be more flexible.

[0062] The beneficial effects of the present disclosure are specifically embodied in that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure should be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
