[0002] At present, there are more and more automatic vending machines, not limited to beverage vending machines. There are also automatic food processing vending machines on the market, such as cooking machines, fried and boiled food vending machines. The vending machines are equipped with food silos, which store food and supply food for processing in time. Silos are mostly used to store frozen food, such as French fry machines, which store frozen French fries. However, the French fries will freeze together and clump together. When taking them, they need to be broken up so that they can be sent out from the silo. In the existing industry, the breaking up of frozen food is generally done by setting a rotatable stirring paddle in the drum of the silo, breaking up the clumps by rotating the stirring paddle, and then pushing them through the spiral blades. However, this kind of breaking up structure may cause the food to be broken up, which is not conducive to the integrity of the food delivery. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0034] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2A frying and boiling machine with multiple categories, including a material storage rack 1, a silo mechanism 10, a material taking mechanism 20, a frying rack 2, a material moving mechanism 30, a frying and boiling mechanism 40, a material receiving mechanism 50 and a delivery mechanism. There are multiple silo mechanisms 10 for accommodating different types of food or different categories of the same food, and the silo mechanisms 10 are arranged on the material storage rack 1; the material taking mechanism 20 is installed on one side of the material storage rack 1, including a movable receiving hopper 211, which is used to move to the corresponding material storage mechanism to receive food; the frying rack 2 and the material storage rack 1 are arranged side by side, and form a chamber wall that separates them; the material moving mechanism 30 is arranged in the frying rack 2, and one end of the material moving mechanism extends into the material storage rack 1 for receiving and taking food. The frying and boiling mechanism 40 is provided on the frying frame 2, and is used to receive the inputted ingredients and fry and boil the ingredients into food; the receiving mechanism 50 is provided on the frying frame 2, and is used to provide a receiving container and move the receiving container to the frying and boiling mechanism 40 to receive the fried and boiled food; the delivery mechanism 60 is provided on the frying frame 2, and is used to receive the container containing food on the receiving mechanism 50, and move the container containing food to the exit for taking.

[0035] Furthermore, the frying and boiling machine includes a housing 3, a material storage rack 1 and a frying rack 2 are installed in the housing 3, a closed chamber is formed on one side of the housing 3 where the material storage rack 1 is located, and a refrigeration device is installed in the closed chamber to keep the food fresh. A smoke window 4 is formed on one side of the housing 3 where the frying rack 2 is located to allow oil smoke to escape through the smoke window 4.

[0036] Furthermore, the housing 3 is provided with a transparent glass window, a display screen, and a plurality of retrieval windows. The transparent glass window is for consumers to view the food ingredients, the display screen can be set as a selection panel, a code scanning port is set below the display screen, and there can be multiple retrieval windows for picking up different foods.

[0037] See also Figure 3-Figure 6 The material bin mechanism 10 includes a material storage barrel structure and a material receiving and pushing-out structure. The material storage barrel structure can be stretchably installed above the material receiving and pushing-out structure to facilitate the installation of food after being pulled out. The material receiving and pushing-out structure is fixedly installed on the material storage frame 1 to accommodate the food falling out of the material storage barrel structure and send the food out.

[0038] The material storage barrel structure includes a roller 11, a driving frame structure 12 and a slide rail 13. The roller 11 is rotatably mounted on the driving frame structure 12, the driving frame structure 12 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 13, and the slide rail 13 is fixedly mounted on the material storage frame 1, so that the driving frame structure 12 and the roller 11 can slide on the slide rail 13.

[0039] Furthermore, a feeding port and a sliding door 111 corresponding to the feeding port are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the drum 11 .

[0040] Furthermore, a feeding opening 112 and an adjusting door 113 cooperating with the feeding opening 112 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the drum 11 near the end, and a feeding gap is formed between the adjusting door 113 and the feeding opening 112, and the feeding gap is for food to fall out, and the adjusting door 113 can adjust the width of the feeding gap. In this embodiment, by providing a clamping groove on both sides of the adjusting door, convex columns are formed on the surface of the drum 11 on both sides of the feeding opening 112, and the width of the feeding gap can be adjusted by the slidable and tight clamping cooperation between the clamping groove and the convex column.

[0041] Furthermore, breaking leaves 114 are integrally formed on the inner circumferential surface of the drum 11 for breaking up agglomerated food materials when the drum 11 rotates.

[0042] Furthermore, a shielding plate 115 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the drum 11 adjacent to the drop opening 112, which is arranged at one end of the drop opening 112 and extends obliquely above the drop opening 112, and is used to block the food from falling out of the drop opening 112 when the drum 11 rotates in the positive direction (such as counterclockwise direction), and when the drum 11 rotates in the reverse direction (such as clockwise direction), it can block the food at the drop opening 112, so that the food falls out from the drop gap of the drop opening 112.

[0043] Furthermore, a rotating gear 116 is fixedly provided at one end of the drum 11 to drive the drum 11 to rotate.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the driving frame structure 12 includes a support seat and a driving assembly. The support seat supports the roller 11, and the driving assembly drives the roller 11 to rotate forward or reverse.

[0045] The support seat includes a base frame 121, support plates 122 installed at both ends of the base frame 121, and bearing seats 123 installed on the support plates 122. The two bearing seats 123 support the shafts protruding from both ends of the drum 11, and the drum 11 can rotate relative to the bearing seats 123.

[0046] The driving assembly includes a driving motor 124 and a driving gear 125. The driving motor 124 is fixedly mounted on the base frame 121, and the driving gear 125 is mounted on the output shaft of the driving motor 124. The driving gear 125 is meshed with the belt rotating gear 116, thereby driving the drum 11 to rotate forward or reverse through the driving motor 124.

[0047] Furthermore, the material storage barrel structure includes a material dropping matching plate 14, which is fixed on the base frame 121. The material dropping matching plate 14 has an arc-shaped plate surface that matches the roller 11. A material dropping hole 141 is opened on the arc-shaped plate surface, which roughly corresponds to the size of the material dropping port 112, so that the food falling out of the material dropping gap can fall through the material dropping hole 141.

[0048] Furthermore, one end of the blanking matching plate 14 extends along the arc surface to a preset height, so as to prevent the food from being thrown out to the outer peripheral side of the drum 11 through the blanking gap after the blanking opening 112 of the drum rotates through the blanking hole 141 when the drum 11 rotates in the opposite direction (clockwise), that is, when the food can be dropped out from the blanking gap, so that one end of the blanking matching plate 14 is extended along the arc surface to a preset height, specifically, the height is designed according to the height of the food placed in the drum 11 or the height that can be reached by the rotation. It can be understood that when the food is put into the drum 11, the entire drum 11 is generally not filled.

[0049] In this way, when the storage barrel structure delivers food, the driving roller 11 rotates forward or reversely, so that the rotation of the roller 11 in one direction can break up the food under the action of its own weight, thereby avoiding the crushing of the food by the action of the stirring paddle, and the food can be delivered by rotating in the other direction, thereby greatly improving the integrity of the food.

[0050] like Figure 3 The material receiving and pushing structure includes a material pushing box 15, a material guide trough 16 connected to one end of the material pushing box 15, and a material pushing driving member 17. The material pushing box 15 is fixedly mounted on the material storage frame 1, and a material receiving port is provided on the top surface of one end of the material pushing box 15 relative to the material guide trough 16, so as to allow the food falling from the material drop hole 141 to enter the material pushing box 15. A material pushing rod is installed in the material pushing box 15, which is used to push the food entering the box to the material discharging end, and the food falls from the material discharging end to the material guide trough 16. It can be understood that the material pushing rod can be a screw rod, or a spiral blade is installed on a cylindrical rod. The material pushing driving member 17 is installed on one side of the material pushing box 15, and preferably adopts a motor to drive the material pushing rod to rotate.

[0051] The material taking mechanism 20 includes a spatial driving mechanism and a receiving hopper structure 21 installed on the spatial driving mechanism. The spatial driving mechanism is used to drive the receiving hopper structure 21 to move in space (such as up and down or left and right) to accommodate the food sent out by the material bin mechanism 10 and transfer the food to the material transfer mechanism 30. The spatial driving mechanism is relatively common in the industry and will not be elaborated here. The receiving hopper structure 21 includes the receiving hopper 211, the opening and closing driving member 212 and the guide assembly. The upper end of the receiving hopper 211 is open and fixed to accommodate the food that slides out of the guide groove 16, and the lower end can be opened or closed by the opening and closing driving member 212. Preferably, in this embodiment, the receiving hopper 211 adopts an inverted triangle structure, and one side wall thereof can swing under the action of the opening and closing driving member 212 to realize the opening and closing of the clamping port at the bottom of the receiving hopper 211. The opening and closing driving member 212 preferably adopts a cylinder. The guide assembly is used to adjust the micro-movement of the docking hopper 211.

[0052] See also Figure 7The guide assembly includes a fixed plate 213, a guide rack 214, a sliding plate 215 and a guide motor 216. The guide rack 214 is mounted on the base plate 213. The sliding plate 215 is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 213. The material receiving hopper 211 is mounted on the sliding plate 215. The guide motor 216 is mounted on the sliding plate 215. A gear is mounted on the output end of the guide motor 216 to mesh with the guide rack 214. The output shaft of the guide motor 216 rotates, driving the sliding plate 215 to slide, thereby driving the material receiving hopper 211 to slide.

[0053] See also Figure 8-Figure 10 The material transfer mechanism 30 is used to receive the food in the receiving hopper 211 and transfer it to the frying and boiling mechanism 40. The material transfer mechanism 30 is installed in the frying rack 2, and includes a horizontal push material drop structure and a horizontal shift material drop structure. The horizontal push material drop structure includes a horizontal push guide groove 31 and a horizontal push member 32. One end of the horizontal push guide groove 31 extends through the chamber wall to the storage rack 1 to accommodate the food in the receiving hopper 211. The horizontal push member 32 is used to push the food in the horizontal push guide groove 31. The horizontal push member 32 includes a push plate 321 and a telescopic rod 322. One end of the telescopic rod 322 is connected to the push plate 321. The push plate 321 is driven to move in the horizontal push guide groove 31 through the telescopic rod 322, so as to push the food from one end to the other end. Preferably, the telescopic rod 322 is a piston rod of a cylinder. The cylinder body is installed at one end of the horizontal push guide groove 31 located in the storage rack 1. The piston rod extends to push the food.

[0054] The transverse material discharge structure is installed below the horizontal push material drop structure, and is used to receive the food pushed down from the horizontal push material drop structure. The transverse material discharge structure includes a receiving box 33, a sliding door structure 34 and a transverse driving mechanism 35. A falling hole 331 is provided at one end of the bottom of the receiving box 33 for the food to fall out through the falling hole 331. The sliding door structure is installed in the receiving box 33, and is used to open or close the falling hole 331.

[0055] The sliding door structure 34 can adopt the structure of the guide seat as mentioned above, including a slide plate, a sliding motor, a rack and a gear. The slide plate can be slidably arranged in the receiving box 33, the sliding motor is installed on the slide plate, the rack is installed on the inner surface of the receiving box 33, and the gear is installed on the output shaft of the motor and meshes with the rack. The motor rotates to drive the slide plate to slide along the rack, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the drop hole 331.

[0056] Furthermore, a slide plate 332 is installed on the slide plate, and the slide plate 332 is inclined relative to the drop hole 331. The food pushed down from the flat push drop structure is stored on the slide plate 332. After the drop hole 331 is opened, the food will fall along the slide plate 332, making it easier for the food to fall fully.

[0057] The transverse driving mechanism 35 is used to drive the receiving box 33 to move transversely, so as to drive the receiving box 33 to move to the corresponding position above the frying and boiling mechanism 40. The transverse driving mechanism includes a guide beam 351, a transmission belt 352 installed on the guide beam 351, and a power motor 353 that drives the transmission belt 352 to move. The transmission belt 352 is fixedly connected to the receiving box 33, so that when the transmission belt 352 moves, it will drive the receiving box 33 to slide along the guide beam 351.

[0058] See also Fig.11 The frying and boiling mechanism 40 can be arranged in a plurality of pieces below the guide beam 351 along the extending direction thereof. The frying and boiling mechanism 40 includes a frying and boiling pot 41, a guide body 42, and a flip scoop 43. The frying and boiling pot 41 is used to place frying and boiling liquid, such as cooking oil, soup, etc. The guide body 42 is installed at one end of the frying and boiling pot 41, and is used to receive the food processed by the frying and boiling pot 41. The guide body 42 is provided with an outlet channel 421 for the food to be discharged. The flip scoop 43 can be flipped between the frying and boiling pot 41 and the guide body 42. The flip scoop 43 receives the food and puts it into the frying and boiling pot 41 to fry the food. After the food is fried, it is put out of the frying pot 41, and the fried food is poured into the guide body 42. Specifically, after the food is fried, the frying basket (i.e., the flipping scoop 43) is flipped over, and the fried food is put into a cup or bowl through a canning funnel (the guide body 42), and then sauces or soup bases are automatically added according to the customer's order.

[0059] In this embodiment, a plurality of frying pans 41 are arranged side by side, wherein the guide bodies 42 corresponding to two adjacent frying pans 41 share one.

[0060] See also Fig.12 The material receiving mechanism 50 is used to provide a receiving device and move the receiving device to the frying mechanism 40 to receive and deliver the fried food. In this embodiment, the material receiving mechanism 50 includes a cup separator and a cup and plate conveying mechanism 51. The cup separator is installed in the frying machine frame 2. The cup separator separates the receiving devices for receiving the materials one by one. There are many cup separators in the industry and they can be purchased from the industry. The structure thereof will not be described here. The cup body separated by the cup separator falls into the cup and plate conveying mechanism 51, and the cup body is conveyed to the bottom of the guide channel 421 of the guide body 42 of the frying mechanism 40 by the cup and plate conveying mechanism 51 to receive the food. Specifically, the round cups or square bowls are separated by the cup separator and placed on the clamping position of the cup-plate conveying mechanism 51. The cup-plate conveying mechanism 51 clamping the round cups or square bowls is quickly moved to the bottom of the stainless steel canning funnel (i.e., the guide body 42). At this time, the frying and boiling basket (the flip scoop 43) is flipped over, and the fried ingredients are canned into the round cups or square bowls on the cup-plate conveying mechanism 51 through the canning funnel. After canning, the cup-plate conveying mechanism 51 is moved to the bottom of the sauce or soup outlet, and the sauce or soup base is injected into the round cups or square bowls by the peristaltic pump.

[0061] The cup and plate conveying mechanism 51 is used to convey the cup body to the delivery mechanism, and the delivery mechanism delivers the cup body containing the food to the retrieval window. It can be understood that the cup and plate conveying mechanism 51 and the delivery mechanism can both use a linear drive module to cooperate with a cup body delivery structure installed on the linear drive module, which will not be described in this embodiment.

[0062] It can be understood that the frying and boiling machine can further include a seasoning adding mechanism, which includes a plurality of seasoning bottles, and a pump body installed corresponding to each seasoning bottle. By starting the pump body, the seasoning in the corresponding seasoning bottle can be sprayed into the cup body containing the food to season the food. The device is equipped with sauce tanks of various flavors and soup base insulation tanks of various flavors. For example, three kinds of sauces and one kind of soup base can be set. After frying, boiling, cupping and bowling are completed, the sauce and soup base can be automatically added through the adding mechanism (not shown).

[0063] It can be understood that the frying and boiling machine also includes a control system and a purchase and selection interface. The control system controls the transportation and processing of the ingredients to achieve intelligent control of the frying and boiling machine, and the purchase and selection interface is for customers to select and purchase.

[0064] It is understandable that the food material is preferably French fries, and different French fries, such as straight strips, round slices, granules, etc., can be placed in a plurality of bin mechanisms 10. If it is only used to provide French fries, it can be used as a French fry machine of multiple categories.

[0065] In summary, the frying and boiling machine provided by the present invention can realize intelligent frying and boiling of ingredients, and automatically process and serve meals, thereby meeting the processing needs of various ingredients, improving the efficiency of serving meals, reducing the labor intensity of manual labor, reducing operating costs, and improving catering hygiene conditions; the frying and boiling machine has a wide range of applications and can be used in various public places and various restaurants.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention.
