Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cooking equipment, specifically relating to a cooking equipment food dispensing auxiliary mechanism and method that can automatically sense the tray. Background Technology
[0002] In order to replace manual labor in the cooking of dishes, most existing automatic cooking equipment focuses on the cooking process, while paying less attention to the dish serving process. However, the quality of the dish serving process directly affects the efficiency and convenience of using automatic cooking equipment.
[0003] Problems with existing technology:
[0004] 1. Most existing cooking equipment's food dispensing auxiliary mechanisms lack measures to detect the food trays. When operators forget to place the trays, cooked food is poured directly into the cooking equipment, resulting in food waste and contamination inside the equipment.
[0005] 2. The existing cooking equipment's food dispensing auxiliary mechanism has a relatively simple structure, resulting in a limited function. The food tray is usually placed directly on the tray support drawer, which leads to poor stability of the food tray when receiving food falling from the cooking pot. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooking equipment dispensing auxiliary mechanism and method that can automatically sense the tray, which can solve the problem that most existing cooking equipment dispensing auxiliary mechanisms do not have measures to detect the food tray. When the operator forgets to place the tray, the cooked food will be poured directly into the inside of the cooking equipment, resulting in food waste and contamination inside the cooking equipment.
[0007] The specific technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0008] An automatic tray-sensing cooking device food dispensing auxiliary mechanism and method are disclosed, comprising a cooking device housing and a cooking pot body. The cooking pot body is disposed inside the cooking device housing via rotating bearings at both its left and right ends. Support slots are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the interior of the cooking device housing, and the two support slots are slidably connected to the left and right ends of the tray support drawer, respectively. A tray pushing component is disposed on the lower side of the interior of the tray support drawer, and a tray fixing component is disposed at the rear end of the tray support drawer. The tray fixing component engages with a second toothed plate. A proximity limit switch is disposed at the bottom of the interior of the cooking device housing, and a first toothed plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the interior of the cooking device housing, and the first toothed plate corresponds to the tray pushing component.
[0009] The cooking device housing has multiple liquid seasoning storage compartments on the left side inside. The rear end of the toothed plate is fixedly connected to the rear side inside the cooking device housing. The tray support drawer structure has an internal hollow form and is supported by round steel. The front end of the cooking device housing is equipped with a warning light body.
[0010] The pallet fixing assembly includes an L-shaped plate II, the front end of which is fixedly connected to the rear end of the pallet support drawer. A rotating rod II is movably connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate II, and a worm gear II is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod II. The worm gear II meshes with a worm.
[0011] Two fixed plates three are movably connected to the worm gear two. The front ends of the two fixed plates three are fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer. A gear two is fixedly connected to the lower end of the worm gear two. The gear two meshes with the gear plate two. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod two.
[0012] The rear end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to two hinge shafts II. The two hinge shafts II are movably connected to one end of two push-pull rods respectively. The other end of each of the two push-pull rods is movably connected to a hinge shaft I. The front end of each of the two hinge shafts I is fixedly connected to a sliding connecting plate.
[0013] The front ends of both sliding connecting plates are fixedly connected to tray clamps. Both sliding connecting plates are slidably connected to four L-shaped rods through two limiting holes opened inside them. The front ends of the four L-shaped rods are fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer.
[0014] The four L-shaped rods are divided into two groups, and their relatively far ends are respectively fixedly connected to two fixing plates. The front ends of the two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer.
[0015] The pallet push assembly includes two L-shaped support plates. The front and rear ends of the two L-shaped support plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the inside of the pallet support drawer, respectively. Two L-shaped plates are fixedly connected to the relatively close ends of the two L-shaped support plates. The upper ends of the four L-shaped plates are movably connected to the front and rear sides of two rotating rods, respectively. Two cams are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods. The upper ends of the four cams overlap with the lower end of the push plate. Two L-shaped limiting plates are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower end of the push plate.
[0016] Each of the four L-shaped limiting plates is slidably connected to the four limiting rods through limiting holes opened inside their lower ends. Each of the four limiting rods is divided into two groups, and their lower ends are fixedly connected to two L-shaped support plates respectively. The rear ends of each of the two rotating rods are fixedly connected to worm gears, and each of the two worm gears meshes with a worm. The left and right ends of the worm are movably connected to fixed plates. The front ends of the two fixed plates are fixedly connected to the two rear L-shaped plates respectively. A gear is fixedly connected to the middle smooth rod position of the worm, and the gear corresponds to the gear plate.
[0017] A method for using a food dispensing auxiliary mechanism in a cooking device with an automatic sensor tray includes the following steps:
[0018] a1. During use, after the food in the cooking pot is cooked, the proximity limit switch can automatically sense whether there is a serving tray above the tray support drawer. When the absence of the serving tray is detected, the cooking pot will always keep its opening facing upwards and will not flip over, thus preventing food waste. During this process, the warning light will flash continuously to remind the operator to put in the serving tray in time. At this time, the operator can pull the tray support drawer out from the cooking device shell and put in the serving tray. After the serving tray is put in, the operator pushes the tray support drawer to move into the cooking device shell. When the proximity limit switch senses the presence of the serving tray, it will rotate the cooking pot through the rotating bearing to flip it over, thereby pouring the cooked food into the serving tray.
[0019] a2. During the process of pushing the tray support drawer into the cooking device's outer shell, the meshing of the toothed plate two and gear two, along with the cooperation of the worm gear two, worm wheel two, rotating rod two, rotating plate, hinge shaft one, hinge shaft two, and push-pull rod, can drive the two sliding connecting plates to move closer together, thereby driving the two tray clamping plates to move closer together. This achieves the clamping and fixing effect on the serving tray placed above the tray support drawer, ensuring the stability of the serving tray when receiving food falling from the cooking pot. When the tray support drawer is pulled out from the cooking device's outer shell, the meshing of the toothed plate one and gear one, along with the cooperation of the worm gear one and worm wheel one, can drive the two rotating rods one to rotate relative to each other. Through the relative rotation of the two rotating rods one, under the action of the cam, the push plate can be driven to move upward a certain distance, thereby pushing the serving tray upward a certain distance, making it easier for the operator to remove the serving tray from the tray support drawer.
[0020] The technical effects achieved by this invention are as follows:
[0021] 1. This invention uses a proximity limit switch to automatically sense the serving tray on the tray support drawer after the food inside the cooking pot has been cooked. When the serving tray is not detected, the cooking pot will always remain in an upward-facing position and will not tip over, causing the food to fall into the cooking device's outer shell and resulting in food waste. During this process, the warning light will continuously flash to remind the operator to place the serving tray in time. When the presence of the serving tray is sensed above the tray support drawer, the proximity limit switch will cause the cooking pot to tip over through the support bearing, thereby pouring the cooked food into the serving tray.
[0022] 2. This invention, through the interaction of the toothed plate, gear, worm gear, worm wheel, and rotating rod, automatically drives the rotating plate to rotate during the process of pushing the tray support drawer into the cooking device's outer shell. The rotation of the rotating plate, in conjunction with the hinge shaft, hinge shaft, push-pull plate, sliding connecting plate, and L-shaped rod, causes the two tray clamps to move closer together, automatically clamping and fixing the food tray placed on the tray support drawer. This ensures the stability of the food tray when receiving food falling from the cooking pot. Furthermore, the interaction of the toothed plate, gear, worm gear, and worm wheel allows the two rotating rods to rotate relative to each other during the process of pulling the tray support drawer out of the cooking device's outer shell. This relative rotation of the two rotating rods, under the action of the cam, causes the push plate to move upwards, thereby pushing the food tray placed above the tray support drawer upwards a certain distance, making it convenient for the operator to remove the food tray from the tray support drawer.

[0031] To make the objectives and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be specifically described below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of the invention and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by the invention.
[0032] like Figure 1-6As shown, a cooking device with an automatic tray-sensing auxiliary mechanism and method for dispensing food includes a cooking device housing 1 and a cooking pot body 7. The cooking pot body 7 is located inside the cooking device housing 1 via rotating bearings 8 at both its left and right ends. Support slots 3 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the interior of the cooking device housing 1. The two support slots 3 are slidably connected to the left and right ends of a tray support drawer 2, respectively. A tray pushing component 5 is provided on the lower side of the interior of the tray support drawer 2, and a tray fixing component 6 is provided at the rear end of the tray support drawer 2. The tray fixing component 6 engages with a toothed plate 11. A proximity limit switch 9 is installed at the bottom inside the outer casing 1. This switch automatically senses whether a serving tray is present on the tray support drawer 2 after cooking. When no serving tray is detected, the cooking pot 7 will remain upright and will not tip over. Conversely, when the serving tray is detected, the rotating bearing 8 will cause the cooking pot 7 to tip over, allowing the cooked food to be poured into the serving tray. A toothed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom inside the outer casing 1, and the toothed plate 10 is connected to the tray push assembly 5. Correspondingly, multiple liquid seasoning storage compartments 4 are provided inside the left side of the cooking device housing 1. The rear end of the toothed plate 11 is fixedly connected to the rear side inside the cooking device housing 1. The tray support drawer 2 has an internal hollow structure and is supported by round steel. The front end of the cooking device housing 1 is provided with a warning light body 12. The set support slot 3 can support the tray support drawer 2, making it convenient for the operator to pull the tray support drawer 2 to move it in the front and back directions. Through the cooperation between the set tray fixing component 6 and the toothed plate 11, the tray support drawer can be automatically adjusted. The fixed effect of the serving tray on drawer 2 ensures the stability of the serving tray during the process of receiving food. Through the cooperation between the tray push component 5 and the toothed plate 10, the serving tray placed on it can be automatically pushed upward a certain distance when the tray support drawer 2 is pulled out from the outer shell 1 of the cooking device, so that the operator can easily remove the serving tray from the tray support drawer 2. The liquid seasoning storage compartment 4 can store the liquid seasonings required during the cooking process. The warning light body 12 can remind the operator to put the serving tray in time.
[0033] Furthermore, the tray fixing assembly 6 includes an L-shaped plate 610, the front end of which is fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer 2. A rotating rod 69 is movably connected to the upper end of the L-shaped plate 610. A worm gear 611 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating rod 69, meshing with a worm 68. Two fixing plates 66 are movably connected to the worm 68, the front ends of which are fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer 2. A gear 614 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the worm 68, meshing with a gear plate 11. A rotating plate 67 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating rod 69. Two hinge shafts 613 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating plate 67. Each hinge shaft 613 is movably connected to one end of a push-pull rod 65. The other end of each push-pull rod 65 is movably connected to a hinge shaft 612. A sliding connecting plate 63 is fixedly connected to the front end of each sliding connecting plate 63. A tray clamping plate 62 is fixedly connected to the front end of each sliding connecting plate 63. Each sliding connecting plate 63 is slidably connected to four L-shaped rods 64 through two internal limiting holes. The front ends of each of the four L-shaped rods 64 are fixedly connected to the rear end of the tray support drawer 2. The four L-shaped rods 64 are divided into two groups, which are relatively far apart. The ends are respectively fixedly connected to two fixed plates 61. The front ends of the two fixed plates 61 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the tray support drawer 2. Through the cooperation between the toothed plate 11, gear 614, worm gear 68, worm wheel 611 and rotating rod 69, the rotating plate 67 can be automatically rotated when the tray support drawer 2 is pushed into the cooking device housing 1. The rotation of the rotating plate 67, through the cooperation between the hinge shaft 612, hinge shaft 613 and push-pull rod 65, can drive the two sliding connecting plates 63 to move closer to each other, thereby automatically achieving the effect of moving the tray support drawer 2. The fixed effect of the food tray above drawer 2 ensures the stability of the food tray when receiving food poured from inside the cooking pot 7. Correspondingly, when the tray support drawer 2 is pulled out from inside the cooking device shell 1, the two tray clamps 62 can be driven away from each other by the cooperation of the toothed plate 11, gear 614, worm gear 68, worm wheel 611, rotating rod 69, hinge shaft 612, hinge shaft 613 and push-pull rod 65, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent removal of food trays. The L-shaped rod 64 can limit the movement direction of the sliding connecting plate 63.
[0034] Furthermore, the pallet push assembly 5 includes two L-shaped support plates 51. The front and rear ends of the two L-shaped support plates 51 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the interior of the pallet support drawer 2, respectively. Two L-shaped plates 57 are fixedly connected to the relatively close ends of the two L-shaped support plates 51. The upper ends of the four L-shaped plates 57 are movably connected to the front and rear sides of the two rotating rods 56, respectively. Two cams 54 are fixedly connected to the two rotating rods 56, and the upper ends of the four cams 54 overlap with the lower end of the push plate 55. Two L-shaped limiting plates 53 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the lower end of the push plate 55. The four L-shaped limiting plates 53 are slidably connected to the four limiting rods 52 through limiting holes opened inside their lower ends. The four limiting rods 52 are divided into two groups, and their lower ends are fixedly connected to the two L-shaped support plates 51, respectively. Worm gears 510 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the two rotating rods 56, and the two worm gears 510 mesh with worms 59. The left and right ends of the worms 59 are movable. The device is connected to two fixed plates 58, the front ends of which are fixedly connected to two L-shaped plates 57 on the rear side. A gear 511 is fixedly connected to the middle bare rod of the worm gear 59, and the gear 511 corresponds to the toothed plate 10. When the tray support drawer 2 is pulled out from the inside of the cooking device housing 1, the toothed plate 10 and the gear 511 mesh, and with the cooperation of the worm gear 59, the two rotating rods 56 can be driven to rotate relative to each other. Through the rotation of the two rotating rods 56, the cam 54 can push the push plate 55 to move upward a certain distance. At this time, the toothed plate 10 and the gear 511 are no longer meshed, and the food tray can be pushed upward a certain distance, so that the operator can easily remove the food tray from the tray support drawer 2. The interaction between the limiting rod 52 and the L-shaped limiting plate 53 can limit the movement direction of the push plate 55.
[0035] The method of using this invention is as follows:
[0036] a1. During the use of this device, after the food in the cooking pot 7 is cooked, the proximity limit switch 9 can automatically sense whether there is a serving tray above the tray support drawer 2. When the serving tray is not sensed, the cooking pot 7 will always keep the pot opening facing upwards and will not flip over, thus avoiding food waste. During this process, the warning light body 12 will flash continuously to remind the operator to put in the serving tray in time. At this time, the operator can pull the tray support drawer 2 out from the cooking device shell 1 and put in the serving tray. After the serving tray is put in, the operator pushes the tray support drawer 2 to move into the cooking device shell 1. At this time, when the proximity limit switch 9 senses the presence of the serving tray, it will rotate the cooking pot 7 through the rotating bearing 8 to flip it over, thereby pouring the cooked food into the serving tray.
[0037] a2. During the process of pushing the tray support drawer 2 into the cooking appliance housing 1, the meshing of the toothed plate 11 and the gear 614, along with the cooperation of the worm gear 68, worm wheel 611, rotating rod 69, rotating plate 67, hinge shaft 612, hinge shaft 613, and push-pull rod 65, can drive the two sliding connecting plates 63 to move closer together, thereby driving the two tray clamping plates 62 to move closer together. This achieves the clamping and fixing effect on the serving tray placed above the tray support drawer 2, ensuring that the serving tray can receive food from the cooking pot. The stability of the food falling inside the body 7 is ensured when the tray support drawer 2 is pulled out from the cooking device housing 1. With the meshing of the toothed plate 10 and gear 511, and the cooperation of the worm gear 59 and worm wheel 510, the two rotating rods 56 can rotate relative to each other. The relative rotation of the two rotating rods 56, under the action of the cam 54, can drive the push plate 55 to move upward a certain distance, thereby pushing the food tray upward a certain distance, so that the operator can easily remove the food tray from the tray support drawer 2.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this invention are implemented according to conventional methods in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
