Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking robot technology, and more particularly to an automated cooking robot. Background Technology

[0002] A stir-fry machine is a kitchen device that uses mechanical structures, sensors, and computer programs to partially or completely simulate the "stir-frying" cooking action of a human chef, and automatically controls the heat, time, and stirring process to achieve automated cooking of dishes.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN202411632830.6 discloses an automated cooking robot. While this application employs multiple protective measures to ensure safety during the cooking process—including a protective shield to effectively prevent oil splattering and injury to the operator, and a protective shield to protect the robotic arm from damage and extend its lifespan—its practical application faces challenges. These challenges arise because of the varying weight and size of the ingredients being cooked. Some ingredients, such as ribs and chunks of meat, are heavy and bulky, while others are smaller. Small, lightweight ingredients, such as potatoes and peas, present challenges when stir-frying various foods. Larger pieces of meat heat up slowly, potentially resulting in the outside being overcooked or even burnt while the inside remains uncooked, posing a food safety hazard (e.g., undercooked chicken). Smaller vegetables, being light, easily sink to the bottom of the pan during stir-frying. If the pan is too hot or not properly moistened, they quickly stick, causing burning and sticking, making cleaning difficult. Furthermore, most dishes are not cooked as individual ingredients but rather a mixture of meat and vegetables. Existing cooking devices cannot effectively move the meat within the food, making stir-frying difficult and resulting in lower-quality dishes.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide an automated cooking robot is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated cooking robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated cooking robot, including a cooking machine body and a cooking component. An electrical control assembly is provided on the top left side of the cooking machine body, a food feeding mechanism is provided on the top of the electrical control assembly, a flipping arm mechanism is provided on the top of the cooking machine body at the rear right side of the electrical control assembly, a wok is provided on the top of the cooking machine body at the middle right side of the electrical control assembly, and a connecting box is fixedly connected to the bottom front end of the flipping arm mechanism. A rotating outer shell is rotatably connected to the bottom of the connecting box.

[0007] The stir-frying component includes: The drive motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting box. The drive motor has an output shaft that passes through the connecting box and extends to the bottom of the connecting box, where it is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating housing. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the rotating housing. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the rotating shaft. A rotating block is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the rotating shaft. A connecting frame is rotatably connected to the middle of the rotating block. A flipping spatula is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting frame away from the connecting rod. When the drive motor is working, it can drive the lower flipping spatula to stir-fry the ingredients in the wok.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a drive assembly, which consists of an electric telescopic rod, a lifting ring plate, a lifting frame, a rotating block, a connecting steel cable, a beam tube seat, and a positioning tube seat.

[0009] The electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating housing and located on the left and right sides of the connecting box. The electric telescopic rod has a telescopic end. The lifting ring plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod. The lifting frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting ring plate. The second rotating block is rotatably connected to the middle of the lifting frame. The connecting steel cable is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating block. The beam tube seat is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the connecting rod. The positioning tube seat is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the front and back of the connecting frame. The second rotating block can rotate in the middle of the lifting frame.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a deformation assembly, which consists of a fixed arc plate, a telescopic component, a movable arc plate, elastic adaptive stirring teeth, a hemispherical contact, a guide tube seat, a spring, and a telescopic head.

[0011] The fixed arc plate is fixedly connected to the top of the front and back of the shovel. The telescopic component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed arc plate. The movable arc plate is located at the bottom of the telescopic component. The elastic adaptive stirring tooth is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable arc plate. The hemispherical contact is fixedly connected to the side of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth near the shovel. The guide tube seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and back of the shovel. The spring is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic component. The telescopic head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring.

[0012] Furthermore, a rectangular groove is provided in the middle of the flipper, and the outer side of the flipper contacts the inner wall of the bottom of the wok, allowing the flipper to move on the inner wall of the bottom of the wok.

[0013] Furthermore, a conductive slip ring is provided on the outside of the connecting box at the bottom of the wok, and the electric telescopic rod is connected to the conductive slip ring to provide power to the electric telescopic rod.

[0014] Furthermore, a partition is fixedly connected to the middle of the beam tube seat, and the end of the connecting steel cable away from the rotating block passes through the interior of the beam tube seat, the middle of the positioning tube seat, and the middle of the fixed arc plate in sequence, and extends to the lower side of the fixed arc plate and is fixedly connected to the top of the moving arc plate. The connecting steel cable can apply tension to the moving arc plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod penetrates the inner wall of the top of the rotating housing and extends into the interior of the rotating housing to be fixedly connected to the top of the lifting ring plate. A lifting groove is provided in the middle of the lifting ring plate. The lifting ring plate moves up and down on the outside of the rotating shaft through the lifting groove. When the electric telescopic rod is working, it can control the lifting ring plate to move up and down on the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth penetrates the middle of the guide tube seat and extends to the lower side of the guide tube seat. An inclined surface is provided inside the guide tube seat. When the elastic adaptive stirring tooth moves downward inside the guide tube seat, the inclined surface inside the guide tube seat can guide the direction of movement of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth, so that the elastic adaptive stirring tooth can expand outward along the inclined surface inside the guide tube seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom end of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth is provided with a spherical surface, which can reduce scratches on the inner wall of the bottom of the wok and reduce friction when the elastic adaptive stirring tooth moves.

[0018] Furthermore, the bottom of the telescopic head is fixedly connected to the top of the movable arc plate. The spring is initially in a compressed state. The spring can provide a force for the movable arc plate to move through the telescopic head. The connecting steel cable is located inside the spring. The bottom end of the connecting steel cable passes through the top of the telescopic component and the inside of the spring and is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic head. The telescopic head is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic component. The telescopic head can protrude from the bottom of the telescopic component.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. In this invention, when dealing with large, heavy food ingredients, the elastic adaptive stirring teeth expand downward and transform into a flexible claw-like structure. When encountering resistance, they bend and deform, distributing the force evenly to achieve a "prying" effect. This effectively turns over large food ingredients while reducing impact damage and stirring dead corners. 2. In this invention, when dealing with small, delicate ingredients, the elastic adaptive stirring teeth are controlled to retract upwards, so that the spatula presents a streamlined and smooth surface. This allows the ingredients to glide easily over the food, avoiding tangling, snagging, or crushing, and effectively maintaining the shape of vegetables and the integrity of tofu. 3. In this invention, when stir-frying meat and vegetables together, the rectangular groove design on the spatula provides a drainage channel for the viscous sauce when the stirring teeth expand, promoting the exchange of heat and flavor between the bottom and top layers of sauce, making the flavor more even, and allowing the meat to come into even contact with the sauce. 4. In this invention, when stir-frying vegetables with high water content, the traditional solid spatula may form a "sealing effect" between the spatula surface and the bottom of the pan when rotating at high speed, trapping the broth and causing small food particles to "boil" in it. By creating rectangular grooves on the spatula, this sealing effect is broken, providing a channel for steam and water evaporation, which helps to quickly dry out excess water and give the dish a "dry and fragrant" stir-fry texture rather than a "watery" stew texture, thus improving the quality of stir-frying. 5. The present invention, by setting hemispherical contact points on the lower side of the elastic adaptive stirring teeth, can stir small granular ingredients that have settled at the bottom of the pot during stir-frying, thus preventing them from settling and burning. 6. In this invention, when cleaning is required, the elastic adaptive stirring teeth are controlled to unfold, so that the hemispherical contact points at the bottom can better fit the curved bottom of the wok and scrape off the adhering residue. The cleaning effect is better than that of a rigid spatula. By setting a rectangular groove, it is easy to rinse and scrub with water, which meets hygiene requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Example 1 refer to Figures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automated cooking robot, including a cooking machine body 1 and a cooking component 8.

[0025] Among them, the stir-fry component 8 includes: The drive motor 801 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting box 6. The drive motor 801 has an output shaft that passes through the connecting box 6 and extends to the bottom of the connecting box 6 and is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating housing 7. The rotating housing 7 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the rotating housing 7. The bottom of the outer side of the rotating shaft 802 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 803. The end of the connecting rod 803 away from the rotating shaft 802 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 804. The middle of the rotating block 804 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 805. The side of the connecting frame 805 away from the connecting rod 803 is fixedly connected to the flipping spatula 806.

[0026] A rectangular groove is provided in the middle of the flipper 806, and the outer side of the flipper 806 contacts the inner wall of the bottom of the wok 5, so that the flipper 806 can move on the inner wall of the bottom of the wok 5.

[0027] Example 2 refer to Figures 4-7 Based on Embodiment 1, the present invention provides a technical solution that further includes a drive assembly 9, which consists of an electric telescopic rod 901, a lifting ring plate 902, a lifting frame 903, a rotating block 904, a connecting steel cable 905, a beam tube seat 906, and a positioning tube seat 907.

[0028] The electric telescopic rod 901 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating housing 7 and located on the left and right sides of the connecting box 6. The electric telescopic rod 901 has a telescopic end. The lifting ring plate 902 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 901. The lifting frame 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting ring plate 902. The second rotating block 904 is rotatably connected to the middle of the lifting frame 903. The connecting steel cable 905 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating block 904. The beam tube seat 906 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer side of the connecting rod 803. The positioning tube seat 907 is fixedly connected to the middle of the front and back tops of the connecting frame 805. The second rotating block 904 can rotate in the middle of the lifting frame 903.

[0029] A conductive slip ring is provided on the bottom of the wok 5 outside the connecting box 6. The electric telescopic rod 901 is connected to the conductive slip ring, which can supply power to the electric telescopic rod 901.

[0030] A partition is fixedly connected to the middle of the beam tube seat 906. The end of the connecting steel cable 905 away from the rotating block 904 passes through the interior of the beam tube seat 906, the middle of the positioning tube seat 907, and the middle of the fixed arc plate 101, and extends to the lower side of the fixed arc plate 101 and is fixedly connected to the top of the movable arc plate 103. The connecting steel cable 905 can apply tension to the movable arc plate 103.

[0031] The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 901 passes through the top inner wall of the rotating housing 7 and extends into the interior of the rotating housing 7, where it is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting ring plate 902. The lifting ring plate 902 has a lifting groove in the middle, and the lifting ring plate 902 moves up and down outside the rotating shaft 802 through the lifting groove. When the electric telescopic rod 901 is working, it can control the lifting ring plate 902 to move up and down outside the rotating shaft 802.

[0032] Example 3 refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 Based on Embodiment 2, the present invention provides a technical solution that further includes a deformable component 10, which is composed of a fixed arc plate 101, a telescopic component 102, a movable arc plate 103, an elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104, a hemispherical contact 105, a guide tube seat 106, a spring 107, and a telescopic head 108.

[0033] The fixed arc plate 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the front and back sides of the tilting shovel 806. The telescopic component 102 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed arc plate 101. The movable arc plate 103 is located at the bottom of the telescopic component 102. The elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable arc plate 103. The hemispherical contact 105 is fixedly connected to the side of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 near the tilting shovel 806. The guide tube seat 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front and back sides of the tilting shovel 806. The spring 107 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic component 102. The telescopic head 108 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring 107.

[0034] The bottom of the telescopic head 108 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable arc plate 103. The spring 107 is initially in a compressed state. The spring 107 can provide a force for the movable arc plate 103 to move through the telescopic head 108. The connecting steel cable 905 is located inside the spring 107. The bottom end of the connecting steel cable 905 passes through the top of the telescopic member 102 and the inside of the spring 107 and is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic head 108. The telescopic head 108 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the telescopic member 102. The telescopic head 108 can protrude from the bottom of the telescopic member 102.

[0035] The bottom of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 penetrates the middle of the guide tube seat 106 and extends to the lower side of the guide tube seat 106. An inclined surface is provided inside the guide tube seat 106. When the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 moves downward inside the guide tube seat 106, the inclined surface inside the guide tube seat 106 can guide the direction of movement of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104, so that the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 can expand outward along the inclined surface inside the guide tube seat 106.

[0036] The bottom end of the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 is provided with a spherical surface, which can reduce the scratches on the inner wall of the bottom of the wok 5 and reduce the friction when the elastic adaptive stirring tooth 104 moves.

[0037] When the device is processing food, it controls the ingredients in the food feeding mechanism 3 to be poured into the wok 5 in sequence as needed. The flipping arm mechanism 4 can rotate to the middle of the wok 5. Then, it controls the drive motor 801 in the connecting box 6 to work. When the drive motor 801 is working, it drives the rotating shaft 802, connecting rod 803, rotating block 804, connecting frame 805 and flipping spatula 806 to flip the food in the wok 5. At the same time, the wok 5 heats the food inside, so that the device has the function of automatic cooking.

[0038] When processing large and heavy meat ingredients, such as ribs or chicken pieces, and when the meat needs to be stir-fried in the wok 5, the electric telescopic rod 901 is activated. This causes the electric telescopic rod 901 to lower the lifting ring plate 902, preventing the lifting frame 903 on the lifting ring plate 902 from effectively pulling the connecting steel cable 905 at the bottom of the rotating block 804. This loosens the connecting steel cable 905, and simultaneously, the tension in the moving arc plate 103 at the other end of the connecting steel cable 905 disappears. At this time, the spring 107 inside the telescopic component 102 recovers its elasticity and can move downward through the telescopic head 108 within the telescopic component 102, simultaneously pushing the moving arc plate 103 downward outside the connecting frame 805. This allows the elastically adaptive stirring teeth 104 to move along the guide when the moving arc plate 103 moves downward. The device moves downwards towards the center of the tube seat 106, allowing the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 to adapt and expand outwards when they contact the bottom arc surface of the wok 5, increasing the volume at the flipper 806. By setting the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104, when the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 encounter heavy and large ingredients (such as ribs), the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 will bend and deform, distributing the force more evenly, achieving "prying" rather than "hard impact", effectively reducing dead corners. When encountering light and small ingredients (such as peas), the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 and the hemispherical contact point 105 gently sweep over, which can turn over some light and small ingredients at the bottom of the wok 5 to avoid crushing, ensuring the integrity of the ingredients. The device can be used for stir-frying meat ingredients.

[0039] When processing small, lightweight vegetables, the electric telescopic rod 901 is controlled to rise, causing the lifting ring plate 902 to ascend. As the lifting ring plate 902 rises, the lifting frame 903 at the bottom of the lifting ring plate 902 pulls the rotating block 904 and the connecting steel cable 905 upwards, causing the connecting steel cable 905 to be pulled upwards within the beam tube seat 906, thus tautning the connecting steel cable 905. At this time, the telescopic head 108 on the other side of the connecting steel cable 905 is under force, and simultaneously, the telescopic head 108 compresses the spring 107. Simultaneously, the moving arc plate 103 moves synchronously below the telescopic head 108, enabling the moving arc plate 103 to move in a flipping motion at the 806. The outer side rises, allowing the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 at the bottom of the moving arc plate 103 to move upward within the guide tube seat 106 on the outside of the flipper 806. This causes the guide tube seat 106 to fit against the outside of the flipper 806, reducing the volume at the flipper 806 and giving the flipper 806 a streamlined surface. The smooth surface can easily pass through fluffy leafy vegetables or delicate tofu without easily "snagging" or "entangled" the ingredients like brush bristles. This effectively avoids the problem of turning leafy vegetables into a tangled mess or breaking tofu. The streamlined shape has much less fluid resistance when moving in the sauce than the brush bristle structure, resulting in smoother operation and lower energy consumption. This allows the device to be used for stir-frying small and lightweight vegetables.

[0040] By creating rectangular grooves on the spatula 806, when the spatula 806 is used to turn meat in the wok 5, the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 expand outside the spatula 806, enabling the meat to be turned. The rectangular grooves provide a large "pressure relief channel" for viscous sauces, allowing the sauce and some liquid to flow through the grooves instead of being "pushed" by the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104, promoting the exchange of sauce between the bottom and top of the wok, resulting in a more even distribution of heat and flavor. When stir-frying vegetables, the moving arc plate 103... The elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 partially block the rectangular groove, making it form a grid-like shape that allows air to flow from both sides of the spatula 806. In contrast, when a traditional solid spatula rotates at high speed, it may create a "closed effect" between the spatula surface and the bottom of the pot, trapping the broth and causing small food particles to "boil" in it. The rectangular groove breaks this closure, providing a channel for steam and moisture evaporation, which helps to quickly dry out excess water and give the dish a "dry and fragrant" stir-fry texture rather than a "watery" stew texture.

[0041] When the inside of the wok 5 needs to be cleaned, the electric telescopic rod 901 is controlled to extend the elastic adaptive stirring teeth 104 on the outside of the flipper 806. This better adapts to the unevenness and curvature of the wok bottom, ensuring that a part of the structure is always in contact with the bottom of the wok, scraping off the adhering food. The cleaning effect on the bottom of the wok is far superior to that of a rigid spatula. The rectangular groove set on the flipper 806 has a wide opening that allows water to flow through without obstruction. Every corner can also be easily cleaned with a brush, meeting the basic requirements of kitchen equipment.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
