Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a cooking equipment for food cooking and processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-accelerating pace of life in today's society, food preparation is shifting from manual to automated processing, leading to the emergence of numerous automated food cooking and processing devices. For example, Patent Document 1 (CN112716266A) discloses an intelligent control automatic stir-fry machine. This machine features a stirring component and a seasoning component on the pot lid. The stirring component stirs the food, while the seasoning component adds seasonings to the food inside the pot. However, the stirring component is located to the side of the seasoning component, which may cause the seasonings in the seasoning component to stick to the stirring component when added to the pot. Furthermore, because the seasoning component is a box-like structure, the seasonings inside may clump together after being added to the pot. Additionally, since the seasonings are all added to one location... The addition of seasonings can lead to uneven distribution in the dish, affecting its texture. Most importantly, the order and timing of adding seasonings are crucial in cooking. For example, salt is typically added after the vegetables are just cooked through, while chicken bouillon is added just before the dish is finished cooking. The different timing and order of seasoning addition significantly impact the color and flavor of the dish. For instance, patent document 2 (CN110448182B) discloses a fully functional cooking robot ingredient addition device, which, through the setting of a… A lifting and dispersing mechanism loads and dispenses seasonings. A motor-driven stirring mechanism within this mechanism stirs the seasonings to prevent clumping. Furthermore, after the friction plates contact the friction wheel, the raw material trough tilts, dispensing the seasonings into the dish. While this seasoning dispensing device avoids clumping, it suffers from uneven seasoning distribution because all seasonings are dispensed from the same location. It also cannot control the order in which seasonings are dispensed. Finally, as in patent document 3(C)... N112120558A discloses a seasoning feeding device for an intelligent integrated cooking machine. The liquid seasoning is sprayed into the pot through the liquid outlet channel. Since the nozzle is in a rotating state, the liquid seasoning can be evenly dispersed during the spraying into the pot, which makes it easier for the liquid seasoning to adhere evenly to the surface of the food inside the pot. Although it increases the contact area between the liquid seasoning and the food, and makes it easier for the evenly dispersed liquid seasoning to mix quickly and evenly with the food, it cannot achieve the purpose of controlling the order of adding each seasoning.

[0003] In summary, existing technologies for food cooking and processing equipment address issues like seasoning clumping and uneven spraying before adding seasonings, but they don't consider the order in which seasonings are added. Most equipment mixes seasonings together and then adds them all at once, resulting in a less than ideal flavor. Even equipment that allows for selection of the seasoning order still uses separate power drives to add seasonings to the dish, complicating the seasoning structure and preventing even distribution. Furthermore, the addition of seasonings isn't synchronized with the stirring device to accelerate absorption. Therefore, this application provides a food cooking and processing equipment that evenly adds seasonings to the dish, allows for selection of the seasoning order, uses a single drive source for seasoning addition, is easy to clean, reusable, prevents seasonings from adhering to the stirring mechanism, and simultaneously stirs the ingredients during addition, further facilitating even and rapid absorption by the dish. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Preferably, the upper support plate is provided with a plurality of upper magnetic blocks and the lower support plate is provided with a plurality of lower magnetic blocks, and the upper magnetic blocks and lower magnetic blocks between two adjacent seasoning boxes can attract each other.

[0009] Preferably, the upper cylinder includes an upper fixed cylinder and a lower rotating cylinder. The upper fixed cylinder is fixedly mounted on the pot lid, and the lower rotating cylinder is rotatably mounted at the lower end of the upper fixed cylinder. The seasoning spray hole is located on the lower rotating cylinder.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the upper fixed cylinder is provided with a lower ring groove, and the upper end of the lower rotating cylinder is provided with an upper ring rib.

A sealing sleeve is provided in the through hole, and the lower screw passes through the sealing sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, the upper cylinder of the seasoning dispensing component is detachably fixed to the pot lid via a threaded connection or snap-fit.

[0013] Preferably, the dimensions of the upper support plate and the lower support plate are the same as the inner diameter of the main housing. When the seasoning spray outlet is not opposite to the seasoning spray hole, the seasoning spray outlet is closed because the side deformation membrane is attached to the main housing. The seasoning box under pressure will not deform, but will only slide relative to the main housing as the telescopic cylinder extends.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1) The food cooking and processing equipment of the present invention has a seasoning dispensing component inside the pot lid. Several seasonings to be added to the dish are placed inside the component through seasoning boxes, and one type of seasoning is placed in one seasoning box. Several seasoning boxes are stacked in the main shell of the seasoning dispensing component, and the main shell is provided with seasoning spray holes. When the seasoning box is located at the seasoning spray hole, the seasoning in the seasoning box corresponding to the seasoning spray hole is sprayed out by the action of the seasoning spray driving component. Since the seasoning boxes are stacked, the order and time of placing the seasonings in each seasoning box into the dish can be selected. In this way, the timing and order of placing each seasoning can be controlled according to actual needs. Compared with the existing methods of mixing various seasonings together and adding them into the dish, or placing the seasonings into the dish one by one through a pump structure, the structure is simpler, the taste of the dish is better, and the seasoning boxes can be freely assembled and disassembled and reused.

[0016] 2) The seasoning box of the present invention includes an upper support plate, a side deformable membrane and a lower support plate. A plurality of seasoning spray outlets are provided on the side deformable membrane, and an elastic extrusion member is also provided on the upper support plate. When the seasoning box is located at the seasoning spray outlet, if the seasoning box is squeezed, since the seasoning spray outlets are opposite to the seasoning spray outlets, the pressure in the seasoning receiving cavity breaks through the seasoning spray outlets, so that the opening and closing block is in the open state. In this way, the seasoning inside can be sprayed out from the seasoning spray outlets. At the same time, during the continuous squeezing process, the upper support plate and the lower support plate move closer and closer, and the elastic extrusion member is also squeezed. In this way, the jet fluid in the elastic extrusion member is also sprayed out through the fluid spray outlet, so that the seasoning in the seasoning receiving cavity can be blown out of the seasoning box, and the seasoning can be sprayed more evenly, avoiding the seasoning from clumping. Moreover, the seasoning dispensing component is located directly above the dish, which makes the seasoning spray more even.

[0017] 3) Further, in a preferred embodiment of the seasoning box and seasoning dispensing assembly of the present invention, the upper cylinder includes an upper fixed cylinder and a lower rotating cylinder that can rotate relative to the upper fixed cylinder. An upper screw sleeve and a lower screw are respectively fixed between the upper support plate and the lower support plate, and the lower screw is inserted into the upper screw sleeve. Through the interlocking threads, when the seasoning box corresponding to the seasoning spray hole is compressed and deformed, the side deformation membrane rotates. The rotating lower support plate drives the lower cylinder to rotate through the support ring. The rotation of the lower cylinder can drive the spatula to rotate, so that when the seasoning is sprayed, the seasoning spray hole rotates continuously, so that the seasoning is not sprayed in the same place on the dish, so that the seasoning is sprayed evenly and the spraying range is larger. Compared with the prior art, the seasoning can be absorbed faster and more thoroughly. At the same time, the spatula also rotates to stir the dish. Stirring while spraying the seasoning can further make the seasoning dissolve in the dish better and faster.

[0018] 4) Furthermore, the seasoning boxes of the present invention are fixed to each other by a magnetic structure, which makes it convenient to place the seasoning boxes. Moreover, the seasoning boxes are recyclable and can be used in different quantities according to different ingredients of different dishes. At the same time, the stacking order of several seasoning boxes can be flexibly selected according to the order of adding different ingredients, making it flexible and convenient to prepare ingredients. In addition, the seasoning boxes are also detachable, making it more convenient and reliable to clean up residual ingredients and perform cleaning.

[0019] 5) Furthermore, the seasoning box of the present invention also includes an elastic extrusion member with an internal jet fluid. In addition to spraying all the seasonings in the seasoning box out of the seasoning box, the elastic extrusion member can also prevent the seasonings from clumping when sprayed out and promote the spraying distance of the seasonings. At the same time, it can select to use air or water according to actual needs. When a certain amount of water needs to be added to the dish, it can be added to the elastic extrusion member in which seasoning box according to the order and time of adding water. It can flexibly adjust the ingredients and facilitate the addition of water. Attached Figure Description

Each seasoning uses a separate seasoning container 16. For example, if salt, soy sauce, sugar, MSG, and chili powder are required for cooking, five seasoning containers 16 are prepared. Then, salt, soy sauce, sugar, MSG, and chili powder are added into the seasoning containers 16 respectively. The seasoning containers 16 are arranged according to the order in which the seasonings are added to the dish. For example, if the order of adding the seasonings is: salt, soy sauce, chili powder, sugar, and MSG, the seasoning container 16 containing salt is placed at the bottom, and then the seasoning containers containing soy sauce, chili powder, sugar, and MSG are placed in order. The seasoning boxes are stacked in layers, with two adjacent boxes magnetically secured to each other by the upper magnetic block 34 and the lower magnetic block 35. Then, the lid 12 is opened, and the stacked seasoning boxes 6 are placed into the main housing 11. The lid 12 is then closed, and the extension length of the telescopic cylinder 19 is adjusted by adjusting the telescopic support so that the seasoning nozzle 24 of the lowest seasoning box 16 is aligned with the seasoning nozzle 17 on the main housing 11. Then, oil is added to the pot 3 (or the oil to be added can be placed in the seasoning box 16, and then the oil in the seasoning box 16 can be squeezed into the pot 3 by driving the telescopic cylinder 39). After the heating device heats the oil in the pot 3 to a certain temperature, the lid 4 is opened, the cleaned vegetables are poured into the pot 3, and then the pot is closed. Cover 4, start the rotary drive assembly 7, and the rotary motor 59 reciprocates, thereby causing the pot body 3 to shake, thus stirring the food inside the pot body 3. When the first seasoning salt needs to be added, the telescopic cylinder 39 extends. Since the seasoning spray outlet 24 of the bottom seasoning box 16 is opposite to the seasoning spray hole 17, the extended telescopic cylinder 39 squeezes the bottom seasoning box 16. As a result, the side deformation membrane 23 of the bottom seasoning box 16 deforms, and the increased pressure causes the seasoning spray outlet 24 to open, so that the seasoning in the seasoning receiving cavity 26 is evenly sprayed into the food through the seasoning spray outlet 24. At the same time, when the deformation reaches a certain degree, the elastic extrusion member 27 is also squeezed, and the internal jet fluid 29 is also squeezed through the fluid. The spray nozzle 30 sprays out, further spraying out all the seasonings in the seasoning container 26. Simultaneously, the telescopic support adjustment cylinder 19 retracts a certain distance, aligning the seasoning spray nozzle 24 of the second-to-last seasoning box 16 with the seasoning spray hole 17. After a preset time, if it is necessary to add soy sauce from the second-to-last seasoning box 16 to the dish, the telescopic cylinder 39 extends. The subsequent seasoning addition action is the same as the seasoning spraying action from the bottommost seasoning box 16, which will not be described again here. After all the seasonings have been added, stir-fry for a period of time, then open the pot lid 4. The rotation of the rotary motor 59 causes the dish in the pot 3 to pour out. Use a suitable plate or dish to catch the dish, thus completing the cooking process. In the case where the main shell includes an upper fixed cylinder and a lower rotating cylinder 49, as... Figure 10The side deformable membrane 23 and the lower support plate 22 are rotatably mounted on the upper support plate 21. Through the extension of the telescopic cylinder 39, the seasoning box 16, opposite the seasoning spray hole 17, begins to deform under pressure. The mutually pressing upper and lower support plates cause the upper threaded sleeve to slide up and down relative to the lower threaded rod. Since the upper support plate is relatively fixed, the lower support plate and the side deformable membrane begin to rotate. Because the lower support plate is supported on the support ring 20, the lower support plate drives the support ring 20 to rotate, thereby driving the lower rotating cylinder 49 to rotate. Ultimately, the side deformable membrane and the lower rotating cylinder 49 rotate synchronously, allowing the seasoning to rotate relative to the pot body 3 when sprayed from the seasoning spray hole 17. Furthermore, the rotating lower rotating cylinder... The cylinder 49 will then drive the spatula 8 to rotate, which will further stir the food, making the seasonings more evenly distributed and absorbed more quickly. After all the seasonings in the seasoning boxes have been added, the electromagnet at the lower end of the extrusion plate 40 will be de-energized, and several extruded seasoning boxes will be located in the seasoning box collection chamber 15. Then the telescopic cylinder 39 will retract. After a dish is finished, the pot lid will be opened, the dish will be served, and the lower cylinder 38 will be removed, allowing the seasoning box 16 to be taken out. Seasonings will then be added to the seasoning box for reuse. At the same time, after removing the lower cylinder 38, the spatula can also be removed for easy cleaning. After cleaning, the lower cylinder 38 will be reinstalled, and then the next dish will be ready for cooking.
