Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Pancakes are a traditional staple food in northern China. They are made by soaking wheat in water, grinding it into a paste, and then spreading it on a griddle. Traditional pancake-making equipment generally includes a scraper and a griddle. When making pancakes, the batter needs to be poured onto the griddle and spread evenly with a scraper, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient.

[0003] Existing technology improves upon traditional pancake machines by using a control mechanism consisting of a rope and pulleys to open and close the pancake dispenser. The machine is also designed to move along the griddle surface, allowing the batter to flow from the dispenser onto the griddle and spread into a pancake. While this significantly improves processing efficiency, its flexible control mechanism lacks precision and stability, resulting in poor pancake quality and uneven thickness.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0005] It should be noted that this section is intended to provide background or context for the technical solutions of the invention as set forth in the claims. The description herein does not imply acceptance of prior art simply because it is included in this section. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food processing device that ensures processing efficiency while improving the quality of pancakes.

[0007] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a food processing apparatus is provided, characterized in that it comprises: A frame, the frame including a base and a heating panel extending longitudinally along a first direction on the base; A material storage bin has a discharge port on its bottom wall. The material storage bin is movably mounted on the frame along a first direction. When the material storage bin discharges material, the discharge port is located above the heating panel to match the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel with the shape of the heating panel. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the frame. A grip is provided on the storage bin for the operator to grip and move the storage bin along the first direction; The discharge control mechanism includes a rotating assembly, a connecting arm, and a baffle. The rotating assembly is rotatably mounted on the gripper, the connecting arm is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly, and the baffle is slidably mounted on the bottom of the storage bin and connected to the connecting arm, for blocking or opening the discharge port under the rotation of the rotating assembly.

[0008] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a food processing apparatus is provided, characterized in that it comprises: Frame, storage bin, and discharge control mechanism; The frame includes a base, a heating panel extending longitudinally along a first direction on the base, a cable for supplying power to the heating panel, a switch on the side of the base for controlling the heating panel, and a stop for controlling the movement of the storage bin. The storage bin has a discharge port on its bottom wall. The storage bin is movably mounted on the frame along a first direction. When the storage bin discharges material, the discharge port is located above the heating panel, ensuring that the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel matches the shape of the heating panel. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the frame. The storage bin has rollers on both sides and a grip for the operator to hold and move the storage bin along the longitudinal direction of the frame. The discharge control mechanism is installed on the storage box to block or open the discharge port. It includes a linkage device installed on the grip and a baffle connected to the linkage device.

[0009] According to a third aspect of the present invention, a food processing apparatus is provided, characterized in that it comprises: The main body of the storage bin and the material discharge control mechanism located on the main body of the storage bin; The main body of the storage tank is generally rectangular funnel-shaped, with a discharge port on its bottom wall. The main body of the storage tank is movably mounted on the frame along a first direction. When the main body of the storage tank discharges material, the discharge port is located above the heating panel of the frame, so that the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel matches the shape of the heating panel. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the frame. The main body of the storage tank is provided with rollers on both sides. The main body of the storage tank is provided with a grip for the operator to hold and move the main body of the storage tank along the longitudinal direction of the frame. The discharge control mechanism is located on the main body of the storage box and is used to block or open the discharge port. It includes a linkage device located on the grip and a baffle connected to the linkage device.

[0010] The technical solution provided by this invention may include the following beneficial effects: In this invention, the opening and closing of the discharge port is controlled by a discharge control mechanism. As the material storage box is moved above the heating panel in the first direction by the gripping member, the shape of the raw material slurry flowing from the discharge port onto the heating panel matches the shape of the heating panel, thus spreading it to form a pancake. In addition, a rigid rotation control mechanism is formed by the cooperation of a rotating component and a connecting arm to accurately and reliably adjust the baffle, thereby precisely and stably controlling the size of the discharge port opening, improving the pancake quality, and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0014] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be more comprehensive and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0015] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative diagrams of embodiments of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0016] This exemplary embodiment first provides a food processing apparatus. (Reference) Figure 1 As shown, the food processing apparatus includes a frame 100, a storage bin 200, a gripper 300, and a discharge control mechanism 400.

[0017] The frame 100 includes a base 150 and a heating panel 110 extending longitudinally along a first direction on the base 150. The heating panel 110 is used to heat the raw material slurry. For example, the raw material slurry is pancake batter.

[0018] The storage bin 200 is used to store raw material slurry. A discharge port 251 is provided on the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200, extending along a second direction. The storage bin 200 is movably mounted on the frame 100 along a first direction. When the storage bin 200 discharges material, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110, ensuring that the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel 110 matches the shape of the heating panel 110.

[0019] The grip 300 is disposed on the storage bin 200 and is used by the operator to grip and move the storage bin 200 in a first direction.

[0020] The discharge control mechanism 400 includes a rotating assembly 410, a connecting arm 420, and a baffle 430. The rotating assembly 410 is rotatably mounted on the gripper 300, the connecting arm 420 is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly 410, and the baffle 430 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the storage box 200 and connected to the connecting arm 420, for blocking or opening the discharge port 251 under the rotation action of the rotating assembly 410.

[0021] It should be noted that the storage bin 200 is movably mounted on the frame 100 along the first direction, and when the operator applies a pushing force to the storage bin 200 through the grip 300, the storage bin 200 can move between the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100; the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100 are spaced apart in the first direction. When the storage bin 200 moves to the starting position, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110.

[0022] It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the frame 100 are all perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the first direction is as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ab, the second direction is as follows Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow cd is the height direction of rack 100 as follows. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ef.

[0023] The aforementioned food processing apparatus controls the opening and closing of the discharge port 251 through the discharge control mechanism 400. This allows the raw material slurry flowing from the discharge port 251 to the heating panel 110 to match the shape of the heating panel 110 as the storage box 200 is moved along the first direction above the heating panel 110 by the gripper 300, thus spreading it to form a pancake. In addition, a rigid rotation control mechanism is formed by the rotation component 410 and the linkage arm 420 to precisely and reliably regulate the baffle 430, thereby accurately and stably controlling the size of the opening of the discharge port 251, improving the quality of the pancake, and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0024] Below, we will refer to Figures 1 to 11 The various parts of the food processing apparatus described above in this example embodiment will be described in more detail.

[0025] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 As shown, a receiving box 120 is also provided on the frame 100, and the receiving box 120 is located on one side of the heating panel 110 in the first direction.

[0026] When the storage bin 200 moves to the end position, the discharge port 251 is located above the receiving bin 120.

[0027] By setting up the receiving box 120 as described above, when the storage box 200 returns from the starting position to the ending position, the receiving box 120 can be used to receive the raw material slurry remaining at the discharge port 251.

[0028] It should be noted that during the process of making pancakes using the food processing device of this embodiment, firstly, the operator pushes the storage box 200 from the starting position to the ending position in the first direction using the grip 300. During this movement, the discharge port 251 is opened by the discharge control mechanism 400, so that the raw material slurry in the storage box 200 can continuously flow to and spread evenly on the heating panel 110 during the movement of the storage box 200. After the storage box 200 returns to the ending position, the discharge port 251 is blocked by the discharge control mechanism 400. At this time, the receiving box 120 can be used to receive the raw material slurry remaining in the discharge port 251. Then, the operator pushes the storage box 200 from the ending position to the starting position in the first direction using the grip 300. During this movement, the discharge port 251 of the storage box 200 remains blocked. The storage box 200 stops after being moved to the starting position, ready for the next pancake making. By repeating the above process, pancakes can be made repeatedly.

[0029] Optionally, the receiving bin 120 can be detachably placed on the frame 100. For example, the frame 100 has a slot for accommodating the receiving bin 120. When the receiving bin 120 is needed, it can be placed in the slot, and when it is not needed, it can be removed from the slot.

[0030] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 As shown, the heating panel 110 includes a heating element 111 and a griddle panel 112. The griddle panel 112 is mounted on the frame 100, and the heating element 111 is embedded in the griddle panel 112. The heating element 111 heats the griddle panel 112, thereby using the griddle panel 112 to cook the pancake batter.

[0031] In one embodiment, reference Figure 5 As shown, the frame 100 is provided with guide rails 130 extending along the first direction on both sides in the second direction, and the storage box 200 is provided with rollers 500 on both sides in the second direction. Each roller 500 is provided with a limiting part 510 extending along its circumference. The limiting part 510 is located outside the guide rail 130 and is used to limit the rollers 500 along the second direction. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the height direction of the frame 100.

[0032] The guide rail 130 on the frame 100 cooperates with the roller 500 on the storage bin 200, so that the storage bin 200 can move on the frame 100 in the first direction. At the same time, the limiting part 510 limits the storage bin 200 in the second direction, ensuring that the roller 500 can roll stably on the guide rail 130 in the first direction.

[0033] Furthermore, the frame 100 is provided with a first stop 131 and a second stop 132, which are located at the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100, respectively, and are used to stop the storage box 200 in the first direction. The inner surface of the bottom wall 250 of the storage box 200 is inclined relative to the heating panel 110.

[0034] By tilting the inner surface of the bottom wall 250 of the storage box 200 relative to the heating panel 110, the pancake batter in the storage box 200 is smoothly discharged from the outlet 251 under the action of gravity.

[0035] Optionally, in the direction from the discharge port 251 to the stop plate 450, the distance between the inner surface of the bottom wall 250 of the storage box 200 and the heating panel 110 in the third direction gradually decreases.

[0036] For example, at least one guide rail 130 of the frame 100 is provided with a first stop 131, and at least one guide rail 130 is provided with a second stop 132. The first stop 131 and the second stop 132 are arranged at a distance in a first direction. The first stop 131 is located at the starting position of the frame 100, and the second stop 132 is located at the ending position of the frame 100. The first stop 131 and the second stop 132 cooperate to stop the storage box 200 in the first direction.

[0037] When the storage bin 200 moves to the starting position, at least one roller 500 on the storage bin 200 abuts against the first stop 131 provided on the guide rail 130 to stop the storage bin 200 in the first direction; when the storage bin 200 moves to the ending position, at least one roller 500 on the storage bin 200 abuts against the second stop 132 provided on the guide rail 130 to stop the storage bin 200 in the first direction.

[0038] By setting a first stop 131 and a second stop 132 on the two guide rails 130 of the frame 100, the material storage box 200 is ensured to move between the starting position and the ending position, thereby ensuring the precise operation of pancake making.

[0039] It should be noted that both guide rails 130 of the frame 100 are provided with a first stop 131 and a second stop 132; or, at least one guide rail 130 of the frame 100 is provided with a first stop 131 and a second stop 132; or, one guide rail 130 of the frame 100 is provided with a first stop 131 and the other guide rail 130 is provided with a second stop 132. This embodiment does not restrict how the first stop 131 and the second stop 132 are arranged on the two guide rails 130 of the frame 100, as long as at least one guide rail 130 is provided with a first stop 131 and at least one guide rail 130 is provided with a second stop 132, and the first stop 131 and the second stop 132 cooperate to limit the movement of the storage box 200 between the starting position and the ending position.

[0040] Optionally, at least one guide rail 130 of the frame 100 is provided with two second stops 132 spaced apart along a first direction, the two second stops 132 being located near the end position. The spacing between the two second stops 132 on the same guide rail 130 in the first direction is adapted to the diameter of the roller 500, so that when the storage bin 200 moves to the end position and finishes making pancakes, the two second stops 132 can temporarily limit the storage bin 200 to prevent it from slipping.

[0041] Optionally, the frame 100 is provided with multiple rollers 500 on both sides in the second direction, and the multiple rollers 500 provided on each side of the frame 100 are spaced apart in the first direction to improve the movement stability of the storage box 200 on the frame 100.

[0042] Optionally, the bottom of the rack 100 is provided with feet 140 to support the rack 100 and ensure that the rack 100 is placed stably in the work area.

[0043] In one embodiment, the frame 100 further includes a power supply and cables disposed on the base 150 for supplying power to the heating panel 110, and a switch 160 disposed on the side of the base 150 for controlling the heating panel 110. The cables electrically connect the heating panel 110 and the power supply, and the switch 160 is connected in series in the circuit between the output terminal of the power supply and the heating panel 110. The switch 160 controls the power supply to the heating panel 110; when the switch 160 is open, the power supply supplies power to the heating panel 110; when the switch 160 is closed, the power supply stops supplying power to the heating panel 110.

[0044] In one embodiment, the discharge control mechanism 400 further includes a limit adjustment member 440, which is adjustablely disposed on the rotating assembly 410 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 410, for adjusting the size of the discharge port 251.

[0045] When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the first position so that the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251, the limit adjustment member 440 abuts against the gripper 300.

[0046] When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the second position so that the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251, the aforementioned limiting adjustment member 440 separates from the gripper 300.

[0047] The aforementioned gripper 300, rotating assembly 410 and limiting adjustment member 440 work together to limit the rotation angle of rotating assembly 410 by limiting adjustment member 440, thereby limiting the moving distance of baffle 430, and thus controlling the opening size of discharge port 251.

[0048] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly 410 includes a rotating seat 411, a return spring 412, and a rotating arm 413.

[0049] The rotating seat 411 is rotatably connected to the gripper 300 in a resettable manner. The return spring 412 is mounted on the rotating seat 411, and the rotating end of the return spring 412 is fixed on the rotating seat 411, while the fixed end of the return spring 412 is fixed on the gripper 300.

[0050] One end of the connecting arm 420 is rotatably connected to the rotating seat 411, and the other end is connected to the baffle 430. The rotation axis of the connecting arm 420 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating seat 411.

[0051] The rotating arm 413 is fixedly connected to the rotating seat 411, and the limiting adjustment member 440 is adjustablely disposed on the rotating arm 413 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating seat 411.

[0052] The above-mentioned rotating seat 411, return spring 412, rotating arm 413, connecting arm 420 and gripping member 300 cooperate to drive the rotating relative gripping member 300 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting arm 420 to rotate relative to the rotating seat 411 and rotating arm 413, and then driving the baffle 430 to move, so as to block or open the discharge port 251 by using the baffle 430.

[0053] Optional, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the limiting adjustment member 440 is threadedly connected to the rotating arm 413. For example, the rotating arm 413 has a through hole, and a fastening ring 4131 is provided at the corresponding position of the through hole. The inner surface of the fastening ring 4131 is threaded. The limiting adjustment member 440 is rod-shaped and has external threads. The limiting adjustment member 440 passes through the through hole and the fastening ring 4131 and is threadedly connected to the fastening ring 4131.

[0054] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first shaft 4111 is rotatably mounted on the rotating seat 411. The two ends of the first shaft 4111 are fixedly connected to the gripper 300, so that the rotating seat 411 can rotate relative to the gripper 300 by rotating around the first shaft 4111. The return spring 412 is sleeved on the first shaft 4111.

[0055] With the cooperation of the first shaft 4111 and the return spring 412, when the user holds the grip 300, he can apply or remove the external force to the rotating arm 413 to make the rotating seat 411 rotate around the first shaft 4111, thereby achieving stable control of the baffle 430 to open or block the discharge port 251.

[0056] For example, when the rotating arm 413 is not subjected to external force applied by the user, the rotating arm 413 is in the initial position. At this time, under the elastic force of the return spring 412, the rotating seat 411, the connecting arm 420 and the baffle 430 are also in the initial position, and the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251. When the rotating arm 413 is subjected to an external force applied by the user, the rotating arm 413 can overcome the elastic force of the return spring 412 and drive the rotating seat 411 to rotate forward relative to the gripper 300, thereby driving the connecting arm 420 to rotate forward relative to the rotating arm 413 and the rotating seat 411, and then driving the baffle 430 to move forward, so that the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251; conversely, when the external force applied by the user is removed from the rotating arm 413, the rotating arm 413, under the elastic force of the return spring 412, drives the rotating seat 411 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the gripper 300, thereby driving the connecting arm 420 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the rotating arm 413 and the rotating seat 411, and then driving the baffle 430 to move in the opposite direction, so that the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251.

[0057] In one embodiment, a second shaft 4112 and a third shaft 4113 are provided at one end of the rotating seat 411 away from the first shaft 4111. The rotating arm 413 is fixedly connected to the second shaft 4112 and the third shaft 4113, and the connecting arm 420 is rotatably connected to the second shaft 4112.

[0058] Optional, see reference Figure 5 As shown, there are two connecting arms 420, and two connecting pieces 431 are provided on the baffle 430, which are spaced apart along the second direction. One end of the two connecting arms 420 is rotatably connected to the second shaft 4112, and the other end of the two connecting arms 420 is detachably connected to the two connecting pieces 431 respectively.

[0059] In one embodiment, reference Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the storage bin 200 includes a first sidewall 210 and a second sidewall 220 spaced apart along a first direction, a third sidewall 230 and a fourth sidewall 240 spaced apart along a second direction, and a bottom wall 250. The first sidewall 210, the second sidewall 220, the third sidewall 230, the fourth sidewall 240, and the bottom wall 250 are arranged to form the storage bin 200, and the second sidewall 220 and the bottom wall 250 can be integrally formed.

[0060] Optional, see reference Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 are fastened together by a plurality of first connecting rods 261 and a plurality of second connecting rods 262. The first sidewall 210 is connected to the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 at both ends in the second direction, and the second sidewall 220 is connected to the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 at both ends in the second direction.

[0061] Optional, see reference Figure 8 As shown, the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 are each provided with a first mounting groove 201 and a first mounting hole 202. The first sidewall 210 is provided with a first protrusion 211 and a second protrusion 212 at both ends in the second direction. The first protrusion 211 is engaged with the first mounting groove 201, and the second protrusion 212 is engaged with the first mounting hole 202.

[0062] Optional, see reference Figure 8 As shown, the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 are each provided with a second mounting groove 203, and the second sidewall 220 is provided with a third protrusion 221 at both ends in the second direction. The third protrusion 221 is engaged with the second mounting groove 203.

[0063] Optional, see reference Figure 8 As shown, the third sidewall 230 and the fourth sidewall 240 are each provided with a second mounting hole 204, and the bottom wall 250 is provided with a fourth protrusion 252 at both ends in the second direction. The fourth protrusion 252 is engaged with the second mounting hole 204.

[0064] Optional, see reference Figure 9 As shown, a first mounting plate 231 is provided at the bottom of the third side wall 230, and a second mounting plate 241 is provided at the bottom of the fourth side wall 240. Rollers 500 provided on both sides of the storage box 200 in the second direction are respectively provided on the first mounting plate 231 and the second mounting plate 241.

[0065] Optional, see reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 10As shown, a plurality of third connecting rods 263 are also connected between the third side wall 230 and the fourth side wall 240 of the storage box 200. The length direction of the third connecting rods 263 is parallel to the second direction, and there is a gap between the third connecting rods 263 and the bottom wall 250 of the storage box 200. The plurality of third connecting rods 263 are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the second direction for sliding support of the baffle 430.

[0066] It should be noted that, in the thickness direction of the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200, the baffle 430 is located between the third connecting rod 263 and the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200. That is, the above arrangement can use multiple third connecting rods 263 to provide sliding support for the baffle 430, so that with the cooperation of the discharge control mechanism 400, the baffle 430 can be controlled to move relative to the discharge port 251, thereby blocking or opening the discharge port 251.

[0067] In one embodiment, the gripper 300 includes two support arms 310 and a gripping arm 320. One end of the two support arms 310 is connected to the gripping arm 320, and the other end of the two support arms 310 is respectively connected to two side walls of the storage bin 200 in a second direction. For example, the other end of the two support arms 310 is respectively connected to the third side wall 230 and the fourth side wall 240 of the storage bin 200.

[0068] Optional, see reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support arm 310 is also provided with a fourth shaft 311, and the fourth shaft 311 and the first shaft 4111 are spaced apart along the length direction of the support arm 310. The two support arms 310 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the fourth shaft 311, and the two support arms 310 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the first shaft 4111, ensuring that the grip arm 320 and the support arm 310 are firmly connected.

[0069] It should be noted that the limiting adjustment member 440 is adjustablely disposed on the rotating arm 413 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating seat 411. When the rotating assembly 410 rotates to the first position relative to the gripper 300, the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251, and the limiting adjustment member 440 abuts against the gripper arm 320. When the rotating assembly 410 rotates to the second position relative to the gripper 300, the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251, and the limiting adjustment member 440 separates from the gripper arm 320.

[0070] In one embodiment, the discharge control mechanism 400 further includes a stop plate 450, which is disposed on the storage bin 200 and located on one side of the discharge port 251 in the first direction, for use in stopping the stop plate 430 when the stop plate 430 blocks the discharge port 251.

[0071] With the cooperation of the rotating assembly 410, the connecting arm 420 and the stop plate 450, the stop plate 450 can be used to stop the moving baffle 430, thereby controlling the stroke of the baffle 430 relative to the bottom wall 250 of the discharge box.

[0072] In one embodiment, the stop plate 450 is a bent plate, with its bending direction opposite to the discharge port 251. By setting the bending direction of the stop plate 450 opposite to the discharge port 251, the stop plate 450 is prevented from obstructing the flow of pancake batter from the discharge port 251.

[0073] In one embodiment, the stop plate 450 is a bent plate, and the stop plate 450 includes a first plate segment 451 and a second plate segment 452 that are set at an included angle and connected. The first plate segment 451 is connected to the storage bin 200, and at least part of the first plate segment 451 is located below the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200 to stop the baffle 430 when it blocks the discharge port 251. The second plate segment 452 is located below the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200 and extends away from the discharge port 251 relative to the first plate segment 451.

[0074] When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the first position, the baffle 430 abuts against the first section 451 of the stop plate 450, at which time the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251. When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the second position, the baffle 430 moves away from the first section 451 of the stop plate 450, at which time the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251.

[0075] The above-described configuration facilitates the installation, replacement, and maintenance of the stop plate 450. Furthermore, by positioning at least a portion of the first plate segment 451 below the bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200, the first plate segment 451 located below the bottom wall 250 effectively stops the baffle 430. Additionally, the second plate segment 452 extends away from the discharge port 251 relative to the first plate segment 451, preventing the second plate segment 452 of the stop plate 450 from obstructing the flow of pancake batter from the discharge port 251.

[0076] Optional, see reference Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the first plate segment 451 is detachably connected to the first side wall 210 of the storage box 200 by fasteners 4511. The first side wall 210 has a first connecting hole 213 for the fasteners 4511 to pass through, and each of the first plate segments 451 has a second connecting hole 4512 for the fasteners 4511 to pass through. The fasteners 4511 pass through the first connecting hole 213 and the second connecting hole 4512 in sequence to securely connect the first plate segment 451 to the first side wall 210. The fasteners 4511 can be screws, bolts, or pins.

[0077] Optional, see reference Figure 7As shown, the first plate segment 451 is provided with a first hollow part 4513 to reduce the overall weight of the stop plate 450.

[0078] In one embodiment, reference Figure 11 As shown, the baffle 430 is provided with a second hollow part 432, which reduces the weight of the baffle 430 and makes it easier for the user to apply a small external force to the rotating arm 413 to control the movement of the baffle 430.

[0079] The food processing device provided in this embodiment is used as follows: First, the discharge control mechanism 400 controls the baffle 430 to block the discharge port 251, and moves the storage box 200 to the starting position; then, the storage box 200 is moved from the starting position to the ending position along the first direction. During the movement, the user needs to apply external force to the rotating arm 413 to control the baffle 430 to keep the discharge port 251 open, so that the pancake batter in the storage box 200 can be released during the movement of the storage box 200. The batter continuously flows to and spreads evenly on the heating panel 110, allowing pancakes to be cooked using the griddle 112. After the storage bin 200 returns to the end position, the user removes the external force applied to the rotating arm 413, and the control baffle 430 blocks the outlet 251. Finally, the storage bin 200 is moved from the end position to the starting position along the first direction, while the outlet 251 of the storage bin 200 remains blocked during this process. The process stops after the storage bin 200 is moved to the starting position, ready for the next pancake cooking. By repeating the above process, pancakes can be cooked repeatedly.

[0080] It should be noted that by limiting the distance between the discharge port 251 at the bottom of the storage box 200 and the heating panel 110, it can be ensured that the pancake batter can be spread evenly on the heating panel 110. The distance between the discharge port 251 and the heating panel 110 can be set according to the thickness of the pancake, and this embodiment does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0081] It should also be noted that, in addition to blocking the baffle 430 when it blocks the outlet 251, the baffle 450 can also be used to smooth the pancake batter when it flows onto the heating panel 110. Furthermore, the design of the baffle 450 in this embodiment can also ensure that when the baffle 450 smooths the pancake batter onto the heating panel 110, it avoids obstructing the flow of the pancake batter from the outlet 251.

[0082] This example embodiment also provides a food processing apparatus. (See reference...) Figures 12 to 14 As shown, the food processing apparatus includes a frame 100, a storage bin 200, and a discharge control mechanism 400.

[0083] The frame 100 includes a base 150, a heating panel 110 extending longitudinally along a first direction on the base 150, a power supply cable for the heating panel 110, a switch 160 located on the side of the base 150 for controlling the heating panel 110, and a stop for controlling the movement of the storage bin 200. The heating panel 110 is used to heat the raw material slurry.

[0084] The storage bin 200 is used to store raw material slurry. The bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200 has a discharge port 251. The storage bin 200 is movably mounted on the frame 100 along a first direction. When the storage bin 200 discharges material, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110, so that the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel 110 matches the shape of the heating panel 110. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the frame 100. The storage bin 200 is provided with rollers 500 on both sides. The storage bin 200 is provided with a gripping member 300 for the operator to hold and move the storage bin 200 along the longitudinal direction of the frame 100.

[0085] The discharge control mechanism 400 is installed on the storage box 200 to block or open the discharge port 251. It includes a linkage device installed on the grip 300 and a baffle 430 connected to the linkage device.

[0086] It should be noted that the storage bin 200 is movably mounted on the frame 100 along the first direction, and when the operator applies a pushing force to the storage bin 200 through the grip 300, the storage bin 200 can move between the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100; the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100 are spaced apart in the first direction. When the storage bin 200 moves to the starting position, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110.

[0087] It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the frame 100 are all perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the first direction is as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ab, the second direction is as follows Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow cd is the height direction of rack 100 as follows. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ef.

[0088] The aforementioned food processing apparatus controls the opening and closing of the discharge port 251 through the discharge control mechanism 400. This ensures that, during the process of using the gripper 300 to push the storage box 200 to move above the heating panel 110 in the first direction, the shape of the raw material slurry flowing from the discharge port 251 onto the heating panel 110 matches the shape of the heating panel 110, thereby spreading it to form a pancake. In addition, the rigid rotation linkage device precisely and reliably regulates the baffle 430, thereby accurately and stably controlling the size of the opening of the discharge port 251, improving the quality of the pancake, and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0089] The various parts of the food processing apparatus described in this example embodiment will now be described in more detail.

[0090] In one embodiment, reference Figure 13 As shown, a receiving box 120 is also provided on the frame 100. The receiving box 120 is located on one side of the heating panel 110 in the first direction. When the storage box 200 moves to the end position of the frame 100, the discharge port 251 is located above the receiving box 120. By setting the receiving box 120 as described above, the receiving box 120 can be used to receive the raw material slurry remaining at the discharge port 251 when the storage box 200 returns from the starting position to the end position.

[0091] It should be noted that during the process of making pancakes using the food processing device of this embodiment, firstly, the operator pushes the storage box 200 from the starting position to the ending position in the first direction using the grip 300. During this movement, the discharge port 251 is opened by the discharge control mechanism 400, so that the raw material slurry in the storage box 200 can continuously flow to and spread evenly on the heating panel 110 during the movement of the storage box 200. After the storage box 200 returns to the ending position, the discharge port 251 is blocked by the discharge control mechanism 400. At this time, the receiving box 120 can be used to receive the raw material slurry remaining in the discharge port 251. Then, the operator pushes the storage box 200 from the ending position to the starting position in the first direction using the grip 300. During this movement, the discharge port 251 of the storage box 200 remains blocked. The storage box 200 stops after being moved to the starting position, ready for the next pancake making. By repeating the above process, pancakes can be made repeatedly.

[0092] In one embodiment, the frame 100 further includes a power supply disposed on the base 150 for supplying power to the heating panel 110. A cable disposed on the base 150 electrically connects the heating panel 110 and the power supply, and a switch 160 is connected in series in the circuit between the output terminal of the power supply and the heating panel 110. The switch 160 controls the power supply to the heating panel 110; when the switch 160 is open, the power supply supplies power to the heating panel 110; when the switch 160 is closed, the power supply stops supplying power to the heating panel 110.

[0093] In one embodiment, reference Figure 14 As shown, the frame 100 is provided with guide rails 130 extending along the first direction on both sides in the second direction, and the rollers 500 on both sides of the storage box 200 are respectively provided with limiting parts 510 extending along their circumference. The limiting parts 510 are located outside the guide rails 130 and are used to limit the rollers 500 along the second direction; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the height direction of the frame 100.

[0094] In one embodiment, reference Figure 14 As shown, the stop members provided on the frame 100 include a first stop member 131 and a second stop member 132. At least one guide rail 130 of the frame 100 is provided with a first stop member 131, and at least one guide rail 130 is provided with a second stop member 132. The first stop member 131 and the second stop member 132 are arranged at intervals in a first direction. The first stop member 131 is located at the starting position of the frame 100, and the second stop member 132 is located at the ending position of the frame 100. The first stop member 131 and the second stop member 132 cooperate to stop the storage box 200 in the first direction.

[0095] In one embodiment, reference Figure 13 As shown, the linkage device includes a rotating assembly 410 and a connecting arm 420. The rotating assembly 410 is rotatably mounted on the gripper 300, and the connecting arm 420 is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly 410. The baffle 430 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the storage box 200 and connected to the connecting arm 420, and is used to block or open the discharge port 251 under the rotation of the rotating assembly 410.

[0096] The rigid rotation control mechanism, formed by the cooperation of the rotating component 410 and the connecting arm 420, can accurately and reliably regulate the baffle 430, thereby precisely and stably controlling the size of the opening of the discharge port 251, improving the quality of the pancake and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0097] In one embodiment, reference Figure 13 As shown, the discharge control mechanism 400 also includes a limit adjustment member 440, which is adjustablely disposed on the rotating assembly 410 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 410, for adjusting the size of the discharge port 251.

[0098] When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the first position so that the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251, the limiting adjustment member 440 abuts against the gripper 300. When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the second position so that the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251, the limiting adjustment member 440 separates from the gripper 300.

[0099] The aforementioned gripper 300, rotating assembly 410 and limiting adjustment member 440 work together to limit the rotation angle of rotating assembly 410 by limiting adjustment member 440, thereby limiting the moving distance of baffle 430, and thus controlling the opening size of discharge port 251.

[0100] In one embodiment, reference Figure 13As shown, the discharge control mechanism 400 also includes a stop plate 450, which is disposed on the storage bin 200 and located on one side of the discharge port 251 in the first direction. The stop plate 450 is used to stop the baffle 430 when it blocks the discharge port 251. Through the cooperation of the rotating assembly 410, the connecting arm 420, and the stop plate 450, the stop plate 450 can be used to stop the moving baffle 430, thereby controlling the stroke of the baffle 430 relative to the bottom wall 250 of the discharge bin.

[0101] Optionally, the stop plate 450 is a bent plate, with its bending direction opposite to the discharge port 251. By setting the bending direction of the stop plate 450 opposite to the discharge port 251, the stop plate 450 is prevented from obstructing the flow of pancake batter from the discharge port 251.

[0102] It should be noted that the specific structures of the storage bin 200, baffle 430, rotating assembly 410, stop baffle 450, and gripper 300 in this embodiment can be found in the following reference. Figures 1 to 11 The aforementioned embodiments will not be described again here.

[0103] This example embodiment also provides a food processing apparatus. (See reference...) Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the food processing apparatus includes: a storage bin 200 main body and a discharge control mechanism 400 disposed on the storage bin 200 main body.

[0104] The main body of the storage bin 200 is rectangular funnel-shaped for storing raw material slurry. The bottom wall 250 of the storage bin 200 has a discharge port 251. The main body of the storage bin 200 is movably mounted on the frame 100 along a first direction. When the main body of the storage bin 200 discharges material, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110 of the frame 100, so that the shape of the raw material slurry flowing onto the heating panel 110 matches the shape of the heating panel 110. The first direction is perpendicular to the height direction of the frame 100. Rollers 500 are provided on both sides of the main body of the storage bin 200. The main body of the storage bin 200 is provided with a gripping member 300 for the operator to hold and move the main body of the storage bin 200 along the longitudinal direction of the frame 100. The discharge control mechanism 400 is installed on the main body of the storage box 200 to block or open the discharge port 251. It includes a linkage device installed on the grip and a baffle 430 connected to the linkage device.

[0105] It should be noted that the storage bin 200 can be movably mounted on the external frame 100, and when the operator applies a pushing force to the storage bin 200 through the grip 300, the storage bin 200 can move between the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100 along a first direction; the starting position and the ending position of the frame 100 are spaced apart in the first direction. When the storage bin 200 moves to the starting position, the discharge port 251 is located above the heating panel 110 of the frame 100.

[0106] It should be noted that the first direction, the second direction, and the height direction of the frame 100 are all perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the first direction is as follows: Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ab, the second direction is as follows Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow cd is the height direction of rack 100 as follows. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow ef.

[0107] The aforementioned food processing apparatus controls the opening and closing of the discharge port 251 through the discharge control mechanism 400. This ensures that, during the process of using the gripper 300 to push the storage box 200 to move above the heating panel 110 in the first direction, the shape of the raw material slurry flowing from the discharge port 251 onto the heating panel 110 matches the shape of the heating panel 110, thereby spreading it to form a pancake. In addition, the rigid rotation linkage device precisely and reliably regulates the baffle 430, thereby accurately and stably controlling the size of the opening of the discharge port 251, improving the quality of the pancake, and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0108] The various parts of the food processing apparatus described in this example embodiment will now be described in more detail.

[0109] In one embodiment, reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the linkage device includes a rotating assembly 410 and a connecting arm 420. The rotating assembly 410 is rotatably mounted on the gripper 300, and the connecting arm 420 is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly 410. The baffle 430 is slidably mounted on the bottom of the storage box 200 and connected to the connecting arm 420, and is used to block or open the discharge port 251 under the rotation of the rotating assembly 410.

[0110] The rigid rotation control mechanism, formed by the cooperation of the rotating component 410 and the connecting arm 420, can accurately and reliably regulate the baffle 430, thereby precisely and stably controlling the size of the opening of the discharge port 251, improving the quality of the pancake and ensuring that the pancake thickness is uniform.

[0111] In one embodiment, reference Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the discharge control mechanism 400 also includes a limit adjustment member 440, which is adjustablely disposed on the rotating assembly 410 in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating assembly 410, for adjusting the size of the discharge port 251.

[0112] When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the first position so that the baffle 430 blocks the discharge port 251, the limiting adjustment member 440 abuts against the gripper 300. When the rotating assembly 410 rotates relative to the gripper 300 to the second position so that the baffle 430 opens the discharge port 251, the limiting adjustment member 440 separates from the gripper 300.

[0113] The aforementioned gripper 300, rotating assembly 410 and limiting adjustment member 440 work together to limit the rotation angle of rotating assembly 410 by limiting adjustment member 440, thereby limiting the moving distance of baffle 430, and thus controlling the opening size of discharge port 251.

[0114] In one embodiment, reference Figure 17 As shown, the discharge control mechanism 400 also includes a stop plate 450, which is disposed on the storage bin 200 and located on one side of the discharge port 251 in the first direction. The stop plate 450 is used to stop the baffle 430 when it blocks the discharge port 251. Through the cooperation of the rotating assembly 410, the connecting arm 420, and the stop plate 450, the stop plate 450 can be used to stop the moving baffle 430, thereby controlling the stroke of the baffle 430 relative to the bottom wall 250 of the discharge bin.

[0115] Optionally, the stop plate 450 is a bent plate, with its bending direction opposite to the discharge port 251. By setting the bending direction of the stop plate 450 opposite to the discharge port 251, the stop plate 450 is prevented from obstructing the flow of pancake batter from the discharge port 251.

[0116] It should be noted that the specific structures of the storage bin 200, baffle 430, rotating assembly 410, stop baffle 450, and gripper 300 in this embodiment can be found in the following reference. Figures 1 to 11 The aforementioned embodiments will not be described again here.
