[0002] A cooking machine is a device that automates the cooking process. It typically has multiple functions such as stir-frying, pan-frying, boiling, and stewing. After preparing the ingredients, the user can select a program to automatically complete the cooking. Its core principle often uses electromagnetic heating and other technologies to achieve precise temperature control and automatic stir-frying. It is characterized by no oil fumes and easy operation.

[0003] For example, patent CN115517529A discloses a stir-fry machine, and specifically discloses the following technical solution: A stir-fry machine includes: a main body, including a shell and a drive mechanism and a heating mechanism housed within the shell, the heating mechanism being used to heat the food; a wok, for housing the food, detachably installed on the shell; a lid, for fitting with the wok lid to form a stir-fry cavity; and a stirring paddle, for connecting to the drive mechanism to rotate within the stir-fry cavity under the drive of the drive mechanism to agitate the food.

[0004] However, the cooking machine disclosed in the patent with publication number CN115517529A requires the lid and the wok to work together to achieve automatic cooking. The wok is placed in and taken out in a rather cumbersome manner. Moreover, the ingredients need to be manually added to the cooking machine, so it cannot be applied to commercial scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Example 1:

[0020] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, an intelligent cooking robot includes a main unit 1, a wok assembly 2, and an ingredient dispensing assembly 3.

[0021] The main unit 1 is provided with a cooking platform 101, and a cooking slot 102 is provided on the cooking platform 101. The cooking slot 102 passes through the front side of the main unit 1. The main unit 1 is provided with a first rotary drive mechanism 11. A first drive member 12 is provided on the output shaft of the first rotary drive mechanism 11. A first drive slot 1201 is provided on the first drive member 12. A first drive hole 103 is provided on the inner side wall of the cooking slot 101 corresponding to the first drive member 12.

[0022] The wok assembly 2 includes a wok 4 and a stirring rib 8. The stirring rib 8 is rotatably disposed in the wok 4. A second driving member 9 adapted to the first driving groove 1201 is provided on the rotating shaft of the stirring rib 8. The wok 4 is inserted into the cooking groove 102, and the second driving member 9 is inserted into the first driving groove 1201 after passing through the first driving hole 103. A heater is also provided in the main unit 1 corresponding to the lower part of the cooking groove. The heater is used to heat the wok 4.

[0023] For stirring rib 8, the following design options are available: The stirring rib 8 is provided with a scraper wrapped around it, or the stirring rib 8 is provided with a scraper that can be detachably fixed thereon.

[0024] The food dispensing component 3 is fixed on the main unit 1 and is used to dispense food into the wok 4.

[0025] In this embodiment, for example, the first rotary drive mechanism 11 includes components such as a motor and a bracket, and the heater heats the wok 4 using electromagnetic heating technology.

[0026] This invention inserts a wok 4 into a cooking tank 102, with the second drive component 9 and the first drive component 12 engaging. Food is fed into the wok via a food dispensing component, while the wok 4 is heated by a heater. Furthermore, the first rotary drive mechanism 11 rotates the stirring ribs 8 to stir-fry the food inside the wok 4. According to this design, this invention enables automated cooking, and the wok can be quickly placed and removed, making it convenient to use and particularly suitable for commercial applications.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the specific design for heat dissipation of the heater is as follows: The main unit 1 is equipped with an air inlet assembly 5 and an air outlet assembly 6. The air inlet assembly 5 corresponds to the position of the heater and is used to introduce external cold air into the main unit 1 and blow it toward the heater. The air outlet assembly 6 is used to exhaust the hot air in the main unit 1 to the outside.

[0028] In this embodiment, for example, both the air intake assembly 5 and the air exhaust assembly 6 include an air duct and a fan disposed within the air duct.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the specific design for identifying the position of the stirring ribs relative to the wok 4 is as follows: A calibration magnet 10 is provided on the first drive member 12 or the second drive member 9, and a Hall sensor 13 is provided in the main unit 1. The Hall sensor 13 is used to identify the position of the calibration magnet 10 (the Hall sensor 13 detects the distance between itself and the calibration magnet 10, and converts it into the position of the stirring rib 8 relative to the wok 4).

[0030] In this embodiment, the Hall sensor 13 is, for example, model BY-FA20NP1.

[0031] In addition, to enable the dispensing of seasonings, a seasoning supply system is provided in the main unit 1, and a seasoning dispensing nozzle is provided on the food dispensing component 3 with the nozzle facing downwards. The seasoning dispensing nozzle is connected to the seasoning supply system. Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a support portion 401 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the open end face of the wok 4. When the wok 4 is inserted into the cooking tank 102, the support portion 401 is supported on the cooking platform 101, and there is a gap between the wok 4 and the cooking tank 102.

[0033] The present invention supports the wok 4 on the cooking platform 101 by the support part 401 and makes a gap between the wok 4 and the cooking tank 102, so that the wok 4 is easier to insert into the cooking tank 102 and easier to remove from the cooking tank 102.

[0034] In the above technical solution, as one of the preferred designs, the front edge of the cooking platform 101 is provided with a first guide slope structure 104 to provide guidance for inserting the wok 4 into the cooking tank 102.

[0035] In the above technical solution, as a preferred design, the front edge of the cooking tank 102 is provided with a second guide slope structure 105 to provide guidance for inserting the wok 4 into the cooking tank 102. Example 3:

[0036] Please see Figures 8-23 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the food dispensing component 3 includes a dispensing seat 14 and a food box 15.

[0037] The dispensing seat 14 is provided with a dispensing platform 1401. The dispensing seat 14 is provided with a second rotary drive mechanism 18. The output shaft of the second rotary drive mechanism 18 is provided with a third drive member 17, and the third drive member 17 is located above the dispensing platform 1401.

[0038] The food container 15 includes a food container body 30 and a food container lid 31. The food container body 30 has an empty slot 32 and multiple holding slots 33. The food container body 30 also has a second driving slot 34 adapted to the third driving member 17. The food container lid 31 covers the open end face of the food container body 30 and closes the holding slots 33 in the food container body 30. The food container lid 31 also has a second driving hole 3102 and a dispensing hole 3101.

[0039] The dispensing platform 1401 is equipped with a fixing mechanism 16. The food box 15 is inverted on the dispensing platform 1401, and the food box cover 31 is fixed by the fixing mechanism 16. The food box body 30 is vertically positioned relative to the food box cover 31 by the fixing mechanism 16. The dispensing hole 3101 is outside the dispensing platform 1401 and above the wok 4. The third driving component 17 passes through the second driving hole 3102 and is inserted into the second driving groove 34. During the process of the second rotation driving mechanism 18 driving the food box body 30 to rotate, the empty groove 32 and the holding groove 33 can both rotate to correspond to the position of the dispensing hole 3101.

[0040] In this embodiment, for example, the second rotary drive mechanism 18 includes components such as a motor and a bracket, and the third drive member 17 and the second drive groove 34 are both "plum blossom" shaped structures.

[0041] According to the above design, the food box 15 of the present invention can be quickly assembled and disassembled on the dispensing platform 1401, making it easy to use. Moreover, the food box 15 only rotates in place during the food dispensing process, without occupying too much space. Therefore, multiple sets of food boxes 15 and their second rotating drive mechanism 18 can be deployed on the food dispensing component 3, which is suitable for cooking machines with multiple cooking stations.

[0042] As one embodiment of the fixing mechanism 16, the fixing mechanism 16 includes a slide 22, a slider 23 and a return spring 24. The slide 22 is embedded and fixed on the delivery platform 1401 and is provided with a groove 2201. The slider 23 is slidably disposed in the groove 2201. The return spring 24 is connected between the slider 23 and the slide 22. The slider 23 is located at one end of the groove 2201 near the food box 15, and the return spring 24 is stretched when the slider 23 slides in the groove 2201.

[0043] More specifically, the slide block 22 is provided with a first hook 25, the slider 23 is provided with a second hook 26, and the two ends of the return spring 24 are respectively hooked on the first hook 25 and the second hook 26.

[0044] As a preferred design, the slider 23 has a third guide slope structure 2301 on the side near the food box 15. When the food box 15 is installed, the food box 15 presses down on the third guide slope structure 2301, causing the slider 23 to slide in the slide groove 2201 (the return spring 24 will be stretched). After the food box 15 is installed, the slider 23 will return to its original position, fixing the food box cover 31 and keeping the food box body 30 at its upper limit in the vertical direction relative to the food box cover 31.

[0045] As a second preferred design, the slider 23 is provided with two symmetrical handles 24 on the side away from the food box 15. When disassembling the food box 15, the slider 23 is moved by the handles 24 to slide within the groove 2201, and then the food box 15 can be removed.

[0046] In this embodiment, for example, the dispensing platform 1401 is designed with two inverted positions for food boxes 15, and each inverted position of food box 15 is symmetrically provided with two fixing mechanisms 16.

[0047] As another embodiment, the fixing mechanism 16 includes a pressure plate 37, which is supported and fixed above the delivery platform 1401 by a support column. The third driving member 17 and the second driving groove 34 are both "straight" structures.

[0048] In this embodiment, for example, the dispensing platform 1401 is designed with two inverted food boxes 15, and a fixing mechanism 16 is provided in the middle of the inverted food boxes 15.

[0049] As one of the preferred designs for the food container 15, the lower side of the food container lid 31 is provided with a first protruding ring 36. The first protruding ring 36 is used to cooperate with the fixing mechanism 16 to fix the food container lid 31 relative to the food container body 30. That is, the fixing mechanism 16 directly acts on the first protruding ring 36.

[0050] More specifically, the first protruding ring 36 is provided with at least one positioning port 3601, and the fixing mechanism 16 directly acts on the positioning port 3601 (the positioning port 3601 is adapted to the slider 23) to fix the food box lid 31 relative to the food box body 30.

[0051] As a preferred design, the food box 15 has a second protruding ring 35 with the opening end of the food box body 30 facing downwards. The second protruding ring 35 is not lower than the lowest point of the positioning port 3601. The second protruding ring 35 is used to cooperate with the fixing mechanism 16 to make the food box body 30 relative to the food box cover 31 in the vertical upper limit position. That is, the fixing mechanism 16 directly acts on the second protruding ring 35.

[0052] In the above technical solution, in order to accurately control the process of the second rotary drive mechanism 18 driving the food container body 30 to rotate, the specific design is as follows: The output shaft of the second rotary drive mechanism 18 is provided with a light-shielding disc 20, and the light-shielding disc 20 is provided with light-shielding plates 21 corresponding to the empty slot 32 and the holding slot 33. The dispensing seat 14 is also provided with a photoelectric sensor 19. When the second rotary drive mechanism 18 drives the food box body 30 to rotate, when the empty slot 32 or the holding slot 33 rotates to the position corresponding to the dispensing hole 3101, the corresponding light-shielding plate 21 will trigger the photoelectric sensor 19.

[0053] In this embodiment, for example, the motor of the second rotary drive mechanism 18 is a dual-axis motor, the third drive member 17 is connected to one of the output shafts of the dual-axis motor, and the shielding disc 20 is connected to the other output shaft of the dual-axis motor.

[0054] According to the above design, the present invention can precisely control the process of the second rotary drive mechanism 18 driving the food container body 30 to rotate, and the control logic is as follows: In the initial state, the empty slot 32 corresponds to the position of the delivery hole 3101; The second rotary drive mechanism 18 starts to drive the food container 30 to rotate. When the photoelectric sensor 19 is triggered, the second rotary drive mechanism 18 stops driving the food container 30 to rotate. At this time, the first holding slot 33 corresponds to the position of the dispensing hole 3101. The second rotary drive mechanism 18 continues to drive the food container 30 to rotate. When the photoelectric sensor 19 is triggered, the second rotary drive mechanism 18 stops driving the food container 30 to rotate. At this time, the second holding slot 33 corresponds to the position of the dispensing hole 3101, and so on. Example 4:

[0055] Please see Figures 14-15 As shown, based on embodiment 3, the food dispensing component 3 also includes a fume hood 27 that is detachably fixed on the dispensing base 14. The fume hood 27 is provided with an air inlet 2701 and an air outlet 2702.

[0056] Specifically, the e-liquid cover 27 is detachable and fixed by having a snap-fit ​​component 28 on it, and a buckle 29 on the dispensing seat 14 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​component 28.

[0057] According to the above design, after connecting the air outlet 2702 to the external range hood, the present invention also has the function of absorbing oil fumes. More specifically, in order to exhaust the collected oil fumes, the main unit 1 is provided with an exhaust duct 7, one end of which is connected to the air outlet 2702 of the fume hood 27, and the other end is connected to the external range hood. Example 5:

[0058] Please see Figures 16-20 As shown, based on embodiment 3, in the food box body 30, the circumferential sidewalls of the empty slot 32 and the holding slot 33 are gradually inclined inward from top to bottom (before the food box body 30 is filled, it can be stacked and stored). Positioning ridges 35 are formed between adjacent empty slots 32 and holding slots 33 and between adjacent two holding slots 33. The number of positioning ridges 35 is M. The bottom of each holding slot 33 is provided with a positioning groove 3303 that divides its bottom into two parts. When two food box bodies 30 are stacked, the N positioning ridges 35 on the lower food box body 30 can be inserted into the positioning grooves 3303 on the upper food box body 30 respectively, where M=N+1.

[0059] In this embodiment, for example, the food box body 30 has one empty slot 32 and four holding slots 33, that is, M is 5 and N is 4.

[0060] After the food containers 30 are filled and stacked, the present invention uses the cooperation of the positioning ridge 35 and the positioning groove 3303 to form circumferential positioning, preventing relative rotation between the two stacked food containers 30. According to the above design, the present invention can stack the food containers 30 after they have been filled with food, and the stacking of the food containers 30 is very stable, which is more conducive to working in a busy kitchen.

[0061] In the above technical solution, as one of the preferred designs, the circumferential sidewall of the holding tank 33 is provided with a plurality of first protrusion structures 3301, which are used to increase the structural strength of the circumferential sidewall of the holding tank 33.

[0062] In the above technical solution, as a second preferred design, the lower sidewall (bottom surface) of the holding tank 33 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 3302, which are used to mark the holding tank 33. For example, in this embodiment, the holding tank 33 is marked as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4.

[0063] This invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described above.
