As a further optimization, based on the soup condition or temperature condition in the baking tray at different cooking times, it can be considered to design different cooking methods in the baking tray before and after flipping, such as cooking, dry roasting, etc. For this design, a temperature sensor is generally designed inside the baking tray, and the cooking method is switched based on the temperature signal output by the temperature sensor. However, there are inevitably some problems, such as inaccurate temperature measurement, untimely switching of cooking methods, and difficulty in maintenance and cleaning, and the method with built-in temperature sensors has higher requirements for production and assembly.

[0026] Figure 4 The state diagram of the rear support and detection mechanism of the rotary cooking device of the utility model is shown in FIG. Figure 2 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the following embodiments are combined with the accompanying drawings to explain the present invention in detail. Figure 1 The direction from the handle to the detection mechanism shown in the middle of the paper is from left to right in this embodiment.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown in , the rotary cooking device provided in this embodiment includes:

[0029] A base 1, with a first support 3 and a second support 4 erected on the upper end surface;

[0030] The baking tray 2 has a first rotating shaft 5 and a second rotating shaft 6 at both ends, and the first rotating shaft 5 and the second rotating shaft 6 are respectively mounted on the first support 3 and the second support 4 so as to be rotatable around their own axes, so as to allow the baking tray 2 to be turned over;

[0031] The detection mechanism includes a detection member 7 fixedly mounted on the second support 4, and a detection member 8 drivingly connected or fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 6, and the detection member 8 can move with the rotation of the second rotating shaft 6;

[0032] Furthermore, the detection member 8 has a first position state in which it is within the detection range of the detection component 7 and a second position state in which it is outside the detection range of the detection component 7 , and the detection component 7 prompts the grill 2 to execute different cooking programs based on whether the detection member 8 is detected.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, the rotary cooking device includes a base 1, a baking tray 2, and a detection mechanism. The baking tray 2 has rotating shafts at both ends. The detection mechanism includes corresponding detection components 7 and detection components 8, and the detection component 8 is connected to one of the rotating shafts and has different position states as the rotating shaft rotates. The detection component 7 executes different cooking programs in the baking tray 2 based on whether the detection component 8 is detected, so that the switching of the cooking program is smoother, more accurate and reliable, and there is no need to build a temperature sensor into the baking tray 2, so that production and assembly are more convenient, cost-effective, and maintenance is more convenient.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, specifically as Figures 2 to 4 As shown in , the detection mechanism is an optical sensor, and the detection member 8 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 6, and the detection member 7 includes an electrically connected PCB board 10 and a photosensitive part 11. When the detection member 8 is in the first position state, it at least partially blocks the photosensitive part 11, and when it is in the second position state, the photosensitive part 11 is in an unblocked state. Further, the photosensitive part 11 includes two optical devices arranged in parallel, and one of the optical devices has a light emitting part and the other optical device has a light source receiving part, and the detection range of the above-mentioned detection member 7 is formed between the two optical devices. That is, when the second rotating shaft 6 rotates to make the detection member 8 extend between the two optical devices, the light source receiving part is blocked, thereby achieving the purpose of optical detection. But obviously, a single optical head with integrated optical emission and receiving functions can also be used to perform detection based on the different strokes of the detection member 8 in the blocked and unblocked states, and it is not limited to this. At the same time, the detection member 8 can also be connected to the second rotating shaft 6 through a gear or rack or a push rod or a worm structure, which can meet the purpose of the detection member 8 moving with the second rotating shaft 6, and based on the displacement of its movement, optical or displacement or even pressure detection is performed, but it is not limited to this. And the PCB line board 10 is electrically connected to the central control in the cooking device to realize signal transmission, which is a conventional method and is omitted here.

[0035] As a further preferred embodiment, a rotating connector 9 is also sleevedly connected to the second rotating shaft 6, and the detection member 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating connector 9 away from the second rotating shaft 6, and the rotating connector 9 is rotatably installed on the second support 4. Furthermore, the end of the detection member 8 away from the second rotating shaft 6 is also bent to form a shielding piece 12, and the shielding piece 12 can rotate with the second rotating shaft 6 to between the two optical devices to achieve the above-mentioned detection purpose. But obviously, based on the arrangement of different positions, the detection member 8 can be directly designed to be arranged in the radial direction of the second rotating shaft 6, so that it can naturally extend between the two optical devices during rotation. Furthermore, a handle is also connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 5 away from the baking tray 2, so that the baking tray 2 can be turned over manually. Specifically, the central control and display screen of the cooking device itself have the function of timing and reminding the user to flip the baking tray 2. Based on the above content in the present scheme, it is also possible to consider designing a corresponding drive motor on the first rotating shaft 5, and the motor is controlled by the central control of the cooking device and runs based on the program recorded on the central control line board. For example, after cooking for the first preset time, the drive motor drives the baking tray 2 to flip 180 degrees, and then the detection component 7 detects the detection component 8 and further transmits a signal to the central control line board to execute the dry burning program in the baking tray 2, but it is not limited to this.

[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, a mounting frame 13 is also fixedly mounted on the second support 4, and an annular groove is formed on the mounting frame 13 for mounting the rotating connector 9, and the outer periphery of the rotating connector 9 has a circular ring structure adapted to the shape of the annular groove, so as to allow the rotating connector 9 to rotate and limit the rotating connector 9 in the mounting frame 13, thereby effectively preventing the rotating connector 9 from slipping out. Furthermore, the PCB board 10 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the second support 4 by fasteners, and the two optical devices are arranged in the radial direction of the second rotating shaft 6, so that the detection member 8 can be extended into the optical device. Furthermore, the detection member 8 is arranged as a whole in the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 6, and the shielding piece 12 formed by the bending of the head end of the detection member 8 is arranged in the radial direction of the second rotating shaft 6. Furthermore, the first support 3 and the second support 4 can be detachably assembled on the base 1, so as to facilitate disassembly and cleaning.

[0037] In addition, the above method is mainly explained by the detection mechanism using an optical sensor, but in actual application, the detection mechanism can also be implemented in various ways such as magnetic detection sensors, force-sensitive sensors, acoustic sensors, displacement position sensors, etc. The corresponding detection member 8 can also be connected to the second rotating shaft 6 to achieve transmission in various directions, such as using a push rod, a tension spring and other structures to achieve the displacement of the detection member 8 in a fixed direction (such as the radial direction of the second rotating shaft 6), and based on the change of the displacement, the above-mentioned various sensors are used for detection, that is, the main technical point of this scheme is to cancel the method of using a temperature sensor in the baking tray 2, and instead perform sensor detection based on the displacement change caused by the rotation of the second rotating shaft 6, which is not limited to optical sensors, or in other words, optical sensors are the simplest and most effective way, but it does not exclude sensors based on other principles from detecting based on the displacement change to achieve the above technical purpose. At the same time, the cooking equipment mainly targeted by this scheme is a pancake maker, but it is obviously also applicable to various cooking equipment such as a steak grill.

[0038] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, which is only illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalences can be made within the spirit and scope defined by the claims of the utility model, but they will all fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
