A pulling groove 13 is arranged on the cooking cage 10, and one end of the pulling groove 13 is open, and the pulling groove 13 is open at one end close to the swing driving mechanism and the swinging member. The position of the pulling groove 13 matches the position of the swinging member 17 when it swings to the inner side of the pot body. When the rotating component drives the cooking cage 10 to rotate to the food delivery station 6, the swinging member 17 can extend into the pulling groove 13. When the swinging member 17 swings to the outer side of the pot body through the swing driving mechanism, the cooking cage 10 can be moved through the pulling groove 13 to make the cooking cage 10 flip over. When the cooking cage 10 flips to the set angle, the cooked food can be poured out.

[0043] The pot body adopts a cylindrical structure. In some other embodiments, a cubic structure may also be adopted. Those skilled in the art may configure it according to the actual application scenario, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] The pot body includes a bottom pot wall 1 and a cylindrical side pot wall 2 fixed to the edge of the bottom pot wall 1. A cover plate assembly is arranged on the top of the cylindrical side pot wall 2. The cover plate assembly has a food delivery inlet to form a food delivery station 5. The cover plate assembly is also provided with a food delivery outlet to form a food delivery station 6.

[0045] Specifically, the cover plate assembly includes a rectangular plate 3, the center line of the rectangular plate 3 passes through the center of the top surface of the pot body, and the two ends of the rectangular plate 3 are fixedly connected to the mounting flanges arranged on the top of the cylindrical side pot wall 2 by bolts, and the mounting flanges are formed by folding the top of the cylindrical side pot wall 2 outward by 90°. One side of the rectangular plate 3 serves as a food delivery inlet to form a food delivery station 4, and two fan-shaped plates 5 are arranged on the other side of the rectangular plate 3. The two fan-shaped plates 5 are fixedly connected to the mounting flanges arranged on the top of the cylindrical side pot wall 2 by bolts, and the arc edges of the two fan-shaped plates 5 are arranged along the outer edges of the cylindrical side pot wall 2, and the food delivery outlet is between the two fan-shaped plates 5 to form a food delivery station 6.

[0046] It is understandable that the cover plate assembly may also be a whole plate or a combination of multiple plates, as long as a food delivery inlet and a food delivery outlet are left, which will not be described in detail here.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, a rotating component is arranged inside the pot body, and the rotating component is arranged coaxially with the pot body. The center position of the rotating component is connected to a rotating drive mechanism fixed at the center position of the top of the pot body. The rotating drive mechanism can drive the rotating component to rotate around its own axis, thereby realizing the switching of the cooking cage 10 between the food feeding station 5 and the food feeding station 6.

[0048] In this embodiment, the rotating component is a rotating disk 7, and the center position of the rotating disk 7 is connected to the output shaft of the rotation driving mechanism.

[0049] Preferably, the rotating disk 7 is a circular disk coaxially arranged with the pot body.

[0050] The rotation drive mechanism is installed at the center position of the top surface of the rectangular plate 3 in the cover plate assembly, and the rotation drive mechanism includes a rotation drive motor 8. The housing of the rotation drive motor 8 is fixed to the housing of the reducer 9, and its output shaft serves as the input shaft of the reducer 9. The housing of the reducer 9 is fixed on a bracket, and the bracket is fixed to the rectangular plate 3 by bolts, and the bracket is located at the center position of the rectangular plate 3. The output shaft of the reducer 9 is coaxially arranged with the pot body, and the output shaft of the reducer 9 passes through the rectangular plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the center position of the turntable 7 inside the pot body, which can drive the turntable 7 to rotate around its own axis.

[0051] In some other embodiments, the rotation drive mechanism may also be a device such as a hydraulic motor that can output rotational motion.

[0052] At least one cooking cage 10 is disposed on the rotating disk 7, and the cooking cage 10 is used to place food materials, such as noodles, dumplings, etc.

[0053] In this embodiment, in order to improve work efficiency, a plurality of cooking cages 10 are provided, and the plurality of cooking cages 10 are distributed along a circle with the center of the turntable 7 as the center.

[0054] The cooking cages 10 are distributed along the circumference of the turntable 7. Compared with the traditional straight line arrangement, the same number of cooking cages 10 adopts a circular distribution scheme to reduce the occupied space in a horizontal direction, improve the utilization rate of space, and improve the adaptability of the entire equipment to the site.

[0055] like Figure 3As shown, the cooking cage 10 can be a cylindrical cage, a cubic cage, a conical cage, etc. In order to maximize the space utilization on the turntable 7, the cooking cage 10 of this embodiment adopts a fan-shaped structure or an isosceles trapezoidal structure, that is, the cross-section of the cooking cage 10 perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part is a fan-shaped or isosceles trapezoidal shape. In order to facilitate the rotational connection between the cooking cage 10 and the outer edge of the turntable 7, the cross-section of the cooking cage 10 perpendicular to the axis of the rotating part is an isosceles trapezoidal shape.

[0056] The cooking cage 10 includes a bottom cage wall, and four side cage walls are connected to the edges of the bottom side walls, wherein two side cage walls are arranged along the radial direction of the turntable 7, and are side cage walls corresponding to the two waists of the isosceles trapezoid, an inner cage wall is arranged between the inner ends of the two side cage walls, and an outer cage wall is arranged between the outer ends, the inner cage wall and the outer cage wall are two side cage walls corresponding to the upper bottom and the lower bottom of the isosceles trapezoid, respectively, wherein the inner end is the end close to the center of the rotating component, and the outer end is the end far away from the center of the rotating component.

[0057] The cooking cage 10 is open at the top, and mesh holes are arranged on the bottom cage wall and four side cage walls to enable the food to be immersed in water.

[0058] The cooking cage 10 adopts an isosceles trapezoidal structure and can be compactly arranged on the turntable 7, maximizing the use of the space of the turntable 7, increasing the internal space of the cooking cage 10, and improving work efficiency.

[0059] In one embodiment, the turntable 7 is a solid plate structure, and the cooking cage 10 is directly placed on the turntable 7 and is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable 7. In this manner, since the food needs to be immersed in water during cooking, the turntable 7 needs to be set at the bottom of the pot body and must be immersed in water. The output shaft of the rotation drive mechanism is relatively long, which is inconvenient to process and manufacture. In addition, the turntable 7 is located at the bottom of the pot body and is subject to greater water resistance, which increases the performance requirements for the rotation drive mechanism.

[0060] Therefore, in this embodiment, a supporting opening matching the cooking cage 10 is provided on the turntable 7. Since the cooking cage 10 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, the supporting opening adopts an isosceles trapezoidal shape matching the cooking cage 10. Accordingly, from top to bottom, the cooking cage 10 adopts a tapered structure, that is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cooking cage 10 perpendicular to the axis of the turntable 7 gradually decreases, and the cooking cage 10 can pass through the supporting opening. The area of ​​the supporting opening is smaller than the area of ​​the top end of the cooking cage 10. Therefore, the turntable 7 can support the cooking cage 10 through the supporting opening. Since the cooking cage 10 can extend below the turntable 7, the turntable 7 can be set at the top position of the pot body, which shortens the length of the output shaft of the rotation drive mechanism. At the same time, the turntable 7 does not need to be immersed in water or is immersed in water at a small depth, and the resistance encountered is small, thereby reducing the performance requirements for the rotation drive mechanism.

[0061] At the same time, in order to prevent the support opening from hindering the turning of the cooking cage 10, all side cage walls of the cooking cage 10 are inclined inward from top to bottom.

[0062] Furthermore, a plurality of weight-reducing holes are provided on the inner side of the support opening of the turntable 7. Preferably, the plurality of weight-reducing holes are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. By providing the weight-reducing holes, the weight of the turntable 7 is reduced, further reducing the performance requirements for the rotating drive mechanism.

[0063] Along the radial direction of the rotating component, the outer top of the cooking cage 10 is rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable 7. Specifically, a U-shaped plate 11 is provided on the top of the outer cage wall of the cooking cage 10. The U-shaped plate 11 includes a first plate portion fixedly connected to the outer cage wall of the cooking cage 10 and a second plate portion and a third plate portion fixed on both sides of the first plate portion. Ear plates 12 respectively matching the second plate portion and the third plate portion are provided at the outer edge of the upper surface of the turntable 7. The ear plates 12 are rotatably connected to the second plate portion and the third plate portion through a rotating shaft, thereby realizing the rotatable connection between the cooking cage 10 and the edge of the turntable 7.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the top outer side surface of the side cage wall at the outer end of the cooking cage 10 can also be rotatably connected to the outer edge of the turntable 7 through a hinge, or two ear plates are also provided at the top of the outer cage wall of the cooking cage 10, and the two ear plates are respectively rotatably connected to the two ear plates at the outer edge of the upper surface of the turntable through an axis.

[0065] The cooking cage 10 can rotate around the connection position with the turntable 7, so as to realize the overturning of the cooking cage 10. When the top opening of the cooking cage 10 is tilted downward, the cooked food in the cooking cage 10 can be poured out.

[0066] The cooking cage 10 is provided with a flipping groove 13, which can cooperate with the swinging member, and the swing driving mechanism drives the cooking cage to flip through the swinging member 17.

[0067] The push groove 13 can be set on the side or top of the cooking cage 10. In this embodiment, since the multiple cooking cages 10 are compactly arranged, the push groove 13 is set on the top of the side wall of the cooking cage 10 arranged radially along the rotating part. Setting the push groove 13 on the top of the cooking cage can prevent the swinging part from extending into the interior of the pot and causing contamination of the food.

[0068] Preferably, the groove 13 is a long strip groove, and the long axis of the groove 3 is parallel to the top edge of the side wall of the cooking cage 10 arranged along the radial direction of the rotating part.

[0069] In some other embodiments, the groove 13 may also be a circular groove or an elliptical groove or other irregular groove with a diameter that meets the requirements, as long as the movement stroke of the swing member 17 in the groove 13 is met when the swing member drives the cooking cage to move. That is, the radial dimension of the groove 13 along the turntable 7 needs to reach a set value to meet the movement stroke of the swing member 17 in the groove 13, thereby ensuring that the cooking cage 10 can be smoothly flipped to an angle where the food can be poured out.

[0070] At the same time, in order to reduce the requirements on the dynamic performance of the swing drive mechanism, the shifting groove 13 is arranged at the inner end of the cooking cage 10 along the radial direction of the rotating part. In this way, the force application point when the swing member drives the cooking cage 10 to flip is at the maximum distance from the rotation position of the cooking cage 10, the required force is the smallest, and the requirements on the dynamic performance of the swing drive mechanism are the lowest.

[0071] In this embodiment, along the rotation direction of the rotating component, the swing drive mechanism is arranged at the front side of the food delivery station 6. Therefore, the sliding groove 13 is opened at the top of the side cage wall of the cooking cage 10 which is located in the front along the rotation direction and arranged radially along the rotating component. A raised plate is provided at the inner end of the top edge of the side cage wall, and the raised plate is provided with the sliding groove 13.

[0072] In some other embodiments, the swing drive mechanism is arranged at the rear side of the food delivery station along the rotation direction of the rotating component. Therefore, the pull groove 13 is opened at the top of the side cage wall of the cooking cage 10 which is located at the rear along the rotation direction and arranged radially along the rotating component.

[0073] like Figure 4 As shown, the swing drive mechanism is fixed at the outer edge of the top of the pot body, located in front of the food delivery station, the swing drive mechanism includes a swing drive member, the swing drive member includes a swing drive motor 14, the housing of the swing drive motor 14 is fixed to the housing of the reducer 15, the housing of the reducer 15 is fixed to the cover plate assembly of the pot body through a mounting seat, the output shaft of the swing drive motor 14 serves as the input shaft of the reducer 15, the output shaft of the reducer 15 is coaxially connected with the rotating shaft 16, and can drive the rotating shaft 16 to rotate, preferably, the rotating shaft 16 is arranged along the tangent direction of the turntable 7.

[0074] In some other embodiments, the swing drive mechanism may also be a device capable of outputting rotational motion, such as a steering gear or a hydraulic motor.

[0075] The rotating shaft 16 is provided with a swinging member 17 perpendicular thereto. The rotation of the rotating shaft 16 can drive the swinging member 17 to swing toward or away from the pot body. The position of the sliding groove 13 matches the position when the swinging member 17 swings to the closest position to the pot body so that when the cooking cage 10 is driven by the turntable 7 to rotate to the food delivery station 6, the swinging member 17 can extend into the sliding groove 13.

[0076] In this embodiment, the swing member 17 adopts a rod-shaped structure, one end of which is vertically connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end is provided with a bending part, which is a 90° bend 18. The 90° bend is used to extend into the inside of the shifting groove 13. The swing member 17 can drive the cooking cage to flip through the 90° bend and the shifting groove.

[0077] It is understandable that the bent portion may also be bent at other angles as long as it can extend into the pull slot 13, which will not be described in detail here.

[0078] Furthermore, the swing member 17 adopts a bent rod structure, so that the 90° bend at its end can match the position of the pull slot 13 .

[0079] In this embodiment, the swing member 17 includes a first rod portion 17-1, one end of the first rod portion 17-1 is vertically connected to the rotating shaft 16, the other end of the first rod portion 17-1 is vertically connected to the second rod portion 17-2, the second rod portion 17-2 is perpendicular to the axis of the first rod portion 17-1 and the rotating shaft 16, the other end of the second rod portion 17-2 is bent to form a third rod portion 17-3, the axis of the third rod portion 17-3 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 16, one end of the third rod portion 17-3 is connected to the second rod portion 17-2, and the other end is vertically connected to one end of the fourth rod portion 17-4, the fourth rod portion 17-4 is arranged parallel to the first rod portion 17-1, and the other end of the fourth rod portion 17-4 is bent to form a 90° bend for cooperating with the shifting groove 13.

[0080] It is understandable that the bending form of the swing member 17 is set according to the relative position of the swing drive mechanism and the pull slot 13. Those skilled in the art may choose other bending forms, which will not be described in detail here.

[0081] In another embodiment, the swing member 17 may also adopt a plate-like structure, such as an L-shaped plate structure, wherein the L-shaped plate includes two mutually perpendicular plate portions, one of which is vertically connected to the rotating shaft, and the other is used to cooperate with the shifting groove and can extend into the inside of the shifting groove.

[0082] Furthermore, the push groove 13 makes a circular motion with the cooking cage 10, forming an arc-shaped motion trajectory. Since the swing drive mechanism is installed at the outer edge of the top of the pot body, the swing drive mechanism is arranged outside the motion trajectory of the push groove 13. In order to pour out the food, after the cooking cage is restored to position 10, the cooking cage 10 can continue to move driven by the rotating component without being hindered by the swing member 17. The end of the push groove 13 close to the swing drive mechanism is open, that is, the outer end of the push groove 13 along the radial direction of the rotating component is open. Through the opening, the side wall of the cooking cage 10 where the push groove 13 is arranged can pass over the swing member 17 through the open end, and the swing member 17 will not cause any obstacle to the movement of the cooking cage 10.

[0083] A material guide plate 20 is provided on the cylindrical side wall of the pot body at a corresponding position of the food delivery station 6. The material guide plate 20 is tilted, and the height of the feeding end thereof is higher than the height of the discharging end. The food in the overturned cooking cage 10 can be poured into the material guide plate 20 and enter the food placement container under the guidance of the material guide plate 20.

[0084] Furthermore, baffles are provided on both sides of the guide plate 20, and the baffles are integrally formed with the guide plate 20 to prevent the food on the guide plate 20 from spilling on the guide plate 20 without entering the food placement container.

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, a heating element is provided on the bottom pot wall 1 of the pot body, and the heating element is used to heat the food. The heating element adopts a plurality of heating plates 19, and the heating plates 19 can adopt existing equipment, which will not be described in detail here. In order to ensure the uniformity of heating, the plurality of heating plates 19 are evenly spaced along the circumference with the center of the pot body as the center. Preferably, six heating plates 19 are provided. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can set the number of heating plates 19 according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0086] Example 2

[0087] The present embodiment provides a rotary cooking pot. Compared with the embodiment 1, the difference lies in the installation position of the swing drive mechanism. In the present embodiment, the swing drive mechanism is installed on the rectangular plate 3 and is arranged close to the rotation drive mechanism. At this time, the swing drive mechanism is located on the inner side of the movement trajectory of the pull groove 13. The pull groove 13 is arranged to be open at the end close to the swing drive mechanism, that is, the inner end of the pull groove 13 along the radial direction of the rotating part is opened to meet the requirement of continuing to move after the cooking cage 10 is reset after pouring the food.

[0088] The rest of the structure of this embodiment is the same as that of Embodiment 1 and will not be described again here.

[0089] Example 3

[0090] This embodiment provides a rotary cooking pot, both ends of the groove 13 are not open, and the remaining structures are the same as those of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, which will not be repeated here.

[0091] When this embodiment is adopted, after the swinging member 17 cooperates with the sliding groove 13, the cooking cage 10 cannot continue to move forward. At this time, the cooking cage 10 needs to be reset by the swinging driving mechanism, and the rotating part is driven to rotate in the opposite direction by the rotating driving mechanism. The rotating part retracts the cooking cage 10, so that the swinging member 17 is disengaged from the sliding groove 13. The swinging driving mechanism drives the swinging member to move in a direction away from the pot body again, and then the cooking cage 10 continues to move forward. After the cooking cage 10 moves a set distance, the swinging driving mechanism drives the swinging member 17 to move toward the pot body and reset, so as to flip the next cooking cage 10.

[0092] Example 4

[0093] This embodiment provides a method for operating the rotary cooking pot described in Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, such as Figure 6 As shown, the food to be steamed, such as dumplings, noodles, etc., is fed into the cooking cage 10 through the food feeding inlet, and the heating plate at the bottom of the pot body works to heat the food in the cooking cage.

[0094] When the food in a cooking cage 10 is cooked, the rotation drive motor 8 starts to work, driving the cooking cage 10 to move to the food delivery station 6. When the cooking cage 10 corresponding to the cooked food rotates to the food delivery station 6 with the turntable 7, the 90° bend 18 of the swing member 17 extends into the sliding groove 13 of the cooking cage 10, and the swing drive motor 14 starts to drive the swing member 17 to swing away from the pot body. The 90° bend 18 slides in the sliding groove 13 and drives the cooking cage 10 to flip. The cooking cage 10 flips and pours the steamed food inside it into the guide plate 20, which is then sent into the food placement container that has been pre-moved to the bottom of the discharge end of the guide plate 20. After the cooking cage 10 has finished dumping the food inside it, the swing drive motor 14 starts working, driving the swing member 17 to swing toward the direction of the pot body, the cooking cage 10 and the swing member 17 are reset, the turntable 7 continues to drive the cooking cage 10 to move, the cooking cage 10 passes over the swing member 17 through the opening of the pull groove 13, and the cooking cage 10 moves to the food delivery station, waiting for the next batch of food to be delivered into the cooking cage 10.

[0095] The rotary cooking pot and working method of the present embodiment only need to set up a swing drive motor 14 as a power device for the food delivery device, and only need to connect a swing member 17 to the swing drive mechanism and process a pull groove 13 on the cooking cage 10. The structure is simple, less equipment is used, and the cost of the equipment is reduced.

[0096] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
