[0034] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the following will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Examples of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, in which the same reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be interpreted as limiting the utility model.

[0035] The utility model discloses a cooking robot, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 ,include:

[0036] The seasoning bin 20 is connected to the frame 10, and the seasoning bin 20 has a discharge port 21 and has a discharge state and a closed state;

[0037] The barrier unit 30 is located between the pot 40 and the discharge port 21. The barrier unit 30 can move between a first posture and a second posture. When the seasoning bin 20 is in the discharge state, the barrier unit 30 is in the first posture; when the seasoning bin 20 is in the closed state, the barrier unit 30 is in the second posture.

[0038] The driving unit 50 is drivingly connected to the blocking unit 30 .

[0039] The seasoning bin 20 has a discharging state in which the seasoning is discharged, and a closed state in which the seasoning is not discharged. A barrier unit 30 is provided between the discharge port 21 and the pot 40. In the discharging state, the barrier unit 30 is in a first posture. In the first posture, the barrier unit 30 does not hinder the seasoning bin 20 from discharging, and the seasoning can enter the pot 40. In the closed state, the barrier unit 30 is in a second posture. In the second posture, the barrier unit 30 blocks the discharge port 21, so that when the pot 40 is heated and stir-fried, water vapor and other odor particles will not enter the seasoning bin 20 from the discharge port 21, so that the seasoning remains dry and maintains its original flavor. Compared with the prior art, the cooking robot disclosed in the present application can achieve the purpose of keeping the seasoning in the seasoning bin dry and avoiding cross-flavor.

[0040] During the cooking process, in addition to water vapor and odor particles that will affect the seasoning, the generated oil smoke will also affect the seasoning. Whether it is water vapor, odor particles or oil smoke, it will reduce the taste of the seasoning and even cause the seasoning to solidify and deteriorate. Excessive accumulation of oil smoke and solidification of the seasoning in the seasoning bin 20 will also cause the seasoning bin 20 to fail.

[0041] Specifically, the barrier unit 30 can be a structure such as a partition, a telescopic plate, an accordion cover or a roll. When the barrier unit 30 is a telescopic plate, the telescopic end of the telescopic plate is not extended in the first posture, and the telescopic end of the telescopic plate is extended in the second posture; when the barrier unit 30 is an accordion cover, the accordion cover is compressed in the first posture, and the accordion cover is stretched in the second posture; when the barrier unit 30 is a roll, the roll is curled in the first posture, and the roll is stretched in the second posture. Obviously, the barrier unit 30 can also be other structures that can play a shielding role and have a first posture and a second posture.

[0042] In addition, the driving unit 50 and the blocking unit 30 are driven and connected to drive the blocking unit 30 to achieve the first posture and the second posture. Therefore, it is necessary to select a corresponding driving unit 50 according to the specific selected blocking unit 30 to achieve the conversion between the first posture and the second posture.

[0043] The seasoning bin 20 is a structure for discharging and closing the seasoning, and its specific shape and structure are not limited. The discharge port 21 of the seasoning bin 20 is an outlet for delivering the seasoning from the seasoning bin 20 in the discharge state.

[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , there is at least one seasoning bin 20. The operator can arrange the number of seasoning bins 20 by himself, and place different types of seasonings in different seasoning bins 20, so as to increase the use scenarios and adaptability of the cooking robot. It should be explained that the seasoning in this application can be dry seasoning or wet seasoning.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 One or more seasoning bins 20 are detachably connected to the frame 10 through a material box mounting plate 18. The material box mounting plate 18 can make the seasoning bin 20 easy to take and put, and it can also facilitate operators to add seasoning and clean the seasoning bin 20.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The discharge port 21 and the pot 40 are arranged in a vertical direction, and the discharge port 21 is located above the pot 40.

[0047] In the present application, the position of the discharge port 21 relative to the pot 40 is not limited. It should be noted that when the pot 40 is stir-fried and heated, the escape direction of the water vapor and odor particles / the splashing direction of the oil smoke is not only upward, but also escapes / sputters in all directions (this situation will be more obvious when the air flow speed is faster), but it escapes / sputters more in the upward direction.

[0048] Specifically, the discharge port 21 is located above the pot 40, so that the seasoning can fall into the pot 40 under the action of its own gravity, making it more convenient to add the seasoning to the pot 40. Since water vapor / odor particles / oil smoke will dissipate more in the upward direction, and the barrier unit 30 is arranged between the pot 40 and the discharge port 21, the barrier unit 30 can effectively block the water vapor / odor particles / oil smoke, thereby preventing them from entering the seasoning bin 20.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The blocking unit 30 is a partition, and the partition is rotatably connected to the driving unit 50.

[0050] Specifically, the barrier unit 30 is a partition, and the partition is rotatably connected to the driving unit 50. When the seasoning bin 20 is in a closed state, the driving unit 50 drives the partition to rotate, and the partition can block the discharge port 21, thereby preventing the entry of water vapor / odor particles / oil smoke; when the seasoning bin 20 is in a discharge state, the driving unit 50 drives the partition to rotate and turns the partition open, thereby allowing the seasoning to be discharged normally.

[0051] Compared with the barrier unit 30 of other structures, the structure of the partition is simpler. The driving unit 50 can select a motor to convert the partition between the first posture and the second posture. Therefore, it is not easy to be damaged. At the same time, it will be easier to repair, replace and install, which is more conducive to reducing the cost of the cooking robot.

[0052] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The rotating shaft 31 of the partition is located on one side of the discharge port 21 .

[0053] Specifically, the rotating shaft 31 of the partition is located on one side of the discharge port 21 , and the rotating shaft 31 is connected to the driving unit 50 . The above arrangement enables the area of ​​the partition in the first posture to be larger, and will not affect the discharge of the seasoning bin 20 .

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The frame 10 has a containing chamber 11 , the seasoning bin 20 is assembled in the containing chamber 11 , the containing chamber 11 has an opening 13 , and the discharge port 21 is located at the opening 13 .

[0055] Specifically, the frame 10 has a receiving chamber 11, and the seasoning bin 20 is located in the receiving chamber 11. The above arrangement is because, on the one hand, there are many kinds of seasonings that need to be added during cooking, and different dishes need different seasonings. Different kinds of seasonings cannot be placed in one seasoning bin 20, and through the receiving chamber 11, more seasoning bins 20 can be loaded; on the other hand, in order to protect the seasoning bin 20 from the influence of the humid environment and prevent the seasoning bin 20 from being damaged, this is because the kitchen environment is often very humid and people move around frequently. That is, the cooking robot disclosed in this application can not only prevent the influence of water vapor / odor particles / oil smoke on the seasoning, but also prevent the influence of the humid environment on the seasoning.

[0056] The opening 13 is provided to leave an outlet for the seasoning to be discharged from the accommodating chamber 11 into the pot 40 .

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The accommodating chamber 11 has an opening and closing door 16, and the seasoning bin 20 can be taken out of the accommodating chamber 11 or put into the seasoning bin 20 by opening the opening and closing door 16, making it more convenient to add and replace materials and replace and repair the seasoning bin 20.

[0058] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The frame 10 has a placement chamber 12 , the placement chamber 12 and the accommodating chamber 11 are separated by a partition plate 14 , and the driving unit 50 is connected in the placement chamber 12 .

[0059] It should be noted that the frame 10 has a placement chamber 12, which is used to place other structural units such as the drive unit 50. By setting the placement chamber 12, the drive unit 50 can have a suitable space for operation, and it is also convenient for arranging the circuits of the cooking robot so that the circuits are located in the placement chamber 12 and will not enter the accommodation chamber 11, thereby causing dangerous electrical accidents. In addition, it is not easy for seasoning to enter the placement chamber 12, thereby affecting the normal operation of the drive unit 50 or other structures.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 At least one side of the accommodating chamber 11 has a transparent viewing window 15 .

[0061] The setting of the viewing window 15 allows the operator to observe the situation of the seasoning bin 20 in the accommodating chamber 11 from the outside, and obtain information about the type of seasoning and whether seasoning needs to be added.

[0062] Preferably, please refer to Figure 1 The viewing window 15 is arranged on the opening and closing door 16. It is more convenient and easier to observe the condition of the seasoning in the accommodating chamber 11 during use.

[0063] For more specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The accommodating chamber 11 is connected to a lighting unit 60 .

[0064] Specifically, the accommodating chamber 11 is connected to the axial lighting unit 60 , and the lighting unit 60 can make the operator more clearly understand the internal situation of the accommodating chamber 11 .

[0065] Preferably, the lighting unit 60 is a spotlight, so as to obtain a better lighting effect. Obviously, the lighting unit 60 can also be other types of light-emitting components such as LED lights.

[0066] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 , further comprising a dehumidification unit 70, the dehumidification unit 70 being communicated with the accommodating chamber 11.
