Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen furniture, in particular to a food pushing device and cooking equipment. Background Art

[0002] At present, there is a type of cooking device equipped with a cooking pot, a rice box device and a rice grain pumping device. The rice box device is used to hold raw rice and has a rice outlet. The rice grain pumping device is used to pump the rice grains in the rice box device from the rice outlet to the cooking pot. The problem with the existing cooking device is that the rice grain pumping device can only suck out the rice grains near the rice outlet, and the rice grain pumping device cannot suck out the rice grains farther from the rice outlet, resulting in interruption of the rice grain pumping and transportation. The user needs to open the rice box device and manually push the remaining rice grains to the rice outlet so that the rice grain pumping device can suck out the rice grains when cooking next time. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a food pushing device and a cooking device which can be used in conjunction with a food conveying device so as to efficiently and smoothly convey food outwards.

[0004] The food pushing device provided by the utility model includes a container and a pushing piece. The container has a material cavity and a material opening that are communicated with each other. The pushing piece includes a pushing part arranged in the material cavity. The material cavity includes a compacting cavity. The compacting cavity is located on a side of the pushing part that is relatively close to the material opening. The pushing part can move in the material cavity toward or away from the material opening. The volume of the compacting cavity decreases as the pushing part approaches the material opening, and increases as the pushing part moves away from the material opening.

[0005] The food pushing device of the present invention reduces the volume of the compacting chamber by controlling the pushing member to move closer to the material opening, so that the food in the compacting chamber that is farther away from the material opening is pushed to a position closer to the material opening by the pushing member. The food in the compacting chamber is compacted as the volume of the compacting chamber shrinks, so that the food entering the material opening is more evenly compacted, so that the food conveying device can obtain the food smoothly and in sufficient quantity. When the food pushing device is used in conjunction with the food conveying device, the food can be efficiently and smoothly conveyed to the cooking pot, preventing the food conveying device from being forced to interrupt its acquisition and transportation of food due to lack of food near the material opening.

[0006] In one embodiment, the pushing part also includes a driving motor and an electrical signal monitor. The driving motor drives the pushing part, and the electrical signal monitor is used to monitor the working current of the driving motor. The electrical signal monitor is used to control the driving motor to stop running when the working current reaches a preset stall current, and control the driving motor to start running when the working current is less than the preset stall current.

[0007] With such a configuration, the food pushing device can drive the pushing part through the driving motor to automatically push the food toward the material port, without the need for the user to manually push the food toward the material port, thereby improving the use convenience of the food pushing device. In addition, the working current reaches the preset stall current as a basis for determining whether the food in the compacting chamber is compacted by the pushing part and the inner wall of the material chamber. After it is determined that the food in the compacting chamber is compacted, the pushing part can be stopped in time from pushing the food toward the material port, thereby reducing the power consumption of the driving motor.

[0008] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the material cavity and the material pushing portion are slidably matched.

[0009] With such arrangement, in the process of the pushing part moving toward the material port and contracting the compacting chamber, the food in the compacting chamber can all move toward the material port under the pushing action of the pushing part, thereby suppressing to the greatest extent the transfer of food from between the pushing part and the inner wall of the material chamber to the side of the pushing part away from the material port, thereby preventing food from remaining on the side of the pushing part away from the material port for a long time and contaminating the container.

[0010] In one embodiment, the container includes a carrier plate and a baffle with a material opening, the baffle is arranged at the periphery of the carrier plate and together with the carrier plate forms a material cavity, the baffle is away from the edge of the carrier plate and together forms a feeding port, and the carrier plate and the baffle both form a sliding fit with the pushing part.

[0011] With this arrangement, the container structure is similar to a box, and the delivery port makes it convenient for users to pour purchased or homemade ingredients directly into the material cavity. In the process of the pushing part moving toward the material port and causing the compacting cavity to shrink, the ingredients in the compacting cavity can all move toward the material port under the pushing action of the pushing part.

[0012] In one embodiment, the pushing member also includes a driver and a traction part which are connected and can move relative to each other along a preset traction trajectory. The driver is arranged at one of the container and the pushing part, and the traction part is arranged at the other of the container and the pushing part. The pushing part can be driven to move along the preset traction trajectory.

[0013] With such arrangement, the pushing part can approach the material port along a determined moving trajectory, and mathematical operation relationships can be established between the position of the pushing part in the material cavity and the volume of the compacting cavity, as well as between the movement amount of the pushing part approaching the material port and the volume change of the compacting cavity, thereby facilitating the calculation of the displacement amount of the pushing part when it moves toward the material port, the amount of food delivered and the amount of food remaining.

[0014] In one embodiment, the driver includes a drive motor and a gear, the traction part includes a rack connected to the pushing part, the drive motor is arranged in the container, the gear is connected to the drive motor and meshes with the rack, the rack extends in a direction parallel to a preset traction trajectory and can move in a straight line.

[0015] With such arrangement, the driver drives the rack to move accurately and stably along the preset traction trajectory, thereby indirectly driving the pushing part to push the food toward the material port accurately and stably along the preset traction trajectory. The movement of the pushing part in the process of approaching the material port corresponds one to one with the volume change of the compacting chamber.

[0016] In one embodiment, the container includes a baffle wall, the compaction cavity is located between the pushing portion and the baffle wall, the baffle wall has a convergence cavity open to the pushing portion, and the material port is opened at the bottom of the convergence cavity.

[0017] With such arrangement, the food in the compacting chamber is gradually concentrated in the gathering chamber under the pushing action of the pushing part, and then the food in the gathering chamber tends to be evenly compacted under the pushing action of the pushing part, thereby avoiding the situation where the food entering the material port has local looseness inside, ensuring that the actual delivery amount of a single food push is equal to the volume change of the compacting chamber when the pushing part moves close to the material port, thereby achieving the purpose of using the food pushing device to supply sufficient food to the food conveying device.

[0018] In one embodiment, the retaining wall includes a first inclined wall and a second inclined wall arranged at an angle, the convergence cavity is located between the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall, and the material port is opened at the connection between the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall.

[0019] With such arrangement, as the pushing portion pushes the food into the convergence chamber, the first inclined wall and the second inclined wall guide the food, thereby guiding the food toward the material opening, so that a sufficient amount of food enters the material opening and is subsequently captured and conveyed by the food conveying device.

[0020] In one embodiment, the container also includes a baffle wall with a material opening, and the food pushing device also includes a tracker and a rangefinder. The tracker is arranged at the material pushing part, and the rangefinder is arranged at the container. The rangefinder is used to sense the position of the tracker to measure the distance from the material pushing part to the baffle wall.

[0021] With such an arrangement, the distance between the pushing part and the baffle wall can be sensed by the rangefinder at the beginning and end of a food pushing operation, and then the shortening of the distance between the pushing part and the baffle wall can be calculated. Subsequently, the shortening of the distance can be used as the displacement of the pushing part, and then substituted into the calculation relationship between the displacement of the pushing part and the food delivery amount, so as to determine the actual result of the food delivery amount of this food pushing operation.

[0022] In one embodiment, the container also includes a partition, one side of the partition is provided with a material cavity and a pushing portion, and the other side is provided with a slide groove extending to the barrier wall. The tracker includes a first magnet movably arranged on the slide groove, and also includes a second magnet arranged on the pushing portion. The first magnet is magnetically connected to the second magnet. The rangefinder is located at the bottom end of the slide groove and is used to sense the distance from the first magnet to the barrier wall.

[0023] With such a configuration, the rangefinder can sense the distance between the first magnet and the barrier wall in real time, and use the sensing result as the distance from the pushing part to the barrier wall. It can also prevent the tracker and the rangefinder from being affected by the food in the compaction cavity. The food gradually becomes evenly dense under the push of the pushing part, which will not affect the sensing process of the displacement of the pushing part and the accuracy of the sensing result.

[0024] In one embodiment, the pushing member further includes a driver connected to the pushing portion, and the food pushing device further includes an odometer connected to the driver, and the odometer is used to measure the movement stroke of the pushing portion.

[0025] With such arrangement, the odometer can be used to sense the driving stroke of the driver when driving the pushing part to approach the material port during a food pushing operation, and then the sensed driving stroke can be substituted into the driving stroke-pushing part active stroke relationship formula to determine the displacement of the pushing part during this food pushing operation, and then the displacement of the pushing part can be substituted into the calculation relationship between the displacement of the pushing part and the food delivery amount, and finally the actual result of the food delivery amount of this food pushing operation can be determined.

[0026] The cooking device provided by the utility model comprises a food material conveying device and a food material pushing device. The food material conveying device comprises a conveyor and a sucker. One end of the conveyor is connected to a material port, and the sucker is used to suck food materials from the material port into the conveyor.

[0027] The cooking device of the utility model can realize efficient and smooth food delivery to the cooking pot, overcoming the problem that the food delivery device of the existing similar products cannot smoothly obtain food due to lack of food near the material inlet during use, and avoiding the forced interruption of the food delivery device in transporting food outward.

[0028] In one embodiment, the cooking device further comprises a body and a cooking pot disposed on the body, and the other end of the conductor is connected to the inner cavity of the cooking pot;

[0029] The container can be reciprocated between the preset pushing station and the preset collecting station relative to the machine body, and the container is provided with a delivery port connected to the material cavity;

[0030] When the container is located at a preset pushing position, it enters the machine body, and the cooking pot is suspended relative to the container. When the container is located at a preset collecting position, at least the delivery port extends out of the machine body.

[0031] With such an arrangement, the cooking device of the present invention has a more reasonable structure. When food is placed in the container, the center of gravity of the entire cooking device is lower, the overall posture is more stable and not easily tipped over by external interference. When the container reaches the preset collection station, the user can more conveniently pour purchased or homemade food from the input port into the material cavity, and then send the container back to the preset pushing station.

[0032] The utility model also discloses a method for monitoring the amount of food based on the food pushing device, the method comprising:

[0033] In response to the food pushing instruction, the displacement value of the pushing part moving close to the material opening is calculated, and the calculated displacement value is used as the displacement value of the pushing part;

[0034] The amount of food delivered is calculated based on the relationship between the displacement value of the pusher and the amount of food delivered;

[0035] Obtaining the total amount of food delivered according to the sum of the amounts of food delivered in all previous food pushes since the container was most recently replenished with food;

[0036] The remaining amount of food is obtained based on the difference between the maximum volume of the compacting chamber and the total amount of food delivered.

[0037] Based on the food quantity monitoring method of the utility model, the user can more conveniently know the amount of remaining food in the container when using the food pushing device, and thus determine whether to refill the container with food, without the user having to open the food pushing device and personally calculate the amount of remaining food in the container.

[0038] In one embodiment, when the container further includes a baffle wall with a material opening, the food pushing device further includes a tracker and a distance meter, the tracker is arranged at the material pushing portion, the distance meter is arranged at the container, and the distance meter is used to sense the position of the tracker to measure the distance from the material pushing portion to the baffle wall;

[0039] The displacement value of the pusher moving close to the material inlet is calculated as follows:

[0040] The shortened distance between the material pushing part and the retaining wall sensed by the rangefinder and the tracker is obtained, and the shortened distance is used as the displacement value of the material pushing part when it moves close to the material opening.

[0041] With such an arrangement, the displacement of the pusher part measured is more accurate and reliable, and the displacement of the pusher part is measured more simply.

[0042] In one embodiment, when the pushing member further includes a driver connected to the pushing portion, and the food pushing device further includes an odometer connected to the driver, and the odometer is used to measure the moving stroke of the pushing portion;

[0043] The displacement value of the pusher moving close to the material inlet is calculated as follows:

[0044] The driving stroke when the driver drives the material pushing part to approach the material opening is obtained through the odometer sensing;

[0045] According to the relationship between the driving stroke and the moving stroke of the pushing part, the displacement value of the pushing part moving close to the material opening is obtained.

[0046] With such an arrangement, the displacement of the pusher part measured is more accurate and reliable, and the displacement of the pusher part is measured more simply.

[0047] In one embodiment, the food quantity monitoring method further includes:

[0048] Compare the remaining amount of food with the lower limit of the preset food storage amount;

[0049] If the remaining amount of food is less than the preset lower limit of food storage, a reminder message to refill the container will be pushed.

[0050] With this arrangement, the food pushing device is more user-friendly and further improves the user satisfaction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0058] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "or / and" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0059] The utility model provides a food pushing device 100, a cooking device including the food pushing device 100 and a food conveying device, and also provides a food quantity monitoring method based on the food pushing device 100. The food pushing device 100 is used in conjunction with the food conveying device, and the two cooperate to convey the food in the food pushing device 100 to a designated food container. The food container can be a cooking pot 60, or a container such as a bowl, a bottle, or a jar for holding food.

[0060] The food pushing device 100 and the cooking equipment of the present invention are applicable to any type of food, which may be granular food such as rice, wheat, beans, etc., or powdered food such as various powdered seasonings, or a mixture of a variety of different food ingredients.

[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 3 The food pushing device 100 of the utility model includes a container 10 for placing food, and the container 10 has a material cavity 11 and a material opening 12 that are connected. The material cavity 11 serves as a space for placing food, and the material opening 12 allows food placed in the material cavity 11 to enter and leave the container 10. The food conveying device is used in conjunction with the food pushing device 100 to form a cooking device, including a guide 70 and an aspirator 80. One end of the guide 70 is connected to the material opening 12 for receiving food entering the material opening 12. The aspirator 80 is used to suck food from the material opening 12 into the guide 70. The other end of the guide 70 can discharge the food in the guide 70 into a designated food container.

[0062] In some embodiments, the cooking device also includes a cooking pot 60, one end of the conveyor 70 is connected to the inner cavity of the cooking pot 60, and after the suction device 80 starts to operate, one end of the conveyor 70 obtains the food in the container 10 through the material port 12, and the food enters the conveyor 70 from the material port 12 under the suction action of the suction device 80 and moves along the conveyor 70, and finally the food in the conveyor 70 is discharged from the other end of the conveyor 70 into the cooking pot 60.

[0063] After the food near the material opening 12 is conveyed to the cooking pot 60 or other food holding container by the food conveying device, the food in the material cavity 11 that is far from the material opening 12 cannot be smoothly obtained by the food conveying device, which will cause the food conveying to be forced to be interrupted. In view of this, the food pushing device 100 of the utility model also includes a pushing member 20, which is movably arranged relative to the container 10, and includes a pushing portion 21 arranged in the material cavity 11. Due to the arrangement of the pushing portion 21, the material cavity 11 includes a compacting cavity 111, and the compacting cavity 111 is located on a side of the pushing portion 21 that is relatively close to the material opening 12; since the pushing portion 21 can move close to the material opening 12 and away from the material opening 12, the volume of the compacting cavity 111 can be changed, and the volume of the compacting cavity 111 decreases as the pushing portion 21 moves close to the material opening 12, and increases as the pushing portion 21 moves away from the material opening 12.

[0064] With such arrangement, as the pushing member 20 pushes the material relative to the container 10, the pushing portion 21 moves toward the material opening 12 and pushes the food in the compacting chamber 111 toward the material opening 12 at the same time, until the food in the compacting chamber 111 is compacted to a uniform and dense state by the pushing portion 21 and the inner wall of the material chamber 11, at which time the volume of the compacting chamber 111 is equal to the volume of the food in the compacting chamber 111, and the pushing portion 21 stops moving toward the material opening 12, so that the food conveying device can operate to suck the food, and the food is sucked into the material opening 12 under the suction of the aspirator 80 and then enters the guide 70, and finally the guide 70 discharges the food to the cooking pot 60 or other food holding container. When a part of the food in the compacting chamber 111 enters the food holding container, the pushing member 20 can continue to push the material, and the pushing portion 21 continues to approach the material opening 12 based on the last pause position, thereby continuing to push the remaining food in the compacting chamber 111 toward the material opening 12.

[0065] After all the food in the compacting chamber 111 is transported outward by the food conveying device, the pushing member 20 can be controlled to reset relative to the container 10, and the pushing portion 21 moves away from the material port 12 to expand the volume of the compacting chamber 111 until the pushing portion 21 reaches the farthest position from the material port 12. At this time, the volume of the compacting chamber 111 reaches the maximum, and the maximum volume of the compacting chamber 111 is equal to or approximately equal to the volume of the material chamber 11. Finally, the user loads the purchased or homemade food into the compacting chamber 111. It can be understood that the user can also load the food into the compacting chamber 111 before the volume of the compacting chamber 111 reaches the maximum volume, without waiting for the pushing portion 21 to reach the farthest position from the material port 12.

[0066] See also Figure 2 , and also see Figure 3The container 10 includes a carrier plate 13 and a plurality of baffles 14, the plurality of baffles 14 are arranged at the periphery of the carrier plate 13, the plurality of baffles 14 and the carrier plate 13 together form a material cavity 11, the plurality of baffles 14 are away from the edge of the carrier plate 13 to form a delivery port 15 connected to the material cavity 11, the delivery port 15 can be used for users to pour purchased or homemade food into the material cavity 11, the baffle 14 includes a baffle wall 141 with a material port 12, and the compacting cavity 111 is formed between the pushing portion 21 and the baffle wall 141. The pushing portion 21 can move closer to the baffle wall 141 as the pushing member 20 pushes the material and reduces the volume of the compacting cavity 111, and can move away from the baffle wall 141 as the pushing member 20 performs a reset activity and increases the volume of the compacting cavity 111.

[0067] It should be noted that in order to ensure that all the food in the container 10 can be pushed by the pushing portion 21, the user pours the food into the compacting chamber 111 through the feeding port 15. This can prevent the food from accumulating on the side of the pushing portion 21 that is relatively far away from the material port 12. The food accumulated on the side of the pushing portion 21 that is relatively far away from the material port 12 cannot be obtained by the food conveying device for a long time, which can easily cause this part of the residual food to deteriorate and thus contaminate the container 10.

[0068] Optionally, the pusher 21 may be a plate-shaped structure, and a sliding fit is formed between the inner wall of the cavity 11 and the pusher 21. Figure 2-3 As shown, the baffle 14 also includes two partitions 142 facing each other and spaced apart, the pushing portion 21 is a rectangular plate-shaped member, the pushing portion 21, the baffle wall 141 and the two partitions 142 together enclose the compaction cavity 111, one of the long sides of the pushing portion 21 forms a sliding fit with the carrier plate 13, and the two short sides of the pushing portion 21 that are arranged away from each other form a sliding fit with the two partitions 142. With such a configuration, when the pushing portion 21 moves close to the baffle wall 141 to reduce the compaction cavity 111, the food in the compaction cavity 111 can move close to the baffle wall 141 under the push of the pushing portion 21, and the food can be prevented from transferring from between the inner wall of the cavity 11 and the pushing portion 21 to the side of the pushing portion 21 away from the baffle wall 141.

[0069] In some embodiments, the pusher 20 further includes a driver 22 and a traction part 23 connected to each other, wherein the driver 22 is disposed in one of the container 10 and the pusher 21, and the traction part 23 is disposed in the other of the container 10 and the pusher 21, and the driver 22 and the traction part 23 can move relative to each other along a preset traction track. Driven by the driver 22, the traction part 23 moves along the preset traction track, thereby driving the pusher 21 to move along the preset traction track and approach the material port 12, and also driving the pusher 21 to move along the preset traction track and move away from the material port 12. With such a configuration, the food pushing device 100 can realize that the pusher 20 automatically performs pushing and resetting activities, thereby realizing that the pusher 21 automatically approaches the material port 12 and automatically moves away from the material port 12, without the need for the user to open the container 10 to manually control the pusher 21.

[0070] See also Figure 2-3 In some embodiments, the driver 22 includes a driving motor 221, a gear 222 and a motor seat 223. The traction portion 23 includes a rack 231 fixedly connected to the pushing portion 21. The motor seat 223 is fixedly connected to the container 10. The driving motor 221 is installed on the motor seat 223. The gear 222 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 221 and meshes with the rack 231. The rack 231 extends in a direction parallel to a preset traction trajectory and can move linearly back and forth relative to the container 10 along the preset traction trajectory. When the pushing piece 20 performs a pushing activity, the driving motor 221 drives the gear 222 to rotate, and the rack 231 is driven by the gear 222 to translate along a preset traction trajectory, and the pushing portion 21 follows the rack 231 to move along the preset traction trajectory to approach the blocking wall 141; when the pushing piece 20 performs a resetting activity, the driving motor 221 drives the gear 222 to rotate, and the rack 231 is driven by the gear 222 to translate along the preset traction trajectory, and the pushing portion 21 follows the rack 231 to move along the preset traction trajectory to move away from the blocking wall 141.

[0071] Figure 4 In the food pushing device 100 shown, the pushing part 21 is a flat plate structure perpendicular to the preset traction track. The side of the baffle 141 away from the pushing part 21 is provided with a docking part for connecting to the conveyor 70. The material opening 12 passes through the baffle 141 and the docking part. When the docking part is connected to the conveyor 70, the material opening 12 is connected to the inside of the conveyor 70. The pushing part 21 and the baffle 141 are parallel to each other, and both are perpendicular to the preset traction track and the rack 231. Therefore, the spatial shape of the compacting cavity 111 is similar to a rectangular parallelepiped. Figure 4From the perspective shown, the extension direction of the preset traction trajectory is a horizontal straight line direction. In the process of the pushing portion 21 translating along the preset traction trajectory to approach or move away from the blocking wall 141, the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing portion 21 is proportional to the volume change ΔV of the compacting chamber 111. The proportional coefficient k of ΔL and ΔV is specifically: the cross-sectional area of ​​the cross section obtained after cutting the compacting chamber 111 with a plane perpendicular to the preset traction trajectory.

[0072] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the pushing portion 21 does not have to be perpendicular to the preset traction trajectory, the baffle wall 141 does not have to be perpendicular to the preset traction trajectory, the spatial shape of the compaction chamber 111 does not have to be a rectangular parallelepiped, and the cross-section obtained after cutting the compaction chamber 111 with a plane perpendicular to the preset traction trajectory can also be other shapes. The proportional coefficient k between the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing portion 21 and the volume change ΔV of the compaction chamber 111 can also be a variable value, that is, the value of the proportional coefficient k is related to the selected position of the plane cutting the compaction chamber 111. In this case, although ΔL and ΔV are no longer proportional, there is still a one-to-one correspondence between the two and an operational relationship exists. Based on the knowledge of ΔL, ΔV can be obtained by integral operation.

[0073] Therefore, during a food pushing operation, as long as the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing portion 21 moving along the preset traction track close to the baffle wall 141 is known, the volume reduction ΔV of the compacting chamber 111 can be obtained. Furthermore, if the food in the compacting chamber 111 is always kept in a uniform and dense state during the food pushing operation, the volume reduction ΔV of the compacting chamber 111 is the food delivery volume of this food pushing operation, and the food delivery volume can be calculated based on the food density and the food delivery volume of this food pushing operation.

[0074] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the pusher 20 further includes an electric signal monitor connected to the drive motor 221, and the electric signal monitor is used to monitor the working current of the drive motor 221. When the electric signal monitor detects that the working current is less than the preset stall current, the electric signal monitor controls the drive motor 221 to start running, and the drive motor 221 drives the pusher 21 to move closer to the baffle wall 141, thereby pushing the food closer to the baffle wall 141 and contracting the compaction cavity 111; when the electric signal monitor detects that the working current reaches the preset stall current, the electric signal monitor controls the drive motor 221 to stop running, and the pusher 21 pauses at the current position.

[0075] With such an arrangement, the working current reaching the preset stall current can be used as a basis for determining whether the food in the compacting chamber 111 has been compacted. Based on this basis for determination, the drive motor 221 can be stopped in time after the food is compacted to prevent the drive motor 221 from continuing to output power and wasting power consumption. The risk of failure of the drive motor 221 can also be reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the food pushing device 100 and ensuring that the food in the compacting chamber 111 is in a uniformly dense state during each food pushing operation. The volume reduction of the compacting chamber 111 is equivalent to the food delivery volume. This not only makes it easier for the food conveying device to successfully obtain the food near the material port 12 when the food is pushed next time, but also makes the measurement result of the food delivery amount more accurate, thereby more accurately calculating the remaining amount of food in the compacting chamber 111 based on the maximum volume of the compacting chamber 111.

[0076] Specifically, the preset stall current value is an inherent property of the drive motor 221, and a stall current will be generated when the output power of the drive motor 221 is insufficient to drive the load. As mentioned above, as the pusher 21 gradually approaches the baffle wall 141 and gradually pushes the food in the compacting chamber 111 to approach the baffle wall 141, the food in the compacting chamber 111 gradually tends to a uniform and dense state. During this process, the driving force output by the drive motor 221 to the pusher 21 is sufficient to overcome the force of the food reacting to the pusher 21, so that during this process, the working current of the drive motor 221 is less than the preset stall current; when the food in the compacting chamber 111 is compacted by the pusher 21 and the baffle wall 141, the pusher 21 cannot further approach the material port 12 and the baffle wall 141, and at this time, the driving force output by the drive motor 221 to the pusher 21 is insufficient to overcome the reaction force of the pusher 21, so that at this time, the working current of the drive motor 221 reaches the preset stall current.

[0077] Optionally, see Figure 2 to Figure 4 The retaining wall 141 is also provided with a through hole 1414 for the rack 231 to pass through. The rack 231 can reciprocate in the through hole 1414 along a preset traction track. The rack 231 is meshed with the gear 222 on the side of the retaining wall 141 away from the material chamber 11. After passing through the through hole 1414, the rack 231 is connected to the pusher 21 on the other side of the retaining wall 141 away from the gear 222.

[0078] In other embodiments, the driver 22 can also be connected to the pushing part 21 outside the material chamber 11, and the traction part 23 can also be fixed on the container 10. In addition, the driver 22 can also be replaced by a push rod motor, and the traction part 23 can also be replaced by a transmission rod. The two ends of the transmission rod are respectively connected to the output end of the push rod motor and the pushing part 21. The axis of the transmission rod is parallel to the preset traction trajectory and can reciprocate axially under the drive of the push rod motor, thereby driving the pushing part 21 to move along the preset traction close to the material port 12 or away from the material port 12.

[0079] In some embodiments, the food pushing device 100 further includes a tracker 30 and a distance meter 40. The tracker 30 is disposed on the pushing portion 21, and the distance meter 40 is disposed on the container 10. The distance meter 40 is used to sense the position of the tracker 30 and determine the position of the pushing portion 21 in the material cavity 11, thereby measuring the distance from the pushing portion 21 to the baffle wall 141. At the beginning of a food pushing operation, the distance L1 from the pushing portion 21 to the baffle wall 141 is measured using the distance meter 40 and the tracker 30. At the end of the food pushing operation, the distance L2 from the pushing portion 21 to the baffle wall 141 is measured again using the distance meter 40 and the tracker 30. The difference between L1 and L2 is the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing portion 21 moving toward the material port 12 during the food pushing operation. With such a configuration, the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing portion 21 can be determined more easily and accurately.

[0080] Specifically, see Figure 2 , see also Figure 4-5 As mentioned above, the baffle 14 also includes a partition 142 that can be combined with the pushing portion 21 and the baffle wall 141 to form the material chamber 11. One side of at least one partition 142 is provided with a slide groove 143 extending to the baffle wall 141, and the other side is used to form the inner wall of the material chamber 11 and is provided with the pushing portion 21. The extension direction of the slide groove 143 is parallel to the preset traction trajectory. The length of the slide groove 143 is equivalent to the maximum one-way movement of the pushing portion 21 in the material chamber 11. The one-way movement refers to the pushing portion 21 moving from the farthest point to the baffle wall 141 to the closest point to the baffle wall 141, or the pushing portion 21 moving from the closest point to the baffle wall 141 to the farthest point to the baffle wall 141. The rangefinder 40 is arranged on the retaining wall 141 and is located at the bottom end of the slide groove 143. The tracker 30 includes a first magnet 31 and a second magnet 32. The first magnet 31 is movably arranged in the slide groove 143. The second magnet 32 ​​is arranged in the pushing portion 21 and is magnetically connected to the first magnet 31. The magnetic field between the first magnet 31 and the second magnet 32 ​​passes through the partition 142. The second magnet 32 ​​follows the pushing portion 21 to translate along a preset traction trajectory. The first magnet 31 remains stationary relative to the second magnet 32 ​​and can translate synchronously in the slide groove 143 in a direction parallel to the preset traction trajectory.

[0081] The distance meter 40 is used to sense the distance from the first magnet 31 to the distance meter 40, and the distance is used as the distance from the pusher 21 to the baffle wall 141. When the pusher 21 moves to the position farthest from the baffle wall 141, the first magnet 31 follows the second magnet 32 ​​arranged on the pusher 21 to move horizontally and arrives at the initial end of the chute 143. The initial end of the chute 143 is the end farthest from the baffle wall 141 in the chute 143 and the end farthest from the bottom end of the chute 143. When the pusher 21 moves to the position closest to the baffle wall 141, the first magnet 31 follows the second magnet 32 ​​to move horizontally and arrives at the bottom end of the chute 143. The bottom end of the chute 143 extends to the baffle wall 141. In this way, the distance meter 40 located outside the material cavity 11 can measure the distance between the first magnet 31 outside the material cavity 11 and the distance meter 40, and will not affect the movement of the food in the compacting cavity 111.

[0082] In other embodiments, the rangefinder 40 can also be fixedly connected to the first magnet 31 and the second magnet 32 ​​can be retained, so that the rangefinder 40 follows the first magnet 31 to slide in the slide groove 143, and the rangefinder 40 can measure the distance between the retaining wall 141 and the rangefinder 40, and the measured result can be used as the distance from the pushing part 21 to the retaining wall 141.

[0083] In some embodiments, the food pushing device 100 further includes an odometer connected to the driver 22, and the odometer is used to measure the active stroke of the pushing part 21. Specifically, the odometer can directly measure the driving stroke of the driver 22 during a food pushing operation, for example, by using the odometer to measure the rotation angle of the output shaft of the driving motor 221, and then according to the driving stroke-pushing part active stroke relationship, the actual displacement stroke of the pushing part 21 during the food pushing operation is obtained. Figure 2 For the food pushing device 100 shown, the driving stroke is the rotation angle of the output shaft of the driving motor 221, the movable stroke of the pushing part 21 is equivalent to the moving stroke of the rack 231 along the preset traction trajectory, and the driving stroke is proportional to the translation distance of the rack 231 along the preset traction trajectory.

[0084] For other embodiments, for example, the driver 22 is replaced by a push rod motor, and the traction part 23 is replaced by a transmission rod, the two ends of the transmission rod are respectively connected to the output end of the push rod motor and the pushing part 21, and the axis of the transmission rod is parallel to the preset traction trajectory. The push rod motor can drive the transmission rod to reciprocate axially, so that the pushing part 21 follows the transmission rod to translate along the preset traction trajectory close to or away from the material port 12, and the driving stroke is the distance that the transmission rod translates axially, and the driving stroke is numerically equal to the active stroke of the pushing part 21.

[0085] In some embodiments, the retaining wall 141 has a converging cavity 1413 open to the material pushing portion 21, and the material port 12 is opened at the bottom of the converging cavity 1413. Figure 5The retaining wall 141 includes a first slanted wall 1411 and a second slanted wall 1412 connected to each other, the converging cavity 1413 is concave inwardly away from the pushing portion 21, and the material port 12 is opened at the connection between the first slanted wall 1411 and the second slanted wall 1412. Optionally, Figure 5 In the food pushing device 100 shown, the first inclined wall 1411 and the second inclined wall 1412 are arranged at a V-shaped angle, and the gathering cavity 1413 is a space area constructed by the V-shaped angle. The first inclined wall 1411 and the second inclined wall 1412 can guide the arriving food to the connection between the two, so that the food is gathered near the material port 12. Such an arrangement further improves the concentration of the food arriving near the material port 12, that is, the food arriving near the material port 12 is concentrated in the more cramped gathering cavity 1413, so that it can be more easily obtained by the food conveying device.

[0086] Further, see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cooking device further comprises a body 50, a cooking pot 60 is disposed on the body 50, and the container 10 is movably disposed relative to the body 50, and the container 10 can move back and forth relative to the body 50 between a preset pushing station and a preset collecting station. When the container 10 reaches the preset pushing station, the container 10 is located in the body 50, and the cooking pot 60 is suspended relative to the container 10. When the cooking device is used normally, the cooking pot 60 is higher than the container 10 in the vertical direction. When food is placed in the container 10, the center of gravity of the cooking device can be lowered to improve the stability of the cooking device; when the container 10 reaches the preset collecting station, at least a portion of the container 10 extends out of the body 50, and the delivery port 15 is located outside the body 50 so that the user can pour additional food into the compacting cavity 111.

[0087] Optionally, the body 50 includes a sliding rail, the two ends of which extend to the preset pushing station and the preset collecting station respectively, and the container 10 is slidably connected to the sliding rail, and can move back and forth between the preset pushing station and the preset collecting station along the sliding rail. In this way, the container 10 is similar to a drawer that can slide out of the body 50 and slide into the body 50 along the sliding rail, which improves the user's convenience.

[0088] for Figure 3 In the cooking device shown, the container 10 used in the food pushing device 100 is approximately in the shape of a flat box. When the cooking device is in normal use, the loading port 15 of the container 10 is opened vertically upward, so that the user can quickly pour additional food into the compacting cavity 111. When food is placed in the container 10, it can help lower the center of gravity height of the cooking device, improve the posture stability of the cooking device, and the cooking device can resist external interference without tipping over, and the overall size of the cooking device in the vertical direction can be reduced.

[0089] The following is an introduction to the food quantity monitoring method of the present invention. The method is based on the food pushing device 100 and the cooking device of the present invention, and is used to determine the amount of food remaining in the container 10 (referred to as the remaining amount of food) and the amount of food delivered to the food container each time (referred to as the food delivery amount), and includes the following steps:

[0090] S10, responding to the food pushing instruction, calculating the displacement value of the pushing part moving close to the material opening, and using the calculated displacement value as the displacement value of the pushing part;

[0091] S20, calculating the amount of food delivered according to the relationship between the displacement value of the pushing part and the amount of food delivered;

[0092] S30, obtaining a total amount of food delivered according to the sum of the amounts of food delivered in all previous food pushes since the container was last replenished with food;

[0093] S40, obtaining the remaining amount of food according to the difference between the maximum volume of the compacting cavity and the total amount of food delivered.

[0094] The above method can be performed when the pushing member 20 performs pushing activity so as to reduce the volume of the compacting chamber 111; the food pushing instruction can be generated by the driver 22 when driving the pushing part 21 to start pushing food, or can be generated when the cooking device has human-computer interaction between the user and the cooking device, and the driver 22 is controlled by human-computer interaction to drive the pushing part 21 to push food; there is a one-to-one correspondence between the position of the pushing part 21 in the material chamber 11 and the volume of the compacting chamber 111, and during the pushing activity of the pushing member 20 relative to the container 10, there is still a one-to-one correspondence between the change in the distance from the pushing part 21 to the baffle wall 141 and the change in the volume of the compacting chamber 111 (i.e., the volume reduction of the compacting chamber 111) ΔV, and the change in the distance from the pushing part 21 to the baffle wall 141 is the displacement ΔL of the pushing part. The maximum volume of the compacting chamber is a known value, and the maximum volume of the compacting chamber has been determined when the food pushing device 100 is designed and developed.

[0095] When the space shape of the compaction cavity 111 is as follows Figure 3-4 When the rectangular parallelepiped and the pushing portion 21 shown in the embodiment translate linearly in the material cavity 11 along the preset traction trajectory, the displacement ΔL of the pushing portion is proportional to the volume change ΔV of the compacting cavity 111, and the proportional coefficient k between ΔL and ΔV is a constant, k is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the cross section obtained after cutting the compacting cavity 111 with a cavity plane perpendicular to the preset traction trajectory, and the volume change ΔV of the compacting cavity 111 is the volume of the delivered food, so the displacement ΔL of the pushing portion is proportional to the amount of food delivered.

[0096] If the area of ​​the obtained cross section changes with the change of the position of the cross-section plane, so that the proportional coefficient k between the displacement stroke ΔL of the pushing part 21 and the volume change ΔV of the compacting chamber 111 is no longer a constant, there is still a one-to-one correspondence and an operational relationship between the displacement ΔL of the pushing part and the volume change ΔV of the compacting chamber 111. After measuring the displacement ΔL of the pushing part, the volume change ΔV of the compacting chamber 111 can be calculated by integral operation.

[0097] The moment when the food pushing instruction is generated is the starting moment of calculating the displacement value of the pushing part, and the moment when the working current of the driving motor 221 reaches the stall current is the end moment of calculating the displacement value of the pushing part. When the working current of the driving motor 221 reaches the stall current, it means that the food in the compacting chamber 111 is compacted by the pushing part 21 and the retaining wall 141, and the pushing part 21 will not be able to continue to move close to the material opening 12.

[0098] The food quantity monitoring method of the present invention also defines that each time the user replenishes food into the container 10, the pushing part 21 needs to be driven to move away from the material opening 12 until the distance between the pushing part 21 and the retaining wall 141 reaches the maximum, so that the volume of the compacting chamber 111 reaches the maximum, and further defines that the user replenishes food into the compacting chamber 111 with the maximum volume. After the food is replenished, the food in the compacting chamber 111 is in a uniform and dense state. In this case, the pushing part 21 cannot be driven by the driver 22 to approach the material opening 12 due to the reaction force of the food. Only when the food conveying device runs for a period of time and conveys a part of the food in the compacting chamber 111 to the cooking pot 60 or other containing vessels, the driver 22 can drive the pushing part 21 to approach the retaining wall 141 to push the food to approach the material opening 12.

[0099] The food quantity monitoring method of the present invention can help users more conveniently know the amount of remaining food in the compacting cavity 111. Users can determine whether to replenish the container 10 based on the remaining food quantity, without the need for users to open the container 10 and personally calculate the remaining amount of food in the compacting cavity 111.

[0100] In some embodiments, the food pushing device 100 further includes a control system, which is connected to the driver 22 and the distance meter 40 and has a built-in operation program. The operation program contains a relationship between the displacement value of the pushing part and the amount of food delivered. The control system can calculate the amount of food delivered, the total amount of food delivered, and the remaining amount of food. The food amount monitoring method further includes the following steps:

[0101] S50, comparing the remaining amount of food with a preset lower limit of food storage;

[0102] S60: If the remaining amount of the food is less than the lower limit of the preset food storage amount, a prompt message for replenishing food into the container is pushed.

[0103] Specifically, the food pushing device 100 also includes a prompter for generating prompt information. The prompter can be a device that can generate a prompt sound during operation, a prompt light that can emit light during operation, or a communicator connected to a smart terminal device. The communicator can send prompt information to the smart terminal device to inform the user during operation.

[0104] In some embodiments, when the food pushing device 100 includes a tracker 30 and a distance meter 40, the tracker 30 is disposed on the pushing portion 21, the distance meter 40 is disposed on the container 10, and the distance meter 40 is used to sense the position of the tracker 30 to measure the distance from the pushing portion 21 to the retaining wall 141, the displacement value of the pushing portion when approaching the material port in step S10 specifically includes:

[0105] S11, obtaining the shortened distance between the material pushing part and the retaining wall sensed by the rangefinder and the tracker, and using the shortened distance as the displacement value of the material pushing part approaching the material opening.

[0106] With such an arrangement, it is easier to measure the displacement of the pushing part. The shortened distance between the pushing part 21 and the retaining wall 141 is closer in value to the displacement of the pushing part 21. Therefore, the shortened distance is suitable for being brought into the relationship between the displacement value of the pushing part and the amount of food delivered for calculation.

[0107] In some embodiments, when the pushing member 20 further includes a driver 22 connected to the pushing portion 21, and the food pushing device 100 further includes an odometer connected to the driver 22, and the odometer is used to measure the movement stroke of the pushing portion 21, the displacement value of the pushing portion when moving close to the material port in step S10 specifically includes:

[0108] S12, obtaining the driving stroke when the driver drives the pushing part to approach the material opening through the odometer;

[0109] S13. According to the relationship between the driving stroke and the moving stroke of the pushing part, the displacement value of the pushing part moving close to the material opening is obtained.

[0110] The driving stroke specifically refers to the stroke amount generated by the driver 22 while outputting power. Figure 2 Taking the food pushing device 100 shown in the figure as an example, the driving stroke is the rotation angle of the output shaft of the driving motor 221, and the active stroke of the pushing part 21 refers to the actual displacement of the pushing part 21 during the activity process near the material opening 12. Figure 2 Taking the food pushing device 100 shown as an example, the movable stroke of the pushing part 21 is equal to the moving stroke of the rack 231, and the driving stroke is proportional to the movable stroke of the pushing part 21. The moving stroke of the rack 231 can be obtained according to the driving stroke and the radius of the gear 222.

[0111] With such arrangement, it is easier to calculate the displacement of the pushing part, and the obtained active stroke of the pushing part 21 is used as the displacement of the pushing part, so that the food delivery amount finally obtained is more accurate.

[0112] The food pushing device 100 of the present invention facilitates the food conveying device to obtain food smoothly and in sufficient quantity. The cooking device of the present invention can realize efficient and smooth delivery of food to the cooking pot 60, overcoming the problem that the food conveying device cannot smoothly obtain food due to lack of food near the material port 12 of the existing similar products during use, thereby avoiding the forced interruption of the food conveying device in transporting food outward.

[0113] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0114] Those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. As long as they are within the spirit of the present invention, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
