[0038] The utility model embodiment discloses a cleaning mechanism and cooking equipment.

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The cleaning mechanism comprises a cleaning component 1 and a driving member 2. The cleaning component 1 has a cleaning surface 11 for throwing out cleaning liquid, and the cleaning component 1 is rotatably connected to the top of the cooking cavity 31; the driving member 2 is connected to the cleaning component 1 to drive the cleaning component 1 to rotate, so that the cleaning liquid is thrown out to the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 through the centrifugal effect of the cleaning surface 11.

[0041] Specifically, the cooking cavity 31 is a cavity for the inner pot 3 to accommodate and cook food, and a corresponding heating structure is arranged inside the cavity, and a steam device can also be arranged outside the cavity to continuously inject steam into the cooking cavity 31 for cooking. The cleaning component 1 can be a plate-like structure, the middle of which is rotatably connected to the inner top of the cooking cavity 31 through a connecting structure, and the top wall of the plate-like structure is opposite to the inner top wall of the cooking cavity 31, and at least part of the top wall of the plate-like structure serves as the cleaning surface 11.

[0042] A liquid injection hole is provided on the top wall of the cooking cavity 31, and a liquid injection tube is sealed in the liquid injection hole, and the liquid outlet of the liquid injection tube is directly opposite to the cleaning surface 11, so as to continuously inject the cleaning liquid onto the cleaning surface 11. The driving member 2 is arranged outside the cooking cavity 31, and a servo motor, a stepping motor, a DC motor or the like can be used as a driving element. In this embodiment, the driving member 2 adopts a bidirectional speed regulating motor, so as to adjust the rotation speed of the cleaning component 1 according to the cleaning requirements, thereby changing the magnitude of the centrifugal force, and then changing the position where the cleaning liquid is thrown out.

[0043] By setting a cleaning surface 11 on the cleaning component 1, when the cleaning liquid falls on the cleaning surface 11, the driving member 2 can drive the cleaning component 1 to rotate. As the cleaning component 1 rotates, the cleaning surface 11 can use centrifugal force to throw the cleaning liquid away from the cleaning component 1, and the thrown cleaning liquid can contact the inner pot 3 of the cooking cavity 31 to achieve the flushing of the inner pot 3. In this way, when the cleaning mechanism is used, the cleaning surface 11 receives the cleaning liquid, and the driving member 2 drives the cleaning component 1 to rotate to generate centrifugal force to throw out the cleaning liquid to complete the cleaning. There is no need to set up a cavity for accommodating the cleaning liquid, which can effectively reduce the volume of the cleaning component 1 itself, thereby reducing the occupation of the internal space of the cooking cavity 31, which is conducive to the smooth installation and layout of other structures such as the heating module, ensuring that the cooking of the food in the cooking cavity 31 is better, and improving the user experience.

[0044] Optionally, the cleaning assembly 1 includes a cleaning disc 12, a connecting rod 13 and a cleaning ring 14. The connecting rod 13 is disposed on the cleaning disc 12 and connected to the driving member 2; the cleaning ring 14 is disposed on the outside of the cleaning disc 12, and the upper side of the cleaning ring 14 serves as the cleaning surface 11.

[0045] Specifically, the connecting rod 13 is cylindrical, and its upper end is fixedly connected to the driving member 2, and its lower end extends into the cooking cavity 31 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning plate 12. The horizontal projection of the cleaning plate 12 can be circular or polygonal. The lower end of the connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the cleaning plate 12, and the two are in an integrated structure to ensure that the connection strength between the two is good. The cleaning ring 14 is fixed to the edge of the cleaning plate 12, and its shape is set according to the shape of the cleaning plate 12. The cleaning plate 12 and the cleaning ring 14 can be in an integrated structure to ensure that the connection between the two is well sealed. In this embodiment, the horizontal projection of the cleaning plate 12 is circular, and the cleaning ring 14 is in a circular ring shape.

[0046] By setting a connecting rod 13 to connect the driving member 2 and the cleaning plate 12, the driving member 2 located outside the cooking cavity 31 can smoothly drive the cleaning plate 12 located inside the cooking cavity 31 to rotate, and the cleaning surface 11 can use centrifugal force to smoothly throw the cleaning liquid onto the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 to complete the cleaning of the cooking cavity 31.

[0047] Optionally, a plurality of ribs 15 are provided at intervals between the cleaning surface 11 and the ribs 15 extend in the radial direction of the cleaning ring 14 .

[0048] Specifically, the top wall of the cleaning ring 14 is partially convex to form ribs 15, and the two can be an integrated structure. The ribs 15 can be in a cubic shape, and its side surface is flat. The arrangement of multiple ribs 15 can separate the cleaning surface 11 into multiple areas, and can also separate the cleaning liquid. When the cleaning ring 14 rotates, the ribs 15 can have a certain stopping effect on the cleaning liquid, which is conducive to the cleaning liquid being smoothly thrown to the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 under the action of centrifugal force.

[0049] Optionally, a side of the cleaning surface 11 away from the cleaning disk 12 extends obliquely upward.

[0050] Specifically, the cleaning plate 12 is in the shape of a flat plate and is arranged parallel to the horizontal plane, while the cleaning ring 14 may be in the shape of a cone, so that the cleaning surface 11 is inclined. The inclined cleaning surface 11 can throw the cleaning liquid in the inclined direction, so that the cleaning liquid can smoothly contact the inner top wall of the cooking cavity 31, thereby cleaning the inner top wall of the cooking cavity 31, and effectively increasing the cleaning range of the cooking cavity 31.

[0051] Embodiment 2

[0052] Based on the first embodiment, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment lies in the different structure of the cleaning component 1.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 As shown, optionally, the cleaning assembly 1 includes a connecting rod 13. The connecting rod 13 is connected to the driving member 2, and at least two cleaning discs 12 are spaced apart at one end of the connecting rod 13 away from the driving member 2, and a cleaning ring 14 is arranged around the outer side of each cleaning disc 12, and the upper side of the cleaning ring 14 serves as the cleaning surface 11.

[0054] Specifically, the connecting rod 13 is cylindrical, and its upper end is connected to the output end of the driving member 2, and its lower end extends into the cooking cavity 31. A plurality of cleaning plates 12 are distributed at intervals at the lower end of the connecting rod 13, and the cleaning plates 12 are all flat-plate structures. A cleaning ring 14 is fixedly arranged at the edge of each cleaning plate 12. The cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cleaning rings 14 can increase downward along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13, so that the cleaning ring 14 farther from the driving member 2 has a larger area, so that each cleaning plate 12 can receive the cleaning liquid. The cross-sectional areas of the plurality of cleaning rings 14 can also decrease downward along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13. At this time, except for the cleaning plate 12 and the cleaning ring 14 farthest from the driving member 2, the remaining cleaning plates 12 and the cleaning ring 14 can be penetrated and opened with through holes so that the cleaning liquid of the upper cleaning plate 12 and the cleaning ring 14 can flow to the lower cleaning plate 12 and the cleaning ring 14. In this embodiment, two cleaning plates 12 are distributed at intervals, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning ring 14 located at the upper layer is larger.

[0055] By providing the connecting rod 13, not only can the power generated by the driving member 2 be transmitted to the cleaning disc 12 to drive the cleaning disc 12 to rotate, but also space can be provided for the arrangement of multiple cleaning discs 12. The arrangement of multiple cleaning discs 12 and the cleaning ring 14 can increase the area of ​​the cleaning surface 11 receiving the cleaning liquid, so that the amount of cleaning liquid thrown out by the cleaning assembly 1 is increased, so as to improve the cleaning effect of the cooking cavity 31.

[0056] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning ring 14 close to the driving member 2 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning ring 14 far from the driving member 2 .

[0057] Specifically, the cleaning ring 14 closest to the driving member 2 is at a relatively higher position in the cooking cavity 31. The cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning ring 14 is set to the largest among the multiple cleaning rings 14, so that the cleaning ring 14 can cover a wider range. The cleaning liquid thrown out can better have an impact effect on the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31, and the cleaning liquid thrown onto the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 can also flow down along the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 to soak the stains at other positions of the cavity wall, so that the cleaning of the cavity wall of the cooking cavity 31 near the lower side does not require too much impact force, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the cleaning ring 14 away from the driving member 2 can be gradually reduced, so that the overall size of the cleaning component 1 is smaller, which is beneficial to reducing the space occupied by the cleaning component 1 in the cooking cavity 31.

[0058] Optionally, at least part of the cleaning discs 12 or the cleaning rings 14 are penetrated with liquid outlet holes 16 for the cleaning liquid to flow out, so that each cleaning ring 14 can receive the cleaning liquid.

[0059] Specifically, since the cleaning ring 14 far from the driving member 2 has a smaller cross-sectional area, the cleaning liquid discharged from the liquid injection pipe cannot directly fall on the cleaning ring 14 with a relatively small cross-sectional area. Therefore, by providing a liquid outlet 16 on at least part of the cleaning disk 12 or the cleaning ring 14, the cleaning ring 14 with a relatively large cross-sectional area can receive the cleaning liquid and then flow to the cleaning ring 14 of the lower layer along the liquid outlet 16. A plurality of liquid outlets 16 can be distributed at intervals, and the specific number can be designed according to the actual size of the cleaning disk 12 and the cleaning ring 14, and the present invention does not limit this.

[0060] In this embodiment, only two cleaning discs 12 are provided, and the liquid outlet 16 is directly provided on the cleaning disc 12 of the upper layer, while the liquid outlet 16 is not provided on the cleaning disc 12 of the lower layer, and the cleaning liquid on the cleaning disc 12 of the lower layer can be thrown out by centrifugal force, which can effectively reduce the possibility of the cleaning liquid remaining on the cleaning disc 12. In other embodiments, each cleaning disc 12 can be provided with a liquid outlet 16, and the cleaning disc 12 corresponding to the cleaning ring 14 with the smallest cross-sectional area can be provided with a liquid outlet 16 to guide the residual cleaning liquid out of the cleaning disc 12, so as to reduce the possibility of the cleaning liquid remaining. The liquid outlet 16 can also be provided on the cleaning ring 14, as long as it is ensured that the lower end opening of the liquid outlet 16 can be opposite to the cleaning ring 14 of the lower layer.

[0061] Optionally, the inclined extension angle of the cleaning ring 14 close to the driving member 2 is greater than the inclined angle of the cleaning ring 14 far from the driving member 2 .

[0062] Specifically, the inclination extension angles of the multiple cleaning rings 14 can decrease downward along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13, that is, the angle between the cleaning ring 14 and the horizontal plane decreases downward along the axial direction of the connecting rod 13, so that the cleaning ring 14 located at the top layer has the largest inclination amplitude, and the cleaning liquid thrown out can directly contact the inner top wall of the cooking cavity 31, while the remaining cleaning rings 14 only need to throw the cleaning liquid to the side wall of the cooking cavity 31. Therefore, the inclination amplitude of the remaining cleaning rings 14 can be gradually reduced so that the cleaning liquid can be thrown toward the side wall of the cooking cavity 31.

[0063] By providing cleaning rings 14 with different inclinations, the cleaning liquid can be thrown to the inner top wall and the inner side wall of the cooking cavity 31 respectively, so that the cleaning liquid can cover the cooking cavity 31 in all directions, thereby effectively improving the cleaning effect of the cooking cavity 31.

[0064] The cooking device comprises: an inner pot 3 and a cleaning mechanism as in the above embodiment. The inner pot 3 has a cooking cavity 31 for cooking food; and the cleaning mechanism is arranged in the inner pot 3.

[0065] When the cooking device is in use, the ingredients are placed in the cooking cavity 31 for cooking. After cooking is completed, the cleaning mechanism can be started. The cleaning mechanism can directly throw the cleaning liquid onto the inner wall of the cooking cavity 31 to clean the cooking cavity 31, without the need to provide a space for accommodating the cleaning liquid in the cleaning mechanism, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the cleaning mechanism in the cooking cavity 31, facilitating the installation and layout of structures such as the heating module, ensuring that the cooking device has a better cooking effect on the ingredients, and effectively improving the user experience.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
