[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5On the basis of the above embodiment, the pushing assembly 7 includes a connecting frame 701, a rotating shaft 702 and a pushing frame 703. The connecting frame 701 is connected to the guide frame 803. The connecting frame 701 is provided with a rotating shaft 702, and the pushing frame 703 is provided on the rotating shaft 702. It can be understood that the pushing frame 703 and the connecting frame 701 are connected in a rotating manner, which is more convenient for taking and placing the lunch box 4 as a whole.

[0039] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 On the basis of the above embodiment, it also includes a spring 11 and a clamping rod 12. The clamping rod 12 is arranged on the connecting frame 701, and a guide groove is opened on the pushing frame 703. The clamping rod 12 is slidably connected with the guide groove. A spring 11 is arranged in the guide groove. One end of the spring 11 is connected to the clamping rod 12, and the other end of the spring 11 is connected to the guide groove. The end of the clamping rod 12 away from the spring 11 is adapted to the groove arranged on the connecting frame 701.

[0044] It can be understood that the fool-proof structure is an arc-shaped portion arranged on the main body 401, and the arc lengths of the two arc-shaped portions at the front end of the main body 401 are different from those of the two arc-shaped portions at the rear end. The shape and size of the arc-shaped portion arranged on the lunch box 4 are adapted to the shape and size of the placement groove 3. By setting the fool-proof structure of the arc-shaped portion, the user can be prevented from placing the lunch box 4 in the wrong direction. At the same time, setting the guide symbol can further remind the user how to accurately place the lunch box 4.

[0045] In summary, a food material conveying mechanism and a lunch box 4 based on a fully automatic cooking machine are provided. Different food materials are placed in different accommodating chambers in advance. The lunch box 4 is placed in the placement slot 3 according to the foolproof structure and guide symbols provided on the lunch box 4. The identifier 6 recognizes the information of the dish label 5 on the lunch box 4 and then feeds back to the control system. The control system drives the motor 902 to rotate according to the dish information. The motor 902 drives the screw rod 903 to rotate during the rotation process. The screw rod 903 drives the guide frame 803 and the pusher frame 703 to slide along the direction of the guide rod 802 during the rotation process. The pusher frame 703 pushes the lunch box 4 during the movement. Due to the limit block 10 The upper cover 402 stays in the placement groove 3, and the main body 401 is gradually separated from the upper cover 402 under the push of the pushing rack 703, and the accommodating chamber closest to the food material dropping area 2 is opened, and the food in the accommodating chamber falls into the cooking machine along the food material dropping area 2. According to the dish information recognized by the identifier 6 and the preset program, it is decided whether to continue pushing the main body 401 or temporarily stop pushing the main body 401, thereby realizing the demand for staged food delivery. No human intervention is required during the entire food delivery process, which is more intelligent and convenient as a whole, and avoids the situation where the food is added too early or too late by humans and affects the taste of the final dish.

[0046] It should be noted that, in this article, the terms "include", "comprises" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, device, article or method including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, device, article or method. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "includes a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, device, article or method including the element.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly used in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
