DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The unloading device 10 of the intelligent cooking machine of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as the unloading device 10) is configured to install a trigger buckle structure 4 on the food box 1 and the top cover 2. When the unloading device 10 is unloading the food box 1, the trigger buckle structure 4 can be automatically opened by an unlocking component installed on the base 5 of the unloading device 10 to unlock the top cover 2, so that the food in the food box 1 can be poured into the wok 20 of the intelligent cooking machine.

[0029] By triggering the buckle structure 4 to lock the top cover 2 on the opening of the food box 1, the food box 1 with pre-prepared food can be stored or transported for use in cooking. At the same time, when the feeding device 10 is feeding the food box 1, the trigger buckle structure 4 can be automatically triggered to open, which has a high degree of automation and is easy to operate.

[0030] The food box 1 , the trigger buckle structure 4 , the base 5 for mounting the food box 1 , and the unlocking component for opening the trigger buckle structure 4 of the feeding device 10 are described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0031] 1. Food box 1

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the food box 1 is used to hold food to be cooked and fried. Preferably, the food box 1 is a rectangular box body with an open top surface, and a top cover 2 with a shape that matches the opening and can close the opening is provided on the opening. The rear end of the top cover 2 is hinged to the top of the rear side of the food box 1 (with a hinge or a rotating shaft connected with a sleeve). Figure 1 Taking the paper as an example, the side facing the observer is the front of each component in the feeding device, the side pointing to the paper is the back of each component in the feeding device, and the top, bottom, left and right are the top, bottom, left and right of each component in the feeding device respectively), the trigger buckle structure 4 is arranged on the front side of the top cover 2 and the food box 1.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to enable the top cover 2 to generate a thrust in the opening direction during the opening process, a bouncing structure 3 is provided at the rear end of the top cover 2. When the top cover 2 is locked and closed on the opening by the triggered buckle structure 4, the bouncing structure 3 is in a compressed state. When the trigger buckle structure 4 is triggered and the top cover 2 is in an unlocked state, the top cover 2 automatically bounces upward under the elastic force of the bouncing structure 3.

[0034] Preferably, the bouncing structure 3 is a torsion spring.

[0035] 2. Trigger buckle structure 4

[0036] The trigger buckle structure 4 includes a hook portion 41 and hooks (42a, 42b). The trigger buckle structure 4 of the utility model preferably has the following two structures:

[0037] 1) Structure 1:

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the hook portion 41 is a hook arranged downward along the middle of the front side of the top cover 2 with the hook entrance facing upward and having a certain width. Preferably, the hook portion 41 is integrally formed with the top cover 2. Furthermore, in order to make the trigger buckle structure 4 smoother in the process of disengaging from the hook portion 41, a table surface inclined from top to bottom and from outside to inside is provided at the end of the hook portion 41.

[0039] The hook 42a is placed on the front side of the food box 1 through a clamping sleeve 43 arranged on the front side of the food box 1. The hook 42a is divided into three parts, namely a buckle section 421a, a limiting section 422a and a trigger section 423a. The three sections are connected in sequence and are in the same plane. Specifically, it is a component bent from a cylindrical stick into a contour similar to the outer contour of the word "convex"; the limiting section 422a is a horizontal section located in the middle, which includes a left limiting section 422a and a right limiting section 422a that are symmetrical and spaced apart along the center line of the hook 42a. The left limiting section 422a and the right limiting section 422a are located at the same height and respectively penetrate two clamping sleeves 43 fixed on the front side of the food box 1, and the left and right limiting sections 422a can rotate freely in the clamping sleeve 43.

[0040] The buckle segment 421a can be hooked in the hook portion 41. Specifically, the buckle segment 421a is connected between the two ends of the opposite sides of the left limiting segment 422a and the right limiting segment 422a. The buckle segment 421a can be a rectangular structure or a triangular structure (either an equilateral triangle or an inverted triangle. The equilateral triangle is suitable for cooperating with the narrow hook portion 41, and the inverted triangle is suitable for cooperating with the wide hook portion 41).

[0041] The trigger segment 423a may be a single segment extending downward along the outer side of the left limiting segment 422a or the right limiting segment 422a, or may be two segments extending downward along the outer side of the left limiting segment 422a and the right limiting segment 422a, respectively. Preferably, in order to ensure the balance of the triggering action, the structure of the trigger segment 423a of the present invention is the latter. The minimum distance between the two trigger segments 423a is greater than the width of the front side of the food box 1, that is, the two trigger segments 423a are respectively placed on the outer side of the left and right sides of the front side of the food box 1.

[0042] The limiting section 422a may also be a horizontal column, and the buckle section 421a is connected to the middle of the limiting section 422a. The trigger section 423a is connected to both ends of the limiting section 422a.

[0043] When a backward force (the backward force refers to the rear side direction of the food box 1) is applied to the trigger section 423a, the trigger section 423a swings backward along the left and right sides of the food box 1 with the limiting section 422a as the rotation axis, and at the same time, the buckle section 421a swings forward with the limiting section 422a as the rotation axis to disengage from the hook portion 41, thereby opening the top cover 2.

[0044] 2) Structure 2:

[0045] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the main difference between Structure 2 and Structure 1 lies in the hook. The hook 42b of Structure 2 also includes three parts: a buckle segment 421b, a limit segment 422b and a trigger segment 423b. The buckle segment 421b and the trigger segment 423b are two upper and lower segments formed by bending a rectangular frame at a certain angle along the center line and dividing the rectangular frame by the center line. The limit segment 422b is connected to the center line. The limit segment 422b is fixed to the upper middle part of the front side of the food box 1 by a sleeve 43, and the widths of the buckle segment 421b and the trigger segment 423b are both smaller than the width of the front side of the food box 1.

[0046] The closed surface enclosed by the buckle segment 421b and the limiting segment 422b and the closed surface enclosed by the trigger segment 423b and the limiting segment 422b are not in the same plane, and the planes where the buckle segment 421b and the trigger segment 423b are located are both synchronously swung with the limiting segment 422b as the axis. When the buckle segment 421b is hooked in the hook portion 41, the plane where the buckle segment 421b is located is in a vertical state and close to the front side of the food box 1, and the plane where the trigger segment 423b is located is inclined toward the front and lower side of the front side of the food box 1.

[0047] When the food box 1 is installed on the base 5, the trigger buckle structure 4 flips downward with the food box 1 (taking the lower end of the front side of the food box 1 as the rotation point, the entire food box 1 flips forward and downward). During the flipping process, the trigger segment 423b first contacts the unlocking component provided on the base 5, and cannot continue to flip downward due to the restriction of the unlocking component. Then, as the food box 1 continues to flip, the trigger segment 423b swings toward the front side of the food box 1, and the buckle segment 421b swings away from the front side of the food box 1, eventually causing the buckle segment 421b to be disconnected from the hook portion 41 to realize the opening of the top cover 2, so that the food can be poured into the wok 20 of the intelligent cooking machine.

[0048] Compared with the previous structure, this structure saves space on both sides of the food box 1 so as to expand the volume of the food box 1 to accommodate a larger amount of food.

[0049] 3. Base 5

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 5 is used to install the food box 1. Specifically, the base 5 includes two side panels 51, a bottom plate 52 connecting the two side panels 51, and a flap 53 supporting the food box 1. The front end of the flap 53 is axially connected to the two side panels 51 through ears 54 arranged on both sides of the front of the flap 53, and the rotating shaft on one side is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 8 that drives the flap 53 to flip; the rear end of the flap 53 is supported by a support plate or a supporting column on the rear side of the base 5 so that the flap 53 is in a horizontal initial state; under the action of the driving motor 8, the flap 53 carries the food box 1 and flips toward the pot mouth of the frying pan 20 of the cooking machine to a feeding state.

[0051] The above is a specific structure of the base 5 when installing one food box 1. When the feeding device 10 includes multiple food boxes 1, one food box 1 can be used to configure one base 5, and multiple bases 5 are enclosed and arranged above the pot mouth of the wok 20.

[0052] To simplify the structure and facilitate modular assembly, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, two food boxes 1 may also be arranged side by side on a base 5. The base 5 under this structure is to increase the width of the bottom plate 52 under the above-mentioned base 5 structure, and a bracket 55 vertically installed with the bottom plate 52 is arranged between the two side plates 51. The two flaps 53 supporting the two food boxes 1 are respectively installed on one side plate 51 and the bracket 55 and on the bracket 55 and the other side plate 51 in an axial manner, that is, the opposite sides of the two flaps 53 share a bracket 55, and the driving motors 8 for driving the two flaps 53 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the two side plates 51.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the food box 1 is installed on the flap 53 through a quick-release structure, and the quick-release structure is composed of a clamping member arranged on the flap 53 and a clamping block on the food box 1.

[0054] The clamping member includes a front baffle 61 and a rear baffle 62 with a transverse positioning groove 611. The front baffle 61 is fixedly connected to the front end of the flap 53 in a manner that it is perpendicular to the flap 53 and the positioning groove 611 opens toward the rear. The rear baffle 62 is elastically flippably connected to the rear end of the flap 53 through a positioning shaft 622. Under the action of an external force, the rear baffle 62 can flip backward around the positioning shaft 622, and after the external force disappears, the rear baffle 62 can automatically return to its original position under the action of an elastic member sleeved on the positioning shaft 622. A positioning cavity 621 is provided on the front side of the rear baffle 62. The clamping block includes a front clamping block 63 and a rear clamping block 64 which extend horizontally outward along the front and rear sides of the food box 1 and at positions corresponding to the clamping member, respectively. The front clamping block 63 is inserted into the positioning groove 611, and the rear clamping block 64 can be elastically clamped in the positioning cavity 621.

[0055] When installing the food box 1, first insert the front clamping block 63 into the positioning groove 611, and then press the back side of the food box 1 downward to make the rear clamping block 64 squeeze the rear baffle 62 and flip the rear baffle 62 backward. Finally, when the rear clamping block 64 is inserted into the positioning cavity 621, the rear baffle 62 is reset and the food box 1 is positioned and connected to the flap 53.

[0056] When the food box 1 needs to be removed for replacement and cleaning, the rear baffle 62 is pulled back with one hand to release the rear clamping block 64 from the limit position, and the food box 1 can be taken out with the other hand.

[0057] The quick-release structure can realize the installation of the food box 1 by one-hand operation through the elastic snap-fit ​​quick-installation method, and the operation is convenient and the structure is simple.

[0058] 4. Unlock components

[0059] For the trigger buckle structure 4 under different structures, the unlocking components are also different, which are introduced below respectively:

[0060] 1) Unlocking component adapted to structure 1

[0061] The unlocking component is a baffle bar 71a extending horizontally inward along the side panel 51. The baffle bar 71a is set on the front end surface of the left panel 51 and / or the right panel 51, and is located on the movement trajectory of the trigger section as the food box 1 flips over. Before the driving motor 8 drives the food box 1 to flip downward from the horizontal initial state to the unloading state, the position of the trigger section movement path does not affect the continued flipping of the food box 1 to the unloading state.

[0062] That is, the length of the blocking bar 71a is less than the distance from the corresponding side plate 51 to the side edge of the food box 1 opposite to the side plate 51 and is greater than the distance from the side plate 51 to the trigger section on the opposite side.

[0063] 2) Unlocking component adapted to structure 2

[0064] The unlocking component is a baffle 71 b that is bent upward along the middle of the front side of the bottom plate 52 and toward the front side wall of the food box 1 .

[0065] When the driving motor 8 drives the food box 1 to flip downward, the trigger section cannot continue to flip with the food box 1 due to the action of the blocking bar 71a or the blocking block. Then, as the food box 1 continues to flip to the unloading state, the trigger section swings toward the front side of the food box 1, and at the same time, the buckle section swings away from the front side of the food box 1, so that the buckle section disengages from the hook portion 41, thereby opening the top cover 2 for unloading.
