Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. In the description of this utility model, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0030] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, electrical connection; direct connection, or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components, or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediary.

[0032] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation methods.
[0033] This embodiment discloses a pot and a cooking mechanism that can automatically clean, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the cooking mechanism includes a gas stove 4 and a self-cleaning pot placed on the burner of the gas stove 4. The self-cleaning pot includes a pot lid assembly 1 and an automatic pot flip assembly 2. The pot lid assembly 1 includes a connected pot lid body 11 and an automatic feeding mechanism, while the automatic pot flip assembly 2 includes a connected pot body 21 and an automatic pot flip mechanism.
[0034] After cooking, the automatic supply mechanism automatically adds cleaning medium to the pot, flushing the inner surfaces of the lid 11 and the pot body 21, removing and softening oil stains and food residues within the pot. After the flushing and soaking process is complete, the pot body's automatic flip mechanism drives the pot body 21 to a set angle, automatically dumping the cleaning liquid from the pot body 21. This reduces manual operation and labor intensity, making it easy for even the elderly, children, and patients with limited physical strength to use, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
[0035] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the medium for cleaning the pot may be, but is not limited to, water. In this embodiment, water is used as an example for illustration. When the cleaning medium is other substances, their use and subsequent treatment methods are similar to those of water and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Based on the above structure, Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the pot lid assembly 1 also includes an automatic pot lid opening and closing mechanism 12 connected to the pot lid body 11. When the automatic pot lid opening and closing mechanism 12 drives the pot lid body 11 upward, the pot lid body 11 is positioned outside the turning path of the pot body 21, preventing interference between the pot lid body 11 and the pot body 21, thereby enhancing safety. After the wastewater is drained, the pot body 21 returns to its original position and falls back onto the gas stove 4, allowing the pot lid body 11 to cover the pot body 21.
[0037] To ensure that the pot body 21 does not collide with the lid body 11 when it flips, the self-cleaning cookware also includes a connected control device 3 and a position sensor. The position sensor is mounted on the lid body 11. When the lid body 11 flips into place, the position sensor sends a signal to the control device 3. Upon receiving this signal, the control device 3 activates the automatic pot body flipping mechanism, causing the pot body 21 to flip. That is, the control device 3 will not control the pot body 21 to flip until the lid body 11 flips into place.
[0038] The specific structure of the control device 3 is not limited. In this embodiment, the control device 3 can be a centralized or distributed controller. For example, the controller can be a single single-chip microcomputer or a distributed plurality of single-chip microcomputers. The control program can be run in the single-chip microcomputer to control the automatic supply structure, the automatic turning structure of the pot body and the automatic opening and closing structure 12 of the pot lid to realize their functions.
[0039] Based on the above structure, the automatic pot flipping mechanism includes a drive motor 22, a rotating rod 23, and a rotating bracket 24. The rotating bracket 24 is fixedly connected to the pot body 21. One end of the rotating rod 23 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 22, and the other end of the rotating rod 23 is connected to the rotating bracket 24. The specific connection method between the rotating bracket 24 and the pot body 21 is not limited, and can be, but is not limited to, welding and riveting. These processes are mature and provide a stable connection structure.
[0040] When the drive motor 22 is activated, it drives the rotating rod 23 to rotate about its own axis. The rotating rod 23 and the rotating bracket 24 do not rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction, so the rotating bracket 24 can rotate synchronously with the rotating rod 23. The rotating bracket 24 is fixedly connected to the pot body 21, so the pot body 21 rotates synchronously about its own axis with the rotating rod 23. In other words, the drive motor 22 can drive the pot body 21 to flip about the axis of the rotating rod 23 through the rotating rod 23 and the rotating bracket 24, so that the pot body 21 can automatically pour out the waste water from the pot.
[0041] The wastewater from the pot body 21 can be discharged to any destination. In this embodiment, a wastewater treatment box is located next to the pot body 21. By tilting the pot body 21 at a certain angle, the wastewater can be poured into the wastewater treatment box. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the wastewater treatment box, which connects to the kitchen drain, allowing the wastewater to be discharged through the kitchen drain. This wastewater treatment box can be used without making major changes to the existing kitchen structure, resulting in low cost and a good user experience.
[0042] The specific connection between the rotating rod 23 and the rotating bracket 24 is not limited, as long as the rotating rod 23 can drive the rotating bracket 24 to rotate synchronously. In this embodiment, the rotating rod 23 is a rod-shaped structure with a non-circular radial cross-section. The rotating bracket 24 defines a rotation hole 241. The shape of the rotation hole 241 matches the radial cross-section of the rotating rod 23, and the rotating rod 23 is inserted into the rotation hole 241. Specifically, the rotating rod 23 has a radial cross-section of an elliptical, semicircular, triangular, or polygonal shape with an angle greater than three, and can prevent the rotating rod 23 from rotating within the rotation hole 241.
[0043] Based on the above structure, the automatic supply mechanism includes a supply pump 13, a connecting pipe 14, a supply pipe 15, and a spray head 16. The supply pump 13 is connected to a medium source (e.g., a kitchen tap) and pumps water from the source into the connecting pipe 14. The spray head 16 is located within the self-cleaning pot. The supply pump 13 can add water to the pot through the connecting pipe 14, the supply pipe 15, and the spray head 16. The spray head 16 is detachably connected to the pot lid 11, allowing it to be reattached to the pot lid 11 when the pot needs to be cleaned. This provides convenient use and a good water spraying effect.
[0044] For a more thorough cleaning, the inside of the pot can be rinsed with hot water. In this embodiment, the automatic supply mechanism further includes a heater 17. Heater 17 is connected between the supply pump 13 and the connecting pipe 14 and heats the water flowing therethrough. The specific structure of heater 17 is not limited; any device known in the art that can instantly heat water flowing therethrough may be used.
[0045] The specific placement of the supply pipe 15 is not limited, as long as it can deliver water from the connecting pipe 14 to the spray head 16. In this embodiment, the pot lid body 11 includes a handle 111, the supply pipe 15 is disposed within the handle 111, and the spray head 16 is disposed on the inner wall of the pot lid body 11. This makes the overall structure more compact, and the handle 111 protects the supply pipe 15, ensuring smooth water flow into the spray head 16.
[0046] Based on the above structure, the spray head 16 is provided with at least two nozzles. At least one nozzle is used to spray fluid 161 onto the inner wall of the pot lid 11 to flush and clean the pot lid 11; at least one nozzle is used to spray fluid 161 onto the inner wall of the pot body 21 to flush and clean the pot body 21. This provides a more thorough and effective flushing and cleaning of the pot interior.
[0047] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
