[0029] This embodiment discloses an automatic flip cooker for cooking. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the automatic flip cookware includes a pot body 1 and an automatic flip structure, wherein the automatic flip structure includes a driving assembly and a rotating bracket 21 , and the rotating bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the pot body 1 .

[0030] The driving component drives the pot body 1 to flip to the set angle through the rotating bracket 21, so that food can be directly poured into the dinner plate, and the water used to wash the pot can be easily poured out. It is more convenient to use and does not require the user's arm strength. Even the elderly, children, patients and other people with poor physical strength can use it. It has a wide range of applications and reduces labor intensity.

[0031] 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.

[0032] When it is necessary to dump the wastewater from washing the pot, there is no specific restriction on the destination of the dumping. In this embodiment, a wastewater treatment box 3 is provided on the side of the pot body 1 where the rotating bracket 21 is provided. The lower end of the wastewater treatment box 3 is provided with a drainage hole, which is connected to the kitchen sewer pipe. After washing the pot, the pot body 1 is turned over by the automatic turning structure, and the wastewater from washing the pot can automatically flow into the wastewater treatment box 3 and then be discharged along the kitchen sewer pipe. There is no need to carry the pot filled with wastewater from washing the pot to the sink to dump it, which saves time and effort, provides a good user experience, and improves efficiency.

[0033] There is no limitation on the specific method of adding soup or water for washing the pot into the pot body 1. The user can add it manually, which is low-cost; or the user can introduce tap water into the pot body 1 through a hose, which is more labor-saving and provides a good user experience.

[0034] The specific structure of the drive assembly is not limited, as long as it can drive the pot body 1 to flip to a set angle via the rotating bracket 21. In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes a drive device 22 and a drive rod 23. The rotating bracket 21 defines a drive hole 211. One end of the drive rod 23 is connected to the output shaft of the drive device 22, and the other end of the drive rod 23 is inserted into the drive hole 211. The specific structure of the drive device 22 is not limited, and any device that can rotate the drive rod 23 about its own axis can be used.

[0035] When the pot body 1 needs to be flipped, the control device activates the drive mechanism 22, which drives the drive rod 23 to rotate about its own axis. The other end of the drive rod 23 is inserted into the drive hole 211, allowing the drive rod 23 and the rotating bracket 21 to rotate synchronously. The rotating bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the pot body 1, so the pot body 1 can rotate synchronously with the rotating bracket 21 about the axis of the drive rod 23. The overall structure is simple and reasonable, and the pot body 1 flips more smoothly.

[0036] In this embodiment, the control device 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 driving device 22 to realize its function.

[0037] The specific shape of the rotating bracket 21 is not limited, as long as it can be stably connected to the drive rod 23. In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 21 is U-shaped. The middle portion of the rotating bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the pot body 1. Drive holes 211 are respectively defined at both ends of the rotating bracket 21. The other end of the drive rod 23 is sequentially inserted into the two drive holes 211.

[0038] The design of the two driving holes 211 enables the driving rod 23 to provide a more balanced supporting force for the pot body 1. When the driving rod 23 drives the pot body 1 to rotate through the rotating bracket 21, the spatial posture of the pot body 1 is more stable, preventing the pot body 1 from shaking relative to the driving rod 23.

[0039] To ensure stable synchronous rotation of the rotating bracket 21 with the drive rod 23, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the drive rod 23 perpendicular to the axis is non-circular, and the shape of the drive hole 211 is consistent with the cross-section of the drive rod 23 perpendicular to the axis. The specific shape of the cross-section of the drive rod 23 perpendicular to the axis is not limited and can be, but is not limited to, an ellipse, a semicircle, a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, or a polygon with more than six sides, as long as it prevents relative rotation between the drive rod 23 and the drive hole 211.

[0040] Of course, the cross section of the driving rod 23 perpendicular to the axis can also be circular, then the driving hole 211 is also circular, and a limit key is set between the driving rod 23 and the driving hole 211 to prevent relative rotation between the driving rod 23 and the driving hole 211. The driving rod 23 drives the pot body 1 to flip through the rotating bracket 21.

[0041] To improve the responsiveness of the rotating bracket 21 to the rotation of the drive rod 23, the drive rod 23 is interference-fitted with the drive hole 211. When the drive rod 23 rotates, the rotating bracket 21 can immediately rotate synchronously with the drive rod 23, eliminating the phenomenon where the rotating bracket 21 rotates after the drive rod 23 rotates a certain angle. This allows for precise control of the tilting angle of the pot body 1, providing a better user experience.

[0042] The specific connection method between the rotating bracket 21 and the pot body 1 is not limited, as long as the pot body 1 can rotate stably with the rotating bracket 21. In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 21 is welded or riveted to the outer wall of the pot body 1. The process is mature and stable, the installation efficiency is high, and the connection between the rotating bracket 21 and the pot body 1 is more secure.

[0043] The specific connection position of the rotating bracket 21 on the pot body 1 is not limited. In this embodiment, the height of the pot body 1 is L, and the rotating bracket 21 is fixedly connected to the height center of the pot body 1 at ±0.3L. That is, with the height center of the pot body 1 (0.5L away from the bottom of the pot in the vertical direction) as the reference point, the rotating bracket 21 is set within a range of 0.3L above and below the reference point. When the pot body 1 is flipped, the center of gravity is as close as possible to the rotating bracket 21, the torque generated at the rotating bracket 21 is small, and the power requirement of the drive device 22 is low, which prevents the rotating bracket 21 from separating from the pot body 1 under the action of the torque, thereby extending the service life of the automatic flip cookware. During cooking, the rotating bracket 21 is kept as far away from the flame as possible to prevent it from being burned.

[0044] In addition to the above structure, the drive assembly also includes a mounting base 24. The drive device 22 is located on one side of the mounting base 24, and the drive rod 23 extends through the mounting base 24 to the other side. The mounting base 24 provides support for both the drive device 22 and the drive rod 23, making them more stable.

[0045] To further enhance the stability of the drive rod 23, the drive assembly further includes a support member disposed at the end of the drive rod 23 away from the drive device 22, with the rotating bracket 21 positioned between the support member and the mounting base 24. Specifically, the mounting base 24 supports one end of the drive rod 23, while the support member supports the other end. This allows a portion of the force applied by the pot body 1 to the drive rod 23 to be shared between the support member and the mounting base 24, reducing the deformation of the drive rod 23 and ensuring a more controlled tilt angle of the pot body 1.

[0046] Based on the above structure, the drive assembly also includes two limit blocks, one of which is used to limit the maximum flipping angle of the pot body 1 to prevent the pot body 1 from colliding or pushing the wastewater treatment box 3, making it safer to use; the other limit block is used to limit the reset angle to ensure that the pot body 1 can be placed just right on the burner assembly to prevent the pot body 1 from colliding or pushing the burner assembly, thereby extending the service life of the pot body 1 and the burner assembly.

[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.
