Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking apparatus technology, and more particularly to a cooking apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Konjac steaming refers to placing sliced ​​konjac into a pot, adding an appropriate amount of water, and steaming the konjac slices until they become transparent, elastic, and have no raw taste, in order to make konjac ready-to-eat gel food.

[0003] Currently, steaming is an essential step in konjac processing. When common steaming equipment steams konjac slices, once the slices become transparent, elastic, and have no raw taste, workers need to manually remove them from the pot to collect them for the next process. This process is not only slow but also poses a risk of burns to workers, so improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a cooking apparatus to at least solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] A cooking device includes a support frame with a rotatable cooking pot mounted on it. The support frame includes two base frames with opposing support columns. A liftable strainer basket is positioned between the support columns and above the cooking pot. Each support column has a mounting cavity containing a lifting assembly for driving the strainer basket to move up and down. The strainer basket has an opening at its lower end, with an openable and closable base plate connected to the opening via a hinge. The strainer basket has a locking assembly for locking the base plate when it is closed. Mounting frames are positioned between the support columns, and a slidable unloading hopper is positioned between the mounting frames for guiding konjac slices into the strainer basket.

[0006] Furthermore, the two pillars have grooves on their opposite sidewalls that connect to the mounting cavity along their height direction. The lifting assembly includes a threaded rod that rotates within the mounting cavity. A lifting block is threaded onto the threaded rod. A connecting rod extending out of the corresponding groove is provided on the lifting block. The connecting rod is connected to the sidewall of the basket. The two threaded rods rotate synchronously to achieve synchronous lifting of the two lifting blocks.

[0007] Furthermore, a top platform is provided at the top of the support column, and a cavity is provided inside the top platform. Two threaded rods extend into the cavity through the corresponding mounting cavity. A sprocket is provided on the extension end of each of the two threaded rods, and the two sprockets are connected by a chain. A drive motor is provided on the bottom wall of the cavity through a mounting seat. The drive motor is used to drive one of the two threaded rods to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, the hinge includes a connecting plate disposed opposite to the outer wall of the basket, and an L-shaped mounting plate disposed opposite to the outer wall of the base plate, with the mounting plate extending between the connecting plates, and a hinge shaft penetrating the mounting plate between the connecting plates.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes fixed plates disposed opposite each other on the outer wall of the drain basket, a slidable locking rod between the opposing fixed plates, an abutment piece sleeved on the locking rod located between the two fixed plates, and a spring sleeved on the locking rod. The locking assembly also includes a locking plate disposed on the outer wall of the base plate, the locking plate having a locking hole, and the spring being used to push the abutment piece to move so that one end of the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole.

[0010] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the outer wall of the locking rod along its axial direction, and a limiting block is provided on one side wall of one of the two fixing plates, which slides into the limiting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, a pull post is provided at the other end of the locking rod.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the cooking apparatus of this application has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a lifting component to lower the strainer basket into the cooking pot for steaming. When the konjac slices are steamed until they are transparent and elastic and have no raw taste, the strainer basket can be removed from the cooking pot, so that the konjac slices can be taken out of the cooking pot without manual removal of the konjac slices from the cooking pot, thus better avoiding scalding of workers by the water in the cooking pot.

[0014] This invention, through the installation of a mounting frame and a discharge hopper, allows the discharge hopper to slide along the mounting frame to a position below the konjac basket after the konjac slices have been steamed and the strainer basket has moved above the cooking pot. At this point, the bottom plate is rotated via a hinge to open the lower opening of the strainer basket, allowing the konjac slices inside the strainer basket to be discharged through the discharge hopper, thus facilitating the collection of konjac slices and improving work efficiency.

[0032] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-7 This embodiment will be described in further detail.

[0034] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, a cooking device in this embodiment includes a support frame with a rotatable cooking pot 105 mounted on it. The support frame includes two base frames 100, and support columns 102 are mounted opposite each other on the two base frames 100. A liftable strainer basket 106 is provided between the support columns 102 and above the cooking pot 105. An installation cavity is provided inside the support column 102, and a lifting component for driving the strainer basket 106 to move up and down is provided inside the installation cavity. The lower end of the strainer basket 106 is open, and an openable and closable bottom plate 305 is provided at the opening via a hinge. A locking component is provided on the strainer basket 106 for locking the bottom plate 305 when it is closed. Mounting frames 103 are mounted opposite each other between the support columns 102, and a slidable unloading hopper 108 is provided between the mounting frames 103. The unloading hopper 108 is used to guide the konjac slices in the strainer basket 106.

[0035] In actual use, the konjac slices to be steamed are placed in the strainer basket 106, and the strainer basket 106 is lowered into the cooking pot 105 by the lifting component for steaming. When the konjac slices are steamed until they are transparent and elastic and have no raw taste, the strainer basket 106 can be removed from the cooking pot 105, so that the konjac slices can be taken out of the cooking pot 105. This eliminates the need for manual removal of the konjac slices from the cooking pot 105 and better avoids scalding the staff in the water in the cooking pot 105.

[0036] With the installation frame 103 and the unloading hopper 108, when the konjac slices are cooked and the strainer basket 106 is moved to the top of the cooking pot 105, the unloading hopper 108 is slid along the installation frame 103 to the bottom of the strainer basket 106. At this time, the bottom plate 305 is rotated by the hinge to open the lower opening of the strainer basket 106, so that the konjac slices in the strainer basket 106 can be discharged through the unloading hopper 108, which facilitates the collection of konjac slices and improves work efficiency.

[0037] In actual use, the cooking pot 105 has the existing structure, and the side wall of the strainer 106 is provided with a leakage hole 306. When the strainer 106 is located inside the cooking pot 105, the water in the cooking pot 105 can enter the strainer 106 better, and the konjac slices in the strainer 106 can be steamed through the cooking pot 105.

[0038] The locking component is designed so that when the base plate 305 rotates to block the opening of the basket 106, the locking component can lock and fix the base plate 305, thereby allowing the opening of the basket 106 to be normally closed, so that the konjac slices can be better placed into the basket 106.

[0039] Among them, a reinforcing plate 101 is provided between the opposing side walls of the support column 102 and the base frame 100. The reinforcing plate 101 makes the connection between the base frame 100 and the support column 102 more secure, thereby improving the strength of the support.

[0040] In this embodiment, a connecting shaft 201 is provided on the outer side wall of the cooking pot 105. The connecting shaft 201 is rotatably mounted on the corresponding support column 102 through a bearing. A servo motor 202 is mounted on one of the two support columns 102. The servo motor 202 is used to drive the corresponding connecting shaft 201 servo motor 202 to rotate.

[0041] In practical use, this embodiment, through the connection shaft 201 and the servo motor 202, allows the servo motor 202 to be activated when the water in the pot 105 needs to be replaced. This drives the corresponding connection shaft 201 to rotate, causing the pot 105 to rotate and allowing the water in the pot 105 to be poured out. By reversing the rotation of the servo motor 202, the pot 105 can be reset, allowing the operator to add water.

[0042] Combination Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, two support columns 102 are respectively vertically installed on the corresponding base frame 100. The mounting frame 103 is set vertically to the support columns 102. The mounting frame 103 has a long groove 200 along its length direction on the opposite side wall. The unloading hopper 108 has a long block that slides into the corresponding long groove 200 on the opposite side wall.

[0043] In actual use, a locking bolt 107 is threaded on one side wall of the mounting bracket 103. The locking bolt 107 allows the discharge hopper 108 to be pushed when the lifting assembly raises the strainer basket 106 from the cooking pot 105, so that the long strip can slide along the long groove 200. When the long strip abuts against one end of the long groove 200, the discharge hopper 108 is positioned below the strainer basket 106. At this time, by tightening the locking bolt 107, the locking bolt 107 extends into the long groove 200 and abuts against the long strip, so that the long strip cannot slide in the long groove 200. This allows the discharge hopper 108 to be fixed between the mounting brackets 103, so that the discharge hopper 108 can guide the material better.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the two support columns 102 have a sliding groove 110 connected to the mounting cavity along their height direction on their opposite sidewalls. The lifting assembly includes a threaded rod 303 that rotates in the mounting cavity. A lifting block 304 is threaded on the threaded rod 303. A connecting rod 109 that extends out of the corresponding sliding groove 110 is provided on the lifting block 304. The connecting rod 109 is connected to the sidewall of the basket 106. The two threaded rods 303 rotate synchronously to realize the synchronous lifting of the two lifting blocks 304.

[0045] In actual use, the mounting cavity is set along the height direction of the support column 102, and both ends of the two threaded rods 303 are rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity through bearing seats;

[0046] The lifting block 304 is slidably disposed in the mounting cavity. By synchronously rotating the two threaded rods 303, the two threaded rods 303 can synchronously drive the corresponding lifting block 304 to rise and fall, thereby enabling the lifting block 304 to synchronously drive the corresponding connecting rod 109 to rise and fall, thus driving the basket 106 to rise and fall.

[0047] In order to enable the two threaded rods 303 to rotate synchronously, in this embodiment, a top platform 104 is provided between the top ends of the support column 102, and a cavity is provided inside the top platform 104. The two threaded rods 303 extend into the cavity through the corresponding mounting cavity, and a sprocket 300 is provided on the extension end of each of the two threaded rods 303. The two sprockets 300 are connected to each other by a chain 301. A drive motor 302 is provided on the bottom wall of the cavity through a mounting seat. The drive motor 302 is used to drive one of the two threaded rods 303 to rotate.

[0048] In actual use, the drive motor 302 is mounted on the bottom side wall of the chamber via a mounting base. The drive motor 302 drives the corresponding threaded rod 303 to rotate through the sprocket 300 and chain 301. The two threaded rods 303 can rotate synchronously through the cooperation of the sprocket 300 and chain 301, so as to realize the lifting and lowering adjustment of the basket 106.

[0049] The chamber has an opening on one side, and a detachable side plate is installed at the opening position by screws. The side plate allows the components inside the chamber to be installed. Specifically, in order to ensure the operation of the drive motor 302, a heat dissipation groove is provided on the side plate.

[0050] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the hinge includes a connecting plate 402 disposed opposite to the outer wall of the basket 106, and an L-shaped mounting plate 400 disposed opposite to the outer wall of the base plate 305. The opposite mounting plates 400 extend between the connecting plates 402, and a hinge shaft 401 is provided between the connecting plates 402, penetrating the mounting plate 400.

[0051] In actual use, one end of the two mounting plates 400 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the base plate 305, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting plate 402 through the hinge shaft 401, so that the base plate 305 can be hinged at the lower opening of the basket 106 so that the base plate 305 can be rotated and opened.

[0052] Combination Figures 5-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking assembly includes a fixing plate 600 disposed opposite to the outer wall of the basket 106, a slidable locking rod 602 disposed between the opposing fixing plates 600, an abutment piece 604 sleeved on the locking rod 602 located between the two fixing plates 600, and a spring 603 sleeved on the locking rod 602. The locking assembly also includes a locking plate 605 disposed on the outer wall of the base plate 305, a locking hole provided on the locking plate 605, and the spring 603 is used to push the abutment piece 604 to move so that one end of the locking rod 602 is inserted into the locking hole.

[0053] In actual use, two fixing plates 600 are installed opposite each other and perpendicularly on the outer wall of the trough basket 106. Both ends of the locking rod 602 extend through the corresponding fixing plates 600. The abutment piece 604 and the spring 603 are arranged such that one end of the spring 603 abuts against one side wall of the fixing plate 600 and the other end abuts against one side wall of the abutment piece 604, so that it pushes one end of the locking rod 602 to extend through the fixing plate 600. When the bottom plate 305 is rotated to the lower opening of the trough basket 106, one end of the locking rod 602 extends into the lock hole, so that the bottom plate 305 is fixed.

[0054] In actual use, a first inclined surface 701 is provided at one end of the locking rod 602, and a second inclined surface 606 is provided at the upper end of the locking plate 605 to cooperate with the first inclined surface 701. Through the arrangement of the first inclined surface 701 and the second inclined surface 606, rotating the base plate 305 causes the base plate 305 to rotate, thus driving the locking plate 605 to rotate. When the second inclined surface 606 slides against the first inclined surface 701, continuing to rotate the base plate 305 allows the second inclined surface 606 to slide along the first inclined surface 701 and press against it. This allows the first inclined surface 701 to drive the locking rod 602 to compress the spring 603 via the abutment piece 604. When the base plate 305... When the lock rod 602 rotates and abuts against the lower opening of the basket 106, the lock hole and the lock rod 602 are aligned, causing the second inclined surface 606 to stop pressing against the first inclined surface 701. Under the action of the spring 603, the spring 603 can push the abutment piece 604 to drive the lock rod 602 into the lock hole, thereby completing the locking and fixing of the base plate 305, making the use of the locking assembly more convenient. When it is necessary to open the lower opening of the basket 106, pull the other end of the lock rod 602 outward to disengage one end of the lock rod 602 from the lock hole. At this time, the lock rod 602 releases the locking and fixing of the base plate 305, allowing the base plate 305 to rotate and open the lower opening of the basket 106.

[0055] In order to better fit the first inclined surface 701 to the second inclined surface 606, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 700 is provided on the outer side wall of the locking rod 602 along its axial direction, and a limiting block that slides into the limiting groove 700 is provided on one side wall of one of the two fixing plates 600.

[0056] In actual use, the locking rod 602 cannot rotate in the mounting hole due to the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove 700, thereby allowing the first inclined surface 701 to fit better against the second inclined surface 606.

[0057] In order to facilitate the operator to pull the locking rod 602 outward, a pull post 601 is provided at the other end of the locking rod 602. The pull post 601 facilitates the operator to pull the locking rod 602 outward. Specifically, the pull post 601 and the abutment piece 604 are both threaded onto the locking rod 602 to facilitate the assembly of the locking assembly.

[0058] In practical use, the konjac slices are first placed in the strainer basket 106. The drive motor 302 rotates the two threaded rods 303 synchronously, causing the strainer basket 106 to descend into the cooking pot 105 for steaming. When the konjac slices are steamed until they are transparent, elastic, and have no raw taste, the drive motor 302 rotates the two threaded rods 303 synchronously, causing the strainer basket 106 to rise out of the cooking pot 105. Water from the konjac slices can then return through the drain holes 306 on the strainer basket 106. After draining in the cooking pot 105, slide the unloading hopper 108 to the position below the strainer basket 106, tighten the locking bolt 107 to fix the unloading hopper 108, pull the pull column 601 outward to disengage the locking rod 602 from the locking hole, so that the bottom plate 305 can rotate around the hinge shaft 401 and open the lower opening of the strainer basket 106, so that the konjac slices in the strainer basket 106 can fall onto the unloading hopper 108. The unloading hopper 108 can then be used to collect the cooked konjac slices.
