Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking machines, and more particularly to an automatic cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pace of life becomes increasingly fast, automatic cooking machines have come into view, assisting chefs in cooking dishes and speeding up the preparation of meals.

[0003] A typical automatic cooking machine includes a heat source to heat the pot, a feeding component to add ingredients sequentially, and a seasoning component to add seasonings. To ensure even heating, it also includes a stirring component to stir the ingredients. This stirring component includes a stirring rod extending into the pot, with several stirring spatulas attached to it. The stirring rod drives the spatulas to rotate inside the pot, thus stirring the ingredients. However, because the spatulas are fixed to the stirring rod, they can only rotate around the rod's axis and cannot rotate on their own axis. The ingredients are thus pushed around the stirring rod by the spatulas, hindering proper stirring and causing uneven heating, which negatively impacts the taste of the dish.

[0004] Therefore, how to design an automatic cooking machine that can heat food evenly has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides an automatic cooking machine to at least solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] An automatic cooking machine is provided, including a lid and a pot lid on the pot body;

[0007] Stir-frying component, installed inside the pot lid for stir-frying ingredients;

[0008] The stir-frying assembly includes a transmission gear, a gear ring, planetary gears, a stirring structure, and a drive mechanism for driving the transmission gear to rotate.

[0009] The transmission gear is rotatably mounted on the pot lid, the gear ring is sleeved on the outside of the transmission gear and fixedly connected to the pot lid, and the planetary gear is installed between the gear ring and the transmission gear. The planetary gear meshes synchronously with the gear ring and the transmission gear.

[0010] The stirring structure is fixedly mounted on the planetary gear.

[0012] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor and a drive gear, the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive gear, and the drive gear meshes with the first transmission gear.

[0013] In one embodiment, the system includes a base, which is fixedly mounted on the pot lid. The inner wall of the base is provided with a positioning plate, and a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, an extension cylinder is included, which is rotatably mounted on a positioning plate and extends through a connecting cylinder into the pot body; a sealing plate is fixedly connected to the extension cylinder by a connecting nut, and a planetary gear is rotatably mounted on the sealing plate, which is used to seal the opening of the gear ring.

[0015] In one embodiment, the stirring structure includes a connecting seat and a stirring spatula. The connecting seat is fixedly mounted on the planetary gear, and the stirring spatula is fixed to the connecting seat by bolts.

[0016] In one embodiment, the system also includes a positioning sleeve, which is fixedly mounted on a positioning plate. The positioning sleeve extends through an extension cylinder into the pot body. The positioning sleeve is provided with several feeding pipes, which are connected to the liquid seasoning.

[0041] 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.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the workbench 10 is provided with a heat source. In this embodiment, the heat source is an induction cooker, which can be used to heat the pot. The workbench 10 is also provided with a lid 1 for attaching to the pot. The workbench 10 is provided with a flipping mechanism 100 that can lift the lid 1, thereby opening the pot to add ingredients or solid seasonings into the pot.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the flipping mechanism 100 can be a flipping motor, which is fixedly installed on the workbench 10. The output shaft of the flipping motor is connected to the pot lid 1 to achieve the flipping of the pot lid 1.

[0044] In order to enable the stir-frying of ingredients inside the pot, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pot lid 1 is equipped with a stir-frying component 2. When the pot lid 1 is placed on the pot body, the stir-frying component 2 extends into the pot body and can stir-fry the ingredients inside the pot body.

[0045] Specifically, in order to add ingredients and solid seasonings into the pot, the workbench 10 is equipped with a sprinkling component 7 and a feeding component 8 on both sides of the heat source. The sprinkling component 7 is used to add solid seasonings into the pot, and the feeding component 8 is used to add ingredients into the pot.

[0046] In order to facilitate the addition of ingredients, such as Figure 2 As shown, the feeding assembly 8 includes a moving plate 81 and several material boxes 82 placed on the moving plate 81. The material boxes 82 are used to store different kinds of ingredients. The assembly also includes a feeding motor 84 for pouring the ingredients in the material boxes 82 into the pot. An electromagnetic connector 85 for connecting the feeding motor 84 to the material boxes 82 is provided between the output end of the feeding motor 84 and the material boxes 82.

[0047] When ingredients need to be placed into the pot, the electromagnetic connector 85 is connected to the corresponding ingredient box 82, and then the feeding motor 84 drives the ingredient box 82 to flip, thereby pouring the ingredients in the ingredient box 82 into the pot.

[0048] Specifically, the electromagnetic connector 85 includes an electromagnet and several armature plates, wherein the several armature plates are fixedly installed on the corresponding material box 82, and the electromagnet is fixedly installed on the output end of the feeding motor 84. During the feeding process, the material box 82 is moved to correspond with the electromagnet, and then the electromagnet is energized, so that the material box 82 is attracted to the electromagnet, thereby realizing the connection between the feeding motor 84 and the material box 82, so that the material can be fed into the pot.

[0049] In order to enable the movement of the material box 82 and connect the feeding motor 84 to different material boxes 82, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the movable disk 81 is slidably connected to the worktable 10 via the slide rail 811. A rack 812 is fixedly provided on the bottom wall of the movable disk 81. It also includes a translation mechanism 83 fixedly installed on the worktable 10. The translation mechanism 83 includes a motor and a gear. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the gear. By utilizing the meshing between the gear and the rack 812, the movable disk 81 can be driven to move, thereby changing the position of the material box 82.

[0050] In order to allow the addition of solid seasonings to the inside of the pot, in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the sprinkling assembly 7 includes a receiving sleeve 72, wherein a seasoning box 73 and an electric push rod 74 for driving the seasoning box 73 to move are slidably connected inside the receiving sleeve 72, wherein the axis of the receiving sleeve 72 is placed horizontally, and the output end of the electric push rod 74 is rotatably connected to the seasoning box 73.

[0051] When solid seasonings are added to the pot, the electric push rod 74 pushes the seasoning box 73 out of the storage sleeve 72, and then uses the sprinkling port 731 on the seasoning box 73 to sprinkle the solid seasonings in the seasoning box 73 into the pot, thus adding solid seasonings. When no seasonings are added, the electric push rod 74 retracts the seasoning box 73 into the inner cavity of the storage sleeve 72 to prevent the seasonings in the seasoning box 73 from leaking out.

[0052] Specifically, to prevent the seasonings stored in the storage sleeve 72 from leaking out, in this embodiment, the inner wall of the storage sleeve 72 is also provided with a guide rail 721, and the side wall of the seasoning box 73 is also fixedly provided with a guide rod 722 extending into the guide rail 721. The sprinkling port 731 is provided on the peripheral wall of the seasoning box 73. When the seasoning box 73 is stored inside the storage sleeve 72, the sprinkling port 731 of the seasoning box 73 faces upward to avoid leakage of solid seasonings. When the seasoning box 73 extends out of the inner cavity of the storage sleeve 72, the sprinkling port 731 of the seasoning box 73 faces downward, thereby sprinkling out the solid seasonings to achieve the addition of solid seasonings.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail 721 includes a straight rail 7211 and an arc-shaped rail 7212 connected to the straight rail 7211. The guide rail 721 is disposed on the inner wall of the storage sleeve 72. The straight rail 7211 is disposed along the axial direction of the storage sleeve 72. The arc-shaped rail 7212 is rotated 180° around the axis of the storage sleeve 72. The guide rod 722 can slide inside the guide rail 721. The angle of the sprinkling port 731 of the seasoning box 73 is adjusted by the cooperation between the guide rod 722 and the guide rail 721.

[0054] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a support plate 71, which is fixedly installed on the workbench 10 to fix the storage sleeve 72.

[0055] In order to stir-fry the ingredients inside the pot and improve the evenness of heating, in this embodiment, as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the stir-frying assembly 2 includes a transmission gear 21, a gear ring 22, a planetary gear 23, a stirring structure 24, and a drive mechanism 25 for driving the transmission gear 21 to rotate. The transmission gear 21 is rotatably mounted on the pot lid 1, the gear ring 22 is fixedly mounted on the pot lid 1, and the gear ring 22 is sleeved on the outside of the transmission gear 21. The axis of the transmission gear 21 coincides with the axis of the gear ring 22. The planetary gear 23 is installed between the gear ring 22 and the transmission gear 21. The planetary gear 23 meshes with the inner teeth of the gear ring 22 and the outer teeth of the transmission gear 21. The stirring structure 24 is fixedly mounted on the planetary gear 23.

[0056] Specifically, the stirring structure 24 includes a connecting seat 241 fixedly mounted on the planetary gear 23 and a stir-fry spatula 242 fixedly mounted on the connecting seat 241 by bolts. The stir-fry spatula 242 can be removed from the connecting seat 241 for replacement. The stir-fry spatula 242 can be used to stir-fry the ingredients.

[0057] When the lid 1 is attached to the pot body, the stirring structure 24 extends into the inner cavity of the pot body. The drive mechanism 25 drives the transmission gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the planetary gear 23 to rotate around the transmission gear 21. At the same time, the transmission gear 21 also rotates around its own axis. When the stirring structure 24 stirs the food in the pot body, it can make the food rotate around the pot body in a circumferential direction, and at the same time make the food rotate around the axis of the stirring structure 24 itself, preventing the food from accumulating at the stirring structure 24 and improving the heating effect of the food.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the transmission gear 21 includes a first transmission gear 211, a second transmission gear 212, and a connecting cylinder 213. The connecting cylinder 213 is mounted on the pot lid 1 via bearings. The first transmission gear 211 and the second transmission gear 212 are respectively mounted on the two ends of the connecting cylinder 213. The drive mechanism 25 meshes with the first transmission gear 211, and the second transmission gear 212 meshes with the planetary gear 23.

[0059] To achieve the installation of the drive mechanism 25, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a base 3 that is bolted to the pot lid 1, wherein a positioning plate 31 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the base 3, as shown. Figure 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 25 includes a drive motor 251 and a drive gear 252. The drive motor 251 is fixedly mounted on the positioning plate 31, and the output shaft of the drive motor 251 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 252. The drive gear 252 meshes with the first transmission gear 211.

[0060] Since the gear ring 22, planetary gear 23 and transmission gear 21 are exposed inside the pot, the food or seasonings inside the pot are likely to get stuck in the path of the planetary gear 23, thus affecting the movement of the stirring structure 24.

[0061] Therefore, in this embodiment, a packaging plate 42 is also included, wherein the planetary gear 23 is rotatably mounted on the packaging plate 42, and the packaging plate 42 is used to seal the opening of the gear ring 22. An extension cylinder 4 is also included, which is rotatably mounted on the positioning plate 31. The extension cylinder 4 extends through the connecting cylinder 213 into the inner cavity of the pot body. The extension cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the packaging plate 42 by the connecting nut 41.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a positioning sleeve 5 extending through the extension cylinder 4 into the pot body is also fixedly installed on the positioning plate 31. The positioning sleeve 5 contains several feeding pipes 6 connected to external liquid seasonings. It also includes a peristaltic pump, which compresses the feeding pipes 6, thereby conveying the liquid seasonings into the pot body, thus achieving the addition of liquid seasonings. It is worth noting that solid seasonings include salt, chicken essence, chicken powder, MSG, sugar, etc.; liquid seasonings can be vinegar, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking oil, cooking wine, and water, etc.
