[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the lifting mechanism 2 of the cooking device is applied to the cooking device and includes a lifting bracket 20, a container support 30, and a drive assembly 40. The lifting bracket 20 includes two lifting rods 21, and a fixing plate 22 is provided between the lifting rods 21. The fixing plate 22 has two guide holes, through which the lifting rods 21 pass and are fixedly connected to the fixing plate 22. The container support 30 is disposed at the upper end of the lifting bracket 20 and has a slot 321. The output end of the drive assembly 40 is connected to the lifting bracket 20, and the drive assembly 40 drives the lifting bracket 20 to slide up and down, thereby causing the lifting bracket 20 to move up and down.

[0033] The lifting rod 21 is the main moving component. Each lifting rod 21 is designed with a cylindrical or square cross-section. The upper end of the lifting rod 21 is connected to the container support 30 by welding, bolting or other fastening methods to ensure the stability of the container support 30 during the lifting process.

[0034] To ensure smooth sliding and durability, the surface of the lifting rod 21 undergoes special treatment, such as chrome plating or spraying a wear-resistant coating, to reduce frictional resistance with the slide groove of the frame 1. Furthermore, the length and diameter (or cross-sectional dimensions) of the lifting rod 21 are rationally designed according to the load-bearing requirements of the actual application and the dimensions of the frame 1 to ensure sufficient rigidity and stability while bearing the weight of the food container and its contents.

[0035] The drive assembly 40 drives the lifting bracket 20, which in turn drives the container bracket 30 to rise and fall. Through electronic control, the food container is automatically raised and lowered, preventing overcooking. The fixing plate 22 connects the lifting rod 21 and drives its movement. The fixing plate 22 has two guide holes for mounting the lifting rod 21, ensuring that both lifting rods 21 remain vertical during movement. This guarantees correct installation and prevents abnormal noise from the lifting rods 21 during operation, resulting in more efficient operation.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4The fixing plate 22 is vertically connected to the lifting rod 21. The guide hole protrudes from the surface of the fixing plate 22 and extends along the vertical direction of the fixing plate 22. A fastening hole is provided on the side wall of the guide hole. The lifting rod 21 passes through the guide hole of the fixing plate 22 and is fixed in the fixing plate 22 by fasteners. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 22 is square. Depending on actual needs, the fixing plate 22 can also be set as an ellipse, a long strip, or other shapes. The fixing plate 22 is vertically connected to the lifting rod, and the guide hole extends vertically along the surface of the fixing plate 22. The guide hole can limit the circumferential movement of the lifting rod 21, keeping the lifting rod 21 vertical, thus keeping the two lifting rods 21 parallel. This provides excellent limiting and guiding functions, preventing the lifting rod 21 from swaying during up-and-down movement and reducing abnormal noise from the lifting bracket.

[0037] Furthermore, the fixing plate 22 is also provided with reinforcing ribs, which extend in both vertical and horizontal directions. In this embodiment, the reinforcing ribs are cross-shaped and located at the center of the fixing plate 22. The reinforcing ribs increase the strength of the fixing plate 22, making it less prone to deformation and helping to stabilize the lifting rod 21 during movement. The fixing plate 22 is typically made of corrosion-resistant metal material to withstand long-term repeated loads and harsh working environments. To improve the strength and wear resistance of the fixing plate 22, it can also be subjected to heat treatment, surface coating, and other processes.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, a sensing ring 23 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 22. The sensing ring 23 is located on the side of the fixing plate 22, and a sensor 14 is provided at a corresponding position on the frame 1. The sensor 14 can be a proximity switch, photoelectric sensor, magnetic sensor, etc., and the specific type is selected according to the characteristics of the sensing ring 23. The function of the sensor 14 is to detect the sensing ring 23 and transmit the detected signal to the control system. When the lifting bracket 20 drives the fixing plate 22 and the sensing ring 23 to move up and down, the sensor 14 can detect the position of the sensing ring 23 in real time, thereby determining the precise position of the lifting bracket 20. This helps the control system to accurately control the movement of the lifting bracket 20, thereby automatically checking the lifting height, realizing the accurate lifting of the food container, realizing the automated cooking function, and enabling the cooking device to operate intelligently.

[0039] Reference Figures 3 to 4 The drive assembly 40 includes a drive member 41. The output end of the drive member 41 is connected to a first connecting rod 42. The other end of the first connecting rod 42 is hinged to a second connecting rod 43. The other end of the second connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 22. The fixed plate 22 drives the connected lifting rod 21 to move.

[0040] The drive unit 41 is the core component of the drive assembly 40. It can be an electric motor, pneumatic motor, hydraulic device, or other power device, possessing sufficient power to move the lifting bracket 20 and the food container it carries. When the drive unit 41 is activated, it drives the first connecting rod 42 to rotate. The rotation of the first connecting rod 42 further drives the second connecting rod 43 to move. Since the other end of the second connecting rod 43 is connected to the fixed plate 22, this movement is ultimately converted into the up-and-down sliding of the lifting bracket 20 on the frame 1. The length and shape of the first connecting rod 42 are designed according to actual needs to ensure that the driving force can be effectively transmitted during rotation and to maintain the stability of the mechanism. The second connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 42, and the other end is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 22. This double-link structure allows the output of the drive assembly 40 to be transmitted to the lifting bracket 20 more smoothly, avoiding the impact and instability that may be caused by direct drive. At the same time, by adjusting the length of the connecting rod and the position of the connection point, precise control of the movement trajectory of the lifting bracket 20 can be achieved. Furthermore, the connection of the linkage can reduce the space occupied by the movement of the drive assembly 40, and multiple drive assemblies 40 and container supports 30 can be set next to the furnace body to increase the efficiency of the cooking device.

[0041] The container support 30 includes a base 31, which is detachably connected to two lifting rods 21. A mounting portion 32 is provided at the upper end of the base 31, and a slot 321 is disposed on the mounting portion 32. The container support 30 is easy to install and provides better support and mounting for food containers. Furthermore, the container support 30 also includes a hanging ring 34, on which a buckle 33 is provided. The buckle 33 is detachably disposed within the slot 321. The hanging ring 34 can limit the position of the food container, facilitating its placement and making the cooking device more convenient to use.

[0042] The container support 30 includes a portion fixedly connected to the lifting support 20 and a detachable portion. The fixed connection portion includes a base 31 and a mounting part 32. The base 31 can be connected by bolts, snap-fit ​​connections, or other quick-connect methods to ensure that the container support 30 can be securely fixed to the lifting support 20, while also facilitating replacement or adjustment. During installation, simply align the base 31 with the lifting support 20 and then secure it with bolts, snap-fits, or other fasteners. The mounting part 32 is a structure set on the base 31 for mounting food containers. The mounting part 32 is provided with slots 321, which are matched according to the hanging ring design of the food container. The shape and size of the slots 321 are determined according to the size and shape of the hanging ring to ensure that the hanging ring can be stably hung on the slots 321. To enhance stability and safety, the edges of the slots 321 can be chamfered or rounded to prevent the hanging ring from being scratched or damaged during hanging. At the same time, the depth and width of the card slot 321 should be appropriate, so as to ensure that the hanging ring can be easily hooked in, and to prevent it from accidentally falling off during operation.

[0043] The detachable connection includes a buckle 33 and a hanging ring 34. The buckle 33 is used to connect with the mounting part 32, and the hanging ring 34 is used to secure the food container. The buckle 33 is the part that mates with the slot 321 of the mounting part 32. The buckle 33 can be designed as a ring, hook, or other shape to facilitate hanging on the slot 321. When installing the food container, simply align the buckle 33 with the slot 321 and gently hook it in. Because the slot 321 and the buckle 33 are designed to match, it ensures that the food container remains stable during lifting and lowering and will not fall off due to vibration or impact.

[0044] Furthermore, a support portion 322 is provided on the side of the mounting part 32 facing the buckle 33, and the support portion 322 abuts against the buckle 33. This support portion 322 can be a protruding part, and its shape and size are designed according to the shape of the buckle 33 to ensure good contact with the buckle 33. The main function of the support portion 322 is to abut against the buckle 33, increasing the stability of the buckle 33 in the slot 321. When the hanging ring 34 is engaged in the slot 321, the support portion 322 applies an upward force to the buckle 33, causing the buckle 33 to lift upward, thereby preventing the buckle 33 from bending or sagging due to vibration or weight during operation. The support portion 322 also serves a positioning function. When the buckle 33 is engaged in the slot 321, the support portion 322 helps the operator quickly and accurately find the correct position of the buckle 33, improving installation efficiency.

[0045] See attached document Figure 3 and attached Figure 4In this embodiment, the base 31 is plate-shaped, the mounting part 32 is triangular, and some of its surfaces facing inwards towards the oven body are inclined. The slot 321 is located at the upper end of the mounting part 32. The buckle 33 includes an inclined upper part and a vertical lower part, and the hanging ring 34 is horizontally fixed to the lower end of the buckle 33. During installation, the inclined upper part of the buckle 33 cooperates with the inclined surface of the mounting part 32, and the upper end of the buckle 33 is inserted into the slot 321. A crossbar is provided on the buckle 33, and the support part 322 of the mounting part 32 has a support groove on its inclined surface. The crossbar is inserted into the support groove for fixation, and the support groove provides support to the crossbar, ensuring that the hanging ring 34 at the lower end of the buckle 33 remains horizontal and that the food container can be placed stably.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 2 According to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention, the cooking apparatus includes a frame 1 and any of the aforementioned lifting mechanisms 2. Multiple lifting mechanisms 2 are provided, evenly arranged on both sides of the frame 1, and a lifting bracket 20 passes through the frame 1. The cooking apparatus achieves automatic lifting of the food container through electronic control, thereby preventing overcooking of the food.

[0047] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 In this embodiment of the invention, the frame 1 has three installation positions on both the left and right sides, spaced apart. The lifting bracket 20, container bracket 30, and drive assembly 40 are each corresponding to one of the installation positions. Each installation position is pre-designed with a corresponding interface and fixing structure to ensure that each component can be securely installed. The cooking device uses electronic control to automatically lift and lower the food container, thus preventing overcooking. The lifting mechanism 2 can perform smooth lifting and lowering movements, making its operation smoother and more efficient. The lifting mechanism 2 is connected to the frame 1 for movement. Multiple lifting mechanisms 2 working simultaneously provide a highly efficient cooking process and improve cooking efficiency.

[0048] By providing multiple installation locations, this invention offers greater flexibility and scalability. Users can add or remove the number of lifting mechanisms on the frame 1 according to actual needs to meet different production requirements. Furthermore, since each installation location is independent, individual lifting mechanisms can be easily maintained or replaced without affecting the normal operation of other mechanisms.

[0049] Additionally, the frame 1 includes a top edge 11 and a support plate 12, the support plate 12 being horizontally positioned within the frame 1. Flanges 13 are provided on the top edge 11 and the support plate 12, through which the lifting rod 21 passes and connects to the frame 1. The flanges 13 facilitate smooth movement of the lifting rod 21, ensuring stable movement of the lifting bracket 20 and improving the user experience of the cooking device.

[0050] To coordinate with the sensing ring 23 of the lifting mechanism 2, a corresponding sensor 14 is installed on the frame 1 next to each lifting device. The sensor 14 is located next to the fixed plate 22. The sensor 14 and the sensing ring 23 work together to detect the position of the lifting bracket 20, thereby automatically checking the lifting height and realizing automated cooking function, which is more intelligent and efficient.
