[0036] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the pot lid provided by this utility model can be applied to intelligent cooking equipment.
[0037] The pot lid includes a lid body 110, a stirrer, and a oscillating mechanism.
[0038] The stirrer includes a shaft 120 and stirring blades 130 connected to each other. There can be one or two stirring blades 130; when there are two, the two stirring blades 130 are arranged in a straight line. When the shaft 120 is in a vertical position, the rotating mechanism on the lid can drive the shaft 120 to rotate, thereby stirring the ingredients in the pot.
[0039] The shaft 120 is hinged to the bottom surface of the cover 110, specifically, it can be connected to the drive shaft 111 of the rotating mechanism. A swing mechanism is disposed between the cover 110 and the shaft 120, used to drive the shaft 120 to swing to a vertical or horizontal state. In this embodiment, the rotating mechanism is disposed above the swing mechanism, which can drive the swing mechanism, shaft 120, and stirring blade 130 to move together. In other feasible solutions, the rotating mechanism can be disposed below the swing mechanism, that is, the swing mechanism drives the rotating mechanism, shaft 120, and stirring blade 130 to swing together.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lid can switch between two states. When cooking, the shaft 120 can be rotated to a vertical state, perpendicular to the bottom surface of the lid 110, through the swing mechanism. The stirring blade 130 can then stir the ingredients in the pot. When cooking is finished and the lid needs to be stored, the shaft 120 can be rotated to a horizontal state, parallel to the bottom surface of the lid 110, through the swing mechanism. The shaft 120 swings 90°, thus hiding the shaft 120 and the stirring blade 130 inside the lid 110, reducing the volume and making it easier to store.
[0041] A rotating mechanism is provided on the cover 110, and the rotating mechanism has a drive shaft 111. A motor is connected to the top end of the drive shaft 111, and the motor is used to drive the drive shaft 111 to rotate. The motor is fixedly connected to the cover 110. A first hinge part 1111 is provided on the drive shaft 111, and a second hinge part 121 is provided on the shaft 120. The first hinge part 1111 and the second hinge part 121 are hinged together by a hinge shaft 140.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the swing mechanism includes a rack 1112 and a linear drive unit 1113. The drive shaft 111 has a through hole extending along its length. The rack 1112 is located inside the through hole and can move up and down relative to the through hole. The linear drive unit 1113 is connected to the upper end of the rack 1112 and is located outside the through hole. The linear drive unit 1113 is used to drive the rack 1112 to move along the length of the drive shaft 111. A gear 1211 is provided on the second hinge part 121. The gear 1211 is fixedly connected to the shaft 120. The gear 1211 is concentric with the hinge shaft 140. That is, after the gear 1211 rotates, the shaft 120 can rotate around the hinge shaft 140. The rack 1112 meshes with the gear 1211. When the rack 1112 moves up and down, the rack 1112 drives the gear 1211 to rotate, thereby driving the shaft 120 to swing to a horizontal state and a vertical state.
[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the first hinge portion 1111 includes a first lug and a second lug spaced apart, with the first lug and the second lug having the same shape. The gear 1211 is located between the first lug and the second lug; the hinge shaft 140 passes through the first lug, the gear 1211, and the second lug, improving the connection strength and reducing the probability of damage to the first hinge portion 1111 and the second hinge portion 121.
[0044] The top end face of the shaft 120 has a downwardly extending mounting hole. A portion of the drive shaft 111 extends into the mounting hole and connects to the second hinge portion 121 at the bottom of the mounting hole. A notch communicating with the end face of the shaft 120 is provided on the circumferential sidewall of the mounting hole. When the shaft 120 and drive shaft 111 swing relative to each other, the notch avoids the drive shaft 111, allowing the shaft 120 to swing to a horizontal position after the drive shaft 111 passes the notch. Furthermore, a limiting surface is located on the inner wall of the mounting hole, directly opposite the notch, to prevent the vertically positioned shaft 120 from continuing to move. At this point, the shaft 120 is parallel to the drive shaft 111, allowing the shaft 120 to be more accurately positioned vertically.
[0045] The number of stirring blades 130 can be only one. When there is only one, the length direction of the stirring blade 130 is parallel to the hinge shaft 140. For example... Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, there are two stirring blades 130, and the two stirring blades 130 are arranged on opposite sides of the shaft 120, both along the same straight line. In this embodiment, the arrangement direction of the two stirring blades 130 is parallel to the axial direction of the hinge shaft 140. This allows the two stirring blades 130 to be hidden parallel to each other under the cover 110 when the shaft 120 is rotated to a horizontal position, preventing the stirring blades 130 from protruding. In other possible implementations, the arrangement direction of the two stirring blades 130 can also be slightly inclined to the axial direction of the hinge shaft 140, as long as it is ensured that the stirring blades 130 do not protrude from the opening on the bottom surface of the lid when the shaft 120 is rotated to a horizontal position.
[0046] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pot lid also includes a robotic arm 210. The top of the robotic arm 210 is connected to the lid body 110, used to drive the lid body 110 to move vertically and to switch the lid body 110 between a horizontal and a vertical state. The bottom end of the robotic arm 210 can be connected to the countertop 300 of the integrated stove, and a through hole 310 can be provided on the countertop 300. The shaft 120 inside the pot lid can first rotate to a horizontal state, hiding the stirrer. Then, the robotic arm 210 can rotate the pot lid to a vertical state, and the robotic arm 210 retracts and descends, allowing the pot lid to pass through the through hole 310 and be hidden below the countertop 300. Conversely, the robotic arm 210 extends, raising the pot lid above the countertop 300, and then rotates the pot lid to a horizontal state. The shaft 120 inside the pot lid rotates to a vertical state, and the robotic arm 210 retracts and descends, allowing the pot lid to be placed on the cookware.
[0047] Furthermore, a distance sensor is installed on the stirrer to detect the distance between the bottom of the stirrer and the bottom of the pot, thereby determining whether the pot lid has been lowered into place. The distance sensor can be installed inside the stirring blade 130.
[0048] The integrated stove provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned pot lid. Because the integrated stove provided by this utility model uses the aforementioned pot lid, it also possesses the advantages of a pot lid.
[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
