Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a cooking device that can automatically detect the thickness of ingredients. Background Technology

[0002] A double-sided baking pan, a powerful kitchen helper, features a unique design with two pans that heat both sides of food simultaneously, making it ideal for grilling and frying various ingredients. However, traditional double-sided baking pans often lack automatic thickness detection, limiting their ability to adjust cooking parameters such as time and temperature based on the thickness of the food. This can affect cooking results, especially when handling ingredients of varying thicknesses.

[0003] To address this challenge, some innovative double-sided grill pans have emerged on the market. For example, a patent (publication number CN217161857U) discloses a grill with automatic food thickness detection. This machine infers the thickness of the food by monitoring the rotation angle of the handle. While this method alleviates the problem of food thickness detection to some extent, it still has some shortcomings:

[0004] 1. The connection between the rotating handle and the lower baking pan is usually achieved by hinged connection through a pivot inserted into a rotating hole. However, the gap between the pivot and the rotating hole may cause errors in the rotation angle, thus affecting the accurate measurement of food thickness. In addition, the difference in food thickness is usually small (1cm-2cm), which makes the change in the angle of the rotating handle not sensitive enough to the different thicknesses of food, resulting in insufficient accuracy of the method of determining food thickness by rotation angle;

[0005] 2. The detection component is located at the hinge between the rotating handle and the lower baking pan, making the hinge structure overly complex. This design not only makes disassembly and assembly inconvenient but also increases the difficulty of maintenance. When the detection component malfunctions or needs cleaning, users may need to invest more time and effort, and may even require the intervention of professional technicians. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cooking device that can automatically detect the thickness of ingredients, which has the advantages of simple structure, accurate detection and easy maintenance.

[0007] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a cooking device for self-detecting the thickness of food ingredients, comprising:

[0008] Place the food on a baking tray;

[0009] The handle can be rotated to rotate the lower baking tray;

[0010] An upper baking tray is mounted on the rotating handle, which can drive the upper baking tray to rotate toward or away from the lower baking tray.

[0011] A detection component is disposed on the lower baking pan or the rotating handle, and the detection component is capable of measuring the distance between the upper baking pan and the lower baking pan as the rotating handle rotates.

[0012] This invention provides a self-detecting cooking device for food thickness. By placing the detection component on the lower baking pan or the rotating handle, rather than at the hinge between the rotating handle and the lower baking pan, the device's structure is simplified, making it more aesthetically pleasing and facilitating disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the detection component can directly measure the distance between the upper and lower baking pans, improving detection accuracy.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection component includes a resistive element, a slider, and a lifting transmission part. The resistive element is fixedly mounted on the lower baking tray or the rotating handle. The slider is movably mounted on the resistive element. The lifting transmission part is connected to the slider and can drive the slider to move on the resistive element as the rotating handle rotates.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the slider relative to the resistive body can be driven by changing the height of the lifting transmission unit, thereby generating different electrical signals to the main control board. This enables the generation of different cooking parameters according to the thickness of the ingredients, achieving accurate detection of the thickness of the ingredients. At the same time, it simplifies the structure and improves the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment.

[0015] Furthermore, the detection component also includes a spring, the lifting transmission part is provided with a first mounting hole, the mounting box body has a second mounting hole, the spring is connected to the lifting transmission part, and the spring can accumulate or release elastic force as the lifting transmission part rises and falls.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring setting can provide an elastic force, which can play a role in resetting, buffering and stabilizing when the lifting transmission part is raised and lowered. It can not only reset the lifting transmission part after the rotating handle stops contacting, but also reduce the impact force during the lifting process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the detection component and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0017] Furthermore, the detection component also includes a cover body, which is placed on the resistive element. The cover body has a lifting groove on the side facing the lifting transmission part, and the sliding plate passes through the lifting groove and is connected to the lifting transmission part.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting groove is designed so that the slide can move along a predetermined path during the lifting process, avoiding relative displacement between the slide and the lifting transmission part, and improving the accuracy of measurement.

[0019] Furthermore, the lifting transmission unit has a connecting hole on the side facing the slide, and the slide can be inserted into the connecting hole.

[0020] By adopting the above solution and setting connection holes, the connection between the sliding plate and the lifting transmission part is more secure, avoiding the problem of loosening of the connection due to vibration or external force during cooking.

[0021] Furthermore, it also includes a mounting box, which is disposed on the lower baking tray or the rotating handle. The mounting box has a receiving cavity and a lifting hole. The resistor and the slider are disposed in the receiving cavity, and the lifting transmission part is movable in the lifting hole.

[0022] Furthermore, the mounting box includes a base and a cover plate, the base and the cover plate forming the receiving cavity, the base being fixedly mounted on the lower baking tray or the rotating handle, and the cover plate being detachably mounted on the side of the base away from the lower baking tray.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a base and cover are set in the mounting box, which facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the testing components and solves the problems of bulky structure and inconvenient disassembly and assembly at the hinge in the prior art.

[0024] Furthermore, the base is provided with a sliding rail, and the lifting transmission part is provided with a sliding block, which is movably disposed within the sliding rail.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a sliding rail on the base and a sliding block on the lifting transmission part, the mobility of the lifting transmission part within the sliding rail can be realized, thereby improving the lifting accuracy and stability of the detection component.

[0026] Furthermore, the mounting box body is provided with an oil baffle on the side facing away from the receiving cavity, and the oil baffle is arranged around the lifting hole.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution and installing an oil baffle on the mounting box, the problem of oil overflowing into the detection component can be effectively solved, thereby improving the cleanliness and service life of the equipment.

[0028] Furthermore, the detection component is disposed on the lower baking pan, and the rotating handle is provided with an abutment panel on the side facing the detection component. The abutment panel is used to abut against the detection component to assist the detection component in measuring the distance between the upper baking pan and the lower baking pan.

[0029] As can be seen from the above, the food thickness self-detection cooking device provided by this utility model simplifies the structure of the device by placing the detection component on the lower baking pan or the rotating handle, rather than at the hinge between the rotating handle and the lower baking pan, making the device more aesthetically pleasing and facilitating disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the detection component can directly measure the distance between the upper and lower baking pans, improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0040] As can be seen from the above, the food thickness self-detection cooking device provided by this utility model simplifies the structure of the device by placing the detection component 400 on the lower baking pan 100 or the rotating handle 200, rather than at the hinge between the rotating handle 200 and the lower baking pan 100. This makes the device more aesthetically pleasing and also facilitates disassembly and maintenance. Furthermore, the detection component 400 can directly measure the distance between the upper and lower baking pans 100, improving the accuracy of the detection.

[0041] In one embodiment, the detection component 400 is disposed on the lower baking pan 100, and the rotating handle 200 is provided with an abutment panel 210 on the side facing the detection component 400.

The cover 460 has a lifting groove 461 on the side facing the lifting transmission part 430, and the slide plate 440 passes through the lifting groove 461 and is connected to the lifting transmission part 430.

[0052] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting groove 461 enables the slide plate 440 to move along a predetermined path during the lifting process, avoiding relative displacement between the slide plate 440 and the lifting transmission part 430, and improving the accuracy of measurement.
