Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-service catering equipment technology, and more specifically to a hot water export device and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated cooking equipment, the hot water delivery device is one of the key components for realizing the cooking function, enabling the addition of hot water at the appropriate temperature to the cooking device. Traditional hot water delivery devices generally use a solenoid valve installed inside the boiling mechanism to control the hot water delivery. However, the solenoid valve is directly installed inside the boiling mechanism and is constantly exposed to a high-temperature water environment. Its internal electronic components and sealing materials are highly susceptible to the effects of high temperatures. Electronic components may experience performance instability or short circuits at high temperatures, causing the solenoid valve to malfunction and affecting hot water delivery. Sealing materials are prone to aging and deformation under high temperatures, leading to leaks, significantly shortening the lifespan of the solenoid valve, increasing equipment maintenance costs, and increasing the probability of failure. Once the solenoid valve malfunctions, the entire hot water delivery function is affected, resulting in poor equipment durability and stability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a hot water export device and cooking equipment to solve the technical problem that the hot water export function is blocked due to the solenoid valve being easily damaged by high temperature.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0026] Example 1

[0027] See Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment discloses a hot water outlet device 5, including: a water heating mechanism 51 and a water pouring mechanism 52; the water heating mechanism 51 is provided with an inlet pipe 512 and an outlet pipe 511, the water heating mechanism 51 is used to heat water, and the water pouring mechanism 52 is provided outside the water heating mechanism 51, used to drive the water heating mechanism 51 to rotate so that the heated water leaves the water heating mechanism 51 through the outlet pipe 511.

[0028] In this embodiment, the hot water outlet device 5 uses a water-pouring mechanism 52 to drive the water-heating mechanism 51 to rotate, thereby replacing the traditional solenoid valve water outlet method. The water-pouring mechanism 52 is installed outside the water-heating mechanism 51 and is physically isolated from the high-temperature part of the water-heating mechanism 51, which can effectively avoid damage to the water-pouring mechanism 52 caused by high temperature, extend the service life of the driving component, and reduce the probability of failure caused by high temperature. There is no need to install a solenoid valve inside the water-heating mechanism 51 to control the outlet of hot water, which reduces the risk of damage to the water-heating mechanism 51 and helps to improve the durability of the hot water outlet device 5.

[0029] Specifically, the water-pouring mechanism 52 includes a fixed frame 521 and a water-pouring drive component 522; the water-heating mechanism 51 passes through the fixed frame 521 and is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 521, and the water-pouring drive component 522 is used to drive the water-heating mechanism 51 to rotate. In specific implementation, the fixed frame 521 can be fixedly installed inside the equipment to realize the installation of the water-pouring mechanism 52. The fixed frame 521 provides installation positioning for the water-heating mechanism 51, ensuring that the water-heating mechanism 51 rotates on the fixed frame 521. The water-pouring drive component 522 cooperates with the fixed frame 521 to accurately drive the water-heating mechanism 51 to rotate, realizing the controllability and reliability of the water-pouring action.

[0030] Specifically, the water-pouring drive 522 is connected to the outside of the fixed frame 521, and the output shaft of the water-pouring drive 522 is connected to the water-heating mechanism 51. The water-pouring drive 522 is installed outside the fixed frame 521, which avoids direct contact with the high-temperature water-heating mechanism 51 and facilitates installation, debugging, and maintenance. The output shaft of the water-pouring drive 522 is directly connected to the water-heating mechanism 51, achieving efficient power transmission and ensuring that the water-heating mechanism 51 can rotate accurately according to the preset direction and angle, ensuring the smooth output of hot water.

[0031] In this embodiment, the water-pouring drive 522 is a motor. It is understood that in other embodiments, a motor, rotary cylinder, indexing device, or other drive components may be used instead of a motor.

[0032] Specifically, the fixed frame 521 includes a top plate 5211 and two side plates 5212. The side plates 5212 are located between the inlet pipe 512 and the outlet pipe 511, and the two side plates 5212 are arranged parallel to each other and are located on both sides of the water heating mechanism 51. The top plate 5211 is connected to the two side plates 5212 and is located above the water heating mechanism 51. The fixed frame 521 surrounds the water heating mechanism 51 from both sides and above, effectively preventing the water heating mechanism 51 from shifting or shaking during rotation, and ensuring the stability of the water pouring process. The bottom of the fixed frame 521 is open, providing ample water pouring space for the water heating mechanism 51. When the water pouring mechanism 52 drives the water heating mechanism 51 to rotate, the hot water flowing out from the outlet pipe 511 will not be blocked by the bottom of the fixed frame 521 and can flow down smoothly to leave the water heating mechanism 51, avoiding water waste and improving water pouring efficiency.

[0033] Specifically, the water heating mechanism 51 includes: a heating chamber 513 and a heating element; an inlet pipe 512 and an outlet pipe 511 are respectively disposed on two symmetrical side walls of the heating chamber 513; the heating element is disposed inside the heating chamber 513 and is used to heat the liquid inside the heating chamber 513. More specifically, the heating element includes, but is not limited to, an electromagnetic induction heating coil, a semiconductor heating element, an electric heating wire, an infrared heating tube, and a gas burner. The heating chamber 513 provides space to contain water, and the heating element is used to heat the water inside the chamber so that the liquid can be adjusted and heated to a preset temperature to meet the cooking needs of different ingredients; the symmetrical arrangement of the inlet pipe 512 and the outlet pipe 511 facilitates the control of water inflow and outflow and is not obstructed by the side plate 5212, which is beneficial for pipeline layout, installation, and maintenance.

[0034] Specifically, the outlet pipe 511 is positioned lower than the inlet pipe 512. This lower positioning helps to ensure that as much heated water as possible is discharged when the water-discharging mechanism 52 drives the heating mechanism 51 to rotate. This avoids excessive hot water residue due to the outlet pipe 511 being too high, ensuring that the water is fully utilized each time it is heated, reducing water waste and lowering operating costs. Furthermore, during the heating process, hotter water naturally rises and cooler water sinks. This continuous inflow and outflow of water creates better heat circulation, ensuring thorough mixing of the water within the heating chamber 513. This guarantees uniform heating, preventing localized overheating or undercooling, and thus ensuring that the hot water is always at a suitable temperature for cooking.

[0035] Specifically, the hot water outlet device 5 also includes a guiding mechanism 53. The guiding mechanism 53 is located below the outlet pipe 511 and is used to receive hot water and guide it away from the hot water outlet device 5. The guiding mechanism 53 can accurately receive the hot water flowing from the outlet pipe 511 and guide it into the cooking device 4, ensuring the safety and accuracy of hot water introduction. This ensures that hot water can smoothly enter the cooking device 4, providing protection for cooking ingredients, while also preventing accidental spillage of hot water, ensuring the safety of other components within the device, and extending the device's lifespan.

[0036] Specifically, the guiding mechanism 53 includes a water inlet 531 and a conduit 532. The inlet end of the water inlet 531 is positioned corresponding to the outlet pipe 511, and there is a gap between them. The conduit 532 is connected to the outlet end of the water inlet 531, and the conduit 532 and the water inlet 531 are interconnected. More specifically, the end of the conduit 532 away from the water inlet 531 extends above the cooking device 4. The water inlet 531 can effectively collect hot water. The gap between the water inlet 531 and the outlet pipe 511 provides rotation space for the water heating mechanism 51 and prevents hot water from splashing due to direct impact on the water inlet 531. The conduit 532 guides the hot water collected by the water inlet 531 to the top of the cooking device 4, realizing the directional delivery of hot water and ensuring that the hot water can accurately enter the cooking device 4, thereby improving the automation and efficiency of cooking.

[0037] Specifically, the water inlet 531 is funnel-shaped, and its diameter gradually decreases from the inlet end to the outlet end. This funnel-shaped design increases the inlet diameter, reducing hot water splashing and loss, thus enabling more efficient hot water collection. The gradually decreasing diameter of the water inlet 531 helps to concentrate and guide the hot water to the conduit 532, which then flows to the cooking device 4, ensuring smooth and stable hot water delivery.

[0038] Specifically, the hot water outlet device 5 also includes: a control module (not shown); the heating element and the water pouring drive 522 are electrically connected to the control module, which is used to start and stop the heating element and the water pouring drive 522. The control module realizes centralized control of the heating element and the water pouring drive 522, and can precisely control the time and sequence of boiling and pouring water according to cooking needs. Users can easily preset the control program of the hot water outlet device 5 through the control module, which helps to reduce manual intervention in the cooking process, thereby improving the intelligence and ease of operation of the cooking equipment.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] See Figure 1-3As shown, this embodiment discloses a cooking device, including: a cooking apparatus 4 and a hot water outlet device 5 as described in Embodiment 1. The hot water outlet device 5 is disposed below the cooking apparatus 4 and is used to generate and guide hot water into the cooking apparatus 4.

[0041] The cooking device in this embodiment, by setting a hot water outlet device 5, allows the water boiling process to be carried out simultaneously when the cooking device 4 is preheating, reducing the operational burden of the cooking device 4, avoiding the problem of excessively long cooking time caused by sequential operation, significantly improving the overall cooking efficiency, and helping to meet consumers' needs for quick meals.
