AI Technical Summary
Existing drum-type fried rice machines lack structural integrity, making it impossible to precisely adjust their angle. The drive mechanism is located at one end of the drum, resulting in concentrated force, and they cannot communicate with the outside world.
An automatic rotating drum was designed, comprising a frame, a support mechanism, an angle adjustment mechanism, and a drive mechanism. The drum angle is adjusted by adjusting the threaded rod and the hinge, and the rotation of the drum is achieved by using a drive motor, a gearbox, and a gear combination. The drum has openings at both ends to facilitate material feeding and discharging.
It enables precise adjustment of the drum angle, avoids concentrated force, improves the uniformity and efficiency of material stirring, and enhances communication with the outside world.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rotating drums, specifically an automatic rotating drum. Background Technology
[0002] In large canteens and restaurants, large quantities of food often need to be stir-fried. Manually stirring food in woks is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and unsuitable for mass production. To address these issues, save labor costs, and improve the efficiency of stir-frying, designers have developed various types of stir-frying machines. These machines utilize roller mechanisms for tumbling, mixing, and stir-frying in centrally controlled kitchens and food production lines.
[0003] The existing patent, CN201720019795.X, describes a "drum-type fried rice machine" that features a double-flipping structure formed by the outward-flipping stir-frying strips and U-shaped stirring strips of the drum. When the motor starts, it can drive the drum and U-shaped stirring strips to rotate out of alignment or even in opposite directions, achieving a double-flipping effect, ensuring that the food is evenly flipped and heated, and avoiding the phenomenon of some food being overheated while others are underheated. However, it still has some shortcomings, such as the lack of a structure for precise angle adjustment, the drive mechanism being located at one end of the drum and driving the drum through a rotating shaft, resulting in concentrated force on the drum, and the end connected to the drive mechanism needing to be kept closed and unable to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, an automatic rotating drum is proposed. Utility Model Content
