Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent kitchen technology, and in particular to a cooking device. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, smart cooking equipment is becoming increasingly popular among families. When using it, ingredients and seasonings are placed inside the smart cooking equipment, which then follows a preset program to add and stir-fry the ingredients and seasonings, reducing the cooking burden and ensuring the taste of the dishes.
[0003] To achieve uniform mixing and heating of ingredients, a stirring component is typically included. This component is connected to a power unit via a rotating shaft. The power unit drives the shaft to move, causing the stirring component to descend and extend into the food, thus agitating it. Conversely, it can also move the stirring component upwards, removing it from the pot's interior space. This facilitates the movement of the pot, the addition of ingredients, and the retrieval of food. However, current technology lacks positional restrictions on the stirring component, which can easily lead to errors such as excessive descent that could damage the pot, or excessive elevation that could cause interference with other components on the intelligent cooking device. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above, in order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, this utility model provides a cooking device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model mainly provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] This utility model embodiment provides a cooking device, including:
[0007] Base (100);
[0008] Pot body (30);
[0009] A stirring assembly (200) is movably mounted on a base (100) and moves around the base (100);
[0010] The first driving component (300) is connected to the stirring assembly (200) and drives the stirring assembly (200) to move;
[0011] Positioning component (400) is disposed on base (100) and the positioning component (400) limits the range of movement of stirring component (200) during the movement of stirring component (200);
[0012] The stirring component (200) has at least one extreme position under the action of the position component (400), and at the extreme position, the stirring component (200) abuts against the position component (400).
[0013] The first driving component (300) is used to drive the stirring assembly (200) to rotate and / or move linearly and / or move curvilinearly.
[0014] The position component (400) is provided with a first limiting member near the pot body (30). The first limiting member is located between the stirring component (200) and the pot body (30), and abuts against the stirring component (200) at at least one extreme position to limit the movement of the stirring component (200).
[0015] Alternatively, the position component (400) may be provided with a second limiting member on the side away from the pot body (30), the second limiting member being further away from the pot body (30) than the stirring component (200), and abutting against the stirring component (200) at at least one extreme position to limit the movement of the stirring component (200).
[0016] The position component (400) is provided with a second limiting member on the side away from the pot body (30), the stirring component (200) is provided with an extension arm (211), the first driving component (300) is connected to the extension arm (211), and during the rotation of the stirring component (200), at least one end of the extension arm (211) is located below the second limiting member.
[0017] The stirring assembly (200) includes at least one baffle (212), and the extreme positions include a first extreme position and a second extreme position. The extension arm (211) abuts against the second limiting member in the first extreme position, and the baffle (212) abuts against the second limiting member in the second extreme position, so as to limit the rotation range of the stirring assembly (200).
[0018] The second limiting member is provided with a sensing unit (401), and the baffle (212) is provided with a triggering unit. The triggering unit triggers the sensing unit (401), causing the sensing unit (401) to generate a feedback signal to the first driving member (300), thereby causing the first driving member (300) to stop driving.
[0019] The stirring assembly (200) includes a shaft (210) and a stirring part (220), the stirring part (220) is connected to the shaft (210), and the first driving member (300) is connected to the shaft (210).
[0020] The stirring assembly (200) includes a stirring section (220);
[0021] The stirring section (220) includes at least one scraper and a second drive member (223), the second drive member (223) being used to drive the scraper to rotate about a common axis.
[0022] The stirring assembly (200) includes a cantilever (221) and at least one rib (2211) is provided on the cantilever (221).
[0023] The scraper includes a scraper (222) and a baffle (224). When the scraper is working, the baffle (224) is located on the side of the scraper (222) near the opening of the pot body (30) to prevent food from splashing out.
[0024] The scraper also includes a baffle shaft (225), and the scraper (222) and the baffle plate (224) are detachably connected to the baffle shaft (225).
[0025] The cooking equipment includes a placement area, with the side of the placement area furthest from the user being the first side and the side adjacent to the first side being the second side. The base (100) is located at the intersection of the first side and the second side.
[0026] The cooking device proposed in this embodiment mainly uses a position component. When the stirring component is driven to move by the first driving member, the position component can stop the stirring component from moving further by abutting the stirring component when it moves to the limit position. This restricts the stirring component to a preset range of movement, avoids damage to the pot body caused by the stirring component being too low, and prevents interference with other components on the cooking device caused by the stirring component being too high.

[0033] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, features and effects of the cooking equipment proposed according to this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0034] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cooking device, including:
[0035] Base (100);
[0036] Pot body (30);
[0037] A stirring assembly (200) is movably mounted on a base (100) and moves around the base (100);
[0038] The first driving component (300) is connected to the stirring assembly (200) and drives the stirring assembly (200) to move;
[0039] A positioning component (400) is disposed on a base (100), and the positioning component (400) restricts the range of movement of the stirring component (200) during the movement of the stirring component (200);
[0040] The stirring component (200) has at least one extreme position under the action of the position component (400), and at the extreme position, the stirring component (200) abuts against the position component (400).
[0041] Cooking equipment, also known as intelligent cooking equipment, includes storage and automatic cooking functions. It can store electronic menus and automatically cook according to the electronic menus. The pot body (30) is a container with a top opening and a storage space, serving as the structure for holding food during cooking. The top opening of the pot body (30) can be horizontal or inclined.
[0042] The base (100) serves as a support structure for the stirring assembly (200), and the relative position of the base (100) and the pot body (30) can be fixed. In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus also includes a main body (20), which is the main support structure of the cooking apparatus. The pot body (30) and the base (100) are fixed on the main body (20). The stirring assembly (200) is movably connected to the base (100) and can move relative to the base (100) under the power drive of the first driving member (300). The stirring assembly (200) has a stirring structure for extending into the pot body (30). The movement of the stirring assembly (200) allows it to be suspended at the top opening of the pot body (30). The stirring structure can extend into the pot body (30) from the top opening and move relative to the pot body (30), thereby agitating the ingredients. This can result in more uniform seasoning, near-uniform heating of ingredients throughout, and the crushing and agitation of food to achieve the desired effect. The movement of the stirring assembly (200) also allows the stirring structure to be moved out of the pot body (30). For example, it can be moved to the outside of the area corresponding to the top opening, i.e., not suspended above the top opening, or it can be moved outside the pot body (30) but still suspended above the top opening, i.e., the stirring structure is higher than the pot body (30). This will be described in more detail later. The movement of the stirring assembly (200) out of the pot body (30) allows for the addition of ingredients and the movement and cleaning of the pot body (30).
[0043] The position component (400) achieves rigid limitation of the movement of the stirring component (200) by abutting. The limitation of the stirring component (200) can be limited to a single extreme position, so that the stirring component (200) will not continue to move in the same direction, avoiding unpredictable results caused by excessive movement. When the stirring component (200) has only a single extreme position, the single extreme position can be multiple. For example, in one embodiment, the single extreme position is a first extreme position, which is the extreme position when the stirring structure of the stirring component (200) moves into the pot body (30). The stirring component is limited to this extreme position, so that the stirring component (200) will not continue to move into the pot body (30), avoiding the stirring component (200) from contacting the pot body (30) and squeezing the pot body (30), which would cause the stirring component (200) and the pot body (30) to be damaged by pressure. Alternatively, the single extreme position can be the second extreme position, which is the extreme position where the stirring structure of the stirring component (200) is furthest away from the pot body (30). This limits the stirring component to this extreme position, preventing it from moving further away from the pot body (30) and avoiding interference between the stirring component (200) and other components on the cooking equipment, such as accessories or walls located on the side of the stirring component (200) opposite to the pot body (30). This also avoids damage caused by collisions or pressure with accessories or walls. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the position component (400) can limit the stirring component (200) at two extreme positions, thereby restricting its movement within a certain range. These two extreme positions can be the aforementioned first and second extreme positions, thus producing the aforementioned corresponding advantages, which will not be elaborated further here.
[0044] The cooking device proposed in this embodiment mainly uses a position component. When the stirring component is driven to move by the first driving member, the position component can stop the stirring component from moving further by abutting the stirring component when it moves to the limit position. This restricts the stirring component to a preset range of movement, avoids damage to the pot body caused by the stirring component being too low, and prevents interference with other components on the cooking device caused by the stirring component being too high.
[0045] The movement of the stirring assembly (200) can be achieved in various ways, with the aim of allowing the stirring structure of the stirring assembly (200) to extend into the pot body (30) for stirring, or to move out of the pot body (30) to achieve positioning. In one embodiment, the first driving member (300) is used to drive the stirring assembly (200) to rotate, that is, the connection between one end of the stirring assembly (200) and the base (100) is a rotatable connection, such as a connection through a rotating shaft. The other end of the stirring assembly (200) is provided with a stirring structure, and then by rotating, the stirring structure moves around the base (100), and can enter or move away from the pot body (30). In one embodiment of the stirring assembly (200) rotating, the rotating shaft of the stirring assembly (200) can be coaxially connected with the first driving member (300) to drive the stirring assembly (200) to rotate. Alternatively, an extension arm (211) can be provided on the stirring assembly (200), and the first driving member (300) can drive the extension arm (211) to swing around the rotating shaft, thereby indirectly driving the stirring assembly (200) to rotate.
[0046] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first driving member (300) is used to drive the stirring assembly (200) to move linearly, that is, the connection between the stirring assembly (200) and the base (100) is a sliding connection, such as the base (100) including a sliding hole, which is a straight strip-shaped hole that extends in the vertical or inclined direction, and the stirring assembly (200) is inserted into the sliding hole. The first driving member (300) can be a lead screw motor to drive the stirring assembly (200), and then the stirring assembly (200) moves along the sliding hole, so that the stirring structure rises and falls to enter or move away from the pot body (30).
[0047] Alternatively, in another embodiment, the first driving member (300) is used to drive the stirring assembly (200) to move in a curved manner, that is, the connection between the stirring assembly (200) and the base (100) is a sliding connection, such as the base (100) including a sliding hole, which is an arc-shaped strip hole that extends in a curved manner, and the stirring assembly (200) is inserted into the sliding hole. The first driving member (300) can be a motor plus a swing arm to drive the stirring assembly (200) to move in an arc around the motor shaft, and then the stirring assembly (200) moves along the sliding hole, so that the stirring structure rises and falls to enter or move away from the pot body (30).
[0048] The aforementioned rotation, linear movement, and curvilinear movement can coexist, meaning the stirring component (200) can rotate and move linearly, rotate and move curvilinearly, move linearly and move curvilinearly, or the stirring component (200) can move linearly, rotate, and move curvilinearly. However, when multiple movement modes coexist, the number of first driving members (300) should also be multiple, such as two first driving members (300), which drive the stirring component (200) to rotate and move linearly, respectively. Furthermore, different movement modes can be performed simultaneously or sequentially. For example, the stirring component (200) can first rotate to move its stirring structure out of the pot (30), and then move linearly to move its stirring structure further away from the pot (30). In addition, the position component (400) can restrict the position of the stirring component (200) in any of the movement modes, such as restricting the range of movement only when the stirring component (200) rotates, or in other words, only restricting the range of movement of the stirring component (200) during rotation. The range of linear movement of the stirring component (200) is not rigidly limited. Alternatively, there can be multiple position components (400), each limiting the position of the stirring component (200) in different ways. For example, there can be multiple position components (400), with at least one position component (400) limiting the range of rotation of the stirring component (200) and at least one position component (400) limiting the range of linear movement of the stirring component (200).
[0049] For ease of explanation, the following embodiments will be described using the rotation of the stirring component (200) relative to the base (100) as an example. Similar settings may be used in embodiments where the stirring component (200) moves linearly or curvedly relative to the base (100), and will not be described in detail here.
[0050] In one embodiment, the position component (400) is provided with a first limiting member near the pot body (30), the first limiting member being located between the stirring component (200) and the pot body (30), and abutting against the stirring component (200) at at least one extreme position to limit the movement of the stirring component (200).
[0051] At least one limit position may include only the aforementioned first limit position. The first limiting member is located between the stirring assembly (200) and the pot body (30), or in other words, the first limiting member is set on the path of the stirring assembly (200) as it moves closer to the pot body (30) to the first limit position. When the stirring assembly (200) approaches the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset lowest position, the stirring assembly (200) is rigidly stopped by abutting against the first limiting member to prevent the stirring assembly (200) from continuing to approach the pot body (30), thereby preventing the stirring assembly (200) from squeezing and damaging the pot body (30). At least one extreme position may also include the aforementioned second extreme position, such as the stirring assembly (200) being provided with an action arm, at least one end of which is located below the first limiting member. For example, if the action arm is located between the pot body (30) and the first limiting member, then during the process of the stirring assembly (200) moving away from the pot body (30) to the second extreme position, the action arm will move closer to the first limiting member. When the stirring assembly (200) moves away from the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset highest or farthest position, the action arm is used to abut against the rigid limiting member to prevent the stirring assembly (200) from continuing to move away from the pot body (30), thereby avoiding interference between the stirring assembly (200) and other components on the cooking equipment.
[0052] In another embodiment, the position component (400) is provided with a second limiting member on the side away from the pot body (30), the second limiting member being further away from the pot body (30) than the stirring component (200), and abutting against the stirring component (200) at at least one extreme position to limit the movement of the stirring component (200).
[0053] At least one extreme position may include only the aforementioned second extreme position, where the second limiting member is located on the side of the stirring assembly (200) away from the pot body (30), or in other words, the second limiting member is positioned on the path of the stirring assembly (200) moving away from the pot body (30) to the second extreme position. When the stirring assembly (200) moves away from the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset highest or farthest position, the stirring assembly (200) is rigidly stopped by abutting against the second limiting member, preventing the stirring assembly (200) from moving further away from the pot body (30), thereby avoiding interference between the stirring assembly (200) and other components of the cooking equipment. At least one extreme position may also include the aforementioned first extreme position, where the stirring assembly (200) is provided with an extension arm (211), at least one end of which is located below the second limiting member. As the stirring structure of the stirring assembly (200) moves closer to the pot body (30) to the first limit position, the extension arm (211) moves closer to the second limiting member. When the stirring assembly (200) approaches the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset lowest position, the extension arm (211) abuts against the rigid limit of the second limiting member to prevent the stirring assembly (200) from continuing to approach the pot body (30), thereby preventing the stirring assembly (200) from squeezing and damaging the pot body (30).
[0054] In the aforementioned embodiment with the extension arm (211), the extension arm (211) may only cooperate with the second limiting member to limit the stirring assembly (200) to a first extreme position, while the first drive member (300) may be directly coaxially connected to the stirring assembly (200). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the first drive member (300) is connected to the extension arm (211), and the stirring assembly (200) is driven to rotate by the rotation of the extension arm (211) relative to the axis of the stirring assembly (200). This embodiment increases the lever arm of the first drive member (300), reduces the torque borne by the first drive member (300), and can increase the service life of the first drive member (300).
[0055] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly (200) may be provided with an extension arm (211), at least one end of which is located above the second limiting member. During the process of the stirring structure of the stirring assembly (200) moving away from the pot body (30) to the second extreme position, the extension arm (211) will move closer to the second limiting member. When the stirring assembly (200) moves away from the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches a preset highest or farthest position, the extension arm (211) is used to abut against the rigid limiting member to prevent the stirring assembly (200) from continuing to move away from the pot body (30). Alternatively, two extension arms (211) may be provided, namely a first extension arm and a second extension arm, with at least one end of the first extension arm located above the second limiting member and at least one end of the second extension arm located below the second limiting member. Then, when the stirring assembly (200) approaches the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset lowest position, the second extension arm abuts against the second limiting member, thereby limiting the stirring assembly (200) to the first extreme position; when the stirring assembly (200) moves away from the pot body (30) and the stirring structure reaches the preset highest or farthest position, the first extension arm abuts against the second limiting member, thereby limiting the stirring assembly (200) to the second extreme position.
[0056] The following example illustrates a more specific structure of a stirring assembly (200) to facilitate further description of the embodiments.
[0057] like Figure 2-4As shown, the stirring assembly (200) includes a shaft portion (210) and a stirring portion (220), the stirring portion (220) including the aforementioned stirring structure. The shaft portion (210) includes an extension arm (211), a baffle (212), a bushing (213), and a central shaft (214), the extension arm (211) and the baffle (212) being spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the bushing (213). The base (100) includes a first support member (110) and a second support member (120), the first support member (110) and the second support member (120) being spaced apart. The central shaft (214) is rotatably connected to the first support member (110) and the second support member (120), the bushing (213) is sleeved on the outer circumference of the central shaft (214) and is positioned relative to the central shaft (214) in the circumferential direction, the bushing (213) being located between the first support member (110) and the second support member (120). The position component (400) is connected to the first support member (110) and the second support member (120). The arrangement of the first support member (110) and the second support member (120) makes the position of the shaft (210) more stable and less prone to shaking. The connection of the position component (400) to the first support member (110) and the second support member (120) further stabilizes the position component (400), preventing displacement and ensuring more accurate positioning of the first and second extreme positions. The stirring part (220) is connected to the central shaft (214) and is circumferentially limited by the central shaft (214). The first power component (300) can be a telescopic cylinder. The output end of the first power component (300) moves linearly and is rotatably connected to the extension arm (211), converting the linear movement into rotation of the extension arm (211), which in turn drives the bushing (213) to rotate the central shaft (214) and the stirring part (220). In some embodiments, the cooking device also includes a housing (500) which covers the outer periphery of structures such as the first support member (110), the second support member (120), the position assembly (400), the extension arm (211), and the baffle (212), thereby providing protection and ensuring that debris does not easily enter between the central shaft (214) and the first support member (110) and the second support member (120) to affect rotation, and also makes the appearance simple and beautiful.
[0058] In one embodiment, the stirring assembly (200) includes at least one baffle (212), and the extreme positions include a first extreme position and a second extreme position. The extension arm (211) abuts against a second limiting member in the first extreme position, and the baffle (212) abuts against the second limiting member in the second extreme position, so as to limit the rotation range of the stirring assembly (200).
[0059] The baffle (212) allows for a more flexible structural arrangement of the stirring assembly (200). The baffle (212) abuts against the second limiting member, allowing the stirring part (220) to be positioned flexibly as needed, such as outside the first support (110) and the second support (120). Alternatively, without the baffle (212), the stirring part (220) can be directly connected to the bushing (213) and spaced apart from the extension arm (211) in the circumferential direction of the bushing (213). The stirring assembly (200) is then constrained to a second extreme position by the abutment of the stirring part (220) against the second limiting member.
[0060] The baffle (212) may only have the function of limiting the stirring assembly (200) by abutting. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the baffle (212) may have a triggering function. For example, a sensing part (401) is provided on the second limiting member, and a triggering part is provided on the baffle (212). The triggering part triggers the sensing part (401), causing the sensing part (401) to generate a feedback signal to the first driving member (300), thereby stopping the first driving member (300) from driving.
[0061] When the baffle (212) generates a feedback signal through the trigger sensing unit (401), it controls the first drive member (300) to stop moving the stirring component (200). On the one hand, when the stirring component (200) is rigidly limited, the operation of the first drive member (300) is stopped in time, thereby avoiding overload of the first drive member (300). On the other hand, the feedback signal can be used as a positioning detection signal, that is, it indicates that the stirring component (200) has moved away from the pot body (30) and the stirring component (200) no longer occupies the space inside the pot body (30), so that food can be added, avoiding food being added to the stirring component (200) because the stirring component (200) has not risen to the correct position.
[0062] The triggering unit and the sensing unit (401) can be various components that can cooperate to emit feedback signals. For example, the triggering unit can be one of a contact and a touch switch, and the sensing unit (401) can be the other of a contact and a touch switch. When the stirring assembly (200) moves to the second limit position, the contact triggers the contact of the touch switch, and then the touch switch emits a feedback signal. Alternatively, the triggering unit can be one of a magnetic element and a Hall sensor, and the sensing unit (401) can be the other of a magnetic element and a Hall sensor. When the stirring assembly (200) moves to the second limit position, the magnetic element is within the magnetic field range of the Hall sensor, and then the Hall sensor is triggered to emit a feedback signal. Alternatively, the triggering unit can be one of a baffle and a photoelectric switch, and the sensing unit (401) can be the other of a baffle and a photoelectric switch. When the stirring assembly (200) moves to the second limit position, the baffle blocks the light from the photoelectric switch, and then the photoelectric switch emits a feedback signal. The above embodiments can be used in combination.
[0063] In one implementation, such as Figure 4 As shown, the stirring assembly (200) includes a stirring section (220). The stirring section (220) includes at least one scraper and a second drive member (223), the second drive member (223) being used to drive the scraper to rotate about a common axis.
[0064] The scraper is the aforementioned stirring structure. The scraper further includes a scraper blade (222). When the stirring assembly (200) is in the first extreme position, the scraper blade (222) is positioned with a gap between itself and the inner wall of the pot body (30) at a predetermined distance, such as 1-3 mm. Alternatively, the scraper blade (222) may abut against the inner wall of the pot body (30). The common rotating shaft may be a rotating shaft passing through the center of the top opening of the pot body (30) and perpendicular to the top opening of the pot body (30). The scraper may be a single component or a combination of components. Figure 4 As shown, there are two scrapers, which are far apart from each other and correspond to the radial sides of the pot body (30). When the second drive unit (223) drives the scrapers to rotate around the common axis, the scraper (222) scrapes the inner surface of the pot body (30) and scrapes the food adhering to the pot body (30), so as to prevent the food from being deposited on the inner surface of the pot body (30) and burning or carbonizing, and to prevent the food from adhering and affecting the heating of the food in the pot body (30).
[0065] In one embodiment, the stirring assembly (200) includes a cantilever (221). In the embodiment where the aforementioned shaft portion (210) includes a central shaft (214), the cantilever (221) is connected to the central shaft (214). For example, a waist hole may be formed on the first end of the cantilever (221), and the central shaft (214) includes a limiting surface. The cantilever (221) is sleeved in the central shaft (214) through the waist hole, and the limiting surface abuts against the inner wall surface of the waist hole to achieve circumferential limiting. The second driving member (223) and the scraper are both disposed on the second end of the cantilever (221). In one embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, at least one rib (2211) is provided on the cantilever (221). There can be multiple ribs (2211) arranged in parallel. The ribs (2211) extend from the first end to the second end of the cantilever (221) to avoid the second end of the cantilever (221) being subjected to forces, such as the weight of the second drive member (223), the weight of the scraper, and the resistance of the scraper to the food, which would cause the cantilever (221) to bend and deform under stress. This ensures the structural strength of the cantilever (221) and prevents it from deforming easily after long-term use, thereby ensuring the accurate position of the scraper.
[0066] In one implementation, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the scraper also includes a baffle plate (224). When the scraper is working, the baffle plate (224) is located on the side of the scraper (222) near the opening of the pot body (30) to prevent food from splashing out.
[0067] When the scraper (222) scrapes the food inside the pot (30), the food may bounce and splash out of the pot (30), or, if the food is sticky, it may expand outward along the scraper (222). The baffle (224) prevents the food from continuing to move from one side of the top opening of the pot (30), preventing the food from overflowing from the opening of the pot (30). After being blocked by the baffle (224), the food will accumulate and fall or bounce back into the pot (30) to continue cooking. The scraper (222) is usually set vertically downward, or the angle between the scraper (222) and the direction of its speed is perpendicular or nearly perpendicular. The direction of the scraper (222) can be parallel to the top opening of the pot (30). The baffle (224) can be set in a direction parallel to the speed direction of the scraper (222), or the baffle (224) can be set relative to the bottom surface of the scraper (222) and tilted inwards towards the pot body (30) in the opposite direction of the scraper (222)'s movement direction. The baffle (224) and the scraper (222)'s speed direction form an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, such as a 30-degree angle. This allows the food to be guided by the baffle (224) and move in the opposite direction of the splashing when the scraper (222) pushes the food away from the pot body (30), while moving inwards towards the pot body (30).
[0068] In some embodiments, the edge of the baffle (224) relative to the inner wall of the pot body (30) is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the pot body (30), thereby making the baffle (224) fit better against the inner wall of the pot body (30) and preventing food from leaking out through the gap between the baffle (224) and the pot body (30).
[0069] In one embodiment, the scraper further includes a baffle shaft (225), and the scraper (222) and the baffle plate (224) are detachably connected to the baffle shaft (225).
[0070] The scraper (222) and the baffle (224) can then be disassembled for cleaning and replacement, ensuring that the scraper (222) and the baffle (224) are clean. Furthermore, the scraper (222) and the baffle (224) share a single baffle shaft (225), which simplifies the structure and reduces weight.
[0071] In one embodiment, the scraper further includes a scraper bracket (226), with a scraper (222) connected to the scraper bracket (226), and the hardness of the scraper (222) being less than that of the scraper bracket (226). And / or, the scraper further includes a baffle bracket (227), with a baffle plate (224) connected to the baffle bracket (227), and the hardness of the baffle plate (224) being less than that of the baffle bracket (227).
[0072] Both the scraper (222) and the baffle (224) can be made of a flexible material, such as rubber or soft plastic, which allows for a certain degree of positional deviation, making it less likely to damage the pot body (30) and allowing for better contact with the pot body (30), thus ensuring better scraping and food shielding effects. The scraper bracket (226) and the baffle bracket (227) can be made of rigid materials, such as stainless steel, which can support and fix the scraper (222) and the baffle (224), ensuring that the scraper (222) and the baffle (224) will not deform excessively, and only the small area in contact with the pot body (30) will deform.
[0073] In one embodiment, the side of the pot body (30) away from the user is the first side, the side adjacent to the first side is the second side, and the base (100) is located at the intersection of the first side and the second side.
[0074] Cooking equipment typically includes a dispensing device (40). Before cooking, ingredients are placed into the cooking space, and then the corresponding electronic menu is selected, along with personalized settings such as saltiness and spiciness. The automatic cooking equipment then initiates automatic cooking processes such as stir-frying and steaming. The dispensing device (40) can quantitatively dispense liquid and / or solid seasonings according to the electronic menu and the user's personalized settings during the cooking process, thereby achieving fully automatic cooking. Figure 1As shown, the side where the feeding device (40) is located is called the third side. The third side is usually adjacent to the first side, while the second side refers to the side opposite to the third side. The base (100) is located at the intersection of the first side and the second side, that is, at a position away from the user and the feeding device (40). Then, the stirring component (200) extends from the position away from the user and the feeding device (40) towards the pot body (30), so that it will not interfere with the feeding device (40) or the user's manual operation, and will not hinder the user from observing the cooking process of the dish. At the same time, the stirring component (200) is far away from the feeding device (40), so there is no need for each other to make way for each other's components. This allows the stirring component (200) to be flexibly arranged according to the available countertop space of the main body of the equipment (20), making the equipment layout more compact and miniaturized.
[0075] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
