[0021] Below, in conjunction with Figures 1 to 7 The present invention will be further described in preferred embodiments and other embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5In a preferred embodiment, this utility model provides a steak maker, including a grilling area 12, a grilling pan 3, a projection device 2, a pattern display area 15, a food detection device 6, and a control circuit board 8. The grilling pan 3 is placed in the grilling area 12, and the pattern display area 15 is located below the projection device 2, which faces the grilling area 12. The food detection device 6 and the projection device 2 are both electrically connected to the control circuit board 8. The projection device 2 can be set with at least one projection content, each projection content including the doneness of the food 100 and the recommended consumption time limit. In this embodiment, the projection content includes: steak 1 well-done and its corresponding consumption time limit, steak 3 well-done and its corresponding consumption time limit, steak 5 well-done and its corresponding consumption time limit, steak 7 well-done and its corresponding consumption time limit, and steak fully cooked and its corresponding consumption time limit. The food detection device 6 is used to detect the doneness of the food 100. The projection device 2 can project any type of content onto the pattern display area 15, depending on the degree of grilling of the food 100 on the grilling pan 3. Specifically, the control circuit board 8 controls the projection device 2 to project a corresponding type of content onto the pattern display area 15 based on feedback from the food detection device 6. By setting up the projection device 2 and the food detection device 6, when the food 100 on the grilling pan 3 is grilled, the control circuit board 8 controls the projection device 2 to project a corresponding type of content onto the pattern display area 15 based on feedback from the food detection device 6. For example, if food 100 is steak and the degree of grilling is medium-rare, the corresponding projection content will be medium-rare, and it is recommended to eat it within 10 minutes after grilling. This visual prompt guides the user to eat within the recommended time limit to ensure the best taste. In this example, the food detection device 6 is a camera.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the pattern display area 15 is located inside the grilling pan 3 so that when the food 100 is grilled, the projected content is directly displayed on the food 100, which is more intuitive.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the projection device 2 is provided with a projection section 21, which is a laser projection lamp. The projection content is pre-stored in a memory card for the projection section 21 to read. The various projection contents pre-stored in the memory card include video and image formats. When the projection content is in video format, a dynamic countdown timer can be set. For example, when the food 100 on the grill pan 3 is grilled, the control circuit board 8 selects a corresponding projection content based on the information fed back by the food detection device 6. If the food 100 is steak and the grilling degree is 70%, then the corresponding projection content is 70% cooked, and it is recommended to eat it within 10 minutes after grilling. Immediately after grilling, the video content is projected onto the food, and the suggested eating time displayed in the video starts counting down, more vividly reminding the user to eat within the suggested eating time to ensure the best taste.
[0025] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the projection device 2 further includes a projection part 21 and a rotating assembly 22. The rotating assembly 22 is fixed to one side of the grilling area 12, and the projection part 21 is disposed on the rotating assembly 22. The user can adjust the projection position as needed. In a preferred embodiment, the rotating assembly 22 includes a first fixed base 221, a first drive motor 222, a second fixed base 223, and a second drive motor 224. The first fixed base 221 is fixed to one side of the grilling area 12, the first drive motor 222 is fixed to the first fixed base 221, the second fixed base 223 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 222, the second drive motor 224 is fixed to the second fixed base 223, the projection part 21 is disposed on the output shaft of the second drive motor 224, and both the first drive motor 222 and the second drive motor 224 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 8. It also includes... A camera is positioned with its detection direction facing the grill pan 3. The camera detects the position of the food 100 in the grill pan 3 and feeds it back to the control circuit board 8. The control circuit board 8 controls the first drive motor 222 and the second drive motor 224 to work according to the information fed back by the camera, so that the projection part 21 is oriented towards the food 100, so as to project the content onto the food 100. In this embodiment, when the food detection device 6 is a camera, the position of the food can be detected by the food detection device 6. That is to say, when the food detection device 6 is a camera, the food detection device 6 can simultaneously detect the degree of grilling of the food 100 and detect the position of the food.
[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the food ingredient detection device 6 is disposed on the first fixed base 221.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the steak maker of this utility model further includes a base 11.

The first support column 13 is located on one side of the base 11, and a second heating device 5 is supported at the upper end of the first support column 13. The second heating device 5 faces the grilling area 12. Both the first heating device 4 and the second heating device 5 are electrically connected to the control circuit board 8. The projection device 2 is located on the first support column 13. In this example, the first heating device 4 is an electromagnetic heating device or an electric heating tube, and the second heating device 5 is a light wave heating device or an infrared heating device.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the first support column 13 includes a first fixing rod 131 disposed on one side of the base 11 and a second fixing rod 132 sleeved inside the first fixing rod 131. A third drive motor 133 is disposed inside the first fixing rod 131, and the second fixing rod 132 is connected to the output shaft of the third drive motor 133.
[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a safety detection device 7 is also included. The second heating device 5 is a light wave heating device. The safety detection device 7 is used to identify when a user leaves the steak machine and provide feedback to the control circuit board 8. The control circuit board 8 controls the light wave heating device to stop working. The safety detection device 7 is an infrared detection device, a camera, or a microwave detection device. In this example, the safety detection device 7 is an infrared detection device, and the safety detection device 7 is located on the base 11.
[0030] like Figure 6 The following is another embodiment, which differs from the preferred embodiment in that the food detection device 6 is positioned differently. Specifically, the steak machine of this utility model also includes a second support column 14, which is located on one side of the base 11, and the projection device 2 is located on the second support column 14.
[0031] like Figure 7 The following is another embodiment 2, which differs from the other embodiment 1 in that this embodiment does not have a first heating device, and the grill pan 3 and the base 11 are integrated.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a steak machine are as follows: By setting the projection device and the food detection device, when the food on the grill pan is grilled, the control circuit board controls the projection device to project a corresponding projection content onto the pattern display area based on the feedback from the food detection device. This visual prompt more vividly guides the user to eat within the recommended consumption time limit to ensure the best taste.
[0033] The present invention has been described in detail above. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
