Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to food cooking and processing appliances, and more particularly to a food preparation and vending machine with a dual heating structure. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the convenience of dining, the applicant has designed a food vending machine with publication number CN112716256A and the title "A Steamed Food Machine". Existing food vending machines typically have a cooking mechanism, which results in a slow cooking speed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a food preparation and vending machine with a dual heating structure that can cook food quickly, thus solving the problem of slow cooking speed in existing equipment with only one heating structure.

[0004] The above technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: A food preparation vending machine with a dual heating structure includes a cabinet. The cabinet is separated into a food storage space and a food preparation space above the storage space by a horizontal partition. The food storage space is equipped with a food container transfer structure for transferring food containers to the food preparation space. A food container input hole is provided in the middle of the horizontal partition. The food preparation space is equipped with two food preparation structures located on the left and right sides of the food container input hole, two food container longitudinal movement structures, and a food container shifting structure for transferring food containers from the food container input hole to the food preparation structures. A food output chamber is provided in front of the food preparation structures. The two food container longitudinal movement structures are used to transfer food containers located at the two food preparation structures to the two food output chambers one-to-one. The dual heating structures allow for fast food preparation. Heating and output are completed in separate chambers, improving safety.

[0005] Preferably, one end of the food storage space in the front-to-back direction is provided with several support frames distributed in the vertical direction, and the food container transfer structure is located at the other end of the food storage space. The food container transfer structure includes a platform, a platform translation structure that drives the platform to move left and right, and a platform lifting structure that drives the platform translation structure to lift up and down.

[0006] Preferably, the lunchbox shifting structure includes a longitudinal lever and a lever translation structure that drives the longitudinal lever to move left and right. The longitudinal lever is located between the two food cooking structures, and the longitudinal lever and the two food cooking structures are aligned in a straight line. When the lunchbox is shifted to the right, the longitudinal lever first stops on the left side of the lunchbox input hole. After the lunchbox exits from the lunchbox input hole, it is located on the right side of the lever, and then the lever translation structure drives the lunchbox to move to the right. Similarly, when the lunchbox is shifted to the left, the longitudinal lever first stops on the right side of the lunchbox input hole. After the lunchbox exits from the lunchbox input hole, it is located on the left side of the lever, and then the lever translation structure drives the lunchbox to move to the left. When both heating structures cook food simultaneously, the lever only needs to move left once and then right once, without the need for lever reset. This allows the design of a single lunchbox shifting structure for dual heating structures to reduce the movement required for reset of the lunchbox structure. In other words, one shifting action of the lunchbox is the reset action for the next action.

[0007] Preferably, the food container input port is located between the two food output chambers, the food container transfer space is located at the front end of the food storage space, and the platform includes a frame and several support rollers rotatably connected to the steps to support the food containers. The support rollers extend in the left-right direction. The platform also includes pulleys at the ends of the support rollers, a belt connecting the pulleys together, and a belt drive motor for driving the belt. This reduces the waiting time for unloading the food container.

[0008] Preferably, the front side of the platform is provided with a baffle to prevent the lunchboxes from falling off the platform. This improves the reliability of lunchbox transfer.

[0009] Preferably, the device also includes two guide rods arranged in a V-shape above the partition. The narrower end of the two guide rods is located above the food container input hole, and the wider end is located between the two food cooking structures. This allows for convenient and reliable transfer of the food container.

[0010] Preferably, when the support rollers convey the lunchbox to its limit position between the guide rods, the center of the lunchbox is located between the two guide rods. This improves the reliability of transferring the lunchbox.

[0011] Preferably, the guide rod has an outwardly bent elbow at one end of the guide rod located at the lunchbox inlet. This allows the lunchbox to be easily and reliably inserted between the two guide rods even when the spacing between the guide rods is small.

[0012] Preferably, the longitudinal lever has bends on both sides of the end facing the lunchbox input hole, and the other end is connected to the lever translation structure. This provides reliability when adjusting the lunchbox.

[0013] Preferably, the lunchbox longitudinal movement structure includes a transverse push rod located above the electric stove and a transverse push rod translation structure that drives the transverse push rod to move back and forth.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: two heating structures heat and cook food, enabling two portions of food to be cooked at the same time. Attached Figure Description
