Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically to a edible oil storage mechanism capable of recording usage. Background Technology
[0002] In daily cooking, the proper use of cooking oil is crucial for both healthy eating and culinary results. Precisely controlling the amount of cooking oil used can effectively reduce the risk of various health problems caused by excessive oil intake, such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. It also ensures the deliciousness of dishes while preventing them from becoming overly greasy, thus affecting their taste and flavor.
[0003] However, in actual cooking, people face the dilemma of accurately controlling the amount of cooking oil used, and there is a common problem of using too much oil. Research and analysis have shown that the main reasons for this problem are as follows: First, there is a lack of effective tools and scientific methods for measuring the amount of cooking oil in current home kitchens. Common oil dispensers usually only have a holding function.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an edible oil storage mechanism capable of recording usage, comprising: a housing 1, which has an oil storage container and an oil conveying component inside;
[0029] The oil storage container includes a barrel body 14 disposed inside the housing 1 and a barrel cover 15 sealed on the barrel body 14. The barrel body 14 is made of transparent material and has an oil-containing cavity for storing edible oil inside. The oil conveying component includes an oil pump 16 disposed on the barrel cover 15. The oil pump 16 has an oil-drawing end that communicates with the oil-containing cavity and an oil-conveying end that conveys edible oil to the outside of the housing 1.
[0030] A controller 4 for controlling the opening and closing of the oil pump 16 is provided on the surface of the housing 1.
[0031] Specifically, the casing 1 serves as the overall structural frame, with an oil storage container and oil delivery components inside. The oil storage container consists of a barrel body 14 and a barrel lid 15. The oil-containing chamber inside the barrel body 14 is used to store edible oil. The oil pump 16 is installed on the barrel lid 15, with the oil extraction end connected to the oil-containing chamber and the oil delivery end connected to the outside of the casing 1. The controller 4 is located on the surface of the casing 1 and can control the oil pump 16 to turn on and off. When the user operates the controller 4, the oil pump 16 starts, extracting the edible oil from the oil-containing chamber and delivering it to the outside through the oil delivery end. This design achieves precise control of edible oil storage and delivery. Compared with traditional oil jugs, the addition of the oil pump 16 and controller 4 makes the oil pouring operation more precise and controllable. Users no longer need to rely on experience to pour oil, solving the problem of difficulty in accurately grasping the amount of edible oil used.
[0032] It should be noted that the maximum capacity of the oil-containing chamber inside the barrel 14 is 10L, which can meet the needs of storing a 9L barrel of cooking oil at one time, reducing the trouble of frequent restocking.
[0033] Function button 6 has four scales: 10g, 50g, 100g, and 200g. This can meet the precise needs of cooking different dishes for different amounts of oil, avoid waste, and also help control the stability of the quality of the dishes.
[0034] The hanging components are designed for easy and secure installation on the wall near the cooking area of the work room, making them convenient for cooks to access and improving cooking efficiency.
[0035] On the front of the casing 1, there is also a sensor switch connected to the controller 4. When oil is needed, first set the oil dispensing amount by triggering the function button 6, then align the oil container with the oil dispensing point. When the sensor switch senses the oil container, it automatically dispenses oil. Cooks do not need to manually pour oil, which reduces operation steps, reduces labor intensity, and avoids the problem of inaccurate oil quantity caused by manual pouring.
[0036] The sensor also has an internal storage module that can record the daily, monthly, and previous month's inflows, outflows, and consumption of cooking oil, making it convenient for managers to query and compile statistics, and helping with cost control and inventory management.
[0037] Furthermore, the oil storage containers and oil conveying components can be disassembled, washed, and replaced, meeting food hygiene requirements and ensuring the hygiene and safety of edible oil during storage and use.
[0038] See Figure 1 Inside the barrel 14, there is a liquid level sensor for detecting the oil level. The liquid level sensor is connected to the controller 4. The surface of the controller 4 is also equipped with a display screen 5 for displaying various data. The controller 4 is also equipped with a function button 6 for controlling the start and stop of the oil pump 16 and the single start time.
[0039] Specifically, a liquid level sensor is installed inside the container 14 to detect the oil level in real time and transmit the data to the controller 4. The display screen 5 on the surface of the controller 4 displays various data such as the liquid level. The function button 6 controls the start and stop of the oil pump 16 and the single start time. For example, when the user presses the function button 6 to turn on the oil pump 16, the oil output can be controlled by setting the single start time. The liquid level sensor monitors the changes in oil level in real time and feeds back to the controller 4. The controller 4 displays the liquid level data on the display screen 5. The combination of the liquid level sensor, the display screen 5, and the function button 6 allows the user to intuitively understand the remaining amount of edible oil in the oil storage container and to accurately control the oil output through the function button 6, further improving the accuracy of controlling the amount of edible oil used and effectively solving the problem of excessive oil consumption caused by the lack of effective measuring tools and methods in the background technology.
[0040] See Figure 2 A suspension component is provided on the rear side of the housing 1. The suspension component is provided in two sets, and the two sets of suspension components are arranged at intervals. The suspension component includes a hook 10, a mounting base 11 and a buckle 12. The mounting base 11 is connected to the wall, the buckle 12 is provided on one side of the mounting base 11, and the hook 10 is engaged with the inside of the buckle 12.
[0041] Specifically, the mounting base 11 is fixed to the wall, the buckle 12 is installed on one side of the mounting base 11, and the hook 10 is snapped into the buckle 12. In this way, the casing 1 can be hung on the wall to achieve wall-mounted installation. The design of the hanging component facilitates the installation of the cooking oil storage mechanism, saves kitchen countertop space, solves the problem of limited kitchen space, and makes the kitchen layout more neat and orderly.
[0042] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 An oil outlet 7 is provided on the front of the housing 1. An oil outlet pipe 8 is connected to the oil outlet 7. An oil delivery hose 18 is connected to the oil delivery end of the oil pump 16. The end of the oil delivery hose 18 away from the oil pump 16 is connected to the oil outlet 7.
[0043] Specifically, when the oil pump 16 is working, cooking oil is delivered from the oil pump 16 through the oil delivery hose 18 to the oil outlet 7, and then flows out through the oil outlet pipe 8, making it convenient for users to add cooking oil to cooking utensils. The reasonable oil outlet structure design makes the cooking oil output path clear, the operation convenient, optimizes the cooking oil dispensing process, and improves the user experience.
[0044] See Figure 5 The oil pump 16 is connected to an oil suction pipe 17 at its oil suction end. The end of the oil suction pipe 17 away from the oil pump 16 is vertically inserted into the inside of the oil chamber.
[0045] Specifically, when the oil pump 16 starts, the edible oil in the oil-containing chamber is drawn out through the oil-drawing pipe 17 and transported to the oil delivery end, thus realizing the function of drawing oil from the oil storage container. The design of the oil-drawing pipe 17 ensures that the oil pump 16 can effectively draw edible oil from the oil storage container, ensuring the normal operation of the entire edible oil storage mechanism.
[0046] See Figures 1-3 The lower part of the front of the housing 1 is provided with a support 2 extending along its thickness direction. There are two supports 2 arranged symmetrically. A detachable oil collection box 3 is snapped between the two supports 2. The upper surface of the oil collection box 3 has a hollow structure and an oil-containing groove inside.
[0047] Specifically, when a user pours oil using the cooking oil storage mechanism, any oil dripping will flow into the oil container through the perforated part on the upper surface of the oil collection box 3, preventing oil from dripping onto the kitchen countertop. The design of the oil collection box 3 effectively solves the problem of oil dripping and soiling the countertop when pouring oil, keeping the kitchen environment clean and reducing the user's cleaning workload.
[0048] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The housing 1 is provided with a pull-out box 9 that is inserted into its interior through its side wall. The oil storage container is placed on the pull-out box 9. A spring pin 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the housing 1. The pull-out box 9 has a pin groove for the spring pin 13 to be inserted. The spring pin 13 includes a pin rod 131 that is slidably disposed at the lower part of the housing 1. A pin head 132 is connected to the top of the pin rod 131. The pin head 132 is inserted into the interior of the pin groove. A return spring 133 is also sleeved on the outside of the pin rod 131. One end of the return spring 133 is connected to the side wall of the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the pin head 132. The end of the pin rod 131 away from the pin head 132 extends to the bottom of the housing 1 and is connected to a pull ring 134.
[0049] Specifically, when the pull-out box 9 needs to be pulled out, pull ring 134 is pulled, pin 131 drives pin head 132 to move downwards and compress return spring 133, so that pin head 132 disengages from pin groove, at which point pull-out box 9 can be pulled out; after inserting pull-out box 9, release pull ring 134, return spring 133 rebounds, drives pin head 132 to insert into pin groove, and fix pull-out box 9; the design of pull-out box 9 and spring pin 13 facilitates the installation and maintenance of oil storage container, and users can easily remove oil storage container for cleaning or replacement, improving the ease of use of edible oil storage mechanism.
[0050] See Figure 5 A side plate 19 is provided on the side wall in the thickness direction of the housing 1. The side plate 19 can slide along the length direction of the housing 1. A support spring 20 is connected to the side wall of the side plate 19. The other end of the support spring 20 is connected to the side wall in the thickness direction of the housing 1.
[0051] Specifically, a side plate 19 is provided on the side wall in the thickness direction of the housing 1. The side plate 19 can slide along the length direction of the housing 1. A support spring 20 is connected to the side wall of the side plate 19, and the other end of the support spring 20 is connected to the side wall of the housing 1. When subjected to external force, the side plate 19 slides into the housing 1, compressing the support spring 20. After the external force disappears, the support spring 20 rebounds, pushing the side plate 19 back to its original position. The design of the side plate 19 and the support spring 20 can assist in pushing the pull-out box 9 out of the housing 1 when the spring pin 13 is unlocked, further facilitating the replenishment of cooking oil into the container 14.
[0052] Working Principle: This edible oil storage mechanism uses a housing 1 as its carrier, internally housing an oil storage container (i.e., a barrel body 14 and a lid 15) and oil delivery components (i.e., an oil pump 16, an oil extraction pipe 17, and an oil delivery hose 18). The oil storage container stores edible oil. Under the control of the controller 4, the oil pump 16 draws oil from the oil chamber of the barrel body 14 through the oil extraction pipe 17, and outputs it through the oil delivery hose 18 via the oil outlet 7 and the oil outlet pipe 8. A liquid level sensor monitors the oil level in real time and transmits the data to the controller 4, which is then displayed on the screen 5. The rear of the housing 1 has a hanging component (hook 10, mounting base 11, and fastener 12) for easy wall mounting. The lower front support 2, in conjunction with the oil collection box 3, collects dripping oil. The oil storage container is placed on a pull-out box 9 and secured and unlocked by a spring pin 13 for easy pull-out operation. The side plate 19 on the side wall of the housing 1 and the support spring 20 form a push-pull structure, which can automatically push out the push-pull box 9 when the spring pin 13 is unlocked. The maximum capacity of this cooking oil storage mechanism is 10L, which can be used to store a 9L container of cooking oil. When the cook needs oil, he first touches the function button 6 with a large ladle. The function button 6 has four scales for setting the measurement unit: 10g, 50g, 100g, and 200g. Then, he places the large ladle in the sensing area. The automatic sensing device will receive the signal and start the control mechanism. The cooking oil flows out of the storage container and accurately outputs the set amount of oil into the large ladle. At the same time, the mechanism has a recording function, which can record the daily, monthly, and previous month's cooking oil storage and consumption. This data is stored in the device's storage module. In addition, all parts can be disassembled for easy operation when cleaning or replacement is needed.
[0053] As described above, although the present invention has been shown and described with reference to specific preferred embodiments, it should not be construed as limiting the present invention itself. Various changes in form and detail may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
