Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a cooking component and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing drum-type stir-fry machines generally consist of a pot body and a stirring assembly, with the stirring assembly housed within the pot body's containment space. During cooking and cleaning, the pot body is typically tilted. The bottom of the tilted pot body is the heating zone, with a heating source located on the outer side of the bottom. This heating source heats the bottom of the pot to cook the food inside. In passively stirred stir-fry machines, the stirring assembly rotates synchronously with the pot body on the same axis, while in actively stirred stir-fry machines, the stirring assembly rotates asynchronously with the pot body on the same axis. Regardless of whether the stirring is passive or active, the goal is to achieve thorough agitation and even mixing of the food inside the pot.

[0003] Food tends to stick to the pan during cooking, which affects the quality of the finished product and makes the pan difficult to clean. Neither of the two types of stir-fry machines mentioned above can solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a cooking component and cooking device with ingenious design and simple structure. By misaligning the rotation axis of the pot body and the rotation axis of the stirring component, the distance between the scraper and the pot wall can be adjusted as the stirring component rotates. When the scraper is close to the pot wall, it scrapes the pot wall as the pot body rotates in a specific direction (clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the stirring component). When scraping is not needed, simply rotate the stirring component to move the scraper away from the pot wall. The stirring function of the scraper is not affected regardless of whether it is in a scraping state. The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0005] A cooking assembly includes: a pot body having a cooking chamber, the cooking chamber being a rotating body, the pot body being adapted to rotate about a first axis, the first axis coinciding with the axis of the rotating body; a stirring assembly including at least one scraper portion; the stirring assembly being rotatably connected to the bottom of the cooking chamber, the stirring assembly being adapted to rotate about a second axis, the second axis being parallel to and a certain distance away from the first axis; the distance between the scraper portion and the wall of the cooking chamber changing when the stirring assembly rotates; and in a scraper state, the scraper portion is tightly engaged with the wall of the cooking chamber to scrape the wall of the cooking chamber.

[0006] By misaligning the rotation axis of the pot body and the rotation axis of the stirring assembly, the distance between the scraper and the pot wall can be adjusted as the stirring assembly rotates. When the scraper is close to the pot wall, it scrapes the pot wall as the pot body rotates in a specific direction (clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the stirring assembly). When scraping is not needed, simply rotate the stirring assembly to move the scraper away from the pot wall. The scraper always functions as a stirrer, regardless of whether it is in a scraping state.

[0007] In some embodiments, the bottom of the cooking chamber along the first axis is spherical.

[0008] By designing the bottom of the cooking chamber as spherical, on the one hand, the spherical bottom can be heated evenly when the heating source heats the pot body, and on the other hand, the spherical bottom design can enable the scraper part to scrape the entire wall of the cooking chamber that is in contact with the food, ensuring a better scraping effect.

[0009] In some embodiments, the stirring assembly includes a first scraper portion and a second scraper portion, the first scraper portion and the second scraper portion being distributed at a predetermined angle around the second axis, the first scraper portion being adapted to scrape the wall of the cooking chamber within a first depth range, the second scraper portion being adapted to scrape the wall of the cooking chamber within a second depth range, the first depth range and the second depth range being axially distributed along the first axis and at most partially overlapping in the axial direction of the first axis.

[0010] By setting the first scraper part and the second scraper part at a preset angle, and with the first scraping depth range that the first scraper part can scrape and the second scraping depth range that the second scraper part can scrape at most partially overlap, the mixing component can achieve a good mixing effect regardless of whether the food is large or small.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first depth range and the second depth range partially overlap in the axial direction of the first axis.

[0012] By partially overlapping the first depth range and the second depth range, the first depth range and the second depth range can be fully connected, ensuring that the mixing component has no missed areas during mixing, and also ensuring that the scraper has no missed areas during scraping, thus ensuring the mixing effect and the scraping effect.

[0013] In some embodiments, the side of the scraper facing the scraping direction of the scraper is a scraper surface, which is inclined toward the opening of the cooking chamber, so that when the scraper scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber, the material adhering to the wall of the cooking chamber is pushed toward the opening of the cooking chamber.

[0014] By tilting the spatula towards the opening of the cooking chamber, the force exerted on the spatula during scraping and stirring is reduced, making these actions easier. Furthermore, when the spatula scrapes the walls of the cooking chamber, it pushes any adhering substances towards the opening, mimicking the scraping motion of a person cooking and ensuring the quality of the final product.

[0015] In some embodiments, the scraper portion further includes a spreading surface, which is located on opposite sides of the scraper portion, and the spreading surface is used to spread the material in the cooking chamber.

[0016] By setting the spreading surface, as long as the rotation direction of the pot body relative to the stirring component is correct, the scraper part not only has a scraping function, but also a spreading function, thus enriching the functions of the scraper part.

[0017] In some embodiments, the spreading surface is inclined toward the opening of the cooking chamber away from the opening, so that when the scraper moves relative to the wall of the cooking chamber in the opposite direction to the scraper direction, the material in the cooking chamber is spread away from the opening of the cooking chamber.

[0018] By tilting the spreading surface towards the opening of the cooking chamber away from the cooking chamber, the material inside the cooking chamber can be spread away from the opening of the cooking chamber when the scraper moves relative to the wall of the cooking chamber in the opposite direction of the scraping direction. In this way, when the scraper scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber, all the food spread on the wall can be scraped off the wall, ensuring the scraping effect.

[0019] In some embodiments, the scraper portion is plate-shaped, and the spreading surface and the scraper surface are arranged parallel to each other.

[0020] By designing the scraper part as a plate, and setting the spreading surface and the scraper surface parallel to each other, that is, the scraper part is made of a plate-shaped component of uniform thickness, there is no need for a complicated shape, and the processing and manufacturing process is simple.

[0021] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the scraper portion is provided with a Teflon coating.

[0022] By applying a Teflon coating, which has excellent non-stick properties, heat resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, the risk of food sticking to the scraper can be reduced, making it easier to clean. At the same time, it can also protect the scraper and extend its service life.

[0023] On the other hand, this application provides a cooking device including the aforementioned cooking components.

[0024] The cooking component and cooking device provided in this application have at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This application provides a cooking assembly that, by misaligning the rotation axis of the pot body and the rotation axis of the stirring assembly, allows adjustment of the distance between the scraper and the pot wall as the stirring assembly rotates. When the scraper is close to the pot wall, it scrapes the pot wall as the pot body rotates in a specific direction (clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the stirring assembly). When scraping is not needed, simply rotate the stirring assembly to move the scraper away from the pot wall. Regardless of whether the scraper is in a scraping state, it always performs a stirring function.

[0026] 2. The cooking component provided in this application has a spherical bottom for the cooking chamber. On the one hand, the spherical bottom can be heated evenly when the heating source heats the pot. On the other hand, the spherical bottom design enables the scraper to scrape the walls of the cooking chamber that are in contact with the food, ensuring a better scraping effect.

[0027] 3. The cooking component provided in this application, by setting the first scraper part and the second scraper part at a preset angle, and the first depth range that the first scraper part can scrape and the second depth range that the second scraper part can scrape at most partially overlap, can enable the mixing component to perform a good mixing effect regardless of whether the food is large or small.

[0028] 4. The cooking component provided in this application, by partially overlapping the first depth range and the second depth range, can fully connect the first depth range and the second depth range, ensuring that the stirring component has no missed areas when stirring, and also ensuring that the scraper has no missed areas when scraping, thus ensuring the stirring effect and the scraping effect.

[0029] 5. The cooking component provided in this application, by tilting the spatula surface towards the opening of the cooking chamber, reduces the force exerted on the spatula during scraping and stirring, thus lowering the difficulty of these actions. Furthermore, when the spatula scrapes the walls of the cooking chamber, it pushes substances adhering to the walls towards the opening, simulating the scraping motion of a person cooking, thereby ensuring the quality of the cooked product.

[0030] 6. The cooking component provided in this application, by setting a spreading surface, enables the scraper part to not only have a scraping function but also a spreading function, as long as the rotation direction of the pot body relative to the stirring component is correct, thus enriching the functions of the scraper part.

[0031] 7. The cooking component provided in this application, by tilting the spreading surface toward the opening of the cooking chamber away from the cooking chamber, can spread the material in the cooking chamber away from the opening of the cooking chamber when the scraper moves relative to the wall of the cooking chamber in the opposite direction of the scraping direction. In this way, when the scraper scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber, all the food spread on the wall can be scraped off the wall, ensuring the scraping effect.

[0032] 8. The cooking component provided in this application is designed as a plate, with the spreading surface and the scraper surface arranged parallel to each other. That is, the scraper is made of a plate-shaped component of uniform thickness, which does not require a complicated shape and has a simple processing and manufacturing process.

[0033] 9. The cooking component provided in this application has a Teflon coating. Teflon has excellent non-stick properties, heat resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can reduce the risk of food sticking to the spatula, facilitate cleaning of the spatula, and also protect the spatula and extend its service life.

[0043] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the specific implementation methods of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the accompanying drawings described below are only some embodiments of this application. For those skilled in the art, other drawings and other implementation methods can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0044] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to this application, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of the components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one."

[0045] It should also be further understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0046] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0048] refer to Figures 1-6This application provides a cooking assembly, including: a pot body 1, the pot body 1 having a cooking chamber 2, the cooking chamber 2 being a rotating body, the pot body 1 being adapted to rotate about a first axis 3, the first axis 3 being coincident with the axis of the rotating body; a stirring assembly 4, the stirring assembly 4 including at least one scraper part 6; the stirring assembly 4 being rotatably connected to the bottom of the cooking chamber 2, the stirring assembly 4 being adapted to rotate about a second axis 5, the second axis 5 being parallel to and a certain distance away from the first axis 3; when the stirring assembly 4 rotates, the distance between the scraper part 6 and the wall of the cooking chamber 2 changes; in the scraper state, the scraper part 6 is tightly engaged with the wall of the cooking chamber 2, so that the scraper part 6 scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber 2.

[0049] Understandably, by misaligning the rotation axis of the pot body 1 and the rotation axis of the stirring assembly 4, the distance between the scraper part 6 and the container wall can be adjusted as the stirring assembly 4 rotates. When the scraper part 6 is close to the container wall, it can scrape the container wall of the cooking chamber 2 as the pot body 1 rotates in a specific direction (clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the stirring assembly 4). When scraping is not needed, simply rotate the stirring assembly 4 to move the scraper part 6 away from the container wall. The scraper part 6 can switch between a scraping state and a non-scraping state, ensuring that the cooking assembly has a scraping function while avoiding damage to the scraper part 6 and the pot body 1 caused by prolonged pressure between the scraper part 6 and the container wall. Regardless of whether the scraper part 6 is in a scraping state, it always has a stirring function.

[0050] refer to Figures 1-5 In one embodiment, the bottom of the cooking chamber 2 along the first axis 3 is spherical. It is worth noting that by designing the bottom of the cooking chamber 2 as spherical, on the one hand, the spherical bottom can be heated evenly when the heating source heats the pot body 1; on the other hand, the spherical bottom design allows the scraper part 6 to scrape the entire wall of the cooking chamber 2 that is in contact with the food, ensuring a better scraping effect. In other embodiments, the bottom of the cooking chamber 2 along the first axis 3 is flat, meaning the cooking chamber 2 is a cylindrical shape with a flat bottom. In this case, the scraper part 6 can only scrape the side walls of the cooking chamber 2 and cannot scrape the flat bottom.

[0051] refer to Figures 1-6In one embodiment, the stirring assembly 4 includes a first scraper portion 7 and a second scraper portion 8, which are distributed at a preset angle around a second axis 5. The first scraper portion 7 is adapted to scrape the wall of the cooking chamber 2 at a first depth range 9, which is the range of the wall that the first scraper portion 7 can scrape. The second scraper portion 8 is adapted to scrape the wall of the cooking chamber 2 at a second depth range 10, which is the range of the wall that the second scraper portion 8 can scrape. The first depth range 9 and the second depth range 10 are both distributed along the axial direction of the first axis 3, and the first depth range 9 and the second depth range 10 at most partially overlap in the axial direction of the first axis 3.

[0052] It should be noted that by setting the first scraper part 7 and the second scraper part 8 at a preset angle, and by having at most a partial overlap between the first scraper part 7's scraping depth range 9 and the second scraper part 8's scraping depth range 10, the mixing component 4 can achieve a good mixing effect regardless of whether the food is large or small.

[0053] refer to Figures 3-5 In one embodiment, the first depth range 9 and the second depth range 10 partially overlap in the axial direction of the first axis 3. It is particularly easy to understand that by making the first depth range 9 and the second depth range 10 partially overlap, the first depth range 9 and the second depth range 10 can be fully connected, ensuring that the stirring assembly 4 has no missed areas when stirring, and also ensuring that the scraper part 6 has no missed areas when scraping, thus ensuring the stirring effect and the scraping effect.

[0054] refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 In one embodiment, the side of the scraper 6 facing the scraping direction of the scraper 6 is the scraper surface 11. The scraper surface 11 is inclined towards the opening of the cooking chamber 2 so that when the scraper 6 scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber 2, the material adhering to the wall of the cooking chamber 2 is pushed towards the opening of the cooking chamber 2.

[0055] It is important to note that by tilting the spatula surface 11 towards the opening of the cooking chamber 2, the force exerted on the spatula 6 during scraping and stirring is reduced, thus simplifying the process. Furthermore, when the spatula 6 scrapes the walls of the cooking chamber 2, it pushes any adhering material towards the opening, mimicking the scraping motion of a person cooking and ensuring the quality of the final product.

[0056] refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 6In one embodiment, the scraper part 6 further includes a spreading surface 12. The spreading surface 12 and the scraper surface 11 are located on opposite sides of the scraper part 6. The spreading surface 12 is used to spread and press the material in the cooking chamber 2. By setting the spreading surface 12, as long as the rotation direction of the pot body 1 relative to the stirring component 4 is correct, the scraper part 6 not only has a scraping function but also a spreading function, thus enriching the functions of the scraper part 6. For example, if the pot body 1 is in the scraping state when rotating clockwise (the chamber wall is in contact with the scraper part 6), then when the pot body 1 rotates counterclockwise, the scraper part 6 can enter the spreading state. At this time, by adjusting the distance between the chamber wall and the scraper part 6, the spreading thickness of the food can be controlled.

[0057] refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 The spreading surface 12 is inclined toward the opening of the cooking chamber 2 so that when the scraper part 6 moves relative to the wall of the cooking chamber 2 in the opposite direction of the scraper direction, the material in the cooking chamber 2 is spread away from the opening of the cooking chamber 2.

[0058] It is easy to understand that by tilting the spreading surface 12 towards the direction away from the opening of the cooking chamber 2, when the scraper part 6 moves relative to the wall of the cooking chamber 2 in the opposite direction of the scraping direction, the material in the cooking chamber 2 is spread away from the opening of the cooking chamber 2. In this way, when the scraper part 6 scrapes the wall of the cooking chamber 2, all the food spread on the wall can be scraped off the wall, ensuring the scraping effect. If the spreading surface 12 is set parallel to the first axis 3 or tilted towards the opening of the cooking chamber 2, the food tends to spread along the wall towards the opening when the scraper part 6 is spreading the food. Thus, when the scraper part 6 scrapes the food spread on the wall, it cannot scrape the food beyond the coverage area of ​​the scraper part 6.

[0059] refer to Figures 1-4 , Figure 6 In one embodiment, the scraper part 6 is plate-shaped, and the spreading surface 12 and the scraper surface 11 are arranged parallel to each other. By designing the scraper part 6 as plate-shaped, and the spreading surface 12 and the scraper surface 11 are arranged parallel to each other, that is, the scraper part 6 is made of a plate-shaped component of uniform thickness, there is no need for a complex shape, and the processing and manufacturing process is simple.

[0060] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the scraper is coated with a Teflon coating. By applying a Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, abbreviated as PTFE) coating, which possesses excellent non-stick properties, heat resistance, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance, the risk of food sticking to the scraper is reduced, facilitating cleaning and protecting the scraper, thus extending its service life. In other embodiments, the Teflon coating can be replaced with other coatings of materials with the same function.

[0061] This application also provides a cooking device, including the aforementioned cooking components. The specific structure of the cooking components is as described in the foregoing embodiments. Since this cooking device adopts the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments, it at least has the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the foregoing embodiments, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0062] It should be noted that the above embodiments can be freely combined as needed. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
