Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking machines, and in particular to a water inlet buffer device for automated cooking. Background Technology
[0002] Cooking is a skill primarily based on experience and manual labor, requiring a high level of technical expertise from the operator. However, with the development of technology, intelligent cooking machines have now emerged. Users simply place the food ingredients into the machine, and it can automatically complete the cooking process, improving efficiency and making life more convenient.
[0003] Existing cooking machines generally include a pot body and a water inlet device for adding water to the pot body. When cooking, water can be added to the pot body through the water inlet device to prevent the food from burning or becoming too dry, which would affect the taste of the food. The water inlet device either has a built-in water storage tank to store water for cooking, or it is directly connected to an external water supply device to deliver water for cooking. Regardless of the water inlet method, there is a lack of effective staggered distribution and multi-level buffering of the water flow. The buffering effect of the water flow is limited, resulting in a relatively rapid water flow during cooking, which is not conducive to cooking operations.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a water inlet buffer device for automated cooking. Utility Model Content

A connecting shaft is longitudinally embedded between the two sets of second connecting arms, and the inner end of the first connecting arm is simultaneously movably sleeved with the connecting shaft between the two sets of second connecting arms.
[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the adjusting clamp and the guide rail are movably clamped, the buffer box is a trapezoidal box, the buffer cover is a hemispherical horizontal arrangement, and the buffer cover is semi-open, with its open end connected to the water inlet pipe.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for an automated water inlet buffer device for cooking: it includes a base plate 1 and a support platform 2 that are fixedly connected. A guide rail 3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support platform 2. An adjustment component 4 is slidably connected to the guide rail 3. A second connecting arm 7 is movably connected to both sides of the surface of the adjustment component 4. A first connecting arm 6 is movably connected to the inner side of the second connecting arm 7. A pressure rod 5 is movably connected to the outer end of the first connecting arm 6. A water outlet plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer end of the adjustment component 4. The pressure rod 5 is also movably connected to the support platform 2. The adjustment component 4 includes an adjustment clamp 9 and a buffer box 10 that are fixedly connected. A buffer cover 12 and a filter screen 13 are fixedly connected inside the buffer box 10. A water outlet mesh 14 is provided at the bottom of the surface of the buffer cover 12. A diverter plate 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water outlet mesh 14. A water inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the buffer box 10.
[0023] like Figure 1-2As shown, the pressure rod 5 is arranged in the shape of a "7". Its corner end is connected to the inner side of the support platform 2 by a shaft and a torsion spring sleeve. The top of the pressure rod 5 is movably connected to the outer end of the first connecting arm 6 by a shaft. The first connecting arm 6 passes through the support platform 2 and is movably connected to the inner side of the second connecting arm 7. The second connecting arm 7 consists of two adjustable connecting arms, and there are two sets of them. A connecting shaft is longitudinally embedded between the two sets of second connecting arms 7. The inner end of the first connecting arm 6 is movably sleeved with the connecting shaft between the two sets of second connecting arms 7. The pressure rod 5 achieves the effect of driving the first connecting arm 6 to move inward and outward within the support platform 2. The first connecting arm 6 achieves the effect of driving the second connecting arm 7 to rotate longitudinally. The second connecting arm 7 achieves the effect of driving the adjustment component 4 to rise and fall along the guide rail 3.
[0024] When water needs to be added during the cooking process, the user presses down the lever 5. The lever 5 drives the first connecting arm 6 to adjust inward and outward, which in turn drives the second connecting arm 7 to bend and extend. The second connecting arm 7 then drives the movable adjustment component 4 to adjust up and down along the guide rail 3, thereby controlling the water addition height.
[0025] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the adjusting clamp 9 and the guide rail 3 are movably clamped together. The buffer box 10 is a trapezoidal box. The buffer cover 12 is a hemispherical horizontal structure and is semi-open. Its open end is connected to the water inlet pipe 11. The water inlet pipe 11 is located inside the adjusting clamp 9 and passes through the support platform 2. The water outlet screen 14 is located on the bottom surface of the buffer cover 12. The diverting plate 15 is inclined and located below the water outlet screen 14. Its bottom end is fixedly connected to the water outlet plate 8. The filter screen 13 is inclined and located inside the buffer cover 12. The adjusting clamp 9 facilitates the adjustment of the overall height of the adjusting assembly 4. The buffer box 10, in conjunction with the built-in hemispherical buffer cover 12, achieves the effect of buffering the introduced water source. The inclined filter screen 13 and the water outlet screen 14 achieve the effect of diverting, buffering, and filtering the introduced water source. The diverting plate 15 achieves the effect of diverting and leading out the water source.
[0026] When external water enters the buffer box 10, it is first filtered and buffered by the filter screen 13, and then further buffered by the hemispherical buffer cover 12. Finally, the buffered water flows outward through the bottom water outlet screen 14 and the diversion plate 15.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the device is installed on the side of the external wok through the base plate 1. When in use, the device can add water at different heights according to the water supply requirements. It is also easy to adjust the water supply according to the height of the external wok. During the water inlet operation, the water source can achieve staggered diversion and multi-level buffering through the buffer cover 12, filter screen 13, water outlet screen 14 and diverter plate 15, thereby ensuring the smooth addition of water flow when cooking.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
