Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of catering automation, and in particular to a feeding device and an automatic cooking machine including the same. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of catering automation, cooking robots, as an emerging type of cooking equipment, are gradually demonstrating their enormous market potential and application value.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, the feeding equipment of cooking robots has a complex structure and low feeding efficiency, which affects the efficiency of cooking automation. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of complex structure and low feeding efficiency of the feeding equipment in the prior art, and to provide a feeding device and an automatic cooking machine including the same.
[0005] The present invention solves the above-mentioned technical problems through the following technical solution:
[0006] A feeding device includes a container for containing material to be fed and at least one tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism includes a tilting drive, a transmission swing arm structure and a tilting swing member. The transmission swing arm structure includes a first connecting member, a second connecting member and a sliding member, and at least one swing arm support member.
[0007] One end of the first connector is rotatably connected to the output end of the flipping driver, and the other end of the first connector is movably connected to the second connector and can move relative to it along the axial direction of the first connector; the top ends of the two connectors are connected to the flipping swing member, and the second connector is also connected to the sliding member; the swing arm support is connected to the body of the feeding device, and the swing arm support has a groove that is consistent with the set swinging and flipping path, and part of the sliding member is slidably connected in the groove; the flipping swing member can be selectively connected to the container.
[0008] In this design, the feeding device drives the first connecting member to rotate via a flipping driver. This causes the second connecting member and the sliding member, connected in sequence, to slide within a groove on the swing arm support. The sliding member then slides along a pre-defined swinging and flipping path, which in turn causes the flipping swinging member and its connected container to swing and flip, automatically dispensing material from the container and improving feeding efficiency. This feeding device, through its structure, achieves a conversion from rotational motion to swinging motion, resulting in a simple structure. The pre-defined groove ensures a consistent swinging path, maintaining high reliability in the feeding path and direction, thus improving feeding efficiency. The selectable connection between the swinging swinging member and the container allows for precise feeding by controlling the flipping based on the type and presence of material. The first and second connecting members move relative to each other along the axial direction of the first connecting member. This allows the second connecting member to automatically adjust its relative position to the pre-defined swinging path as it follows the sliding member's swing.
[0009] Preferably, the container is mounted on the base supporting the container from top to bottom along the height direction, or the side of the container is detachably connected to the base supporting the container;
[0010] When the container is mounted on the base supporting the container from top to bottom along the height direction, the chute includes an interconnected arc-shaped swing path chute and a lifting path chute.
[0011] In this design, the container is secured to the support base using two connection methods: a top-down snap-fit and a detachable side connection, ensuring it won't tip over unless it overturns. When the container is connected to the support base using the top-down snap-fit method, a sliding component first slides within the lifting path groove, lifting the container and disengaging it from the top snap-fit, separating the container from the support base. Then, it slides within the arc-shaped swing path groove, achieving swinging and overturning. Thus, the interconnected arc-shaped swing path groove and lifting path groove enable a feeding method that involves first lifting and then swinging.
[0012] Preferably, the other end of the first connector is retractably connected to the inner hole of the second connector.
[0013] In this solution, the two connectors can move relative to each other along the axial direction through the aforementioned retractable connection method, and can automatically adjust their relative positions according to the set swing path.
[0014] Preferably, the feeding device includes at least two of the aforementioned flipping mechanisms, and the flipping drivers of the two flipping mechanisms drive the first connector to rotate around the central axis of the first connector synchronously or asynchronously.
[0015] In this solution, two flipping mechanisms are driven synchronously or asynchronously to achieve two different flipping and oscillating needs. For example, when flipping is driven synchronously, two containers can be fed at the same time, improving feeding efficiency; while when driven asynchronously, the two flipping mechanisms can flip alternately.
[0016] Preferably, the two flipping mechanisms are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the feeding device; the flipping mechanism further includes a flipping drive gear and a flipping transmission gear, the two flipping mechanisms share the same flipping driver and the same flipping drive gear, the output end of the flipping driver is connected to the flipping drive gear, the flipping drive gear is meshed with the two flipping transmission gears respectively, and the two flipping transmission gears are coaxially connected to the first connecting rod through a transmission shaft respectively.
[0017] In this design, two tilting mechanisms are positioned at opposite ends of the feeding device, with a rational arrangement of tilting space to ensure they do not interfere with each other and facilitate operation. The two tilting mechanisms share the same tilting driver and the same tilting drive gear, simplifying the overall drive structure. This allows a single tilting drive gear to simultaneously drive both transmission swing arms to perform synchronous or asynchronous tilting movements, thus enabling the two containers to tilt synchronously or asynchronously.
[0018] Preferably, the circumferential surface of the flip drive gear includes a gear portion and a non-gear portion, wherein the gear portion alternately meshes with the flip transmission gears disposed on both sides of the flip drive gear.
[0019] In this scheme, asynchronous transmission is achieved by the aforementioned gears alternately meshing with the flip transmission gears located on both sides of the flip drive gear, thereby enabling the two containers to flip asynchronously.
[0020] Preferably, the swing arm support includes a support plate and a swing arm slide groove structure connected to the support plate, and the support plate is connected to the body of the feeding device;
[0021] And / or, the swing arm support is disposed between the tilting transmission gear and the first connecting member, and the transmission shaft is respectively fitted with rolling bearings on both sides of the tilting transmission gear, and the two rolling bearings are respectively disposed on the swing arm support and the housing that accommodates the tilting drive, the tilting drive gear and the tilting transmission gear.
[0022] In this design, the swing support component forms a split structure through the aforementioned support plate and swing arm slide groove structure, facilitating manufacturing. Rolling bearings are fitted on both sides of the drive shaft via a flip-drive gear. This ensures that the rotation of each gear and drive shaft does not affect the fixed connection between the swing arm support component, the housing, and other components. Furthermore, the two rolling bearings provide support force, enhancing the stability of the transmission.
[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the container is provided with a magnetic adsorbent, and the tilting swing member is provided with an electromagnet at the opposite position of the magnetic adsorbent. The electromagnet is connected to an external power source and a control unit. The control unit is used to control the switching on and off of the electromagnet and the external power source, so as to control the electromagnet to selectively magnetically connect with the magnetic adsorbent.
[0024] In this solution, by energizing or de-energizing the electromagnet, it can selectively generate an attractive force with magnetic materials. When energized, the electromagnet can attract containers, causing the oscillating component to swing the containers as a whole. By controlling the switching of the electromagnet and the external power supply through the control unit, it can selectively attract one or more containers according to a set program, achieving precise material feeding.
[0025] Preferably, the feeding device further includes a rotating mechanism, which includes a rotating driver, a rotating drive gear, at least one rotating transmission gear, and a rotating base. The output end of the rotating driver is connected to the rotating drive gear, the rotating drive gear is meshed with the rotating transmission gear, the rotating base is rotatably connected to the rotating transmission gear, and at least one of the containers is placed on the rotating base.
[0026] In this solution, the feeding device achieves container movement at different positions through the aforementioned rotating mechanism, thereby automating the feeding process. Specifically, the rotation of the rotating drive gear and the rotating transmission gear is achieved through gear meshing, and the rotating base is driven to rotate under the action of the rotating driver, thus moving the container to the target position for feeding.
[0027] An automatic cooking machine includes a feeding device as described above, the feeding device being used to automatically feed vegetables.
[0028] In this solution, the automatic cooking machine achieves automatic food feeding through the aforementioned feeding device, which improves feeding efficiency and simplifies the structure. The chute with a set path ensures that the flipping and swinging path is always consistent, and the flipping and swinging will not easily deviate from the feeding path due to prolonged use, thus improving the reliability of feeding.
[0029] The positive and progressive effects of this utility model are as follows: the feeding device and the automatic cooking machine including it realize automatic feeding, improve feeding efficiency, and have a simple structure. The sliding groove with a set path ensures that the path of flipping and swinging is always consistent, and the flipping and swinging will not easily deviate from the feeding path due to long-term use, thus improving the reliability of feeding.

[0072] Example 1
[0073] This embodiment provides a feeding device 1, such as... Figure 1-4As shown, the feeding device 1 includes a container 3 containing the material to be fed and at least one tilting mechanism 4. The tilting mechanism 4 includes a tilting driver 41, a transmission swing arm structure 44, and a tilting swing member 446. The transmission swing arm structure 44 includes a first connecting member 441, a second connecting member 442, and a sliding member 443, as well as at least one swing arm support member 445. One end of the first connecting member 441 is rotatably connected to the output end of the tilting driver 41, and the other end of the first connecting member 441 is movably connected to the second connecting member 442 and can move relative to it along the axial direction of the first connecting member 441. The top end of the second connecting member 442 is connected to the tilting swing member 446, and the second connecting member 442 is also connected to the sliding member 443. The swing arm support member 445 is connected to the body of the feeding device 1, and the swing arm support member 445 has a groove 4453 that is consistent with the set tilting and tilting path. Part of the sliding member 443 is slidably connected in the groove 4453. The tilting swing member 446 can be selectively connected to the container 3.
[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, container 3 is a vegetable box containing vegetables to be added. It has two flipping mechanisms 4, located at opposite positions. One flipping mechanism 4 automatically adds vegetables, while the other flipping mechanism 4 flips the used vegetable box for cleaning. The flipping driver 41 is a motor. The bottom end of the first connecting member 441 is a ring-shaped structure fitted onto a transmission shaft 449. The transmission shaft 449 is connected to the output end of the drive motor, thus enabling the ring-shaped structure to rotate through the transmission shaft 449. The upper half of the first connecting member 441 is a rod that extends into the inner hole of the lower tube of the second connecting member 442. The two connecting members can freely extend and retract along the axial direction of the rod in the upper half of the first connecting member 441, thereby achieving relative movement. The upper part of the second connecting member 442 is a flat plate. The upper surface of the plate is connected to the flipping swing member 446, and the lower surface of the plate is provided with a small protrusion. One end of the sliding member 443 is installed on the small protrusion, and the other end of the sliding member 443 extends into the groove 4453 of the swing arm support member 445. The swing arm support member 445 is connected to the main body of the feeding device 1 and remains fixed. The swing arm support member 445 has an arc-shaped groove 4453. The path design of the groove 4453 is consistent with the set swinging and flipping path, so that it can flip correctly. The flipping swing member 446 is a block structure member, which is relatively thick to provide stable swinging.
[0075] When the feeding device 1 performs the flipping feeding, its motion relationship is as follows: the drive motor rotates, causing the first connecting member 441 to rotate around the central axis of its annular structure. As the first connecting member 441 rotates, the second connecting member 442 connected to the first connecting member 441 will also rotate, causing the sliding member 443 to slide in the slide groove 4453. The sliding member 443 pulls the second connecting member 442, causing the flipping swing member 446 to swing according to the set swinging flipping path, thereby flipping the container 3 connected to the flipping swing member 446.
[0076] The feeding device 1 drives the first connecting member 441 to rotate via the flipping driver 41. This causes the second connecting member 442 and the sliding member 443, which are connected in sequence, to slide within the groove 4453 on the swing arm support member 445. This allows the sliding member 443 to slide along a set swinging and flipping path. The sliding member 443, sliding along this path, drives the flipping swing member 446 and its connected container 3 to swing and flip, automatically dispensing material from the container 3 and improving feeding efficiency. Through this structural design, the feeding device 1 achieves the conversion from rotational motion to swinging motion, resulting in a simple structure. The groove 4453, with its set path, ensures that the swinging path remains consistent, maintaining high reliability in the feeding path and direction, thereby improving feeding efficiency. The tilting swing member 446 and the container 3 are connected in an optional manner, which can control the tilting according to the type of material and whether there is material, so as to achieve precise feeding. The first connecting member 441 and the second connecting member 442 move relative to each other along the axial direction of the first connecting member 441, so that the second connecting member 442 can automatically adjust the relative position between the two connecting members according to the needs of the swing path during the swinging process of the sliding member 443, so as to adapt to the set swing path.
[0077] In other embodiments, a feeding device 1 may have multiple flipping mechanisms 4 or only one flipping mechanism 4, depending on the need for the flipping function. The container 3 is selected and connected only when it moves onto the flipping swing member 446 of the flipping mechanism 4, thus triggering the flipping. If the container 3 has not yet moved onto the flipping swing member 446, it is not selected and connected, and therefore no flipping occurs. The shape of each component of the transmission swing arm structure 44 can be adjusted according to the actual mating structure, depending on the required transmission effect.
[0078] Among them, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, a magnet is provided on the side of container 3, and an electromagnet 447 is provided on the corresponding side of the base. The container 3 and the base are detachably connected by the magnet and electromagnet 447 attracting each other when energized or separating when de-energized. Furthermore, as... Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, container 3 can also be secured to the base supporting container 3 from top to bottom along the height direction through the opening 32 on its top edge. Both connection methods (top-down securing and side-detachable connection) can fix container 3 to the supporting base, so that container 3 will not tip over when it does not overturn.
[0079] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the chute 4453 includes an interconnected arc-shaped swing path chute 4454 and a lifting path chute 4455. In this embodiment, the arc-shaped swing path chute 4454 and the lifting path chute 4455 are two segments of a single chute 4453. The lifting path chute 4455 is not a completely vertical lifting path chute, but rather swings outwards along the arc shape while lifting. The sliding member 443 first slides within the lifting path chute 4455 to lift the container 3 and separate it from the supporting base; then it slides within the arc-shaped swing path chute 4454 to achieve swinging and flipping. Therefore, through the interconnected arc-shaped swing path chute 4454 and the lifting path chute 4455, a feeding method of first lifting and then flipping / swinging is achieved.
[0080] In this embodiment, since the container 3 is connected to the base via its side, as long as the opening 32 on the base corresponding to the bottom of the container 3 is large enough to not obstruct the tilting and swinging motion, the slide 4453 may not have a lifting path slide 4455, but only an arc-shaped swinging path slide 4454. However, if the container 3 is mounted on the base supporting the container 3 from top to bottom along the height direction, the slide 4453 needs to have a lifting path portion to facilitate lifting the container 3 first. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the specific shape of the slide 4453 can be adjusted according to the structural fit requirements based on different swinging path shapes.
[0081] In this embodiment, the upper half of the first connector 441 extends into the inner hole of the lower half of the second connector 442, achieving a telescopic connection. Through this telescopic connection, the two connectors can move relative to each other axially and automatically adjust their relative positions according to a set swing path. There are various ways to achieve relative movement between the two connectors. In other embodiments, other connection methods can also be used to achieve relative movement. For example, the two connectors can move relative to each other through a guide rail or slider in a sliding connection.
[0082] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the feeding device 1 in this embodiment has two flipping mechanisms 4, which are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the feeding device 1. Each flipping mechanism 4 includes a flipping drive gear 42 and a flipping transmission gear 43. The two flipping mechanisms 4 share the same flipping driver 41 and the same flipping drive gear 42. The output end of the flipping driver 41 is connected to the flipping drive gear 42, and the flipping drive gear 42 is meshed with the two flipping transmission gears 43 respectively. The two flipping transmission gears 43 are coaxially connected to the first connecting rod through a transmission shaft 449. By positioning the two flipping mechanisms 4 at opposite ends of the feeding device 1, the flipping space is rationally arranged, and they do not interfere with each other, making operation more convenient. By sharing the same flipping driver 41 and the same flipping drive gear 42, the overall drive structure of the two flipping mechanisms 4 is simplified. One flipping drive gear 42 can simultaneously drive the two transmission swing arm structures 44 to perform synchronous or asynchronous flipping movements, thereby realizing the synchronous or asynchronous flipping of the two containers 3.
[0083] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the circumferential surface of the flipping drive gear 42 includes a gear portion 421 and a non-gear portion 422. The gear portion 421 alternately meshes with the flipping transmission gears 43 located on both sides of the flipping drive gear 42. By alternately meshing the gear portion 421 with the flipping transmission gears 43 located on both sides of the flipping drive gear 42, asynchronous transmission is achieved, thereby enabling the two containers 3 to flip asynchronously.
[0084] In other embodiments, the two flipping mechanisms 4 of the feeding device 1 can be two independently driven flipping mechanisms 4, that is, each of the two flipping mechanisms 4 has a flipping driver 41, which drives the flipping swinging member 446 at different positions to flip synchronously or asynchronously. This can realize two different flipping swings. For example, when the flipping is driven synchronously, the two containers 3 can be fed at the same time, improving the feeding efficiency; while when the flipping is driven asynchronously, the two flipping mechanisms 4 can flip alternately.
[0085] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the swing arm support 445 includes a support plate 4451 and a swing arm slide groove structure 4452 connected to the support plate 4451. The support plate 4451 is connected to the body of the feeding device 1. The swing support is divided into a support plate 4451 and a swing arm slide groove structure 4452, forming a split structure, which facilitates processing and manufacturing.
[0086] The swing arm support 445 is located between the tilting transmission gear 43 and the first connecting member 441. Rolling bearings 25 are respectively fitted onto both sides of the tilting transmission gear 43 on the drive shaft 449. The two rolling bearings 25 are respectively mounted on the swing arm support 445 and the housing accommodating the tilting driver 41, the tilting drive gear 42, and the tilting transmission gear 43. The rotation of the gears and drive shaft 449 via the rolling bearings 25 on both sides of the tilting transmission gear 43 ensures that the rotation of the gears and drive shaft 449 does not affect the fixed connection between the swing arm support 445, the housing, and other components. Furthermore, the two rolling bearings 25 provide support force, enhancing the stability of the transmission.
[0087] like Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of container 3 is provided with a magnetic adsorbent 31, which is specifically a circular magnet. The flipping and swinging component 446 has an electromagnet 447 positioned opposite the magnetic adsorbent 31. The electromagnet 447 is connected to an external power supply and a control unit. The control unit controls the switching of the electromagnet 447 with the external power supply, allowing it to selectively connect magnetically with the magnetic adsorbent 31. By energizing or de-energizing the electromagnet 447, it can selectively generate an adsorption force with the magnetic adsorbent 31. When energized, it can adsorb the container 3, causing the flipping and swinging component 446 to swing the container 3 as a whole. By controlling the switching of the electromagnet 447 with the external power supply, it can selectively adsorb with one or more containers 3 according to a set program, achieving precise feeding.
[0088] Among them, such as Figure 5-8 As shown, the feeding device 1 also includes a rotating mechanism 2, which includes a rotating driver 21, a rotating drive gear 22, at least one rotating transmission gear 23, and a rotating base 26. The output end of the rotating driver 21 is connected to the rotating drive gear 22, and the rotating drive gear 22 is meshed with the rotating transmission gear 23. The rotating base 26 is rotatably connected to the rotating transmission gear 23, and at least one container 3 is placed on the rotating base 26. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotating driver 21 is also a drive motor, and there is one rotating drive gear 22 and one rotating transmission gear 23, which mesh with each other. In different embodiments, the rotating mechanism 2 can be large or small. The number of rotating drive gears 22 and rotating transmission gears 23 can be adjusted according to the arrangement space requirements, and the number of containers 3 can also be adjusted as needed. The feeding device 1 realizes the flow of containers 3 at different positions through the above-mentioned rotating mechanism 2, thereby achieving automated feeding. In this process, the rotation drive gear 22 and the rotation transmission gear 23 mesh together to achieve transmission in a gear meshing manner. Under the action of the rotation driver 21, the rotating base 26 is driven to rotate, thereby moving the container 3 to the target position for feeding.
[0089] In other embodiments, the feeding device 1 may also use other methods to feed materials, and is not limited to using the rotating mechanism 2 of this embodiment to feed materials by rotation.
[0090] The feeding device 1 in this embodiment can be applied to an automatic cooking machine. Its flipping action can realize automatic feeding of vegetables or flipping the container 3 for cleaning. It can also pour the cooked vegetables or semi-finished products into the pot or plate during the cooking process. It can also be used in other occasions where automatic flipping feeding is required.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] This embodiment provides an automatic cooking machine, which includes a feeding device 1 as described in Embodiment 1. The feeding device 1 is used to automatically feed vegetables. The automatic cooking machine achieves automatic vegetable feeding through the feeding device 1, which improves the feeding efficiency and simplifies the structure. The slide groove 4453 with a set path ensures that the flipping and swinging path is always consistent, and the flipping and swinging will not easily deviate from the feeding path due to prolonged use, thus improving the reliability of feeding.
