Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking appliances technology, and in particular to a stir-fry machine and cooking system. Background Technology

[0002] A stir-fry machine is a machine used for automatic cooking. It can autonomously control the heating time and stir-fry automatically. To simulate stir-frying, current stir-fry machines typically have an independent stirring mechanism. However, this mechanism can easily damage the integrity of ingredients, making it unsuitable for cooking large or delicate ingredients like tofu or fish. Furthermore, the stirring mechanism is relatively large, requiring a larger drive mechanism, resulting in a bulky overall structure that is incompatible with existing stovetops and, consequently, with standard household range hoods. Additionally, most current stir-fry machines use electric heating, meaning the pot is completely closed during cooking, resulting in a lack of wok hei (the smoky aroma imparted by a hot wok). Utility Model Content

[0003] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cooking machine that is small in size, easy to install on the stove, can be used in conjunction with a gas stove or range hood, and causes little damage to food.

[0004] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cooking system that uses the aforementioned stir-fry machine, in contrast to the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem mentioned above is: a cooking machine, including a support and a pot body, characterized in that: it also includes a stirring component;

[0006] The outer sleeve of the pot body is provided with a support ring, and the bracket is provided with a first driving mechanism that is driven to drive the support ring to rotate and swing back and forth. The support ring is provided with a second driving mechanism that is driven to drive the pot body to rotate circumferentially.

[0007] The stirring element is fitted onto the inner wall of the pot and extends along the depth direction of the pot. The support ring is provided with a third driving mechanism that is connected to the stirring element to drive the stirring element to move circumferentially along the pot.

[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the pot body is provided with a first meshing tooth along the circumferential direction, and the second driving mechanism includes a second motor and a second driving gear connected to the driving end of the second motor, wherein the second driving gear is meshed with the first meshing tooth.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the pot body is provided with a second meshing tooth along the circumferential direction at least matching the movement range of the stirring component, and the third driving mechanism includes a third motor and a third driving gear connected to the driving end of the third motor, the third driving gear being meshed with the second meshing tooth.

[0010] To facilitate automatic material dispensing, the support is equipped with a box for placing ingredients and / or seasonings. The box is connected to the pot body via a conveying mechanism, which includes a conveying pipe connecting the box and the pot body.

[0011] With a simple structure, the conveying mechanism also includes a pump body and a mixing and diverting device. The pump body is mounted on the box body. The mixing and diverting device includes a main body with a main channel. The main body also has an outlet connected to the main channel and multiple inlets. The outlet is connected to the bottom of the pot body through a delivery pipe. The conveying pipe is connected between the output port of the pump body and the inlets of the main body.

[0012] In order to obtain the temperature data of the pot body in real time during operation, a temperature sensor is sealed on the outside of the pot body.

[0013] In order to better achieve the flipping of food inside the pot, at least two raised ribs extending along the depth direction of the pot are provided on the inner wall of the pot at intervals, and the two sides of the raised ribs transition with the inner wall of the pot along an arc.

[0014] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem mentioned above is as follows: a cooking system, including a stove, a stove set on the stove body, and a range hood set above the stove, characterized in that: it includes the aforementioned stir-fry machine, the stir-fry machine is set on the stove and located below the range hood, and the pot body of the stir-fry machine is located above the stove.

[0015] Conveniently, the stove includes a plate-shaped burner cap with multiple burner holes.

[0016] Alternatively, the bracket may be supported on the stovetop and / or fixed to the wall behind the stovetop.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: The stir-fry machine of this invention features a support frame, facilitating its use above a stove. Combined with a gas stove and range hood, it allows for stir-frying in an open position, meeting the requirements of normal gas-fired stir-frying, and producing dishes without the wok-hei (wok aroma). Furthermore, the stir-fry machine of this invention features a miniaturized stirring component that moves along the inner wall of the pot to stir the food. This reduces the size of the drive mechanism and the space occupied by the stirring component within the pot, contributing to its compact design and further facilitating its use with stoves and range hoods. Additionally, the stirring component's close proximity to the inner wall of the pot allows for more precise stirring of the food, minimizing damage to its shape. Attached Figure Description

[0018] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the cooking machine in the embodiment of this utility model.

[0019] Figure 2 This is a rear view of the cooking machine in an embodiment of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cooking machine in this embodiment includes a support 1, a pot body 2, and a stirring component 3.

[0022] The bracket 1 is used to support the pot body 2, and its specific design is determined based on the application environment and ease of operation. In this embodiment, to facilitate the use of the cooking machine with the stove 200 and range hood, the bracket 1 is supported on the stovetop and / or fixed to the wall behind the stovetop. Furthermore, the front of the bracket 1 is open, allowing the user to easily observe the cooking process inside the pot body 2 or actively manipulate the ingredients within the cooking machine.

[0023] The pot body 2 is dynamically positioned on the support 1, thus simulating the flipping motion of the pot body 2 during stir-frying. To achieve this dynamic positioning of the pot body 2 on the support 1, in this embodiment, a support ring 4 is fitted over the pot body 2. The support 1 is connected to the support ring 4 via a first drive mechanism 5. Driving the support ring 4 drives the pot body 2. In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism 5 is used to rotate and swing the support ring 4 back and forth, thereby driving the pot body 2 to rotate and swing back and forth. Specifically, two first drive mechanisms 5 are provided and distributed on the left and right sides of the support 1. Each first drive mechanism 5 includes a first motor 51 and a connecting arm 52 connected to the drive end of the first motor 51. The connecting arm 52 is connected to the support ring 4. The connecting arm 52 of the two first drive mechanisms 5 drives the support ring 4 to swing back and forth, thus driving the pot body 2 to swing back and forth. Based on the driving action of the first drive mechanism 5, the pot body 2 is driven to swing backward, causing the pot opening to tilt forward, and then the pot body 2 is driven back to a horizontal position.

[0024] To facilitate the turning of the food inside the pot 2, a second drive mechanism 6 is provided on the support ring 4, which is connected to the pot 2 to drive the pot 2 to rotate circumferentially. Based on the circumferential rotation of the pot 2 driven by the first drive mechanism 5 and the forward and backward flipping of the pot 2 driven by the first drive mechanism 5, the food inside the pot 2 can fall and turn due to gravity, simulating the stir-frying effect. To facilitate the circumferential rotation drive of the pot 2, a first meshing tooth 21 is provided circumferentially on the outer wall of the pot 2 in this embodiment. The second drive mechanism 6 includes a second motor 61 and a second drive gear 62 connected to the drive end of the second motor 61. The second drive gear 62 is meshed with the first meshing tooth 21.

[0025] The stirring component 3 is used for further active and detailed turning of the ingredients inside the pot 2, solving the problem of detailed stirring that cannot be achieved by rotating the pot 2. The stirring component 3 is fitted against the inner wall of the pot 2 and extends along the depth direction of the pot 2. The support ring 4 is provided with a third drive mechanism 7 that is driven by the stirring component 3 to drive the stirring component 3 to move circumferentially along the pot 2. In order to facilitate the driving of the stirring component 3 and not occupy a large volume of space outside the pot 2, the outer wall of the pot 2 is provided with a second meshing tooth 22 along the circumferential direction at least matching the movement range of the stirring component 3. The third drive mechanism 7 includes a third motor 71 and a third drive gear 72 connected to the drive end of the third motor 71. The third drive gear 72 meshes with the second meshing tooth 22. The third motor 71 can be a relatively small motor, and there is no need to occupy too much space due to a large transmission mechanism. Under the drive of the third drive mechanism 7, the stirring component 3 can perform detailed turning of the ingredients while maintaining their shape, which is suitable for soft and fragile ingredients such as tofu and fish, avoiding the problem of directly crushing these ingredients. Meanwhile, the stirring component 3 can also work with the pot body 2 to rotate circumferentially and flip back and forth to achieve stir-frying and other cooking actions.

[0026] To fully automate the cooking process, the support frame 1 is equipped with a container 8 for holding ingredients and / or seasonings. The container 8 is connected to the pot body 2 via a conveying mechanism 9. The function of the container 8 can be configured to achieve the desired level of automation. For example, it can be configured to hold only ingredients, with seasonings added manually by the user. Alternatively, it can be configured to hold only seasonings, with ingredients added manually. Of course, it can also hold both ingredients and seasonings simultaneously, achieving full automation. The diameter of the outlet varies depending on the materials placed inside the container 8. For the container 8 holding ingredients, a drive structure that flips the container 8 can be used to add ingredients to the pot body 2. For the container 8 holding seasonings, the conveying mechanism 9 can be used for transporting the ingredients. Alternatively, a suitable conveying mechanism 9 can also be selected to transport ingredients.

[0027] The conveying mechanism 9 includes a conveying pipe 91 connecting the box body 8 and the pot body 2, and also includes a pump body 92 and a mixing and diverting device 93. The pump body 92 is mounted on the box body 8. The mixing and diverting device 93 includes a main body with a main channel, an outlet connected to the main channel, and multiple inlets. The outlet is connected to the bottom of the pot body 2 via a feeding pipe 94. The conveying pipe 91 connects the output port of the pump body 92 to the inlets of the main body. Thus, under the action of the pump body 92, the material is conveyed through the conveying pipe 91 and the mixing and diverting device 93 to finally enter the pot body 2.

[0028] A temperature sensor 100 is installed on the outer seal of the pot body 2. Because the pot body 2 is often tilted backward, with its front side wall close to the flame, the temperature sensor 100 is located on the rear side wall of the pot body 2 to avoid the influence of the flame from the stove 200 on the temperature sensor 100. The temperature sensor 100 can detect the temperature during the cooking process, thereby facilitating the control of the heat level.

[0029] To better facilitate the turning of food inside the pot 2, at least two raised ribs 23 extending along the depth of the pot 2 are provided at intervals on the inner wall of the pot 2. The two sides of the raised ribs 23 transition with the inner wall of the pot 2 along an arc. During the rotation of the pot 2, when the food passes by the raised ribs 23, it can detach from the inner wall of the pot 2 due to inertia, avoiding the situation where one side of the food is always in contact with the inner wall of the pot 2, thus achieving a better stir-frying effect.

[0030] This cooking machine features a support bracket 1 for easy mounting above the stove 200. Combined with a gas stove and range hood, it allows the pot 2 to be used in an open position for cooking, meeting the requirements of normal gas cooking and producing dishes without the wok hei (wok aroma). Furthermore, the cooking machine incorporates a miniaturized stirring component 3, which moves along the inner wall of the pot 2 to stir the food. This reduces the size of the drive mechanism and the space occupied by the stirring component 3 within the pot 2, facilitating its compact design and further enhancing its compatibility with the stove 200 and range hood. Additionally, the stirring component 3's close proximity to the inner wall of the pot 2 allows for more precise stirring of the ingredients, minimizing damage to their shape.

[0031] This invention also relates to a cooking system, including a stovetop, a cooktop 200 mounted on the stovetop, and a range hood mounted above the cooktop 200. It also includes the aforementioned stir-fry machine, which is mounted on the stovetop and below the range hood, with the pot body 2 of the stir-fry machine positioned above the cooktop 200. The cooktop 200 includes a plate-shaped burner cap 201 with multiple burner holes 202. A bracket 1 is supported on the stovetop and / or fixed to the wall behind the stovetop.
