Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food equipment technology, specifically to a lard storage and conveying device for an automatic cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Automatic cooking machines have been widely adopted in home kitchens and the catering industry, significantly improving cooking efficiency and convenience. Currently, most mainstream cooking machine models use liquid vegetable oil as the cooking oil. This type of oil maintains good fluidity at ambient temperatures of 5-40℃ and can be precisely metered and delivered using standardized delivery modules such as gear pumps and plunger pumps. However, when cooking certain cuisines (such as Chinese stir-fry and pastry), lard is necessary to ensure the unique texture of the dishes. Since lard is solid at ambient temperatures below 30℃, most cooking machines cannot directly process it, requiring users to interrupt the automated process and manually add solid lard blocks, relying on the heat conducted through the pot to temporarily melt them. This significantly reduces the automation level of the cooking process. Therefore, this application aims to provide a lard storage and delivery device for automatic cooking machines, enabling the machines to store, melt, and deliver lard. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art and provide a lard conveying device for an automatic cooking machine, which can realize the automated processing of lard and improve the versatility of the cooking machine.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is: a lard storage and conveying device for an automatic cooking machine, comprising a storage mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The storage mechanism includes an insulated container and an inner liner. The inner liner is disposed inside the insulated container and is used to directly store lard. The insulated container is connected to a first heating element, which is used to regulate the temperature inside the insulated container. The conveying mechanism includes a pump and a pipeline. The pipeline includes an oil suction pipe, a connecting pipe, and an oil outlet pipe. The inlet of the pump is connected to one end of the oil suction pipe, and the other end of the oil suction pipe is located in the inner liner. The outlet of the pump is connected to one end of the connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is connected to one end of the oil outlet pipe.

[0005] Furthermore, the outside of the oil outlet pipe is sequentially provided with a heat-conducting pipe, a second heating element, and an outer insulation pipe; the heat-conducting pipe is used to separate the second heating element from the oil outlet pipe to avoid direct contact between the oil outlet pipe and the second heating element, and to facilitate the disassembly of the oil outlet pipe for cleaning; the second heating element is used to generate heat to regulate the oil outlet; the outer insulation pipe has the function of protecting the internal structure and keeping it warm.

[0006] Furthermore, the lard storage and conveying device also includes a controller for signal control and power control. The controller is connected to the pump, the first heating element, and the second heating element via cables.

[0007] Furthermore, a base plate is provided at the bottom of the storage mechanism, and the first heating element is fixedly installed on the base plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the storage mechanism also includes a top cover, which works in conjunction with the inner liner or insulated container to form a closed space, creating a better constant temperature and insulation environment.

[0009] Furthermore, the pump and related piping can be fixed to the inner surface of the top cover.

[0011] Furthermore, the heat pipe and the oil outlet pipe are detachably connected, and the second heating element is wound around the outside of the heat pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, the heat pipe can be made of metal spring pipe, and when the heat pipe is sleeved outside the oil outlet pipe, there is a sufficient gap between the two, so that the oil outlet pipe and the heat pipe can be easily separated, facilitating convenient replacement and cleaning of the oil outlet pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, temperature sensors can be installed on the inner liner and the insulation container. These sensors are connected to the controller, monitor the temperature at their respective locations in real time, and send the monitoring results to the controller, allowing the controller to automatically adjust the storage temperature of the lard based on the signal. Preferably, a temperature sensor can also be installed on the oil outlet pipe.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The lard conveying device of this utility model includes a storage mechanism and a conveying mechanism, which can integrate the functions of melting, heat preservation and conveying lard into one unit. Moreover, the temperature control of lard during storage and conveying is relatively independent, that is, the storage temperature of the inner tank and the conveying temperature of the pipeline can be independently adjusted, which is convenient to set according to actual needs. In addition, the oil outlet pipe adopts a quick-release structure design, which is convenient to disassemble and meets the requirements of high-frequency cleaning and quick replacement of lard pipeline.

Methods or functional components not specifically described in the embodiments are all prior art. Unless otherwise defined, all technical terms and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Example

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment is a lard storage and conveying device for an automatic cooking machine, including a storage mechanism and a conveying mechanism. The storage mechanism includes an insulated container 1 and an inner liner 2. The inner liner 2 is disposed inside the insulated container 1 and is used to directly store lard. The insulated container 1 is connected to a first heating element 9, which is used to regulate the temperature inside the insulated container 1. The conveying mechanism includes a pump 4 and a pipeline. The pipeline includes an oil suction pipe 5, a connecting pipe 6, and an oil outlet pipe 7. The inlet of the pump 4 is connected to one end of the oil suction pipe 5, and the other end of the oil suction pipe 5 is located in the inner liner 2. The outlet of the pump 4 is connected to one end of the connecting pipe 6, and the other end of the connecting pipe 6 is connected to one end of the oil outlet pipe 7.

[0021] In this embodiment, the outside of the oil outlet pipe 7 is provided with a heat-conducting pipe 11, a second heating element 10, and an outer insulation pipe 12 in sequence. The heat-conducting pipe 11 is used to separate the second heating element 10 from the oil outlet pipe 7, that is, to avoid direct contact between the oil outlet pipe 7 and the second heating element 10, so as to facilitate subsequent disassembly of the oil outlet pipe 7 for cleaning. The second heating element 10 is used to generate heat to regulate the temperature of the oil outlet pipe 7. The outer insulation pipe 12 has the function of protecting the internal structure and keeping it warm.

[0022] In this embodiment, the lard storage and conveying device also includes a controller 14, which is used to realize signal control and power control. The controller 14 is connected to the pump 4, the first heating element 9 and the second heating element 10 via a cable 13.

[0023] In this embodiment, a base plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the storage mechanism, and the first heating element 9 is installed on the base plate 8. The storage mechanism also includes an upper cover 3, which cooperates with the inner liner 2 or the insulated container 1 to form a closed space, creating a better constant temperature and insulation environment. The pump 4 and related pipes can also be fixed to the upper cover 3.

[0024] In this embodiment, the first heating element 9 is an electric heating wire, and the second heating element 10 is a heating strip. The heat-conducting pipe 11 is detachably connected to the oil outlet pipe 7, and the heating strip is wrapped around the outside of the heat-conducting pipe 11.

[0025] In this embodiment, the heat pipe 11 is a metal spring pipe, and when the heat pipe 11 is sleeved outside the oil outlet pipe 7, there is a sufficient gap between the two, so that the oil outlet pipe 7 and the heat pipe 11 can be easily separated, making it convenient to replace and clean the oil outlet pipe 7.

[0026] In other embodiments, a temperature sensor can be installed inside the inner liner 2 or the insulated container 1. The temperature sensor is connected to the controller 14, and it monitors the temperature at the corresponding location in real time, sending the monitoring result signal to the controller 14 so that the controller 14 can automatically adjust the temperature of the lard storage according to the signal. Of course, a temperature sensor can also be installed on the oil outlet pipe 7 to facilitate the controller 14 in adjusting and controlling the temperature of the lard in the oil outlet pipe 7.

[0027] The lard storage and conveying device in this embodiment operates as follows: Before use, solid or liquid lard can be inverted into the inner liner. Depending on the state of the lard, the control box issues a melting or heat preservation command, and the electric heating wire starts working to achieve liquid preservation of the lard. The heating belt inside the pipeline also starts working, achieving a temperature control of 60-65 degrees Celsius depending on the ambient temperature. When the cooking machine issues a command for lard, the control box starts the pump, which then conveys the specified weight of lard through the constant temperature pipeline to the designated location (such as the cooking pot).

[0028] The above are only some embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various combinations and modifications of the aforementioned technical features. Any improvements, modifications, equivalent substitutions, or applications of the structure or method of the present utility model to other fields to achieve the same effect without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
