Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a fully automatic stir-fry robot. Background Technology

[0002] Fully automatic cooking robots typically include functions such as automatic cooking, automatic food dispensing, and automatic pan washing. For example, patent CN117837919A discloses a fully automatic cooking robot, including a main body, a wok and its heating and posture adjustment mechanisms, a stirring rib and its stirring drive mechanism. The main body has a cooking cavity, with the wok rotatably positioned between the left and right side walls of the cooking cavity. The stirring rib is rotatably positioned inside the wok. The heating mechanism supplies heat to the wok, the posture adjustment mechanism drives the wok to rotate within the cooking cavity, and the stirring drive mechanism drives the stirring rib to rotate within the wok. This cooking robot, through the posture adjustment mechanism driving the wok to rotate within the cooking cavity, can automatically switch between cooking and food dispensing postures, thereby automatically dispensing the food. After dispensing, the wok is rinsed.

[0003] In the aforementioned cooking robot, specifically, the posture adjustment mechanism includes an electric push rod, a turntable, and a connecting rod. The electric push rod is fixed in the main body, the turntable is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of the wok, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod of the electric push rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is circumferentially connected to the turntable. When the telescopic rod of the electric push rod is in its shortest state, the third opening of the wok faces the second opening of the main body; when the telescopic rod of the electric push rod is in its longest state, the third opening of the wok faces the first opening of the main body. Because the posture adjustment mechanism of this cooking robot consists of an electric push rod, a turntable, and a connecting rod, the rotation range of the wok is limited, only allowing the third opening of the wok to change from facing the second opening of the main body to facing the first opening. When the third opening of the wok faces the first opening of the main body, if the inner cavity of the wok is rinsed, the resulting wastewater is easily splashed out from the cooking cavity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic cooking robot in response to the existing technology. When the wok is in the washing station, the third opening of the wok faces downwards. At this time, the wok is washed by the rinsing system. The wastewater after rinsing will hardly splash out of the cooking cavity, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A fully automated cooking robot includes a main body, a wok, a posture adjustment device, and a rinsing system;

[0007] The main body is provided with a cooking cavity, and its front side is provided with a first opening communicating with the cooking cavity, and its upper side is provided with a second opening communicating with the cooking cavity.

[0008] The wok has a cylindrical cavity structure and a third opening on its circumference. The wok is rotatably positioned between the left and right side walls of the cooking cavity in the main body, and its rotation axis coincides with its central axis.

[0009] The attitude adjustment device includes a driver and a synchronous belt drive system. The driver is fixedly mounted on the main body. One synchronous belt pulley of the synchronous belt drive system is connected to the output end of the driver, and the other synchronous belt pulley is connected to the rotating shaft of the wok. The attitude adjustment device is used to drive the wok to rotate and to position the wok in a first, second, and third attitude.

[0010] The rinsing system is used to rinse the inner cavity of the wok when it is in the third position.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes an attitude detection mechanism, which includes a light-shielding plate, a bracket, and a first photoelectric sensor, a second photoelectric sensor, and a third photoelectric sensor. The light-shielding plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the wok, and the bracket is fixed on the main body. The first, second, and third photoelectric sensors are all fixed on the bracket. When the light-shielding plate rotates with the rotating shaft of the wok, it will trigger the first, second, and third photoelectric sensors. When the first, second, and third photoelectric sensors are triggered, the wok's attitude is in the first, second, and third attitudes, respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the attitude detection mechanism also includes a first limit switch and a second limit switch, both of which are fixed on the bracket. When the light-shielding plate rotates with the rotating shaft of the wok, it will trigger the first and second limit switches. In the circumferential direction of the rotation of the light-shielding plate with the rotating shaft of the wok, the first photoelectric sensor is located between the first limit switch and the second photoelectric sensor, and the third photoelectric sensor is located between the second limit switch and the second photoelectric sensor.

[0013] Furthermore, the rinsing system includes a rinsing pipeline, a booster pump, and rinsing nozzles. The booster pump is connected to the rinsing pipeline, and the rinsing nozzles are connected to the end of the rinsing pipeline and arranged at the bottom of the cooking cavity.

[0014] Furthermore, a wastewater tank is provided at the bottom of the cooking cavity, and the rinsing nozzle is installed in the wastewater tank.

[0015] Furthermore, the wastewater tank is equipped with a filter screen, and the rinsing nozzles penetrate the filter screen.

[0016] Furthermore, the wok is provided with a barrier that connects to the edge of the third opening.

[0017] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the first opening, and the distance between the two baffles gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model provides a fully automatic cooking robot. Its driver drives the wok to rotate through a synchronous belt transmission system, so that the wok is in a first posture, a second posture, and a third posture, which are respectively in the cooking station, the food dispensing station, and the wok washing station. In the wok washing station, the third opening of the wok faces downward. At this time, the wok is washed by the rinsing system. The wastewater after rinsing hardly splashes out of the cooking cavity, reducing pollution to the surrounding environment. The design is more reasonable. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a fully automatic cooking robot includes a main body 1, a wok 6, a posture adjustment device, and a rinsing system.

[0030] The main body 1 has a cooking cavity, and its front side has a first opening 101 communicating with the cooking cavity, and its upper side has a second opening 102 communicating with the cooking cavity. The first opening 101 is used to put in ingredients, and the second opening 102 is used as a channel for the plate to enter and exit the cooking cavity.

[0031] Preferably, guide rails 8 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the cooking cavity in the main body 1. The guide rails 8 are used to place the plate into the cooking cavity and support the plate.

[0032] The wok 6 has a cylindrical cavity structure and a third opening 601 on its circumference. The wok 6 is rotatably positioned between the left and right side walls of the cooking cavity in the main body 1, and its axis of rotation coincides with its central axis. When adding ingredients, the third opening 601 is aligned with the first opening 101. When removing food, the wok 6 is rotated so that the third opening 601 is angled downwards.

[0033] Preferably, the wok 6 is provided with a baffle 15 connected to the edge of the third opening 601, which facilitates the feeding of ingredients from the third opening 601 and the unloading of dishes from the third opening 601.

[0034] A further preferred embodiment is that a baffle 10 is provided on each of the front and rear sides of the first opening 102, and the distance between the two baffles 10 gradually decreases from top to bottom. When food is put into the third opening 601, the baffles 10 provided on the front and rear sides of the first opening 102 serve as guides.

[0035] The attitude adjustment device includes a driver 11 and a synchronous belt drive system 12. The driver 11 is fixedly mounted on the main body 1. One synchronous pulley of the synchronous belt drive system 12 is connected to the output end of the driver 11, and the other synchronous pulley is connected to the rotating shaft of the wok 6. The attitude adjustment device is used to drive the wok 6 to rotate and to position the wok 6 in a first, second, and third attitude. Specifically: when the wok 6 is in the first attitude, its third opening 601 faces upward, i.e., the wok 6 is in the cooking position; when the wok 6 is in the third attitude, its third opening 601 faces downward, i.e., the wok 6 is in the washing position; when the wok 6 is in the second attitude, it is between the first and second attitudes, and the rotation angle is greater than 90°, i.e., the wok 6 is in the serving position. In this embodiment, both the driver 11 and the synchronous belt drive system 12 are installed inside the main body 1.

[0036] To accurately control the posture of the wok 6, a posture detection mechanism is also included. The posture detection mechanism includes a light-shielding plate 22, a bracket 21, and a first photoelectric sensor 16, a second photoelectric sensor 17, and a third photoelectric sensor 18. The light-shielding plate 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the wok 6. The bracket 21 is fixed on the main body 1. The first photoelectric sensor 16, the second photoelectric sensor 17, and the third photoelectric sensor 18 are all fixed on the bracket 21. When the light-shielding plate 22 rotates with the rotating shaft of the wok 6, it will trigger the first photoelectric sensor 16, the second photoelectric sensor 17, and the third photoelectric sensor 18 (triggered due to light shading). When the first photoelectric sensor 16, the second photoelectric sensor 17, and the third photoelectric sensor 18 are triggered, the posture of the wok 6 is in the first posture, the second posture, and the third posture, respectively.

[0037] Preferably, the attitude detection mechanism also includes a first limit switch 19 and a second limit switch 20. Both the first limit switch 19 and the second limit switch 20 are fixed on the bracket 21. When the light-shielding plate 22 rotates with the rotating shaft of the wok 6, it will trigger the first limit switch 19 and the second limit switch 20 (triggered by physical contact). In the circumferential direction of the rotation of the light-shielding plate 22 with the rotating shaft of the wok 6, the first photoelectric sensor 16 is located between the first limit switch 19 and the second photoelectric sensor 17, and the third photoelectric sensor 18 is located between the second limit switch 20 and the second photoelectric sensor 17. The first limit switch 19 and the second limit switch 20 are used to control the extreme positions of the rotation of the wok 6, which plays a protective role for the whole machine (when the first limit switch 19 and the second limit switch 20 are triggered, the driver 11 of the attitude adjustment device will automatically cut off the power).

[0038] The rinsing system is used to rinse the inner cavity of the wok 6 when it is in the third position.

[0039] Specifically, the rinsing system includes a rinsing pipeline, a booster pump 13, and a rinsing nozzle 5. The booster pump 13 is connected to the rinsing pipeline, and the rinsing nozzle 5 is connected to the end of the rinsing pipeline and arranged at the bottom of the cooking cavity. In this embodiment, the booster pump 13 is installed inside the main body 1.

[0040] In order to collect the wastewater generated after rinsing the wok 6, a wastewater tank 3 (with a drain pipe) is provided at the bottom of the wok cavity, and the rinsing nozzle 5 is installed in the wastewater tank 3.

[0041] Preferably, the wastewater tank 3 is equipped with a filter screen 4, and the rinsing nozzle 5 passes through the filter screen 4. The filter screen 4 is designed to filter food residue from the wastewater.

[0042] In addition, the cooking robot also includes a control display screen 2, a heating device 7, a stirring rib 9 and a stirring drive device 14, an ingredient dispensing device, and a seasoning dispensing device. The control display screen 2 is used for human-machine interaction; the heating device 7 is used to heat the wok 6; the stirring rib 9 is rotatably mounted inside the wok 6, and its rotation axis coincides with the central axis of the wok 6; the stirring drive device 14 is installed inside the main body 1, and its output end is connected to one end of the stirring rib 9 to drive the stirring rib 9 to rotate inside the wok 6 (when cooking, the stirring rib 9 rotates to stir-fry the ingredients; when washing the wok, the stirring rib 9 rotates to assist in cleaning); the ingredient dispensing device is installed on the main body 1 and sequentially dispenses ingredients into the wok 6 through the second opening 102 and the third opening 601; the seasoning dispensing device is installed in the main body 1 and is used to dispense seasonings into the wok 6.

[0043] In summary, the driver 11 of this utility model drives the wok 6 to rotate through the synchronous belt transmission system 12, so that the wok 6 is in the first posture, the second posture and the third posture, that is, in the cooking position, the serving position and the washing position respectively. In the washing position, the third opening 601 of the wok 6 faces downward. At this time, the wok 6 is washed by the rinsing system. The wastewater after rinsing will hardly splash out from the cooking cavity, reducing the pollution to the surrounding environment. The design is more reasonable.

[0044] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of application of this utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made to the principle of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
