Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of kitchen equipment technology, and in particular to a film-tear feeding device and cooking equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more jobs are being replaced by automated equipment and robots. In the catering industry, intelligent cooking machines are widely used due to their advantages of automatic ingredient dispensing and intelligent cooking. However, for ingredients packaged and stored in containers, the presence of sealing films usually requires users to manually tear off the films and pour the contents into the cooking equipment, which affects the automation level of the cooking equipment. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a film-tearing and feeding device and a cooking equipment, which can automatically tear off the sealing film of the material box and automatically feed the ingredients, simplifying manual labor and improving the automation level of the cooking equipment.

[0004] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a film-tearing and feeding device, comprising: a base, the base having a receiving space and a feeding port, the receiving space for accommodating a material box, the material box being movable relative to the base, and the feeding port penetrating the base and located on the moving path of the material box; a film-tearing mechanism, the film-tearing mechanism including a film-tearing state connected to the sealing film on the material box, the relative position of the film-tearing mechanism and the base including a film-hooking position, in the film-tearing state, the film-tearing mechanism is configured from the film-hooking position to move along a first direction to separate the material box from the sealing film, and the food inside the material box falls into the feeding port.

[0005] For example, the angle formed between the first direction and the direction of movement of the hopper ranges from 90° to 270°.

[0006] For example, the angle formed between the first direction and the direction of movement of the hopper ranges from 175° to 185°.

[0007] For example, the film-tearing mechanism includes a movable member and a film-hooking member. The film-hooking member is connected to the movable member and configured to connect with the encapsulation film on the cassette. The movable member is movably connected to the base to drive the film-hooking member to move in a first direction after connecting with the encapsulation film on the cassette.

[0008] For example, when the film-tearing mechanism is in the film-hooking position, the film-hooking component is located below the feeding port, and the height of the top surface of the film-hooking component is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the base.

[0009] For example, the film hook includes a rod rotatably connected to the moving member and a hook located on the rod; in the film hook position, the edge portion of the encapsulation film on the cassette adjacent to the feeding port is exposed to the feeding port, at least a portion of the film hook is located below the feeding port, the film hook is in a first posture, and the hook is configured to connect with the encapsulation film in the film hook position.

[0010] For example, there is at least one hook, which is inclined to the base and located on the side of the rod facing the first direction.

[0011] For example, the relative position between the film-tearing mechanism and the base also includes a film-removal position, whereby the film-tearing mechanism separates from the encapsulation film when it moves from the film-hooking position to the film-removal position along the first direction.

[0012] For example, the film-tearing mechanism includes a movable member and a film-hooking member, the film-hooking member being connected to the movable member and configured to connect with the encapsulation film on the cassette, and the movable member being movably connected to a base to drive the film-hooking member to switch between a film-hooking position and a film-removing position.

[0013] For example, when the film-tearing mechanism is between the film-hooking position and the film-removing position, the film-hooking component is located below the base, and the height of the top surface of the film-hooking component is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the base.

[0014] For example, the film hook includes a rod rotatably connected to the moving member and a hook located on the rod; in the film removal position, the film hook is located outside the feeding port, the film hook is in a second posture, and the hook is configured to be detachable from the connected encapsulation film.

[0015] For example, the base is provided with a reversing structure, which is located between the film hooking position and the film removal position and is disposed outside the feeding port. When the film hooking component moves from the film hooking position to the film removal position, the reversing structure cooperates with the film hooking component to change the film hooking component from the first posture to the second posture. At the film hooking position, the film hooking component is in the first posture. When the film hooking component moves in the opposite direction, passing through the film removal position and moving back to the film hooking position, the reversing structure cooperates with the film hooking component to change the film hooking component from the second posture to the first posture.

[0016] For example, the reversing structure and the feeding port are located at both ends of the accommodating space. The reversing structure includes a limiting port or limiting groove corresponding to the hook. The hook passes through the limiting port or limiting groove to make the hook film member flip relative to the moving member to switch between a first posture and a second posture.

[0017] For example, the hook-and-film assembly further includes an elastic reset member connected to the movable member and the rod portion. The elastic reset member is configured to provide a force to the rod portion to reset the hook-and-film assembly to a first posture and maintain the first posture. In the first posture, the hook portion is located on the side of the rod portion facing the movable member and extends obliquely upward or vertically upward. In the second posture, the hook portion is located on the side of the rod portion away from the movable member and extends obliquely upward or vertically upward.

[0018] For example, the film-tearing and feeding device further includes a mating member configured to provide force to the encapsulation film in the film-hooking position to hold the encapsulation film in a position corresponding to the film-hooking member in the film-hooking position.

[0019] For example, the mating component includes an air conveyor, and the film-tearing and feeding device also includes an air duct connected to the base, with a first port of the air duct communicating with the feeding port and a second port of the air duct configured to communicate with the pot of the cooking device; the air conveyor is disposed on the air duct and / or the base, and the airflow provided by the air conveyor flows from the first port to the second port.

[0020] For example, the film-tearing and feeding device further includes: a first position detection device, disposed on the base and / or the film-tearing mechanism, for detecting the position of the film-tearing mechanism, the first position detection device being configured to send a reversing signal to cause the film-tearing mechanism to switch its movement direction when the film hook reaches a preset position; and a second position detection device, disposed on the base and / or the film-tearing mechanism, for detecting the position of the film-tearing mechanism, the second position detection device being configured to send a position signal to cause the film-tearing mechanism to stop moving when the film-tearing mechanism reaches the film hook position.

[0021] For example, the moving part includes a housing, a drive unit and a gear, the hook-shaped part is rotatably connected to the housing, the drive unit is disposed in the housing, and the gear is poweredly connected to the drive unit; the base is provided with a rack or meshing hole that meshes with the gear along a first direction, and the rack and the base are an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0022] For example, the movable part is located at the bottom of the base, the base plate is provided with a slide rail, and the housing is provided with rollers configured to move along the slide rail.

[0023] For example, the film-tear feeding device further includes: a limiting plate, which is connected to the base and located on the side of the accommodating space near the feeding port, and a passage for the feeding box to pass through is formed between the bottom of the limiting plate and the base; wherein, the height of the accommodating space is greater than the height of the feeding box, and the height of the passage is greater than 1 times the height of the feeding box and less than 2 times the height of the feeding box.

[0024] For example, the limiting plate includes a first plate and a second plate arranged vertically, the first plate being arranged along the height direction of the accommodating space and detachably connected to the base, and the second plate being connected to the bottom of the first plate and extending directly above the feeding port.

[0025] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a cooking device, including: a pot, and a film-tearing and feeding device as described above, wherein the second port of the air duct of the film-tearing and feeding device is configured to communicate with the pot.

[0026] The film-tearing and feeding device and cooking equipment provided in this application embodiment can automatically tear off the packaging film of the material box and automatically feed the ingredients, which simplifies the user's manual operation of tearing off the packaging film and the user's operation of pouring the ingredients from the material box into the cooking equipment. In other words, it simplifies manual labor and improves the automation level of the cooking equipment.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] The accompanying drawings and specific embodiments provide a further detailed description of this application. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0045] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0046] The following reference Figures 1 to 13This application describes a film-tearing and feeding device and a cooking device according to some embodiments. The film-tearing and feeding device is applied to the cooking device, which can be a stir-fry machine, a ingredient dispenser, or other equipment, such as an intelligent stir-fry machine. The film-tearing and feeding device can tear off the sealing film 210 on the ingredient box 200 to dispense the ingredients, and the intelligent stir-fry machine can automatically cook the ingredients.

[0047] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a film-tearing and feeding device, comprising: a base 100, the base 100 having a receiving space 110 and a feeding port 120, the receiving space 110 for receiving a material box 200, the material box 200 being movable relative to the base 100, the feeding port 120 penetrating the base 100 and located on the moving path of the material box 200; and a film-tearing mechanism 300, the film-tearing mechanism 300 including a film-tearing state connected to a sealing film 210 on the material box 200, the relative position of the film-tearing mechanism 300 and the base 100 including a film-hooking position, in the film-tearing state, the film-tearing mechanism 300 is configured from the film-hooking position to move along a first direction to separate the material box 200 from the sealing film 210, and the food inside the material box 200 falls into the feeding port 120.

[0048] The ingredient container 200 is used to hold food ingredients. A sealing film 210 is provided on the ingredient container 200 to seal the food ingredients inside, thus providing good protection. Understandably, the sealing film 210 needs to be separated from the ingredient container 200, such as by tearing off the sealing film 210, before the food ingredients can be added to the ingredient container 200.

[0049] The film-tearing and feeding device provided in this application embodiment, in the film-tearing state, that is, in the state where the film-tearing mechanism 300 is connected to the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200, moves the film-tearing mechanism 300 from the film hook position along the first direction, which will drive the connected encapsulation film 210 to move synchronously with the film-tearing mechanism 300 to pull the encapsulation film 210. Since the encapsulation film 210 is connected to the material box 200, the material box 200 is accommodated in the accommodating space 110 of the base 100 and is movable relative to the base 100. In this way, the encapsulation film 210, which moves with the film-tearing mechanism 300, will provide a force to the material box 200, causing the material box 200 to move relative to the base 100. As a result, the material box 200 and the encapsulation film 210 gradually separate. Since the feeding port 120 is located on the moving path of the material box 200, as the material box 200 gradually separates from the sealing film 210, the food inside the material box 200 will fall into the feeding port 120 under the action of gravity, thus realizing automatic feeding operation. Therefore, the film-tearing feeding device provided in this application embodiment can realize the operation of automatically tearing off the sealing film 210 and automatically feeding, simplifying the operation of manually tearing off the sealing film 210 and the operation of pouring the food from the material box 200 into the cooking equipment, that is, simplifying manual labor operation and improving the automation level of the cooking equipment.

[0050] Furthermore, the first direction, such as Figures 1 to 5 As indicated by arrow Y, the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves along the first direction, which can be understood as the film-tearing mechanism 300 performing linear motion along the first direction. Thus, in the film-tearing state, the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves linearly from the film-hooking position along the first direction, moving and pulling the encapsulation film 210, thereby gradually separating the encapsulation film 210 from the material box 200. Since linear motion has the advantages of simplified structure and improved efficiency compared to rotational motion, the film-tearing mechanism 300 provided in this embodiment has a simple structure, and the film-tearing and feeding device is simple in structure, easy to implement, and has high working efficiency.

[0051] The material box 200 is housed in the accommodating space 110 of the base 100 in an inverted position, that is, the packaging film 210 of the material box 200 in the accommodating space 110 is facing downward. In this way, after the packaging film 210 is separated from the material box 200 by the film tearing mechanism 300, the food in the material box 200 falls into the feeding port 120 under the action of gravity, so as to realize the automatic feeding operation.

[0052] Furthermore, by moving the film-tearing mechanism 300 from the hook position along the first direction, the ingredient box 200 and the sealing film 210 are gradually separated, which facilitates the control of the ingredient box 200 in dispensing ingredients. As the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves along the first direction, the sealing film 210 will drive the ingredient box 200 to move towards the feeding port 120, so that the sealing film 210 and the ingredient box 200 are gradually separated. Thus, the ingredients can be dispensed gradually. Compared with dispensing all the ingredients at once, dispensing the ingredients gradually helps to improve the cooking quality.

[0053] The cooking equipment may include a pot, and the feeding port 120 on the base 100 is connected to the pot. For example, the feeding port 120 on the base 100 and the pot may be directly connected, or the feeding port 120 and the pot may be indirectly connected through a pipe. Thus, the ingredients falling into the feeding port 120 will be fed into the pot to realize automatic feeding operation, which facilitates automatic cooking by the cooking equipment.

[0054] The movement path of the material box 200 may be limited to the accommodating space 110, or it may extend from the accommodating space 110 to the outside of the accommodating space 110. For example, when the material box 200 protrudes outside the accommodating space 110 during movement, the movement path also includes the space where the material box 200 protrudes outside the accommodating space 110.

[0055] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the angle between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 ranges from 90° to 270°. By reasonably setting the range of the angle between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200, the direction of the force provided by the film-tearing mechanism 300 moving along the first direction to pull the encapsulation film 210 in the film-tearing state has a certain angle with the moving direction of the material box 200. This allows the encapsulation film 210 to separate smoothly and quickly from the material box 200, reducing the possibility that the encapsulation film 210 is difficult to separate from the material box 200, improving the smoothness of the film removal and increasing the film removal efficiency.

[0056] Specifically, the angle formed between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 can be 90°, 120°, 150°, 180°, 210°, 240°, 270°, or other angles.

[0057] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the angle formed between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 ranges from 175° to 185°, that is, the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 are approximately opposite and roughly on a straight line. Thus, in the film-tearing state, the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves along the first direction, and the material box 200 moves approximately in the opposite direction of the first direction, so that the direction of the force provided by the film-tearing mechanism 300 to the moving and pulling of the encapsulation film 210 is approximately opposite to the moving direction of the material box 200, with a small angular deviation. Thus, the movement of the film-tearing mechanism 300 is effectively converted into the separation movement of the encapsulation film 210 and the material box 200, improving the effective utilization rate of the movement of the film-tearing mechanism 300. This allows the film-tearing mechanism 300 to move and pull the encapsulation film 210 smoothly, quickly, and efficiently separate the encapsulation film 210 from the material box 200, ensuring good film removal efficiency.

[0058] Specifically, the angle formed between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 can be 175°, 178°, 180°, 183°, 185°, or other angles.

[0059] Furthermore, the angle formed between the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 is 180°, meaning the first direction and the moving direction of the material box 200 are on the same straight line but opposite in direction. This ensures that the direction in which the film-tearing mechanism 300 pulls the moving packaging film 210 is opposite to the moving direction of the material box 200. Therefore, without considering the deformation of the packaging film 210, the distance the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves the packaging film 210 is approximately equal to the distance the packaging film 210 separates from the material box 200. This allows for faster and more efficient separation of the packaging film 210 from the material box 200, further improving the reliability of the separation and increasing the film removal efficiency. The moving direction of the material box 200 is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As indicated by the arrow X in the diagram.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing mechanism 300 includes a moving part 310 and a film-hooking part 320. The film-hooking part 320 is connected to the moving part 310 and configured to connect with the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200. The moving part 310 is movably connected to the base 100 so that the film-hooking part 320 moves in the first direction after connecting with the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200.

[0061] Therefore, at the film hook position, after the film hook 320 is connected to the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200 and is in the film-tearing state, the moving part 310 moves relative to the base 100. Since the film hook 320 is connected to the moving part 310, it can drive the film hook 320 to move along the first direction, so that the film hook 320 drives the connected encapsulation film 210 to move along the first direction. Since the encapsulation film 210 is connected to the material box 200, the moving encapsulation film 210 will provide a force to the material box 200, causing the material box 200 to move relative to the base 100, so that the material box 200 and the encapsulation film 210 gradually separate to realize the film-tearing operation.

[0062] The movable component 310 is movably connected to the base 100, which can be a sliding connection, a rolling connection, a hinge connection, or a connection in other ways.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, when the film-tearing mechanism 300 is in the film-hooking position, the film-hooking member 320 is located below the feeding port 120, and the height of the top surface of the film-hooking member 320 is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the base 100.

[0064] In this case, the encapsulation film 210 encapsulates the material box 200. The encapsulation film 210 of the material box 200 in the accommodating space 110 of the base 100 faces downward. In the free state, the end of the encapsulation film 210 is drooping or in a nearly drooping curved state.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the film-tearing mechanism 300 is in the film-hooking position, the film-hooking component 320 located below the feeding port 120 can be conveniently and smoothly connected to the packaging film 210 of the material box 200 near the feeding port 120, which is hanging down or close to hanging down, so as to improve the reliability and connection efficiency of the connection between the film-hooking component 320 and the packaging film 210.

[0066] At the film hook position, the height of the top surface of the film hook 320 is set to be less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the base 100. This ensures that the film hook 320 is not blocked by the bottom of the base 100 at the film hook position. For example, if the base 100 includes a bottom plate 170 at the bottom, this setting ensures that the film hook 320 will not be blocked by the bottom plate 170 at the film hook position. Thus, when the film hook 320 is connected to the encapsulation film 210, under the drive of the moving member 310, the film hook 320 can move smoothly and flexibly from the bottom of the base 100 along the first direction relative to the base 100, so as to smoothly separate the encapsulation film 210 from the material box 200. This configuration makes reasonable use of the space of the base 100, allowing the material box 200 to be accommodated in the upper accommodating space 110 of the base 100. The film-tearing mechanism moves relative to the base 100 from the bottom of the base 100 to perform the film-tearing operation, making the layout of the film-tearing and feeding device more compact and smaller in size.

[0067] like Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the hook film member 320 includes a rod portion 321 and a hook portion 322 located on the rod portion 321. The rod portion 321 is rotatably connected to the moving member 310, that is, the rod portion 321 rotates relative to the moving member 310, which can drive the hook portion 322 on the rod portion 321 to rotate relative to the base 100 to achieve flipping.

[0068] In the case of the film hook position, the edge portion of the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200 adjacent to the feeding port 120 is exposed to the feeding port 120. At least a portion of the film hook member 320 is located below the feeding port 120. The film hook member 320 is in a first posture. The hook portion 322 is configured to connect with the encapsulation film 210 in the film hook position to realize the connection between the film tearing mechanism 300 and the encapsulation film 210, so that the film tearing mechanism 300 is in the film tearing state.

[0069] In this configuration, at least a portion of the hook-and-loop component 320 is located below the feeding port 120, ensuring that the hook-and-loop component 320 can smoothly and reliably connect with the encapsulation film 210 exposed in the feeding port 120. For example, the hook-and-loop component 320 can smoothly hook onto the encapsulation film 210 of the cassette 200 near the feeding port 120, which may be hanging vertically or nearly hanging vertically. Specifically, the entire hook-and-loop component 320 may be located below the feeding port 120, or only a portion of it may be located below the feeding port 120. More specifically, the hook portion 322 of the hook-and-loop component 320 may be located directly below the feeding port 120.

[0070] Specifically, the hook portion 322 of the first-position film hook member 320 can be inclined or vertically positioned relative to the base 100, or other positions such as electrostatic adsorption that allow the hook portion 322 to connect with the encapsulation film 210. It is understood that any position that allows the hook portion 322 to connect with the encapsulation film 210 in the film hook position can be understood as being within the scope of protection of this application.

[0071] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, there is at least one hook 322, such as one, two, three, four, or other numbers of hooks 322. It is understood that the more hooks 322 there are, the more reliable the connection between the hooks 322 and the encapsulation film 210, but the higher the cost of the film-tearing mechanism 300. It is understood that the number of hooks 322 can be reasonably set according to the size and position of the hooks 322 and the material properties of the encapsulation film 210. Figure 7 As shown, there are 3 hooks 322.

[0072] Among them, such as Figure 3As shown, in the hook position, the hook member 320 is in a first posture, with the hook portion 322 inclined relative to the base 100 and located on the side of the rod portion 321 facing the first direction. That is, the hook portion 322 is inclined relative to the base 100 and located on the side of the rod portion 321 facing the moving member 310. Figure 3 On the side of the rod 321 facing arrow Y, the contact area between the hook 322 and the encapsulation film 210 in the hook position can be increased, thereby improving the convenience and reliability of the connection between the hook 322 and the encapsulation film 210 in the hook position, improving the hooking efficiency, and providing a basis for subsequent film tearing operations.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the relative positions of the film-tearing mechanism 300 and the base 100 also include a film-removal position. When the film-tearing mechanism 300 moves from the film-hooking position to the film-removal position along the first direction, the film-tearing mechanism 300 separates from the packaging film 210. This causes the packaging film 210, which is separated from the material box 200, to also separate from the film-tearing mechanism 300. The packaging film 210, separated from both the material box 200 and the film-tearing mechanism 300, will fall freely under gravity, thus achieving automatic film removal of the packaging film 210 and further improving the automation level of the film-tearing and feeding device. Simultaneously, after the film removal operation, the film-tearing mechanism 300 is not connected to the packaging film 210, facilitating the film-tearing mechanism 300 to move again and connect with the packaging film 210 for film-tearing and film-removal operations. This allows the film-tearing mechanism 300 to be reused for film-tearing and film-removal operations on different material boxes 200, improving the automation level of the film-tearing and feeding device and increasing user satisfaction.

[0074] The detachment position and the hooking position are located at different positions on the base 100.

[0075] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing mechanism 300 includes a moving part 310 and a film-hooking part 320. The film-hooking part 320 is connected to the moving part 310 and configured to be connected to the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200. The moving part 310 is movably connected to the base 100 to drive the film-hooking part 320 to switch between the film-hooking position and the film-removing position.

[0076] Therefore, at the film hook position, after the film hook 320 is connected to the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200 and is in the film-tearing state, the moving part 310 moves relative to the base 100, driving the film hook 320 to move along the first direction. This causes the film hook 320 to move the connected encapsulation film 210 along the first direction, and the material box 200 and the encapsulation film 210 gradually separate to achieve the film-tearing operation. When the film hook 320 moves to the film removal position, the film-tearing mechanism 300 separates from the encapsulation film 210, and the encapsulation film 210 automatically falls under the action of gravity to achieve the film removal operation. At this time, there is no encapsulation film 210 connected to the film-tearing mechanism 300. By moving the moving part 310 relative to the base 100, the film hook 320 is moved from the film removal position back to the film hook position, so that the film hook 320 can reconnect with the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200 near the feeding port 120 and be in the film-tearing state again. This cycle repeats to enable the film-tearing mechanism 300 to perform film-tearing and untearing operations on multiple material boxes 200. The structure is simple and easy to operate, further improving the automation level of the film-tearing and feeding device and the automation level of the cooking equipment.

[0077] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, when the film-tearing mechanism 300 is between the film-hooking position and the film-removing position, the film-hooking member 320 is located below the base 100, and the height of the top surface of the film-hooking member 320 is less than or equal to the height of the bottom surface of the base 100.

[0078] Thus, driven by the moving part 310, the film hooking part 320 can move relative to the base 100 along the first direction from the bottom of the base 100 to switch between the film hooking position and the film removal position. This arrangement can make reasonable use of the space of the base 100, so that the material box 200 is accommodated in the accommodating space 110 on the upper part of the base 100, and the film tearing mechanism 300 moves relative to the base 100 from the bottom of the base 100 to realize the film tearing operation, making the layout of the film tearing and feeding device more compact and smaller in size.

[0079] At the same time, this configuration facilitates the smooth cooperation between the film hooking component 320 and the reversing structure 130 mentioned later, so as to ensure that the film hooking component 320 can smoothly adjust its posture and ensure that the film tearing mechanism 300 can smoothly switch between the film hooking position and the film removal position.

[0080] like Figure 7As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the hook-shaped member 320 includes a rod portion 321 and a hook portion 322 located on the rod portion 321. The rod portion 321 is rotatably connected to the moving member 310, that is, the rod portion 321 rotates relative to the moving member 310, which can drive the hook portion 322 on the rod portion 321 to flip relative to the base 100. In the demolding position, the hook-shaped member 320 is located outside the feeding port 120, and the hook-shaped member 320 is in a second posture. The hook portion 322 is configured to be able to separate from the connected encapsulation film 210, thereby separating the encapsulation film 210, which is separated from the material box 200, from the hook portion 322, so as to realize the demolding operation of the encapsulation film 210. The structure is simple and the operation is simple.

[0081] During the film-tearing process, the film hook 320 is located outside the feeding port 120, ensuring that it does not obstruct the food from falling smoothly into the feeding port 120, thus ensuring smooth feeding. Simultaneously, the location of the film hook 320 outside the feeding port 120 allows it to move a certain distance from the hook position to the unwrapping position. This distance ensures that the packaging film 210 is completely separated from the food box 200, allowing the food in the food box 200 to fall into the feeding port 120 thoroughly and smoothly. Furthermore, it ensures that after the packaging film 210 separates from the hook 322, the packaging film 210 can be unwrapped under gravity.

[0082] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the base 100 is provided with a reversing structure 130. The reversing structure 130 is located between the hooking position and the unhooking position and is disposed outside the feeding port 120. When the hooking member 320 moves from the hooking position to the unhooking position, the reversing structure 130 cooperates with the hooking member 320 to change the hooking member 320 from the first posture to the second posture. At the hooking position, the hooking member 320 is in the first posture. When the hooking member 320 moves in the opposite direction, passing through the unhooking position and moving back to the hooking position, the reversing structure 130 cooperates with the hooking member 320 to change the hooking member 320 from the second posture to the first posture.

[0083] In this embodiment, at the film-hooking position, the film-hooking component 320 is in a first posture to ensure that it can smoothly connect with the packaging film 210 of the material box 200 at the film-hooking position. At the film-removal position, the film-hooking component 320 is in a second posture to ensure that it can smoothly separate from the packaging film 210. That is, the film-hooking component 320 is in different postures at the film-hooking position and the film-removal position. Therefore, in this embodiment, by providing a reversing structure 130 on the base 100, the reversing structure 130 is located between the film-hooking position and the film-removal position. During the switching process between the reversing position and the film-removal position, the film-hooking component 320 passes through the reversing structure 130. Through the cooperation of the reversing structure 130 and the film-hooking component 320, the switching of the film-hooking component 320 between the first posture and the second posture is realized, thereby adjusting the posture of the film-hooking component 320 so that the adjusted posture matches the upcoming film-hooking position or film-removal position.

[0084] Specifically, when the hook-and-loop component 320 moves from the hook-and-loop position to the unhooking position along the first direction and passes through the reversing structure 130, the reversing structure 130 cooperates with the hook-and-loop component 320 to change the hook-and-loop component 320 from the first posture to the second posture, ensuring that when it reaches the unhooking position, the hook-and-loop component 320 is in the second posture and can be smoothly separated from the encapsulation film 210. When the hook-and-loop component 320 moves in the opposite direction from the unhooking position to the hook-and-loop position, that is, when it moves along the second direction from the unhooking position to the hook-and-loop position and passes through the reversing structure 130, the reversing structure 130 cooperates with the hook-and-loop component 320 to change the hook-and-loop component 320 from the second posture to the first posture, ensuring that when it reaches the hook-and-loop position, the hook-and-loop component 320 is in the first posture and can be smoothly connected to the encapsulation film 210 on the material box 200 near the feeding port 120. The second direction is opposite to the first direction, as shown in the diagram. Figures 1 to 5 As indicated by the arrow X in the diagram.

[0085] like Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the reversing structure 130 and the feeding port 120 are located at both ends of the accommodating space 110 to ensure that the reversing structure 130 is located outside the feeding port 120. The reversing structure 130 includes a limiting port or limiting groove corresponding to the hook portion 322. The hook portion 322 passes through the limiting port or limiting groove to make the hook film member 320 flip relative to the moving member 310 to switch between a first posture and a second posture.

[0086] Specifically, the base 100 may include a bottom plate 170 located at the bottom, on which an accommodating space 110 and a feeding port 120 are provided. The bottom plate 170 is also provided with a limiting port or limiting groove serving as a reversing structure 130, such as... Figure 5As shown, during the process of the hook 322 passing through the limiting port or limiting groove, that is, during the process of the hook 322 inserting into the limiting port or limiting groove and disengaging from the limiting port or limiting groove, the film-hooking component 320 will rotate relative to the moving component 310 to achieve the switching of the film-hooking component 320 between the first posture and the second posture. This arrangement allows the limiting port or limiting groove to cooperate with the hook 322 on the rod 321 rotatably connected to the moving component 310, so that the rod 321 can be rotated to achieve the switching of the film-hooking component 320 between the first posture and the second posture. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost. Moreover, the structure of the limiting port or limiting groove is relatively simple, convenient to process, and easy to implement, which can meet the design requirements of the film-tearing mechanism 300 to be compact and small in size, and can save manufacturing costs.

[0087] Specifically, the limiting port can be understood as the bottom plate 170 that penetrates the base 100, and the limiting groove can be understood as the bottom plate 170 that does not penetrate the base 100, wherein the opening of the limiting groove faces downward.

[0088] like Figure 7 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the hook film component 320 further includes an elastic reset component 330. The elastic reset component 330 connects the moving component 310 and the rod portion 321. The elastic reset component 330 is configured to provide a force to the rod portion 321 to reset the hook film component 320 to a first posture and maintain the first posture. The provision of the elastic reset component 330 enables the hook film component 320 to reset from a second posture to a first posture and maintain the first posture without the action of external force, so as to ensure that the hook film component 320 in the first posture can be smoothly connected to the sealing film 210 of the material box 200 at the hook film position.

[0089] Specifically, at the film hooking position, the film hook 320 is in a first posture, and the encapsulation film 210 of the material box 200 near the feeding port 120 is in a drooping or nearly drooping curved state, almost touching the end of the base 100, to facilitate connection with the film hook 320 in the first posture. Before the film hook 320 hooks the encapsulation film 210, the height of the film hook 320 is equal to or lower than the height of the bottom of the base 100, which ensures that the film hook 320 will not be blocked by the bottom plate 170 of the base 100 during the film hooking stage. After the hook film 320 hooks the encapsulation film 210, the moving part 310 drives the hook film 320 to move along the first direction to pull and tear the film. At the same time, the encapsulation film 210 also exerts a reaction force on the hook film 320 in the opposite direction of the tearing direction, that is, a reaction force opposite to the first direction. Thus, during the process of the hook film 320 moving from the hook position to the unwrap position, the top of the hook film 320 (such as the hook part 322) can abut against the sheet metal surface of the base plate 170 of the base 100. When it moves to the limiting port or limiting groove, the hook part 322 of the hook film 320 can smoothly extend into the limiting port or limiting groove. As the moving part 310 drives the hook film 320 to continue moving, the hook film 320 is flipped by the limiting port or limiting groove, so that the hook film 320 flips from the first posture to the second posture, and the hook film 320 separates from the connected encapsulation film 210, realizing the unwrap operation. It should be noted that before the film hook 320 hooks the encapsulation film 210, if the height of the film hook 320 is lower than the height of the bottom of the base 100, due to the reaction force of the encapsulation film 210 on the film hook 320, during the process of the film hook 320 moving from the film hook position to the film removal position, the film hook 320 can rotate clockwise by a certain angle, thereby achieving contact with the sheet metal surface of the base plate 170 of the base 100.

[0090] When the moving part 310 drives the hook film part 320 to move in the opposite direction from the demolding position to the hook film position, if the moving part 310 drives the hook film part 320 to move in the second direction from the demolding position to the hook film position, when it moves to the limiting port or limiting groove, the hook part 322 of the hook film part 320 smoothly extends into the limiting port or limiting groove again to achieve flipping. For example, the hook part 322 of the hook film part 320 flips 180°, 170°, 160°, 150°, 140°, 130°, 120°, 110°, 100°, 90° or other angles. At the same time, with the cooperation of the elastic reset part 330, the hook film part 320 flips from the second posture to the first posture and stays in the first posture. In this way, when the hook film part 320 moves to the hook film position, it can smoothly connect with the sealing film 210 on the material box 200 near the feeding port 120 of the hook film position again.

[0091] Furthermore, the position of the film-tearing mechanism 300 relative to the base 100 may also include a reversing position. The moving member 310 moves linearly relative to the base 100 along the first direction, driving the film-hooking member 320 in the film-hooking position to reach the reversing position after passing through the film-removing position. The moving member 310 moves along the second direction, driving the film-hooking member 320 in the reversing position to reach the film-hooking position after passing through the film-removing position. The second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0092] Specifically, the elastic reset member 330 may include at least one of a torsion spring, a spring, a tension spring, and a spring sheet.

[0093] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the first posture, the hook 322 is located on the side of the rod 321 facing the moving member 310 and extends obliquely upward or vertically upward. This increases the contact area between the hook 322 and the encapsulation film 210 in the hook position, improves the reliability and smoothness of the connection between the hook 322 and the encapsulation film 210 in the hook position, and provides a basis for subsequent film tearing operations.

[0094] In the second posture, the hook 322 is located on the side of the rod 321 away from the moving member 310 and extends obliquely upward or vertically upward, thereby enabling the encapsulation film 210 connected to the hook 322 to detach smoothly from the hook 322 to achieve the unwrapping operation.

[0095] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing and feeding device further includes a mating member configured to provide force to the packaging film 210 in the hook position, so that the packaging film 210 is held in a position corresponding to the hooking member 320 in the hook position. Thus, the mating member allows the packaging film 210 in the hook position to smoothly and reliably contact the hooking member 320 in the hook position, enabling the hooking member 320 to smoothly connect with the packaging film 210. For example, if the hooking member 320 can smoothly and reliably hook the film, automatic hooking operation of the packaging film 210 is achieved, improving the automation level of the film-tearing and feeding device and the automation level of the cooking equipment.

[0096] Among them, the mating parts can be fans, electrostatic generators, suction components, etc.

[0097] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the mating component includes an airflow conveyor 500, and the film-tearing and feeding device also includes an air duct 400 connected to the base 100. The first port 410 of the air duct 400 is connected to the feeding port 120, and the second port 420 of the air duct 400 is configured to be connected to the pot of the cooking device. The airflow conveyor 500 is disposed in the air duct 400 and / or the base 100, and the airflow provided by the airflow conveyor 500 flows from the first port 410 to the second port 420.

[0098] The pneumatic conveying component 500 may include a fan, a suction component, or other pneumatic conveying mechanism. The pneumatic conveying component 500 can provide a force to the encapsulation film 210 in the hook position so that the encapsulation film 210 is held in the corresponding position to the hook member 320 in the hook position.

[0099] Specifically, taking the air conveyor 500 as a fan as an example, when both the film hooking component 320 and the material box 200 are in the film hooking position, the fan is started. The air generated by the fan blows away the air in the air duct 400. When the external air flows into the space of the air duct 400, it will bring the sealing film 210 of the material box 200 into the air duct 400, so that the sealing film 210 is kept at the position of the film hooking component 320 in the film hooking position. If the sealing film 210 falls into the position of the film hooking component 320, the sealing film 210 is connected to the film hooking component 320. If the sealing film 210 and the hook part 322 of the film hooking component 320 are hooked, the film hooking operation can be assisted.

[0100] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first port 410 of the air duct 400 is connected to the feeding port 120, and the second port 420 of the air duct 400 is configured to be connected to the pot of the cooking equipment. When the sealing film 210 is separated from the material box 200 under the action of the film tearing mechanism 300, the food in the material box 200 falls into the feeding port 120. The airflow provided by the air conveying component 500 flows from the first port 410 to the second port 420, so that the food falling into the feeding port 120 is fed into the pot from the second port 420 along the air duct 400, so as to realize the automatic feeding of food.

[0101] In other words, in this embodiment, the mating component is set as an air conveyor 500, which enables the air conveyor 500 to provide force to the packaging film 210 at the hook position to achieve automatic connection between the packaging film 210 and the hook component 320. It also enables the food falling into the feeding port 120 to be fed into the pot through the air duct 400 to achieve auxiliary feeding operation. Thus, the air conveyor 500 achieves diversified functions, which is conducive to simplifying the structure, meeting the design requirements of compact structure and small size of the film tearing and feeding device, and saving manufacturing costs.

[0102] The airflow conveying component 500 can be disposed in the air duct 400 and connected to the air duct 400, or the airflow conveying component 500 can be disposed in the base 100 and connected to the base 100, or the airflow conveying component 500 can be disposed in both the air duct 400 and the base 100 and connected to both the air duct 400 and the base 100.

[0103] The shape of the air duct 400 can be adjusted and adapted according to the assembly position and specific structure of the film-tearing feeding device and the cooking equipment. That is, the shape of the air duct 400 is not specifically limited in this embodiment, as long as it meets the aforementioned functions.

[0104] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing and feeding device further includes: a first position detection device, which is disposed on the base 100 and / or the film-tearing mechanism 300, for detecting the position of the film-tearing mechanism 300. The first position detection device is configured to send a reversing signal to cause the film-tearing mechanism 300 to switch its movement direction when the film hook 320 reaches a preset position.

[0105] The preset position can be understood as the reversing position of the film-tearing mechanism 300. The preset position and the film-hooking position are located on opposite sides of the film-removing position. When the film-hooking component 320 reaches the preset position, it means that the film-tearing mechanism 300 has moved from the film-hooking position through the film-removing position to the preset position along the first direction. At this time, the film-hooking component 320 has completed the film-removing operation and can return to the film-hooking position to perform the film-hooking operation again. Therefore, when the film-hooking component 320 reaches the preset position, the first position detection device sends a reversing signal to switch the movement direction of the film-tearing mechanism 300, so that the film-hooking component 320 can move in the opposite direction, pass through the film-removing position, and return to the film-hooking position to perform the film-hooking operation again. This ensures that the film-tearing mechanism 300 can work cyclically to perform film-tearing and film-removing operations on different material boxes 200.

[0106] The first position detection device can be mounted on the base 100, or on the film-tearing mechanism 300, or simultaneously on both the base 100 and the film-tearing mechanism 300, to meet different types of requirements for the first position detection device. Specifically, the first position detection device can be a mechanical position switch, a photoelectric switch, etc.

[0107] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing and feeding device further includes: a second position detection device, disposed on the base 100 and / or the film-tearing mechanism 300, for detecting the position of the film-tearing mechanism 300, the second position detection device being configured to send a position signal to stop the film-tearing mechanism 300 when the film-tearing mechanism 300 reaches the film-hooking position.

[0108] Whether the film hook component 320 is accurately positioned at the film hook location has a certain impact on the accuracy, smoothness, and reliability of the connection between the film hook component 320 and the encapsulation film 210 at the film hook location. Therefore, the position of the film tearing mechanism 300 is detected by the second position detection device. When the film tearing mechanism 300 reaches the film hook location, if the film hook component 320 moves in the reverse direction past the film removal position and reaches the film hook location, the second position detection device sends a position signal to stop the film tearing mechanism 300. This ensures that the film tearing mechanism 300 can accurately stop at the film hook location, ensuring the accurate relative position of the film hook component 320 and the encapsulation film 210 at the film hook location, thereby improving the accuracy, reliability, and smoothness of the connection between the film hook component 320 and the encapsulation film 210 at the film hook location.

[0109] The second position detection device can be mounted on the base 100, or on the film-tearing mechanism 300, or simultaneously on both the base 100 and the film-tearing mechanism 300, to meet the different needs of the first position detection device. Specifically, the second position detection device can be a mechanical position switch, a photoelectric switch, etc.

[0110] like Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the moving member 310 includes a housing 311, a driving unit, and a gear 312. The film hook member 320 is rotatably connected to the housing 311. The driving unit is disposed on the housing 311, and the gear 312 is poweredly connected to the driving unit. The base 100 is provided with a rack or meshing hole 140 along a first direction that meshes with the gear 312. Thus, the driving unit drives the gear 312 to rotate, and the gear 312 moves relative to the meshing rack or meshing hole 140, thereby causing the housing 311 to move linearly relative to the base 100. This achieves linear movement of the moving member 310 relative to the housing 311. This configuration is simple in structure and small in size, meeting the design requirements of a compact structure and small size for the film-tearing and feeding device. At the same time, the gear 312 rack mechanism has high transmission accuracy, which is beneficial to improving the film-tearing efficiency.

[0111] The rack and base 100 can be an integral structure, which simplifies the assembly operation of the rack and base 100, improves the reliability of the connection between the rack and base 100, and helps to simplify the structure and save costs.

[0112] The rack and base 100 can be separate structures, which allows the rack and base 100 to be disassembled and separated for maintenance and replacement, thus saving maintenance and replacement costs.

[0113] The meshing hole 140 is provided on the base 100. For example, if the meshing hole 140 is opened on the bottom plate 170 of the base 100 along the first direction, the rack can be simplified, the function of the bottom plate 170 of the base 100 can be diversified, and the structure can be simplified and the cost can be saved.

[0114] The drive unit can drive the gear 312 to rotate forward and reverse, so that the moving member 310 can reciprocate linearly along the first direction and the second direction relative to the base 100.

[0115] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the movable member 310 is located at the bottom of the base 100, the base plate 170 of the base 100 is provided with a slide rail 150, and the housing 311 is provided with a roller 313. The roller 313 is configured to move along the slide rail 150. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 150 and the roller 313, the relative movement of the movable member 310 and the base 100 is well guided, which is beneficial to improving the relative movement accuracy of the movable member 310 and the base 100.

[0116] In other words, the movable component 310 can be suspended at the bottom of the base 100 by the slide rail and roller structure, so that the movable component 310 can be understood as a suspended track trolley. It can be understood that the movable component 310 can also be other moving mechanisms that meet the requirements, and the movable component 310 can also be suspended at the bottom of the base 100 in other ways.

[0117] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the slide rail 150 and the base plate 170 can be an integral structure, such as the slide rail 150 being integrally formed at the end or bottom of the base plate 170, which simplifies the assembly steps of the slide rail 150 and the base plate 170 and helps to save costs. Alternatively, the slide rail 150 and the base plate 170 can be a separate structure, so that the slide rail 150 and the base plate 170 can be disassembled and separated for maintenance and replacement.

[0118] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the number of rollers 313 can be one, two, three, or other numbers. The number of slide rails 150 can be one, two, or more. Among them, the number of rollers 313 that move along the same slide rail 150 can be one, two, three, or other numbers.

[0119] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 , Figure 13As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the film-tearing feeding device further includes: a limiting plate 600, which is connected to the base 100 and located on the side of the accommodating space 110 near the feeding port 120. An opening 630 for the feeding box 200 to pass through is formed between the bottom of the limiting plate 600 and the base 100.

[0120] The height of the accommodating space 110 is greater than the height of the material box 200, so that the accommodating space 110 can accommodate at least one row of material boxes 200. For example, the accommodating space 110 can accommodate one row, two rows, three rows, or other rows of material boxes 200. At least two rows of material boxes 200 are arranged in a vertical direction. The material box 200 located at the bottom of the accommodating space 110 can be understood as the first row of material boxes 200.

[0121] The height of the opening 630 is greater than 1 times the height of the material box 200 but less than 2 times the height of the material box 200. This allows the limiting plate 600 to effectively limit the material boxes 200 above the first row, ensuring that only the first row of material boxes 200 at the bottom can smoothly move from the accommodating space 110 to the feeding port 120 through the opening 630. This ensures the smoothness of the film tearing operation, film removal operation, and feeding operation, and improves the film tearing efficiency and feeding efficiency.

[0122] Furthermore, multiple material boxes 200 can be stacked vertically within the accommodating space 110. The first row of material boxes 200 at the bottom is located near the feeding port 120, i.e., at the film hooking position. At least a portion of the encapsulation film 210 of the first row of material boxes 200 at the bottom is exposed in the feeding port 120 and can be connected to the film tearing mechanism 300 at the film hooking position. When the film tearing mechanism 300 moves along the first direction, it causes the end of the encapsulation film 210 to move in the first direction. Under the action of the encapsulation film 210, the first row of material boxes 200 moves through the through-hole 630 towards the feeding port 120, so that the first row of material boxes 200 gradually protrudes outside the accommodating space 110 and eventually all of them are located outside the accommodating space 110. At this time, the second row of material boxes 200, which was originally stacked above the first row of material boxes 200, will fall into the bottom of the accommodating space 110 under the action of gravity, becoming a new first row of material boxes 200 located at the bottom. The original first row of ingredient boxes 200, located outside the accommodating space 110, will separate from the sealing film 210, allowing the ingredients in the ingredient boxes 200 to fall into the feeding port 120 for feeding. The new first row of ingredient boxes 200 is located near the feeding port 120 and can be connected to the film-tearing mechanism 300 at the film hook position to perform film-tearing operations, feeding operations, etc. This cycle continues, and the film-tearing mechanism 300 can sequentially perform film-tearing and feeding operations on multiple rows of ingredient boxes 200 stacked in the accommodating space 110 to meet the feeding operation of different ingredients in the cooking equipment. It has a wide range of applications and improves the automation level of the cooking equipment.

[0123] In other words, by using the limiting plate 600 and the accommodating space 110, this application can automatically connect the upper stacked material box 200 to the vicinity of the feeding port 120, thereby realizing the automatic feeding operation of the upper stacked material box 200, simplifying manual operation, further improving the automation level of the cooking equipment, and increasing user satisfaction.

[0124] Specifically, such as Figure 6 , Figure 8 , Figure 12 As shown, the base 100 also includes a side plate 180 and a connecting frame 190 located above the base plate 170. The two side plates 180 are arranged opposite to each other. The first end of the side plate 180 is connected to the base plate 170, and the second end of the side plate 180 is connected through the connecting frame 190, so that the side plate 180 can be reliably and stably supported or connected to the base plate 170. At the same time, part of the base plate 170, the side plate 180, and the connecting frame 190 enclose a receiving space 110.

[0125] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the limiting plate 600 includes a first plate 610 and a second plate 620 arranged vertically. The first plate 610 is arranged along the height direction of the accommodating space 110 and is detachably connected to the base 100. The second plate 620 is connected to the bottom of the first plate 610 and extends to the top of the feeding port 120.

[0126] The first plate 610 is detachably connected to the base 100, enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the limiting plate 600 and the base 100. This design is simple and convenient. For example, the side plate 180 has a slot 160 facing the feeding port 120. The first plate 610 engages with the slot 160. Inserting the first plate 610 into the slot 160 connects the limiting plate 600 and the side plate 180; disengaging the first plate 610 from the slot 160 separates the limiting plate 600 from the side plate 180. This design is simple and easy to operate.

[0127] The second plate 620 is connected to the bottom of the first plate 610 and extends directly above the feeding port 120. This allows the second plate 620 to effectively limit and guide the material box 200 as it passes through the feeding port 120, enabling the material box 200 to move smoothly relative to the base plate 170. Furthermore, the vertical movement space of the material box 200 relative to the base plate 170 at the feeding port 120 is small, preventing the material box 200 from flipping upwards and causing the food inside to detach from the feeding port 120 due to a large vertical movement space between the material box 200 and the base plate 170. This improves the reliability and thoroughness of feeding the material box 200 and ensures good feeding accuracy.

[0128] Specifically, the first plate 610 and the second plate 620 can be an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0129] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the base 100 also includes a support frame 1901, which is connected to the bottom of the base 100. For example, the support member is connected to the bottom of the base plate 170, so that there is a certain distance between the bottom of the base plate 170 and the working surface or ground, thereby increasing the movement space of the film tearing mechanism 300 located at the bottom of the base plate 170.

[0130] Specifically, the number of support frames 1901 can be one, two, three, or other numbers. Multiple support frames 1901 can improve the stability of the support for the base plate 170, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the film-tearing and feeding mechanism.

[0131] An embodiment of the second aspect of this application provides a cooking device, including: a pot, and a film-tearing and feeding device of any of the foregoing embodiments, wherein the second port 420 of the air duct 400 of the film-tearing and feeding device is configured to communicate with the pot. Since the cooking device includes the film-tearing and feeding device of any of the foregoing embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the aforementioned film-tearing and feeding devices, which will not be described in detail here.

[0132] It is understandable that the cookware and the second port 420 can be directly connected, or the cookware and the second port 420 can be indirectly connected through pipes or other means.
