All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an oven with a convenient ingredient pack, including:

[0042] The machine body 1 has a material bag cavity 11 inside. The material bag cavity 11 has a material bag feeding area 111 and a material bag discharging area 112 arranged side by side. A material bag 5 inlet is provided on the side of the machine body 1 near the material bag feeding area 111. A cooking mechanism 12 is provided at the output end of the material bag discharging area 112.

[0043] A seasoning packet holder 3 is slidably disposed between the seasoning packet feeding area 111 and the seasoning packet discharging area 112; when the seasoning packet holder 3 is located in the seasoning packet feeding area 111, it can be used to place a seasoning packet 5 on the seasoning packet holder 3 or to unload an empty seasoning packet 5 from the seasoning packet holder 3; when the seasoning packet holder 3 is located in the seasoning packet discharging area 112, it can be used to convey the material in the seasoning packet 5 on the seasoning packet holder 3 to the cooking mechanism 12; and,

[0044] A material bag door 4 is installed on the machine body 1 and is used to open and close the material bag 5 inlet. The material bag 5 inlet is located on the front side of the machine body 1; the material bag feeding area 111 and the material bag discharging area 112 are arranged side by side. For user convenience, a handle 41 is provided on the material bag door 4.

[0045] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to open and close the material bag door 4 to add material bag 5, the lower end of the material bag door 4 is rotatably connected to the machine body 1, and a switching mechanism is provided between the material bag door 4 and the machine body 1.

[0046] Specifically, the switching mechanism includes:

[0047] A bracket 44 is mounted on the body 1, and the bracket 44 is provided with an arc-shaped guide portion 441, which is specifically an arc-shaped guide hole or an arc-shaped guide groove; and,

[0048] A hinge frame 43 is hinged to the material bag door 4 at one end. The material bag door 4 is provided with a door hook 42, and the hinge frame 43 is hinged to the door hook 42. A tension spring 45 is provided between the other end of the hinge frame 43 away from the material bag door 4 and the machine body 1. The hinge frame 43 is provided with a sliding part 431 that is slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide part 441. The sliding part 431 limits the opening angle of the material bag door 4, for example, to 90 degrees, by cooperating with the arc-shaped guide part 441. When the door is closed, the tension spring 45 provides a force to close the material bag door 4, ensuring that the material bag door 4 is closed in place.

[0049] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in order to improve operational safety, a micro switch 46 is provided at the end of the arc-shaped guide part 441 away from the material bag door 4, and a switch trigger part 432 is provided on the sliding part 431;

[0050] When the material bag door 4 is closed, the switch triggering part 432 triggers the micro switch 46, thereby powering on the machine or performing other operations; when the material bag door 4 is open, the switch triggering part 432 disengages from the micro switch 46, and the mechanism is not powered on, which makes it convenient for the user to place the material bag 5 on the material bag clamping frame 3 and improves the safety during operation.

[0051] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the machine body 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism 2. The output end of the drive mechanism 2 is connected to the material bag clamping frame 3, and the drive mechanism 2 is used to drive the material bag clamping frame 3 to reciprocate between the material bag feeding area 111 and the material bag discharging area 112. Specifically, when the drive mechanism 2 drives the material bag clamping frame 3 to the material bag feeding area 111, the user can place a new material bag 5 on the material bag clamping frame 3, or unload an empty material bag 5. After placing a new material bag 5, the drive mechanism 2 drives the material bag clamping frame 3 to the material bag discharging area 112, thereby facilitating the delivery of the material in the material bag 5 to the cooking mechanism 12. Specifically, the lower end of the material bag 5 is first cut open by a shearing device. The upper end of the cooking mechanism 12 is provided with a material inlet 121, and the material in the material bag 5 enters the cooking chamber through the material inlet 121.

[0052] The drive mechanism 2 includes a drive motor 21 and a lead screw 22. The output shaft of the drive motor 21 is drivenly connected to the lead screw 22, and the material bag clamping frame 3 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 22.

[0053] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the material bag clamping frame 3 is provided with two clamping parts 31. The two clamping parts 31 include a clamping state in which they are close together and used to clamp the material bag 5, and a disengaged state in which they are far apart and detached from the material bag 5. The machine body 1 is provided with a state switching component 32 for driving the two clamping parts 31 to switch between the clamping state and the disengaged state. Specifically, the material bag clamping frame 3 is provided with a connecting rod 33, and the two clamping parts 31 are rotatably mounted on the connecting rod 33. The state switching component 32 drives the two clamping parts 31 to rotate in the direction of closeness to each other, thereby switching the two clamping parts 31 to the clamping state.

[0054] As a specific structure of the state switching component 32, the state switching component 32 includes an electromagnet 321 mounted on the machine body 1 and an iron core 322 slidably mounted on the electromagnet 321. A driving part 323 is provided at the lower end of the iron core 322. The middle part of the clamping part 31 is hinged to the connecting rod 33. The upper part of the clamping part 31 abuts against the driving part 323, and the lower part of the clamping part 31 clamps the upper end of the material bag 5. A spring 324 is provided between the upper ends of the two clamping parts 31. When the electromagnet 321 is energized, the iron core 322 slides downwards, and the driving part 323, by abutting against the upper ends of the two clamping parts 31, drives the two clamping parts 31 to rotate away from each other, thereby switching to the disengaged state. When the electromagnet 321 is not energized, the driving part 323 on the iron core 322 disengages from the two clamping parts 31, and the spring 324 resets, driving the two clamping parts 31 to move closer together, switching to the clamping state.

[0055] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, to facilitate the recycling of empty ingredient packets 5, an empty ingredient packet recycling bin 13 is detachably provided on the lower side of the ingredient packet area 111, and the empty ingredient packet recycling bin 13 is arranged side by side with the cooking mechanism 12. That is, when the ingredient packet holder 3 moves to the ingredient packet area 111, the empty ingredient packet 5 on the ingredient packet holder 3 can be unloaded into the empty ingredient packet recycling bin 13. Specifically, the empty ingredient packet recycling bin 13 can be configured to enter and exit the machine body 1 in a pull-out manner.

[0056] The machine body 1 is equipped with a barcode scanner for scanning the codes on the material bags 5. Specifically, when a new material bag 5 is added to the material bag holder 3, the barcode scanner scans the codes on the material bag 5.

[0057] Working principle explanation:

[0058] When the drive mechanism 2 drives the packet holder 3 to move to the packet feeding area 111, the user opens the packet door 4 and places a new packet 5 on the packet holder 3. The two clamping parts 31 clamp the packet 5. Then the packet door 4 is closed, and the drive mechanism 2 drives the packet holder 3 to move to the packet discharging area 112, so as to facilitate the delivery of the material in the packet 5 to the cooking mechanism 12. When the material in the packet 5 is discharged, the drive mechanism 2 drives the packet holder 3 to move to the packet feeding area 111, the two clamping parts 31 are released, and the empty packet 5 falls into the empty packet recycling bin 13. The user can repeat the above operation by opening the packet door 4.

[0059] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
