[0046] Cooking mechanism 2, comprising a first cooking component 21 fixedly mounted on the body 1 and a second cooking component 22 rotatably mounted on the body 1, wherein the first cooking component 21 and the second cooking component 22 form a cooking cavity 23, specifically, in the closed state, the two components form the cooking cavity 23; the second cooking component 22 includes a closed state and an open state relative to the first cooking component 21; and,

[0047] A drive mechanism 3 is disposed on the body 1 and is used to drive the first cooking component 21 to switch between a closed state and an open state.

[0048] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, in order to facilitate user operation, the machine body 1 is provided with a material inlet 212 for adding materials into the cooking cavity 23. The material inlet 212 is located on the upper side of the cooking cavity 23. In specific use, the user can add batter or other materials into the cooking cavity 23 through the material inlet 212 to make waffles and other types of cakes.

[0049] To further facilitate user operation, a material inlet 212 is provided with a material packet placement cavity 5 on its upper side. When making waffles, the user can add the material packet 51, which is pre-filled with batter, into the material packet placement cavity 5. Then, an opening is cut in the material packet 51 so that the batter inside the material packet 51 can flow into the material inlet 212 through the cut opening. By using the pre-filled material packet 51 to produce waffles and other types of cakes, the user no longer needs to manually make the batter, thus saving the user's cooking time. Placing the material packet 51 in the material packet placement cavity 5 positions the material packet 51 and prevents it from shifting, thus facilitating the user's operations such as cutting an opening in the material packet 51.

[0050] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the upper side of the first cooking component 21 is provided with a conveying pipe extending from top to bottom, the material inlet 212 is located at the upper end of the conveying pipe, and the lower end of the conveying pipe is connected to the cooking chamber 23.

[0051] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the body 1 is provided with a hinge seat 11, and the second cooking component 22 is provided with a rotating part 221. The hinge seat 11 and the rotating part 221 are rotatably connected. Specifically, the body 1 is provided with two hinge seats 11 on the left and right, and the second cooking component 22 is provided with two rotating parts 221 on the left and right. The two rotating parts 221 are rotatably connected to the two hinge seats 11 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0052] The drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 31 located on the right side of the second cooking component 22, and the output shaft of the motor 31 is drivenly connected to the rotating part 221 located on the right side. The motor 31 drives the rotating part 221 to rotate, thereby driving the second cooking component 22 to rotate relative to the body 1, switching it between a closed state and an open state.

[0053] In order to facilitate the automatic switching of the motor 31, the rotating part 221 is provided with a first switch trigger part 221a, and the body 1 is provided with a first micro switch 32 and a second micro switch 33 arranged circumferentially around the rotating part 221.

When the first switch triggering part 221a triggers the first micro switch 32, the motor 31 stops.

[0055] When the second cooking component 22 switches from the open state to the closed state, the motor 31 drives the rotating part 221 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the hinge seat 11, and causes the second cooking component 22 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the body 1. When the first switch trigger part 221a triggers the second micro switch 33, the motor 31 stops. This achieves automatic switching of the second cooking component 22 to the closed or open state without manual operation by the user, thus enhancing safety.

[0056] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the user to take out the cooked food, the lower end of the second cooking component 22 is rotatably connected to the body 1; when the second cooking component 22 switches from the closed state to the open state, the drive mechanism 3 drives the second cooking component 22 to rotate and open towards the front of the body 1.

[0057] In some specific implementations, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, to further isolate the cooking mechanism 2 and prevent scalding of the user, the body 1 is provided with a door 12, which is rotatably connected to the door hinge 121, and the door 12 is located on the front side of the second cooking component 22. The door 12 is provided with a handle 122 to facilitate the user in opening the door 12.

[0058] To further facilitate user operation, the front of the second cooking component 22 is provided with an abutment part 24 for abutting against the door 12. When the second cooking component 22 switches from the closed state to the open state, the drive mechanism 3 drives the second cooking component 22 to rotate toward the front of the body 1. The second cooking component 22 abuts against the door 12 through the abutment part 24, driving the door 12 to rotate and open toward the front of the body 1, so that the second cooking component 22 and the door 12 open synchronously without the need for manual operation by the user.

[0059] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a door closing mechanism 4 is provided between the door body 12 and the machine body 1. The door closing mechanism 4 includes:

[0060] A connecting frame 41 is provided, one end of which is hinged to the door body 12, and the other end of which is provided with a tension spring 43 between it and the machine body 1. A second switch trigger part 411 is provided on the connecting frame 41. Specifically, a door hook 123 is provided on the door body 12, and the door hook 123 is hinged to the connecting frame 41.

[0061] An arc-shaped guide portion 42 is disposed on the body 1, and the second switch trigger portion 411 is slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide portion 42; specifically, the arc-shaped guide portion 42 may be configured as an arc-shaped guide hole, and the second switch trigger portion 411 is slidably disposed within the arc-shaped guide hole; and,

[0062] The third micro switch 44 is disposed on the body 1; and when the door 12 is closed, the second switch triggering part 411 triggers the third micro switch 44 to realize power supply when the door is closed; when the door 12 is opened, the second switch triggering part 411 disengages from the third micro switch 44 to realize power cut-off when the door is opened, which is safer and eliminates the risk of the door 12 being accidentally opened during high temperature operation.

[0063] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the first cooking component 21 and the second cooking component 22 include a heating element 25 and a mold 26 detachably mounted on the heating element 25, with the two molds 26 forming the cooking cavity 23. The molds 26 are detachably connected to the heating element 25 via snap-fit ​​or other means. By changing different molds 26, users can make waffles and other types of pancakes.

[0064] Working principle explanation:

[0065] When in use, the user adds the ingredient packet 51 into the ingredient packet placement cavity 5, and then cuts open the ingredient packet 51 at the bottom. The batter inside the ingredient packet 51 flows into the material inlet 212 and enters the cooking cavity 23. When cooking is completed, the drive mechanism 3 is activated to drive the second cooking component 22 to rotate and open towards the front of the machine body 1, so that the user can easily take out the finished food. The user does not need to manually open the second cooking component 22, thus avoiding the user being burned.

[0066] 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.
