Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen appliance technology, and in particular to a stir-frying device. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional stir-frying involves placing a wok on a heating device and manually stirring the ingredients. A stir-fry machine, on the other hand, is a device that automatically stir-fries ingredients. Examples include Chinese utility model patent number ZL202421002906.2 (authorization announcement number CN222443817U) and Chinese invention patent application number CN202411375755.X (publication number CN119112017A).

[0003] However, while automatic cooking machines are convenient to operate, they are bulky, inconvenient to store, and take up a lot of kitchen space. Furthermore, the woks used are generally heavy, making them difficult to move, especially for women, the elderly, and other people with limited mobility. In addition, existing automatic cooking machines require manual cleaning of the woks after cooking, which is not only cumbersome but also ineffective. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a cooking device that is easy to store, in contrast to existing technologies.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a stir-frying device with a convenient pot body that is easy to move, in contrast to the prior art.

[0006] The third technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a stir-frying device with an easy-to-clean pot body, which is in contrast to the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a cooking device, comprising a horizontally extending worktable and a pot body, characterized in that a storage cabinet is vertically arranged on the rear side of the worktable surface, the storage cabinet opening forward, and a mounting bracket rotatably arranged in the storage cabinet, on which the pot body is rotatably arranged.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting bracket can be rotated so that part of it extends forward out of the opening of the storage cabinet, and the pot is placed horizontally in front of the storage cabinet and above the heating position on the worktable, in a stir-frying state; or the mounting bracket can be rotated so that it is completely housed in the storage cabinet, and the pot is placed vertically in the storage cabinet, in a stored state; the storage cabinet is also equipped with a spray system, which is used to clean the inner surface of the pot in the stored state.

[0009] Furthermore, the spray system includes a vertically arranged spray arm, in which the nozzle of the spray arm is positioned opposite the center of the inner surface of the pot. This allows the spray arm's nozzle to spray the inner surface of the pot, thus cleaning it.

[0010] Furthermore, the spray arm also includes a vertically extending arm body, which is hollow inside to form a water inlet channel. The lower end of the arm body is in fluid communication with a water source, while the upper end is provided with a connecting seat for pivotally mounting the spray head. This connecting seat is hollow inside, allowing the upper end of the arm body to connect to the spray head via the connecting seat. The spray nozzles on the spray head are arranged such that, in the water spraying state, the spray head can be driven to rotate relative to the connecting seat about the axis of the pot. When the spray head sprays water, it can utilize water pressure to rotate relative to the connecting seat, so that the sprayed water flow can cover the entire inner surface of the pot as much as possible, ensuring a thorough cleaning of the pot.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting bracket includes a mounting base arranged in the left-right direction and a rotating shaft passing through the mounting base in the length direction. The left and right ends of the rotating shaft are respectively rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod, and the other end of each connecting rod is respectively rotatably connected to the connecting shafts on the left and right sides of the pot body. This allows the mounting bracket to be rotatably installed in the storage cabinet, while simultaneously allowing the pot body to be rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting base is an inverted U-shaped folded plate protruding from the bottom surface of the storage cabinet in a left-right direction. Below the mounting base are a drive motor and a gearbox for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor to the rotating shaft. The gearbox housing is fixed to the mounting base, and the first transmission gear in the gearbox is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor, while the second transmission gear is mounted on the rotating shaft. The power output from the drive motor is transmitted to the rotating shaft through the gearbox, realizing the automatic rotation of the rotating shaft and thus the automatic movement of the pot body, completely eliminating the need for manual operation. Moreover, the meshing of the gears allows the rotating shaft to be positioned at the desired location.

[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the storage cabinet is open and extends vertically downwards in the circumferential direction to form an extension cabinet. A partition is provided in the extension cabinet in the left-right direction. The front side of the partition is connected to the lower end of the rear side of the mounting base along its length, defining a liquid-receiving tank in the extension cabinet. The inner space of the extension cabinet below the liquid-receiving tank forms a liquid-collecting chamber. A drain outlet is provided on the partition, and a filter basket is detachably installed on the drain outlet. In this way, the wastewater after cleaning flows downwards into the liquid-receiving tank, is filtered by the filter basket, and is collected in the liquid-collecting chamber, thus achieving the treatment of the cleaning wastewater.

[0014] Furthermore, the filter basket includes a cylindrical basket body with horizontally extending positioning plates protruding from both sides of the upper end of the basket body. In the installed state, the basket body is vertically embedded in the drain outlet, while the positioning plates on both sides of the basket body rest opposite each other on the upper surface of the partition. This allows for detachable installation and removal of the filter basket in the drain outlet. After cleaning, the filter basket needs to be removed from the drain outlet facing upwards. Installation is simple: just insert the filter basket into the drain outlet from top to bottom, making assembly and disassembly convenient.

[0015] Furthermore, a vertically extending splash guard is fixed to the lower surface of the partition. This splash guard is centered on the liquid outlet, and when the filter basket is installed, the lower edge of the splash guard is below the lower end of the filter basket. By providing the splash guard, cleaning wastewater can be prevented from splashing onto the inner surface of the extension cabinet when it falls from the filter basket, facilitating daily cleaning and maintenance.

[0016] Furthermore, during the cooking process, an inner door is vertically spaced along the rear side of the storage cabinet's interior cavity, and the spray system is concealed behind this inner door. The inner door prevents cooking fumes from contaminating the spray system.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner door is slidably mounted on the storage cabinet and the extension cabinet. In the cooking state, the inner door moves to its highest position and is positioned within the storage cabinet's interior. In the storage state, the inner door moves to its lowest position and is located within the extension cabinet, leaving a vertical gap between it and the inner bottom surface of the extension cabinet. The liquid level in the collection chamber is always lower than the lower edge of the inner door. This sliding mechanism of the inner door allows for easy adjustment of its position in different states (cooking state and storage state).

[0018] Furthermore, a heater is provided or placed on the heating position of the operating table. During the stir-frying process, the pot is rotated to be positioned above the heater. The heater heats the pot, enabling the stir-frying operation.

[0019] Furthermore, the worktable is the panel of a gas stove, and the heater is the burner of the gas stove. Utilizing the existing gas stove in the kitchen as the worktable for cooking can save production costs, and using the flame of the burner to heat the pot conforms to traditional cooking habits. Moreover, it can better preserve the original flavor and nutrients of the ingredients, improving the taste and nutritional value of the dishes.

[0020] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: This invention utilizes a storage cabinet to store the pot, preventing it from occupying kitchen space when not in use. Furthermore, the pot is mounted on a support bracket, allowing for easy switching between cooking and storage modes, eliminating the need for manual movement and solving the problem of carrying heavy pots. In addition, a spray system cleans the pot after use, eliminating the need for manual washing and improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0029] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cooking device includes a horizontally extending worktable 3 and a pot body 4 (specifically a wok in this embodiment). A storage cabinet 5 is vertically arranged on the rear side of the worktable 3, and the storage cabinet 5 opens forward. A mounting bracket 7 is rotatably arranged in the storage cabinet 5, and the aforementioned pot body 4 is rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 7. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 7 can be rotated so that a portion of itself extends forward out of the opening of the storage cabinet 5, and the pot body 4 is placed horizontally in front of the storage cabinet 5 and above the heating position of the worktable 3, in a cooking state; or the mounting bracket 7 can be rotated so that it is completely contained within the storage cabinet 5, and the pot body 4 is placed vertically within the storage cabinet 5, in a stored state; the storage cabinet 5 is also provided with a spray system, which is used to clean the inner surface of the aforementioned pot body 4 in the stored state.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, this utility model enables the storage of the pot body 4 through the storage cabinet 5, preventing the pot body 4 from occupying kitchen work space when not in use. Furthermore, the pot body 4 is mounted on the mounting bracket 7, which allows the pot body 4 to switch between cooking and storage states, making operation convenient and eliminating the need for manual movement of the pot body 4, thus solving the problem of carrying a heavy pot. In addition, the spray system can clean the pot body 4 after use, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and improving the user experience.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the spray system includes a vertically arranged spray arm 8. In the retracted state, the nozzle 81 of the spray arm 8 is opposite to the middle of the inner surface of the pot body 4. Thus, the nozzle 81 of the spray arm 8 can spray the inner surface of the pot body 4, achieving cleaning of the pot body 4. Specifically, the spray arm 8 also includes a vertically extending arm body 82. The arm body 82 is hollow inside to form a water inlet channel (not shown), and its lower end is used to communicate with a water source. Its upper end is provided with a connecting seat 83 for pivotally mounting the nozzle 81. The connecting seat 83 is hollow inside, allowing the upper end of the arm body 82 to communicate with the nozzle 81 through the connecting seat 83. The spray holes (not shown) on the nozzle 81 are arranged so that, in the water spraying state, the nozzle 81 can be driven to rotate relative to the connecting seat 83 about the axis of the pot body 4 (refer to the spray arm structure of a conventional dishwasher). When spraying water, the water pressure can be used to rotate the nozzle 81 relative to the connecting seat 83 so that the sprayed water can cover the entire inner surface of the pot body 4 as much as possible, ensuring the cleaning effect of the pot body 4.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket 7 includes a mounting base 71 arranged in the left-right direction and a rotating shaft 72 passing through the mounting base 71 in the length direction. The left and right ends of the rotating shaft 72 are rotatably connected to one end of a connecting rod 73, and the other end of each connecting rod 73 is rotatably connected to the connecting shafts 74 on the left and right sides of the pot body 4. This allows the mounting bracket 7 to be rotatably installed in the storage cabinet 5, while simultaneously allowing the pot body 4 to be rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 7. Further, as... Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 71 is an inverted U-shaped folded plate protruding from the bottom surface of the storage cabinet 5 in the left-right direction. Below the mounting base 71 are a drive motor 75 and a gearbox 76 for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor 75 to the rotating shaft 72. The gearbox 76 is fixed to the mounting base 71. A first transmission gear (not shown) in the gearbox 76 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 75, and a second transmission gear (not shown) is mounted on the rotating shaft 72. In this invention, the gearbox is a conventional structure, comprising at least a first transmission gear and a second transmission gear. The first transmission gear meshes with the second transmission gear, or meshes with other transmission gears. The power output by the drive motor 75 is transmitted to the rotating shaft 72 through the gearbox 76, enabling the automatic rotation of the rotating shaft 72 and thus the automatic movement of the pot body 4, requiring no manual operation. Furthermore, the meshing of the gears allows the rotating shaft 72 to be positioned at the desired location. Meanwhile, each connecting rod 73 and the connecting shaft 74 achieves damping through friction, thereby enabling the pot body 4 to be suspended in the required position, such as a horizontal position (stir-frying state) or a vertical position (storage state).

[0033] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the bottom of the storage cabinet 5 is open and extends vertically downwards in the circumferential direction to form an extension cabinet 6. A partition 61 is provided in the extension cabinet 6 along the left-right direction. The front side of the partition 61 is connected to the lower end of the rear side of the mounting base 71 along its length direction, thereby defining a liquid-receiving tank 62 in the extension cabinet 6. The inner cavity space of the extension cabinet 6 below the liquid-receiving tank 62 forms a liquid collection chamber 63. Furthermore, a drain outlet 611 is provided on the partition 61 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, a filter basket 64 is detachably installed on the discharge port 611. In this way, the wastewater after cleaning flows downward into the receiving tank 62, is filtered by the filter basket 64, and is collected in the collection chamber 63, thus realizing the treatment of the wastewater after cleaning.

[0034] Furthermore, the aforementioned filter basket 64 includes a cylindrical basket body 641. Horizontally extending positioning plates 642 protrude from both sides of the upper end of the basket body 641. In the installed state, the basket body 641 is vertically embedded in the drain port 611, while the positioning plates 642 on both sides of the basket body 641 rest opposite each other on the upper surface of the partition plate 61. This allows for the detachable installation of the filter basket 64 in the drain port 611. After cleaning, the filter basket 64 needs to be removed upwards from the drain port 611. During installation, simply insert the filter basket 64 into the drain port 611 from top to bottom; disassembly and assembly are convenient. The portion of the filter basket 64 above the partition plate 61 has a perforated opening (not shown) to allow water to flow into the filter basket 64.

[0035] Preferably, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a vertically extending splash guard 65 is fixed to the lower surface of the partition 61. The splash guard 65 is centered on the liquid outlet 611, and when the filter basket 64 is installed, the lower edge of the splash guard 65 is located below the lower end of the filter basket 64. By setting the splash guard 65, cleaning wastewater can be prevented from splashing onto the inner surface of the extension cabinet 6 when it falls from the filter basket 64, which facilitates daily cleaning and maintenance.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in the cooking state, an inner door 91 is vertically spaced along the rear side of the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5, and the spray system is hidden behind this inner door 91. The inner door 91 prevents cooking fumes from contaminating the spray system. In the stored state, the opening of the storage cabinet 5 is covered by an outer door 92, as shown... Figure 2 As shown.

[0037] Furthermore, the inner door 91 is slidably mounted on the storage cabinet 5 and the extension cabinet 6. For example, grooves (not shown) are provided on the left and right inner sides of the storage cabinet 5 and the extension cabinet 6 for the corresponding side edges of the inner door 91 to be fitted and slide up and down. In the cooking state, the inner door 91 moves up to its highest position and is positioned in the inner cavity of the storage cabinet 5. In the storage state, the inner door 91 moves down to its lowest position and is located in the extension cabinet 6, with a vertical gap between it and the inner bottom surface of the extension cabinet 6. The liquid level in the liquid collection chamber 63 is always lower than the lower edge of the inner door 91. In this embodiment, the liquid collection chamber 63 is provided with an openable and closable drain hole (not shown). By monitoring the water level inside the liquid collection chamber 63, the drain hole is opened to drain water when the preset water level is reached, thereby ensuring that the water level in the liquid collection chamber 63 is always lower than the lower edge of the inner door 91. The vertical sliding setting of the inner door 91 facilitates the vertical adjustment of the position of the inner door 91 in different states (cooking state and storage state). In this embodiment, existing limiting structures can be used to limit the inner door 91 under different states. For example, a limiting pin can be set on the inner door 91, and limiting holes for inserting the limiting pin can be opened at the corresponding positions of the storage cabinet 5 or the extension cabinet 6. In this embodiment, the mounting base 71 is provided with an opening 711 for the inner door 91 to pass vertically, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0038] Furthermore, a heater is provided or placed on the heating position of the aforementioned operating table 3. During cooking, the aforementioned pot body 4 is rotated to be positioned above the heater. The heater heats the pot body 4, enabling the cooking operation. Specifically, in this embodiment, the aforementioned operating table 3 is the panel 21 of the gas stove 2, and the aforementioned heater is the burner 22 of the gas stove 2, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown. Utilizing the existing gas stove 2 in the kitchen as the worktable 3 for cooking can save production costs. Furthermore, using the flame of the burner 22 to heat the pot 4 conforms to traditional cooking habits and better preserves the original flavor and nutrients of the ingredients, enhancing the taste and nutritional value of the dishes. In this embodiment, the gas stove 2 is embedded in the mounting opening on the countertop of the cabinet 1, while the extension cabinet 6 extends into the interior of the cabinet 1.

[0039] The term "fluid connectivity" as used in this utility model refers to the spatial relationship between two components or parts (hereinafter referred to as the first part and the second part, respectively), that is, a fluid (gas, liquid, or a mixture of both) can flow from the first part along a flow path and / or be transported to the second part. This can be a direct connection between the first part and the second part, or an indirect connection between the first part and the second part through at least one third party. The third party can be a fluid channel such as a pipe, channel, conduit, guide, hole, or groove, or a chamber or combination thereof that allows fluid to flow through.
