The wok is a major cooking utensil in China and Southeast Asia.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent (CN212346204U), which includes a base and a support. The base has supports at both the front and rear of its top end, and mounting brackets are hinged to both sets of supports. A circular hoop is provided between the two sets of mounting brackets, and a wok is placed inside the hoop. A platform is provided on the other side of the base's top, and a hinge seat is provided on the platform. A swing arm is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat, and a pot lid is fixed to one side of the bottom of the swing arm. A rotating ring is rotatably mounted under the pot lid, and a three-sided frame is provided inside the rotating ring. This invention uses the rotation of the rotating ring and the three-sided frame to drive the rotation of a U-shaped shaft and a scraper to stir-fry the food in the wok at multiple points. The rotating U-shaped shaft and scraper can fit against the inner wall of the wok at multiple angles, resulting in better processing. Furthermore, by installing clips on different mounting holes, the rotation trajectory of the U-shaped shaft can be changed, making it suitable for processing different quantities of food.
[0004] The aforementioned patent proposed using a rotating ring and three-sided frame to drive the U-shaped shaft and scraper to rotate and stir-fry the ingredients in the wok at multiple points. By installing the clamps on different mounting holes, the rotation trajectory of the U-shaped shaft can be changed, making it suitable for processing different amounts of food.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Example 1: See Appendix Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an automated wok, including a support rod 1 and a base 10. The support rod 1 provides a stable support foundation for the upper functional components of the device, and the base 10 provides a stable platform for the entire wok to be installed and placed on the ground, ensuring the stability of the overall operation of the equipment. A slotted connecting block 2 is provided at the bottom end of the support rod 1. The slotted connecting block 2 serves as a connecting medium, providing a detachable connection structure for the multi-functional connecting rod 3, laying the foundation for the subsequent assembly and disassembly of components. The multi-functional connecting rod 3 is detachably connected to the bottom end of the slotted connecting block 2. The multi-functional connecting rod 3 undertakes the function of integrating and installing functional components, and can simultaneously support the discharge pipe 7 and the stir-frying arm 8, realizing the centralized connection and collaborative work of multiple components. Two locking blocks 4 are slidably connected inside the multi-functional connecting rod 3. The locking blocks 4 can slide along a preset trajectory inside the multi-functional connecting rod 3. Through the locking action with the slotted connecting block 2, the multi-functional connecting rod 3 and the slotted connecting block 2 are quickly fixed.
[0019] The multi-functional connecting rod 3 has a telescopic rod 5 inside, which guides and constrains the sliding direction of the two locking blocks 4, preventing the locking blocks 4 from deviating during sliding and ensuring the accuracy of the locking action. A spring 6 is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 5. The spring 6 has elastic return characteristics. When the locking blocks 4 are not pressed by external force, they can push the locking blocks 4 with their own elastic force to maintain the locking state with the locking slot connecting block 2, maintaining the stability of the component connection. The two locking blocks 4 are locked into the inner wall of the locking slot connecting block 2. The locking structure realizes the quick assembly and fixation of the multi-functional connecting rod 3 and the locking slot connecting block 2, and the connection strength can meet the force requirements of the wok during operation. The spring 6 is set between the two locking blocks 4. This installation position allows the spring 6 to apply a uniform elastic force to the two locking blocks 4, ensuring the synchronization of the sliding and return actions of the two locking blocks 4, and ensuring the smoothness of locking and disassembly.
[0020] Example 1: See Appendix Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides another technical solution: an automated wok, including: two discharge pipes 7 are provided on the outer side of the multi-functional connecting rod 3. The discharge pipes 7 serve as seasoning dispensing control components, which can accurately control the amount and timing of seasoning dispensing, efficiently regulate the flavor of ingredients, and ensure that the seasoning is evenly distributed in stir-frying scenarios with a large amount of ingredients, without affecting the overall consistency of the flavor of the ingredients; two stirring arms 8 are provided at the bottom of the multi-functional connecting rod 3. During the stir-frying process, the stirring arms 8 can stir and turn the ingredients in the main body 12 of the equipment to ensure that the ingredients are heated evenly and avoid local ingredients being burnt or undercooked.
[0021] A metal cover 9 is provided on the outer side of the support rod 1. The metal cover 9 can protect the multi-functional connecting rod 3 and the stir-frying area below it, preventing external dust and impurities from entering the stir-frying space and ensuring the hygiene of the food. The metal cover 9 is located above the multi-functional connecting rod 3. This position allows the metal cover 9 to accurately cover the upper area of the multi-functional connecting rod 3, maximizing its protective function, while not interfering with the operation of the stir-frying arms 8 below. The two stir-frying arms 8 are arranged in a fan shape. The fan-shaped distribution structure can expand the contact range between the stir-frying arms 8 and the food, improve the overall stir-frying of the food, and avoid the situation where some food is not stirred, thus ensuring the stir-frying effect.
[0022] Two electrically controlled swing arms 11 are rotatably connected to the top of the base 10. The electrically controlled swing arms 11 can be driven to rotate by the built-in electrical control components, thereby driving the main body 12 to adjust the tilt angle or position to meet the needs of pouring in and out food and different stir-frying forces, thus improving operational flexibility. The main body 12 is set between the two electrically controlled swing arms 11. The main body 12 serves as the core container for food stir-frying, providing a closed stir-frying space for the food and being able to withstand the high temperature and impact of the food during the stir-frying process. A control box 13 is set on the rear side of the base 10. The control box 13 integrates the electrical control system and operation module of the equipment, which can uniformly control the operating parameters of components such as the electrically controlled swing arms 11 and the stir-frying arms 8, thereby realizing the automated operation of the wok.
[0023] A support arm 14 is rotatably connected to the top of the control box 13. The support arm 14 can be rotated to adjust its angle and position, providing flexible support for the connecting plate 15 and any auxiliary components that may be added later, thus expanding the equipment's functional adaptability. The top of the support arm 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 15, which can serve as an installation interface for external auxiliary components. Its rotatable connection structure further enhances the flexibility of the support component's position adjustment, meeting the needs of different usage scenarios. The metal cover 9 and the equipment body 12 abut against each other. The abutment structure forms a relatively enclosed frying space between the metal cover 9 and the equipment body 12, reducing heat loss and oil fume overflow during frying, improving energy efficiency and the cleanliness of the operating environment. Furthermore, both the metal cover 9 and the equipment body 12 are made of heat-insulating and high-temperature resistant material. This material characteristic can prevent the components from deforming or being damaged in a high-temperature frying environment, while also blocking heat conduction to the surface of the components, preventing operators from being burned when they come into contact with them, and improving the safety and service life of the equipment.
[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
