Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a stir-fry robot. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cooking robots include a tilting cylinder structure and two food pre-processing mechanisms. The food pre-processing mechanism includes a medium tank, a base, a strainer, and a stirring head. The medium tank is located on the base, and the strainer is placed in the medium tank. A strainer tilting structure is located on the base and connected to the strainer, driving the strainer to tilt. The food pre-processing mechanism also includes a stirring and tilting structure connected to the stirring head, driving the stirring head to tilt. A stirring rotation drive motor drives the stirring head to rotate. Existing cooking robots have three feeding ports, with the middle port located directly above the tilting cylinder structure. Due to the significant drop height between the middle port and the tilting cylinder structure, there is a risk of food falling outside the tilting cylinder structure when food is fed from the middle port. Furthermore, the strainer in the food pre-processing mechanism lacks a fixed limiting device when tilting to dispense food, which sometimes results in incomplete dispensing. Designing a cooking robot that can both prevent food from falling out and limit the position of the flipped strainer is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cooking robot that can both prevent food from falling out and limit the position of the flipped strainer, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cooking robot, comprising:

[0005] The shell has three feeding ports on its top plate, and the middle feeding port is the feeding port of the flipping part.

[0006] A tilting cylinder structure is disposed inside the housing; the material inlet of the tilting part is located directly above the tilting cylinder structure;

[0007] Two food pretreatment mechanisms are both located inside the housing, and are respectively situated on both sides of the tilting cylinder structure. Each food pretreatment mechanism includes a medium tank, a base, and a strainer. The medium tank is located on the base, and the strainer is placed in the medium tank. The base is provided with a strainer tilting structure, which is connected to the strainer. The strainer tilting structure can drive the strainer to tilt and move between the processing position inside the tank and the feeding position outside the tank.

[0008] A movable guide structure is located between the feed inlet of the tilting section and the tilting cylinder structure. The movable guide structure includes a guide cylinder, a guide support plate, and a guide electric actuator. The guide electric actuator is fixedly installed and connected to the guide support plate. The guide support plate is provided with a guide cylinder, which has a vertical through channel. The guide electric actuator can drive the guide support plate to move horizontally. The guide support plate drives the guide cylinder to move. When the guide cylinder moves to directly above the tilting cylinder structure and the sieve component tilts to the feeding position outside the pool, the sieve component touches the guide cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, the cooking robot further includes a fixed cylindrical guide shaft, the central axis of which is parallel to the direction in which the guide electric actuator pushes the guide support plate to move; a cylindrical linear bearing is installed on the cylindrical guide shaft; the cylindrical linear bearing is connected to the guide support plate.

[0010] The cooking robot also includes a strainer nozzle mounted on the housing; the strainer nozzle is located outside the medium tank and directly above the feeding position outside the tank.

[0011] Furthermore, the cooking robot also includes a water inlet located on the upper side wall of the housing, the water inlet being aligned with the medium pool of one of the food pretreatment mechanisms.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the front side of the housing is provided with two seasoning compartments, and the top of each seasoning compartment is connected to a seasoning nozzle.

[0013] Preferably, the cooking robot further includes a food receiving tray disposed at the bottom of the front side of the housing, the food receiving tray being located between the two seasoning compartments and directly below the flipping cylinder structure.

[0014] Preferably, both the guide electric actuator and the tilting cylinder structure are connected to the controller.

[0015] Furthermore, the cooking robot also includes a front pot temperature sensor disposed at the front of the top plate of the housing. The probe of the front pot temperature sensor faces the tilting cylinder structure, which has a tilting part inlet. When the tilting cylinder structure rotates to the cooking position, the probe of the front pot temperature sensor is opposite to the tilting part inlet. The front pot temperature sensor is connected to the controller.

[0016] Furthermore, the cooking robot also includes a frame structure and a shell, the frame structure being connected to the rear of the shell, and both the frame structure and the shell being disposed inside the shell; the controller is disposed on an electronic control board, which is disposed within the frame structure.

[0017] The cooking robot of this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] This cooking robot uses a guide electric push rod to move a guide support plate, which in turn moves a guide cylinder. When the guide cylinder moves directly above the tilting cylinder structure, it guides any food falling from above, directing it into the tilting cylinder structure. In other words, the guide cylinder prevents food from falling out when it needs to be added. Furthermore, when the guide cylinder moves directly above the tilting cylinder structure and the strainer flips to the outside feeding position, the strainer touches the guide cylinder, which then acts as a stop mechanism, causing the strainer to stop abruptly. Due to inertia, the strainer can empty the food completely. This invention is a cooking robot that both prevents food from falling out and limits the movement of the tilted strainer.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the cooking robot in this embodiment includes:

[0060] The housing 100 has three feeding ports 110 on its top plate;

[0061] The tilting cylinder structure 200 is located inside the housing 100; the middle feeding port 110 among the three feeding ports 110 is the tilting part feeding port, which is located directly above the tilting cylinder structure 200.

[0062] Two food pretreatment mechanisms 300 are both located inside the housing 100, and are situated on opposite sides of the tilting cylinder structure 200. Each food pretreatment mechanism 300 includes a medium tank 310, a base 320, and a strainer 330. The medium tank 310 is mounted on the base 320, and the strainer 330 is placed within the medium tank 310. A strainer tilting structure 340 is mounted on the base 320 and connected to the strainer 330. The strainer tilting structure 340 can rotate and move the strainer 330 between the processing position inside the tank and the feeding position outside the tank. The two food pretreatment mechanisms are a blanching mechanism and an oiling mechanism, respectively.

[0063] A movable guide structure 400 is located between the feed inlet of the tilting section and the tilting cylinder structure 200. The movable guide structure 400 includes a guide cylinder 410, a guide support plate 420, and a guide electric push rod 430. The guide electric push rod 430 is fixedly installed and connected to the guide support plate 420. The guide support plate 420 is provided with the guide cylinder 410, which has a vertical through channel. The guide electric push rod 430 is connected to the guide support plate 420. The guide electric push rod 430 can drive the guide support plate 420 to move horizontally. The guide support plate 420 drives the guide cylinder 410 to move. When the guide cylinder 410 moves directly above the tilting cylinder structure 200 and the sieve 330 tilts to the feeding position outside the pool, the sieve 330 touches the guide cylinder 410. Both the guide electric push rod 430 and the tilting cylinder structure 200 are connected to the controller 500.

[0064] This cooking robot uses a guide electric push rod 430 to move a guide support plate 420, which in turn moves a guide cylinder 410. When the guide cylinder 410 moves directly above the flipping cylinder structure 200, it guides falling food items. The falling food items pass through the guide cylinder 410 and fall into the flipping cylinder structure 200. In other words, when food needs to be added, the guide cylinder 410 guides the food, preventing it from falling out. Furthermore, when the guide cylinder 410 moves directly above the flipping cylinder structure 200 and the strainer 330 flips to the outside feeding position, the strainer 330 touches the guide cylinder 410. At this point, the guide cylinder 410 acts as a limit, creating a sudden stop. Under the influence of inertia, the strainer 330 can empty the food completely. This invention is a cooking robot that can both prevent food from falling out and limit the movement of the flipped strainer 330.

[0065] Both the guide electric push rod 430 and the tilting drum structure 200 are connected to the controller 500. The controller 500 controls the rotation of the tilting drum structure 200 and the heating element within it, causing the temperature inside the pot to rise or fall. The controller 500 also activates the guide electric push rod 430, which moves the guide support plate 420 horizontally. Both the stirring drive structure 910 and the strainer tilting structure 340 are connected to the controller 500. The controller 500 activates the stirring drive structure 910, which rotates the stirring head component 920, which stirs the food in the strainer component 330. The controller 500 also activates the strainer tilting structure 340, which tilts the strainer component 330.

[0066] The cooking robot also includes a fixed cylindrical guide shaft 440, the central axis of which is parallel to the direction in which the guide electric actuator 430 pushes the guide support plate 420 to move; a cylindrical linear bearing 450 is mounted on the cylindrical guide shaft 440; the cylindrical linear bearing 450 is connected to the guide support plate 420. The arrangement of the cylindrical guide shaft 440 and the cylindrical linear bearing 450 enables the guide support plate 420 to move smoothly.

[0067] The cooking robot also includes a strainer nozzle 600 mounted on the housing 100. The strainer nozzle 600 is located outside the medium tank 310 and directly above the external feeding position. When the strainer component 330 moves to the external feeding position, the strainer nozzle 600 sprays water onto the strainer component 330, achieving automatic cleaning. That is, after the strainer component 330 has been lubricated or blanched, it can also be automatically sprayed with water to clean impurities, which reduces manual workload and increases convenience.

[0068] After the stirring of the ingredients is completed, the strainer flipping structure 340 drives the strainer component 330 to automatically lift above the oil or water surface to begin draining oil or water. After waiting for the cooking command, the strainer flipping structure 340 continues to drive the strainer component 330 to allow the ingredients to be put into the flipping cylinder structure 200. After the ingredients are put in, the guide cylinder 410 moves horizontally back to the initial position. When the guide cylinder 410 is not directly above the flipping cylinder structure 200, the strainer nozzle 600 is turned on, allowing the strainer component 330 to flip up and down under the rain curtain formed by the water sprayed from the strainer nozzle 600. This allows the strainer component 330 to be rinsed under the rain curtain while it is flipping, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning. Finally, after drying, the strainer component 330 flips back into the medium tank 310, and then the guide cylinder 410 moves horizontally to extend to the preset position.

[0069] The cooking robot also includes a water inlet 120 located on the upper side wall of the housing 100, which is aligned with the medium tank 310 of one of the food pre-processing mechanisms 300. The food pre-processing mechanism 300 aligned with the water inlet 120 is a blanching mechanism. Since the water inlet 120 is located above the medium tank 310, water can be added to the medium tank 310 from above.

[0070] The cooking robot also includes a front-side pot-in-the-pot temperature sensor 130 disposed on the front of the top plate of the housing 100. The probe of the front-side pot-in-the-pot temperature sensor 130 faces the tilting cylinder structure 200, which has a tilting part inlet 210. When the tilting cylinder structure 200 rotates to the cooking position, the probe of the front-side pot-in-the-pot temperature sensor 130 is opposite to the tilting part inlet 210. The front-side pot-in-the-pot temperature sensor 130 is connected to the controller 500. The front-side pot-in-the-pot temperature sensor 130 detects the real-time temperature inside the tilting cylinder structure 200 and can display the detected temperature inside the tilting cylinder structure 200. The controller 500 transmits the acquired temperature inside the tilting cylinder structure 200 to the controller 500. The controller 500 controls the heating element in the tilting cylinder structure 200 according to the acquired temperature, so that the heating element heats or cools the pot inside the tilting cylinder structure 200. The front pot temperature sensor 130 can accurately control and display the internal temperature of the pot before adding ingredients, as well as the internal temperature of the ingredients during the cooking process, thus achieving precise temperature control during cooking. The angle of the front pot temperature sensor 130 can be adjusted so that it can be accurately aligned with the inlet 210 of the flipping section of the flipping cylinder structure 200. When the flipping cylinder structure 200 is rotated to the cooking position, the central axis of the outer shell 820 of the flipping cylinder structure 200 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane.

[0071] Two seasoning bins 710 are located at the bottom front side of the housing 100, and a seasoning nozzle 720 is connected to the top of each seasoning bin 710. The two seasoning nozzles 720 spray the seasonings from the seasoning bins 710 into the pot body inside the tilting drum structure 200. The seasoning nozzles 720 are connected to a controller 500, which controls the seasoning nozzles 720 to spray the seasonings. The seasoning nozzles 720 are connected to the seasoning bins 710 via a pump body, which provides power for the seasoning nozzles 720 to transport the seasonings.

[0072] The cooking robot also includes a food receiving tray 140 located at the bottom of the front side of the housing 100. The food receiving tray 140 is situated between two seasoning compartments 710 and directly below the tilting cylinder structure 200. The food receiving tray 140 is capable of receiving food poured out from the tilting cylinder structure 200.

[0073] The cooking robot also includes a frame structure 810 and a shell 820. The frame structure 810 is connected to the rear of the shell 100, and both the frame structure 810 and the shell 100 are located inside the shell 820. The controller 500 is mounted on an electronic control board 811, and both the electronic control board 811 and the pump body 812 are located within the frame structure 810. The frame structure 810 provides stable support for the shell 100.

[0074] In summary, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0075] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
