Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, specifically to a food feeding mechanism for a stir-fry machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automated cooking equipment, the food feeding process of a stir-fry machine is one of the key steps to achieve automated cooking. In order to replace manual food feeding and improve cooking efficiency and standardization, a special food feeding mechanism is needed to automatically transfer the ingredients from the storage container to the stir-fry pan.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing technology: 1. The drive motor of the tilting arm is set horizontally, which takes up a lot of space and is not convenient for the overall machine space. 2. Traditional food dispensing mechanisms are designed for a single container and cannot switch between dispensing from multiple containers; Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need further improvement.

[0018] Combination Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a food feeding mechanism for a cooking machine, comprising: Container 1 is used to hold food ingredients, and magnetic suction element 2 is provided on the side wall of container 1; The food dispensing component is located on one side of container 1 and is used to dispense the food from container 1 into the wok. The food feeding assembly includes a first motor 3, a first rotating shaft 4, a first bevel gear 5, a second rotating shaft 6, a second bevel gear 7, a flipping arm 8, an electromagnet 9, and a first support 10; The first bevel gear 5 is mounted on the first rotating shaft 4, and the second bevel gear 7 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 6. The first bevel gear 5 and the second bevel gear 7 mesh with each other. The first rotating shaft 4 is vertically arranged, the second rotating shaft 6 is horizontally arranged, and the first bevel gear 5 and the second bevel gear 7 have an included angle of 90 degrees. The first rotating shaft 4 is mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 3, the second rotating shaft 6 is rotatably mounted on the first bracket 10, one end of the flipping arm 8 is mounted on the second rotating shaft 6, and the electromagnet 9 is mounted on the flipping arm 8; The first motor 3 drives the first bevel gear 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 7 to rotate. Then, through the second rotating shaft 6, the flipping arm 8 rotates upward to the side of the container 1. The electromagnet 9 is energized to attract the magnetic suction piece 2 on the container 1, so that the flipping arm 8 can attract and fix the container 1. The flipping arm 8 flips downward to put the food in the container 1 into the wok. When the flipping arm 8 rotates upward and places the container 1 in the initial position, the electromagnet 9 is de-energized, and the flipping arm 8 separates from the container 1.

[0019] The first support 10 is provided with a first sensor 11 for detecting the rotational position of the flipping arm 8; When the flipping arm 8 rotates with the second rotating shaft 6 and drives the container 1 to the position corresponding to the first sensor 11, the first motor 3 stops rotating, and the ingredients in the container 1 are put into the wok.

[0020] The containers 1 are multiple and are placed side by side on the tray 12; The tray 12 is provided with several partitions 13 for separating the containers 1.

[0021] The tray 12 is disposed on the second drive assembly; The second drive assembly includes a second motor 14, a first lead screw 15, and a lead screw nut 16 that mates with the first lead screw 15; The first lead screw 15 is connected to the output shaft of the second motor 14, and the lead screw nut 16 is fixedly connected to the support plate 12; The second motor 14 drives the first lead screw 15 to rotate in both directions, causing the lead screw nut 16 and the support plate 12 to move back and forth along the first lead screw 15.

[0022] A plurality of second sensors 17 are provided at equal intervals along the axial direction of the first lead screw 15 for detecting the moving position of the lead screw nut 16.

[0023] The support plate 12 is mounted on the T-shaped support plate 19 via the first mounting plate 18, and the lower end of the T-shaped support plate 19 is fixedly connected to the lead screw nut 16.

[0024] A first slide rail 20 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the first lead screw 15, and the bottom of the lead screw nut 16 slides in cooperation with the first slide rail 20.

[0025] The principle of this utility model is as follows: 1. Container 1 switching and positioning (multiple containers 1 scenario) Multiple containers 1 containing different ingredients are placed side by side, separated by partitions 13 on a tray 12.

[0026] After the second motor 14 starts, it drives the first lead screw 15 to rotate in both directions, and works with the lead screw nut 16 to move the support plate 12.

[0027] The support plate 12 is connected to the lead screw nut 16 via the T-shaped support plate 19, and the first slide rail 20 below the lead screw provides guidance for the movement of the support plate 12, ensuring smooth movement.

[0028] The second sensor 17 next to the first lead screw 15 detects the position of the lead screw nut 16. When the target container 1 moves to the corresponding position of the food feeding component, the second motor 14 stops, completing the switching and positioning of the container 1.

[0029] 2. Preparation for adsorption and inversion of container 1 The first motor 3 starts and drives the first bevel gear 5 to rotate via the vertically set first rotating shaft 4.

[0030] The first bevel gear 5 meshes perpendicularly with the second bevel gear 7 on the horizontally positioned second rotating shaft 6, transmitting power to the second rotating shaft 6 and driving the tilting arm 8 to rotate upward.

[0031] When the tilting arm 8 rotates to the side of the container 1, the electromagnet 9 is energized, and the container 1 is fixed to the tilting arm 8 by attracting the magnetic suction part 2 on the side wall of the container 1.

[0032] 3. Ingredient delivery and precise control The first motor 3 continues to drive, and through bevel gear transmission, it drives the second rotating shaft 6 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the tilting arm 8 to tilt downward.

[0033] When the tilting arm 8 rotates the container 1 to the food feeding position corresponding to the first sensor 11, the first sensor 11 triggers a signal, and the first motor 3 stops rotating.

[0034] At this time, container 1 is tilted, and the ingredients inside are naturally put into the wok, completing the feeding action.

[0035] 4. Reset and Separation After the vegetables are added, the first motor 3 starts in reverse, driving the flipping arm 8 to rotate upward and send the container 1 back to its initial position.

[0036] After container 1 is reset, electromagnet 9 is de-energized and separates from magnetic attraction 2 of container 1. The flipping arm 8 returns to its initial state, waiting for the next food feeding or container 1 switching command.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
