Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a quick-release structure for the frying utensils of a frying machine, specifically a structure that allows for the quick disassembly and replacement of frying utensils such as frying blades and claws, to facilitate cleaning and maintenance, and to improve the convenience and hygiene of food processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of automated machinery, the food processing industry is gradually adopting automated equipment to improve production capacity and consistency. Automated machinery can reduce the labor costs required for manual stirring and stir-frying, and improve cooking efficiency and quality stability. Therefore, the demand for automated stir-fry machines is increasing day by day.

[0003] Existing stir-fry machines typically include a drive unit and a stir-fry blade. The drive unit outputs rotational force to drive the stir-fry blade to stir or flip the food in the wok. Generally, the drive unit can be a motor, which drives the stir-fry blade to rotate through a connecting structure, so that the food is heated and flipped evenly in the wok, thereby simulating the effect of manual stir-frying.

[0004] However, the blades of most existing stir-fry machines are fixed to the drive unit, usually connected by screws or other fasteners. Since the blades are in prolonged contact with food during use, and grease and food residue often adhere to them during stir-frying, cleaning becomes difficult if they cannot be easily disassembled. Furthermore, the screw-fixed structure is time-consuming and inconvenient, making maintenance difficult and affecting hygiene and ease of use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-disassembly structure for the frying utensils of a frying machine. Its structure is simple and easy to operate, overcomes the defects of the prior art, realizes quick disassembly, facilitates cleaning and maintenance, and can be used with different frying utensils, making it more widely applicable and more practical.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a quick-release structure for the frying utensils of a frying machine, characterized by comprising:

[0007] A coupling includes a cooking appliance connecting groove and a drive device connecting part, the cooking appliance connecting groove and the drive device connecting part being located at two different ends of the coupling respectively. The cooking appliance connecting groove has a groove opening, its groove shape is not perfectly circular, and a first magnetic suction member is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the groove. The drive device connecting part is engaged with and fixed to a drive device; and

[0008] A stir-frying tool includes a coupling connection end and a stir-frying knife component. The coupling connection end and the stir-frying knife component are located at two different ends of the stir-frying tool. The cross-sectional shape of the coupling connection end is also non-circular, and a second magnetic suction component is fixedly provided on its top surface.

[0009] The coupling connection end is inserted into the wok connection groove through the groove opening, so that the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component attract each other, allowing the wok to be detachably installed on the coupling.

[0010] The connecting groove of the stir-frying tool and the connecting part of the drive device are provided along the same axial direction of the coupling.

[0011] The coupling connection end and the wok blade component are located along the same axial direction of the wok.

[0012] The groove of the stir-frying tool connecting groove is polygonal, elliptical, star-shaped or irregular; the cross-sectional shape of the coupling connecting end matches the groove of the stir-frying tool connecting groove.

[0013] The inner circumferential surface of the frying pan connecting groove has a recess; the outer circumferential surface of the coupling connecting end also has a recess. When the coupling connecting end is inserted into the frying pan connecting groove, the recess of the coupling connecting end corresponds to the recess of the frying pan connecting groove, thus forming a receiving space together, into which a fixing key is inserted.

[0014] The coupling also includes a vent hole located outside the slot opening to connect the cooking tool connecting slot to the outside.

[0015] The vent hole is formed on the side of the coupling along the radial direction and is close to the bottom of the groove.

[0016] The wok component includes a wok connecting part and a wok body. The wok connecting part extends from the lower end of the coupling connecting end and has a mating surface. The upper end of the wok body extends a mating block, which is fixedly disposed on the mating surface, thereby fixing the wok component to the lower end of the coupling connecting end.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. Since the cooking utensils and coupling are joined by the attraction between the first and second magnetic components, they can be disassembled by hand without the use of tools. The disassembly process is quick, facilitating cleaning and maintenance, and improving the hygiene of food processing.

[0019] 2. The quick-release design also supports the replacement of different wok utensils, allowing you to change the type of wok blade as needed to adapt to diverse cooking modes and enhance the flexibility of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Other technical contents, features, and effects of this utility model will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. To achieve simplicity and clarity, some commonly used structures and parts are depicted in a simplified schematic manner or omitted without affecting the interpretation of the patent's technical features. Furthermore, the dimensions of each structure and part in the drawings are drawn to a scale suitable for the reader's viewing, not to the actual prototype scale.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0029] As used herein, the articles “a,” “one,” and “any” refer to one or more (i.e., at least one) items unless a specific quantity is specified. For example, “an element” means one element or more.

[0030] As used herein, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptive elements and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, order of use, or order of arrangement.

[0031] As used herein, the term "magnetic element" refers to an element that can attract another object through magnetic force. Specifically, a "magnetic element" may comprise a magnetic material or a material that can be attracted by a magnetic material, which can attract each other through magnetic field interaction. More specifically, the magnetic element may be any combination of the following: (1) two permanent magnets (such as neodymium iron boron, ferrite, etc.) that attract each other; (2) a magnet and a magnetically conductive element (e.g., iron, steel, nickel or other magnetic metals); (3) a magnet and a composite material element with a magnetic coating, plating or embedded magnetic powder; (4) an electromagnet that can generate magnetic force and a metal element or another magnetic element; (5) other combinations of structures or materials that can provide positioning, fixing, attraction or guidance functions through magnetic force. In practice, the form and material selection of the magnetic element are determined by application requirements (such as attraction force, size, environmental conditions) and are not limited to a specific shape or configuration. Its purpose may include, but is not limited to: positioning and alignment, detachable fixation, adsorption and suspension, electrical contact assistance, or for modular structure assembly. Therefore, unless otherwise specifically limited, the term "magnetic element" in this specification shall include all devices, components, or combinations of materials that provide magnetic adsorption functionality.

[0032] As used in this article, the terms "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom" used to describe component names or positional relationships are used to help identify the positional relationships between various feature structures. The actual orientation of the feature structure may change depending on the placement angle or the user's position, and therefore should not be used to limit the scope equally covered in this article.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is an exploded perspective view of the quick-release structure 10 of the stir-frying machine of this utility model. The quick-release structure 10 includes a coupling 20 and a stir-frying utensils 30, with the stir-frying utensils 30 detachably mounted on the coupling 20. The coupling 20 includes a stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 and a drive device connecting part 22, which are located at two different ends of the coupling 20. In this embodiment, the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 and the drive device connecting part 22 are arranged along the same axial direction of the coupling 20. Specifically, they are located at the lower end and upper end of the coupling 20, respectively, and the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 has a groove opening 211 below it. The stir-frying utensils 30 includes a coupling connecting end 31 and a stir-frying blade component 32, which are located at two different ends of the stir-frying utensils 30. In this embodiment, the coupling connection end 31 and the wok blade component 32 are arranged along the same axial direction of the wok 30; specifically, they are located at the upper and lower ends of the wok 30, respectively. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2This is a perspective view of the quick-release structure 10 of the stir-frying utensils of the stir-frying machine of this utility model. The coupling connecting end 31 is inserted into the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 through the groove opening 211.

[0034] Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 For along Figure 2 A cross-sectional diagram is drawn using section lines AA. The groove shape of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21 is a rounded quadrilateral. Specifically, the groove shape of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21 is not a perfect circle. The non-perfect circle can be, for example, but is not limited to, polygons, ellipses, stars, or irregular shapes. Any shape other than a perfect circle falls within the category of non-perfect circles in this embodiment. Next, the cross-sectional shape of the coupling connecting end 31 matches the groove shape of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21, allowing the coupling connecting end 31 to be inserted into the cooking utensil connecting groove 21. Since both the cross-sectional shape of the coupling connecting end 31 and the groove shape of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21 are non-perfect circles, when the coupling 20 is rotated, it can simultaneously drive the cooking utensil 30 to rotate coaxially.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 For along Figure 2 A cross-sectional diagram is drawn using the BB section line. A first magnetic attractor 40 is fixedly installed at the bottom 212 of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21; a second magnetic attractor 50 is fixedly installed on the top surface 311 of the coupling connecting end 31. When the coupling connecting end 31 is inserted into the cooking utensil connecting groove 21, the first magnetic attractor 40 can attract the second magnetic attractor 50, thereby fixing the coupling connecting end 31 in the cooking utensil connecting groove 21. Since the first magnetic attractor 40 and the second magnetic attractor 50 can continuously and repeatedly attract or detach, it facilitates the quick detachment of the cooking utensil 30 from the coupling 20.

[0036] Next, please continue reading. Figure 4 The coupling 20 also includes a vent 23, which is located outside the slot opening 211 and connects the cooking appliance connecting slot 21 to the outside. In this embodiment, the vent 23 is formed radially along the side of the coupling 20 and near the bottom of the slot 212. In this way, when the coupling connecting end 31 is inserted into the cooking appliance connecting slot 21, the gas in the cooking appliance connecting slot 21 can be discharged through the vent 23 to avoid blockage caused by gas retention, thereby reducing the force required for insertion and ensuring a tight connection between the coupling 20 and the cooking appliance.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5This is an exploded perspective view of the stir-frying utensils 30 of the stir-frying machine of this utility model, featuring a quick-release structure. The stir-frying blade component 32 is located at the lower end of the coupling connection end 31, and includes a blade connecting part 321 and a blade body 322. The blade connecting part 321 extends from the lower end of the coupling connection end 31 and has a mating surface 323. A mating block 324 extends from the upper end of the blade body 322. The mating block 324 can be fixedly disposed on the mating surface 323, thereby fixing the stir-frying blade component 32 to the lower end of the coupling connection end 31. It is worth mentioning that, please also refer to... Figure 4 The width of both the blade connecting part 321 and the connecting block 324 is not greater than the groove diameter of the cooking utensil connecting groove 21. In this way, when the coupling connecting end 31 is inserted into the cooking utensil connecting groove 21, the blade connecting part 321 and the connecting block 324 can be located together in the cooking utensil connecting groove 21.

[0038] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the implementation of the quick-release structure of the stir-frying utensils in the stir-frying machine of this utility model. The drive device connection part 22 is engaged and fixed to a drive device 60, which is, for example, but not limited to, a motor. When the drive device 60 is started, it can drive the coupling 20 to rotate, and the coupling 20 can also drive the stir-frying utensils 30 to rotate, so that the stir-frying blade part 32 can perform stirring or stir-frying actions.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is an exploded perspective view of another embodiment of the quick-release structure of the stir-frying utensils of the stir-frying machine of this utility model, showing the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 and the coupling connecting end 31. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the groove shape of the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21 is a perfect circle with a recess 213, specifically, the recess 213 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21; the cross-sectional shape of the coupling connecting end 31 is also a perfect circle with a recess 312, specifically, the recess 312 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the coupling connecting end 31. Next, when the coupling connecting end 31 is inserted into the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21, the recess 312 of the coupling connecting end 31 corresponds to the recess 213 of the stir-frying utensils connecting groove 21, so that they together form a receiving space, into which a fixing key 70 can be inserted. When the coupling 20 is rotated, the fixing key 70 abuts against the two recesses 213 and 312, effectively transmitting the rotational torque of the coupling 20 to the cooking pot 30, preventing relative sliding between the two, and thus enabling the cooking pot 30 to rotate coaxially and synchronously with the coupling 20. It should be noted that although the groove shape of the cooking pot connecting groove 21 in this embodiment is basically circular, it is still non-circular overall because the recesses 213 are formed at the edge of the circle.

[0040] The above-described embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Details disclosed in some embodiments are necessary for clarity in the specification, and those skilled in the art should understand that these details are not essential and should not limit the scope of this utility model. Any equivalent changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art, after understanding the foregoing technical features and embodiments of this utility model and without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, are still within the scope of this utility model, and the patent protection scope of this utility model shall be determined by the claims appended to this specification.
