Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to an automatic cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional cooking methods typically involve manual operation using open flames. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive. Automatic stir-fry machines can automatically stir-fry ingredients, reducing manual labor. Existing automatic stir-fry machines generally use electric heating. For example, Chinese invention patent application number CN202311372197.7 (publication number CN117958587A) discloses a stir-fry machine, including a base assembly and a rotatable wok. The base assembly is equipped with an electric heater and a rotating device. The rotatable wok consists of an openable body and a lid. The body and lid cooperate to define a stir-frying cavity for loading ingredients. Rotating shafts are provided on both ends of the rotatable wok, which is detachably mounted horizontally on the base assembly and placed above the electric heater. The output shaft of the rotating device is connected to one of the rotating shafts via a coupling, and the rotating device drives the rotatable wok to rotate axially to stir-fry the ingredients in the stir-frying cavity.

[0003] However, compared to traditional open-flame heating, electric heating results in dishes lacking the characteristic "wok hei" (the smoky aroma imparted by a hot wok), and the flavor of the dishes needs further improvement. Using an existing gas stove as the open-flame heating source would occupy limited kitchen space when the cooking machine is not in use. Furthermore, securing the cooking machine's pots and pans to the gas stove burner presents a challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic cooking machine that uses an open flame as a heating source and can stably mount the cookware on the heater, in contrast to the prior art.

[0005] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic cooking machine that uses an open flame as a heating source and does not occupy operating space when not in use, in contrast to the prior art.

[0006] The third technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automatic cooking machine that uses an open flame as a heating source and has a high degree of automation, in contrast to the existing technology.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an automatic cooking machine, including a worktable with a heater and a pot, wherein the pot is placed on the heater in use, characterized in that the worktable is the panel of a gas stove, and the heater is the burner of the gas stove, and further includes:

[0008] A pot support, which, when in use, surrounds the heater and is used to support the pot.

[0009] A shelf is provided on one side of the worktable and is used to place the cookware when not in use;

[0010] The first driving structure, in use, is used to drive the pot to rotate around its own axis.

[0011] The second driving structure is used to drive the cookware to move back and forth between the cookware support and the shelf, so that the cookware is supported on the cookware support or placed on the shelf.

[0012] Furthermore, the pot is approximately elliptical in shape. In use, the pot is placed horizontally on the pot support along the front-to-back direction, and the shelf stands upright behind the heater. In non-use, the pot stands upright on the shelf.

[0013] The second drive structure includes a rotating shaft arranged in the left-right direction and a second drive motor for driving the rotating shaft to make the pot rotate back and forth around the rotating shaft. The pot is designed to be approximately elliptical in shape, and in the use state, the pot is placed horizontally on the pot support in the front-back direction, so that the rotation of the pot can fully stir-fry the food in the pot. In the non-use state, the pot stands upright on the shelf, which can better avoid occupying the operating space. In addition, the pot can move between the pot support and the shelf by rotating, which facilitates the switching between the use state and the non-use state of the pot.

[0014] Furthermore, the first drive structure includes a first drive motor arranged along the axial direction of the cookware, the output shaft of the first drive motor being fixed to the cookware, and both the first drive motor and the rotating shaft being mounted on a rotating base.

[0015] In this way, the first drive motor drives the pot to rotate around its own axis, while the second drive motor drives the rotating shaft and the rotating base to rotate, thereby causing the pot and the first drive motor to rotate synchronously.

[0016] Furthermore, the rotating base is T-shaped and includes a first base extending along the length of the rotating shaft and a second base extending along the axis of the cookware. The first base is cylindrical, and the rotating shaft passes through it along its axis. The first base is rotatably mounted on the shelf. The second base is also cylindrical and has a cavity for accommodating the first drive motor. The output shaft of the first drive motor is exposed outside the second base, and one end of the second base is fixed to the middle of the first base along its length. This ensures a stable mounting of the rotating shaft and the first drive motor on the rotating base. The rotating base has a simple structure, and when the second drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, it causes the first base to rotate relative to the shelf, thereby causing the cookware to rotate relative to the shelf. This allows for better rotation of the cookware and the first drive motor via the rotating base.

[0017] Furthermore, the shelf is U-shaped with a hollow interior, and mounting holes are provided on the vertical beams on both sides. The two ends of the first base are rotatably fitted into the corresponding mounting holes. One end of the rotating shaft extends out of the first base and into one of the vertical beams.

[0018] Furthermore, the second drive structure also includes a second drive motor and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the power output from the second drive motor to the rotating shaft. Both the second drive motor and the transmission mechanism are located in the vertical beam on the same side as the exposed end of the rotating shaft. This allows the first seat to rotate on the shelf. Simultaneously, the transmission mechanism enables the second drive motor to drive the rotating shaft. Furthermore, placing the second drive motor and transmission mechanism inside the shelf improves the appearance of the automatic cooking machine and prevents cooking fumes from affecting the second drive motor and transmission mechanism.

[0019] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a gearbox and a transmission gear, wherein a gear at one end of the gearbox is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor, while a gear at the other end meshes with the transmission gear.

[0020] Furthermore, the transmission gear has a notch on one side, giving it a cleft shape. When one end of the transmission gear's teeth meshes with the corresponding gear in the gearbox, the pot is supported on the pot support, while when the other end meshes with the corresponding gear in the gearbox, the pot rests on the shelf. The gearbox and transmission gear allow the driving force output from the second drive motor to be smoothly transmitted to the rotating shaft. Moreover, the design of the transmission gear's shape and its meshing with the corresponding gear in the gearbox help to position the pot in both its use state (supported on the pot support) and non-use state (rested on the shelf).

[0021] Furthermore, both ends of the first base are open, and the edges of each port extend radially outward to form guide edges. When the first base is rotated, each guide edge slides circumferentially with the inner edge of the corresponding mounting hole. This helps the first base rotate smoothly relative to the shelf, thereby helping the rotating seat to smoothly drive the cookware to rotate.

[0022] Furthermore, positioning blocks are protruding on both the left and right sides of the cookware, and positioning slots are provided on the left and right vertical beams of the U-shaped shelf for the corresponding positioning blocks to engage. Thus, when the cookware is placed on the shelf, each positioning block engages in its corresponding positioning slot, helping to position the cookware on the shelf and achieve stable storage.

[0023] Furthermore, the inner front sides of the top ends of the left and right vertical beams of the shelf are recessed to form horizontally extending L-shaped positioning grooves, and each positioning block extends horizontally and protrudes on the left and right sides of the pot opening. This helps to more stably position the pot on the shelf.

[0024] Furthermore, the pot support includes a cylindrical frame with circumferentially spaced lower air inlets at its lower end. The overall height of the top is wider at the front than the back, so that the pot is placed horizontally on the pot support with the front higher than the back when in use. This front-high-back-low design prevents broth from overflowing from the pot's openings during cooking, while also concentrating the ingredients off-center to one side of the pot, improving the stir-frying effect and allowing the ingredients to soak in the broth, thus enhancing the flavor of the dish. In addition, when the burner is burning, air can be supplied from below through the lower air inlets, which helps to ensure complete combustion of the gas.

[0025] Furthermore, the top edge of the pot support has a wavy shape that slopes downwards from front to back along the circumference, and vertically extending support rods are fixed at intervals along the circumference of each top edge. The length of each support rod is proportional to the height of the top edge at its location. When the pot is supported on the pot support, the top of each support rod abuts against the outer surface of the pot, and an upper air inlet is formed between adjacent support rods. This design of the pot support helps to securely place the pot on the support with the front higher than the back. At the same time, by setting the upper air inlet, air can be supplied from above during combustion, further contributing to the complete combustion of the gas.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the heater in this utility model is the burner of a gas stove, which uses an open flame as the heating source. Compared with the electric heating method commonly used in existing automatic cooking machines, the dishes cooked by open flame are more delicious and conform to people's traditional cooking habits.

[0027] Furthermore, a pot support and a shelf are provided. When in use, the pot support holds the pot securely on the heater, while when not in use, the pot can be placed on the shelf, freeing up workspace and preventing the pot from occupying work area. A first drive mechanism automatically stirs the food in the pot, while a second drive mechanism moves the pot between the pot support and the shelf. This allows the pot to be automatically stored on the shelf when not in use and automatically placed back on the pot support when needed, increasing automation and simplifying the cooking process.

[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different directions, these terms indicating direction are only for illustration and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity. In addition, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0037] like Figures 1-7 As shown, an automatic cooking machine includes a worktable 11 equipped with a heater 12 and a pot 2. In use, the pot 2 is placed on the heater 12. In this embodiment, specifically, the worktable 11 is the panel of a gas stove 1, and the heater 12 is the burner of the gas stove 1.

[0038] Furthermore, it also includes: a pot support 3, a shelf 4, a first drive structure 5, and a second drive structure 6. The pot support 3, in use, surrounds the heater 12 and supports the pot 2. The shelf 4 is located on one side of the operating table 11 and is used to place the pot 2 when not in use. The first drive structure 5, in use, drives the pot 2 to rotate around its own axis. The second drive structure 6 drives the pot 2 to move back and forth between the pot support 3 and the shelf 4, so that the pot 2 is supported on the pot support 3 or placed on the shelf 4.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, the heater 12 in this utility model is the burner of the gas stove 1, using an open flame as the heating source. Compared with the electric heating method commonly used in existing automatic cooking machines, dishes cooked with an open flame are more delicious and conform to people's traditional cooking habits. Furthermore, a pot support 3 and a shelf 4 are respectively provided. In use, the pot support 3 supports the pot 2, thus securing the pot 2 firmly on the heater 12. In non-use, the pot 2 can be placed on the shelf 4, freeing up the operating space of the worktable 11 and preventing the pot 2 from occupying the operating space when not in use. Moreover, the first drive structure 5 drives the pot 2 to automatically stir-fry the ingredients in the pot 2, while the second drive structure 6 moves the pot 2 between the pot support 3 and the shelf 4. In non-use, the pot 2 is automatically stored on the shelf 4, and in use, it is automatically placed back on the pot support 3, improving automation and facilitating the user's cooking operations.

[0040] In this embodiment, specifically, the shape of the aforementioned pot 2 is approximately elliptical, such as... Figure 1 As shown, in use, the cookware 2 is placed horizontally on the cookware support 3 along the front-to-back direction. The shelf 4 stands upright behind the heater 12. In the non-use state, the cookware 2 stands upright on the shelf 4, as shown. Figure 7 As shown. The second drive structure 6 includes a rotating shaft 61 arranged in the left-right direction and a second drive motor 62 for driving the rotating shaft 61 to rotate the pot 2 back and forth around the rotating shaft 61. The pot 2 is designed to be approximately elliptical in shape, and in the use state, the pot 2 is placed horizontally on the pot support 3 in the front-back direction, so that the ingredients in the pot 2 can be thoroughly stir-fried by rotating the pot 2. In the non-use state, the pot 2 is placed vertically on the shelf 4, which can better avoid occupying the operating space. In addition, the pot 2 can move between the pot support 3 and the shelf 4 by rotating, which facilitates the switching between the use state and the non-use state of the pot 2.

[0041] In this embodiment, specifically, as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the aforementioned pot support 3 includes a cylindrical frame 31 with circumferentially spaced lower air inlets 32 at its lower end. The top of the pot is generally higher at the front and lower at the back, so that when in use, the pot 2 is placed horizontally on the pot support 3 with the front higher than the back. This design prevents broth from overflowing from the openings of the pot 2 during cooking, while also concentrating the ingredients on one side of the pot 2. When the pot 2 rotates, it helps to improve the stir-frying effect and allows the ingredients to soak in the broth, which helps to enhance the flavor of the dish. In addition, when the burner is burning, air can be supplied from below through the lower air inlets 32, which helps to ensure complete combustion of the gas. Furthermore, the top edge of the pot support 3 has a wavy shape with the front higher than the back, and vertically extending support rods 33 are fixed at circumferential intervals on each top edge. The height of each support rod 33 is proportional to the height of the top edge at its location. Furthermore, with the pot 2 supported on the pot holder 3, the tops of each support rod 33 abut against the outer surface of the pot 2, and an upper air inlet 34 is formed between adjacent support rods 33. This design of the pot holder 3 helps the pot 2 to be placed stably on the pot holder 3 with a higher front and lower back. Simultaneously, by providing the upper air inlet 34, air can be supplied from above during combustion, further contributing to the complete combustion of the gas.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, the first drive structure 5 includes a first drive motor 51 arranged along the axis of the cookware 2. The output shaft of the first drive motor 51 is fixed to the cookware 2, and both the first drive motor 51 and the rotating shaft 61 are mounted on the rotating base 7. In this way, the first drive motor 51 drives the cookware 2 to rotate around its own axis, while the second drive motor 62 drives the rotating shaft 61, causing the rotating base 7 to rotate, thereby driving the cookware 2 and the first drive motor 51 to rotate synchronously.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rotating seat 7 is T-shaped and includes a first seat 71 extending along the length of the rotating shaft 61 and a second seat 72 extending along the axis of the cookware 2. The first seat 71 is cylindrical, and the rotating shaft 61 passes through and is confined within it along its axis. Figure 4As shown. The first seat 71 is rotatably mounted on the aforementioned shelf 4. The second seat 72 is also cylindrical in shape and has a cavity (not shown) for accommodating the first drive motor 51. The output shaft of the first drive motor 51 is exposed on the second seat 72, and one end of the second seat 72 is fixed to the middle of the first seat 71 along its own length. This allows for a stable mounting of the rotating shaft 61 and the first drive motor 51 on the rotating seat 7. The rotating seat 7 has a simple structure. When the second drive motor 62 drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate, it causes the first seat 71 to rotate relative to the shelf 4, thereby causing the cookware 2 to rotate relative to the shelf 4. This better enables the rotating seat 7 to drive the cookware 2 and the first drive motor 51 to rotate. In this embodiment, the cavity is formed inside the second seat 72, and the first drive motor 51 is embedded in this cavity, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, this allows the first drive motor 51 to be confined inside the second housing 72.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the shelf 4 is U-shaped, including vertical beams 41 on the left and right sides and a horizontal beam 42 at the bottom, wherein the horizontal beam 42 is fixed to the operating table 11. The shelf 4 is hollow inside, and mounting holes 411 are respectively provided on the vertical beams 41 on the left and right sides. Both ends of the first base 71 are rotatably fitted into the corresponding mounting holes 411. One end of the rotating shaft 61 extends out of the first base 71 and into one of the vertical beams 41. Furthermore, the second drive structure 6 also includes a second drive motor 62 and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the power output from the second drive motor 62 to the rotating shaft 61. Both the second drive motor 62 and the transmission mechanism are located in the same vertical beam 41 as the exposed end of the rotating shaft 61. This allows the first seat 71 to rotate on the shelf 4. Simultaneously, a transmission mechanism drives the second drive motor 62 to drive the rotating shaft 61. Furthermore, placing the second drive motor 62 and the transmission mechanism inside the shelf 4 improves the appearance of the automatic cooking machine and prevents cooking fumes from affecting the second drive motor 62 and the transmission mechanism. Figure 4 As shown, preferably, both ends of the first seat 71 are open, and the edges of each end extend radially outward to form guide edges 711. When the first seat 71 is rotated, each guide edge 711 slides circumferentially with the inner edge of the corresponding mounting hole 411. This helps the first seat 71 rotate smoothly relative to the shelf 4, thereby helping the rotating seat 7 to smoothly drive the pot 2 to rotate.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a gearbox 63 and a transmission gear 64. A gear at one end of the gearbox 63 (not shown, i.e., the first gear in the transmission gear set) is mounted on the output shaft of the second drive motor 62, while a gear at the other end (not shown, i.e., the last gear in the transmission gear set) meshes with the transmission gear 64. Furthermore, the transmission gear 64 has a notch on one side, forming a cleft shape. When one end of the tooth surface of the transmission gear 64 meshes with the corresponding gear in the gearbox 63, the pot 2 is supported on the pot support 3; when the other end meshes with the corresponding gear in the gearbox 63, the pot 2 rests on the support frame 4. The driving force output by the second drive motor 62 can be smoothly transmitted to the rotating shaft 61 through the gearbox 63 and the transmission gear 64. Furthermore, the shape design of the transmission gear 64 and the meshing of the transmission gear 64 with the corresponding gear in the gearbox 63 help to position the cookware 2 in the use state (supported on the aforementioned pot support 3) and the non-use state (placed on the aforementioned shelf 4).

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, positioning blocks 21 protrude from the left and right sides of the cookware 2, and positioning grooves 43 are respectively provided on the left and right vertical beams 41 of the U-shaped shelf 4 for the corresponding positioning blocks 21 to engage. Thus, when the cookware 2 is placed on the shelf 4, each positioning block 21 engages in its corresponding positioning groove 43, helping to position the cookware 2 on the shelf 4 and achieve stable storage of the cookware 2. Specifically, the inner front side of the top of the left and right vertical beams 41 of the shelf 4 is recessed to form horizontally extending L-shaped positioning grooves 43, and each positioning block 21 extends horizontally and protrudes from the left and right sides of the opening of the cookware 2, thereby helping to more stably position the cookware 2 on the shelf 4.

[0047] In another embodiment, the automatic cooking machine of this invention can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the automatic cooking machine to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the automatic cooking machine and improving the user experience.
