Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by this invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by this invention can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0027] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of the stated features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0028] Exemplary embodiments according to the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a feeding module is provided according to a first aspect of the present application, comprising: a support member 110; at least one seasoning module connected to the support member 110; and a cantilever assembly 130 detachably connected to the support member 110, the cantilever assembly 130 having at least two cantilever arms 132 for swinging along a first direction.

[0030] The feeding module provided in this embodiment includes a support member 110, at least one seasoning module, and a cantilever assembly 130. During the operation of the feeding module, after the cooking equipment is started, the support member 110 provides stable support for the seasoning module and the cantilever assembly 130 during cooking. The cantilever assembly 130 can drive the stirring assembly 2130 to swing in a first direction, so that the stirring assembly 2130 approaches and extends into the burner head 2120 to stir the food evenly. During the stir-frying process, seasonings can be delivered through the seasoning module. When the food needs to be served after cooking, the cantilever assembly 130 can drive the stirring assembly 2130 away from the burner head 2120. The stirring assembly 2130 may include a stirring element and a scraper element. After cooking, the food in the burner head 2120 can be scraped out to the receiving container. If the stirring assembly 2130 needs to be maintained or replaced, the cantilever assembly 130 can be disassembled from the support member 110 and reassembled after the operation is completed. The whole process does not affect the stability of the support member 110 and the seasoning module, ensuring the continuity of the cooking process.

[0031] The feeding module provided in this embodiment has a support 110 fixed to the cooking equipment countertop 2110, providing a stable installation foundation for the feeding module and allowing a single feeding module to serve multiple burners 2120. This eliminates the need for a separate feeding module for each burner 2120, significantly reducing the overall number of components and lowering production and procurement costs. It also simplifies the layout of the equipment countertop 2110, avoiding structural complexity caused by cluttered arrangement of multiple modules. Multiple burners 2120 can systematically obtain seasonings through the same feeding module, connecting with the cantilever assembly 130 and the stirring assembly 2130, combining stir-frying and serving functions. This enables simultaneous and efficient cooking by multiple burners 2120, shortening the food preparation cycle, significantly improving serving efficiency, and meeting the rapid food service needs of catering scenarios.

[0032] The feeding module provided in this application embodiment, through the setting of at least two cantilever 132, each cantilever 132 can correspond to one burner 2120, multiple burners 2120 can obtain seasonings in an orderly manner through the same feeding module, and are connected with the cantilever assembly 130 and the stirring assembly 2130 to take into account both stir-frying and serving functions, realize simultaneous and efficient cooking of multiple burners 2120, shorten the food preparation cycle, significantly improve the serving efficiency, and adapt to the fast serving needs of catering scenarios.

[0033] Meanwhile, each cantilever 132 independently serves its corresponding burner 2120, allowing for precise control of the stir-frying intensity and timing of food output from a single burner 2120. This avoids differences in food texture caused by operational delays when multiple burners 2120 share a single cantilever 132, ensuring consistent quality across different burners 2120. Furthermore, the independent cantilever 132 design ensures that maintenance or malfunction of a single burner 2120 does not affect the normal operation of other cantilever 132s, improving the overall stability and fault tolerance of the equipment.

[0034] The feeding module provided in this application embodiment has a cantilever assembly 130 that swings along a fixed first direction, which can precisely control the distance between the stirring assembly 2130 and the burner head 2120. This facilitates control of the stirring trajectory of the stirring assembly 2130 within the burner head 2120, avoiding problems such as undercooked or burnt food caused by uneven force or uneven stirring during manual operation. At the same time, the stirring assembly 2130 can thoroughly scrape the food inside the burner head 2120, reducing food waste and ensuring the stability of the food output.

[0035] The feeding module provided in this embodiment can be connected to the stirring assembly 2130, enabling the feeding module to integrate stir-frying and serving functions without the need for separate stir-frying and scraping mechanisms, thus avoiding the cumbersome operation of switching between multiple components. No manual intervention is required during cooking for stir-frying and serving, reducing labor costs. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where multiple burners 2120 operate simultaneously, improving overall cooking efficiency.

[0036] The feeding module provided in this application embodiment has a cantilever assembly 130 detachably connected to the support member 110. When the stirring assembly 2130 wears out and fails, only the cantilever assembly 130 needs to be disassembled to replace the parts, without disassembling the support member 110 and the seasoning module, simplifying the maintenance process and shortening downtime. In addition, the integrated design reduces the number of independent mechanisms, saves internal space in the cooking equipment, makes the equipment layout more compact, adapts to kitchen scenarios of different sizes, and reduces the overall production cost and space investment of the equipment.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the seasoning module includes a swing arm assembly 120, which is rotatably connected to the support member 110. The swing arm assembly 120 is located between the cantilever assembly 130 and the support member 110. The swing arm assembly 120 is used to rotate along a second direction, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction.

[0038] In this technical solution, the seasoning module may include a swing arm assembly 120. During cooking, the support member 110 is fixed to the equipment tabletop 2110, and the swing arm assembly 120 rotates along a second direction, which can be aligned with different burners 2120 as needed. After the seasoning module delivers seasonings to the target burner 2120 through the swing arm assembly 120, the cantilever assembly 130 swings along a first direction, driving the stirring assembly 2130 to dispense the food. In a single dispensing module, the swing arm assembly 120 can flexibly switch positions to serve at least two burners 2120, cooperating with the cantilever assembly 130 to ensure the continuous progress of the multi-burner 2120 cooking process.

[0039] In this technical solution, the swing arm assembly 120 rotates in the second direction to accommodate at least two burners 2120, eliminating the need for a separate seasoning delivery structure for each burner 2120. Combined with the cantilever assembly 130 on the support 110, a single feeding module can handle the seasoning supply and cooking operations for multiple burners 2120, reducing equipment redundancy and improving food preparation efficiency. The swing arm assembly 120 is located between the cantilever assembly 130 and the support 110, making efficient use of space. Furthermore, the different directions (first and second) prevent interference between the components. This reduces the number of independent seasoning modules, lowers piping and component costs, and simplifies the overall equipment structure, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0040] In some examples, the first direction is the longitudinal direction of the support 110, and the second direction can be horizontal, or approximately horizontal, or parallel to the countertop 2110 of the cooking equipment. This configuration ensures the independence of the actions of the swing arm assembly 120 in flexibly switching between the burner 2120 for seasoning delivery, and the cantilever assembly 130 in swinging up and down to stir-fry and serve, thus improving operational stability. Simultaneously, the horizontal direction allows the swing arm 122 to quickly cover at least two burners 2120, while the vertical direction allows the cantilever 132 to precisely control the stir-frying depth and scraping distance. Combined with the integrated design of the support 110, this further simplifies the equipment structure, reduces space occupation, lowers the cost of multi-burner 2120 collaborative cooking, and efficiently adapts to the needs of catering scenarios.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the swing arm assembly 120 includes: a first base 1210, which is rotatably connected to the support member 110; and a swing arm 122, one end of which is connected to the first base 1210 and the other end of which extends away from the first base 1210.

[0042] In this technical solution, the structure of the swing arm assembly 120 is further provided. The swing arm assembly 120 may include a first base 1210 and a swing arm 122. During cooking, the support member 110 provides a stable foundation. The first base 1210 of the swing arm assembly 120 rotates around the support member 110, driving the swing arm 122 connected to it to move along a second direction, so that the end of the swing arm 122 away from the first base 1210 is aligned with the target burner 2120. After the seasoning module delivers seasoning to the burner 2120 through the swing arm 122, the first base 1210 continues to rotate, driving the swing arm 122 to switch to the next burner 2120. The first base 1210 of the swing arm assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the support member 110, providing stable rotational support for the swing arm 122, ensuring that the swing arm 122 accurately switches to different burners 2120 along the second direction, avoiding seasoning delivery deviation and improving feeding accuracy. The structure of the swing arm 122, which is connected to the first base 1210 at one end and extends outward at the other end, can cover at least two burners 2120, eliminating the need for multiple sets of seasoning conveying components and reducing costs; and it does not interfere with the cantilever assembly 130 that moves along the height direction, ensuring efficient cooking of multiple burners 2120 and further simplifying the equipment structure.

[0043] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this technical solution, the first base 1210 includes a base body 121, a power component 123, and a mounting plate 124. The base body 121 has an oblong hole 127 or a long slot. The mounting plate 124 is connected to the support member 110. The power component 123 is mounted on the mounting plate 124, and its output end is connected to the base body 121. Activating the power component 123 drives the base body 121 to rotate the swing arm 122. The swing arm assembly 120 may further include a first seal 125 and a second seal 126. The first seal 125 is disposed between the base body 121 and the mounting plate 124, and the second seal 126 is disposed between the base body 121 and the cantilever assembly 130. This configuration provides a stable mounting base for the power component 123 via the mounting plate 124, ensuring more precise force transmission when the power component 123 drives the base body 121. It also prevents the swing arm 122 from shifting due to wobbling of the power component 123, improving the accuracy of the swing arm 122 in positioning the multi-burner head 2120 for material feeding. The oblong hole 127 in the base body 121 limits its rotational stroke, preventing excessive rotation and collision with the burner head 2120. The first seal 125 and the second seal 126 prevent oil and seasoning residue from entering the connection gaps between the base body 121, the mounting plate 124, and the cantilever assembly 130, reducing component wear, extending service life, and preventing the problem of difficult-to-clean gaps. This reduces equipment maintenance frequency and costs, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the swing arm assembly 120.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the seasoning module further includes: a first feeding component 140, which is at least partially disposed within the swing arm assembly 120, and the output end of the first feeding component 140 is located at the end of the swing arm assembly 120 away from the support member 110.

[0045] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the seasoning module is further provided. The seasoning module may also include a first feeding component 140. During cooking, the base body 121 of the swing arm component 120 rotates horizontally around the support member 110, driving the swing arm 122 to move towards the target burner 2120. At this time, the first feeding component 140 of the seasoning module is activated, and the seasoning is conveyed through the internal channel of the first feeding component 140, and finally flows out from the output end located at the end of the swing arm component 120 away from the support member 110, accurately injecting into the corresponding burner 2120. After completing the seasoning delivery to the burner 2120, the base body 121 continues to rotate, driving the swing arm 122 to switch positions, and the first feeding component 140 cooperates synchronously to deliver seasoning to another burner 2120. The first feeding component 140 partially integrates the swing arm component 120 and can move with the swing arm component 120. The step-by-step movement avoids tangling and damage caused by exposed material conveying pipes, ensuring stable seasoning delivery and reducing the risk of malfunction. The output end of the first material conveying component 140 is located at the end of the swing arm component 120 away from the support 110, allowing it to precisely approach the target burner 2120 with the swing arm 122, reducing spillage during seasoning delivery and improving feeding accuracy. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a separate material conveying component for each burner 2120, reducing the number of components and pipe layout, lowering costs, and simplifying the overall structure of the equipment to meet the high-efficiency cooking needs of multiple burners 2120.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the seasoning module further includes a second feeding component 150, a portion of which is disposed within the support member 110, and the output end of the second feeding component 150 extends out through the support member 110.

[0047] In this technical solution, the seasoning module may further include a second conveying component 150. During cooking, the support 110 is fixed to the equipment tabletop 2110, and the seasoning can be conveyed through the channel of the second conveying component 150 inside the support 110, flowing out from its output end extending from the support 110 to replenish the high-frequency seasoning for the corresponding burner head 2120. The second conveying component 150 is fixed and does not rotate, and part of it is built into the support 110, avoiding the influence of rotating parts on the stability of the conveying, reducing pipeline wear, ensuring continuous and reliable high-frequency seasoning delivery, and reducing maintenance frequency and cost.

[0048] It is understood that the first material conveying assembly 140 or the second material conveying assembly 150 can be arranged separately, or the first material conveying assembly 140 and the second material conveying assembly 150 can be arranged simultaneously.

[0049] When the first feeding component 140 is set up independently, at least part of it is placed inside the swing arm component 120. It can rotate horizontally with the swing arm component 120 to flexibly align with different burner heads 2120 to feed seasonings. There is no need to configure a separate feeding structure for each burner head 2120, reducing the number of components and pipeline costs. Moreover, the output end is located at the end of the swing arm component 120 away from the support member 110, which can accurately approach the burner head 2120, reducing the risk of seasoning spillage, adapting to the flexible feeding needs of multiple burner heads 2120, and simplifying the overall layout of the equipment.

[0050] When the second feeding assembly 150 is set up separately, part of it is placed inside the support member 110 and fixed without rotating, avoiding interference from rotating parts on the feeding stability, ensuring continuous and reliable seasoning delivery, and reducing pipeline wear and maintenance costs. Its output end extends out of the support member 110, which can stably deliver high-frequency seasonings to the corresponding burner head 2120 without frequent position adjustments. The structure is simple and easy to install, and can meet the stable feeding requirements of a single or fixed burner head 2120, reducing the complexity of equipment design. Therefore, in this embodiment, the swing arm assembly 120 can be eliminated to simplify the structure.

[0051] When the first conveying component 140 and the second conveying component 150 are arranged simultaneously, complementary functions and efficient cooperation can be achieved: the first conveying component 140 rotates with the swing arm component 120, flexibly covering multiple burners 2120 to deliver various seasonings; the second conveying component 150 is fixed to the support component 110, stably supplying high-frequency seasonings and reducing the swing frequency of the swing arm component 120. In this embodiment, for seasonings with low usage and / or low usage frequency, such as soy sauce and oyster sauce, they can be placed in the first conveying component 140 to avoid interference with feeding caused by excessively high swing frequency with the swing arm component 120, or causing other burners to wait too long for feeding; while for seasonings with high usage and / or high usage frequency, such as oil, water, and starch, they can be placed in the second conveying component 150. The two have a clear division of labor, avoiding motion interference. This eliminates the need for additional material feeding structures, improves the seasoning supply efficiency of the multi-burner 2120, reduces component redundancy costs, and ensures material feeding stability and flexibility, adapting to the efficient meal serving needs of complex cooking scenarios.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible implementation, the second material conveying assembly 150 includes a plurality of input interfaces 151 for connecting to the material conveying pipe, at least two of the input interfaces 151 having different lengths, such that at least a portion of the input interfaces 151 are arranged in a protruding manner.

[0053] This technical solution further provides the structural composition of the second feeding assembly 150. Among the multiple input interfaces 151 of the second feeding assembly 150, at least two are of different lengths and partially protruding. The protruding input interfaces 151 are used to connect to seasoning tubes that are prone to slippage during long-term use, such as oil pipes. The protruding arrangement increases the contact area between the seasoning tube and the input interface 151, enhances the friction and fit during connection, and effectively prevents the input interface 151 from loosening or the pipe from slipping due to long-term insertion and removal or seasoning corrosion. This ensures the continuous stability of seasoning delivery and reduces seasoning leakage and cooking interruption caused by pipe detachment.

[0054] In this technical solution, the different lengths of the input interfaces 151 create a clear visual difference. Operators can quickly distinguish the corresponding seasoning types by whether the input interface 151 protrudes or not, without relying on additional labels or checking one by one. Especially in high-frequency cooking scenarios with multiple burners 2120, this can shorten the identification time for pipe installation and replacement, and reduce the risk of misconnection. At the same time, the protruding input interface 151 is easier to hold and align with the pipe, improving the convenience of plugging and unplugging operations, reducing operational jams caused by flush interfaces, and improving equipment maintenance and usage efficiency.

[0055] In this technical solution, the dual-feeding assembly includes multiple input interfaces 151 for connecting to different feeding pipelines. It can simultaneously connect to different feeding pipelines, enabling independent delivery of various seasonings (such as water, oil, and starch slurry) without frequent pipeline replacements. This adapts to the diverse seasoning supply needs of multi-burner 2120 cooking. Furthermore, each input interface 151 operates independently, preventing cross-contamination of different seasonings, ensuring the purity of the feed, simplifying the pipeline layout for multiple seasoning delivery, reducing equipment structural complexity, and improving seasoning supply efficiency and reliability.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the support member 110 has a hollow structure, and at least a portion of the second material conveying assembly 150 is disposed within the support member 110. This configuration allows the hollow structure of the support member 110 to house a portion of the second material conveying assembly 150, preventing the material conveying pipeline from being exposed, reducing the external space occupied by the unloading module, making the overall structure more compact, adaptable to the limited installation space in a kitchen, and simplifying the layout of the equipment countertop 2110, avoiding operational obstacles caused by cluttered pipelines.

[0057] like Figure 3As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the first conveying assembly 140 includes: a first conveying pipe 141, a portion of which is disposed within the support member 110 and then extends through the first base 1210 into the swing arm 122; and a first nozzle 142 connected to the swing arm 122, with the output end of the first conveying pipe 141 connected to the first nozzle 142. This arrangement reduces the exposed length of the first conveying pipe 141, minimizing damage from external oil stains and collisions, preventing condiment leakage due to pipe displacement or breakage, and ensuring the stability of condiment delivery. Furthermore, the first nozzle 142 moves synchronously with the swing arm 122, allowing it to precisely align with the target burner head 2120 as the swing arm 122 rotates, thus coordinating with the directional conveying of the first conveying pipe 141 to reduce condiment spillage and improve feeding accuracy. Simultaneously, the concealed pipe arrangement simplifies the structural layout, reduces space occupation, and lowers the difficulty of cleaning exposed pipes, adapting to the efficient operation requirements of multi-burner cooking scenarios 2120.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the unloading module further includes a connector 170, which passes through the support member 110, the cantilever assembly 130, and the mounting plate 124 to connect the support member 110, the cantilever assembly 130, and the mounting plate 124; wherein, the base body 121 of the first base 1210 has an oblong hole 127 or an elongated hole, and the connector 170 passes through the oblong hole 127 or the elongated hole.

[0059] In this technical solution, the material cutting module also includes a connector 170. The connector 170 passes through the support 110, the cantilever assembly 130, and the first base 1210, achieving a stable connection between the three, meeting the requirements of modular assembly, and facilitating individual disassembly and maintenance of each component without the need to disassemble the entire material cutting module, thus reducing operational difficulty. Simultaneously, the base body 121 engages with the connector 170 through an oblong hole 127 or a long hole, which neither affects the rotation of the base body 121 around the support 110 nor restricts its displacement stroke through the hole structure, preventing movement deviations caused by loose component connections.

[0060] In this technical solution, the length and shape of the waist-shaped hole 127 or the elongated hole can limit the movement range of the connector 170, thereby determining the rotation angle of the base body 121, preventing the base body 121 from rotating excessively and colliding with other components (such as the cantilever assembly 130 and the furnace head 2120), ensuring the accuracy of the action of the swing arm assembly 120 when switching the furnace head 2120 in the second direction, avoiding the deviation of the seasoning conveying or equipment damage caused by the loss of stroke control, and improving the operational stability of the feeding module.

[0061] It is understandable that when the swing arm assembly 120 is activated, the base body 121 of the swing arm assembly 120 will rotate relative to the mounting plate 124, and the mounting plate 124 is fixedly connected to the support member 110.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the cantilever assembly 130 further includes: a second base 131 connected to the support member 110; a cantilever 132 connected to the second base 131, with adjacent cantilever 132 arranged at intervals; and a drive assembly 133 connected to the second base 131 and the cantilever 132, for driving the cantilever 132 to swing along the height direction of the unloading module.

[0063] This technical solution further provides the structural composition of the cantilever assembly 130, which may include a second base 131 and a drive assembly 133. The second base 131 connects to the support member 110 to provide a stable mounting foundation for the cantilever 132. The drive assembly 133 is directly connected to the second base 131 and the cantilever 132, enabling precise power transmission and driving the cantilever 132 to swing stably along the height direction of the feeding module. This prevents the cantilever 132 from shaking, which could cause the stirring assembly 2130 to scrape the vegetables incompletely or stir-fry unevenly, ensuring precise and controllable cooking actions and improving the quality of the finished dish. Adjacent cantilever 132s are arranged at intervals, each corresponding to a different burner 2120. With the independent drive of the drive assembly 133, multiple burners 2120 can be driven simultaneously for stir-frying or serving, eliminating the need for frequent switching of individual cantilever 132s and significantly improving the cooking efficiency of multiple burners 2120. Meanwhile, the modular design of the second base 131 and the support 110 facilitates the overall disassembly and maintenance of the cantilever assembly 130, reduces equipment maintenance costs, and optimizes the adaptability of the multi-burner 2120 cooking scenario.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the drive assembly 133 includes: a drive member 1331 disposed within the second base 131; a transmission member 1332 connected to the second base 131; the output end of the drive member 1331 connected to the transmission member 1332; and the output end of the transmission member 1332 connected to the cantilever 132. The number of drive members 1331 and transmission members 1332 is adapted to the number of cantilever 132.

[0065] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the drive assembly 133 is further provided. The drive assembly 133 may include a drive component 1331 and a transmission component 1332. The drive component 1331 is built into the second base 131, which can prevent external oil stains and seasonings from corroding the drive component 1331 and extending its service life. The transmission component 1332 connects the second base 131 and the cantilever 132, which can stably transmit the power of the drive component 1331 to the cantilever 132, ensuring that the cantilever 132 swings accurately in the height direction, avoiding deviations in stir-frying or scraping actions caused by power transmission loss, and ensuring the reliability of cooking operations. The number of drive components 1331 and transmission components 1332 is adapted to the number of swing arms 122, so that a combination of a single drive component 1331 and transmission component 1332 can drive one cantilever 132, allowing each cantilever 132 to move independently, avoiding motion interference or insufficient power problems caused by multiple cantilever 132 sharing a single drive structure. The coordinated operation of multiple drive structures can meet the needs of simultaneous stir-frying and serving of dishes in the multi-burner 2120, further improving the cooking efficiency of the multi-burner 2120, while simplifying the troubleshooting process and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the feeding module further includes a receiving box 160, which is connected to the support member 110 and located below the swing arm assembly 120. This arrangement allows the receiving box 160 to collect condensate and residual seasonings dripping from the swing arm assembly 120 during seasoning delivery, preventing liquids or seasonings from dripping onto the cooking equipment countertop 2110, thus preventing dirt and bacterial growth, reducing cleaning workload, and improving the hygiene of the equipment. Simultaneously, the receiving box 160 is fixed to the support member 110, requiring no additional space on the countertop 2110, and its position corresponds to the movement range of the swing arm assembly 120, fully covering the dripping area and ensuring a protective effect, further optimizing the practicality of the feeding module and the cleanliness of the kitchen operating environment.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, in one feasible embodiment, the receiving box 160 of the feeding module includes an extension that extends between two adjacent burners 2120. This arrangement covers the dripping area when the swing arm assembly 120 feeds the two burners 2120, as well as any seasonings or condensation that may splash onto the burners 2120 during cooking. This prevents liquids or residues from dripping into the gaps of the countertop 2110 or around the burners 2120, thus preventing dirt and bacterial growth on the countertop 2110 and reducing cleaning workload. Simultaneously, there is no need to add an additional receiving structure between the two burners 2120, saving equipment space and component costs. Furthermore, the extension does not affect the normal heating of the burners 2120 or the operation of the cantilever assembly 130, ensuring the continuity of simultaneous cooking by multiple burners 2120 and improving equipment hygiene and space utilization.

[0068] In one feasible embodiment, an annular groove is formed on the support member 110, and the receiving box 160 is connected to the support member 110 through the annular groove.

[0069] In this technical solution, the support component 110 is connected to the receiving box 160 via an annular groove. This allows for quick and easy positioning and installation of the receiving box 160, preventing positional misalignment during assembly and ensuring precise alignment of the receiving box 160 with the dripping area below the swing arm assembly 120, thus guaranteeing effective material collection. Furthermore, the annular groove structure facilitates flexible assembly and disassembly of the receiving box 160 along the groove, eliminating the need for complex disassembly steps when cleaning residual seasonings or condensate from the receiving box 160, improving maintenance convenience. Simultaneously, the annular connection provides stability, preventing the receiving box 160 from shaking and falling off during equipment operation, without occupying additional space on the table 2110, further optimizing the structural compactness and practicality of the unloading module. Moreover, the receiving box 160 can rotate relative to the support component 110 via the annular groove, allowing for flexible position adjustment to accommodate different rotation positions of the swing arm assembly 120 and ensuring comprehensive collection of residual seasonings and condensate. Rotation adjustment requires no disassembly, making operation convenient and further enhancing the flexibility and protective effect of the receiving box 160.

[0070] In one feasible implementation, the second direction is horizontal, and the first direction is either the height direction of the support member 110 or the longitudinal direction of the support member 110. For example, when the support member 110 is columnar, the first direction can be the axial direction of the support member 110. With this configuration, the first direction is the longitudinal direction of the support member 110, and the second direction is horizontal. These two directions are perpendicular or nearly perpendicular and do not intersect, which avoids interference between the cantilever assembly 130 (swinging longitudinally along its height) and the swing arm assembly 120 (rotating horizontally), ensuring independent and smooth movement of both types of components. The horizontal direction allows the swing arm assembly 120 to quickly cover at least two burner heads 2120 to deliver seasonings, while the height direction allows the cantilever assembly 130 to precisely control the stir-frying depth or scraping distance. Combined with the integrated layout of the support member 110, this improves the cooking efficiency of multiple burner heads 2120, simplifies the equipment structure, reduces space occupation, and adapts to the high-efficiency operation requirements of catering scenarios.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a cooking device is provided according to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, including: a feeding module as described in any of the above technical solutions; a cooking device body 2100, wherein the feeding module is disposed on the cooking device body 2100.

[0072] The cooking device provided in this application includes the feeding module of any of the above technical solutions, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the feeding module of the above technical solutions, which will not be elaborated here.

[0073] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in one feasible implementation, the cooking device body 2100 includes: a countertop 2110 and a burner 2120 disposed on the countertop 2110, the feeding module and the burner 2120 form a cooking unit, and the cooking device includes at least two cooking units.

[0074] In this technical solution, the countertop 2110 of the main body 2100 of the cooking equipment provides a stable installation foundation for the burner 2120 and the food dispensing module. The two form an independent cooking unit, and the equipment contains at least two cooking units, enabling simultaneous cooking of multiple dishes, significantly shortening the food preparation time and meeting the rapid food preparation needs of catering scenarios. Each cooking unit operates independently, handling different cooking processes separately, avoiding queuing and waiting when operating a single unit. It also facilitates maintenance of individual units without affecting the overall operation of the equipment, improving the flexibility and reliability of equipment use, and reducing the risk of overall downtime due to single unit failure.

[0075] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible implementation, each cooking unit has at least two cantilever arms 132, and the number of burners 2120 corresponds to the number of cantilever arms 132. This configuration, with each cooking unit having at least two cantilever arms 132 and the number of burners 2120 corresponding to the number of cantilever arms 132, enables precise operation of one cantilever arm 132 corresponding to one burner 2120. Each cantilever arm 132 can independently swing along the height of the support member 110, synchronously driving the stirring component 2130 to operate the corresponding burner 2120, avoiding the efficiency loss caused by frequent switching of a single cantilever arm 132, and significantly improving the efficiency of simultaneous cooking with multiple burners 2120. Simultaneously, the one-to-one correspondence structure reduces the deviation of the cantilever arm 132's movement, ensuring the accuracy of stir-frying and serving; if a single cantilever arm 132 fails, only the corresponding burner 2120 is affected, while the remaining units can operate normally, reducing the overall downtime risk and adapting to the efficient and stable operational needs of catering scenarios.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in one feasible implementation, each cooking unit has a support 110, at least two burners 2120 and a swing arm assembly 120. When the swing arm assembly 120 rotates along a second direction, its feeding direction can point to the area where at least two burners 2120 of the cooking unit are located.

[0077] In this technical solution, each cooking unit is equipped with one support component 110 and one swing arm assembly 120, which can serve at least two burners 2120. This eliminates the need for separate support and swing arm 122 structures for each burner 2120, significantly reducing the number of components. This design not only simplifies the overall structure of the cooking unit and reduces production and procurement costs, but also saves countertop space 2110, avoiding operational inconvenience caused by cluttered arrangement of multiple components, and adapting to the needs of compact kitchen layouts.

[0078] In this technical solution, when the swing arm assembly 120 rotates along the second direction (horizontal direction), the feeding direction can cover the area of ​​at least two burner heads 2120 in the unit. This eliminates the need for frequent disassembly or relocation of the swing arm assembly 120, allowing for rapid delivery of seasonings to different burner heads 2120. Compared to a single burner head 2120 corresponding to a single swing arm 122, this design reduces the switching time of the swing arm assembly 120. Combined with the operation mode of one cantilever 132 corresponding to one burner head 2120, it achieves efficient connection between seasoning supply, stir-frying, and serving, shortening the cycle of simultaneous cooking with multiple burner heads 2120 and improving overall serving efficiency.

[0079] In this technical solution, a single support component 110 provides a unified and stable installation base for the swing arm assembly 120, avoiding the deviation of the swing arm 122's movement caused by installation errors of multiple support components 110. This ensures that the feeding direction of the swing arm assembly 120 is accurately aligned with the burner head 2120 when it rotates, reducing seasoning spillage. Simultaneously, the design of a single swing arm assembly 120 serving multiple burner heads 2120 allows for flexible adaptation to the cooking rhythm of different burner heads 2120. It can meet diverse seasoning supply needs without adjusting the position of the support component 110, further improving the operational stability and scenario adaptability of the cooking unit.

[0080] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in one feasible implementation, at least two burners 2120 of each cooking unit are staggered along the length and / or width of the countertop.

[0081] In this technical solution, at least two burners 2120 in each cooking unit are staggered along the length and / or width of the countertop. This fully utilizes the corner space of the countertop 2110, avoids wasted space due to neatly arranged burners 2120, and improves the space utilization of the countertop 2110. Furthermore, because at least two burners 2120 are staggered along the length and / or width, some burners 2120 can be closer to the user, facilitating cooking operations on frequently used burners. In addition, the staggered layout reduces operational interference between adjacent burners 2120, improving the efficiency of parallel operation of multiple burners 2120. Moreover, the staggered arrangement accommodates cookware of different sizes, preventing overlapping and obstruction, and meets the cooking needs of diverse dishes, especially suitable for high-frequency, multi-category cooking scenarios such as fast food and snacks, enhancing the practicality of the equipment.
