[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cooking utensils, and in particular to a spatula for an intelligent cooking machine. Background Art

[0002] The spatula is an extremely important utensil in the automatic cooking process of the cooking machine. The main function of the spatula is to turn the ingredients in the wok.

[0003] When frying dishes that require thickening or the heat is too high (such as dishes that need to be stir-fried), or when the coating on the inner wall of the wok is damaged after the wok has been used for a period of time, it is easy for some ingredients to stick to the inner wall of the wok. The existing spatula is usually set to leave a fixed distance between it and the inner wall of the wok, and the spatula is driven to rotate to achieve the effect of frying the ingredients. Since the spatula cannot be adjusted to stick to the wall of the wok, it is impossible to scrape off the ingredients stuck to the inner wall of the wok in time. After a period of time, more and more ingredients stick to the inner wall of the wok, resulting in uneven heating of the remaining ingredients in the wok. The ingredients stuck to the inner wall of the wok will become more and more stubborn due to continuous heating and produce a burnt smell, which directly affects the taste of the fried dishes. At the same time, it increases the difficulty and time of cleaning the wok, and the efficiency of the frying machine for continuous frying of dishes is reduced accordingly. Technical issues

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] The main improvement of the spatula of the present invention is that the distance between the spatula head 2 and the inner wall of the wok 1 is automatically adjusted by a mechanical control component, so that the spatula head 2 is kept in close contact with the inner wall of the wok 1 while the food is automatically stir-fried, thereby effectively preventing the food from sticking to the inner wall of the wok 1 and promptly scraping off the food residue that has stuck to the inner wall of the wok 1; after the food is fried, the mechanical control component drives the spatula head 2 away from the inner wall of the wok 1, making it easy to clean the wok 1.

[0025] In addition, since the coating on the inner wall of the wok 1 is easily damaged at high temperatures, the wok 1 needs to be replaced frequently, which greatly increases the production cost of the wok 1. The spatula of the present invention can always be kept in close contact with the inner wall of the wok to prevent food from sticking. Therefore, the inner wall of the wok 1 does not need to be coated, thereby reducing the production and replacement costs of the wok 1.

[0026] The spatula of the present invention is used in an intelligent cooking machine. The wok 1 is installed in the furnace core (not shown in the figure) of the cooking machine. The furnace core also includes a heating component (not shown in the figure) for providing heat to the wok 1 and a rotating motor arranged under the wok 1 and used to drive the wok 1 to rotate. The spatula is detachably installed in the wok 1.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the spatula includes the spatula head 2, a mechanical control component and a rotating base 3.

[0028] 1. Shovel head 2

[0029] As shown in FIG1 and FIG2 , the shovel head 2 is a scraper with an arc-shaped front side, which is preferably made of polytetrafluoroethylene.

[0030] The middle part of the inner end of the shovel head 2 is connected to the mechanical control component, and it is driven by the mechanical control component to rotate relative to the wok 1 to stir-fry the ingredients in the wok 1; when stir-frying, the mechanical control component drives the shovel head 2 to move forward from the initial position toward the inner wall of the wok 1 (front: refers to the direction away from the center line of the wok 1; rear: refers to the direction close to the center line of the wok 1, the same below) and cling to the inner wall of the wok 1 to scrape off the ingredients on the inner wall of the wok 1. After the food is fried, the mechanical control component drives the shovel head 2 to retract in the direction away from the inner wall of the wok 1 to return to the initial position, so that the cleaning device of the cooking machine can smoothly wash away the residue scraped on the inner wall of the wok 1.

[0031] In order to make the shovel head 2 fit seamlessly with the inner wall of the wok 1, the curvature of the outer edge of the shovel head 2 is set to match the curvature of the inner wall of the wok 1 opposite to the outer edge (matching means that the curvatures of the two tend to be consistent);

[0032] Furthermore, when the outer edge of the shovel head 2 does not completely coincide with the contact portion of the inner wall of the wok 1, in order to maximize the arc length of the outer edge of the shovel head 2 in contact with the inner wall of the wok 1, the shovel head 2 can make a slight angular rotation relative to the telescopic rod 5 in the mechanical control assembly (the angular rotation is achieved by the hinge shaft connected between the shovel head 2 and the telescopic rod 5).

[0033] 2. Mechanical control components

[0034] As shown in FIG1 to FIG5 , the mechanical control assembly connects the shovel head 2 and the rotating base 3 , and the rotating base 3 is installed at the center position in the wok 1 through the shovel shaft 7 .

[0035] The following two types of mechanical control component structures are preferred.

[0036] 1) The mechanical control assembly consists of a sleeve 4, a telescopic rod 5, a piston assembly 6, and a spring 9

[0037] a. Sleeve 4

[0038] The sleeve 4 is a cylindrical structure with a central channel, and the telescopic rod 5 and the piston assembly 6 are installed in the central channel. A front hole and a rear hole are coaxially arranged at the front and rear ends of the sleeve 4 respectively.

[0039] b. Telescopic rod 5

[0040] The telescopic rod 5 is a strip-shaped rod structure. The telescopic rod 5 is coaxial with the sleeve 4 and is placed in the lower middle part of the central channel. The front end of the telescopic rod 5 passes through the front hole from back to front. The outer peripheral wall of the telescopic rod 5 contacts the hole wall of the front hole for positioning. Two clamping plates 51 extending forward and integral with the telescopic rod 5 are provided on the front end. The two clamping plates 51 are symmetrically arranged with the axis of the telescopic rod 5 as the axis. The two clamping plates 51 are respectively clamped on the front and back of the middle part of the inner end of the shovel head 2 and are connected together by the hinge shaft.

[0041] The piston assembly 6 is provided at the rear of the telescopic rod 5, wherein the plug rod 62 is used to apply a forward thrust to the telescopic rod 5, thereby causing the telescopic rod 5 and the shovel head 2 to move forward from the initial position. In order to limit the forward movement distance of the telescopic rod 5, two axisymmetric limit steps are provided at the upper rear portion of the outer peripheral wall of the telescopic rod 5. The limit steps can abut against the periphery of the front hole to prevent the telescopic rod 5 from moving further forward.

[0042] c. Spring 9

[0043] In order to enable the telescopic rod 5 to automatically move backward from the position close to the inner wall of the frying pan 1 to return to the initial position, the spring 9 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the telescopic rod 5. In order to stably install the spring 9, the rear end of the telescopic rod 5 has an annular column extending in the radial direction. The rear end of the spring 9 abuts the front surface of the annular column, and the front end of the spring 9 abuts the periphery of the front hole in the central channel. When the plug rod 62 pushes the telescopic rod 5 forward, the spring 9 is compressed as the telescopic rod 5 moves forward. When the telescopic rod 5 is no longer pushed by the plug rod 62, the telescopic rod 5 moves backward and returns to its original position under the elastic action of the spring 9.

[0044] d. Piston assembly 6

[0045] The piston assembly 6 includes a plug cylinder 61 and the plug rod 62 .

[0046] The plug barrel 61 is a cylinder having a hollow inner cavity. A front plug hole and a rear plug hole are respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the plug barrel 61, which are coaxial with the plug barrel 61 and communicate with the inner cavity. External threads are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the plug barrel 61. The plug barrel 61 is coaxial with the sleeve 4, with the front half of the plug barrel 61 placed in the sleeve 4 and threadedly connected therewith. The rear half of the plug barrel 61 is placed in the gas nozzle tube 31 of the rotating seat 3 and the plug barrel 61 is coaxial with the gas nozzle tube 31. Internal threads are correspondingly provided on the inner wall of the gas nozzle tube 31. The plug barrel 61 and the gas nozzle tube 31 are threadedly connected and fixed. The rear end face of the sleeve 4 is in sealing contact with the front end face of the gas nozzle tube 31.

[0047] The plug rod 62 is installed in the cavity, with its rear end abutting against the inner surface of the rear end of the plug tube 61, and its front end passing through the front plug hole. A spring is also sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the plug rod 62.

[0048] In order to enable the plug rod 62 to be accurately positioned on the rear end surface of the telescopic rod 5, a forward concave push groove is opened in the central area of ​​the rear end surface of the telescopic rod 5, and the front end of the plug rod 62 is adapted to be inserted into the push groove;

[0049] The present invention pushes the plug rod 62 through the air pressure generated by the cylinder (the specific installation method is described in the "4. Spatula Rotating Shaft 7" section), causing it to move forward along the axial direction of the plug tube 61, thereby pushing the telescopic rod 5 forward, so that the shovel head 2 moves forward and always adheres to the inner wall of the frying pan 1; when the cylinder stops inflating, the compressed spring 9 on the plug rod 62 and the telescopic rod 5 and the elastic force generated by the spring cause the corresponding plug rod 62 and the telescopic rod 5 to move backward, thereby completing the reset.

[0050] 2) The mechanical control assembly consists of a sleeve 4, a telescopic rod 5, an electromagnet assembly, and a spring 9 (not shown in the figure)

[0051] The structure, installation method and function of the sleeve 4, telescopic rod 5 and spring 9 in this structure are the same as those of the sleeve 4, telescopic rod 5 and spring 9 in the above "1)", and will not be repeated here.

[0052] The electromagnet assembly includes a coil seat and an iron core.

[0053] The front half of the coil seat is fixedly mounted on the upper part of the central channel of the sleeve 4, and the rear half of the coil seat is fixedly connected to the air nozzle tube 31; the iron core is mounted in the coil seat, and the rear end of the iron core is placed in the push groove of the telescopic rod 5.

[0054] When the coil seat is energized, the iron core is pushed forward, thereby pushing the telescopic rod 5 and the shovel head 2 forward. When the coil seat is de-energized, the iron core retracts backward, and the telescopic rod 5 also moves to its initial position.

[0055] In order to prevent the magnetic field generated by the heating component from causing magnetic interference to the coil seat and the iron core when electromagnetic heating is adopted, a magnetic shield is provided on the coil seat.

[0056] The routing of the control harness on the coil seat is described in the section "4. Spatula Rotating Shaft 7".

[0057] 3. Rotating seat 3

[0058] The rotating seat 3 is used to rotate the mechanical control component and the shovel head 2 under the drive of the spatula rotating shaft 7.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 , the rotating seat 3 is divided into a rotating cylinder 32 and the air nozzle tube 31 of an integrated structure.

[0060] The rotating drum 32 is a cylinder with an axial through hole, and the air nozzle tube 31 is connected to the axial through hole. The air nozzle tube 31 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the rotating drum 32 and its opening faces the inner wall of the wok 1. The air nozzle tube 31 can be directed toward the inner wall of the wok 1 corresponding to different heights by setting the inclination degree of the air nozzle tube 31 on the rotating drum 32.

[0061] The rotating drum 32 is arranged vertically, and is sleeved on the outer side of the upper shaft 71 of the spatula rotating shaft 7 which is arranged coaxially therewith and is detachably connected to the upper shaft 71 by means of a screw connection, so that the rotating base 3 can be conveniently and quickly removed for cleaning or maintenance of the entire spatula; the upper shaft 71 can transmit the power of the spatula's driving motor to the rotating base 3, so that the rotating base 3 and the spatula head 2 can rotate relative to the wok 1 around the center line of the wok 1.

[0062] In order to enable the shovel head 2 to comprehensively scrape off food stuck on the inner wall of the wok 1, a plurality of air nozzle tubes 31 can be provided on the rotating drum 32 as needed. All air nozzle tubes 31 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating drum 32. The same set of mechanical control components and shovel heads 2 are connected to each air nozzle tube 31 (one shovel head 2 and one mechanical control component constitutes a set). In addition, the degree of inclination of each air nozzle tube 31 is different, so that the multiple shovel heads 2 are spaced apart or partially overlapped in the height direction. As a result, food stuck in areas corresponding to different heights on the inner wall of the wok 1 can be scraped off by the corresponding shovel heads 2.

[0063] 4. Spatula shaft 7

[0064] As shown in FIG. 2 , FIG. 3 , FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the spatula shaft 7 is divided into two sections: the upper shaft 71 and the lower shaft 72 .

[0065] The upper shaft 71 is disposed in the wok 1 and is located at the center of the bottom of the wok 1. The upper portion of the upper shaft 71 is inserted into the axial through hole of the rotating drum 32 and is screwed and fixed. The lower portion of the upper shaft 71 is connected to the base 11 via a bearing. The base 11 is detachably and sealedly mounted on the bottom of the wok 1.

[0066] The lower shaft 72 is coaxially arranged with the upper shaft 71, and both have a central channel communicating with each other, and the central channel of the upper shaft 71 is communicated with the air nozzle tube 31; the upper end of the lower shaft 72 is upwardly penetrated into the central channel of the upper shaft 71, and the connection therebetween is detachable and installed, and the lower end of the lower shaft 72 is downwardly passed through the center hole at the bottom of the wok 1 and extends downward, and the lower end is sleeved with a gear disk, and the gear fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor is engaged with the outside of the gear disk; since the upper shaft 71 and the lower shaft 72 are detachably connected, the upper shaft 71 and the spatula can be detached from the wok 1 as a whole by removing the base 11, thereby facilitating the replacement of the wok 1.

[0067] The following is how the cylinder is installed when the mechanical control assembly consists of a sleeve 4, a telescopic rod 5, a piston assembly 6 and a spring 9:

[0068] As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, a pneumatic slip ring 8 is provided at the lower portion of the lower shaft 72. The lower portion is inserted into the inner cavity of the pneumatic slip ring 8 and fixedly connected. A circular air inlet 81 communicating with the inner cavity is provided on the outer wall of the pneumatic slip ring 8. An air outlet channel 82 is also provided on the inner circumferential wall of the pneumatic slip ring 8. The air outlet channel 82 is a circular groove in a closed loop shape along the inner circumferential wall opposite to the air inlet 81. Correspondingly, an air inlet hole 73 communicating with the central air channel (i.e., the central channel) is provided on the outer circumferential wall of the lower shaft 72 at a position opposite to the air outlet channel 82.

[0069] The cylinder is installed in the stove core and is located below the wok 1. The opening and closing of the cylinder is controlled according to cooking needs. After the cylinder is started, the compressed air inside it enters the air outlet channel 82, the air inlet 73, the intermediate air channel and each air nozzle tube 31 in sequence through the air inlet 81. The air pressure generated by the compressed air in the air nozzle tube 31 pushes the corresponding plug rod 62 forward, and the plug rod 62 pushes the corresponding telescopic rod 5 and the shovel head 2 forward, so that the shovel head 2 is always close to the inner wall of the wok 1.

[0070] When the mechanical control assembly consists of the sleeve 4, the telescopic rod 5, the electromagnet assembly and the spring 9, the routing of the control harness of the electromagnet assembly is as follows:

[0071] A conductive slip ring is fixedly connected to the lower portion of the lower shaft 72 , and the control wire harness is led out from the hollow channel (ie, the central channel) and connected to the inner ring of the conductive slip ring. Modes for Carrying Out the Invention
