The existing dish frying machine generally needs to put prepared materials into a pot body at one time, and then stir-fry the materials according to a preset program. That is, the existing cooker adopts the mode of electric cooker and stirring to fry the materials. The frying mode is only suitable for dishes which are relatively simple in making processes such as stewing and boiling, and the required materials cannot be automatically put into the pot body according to different cooking stages of the dishes.

In order to solve the technical problem, the embodiment of the invention provides a cooker. Fig. 1 to 3 show schematic structural diagrams of a cooker provided by an embodiment of the invention.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooker, including: the cooking device comprises a controller, and a cooking device and a feeding device which are in communication connection with the controller. The feeding device comprises a feeding base 11, and a feeding mechanism and a conveying mechanism which are in power connection. The charging mechanism is located on a first side of the charging base 11. The charging base 11 is provided with a charging port 12. The feeding mechanism comprises a plurality of material boxes 13 and push rod mechanisms which are connected with the material boxes 13 in a one-to-one correspondence manner. The conveying mechanism is used for conveying a plurality of cartridges 13 to the vicinity of the feed port 12 at corresponding timings under the control of the controller. The push rod mechanism is used for overturning the corresponding material box 13 which reaches the vicinity of the feed opening 12 under the control of the controller so as to enable the material in the corresponding material box 13 to enter the cooking device through the feed opening 12.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 1, the controller may be a controller in a broad sense, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. Different parameter values are preset in the controller. The preset parameter values may specifically include stir-frying time of different dishes, time intervals for adding different materials, size information of each material box 13, and temperature data and time data of different dishes stir-fried by the cooking device.

In an alternative way, with reference to fig. 1, the loading base 11 and the cartridge 13 can be made of materials that are food-safe, resistant to high temperatures and poorly heat-conductive. For example: the charging base 11 and the cartridge 13 can be made of PC plastic or HDPE plastic. The material of the charging base 11 and the material box 13 is specific, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

In an alternative form, referring to figure 1, the top of the loading base 11 is recessed downwardly to form a guide channel. The feeding mechanism is arranged on the top of the feeding base 11. The plurality of magazines 13 in the charging mechanism may be distributed in the guiding direction of the guide groove. The transfer mechanism may be disposed within the guide slot. The feeding base 11 is provided with a feeding hole 12, the feeding hole 12 can be positioned at a second side of the feeding base 11 opposite to the guide groove, and the feeding hole 12 is communicated with a pot body 23 in the cooking device. The shape of the feed inlet 12 can be any shape, and the material can pass through the feed inlet. When the conveying mechanism conveys the corresponding material box 13 to the position above the feeding hole 12, the push rod mechanism in power connection with the material box 13 enables the material box 13 to turn over, so that the materials in the material box 13 enter the pot body 23 in the cooking device through the feeding hole 12.

In an alternative way, with reference to fig. 2, each magazine 13 may have an outlet to facilitate the pouring of the material in the magazine 13 to the inlet 12. For example: the magazine 13 may include five sides, front, rear, left, right and bottom. The front side is the side of the magazine 13 facing the inlet. Wherein the height of the front side of magazine 13 may be slightly lower than the height of the rear side of magazine 13. The left, right and rear sides of the magazine 13 are perpendicular to the bottom side of the magazine 13. The front side of the magazine 13 and the bottom side of the magazine 13 have an angle of more than 90 degrees and less than 150 degrees. When the charging device is in the initial state, the discharge hole of each magazine 13 faces upwards. Based on this, when each material box 13 is turned over, the materials in the material boxes 13 can be poured into the feeding hole 12 completely under the action of gravity.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 3, the material contained in the above-mentioned cartridge 13 can be different food materials and seasonings. For example: vegetables, meat, seafood, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, vinegar, but not limited thereto. Each of the cartridges 13 may contain only one of food materials or seasonings. Of course, a plurality of food materials or seasonings can be placed in each magazine 13 at the same time and in the same time period in the pot 23. The food materials can be arranged in sequence from left to right according to the difficulty degree of the food materials being fried. That is, the pod 13 holding the hardest food material may be placed on the leftmost side. For example: the food materials are sorted from left to right according to the sequence of meat (or seafood), vegetables and the like. At this time, the first to reach above the feed opening 12 is the leftmost cartridge 13 on the loading base 11.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 4, the number of the above-mentioned cartridges 13 can be designed according to the number of food materials and the number of seasonings required for the dishes to be fried. The size of the material box 13 can be designed according to the specification of dishes to be fried. Each pod 13 may be arranged and configured in any suitable manner, as long as it is capable of holding food material and condiments. For example: the magazine 13 may be of other shapes, such as cubic, cylindrical, etc.

Referring to fig. 5, based on the above structure, before the dish is fried, all the material boxes 13 are placed on the feeding base 11, and the discharge hole of each material box 13 faces upwards. Different materials are respectively put into the corresponding material boxes 13 according to the cooking sequence. When the materials need to be added in the process of frying dishes, the conveying mechanism conveys each material box 13 to the position above the feeding hole 12 at corresponding time under the control of the controller. After each magazine 13 reaches above the feed port 12, the magazine 13 is turned over by a push rod mechanism in power connection with each magazine 13 under the control of the controller. At this time, the discharge port of the corresponding magazine 13 is inclined downward. Under the action of gravity, the materials in the corresponding material box 13 slide downwards along the bottom side surface and the front side surface of the material box 13 and enter the pot body 23 of the cooking device through the feed inlet 12. After the corresponding material box 13 finishes feeding, under the control of the controller, the push rod mechanism in power connection with the corresponding material box 13 enables the corresponding material box 13 to recover to the state before feeding. The transport mechanism, under the control of the controller, drives the magazine 13 to continue moving to the left. Meanwhile, the conveying mechanism drives the next material box 13 to move to the upper part of the feeding hole 12, and repeats the previous operation steps, which are not described in detail herein.

Referring to fig. 5, it can be seen from the above application process that, compared with the prior art that all the materials are poured into the pot body 23 at the same time, the material can be automatically poured into the pot body 23 of the cooking device according to the cooking time of different materials. The frying machine can be used for frying various dishes of different types.

As a possible implementation, with reference to fig. 1, the charging mechanism also comprises a mobile carriage 14 in powered connection with the transfer mechanism. The moving frame 14 includes a moving frame 14 body and a connecting shaft. The connecting shaft is used for rotatably fixing the plurality of magazines 13 on the moving rack 14 body along the conveying direction of the plurality of magazines 13.

In an alternative manner, referring to fig. 1, the mobile frame 14 may be made of a material that is food safe, high temperature resistant, and has poor thermal conductivity. For example: the movable frame 14 may be made of other materials such as PC plastic or HDPE plastic. The material of the movable frame 14 is specific, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto.

In an alternative way, with reference to fig. 1, the bottom of the body of the mobile frame 14 is connected to the top of the loading base 11. The extension direction of the moving rack 14 may coincide with the extension direction of the charging base 11. The body of the moving frame 14 may have a plurality of partitions disposed along the extending direction of the moving frame 14. The partitions are distributed at intervals on the top of the body of the movable frame 14. And an accommodating space is formed between every two adjacent partition plates. Each magazine 13 is arranged in a respective housing space. Each push rod mechanism is arranged on the corresponding partition plate. Each partition plate can be provided with an arc-shaped groove, and the push rod mechanism moves along the arc-shaped groove on the corresponding partition plate under the control of the controller. At this time, the pusher mechanism, which is in power connection with the corresponding magazine 13, causes the magazine 13 to turn around the connecting shaft. Based on this, the discharge port of the corresponding material box 13 is inclined downwards, and under the action of gravity, the materials in the corresponding material box 13 slide downwards along the bottom side surface and the front side surface of the material box 13 and enter the pot body 23 of the cooking device through the feed port 12.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 1 and 5, the extension direction of the connecting shaft coincides with the extension direction of the moving frame 14, and the connecting shaft penetrates through each partition plate of the moving frame 14. The connecting shaft may be a columnar rod structure, and the rod structure is a generalized rod structure and is not specifically limited herein. The connecting shaft can be rotatably connected with a cylindrical through groove formed in the bottom side surface of each magazine, so that when the push rod mechanism drives the corresponding magazine 13 to overturn, the through groove in the corresponding magazine 13 can rotate around the rotating shaft. The surface of the connecting shaft may have a smooth surface to reduce the coefficient of friction of each magazine 13 during rotation about the connecting shaft.

As a possible implementation, referring to fig. 5, the transmission mechanism comprises a first power source 15 and a first transmission mechanism in power connection. The first power source 15 is in communication with the controller. The first transmission mechanism is in power connection with the movable rack 14 and is used for driving the movable rack 14 to move along the conveying direction of the plurality of material boxes 13.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 1, the first power source 15 may be fixedly mounted in a guide groove provided in the charging base 11. The first power source 15 may be a servo motor, or may be other pneumatic or hydraulic power sources. It should be understood that the first power source 15 may be other power sources, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in this regard.

In an alternative way, with reference to fig. 5, a photoelectric sensor may be provided on the first transmission mechanism to detect whether the respective cartridge 13 reaches above the feed inlet 12. Of course, other types of sensors may be used, and are not limited in this regard. Meanwhile, the photoelectric sensor can also be used for detecting the specific position of the movable rack 14 on the charging base 11, so that the position of the corresponding material box 13 can be judged more accurately. The type and number of the photoelectric sensors may be selected according to actual conditions, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present invention. For example: the number of the photoelectric sensors can be two, and the feeding device can be prevented from continuously working after one photoelectric sensor is damaged.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 5, the first transmission may be a linear transmission. The specific structure of the first transmission mechanism can be selected according to actual conditions, and is exemplified below.

In one example, referring to fig. 5, the first transmission may be a lead screw nut linear transmission. The screw rod nut linear motion mechanism comprises a screw rod and a nut in threaded connection with the screw rod. The nut may be fixedly attached to the body of the mobile frame 14. When the first power source 15 is a servo motor, the output shaft of the first power source 15 is in power connection with the lead screw. When the moving frame 14 needs to move, the controller controls the first power source 15 according to the size parameter of the corresponding material box 13, so that the screw rod rotates for a corresponding number of turns, the nut moves for a corresponding distance along the screw rod, the moving frame 14 connected with the nut is driven to move for a corresponding distance, and the corresponding material box 13 reaches the upper part of the feeding hole 12.

In one example, referring to fig. 5, the first transmission may be a linear guide transmission. The linear guide rail can be provided with a rack structure. The linear guide rail is in power connection with the first power source 15 through a straight gear. The length of the linear guide may be equal to the length of the body of the moving frame 14. The side of the linear guide rail not provided with the rack can be fixedly connected with the moving frame 14 body. When the first power source 15 is a servo motor, the output shaft of the first power source 15 is in power connection with a spur gear. At this time, the output shaft of the first power source 15 and the linear guide are perpendicular to each other. When the moving frame 14 needs to move, the controller controls the first power source 15 according to the size parameter of the corresponding material box 13, so that the spur gear rotates for a corresponding number of turns, the linear guide rail moves for a corresponding distance, the moving frame 14 connected with the linear guide rail is driven to move for a corresponding distance, and the corresponding material box 13 reaches the upper part of the material inlet 12.

As a possible implementation manner, referring to fig. 5 to 7, the pushing rod mechanism includes a pushing rod base 16, a pressing plate 17, a second power source 18 in power connection, and a second transmission mechanism 19 in a circular arc shape. Second power source 18 is communicatively coupled to the controller. The second transmission mechanism 19 and the pressure plate 17 are arranged on the push rod base 16. One end of each second transmission mechanism 19 may have a cylindrical protrusion which is rotatably connected with an L-shaped long circular groove formed on the bottom side surface of the corresponding magazine 13. When each second power source 18 drives the corresponding second transmission mechanism 19, the second transmission mechanism 19 drives the corresponding material box 13 to turn over, and simultaneously, the material box 13 rotates around the connecting shaft, so that materials in the corresponding material box 13 enter the pot body 23 of the cooking device through the feeding hole 12.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 6-7, the second power source 18 may be fixedly mounted to the pusher base 16. The second power source 18 may be a servo motor, or may be other pneumatic or hydraulic power sources. It should be appreciated that second power source 18 may be other power sources, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in this respect.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 6-7, the pusher shoe 16 may be fixedly mounted to a corresponding shelf provided on the mobile frame 14. The pusher base 16 and the pressure plate 17 may each be a flat plate of suitable dimensions. The flat plate may be a rectangular flat plate structure or a flat plate structure with other shapes, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present invention. The pusher base 16 may have a groove therein. The specific shape of the groove may be designed according to the specific structure of the second transmission mechanism 19, which is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present invention. When the second power source 18 drives the second transmission mechanism 19 to move, the second transmission mechanism 19 can move along the groove on the partition. The pressing plate 17 is fixed on the push rod base 16 and limits the circular arc-shaped second transmission mechanism 19 to prevent the circular arc-shaped second transmission mechanism 19 from falling off from the groove in the moving process.

In an alternative, referring to fig. 6-7, a photoelectric sensor may also be disposed on the pusher base 16. A photoelectric sensor may be located in a recess provided in the pusher base 16 to facilitate detection of the position of the second actuator 19. The number of photosensors may be two. One of the photo sensors is located at the position where the second end of the second actuator 19 is in the initial state. Another photo sensor is located at the position when the second end of the second actuator 19 is in the final state.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the second transmission mechanism 19 may include a spur gear and a circular arc-shaped rack structure corresponding to the spur gear. The spur gear is in power connection with a second power source 18. The circular arc shaped rack structure has opposite first and second ends. The first end of the circular arc shaped rack structure may have a cylindrical protrusion that is rotatably connected with an L-shaped oblong slot of the corresponding magazine 13. Based on this, when the corresponding magazine 13 reaches above the feed port 12, the second power source 18 drives the spur gear to rotate under the control of the controller, thereby driving the circular arc rack structure to rotate. At this time, the circular arc-shaped rack structure can drive the corresponding magazine 13 to turn over. Based on this, the corresponding material box 13 can be turned from the initial state with the opening facing upwards to the inclined state with the opening facing downwards, so that the materials in the corresponding material box 13 enter the pot body 23 in the cooking device through the feed opening 12 under the action of gravity.

In an alternative way, with reference to fig. 6 and 7, the second transmission mechanism 19 can comprise a transmission rod and a circular arc transmission member connected to the transmission rod. The transmission rod and the circular arc transmission piece can be of a rod-shaped structure or a plate-shaped structure. For example: the drive link may be a vertical cylindrical rod-like structure. The actuator rod may also be a rectangular plate-like structure. The circular arc-shaped transmission member may be a circular arc-shaped plate-like structure. It should be understood that the transmission rod and the circular arc transmission member may have other structures, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited thereto. The drive rod and the circular arc drive member may each have opposite first and second ends. The first end of the drive link is in powered communication with a second power source 18. The second end of the transmission rod is fixedly connected with the second end of the circular arc-shaped transmission part. The first end of the circular arc-shaped transmission member may have a cylindrical protrusion which is rotatably connected to an L-shaped oblong slot of the corresponding magazine 13. Based on this, when photoelectric sensor detects corresponding magazine 13 and arrives the top of feed inlet 12, photoelectric sensor sends the signal to the controller, and under the control of controller, second power supply 18 drives the transfer line and uses second power supply 18 as the centre of a circle to rotate to drive convex driving medium and rotate, thereby can drive corresponding magazine 13 and overturn. Based on this, the corresponding material box 13 can be turned from the initial state with the opening facing upwards to the inclined state with the opening facing downwards, so that the materials in the corresponding material box 13 enter the pot body 23 in the cooking device through the feed opening 12 under the action of gravity.

Referring to fig. 9, the cooking device includes a semi-open base, a pot 23, and a stirring mechanism 24. The pot body 23 is arranged opposite to the feed inlet 12. The material in the material box 13 enters the pot body 23 through the feeding hole 12. The semi-open base includes a base body 21 and a baffle 22. The pot body 23 is detachably arranged on the base body 21. The baffle 22 is provided on the base body 21 in a semi-surrounding manner. When the pan body 23 is placed on the base body 21, a portion of the pan body 23 is located within the semi-enclosed area formed by the baffle 22. The agitation mechanism 24 is communicatively coupled to the controller. The stirring mechanism 24 is used for stirring the materials in the pot body 23.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 9, the portion of the base body 21 contacting the pot body 23 may be made of a material with high temperature resistance, poor cold and heat resistance, strong impact resistance, good heat conduction effect and strong magnetic line penetration. For example: ceramic, glass ceramics, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. The portion of the base body 21 not in contact with the pot body 23 may be made of a non-metallic material having a certain strength or rigidity. For example: PC, PVC, PP, ABS or recycled plastic, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. The base body 21 may be a cylindrical structure having a receiving cavity, a truncated cone structure, or other structures. The specific value can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited herein. The bottom of the base body 21 may have a plurality of heat dissipation holes uniformly distributed. The baffle 22 may be made of a non-metallic material having some strength or rigidity. For example: PC, PVC, PP, ABS or recycled plastic, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. The baffle 22 may be an arcuate structure having a cavity, or the baffle 22 may be a solid arcuate structure. The specific shape of the baffle 22 can be selected according to practical circumstances and is not particularly limited.

In one example, referring to FIG. 9, the pan body 23 can be made of a material that conducts heat well. For example: stainless steel, iron, or enamel, etc., and is not particularly limited herein. The pan body 23 may be a pan or a round-bottomed pan, and may be selected according to actual situations, and is not limited specifically herein. The pan body 23 may have at least one handle. When the pan body 23 is placed on the base body 21, the handle can be positioned outside the semi-enclosed area formed by the baffle 22, so that the pan body 23 can be taken out from the semi-open base conveniently. Compared with the prior art that the pot body 23 is arranged inside the cooking machine in a concealed mode, the cooking device provided by the invention can conveniently take the pot body 23 out of the cooking device, so that the pot body 23 is convenient to clean.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, base body 21 has a receiving slot 25 that matches the shape of the outer wall of pan 23. The pot body 23 can be detachably arranged in the accommodating groove 25. For example: when the outer wall of the pot 23 is formed in a hemispherical shape, the receiving groove 25 may be a hemispherical recess. The specific value can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited herein. The accommodating groove 25 may be made of a material having high temperature resistance, poor cold and heat resistance, strong impact resistance, good heat conduction effect, and strong penetration of magnetic lines of force. For example: ceramic, glass ceramics, etc., and is not particularly limited herein.

In an alternative manner, referring to fig. 9, the cooking appliance may further include a heating assembly. The heating assembly may be connected to a controller. Under the control of the controller, scientific and reasonable temperature curves can be set according to cooking processes of different types of dishes, so that accurate temperature control is realized. The heating assembly may be disposed in a receiving cavity provided in the base body 21. The heating assembly may be located below the receiving groove 25 for heating the pot body 23 disposed in the receiving groove 25. The heating element may be made of a material that conducts heat well. For example: electromagnetic coils or resistance wires, etc. The specific value can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited herein.

In an alternative manner, referring to fig. 9, the cooking device may further include a heat sink assembly. The heat sink assembly may be disposed in a receiving cavity provided in the base body 21. The heat dissipation assembly may be in communicative connection with the controller. When the cooking device stops working, the heat dissipation assembly is used for reducing the temperature in the base body 21 and protecting electronic elements in the cooking device. The heat dissipation component can be a heat dissipation fan and a heat dissipation fin. The heat sink may be a metal plate having a large heat dissipation area and good thermal conductivity.

In an alternative manner, referring to fig. 9, the cooking appliance may further include a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be provided in a housing chamber provided in the base body 21. The number of temperature sensors may be two. One of which is used to measure the temperature at the junction of the pan body 23 and the base body 21. The other temperature sensor is used for measuring the temperature in the accommodating chamber provided in the base body 21. The temperature sensor may be a negative temperature coefficient semiconductor thermistor. Of course, the temperature sensor may be other types of temperature sensors, and is not limited in particular. The temperature sensor may be in communicative connection with the controller. The controller is used for controlling the work of the heat dissipation assembly after receiving the temperature data acquired by the temperature sensor. For example: when the temperature in the accommodating cavity of the base body 21 reaches a preset value, the controller controls the heat dissipation fan to start working, so as to reduce the temperature in the accommodating cavity of the base body 21.

In an alternative manner, referring to fig. 9, the cooking appliance may further include a touch screen 26 disposed on an outer wall of the base body 21. The touch screen 26 may be communicatively coupled to a controller, which may receive commands from the touch screen 26 to control the operation of the heating or heat dissipation assembly. For example: after inputting a corresponding temperature value on the touch screen 26, the controller controls the heating element to operate, so that the temperature generated by the heating element reaches a preset temperature value. Another example is: instructions may be sent via the touch screen 26 to cause the controller to control the speed of the cooling fan. The touch screen 26 may be a capacitive touch screen, a resistive touch screen, an infrared touch screen, or other touch screens. The specific value can be selected according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited herein.

In an alternative, referring to FIG. 9, the agitation mechanism 24 includes a powered agitator bar and a third power source. The third power source is in communication with the controller. The inner wall of the pot body 23 may be shaped as a hemisphere. The stirring rod has a structure adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the pot body 23 and is used for stirring the materials in the pot body 23. When the cooking device works, the third power source is used for driving the stirring rod to stir the materials in the pot body 23 in a rotating manner under the control of the controller.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the paddle may be made of a material having a certain strength or rigidity and that is consistent with food safety. For example: the stirring rod may be made of stainless steel.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the stirring rod may include first and second rotating shafts disposed opposite and coaxially in a horizontal plane, and a stirring assembly connected to the first and second rotating shafts. The first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft have the same rotating axis, and the third power source is in power connection with the second rotating shaft and is used for driving the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft to rotate around the rotating axis. Based on this, first pivot and second pivot can drive stirring subassembly also to do rotary motion around above-mentioned axis of rotation.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the stirring assembly may include a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a first stirring rod, and a second stirring rod. The first stirring rod is connected with the first rotating shaft, and the second stirring rod is connected with the second rotating shaft. The end of the first stirring rod is connected with the end of the second stirring rod. The head end of the first stirring rod is connected with the first connecting rod. The head end of the second stirring rod is connected with the second connecting rod.

Referring to fig. 9, the stirring rod may be integrally designed or may be separately designed. When the whole stirring rod adopts the integral design, the mechanical strength of the stirring rod can be improved. When the stirring rod is integrally designed in a split type, all parts forming the stirring rod can be connected together in a detachable mode. Link together through the detachable mode, can conveniently dismantle the puddler to each part of puddler is washd.

For example: referring to fig. 9, the first connecting rod, the first stirring rod, the second stirring rod and the second connecting rod may be connected together by a fastening member such as a bolt. The first connecting rod and the first rotating shaft can be connected together through a hinge. The second connecting rod and the second rotating shaft can also be connected together through fasteners such as bolts and the like. At this time, the first connecting rod can be sleeved on the first rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft may be provided on a side wall of the pot body 23. The second shaft may be rotatably coupled to the sidewall of the pot 23.

Another example is: referring to fig. 9, the first connecting rod and the first rotating shaft may be connected together by a fastening member such as a bolt. At this time, the first rotating shaft may be connected with the sidewall of the pot body 23 in a rotatable connection manner.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the first and second agitating bars may be flat plate-shaped structures having a large surface area. The flat plate-like structure is a broad flat plate-like structure, and is not particularly limited herein. Based on this, when the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod are used for stirring the dishes in the pot body 23, more dishes can be stirred at one time, so that the dishes in the pot body 23 can be fully stirred. The first and second connecting rods may be cylindrical structures. The columnar structure is a generalized columnar structure, and is not particularly limited herein.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, in order to allow the stirring bar to sufficiently stir the food material in the pot body 23, the contact area between the entire stirring bar and the dishes in the pot body 23 may be increased as appropriate. For example: the first stirring rod is not in the same plane with the first connecting rod, and the first stirring rod can extend forwards or backwards relative to the first connecting rod. Correspondingly, the second stirring rod is not in the same plane with the second connecting rod, and the second stirring rod can extend forwards or backwards relative to the second connecting rod. The first stirring rod and the second stirring rod are not in the same plane, and the first stirring rod can extend forwards or backwards relative to the second stirring rod. It can be seen that the respective portions constituting the stirring rod are not in the same plane. A first included angle is formed between the first stirring rod and the first connecting rod. A second included angle is formed between the second stirring rod and the second connecting rod. And a third included angle is formed between the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod. The specific angle values of the first included angle, the second included angle, and the third included angle may be selected according to actual conditions, and are not limited specifically here.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, in order to equalize the forces applied to the various portions during rotation of the stirring rod, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod have the same length, and the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod have the same length.

In one example, referring to FIG. 9, in order to adapt the paddles to the shape of the inner wall of the pan body 23, a circular arc transition connection may be used between the first paddle and the second paddle. At this time, the inner wall of the pot body 23 may be formed in a hemispherical shape. Based on this, the stirring rod can be completely attached to the inner wall of the pot body 23 in the stirring process, so that dishes in the pot body 23 can be fully stirred.

Referring to fig. 9, based on the structure of the stirring rod, the cooking device drives the stirring rod to rotate through the third power source in the process of frying dishes, and then stirs the materials in the pot body 23. Meanwhile, the controller is used for controlling the rotation speed of the stirring rod by controlling the third power source. Because the two parts of the stirring rod which are connected with each other form an included angle, the stirring rod can fully contact dishes in the pot body 23 in the stirring process, so that the dishes can fully rotate in the stirring process, and the purpose of fully stir-frying the dishes is achieved. Meanwhile, all parts forming the stirring rod are not in the same plane, so that the length of the whole stirring rod is longer than that of the stirring rod in which all the parts are in the same plane. Therefore, the contact area of the stirring rod provided by the embodiment of the invention and dishes is larger in the stirring process. The stirring rod can push more dishes in the rotating process, and the phenomenon that part of the dishes are not stirred in the stirring process is avoided, so that the aim of fully stirring the dishes in the pot body 23 is fulfilled.

It should be understood that the stirring rod may also have other shapes and structures, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. Of course, the specific shape and structure of the stirring rod need to match the shape of the inner wall of the pot body 23, so that the stirring rod can sufficiently stir the dishes in the pot body 23.

In an alternative way, referring to fig. 9, in order to facilitate the separation of the stirring rod from the pan body 23, the stirring rod can be connected to the pan body 23 by means of a detachable connection assembly.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the detachable connection assembly may be a resilient telescoping assembly. The elastic telescopic assembly may include a bushing, a spring and a stop collar. The axle sleeve suit is in first pivot, and the outer wall of first connecting rod and axle sleeve links together. At this time, the first rotating shaft may be a stepped shaft, and the radial direction of the shaft decreases progressively towards the second rotating shaft. The spring suit is in the minor diameter section of first pivot, and the one end of spring and the shaft shoulder of first pivot support and lean on, and the other end of spring supports with the inner wall of axle sleeve and leans on. The limiting sleeve is sleeved at one end of the shaft sleeve opposite to the second rotating shaft and is fixedly connected with the first rotating shaft. Because the spring has elasticity, can make the elastic expansion subassembly length in along the axial direction adjustable. Based on this, the stirring rod can be conveniently installed on the pot body 23 or removed from the pot body 23, so as to be convenient for cleaning.

Referring to fig. 9, based on the above-mentioned structure of the elastic telescopic assembly, when the stirring rod is coupled to the pot body 23, the spring is fitted over the small diameter section of the first rotating shaft. The spring is in an initial state when not being acted by other external force. At the moment, one end of the spring is abutted against the shaft shoulder of the first rotating shaft, and the other end of the spring is abutted against the inner wall of the shaft sleeve. The spring can provide the thrust along its radial and the direction of keeping away from the second axle sleeve for first pivot, and the tip of the small diameter section of first pivot is provided with the stop collar moreover, can prevent that first pivot from receiving the elasticity of spring to break away from the axle sleeve. Meanwhile, the second rotating shaft structure is fixed, so that the stirring rod can be clamped at the corresponding position of the pot body 23 during cooking. When the spring is under the action of external force and is in a compressed state, the first rotating shaft moves in the shaft sleeve along the direction close to the second rotating shaft, so that the length from the tail end of the large-diameter section of the first rotating shaft to the tail end of the second rotating shaft is reduced, and the stirring rod is conveniently detached from the pot body 23.

In one example, referring to fig. 9, the removable connection assembly may be a threaded connection assembly. For example: the threaded connection assembly may be a screw. The side wall of the pot body 23 is provided with a through hole, and the first rotating shaft is connected with the through hole through a bearing. The inner wall of one end of the first rotating shaft, which is far away from the first connecting rod, is provided with a thread structure. The screw is positioned on the outer wall of the pan body 23 and is connected with the thread structure on the inner wall of the first rotating shaft. Based on this, the stirring rod can be connected with the pan body 23. After the screw is detached from the first rotating shaft, the stirring rod can be detached from the pot body 23.

It should be understood that the detachable connection assembly may have other structures, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In an alternative, referring to FIG. 9, the third power source may be fixedly mounted within the cavity defined by the baffle 22. The third power source can be a servo motor, and also can be other pneumatic, hydraulic and other power sources. It should be understood that the third power source may be other power sources, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited in this regard. When the third power source is a servo motor, the third power source has a drive shaft. The transmission shaft has a connection end connected with the stirring rod. The connecting end is oppositely arranged on a plurality of clamping pieces. A clamping space for clamping the stirring rod is arranged among the clamping pieces. When the cooking device is in a working state, the stirring rod is connected with the third power source through the connecting end. When the cooking device is in a non-working state, the connecting end is used for limiting the stirring rod, or the stirring rod and the connecting end are arranged in a separated mode. When the stirring rod is in power connection with the third power source, the stirring rod can be detachably clamped in the clamping space between the clamping pieces.

Referring to fig. 9, based on this structure, when the cooking apparatus is in an operating state, the second connecting shaft of the stirring rod is located in a space formed by the two clamping members. At this time, the stirring rod is coaxial with the transmission shaft of the third power source. When the driving assembly works, the transmission shaft drives the stirring rod to rotate. When the cooking device is in a non-working state, the second rotating shaft of the stirring rod can be separated from the transmission shaft of the driving assembly. Compared with the existing mode of connecting two shafts together through devices such as a coupler, the connecting mode provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages of simpler structure and lower manufacturing cost.
