Description

Feeding device and cooking machine

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of cooking equipment, in particular to a cooking machine and a feeding device thereof.

Background technique

The inventor has published patents CN2448232 in 2000 and CN1364436 in 2001, and subsequently published a series of patents related to cooking equipment. The patents constitute related patents, which involve stir-frying, serving, processing and feeding devices of cooking machines.

At present, the main feeding methods of cooking machines include:

Feeding box flipping: The cooking ingredients are placed in the feeding box. Initially, the feeding box opening is facing upwards. When feeding, the feeding box is flipped so that the opening of the feeding box tilts downwards, and the cooking ingredients are poured into the pot. The feeding box is located on both sides of the pot or on top of the pot. The advantage of this method is that it is more flexible for users and convenient for users to prepare the ingredients themselves. The disadvantage is that it is poorly coordinated with e-commerce. At the same time, because the feeding box is flipped to feed, this feeding device occupies a large space.

Combined plastic box: The inverted combined plastic box is used for feeding. The advantage is that it is compact and friendly to e-commerce and logistics. The disadvantage is that it is not user-friendly.

Turntable type: The disc feeding box is divided into several independent storage grids, and the storage grids have openings at the top and bottom. There is a close-fitting tray at the bottom of the disc-shaped feeding box, and the tray holds the cooking ingredients in the storage grid. The tray has a discharge port. When the disc feeding box rotates, the cooking ingredients in the storage grid fall into the pot body from the discharge port (when the discharge port is at the bottom, the disc feeding box does not need to be turned over; when the discharge port is at the top, the disc feeding box turns 180°). The advantage of the turntable feeding device is its simple structure. Its disadvantage is that the storage grid is difficult to be in close contact with the tray during the rotation process, especially some sauces, which will be smeared on the tray or seep out from the gap between the storage grid and the tray when the storage grid rotates. Another major disadvantage of the turntable feeding device is its low space utilization.

The current cooking machines all have only one feeding device, which undoubtedly greatly limits the use of the cooking machine. Simply stacking various feeding devices together not only results in large volume and high cost, but also faces the problem of conflicting installation positions between each other.

In addition, some dishes need to be reheated twice. For example, steamed fish and steamed eggplant need to be steamed first before the subsequent processing. Other dishes need to be fried or roasted before cooking, such as furnace fish, which needs to be roasted before cooking. Some dishes need to be blanched in water before processing, such as fried spinach. These dishes are all home-cooked dishes, and current household cooking machines do not have this function. This is one of the reasons why household cooking machines have not been widely accepted by household consumers. The reheating devices currently published, such as patents CN107087991 and CN203028586, etc., have different structures, but their principles are the same, that is, a reheating container is added, and the reheating process is to first pour the food preliminarily heated in the pot into the reheating container, and then the pot body continues to cook; when the pot needs to be reheated, the food in the reheating container is poured into the pot body. In this reheating method, the pot body and the reheating container must move significantly, occupying a large space, and it is difficult to use on a household cooking machine.

If the current secondary reheating scheme and the current multiple feeding devices are superimposed on the existing household cooking machine, the size of the cooking machine will undoubtedly be very large and the structure will be very complicated. The household cooking machine itself requires a small size and a compact structure. At present, most families' kitchens have been renovated, and the household cooking machine involves the problem of oil fume emission. If the cooking machine is also large in size, it will be even more difficult to integrate into the kitchen.

In addition, some current cooking machines (especially some rotating pot cooking machines) have the pot body open during cooking, which not only seriously affects the cooking of some dishes, but also causes oil smoke/water vapor pollution or waste of heating energy. Some cooking machines have pot lids, but during the cooking process, because the ingredients need to be added at different times, the pot lid has to be opened and closed automatically several times, which increases the movement of the pot lid. At the same time, the process of opening the lid will also reduce the temperature inside the pot, causing oil smoke/water vapor to escape from the pot.

The present invention aims to comprehensively solve the above problems.

In addition, due to the defects of stir-frying technology, some household cooking machines cannot even cook the most basic dishes such as vegetables for multiple people. Most of the dishes advertised are diced vegetables and meat cubes that are relatively easy to stir-fry, which is misleading. Excellent and reasonable stir-frying technology is the first step in smart cooking.

Therefore, for the sake of brevity, relevant statements such as the bottom leakage spray device are not described in this patent application. The contents of each patent are connected, and the relevant contents can refer to the related patents.

To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below:

As shown in FIG. 1 , FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , a cooking machine provided in an embodiment of the present invention comprises a top feeding cavity 2, a pot body 1 and a pot cover 2g. The top feeding cavity 2 is above the pot body, and the top feeding cavity 2 comprises a top plate 2a, a side plate 2b/2c and a bottom partition 3, and the top plate, the side plate and the bottom partition together enclose a feeding cavity 14. The feeding cavity has a heat source 41, which can heat the food in the feeding cavity 14. The heat source 41 can come from the top feeding cavity 2, which is called an internal heat source. Typical internal heat sources include electric heating pipes, high-frequency electromagnetic heating, microwave heating, steam heating, and far-infrared heating. The internal heat source is installed on the top plate 2a, the side plate 2b/2c, the bottom partition 3, or installed in the top feeding cavity 14, or installed on the pot cover of the cooking machine. The heat source 41 can also come from the outside of the top feeding cavity 2, which is called an external heat source. A typical external heat source is high-temperature steam introduced from the pot body 1, or high-temperature steam introduced from the steam generator of the cooking machine.

The bottom partition 3 includes fixed partitions 3c1/3c2 and movable partitions 3a1/3a2 and 3aq, and the number ranges from zero to multiple. Usually, the places in the bottom partition 3 except the movable partitions 3a1/3a2/3aq and the holes are all fixed partitions 3c1/3c2, and the fixed partitions 3c1/3c2 are installed on the side panels 2b/2c, and the movable partitions are installed on the side panels 2b/2c or the fixed partitions 3c1/3c2. In the schematic diagram of Figure 1, the fixed partitions 3c1/3c2 are installed on the side panels 2b/2c, and the movable partitions 3a1/3a2 are installed on the fixed partitions 3c1/3c2, respectively, and the movable partitions 3a1/3a2 rotate around the rotation shafts 3b1/3b2, respectively, so as to open or close the bottom partition 3. The movable partition 3aq can be made into a cover form, which can be opened and closed manually or electrically. When the partition 3aq is opened, the top feeding cavity 14 is connected to the pot body 1, and the steam in the pot body 1 can be introduced into the feeding cavity 14. Opening the movable partition 3a1/3a2 can allow the cooked food in the feeding cavity 14 to fall into the pot body; closing the movable partition 3a1/3a2 can isolate the pot body 1 from the outside world. Normally open holes can be installed on the partition 3 to introduce the high-temperature steam in the pot body 1 into the feeding cavity 14 for cooking. However, when the top feeding cavity 2 is not used for cooking, the normally open holes will contaminate the top feeding cavity 2. Therefore, it is set that all the holes of the bottom partition 3 can be opened or closed manually or electrically, and this setting does not affect the claims of the present invention.

As shown in FIG1 , the heating tube 3d1/3d2 can be installed on the movable partition 3a1/3a2, so that the bottom partition 3 has the function of heating or grilling. After heating/grilling is completed, the movable partition 3a1/3a2 is opened, and the food can fall into the pot body below the top feeding cavity 2. The periphery of the movable partition 3a1/3a2 can be raised into the shape of the pot body 3e1/3e2 to form an movable partition cavity 3as, and the movable partition cavity 3as includes the movable partition 3a1/3a2, the rotating shaft 3b1/3b2, the protrusion 3e1/3e2 and an auxiliary module such as a heating module 3d1/3d2. The movable partition cavity can more conveniently cook the food in the top feeding cavity 2, such as steaming fish or steaming eggplant or holding or washing cooked food.

A water inlet nozzle 2xs is introduced into the top feeding cavity 2 to assist cooking and clean the top feeding cavity 2.

Fig. 2 is a supplementary explanation of Fig. 1. The feeding chamber 14 is surrounded by the top plate 2a, the combined partitions 2b: 2b1/2b2 and the combined partitions 2c: 2c1/2c2 and the bottom 3. These divisions have no substantial impact on the present invention, but are only some minor variations in practice.

The movable partition 3a1/3a2 is in the shape of a shallow pot body, and usually the shape of the movable partition 3a1/3a2 is similar to the shape of the pot body of the cooking machine.

The fixed partition 3c1/3c2 is provided with a solenoid valve 3f1/3f2 (sometimes it is also necessary to combine the exhaust fan/exhaust fan and the exhaust duct/exhaust duct), which can guide the steam in the pot body through the duct to the middle feeding chamber 14. We regard the solenoid valve 3f1/3f2 as a special electric movable partition. Obviously, when the opening of the solenoid valve 3f1/3f2 is on the side plate 2b1/2c1, steam can be guided from the steam generator of the cooking machine into the feeding chamber 14.

As shown in FIG2 , the top feeding cavity 2 can be partially or completely opened by the handle 2d1. The top feeding cavities 2: 2a, 2b and 2c can be opened or closed by the pot handle 2d1 and the selection button 2d11. The top feeding cavity 2: 2a, 2b, 2c and the bottom partition 3 can be opened or closed by the handle 2d1 and the selection button 2d12 of the pot body 1. The top plate 2a of the top feeding cavity 2 can be opened separately by the handle 2d2.

Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a first cooking machine using a pot body 1, a pot cover 2g and a top feeding cavity 2, the pot body 1, the pot cover 2g, and the top feeding cavity 2. When necessary, the pot cover 2g can be removed to facilitate the food to fall from the feeding cavity 14 into the pot body 1. The heating source 41 in the top feeding cavity 2 is an internal heat source, or is introduced from the cooking machine, for example, the high-temperature steam generated by the steam generator of the cooking machine is introduced into the top feeding cavity 2. The bottom partition 3 can be opened or closed.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a second cooking machine using a pot body 1 and a top feeding cavity 2. The top feeding cavity 2 can be used as a pot cover. In this case, the top feeding cavity 2 is also called a pot cover cavity. The pot cover cavity 2 can completely close the opening of the pot body 1. The heating source 41 in the top feeding cavity 2 can be either an internal heat source or an external heat source, or can be introduced from the pot body 1 or the cooking machine. The bottom partition 3 can be opened or closed.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the opening method of the top feeding cavity 2, especially the opening method of the pot cover cavity of FIG. 4. In combination with FIG. 2, the top feeding cavity 2 can be partially or completely opened by the handle 2d1. The top feeding cavity 2: 2a, 2b and 2c can be opened or closed by the pot body handle 2d1 and the selection button 2d11 (FIG. 2). The top feeding cavity 2: 2a, 2b, 2c and the bottom partition 3 can be opened or closed by the pot body handle 2d1 and the selection button 2d12 (FIG. 2). The top plate 2a of the top feeding cavity 2 can be opened separately, and the side plates 2b/2c of the top feeding cavity 2 can also be opened. The required maximum angles are θ1 and θ2 (θ1 and θ2 are usually 90°). The side plates 2b/2c are opened so that the combined plastic box feeding device can be installed on the top of the side plate or on the bottom of the side plate (refer to Figure 11). When the film tearing device of the combined plastic box is installed in the bottom area of the side plate, the opened side plates 2b/2c can also serve as a support plate for the combined plastic box (refer to Figures 14, 15 and 16).

In addition, the opening method of the top feeding cavity (or pot cover cavity) 2 includes not only a tilting method but also an up and down translation method.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the pot body 1 further includes a pot body handle 1 b.

Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a feeding device added to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, and a feeding port 2k1/2k2 is added to the top plate 2a or the side plate 2b of the top feeding cavity 2. The feeding device feeds the cooking materials into the top feeding cavity 2 or the pot body 1 from the feeding port 2k1/2k2. The top movable partition 2a1 can open or close the top feeding port 2k1, and the movable side plate 2b can open or close the side plate feeding port 2k2. Pot body 1, top feeding cavity 2, stirrer 6/6a/6b, and the rotating axis 61a/61b of the stirrer. Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of three common feeding devices combined with the top feeding cavity 2, which respectively constitute the third, fourth and fifth cooking machines of the present invention.

The third cooking machine of the present invention is a schematic diagram of a combined plastic box 2m feeding device installed on the top plate 2a of the top feeding cavity 2. The combined plastic box 2m has a plurality of boxes isolated from each other, and the openings of the boxes are sealed with plastic films. The film tearing device 2p rotates at a set time and interval to tear the plastic film, so that the food in the combined plastic box 2m falls into the feeding cavity 14 or into the pot body 1 through the opening 2k1 of the top feeding cavity 2 (the bottom partition 3 is opened at this time), and pulls the entire combined plastic box 2m forward. For example, for the dish of steamed fish, the fish and ingredients (such as oil, soy sauce, shredded ginger, garlic, shredded green onion, etc.) can be all placed in the combined plastic box 2m, and the fish falls from the combined plastic box 2m to the bottom partition 3 of the top feeding cavity 2. After being steamed at high temperature, the bottom partition 3 is opened, and the steamed fish falls into the pot body 1.

The fourth cooking machine of the present invention uses a plurality of flip feeding boxes 14a/14b to feed materials into the top feeding cavity 2, and feeds the cooking materials into the feeding cavity 14 or the pot body 1 from the top plate opening 2k1. The flip feeding box 14a/14b is located on the side of the pot body, and a multi-link device is usually used to flip the feeding box.

The fifth cooking machine of the present invention adopts the flip feeding box 14c above the top feeding cavity 2 to feed the top feeding cavity 2. The cooking materials are placed in the flip feeding box 14c, and the cooking materials in the flip feeding box 14c are fed into the top feeding cavity 14 or the pot body 1 through the top plate opening 2k1 by flipping. Since the flip feeding box 14c is located above the pot body 1, the feeding device is relatively simple. However, since the flip feeding box 14c is located above the top feeding cavity, the structure is not compact. For this reason, a flip feeding box 14d is arranged in the top feeding cavity 2 to make the feeding device of the cooking machine more compact.

The side plate 2b of the top feeding cavity can also be opened, and the cooking materials can be fed into the feeding cavity 14 from the side wall opening 2k2. The feeding can be done manually or by a feeding device.

A stirrer 6g can also be installed in the feeding chamber 14 to stir the food on the bottom partition 3.

The rotation axis 61a of the stirrer 6 in the pot body of Fig. 6 is in the horizontal direction. The rotation axis of the stirrer can also be in other directions, as shown in the schematic diagram of Fig. 7.

FIG7 is a seventh cooking machine of the present invention. The bottom of the pot body in FIG7 is relatively flat, and a stirrer 6a or a sharpener 6b is installed at the bottom of the pot body 1, and the rotation axis 61b of the stirrer/sharpener is in a vertical direction. Pot body heater 101. FIG7 has a wide range of applications, such as a bread maker or an electric rice cooker. When an electric rice cooker is constructed based on FIG7, the stirrer 6a can be made into a stirrer similar to a pulsator washing machine in addition to being similar to a stirrer of a bread maker. The stirrer is used in an electric rice cooker, and in addition to being used for washing rice, it can also be used to directly stir rice grains and water when cooking rice, thereby increasing the friction between the rice grains and making the cooked rice more fragrant.

The typical application of FIG. 7 is a bread machine. Bread flour, yeast, butter, water, nuts, etc. are placed in the combined plastic box 2m in order. The cooking materials in each chamber of the combined plastic box 2m can be put into the pot body 1 from the feeding port 2k1 through the film tearing device 2p. The movable partition 3 is opened to provide a channel for the cooking materials to fall. The movable partition 3 is closed to isolate the high temperature of the pot body to avoid affecting the combined plastic box. The stirrer 6a can stir the flour. A heater 42, such as an infrared heating tube, can also be installed on the bottom plate partition 3 to heat the food in the pot body 1.

According to the previous related patents of the present invention, a bottom rotary spray device 508 can also be installed under the pot body 1. The device can be equipped with a stirrer or a grinder to stir or grind food, filter food, discharge food residues or discharge food.

The above-mentioned bread makers, rice cookers, soymilk machines, and coffee machines do not require a heating source for the top feeding cavity. In these cooking machines, the top feeding cavity serves as a feeding device and a heat insulation device. These are also within the protection scope of the present invention. When the movable partition 3 is used as heat insulation, the bottom plate movable partition 3 can also be replaced or the heat insulation performance can be further increased by improving the heat insulation of the top plate in the lid feeding cavity 2, such as enhancing the heat insulation of the fixed plate 2a21/2a22 of the top plate, and installing a top plate movable partition to open or close the top plate opening 2k1 to isolate the top plate opening 2k1 from the influence of the combined plastic box 2m. An example of a top plate movable partition is to install a top plate movable plate 2a11, and when the movable plate rotates around the rotating shaft 2a12, the top plate feeding port 2k1 can be closed or opened.

The handle 2d1 can open the top feeding cavity or the top partition of the pot body.

FIG8 is a schematic diagram of the eighth cooking machine, which is typically a smart rice cooker. FIG8 can be regarded as a variation of FIG1. Referring to FIG1, the cooking machine includes a pot cover feeding cavity 2 and a pot body 1. The pot cover feeding cavity 2 includes a top plate 2a, a side plate 2b and a bottom partition 3. The bottom partition 3 includes a fixed partition 3c1/3c2 and a movable partition 3a1/3a2, and the movable partition 3a1/3a2 rotates around the rotating shaft 3b1/3b2 respectively, thereby opening or closing the bottom partition. The movable partition 3a1/3a2 may have a protrusion 3e1/3e2 around it, and the movable partition protrusion 3e1/3e2, the movable partition 3c1/3c2 and the movable partition device 3d1/3d2 are enclosed to form a movable partition cavity 3as, which can be used as a rice washing bin 3as of the rice cooker. Open the movable partition 3a1/3a2, and the rice in the rice washing bin 3as falls into the pot body 1; close the movable partition 3as, and the rice washing bin 3as can be isolated from the pot body 1. A stirrer 6g can be installed in the rice washing bin to wash rice grains. The rice washing bin 3as can be installed with a filtering and drainage device to discharge the rice washing water out of the rice washing bin 3as. In Figure 8, the bottom opening technology of the rice washing bin 3as is adopted to reduce the height of the rice washing bin, so that the rice washing bin 3as can be selected in the pot cover cavity 2 and move with the pot cover cavity 2, thus avoiding the inconvenience of the existing electric rice cooker needing to pull out the electric rice cooker pot body after cooking rice. In addition, the rice washing bin of the prior art is far away from the pot body, and the rice washed in the rice washing bin will be wetted and stuck on the rice washing bin and the conveying pipeline when it is transported to the pot body. The structure of Figure 8 of the present invention places the rice washing bin on the pot cover, which is closest to the pot body, and better solves the problem of rice sticking to the conveying pipeline.

An air guide hole (not shown) that can be opened and closed can be installed on the partition 3 to discharge the high-temperature/high-pressure steam in the pot body 1 out of the pot body 1.

Similarly, optionally, a stirrer 6 as shown in FIG6 and a stirrer 6a and a sharpener 6b as shown in FIG7 may be installed in the pot body 1, and a bottom leakage spray device 508 may be installed at the bottom of the pot body 1. FIG8 is a blueprint that can realize not only electric rice cookers, but also cooking machines such as bread machines, soy milk machines, etc.

In order to prevent rice grains and other foods from causing the bottom movable partition 3a1/3a2 to be loosely closed, side panels 3w are installed on the sides of the movable partition 3a1/3a2. The side panels are located on both sides of the movable partition 3a1/3a2. The movable partition 3a1/3a2 is always in close contact with the side guard plate 3w during the opening or closing process.

It should be noted that the so-called eighth cooking machine is a general concept. In fact, the number of the technical points and various combinations of the technical points of the present invention is far more than 8, and different forms of cooking machines can be formed, including cooking machines, rice cookers, bread makers, soy milk makers, coffee machines and other cooking equipment.

Figures 9 to 16 are further expansions of the top feeding cavity or the pot lid feeding cavity (or the pot lid feeding cavity), that is, the top feeding cavity or the pot lid feeding cavity is compatible with the combined plastic box feeding device and the flip feeding box. The combined plastic box has the advantages of high intelligence and ease of e-commerce, but the disadvantage is that it lacks flexibility for users. The flip feeding box is conducive to users to purchase and prepare cooking ingredients by themselves, meeting users' requirements for the quality, cost, taste and availability of cooking ingredients, and avoiding users from falling into complete dependence on the combined plastic box. Figures 9 to 16 discuss the flip feeding box 14d of the top feeding cavity 2 in Figure 6 and its compatibility with other feeding devices.

FIG9 is a schematic diagram of a combined plastic box 2m, FIG10 is a schematic diagram of a top feeding cavity 2, a combined plastic box feeding device and a film tearing device, FIG11 is a schematic diagram of a card slot of a film tearing device, and FIG12 is a schematic diagram of a cooking machine using the top feeding cavity 2. The combined plastic box 2m includes a plurality of mutually independent plastic cavities 2m1, whose discharge ports are located in the same plane at the bottom and are sealed by a sealing film 2m2. The front end of the sealing film 2m2 has an insert 2m3, which can be inserted into a slot 2p1 (refer to FIG10) of a rolling rod 2p of the combined plastic box film tearing device.

The top feeding cavity 2 includes side panels 2b/2c, and the bottom panel 3 includes movable partitions 3a1/3a2 that can be opened and separated. The top feeding cavity 2 usually also includes a top 2a to hold the combined plastic box 2m, and there is an opening 2k on the top 2a, through which the cooking materials in the independent chamber 2m1 of the combined plastic box 2m fall into the top feeding cavity 2 or into the feeding box/feeding cylinder 4a. The opening 2k can be opened or closed by designing a movable device, or a plurality of detachable top panels 2a can be used to meet different needs.

The pressing edge 2m4 of the combined plastic box 2m is embedded in the guide groove 2gs, and the card 2m3 (see Figure 9) at the front end of the combined plastic box 2m is inserted into the card slot 24 of the winding rod 2p. The winding rod 2p rotates to roll the sealing film 2m3 (see Figure 9) on the winding rod 2p, and drives the combined plastic box 2m to move forward smoothly along the guide groove 2gs.

In order to prevent the rolling rod 20 from affecting the operation of the feeding box in the top feeding cavity 2, one solution is to design the rolling rod 2p to be detachable at both ends or at least at one end. For example, the rolling rod 2p is provided with linkage grooves 2p2a/2p2b, which are respectively connected with the linkage rods 2p3a/2p3b of the extension parts 2p4a/2p4b of the rolling rod, so that the rolling rod 2p is detachable (or at least one end is detachable and the other end can hang down). A simpler rolling rod 2p is a non-detachable form as shown in FIG13a.

Fig. 11 also vividly shows the relationship between the top feeding cavity 2 and the cooking machine cover 2g. At the same time, the film tearing device can be installed at the top of the feeding cavity (such as the film tearing rod 2pa and the combined plastic box guide groove 2gsa), and can also be installed at the bottom of the feeding cavity (such as the film tearing rod 2pb and the combined plastic box guide groove 2gsb).

The top plate 2a can be made into a push-pull form, and the top feeding opening is formed by pushing the top plate 2a, and support is provided to the combined plastic box (with reference to the top plate 2a in Figure 14). By pulling back the top plate 2a, the top of the top feeding cavity can be completely closed.

As shown in FIG12 , the pot body 1 of the cooking machine includes a main body 11 and a bottom movable puzzle plate 1a, and stirrers 6a/6b at both ends of the pot body 1, and the stirring shafts thereof are in the horizontal direction (refer to FIG6 ). The top feeding cavity 2 has a combined plastic box feeding device and a winding rod 2p, as well as a feeding box/feeding barrel 4a/4b. The bottom plate 3 includes a movable partition 3a/3b, and a liquid cooking material feeding device 14y can feed the top feeding cavity 2 and the feeding box/feeding barrel 4a, 4b. At the same time, an annular spray hole close to the top opening can be set from the top opening of the feeding box/feeding barrel, and clean water can be passed in for cleaning, or gas can be sprayed to blow off the cooking materials remaining on the feeding box/feeding barrel. The top feeding cavity can complete cooking operations such as steaming fish, grilling, and frying.

There is a stirrer 6g in the feeding box/feeding barrel 4a/4b (the stirrer can be installed on the side of the top feeding cavity 2 or on the top plate 2a), which can stir-fry and pre-process the cooking materials in the feeding box/feeding barrel. The feeding box 4a can pour out the cooking materials therein by rotating, or the bottom puzzle board 41a of the feeding box can be opened or closed. The bottom puzzle board 41a is opened, and the cooking materials in the feeding box 4a can be put into the pot body. The bottom puzzle board 41a also has a heater 4a101 or is heated by the bottom plate 3 (such as high-frequency electromagnetic furnace heating, light wave heating). When the bottom puzzle board 41a is opened, the cooking materials in the combined plastic box 2m can directly pass through the feeding box 4a and fall into the pot body 1 without contacting the feeding box 4a. When the bottom puzzle board 41a is closed, the cooking materials in the combined plastic box 2m first fall into the feeding box 4a for pre-cooking (the feeding box 4a can be removed so that the combined plastic box 2m can directly feed the feeding cavity 2 or the pot body 1). The feeding tube 4b can be heated by the bottom plate 3, and the cooking materials in the feeding tube 4b can be thrown out by opening the bottom plate 3 (3a/3b) (combined with reference to Figure 13). Obviously, these characteristics can be used for all feeding boxes, feeding tubes or other feeding devices of the cooking machine, for example, a heating device is introduced into the turntable feeding box. Therefore, the feeding box of the present invention is a so-called generalized feeding box, which is characterized in that it can store cooking materials and introduce/pour the cooking materials into the pot body or a certain intermediate part through the feeding device. At the same time, the feeding box 4a can also be designed in conjunction with the bottom movable partition 3 (for example, the bottom puzzle plate 41a of the feeding box 4a is combined with the bottom movable partition 3 of the feeding chamber. This situation can be regarded as an opening on the bottom plate 3, and the bottom puzzle plate 41a is at the opening, or it can be regarded as a combination of the feeding tube 4a and the bottom movable partition 3), and the purpose of facilitating feeding, saving costs, compact structure and preventing oil fume pollution or diffusion is achieved under the premise of ensuring multi-function.

Obviously, the top feeding cavity 2 of the present invention is also suitable for a cooking machine that uses a rotating pot body to stir-fry. For the cooking machine pot body rotation, refer to the inventor's patents CN107087991 and CN203028586 and the related patents of the present invention.

One advantage of the internal feeding box/internal feeding tube in Figure 12 is that there is no need to open the pot lid when feeding and during the cooking process. This can reduce the spread of oil smoke. Alternatively, in the design of some low-cost cooking machines, there is no need to design an automatic pot lid opening device, and only manual opening of the pot lid can be used to reduce costs and improve user convenience and intuitiveness.

According to the related patent of the present invention: the pot body 1 includes one or more stirrers (or stirring shovels) 6a/6b, usually one stirrer or two stirrers on the left and right (refer to the stirrer 6ga/6gb in the feeding box of Figure 13B). The advantage of multiple stirrers is to increase the speed of the stirrer. At the same time, the two stirrers are connected, and their cross bars (or cross bar shovels) can be connected to form a V shape to assist cooking operations such as steaming fish. The stirrer 6a/6b includes overall translation, vertical rod extension, vertical rod bending, horizontal rod rotation, and includes the use of "left-right stir-frying method".

As shown in Figure 13A, it is a schematic diagram of a top feeding chamber 2 that is compatible with a variety of feeding devices. The top feeding chamber 2 includes a large main feeding box 4a and two small feeding boxes 4b/4c, which are in the shape of a "product". The top of the "product" is a main feeding box 4a, and the bottom of the "product" is two small feeding boxes 4b/4c. Correspondingly, the bottom movable partition includes three parts 3a (3a1/3a2)/3b/3c, which correspond to the positions of the above-mentioned one main and two small feeding boxes 4a/4b/4c. Take the main feeding box 4a as an example, including side walls 4a1, bottom 4a2, agitator 6g (which can be installed on the side or top plate of the top feeding chamber 2), and the main feeding box 4a is connected to the turning device 4az through the card joint 4a3 on the side wall 4a1. The cooking materials (food) are placed in the main feeding box 4a. When feeding, the movable partition 3a1/3a2 is opened, and the turning device 4az rotates, driving the main feeding box 4a to rotate, so that the opening of the main feeding box 4a is downward, and the cooking materials (food) therein are put into the pot body. Similarly, the small feeding box 4b/4c is respectively connected to the turning device 4b4/4c4 through the clamping joint 4b3/4c3. The advantage of the main feeding box 4a and the small feeding box 4b/4c using the clamping joint is that they can be disassembled. When needed, the feeding box 4a/4b/4c is clamped and installed, and when not needed, the feeding box 4a/4b/4c can be unplugged.

The material box 4a/4b/4c has various forms, and its bottom 4a2/4b2/4c2 includes a closed form or a form with a filter. The form with a filter can be used to steam food.

Another important form of the feed box 4a/4b/4c is that its bottom 4a2/4b2/4c2 is empty, and the feed box 4a/4b/4c is also called a feed barrel. By opening the bottom movable partition 3a/3b/3c, the food in the feed barrel 4a/4b/4c can be directly put into the pot body without turning motion, so the volume of the feed barrel can be made larger, and its space utilization rate is higher than that of the feed box. The main feed barrel 4a can be buckled on the top feed cavity 2 through ear buckles 4a51/4a52, and the small feed barrel 4b/4c can also be buckled on the top feed cavity 2 through ear buckles 4b5/4c5. The small feed barrels 4b/4c can also be connected to each other through ear buckles 4bc (optionally, the main feed barrel 4a and the small feed barrel 4b/4c can also be connected through ear buckles 4ab/4ac). The ear buttons 4a51/4a52/4b5/4c5 are provided with a vibration device to make the cooking materials fall out of the feeding tube 4a/4b/4c better.

The reel of the film tearing device can be installed at both ends of the top feeding chamber 2, such as the reel 2pa in Figure 13a. It can also be installed in the middle of the top feeding chamber 2. A middle position of the reel 2pb is between the large feeding box 4a and the small feeding box 4b/4c.

It is also possible to utilize the side wall of the feeding chamber itself and place a feeding partition (or feeding grid plate) in the feeding chamber to replace the feeding box or feeding barrel. The present invention regards the feeding partition or feeding grid as a special form of the feeding box or feeding barrel, that is, a part of the feeding box or feeding barrel, for example, a part of the side wall is removed.

Fig. 13B is a schematic diagram of a feeding barrel. The feeding barrel 4a is connected to the feeding chamber through the ear straps 4a51/4a52 and the fixing holes 4a61/4a62. A vibration device 4av1/4av2 is installed at the ear straps 4a51/4a52 to help the feeding barrel to discharge materials. There is a groove 4as in the side wall 4a1 to reduce the adhesion of cooking ingredients to the side wall 4a1. Cooking ingredients can be put in from the top opening 4ak1 and fall out from the bottom opening 4ak2 (when the bottom opening 4ak2 has a bottom plate, the feeding barrel becomes a feeding box). The soft rubber sealing ring 4a4 of the bottom opening 4ak2 of the feeding barrel is in close contact with the movable partition 3a to prevent some cooking ingredients from leaking out from the bottom of the feeding barrel 4a.

The bottom movable partition 3a can rotate around the rotation axis 3az, and its upper surface has many protrusions/grooves 3as to reduce the contact between the cooking materials and the movable partition 3a. The bottom movable partition has a heating tube 3ah1, which can heat the cooking materials in the feeding cavity, and a heating device such as a light wave heating tube 3ah2 on the back, which can heat the food in the pot. When feeding is needed, the movable partition rotates around the rotation axis 3az to put the cooking materials in the feeding cylinder 3a into the pot, and the vibration device 3av helps the cooking materials fall off the movable partition 3a.

The feeding box 4a includes two left and right stirrers 6ga/6gb. Usually, there are one to two stirrers in the pot body. The stirrer 6gb includes a rotating shaft 6zb, a stirrer vertical rod 612b, and a stirrer cross bar (or cross bar shovel) 613b. Figure 12 and Figure 13B jointly illustrate the stirrer.

The difference between Fig. 13C and Fig. 13B is that the side wall opening 4ak1 is relatively low, or there is a through hole 4ak3 on the side wall, or there is a filter hole at the bottom of the feeding box, so that the steam in the pot body can enter the feeding tube (feeding box) 4a, so as to facilitate cooking such as steaming fish. The steam in the pot body can enter the feeding chamber 3a by opening other movable partitions (for example, opening the movable partition 3b/3c in Fig. 13A). Alternatively, the feeding tube 3a can be changed into a feeding box (at this time, the bottom/side of the feeding box is a solid surface or a surface with filter holes), and the effect of steaming fish can also be achieved. The cooking materials in the feeding tube 4a can be put in manually or from a combined plastic box from the top.

It should be noted that the bottom of the feeding barrel 4a and the surface of the movable partition 3a in Figure 13B are flat, but referring to Figure 2, the movable partition 3a in Figure 13C can be a curved surface shape (such as a pot-like shape). At this time, the side (or bottom) of the feeding barrel (or feeding box) 4a can also be the same curved surface shape.

Fig. 13D is a schematic diagram of a V-shaped food tray formed by the crossbars of the double stirrers in the pot body according to an embodiment of the present invention; the pot body 1 and the top feeding cavity 2, the top plate embedding groove 2ac, the combined plastic box edge pressing groove 2mc, the combined plastic box rolling rod 2p, the top feeding cavity bottom plate 3, the inner feeding box/feeding cylinder 4a, 4b, and the bottom puzzle board 41a of the feeding box 4a. The crossbars (or crossbar shovels) 613a and 613b of the stirrers 6a/6b in the pot body are combined into a V-shaped food tray, which can receive cooking materials. The cooking materials come from manual placement, the top feeding cavity, the feeding box/feeding cylinder 4a or the top combined plastic box. An example is that the V-shaped food tray holds fish and steams the fish using the steam in the pot body 1.

Figures 14, 15 and 16 are top views of the top feeding chamber. Top feeding chamber 2, combined plastic box 2m, edge rolling rod 2pa, middle rolling rod 2pb, bottom movable partition 3a (3a1/3a2)/3b/3c, top cover plate 2a or top supporting rod 2ag. Supporting rod 2ag is mainly used to support combined plastic box 2m. Combined plastic box 2m moves along the direction of the arrow thereon for feeding. The film tearing device of Figure 15 selects the middle rolling rod 2pb, and the total length at the beginning of work is shorter; while Figure 16 selects the edge rolling rod 2pa, and the total length at the beginning of work is longer. Obviously, it is more compact to select the middle rolling rod 2pb.

Obviously, in Figures 9 to 16, it is also feasible to make the feeding box 4a/4b/4c into a fixed form, but the disadvantages are poor flexibility, inconvenience in cleaning and inability to use the large top feeding cavity for cooking.

The present invention is rich in content, including a relatively rigorous solution and an imprecise but simplified and usable solution. The main contents of the present invention are briefly summarized as follows:

The top feeding cavity of the present invention is a feeding cavity itself, and a feeding device can be added outside and inside the feeding cavity. In addition to the feeding boxes, feeding tubes, and combined plastic boxes involved in the present invention, the feeding devices also include other feeding devices such as disc feeding boxes. Among these feeding devices in the feeding cavity, the feeding box that occupies the most volume can be placed in the feeding cavity or taken out from the feeding cavity as needed. The feeding cavity also has heating and cooking functions and pot cover functions. The pot cover function of the bottom feeding cavity is mainly realized by the "bottom plate" to avoid the diffusion of oil smoke in the pot and the impact on the feeding cavity, feeding box/feeding tube, top plate and combined plastic box. Therefore, the feeding opening on the bottom plate is opened and closed by a movable partition. Therefore, the bottom plate can exist alone as a pot cover and has an openable and closable feeding port. The feeding port on the bottom plate can accept feeding from other feeding devices, such as feeding boxes/feeding tubes/combined plastic boxes/turntable feeding boxes.

The bottom plate and the side plate, and the side plate and the top plate can also form a semi-open feeding cavity. Further, the top feeding cavity above the pot body is formed by the bottom plate, the side plate and the top plate.

In particular, a feeding box/feeding cylinder/combined plastic box is arranged in the top feeding cavity, or a combined plastic box feeding device is arranged inside or on the top of the feeding cavity, and the feeding cavity, feeding box/feeding cylinder, and combined plastic box are organically combined for overall optimization consideration. The optimization consideration involves rigorous, fully functional, but relatively complex solutions, and at the same time, from the perspective of patent protection, non-rigorous, incomplete, but relatively simple solutions are involved, and reflected in the claims.

The present invention provides a top feeding cavity, which is a cavity surrounded by a combination of a side plate/bottom plate/top plate, and mainly includes a bottom plate, a side plate, an upper opening feeding cavity formed by a combination of a side plate and a bottom plate, and a feeding cavity formed by a combination of a side plate, a bottom plate and a top plate. The simplest form includes a feeding box/feeding cylinder on the bottom plate, or a feeding box inside the side plate, or a feeding box/feeding cylinder having functions such as heating/stirring.

With the top feeding cavity as the core, a pot cover can be formed for the pot body, which has a stirrer, a heating device and a feeding device. The pot cover of the cooking machine pot body is formed by tilting movement and up and down translation movement, and it is convenient to clean the bottom plate. At this time, the top feeding cavity is called the pot cover feeding cavity. Therefore, in most cases, the top feeding cavity and the pot cover feeding cavity are the same thing. The schematic diagram of the pot body of the present invention uses a stirrer for stir-frying, and the present invention is still effective for stir-frying food by rotating the pot body. The top plate/side plate of the feeding cavity can be opened or closed as needed.

The bottom plate can prevent the diffusion of oil smoke in the pot body, or the bottom plate includes a movable partition, which prevents the top feeding cavity from being affected by the oil smoke and steam of the pot body when closed, and allows the cooking ingredients to fall into the pot body when opened, or allows the steam in the pot body to enter the feeding cavity of the pot cover to cook the food in the feeding cavity of the pot cover. The top feeding cavity of the present invention also has heating and cooking functions, which can meet the secondary re-cooking process requirements of some dishes. The movable partition is spliced by multiple partitions, which can be opened or closed in time to respectively complete the functions of time-sharing feeding, high-temperature steam cooking of food in the feeding cavity, etc.

A top plate with an opening is designed and installed above the top feeding cavity, or the top plate is designed to be detachable, or the top plate can be tilted and opened. A combined plastic box feeding device is installed at the upper or lower part of the top feeding cavity, and its main component is a reel of a film tearing device. The reel is designed to be detachable to avoid the reel affecting other feeding devices. The reel is located near the side wall or at some position in the middle of the top feeding cavity.

The inventors disclosed patents CN2448232 in 2000 and CN1364436 in 2001, which involve introducing a "small box" for feeding in the pot cover. These small boxes do not have heating and cooking functions, and at the same time, these small boxes divide the pot cover into fixed spaces, so it is difficult to place larger cooking ingredients such as a whole fish. The top feeding cavity of the present invention is a "large cavity", and its size is equivalent to the pot body opening, so that multiple (for example, more than two) small feeding boxes/feeding cylinders can be installed in the feeding cavity. By making the feeding box and the feeding cylinder pluggable, the pot cover cavity can be converted between the "small box" and the "large cavity", expanding the function of the pot cover feeding cavity, with a larger space, it is possible to introduce a heating, liquid feeding device, a stirrer and a combined plastic box feeding device, so that it is possible to use the pot cover feeding cavity for grilling, steaming and other cooking. If necessary, the bottom plate of the feeding cavity is made into a curved pot body. Furthermore, the feeding box/feeding barrel in the top feeding cavity has the functions of heating, stirring, opening the bottom plate, manual feeding, combined plastic box feeding, liquid feeding and air jetting, which can complete some secondary cooking processes and clean the feeding box/feeding barrel.

Another special case is to optimize the above-mentioned feeding chamber and the feeding box/feeding barrel together to realize the functions of feeding and secondary return. In this case, the bottom plate and the feeding box/feeding barrel are fused (for example, the movable partition of the bottom plate and the bottom panel of the feeding box are combined into one), and are closely combined together.

The present invention also discloses a feeding box or feeding tube in the top feeding cavity (or the pot cover feeding cavity). In particular, the feeding box or feeding tube includes a large and two small "品"-shaped structure, the large feeding box or feeding tube is the main feeding box or main feeding tube, located above the "品" shape, and the two small feeding boxes/feeding tubes are located side by side below the "品" shape. The feeding box/feeding tube of this structure can meet most cooking requirements. At the same time, the "品"-shaped structure also allows the structure of the film tearing device to be placed in the gap between the main feeding box/main feeding tube and the small feeding box/small feeding tube.

Vibration makes feeding of feeding box or feeding barrel smoother. Especially for feeding barrel, the resistance between food and the side wall of feeding barrel is often large, which makes food fall less smoothly. Vibration is transmitted to feeding barrel through feeding barrel ear, which plays the effect of assisting feeding.

The present invention can naturally be extended to a new type of bread machine or electric rice cooker.

The top feeding cavity of the present invention can be used in a cooking machine that stirs food with a stirrer and a cooking machine that stirs food with a rotating pot. The present invention is associated with previous patents related to intelligent kitchen appliances (cooking machines, rice cookers, dishwashers).
