Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of automatic or automanual, non-rotating/non-convertible pot utensils ' movement method, this pot utensils ' movement method can be in position with carry out acceleration opportunity, can realize turning over the action of pot and rolling pot, pan needn't rotate or overturn and can make the motion with respect to the pan surface of materials overturning in the pan, turn-over and/or do.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of cooking pot moving device of realizing above-mentioned pot utensils ' movement method.
An order more of the present invention provides a kind of automatic or automanual cooking device, and this cooking device has adopted above-mentioned cooking pot moving device and can realize above-mentioned pot utensils ' movement method.
In order to realize above-mentioned goal of the invention, on the one hand, inventor of the present invention is through a large amount of experiments, invented a kind of automatic or automanual, non-rotating/non-convertible pot utensils ' movement method, this method comprises:
(1) pan is moved between two end points;
(2) in above-mentioned motion process, make and be certain slanted angle θ between pan and its direction of motion, wherein, 0 °<θ<180 °;
(3) make pan in motion process, produce acceleration.
The motion of above-mentioned pan between two end points is preferably reciprocating motion.
In above-mentioned method, All Time at pot utensils ' movement, or the part period especially desire to make the period of materials overturning, make that the certain slanted angle θ of maintenance is very important between pan and its direction of motion, be that pan is not parallel to the direction of motion and places, but and have certain included angle between the direction of motion.Just because of the existence of this angle, add the acceleration in the motion process, can be so that the cooking material in the pan be automatically stirred and/or turn-over at the volley.When shaking the pot motion, the existence of above-mentioned angle theta, helpful for the relative motion between material and the pan, in particular cases, also can make this angle is zero, promptly carries out simple rolling pot motion.
Among the present invention, be certain slanted angle between above-mentioned pan and the pot utensils ' movement direction and can be understood as between the position that drives material movement in the pan and its direction of motion in a certain angle.The position that drives material movement in the pan be meant pan begin to carry out a certain motion, begin certain once add/when slowing down or a certain moment at the volley (for example turn over the pot motion begins before), the material main body is residing position in pan, and conduct to material at this position that moves through of pan.Material can be placed this position in advance or be moved to this position from other position of pan.Can be understood as at an angle between this position and its direction of motion between the direction of motion of the tangent line of this position central point and this position central point an angle theta is arranged; So-called tangent line then is and the perpendicular straight line of the vertical line of this position central point.The size of angle theta is different because of pan shape/characteristic, material type and quantity, power source and motion characteristic, culinary art demand etc., normally below 25 °, sometimes even can be so small to have only the several years, can certainly be other angle.θ when turning over pot, but the mat explanation of example down helps to understand: suppose that the pan level moves right, it is low right high pan can be arranged to a left side, make material be in the left side lower position before turning over pot, be that the position of above-mentioned drive material movement is departed from pan and is centered close to lower one side, left side, θ can be understood as this position central point direction of motion, and to be horizontal line rotate to the angle that is turned over when overlapping with the tangent line of this position central point around this point.When for example moving back and forth the rolling pot, even pan itself keeps translation, angle does not take place changes, above-mentioned angle toward with two motion processes again in also can be different.And owing to material moves in pan, so above-mentioned angle can change.The scope of medium dip angle theta of the present invention is 0 °<θ<180 °; Preferably, slanted angle θ is: 0 °<θ<25 ° or 155 °<θ<180 °.
If when setting above-mentioned angle and have any problem according to the tangent line at center, above-mentioned position in the practicality, can set as reference with other position of pan, promptly set above-mentioned angle indirectly, fixing conversion relation is arranged because between these angles be by the angle of setting between other position and the pot utensils ' movement direction.For example when the shape of pan is comparatively regular, as the Chinese style frying pan, this angle can be set for reference on pot mouthful plane, promptly sets this angle by the angle between setting pot mouthful plane and the pot utensils ' movement direction, the circumference of the top when the pot mouth is defined as the pan horizontal positioned herein.For example can set above-mentioned angle again by the corner of setting the rotating shaft on the pan.For example the angle between the vertical line of the normal direction by setting center, the pan the bottom of a pan and the direction of motion is set θ again.It should be noted that the situation difference that distributes owing to material, the shape at the position of above-mentioned pan inner wall belt animal material motion is normally irregular, so this above-mentioned position central point is actually an approximate center point or general central point.In particular cases, material might be distributed in two or more positions in the pan, and the position of described pan inner wall belt animal material motion this moment typically refers to the position at more, the main material of material place, perhaps to the maximum position of above-mentioned movement conduction contribution.
In the said method, the angle initialization of slanted angle or regulate and can be undertaken by staff also can be carried out by the staff operating mechanism, can also be under the control/prompting of control system automatic or semi-automatic carrying out, but preferably under the control of control system, carry out automatically.
Preferably, in pot utensils ' movement method of the present invention, the motion of above-mentioned pan between two end points is a kind of rectilinear motion of along continuous straight runs, especially a kind of straight reciprocating motion; And pan is moving near the end points place or is leaving end points place generation acceleration.
In addition, in pot utensils ' movement method of the present invention, slanted angle θ can remain unchanged in pan is moved to the single stroke of another end points by an end points, also can change.
