Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative only for the purpose of explaining the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

An automatic food processor 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1 to 8.

An automatic food processor 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: the food heating device comprises a machine body 1, a refrigerating mechanism (not shown) for refrigerating a storage chamber 101, a heating mechanism (not shown) for heating the heating chamber 102, and a conveying mechanism 2 for transferring food between the storage chamber 101 and the heating chamber 102, wherein the machine body 1 defines the storage chamber 101 and the heating chamber 102 which are separated from each other.

The food to be heated can be pre-stored in the storage chamber 101 for low-temperature refrigeration, and when the time point of heating is reached, the food is transferred from the storage chamber 101 to the heating chamber 102 by the conveying mechanism 2. When the heated food needs to be cooled down, the food can be transferred from the heating chamber 102 to the storage chamber 101 by the carrying mechanism 2. The food can be cryogenically preserved in the storage compartment 101 before waiting for heating, reducing the risk of food spoilage. Since the conveying mechanism 2 completes the transfer of the food between the storage compartment 101 and the heating chamber 102, the user is not required to manually transfer the food at the machine side, saving the user a lot of time. In addition, the automatic operation of the conveying mechanism 2 also avoids the shortage of dining time caused by the fact that the user forgets to heat food.

Here, the storage chamber 101 and the heating chamber 102 are provided in the machine body 1 at a distance from each other, the cold in the storage chamber 101 has a small influence on the heating mechanism, the heat in the heating chamber 102 has a small influence on the cooling mechanism, and the automatic food processor 100 is reliable and safe as a whole. The refrigerating mechanism only needs to refrigerate the storage chamber 101, the heating mechanism only needs to heat the heating chamber 102, the cold energy stored in the refrigerating chamber can refrigerate the food for one time or multiple times, the heat stored in the heating chamber 102 can heat the food for one time or multiple times, and compared with a processor with alternating cold and heat, the automatic food processor 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention is more energy-saving.

The automatic food processor 100 of the embodiment of the invention has a wide application range, and can be used in families, hotels, enterprises and public institutions and factories.

Taking a household application as an example, people usually take the hours of five and six pm in the next shift, and may wait to eat dinner seven and eight pm later when the food preparation is started again after the next shift. By adopting the automatic food processor 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the food can be put into the storage chamber 101 for refrigeration in the evening or the morning in advance, the program is set, and the food is transferred from the storage chamber 101 to the heating chamber 102 before work, so that the user can eat dinner immediately after going home. Of course, the time for heating in advance is different according to different food types, the time for heating in advance is short if steamed bread is to be heated, and the time for heating in advance is longer if salted raw meat is to be cooked. Of course, in addition to the above, parameters such as the heating form and the heating temperature variation process may be preset.

In each enterprise and public institution and each factory, a considerable part of employees are brought to work with meals. Most units are not provided with a meal heating staff, and the staff with meals usually puts a lunch box into a refrigerator arranged in the unit in the morning, takes out the lunch box when the lunch box is in the noon, and then queues the lunch box at a microwave oven and a cooking bench for heating. If the automatic food processor 100 provided by the embodiment of the invention is arranged in the units and factories, the workers in the morning can directly put the lunch boxes into the storage chamber 101, and can directly take out the lunch boxes from the heating chamber 102 for eating until the lunch time, so that the time for the workers to queue for hot meal is saved.

In the automatic food processor 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, a controller (not shown) is required to be configured, and the controller controls the overall automatic operation of the machine. Optionally, the machine body 1 may be provided with a plurality of control buttons or a control screen, which is convenient for inputting control parameters. Optionally, a display screen is provided on the machine body 1 to display machine operating parameters.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the body 1 comprises: a cabinet 11 and a door 12, the cabinet 11 defining a storage chamber 101 and a heating chamber 102 therein, the cabinet 11 having a storage chamber port 113 communicating with the storage chamber 101 and a heating chamber port 114 communicating with the heating chamber 102, the door 12 opening and closing the storage chamber port 113 and the heating chamber port 114.

Specifically, the automatic food processor 100 includes an automatic door opening and closing mechanism (not shown) provided on the cabinet 11 and for driving the door 12 to open and close. Wherein the carrying mechanism 2 is used for transferring the food between the storage compartment 101 and the heating compartment 102 from the outside of the cabinet 11 after the door 12 is opened. Since the door 12 can be automatically opened, the carrying mechanism 2 can take the food out of the storage compartment 101 through the compartment opening 113 from the outside and then put the food into the heating compartment 102 through the compartment opening 114. In the description of the present invention, it is to be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified or limited, the terms "connected" and "connected" are to be interpreted broadly, e.g., as being fixed or detachable or integrally connected; can be mechanically or electrically connected; they may be connected directly or indirectly through intervening media, or they may be interconnected between two elements. The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

Optionally, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism comprises: the door motor is used for driving the door screw rod or the door nut to rotate. That is, the door 12 is openable and closable by a screw-nut mechanism. Of course, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto, and the door 12 is provided as a translation switch in the example shown in fig. 1, and the door 12 may be provided as a rotation switch or a folding switch (similar to a door of a bus) by a link in other examples. Correspondingly, the automatic door opening and closing mechanism may include a door motor connected to the door shaft of the door 12, and the automatic door opening and closing mechanism may also be an air cylinder, etc., which is not limited herein.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the door 12 includes a storage door 121 and a hot door 122, the storage door 121 opening and closing the storage port 113, and the hot door 122 opening and closing the hot port 114. The storage door 121 and the heating door 122 may be fixed to each other, and the storage door 121 and the heating door 122 may be two doors that are opened and closed independently of each other.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 7, a communication port 115 is provided between the storage compartment 101 and the heating chamber 102, the body 1 further includes a partition door 13 for opening and closing the communication port 115, and the automatic food processor 100 includes a partition driving mechanism (not shown) provided on the cabinet 11 and connected to the partition door 13 to control opening and closing of the door partition door 13. Wherein the carrying mechanism 2 is used for transferring the food between the storage compartment 101 and the heating chamber 102 through the communication port 115 after the compartment door 13 is opened. With this arrangement, the food transfer process is not easily visible from the outside of the automatic food processor 100, thereby improving the appearance of the automatic food processor 100. And the added food transfer mode enriches the diversity design of the food automatic processor 100.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the cabinet door 12 may not be disposed on the body 1. As shown in fig. 8, the cabinet 11 includes a storage half-tank 111 and a hot half-tank 112, the storage half-tank 111 defines a storage chamber 101 therein, and the hot half-tank 112 is provided therein. When the two are facing each other, a communication opening 115 is provided, and a movable compartment door 13 is provided therebetween. The body 1 is enclosed when the two are coupled toward each other, and the storage chamber 101 or the heating chamber 102 is opened when the two are opened toward each other.

The storage half-tank 111 and the hot half-tank 112 may be slid in parallel therebetween, and the body 1 is opened when the two are slid away from each other, and the body 1 is closed when the two are slid toward each other. Or the storage half-box 111 and the hot half-box 112 are hinged by rotation, and the machine body 1 can be opened and closed like a shell.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 8, the automatic food processor 100 includes a body opening structure 4 for driving opening and closing between the storage half-tank 111 and the hot half-tank 112, and the body opening structure 4 may be a screw-nut mechanism, a cylinder structure, or the like.

As can be seen from fig. 7 and 8, when the conveying mechanism 2 transfers the food through the communication port 114, the conveying mechanism 2 may be operated inside the body 1, and the conveying mechanism 2 may be operated outside when the storage half-tank 111 and the hot half-tank 112 are opened.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the machine body 1 includes a plurality of racks 14, each rack 14 includes one or more layers of interlayers, and the racks 14 are respectively: a storage rack 141 and a hot-chamber rack 142, wherein the storage rack 141 is disposed in the storage chamber 101, and the hot-chamber rack 142 is disposed in the heating chamber 102. The arrangement of the rack 14 can improve the convenience of the automatic food processor 100. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

The rack 14 can be provided with multiple layers of interlayers, so that when the amount of food to be stored is large, the food can be scattered and placed, and the conveying mechanism 2 can take the food better when the food is transferred conveniently.

Wherein, the rack 14 can be extended out of the machine body 1 when the user needs to put in food, so that the operation of the user is more convenient.

Specifically, the storage compartment racks 141 may slide into or out of the storage compartment 101, and the hot compartment racks 142 may slide into or out of the heating compartment 102. The rack 14 is slidably arranged on the machine body 1, so that when a user stores food, the user can slide the rack 14 out of the machine body 1 and then place the food.

Of course, the rack 14 can be configured in various configurations according to the working principle and the structural design of the automatic food processor 100. The rack 14 may be slidably disposed on the machine body 1, the rack 14 may also be stationary, and the rack 14 may also be rotatably connected to the machine body 1. The racks 14 may have only a single layer, or the racks 14 may have multiple layers.

In some embodiments, when the storage rack 141 and the hot chamber rack 142 are slidably disposed on the machine body 1, a rack sliding mechanism (not shown) may be correspondingly disposed. The shelf sliding mechanism includes: a storage sliding mechanism for driving the storage rack 141 to slide in or out from the storage opening 113, and a hot section sliding mechanism for driving the hot section rack 142 to slide in or out from the hot section opening 114. Thus, the rack 14 can be automatically extended and slid in, and the convenience of the user can be further improved.

In some embodiments, the food rack 14 needs to be automatically extended out of the machine body 1 when the food is transferred, and the conveying mechanism 2 has a large operation space after being extended out of the machine body 1, so that the food is more convenient to transfer.

In some embodiments, the rack 14 is fixed on the door 12, for example, in fig. 1-3, the door 12 includes a storage door 121 and a hot chamber door 122, the storage rack 141 is fixed on the storage door 121, and the hot chamber rack 142 is fixed on the hot chamber door 122, in which case the rack sliding mechanism may be integrated with the automatic door opening and closing mechanism, and as long as the rack 14 is pushed to slide, the door 12 will slide along with it, so as to reduce the component structure, which is beneficial to the compactness of the whole processor.

Of course, if the door 12 and the racks 14 are separate, the door 12 may be automatically opened and closed by an automatic door opening and closing mechanism, and the racks 14 may be automatically slid by a rack sliding mechanism.

In some embodiments, the door 12 is automatically closed by a spring, and the rack 14 is automatically opened and closed by a rotating mechanism and a rack sliding mechanism. When the rack 14 extends out of the machine body 1, the door 12 is pushed open, and when the rack 14 retracts into the machine body 1, the door 12 is automatically closed through a spring.

In another embodiment, the machine body 1 is not provided with the door 12, and the rack 14 may be fixed, or the rack 14 may be movable.

The rack sliding mechanism may have the same structure as the automatic door opening and closing mechanism, i.e. the parallel sliding is realized by the screw-nut mechanism, or may have other structural forms, such as the rack 14 can be driven to extend into and slide out by the air cylinder.

Furthermore, the storage rack 141 and the hot-chamber rack 142 can be fixed together, so that the two racks 14 can be moved in and out simultaneously, and when the racks 14 need to be driven to slide by the rack sliding mechanism, the storage sliding mechanism and the hot-part sliding mechanism can be combined into a whole, thereby saving the number of components. The storage rack 141 and the hot chamber rack 142 may also be separate, each rack 14 being individually movable.

In the example of fig. 1, the storage port 113 and the hot chamber port 114 are disposed at the top of the cabinet 11, the rack 14 slides in the vertical direction, and multiple rows of partitions are disposed on the rack, each row of partitions is disposed horizontally, and the multiple rows of partitions are arranged vertically. However, in other examples of the present invention, the storage opening 113 and the hot chamber opening 114 may be disposed on the side surface or even the bottom surface, and the racks 14 may horizontally extend from the front, the back, the left, and the right of the cabinet 11, or vertically extend from the bottom and the top. The choice of which food automated processor 100 to use depends on the environmental needs of the processor application.

In the description of the present invention, it is to be understood that the terms "vertical", "lateral", "horizontal", "vertical", "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on those shown in the drawings, and are only for convenience of description and simplicity of description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element being referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and thus, are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1-4, the automatic food processor 100 is configured with one or more carriers 3 for carrying food, and the carrying mechanism 2 is engaged with the carrier 3 when food is to be transferred. Here, the automatic food processor 100 is provided with the carrier 3 in order to provide a carrier structure more suitable for the carrying mechanism 2 and facilitate the carrying mechanism 2 to take the carrier 3.

As can be imagined, the containers for holding food in the ordinary families are pots, bowls and dishes, and most of the containers are easy to slip due to the magnetic tools. When the automatic food processor 100 is applied to a household, the situation that the magnetic tool slips and falls down can be avoided by adopting a uniform carrier.

In some cases, the automatic food processor 100 may not be equipped with the carrier 3, for example, in a working place, when a lunch box is used for containing food, the lunch box has a substantially uniform shape in the market, and a common lunch box can be very well taken at the fastening position of the lunch box cover. In order to adapt to the situation, the conveying mechanism 2 in the automatic food processor 100 can be matched with the structure of the lunch box, the lunch box can be taken conveniently, and the processor can store more lunch boxes after the carrier 3 is removed.

When the automatic food processor 100 is configured with the carrier 3 to heat food, the food can be directly placed on the carrier 3, or the food can be placed on the carrier 3 in a container or package.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, the carrier 3 includes: a storage box 31 with an open top and a matching cover 32 covering the storage box 31, the conveying mechanism 2 can match with the storage box 31. The matching cover 32 is adopted to cover the containing box 31, so that an independent space is formed in each carrier 3, the smell of food is prevented from being mixed during storage and heating, and the food can be prevented from falling out of the carriers 3.

The structure of the carrier 3 may be provided in various forms according to the type of food and the heating manner. For example, the receptacle 31 may be provided without the mating lid 32, and the carrier 3 may be formed as a ring-shaped frame in which a container containing food may be placed. Still another carrier 3 is provided with a heat conductor at the bottom for high temperature cooking, and the carrier 3 can be directly placed at a heat source after being transferred to the heating chamber 102 for high temperature roasting or braising of food.

In some examples, the bottom of the carrier 3 is a heat conductor, and the top of the carrier is a non-heat conductor, so that the food can be heated or refrigerated quickly without hurting hands when the carrier 3 is taken.
