By controlling the relative positions of the second heat generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat transfer container 2301, the food in the second heat transfer container 2301 can be intermittently heated under the condition that the second heat generating mechanism 2302 is continuously started, so that the food cooking device is better suitable for the cooking conditions of different foods, the second heat generating mechanism 2302 does not need to be frequently started and stopped, and the adverse effect on the service life of the second heat generating mechanism 2302 is reduced.

In some embodiments, the number of the cooking spaces is more than two, and by increasing the number of the cooking spaces, multiple food materials can be cooked simultaneously or continuously within a certain time, so that the cooking efficiency of the food materials is effectively increased, and the meal serving speed is increased. Specifically, the number of the first cooking zones 2271 is two or more, and the number of the second cooking zones 2305 is two or more; further, since the second cooking zone 2305 is for carrying ingredients, the number of the second cooking zone 2305 may be greater than that of the first cooking zone 2271, so that the ingredients are prepared to the second cooking zone 2305 before entering the cooking space, which is beneficial to realize continuous feeding and cooking.

First, the structure of the second heating module 230 in the present embodiment will be described.

Referring to fig. 14 to 16, the second heat transfer container 2301 includes at least two second cooking areas 2305 for holding food materials, and by increasing the number of the second cooking areas 2305, multiple food materials can be cooked at the same time within a certain time, so that the cooking efficiency of the food materials is effectively increased, and the meal serving speed is increased. As an alternative embodiment, the second cooking zones 2305 are independent of each other. Specifically, the second heat transfer container 2301 includes at least two cooking cavities, and independent second cooking regions 2305 are formed in a single cooking cavity, and since the second cooking regions 2305 are independent from each other, different food materials can be prevented from being tainted with each other when the same second heat transfer container 2301 is cooked. As another alternative embodiment, in this embodiment, the second heat transfer container 2301 has a plate shape, and the top surface of the second heat transfer container 2301 forms each second cooking zone 2305. Note that, in the present application, the top surface of the second heat transfer container 2301 refers to an end surface thereof which is away from the second heat generation mechanism 2302 and can be used for carrying food, and correspondingly, the bottom surface of the second heat transfer container 2301 refers to an end surface thereof which is close to the second heat generation mechanism 2302; similarly, the top surface of the second heat generation mechanism 2302 refers to its end surface close to the second heat transfer container 2301. Division among the second cooking areas 2305 is not blocked by a physical structure serving as a boundary, so that in the process of taking and placing food materials into and out of the second heat transfer container 2301, a certain second cooking area 2305 does not need to be very accurately aligned, the position error in the process of taking and placing food materials can be contained, the cooking effect is not influenced even if the food materials are placed slightly out of the second cooking area 2305, the requirement on the accuracy of taking, placing and positioning of the food materials is reduced, and the structure is favorably simplified. Further, the second heat transfer container 2301 may be covered with a film body such as teflon paper or the like for easy attachment and detachment cleaning. Of course, if necessary, a rib may be added to the edge of the second heat transfer container 2301 to prevent the liquid food material such as grease in the second heat transfer container 2301 from dropping from the second heat transfer container 2301 and causing contamination. The second heating mechanism 2302 includes a second heating plate, optionally, the second heating plate is a metal plate with good heat transfer performance, and a heating wire is disposed in the metal plate and can be electrically connected to a power supply. When the second heat generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat transfer container 2301 are in the first relative position, the second heat generating mechanism 2302 can transfer heat to at least two second cooking zones 2305 through contact, and when the second heat generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat transfer container 2301 are in the second relative position, the second heat generating plate is separated from the second heat transfer container 2301, and the adjacent second cooking zones 2305 can form a positional change. When the second heat generating plate is attached to and in contact with the bottom surface of the second heat transfer container 2301, the second heat generating plate conducts heat to the second cooking zone 2305 in a heat conduction heat transfer manner, thereby heating the food in the second cooking zone 2305. Since the second heat generating plate is thermally conductive through heat conduction, only when the second heat transfer container 2301 is in contact with the second heat generating plate, the heat generated from the second heat generating plate can be largely conducted to the second cooking zone 2305; when second heat transfer container 2301 and the separation of second heating plate, the second heating plate is difficult to carry out efficient heat-conduction through air medium to avoid heating up the continuation of second cooking zone 2305, prevent that the edible material zooms because of being heated in succession. In addition, because the heat transfer efficiency of the air medium is low, the heat of the second heat transfer container 2301 separated from the second heating plate cannot be dissipated quickly, and a certain heat preservation effect can be achieved on food materials in the second cooking areas 2305.

When the second heat generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat transfer container 2301 are in the first relative position, the second heat generating plate can cover the bottom end surface of the second cooking zone 2305, thereby contacting and transferring heat to the second cooking zone 2305. It should be noted that the bottom end surface of the second cooking zone 2305 in this application refers to the projection of the second cooking zone 2305 on the plane of the bottom surface of the second heat transfer container 2301. As an optional implementation manner, the number of the second heat-generating plates is two or more, the number of the second heat-generating plates corresponds to the number of the second cooking areas 2305 one by one, that is, each second heat-generating plate covers the bottom end surface of the corresponding second cooking area 2305, so that different intermittent heating times and different heating temperatures are controlled for different second cooking areas 2305, and the application range is wide. As another alternative embodiment, the number of the second heat generating plates is one, and a single second heat generating plate covers the bottom end surfaces of at least two second cooking zones 2305, so that more than two second cooking zones 2305 are heated at the same time, and the heating of each second cooking zone 2305 is equalized; more importantly, in this embodiment, since the single second heat-generating plate covers the bottom end surfaces of the two second cooking regions 2305 at the same time, the position between the two second cooking regions 2305 can be covered by the second heat-generating plate at the same time, and when the food material is not aligned with the second cooking regions 2305 and extends out of the second cooking regions 2305, the food material deviated from the second cooking regions 2305 can be heated equally, which is beneficial to reducing the accuracy required for throwing the food material.

The structure of the first heating module 220 in this embodiment will be described.

Referring to fig. 12 to 13, the first heat transfer container 227 includes two alternative embodiments, in the same manner as the second heat transfer container 2301. As an alternative embodiment, the first cooking zones 2271 are independent from each other; as another alternative, the first heat transfer container 227 has a plate shape, and the bottom surface of the first heat transfer container 227 forms each first cooking area 2271, and in this application, the bottom surface of the first heat transfer container 227 refers to an end surface thereof away from the first heating mechanism 222. Since the division between the second cooking zones 2305 does not have a physical structure as a boundary barrier, in combination with the above embodiment, the cooking space formed between the first cooking zone 2271 and the second cooking zone 2305 does not have a physical structure boundary, so as to further reduce the accuracy of food material distribution, and even if the food material distribution is slightly inclined, the food material can be still guaranteed to be normally heated without affecting the cooking effect. Further, the second heat transfer container 2301 may be entirely covered with a heat transfer film such as teflon paper or the like to facilitate disassembly and assembly for cleaning.

The first heating mechanism 222 includes a first heating plate, and optionally, the heating plate is a metal plate with good heat transfer performance, and a heating wire is disposed in the metal plate and electrically connected to a power supply. When the first heating plate is attached to and contacted with the top surface of the first heat transfer container 227, the first heating plate conducts heat to the first cooking area 2271 in a heat conduction heat transfer mode, and the first cooking area 2271 covers the food materials, so that the food materials covered by the first cooking area 2271 can be heated. Optionally, the first heat generating plate is coupled to the first heat transfer container 227 by a tab to facilitate removal and replacement.

The first heat generating plate covers all top end surfaces of the first cooking zones 2271. It should be noted that the top surface of the first cooking zone 2271 is referred to herein as the projection of the first cooking zone 2271 onto the plane of the top surface of the first heat transfer container 227. As an optional implementation manner, the number of the first heating plates is more than two, the number of the first heating plates corresponds to the number of the first cooking areas 2271 one by one, that is, each first heating plate covers the top end surface of the corresponding first cooking area 2271, so that different intermittent heating times and different heating temperatures are controlled for different first cooking areas 2271, and the application range is wide. As another alternative, the number of the first heat-generating plates is one, and a single first heat-generating plate covers top end surfaces of all the first cooking zones 2271, so that all the first cooking zones 2271 are heated at the same time, and the heating of each first cooking zone 2271 is equalized; more importantly, in this embodiment, since the single first heat-generating plate covers the top end surfaces of the two first cooking zones 2271 at the same time, the position between the two first cooking zones 2271 is also covered by the first heat-generating plate at the same time, and when the food material cannot be completely aligned with the first cooking zone 2271 and extends out of the first cooking zone 2271, the food material which extends out of the first cooking zone 2271 can be heated equally, which is beneficial to reducing the precision required for throwing the food material.

In some embodiments, the food cooking module further comprises a second movement mechanism, when the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat-transfer container 2301 are in a second relative position, the second movement mechanism can drive the second heat-transfer container 2301 to move along a second direction to form a position change adjacent to the second cooking zone 2305, and since the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 and the second heat-transfer container 2301 are separated from each other at the time, when the second heat-transfer container 2301 moves, the second heat-transfer container 2301 and the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 do not contact with each other to form friction, so that the resistance to the moving process is reduced, the abrasion of the second heat-transfer container 2301 and the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 is avoided, and the service life is prolonged.

In the embodiment, the cooking areas a and b are used for explanation, and the position conversion of the adjacent cooking areas comprises one of the following:

1. cooking zone a switches the position of cooking zone b, and cooking zone b switches the position of cooking zone a;

2. cooking area a is switched to the position of cooking area b, and cooking area b is switched to other positions, such as the area corresponding to the pick-and-place station in the later embodiment.

A taking and placing station and a cooking station are arranged along the second direction, and the first heating module 220 is configured corresponding to the cooking station. When the second moving mechanism drives the second heat transfer container 2301 to move in the second direction, the second cooking zone 2305 passes through the pick-and-place station and the cooking station in sequence. A robotic arm for gripping food material may be arranged at the pick-and-place station, in particular, the robotic arm may grip and release food material to the second cooking zone 2305 at the pick-and-place station, the second heat transfer container 2301 moves in the second direction, and the food material enters the cooking station with the second heat transfer container 2301 and is heated by the first heating module 220 and the second heating module 230 in cooperation.

When the number of the cooking spaces is two or more, optionally, there are two feeding manners. As an optional implementation manner, the mechanical arm respectively throws the food materials onto all the second cooking areas 2305 located at the taking and placing station, and after the throwing is completed, the second heat transfer container 2301 moves along the second direction again, so that the second cooking areas 2305 carrying the food materials enter the cooking station together, and thus more food materials are cooked simultaneously, the cooking efficiency is improved, and the time is saved. As another alternative, in this embodiment, the cooking stations include at least two cooking sub-stations 2352 arranged in sequence along the second direction, and when the first and

second heating modules

220 and 230 are in the cooking position, each cooking space is configured corresponding to each cooking sub-station 2352. Specifically, after the robotic arm grabs the food material and drops it into the second cooking zone 2305, which is now at the pick-and-place station, the second heat transfer container 2301 moves in the second direction, the food material enters the cooking space at the first cooking sub-station 2352 along with the second cooking zone 2305 to be heated, then enters the cooking space at the next cooking sub-station 2352 along with the second cooking zone 2305 to be heated, while another food material dropped at the pick-and-place station enters the first cooking sub-station 2352, and so on. Because can throw the material simultaneously and cook, greatly accelerated the culinary art speed, and can realize continuous ejection of compact, save time.

In certain embodiments, optionally, the second direction is linear, i.e., each second cooking zone 2305 is also linearly distributed on the second heat transfer container 2301. The second motion mechanism drives the second heat transfer container 2301 to move along the second direction, each second cooking area 2305 is moved into each cooking sub-station 2352 after receiving the feeding materials at the taking and placing station, and when the second cooking area 2305 is at the last cooking sub-station 2352, namely after the cooking sub-station 2352 farthest from the taking and placing station finishes heating, the second heat transfer container 2301 can move along the reverse direction of the first direction to reset, so that the mechanical arm takes away the cooked materials; a material taking mechanical arm can also be arranged at the cooking station 2352, and the material taking mechanical arm takes away the food material after the food material is heated at the cooking station 2352. The material taking mechanical arm takes away the food material in the second cooking area 2305 of the last cooking branch 2352 in sequence, and after the last food material on the second heat transfer container 2301 is taken away, the second heat transfer container 2301 moves in the opposite direction of the second direction until the second cooking area 2305 closest to the material taking mechanical arm moves to the taking and placing station to wait for the material feeding again. The second heat transfer container 2301 can continuously cook multiple portions of food under the driving of the second motion mechanism, and the moving path of the second heat transfer container 2301 is simple, and can be driven by simple power components such as linear modules, so that the structure is effectively simplified.

As an alternative to the above-described embodiment, with combined reference to fig. 15, in this embodiment, the second direction is in the shape of a closed loop, i.e., each second cooking zone 2305 is also arranged on the second heat transfer container 2301 in the circumferential direction. The second movement mechanism drives the second heat transfer container 2301 to rotate, and the movement flow of one of the second cooking zones 2305 is exemplified. After the second cooking area 2305 receives the feeding at the taking and placing station, the materials enter the cooking sub-stations 2352 in sequence along the second direction, and are stopped at the cooking sub-stations 2352 to be heated, when the second cooking area 2305 passes through the last cooking sub-station 2352, the second movement mechanism continues to drive the second heat transfer container 2301 to move along the second direction, the second cooking area 2305 can enter the taking and placing station again, the mechanical arm takes the cooked food materials away, then puts the next food materials into the second cooking area 2305, then the second heat transfer container 2301 continues to rotate under the driving of the second movement mechanism, and other second cooking areas 2305 are the same. Because the second direction is closed hoop, consequently second culinary art district 2305 can get back to again along the second direction and get and put the station after leaving last culinary art branch station 2352, need not to consume extra reset time, makes the rhythm of culinary art compacter, can not only carry out continuous culinary art to the edible material, can also export the edible material after the culinary art in succession, raises the efficiency. Further, the taking and placing station is divided into a discharging station 2351 for discharging food raw materials and a taking station 2353 for taking away the cooked food materials, the taking station 2353 and the discharging station 2351 are adjacently arranged along the second direction, and the taking station 2353 and the discharging station 2351 are respectively provided with mechanical arms. Similarly, taking the motion flow of one of the second cooking areas 2305 as an example, the mechanical arm at the discharge station 2351 drops the food material into the second cooking area 2305 located at the discharge station 2351, then the food material sequentially enters each cooking sub-station 2352 along the motion of the second heat transfer container 2301, then enters the material taking station 2353 through the second cooking area 2305 of the last cooking sub-station 2352, the cooked food material is taken away by the mechanical arm at the material taking station 2353, and the second cooking area 2305 continues to move to the discharge station 2351 to receive the dropping of the food material again. Because the material taking station 2353 and the material discharging station 2351 are independent, cooked food materials can be taken away while the food materials are discharged, so that the cooking efficiency is further improved, and continuous cooking is facilitated; in addition, mechanical arms capable of grabbing food materials are arranged on the material taking station 2353 and the material discharging station 2351 respectively, raw and cooked separation of the food materials can be achieved, and food can be made safely and sanitarily.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 18, the second moving mechanism includes a first engaging member 2303, a second engaging member 2304 and a second power source 232, the first engaging member 2303 is disposed on the second heat transfer container 2301 along the second direction, the second power source 232 is used for driving the second engaging member 2304 and the first engaging member 2303 to move relatively, and since the first engaging member 2303 and the second engaging member 2304 are engaged with each other, the movement of the second heat transfer container 2301 can be controlled more precisely, so that each second cooking zone 2305 can be positioned more precisely at each station, especially at the pick-and-place station, and the reliable performance of the pick-and-place process can be ensured. Optionally, when the second direction is circumferential, first engagement member 2303 is annular, and the teeth are located inside first engagement member 2303; accordingly, second engagement member 2304 may be a gear and second power source 232 may be a motor. The first engaging member 2303 having a ring shape is fixed below the second heat transfer container 2301, the second engaging member 2304 is located in the first engaging member 2303, and when the second power source 232 is activated, the gear serving as the second engaging member 2304 rotates, so that the gear is engaged with the first engaging member 2303, and the second heat transfer container 2301 is driven to move in the second direction.

Referring to fig. 16 to 17, the food processing module further includes a first movement mechanism 234, the first movement mechanism 234 is connected to the second heat transfer container 2301 and/or the second heat generation mechanism 2302, the first movement mechanism 234 is used for moving the second heat transfer container 2301 and the second heat generation mechanism 2302 between the first relative position and the second relative position, and the first movement mechanism 234 drives the second heat transfer container 2301 and/or the second heat generation mechanism 2302 to move, thereby controlling the contact or separation of the second heat transfer container 2301 and the second heat generation mechanism 2302. Optionally, the following three specific embodiments are included: first, the first movement mechanism 234 is connected to the second heat transfer container 2301 and drives the second heat transfer container 2301; second, the first movement mechanism 234 is connected to the second heat generation mechanism 2302 to drive the second heat generation mechanism 2302; the third and fourth movement mechanisms 234 are connected to the second heat transfer container 2301 and the second heat generation mechanism 2302, and drive the movement of the second heat transfer container 2301 and the second heat generation mechanism 2302, respectively. In this embodiment, by using the manner that the first moving mechanism 234 is connected to and drives the second heat-generating mechanism 2302, since the second heat-transfer container 2301 is kept relatively stationary, the food materials in the second heat-transfer container 2301 can be prevented from deviating from the second cooking area 2305 during the process of moving along with the second heat-transfer container 2301, and the food materials can be accurately taken and placed subsequently. Of course, it is understood that the specific structure and connection manner of the first movement mechanism 234 disclosed below is not limited to the connection with the second heat generation mechanism 2302, and may be replaced with the connection with the second heat transfer container 2301.

Further, in the process of moving the heat transfer container 311 and the heat generating mechanism 312 from the first relative position to the second relative position, the distance between the heat transfer container 311 and the heat generating mechanism 312 increases. The distance between the heat transfer container 311 and the heat generating mechanism 312 is the shortest distance between the plane of the bottom surface of the heat transfer container 311 and the plane of the top surface of the heat generating mechanism 312, and may also be referred to as a vertical distance. The distance between the heat transfer container 311 and the heat generating mechanism 312 increases in the process of separation, that is, the moving direction of the heat generating mechanism 312 forms an acute angle or a right-angle included angle with the plane of the bottom surface of the heat transfer container 311, so that the problem that when the moving direction of the heat generating mechanism 312 is parallel to the plane of the bottom surface of the heat transfer container 311, the heat generating mechanism 312 and the heat transfer container 311 rub against each other, which results in large moving resistance and abrasion of parts is avoided. In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, the movement direction of the heat generating mechanism 312 is perpendicular to the plane of the bottom surface of the heat transfer container 311, and the above-mentioned distance is the vertical distance between the bottom surface of the heat transfer container 311 and the top surface of the heat generating mechanism 312.

In some embodiments, the food cooking module further comprises a bottom case 233, the second heat-transfer container 2301 is mounted on the top surface of the bottom case 233, the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 and the first movement mechanism 234 are both mounted in the bottom case 233, and the bottom case 233 serves to prevent a user from directly touching the second heat-generating mechanism 2302. The first moving mechanism 234 includes a cam 2341, a first power source, and a movable support for supporting the heat transfer container 311 or the heat generating mechanism 312, and the movable support is connected with a resisting member 2343, and the resisting member 2343 abuts against a surface of the cam 2341. Alternatively, the propping member 2343 is a roller, and the first power source may be a motor. The output shaft 2342 of the motor is connected with the wheel center of the cam 2341 to drive the cam 2341 to rotate, the cam 2341 pushes the movable supporting part to be far away from or close to the wheel center of the cam 2341 when rotating, that is, the cam 2341 converts the torque output by the first power source into the lifting motion of the movable supporting part, and as the cam 2341 rotates for one circle, the second heat transfer container 2301 and the second heat generating mechanism 2302 can complete the movement process of moving from the first relative position to the second relative position and then resetting. In this embodiment, the cam 2341 is abutted with the abutting piece 2343 in a rotating manner to control the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 to move up and down, so that contact friction between the cam 2341 and the movable supporting piece is reduced, energy consumption of the first power source is reduced, and the situation that when the cam 2341 is directly contacted with the second heat-generating mechanism 2302, heat generated by the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 is directly transmitted to the cam 2341 and the first power source, so that the first power source is heated to affect operation is avoided.

In some embodiments, to directionally move the second heat generating mechanism 2302 in a certain direction to avoid deviation, the first moving mechanism 234 further includes a guiding member 2346, the guiding member 2346 is movably connected with the movable supporting member, and the guiding member 2346 is used for limiting the movable supporting member from moving in the first direction. Optionally, the movable supporting member includes a movable support 2344 and a supporting member 2345 for supporting the heat transfer container 311 or the heat generating mechanism 312, the movable support 2344 is used for mounting the supporting member 2343, and the supporting member 2345 is mounted on the movable support 2344, in this embodiment, the supporting member 2345 is connected to the heat generating mechanism 312.

As one of the embodiments, the guiding member 2346 may be a guide rail, and one side of the supporting member 2345 may slide along the guide rail. As an equivalent alternative, in this embodiment, optionally, the supporting member 2345 includes a supporting column, and accordingly, the guiding member 2346 is sleeved outside the supporting column; specifically, the guide 2346 may be a sleeve. When the cam 2341 rotates to push the movable supporting element to move up and down integrally, the supporting column is limited by the guiding element 2346 in the moving process, so that the second heating mechanism 2302 moves along the first direction, namely the axial direction of the guiding column, the second heating mechanism 2302 is prevented from shifting in the moving process, the second heating mechanism 2302 can be ensured to be tightly attached to the bottom of the second heat transfer container 2301 after being lifted, and uniform heat transfer is ensured. Further, the quantity of bearing post is more than two, and two bearing posts all fix on movable support 2344, and movable support 344 drives each bearing post synchronous motion under the drive of cam 2341, and each bearing post all moves the lift that drives second mechanism 2302 along first direction under corresponding guide 2346's spacing. Because at least two supporting structures simultaneously support the second heating mechanism 2302, the movement of the second heating mechanism 2302 is more stable and more reliable.

Optionally, the first moving mechanism 234 includes a fixed support 2347 located below the heat generating mechanism 312, and an elastic member 2348 is provided between the fixed support 2347 and the heat transfer container 311 or the heat generating mechanism 312. In this embodiment, the elastic member 2348 is located between the second heat generating mechanism 2302 and the fixing support 2347, one end of the elastic member 2348 is fixed to the end surface of the fixing support 2347, and the other end of the elastic member 2348 is fixed to the lower end surface of the second heat generating mechanism 2302, and optionally, the elastic member 2348 is a spring. Since the fixed support 2347 indirectly supports the heat-generating mechanism 312 through the connection of the elastic member, when the movable support member drives the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 to ascend and descend, especially to rise close to the second heat-transfer container 2301, the elastic member 2348 can play a certain role in buffering, so as to prevent the support member 2345 from driving the second heat-generating mechanism 2302 to directly impact the second heat-transfer container 2301 under the driving of the first power source.

On the basis of the above embodiment, further, the elastic component 2348 is sleeved on the outer side of the supporting column, so that the elastic component can be ensured to stretch and provide elastic force along the first direction all the time, the elastic component cannot be stressed to deviate or deform, and the service life of the elastic component 2348 is prolonged. Specifically, the fixing support 2347 is provided with a mounting hole, the bearing column penetrates through the mounting hole and then is connected with the heating mechanism 312, and the end of the elastic member is connected to the outer side of the mounting hole, so that the elastic member is positioned on the outer side of the bearing column. Optionally, the guide 2346 may be mounted to the fixed support 2347 and the mounting hole may be provided with a sliding bearing therein to reduce resistance to movement of the support post in the mounting hole.

As an alternative embodiment, the supporting member 2343 and the supporting member 2344 are disposed above the cam 2341, that is, an angle between a line connecting the center of the supporting member 2343 and the center of the cam 2341 and a horizontal direction where the center of the cam 2341 is located is greater than 0 and less than 180 °, and the cam 2341 supports and drives the heat transfer container 311 or the heat generating mechanism 312 through the supporting member while the supporting member 2343 is in rolling contact with the cam 2341. In order to reduce the burden on the first power source and the cam 2341, in this embodiment, on the basis of the above embodiment, further, the movable support 2344 and the abutting member 2343 are disposed below the cam 2341, that is, an angle between a line connecting the center of the abutting member 2343 and the wheel center of the cam 2341 and a horizontal direction in which the wheel center of the cam 2341 is located is greater than 180 ° and less than 360 °. The cam 2341 does not need to continuously support the heating mechanism, so that the acting force borne by the cam 2341 and coming from the heating mechanism 312 is reduced, the structure of the cam 2341 is protected, the output shaft 2342 of the first power source is prevented from being deformed under pressure, and the movement fluency of the heating mechanism 312 is improved.

In certain embodiments, the first and

second heating modules

220, 230 are movably disposed between a cooking position and a waiting position, and the spacing between the first and second cooking zones 2271, 2305 increases as the first and

second heating modules

220, 230 move from the cooking position to the waiting position. When the second heat transfer container 2301 is to move along the second direction, the distance between the first cooking area 2271 and the second cooking area 2305 is increased, so that the friction between the food and the first heat transfer container 227 can be reduced, and the food is prevented from being displaced on the second heat transfer container 2301 by the friction of the first heat transfer container 227, thereby affecting the cooking effect. In addition, when the food is to be intermittently heated, the second heat transfer container 2301 can be kept away from the food by increasing the distance between the first cooking zone 2271 and the second cooking zone 2305, so that intermittent heating can be realized without frequently opening and closing the second heat generation mechanism 2302.

Specifically, referring to fig. 12, the relative movement of the first and

The push-pull assembly 3242 adopts a push element 32421 and a pull element 32422 which are independent of each other, the push element 32421 is driven by a driving source 3243, and the pull element 32422 has elasticity and no power source.

It can be understood that when the valve plate 3221 adopts a translational opening and closing manner, the transmission component 3241 only needs to include the connecting rod shaft 32412, the connecting rod shaft 32412 is fixedly connected to the valve plate 3221, and the push-pull component 3242 pushes or pulls the connecting rod shaft 32412 to drive the valve plate 3221 to move forward and backward to open and close.

Meanwhile, referring to fig. 35 to 37, one of the food material throwing modules is used for throwing a fluid food material, specifically, sauce, and the food material throwing module for throwing the fluid food material mainly comprises a fixed frame 410, a flexible storage container 440, a suction and discharge device, and a weight member 450.

Wherein the holder 410 has a receiving cavity in which the flexible storage container 440 is disposed to limit a deformation profile of the flexible storage container 440 when pressed.

The flexible storage container 440 is used for storing sauce; the suction application device communicates with the flexible storage container 440 through a duct to perform the application of the sauce; the weight member 450 is movably disposed above the flexible storage container 440, and the weight member 450 has a pressing portion 451 such that the pressing portion 451 is pressed against the upper portion of the flexible storage container 440.

In some embodiments, the fixing frame 410 is provided with an opening for the pressure applying part 451 to enter, and the pressure applying part 451 vertically downward enters the accommodating cavity through the opening and presses against the upper part of the flexible storage container 440. In other embodiments, the pressure applying portion 451 is located in the receiving cavity, and the top of the receiving cavity is reserved with enough space to ensure that the bottom of the pressure applying portion 451 is spaced from the top of the sauce-filled flexible storage container 440 by a predetermined distance, so as to facilitate loading or replacing the flexible storage container 440.

The flexible storage container 440 is deformable under the application of an external force by the weight member 450 such that the sauce within the flexible storage container 440 may be continually squeezed to the suction application device. In this way, the suction application device is activated to perform the application of the sauce.

During the application of the sauce, the weight member 450 presses the upper portion of the flexible storage container 440 only by its own weight, and continuously provides pressure to the flexible storage container 440, ensuring that substantially no air bubbles are generated inside the flexible storage container 440 during the application of the sauce. The weight 450 can press the flexible storage container 440 flat to complete the application of the sauce, avoiding the waste of the sauce.

It is to be understood that the present embodiment, in which the mount 410 is used to implement the installation of the flexible storage container 440, the weight member 450 and the suction applying device, and the flexible storage container 440 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the mount 410, and the pressed deformation profile of the flexible storage container 440 is limited by the mount 100, is a preferable mode of the present embodiment.

In other embodiments, the food material delivering module may not include the fixing frame 410, that is, the fixing frame 410 is not an essential technical feature of the present technical solution. The weight member 450 is movably placed on top of the flexible storage container 440 and continuously applies pressure to the flexible storage container 440 using its own weight. After the flexible storage container 440 is deformed, the weight member 450 follows downward by a corresponding height. The weight member 450 is placed on the top of the flexible storage container 440 in a balanced manner by its own weight.

In some embodiments, in consideration of the fact that the flexible storage container 440 is easily deformed by pressure, the lateral dimension of the flexible storage container is increased, the pressing portion 451 of the weight member 450 is configured to have a large area, and the entire upper portion of the flexible storage container 440 is pressed by a portion of the pressing portion 451, so that when the flexible storage container 440 is pressed to be flat, the pressing portion 451 can completely cover the flat flexible storage container 440, thereby ensuring that the sauce can be completely dispensed.

In other embodiments, the flexible storage container 440 is a container that shrinks and deforms in one direction, with no or little outward deformation of the sides, and the deformation is mainly concentrated in the up-down direction. At this time, the pressing part 451 is provided to have a small area, the pressing part 451 entirely presses against the upper portion of the flexible storage container 440, and the pressing part 451 is provided to substantially act on the upper middle position of the flexible storage container 440. Since the flexible storage container 440 is restricted to be deformed only in the up-down direction, the flexible storage container 440 can be pressed flat as long as the weight of the weight member 450 is sufficient, thereby ensuring that the sauce can be completely dispensed.

Meanwhile, for the flexible storage container 440 that is deformed by being pressed and easily gets larger in a transverse dimension, the fixing frame 410 can limit a deformation profile of the flexible storage container 440 when being pressed after the flexible storage container 440 is disposed in the receiving cavity. The flexible storage container 440 is prevented from large lateral dimension changes, the area requirement on the pressing part 451 is reduced, and it is easier to ensure that the flexible storage container 440 is completely squeezed to be flat to complete the complete application of the sauce.

In some embodiments, in order to limit the movement of the pressing part 451 toward the flexible storage container 440 in a single direction, the inner sidewall of the receiving chamber is provided as a guide structure, and the outer circumference of the pressing part 451 protruding into the receiving chamber is provided in sliding contact with the inner sidewall of the receiving chamber. The pressing part 451 slides along the sidewall of the receiving chamber by the restriction of the inner sidewall to maintain the continuous pressing of the flexible storage container 440 in a single direction. Preferably, the pressing part 451 moves in a vertical direction (i.e., up-down direction as shown in fig. 35).

It is to be understood that, in some embodiments, a portion of the outer periphery of the pressing portion 451 is disposed in sliding contact with the inner side wall of the accommodating chamber; in other embodiments, the entire periphery of the pressing portion 451 is disposed in sliding contact with the inner sidewall of the accommodating chamber.

In other embodiments, the fixing frame 410 is provided with a guide assembly 460, the counterweight component 450 is slidably connected with the guide assembly 460, the pressing part 451 is located in the accommodating cavity, the guide assembly 460 limits the movement track of the pressing part 451 pointing to the flexible storage container 440 in the accommodating cavity, so that the counterweight component 450 is prevented from deviating when pressing the flexible storage container 440, and the operation stability of the food material throwing module is ensured.

Specifically, the guiding assembly 460 may be a guiding rod vertically fixed at the upper end of the weight component 450, a cover plate is disposed at an opening of the fixing frame, a bearing seat for the guiding rod to pass through is fixedly disposed on the cover plate, and the guiding rod is slidably connected with the bearing seat, so that the weight component 450 is limited to reciprocate in the vertical direction.

The guiding assembly 460 may also be a sliding rail structure, the sliding rail structure includes a sliding part and a sliding rail, the weight part 450 is fixed with the sliding part, and the sliding part slides along the sliding rail to realize guiding.

Preferably, the outer circumference of the pressing part 451 is in sliding contact with the inner side wall of the accommodation chamber so that the pressing part 451 fills up the accommodation chamber in a transverse section. The outer contour of the pressure body 451 is arranged to fit the cross section of the receiving chamber. In one aspect, the flexible storage container 440 is constrained to deform within the receiving cavity such that its area after being collapsed is no greater than the cross-sectional area of the receiving cavity; on the other hand, the outer periphery of the pressing portion 451 is in sliding contact with the inner side wall of the accommodating chamber, and the periphery of the pressing portion 451 substantially conforms to the inner side wall of the accommodating chamber. Thus, the pressing part 451 is ensured to completely cover the squashed flexible storage container 440, the situation that redundant sauce is left around the flexible storage container 440 is avoided, the complete application of the sauce is ensured, and the waste is avoided.

Preferably, the pressing part 451 is formed to be flat on a surface facing the flexible storage container 440, to ensure that the flexible storage container 440 is pressed to be flat, and to ensure uniform stress during the pressing, thereby ensuring stability and uniformity of the sauce application.

In order to facilitate the replacement of the flexible storage container 440, one side of the holder 410 is provided with an operation opening 411 for taking out the flexible storage container 440. When the sauce in the flexible storage container 440 is completely dispensed, the user only needs to lift the weight member 450, then remove the corresponding pipe, and take out the flexible storage container 440 from the operation opening 411. In the process, the counterweight part 450 does not need to be disassembled and assembled, and the disassembling and assembling efficiency is further improved.

Preferably, in order to facilitate taking out the flexible storage container 440, a handle 441 is disposed at the bottom of the flexible storage container 440, a strip-shaped notch 412 is disposed at the bottom of the fixing frame 410, the strip-shaped notch 412 is directed to the operation opening 411, the handle 441 is embedded in the strip-shaped notch 412, and the handle 441 protrudes out of the strip-shaped notch 412. When the user takes out and installs the flexible storage container 440, he or she holds the handle 441 which passes through the strip-shaped notch 412 and protrudes out of the fixing frame 410, and pushes and pulls the handle 441 along the strip-shaped notch 412, thereby increasing the operation comfort.

It should be understood that the bottom of the flexible storage container 440 is generally referred to as the non-deformed portion of the flexible storage container 440, which ensures that the handle 441 is maintained through the strip-shaped cutout 412 and exposed to the bottom of the mounting bracket 410.

Meanwhile, the food material dispensing module further includes a limiting structure 470 for limiting the pressing force applied by the weight member 450 moving toward the flexible storage container 440. The spacing structure has a first state in which the spacing structure locks the weight component 450 in the vertical direction and a second state in which the spacing structure releases the weight component in the vertical direction.

In this embodiment, the position limiting structure 470 is installed on the fixing frame 410, and the position limiting structure 470 is used for locking or releasing the state of the weight part 450. Before the sauce dispensing of the food material dispensing module is carried out or when the flexible storage container 440 is replaced, the counterweight member 450 can be locked by the limiting structure 470, so that the counterweight member 450 keeps a locked state, the pressing part 451 of the counterweight member 450 keeps a preset gap with the flexible storage container 440, and the counterweight member 450 does not press the flexible storage container 440; when the food material throwing module is used for pouring the sauce, the limit of the limiting structure 470 on the weight part 450 is released, the weight part 450 can move freely, and then the weight part 450 continuously presses the flexible storage container 440 to assist the pouring of the sauce.

It should be understood that the spacing structure 470 has two states for locking or unlocking the weight member 450. In some embodiments, the limiting structure 470 has a moving part that reciprocates toward the bottom of the pressing part 451, and when the moving part moves to the bottom of the pressing part 451, the weight member 450 is locked; when the moving portion moves to be separated from the pressing portion 451, the weight member 450 is unlocked and can move freely.

In other embodiments, the retention structure 470 can be a snap-fit structure, or the like. It should be noted that the limiting structure 470 can be a structure commonly used in the art, and is not limited thereto.

A plurality of assemblies 532 of snatching realize pulling of packing sheet in turn in proper order, have ensured invariable snatching the beat, are favorable to the realization of automatic packing.

It should be understood that the motion trajectories of two or more gripping assemblies 532 may be the same or different, and the principle of the arrangement is that the wrapping sheet must pass through the feeding station and the blanking station and be dragged.

Also, the traction mechanism 530 further includes a power assembly 531 for driving the grabbing assembly 532 to move periodically. The power assemblies 531 of two or more gripping assemblies 532 may be arranged individually or jointly, so that the gripping assemblies 532 can move the packaging sheet from the loading station to the unloading station. The present application is not limited to any particular motion profile of the grasping element 532 and to the power element 531 for powering the grasping element 532.
