Further, radiation or conduction type heating devices can be arranged on the pot cover 22, above and/or beside the cooking bin 11, so that three-dimensional heating of cooking materials is realized, and the cooking efficiency and quality are further improved.

As shown in fig. 5, the cooking pot 20 includes a pot body 21 and a pot cover 22 removably covering the pot body 21. The lid 22 is provided with a feed opening 221 at least partially exposed to the outside of the cooking chamber 11, and during cooking, materials can be fed into the pot 21 through the feed opening 221 in batches to improve cooking quality. The feeding port 221 may be inclined with respect to the horizontal plane to facilitate the feeding operation. The feed inlet 221 may be formed in a circular shape, an oval shape, or a square shape, which is not limited in the present invention.

Wherein, after the cooking pot 20 is mounted to a predetermined position within the cooking chamber 11, the power transmitting portion 62 and the power receiving portion 33 are coupled to each other via a through hole 114 (see fig. 4) formed at the rear end of the cooking chamber 11 for transmitting the rotational driving force to the stirring mechanism 30. When the cooking pot 20 is taken out of the cooking chamber 11, the power receiving portion 33 and the power transmitting portion 62 are separated from each other, so that the cooking pot 20 can be removed.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the cooking pot 20 is removably installed in the cooking chamber 11, and a detachable coupling is formed between the power receiving portion 33 of the stirring mechanism 30 and the power transmitting portion 62 of the driving mechanism 60. Thus, after each cooking, the stirring mechanism 30 can be taken out from the cooking bin 11 together with the cooking pot 20, so that the next cooking operation can be quickly performed in a pot-changing mode, and the cooking frequency of the peak time of the meal can be improved while the cooking quality is ensured.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 8, the driving mechanism 60 includes a driving motor 61 disposed at the rear of the cooking chamber 11, and the motor 61 may be a unidirectional or bidirectional rotary motor.

With continued reference to fig. 7, the rear sidewall 212 of the pan body 21 is provided with a supporting shaft 34, and the supporting shaft 34 is connected to the stirring portion 321 and keeps rotating synchronously. Specifically, the support shaft 34 passes through the connecting arm 36 and the rear side wall 212 connected to the end of the stirring portion 321, passes through the rear side wall 212, and is in threaded connection with the nut 35 provided on the outer side of the rear side wall 212; the support shaft 34 has a stopper at one end thereof opposite to the nut 35, and the stopper abuts against the connecting arm 36 to prevent the connecting arm 36 from being separated from the support shaft 34.

Further, a handle 23 is coupled to the rear sidewall 212 of the pot 21 to facilitate the mounting and removing operations of the cooking pot 20. Wherein, the connection part of the handle 23 and the pot body 21 is provided with a movable clutch piece 25, and when the movable clutch piece 25 is at a braking position, the movable clutch piece applies a rotation resistance to the supporting rotating shaft 34 so as to prevent the stirring part 321 from rotating.

Specifically, the rear side wall 212 of the pan body 21 is provided with a connecting portion 24, the handle 23 is connected with the connecting portion 24, and the movable clutch member 25 is mounted on the connecting portion 24. In an alternative embodiment, the movable clutch member 25 is slidably mounted on the connecting portion 23 back and forth, and when the movable clutch member 25 is pushed forward to the braking position, the movable clutch member 25 presses the supporting shaft 34, thereby restricting the rotation of the stirring mechanism 30; after the movable clutch member 25 is released, the movable clutch member 25 is at a clutch position separated from or in contact with the support shaft 34 without substantially applying a pressing force to the support shaft 34, so that the stirring portion 321 can freely rotate. When the cooked dishes are poured out of the pot body 21, an operator can push the movable clutch piece 25 to the braking position while holding the handle 23, and the phenomenon that the dishes are discharged due to the autorotation of the stirring part 321 under the action of gravity can be prevented.

The stirring part 321 is used for stirring and stir-frying the materials in the pot body 21. In one embodiment of the present invention, the stirring portion 321 has a sheet-like structure that contacts or is close to the arc-shaped peripheral wall 213 during rotation to stir the material in the pan body 21 and prevent the material from sticking to the pan body 21.

The stirring portion 321 may be parallel to or angled from its axis of rotation. In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 9, the stirring portion 321 has an angle α with the rotation axis L thereof, so that the material can be stirred and stir-fried in the front-rear direction. Preferably, the included angle alpha is in the range of 5-45 degrees, so as to realize better material stirring effect. In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 10, stirring teeth 322 may be provided on the stirring portion 321.

In other embodiments of the present invention, the stirring mechanism 30 may include a plurality of stirring parts, and as shown in fig. 11, the stirring mechanism 30 includes a first stirring part 323 and a second stirring part 324, and the first stirring part 323 and the second stirring part 324 are disposed at opposite sides of the driving rotation shaft 31. The first stirring part 323 may have a sheet-like structure, and the second stirring part 324 may have a comb-like structure. Other structures, shapes and numbers of stirring portions may be used for the stirring mechanism 30, and the invention is not limited thereto.

Example 2

After the pan 120 is mounted to a predetermined position within the cooking chamber 11, the power transmission part 142 and the power receiving part 1311 are coupled to each other to transmit a rotational driving force. As the cooker 120 is taken out of the cooking chamber 11, the power transmission part 142 and the power receiving part 1311 are separated from each other.

In an alternative embodiment, as shown in fig. 14, the power transmission part 142 has a driving slot 1421, and the power receiving part 1311 is inserted into the driving slot 1421 in a horizontal direction to receive a rotational driving force. Wherein the drive mechanism 140 may further comprise a position sensor for detecting the orientation of the drive socket 1421. When the pan 120 needs to be taken out (for example, when cooking is completed or materials need to be added), the transmission slot 1421 can be controlled to face to the right front of the cooking bin 11 through detection of the position sensor, so that smooth separation of the power transmission part 142 and the power receiving part 1311 is facilitated, and meanwhile, accurate connection of the power transmission part 142 and the power receiving part 1311 when the pan 20 is subsequently loaded can be ensured.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the cooking apparatus is further provided with a control device, for example, a control device 70 having a man-machine operation interface may be provided on the front cover 14 as shown in fig. 1, so as to control the operation of the cooking apparatus.
