The applicant of the present application has found that existing noodle cooking machines on the market are broadly classified into two types, one of which is used in public places such as restaurants, convenience stores, etc., to provide cooked foods to customers; a household kitchen appliance for use in the home as a daily household kitchen appliance. However, the existing noodle cooking machine in the market has large limitations generally, for example, the noodle cooking machine used in public places has large volume and cannot meet the application prospect of families. The existing noodle cooking machine which can be used as household kitchen equipment has relatively single function, if no stirring device is arranged, the manual stirring is needed for preventing the noodle from sticking to the pot; if the noodle boiling function is only provided and the seasoning function is not provided, the noodle boiling process needs to be frequently participated by people, and the requirements of users on automatic household noodle boiling equipment cannot be met.

The application provides a boil face machine, but at least part improves or solves above-mentioned problem, including accomplish automatically below, add water, boil face, stirring and add operations such as condiment, compare in loaded down with trivial details boiling face process, the user only need the blowing pan feeding box and start the machine, just wait slightly and just can eat the delicious noodless of a bowl system of cooking.

A dough cooker according to exemplary embodiments of the present application may include a heating assembly, a feeding assembly, and a stirring assembly. The heating component comprises a saucepan, and the feeding component is positioned above the saucepan and is used for feeding materials into the saucepan; the stirring assembly comprises a rotating shaft and a stirring part, wherein the rotating shaft is vertical to a plane (namely a plane where an x axis and a z axis are both positioned and comprises a horizontal plane) where the bottom of the saucepan is positioned, and the stirring part is positioned in the saucepan and is parallel to the rotating shaft and rotates around the rotating shaft when in a working state, and is static outside the saucepan and vertical to the rotating shaft when in a non-working state.

It will be appreciated that the stirring portion may be in different positions and at different angles to the horizontal in the active and inactive states. Illustratively, the stirring portion may be folded, which is in a released state perpendicular to the horizontal plane when positioned inside the boiler, so as to be in contact with and stir the material inside the boiler; when it is positioned outside the boiler, is in a folded state parallel to the horizontal plane. The folding design of the stirring part is beneficial to reducing the vertical distance from the stirring component to the saucepan so as to reduce the overall height of the noodle cooker and facilitate the realization of miniaturization of the noodle cooker. Illustratively, the maximum height of the noodle cooker as a whole is no more than 0.4m.

It can be further understood that the stirring part can be driven to move from outside the saucepan to inside the saucepan to perform stirring operation when the materials in the saucepan need to be stirred only by meeting the condition that the folded stirring part is higher than the opening edge of the saucepan. The design can not obstruct the lower surface and the blanking operation, and ensures that the noodle boiling machine has the stirring function, and simultaneously, the space in the height direction of the noodle boiling machine is greatly saved.

In an exemplary embodiment, the noodle cooker further comprises a pump assembly that may be used to inject liquid and/or pump out liquid during noodle cooking. The liquid pumping component can automatically add liquid and extract liquid in the noodle boiling process of the noodle boiling machine, so that the manual participation is greatly reduced, and the noodle boiling machine has higher automation. Illustratively, after the solid material is put into the boiler, the liquid can be pumped by the liquid pumping component and injected into the boiler, and after the solid material is boiled for a certain time, the liquid in the boiler can be pumped by the liquid pumping component when the liquid in the boiler is needed to be changed. Illustratively, the solid material includes beans, rice, flour and other food materials, such as noodles, dough sheets, rice flour, vermicelli and the like, and the liquid includes water or soup stock and the like.
