The rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment improves the weight reduction and corrosion resistance of the cooking vessel by making the cooking vessel tapered with a light non-magnetic material that is thermally sprayed with a magnetic material on an external surface, while safely heating and cooking by induction. In particular, it is possible to easily remove the moisture inside after washing, thereby maximizing the product's marketability and market competitiveness.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as follows.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the rotary cooking apparatus of the present invention includes a body portion 100; a rotating module 200 including a cooking vessel 210 and a rotating motor 220 for rotating the cooking vessel 210 by driving according to power supply; a pivot shaft 300 connected to the rotation module 200 and rotatably supported by the body portion 100; a heating module 400 provided in the body portion 100 to heat the cooking vessel 210 in a non-contact manner; It may include a pivot motor 500 that rotates the pivot shaft 300 by driving according to the power supply to revolve the rotation module 200 .

That is, the rotary cooking apparatus according to the present invention largely includes a body portion 100 , a rotation module 200 , a pivot shaft 300 , a heating module 400 , and a pivot motor 500 .

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the body part 100 is composed of a plurality of frames and panels to form a basic skeleton in the rotary cooking apparatus of an embodiment.

Such a body portion 100 is usually configured to be located at a predetermined height from the installation surface, so that the user can easily operate it, and it would be good to be able to grasp the cooking state at a glance.

The rotation module 200 includes a cooking vessel 210 and a rotation motor 220 .

First, the cooking vessel 210 is configured to cook food while rotating, and is manufactured in a substantially cylindrical bowl shape having an inlet on one side.

At this time, at least one substantially L-shaped wing 211 is formed inside the cooking vessel 210 by connecting the bottom surface and the inner wall surface. It serves to turn over or stir evenly, preventing the ingredients from sticking and burning or only partially overcooked.

Although the drawings illustrate that two blades 211 are formed with a phase angle difference of 180 degrees, it is also possible to provide one or three or more blades 211 with a uniform phase angle difference as needed.

In addition, a cylindrical boss 212 is protruded from the outer bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210, and a rotational force is transmitted through the boss 212, and the cooking vessel ( 210) is rotatable.

In addition, the rotary motor 220 is configured to rotate the above-described cooking vessel 210 according to the driving, and the boss 212 of the cooking vessel 210 receives rotational force from the driving shaft 222 of the rotating motor 220 . will be delivered

At this time, looking at the coupling relationship between the boss 212 and the driving shaft 222 , as shown in FIG. 6 , the boss 212 is formed in a hollow state, and the driving shaft 222 is the inner circumferential surface of the boss 212 . In the inserted state, it is possible to maintain the mutually coupled state with the fastening pins 230 penetrating across them.

The rotary motor 220 rotates the driving shaft 222 according to the power supply, thereby rotating the cooking vessel 210 .

In this case, the rotary motor 220 can be driven at a multi-step speed according to the input power control, and can be driven at least in two steps: a high speed and a low speed.

For example, when cooking food, the rotary motor 220 may rotate at a low speed, and when dehydrating after washing dishes, the rotary motor 220 may rotate at a high speed. Optionally, even when cooking food, the rotary motor 220 may rotate at various speeds depending on the type of food, and even while cooking one dish, the rotation speed may be varied according to time to improve the degree of cooking perfection.

According to another embodiment, by providing a transmission between the boss 212 of the cooking vessel 210 and the drive shaft of the rotation motor 220, the rotation speed of the rotation motor 220 according to the control of the transmission It may be possible to shift and transmit to the cooking vessel 210 , or directly connect the rotational speed of the rotary motor 220 without shifting to transmit it to the cooking vessel 210 .

The above-described rotary motor 220 is fixedly installed in a separate housing 221 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 , and only the above-described cooking vessel 210 can be rotated from the rotary motor 220 .

Next, the pivot shaft 300 is connected to the above-described rotation module 200 , and rotates the rotation module 200 on the body part 100 , and more specifically, an axial element supporting revolving (pivoting). to be.

According to one embodiment, the above-described cooking vessel 210 is rotated by the rotation motor 220 , while the rotation module 200 is capable of revolving around the pivot shaft 300 .

That is, if the above-described rotary motor 220 rotates the cooking vessel 210 , the pivot motor 500 serves to orbit the rotation module 200 including the cooking vessel 210 .

Accordingly, the pivot motor 500 can control the direction in which the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 is directed.

Accordingly, when the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 faces upward as in the first position (C) or the second position (D) in FIG. 3 , ingredients may be put in or cooked through the inlet, and FIG. 3 In the case where the cooking container 210 is inclined downward as in the third position (E), the cooked food may be transferred to the empty container (1) and cooked as in the fourth position (F) in FIG. 3 . If the container 210 is vertically directed downward, washing can be performed. In the first position (C), the cooking vessel 210 is disposed so that the inlet faces vertically upward, and may be used when cooking soup dishes such as boiling soup rather than adding ingredients. The second position (D) may be used when food is put in and cooking in a state in which the inlet is inclined in a range of 90 degrees from the vertical upward to the front. The third position (E) may be used when discharging cooked food in a state in which the inlet is inclined in a range of 90 to 180 degrees from vertical upwards forward. In the fourth position (F), the inlet is vertically downward, and may be used when washing the cooking vessel 210 .

To this end, the pivot motor 500 may be provided as a step motor capable of controlling the rotation angle of the rotation module 200 according to an electrical signal.

At this time, a worm reducer 510 is additionally provided between the pivot motor 500 and the pivot shaft 300 to convert the rotational force transmission direction of the pivot motor 500 to a right angle, and at the same time, the pivot motor 500 ) can be transmitted to the pivot shaft 300 by decelerating the rotation speed, and through this, a large torque can be generated even though the pivot speed is slightly reduced.

According to the basic configuration of the rotary cooking apparatus according to this embodiment, the pivot motor 500 rotates the pivot shaft 300 during cooking so that the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 faces upward in the first position and / or pivoting to the second position, and upon completion of cooking, the pivot motor 500 rotates the pivot shaft 300 to pivot the cooking vessel 210 to the third position so that the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 faces downward, thereby causing the cooked food to lose its own weight. It becomes possible to transfer to the distribution container (1) by the.

And, during cooking, the cooking vessel 210 rotates by driving the rotary motor 220, and at the same time, by heating the cooking vessel 210 with the heating module 400, the ingredients in the cooking vessel 210 are transferred to the wings ( 211), it can be cooked while evenly agitated.

Hereinafter, a configuration for adding an additional function to the rotary cooking apparatus having the basic configuration described above will be described.

4 is a front view of a main portion showing a rotation radius according to a pivot shaft in the rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment. First, a connection portion of the pivot shaft 300 to the above-described rotation module 200 will be described.

Since the above-described rotation module 200 includes a relatively light cooking vessel 210 and a relatively heavy rotation motor 220 , the center of gravity WC of the rotation module 200 is the rotation module 200 . ) may be located eccentrically from the cooking vessel 210 toward the rotation motor 220 rather than being located at half of the total length.

For this reason, when the rotation center RC is connected so that the pivot shaft 300 passes through either end of both ends of the rotation module 200, the pivot motor 500 for rotating the pivot shaft 300 should be a large-capacity motor that is relatively bulky and expensive.

Therefore, in order to prevent an excessive load from acting on the pivot motor 500 , the rotation center RC of the pivot shaft 300 is the center of gravity of the rotation module 200 as shown in FIG. 4A . By connecting across the WC, it becomes possible to adopt the relatively small and small capacity rotary motor 220 .

Alternatively, the pivot shaft 300 includes an eccentric shaft 310 eccentric from the rotation center RC as shown in FIG. 4(b), and the eccentric shaft 310 is the rotation module 200 ) is connected to cross the center of gravity (WC), and it will be preferable to reduce the rotation radius (r) of the rotation module 200 .

That is, the amount of eccentricity of the eccentric shaft 310 will be the distance from the rotation center RC of the pivot shaft 300 to the center of gravity WC of the rotation module 200 .

According to this, since the eccentric shaft 310 of the pivot shaft 300 is connected to cross the center of gravity WC of the rotation module 200, the rotation radius r of the rotation module 200 is shown in FIG. By reducing the turning radius R shown in (a) of (a), it is also possible to achieve miniaturization of the device.

Next, in the rotary cooking apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to add a washing function to the cooking vessel 210 . 5 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which the cooking vessel 210 is washed according to an exemplary embodiment.

1 and 2, the body part 100 has a washing tub 110 formed on the lower side of the rotation module 200, and water is sprayed on the inner bottom surface of the washing tub 110 as shown in FIG. A first spray nozzle 111 for doing this may be provided.

The first spray nozzle 111 may spray washing water including washing water, and the washing water may optionally contain detergent. Optionally, it will be possible to control by providing a separate branch pipe to spray washing water including detergent for a preset time, and then spraying washing water for washing for a preset time. The first spray nozzle 111 may be connected to a washing water supply pump.

However, the control module 600 , which will be described later, may automatically control the washing water containing the detergent or the washing water for washing to be selectively sprayed without depending on the time. According to an embodiment, the first spray nozzle 111 may be disposed to form a first angle a1 with respect to the horizontal direction, and accordingly, a stream of washing water sprayed from the vicinity of the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 is discharged. The spray can be adjusted so that it climbs up along the wall surface 213 toward the bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210 and spreads throughout the inner space 214 of the cooking vessel 210 . The first spray nozzle 111 may spray the washing water in the form of locally strong spraying rather than spraying it spread out at a wide angle. When the washing water is sprayed at a wide angle, the washing power may be decreased because the striking force against the inner wall of the cooking vessel 210 is decreased. Accordingly, as described above, the entire inner wall surface of the cooking vessel 210 can be effectively washed by the water pressure of the strong washing water stream. Optionally, the first spray nozzle 111 may be connected to a hot water pipe, and thus water of 60° C. or higher may be used as washing water. In this way, when using hot water and strong water pressure washing water, even oil can be removed.

In this case, when the cooking vessel 210 is washed, the cooking vessel 210 is rotated so that the inside of the cooking vessel 210 can be uniformly cleaned with only one first spray nozzle 111 .

Of course, it is also possible to provide two or more first spray nozzles 111 to spray washing water including detergent in some, and to spray washing water for rinsing in others.

Optionally, a plurality of the first spray nozzles 111 may be provided. At least one of these may be aimed at the lower portion of the cooking vessel 210 , that is, near the inlet, and the other at least one may be aimed at the upper portion of the cooking vessel 210 , that is, near the inner bottom. At this time, the washing water directed to the lower and upper parts may be sprayed simultaneously, but is not limited thereto, and may be sequentially sprayed. When the upper and lower wash water are sprayed at the same time, the water pressure may drop. In this case, the lower wash water may be sprayed first, and then the upper wash water may be sprayed. This upper washing water spray nozzle may be used as an air spray nozzle as will be described later. That is, by selectively connecting the washing water and air through the check valve, the washing water may be sprayed and then the air may be sprayed.

Although not shown in the drawings, according to another embodiment, a separate actuator is coupled to the first spray nozzle 111 to change the spray angle of the washing water.

In addition, the washing tub 110 is connected to a drain pipe 113 connected to a sewer so that the water used for washing the cooking vessel 210 can be discharged to the outside, and before the bottom or wall of the washing tub 110 , The first spray nozzle 111 described above may be provided.

In addition, in order to effectively remove the water remaining in the cooking vessel 210 after washing the cooking vessel 210 , in one embodiment, the cooking vessel 210 is moved from the inlet toward the rotation motor 220 . It is tapered so as to gradually decrease in diameter, so that the washing water sprayed from the nozzle 111 can be discharged out of the inlet by centrifugal force by rotating the cooking vessel 210 .

That is, with respect to the inner diameter of the cooking vessel 210, the upper portion corresponding to the inlet and the lower portion to which the rotary motor 220 is connected are not manufactured in the same way, but the lower portion to which the rotary motor 220 is connected from the upper portion corresponding to the inlet. It is formed to be tapered so that the inner diameter is gradually reduced toward the

According to this, when the cooking vessel 210 is rotated at a high speed after washing the cooking vessel 210 , the water remaining inside the cooking vessel 210 is removed from the cooking vessel 210 by centrifugal force. can be discharged.

At this time, the height of the upper opening of the washing tub 110 is slightly higher than the inlet height of the cooking vessel 210 when the above-described cooking vessel 210 is positioned upside down, so that it is out of the cooking vessel 210 by centrifugal force. All of the discharged water may be collected into the washing container 110 .

To this end, the upper opening diameter of the washing tub 110 is designed to be slightly larger than the inlet diameter of the above-described cooking vessel 210, so that when the cooking vessel 210 is pivoted, interference with the opening of the washing tub 110 occurs. make sure not to hit

Through this, water that may be scattered by centrifugal force during dehydration of the cooking vessel 210 can be effectively collected and discharged.

According to another embodiment, a second spray nozzle 112 may be installed in the washing container 110 .

An air pump may be connected to the second spray nozzle 112 , and thus high-pressure air may be sprayed into the inner space 214 of the cooking vessel 210 through the second spray nozzle 112 .

The second spray nozzle 112 may be disposed to form a second angle a2 with respect to the horizontal direction, so that air flows from the vicinity of the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 along the inner wall surface 213 to the cooking vessel 210 . ), it is possible to control the injection so that it rides up toward the bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210 and spreads throughout the inner space 214 of the cooking vessel 210 . The second spray nozzle 112 may spray in the form of locally strong spraying rather than spraying the air spread out at a wide angle. Accordingly, the water on the entire inner wall surface of the cooking vessel 210 may be physically shaken off and dried by strong air pressure.

Optionally, the second angle a2 may be different from the first angle a1 described above. Accordingly, the fluid sprayed by the second spray nozzle 112 may hit an area different from the fluid sprayed by the first spray nozzle 111 .

According to an embodiment, the second angle a2 may be greater than the first angle a1. Accordingly, the second spray nozzle 112 may be aimed closer to the upper portion of the cooking vessel 210 , that is, the inner bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210 . As the second spray nozzle 112 is installed in this way, air is spread from the top of the cooking vessel 210 and water attached to the inner surface of the cooking vessel 210 can be removed by pushing it downward.

Optionally, the second spray nozzle 112 may be further connected to the washing water supply pump through a check valve. In this case, the check valve may be operated according to a user's selection and/or according to a control algorithm of the control module 600 , and the second spray nozzle 112 may selectively spray washing water and/or air. For example, when the second angle a2 is different from the first angle a1, in particular, when the second angle a2 is greater than the first angle a1, the washing water is sprayed by the first spray nozzle 111. Thereafter, the first spray nozzle 111 is locked, and washing water is sequentially sprayed by the second spray nozzle 112 so that the inside of the cooking vessel 210 is uniformly washed. After that, by closing the second injection nozzle 112 and operating the check valve, the second injection nozzle 112 is connected to the air pump. Then, water may be removed by spraying air through the second spray nozzle 112 .

In one embodiment, the body portion 100 is provided with a control module 600; An imaging member 611 for capturing an image of the inside of the cooking vessel 210, a temperature detecting unit 612 for the temperature of the cooking vessel 210, and a rotation amount and/or rotation speed of the cooking vessel 210 A rotation detection unit 613 for detecting may be further provided.

First, the control module 600 may be provided in the form of a predetermined box on one side of the body part 100 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and in this case, to support the bearing 101 on the right side of the drawing. The bearing 101 may be built in the control module 600 without requiring a separate support arm 102 for this purpose.

The imaging member 611 may include a camera capable of capturing an image of the cooking state inside the cooking vessel 210 and transmitting the image as an electrical signal. The temperature detection unit 612 may include a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the cooking vessel 210 in a non-contact state spaced apart by a predetermined distance and transmits the detected temperature as an electrical signal. The temperature detection unit 612 may include an infrared temperature sensor. The rotation detection unit 613 may include a sensor that detects the amount of rotation of the cooking vessel 210 , that is, the total rotation speed and rotation speed during cooking, that is, rotations per minute and transmits an electrical signal.

First, the imaging member 611 may be installed on the upper surface of the heating module 400 as shown in FIG.

The imaging member 611 may be installed in the hood 130 to be described later in addition to the heating module 400 . In addition, it may be installed on the outside of the rotary cooking device to capture the inside of the cooking vessel 210 . The imaging member 611 may be installed at a position where photography is not disturbed by smoke emitted from the inside of the cooking vessel 210 .

In addition, the temperature detection unit 612 and the rotation detection unit 613 may be disposed in a space between the bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210 and the rotation motor 220 as shown in FIG. 6 .

At this time, the temperature detection unit 612 is located below the cooking vessel 210 so as to detect the temperature in a non-contact manner using infrared rays and may be disposed toward the bottom surface of the cooking vessel 210. .

In addition, the rotation detection unit 613 is disposed adjacent to the above-described temperature detection unit 612 , the head at both ends of the fastening pins 230 inserted in a direction perpendicular to the boss 212 of the cooking vessel 210 . By providing 231 and attaching a paramagnetic material to the head 231 , the rotation detection unit 613 can detect the rotation amount and rotation speed of the cooking vessel 210 .

At this time, it is preferable that two heads 231 extending laterally from the boss 212 of the cooking vessel 210 are provided with a phase angle difference of 180 degrees to be positioned at both ends of the fastening pins 230 .

However, if necessary, it is possible to add an additional paramagnetic material by separately forming a branch on the boss 212 , so there will be no limitation on the number.

According to another exemplary embodiment, the temperature detecting unit 612 may detect the temperature of the outer wall 215 of the cooking vessel 210 as shown in FIG. 7 . The temperature detecting unit 612 can detect the temperature in a non-contact manner using infrared rays. Unlike the above-described implementation, the temperature detection unit 612 may be installed to target the outer wall 215 of the cooking vessel 210 . At this time, the cooking vessel 210 may be in a rotating state at the second position (D) of FIG. 3 . As the cooking vessel 210 rotates in a tilted state, food inside the cooking vessel 210 . will be cooked in a specific area of the cooking vessel 210 . As can be seen in FIG. 7 , the temperature detection unit 612 may be disposed to target the cooking area 215a of the outer wall 215 corresponding to the cooking area within the cooking vessel 210 , and accordingly, the actual cooking is performed. It is possible to detect how much the area in which the temperature is applied is being heated, so that the temperature accuracy can be improved. According to one embodiment, the cooking area 215a corresponds to an outer wall area of the area in which the food F inside the inside 214 is being cooked while the cooking container 210 is inclined to the second position D. , may be less than or equal to about 80% of the total length of the cooking vessel 210 . The temperature detection unit 612 targeting the cooking region 215a may be installed outside the heating module 400 , but is not limited thereto, and may be installed in various places such as the control module 600 .

According to another embodiment, the rotation detection unit 613, as shown in Figure 8, to count the indicator 6132 of the ring member 6131 installed on the boss 212 of the lower portion of the cooking vessel 210 can be provided. The ring member 6131 may be installed outside the boss 212 , and a plurality of indicators 6132 may be installed at regular intervals along the circumference of the boss 212 . The indicator 6132 may be a hole installed in the ring member 6131 , but is not limited thereto, and may be a member protruding from the ring member 6131 . In the rotation detection unit 613 according to an embodiment, a proximity sensor may be used, and by counting the indicators 6132 arranged at regular intervals, the control module 600 determines the number of rotations and/or rotation of the cooking vessel 210 . speed can be detected.

In one embodiment, the cooking vessel 210 is made of a lightweight non-magnetic material has corrosion resistance, the magnetic material is thermally sprayed on the outer surface; The heating module 400 may include an induction device and be inclined to correspond to the taper angle of the cooking vessel 210 , and may be provided to be rotatable about the pivot shaft 300 .

That is, in one embodiment, the cooking vessel 210 may be made of an aluminum alloy that is light, has excellent corrosion resistance, and has high thermal conductivity and strength.

However, when aluminum alloy is selected as the material of the cooking vessel 210 , there is a limitation in adopting the induction device as the heating module 400 in the present invention.

The induction device uses the principle of confining a magnetic field in the magnetic cooking vessel 210 and heating the ingredients therein by creating an induced flow, and the cooking vessel 210 made of an aluminum alloy is difficult to be heated by the induction device.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, the cooking vessel 210 is basically made of a non-magnetic material to have corrosion resistance as well as high thermal conductivity and strength, and magnetic material such as iron is applied to the outer surface of the cooking vessel 210 . By thermal spray coating on the surface, the induction device of the heating module 400 enables heating of the cooking vessel 210 .

Referring to FIG. 16 , the rotary cooking apparatus may further include a second supply module 750 . The second supply module 750 may additionally provide ingredients to the cooking container 220 before or during cooking.

The second supply module 750 is provided with at least one, and may be installed on one side of the body part 100 . The second supply module 750 may include a storage tank 751 , a supply unit 752 , and a first supply pipe 753 . 16 shows an embodiment in which the second supply module 750 is installed at the rear of the body part 100 , the location of the second supply module 750 is not limited thereto, and the side and front surfaces of the body part 100 . It can be installed in various ways. However, hereinafter, for convenience of description, an embodiment in which the second supply module 750 is disposed at the rear of the body portion 100 will be mainly described.

The storage tank 751 may store various materials injected into the cooking vessel 220 . The stored ingredients may be set in various ways according to a recipe used for cooking. However, hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the material stored in the storage tank 751 will be mainly described with reference to an embodiment in which the material is an oil-based material such as edible oil.

The supply unit 752 may move the material stored in the storage tank 751 to the first supply pipe 753 . For example, the supply unit 752 may be provided as a fluid pump, an electric motor, or the like to move the stored oil. Although the drawing shows that the supply part 752 is disposed inside the storage tank 751 , the present invention is not limited thereto, and the supply part 752 may be disposed outside or in the first supply pipe 753 .

The first supply pipe 753 has one end connected to the storage tank 751 and the other end disposed adjacent to the cooking vessel 220 . When the oil is discharged from the other end of the first supply pipe 753 , the oil enters the cooking vessel 220 .

In one embodiment, the other end, that is, the discharge end of the first supply pipe 753 may be disposed at the first position (D). Since the oil supplied to the cooking vessel 220 is supplied in the vertical direction along the basic axis AX1, it can be safely and cleanly injected without leaking to the outside. If, in order to coat the injected oil on the entire surface of the cooking vessel 220 , the cooking vessel 220 may be rotated by the rotary motor 220 .

The second supply module 750 may automatically supply the material by the control module 600 .

The second supply module 750 may cook food in various recipes by supplying ingredients to the cooking container 220 before or during cooking. In particular, the second supply module 750 may increase the flavor of food by supplying an oil-based material.

The rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment may further include a lift module 800 . The lift module 800 may raise or lower the distribution container 1 which is an empty container. The lift module 800 is supported by the body part 100 and may be provided with various types of mechanisms capable of moving the position of the distribution container 1 .

In one embodiment, the lift module 800 may include a first driver 810 , a lift shaft 820 , and a support plate 830 , and the support plate 830 is raised or lowered according to the elongation of the lift shaft 820 . can be lowered

The first driver 810 generates a driving force to adjust the length of the lift shaft 820 . The first driver 810 is connected to the lift shaft 820 , and when the first driver 810 is driven, the length of the lift shaft 820 may be changed.

The lift shaft 820 may have a plurality of pipes disposed in a hollow inside. In the lift shaft, a plurality of shafts may be arranged in a telescopic form. When the first driver 810 is driven, the shaft inside the hollow may move to increase or decrease the length.

In one embodiment, the first driver 810 may be an electric motor. At this time, the pion gear is installed on the first driver 810 , and the rack gear is installed on one side of the lift shaft 820 , so that the length of the lift shaft 820 can be adjusted.

When the first driver 810 rotates in one direction with the control signal generated by the control module 600 , the length of the lift shaft 820 may increase in the L direction. Also, when the first driver 810 rotates in the opposite direction, the length of the lift shaft may be reduced in the L direction.

In another embodiment, a plurality of pulleys are disposed inside the lift shaft 820 , and a wire is disposed to wind the pulleys. When the first driver 810 rotates, the entire length of the lift shaft may be lengthened or shortened while the wire moves.

In another embodiment, the lift module 800 may include a hydraulic or gas cylinder unit. In this case, the lift shaft 820 may be defined as a cylinder or a spindle. In response to a signal applied from the control module 600 , the lift module 800 is driven and the length of the lift shaft 820 may be changed while the internal fluid moves.

The support plate 830 may be mounted on an end of the lift shaft 820 . The support plate 830 may have an empty distribution container 1 disposed therein, and the distribution container 1 may be raised or lowered according to the height adjustment of the support plate 830 . The support plate 830 may be disposed on the pedestal 140 to stably support the distribution container 1 .

Although the drawing shows that the support plate 830 has a flat shape, it is not limited thereto, and the edge protrudes to align the position of the distribution container 1 and to prevent the distribution container 1 from being separated from the support plate 830. can

In one embodiment, the support plate 830 may be hinged to the lift shaft 820 . When the lift shaft 820 rotates in the R direction, the support plate 830 may rotate by a predetermined angle to maintain the flatness of the support plate 830 .

In an embodiment, the lift module 800 may further include a second driver (not shown). The second driver may rotate the lift shaft 820 by a predetermined angle to move the support plate 830 forward or backward. For example, the second driver may rotate the lift shaft 820 clockwise in order to move the distribution container 1 closer to the basic axis AX1. In addition, in order to move the distribution container 1 forward, the second driver may rotate the lift shaft 820 counterclockwise. The lift module 800 may control the driving of the first driver 810 and the second driver to move the distribution container 1 in the front-rear direction and/or the height direction.

The lift module 800 raises and lowers the distribution container 1 , so that cooked food can be transferred to the distribution container 1 in a clean and stable manner. According to the driving of the lift module 800 , the distribution container 1 is disposed adjacent to the cooking container 220 . Since the distance between the cooking container 220 and the distribution container 1 is minimized, it is possible to prevent the cooked food from spilling to the outside.

In one embodiment, the lift module 800 may raise or lower the distribution container 1 in an inclined direction. Since the lift module 800 ascends and descends in an inclined direction, when the length of the lift module 800 increases, the distribution container 1 is disposed to protrude forward. For example, as shown in FIG. 16 , the front end of the support plate 830 may be disposed to protrude forward by g from the body portion 100 .

Since the lift module 800 can move the distribution container 1 forward only in the process of moving cooked food, the overall size of the rotary cooking apparatus can be reduced. If the lift module can move the support plate only in the direction of the basic axis AX1, the volume of the body should also be increased by g. Moreover, since the support plate moves only along the basic axis AX1, the support plate cannot be moved to various positions in space. In the rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment, since the lift module 800 elevates or lowers the distribution container 1 in an inclined direction, the position of the distribution container 1 can be set in various ways, thereby forming a compact size of the entire apparatus can do.

The lift module 800 may have an elevation height set according to the angle at which the cooking vessel 220 revolves. The lift module 800 maintains or minimizes the distance between the cooking container 220 and the distribution container 1 to stably move cooked food from the cooking container 220 to the distribution container 1 .

In particular, since the lift module 800 can adjust the height of the dispensing container 1, the dispensing container 1 is positioned at an optimal height according to the type or amount of various finished foods to move food safely and cleanly. can

Foods with mainly solid weight or foods with high viscosity can be easily and cleanly moved to the distribution container 1 when the revolving angle of the cooking container 220 is large. That is, food with low fluidity does not move when the cooking container 220 rotates at a small angle, so it must be rotated at a large angle, for example, the third position (E). Thus, food may be moved from the cooking container 220 to the distribution container 1 .

In addition, if a small amount of food is cooked using the cooking vessel 220 , the revolving angle of the cooking vessel 220 must be large so that it can be easily and cleanly moved to the distribution vessel 1 . Due to the depth of the cooking vessel 220, a small amount of food does not move at a small revolution angle, so the cooking vessel 220 must rotate to a large angle, for example, the third position (E), so that even a small amount of food is ) can be moved to

On the other hand, liquid-oriented food or thin food can be carefully moved to the distribution container (1) when the revolving angle of the cooking container 220 is small. That is, when the cooking container 220 suddenly revolves at a large angle, the cooked food overflows to the outside. Therefore, it must be rotated at a small angle, for example, the second position (D), so that the food is stable and clean. It can be moved from 220 to the distribution container (1).

In addition, if a large amount of food is cooked using the cooking vessel 220 , the revolving angle of the cooking vessel 220 must be small so that it can be easily and cleanly moved to the distribution vessel 1 . If the cooked food is filled up to the inner wall surface 213 of the inlet portion of the cooking vessel 220 , the cooking vessel 220 must be rotated slightly at first to move the cooked food stably to the distribution vessel 1 .

The lift module 800 may adjust the position of the distribution container 1 according to the type or amount of food to be cooked, thereby stably moving cooked food from the cooking container 220 to the distribution container 1 . When the fluidity of the food is small or when a small amount of food is cooked, the lift module 800 raises and lowers the distribution container 1 to a lower position. Conversely, if the fluidity of food is large or if a large amount of food is cooked, the lift module 800 may raise and lower the distribution container 1 to a high position.

The lift module 800 may automatically set a position according to the type or amount of food cooked in the cooking container 220 . When cooking is complete, the control module 600 drives the pivot motor 500 according to the stored cooked food information to rotate the cooking vessel 220 to a preset position. In this case, the control module 600 may drive the first driver 810 to raise or lower the position of the support plate 830 to a stored preset position.

Referring to FIG. 17 , the lifting position of the lift module 800 may be adjusted according to the amount of food transferred from the cooking container 220 . The revolution angle of the cooking vessel 220 is adjusted according to the amount of food left in the cooking vessel 220 , and accordingly, the lift module 800 may adjust the spatial position of the distribution vessel 1 .

17 shows that the rotation angle of the cooking container 220 changes according to the amount of cooked food, but at the same time, the elevation height of the distribution container 1 may also change according to the change of the rotation angle of the cooking container 220 .

In detail, since the amount of cooked food is large, the cooking container 220 is initially moved to the second position D, and the elevation height of the distribution container 1 is set to H1 correspondingly. Then, as the amount transferred to the distribution container 1 gradually increases, the revolution angle of the cooking container 220 increases, and the elevation height of the distribution container 1 also changes to H2, H3, and H4 correspondingly. For example, the pivot motor 500 may rotate the pivot shaft 300 to rotate the cooking vessel 220 . In this case, the lift module 800 may lower the elevation height of the distribution container 1 according to the driving amount of the pivot motor 500 .

A rotation angle measuring unit 250 may be disposed on the pivot motor 500 or the pivot shaft 300 . The rotation angle measurement unit 250 may measure data on the rotation angle of the cooking vessel 220 and transmit it to the control module 600 . The controller 600 may be electrically connected to the lift module 800 to adjust the elevation or elevation height of the distribution container 1 .

Also, in another embodiment, a weight measuring unit (not shown) for measuring the weight of the contents of the cooking vessel 220 may be provided on one side or the pivot shaft 300 of the cooking vessel 220 . Based on the data on the weight of the contents measured by the weight measurement unit, it is possible to adjust the elevation height of the distribution container (1).

Referring back to FIG. 16 , the rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment may include a burner module 900 that radiates a flame into the cooking vessel 220 . The burner module 900 may be installed in various forms to radiate a flame on the upper surface of the cooking vessel 220 . The burner module 900 may radiate a flame into the inner space of the cooking vessel 220 to directly burn the outer surface of the food.

The burner module 900 may include a gas tank 910 , a valve 920 , a second supply pipe 930 , and a spark plug 940 . 16 shows an embodiment in which the burner module 900 is installed at the rear of the body part 100 and extended upwards, but the location of the burner module 900 is not limited thereto. It can be installed in various ways, such as arranged or arranged on the front side. However, hereinafter, for convenience of description, the embodiment in which the burner module 750 is disposed at the rear of the body part 100 and extends upwardly so that the discharge end is disposed at the front will be mainly described.

The gas tank 910 may store gas for generating a flame. Although the drawing shows that the gas tank 910 is installed on the rear wall of the body 100 , it is not limited thereto and may be disposed to be spaced apart from the body 100 .

The valve 920 may control the supply of gas to the gas tank 910 . A user may open the valve 920 directly or by the control module 600 to generate a flame.

The second supply pipe 930 has one end connected to the gas tank 910 and the other end disposed toward the cooking vessel 220 .

As an example, the other end of the second supply pipe 930 may be formed to be bent at a predetermined angle θ from the basic axis AX1. The discharge end of the second supply pipe 930 may be bent inwardly toward the cooking vessel 220 . In addition, the discharge end of the second supply pipe 930 may be disposed on the front side of the rotary cooking apparatus. The second supply pipe 930 extends forward by d from the basic axis AX1 that is the rotation axis at the first position C.

Due to the arrangement of the second supply pipe 930 as described above, the burner module 900 may properly cook food. Since the cooking vessel 220 is in a slightly revolving state, food is moved to the side wall of the cooking vessel 220 . At this time, since the flame is emitted, a large amount of food on the side wall of the cooking vessel 220 can be directly ignited.

In addition, the flame is radiated to the cooked food just before the food moves from the cooking vessel 220 to the distribution vessel 1 . In the final stage of cooking, when a flame is emitted from the burner module 900 , so-called breath of the Wok is added to the cooked food to enhance flavor. In particular, since the burner module 900 emits a flame while the cooking vessel 220 revolves at a predetermined angle, it is possible to add fire flavor while moving or just before moving the cooked food.

The spark plug 940 is disposed adjacent to the discharge end of the second supply pipe 930 and may generate a flame. When the spark plug 940 is turned on while gas is supplied, the flame is directly radiated to the cooking vessel 220 .

Hereinafter, operation methods of the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.

19 is a diagram illustrating a method of operating a rotary cooking apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment.

The rotary cooking apparatus according to an embodiment configured as described above waits by first pivoting the cooking container 210 to the food material input position (S1). The food material input position may be a state in which the entrance of the cooking vessel 210 faces vertically upward (first position (C) in FIG. 3 ) (S1). In this state, food ingredients may be placed in the cooking container 210 automatically by a separate ingredient input means or manually by a user (S2). However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the second position (D) of FIG. 3 may be the input position. This is because it can be a good position for the user to put the ingredients in the cooking container (210). However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and as described above, the cooking container 210 may be positioned at the fifth position G to receive food ingredients.

Next, after confirming that the input of the ingredients into the cooking vessel 210 is completed, the processor 630 pivots the cooking vessel 210 to the cooking position (S3). Optionally, the determination of whether the input of the food material is completed may be performed by checking the waiting time at the input position. That is, in the case of continuous cooking, the ingredients can be automatically supplied, so the time required for inputting ingredients according to the type and/or amount of food may be stored in the DB through an experiment or user input in advance. Accordingly, it is possible to check whether the input of the ingredients is completed. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and it can be confirmed that the ingredients are filled in the cooking container 210 through a separate sensor. Optionally, the cooking vessel 210 may be pivoted to the cooking position by the user operating the control module 600 .

The cooking position may be a second position D when referring to FIG. 3 . Therefore, when the input of the material is made at the second position (D), the step S3 may be maintained as it is, and when the input of the material is made at the first position (C), it pivots to the second position (D) can be

Depending on the type of food to be cooked, for example, in the case of liquid food such as soup or soup, the cooking vessel 210 is pivoted or positioned in an upright state (first position (C) in FIG. 3 ) approximately vertical. will keep

On the other hand, for example, in the case of solid food such as meat or vegetables, the cooking vessel 210 is inclined forward by approximately 10 to 60 degrees from vertical (second position (D in FIG. 3 )) will be pivoted with

This control will be automatically controlled by the control module 600 driving the pivot motor 500 to rotate the pivot shaft 300 according to the recipe selected by the user among the recipes stored in the storage unit 640 .

According to the control of the control module 600, power is supplied to the induction device, which is the heating module 400, so that the cooking vessel 210 is heated in a non-contact manner to an appropriate temperature corresponding to the recipe, and at the same time, power is supplied to the rotary motor 220 This is supplied and the cooking vessel 210 rotates at an appropriate speed corresponding to the recipe (S4).

Accordingly, in the cooking container 210, the food is evenly stirred by the wings 211 to cook.

During cooking, as the blow fan 132 of the hood 130 is driven, the collecting plate 131 collects polluted air that rises during cooking and discharges it to the outside through the exhaust duct. Although not shown in the drawings, the blow fan 132 may optionally be electrically connected to the control module 600 to be automatically exhausted by the control module 600 .

When heating and/or rotation of the cooking vessel 210 is started, the processor 630 counts the cooking time (S5).

The processor 630 determines whether the time set in the recipe has expired (S6), and if the time has not yet expired, the temperature of the cooking vessel 210 is checked (S7), and the number of rotations is checked (S8), Determines whether cooking is in progress according to the recipe.

When the time set in the recipe expires, the control module 600 ends the operation of the heating module 400 and the rotary motor 220 (S9).

After cooking is completed, it is checked whether an empty vessel is disposed at a position where the cooking vessel 210 discharges food (S10). The arrangement of the bowl can be confirmed by a method of waiting for the user's next operation after the user confirms whether an empty bowl is placed by notifying the user at the end of step S9 described above.

However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the container sensing unit 614 , for example, an ultrasonic sensor and/or a laser sensor, may detect whether the empty container 1 is located at a position where food is to be discharged, and may be performed. That is, only when the empty container 1 is positioned at a position where the food is to be discharged according to the data transmitted by the container sensing unit 614, the processor 630 may pivot so that the inlet of the cooking container 210 faces downward. can If there is no empty container 1, the user may be notified that there is no empty container 1 by a separate alarm or the like without pivoting (S102). In this case, after a predetermined time again, the processor 630 may proceed with the operation of checking again whether there is an empty container 1 through the container sensing unit 614 .

Then, by driving the pivot motor 500 to rotate the pivot shaft 300, the inlet of the cooking vessel 210 is inclined downward (eg, the third position (E) in FIG. 3 ) and pivots (S11). Accordingly, the food in the cooking container 210 is moved to the empty container 1 placed on the pedestal 140 by its own weight.

Although not shown in the drawings, optionally, the rotary cooking apparatus according to another embodiment may further include a driving module coupled to the cooking vessel 210, and the cooking vessel ( By shaking the 210 up and down, the food inside the cooking container 210 may be smoothly discharged. The driving module may use a stepping motor.

Thereafter, the processor 630 may detect the food discharge (S12). Detecting whether the discharging of the food is complete may be possible by checking the time required for discharging the food at the third position (E) for each type of food. That is, since the viscosity may vary according to the amount and/or type of food, it is possible to detect whether the food is discharged by measuring the time required for discharging in advance and inputting it in the recipe DB. Next, the cooking vessel 210 by the processor 630 is pivoted to the washing position, for example, the fourth position (F) (S13).

Here, the processor 630 rotates the cooking vessel 210 (S14) and sprays washing water through the first spray nozzle 111 provided in the washing container 110 (S15). Optionally, the processor 630 may wash the cooking vessel 210 by first spraying the washing water containing the detergent, and then spraying the washing water for rinsing.

The first spray nozzle 111 faces the inside of the cooking vessel 210 obliquely, and when washing, the cooking vessel 210 continuously rotates, so that the inside of the cooking vessel 210 can be washed evenly. do.

Thereafter, when the washing of the cooking vessel 210 is completed, the processor 630 rotates the rotating motor 220 at high speed to remove the water in the cooking vessel 210 , and the cooking vessel 210 is tapered. All the water inside the cooking vessel 210 is removed by centrifugal force.

As such, the water scattered by the centrifugal force will be recovered into the washing tub 110 because the inlet height of the cooking vessel 210 is lower than the opening height of the washing tub 110 .

Optionally, the processor 630 injects air into the cooking vessel 210 by operating the second injection nozzle 112 (S16). Water inside the cooking vessel 210 may be removed according to the air injection.

Thereafter, by repeating the above-described procedure, cooking and washing dishes are repeatedly performed from the input of the ingredients.

20 is a flowchart illustrating a method of operating a rotary cooking apparatus according to another embodiment. Hereinafter, differences from the embodiment shown in FIG. 15 will be focused on, and duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

When the processor 630 determines whether the predetermined time has expired in step S6, the processor 630 again determines whether the predetermined time is an intermediate time (S62). The intermediate time may mean a time during which the material needs to be added when there is a material to be added during cooking, but the intermediate time is not necessarily limited to one time and may exist multiple times. That is, in cooking one dish, all ingredients may be put into the cooking container 210 from the beginning and cooked, but depending on the dish, certain ingredients are first put in to cook, and then other ingredients are put in again. You can cook it again.

Therefore, if the processor 630 determines that the expired time is the intermediate time, the processor 630 stops the rotation of the cooking vessel 210 and pivots the cooking vessel 210 to the input position (S1), and returns the intermediate material. to receive input (S2). As another example, if oil or the like needs to be added, oil may be supplied to the cooking vessel 220 through the second supply module 750 .

Thereafter, the processor 630 pivots the cooking vessel 210 to the cooking position (S3), starts heating and/or rotation (S4), and repeats the cooking process (S6 to S8).

When it is confirmed that the predetermined time is the final time, not the intermediate time, the processor 630 terminates heating and/or rotation of the cooking vessel 210 (S9), and pivots the cooking vessel 210 to the discharge position ( S10) Discharge food.

After detecting that the food discharge is complete (S12), the cooking vessel 210 is pivoted to the washing position (S13), and washing and drying operations are performed (S14 to S16).

Thereafter, by repeating the above-described procedure, cooking and washing dishes are repeatedly performed from the input of the ingredients.

In another embodiment, by driving the lift module 800, it is possible to move the position of the empty distribution container (1). When the food is cooked, the control module 600 drives the lift module 800 at the same time or before the driving of the pivot motor 500 to adjust the position of the support plate 830 . Thus, the distribution container 1 placed on the support plate 830 is disposed adjacent to the cooking container 220, and stably cooked food can be discharged to the distribution container.

In this case, the control module 600 may set the position of the distribution container 1 by controlling the operation of the lift module 800 according to the type or amount of food being cooked. In addition, when the control module 600 moves from the cooking container 220 to the distribution container 1, the control module 600 can adjust the position to move the food more smoothly. In detail, the control module 600 controls the pivot motor 500 and the first driver 810 to further revolve the cooking vessel 220 and adjust the position of the distribution vessel 1 accordingly, cleanly and quickly. The cooked food may be moved from the cooking container 220 to the distribution container 1 .

In another embodiment, by driving the burner module 900 , the food in the cooking container 220 may be directly ignited. Since the burner module 900 radiates a flame to the upper surface of the cooking vessel 220 , the outside of the food in the cooking vessel 220 may be burned.

As such, the rotary cooking apparatus according to the embodiments improves the weight reduction and corrosion resistance of the cooking vessel by making the cooking vessel tapered with the non-magnetic material sprayed with the magnetic material, while safely heating and cooking by induction, In particular, it has the excellent advantage of maximizing the product's marketability and market competitiveness as it is possible to reliably remove the moisture from the inside after washing.

In addition, the above embodiments can minimize the overall size of the device and simply perform cooking according to various recipes.

All embodiments described herein may be applied in combination with each other.
