Description

The proposed utility model relates to devices for cooking food using a food cartridge and can be used in catering establishments both independently and as part of a technological line, as well as used as household appliances for individual use.

Cooking is a necessary part of everyday life. A lot depends on how, where and what a person eats - from mood and performance, to health and life expectancy. Cooking technology is constantly being improved.

Devices are known for preparing food from fresh food components such as vegetables, meat, fish and the like. Known devices include a heating element for heating or cooking food and a mixing unit for mixing heated or cooked food. Such devices are used to prepare food, such as baby food, by boiling or steam cooking food components that are placed in a container. After the food components are prepared, these components are mixed to obtain a mushy texture suitable for feeding a baby. Known devices contain many different elements, and these elements can be reconfigured during food processing to allow the device to perform a heating operation as well as a mixing operation. The use of such a device is labor intensive and can be time consuming. For example, it may be necessary to open the container to accommodate the mixing element within the container, or to replace other elements to move from a heating operation to a mixing operation, and if additional ingredients need to be added to the mixture. Due to the relatively large number of elements, it takes a long time to clean the device after using the said device (see, for example, patent RU 2 492 795 C2, priority dated 02.04.2008, IPC A47J 44/00, publ. 09/20/2013).

It is known "A device for cooking food with a sliding element with a guiding mechanism", containing a housing, a sliding element located inside the housing and containing a cooking bowl and a basket for food, which is located inside the cooking bowl, a heating system located inside the housing (see patent RU 2 662 684, IPC A47J J 37/04, priority from 14.08.2014, published 03.10.2017, patentee KONIKLEIKE FILIPS N.V. (NL).

Such a device has low performance and can only be used in residential premises.

A variety of automated devices are used to prepare food in the catering system. For example, there is known an "Automatic cooking device with a standard cooking program" comprising a refrigerator for storing food components, a kitchen adapted to prepare food according to the program, a transport line for transporting food components, and a monitor for controlling cooking processes (see patent for the invention RU 2 659 889, IPC A47J J 37/04, priority dated 09/05/2014, patent holder KHAN Tae-hee (KR).

The disadvantage of the invention is the need for a large area for its placement.

The closest thing to the claimed device is a device for cooking food using a product cartridge (see US patent 10165887, priority dated 11/26/2018).

This device contains a pan, a heating element, a cartridge with food, equipped with a protective film, guides for loading the cartridge, a loading device for food ingredients into the cartridge, a controller connected to the heating element and the cartridge movement system, while the protective film on the cartridge contacts the cartridge movement drive , as a result of which the removal of the protective film ensures that the food ingredient from the cartridge enters the loading compartment when the cartridge passes over it. The device also contains one or more spice tanks and reusable water and oil tanks with dispensing devices.

The disadvantage of this device is the lack of cooling of the food components, insufficient mixing of the products in the pan due to its location inside the loading shaft, which leads to the movement of the mixing device in the center of the pan, insufficient accuracy in dosing spices from the spice and oil tanks. All this affects the quality of the final product.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to improve the quality of the product.

The technical result is that the device for cooking, contains a product cartridge with ingredients for preparing a ready-made dish, a saucepan with a lid and a stirring device, tanks for spices, a loading compartment for placing ingredients in a pan, a heating element, a controller connected to the Internet for loading recipe for a specific dish from the server for storing recipes and connected with the heating element and the drive for moving the cartridge, while the cartridge is equipped with a protective film in contact with the drive for moving the cartridge. placed with the ability to move along the inner perimeter of the pan, the pan and the pan lid are made with the ability to move along the runners to the area of the loading compartment and the lid is equipped with an elastic sealing profile, the surface of which is in contact with the agitator, which prevents contamination of the device outside the pan, the spice tanks are placed on a platform with a drive for its movement, and move with a predetermined step for the step-by-step loading of spices.

This implementation provides a significant improvement in the quality of the finished product.

The attached drawing schematically shows the claimed device, where

1 - water dosing device

2 - lift-fork of cartridge pallets

3 - product loading conveyor

4 - control and management unit with a touch screen

5 - loading shaft of products

6 - power supply

7 - pan lid

8 - sealing ring

9 - pan

10 - mixing mechanism

11 - heating device (plate)

12 - water reservoir

13 - ventilation duct with a fan

14 - filter

15 - barcode scanner

16 - unloading mechanism

17 - tanks for spices

18 - mechanism of movement of the platform of spices

19 - drive of the loading mechanism

20 - platform of the spice reservoir

21 - cartridge

22 - cooling device

23 - stirring mechanism drive

24 - controller

The device works as follows.

The operator turns on the power supply 6, the cooling device 22 automatically turns on. Then the operator pours water into the reservoir 1, sets the pan 9 on the platform of the heating device 11, closes the pan 9 with the lid 7 and moves the pan 9 with the lid 7 to the working position; installs the product cartridge 21, and turns on the program of the control unit 4. Under the control of unit 4, the barcode scanner 15 reads the dish code and then the control unit 4 loads the digital culinary program for cooking the dish into the controller 24, which controls the operation of the actuators of the device. The controller 24 issues a command to move the cartridge 21 along the loading conveyor 3 to load products into the pan 9 from the cartridge 21 through the loading shaft 5. The fork lift 2 moves the pallet with ingredients from the cartridge 21 to open the loading shaft of the products 5. On the other hand, by commands controller 24, the movement mechanism of the spice platform 18 moves the platform of the spice tanks 20 to the desired position, in which the drive of the loading mechanism 19 is turned on and the unloading mechanism 16 loads the corresponding spices into the pan 9 from the spice tanks 17. Food ingredients loaded into the pan 9 are mixed by the stirring a mechanism 10, which with the help of a drive 23 moves along the inner perimeter of the pan along the sealing profile 8 of the pan cover 7. The fan of the ventilation duct 13 is turned on to deposit vapors on the filter 14 and the heating device 11 to a predetermined mode; the first portion of the ingredients is prepared. Then, in accordance with the digital cooking program of the dish from the cartridge 21, the next dish ingredient can be loaded into the pan 9, the spices from the reservoir 17 and the water dispenser 1 from the reservoir 12 added water to the pan 9, the stirring mechanism 10 and the heating device 11 are turned on. the procedure can be repeated several times in accordance with the program. At the end of the program, the control unit 4 gives a message about the end of cooking and the operator can pull the pan 9 out of the device, remove the cover 7 and take out the prepared food.
