Description

Cooking equipment

The invention relates to a cooking device.

In order to prevent the raw material from sticking to the cooking pot, a non-stick coating is usually provided in the pot. The non-stick coating prevents the raw material from sticking to the pan, but it is prone to wear. Especially for pots used in factories and school restaurants, the number of times of use can reach dozens or even hundreds of times a day. With such high frequency use, the non-stick coating of the pan is quickly worn. The problem is that the non-stick coating is difficult to repair and the pot is replaced after the non-stick coating is worn. In this way, the pots used in the restaurant occasions will be replaced in a few months, which makes the pots have a short service life and become consumables, causing huge waste.

On the other hand, for the drum type cooking apparatus, the stirring member generally has two mounting methods. One is that the stirring member is fixed on the inner wall of the pot and moves together with the pot body to form a stirring of the material, which is also called passive stirring; the disadvantage is that the stirring mode is single.

The other one is that the stirring member is arranged in the pot by the stirring shaft, and can move relative to the pot. When the pot moves, the stirring material can be stirred regardless of whether the stirring member is stationary or moving in the forward or reverse direction. . For example, Chinese Patent No. 201020275615.2 discloses a cooking apparatus and a stirring device for a cooking apparatus, comprising two driving devices, a first transmission mechanism, a second transmission mechanism, and a stirring for stirring the dishes in the cooking utensils of the cooking utensils. The first transmission mechanism is coupled to a driving device and drives the agitating member to rotate around the first rotation axis on the first steering Rotating at a rotational speed, the second transmission mechanism is coupled to another driving device for driving the pan to rotate at a second rotational speed on the second steering about the second axis of rotation, and to stir the pan and the pan The pieces rotate relative to each other. The technical solution has the advantages of various mixing methods and good stirring effect; the disadvantage is that a gap must be set between the stirring member and the pot, and the pot cannot be stirred, and the pot has a good non-stick effect. Wherein, if the stirring member is too far from the inner wall of the pot, the stirring effect cannot be ensured, and if it is too close or even fitted, the pot is easily scratched because the coaxiality of the rotating shaft of the pot and the stirring member is not easy.
