The present invention provides a circulating automatic cooking apparatus that rapidly and unattendedly cooks various foods while a plurality of cooking containers 200 are circulating, so that cooking can be washed without manpower such as a cook to operate a restaurant without incurring labor costs. It is a basic feature of the technology that it is possible to always provide a uniform high-quality food by cooking according to a predetermined recipe.

If described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of the present invention.

The circulating automatic cooking apparatus according to the present invention includes a wire 100 that is guided and circulated along a trajectory, as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4; A cooking vessel 200 connected to the wire 100 and circulating together; A pivot adjustment rail 300 that is disposed along the trajectory of the wire 100 but at a different height to control the pivot angle of the cooking vessel 200 according to the position by contact with the cooking vessel 200; It is preferable to include a heating member 400 that is located in some section of the movement path of the cooking vessel 200 to heat the cooking vessel 200.

That is, the circulating automatic cooking apparatus of the present invention largely includes a wire 100, a cooking vessel 200, a pivot adjusting rail 300, and a heating member 400.

First, the wire 100 is disposed at approximately the same height from the installation surface to circulate a predetermined trajectory by a plurality of guide rollers 101 in a configuration corresponding to a driving source for moving the cooking vessel 200 to be described below. .

The trajectory of the wire 100 will proceed clockwise in FIG. 2, and may be divided into, for example, a material input section, a heating section, a food discharging section, a washing section, etc. according to the state of the cooking vessel 200. There will be.

Here, the material input section means a section in which food ingredients are introduced into the cooking container 200 using the hopper 700, and the heating section uses the heating member 400 to heat the cooking container 200 to store food and drink. It means the cooking section.

In addition, the food discharging section means a section in which the cooked food is transferred from the cooking container 200 to the tableware 1 moving through the conveyor 800, and the washing section is a cooking container using the washing nozzle 900. 200) means a section for washing.

Therefore, the wire 100 has flexibility to be bent along the guide roller 101, and has a tensile strength sufficient to maintain an appropriate tension capable of simultaneously driving a plurality of cooking vessels 200 at the same time. desirable.

As illustrated in FIG. 10, the wire 100 may be arranged by varying the length in an I-shape, and may be arranged in various shapes such as a T-shape or an H-shape as needed.

As a result, it is possible to configure the length of the wire 100 relatively long in a space of a limited length or area, so that it is possible to secure a long cooking or washing time, or to use other components for assisting cooking.

At this time, it is also possible to directly circulate the wire 100 using a driving motor (not shown), or by connecting the output shaft of the driving motor to the rotating shaft of the guide roller 101, indirectly through the guide roller 101. As a result, it may be possible to circulate the wire 100.

Along with this, a separate transmission member (not shown) may be provided between the driving motor and the wire 100 to increase or decrease the circulation speed of the wire 100 in a state in which the rotation speed of the driving motor is uniform.

Alternatively, it is also possible to provide a driving motor capable of controlling the rotational speed and to increase or decrease the rotational speed of the driving motor directly according to a control signal without the above-described separate shifting member to adjust the circulation speed of the wire 100.

Next, the cooking vessel 200 is a container-shaped tubular body having a predetermined depth so that cooking can be performed by putting a material therein, and can be manufactured in various shapes, and has a cylindrical cross section as illustrated in the drawings. The cooking vessel 200 may be provided, or although not shown, may be formed of a cylindrical body having a polygonal cross section such as a triangle or a square.

The cooking vessel 200 is connected to a single wire 100 at a plurality of intervals, so that a plurality of cooking vessels 200 can be integrally circulated according to the circular driving of the wire 100.

The cooking vessel 200 is preferably coated with a material such as Teflon to prevent food from sticking and to have corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance.

At this time, the cooking vessel 200 is connected to the wire 100 so as to be rotatable and pivotable, where rotating of the cooking vessel 200 means rotating relative to the central axis of the cooking vessel 200, , Pivot of the cooking vessel 200 means that the cooking vessel 200 orbits based on the wire 100.

The form in which the cooking container 200 is connected to the wire 100 to be rotatable and pivotable may be variously implemented.

For example, as shown in Figure 5, by providing the axial bearing 221 on the link 220 connected to the bottom surface of the cooking vessel 200, the cooking vessel 200 can rotate on the wire 100 In addition, the cooking vessel 200 may be pivotably connected to the wire 100 by providing a circumferential bearing 222 on the wire 100.

Of course, in the present invention, the rotating and pivoting of the cooking vessel 200 is not limited to the above-described structure, and a more preferred embodiment includes the mover 520, which will be described below.

In addition, one or more locking jaws 201 are protruded inside the cooking vessel 200 to stir or invert the food contained in the cooking vessel 200 according to the rotation of the cooking vessel 200. It plays a role.

Although the drawings illustrate that a pair of locking jaws 201 are formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cooking vessel 200 to face each other, three or four or more locking jaws 201 may be formed on one cooking vessel 200, Only one locking jaw 201 may be formed.

At this time, it is also possible to form a locking jaw 201 of the same height in all of the plurality of cooking containers 200, but preferably a high height of the engaging jaw 201 is formed in some of the plurality of cooking containers 200, , Other than the cooking vessel 200, it is also possible to form the height of the locking jaw 201, such as forming a low-hanging jaw 201, according to the cooking vessel 200.

In this case, it may be possible to select and use the cooking vessel 200 in which the locking jaw 201 of a suitable height is appropriately stirred or flipped according to the material size of the food to be cooked, and the description thereof will be described in more detail later. do.

In addition, it is also possible to form a locking jaw 201 in which the height changes according to the height direction position of the cooking vessel 200 in one cooking vessel 200.

That is, by forming a locking jaw 201 having a relatively low height on the upper portion of the cooking container 200 and forming a locking jaw 201 so that the height gradually increases toward the lower portion of the cooking container 200, the cooking container It is preferable to make the stirring or the flip of the material more reliably and smoothly at the lower portion than the upper portion of the 200.

In addition, as described above, when the cooking container 200 is formed in a square or triangular cross section instead of a circular cross section, even if the locking jaws 201 are not separately formed, the food is stirred only by rotating the cooking container 200. Or it will be possible to flip.

Next, the pivot adjustment rail 300 is configured to control the pivot angle of the cooking vessel 200 while allowing the cooking vessel 200 to rotate as described above, and follows the trajectory of the wire 100 but is supported from the installation surface. It is arranged so that the height is gradually changed to come into contact with the cooking vessel 200.

In other words, the pivot adjustment rail 300 is arranged such that the cooking vessel 200 has a difference in support height to maintain a desired inclination angle according to each section.

That is, for example, as indicated by a dotted line in the upper portion of FIG. 5, in the section where the height of the pivot adjustment rail 300 is higher than the wire 100, the opening of the cooking vessel 200 is directed upward.

However, as shown by the solid line at the bottom of FIG. 5, in the section where the height of the pivot adjustment rail 300 is lower than the wire 100, the opening of the cooking vessel 200 will be directed downward.

Accordingly, in the material input section or the heating section, the food material is introduced into the cooking container 200 so that the opening of the cooking container 200 faces upward, and cooking is completed in the food discharging section. It will be possible to transfer to the separate tableware 1 from the cooking vessel 200 and the like.

Of course, if necessary, the cooking vessel 200 may be washed with the opening of the cooking vessel 200 vertically downward as indicated by a dotted line in the lower portion of FIG. 5.

To this end, the pivot adjustment rail 300 is located on the outside of the wire 100 and is disposed in a circle with the wire 100, it will be preferable to be formed to lead to one without a step.

Along with this, rotation of the cooking container 200 may be basically caused by frictional force caused by mutual contact between the cooking container 200 and the pivot adjustment rail 300.

However, if necessary, a separate driving motor for rotation may be additionally provided to the cooking container 200, or it may be possible to add a separate rotational force for rotating the cooking container 200 from the outside.

In addition, if necessary, the cooking container 200 may be divided into a section in which rotation is required and a section in which rotation is unnecessary, and a section in which the rotational speed of the cooking container 200 is locally required may be required. I will explain.

Therefore, a separate friction contact member is additionally provided on the pivot adjusting rail 300 to increase frictional force without slipping between the outer circumferential surface of the cooking vessel 200 and the pivot adjusting rail 300, It will be possible to rotate the cooking vessel 200 smoothly.

Finally, the heating member 400 is configured to heat the cooking vessel 200 by being locally disposed in a partial section, for example, a heating section.

The heating member 400 may also be configured such as a gas range burning combustible materials or an electric range using electrical resistance heat.

However, more preferably, an induction range for heating the cooking vessel 200 in a non-contact manner through magnetic induction according to power supply will be preferable in terms of energy efficiency and safety.

Through this, compared to burning the combustible material, there is no oxygen consumption and there is no waste gas emission, so it is possible to reduce indoor air pollution and increase in indoor temperature, and has the advantage of lowering the risk of burns.

The heating member 400 is located in a heating section, which is a part of the movement path of the cooking vessel 200, and one heating member 400 may be arranged for a long time, but the heating member 400 having a relatively short length is provided. It is also possible to arrange a large number along the movement path of the cooking vessel 200.

In particular, when a plurality of heating members 400 are provided, it may be possible to heat each heating member 400 to a different temperature, which may be subsequently performed according to the heating temperature of the heating member 400. It can be used to control the rotation speed to be controlled differently.

Therefore, the circulating automatic cooking apparatus according to the present invention is configured as described above, and basically, in the material input section, the cooking container 200 is pivoted upward to input food ingredients into the cooking container 200, and this state In the heating section, it is possible to rotate the cooking container 200 while heating the cooking container 200 with the heating member 400, and in the food discharging section, the cooking container 200 is pivoted downward to dish the cooked food. It becomes possible to transfer to (1).

The addition of various functions to the present invention having such a basic configuration will be described below.

First, another example of the connection between the wire 100 and the cooking vessel 200 will be described.

In the foregoing, it was illustrated that the link 220 provided with the axial bearing 221 and the circumferential bearing 222 is provided between the wire 100 and the cooking vessel 200.

However, in the case of such a configuration, there is a fear that the pivot radius of the cooking vessel 200 is increased or a relatively large load is applied to the wire 100.

Therefore, in the present invention, preferably, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the guide rail 510 disposed along the trajectory of the wire 100; It is preferable to further include an operator 520 clamped to the wire 100 and guided on the guide rail 510 to circulate together, and rotatably and pivotally support the cooking vessel 200.

That is, the guide rail 510 is disposed between the wire 100 and the pivot adjustment rail 300 at the same height as the wire 100.

The guide rail 510 is preferably made of a pair of outer and inner, and is arranged to guide the mover 520 on the guide rail 510.

The mover 520 may include a body 521, a clamp 522, a roller 523, and a pivot shaft 524.

First, the body 521 forms a skeleton of the mover 520, and may be formed of two sheets of upper and lower spaced apart from each other.

A clamp 522 clampable to the wire 100 is extended to the body 521, such that the clamp 522 is clamped to the wire 100, so that the operator 520 is circulated when the wire 100 is circulated. Is able to move integrally.

Along with this, a plurality of rollers 523 are rotatably provided on the body 521 of the mover 520, and the rollers 523 are rolled in contact with the guide rail 510.

For example, the mover 520 is provided with rollers 523 that roll in contact with the upper, inner, and lower sides of the outer guide rail 510, respectively, and the upper, inner, and lower sides of the inner guide rail 510 are rolled. Rollers 523 are rolled in contact with each other.

Accordingly, the mover 520 can stably move with the wire 100 described above without generating play or friction on the pair of guide rails 510.

In addition, the pivot shaft 524 is pivotally connected to the upper portion of the body 521 of the mover 520, and the pivot shaft 524 is refracted in an L-shape to form the above-mentioned cooking vessel ( 200) is connected.

At this time, an axial bearing 221 is also provided between the pivot shaft 524 and the cooking vessel 200 so that the cooking vessel 200 is rotatably supported by the pivot shaft 524.

According to the configuration of the mover 520, it is possible not only to design the pivot radius of the cooking vessel 200 to be small, but also to prevent the large load from acting on the wire 100, and the cooking vessel 200. It becomes possible to stably support so that it can rotate and pivot.

As a result, as shown in Fig. 7 (a), in the material input section where the pivot adjustment rail 300 is higher than the guide rail 510, the opening of the cooking vessel 200 is directed upward, such In the middle of the material input section, it is possible to input food ingredients into the cooking container 200.

In addition, as shown in (b) of FIG. 7, in the food discharge section in which the pivot adjustment rail 300 is lower than the guide rail 510, the opening of the cooking vessel 200 is directed downward, and such food is In the discharge section, it becomes possible to transfer food to the tableware 1.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7(c), in the washing section without the pivot adjustment rail 300, the opening of the cooking vessel 200 is vertically directed downward, so that the washing of the cooking vessel 200 is also possible. Becomes

Next, the action of rotating as the cooking vessel 200 moves together with the wire 100 will be described.

As described above, the rotation of the cooking vessel 200 is due to frictional contact with the pivot adjustment rail 300, and the addition of a friction contact member to the pivot adjustment rail 300 has been described above.

However, in order to make the rotation of the cooking vessel 200 more reliable, as illustrated in FIG. 8 in the present invention, the outer peripheral surface of the cooking vessel 200 and some sections of the pivot adjustment rail 300 are mutually intersected. It is preferable that the matching

teeth

210 and 310 are formed so that the cooking vessel 200 rotates as it moves.

That is, the gear 310 is formed on the pivot adjustment rail 300 so that rotation of the cooking vessel 200 is forcibly performed in the entire length or a partial section of the pivot adjustment rail 300 described above, and the teeth 310 ) To form a tooth 210 on the outer circumferential surface of the cooking vessel 200 to mesh.

According to this, when the cooking vessel 200 circulates with the wire 100, it is possible to force the

teeth

210 and 310 to engage with each other to force rotation of the cooking vessel 200.

Here, the

teeth

210, 310 is possible to directly process the teeth on the cooking vessel 200 and the pivot adjustment rail 300, but if necessary, the teeth are processed in a separate configuration. It will also be possible to add the processed configuration to the cooking vessel 200 or the pivot adjustment rail 300.

For example, the

teeth

210 and 310 may be formed by separately processing a ring, a plate, a band, etc. of a heat-resistant material processed with a toothed shape and bonding it to the cooking container 200 or the pivot adjustment rail 300, Accordingly, it helps to increase processing convenience and reduce production cost.

However, when a friction contact member is added to the pivot adjustment rail 300 or when the

teeth

210 and 310 are added, the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200 depends on the moving speed of the wire 100, There may be a limit to speed up or slow down the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200.

Accordingly, in the present invention, as shown in Figure 9, the cooking vessel 200 and the belt 610 that can contact the outer circumferential surface; A pulley 620 for rotating the belt 610; A driving member 630 for transmitting rotational force to the pulley 620 is additionally provided; It is preferable that the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200 can be increased or decreased at a speed different from the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200 by the

teeth

210 and 310.

As described above, a plurality of rotating speed increasing and decreasing parts 600 including the belt 610, the pulley 620, and the driving member 630 may be provided in the heating section as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

That is, in the section in which the rotating speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 is provided, it is possible for the rotating speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 to control the pivot of the cooking container 200 as well as the rotation of the pivot adjusting rail 300.

Here, the rotation speed increasing and decreasing unit 600 is provided with a driving motor (not shown) to rotate the driving member 630, the driving member 630 is connected to the pulley 620, the pulley 620 Will be rotated.

Accordingly, the belt 610 guided to the pulley 620 may substantially contact the outer circumferential surface of the cooking container 200 to rotate the cooking container 200.

In particular, by adjusting the rotational speed of the driving member 630, it is possible to arbitrarily adjust the rotational speed of the cooking vessel 200.

According to this, for example, it is possible to rotate the cooking vessel 200 at a higher speed through the rotating speed increasing/decreasing part 600 while simultaneously heating to a heating member 400 in a local section according to food and drink. .

Conversely, it is also possible to appropriately reduce the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200 through the rotation speed increase/decrease unit 600 in a state of heating at a relatively low temperature with the heating member 400.

That is, it is possible to adjust the rotation speed of the cooking vessel 200 rapidly or slowly through the rotation speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 according to the heating temperature of the heating member 400 as necessary.

The pivot adjustment rail 300 may be excluded from the section in which the rotation speed increase/decrease unit 600 as described above is provided, that is, the heating section.

Of course, although not shown, the pivot adjusting rail 300 is basically disposed, and the rotating speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 is provided at a lower height than the pivot adjusting rail 300, but the height of the rotating speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 is increased. It is also possible to have an elevating member capable of elevating.

According to this, the cooking vessel 200 passes through the heating section while rotating at a predetermined rotational speed in frictional contact with the pivot adjustment rail 300, but rotates the rotational speed increasing/decreasing part 600 through the elevating member as necessary. By raising it higher than the pivot adjustment rail 300, it is possible to increase or decrease the rotational speed of the cooking vessel 200 by making the rotating speed increasing/decreasing unit 600 contact the cooking vessel 200.

And, in the present invention, a hopper 700 capable of injecting food ingredients into the cooking vessel 200; A conveyor 800 for transporting the dishes 1 while driving at the same speed as the circulation speed of the wire 100; It is preferable that the cleaning nozzle 900 for cleaning the cooking vessel 200 is additionally configured.

That is, in the present invention, it is possible to prepare the hopper 700 and automatically inject food ingredients into the cooking vessel 200.

At this time, the position where the hopper 700 is installed may be provided before the heating section, as shown in Figure 7 (a) is provided at a higher position than the cooking vessel 200 was located therein according to the opening and closing It is good that the ingredients are introduced into the cooking vessel 200 by self-weight.

In addition, although not shown, when food materials trimmed to an appropriate size for cooking food are input by classifying, the appropriate weight of various food materials is weighed according to the food to be cooked and supplied to the hopper 700. , Finally, by opening and closing the hopper 700, it is also possible to inject various food ingredients into the cooking vessel 200 below.

In particular, by connecting it to the POS, for example, when receiving a food order from a customer through a terminal provided in a restaurant and payment is completed, or when the customer orders and pays directly, the appropriate food material is selected according to the ordered food and drink. It is also possible to automatically supply food ingredients to the cooking vessel 200 from the hopper 700 by metering and supplying the hopper 700.

Here, POS is a system that combines the functions of a cash register and a computer terminal, and not only calculates the amount of sales, but also collects and processes various information and data necessary for retail management, and is a point-of-sale management system.

According to this, not only can the sales flow by food type be identified by unit item, but also the sales trends and time zones of new and promotional products, sales lagging products, sales trends with similar or competitive products, etc. can be grasped in detail. It is also possible to effectively establish marketing strategies such as correlation, targets for targeting, and advertising plans.

In addition, it is possible to reduce costs by simplifying and standardizing the inventory, ordering, and delivery management systems that required human hands.

According to this, it is possible to directly place an order according to the taste of the customer, to further input specific ingredients preferred by the customer, or to prepare food by excluding specific ingredients preferred by the customer, and, alternatively, to heat the cooking time It is possible to make it slightly cooked or more fully cooked by directly selecting this.

In other words, various recipes can be adjusted according to the customer's request, and by registering the personal information of the customer in advance, it is also possible to recommend the preferred food or recommended food to the customer, and once the customer has registered the food, It is also possible to allow automatic cooking.
