In some embodiments, the main body 2000 comprises an operation module (i.e., the operation area mentioned above), and the feeding device 1000 comprises a controller, wherein in a state that the main body 2000 establishes a communication connection with the feeding device 1000, the controller of the feeding device 1000 can obtain information related to a target seasoning to be dispensed, which is input by the operation module, and control the feeding device 1000 to perform a related operation according to the related information. The cooking apparatus of the embodiment of the present application further includes a feeding assembly 80, the feeding assembly 80 is communicated with the main body 2000 and the feeding device 1000, so that the feeding device 1000 can feed the seasoning to the cooking container 201 of the main body 2000 through the feeding assembly 80. As shown in fig. 1c and 1d, in order to facilitate the assembly and storage of the cooking apparatus, the feeding assembly 80 may be detachably connected to the main body 2000 and the feeding device 1000, respectively, so that the feeding assembly 80, the main body 2000, and the feeding device 1000 may be separately stored.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1e, the feeding module 80 is connected to the main body 2000 and/or the charging device 1000 by a locking module 90; wherein the locking assembly 90 comprises: a snap-in portion 91 and a biasing portion 92. The catching portion 91 is movable between a catching position and a releasing position. In the engaged position, the main body 2000 and/or the loading unit 1000 are connected to the feeding module 80, and in the released position, the feeding module 80 is separated from the main body 2000 and/or the loading unit 1000. The feeding assembly 80 and the main body 2000, and the feeding assembly 80 and the feeding device 1000 can be connected through the locking assembly 90, so that the feeding assembly 80 and the main body 2000 can be detachably connected, and the feeding assembly 1000 can be detachably connected. The force application portion 92 is connected to the engaging portion 91 and is configured to receive an external force to drive the engaging portion 91 to move from the engaging position to the releasing position. Illustratively, the force applying portion 92 may be configured to receive a pressing force applied by a user, so that the clamping portion 91 is separated from the clamping position under the pressing force, and the feeding assembly 80 may be separated from the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000 connected thereto, thereby achieving detachment. In other embodiments, the acting force applied by the force application portion 92 may also be a rotating torque force, a push-pull force, etc., and through a reasonable structural design, the clamping portion 91 can be separated from the clamping position by a preset acting force, and the application is not limited to a specific driving form.

In some embodiments, the locking assembly 90 further comprises: an elastic portion 93. The elastic part 93 is connected with the clamping part 91, the force application part 92 can receive external force to enable the elastic part 93 to be elastically deformed, and the clamping part 91 moves from the clamping position to the releasing position; when the external force is removed, the elastic portion 93 is deformed, so that the locking portion 91 is returned to the locking position from the releasing position. For example, the elastic portion 93 may be a compression spring, and both ends of the compression spring may be connected to the biasing portion 92 and the clamping portion 91, respectively. Therefore, the force applied to the force applying portion 92 can act on the elastic portion 93 to deform the elastic portion 93, and when the force applying portion 92 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic portion 93 can be in a natural state or a small deformation state. In the external force canceling process, the elastic portion 93 gradually recovers deformation to drive the force application portion 92 and the engaging portion 91 to return to the initial state, and the engaging portion 91 returns to the engaging position. In a specific application scenario, when the feeding assembly 80 needs to be connected to the main body 2000, a user presses the force application portion 92, the clamping portion 91 moves to a predetermined releasing position, then the feeding assembly 80 is inserted into a predetermined connecting position on the main body 2000, the force application portion 92 is released, and the clamping portion 91 moves to a clamping position clamped with the main body 2000 under the action of the restoring force of the elastic portion 93, so that the feeding assembly 80 is reliably connected and locked with the main body 2000. Therefore, during the use of the whole cooking apparatus, the feeding assembly 80 is not easily touched by mistake, and the connection between the feeding assembly and the main body 2000 is not easy to be loosened. Of course, the connection between the feeding assembly 80 and the feeding device 1000 can refer to the connection between the feeding assembly 80 and the main body 2000, which is not described herein.

The feeding module 80 comprises a feeding pipe 81 and a connecting joint 82, the connecting joint 82 is located at the end of the feeding pipe 81, the locking module 90 is provided at the connecting joint 82, and the main body 2000 and/or the charging device 1000 is provided with a socket (not shown in the drawings) into which at least a part of the connecting joint 82 is inserted. Specifically, the insertion portion may be a concave hole or a groove. The connector 82 can be fixedly connected with the material conveying pipeline 81, and is inserted into the insertion part of the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000 through the connector 82, so that the contact area of the connection part between the material conveying assembly 80 and the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000 is larger, and the connection is more stable and reliable. Specifically, the connection joint 82 includes: a first joint part 82a and a second joint part 82b. The first joint portion 82a is connected to the feed passage 81. The second joint portion 82b has a portion inserted and fixed into the first joint portion 82a and another portion for connection with the charging device 1000 and/or the main body 2000 through the locking assembly 90. The locking assembly 90 is disposed between the first joint portion 82a and the second joint portion 82b, and the clamping portion 91 of the locking assembly 90 is used for extending out from the second joint portion 82b to be clamped with the charging device 1000 and/or the main body 2000. Designing the connector 82 as a separate structure and the locking assembly 90 disposed in the separate connector 82 facilitates the molding of the connector 82 and the installation of the locking assembly 90. More specifically, a through hole 82a1 through which the urging portion 92 projects may be provided on the first joint portion 82 a. After the first joint part 82a and the second joint part 82b are separately molded, the locking assembly 90 can be connected with the first joint part 82a, and then the whole of the locking assembly 90 and the first joint part is inserted into the second joint part 82b to form a whole. Thereby, the molding and assembly of the connection joint 82 is facilitated.

Different seasonings can be contained in different material bottles 11, the seasonings comprise liquid mixed seasonings, oil, clear water and the like, wherein the mixed seasonings comprise at least one liquid mixture of salt, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, hot pepper and the like, and the plurality of material bottles 11 can realize the partition placement of the plurality of seasonings to meet different requirements. Since the frequency of use of some seasonings is high, or the amount of seasonings used at a time is large, and the frequency of use of some seasonings is low, or the amount of seasonings used at a time is small, in order to make more reasonable use of the material bottles 11, in one embodiment, at least two material bottles 11 having different capacities exist in the plurality of material bottles 11. Specifically, among the plurality of flasks 11, at least one flask 11 has a first capacity and at least one flask 11 has a second capacity, the first capacity being greater than the second capacity. Taking five material bottles 11 shown in fig. 2 and fig. 8a as an example, three material bottles 11 have the same size and have a third capacity, and the other two material bottles 11 have different sizes, i.e., a first capacity and a second capacity, respectively, and the third capacity is smaller than the second capacity. That is, the five material bottles 11 are divided into three types of material bottles 11, namely, a large material bottle 11, a medium material bottle 11, a small material bottle 11 and three material bottles. Generally, the first large-capacity seasoning bottle 11 is used for containing seasoning such as clean water which is frequently used and is used in a large amount, and is used for self-cleaning of the cooking device, and the cooking device is required to be cleaned basically every time the dish is fried. The third capacity seasoning bottle 11 having a small capacity is used for containing seasoning such as mixed seasoning of salt, ginger, garlic, light soy sauce, hot pepper, sugar, etc., which is used frequently and in a small amount. The medium second capacity material bottle 11 contains edible oil. In one embodiment, three small-sized seasoning bottles 11 contain mixed seasonings. Further, solid seasonings such as ginger, garlic, pepper and the like can be ground into powder and added with water to form mixed seasonings to be filled into the small-size seasoning bottle 11 for convenient addition. The three small-sized seasoning bottles 11 can contain mixed seasonings with different proportions to form different tastes, such as original taste, spicy taste, sweet taste and the like. For better assembly, each flask 11 is similar in shape and the different flasks 11 have the same height, ranging from 100MM to 350MM, preferably 216MM. The whole structure with the same height can be spliced after the whole assembly. The similar shape here means that the cross section of each of the flasks 11 is the same shape.

In some embodiments, each of the material bottles 11 has a fan-shaped cross section so that a plurality of material bottles 11 can be combined into a material bottle assembly 10 having a circular cross section. The turntable 20 has a plurality of compartments 21 (see fig. 3 and 9), each compartment 21 is accommodated by one material bottle 11, and the cross-sectional shape of each compartment 21 matches the cross-sectional shape of the corresponding material bottle 11, so that the plurality of compartments 21 are combined into a circular shape. The cross section of each material bottle 11 is in a sector shape, and the central angles are different, so that different capacities are realized. For example, as shown in fig. 2, 3 and 8a, the first capacity of the material bottle 11 has a larger central angle than the second capacity of the material bottle 11, and the second capacity of the material bottle 11 has a larger central angle than the third capacity of the material bottle 11. In some embodiments, the first volume of material bottles 11 has a central angle in the range of 90 degrees to 180 degrees, the second volume of material bottles 11 has a central angle in the range of 60 degrees to 120 degrees, and the third volume of material bottles 11 has a central angle in the range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees. As a preferred embodiment, the central angle of the first volume of the material bottle 11 is 135 degrees, the central angle of the second volume of the material bottle is 90 degrees, the central angle of the third volume of the material bottle 11 is 45 degrees, and the central angles of the five material bottles form 360 degrees. In other embodiments, the shape of some of the flasks 11 may also vary. Design into the material bottle subassembly 10 circularly to with the cooperation of circular shape carousel 20, can make whole volume less, space utilization is reasonable, and it is less to occupy the kitchen area, more can improve user experience.

In some embodiments, the first volume of material bottles 11 is filled with clear water, and during the operation of the cooking device, the amount of clear water used is large, in order to ensure that the material bottle assembly 10 has a sufficient volume of clear water without affecting the overall diameter and height of the material box assembly, so as to achieve the reasonable overall layout and balance of the material bottle assembly 10 and the plurality of material bottles 11, the volume of the first volume of material bottles 11 is at least greater than or equal to 1 liter. To add the seasoning into the material bottle 11, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8a to 8c, the material bottle 11 includes a bottle body 114 and a cap body 115, the bottle body 114 may be disposed in an opening, and the cap body 115 covers the opening of the bottle body 114. The cap 115 and the bottle 114 are separable, and the cap 115 is detachably sealed to the opening of the bottle 114, so that when seasoning is insufficient, the cap 115 is opened to add seasoning into the bottle 114. Further, as shown in fig. 8b, a vent hole 1151 is provided in the lid body 115, and the vent hole communicates with the inside of the vial 114. Therefore, when the discharge port 111 and the charging port 22 are communicated for material suction, the air pressure inside and outside the material bottle 11 can be ensured to be balanced. Also, a check valve 1152 is provided at the vent hole 1151, and the check valve 1152 is used to allow external air to enter the bottle body 114 and to block liquid in the bottle body 114 from flowing out of the check valve 1152. Specifically, the check valve 1152 may be a duckbill check valve 1152 having a function of ventilating but blocking the discharge of liquid, so that the liquid seasoning in the bottle body 114 does not leak out even if the material bottle 11 is inverted. In some embodiments, vent 1151 is in a normally open state, check valve 1152 is in a normally closed state; when part of the seasoning in the material bottle 11 flows to the main body machine 2000, the air pressure in the material bottle 11 is reduced, the check valve 1152 is opened in one direction under the action of the atmospheric pressure, and the outside air enters the material bottle 11 through the vent 1151 and the check valve 1152, so that the balance of the air pressure inside and outside the material bottle 11 is ensured. The check valve 1152 is a flexible one-way valve to ensure that the seasoning in the seasoning bottle 11 smoothly flows into the main body 2000.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 8b, the cover 115 may include a first component 115a and a second component 115b that are fastened to each other, the second component 115b covers the bottle 114, and the first component 115a covers the second component 115 b. The first and

second segments

115a and 115b may be fastened to form a receiving cavity, the check valve 1152 may be disposed on the second segment 115b, and may be embedded in the second segment 115b, the check valve 1152 may be located in the receiving cavity, one end of the check valve 1152 is communicated with the vent hole 1151, and the other end of the check valve 1152 penetrates through the second segment 115b and extends into the bottle body 114. In some embodiments, the check valve 1152 is at least partially disposed between the first and

second segments

115a and 115b, and the check valve 1152 is at least partially disposed within the body 114. The vent 1151 and the check valve 1152 are provided to facilitate the detachment and assembly of the lid 115 and to ensure smooth flow of the seasoning in the material bottle 11 into the main body. In some embodiments, the cap 115 and the bottle 114 are fan-shaped in cross-section, and the vent 1151 and the check valve 1152 are disposed in the center of the fan-shaped area. It will be appreciated that to facilitate replacement of check valve 1152, first body 115a and second body 115b may be removably coupled, such as by snap-fitting or interference fit via a sealing ring, and first body 115a and second body 115b may be separated when an external force is greater than the snap or interference fit. Preferably, the first and

second bodies

115a and 115b may be detachably and hermetically connected, so that the air inside the bottle body 114 can be discharged only through the check valve 1152 in an assembled state.

Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 9 in combination, in order to better store the plurality of material bottles 11 as a whole, in some embodiments, the feeding unit 100 further includes a turntable 20, and the material bottle assembly 10 is mounted to the turntable 20 and is integrated with the turntable 20, so as to prevent the plurality of material bottles 11 of the material bottle assembly 10 from scattering. One practical way to mount the material bottle assembly 10 and the rotary table 20 is that the rotary table 20 has a plurality of compartments 21, and the bottom wall of each compartment 21 is opened with a material inlet 22, that is, as shown in fig. 10a, a schematic perspective view of the rotary table 20 from another angle (i.e., a bottom angle of the rotary table) of the rotary table 20 shown in fig. 9, and as shown in fig. 10b, a simplified top view of the rotary table 20 from another angle, the rotary table 20 is opened with a plurality of material inlets 22, such as the material inlet 222, the material inlet 221b, the material inlet 221c, the material inlet 221d, the material inlet 221e, and so on shown in fig. 10 b. The above-mentioned one compartment 21 can be inserted and combined with one material bottle 11, and when one material bottle 11 is inserted and combined with the corresponding compartment 21, the discharge hole 111 opened on the bottom of the material bottle 11 will be aligned with the charging hole 22 of the inserted compartment 21, so as to output the seasoning to the cooking container. The following related contents can be referred to for the related description of alignment, and the detailed description is omitted here.

FIGS. 9, 10a and 10b show the case that 5 material inlets are opened on the turntable 20, and FIG. 10b also shows the positional relationship of the material inlets; the position relationship of each feeding opening is determined based on a reference position, and the following relevant contents can be referred to for relevant description of the reference position. The numbers of the feed ports and the positional relationships of the feed ports shown in fig. 9, 10a, and 10b are merely illustrative, and the numbers of the feed ports and the positional relationships of the feed ports are not limited. In the embodiment of the present application, by arranging the turntable 20 into a plurality of partitioned chambers 21 in a partitioned manner, each material bottle 11 can be inserted into one of the partitioned chambers 21, so that a user can take out any one of the material bottles 11 as required. Meanwhile, the periphery of any material bottle 11 is in contact with the separation cavity 21, the limiting effect on a single material bottle 11 is better, and the material bottle 11 and the separation cavity 21 can be effectively prevented from loosening. The manner in which the carousel 20 is partitioned in the present embodiment is more flexible than the manner in which all of the ampoule assemblies 10 are inserted into one chamber. The insertion manner includes tight fit, that is, the material bottle 11 and the separating cavity 21 are in interference fit or transition fit, and the side surface of the material bottle 11 is in tight contact with the cavity wall of the separating cavity 21 to prevent the material bottle 11 and the separating cavity from separating. The bayonet-type arrangement also includes a clearance fit to facilitate removal of the bottle 11. In order to avoid the material bottle 11 and the rotary table 20 from being loosened in the clearance fit, a clamping structure is arranged between the material bottle 11 and the rotary table 20 for clamping. The insertion mode is favorable for the installation and the separation between the material bottle 11 and the rotating disc 20, and the material bottle 11 is convenient to take out. The insertion includes, but is not limited to, partial insertion of the material bottle 11 into the compartment 21, for example, the bottom of the material bottle 11 is inserted into the compartment 21, and the middle and top are exposed outside the compartment 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the material bottle 11 may be located entirely within the compartment 21. In order to improve the structural strength of the turntable 20, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, the wall of the compartment 21 is provided with at least one rib 23, and the rib 23 may extend from the bottom wall of the compartment 21 toward the opening of the compartment 21, so that the rib 23 prevents the material bottle 11 from pressing and deforming the compartment 21 when the material bottle 11 is inserted. Illustratively, one achievable matching mode of the material bottle 11 and the reinforcing ribs 23 is that the side wall of the material bottle 11 is in contact with the reinforcing ribs 23, when a plurality of reinforcing ribs 23 are arranged around the same separation cavity 21, the reinforcing ribs 23 separate the side wall of the material bottle 11 from the cavity wall of the separation cavity 21, and the side wall of the material bottle 11 is abutted against the reinforcing ribs 23, so that the contact area between the material bottle 11 and the cavity wall of the separation cavity 21 is reduced, friction and resistance between the material bottle 11 and the separation cavity 21 are reduced, and the material bottle 11 can be conveniently and rapidly inserted or taken out. In addition, the reinforcing ribs 23 can limit the rotation of the material bottle 11 relative to the rotating disc 20.

In some embodiments, another achievable matching manner of the material bottle 11 and the reinforcing rib 23 is that a slot is formed in a side wall of the material bottle 11, and the reinforcing rib 23 is inserted into the slot, so that the reinforcing rib 23 has an installation and positioning effect on the material bottle 11, the position deviation of the material bottle 11 is avoided, and the reinforcing rib 23 plays a role in limiting the rotation of the material bottle 11 relative to the turntable 20. Another way to realize the installation of the material bottle assembly 10 and the rotary disc 20 is to provide a buckle on the rotary disc 20, and the material bottle assembly 10 is provided with a clamping groove to be clamped with the buckle. Of course, in other embodiments, the material bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 may be fixed by magnetic attraction. To accomplish the seasoning delivery to the cooking vessel, in the embodiment of the present application, the turntable 20 is provided with a feeding port 22, and the discharge port 111 of the material bottle 11 is aligned with the feeding port 22 to deliver the seasoning to the cooking vessel. In this embodiment, the discharge port 111 is aligned with the feeding port 22, that is, the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 111 completely coincide or at least partially coincide along the discharging direction of the discharge port 111, so that the feeding port 22 can receive the seasoning flowing out from the discharge port 111. Taking the above-below direction as an example, the turntable 20 is disposed below the material bottle 11, the bottom of the material bottle 11 is inserted into the turntable 20, and the feeding port 22 is located right below the discharging port 111.

Referring to fig. 6 and 8b, in order to prevent the seasoning in the material bottle 11 from flowing out in a non-preset charging state, in some embodiments, a one-way valve 112 is disposed at the discharging port 111 of the material bottle 11 for opening or sealing the discharging port 111 to control the seasoning flowing out from the material bottle 11 and prevent the seasoning from flowing out randomly. The cooking device further comprises a material delivery pump, wherein the material delivery pump is used for providing power for supplying seasonings to the cooking container, and when the seasonings are required to be added into the cooking container, the material delivery pump is started to generate negative pressure so as to open the one-way valve 112, and then the seasonings can flow out. For a detailed description of the feed delivery pump, reference is made to the following description. Specifically, referring to fig. 6 and 8c, the valve body 1121 of the check valve 112 is fixed to the connecting ring rib 113 in a sealing manner; when the check valve 112 is in a static state, the valve core 1122 of the check valve 112 is in a sealed closed position relative to the valve body 1121, so that the discharge hole 111 is separated from the charging hole 22; under the action of a preset suction force (negative pressure provided by the feed delivery pump), the valve core 1122 of the one-way valve 112 moves to an open position relative to the valve body 1121, so that the discharge port 111 and the charging port 22 are communicated. The state of the check valve 112 at rest means that the valve element 1122 is in an initial state in a state of not receiving a suction force, the valve element 1122 includes a plunger 1122a and a spring 1122b connected to the plunger 1122a, and the spring 1122b is connected to the plunger 1122a and the valve body 1121, respectively. The valve core 1122 can be lowered to be in an open position under the action of suction force, so that the discharge port 111 is communicated with the charging port 22; when the valve core 1122 is not subjected to the suction force, the spring 1122b resets the plunger 1122a to be lifted, and the valve core 1122 is in a sealing closed position relative to the valve body 1121, so that the discharge port 111 and the charging port 22 are separated and shut off.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1a, 1b and 4, the loading unit 100 is able to rotate about an axis of rotation, in particular the carousel 20 of the loading unit 100 is able to rotate about an axis of rotation around which a plurality of compartments 21 are in turn distributed. In this embodiment, the pin assembly 10 is mounted in the turntable 20, so that the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 rotate synchronously. Referring to fig. 8a and 9 again, in some embodiments, the projections of the separation cavities 21 and the material bottles 11 on the plane are both fan-shaped, the plurality of separation cavities 21 are spliced to form a circle, the plurality of material bottles 11 are spliced to form a circle, the plurality of separation cavities 21 are matched with the plurality of material bottles 11 in a one-to-one correspondence manner, and the plurality of separation cavities 21 and the plurality of material bottles 1 are distributed in the circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center of circle. A plurality of feed openings 22 are also distributed in the circumferential direction around the axis of rotation, and each of the compartments 21 is provided with one feed opening 22, each feed opening 22 being located on the central axis of the bottom wall of the compartment 21. The material bottle 11 and the turntable 20 are made into a round shape, and the seasoning types are switched in a rotating mode, so that the volume can be effectively reduced, and more seasoning types can be placed in a limited kitchen space. In this embodiment, the rotation axis passes through the center of the turntable 20, and similarly, the rotation axis passes through the center of the spliced circular material bottle assemblies 10. In some embodiments, the height of the circular turntable 20 ranges from 10MM to 60MM, preferably 35MM, and the diameter of the circular turntable 20 ranges from 100MM to 300MM, preferably 156MM. To ensure that the material bottle 11 is stably inserted into the rotating disc 20, the height of the rotating disc is greater than or equal to one tenth of the height of the material bottle.

In some embodiments, the plurality of compartments 21 are provided in a plurality of zones, the plurality of compartments 21 includes a first compartment 21a, a second compartment 21b and a third compartment 21c, the first compartment 21a corresponds to a first volume of material bottles 11, the second compartment 21b corresponds to a second volume of material bottles 11, the third compartment 21c corresponds to a third volume of material bottles 11, the first compartment 21a has a larger volume than the second compartment 21b, the second compartment 21b has a larger volume than the third compartment 21c, and the three third compartments 21c have the same volume. The plurality of separation cavities 21 are distributed in the circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center, the sections of the plurality of separation cavities 21 are distributed in a fan shape, and the plurality of fan shapes form the circular turntable 20. The sector central angle of the first sub-compartment 21a ranges from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, preferably 135 degrees; the sector central angle of the second partitioned chamber 21b ranges from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, preferably 90 degrees; the sector central angle of the third partition chamber 21c ranges from 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and preferably 45 degrees; the sector center angle of the first compartment 21a is greater than the sector center angle of the second compartment 21b, the sector center angle of the second compartment 21b is greater than the sector center angle of the third compartment 21c, and the sector center angles of the three third compartments 21c are the same. For the pin assembly 10, the central angles of the cross-sections of at least two pins 11 are different so that the capacities of at least two pins 11 are different. The volume of the material bottle 11 corresponding to the common seasonings (such as clear water, edible oil and the like) can be larger than the volume of the material bottle 11 corresponding to the non-common seasonings (such as mature vinegar, cooking wine, light soy sauce and the like), so that the frequency of adding the seasonings by a user can be reduced. In order to facilitate the machining and forming of the turntable 20, in an embodiment, the turntable 20 includes a body 24 and a plurality of partition plates 25 integrally injection-molded with the body 24, the body 24 has an inner cavity, the plurality of partition plates 25 are located in the inner cavity and radially arranged, and a space formed by two adjacent partition plates 25 and a cavity wall of the inner cavity located between two adjacent partition plates 25 forms the partition cavity 21. The turntable 20 in this embodiment can be integrally injection molded by plastic materials, and can be molded into a relatively complex structure, which is simple to process and is convenient for mass production. Moreover, the partition plate 25 and the body 24 are integrally formed by injection molding, so that the subsequent assembly process is omitted, and the cost is saved. Meanwhile, the weight of the turntable 20 made of plastic material is light, and when the turntable 20 rotates, the load is small, so that smooth rotation of the turntable 20 is facilitated. In other embodiments, however, the turntable 20 may be made of other materials, such as metal. In addition, the partition plate 25 and the body 24 may also be in a split form, for example, a large cavity is formed in the body 24, a mounting post is arranged in the cavity, slots are arranged on the mounting post and the cavity wall of the cavity, and two sides of the partition plate 25 are respectively inserted into the slot on the mounting post and the slot on the cavity wall of the cavity.

Referring to fig. 3 and fig. 12 in combination, further, the cooking apparatus may further include a base 30, a blanking port 31 may be formed on the base 30, and the turntable 20 is rotatably connected to the base 30, so that the turntable 20 can rotate relative to the base 30 until the feeding port 22 of the turntable 20 is aligned with the blanking port 31 of the base 30, and further, the seasoning in the material bottle 11 can be output to the cooking container through the blanking port 31. As the turntable 20 rotates, the different filling openings 22 may pass through the blanking opening 31 in sequence, and during the process of adding seasoning, the corresponding material bottle 11 may be rotated to be aligned with the blanking opening 31, and the check valve 112 is opened, thereby adding the corresponding seasoning. It should be noted that, in order to realize that the discharge opening 111 of the material bottle 11 is closed in the non-preset charging state, the material bottle may be closed by other structures besides the one-way valve 112, for example, by the base 30 rotatably engaged with the rotating disc 20, and the design of the present invention is not limited in particular by those skilled in the art. Referring again to fig. 6, in order to prevent seasoning from leaking out of the junction between the inlet 22 and the outlet 111, which may result in mess of the feeding device, in some embodiments, the cooking apparatus may further include a sealing structure 71, and the sealing structure 71 is used for sealing the junction between the inlet 22 and the outlet 111. In some embodiments, the seal 71 includes, but is not limited to, a seal ring, a seal coating, a sealant, an elastomeric gel, and the like. Further, in order to prevent the sealing structure 71 from clogging the feed port 22 and the discharge port 111, the sealing structure 71 may have a ring shape, and the diameter of the ring shape is in the range of 5MM to 50MM, preferably 23MM. In some embodiments, the sealing structure 71 has elasticity, so as to improve the sealing effect and reduce the pressure of the material bottle 11 on the rotating disc. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the sealing structure 71 extends from the bottom wall of each compartment 21 to the inside of the compartment within the turntable to a height in the range of 4MM to 20MM, preferably 10MM, less than the height of the side wall of the compartment 21.

Specifically, the sealing structure 71 may be disposed on the rotary table 20 and located at the feeding opening 22, and in order to prevent the sealing structure 71 from being separated from the rotary table 20, in an embodiment, a sealing ring groove (not shown) is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71, and a sealing ring rib 26 is disposed on a hole wall of the feeding opening 22 and is in sealing fit with the sealing ring groove. In this embodiment, after the sealing ring rib 26 is matched with the sealing ring groove, the sealing structure 71 can be prevented from being separated from the vertical direction of the rotary table 20, meanwhile, the sealing structure 71 is ensured to be tightly attached to the hole wall of the feed inlet 22 on the rotary table 20, and the seasoning is prevented from seeping out from the joint of the sealing structure 71 and the rotary table 20. In addition, the sealing ring groove refers to an annular groove, and the sealing ring rib 26 is a raised structure which is annular along the circumferential direction of the charging port 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing ring groove can be directly matched with the entire hole wall of the feeding opening 22 of the rotary disk 20 in a sealing manner, i.e. the entire hole edge of the feeding opening 22 is wrapped by the sealing ring groove.

As shown in fig. 6, in an embodiment, a connecting ring rib 113 is disposed on a side of the bottom of the material bottle 11 facing the rotating disc 20, and the connecting ring rib 113 is disposed around the material outlet 111; when the material bottle 11 is mounted on the turntable 20, the connection ring rib 113 is inserted into the material inlet 22. Design link ring muscle 113 and feed inlet 22 at feed flask 11 bottom and insert and close, can effectively improve the accurate nature of counterpointing of discharge gate 111 on the feed flask 11 and the feed inlet 22 on the carousel 20. Specifically, the connecting ring rib 113 is inserted into the sealing structure 71, that is, the sealing structure 71 is hermetically sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the connecting ring rib 113, so as to align the feeding port 22 with the discharging port 111, thereby preventing the seasoning from seeping out from the joint of the connecting ring rib 113 and the sealing structure 71, and ensuring the sealing alignment between the discharging port 111 and the feeding port 22.

Further, in order to improve the sealing effect between the sealing structure 71 and the connecting ring rib 113, in an embodiment, at least one circle of sealing lip 711 is protruded on the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71, and the sealing structure 71 is in sealing contact with the connecting ring rib 113 through the sealing lip 711. The sealing lip 711 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71, and is inclined along the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 711 by a predetermined angle, and the inclined direction of the sealing lip forms an included angle with the rotation axis within the range of 60 degrees to 90 degrees, preferably 80 degrees; particularly, the material bottle extends towards the direction of the feed inlet 22, so that the sealing performance between the sealing structure 71 and the connecting ring rib 113 is improved, and the smoothness of the material bottle 11 inserted into the rotary table 20 is not influenced; in a preferred embodiment, the sealing lip 711 has two rings, and the two rings of the sealing lip 711 have the same inclination angle, and preferably have an angle range of 30 to 60 degrees with the rotation axis. Through at least one circle of seal lip 711 that sets up at seal structure 71's inner peripheral surface, because the deformation of seal lip 711 is more nimble, when contacting with the connecting ring muscle 113, can better adapt to the structure of connecting ring muscle 113 itself, makes corresponding deformation, and the laminating better realizes better sealed effect on connecting ring muscle 113. Optionally, the cross section of the sealing lip 711 is gradually reduced in the protruding direction thereof, which is equivalent to that one end of the sealing lip 711 contacting with the connecting ring rib 113 is a small end, and one end of the sealing lip 711 connected with the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71 is a large end, so that when the sealing lip is extruded by the connecting ring rib 113, the small end of the sealing lip 711 can be more flexibly deformed to better adapt to the extrusion, and thus the sealing lip is tightly attached to the connecting ring rib 113. Optionally, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71 is provided with a plurality of sealing lips 711, and each sealing lip 711 is in sealing contact with the connecting ring rib 113 to realize multiple sealing.

Further, with continued reference to fig. 4 and fig. 6, an end of the sealing structure 71 connected to the material bottle 11 may be funnel-shaped, and along the direction of the base 30, an opening of the sealing structure 71 is gradually reduced to form the funnel-shaped, so that an opening is formed at the inserted end of the material bottle 11 of the sealing structure 71, when the connecting ring rib 113 of the material bottle 11 is inserted into the sealing structure 71, the connecting ring rib 113 is inserted into the sealing structure 71 along the opening, and an inclined inner wall of the opening guides and seals the connecting ring rib 113, thereby facilitating insertion and detachment of the material bottle 71. In this embodiment, the upper end sealing sleeve of the sealing structure 71 is arranged at the discharge port 111 of the material bottle 11, and the lower end of the sealing structure 71 is sealed and internally attached to the hole wall of the charging port 22 of the turntable 20, so that the sealing connection between the discharge port 111 and the charging port 22 is realized, and the seasoning is prevented from leaking from the connection between the discharge port 111 and the charging port 22. Referring to fig. 3, 4, 5, 9 and 11 in combination, after seasoning flows out from the feeding port 22 of the feeding unit 100 (in some embodiments, the feeding port 22 of the feeding unit 100 refers to the feeding port 22 of the turntable 20), the seasoning needs to be conveyed to the cooking container through the material conveying pipe 81, in order to avoid seasoning from accumulating below the feeding port 22 and adhering to the bottom surface of the turntable 20, thereby causing mixing and tainting. In some embodiments, the cooking apparatus may further include a buffer structure 60, the buffer structure 60 has a buffer chamber 63, the buffer chamber 63 has an opening, and a communication port 64 is opened on a bottom wall of the buffer chamber 63 for adding seasoning into the cooking container. The charging unit 100 comprises a material bottle assembly 10 and a rotating disc 20, wherein the material bottle assembly 10 is inserted and combined on the rotating disc 20, and the material bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60 to align or dislocate the charging opening 22 with the opening of the buffer cavity 63. When aligned, the seasoning in the loading unit 100 may flow through the loading port 22 to the buffer chamber 63, and then to the cooking vessel through the buffer chamber 63. When the position is staggered, the feed opening 22 is closed, and the flavoring cannot flow out. In the embodiment of the present application, the seasoning flowing out from the material bottle assembly 10 flows into the buffer cavity 63 first, and then enters the cooking container, the buffer cavity 63 can make the seasoning flow out from the material bottle assembly 10 and then have a temporary storage place, so as to prevent the seasoning from filling the pipeline and being stuck on the bottom surface of the material bottle assembly 10 or the turntable 20 to cause the material mixing, thereby affecting the taste of the food material in the cooking container. The pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are movable relative to the buffer structure 60, wherein in one achievable manner the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are moved and the buffer structure 60 is fixed in position. Alternatively, the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are fixed in position and the buffer structure 60 is moved. In yet another embodiment, the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 move, and the buffer structure 60 moves, relative to each other. In addition, the movement includes, but is not limited to, rotation about a rotational axis, linear movement, and the like.

Since the turntable 20 has a plurality of feeding ports 22, the plurality of feeding ports 22 can be unevenly distributed in the circumferential direction centering on the rotation axis, each feeding port 22 can independently provide different seasonings, that is, the turntable 20 can provide a plurality of seasonings, in order to further avoid the occurrence of a mixing situation, for example, oil-water mixing, in one embodiment, the buffer structure 60 comprises two buffer chambers 63, the plurality of feeding ports 22 of the turntable 20 comprises a first feeding port 221 and a second feeding port 222, and the turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60 to switch between a plurality of feeding positions, as shown in fig. 15, in at least one of which the first feeding port 221 is aligned with the opening of one of the buffer chambers 63, as shown in fig. 17, and in at least another of which the second feeding port 222 is aligned with the opening of another one of the buffer chambers 63. In practical applications, the seasoning tends to adhere to the bottom wall of the buffer chamber 63, for example, the seasoning in liquid form such as light soy sauce, cooking oil, etc., and more or less remains in the buffer chamber 63, which remains to be mixed with the next seasoning when the next seasoning is added to the cooking vessel. With some flavorings, there is a risk that the oil mixes with the water in the light soy sauce, for example, causing splashing or frying when added to a hot cooking vessel. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, two buffer chambers 63 are provided, so that the first filling opening 221 and the second filling opening 222 output seasonings to the cooking container through different buffer chambers 63, and thus, the seasonings flowing out from the first filling opening 221 and the seasonings flowing out from the second filling opening 222 are completely independent, and the seasonings are prevented from being mixed together.

As shown in fig. 5 and 11, in order to better enable the seasoning to fall into the buffer chamber 63 and to intensively flow out of the buffer chamber 63, in one embodiment, the communication port 64 of the buffer chamber 63 may be opened opposite to the opening of the buffer chamber 63, and the buffer chamber 63 is gradually enlarged from the communication port 64 to the opening direction. Taking the up-down direction as an example, the opening of the buffer chamber 63 faces upward, and the communication port 64 is located at the bottom of the buffer chamber 63. The buffer chamber 63 is formed in a conical shape, and the inner diameter thereof gradually decreases from the flowing direction of the material, so that the upper end is convenient for receiving the seasoning flowing out from the first feeding port 221 or the second feeding port 222, and the lower end is convenient for the seasoning to flow out from the communicating port 64 to the cooking container in a concentrated manner. To facilitate the integral installation of the buffer structure 60, in some embodiments, the buffer structure 60 may have a connecting plate 61 and two buffer portions 62 connected thereto, each buffer portion 62 having a buffer cavity 63 and a communication opening 64. The two buffer chambers 63 are distributed in a circumferential direction around the rotation axis, and the two buffer chambers 63 are spaced apart by a predetermined circumferential angle in a range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, preferably 45 degrees. By connecting the two buffer portions 62 to one connecting plate 61 in a concentrated manner, it is not necessary to individually position and mount each buffer portion 62 during mounting, and only one of the buffer portions 62 or the connecting plate 61 needs to be aligned accurately, so that alignment of the other buffer portion 62 can be achieved. Meanwhile, the two buffer parts 62 form a whole in the transportation process, and the risk of scattering due to too small parts is reduced.

Referring to fig. 11 to 13, in some embodiments, the buffer structure 60 is mounted on the base 30. In one implementation, the base 30 has a mounting cavity 32 formed on an upper surface thereof, and the buffer structure 60 can be engaged with the mounting cavity 32. Specifically, the mounting cavity 32 includes a sinking groove 321 and a relief opening 322 opened at the bottom of the sinking groove 321, the connecting plate 61 of the buffer structure 60 can be embedded in the sinking groove 321, and the buffer part 62 of the buffer structure 60 can extend into the relief opening 322. When two buffering portions 62 are provided, two relief openings 322 are correspondingly provided on the base 30. In this embodiment, the buffer structure 60 and the mounting cavity 32 are embedded to facilitate positioning and mounting of the buffer structure 60, and further, the buffer structure 60 is prevented from being damaged by collision with other components due to being protruded out of the base 30. When the buffer structure 60 is provided, the buffer chamber 63 forms the blanking opening 31 of the base 30. When the buffering structure 60 is not provided, a hole can be directly formed on the base 30 to form the blanking port 31. FIG. 12b is a simplified top view corresponding to FIG. 12a, showing the base 30 having two feed openings 31 (i.e., feed opening 311, feed opening 312); in one embodiment, referring to fig. 11, the drop port 311 may be formed by the buffer cavity 632, and the drop port 312 may be formed by the buffer cavity 631. Referring to fig. 3 and 5, the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60, and the buffer structure 60 is fixed in position by moving the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20, or the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are fixed and the buffer structure 60 moves. The movement mode includes but is not limited to rotation and linear movement. Specifically, in one embodiment, the vial assembly 10 and the carousel 20 are rotatably coupled to the base 30 to switch between a plurality of loading positions (fig. 15 and 17 show the carousel 20 of the loading unit 100 in the loading position) by circular rotation.

Further, the cooking device further comprises a material conveying pipeline 81, the blanking port 31 of the base 30 is used for being communicated with the cooking container through the material conveying pipeline 81, and the material conveying pipeline 81 is used for conveying the seasonings flowing out of the blanking port 31 to the cooking container. In order to further improve the mixing of the two different seasoning materials during the two feeding processes, the feeding pipe 81 may be used to feed at least two different seasoning materials, and in some embodiments, an emptying position 122 (as shown in fig. 10 b) is further designed to switch the material bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 between the feeding position and the emptying position with respect to the base 30. To enable the flask assembly 10 and the turntable 20 to be switched between a charging position and an emptying position relative to the base 30. In some possible embodiments, the turntable 20 is rotatably disposed on the base 30, and the material inlet 22 and the material outlet 31 can be switched between an aligned state and a misaligned state during the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30. When the turntable 20 is at the charging position, the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 are in an aligned state. When the turntable 20 is in the emptying position, the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are in a staggered state. In some embodiments, the diameter of the delivery conduit 81 is in the range of 2MM to 10MM, preferably 7.5MM, to ensure smooth flow of the liquid seasoning mixture to the cooking vessel. The feeding unit 100 is in an assembly state, the material bottle 11 is inserted into the rotary table 20, the rotary table 20 for loading the material bottle 11 is rotatably connected above the base 30, a preset gap is formed between the base 30 and the rotary table 20 (or the feeding unit 100), and the blanking port 31 and the preset gap can be communicated to form a cleaning channel when the feeding port 22 and the blanking port 31 are in a dislocation state. The blanking port 31 is communicated with the preset gap, which means that a medium assisting in cleaning in the preset gap can be conveyed into the blanking port 31, and the residual seasonings in the blanking port 31 and the material conveying pipeline 81 connected with the blanking port 31 are guided into the cooking container under the action of the cleaning medium, so that the phenomenon that the seasonings fed last time are mixed with the seasonings fed next time in the material conveying pipeline 81 to cause material mixing is avoided. In addition, emptying operation is performed on the blanking port 31 and the conveying pipeline 81 after feeding, so that the probability that bacteria are bred and even mildewed due to too long retention time of the seasonings in the blanking port 31 and/or the conveying pipeline 81 can be reduced. Moreover, the emptying operation is carried out after the primary feeding is carried out each time, so that the secondary discharging of the seasonings can be realized, and the seasonings with the preset amount can be accurately thrown into the cooking container.

Compared with the way of providing through holes on the turntable 20 to make cleaning channels, the design of the through holes destroys the integrity of the turntable 20, and the cleaning of the through holes is troublesome. Form clean passageway through setting up the clearance of predetermineeing on base 30 and carousel 20, need not trompil on carousel 20, the shaping is got up comparatively simply to, also do not have the through-hole that needs the clearance, effectively reduced user's use and maintenance degree of difficulty. A material conveying pipeline 80 is arranged between the main body 2000 and the feeding device 1000, and seasonings can be conveyed to the cooking container through the material conveying pipeline 80; the cleaning channel is in communication with the delivery conduit 80. Therefore, when emptying operation is carried out, residual seasoning in the conveying pipeline 80 can be discharged to the greatest extent, reliable feeding at every time is further guaranteed, and the problem of inaccurate feeding caused by residual seasoning in a conveying channel is not easy to happen.

To achieve the predetermined gap between the turntable 20 and the base 30, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 10a, a protrusion 22a may be provided on the turntable 20 toward a side of the base 30 and around the filling opening 22, the protrusion 22a surrounding the filling opening 22. Since the protrusion height of the protrusion 22a with respect to the turntable 20 is h, a predetermined gap exists between the base 30 and the turntable 20. In some embodiments, the height h ranges from 0.5MM to 10MM, preferably 3MM. A sealing member 65 is provided at the blanking opening 31 on a side facing the charging unit 100, the sealing member 65 surrounds the blanking opening 31, and the sealing member 31 is configured to be in pressing contact with the projection 22a so as to enable the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 to be in sealing abutment. When the charging opening 22 is aligned with the blanking opening 31, the protrusion 22a and the sealing member 65 can form a seal, and the two can be tightly pressed, so that the medium such as external air can not enter the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31, and in this state, the discharging opening 111 can be opened to communicate with the blanking opening 31 through the charging opening 22 to form a passage for conveying the seasoning. When the feeding is finished, the control system can control the turntable 20 to rotate to a preset angle relative to the base 30; after rotating the preset angle, the feeding port 22 and the blanking port 31 are dislocated from each other, the blanking port 31 is opposite to the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, and a preset gap exists between the blanking port 31 and the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, so that the cleaning medium in the preset gap can enter the blanking port 31. It should be noted that, the protrusion 22a may include a hard protrusion and may further include an elastic protrusion, and the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited, and when the protrusion 22a includes the elastic protrusion, the protrusion 22a may be elastically aligned with the blanking opening 31, so as to improve the sealing performance when the feeding opening 22 is aligned with the blanking opening 31, and prevent the seasoning from leaking from the alignment surface of the feeding opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 during the feeding process.

As shown in fig. 10a, the material feeding port 22 may exemplarily include a plurality of material feeding ports, one protrusion 22a is provided for each material feeding port 22, and the plurality of protrusions 22a are unevenly distributed in a circumferential direction centered on the rotation axis of the rotating disk 20. For example, the shape of the protrusion 22a corresponding to each charging opening 22 may be the same, or the shape of one portion of the protrusion 22a is the same, and the shape of the other portion of the protrusion 22a is different, where the protrusions 22a of the same shape are used for aligning with one blanking opening 31, and the protrusions 22a of another shape are used for aligning with the other blanking opening 31. Specifically, the shape of the convex portion 22a corresponding to the feed port 22 for feeding the edible oil may be different from the shape of the convex portion 22a corresponding to the other feed port 22, and for example, the diameter of the convex portion 22a corresponding to the feed port 22 for feeding the edible oil may be larger than the diameter of the convex portion 22a corresponding to the other feed port 22. The plurality of projections 22a are distributed in a circumferential direction around the rotation axis of the turntable 20, so that the blanking opening 31 can be sequentially aligned with the projections 22a during the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30. The surface of the bottom of the turntable 20 facing the base 30 is provided with a protrusion 22a, and the protrusion 22a extends from the outer surface plane of the bottom of the turntable 20 to the base 30 by a predetermined height, and the height is in the range of 0.5MM to 10MM, preferably 3MM. Therefore, a predetermined gap is formed between the turntable 20 and the base 30 by a space between any two of the protrusions 22 a. A predetermined gap is formed between the region between the adjacent two protrusions 22a and the base 30. As shown in FIG. 10a, five material inlets 22 are corresponding to five protrusions 22a, wherein three material inlets 22 are closer and the other two material inlets 22 are farther. The gaps between the corresponding bulges 22a of the three feeding ports 22 which are relatively close to each other are slightly smaller, so that when the feeding device is controlled to perform emptying operation, the system can accurately sense the rotating angle of the turntable 20, and when the turntable 20 rotates to the position where one blanking port 31 is opposite to the gap between the two bulges 22a which are relatively close to each other, the feeding device is controlled to perform emptying operation. The area between the protruding portions 22a corresponding to the two feeding ports 22 with longer distances is larger, and when the area between the two protruding portions 22a with longer distances is opposite to a blanking port 31, the system can control the feeding device to perform emptying operation, or when the blanking port 31 is located at a preset position of the area between the two protruding portions 22a with longer distances, the system can control the feeding device to perform emptying operation, so that the control is more accurate.

In some embodiments, the protrusion 22a may include an elastic sealing ring, which may be in the shape of a ring, and the elastic sealing ring is embedded in the inner wall of the material inlet 22 for elastically pressing and contacting with the material outlet 31, so as to enable the material inlet 22 and the material outlet 31 to be aligned in a sealing manner. The protrusion 22a may be formed of only an elastic seal ring, or the protrusion 22a may include a hard protrusion and an elastic seal ring embedded in the hard protrusion. Through the setting of elasticity sealing washer for charge door 22 can elastic seal contact with blanking member 31, thereby, further reduced the risk that outside medium got into defeated material passageway from the clearance between charge door 22 and the blanking mouth 31, also reduced the risk that condiment leaked from the clearance between charge door 22 and the blanking mouth 31. Specifically, referring to fig. 11, a sealing member 65 is disposed at a side of the blanking opening 31 facing the rotating disc 20, the sealing member 65 surrounds the blanking opening 31, and the sealing member 65 is configured to be in pressing contact with the elastic sealing ring of the protrusion 22a, so as to enable the material loading opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 to be aligned in a sealing manner. In the installed state, the sealing member 65 may protrude from a side surface of the base 30 facing the turntable 20, and in some embodiments, the sealing member 65 may be the sealing member 65 described in the above embodiments, that is, the buffering structure 60 is disposed at the material dropping opening 31, and the sealing member 65 is fixed on the buffering structure 60, and the specific implementation manner may refer to the description of the buffering structure 60 and the sealing member 65 in the above embodiments. In other embodiments, the sealing member 65 may be directly fixed on the surface of the base 30 facing the rotating disc 20, for example, an annular groove is formed at the edge of the blanking opening 31 of the base 30, the sealing member 65 is clamped in the annular groove, or the sealing member 65 is directly adhered to the periphery of the blanking opening 31. The elastic sealing ring at the bulge part 22a is in sealing alignment with the sealing member 65 at the blanking opening 31, so that the sealing between the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 is more reliable. The technical scheme that above-mentioned embodiment provided, because there is the clearance of predetermineeing, make charge door 22 and blanking mouth 31 just in close contact with under the counterpoint state, and under dislocation state, be clearance fit between carousel 20 and the base 30, on the one hand, can prevent that the elastic sealing ring of charge door 22 and the sealing member 65 of blanking mouth 31 from being in under the extrusion deformation's state for a long time, and shorten the life of elastic sealing ring and sealing member 65 greatly, on the other hand says, utilize the clearance to form clean passageway, avoid additionally trompil to form clean passageway on carousel 20, make and make more simply, structural design is more reasonable.

The projection 22a includes a top plane 22a1 contacting with the sealing member 65, and the sealing member 65 is in press contact with the top plane 22a1 in a state where the charging port 22 is aligned with the discharging port 31. The top plane 22a1 may be parallel to a surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30. By designing a top plane 22a1 and the sealing member 65, the sealing member 65 can be accurately and reliably aligned with the protruding portion 22 a. And when the turntable 20 rotates relative to the base 30, the sealing element 65 transversely slides across the top plane 22a1, so that the frictional resistance between the top plane 22a1 and the sealing element 65 is small, and the sealing element 65 can be ensured to be aligned with the protrusion 22a in a sealing manner, and the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the base 30 is not influenced. More specifically, referring to fig. 10a, the protrusion 22a may be in a horn shape, and the horn-shaped boss 22a may include an annular inner hole portion S1 and an annular outer expanding portion S2 surrounding the inner hole portion S1, the inner hole portion S1 is located inside the top plane 22a1, and the outer hole portion S2 is located outside the top plane 22a 1; the inner hole part S1 extends into the charging opening 22 and is connected with the inner side wall of the charging opening 22; the flaring portion S2 extends from the top plane 22a1 to be attached to the surface of the rotating disc 20 facing the base 30, and the protruding height of the flaring portion S2 gradually decreases along the radial outward direction of the feeding opening 22. In some embodiments, the inner bore portion S1 is configured as a resilient sealing ring of the protrusion 22a, and may be adhered to the inner sidewall of the filling opening 22, or snapped into the filling opening 22. The gradually decreasing protrusion height of the flaring portion S2 means that the protrusion height of the end of the flaring portion S2 close to the top plane 22a1 is the highest to form the highest protrusion position, the end of the flaring portion S2 far away from the inner hole portion S2 is attached to the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, and the protrusion height of the attachment position is zero. The bulge 22a is flared, which means that the flared portion S2 extends from the top plane 22a1 to the outer surface of the bottom of the turntable 20, and the annular radius of the cross section thereof gradually increases. The entire protrusion 22a may be in the shape of a smooth trumpet, so that during the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the base 30, the protrusion 22a smoothly transitions with the seal 65 on the base 30, and the protrusion 22a has a small resistance to the rotation of the base 30.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10a, the flaring portion S2 can include a plurality of coaxially arranged annular connecting portions S21, and the plurality of annular connecting portions S21 are connected and arranged in a step shape along the charging opening 22 in a radial direction. The annular connecting portions S21 are connected in sequence to form a corrugated shape, and after the protruding portion 22a is aligned with the sealing member 65, since the outer expanding portion S2 is corrugated, the outer expanding portion S2 can axially compress the sealing member 65 according to a deformation direction defined by the corrugations, and is not prone to tilt or deflect in a radial direction, thereby ensuring reliable alignment of the protruding portion 22a and the sealing member 65 at a predetermined position.

The embodiment of this application still provides a feeding device, includes: base 30, material bottle subassembly 10, carousel 20. The base 30 is provided with a blanking port 31, the blanking port 31 is communicated with the cooking container through a material conveying pipeline 81, and the material bottle assembly 10 is used for accommodating seasonings; the rotary table 20 is used for carrying the material bottle assembly 10, the rotary table 20 is rotatably arranged on the base 30, and the rotary table 20 comprises a feeding port 22 for outputting seasonings; during the rotation process of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30, the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 can be switched between an alignment state and a dislocation state; the base 30 and the turntable 20 have a predetermined gap therebetween, which is in the range of 1MM to 10MM, preferably 4.5MM. When the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are in the aligned state, the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are aligned. When the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are in a misaligned state, the blanking opening 31 and the predetermined gap can be communicated to form a cleaning channel. In order to visually reveal the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30, the loading port 22 is switched between the alignment state and the misalignment state, as shown in fig. 19a to 19e, and a plurality of blanking ports 31 provided on the base 30 are schematically illustrated on the basis of the top view of the bottom surface of the turntable 20 shown in fig. 10 b. In the figure, when any one of a plurality of first curves "- - -" drawn for visually representing the positional relationship of the plurality of charging openings 22 (or the positional relationship of the emptying position 122) on the discharge turntable 20 coincides with any one of a plurality of second curves "- - - - - - - -" drawn for representing the positional relationship of the plurality of blanking openings 31, it indicates that the charging opening 22 (or the emptying position 122) indicated by the first curve in the coinciding curves is aligned with the blanking opening 31 indicated by the second curve, that is, the charging opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are in an aligned state (or a misaligned state). For example, referring to FIG. 19b, the situation where the first curve l1 and the second curve l2 are shown to coincide can indicate that the material inlet 222 on the turntable is aligned with the material outlet 312 on the base; in fig. 19b, the first curve l1 and the second curve l2 are slightly shifted from each other, so as to facilitate the indication of the first curve l1 and the second curve l2. For a description of the emptying position, reference is made to the following.

In fig. 19a to 19e, fig. 19b and 19d show the rotating disc inserted with a plurality of material bottles 11 in the charging position, wherein fig. 19b shows the charging opening 222 aligned with the blanking opening 312, that is, the charging opening 222 is aligned with the blanking opening 312; FIG. 19d shows the situation where the feed opening 221c is aligned with the drop opening 311. Fig. 19c and 19e show the state where the turntable with a plurality of flasks 11 inserted therein is in the emptying position, specifically, fig. 19c shows the state where the charging port 222 and the blanking port 312 are misaligned, and fig. 19e shows the state where the charging port 221c and the blanking port 311 are misaligned. With respect to fig. 19a, it is shown a situation where the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position. The turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position in this embodiment, so as to facilitate the subsequent control of the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30, so as to switch between the alignment state and the dislocation state between the feeding port 22 and the blanking port 31, thereby implementing the automatic feeding function. In specific implementation, the reference position may refer to the origin positions of the turntable 20 and the base 30, and the positional relationship of the plurality of blanking ports 31 shown in fig. 12b and the positional relationship of the plurality of material loading ports 22 on the turntable shown in fig. 10b are all arranged based on the origin positions. The turntable 20 is first positioned to a reference position each time the loading unit 10 is activated to perform an automatic loading function for a dish to be cooked. After the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position, the turntable 20 is controlled to rotate according to the supported rotation direction, and the charging opening communicated with at least one material bottle 11 is sequentially rotated to the corresponding position of the blanking opening 31, so that the automatic charging function is realized.

Here, considering that the user often installs the turntable 20 at random angles when assembling the charging device, there are cases where the turntable is in a non-set reference position, which will not utilize the implementation of the automatic charging function; or, when an automatic feeding task is executed, a program operation error occurs and needs to be reset to a reference position, and the like, which all require that the feeding device has a function of automatically positioning the turntable to the reference position. In order to achieve the function of positioning the turntable 20 to the reference position, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10b and 12b, a trigger 123 and correspondingly a sensing element 39 may be further disposed on the base 30. The triggering element 123 and the sensing element 39 are components that can trigger or cooperate with each other to generate a sensing signal, and the sensing signal varies according to the relative position between the triggering element 123 and the sensing element 39. The triggering member 123 is disposed on the turntable 20, and the turntable 20 rotates relative to the base 30, so that the relative position change between the triggering member 123 and the sensing member 39 is mainly caused by the rotation of the triggering member 123 with the rotation of the turntable 20. Of course, in other embodiments, in the case that the base 30 can rotate relative to the turntable 20, the relative position change between the triggering member 123 and the sensing member 39 can also be caused by the rotation of the sensing member with the base, and the like, which is not limited herein.

In a specific arrangement, the position of the sensing member 39 on the base 30 and the position of the triggering member 123 on the turntable 20 are both related to the reference position. For example, the position of the sensor 39 may be a reference position, or a position at an angle from the reference position, and the positional relationship is set; similarly, the setting position of the trigger 123 may also be a reference position, or a position with a certain angle or distance from the reference position, and the positional relationship is also set; thus, based on the set position relationship between the sensing element and the triggering element relative to the reference position, the turntable can be positioned at the reference position by the sensing signal between the sensing element 39 and the triggering element 123. For example, assuming that the sensing element 39 and the triggering element 123 shown in fig. 10b and 12b are both set at the reference positions, in the process of controlling the turntable 20 to rotate relative to the base 30 to position the turntable 20 at the reference positions, the turntable 20 can be controlled to stop rotating when the sensing signal between the sensing element 39 and the triggering element 123 is detected to be strongest, so as to position the turntable 20 at the reference positions; when the triggering member 123 is rotated to be aligned with the sensing member 112, that is, the triggering member 123 is rotated to be aligned with the first blanking opening 311, the sensing signal between the triggering member 123 and the sensing member 112 is the strongest.

The second feeding opening 212 is provided with a second one-way valve, and when the second material delivery pump 842 is started, the second one-way valve can be sucked open, so that the second feeding opening is communicated with the second blanking opening 312. In this embodiment, the first check valve and the second check valve may have the same structure, as shown in fig. 6, the check valve has an elastic plunger, and under normal conditions, the elastic plunger abuts against the charging opening with the acting force of the spring force to seal the charging opening, and when the feed delivery pump is started, the spring plunger is sucked open by the suction force generated by the feed delivery pump, so as to communicate the charging opening with the blanking opening. The manner in which the first one-way valve is sucked open by the first delivery pump 841 may be the same as the manner in which the second one-way valve is sucked open by the second delivery pump 842.

Further, the base 30 is further provided with a driving member 83 (as shown in fig. 7 a), and the driving member 83 is drivingly connected to the charging unit 100 to drive the charging unit 100 to rotate relative to the base 30. Specifically, the feeding unit 100 includes a material bottle assembly 10 and a rotating disc 20, and the driving member 83 is in driving connection with the rotating disc 20 to drive the rotating disc 20 and the material bottle assembly 10 disposed on the rotating disc 20 to rotate, so as to switch the alignment or dislocation between the discharge hole 111 on the material bottle assembly 10 and the discharge hole 31 on the base 30. When a plurality of material bottles 11 are arranged, the driving member 83 is used to drive the turntable 20 and the material bottle assembly 10 to rotate so as to switch different material inlets 22 to be aligned with the material dropping opening 31. The drive member 83 may comprise a motor having an output shaft rotatably connected to the turntable 20. Referring to fig. 9, 10a and 12a, the turntable 20 is located above the driving member 83, and one way of connecting the driving member 83 and the turntable 20 is that the driving member 83 includes an output shaft (not shown), a gear 831 is disposed on the output shaft, and a saw tooth engaged with the gear 831 is disposed on the turntable 20. Specifically, a receiving groove 272 is formed on a side of the rotary plate 20 facing the output shaft, a groove wall of the receiving groove 272 is serrated to engage with the gear 831, and the rotary plate 20 engages with the driving member 83 through the receiving groove 272. Alternatively, a separate internal gear is installed in the receiving groove 272 to be engaged with the gear 831 on the output shaft.

Further, the outer surface of the receiving groove 272 forms at least a portion of the separation chamber 21, and the outer surface of the receiving groove 272 is provided with a fool-proof structure 273, and the fool-proof structure 273 includes a convex portion 274 and a concave portion 275. Alternatively, the protrusions 274 and the recesses 275 are distributed in two different compartments 21. In one embodiment, the protrusions 274 are disposed in the first compartment 21 and the depressions 275 are disposed in the second compartment 21, and the first compartment 21 has a larger volume than the second compartment 21. Wherein the projection 274 means an inward projection so that the space of the partitioned chamber 21 is reduced. Correspondingly, the recess 275 is recessed outwardly so that the space of the compartment 21 is increased. In addition, the center of the receiving groove 272 is located on the rotation axis of the turntable 20. Further, the center of the containing groove 272 is located on the overall central axis of the turntable 20. Thus, the output shaft of the driving member 83 is connected to the center of the turntable 20, and the turntable 20 is stressed uniformly, so that the turntable 20 can rotate more stably.

Another way to connect the driving member 83 to the rotary plate 20 is to provide a socket on the rotary plate 20, and to provide a plug to pass through the rotary plate 20 and the output shaft to prevent the rotary plate 20 from separating from the output shaft of the driving member 83. Another connection mode of the driving member 83 and the rotary table 20 is that an output shaft of the driving member 83 is a spline, and a matching hole inserted into the spline is correspondingly arranged on the rotary table 20. Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 7a, in an embodiment, the driving member 83 is mounted on the base 30, and in order to prevent the driving member 83 from being exposed outside, the driving member 83 is mounted inside the base 30. Alternatively, the driving member 83 is located at the center of the base 30, and the output shaft of the driving member 83 is drivingly connected to the middle of the turntable 20, i.e. the rotation axis of the turntable 20 passes through the central axis of the base 30.

As shown in fig. 7a and 7b, the first feed pump 841, the driving member 83, and the second feed pump 842 may be arranged in the radial direction of the base 30. Specifically, the included angle between the three of the first material conveying pump 841, the driving member 83 and the second material conveying pump 842 in the plane can be approximately 180 degrees, or the angle between the three is 180 degrees +/-5 degrees, because the three is arranged along the radial direction of the base 30, thereby the space occupation in the up-down direction is reduced, the height of the base 30 is reduced, and the driving member 83 can be symmetrically arranged on two sides of the first material conveying pump 841 and the second material conveying pump 842, so that the weight of two sides of the base 30 is equal as much as possible, and the stress is balanced as much as possible. Therefore, in the process that the driving element 83 drives the turntable 20 to rotate, the phenomenon that the base 30 shakes to generate abnormal sound due to uneven weight distribution on the two sides of the base 30 is avoided or improved.

Other embodiments of the present application further provide a feeding assembly, wherein the feeding assembly 80 is used to connect the first body and the second body.

The pin assembly 10 is at least partially located within the internal cavity, the pin assembly 10 being mounted to the turntable 20. By the vial assembly 10 being at least partially located within the internal cavity, it is meant that the vial assembly 10 may be partially exposed outside the internal cavity, e.g. the top of the vial assembly 10 may extend from the outer tub 40. Of course, the entire bottle assembly 10 may be located within the internal cavity. In the embodiment of the present application, the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 jointly enclose the turntable 20 and the material bottle assembly 10, and when the driving element 83 drives the turntable 20 and the material bottle assembly 10 to rotate, the turntable 20 and the material bottle assembly 10 rotate relative to the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50. A plurality of material bottle assemblies 10 and the rotary table 20 can be wrapped by the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50, so that mutual interference between external objects and rotating components is avoided, and meanwhile, the space enclosed by the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 plays a role in protecting the rotating components. The whole structure is equivalent to forming an inner layer structure and an outer layer structure, the inner layer structure is distributed up and down, the outer layer structure is also distributed up and down, the inner layer is the material bottle assembly 10, the rotary table 20 and the driving piece 83 which are distributed up and down, the outer layer is the outer barrel 40, the middle barrel 50 and the base 30 which are distributed up and down, the whole structure is compact, and the layout is reasonable.

In practical applications, in a specific application scenario, such as the cooking application scenario shown in fig. 1a, a digital recipe is preset in the main body 2000 or a terminal device (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc., not shown in the figure) in communication with the main body 2000, so that a user can select the digital recipe of dishes to be cooked. For example, a digital menu is preset in the main body 2000 shown in fig. 1a, and a user may trigger a corresponding operation for the digital menu through an interactive interface provided by the main body 2000 to select a digital menu of dishes to be cooked; wherein the interactive interface may be provided on the base 22 of the cooking apparatus; or, when the user terminal device is installed with an APP corresponding to the cooking device and the APP is in communication connection with the main body 2000, the user may select a digital menu of dishes to be cooked from the digital menu through an interactive interface provided by the corresponding APP. The digital menu includes ingredient information such as required food materials and required seasonings corresponding to dishes, and the main body 2000 responds to selection operation of a user to acquire the digital menu of the dishes to be cooked by the user and also can acquire data contents such as step information required for cooking the dishes and added seasoning information. The main body 2000 can determine the related information of the target flavoring needed to be put currently based on the acquired data content corresponding to the cooking dishes, and can send the related information of the target flavoring to the feeding device 1000 in a wireless communication (such as bluetooth) manner, so that the controller in the feeding device 1000 can execute the feeding control logic in the above 101 to 104 based on the received related information of the target flavoring.

Based on the above description, that is, the information about the target spice in 1011 can be obtained by the controller from the main body 20. The main body 2000 may obtain the related information of the target flavoring through the following manners: responding to selection operation triggered by a user through an interactive interface, and acquiring data content corresponding to dishes to be cooked by the user according to the selection operation; and determining related information of the target seasoning according to the data content.

The related information of the target seasoning may include, but is not limited to: seasoning labels, the category of the seasonings, the required seasoning feeding amount, the seasoning feeding time and the like. The seasoning label includes at least one of: name of seasoning and name of material bottle; the seasoning belongs to the category comprising at least one of the following: mixing liquid seasoning, oil seasoning, clear water, etc.; the required adding amount of the seasonings comprises at least one of the following components: weight, volume; the seasoning putting time comprises at least one of the following: the starting time of putting in the seasonings, the finishing time of putting in the seasonings, the duration time of the process of putting in the seasonings and the like. In addition, in the case that there are a plurality of target seasonings, the related information may further include a priority order of adding the plurality of target seasonings, so that the seasoning control logic provided by the present embodiment is sequentially executed for each of the plurality of target seasonings according to the priority order of the plurality of target seasonings.

After the relevant information of the target seasoning is obtained, the purpose that a target blanking port special for putting the target seasoning, a material bottle storing the target seasoning and the like are determined according to pre-stored data preset in a memory can be achieved subsequently. For example, based on the category to which the obtained target seasoning belongs, a target blanking port special for throwing the target seasoning can be selected from a plurality of blanking ports by combining the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the plurality of blanking ports on the turntable and the seasoning category; or, based on the obtained identifier of the target seasoning, the seasoning information stored in each of the plurality of stored seasoning bottles may be combined to determine the seasoning bottle corresponding to the target seasoning bottle, and so on. Based on the determined material bottle and the target blanking port corresponding to the target seasoning, the pre-stored data information (such as the corresponding relation between the material bottle and the charging port, the relative position relation between the plurality of charging ports, the relative position relation between the plurality of blanking ports and the like) is combined, so that the action that the target seasoning corresponds to the material bottle can be realized by controlling the rotation of the turntable, the position of the discharging port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned to the position of the target blanking port, and the charging of the target seasoning through the target blanking port is realized.

That is, the step 1012 of controlling the first driving unit to rotate based on the related information so as to drive the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle to align with the target discharge port may specifically include:

10121. selecting one blanking opening from the plurality of blanking openings as the target blanking opening based on the related information;

10122. determining a second relative position relationship between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target blanking port;

10123. and controlling a first driving unit to rotate based on the second relative position relation so as to drive the discharge hole of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to align with the target blanking hole.

In a specific implementation solution, the step 10121 "selecting one blanking opening from a plurality of blanking openings as the target blanking opening based on the related information" may specifically include the following steps:

a11, determining the category of the target seasoning based on the related information;

and A12, based on the category of the target seasoning, selecting a blanking port special for throwing the category seasoning from the plurality of blanking ports as the target blanking port.

Further, the step a12 "based on the category to which the target seasoning belongs, selecting a special blanking port for dropping the category seasoning from the plurality of blanking ports as the target blanking port", specifically may be implemented by the following steps:

a121, acquiring corresponding relations between a plurality of blanking ports and seasonings;

and A122, selecting a blanking port special for throwing the category seasoning from the plurality of blanking ports as the target blanking port based on the corresponding relation and the category to which the target seasoning belongs.

In specific implementation, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 3 and fig. 12a, the plurality of blanking ports are located on the base 30 of the feeding device 1000, and the corresponding relationship between the blanking ports and the seasonings describes which types of seasonings can be fed from the blanking ports. For example, referring to the simplified schematic top view of the base 30 shown in fig. 12b, two blanking ports, namely a first blanking port 311 and a second blanking port 312, are formed on the base 30, and in order to realize the feeding of oil and water in a separated manner, the second blanking port 312 may be set to be only used for feeding oil-based seasonings, such as edible oil, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, etc., and the first blanking port 311 is used for feeding other non-oil-based seasonings, such as liquid seasonings, e.g., vinegar, light soy sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, clear water, etc. On the basis, if the category of the target seasoning belongs to the edible oil, the selected target blanking port is the second blanking port 312, otherwise, if the category of the target seasoning belongs to other non-oil seasonings, the correspondingly selected target blanking port is the first blanking port 311.

10122, the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning may be determined by combining the stored seasoning information stored in each of the plurality of material bottles based on the obtained identifier of the target seasoning. When the charging device 1000 shown in fig. 1a and fig. 2 is used for charging, after the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position, the electronic tag (e.g., NFC tag) arranged on the material bottle is read and stored by controlling the rotation of the turntable 20 by using the data code reader (e.g., NFC code reader) arranged on the base; or, in a case where each of the feeding ports on the rotating disc 20 is fitted and inserted with a fixed material bottle, the seasonings stored in the material bottles may be fixed, in this case, the seasoning information stored in the material bottles will be pre-stored, and in addition, the corresponding insertion relationship between the material bottles and the feeding ports will be pre-stored. For the process of determining the seasoning information stored in each of the plurality of material bottles, reference may be made to the above related contents, and details thereof are not repeated herein.

The seasoning information stored in the material bottle may include, but is not limited to, a material bottle identifier, the seasoning stored in the material bottle, a category to which the seasoning belongs, a seasoning placement time, and the like. When the seasoning information of the material bottle is stored, the seasoning information of the material bottle and the material inlet correspondingly communicated with the material bottle can be stored in a corresponding memory in a data storage mode shown in table 1 in an associated mode so as to be called when needed. TABLE 1

Feed inlet identification	Material bottle mark	Seasoning stored in seasoning bottle	The category of seasoning

In a specific implementation solution, the step 10122 of determining a second relative position relationship between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target material dropping port may specifically include:

a21, acquiring a first position relation between the current position and a reference position;

a22, acquiring a second position relation between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the reference position;

a23, obtaining a third position relation between the target blanking port and the reference position;

and A24, calculating a second relative position relation between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target blanking port according to the first position relation, the second position relation and the third position relation.

In specific implementation, the reference position is an original position, and when the feeding device 1000 is started each time to realize an automatic feeding function for a dish to be cooked, the turntable 20 is first positioned to the reference position, and then the turntable 20 is controlled to rotate based on the rotation control logic to realize the automatic feeding function. Accordingly, the current position refers to the position of the current dial. In some embodiments, the current position may be a reference position or other non-reference position, which is determined by the cooking stage in which the dish currently being cooked is. The technical scheme that this embodiment provided avoids appearing scurrying the flavor when different condiments are reinforced through same blanking mouth, simultaneously, also guarantees reinforced accuracy and precision, and every time has carried out reinforced back once through a blanking mouth, all can carry out the evacuation operation of a residual condiment to this blanking mouth. When the feeding is executed, the discharging port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned with the position of the target blanking port, specifically, when one material bottle is inserted on the turntable, the discharging port of the material bottle is communicated with a corresponding feeding port on the turntable, so that the feeding is executed by aligning the feeding port communicated with the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with the position of the target blanking port. The emptying operation of the residual seasoning is executed, and an achievable technical scheme can be as follows: the target seasoning is dislocated from the position of the target blanking port corresponding to the material bottle, so that external air can enter the target blanking port to complete the process, and specific implementation processes can refer to the following relevant contents, which are not described herein any more.

Based on this, when the positional relationship between the current position and the reference position is obtained in this step, according to the feeding situation that has been currently executed for other target seasonings, the current position of the turntable may be the reference position, or other non-reference positions, for example, when the turntable 20 is at the current position, a emptying position 122 on the turntable, which is adjacent to the feeding port through which the corresponding material bottle of the previous target seasoning is communicated, is aligned with the position of the material dropping port dedicated to dropping the previous target seasoning. For example, referring to FIG. 19c, assume that the empty location 122a on the carousel 20 between the loading port 222 and the loading port 121b is aligned with the second blanking port 312 when the carousel 20 is in the current position. In addition, referring to fig. 10b, fig. 12b and fig. 19a, the setting of the triggering member 123 and the sensing member 39 are both set at the reference position, and when the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position, the triggering member 123 on the turntable is aligned with the first blanking 311 (as shown in fig. 19 a), where the setting is described in the following manner as the positional relationship between each feeding port, each emptying position and the reference position (i.e. the position of the triggering member 123) (or the positional relationship between each blanking port on the base and the reference position): the included angle between each charging port 22 (or emptying position 122) and the reference position along the first direction is represented by a positive included angle, whereas the included angle between each charging port 22 (or emptying position 122) and the reference position along the second direction is represented by a negative included angle; the second direction and the first direction are opposite directions. Illustratively, referring to FIG. 19a, the port 121e on the turntable is angled 32.5 degrees from the reference position in a first direction (e.g., clockwise) and the port 121d is angled 62.5 degrees (i.e., -15-47.5 degrees) from the reference position in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise). Then, when the dial 20 is at the current position shown in fig. 19c, the angle between the current position and the reference position along the first direction (e.g. clockwise) is specifically: the angle between the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e. the setting of the trigger 123) is 176.25 ° (i.e. 31.25 ° +56.25 ° +)

32.5 °), an included angle between the second blanking port 312 aligned with the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e., the position of the first blanking port 311) is 50 °; in addition, assuming that the discharge port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to be currently poured is communicated with the feeding port 121c, and the first material dropping port 311 is used for pouring the target seasoning to be currently poured, an included angle between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning (i.e., the feeding port 121 c) and a corresponding position of the reference position (i.e., the trigger 123 is disposed) along the first direction is 252.5 ° (i.e., 22.5 ° +22.5 ° +31.25 ° +31.25 ° +56.25 ° +56.25 ° +32.5 °), an included angle between the target material dropping port and a corresponding position of the reference position (i.e., the first material dropping port 311) is 0 °, so that a positive included angle between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the corresponding position of the target material dropping port along the first direction is 126.25 ° (i.e., 252.5 ° -176.25 ° + (50 ° -0) can be obtained through calculation, that the turntable 20 needs to be controlled to rotate 126.25 ° along the second direction, so that an included angle between the material bottle corresponding position of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target material dropping port can be aligned, and the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning can be obtained through calculation, and the corresponding to be controlled along the second material dropping port, and the target seasoning can be correspondingly controlled along the corresponding direction.

As can be seen from the above example, the second relative position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding material bottle and the target material dropping port obtained above may include a second included angle between the target seasoning corresponding material bottle and the target material dropping port and a second rotation direction. Wherein, the second rotation direction refers to a rotation direction corresponding to the rotation of the control dial. Based on this, one achievable technical solution of 10123 "controlling the first driving unit to rotate based on the second relative position relationship so as to drive the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle to align with the target blanking port" is:

and controlling a first driving unit to drive the target seasoning corresponding material bottle to rotate by the second included angle along the second rotation direction, so that the discharge hole of the target seasoning corresponding material bottle is aligned with the target blanking hole.

In specific implementation, please refer to fig. 7a, a corresponding control command may be generated based on the determined second relative position relationship; the control instruction is sent to the first driving unit, specifically, the control instruction is about to occur to the driving part 83, the driving part 83 can rotate an appointed included angle along the rotation direction through the driving turntable according to the received control instruction, so that the driving of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle rotates the appointed included angle along the rotation direction, and the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is aligned with the target blanking position. For example, in the example of step 10122, assuming that the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is communicated with the feeding port 121c on the turntable, the determining of the relative position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the target discharging port (i.e., the first discharging port 311) includes: the second included angle between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the position corresponding to the target blanking is 126.25 °, and the second rotating direction is counterclockwise, the driving element 83 drives the rotating disc 20 to rotate 126.25 ° in the counterclockwise direction according to the received control instruction, so as to drive the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to rotate 126.25 ° in the counterclockwise direction, so that the discharge port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned with the position of the target blanking port (as shown in fig. 19 d).

After the position of the discharge hole of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is aligned with the position of the target blanking hole, the seasoning in the target material bottle can be drawn out from the target material bottle by controlling the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking hole to work. In specific implementation, the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking can be determined based on the corresponding relationship between the pre-stored blanking port 31 and the second driving unit, and the second driving unit is controlled to work by sending a control instruction to the corresponding second driving unit, so as to extract the seasoning in the material bottle. Based on this, in a specific implementation solution, the step 102 "of controlling the second driving unit corresponding to the target material dropping port to operate so as to feed the target seasoning into the cooking container through the target material dropping port and the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the target material dropping port" may specifically include the following steps:

1021. acquiring a driving identifier corresponding to the target blanking port;

1022. and sending a material pumping instruction to a second driving unit corresponding to the driving identifier so as to enable the second driving unit to act, so that a space corresponding to the target blanking port generates negative pressure, and the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the target blanking port and the target blanking port is used for feeding materials due to the fact that the material outlet of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is opened under the action of the negative pressure.

For example, with reference to fig. 19d, continuing to receive the above example, after the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is communicated with the feeding port 121c on the turntable 20, and the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is aligned with the target discharging port (i.e. the first discharging port 311 shown in the figure), the feeding port 121c and the first discharging port 311 are closely matched and aligned to form a sealed cavity. The second driving unit (e.g., the first material delivery pump 841 shown in fig. 7a and 7 b) corresponding to the first blanking port 311 operates based on the received material pumping instruction, at this time, the second driving unit pumps negative pressure to open the one-way valve at the discharge port of the material bottle 11 corresponding to the target seasoning, so that the target seasoning in the material bottle falls into the first blanking port 311, and then is fed into the cooking container through the corresponding material delivery pipeline (e.g., the first material delivery pipeline 811 shown in fig. 7 a) under the action of the first material delivery pump 841, thereby realizing material feeding through the first blanking port 311 and the second material delivery pipeline 811 corresponding to the first blanking port 311.

Further, when the corresponding second driving unit is controlled to act, whether the acting time of the second driving unit reaches a time condition or not can be monitored, so that the second driving unit is controlled to stop acting when the time condition is reached, the material outlet of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is closed, and the material charging is completed. Based on this, the method provided in this embodiment may further include:

1023. monitoring whether the action time of the second driving unit reaches a second time condition;

1024. and when a second time condition is reached, sending a stop instruction to the second driving unit so as to stop the second driving unit and finish the charging of the target seasoning.

In specific implementation, the second time condition may be, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the duration of the process of putting the seasonings and the finishing time of putting the seasonings. In the case that the obtained related information of the target seasoning directly includes seasoning throwing time, such as duration of seasoning throwing process, seasoning throwing end time, and the like, the time condition can be directly obtained from the related information. And under the condition that the relevant information does not include the seasoning throwing time, the seasoning throwing time can be calculated based on the required seasoning throwing amount in the relevant information, the working power of the second driving unit and the like, for example, the required seasoning throwing amount is 6 g, 2g of seasoning can be added into the cooking container by the second driving unit every 1 second, and only the duration time required by the process of obtaining the seasoning throwing time is calculated to be 3 seconds, namely, the second driving unit needs to work for 3 seconds.

Assuming that the obtained second time condition is that the second driving unit needs to operate for 3 seconds, taking over the examples in steps 1021 to 1022, when the time for monitoring the operation of the first feed pump 841 reaches 3 seconds, the controller may send a stop instruction to the first feed pump 841, and the first feed pump 841 stops operating based on the received stop instruction, accordingly, the check valve of the target seasoning corresponding to the discharge port of the material bottle 11 is closed, and the charging of the target seasoning through the first drop port 311 is completed.

Here, it is considered that after the target seasoning is completely fed through the first blanking port 311, residual target seasoning often remains in the first material conveying pipe 811 corresponding to the first blanking port 311 and the first blanking port 311, and in this case, if no treatment is performed on the residual target seasoning, the feeding accuracy of the target seasoning may be affected, and further, if the next target seasoning is fed again through the first blanking port 311, the target seasoning may be tainted by the difference in seasoning. To solve this problem, the present embodiment will also perform an emptying operation of the residual seasoning for each time after the feeding through a blanking port is completed. In specific implementation, as described in 103 above, after the target seasoning is completely fed, the first driving unit is controlled to continue to rotate again to drive the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle 11 to move, so that the position of the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is staggered from the position of the target discharge port, and external air enters the target discharge port, so as to use the external air to empty the target discharge port and the residual target seasoning in the corresponding material conveying pipeline.

In an implementation technical solution, the above step 103 of "controlling the first driving unit to continue rotating so that the position of the discharging port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is dislocated from the position of the target discharging port", may specifically include:

1031. determining a first rotating direction and a rotating angle;

1032. and controlling a first driving unit to drive the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to rotate by the rotation angle along the first rotation direction, so that the position of the discharge port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is staggered with the position of the target blanking port.

1031, the first rotation direction refers to the rotation direction corresponding to the rotation of the control dial, and the first rotation direction may be preset or determined according to the position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the next target seasoning corresponding bottle to be dropped. Under the condition that the first rotating direction is preset, an emptying position adjacent to the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning can be determined along the opposite direction of the first rotating direction, and an included angle between the emptying position and the position of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is determined, wherein the included angle is the rotating angle. In specific implementation, for example, with reference to fig. 19d continuously and taking over the examples in steps 1023 to 1024, assuming that the preset first rotation direction is counterclockwise, the feeding port 121d adjacent to the feeding port 121c communicating with the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle may be determined first in a clockwise direction, and the emptying position adjacent to the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle may be determined based on an included angle (i.e., 45 °) between the feeding port 121c and the feeding port 121d, for example, the emptying position may be located at an intermediate position between the feeding port 121c and the feeding port 121d, that is, the included angle between the emptying position and the feeding port 121c in the clockwise direction is 22.5 °. The small circle shown in fig. 19d, midway between the filling opening 121c and the filling opening 121d, is the schematically marked emptying position.

Or, in the case that the first rotation direction is determined according to the relative position relationship between the corresponding material bottle of the next target seasoning to be poured and the corresponding target material dropping port, the rotation angle may also be determined in a manner similar to the above, and the specific determination process may refer to the above process. The relative position relationship between the corresponding material bottle of the next target seasoning to be thrown and the corresponding target blanking port can be determined according to the principle that the required rotation angle is minimum when the corresponding material bottle of the next target seasoning to be thrown is aligned with the corresponding target blanking port by driving the rotating disc 20 to rotate. Specifically, for example, still referring to fig. 19d and taking over the examples of steps 1023 to 1024, assuming that the next target flavoring to be added is communicated with the material inlet 121b corresponding to the material bottle and is to be added through the first blanking port 311, the rotation of the rotating disc in the clockwise direction is calculated to be only 45 ° (i.e. 22.5 ° +22.5 °) to align the material inlet 121b with the first blanking port 311, and the rotation of the rotating disc in the counterclockwise direction is controlled to be more than 45 ° to align the material inlet 121b with the first blanking port 311, so that the first rotation direction is determined to be the clockwise direction. Based on the determined first rotation method, it is further determined that the rotation angle is 22.5 °.

Based on the above, in an achievable technical solution, the 1031 "determining the first rotation direction and the rotation angle" may specifically be implemented by the following steps:

10311. determining a first relative position relation between a material bottle corresponding to the next target seasoning and a corresponding target blanking port;

10312. determining the first rotation direction according to the first relative position relation;

10313. acquiring a first included angle between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the corresponding position of the adjacent material bottle based on the first rotating direction;

10314. determining the rotation angle according to the first included angle;

in 1032 above, referring to fig. 19d, assuming that the first rotation direction determined in step 1031 is clockwise and the rotation angle is 22.5 °, the first driving unit is controlled to drive the turntable 20 to rotate clockwise by 22.5 °, and the emptying position located at the middle position between the feeding opening 121b and the feeding opening 121c is aligned with the first blanking opening 311 (as shown in fig. 19 e), i.e. the target seasoning corresponding to the discharging opening of the material bottle is misaligned with the target blanking opening (i.e. the first blanking opening 311).

After the position of the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is staggered with the position of the target blanking port, a clearance space is formed between the target blanking port and the bottom of the turntable due to the existence of a distance, and the clearance space forms a cleaning channel, so that external air can flow into the corresponding target blanking port, and residual target seasoning in the target blanking port and the corresponding material conveying pipeline can flow into the cooking container. When the method is implemented, the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking port can be controlled to act again to pump negative pressure to drive external air entering the target blanking port to circulate, and under the drive of external air flow, residual seasonings in the target blanking port and the corresponding conveying pipeline can flow into the cooking container, so that the emptying of the residual seasonings is realized. That is, in a practical implementation solution combining the

above steps

103 and 104, after the position of the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is misaligned with the position of the target blanking port, external air enters the target blanking port to control the second driving unit to continue to operate, which specifically includes the following steps:

1041. after the discharge port and the target blanking port are staggered, acquiring a driving identifier corresponding to the target blanking port;

1042. and sending an emptying instruction to a second driving unit corresponding to the driving identifier so as to enable the second driving unit to act, so that negative pressure is generated in a space corresponding to the target blanking port, and the outside air is driven to circulate under the action of the negative pressure.

For example, referring to fig. 19e, at this time, the emptying position located at the middle position between the feeding port 121b and the feeding port 121c is aligned with the position of the first blanking port 311, and the second driving unit (for example, the first material conveying pump 841 shown in fig. 7a and fig. 7 b) corresponding to the first blanking port 311 operates based on the received emptying instruction, so that the second driving unit generates a negative pressure to the space corresponding to the first blanking port 311, and external air entering the first blanking port is driven to circulate due to the negative pressure, and the circulation of the external air flow can take away residual seasoning in the conveying pipes corresponding to the first blanking port 311 and the first blanking port 311, thereby emptying the residual seasoning.

Further, the method provided by this embodiment may further include:

1043. monitoring whether the time for the second driving unit to continue to act reaches a first time condition;

1044. and when a first time condition is reached, sending a stop instruction to the second driving unit, and finishing emptying the residual seasonings in the target blanking port.

In specific implementation, the first time condition is a time value flexibly preset according to an actual situation, for example, the first time condition may be 4 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

As can be seen from the above content, according to the technical scheme provided by this embodiment, based on the obtained related information of the target seasoning, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle to align with the position of the target blanking port based on the related information; after the position of a discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is aligned with the position of the target blanking port, the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking port is further controlled to act, so that the target seasoning is fed into the cooking container through the target blanking port and a material conveying pipeline corresponding to the target blanking port; then, after the target seasoning is fed, the first driving unit is controlled to continue rotating again, so that the position of the target seasoning corresponding to the discharge port of the material bottle is staggered with the position of the target blanking port, and external air enters the target blanking port; and after the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is staggered with the target blanking port, the external air enters the target blanking port, and the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking port is further controlled to act again, so that the external air is used for emptying the target blanking port and the residual target seasoning in the corresponding material conveying pipeline. Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment is that the automatic feeding of the target seasoning is completed through the special blanking port for feeding the target seasoning, so that the automatic feeding is ensured, and different seasonings are separately added through the corresponding blanking ports. In addition, after the target seasonings are fed through the corresponding target blanking ports, the target blanking ports can be further emptied, so that the phenomenon that the seasonings are mixed in the conveying pipelines corresponding to the same blanking ports and taste channeling is caused can be avoided.

Further, in order to realize the reference position positioning function, the turntable is positioned to the reference position when automatic charging is performed using the charging device provided in the present embodiment, or the turntable is reset to the reference position when an error occurs in the program delivery, and so on. The application provides a still be provided with trigger piece and sensing piece on the feeding device to realize the function of location reference position through trigger piece or sensing piece. For the specific arrangement position and form of the triggering element and the sensing element, reference is made to the relevant contents of the above embodiments, and detailed description is omitted here. Based on this, the method provided in this embodiment may further include the following steps:

105. when a reset instruction is monitored, controlling the first driving unit to rotate so as to drive the trigger piece to rotate;

106. detecting an induction signal between the sensing part and the trigger part in the rotation process of the trigger part;

107. and positioning a reference position according to the detected induction signal.

In the above-described 105 to 106, the reset instruction may refer to an instruction to position the dial to the reference position. In specific implementation, the reset instruction may be triggered by a user, for example, an application scenario shown in fig. 1a is taken as an example, when the user starts the cooking device to cook, a corresponding initialization operation may be triggered for the charging device through an interactive interface provided by the cooking device or a terminal device thereof, so as to send the reset instruction to the controller; or, in the process of executing the automatic feeding logic by the cooking equipment, the user performs initialization operation triggered by the error-reporting prompt message received by the bit so as to send a reset instruction to the controller. Alternatively, the reset command may be triggered automatically by the device. For example, still taking the application scenario shown in fig. 1a as an example, when the cooking device is started, the corresponding controller may automatically trigger the reset function, or when the dosing execution is finished, the controller may autonomously trigger the reset function. The triggering manner of the reset instruction in this embodiment is not particularly limited.

When a reset instruction is monitored, the first driving unit can be controlled to work according to the specific structural function of the feeding device and the arrangement positions of the sensing part and the trigger part so as to drive at least one of the sensing part and the trigger part to rotate. In this embodiment, the first driving device drives the turntable to rotate so as to drive the triggering part or the sensing part arranged on the turntable to rotate, so as to detect the sensing signal between the sensing part and the triggering part and position the turntable to the reference position. In 107, the turntable of the feeding device can be positioned to the reference position according to the detected sensing signal. The implementation manner of positioning the turntable to the reference position according to the detected sensing signal is specifically related to the mounting positions of the sensing part and the triggering part and the corresponding relationship between the reference positions.

For example, the sensing element is a hall element, and the triggering element is a magnetic induction element. Referring to fig. 10b and 12b, it is assumed that the turntable 20 provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a magnetic induction member (i.e., the triggering member 123 shown in the figures), and the base 30 is provided with a hall element (i.e., the sensing member 39 shown in the figures). For example, if the magnetic sensor and the hall element are both arranged at the reference position, the position where the sensing signal between the magnetic sensor and the hall element is strongest is the reference position. The controller can detect the change state of the induction signal between the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element, and when the change state of the induction signal changes, the first driving unit is controlled to stop rotating so as to position the turntable at the current position, wherein the current position is the reference position. Specifically, when the controller is rotatory through first drive unit drive carousel to this realization drive magnetic induction spare is rotatory in-process, when magnetic induction spare and hall element are constantly close, the induction signal of the two production, for example voltage signal's value can constantly increase until reaching the peak value, continue to control first drive unit drive carousel this moment, magnetic induction spare and hall element are constantly kept away from, voltage signal's value can constantly reduce, the flex point can appear in voltage signal's waveform promptly, when rotatory to voltage signal's flex point position with the carousel, be about to the carousel location to the reference position. Therefore, in a specific implementation, the controller may detect the sensing signal of the hall element, and if the sensing signal is detected to be decreased after the sensing signal is detected to be increased N times continuously during the rotation of the turntable, the position of the turntable at that time may be determined as the reference position. In addition, considering that the magnetic induction elements have different polarities of N and S, and different polarities, the change states of the induction signals of the hall elements are also different, and for example, the induction signals are taken as voltage signals, and the polarities are opposite, and the change states of the voltage signals are also opposite. Therefore, the controller may determine the position of the turntable as the reference position when the increase of the sensing signal is detected after the sensing signal is detected to decrease N times continuously during the rotation of the turntable. Here, it should be noted that: the induced signal is a voltage signal in the above example, and in other embodiments, the induced signal may also be a current signal, a binary digital signal, and the like, which is not limited herein. Fig. 19a is a schematic diagram showing the result of positioning the turntable 20 to the reference position in the above-described setting.

For another example, if the magnetic induction element and the hall element are both arranged at a certain angle relative to the reference position, after the position where the inductive signal between the magnetic induction element and the hall element is strongest is determined, the first driving unit is controlled to drive the turntable to rotate by a specified angle, and then the turntable can be positioned to the reference position. Specifically, as shown in fig. 10b and 12b, it is assumed that the loading opening 222 of the turntable 20 is aligned with the second blanking opening 312 of the base 30 when the turntable is at the reference position. Based on this, in the counterclockwise direction, the magnetic sensing member (i.e. the triggering member 123 shown in fig. 10 b) disposed on the turntable 20 is located at an angle of 145 ° (i.e. 56.25 ° +56.25 ° +32.5 °) with respect to the material inlet 121 a; in the clockwise direction, the hall element (i.e. the sensing member 39 shown in fig. 12 b) disposed on the base 30 is located at an angle of 50 ° with respect to the second material dropping opening 312. In the process of controlling the first driving unit to work to drive the rotary table to rotate anticlockwise, the controller determines that the rotary table is rotated to the position with the strongest sensing signal when detecting that the change state of the sensing signal between the magnetic sensing piece and the Hall element changes, but the position is not a reference position, and the included angle between the reference position and the position with the strongest sensing signal is 95 degrees (namely 145-50 degrees), so that the controller can continuously control the first driving unit to drive the rotary table to rotate anticlockwise for 95 degrees and then stop to position the rotary table to the reference position.

Based on the above example, it can be seen that the specific implementation manner of the step 107 "positioning the reference position according to the detected sensing signal" may be any one of the following: a11, when the change state of the induction signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to stop rotating so as to be positioned at a reference position; or A12, when the change state of the induction signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to drive the trigger piece to rotate continuously so as to drive the trigger piece to rotate by a specified angle, so as to position the trigger piece to the reference position. The specified angle is related to the position relationship between the sensing member and the triggering member and the reference position, and the specified angle is not specifically limited herein.

Further, when positioning the dial to the reference position is performed, there is also a case: when the turntable is not installed in the feeding device, the controller controls the first driving unit to work, and the sensing signal detected between the sensing part and the triggering part is always in an unchanged state. In this case, when the controller controls the first driving unit to operate to reach the preset condition, if it is detected that the sensing signal between the sensing part and the triggering part is always in an unchanged state, the controller may display a prompt message indicating that the resetting fails, so as to prompt a user to check whether to install the turntable or not. The preset condition may be a preset time condition, a sensing signal between the sensing element and the triggering element is detected for M consecutive times without change, and the like, which is not limited herein.

In summary, the control flow corresponding to the control method provided by the implementation can be divided into reset control, seasoning content detection stored in the material bottle and charging control on the whole. In summary, the feed control can be summarized as the process shown in FIG. 20 b. Firstly, selecting a target blanking port special for throwing the target seasoning from a plurality of blanking ports according to the target seasoning to be thrown; after the positions of the material bottles corresponding to the target seasonings and the target blanking port are controlled to be aligned, the working time required by a second driving unit (such as a peristaltic pump) corresponding to the target blanking port is controlled according to the required feeding amount of the target seasonings, and the second driving unit is controlled to work, so that the target seasonings are fed through the corresponding target blanking port; after the working time of the second driving unit reaches the time condition, controlling the second driving unit to stop working, and controlling to align an emptying position adjacent to a material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with the position of the target blanking port; and the emptying position is aligned with the position of the target blanking port, and the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking port is controlled to work for a preset time so as to empty the residual seasonings by utilizing the external air, so that the target seasoning addition is completed. It can be seen that, the target seasonings are fed through the target blanking port special for feeding the target seasonings, so that separate feeding of different types of seasonings is realized, for example, oil and water can be separated and fed, the oil is prevented from being polluted by water, or sweet seasonings and salty seasonings can be separated and fed, and the mixture of sweet and salty seasonings is avoided. In addition, when the feeding operation is performed on one target seasoning, the feeding and discharging processes are performed on the blanking port special for feeding the target seasoning once, so that the situation that the taste cannot be mixed when different seasonings are fed through the same blanking port for multiple times is guaranteed.

In view of the above, in order to more clearly illustrate the charging control logic described in the control method provided in the present application, a detailed description is given below with reference to fig. 7a, fig. 7b, and fig. 19a to fig. 19e, as a specific example. Specifically, referring to fig. 19a, assuming that the turntable 20 is at the reference position, the trigger 123 on the turntable 20 is aligned with the first blanking port 311, and the seasonings stored in the material bottles respectively communicated with the material inlet 222, the material inlet 121b, the material inlet 121c, the material inlet 121d and the material inlet 121 on the turntable 20 are denoted as seasoning 1, seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5, and assuming that the second blanking port 312 is dedicated for dispensing the seasoning 1, the first blanking port 311 is used for dispensing the seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5. Referring to fig. 7a and 7b, the second driving unit corresponding to the second blanking port 312 is set as a second material-transporting pump 842 (abbreviated as material-transporting pump 842), and the second driving unit corresponding to the first blanking port 311 is set as a first material-transporting pump 841 (abbreviated as material-transporting pump 841).

after the seasoning 1 is fed, controlling the first driving unit to continue rotating to drive the turntable to rotate by 31.25 °, aligning the emptying position between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 121b with the position of the second blanking port 312 (as shown in fig. 19 c), and allowing external air to enter the second blanking port 312; then, the material delivery pump 842 is controlled to operate, and the second blanking port 312 and the residual seasoning 1 in the material delivery pipeline corresponding to the second blanking port are emptied by external air; after the residual seasoning 1 is emptied, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate by 81.25 degrees, and aligning the seasoning 2 corresponding to the seasoning bottle with the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the material delivery pump 841 to operate so that the seasoning 2 is fed into the cooking container through the first material dropping port 311 and the material delivery pipe corresponding to the first material dropping port 311; after the seasoning 2 is fed, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 22.5 degrees, aligning the emptying position between the feeding port 121b and the feeding port 121c with the position of the first blanking port 311, and allowing external air to enter the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the feed delivery pump 841 to operate, and exhausting the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasoning 2 in the corresponding feed delivery pipeline by external air; after the residual seasonings 2 are emptied, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 22.5 degrees, and aligning the position of the seasoning bottle corresponding to the seasonings 3 with the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the material conveying pump 841 to operate so that the seasoning 3 is fed through the first blanking port 311 and the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port 311; after the seasoning 3 is fed, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 22.5 degrees, the emptying position between the feeding port 121c and the feeding port 121d is aligned with the position of the first blanking port 311, and external air enters the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the feed delivery pump 841 to operate, and exhausting the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasoning 3 in the corresponding feed delivery pipeline by external air; after the residual seasonings 3 are emptied, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 22.5 degrees, and aligning the position of the seasoning bottle corresponding to the seasonings 4 with the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the feed delivery pump 841 to work so that the seasoning 4 is fed through the first blanking port 311 and the feed delivery pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port 311; after the seasoning 4 is fed, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 47.5 degrees, aligning the emptying position between the feeding port 121d and the feeding port 121e with the position of the first blanking port 311, and allowing external air to enter the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the material conveying pump 841 to work, and exhausting the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasonings 4 in the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port by external air; after the residual seasonings 4 are emptied, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 47.5 degrees, and aligning the position of the seasoning bottle corresponding to the seasonings 5 with the first blanking port 311;

after the residual seasoning 5 is completely emptied, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 271.25 degrees, and the turntable returns to the reference position.

Case 2: the materials are added out of order, namely not in the order of the seasonings on the rotating disc. Specifically, for example, assuming that the turntable is at the reference position (as shown in fig. 19 a), and the target seasonings to be thrown in are seasoning 3 and seasoning 2 in sequence, the turntable is controlled to rotate according to a fixed rotation method, for example, in a counterclockwise rotation direction, and the corresponding control process is: the turntable is positioned at the reference position, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 252.5 degrees (namely 56.25 degrees +32.5 degrees +31.25 degrees +22.5 degrees), and the seasoning 3 is aligned with the first blanking port 311 corresponding to the material bottle (shown in figure d); then, controlling the feed pump 841 to work so that the seasoning 3 is fed through the first blanking port 311 and the feed pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port 311; after the seasoning 3 is fed, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate by 22.5 degrees, aligning the emptying position between the feeding port 121c and the feeding port 121d with the position of the first blanking port 311, and allowing external air to enter the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the feed delivery pump 841 to work, and feeding external air into the first blanking port 311 to empty the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasonings 3 in the corresponding feed delivery pipeline; after the residual seasonings 3 are emptied, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate for 315 degrees, and aligning the corresponding seasoning bottles of the seasonings 2 with the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the feed pump 841 to work so that the seasoning 2 is fed through the first blanking port 311 and the feed pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port 311; after the seasoning 2 is fed, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the rotating disc to rotate for 22.5 degrees, the emptying position between the feeding port 121b and the feeding port 121c is aligned with the position of the first blanking port 311, and external air enters the first blanking port 311; then, controlling the material conveying pump 841 to work, and introducing external air into the first blanking port 311 to empty the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasonings 2 in the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port 311; the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate, so that the turntable returns to the reference position.

As can be seen from the above, if the out-of-order feeding logic is executed by rotating in the fixed rotation direction, there is a case that additional rotation time is needed, for example, in the above example, after the seasoning 3 is completely fed, the seasoning 2 is rotated to the position corresponding to the first material dropping port 311 to align with the corresponding material bottle to feed the seasoning 2, and almost one rotation is needed. For this problem, the technical solution provided by this embodiment also supports the automatic feeding in a control manner of the rotation direction without fixing the turntable. In this way, in the process of controlling the rotating disc to rotate the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle to the corresponding target blanking port, the rotating disc can be controlled to rotate in a certain direction according to the principle of minimum rotation angle. Based on this, in the above example, after the logic of feeding the seasoning 3 through the first blanking port 311 is completed, the first driving unit may be controlled to rotate, so that the turntable rotates clockwise by 22.5 ° +22.5 °, and the seasoning 2 is aligned with the first blanking port 311 corresponding to the material bottle; then, controlling the feed delivery pump 841 to operate so that the seasoning 2 is fed through the first blanking port 311 and the corresponding feed delivery pipeline; after the seasoning 2 is fed, controlling the first driving unit to rotate so as to enable the turntable to rotate 31.25 degrees anticlockwise, aligning an emptying position between the feeding port 121b and the feeding port 121a with the position of the first blanking port 311, and enabling external air to enter the first blanking port 311; then, the material conveying pump 841 is controlled to work, and the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasoning 2 in the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the first blanking port are emptied by external air; and controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate counterclockwise for a certain angle, so that the turntable returns to the reference position.
