For convenience of understanding, in the following embodiments, a first casing 110 and a second casing 120 are defined as a casing forming the storage chamber 111, wherein the first casing 110 is formed with a feeding port 113 at the bottom thereof, and the second casing 120 is formed with a discharging port 122 at the bottom thereof.

The detachable connection between the first casing 110 and the second casing 120 facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the first casing 110 and the second casing 120 at any time according to actual needs, thereby facilitating the cleaning and maintenance of the first casing 110 and the second casing 120. The specific connection manner between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is not limited, and may be, but is not limited to, one or more of screw fastening, snap fastening, suction fastening, or adhesive fastening. Specifically, for example, as shown in fig. 4 and fig. 7, a connecting column (not shown in the drawings) may be protruded from the bottom of the first casing 110, a connecting groove (not shown in the drawings) may be disposed on the top of the second casing 120, and the connecting column and the connecting groove are inserted and matched to realize the positioning and substantial fixing of the first casing 110 and the second casing 120; further, threaded holes (not shown) are respectively formed in the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are further connected and fixed by screws (not shown).

The shape and size of the opening element 210 are adapted to the mating opening, and in order to achieve a better covering effect of the opening element 210 on the mating opening, the size of the opening element 210 may be slightly larger than the size of the mating opening, so that when the opening element 210 covers the mating opening, the periphery of the opening element 210 abuts against the periphery of the mating opening. Based on this, further, in an embodiment, the opening element 210 is elastically and telescopically arranged in a direction approaching to and departing from the matching opening, so as to elastically abut against the peripheral side of the matching opening when the opening element 210 approaches to the matching opening.

Since the seasoning, whether in liquid or solid form, is added to the pod 100, exposure to the external environment should be minimized, which would otherwise cause the seasoning to become wet and contaminated and deteriorate. The elastic telescopic arrangement of the opening and closing piece 210 enables the opening and closing piece 210 to elastically abut against the periphery of the matching opening when the matching opening is covered by the opening and closing piece 210, so that the covering tightness of the opening and closing piece 210 to the matching opening is enhanced, and the sealing covering of the opening and closing piece 210 to the matching opening is realized.

Specifically, there are various schemes for implementing the elastically stretchable arrangement of the opening and closing member 210 in the direction approaching to and departing from the mating opening, and in an embodiment, the material of the opening and closing member 210 is an elastic material so as to be elastically stretchable in the direction approaching to and departing from the mating opening. Specifically, the entire opening/closing member 210 may be made of an elastic material, or an elastic material layer may be disposed on a side wall portion of the opening/closing member 210 facing the fitting opening. In addition, when the opening and closing member 210 covers the mating opening, the opening and closing member abuts against the peripheral side of the mating opening and deforms, and elastic restoring force is generated and applied to the peripheral side of the mating opening in a reverse direction, so that the two are tightly attached to each other. The elastic material has various schemes, including rubber, silica gel, metal shrapnel and the like.

Alternatively, in one embodiment, the opening element 210 is mounted to the magazine 100 by an elastic member 220 so as to be elastically and telescopically disposed in a direction approaching and departing from the mating opening. In the same way as described above, the elastic member 220 is easily deformed when being subjected to a force, thereby generating an elastic restoring force in a direction opposite to the direction of the applied external force, which enables the opening and closing member 210 to elastically press the peripheral side of the fitting opening. The elastic member 220 is, for example, a rubber block, a spring, a metal spring, or the like.
