In the present embodiment, as a preferred example, bluetooth is selected as a communication mode between the main body 2000 and the charging device 1000. Based on this, in some application scenarios, the user can select or set the current operation step by operating the display area on the main body 2000, and the operation step includes the charging step. The main body 2000 transfers the charging step selected by the user to the charging device 1000, and the charging device 1000 may perform the charging operation according to the charging step. Therefore, automatic feeding can be realized, and the automation degree of cooking equipment is improved.

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 the target seasoning to be dispensed, which is input by the operation module, and control the feeding device 1000 to perform related operations 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 communicates 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 specific driving form is not limited in this application.

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 to return the engaging portion 91 to the engaging 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 application portion 92 can act on the elastic portion 93 to deform the elastic portion 93, and when the force application portion 92 is not subjected to an external force, the elastic portion 93 can be in a natural state or a less deformed 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, and will not be described herein.

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 82 b. The first joint portion 82a is connected to the feed passage 81. The second connector portion 82b is partially inserted and fixed into the first connector portion 82a, and is partially used to connect 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.

The design of the connecting joint 82 as a separate structure and the locking assembly 90 disposed in the separate connecting joint 82 facilitates the molding of the connecting joint 82 and the installation of the locking assembly 90. More specifically, a through hole 82a1 through which the force application portion 92 projects may be provided in 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.

Some embodiments of the present application also provide another cooking apparatus, including: a main body 2000 and a feeding device 1000.

The feeding device 1000 is used for containing seasonings; the charging device 1000 is communicatively connected to the main body 2000 to enable data transmission between the charging device 1000 and the main body 2000. The feeding assembly 80 is connected to the main body 2000 and the feeding device 1000, and the feeding assembly 80 is used for feeding the seasoning in the feeding device 1000 to the cooking container of the main body 2000.

This embodiment is substantially the same as the above embodiments, except that the present embodiment does not limit the electrical connection relationship between the feeding device 1000 and the main body 2000, and both can be connected to different power sources, but only needs the communication connection between the feeding device 1000 and the main body 2000 and the seasoning delivery through the feeding assembly 80, thereby facilitating the self-feeding of the cooking apparatus.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 6, fig. 8a and fig. 8b, in some embodiments, the feeding unit 100 includes a material bottle assembly 10, the material bottle assembly 10 includes a plurality of material bottles 11, each material bottle 11 is opened with a material outlet 111 (the material outlet 111 is shown in fig. 6), and the material outlet 111 is opened at the bottom of the material bottle 11, taking the direction in fig. 2 as an example, so that the seasoning in the material bottle 11 can be extracted into the cooking container. 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, of the plurality of material bottles 11, at least one material bottle 11 has a first capacity, and at least one material bottle 11 has a second capacity, the first capacity being greater than the second capacity.

Taking the five material bottles 11 shown in fig. 2 and 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 volumetric material bottle 11 with a large capacity is used for accommodating seasoning with high frequency and large usage amount, such as clean water, for self-cleaning of the cooking device, which 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 216 MM. The whole structure can be spliced into a whole structure with consistent height after being integrally assembled. The shape similarity here means that each of the flasks 11 has the same shape in cross-section.

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 of the material bottles 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 joined together to form a circular shape.

The cross section of each material bottle 11 is fan-shaped, 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 circularly with storage bottle subassembly 10 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 bottle 11 is filled with fresh water, and the amount of the fresh water used is large during the operation of the cooking device, and in order to ensure that the material bottle assembly 10 has a sufficient volume of fresh water without affecting the overall diameter and height of the material box assembly, so as to achieve the overall reasonable layout and balance of the material bottle assembly 10 and the plurality of material bottles 11, the volume of the first volume of material bottle 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 can 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 sub-body 115a and a second sub-body 115b that are fastened to each other, the second sub-body 115b covers the bottle body 114, and the first sub-body 115a covers the second sub-body 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, a check valve 1152 is at least partially disposed between the first and

second body segments

115a, 115b, and at least a portion of the check valve 1152 is disposed within the bottle body 114. The vent hole 1151 and the check valve 1152 are provided to facilitate the detachment and assembly of the lid 115 and to ensure the seasoning in the material bottle 11 to flow smoothly 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 division bodies

115a and 115b may be detachably and hermetically connected such 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 way to achieve the installation of the material bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disk 20 is that the rotating disk 20 has a plurality of separate cavities 21, and the bottom wall of each separate cavity 21 is opened with a material inlet 22, that is, as shown in fig. 10a, a schematic perspective view of the rotating disk 20 from another angle (i.e. a bottom surface angle of the rotating disk) of the rotating disk 20 shown in fig. 9, and as shown in fig. 10b, a simplified top view of the rotating disk 20 from another angle, a plurality of material inlets 22 are opened on the rotating disk 20, 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. For the related description of the alignment, reference is made to the following related contents, which are not repeated herein.

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 number of feed ports and the positional relationship between the feed ports shown in fig. 9, 10a, and 10b are merely illustrative, and the number of feed ports and the positional relationship between 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 zoned 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-like manner also includes a clearance fit to facilitate removal of the bottle 11. In the clearance fit, in order to avoid the material bottle 11 and the rotary disc 20 from being loosened, a clamping structure is arranged between the material bottle 11 and the rotary disc 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 entire bottle 11 may be located in 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, an 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 chamber 21, the reinforcing ribs 23 separate the side wall of the material bottle 11 from the chamber wall of the separation chamber 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 chamber wall of the separation chamber 21 is reduced, the friction and the resistance between the material bottle 11 and the separation chamber 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 can 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 material inlet 22 is located right below the material outlet 111.

Referring to fig. 6 and fig. 8b in combination, in order to prevent the seasoning in the material bottle 11 from flowing out in the non-preset charging state, in some embodiments, a one-way valve 112 is disposed at the discharge port 111 of the material bottle 11 for opening or sealing the discharge port 111 to control the flow of the seasoning in 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 specific 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 where no suction force is applied, 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 hole 111 is communicated with the charging hole 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 about which a plurality of compartments 21 are in turn distributed. In this embodiment, the jar assembly 10 is mounted within the turntable 20 such that the jar assembly 10 and the turntable 20 rotate in unison.

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, one feed opening 22 being provided for each of the compartments 21, 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 156 MM. To ensure that the bottle 11 is stably inserted into the turntable 20, the height of the turntable is greater than or equal to one tenth of the height of the 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 capacity of material bottles 11, the second compartment 21b corresponds to a second capacity of material bottles 11, the third compartment 21c corresponds to a third capacity 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 partitioning cavity 21a ranges from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, preferably 135 degrees; the sector central angle of the second separation chamber 21b ranges from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, and 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 central angle of the first compartment 21a is greater than the sector central angle of the second compartment 21b, the sector central angle of the second compartment 21b is greater than the sector central angle of the third compartment 21c, and the sector central angles of the three third compartments 21c are the same.

For the stock bottle assembly 10, the central angles of the cross-sections of at least two stock bottles 11 are different, so that the capacities of at least two stock bottles 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 made of plastic material by injection molding, and can be molded into a complicated structure, and is easy to process and 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.

In some embodiments, there is a fool-proof structure between the at least one bottle 11 and the at least one compartment 21. Specifically, at least one material bottle 11 has a first fool-proof portion, and the cavity wall of at least one separation cavity 21 is provided with a second fool-proof portion matched with the first fool-proof portion.

When the turntable 20 has only two separation chambers 21 and only two corresponding material bottles 11, at least one of the separation chambers 21 and the corresponding material bottle 11 has a fool-proof structure, and the other separation chamber 21 and the corresponding material bottle 11 do not have the fool-proof structure or have different fool-proof structures. Through designing the fool-proof structure, the material bottle 11 can be prevented from being wrongly arranged.

Furthermore, at least two material bottles 11 are provided with a first fool-proof part, and the cavity walls of at least two separation cavities 21 are provided with a second fool-proof part; the positions of the respective second fool-proof portions on the fan-like shape formed by the cross section of the partitioned chamber 21 are different and/or the shapes of the respective second fool-proof portions are different. The positions and/or shapes of the second fool-proof parts corresponding to the respective partitioned cavities 21 are designed to be different, so that the material bottle 11 with the fool-proof structure can only correspond to one partitioned cavity 21 with the fool-proof structure, and the assembly accuracy of the material bottle assembly 10 is improved.

The fool-proof structure comprises a fool-proof protrusion 271 and a fool-proof groove 116, for example, the first fool-proof part comprises the fool-proof groove, and the second fool-proof part comprises the fool-proof protrusion; or, first prevent slow-witted portion including prevent slow-witted arch, the slow-witted recess is prevented including preventing to the second. For example, as shown in fig. 8a and 9, for the material bottles 11 having the same shape and volume and the separating chambers 21 corresponding to the material bottles 11, the chamber wall of each separating chamber 21 is further provided with at least one fool-proof protrusion 271 (as shown in fig. 9), the bottom side wall of the material bottle 11 is correspondingly provided with a fool-proof groove 116 (as shown in fig. 8 a), and the fool-proof groove 116 is matched with the fool-proof protrusion 271, so as to achieve the relative positioning between the material bottle 11 and the separating chamber 21. Of course, the other way around can be used, for example, by providing a fool-proof groove on the wall of the separation chamber 21 and a fool-proof protrusion on the bottom side wall of the material bottle 11.

The chamber wall separating the chamber 21 comprises a chamber side wall and a chamber bottom wall, wherein the chamber side wall comprises: two adjacent partitions 25 enclosing the compartment 21, and a side wall of the inner cavity of the body 24 between the two adjacent partitions 25. The chamber side walls are disposed around the chamber bottom wall to enclose the partitioned chamber 21. Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 9, fool-proof protrusions 271 may be provided on the chamber sidewall of the compartment 21. At least one fool-proof protrusion 271 is disposed on the partition 25, or at least one fool-proof protrusion 271 is disposed on the inner cavity sidewall of the body 24 between two adjacent partitions 25, or at least one fool-proof protrusion 271 is disposed on each of the inner cavity sidewalls of the body 24 between the partition 25 and two adjacent partitions 25. In this embodiment, the arrangement and the cooperation of the fool-proof protrusion 271 and the fool-proof groove 116 can guide the inserting of the material bottle 11 into the separation cavity 21, thereby ensuring that the material bottle 11 is put in place.

Further, the position of each fool-proof protrusion 271 on the cavity side wall of different partitioned cavities 21 may be different, the bottom side wall of each material bottle 11 is provided with at least one fool-proof groove 116, the corresponding fool-proof groove 116 corresponds to the fool-proof protrusion 271, so that the position of the fool-proof protrusion 271 in each partitioned cavity 21 is different, and the position of the fool-proof groove 116 on each material bottle 11 is also different, thereby ensuring the one-to-one correspondence between a plurality of material bottles 11 and a plurality of partitioned cavities 21, and effectively preventing the user from misplacing the material bottle 11 in the corresponding partitioned cavity 21. In a specific embodiment, in the area of the third compartment 21 corresponding to the three small size flasks 11, the fool-proof protrusions 271 are protruded on different side walls of the compartment 21, and clockwise as shown in fig. 9, for the first small compartment 21, the fool-proof protrusions 271 are disposed on the left side wall 25, for the second small compartment 21, the fool-proof protrusions 271 are disposed on the side wall of the inner cavity of the body 24, and for the third small compartment 21, the fool-proof protrusions 271 are disposed on the right side wall 25.

In some embodiments, at least one of the reinforcing ribs 23 constitutes the fool-proof protrusion 271, i.e., the reinforcing ribs 23 and the fool-proof protrusion 271 may have the same structure. In other embodiments, the above-mentioned reinforcing ribs 23 and the fool-proof protrusions 271 are different structures, and at least one fool-proof protrusion 271 is located between two reinforcing ribs 23 in the cavity sidewall direction. Of course, the fool-proof protrusion 271 is also a kind of reinforcing rib, and can have a structure-enhancing effect on the whole of the turntable 20 while playing the fool-proof effect. In embodiments where the stiffener 23 and the fool-proof protrusion 271 are of different configurations, the protrusion height of the fool-proof protrusion 271 on the cavity sidewall may also be greater than the protrusion height of the stiffener 23 on the sidewall.

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. When 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 23 MM. 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 seal 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 walls of the compartment 21.

Specifically, the sealing structure 71 may be disposed on the rotating disc 20 and located at the feeding opening 22, in order to prevent the sealing structure 71 from being separated from the rotating disc 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 may be directly matched with the entire wall of the filling opening 22 of the rotary disk 20 in a sealing manner, i.e. the entire edge of the filling opening 22 is surrounded 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 connecting 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 feed port 22 with the discharge 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 discharge port 111 and the feed 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, 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 peripheral surface of the sealing structure 71 is a large end, so that when the sealing lip 711 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 711 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 conveying pipeline 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 the seasoning into the cooking container. The feeding unit 100 comprises a material bottle assembly 10 and a rotating disc 20, wherein the material bottle assembly 10 is inserted 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 feeding port 22 with the opening of the buffer cavity 63. When aligned, the seasoning in the loading unit 100 may flow to the buffer chamber 63 through the loading port 22 and then be supplied to the cooking vessel through the buffer chamber 63. When misaligned, the port 22 is closed and seasoning 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 implementation the pin assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are movable 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 around the rotation axis, each feeding port 22 can independently provide different seasonings, that is, the turntable 20 can provide a plurality of seasonings, and in order to further avoid mixing of seasonings, for example, oil and water, in one embodiment, the buffer structure 60 comprises two buffer chambers 63, and the plurality of feeding ports 22 of the turntable 20 comprise 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 one other of which the second feeding ports 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.

For example, where the flavoring includes oil, the edible oil may be dispensed through the second port 222 and into the cooking vessel via one of the buffer chambers 63; for other seasonings including soy sauce, mixed seasoning, water, etc., the first filling port 221 may be used to discharge the seasoning through the other buffer chamber 63 into the cooking vessel, thereby preventing oil and water from mixing.

To accommodate more seasoning placement, in one embodiment, the turntable 20 has a plurality of first filling ports 221, such as filling port 221b, filling port 221c, filling port 221d, and filling port 221e shown in FIG. 10 b. Of course, the rotating disk 20 may also have a plurality of second material inlets 222, and fig. 10b shows the rotating disk 20 having one second material inlet 222 (i.e., the material inlet 222 shown in the figure). It should be noted that each of the first and

second feed ports

221 and 222 is communicated with the independent buffer chamber 63. In one embodiment, the outlet of some of the flasks 11 is aligned with the first inlet 221 and the outlet of some of the flasks 11 is aligned with the second inlet 222.

When the plurality of first feed ports 221 are provided, a plurality of first feed ports 221 are alternatively aligned with one buffer chamber 63. That is, each time seasoning is to be added to the cooking vessel from the first supply opening 221, that is, when the first supply opening 221 is in the charging position, only one first supply opening 221 is aligned with one buffer chamber 63, rather than a plurality of first supply openings 221 being aligned with the same buffer chamber 63. Similarly, when the plurality of second feed ports 221 are provided, a plurality of second feed ports 222 are alternatively aligned with one buffer chamber 63. In some embodiments, the buffer chamber 63 comprises a first buffer chamber 631 and a second buffer chamber 632, the four first filling ports 221 add seasoning to the cooking vessel through the first buffer chamber 631, the second filling port 222 adds seasoning to the cooking vessel through the second buffer chamber 632, and the seasoning flowing through the first filling ports 221 comprises: liquid seasonings such as water, mixed seasonings, soy sauce, etc., and the seasonings flowing through the second inlet 222 include edible oil.

As shown in fig. 5 and 11, in order to better enable the seasoning to fall into the buffer chamber 63 and to flow out of the buffer chamber 63 in a concentrated manner, in one embodiment, the communication opening 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 opening 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 of the buffer chamber gradually decreases from the flowing direction of the material, so that the upper end of the buffer chamber is convenient for receiving the seasoning flowing out from the first feeding port 221 or the second feeding port 222, and the lower end of the buffer chamber 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 cushioning structure 60, in some embodiments, the cushioning structure 60 may have a connecting plate 61 and two cushioning portions 62 connected thereto, each cushioning portion 62 having a cushioning cavity 63 and a communication port 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 separately 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 undersize parts is reduced.

In some embodiments, the buffering structure 60 may be made of plastic, including but not limited to polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, etc. The connecting plate 61 and the two buffer parts 62 can be formed in an integral injection molding mode, so that the mounting step of the connecting plate, the buffer parts and the connecting plate is omitted on one hand, and the seasoning overflow caused by a gap between the buffer parts 62 and the connecting plate 61 is avoided; on the other hand, the mass production of parts is realized.

Referring to fig. 5 and fig. 11 again, in order to prevent the seasoning from seeping out between the buffer structure 60 and the turntable 20, in an embodiment, the buffer structure 60 further has a sealing member 65, the sealing member 65 can surround the edge of the opening, when the turntable 20 rotates to the charging position, the sealing member 65 is in sealing contact with the edge of the first charging opening 221 or the edge of the second charging opening 222, so as to achieve the sealing alignment of the first charging opening 221 and the buffer cavity 63 during charging, or achieve the sealing alignment of the second charging opening 222 and the buffer cavity 63, so as to prevent the seasoning from seeping out during charging.

It should be noted that when the turntable 20 is in the charging position, the sealing member 65 is in sealing abutment with the rim of the first charging opening 221 or the rim of the second charging opening 222, that is, when the first charging opening 221 is aligned with the buffer chamber 63, the sealing member 65 on the buffer chamber 63 is in sealing abutment with the rim of the first charging opening 221, and when the second charging opening 222 is aligned with the buffer chamber 63, the sealing member 65 on the buffer chamber 63 is in sealing abutment with the rim of the second charging opening 222.

Seal 65 may be generally annular and have a diameter greater than or equal to the diameter of the opening of buffer chamber 63. In some embodiments, the diameter of the opening of the buffer chamber ranges from 10MM to 40MM, preferably 21 MM. When at least two buffer chambers 63 are provided, a seal 65 may be provided around the opening of each buffer chamber 63, the seal 65 being disposed around the buffer chamber 63. Alternatively, at least two buffer chambers 63 can share a seal 65, i.e. the seal 65 surrounds the two buffer chambers 63. The sealing member 65 may be made of rubber, silicon rubber, or silicon rubber, and has elasticity to realize elastic contact sealing.

In order to make the abutting effect of the sealing member 65 on the bottom surface of the turntable 20 better, in some embodiments, the sealing member 65 may be corrugated, and extend from the opening of the buffer chamber 63 to the direction of the feeding unit 100 (i.e. to the turntable 20), and a plurality of recesses and protrusions are alternately distributed in the axial extending direction thereof, and the recesses and protrusions are both annular, so that the deformation space of the sealing member 65 is larger, and the sealing member can be better in sealing abutment with the bottom surface of the turntable 20.

To mount the sealing member 65 to the buffer structure 60, a mounting ring groove (not shown) may be disposed on the buffer structure 60, and the sealing member 65 is partially embedded in the mounting ring groove. Another way to realize this is to provide a rib on the cushioning structure 60 and at the opening, the rib is disposed around the opening, and a groove matching with the rib is provided on the sealing member 65, so that the sealing member 65 is fixed on the rib. In some embodiments, the seal 65 is formed in one piece with the buffer chamber 63.

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 the buffer structure 60 is prevented from protruding out of the base 30 and colliding with other components to be damaged.

When the buffer structure 60 is provided, the buffer chamber 63 forms the blanking port 31 of the base 30. When the buffering structure 60 is not provided, the blanking port 31 can be formed by directly forming a hole on the base 30. 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 blanking port 311 may be formed by the buffer cavity 632, and the blanking port 312 may be formed by the buffer cavity 631.

Referring to fig. 3 and 5 in combination, in the above description, the material bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60, including the material bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 move themselves, and the buffer structure 60 is fixed in position, or the material bottle 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 jar assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are rotatably coupled to the base 30 to switch between a plurality of charging positions (fig. 15 and 17 show the turntable 20 of the charging unit 100 in the charging position) by a 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 bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 to be switched between the loading position and the 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 loading opening 22 and the blanking opening 31 are in a dislocation 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 rotating disc 20, the rotating disc 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 rotating disc 20 (or the feeding unit 100), and when the feeding port 22 and the blanking port 31 are in a dislocation state, the blanking port 31 and the preset gap can be communicated to form a cleaning channel. The blanking port 31 is communicated with the preset gap, which means that a medium assisting cleaning in the preset gap can be conveyed into the blanking port 31, and 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 remained in the material conveying pipeline 81 and 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.

Take the cleaning medium as air as an example. When the turntable 20 is in the emptying position, the cleaning channel is respectively communicated with the external air and the blanking port 31, the external air enters the blanking port 31 through the cleaning channel, and the residual seasonings in the blanking port 31 and the conveying pipeline 81 can flow into the cooking container under the drive of the air flow.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the cleaning medium may also be water or a mixed liquid of water and detergent, etc. The same reference is also made to the above or below with respect to how the emptying of the residual seasoning in the blanking opening 31, the conveying pipe, etc. is achieved by means of water or a mixture of water and washing machine liquid.

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. Through setting up on base 30 and carousel 20 and predetermine the clearance and constitute clean passageway, need not trompil on carousel 20, the shaping is got up comparatively simply to, also, there is not the through-hole that needs the clearance yet, 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 a predetermined clearance 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 protruding 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 3 MM.

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 sealing member 65 of the protrusion 22a and the blanking opening 31 can form a seal, and the protrusion and the sealing member can be tightly pressed, so that the medium such as the 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 all used for aligning with one blanking opening 31, and the protrusions 22a of another shape are used for aligning with another blanking opening 31. Specifically, the shape of the protrusion 22a corresponding to the feed port 22 for feeding the edible oil may be different from the shape of the protrusion 22a corresponding to the other feed port 22, for example, the diameter of the protrusion 22a corresponding to the feed port 22 for feeding the edible oil may be larger than the diameter of the protrusion 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.

A protrusion 22a is provided on the surface of the bottom of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, and the protrusion 22a extends from the outer surface plane of the bottom of the turntable 20 to a predetermined height in the direction of the base 30, and the height thereof is in the range of 0.5MM to 10MM, preferably 3 MM. 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 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 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.

More specifically, the projecting heights of the respective projecting portions 22a are equal. The projecting height of the projecting portion 22a means a height of the projecting portion 22a projecting toward one side surface of the base 30 on the turntable 20. The protruding heights of the protrusions 22a are equal, so that the tightness of the fit between each protrusion 22a and the material discharge opening 31 is substantially the same during the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30, and the occurrence of insufficient smoothness of the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30 due to large variation of the resistance applied to the rotation of the turntable 20 caused by the high protruding height of the respective protrusion 22a and the low protruding height of the respective protrusion 22a is avoided.

In some embodiments, the protrusion 22a may include an elastic sealing ring, which may be ring-shaped, and the elastic sealing ring is embedded in the inner wall of the material inlet 22 for elastically pressing and contacting with the material dropping opening 31, so as to enable the material inlet 22 and the material dropping opening 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 elastic sealing ring for charge door 22 can elastic sealing 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 to 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 the dislocation state, be clearance fit between carousel 20 and the base 30, can prevent on the one hand that the elastic seal circle of charge door 22 and the sealing member 65 of blanking mouth 31 are in extrusion deformation's state for a long time under, and shorten the life of elastic seal circle and sealing member 65 greatly, on the other hand says, utilize the clearance to form clean passageway, avoid forming clean passageway in the extra trompil on carousel 20, make manufacturing simpler, structural design is more reasonable.

The projection 22a includes a top flat surface 22a1 contacting the sealing member 65, and the sealing member 65 is in pressing contact with the top flat surface 22a1 in a state where the feed opening 22 is aligned with the drop opening 31. The top planar surface 22a1 may be parallel to the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30. By designing a top plane 22a1 and seal 65, seal 65 can be accurately and reliably aligned with projection 22 a. And when the turntable 20 rotates relative to the base 30, the sealing member 65 transversely slides across the top plane 22a1, so that the frictional resistance between the top plane 22a1 and the sealing member 65 is small, and the sealing member 65 can be ensured to be in sealing alignment with the protrusion 22a, and the relative rotation between the turntable 20 and the base 30 is not influenced.

More specifically, with continued reference to FIG. 10a, protrusion 22a may be flared, and flared boss 22a may include an annular inner bore portion S1, and an annular flared portion S2 surrounding inner bore portion S1, inner bore portion S1 being located inside top plane 22a1, and outer bore portion S2 being located outside 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 S2 extends from the top planar surface 22a1 to engage the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30 and the height of the projection of the flaring S2 decreases in a direction radially outward of the feed opening 22. In some embodiments, the inner hole portion S1 is configured as a resilient sealing ring of the protrusion 22a, and may be adhered to the inner side wall 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 end of the flaring portion S2 close to the top plane 22a1 has the highest protrusion height 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 flared protrusion 22a is a flared protrusion S2 extending from the top plane 22a1 to the outer surface of the bottom of the turntable 20, and has a gradually increasing annular radius of its cross section.

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 disposed annular connecting portions S21, and a plurality of annular connecting portions S21 are connected and arranged in a step-like manner radially outward of the charging port 22. The annular connecting portions S21 are connected in series to form a corrugated shape, and after the protruding portion 22a is aligned with the sealing member 65, since the flared portion S2 is corrugated, the flared portion S2 can axially compress the sealing member 65 in a deformation direction defined by the corrugations, and is not prone to tilt or deflect in the 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 4.5 MM. 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.

To facilitate visual demonstration of the rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30, the loading port 22 is switched between an aligned state and a misaligned state, as shown in fig. 19a to 19eFig. 10b shows a top view of the bottom surface of the turntable 20, and a plurality of blanking ports 31 provided on the base 30 are schematically shown. When any one of a plurality of first curves "- - - -" drawn in order to visually represent the positional relationship of the plurality of charging openings 22 (or the positional relationship of the emptying positions 122) on the discharging turntable 20 in the figure is overlapped with any one of a plurality of second curves "- - - - - - -" drawn in order to represent 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 overlapped 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, see FIG. 19b, which shows a first curve l₁And a second curve l₂The overlap condition may indicate that the material inlet 222 on the turntable is aligned with the material outlet 312 on the base; wherein the first curve l is shown in FIG. 19b ₁And a second curve l₂Slightly offset, for the purpose of indicating the first curve l₁And a 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 may be further disposed on the turntable 20, and correspondingly, a sensing part 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, and is not limited herein.

In the specific setting, the setting position of the sensing member 39 on the base 30 and the setting 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 predetermined position relationship between the sensing element and the triggering element, 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. Fig. 19a shows a schematic view of the turntable 20 when positioned to the reference position. For a specific implementation process of positioning the turntable to the reference position, reference may be made to relevant contents in the following embodiments.

Here, it should be added that: the sensing element and the triggering element are arranged in the above manner, in other embodiments, the sensing element may be arranged on the turntable 20, and the triggering element may be arranged on the base 30, as long as the position signals of the two are ensured to be changed, and the embodiment does not limit the specific arrangement position and form of the sensing element and the triggering element. The sensing part and the triggering part can be realized by the following specific steps: for example, the sensing member may be a microswitch and the triggering member may be a protrusion. The micro-gap switch is connected with the controller, when carousel 20 is rotatory for base 30, the arch also can be along with carousel 20 is rotatory, when the arch is rotatory to the position that corresponds with micro-gap switch, can trigger micro-gap switch, and micro-gap switch sends the sensing signal to the controller this moment, for example current signal, and the controller is fixed a position the carousel to the reference position according to detecting sensing signal. For another example, the sensing element may be a hall element and the triggering element may be a magnetic sensing element. When the turntable 20 rotates relative to the base 30, the sensing signal between the magnetic sensing element and the hall element changes continuously, and at this time, the hall element sends a sensing signal, such as a current signal, to the controller; the controller positions the turntable at a reference position according to the detected sensing signal. In addition to the above-mentioned forms, the sensing element and the triggering element may also include different embodiments such as an optoelectronic switch and a reflective plate, an infrared sensor and a protrusion, which will not be described in detail herein, and those skilled in the art can flexibly select the embodiments as long as the triggering element and the sensing element can generate a sensing signal when the turntable 20 rotates. In this embodiment, it is preferable to use a hall element as the sensing element and a magnetic sensing element as the triggering element.

Further, after the turntable 20 is positioned at the reference position, before the automatic feeding function is realized by using the feeding device, the seasoning information stored in each material bottle respectively communicated with the plurality of feeding ports on the turntable 20 generally needs to be obtained, so as to provide data support for the subsequent automatic feeding function.

In specific implementation, the seasoning information stored in the plurality of material bottles can be acquired by arranging different separating cavities on the turntable 20 and inserting each separating cavity into one fixed material bottle in a matching manner. For example, referring to fig. 9, 10b and 19a to 19e, 5 different partitioned cavities 21 are provided on the turntable 20, and the seasonings stored in the material bottles which are fixedly inserted into the 5 different partitioned cavities 21 respectively may be edible oil, salt, light soy sauce, soy sauce and clear water clockwise with the partitioned cavity 21a as a base point. That is, the seasonings stored in the material bottles which are fixedly inserted into the material bottles respectively with 5 different material inlets 121 clockwise by taking the material inlet 222 as a base point are edible oil, salt, light soy sauce, soy sauce and clear water. The corresponding insertion relationship between the fixed charging opening and the material bottle and the seasoning information stored in the corresponding material bottle are prestored in a corresponding memory for calling when needed, so that the seasoning information stored in the plurality of material bottles 11 on the rotating disc 20 can be obtained.

Alternatively, a data reader-writer may be disposed on the base 30, a corresponding electronic tag may be disposed on each material bottle 11, and the seasoning information stored in the plurality of material bottles may be obtained by reading the electronic tag on the material bottle 11 through the data code reader. In specific implementation, the data code reader may be, but is not limited to, a code reader (such as an NFC code reader), a radio frequency identification reader, and the like, and the data code reader may be disposed at a reference position, such as an inner side wall of the blanking port 222, and may also be disposed at other positions, which is not limited herein. Accordingly, the electronic tag may be an NFC tag, and the electronic tag may be disposed on an inner side wall of a discharge port of, but not limited to, a material bottle. The specific setting positions of the data code reader and the electronic tag are not specifically limited in this embodiment, as long as the data code reader can read the corresponding electronic tag. The arrangement positions of the data code reader and the electronic tag are not specifically shown in the drawings.

As shown in fig. 19a, after the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position, based on the pre-stored positional relationship of the material inlets of the respective partitioned cavities on the turntable 20 and the relative positional relationship of the arranged data code readers with respect to the reference setting, the turntable can be controlled to rotate in a certain rotation direction (e.g., counterclockwise or clockwise) so as to sequentially rotate the plurality of material bottles inserted on the turntable to the position of the data code reader, and the data code reader is used to sequentially read the electronic tag of each material bottle, thereby obtaining the seasoning information stored in each of the plurality of material bottles. For example, referring to fig. 19a, assuming that the data code reader is arranged at the position of the blanking port 312, the turntable 20 can be controlled to rotate 95 ° (i.e. 56.25 ° +56.25 ° +32.5 ° -50 °) in a counterclockwise direction, so that the material loading port 222 is aligned with the blanking port 312, the data code reader reads the electronic tag on the material bottle communicated with the material loading port 222, the reading completion port can store the read data information in the corresponding memory in association with the material loading port 222, and simultaneously send a feedback notice of the completion of reading to the controller; the controller, upon receiving the feedback notification, may control the turntable 20 to rotate counterclockwise by 62.5 ° (i.e. 31.25 ° +31.25 °) again, so that the material inlet 121b is aligned with the material dropping port 312, so as to read the electronic tag on the material bottle 11 communicated with the material inlet 121b, and so on until the seasoning information stored in the material bottles communicated with the material inlets on the turntable respectively is read.

In this embodiment, the way of acquiring the seasoning information stored in the plurality of material bottles is also not particularly limited. In a preferred mode of this embodiment, the first mode is preferably selected, that is, the seasoning information stored in each of the multiple material bottles is acquired in a manner that each of the separation chambers is adapted to and inserted into one of the fixed material bottles.

It can be seen from above that, when using feeding device to realize automatic material conveying, generally need fix a position the carousel in the reference position earlier to acquire the condiment information that the storage bottle of each charge door intercommunication on the carousel was deposited, provide data support for follow-up realization automatic material conveying function.

It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the seasoning to be added to the cooking container by the charging device, the seasoning in each of the plurality of material bottles 11 is in a liquid form. For the seasonings in non-liquid form, all the seasonings can be added with water to form liquid to be filled into corresponding material bottles, for example, edible salt can be added with water to form salt water to be filled into corresponding material bottles; solid seasonings such as ginger, garlic, pepper and the like can be ground into powder to be mixed with water to form mixed seasonings to be filled into corresponding seasoning bottles and the like.

In addition, the above-described charging device may further include some other basic components besides the above-described components, such as a controller for controlling the rotation of the turntable, controlling the feeding of the material bottles in the material bottles, and the like, and the detailed description of the controller will be given in the following. For another example, the memory is used for storing one or more computer instructions for the controller to call, and may also be used for storing some data information, such as the positional relationship among the plurality of material inlets 22 on the turntable 20, the positional relationship among the plurality of emptying positions 122, the positional relationship among the plurality of material outlets 31 on the base 30, the seasoning information stored in the material bottles communicated with the material inlets 22, the corresponding relationship between the material outlets 31 and the seasonings, and the like, where the data stored in the memory may provide data support for the controller to implement the logic functions of the control method, the material charging method, and the like provided in each implementation of the present application.

It should be noted that: the positional relationship between the emptying positions 122 may not be stored in the memory, and when the emptying positions 122 need to be utilized, the corresponding emptying positions 122 may be determined directly according to the positional relationship between the plurality of feed ports 22. For example, referring to fig. 19c, a corresponding emptying position is disposed at the middle position between every two adjacent material inlets, so that when a target seasoning is completely fed through the corresponding target material outlet, the corresponding emptying position can be directly determined according to the position relationship between the corresponding material bottle of the target seasoning and the adjacent material bottle, so as to rotate the emptying position to the position aligned with the target material outlet. Specifically, for example, as shown in fig. 19b, after the seasoning in the material bottle communicated with the feeding port 222 is fed through the blanking port 312, the position of the emptying position located between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 221b adjacent to the feeding port can be determined directly based on the positional relationship between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port, so that the emptying position located between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 221 is rotated to the position aligned with the blanking port 312, so that the feeding port 222 and the blanking port 311 are misaligned to implement the emptying operation, and the specific implementation process can be referred to in the following embodiments.

104. And controlling the second driving unit to continue to act so as to empty the residual target seasoning in the conveying pipeline by the external air.

In specific implementation, referring to fig. 1a, fig. 2 and fig. 7a to fig. 7b, the first driving unit mentioned in the above 101 to 104 may refer to a driving member 83 disposed in the cooking apparatus, specifically, the driving member 83 may be disposed inside the base 30 of the feeding device 1000, and the base 30 is rotatably connected to the turntable 20 through the driving member 83; the base 30 is provided with a plurality of blanking ports 31, and when the driving member 83 is controlled to rotate, the rotating disc 20 can be driven to rotate, so that the material bottles 11 inserted on the rotating disc 20 are driven to move, and the discharge ports of the material bottles 11 are aligned with the corresponding blanking ports 31. The second driving unit may refer to material transfer pumps 84 provided in the cooking apparatus, one material transfer pump 84 corresponding to one blanking port 31; when the discharge port of a material bottle 11 is aligned with the corresponding blanking port 31, the material delivery pump 84 is controlled to be started, the material delivery pump 84 starts to act to enable the space corresponding to the blanking port 31 to generate negative pressure, and the one-way valve at the discharge port of the material bottle 11 can be opened due to the action of the negative pressure, so that the seasonings in the material bottle 11 can be fed into the cooking container through the blanking port 31 and the corresponding material delivery pipeline. When the discharge port of a material bottle 11 is dislocated with the corresponding blanking port 31, since the blanking port 31 and the bottom of the rotary table 20 have a gap space, external air can enter the blanking port 31 through the gap space, and in this state, the action of the material delivery pump 84 is controlled to drive the circulation of the external air; the emptying of the residual seasonings in the blanking port 31 and the conveying pipeline can be realized under the driving of the external air flow. For the details of the driving member 83 and the material-transporting pump 84, reference is made to the above description, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In an implementation solution, the step 101 of controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the position of the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle to align with the position of the target discharging port may specifically include:

1011. acquiring related information of a target seasoning;

1012. and controlling the first driving unit to rotate based on the related information so as to drive the discharge hole of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to align with the target blanking hole.

In practical applications, in a specific application scenario, such as the cooking application scenario shown in fig. 1a, a digital menu is generally 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) communicatively connected to the main body 2000, so that a user can select the digital menu 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 the digital menu of a dish 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 can obtain the relevant information of the target flavoring by the following method: responding to a selection operation triggered by a user through an interactive interface, and acquiring data contents corresponding to dishes to be cooked by the user according to the selection operation; and determining the 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 seasoning, the required amount of the seasoning to be put in, the putting time of the seasoning 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 and volume; the seasoning throwing 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 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 in accordance with 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 throwing 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 of the obtained target seasoning, a target discharging port dedicated for throwing the target seasoning is selected from the plurality of discharging ports by combining the correspondence between the plurality of discharging ports on the pre-stored turntable and the seasoning category; or, based on the acquired identification 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, by combining 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), the purpose that the target seasoning corresponds to the material bottle can be achieved by controlling the rotation of the turntable, so that the position of the discharging port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned with the position of the target blanking port, and the purpose that the target seasoning is fed through the target blanking port is achieved.

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

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;

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 "selecting a blanking port dedicated to dropping the seasoning of the category from the plurality of blanking ports as the target blanking port based on the category to which the target seasoning belongs" may specifically 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 plan 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.

In 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 acquired 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 is made to the above-mentioned 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.

				....	....	....	....

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 blanking port may specifically include:

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

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

a23, acquiring 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 drop port 312 when the carousel 20 is in the current position. In addition, referring to fig. 10b, 12b and 19a, the trigger 123 and the sensing element 39 are set at the reference position, and when the turntable 20 is positioned at the reference position, the trigger 123 on the turntable is aligned with the first blanking 311 (as shown in fig. 19a), where the setting describes the positional relationship between each feeding port, each emptying position and the reference position (i.e. the position of the trigger 123) (or the positional relationship between each blanking port on the base and the reference position) on the turntable in the following manner: 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, port 121e on the turntable is angled at 32.5 in a first direction (e.g., clockwise) from the reference position and port 121d is angled at-62.5 (i.e., -15 to 47.5) in a second direction (e.g., counterclockwise) from the reference position.

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 included angle between the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e., the trigger 123 is located) is 176.25 ° (i.e., 31.25 ° +56.25 ° +56.25 ° +32.5 °), and the included angle between the second blanking opening 312 aligned with the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e., the first blanking opening 311 is located) is 50 °; in addition, assuming that the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle to be currently dispensed is communicated with the dispensing port 121c, and the first drop port 311 is used for dispensing the target seasoning to be currently dispensed, an angle between the target seasoning corresponding bottle (i.e. the dispensing port 121c) 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 angle between the target drop port and a corresponding position of the reference position (i.e. the first drop port 311) is 0 °, so that a positive angle between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and a corresponding position of the target drop port along the first direction is 126.25 ° (i.e. 252.5 ° -176.25 ° + (50 ° -0) is calculated, that it is required to control the rotary table 20 to rotate 126.25 ° along the second direction (e. counterclockwise direction) to align the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the position of the target drop port, thus, the target seasoning can be fed through the corresponding target blanking port. Similarly, a negative included angle between the corresponding position of the target seasoning bottle and the corresponding position of the target blanking port along the second direction can be calculated, and the negative included angle indicates that the corresponding position of the target seasoning bottle and the target blanking port can be corresponded by controlling the turntable 20 along the first 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, based on the determined second relative position relationship, a corresponding control command may be generated; 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 rotating 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 rotating direction, and the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is aligned to 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: a second included angle between the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target blanking corresponding position is 126.25 °, and the second rotating direction is counterclockwise, then the driving element 83 rotates 126.25 ° in the counterclockwise direction by driving the turntable 20 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, thereby aligning the discharge port of the material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with 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, referring to fig. 19d, continuing with the above example, after the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is communicated with the feeding port 121c on the turntable 20 and the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is aligned with the target blanking port (i.e. the first blanking port 311 shown in the figure), the feeding port 121c and the first blanking 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.

Furthermore, when the corresponding second driving unit is controlled to act, whether the time of the second driving unit acts 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 discharge hole of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is closed, and the 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 target seasoning feeding.

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 in the case that the relevant information does not include the seasoning throwing time, the seasoning throwing time may be calculated based on the required throwing amount of the seasoning in the relevant information and the operating power of the second driving unit, for example, the required throwing amount of the seasoning is 6 g, 2 g of seasoning may be added into the cooking container by the second driving unit every 1 second, and only the duration time required for obtaining the process of throwing the seasoning is calculated to be 3 seconds, that is, the second driving unit needs to operate for 3 seconds.

Assuming that the second time condition is that the second driving unit needs to operate for 3 seconds, taking over the above example from steps 1021 to 1022, when the time for monitoring the operation of the first material delivery pump 841 reaches 3 seconds, the controller may send a stop instruction to the first material delivery pump 841, and the first material delivery pump 841 stops operating based on the received stop instruction, accordingly, the one-way valve at the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle 11 is closed, and the target seasoning is completely fed through the first blanking port 311.

Here, it is considered that after the target seasoning is fed through the first blanking port 311, residual target seasoning may remain 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 the residual target seasoning is not processed, the feeding accuracy of the target seasoning may be affected, and if the next target seasoning is fed through the first blanking port 311 again, the target seasoning may be tainted by different seasonings. 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, 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 blanking port, and the external air enters the target blanking port, so as to use the external air to empty the target blanking port and the residual target seasoning in the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the target blanking port.

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 rotation direction and a rotation 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 at the intermediate position between the charging port 121c and the charging port 121d is the evacuation position schematically marked.

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 in and the corresponding target blanking port can be determined according to the principle that the minimum rotation angle is required when the driving turntable 20 rotates to align the corresponding material bottle of the next target seasoning to be thrown in and the corresponding target blanking port. Specifically, for example, still referring to fig. 19d and taking the example of steps 1023 to 1024, assuming that the next target seasoning to be dosed is connected to the feeding port 121b corresponding to the material bottle to be dosed through the first blanking port 311, the rotating disc is controlled to rotate clockwise only 45 ° (i.e. 22.5 ° +22.5 °) to align the feeding port 121b with the first blanking port 311, and the rotating disc is controlled to rotate counterclockwise to align the feeding port 121b with the first blanking port 311 by a rotation angle greater than 45 °, wherein the first rotation direction is determined to be clockwise. 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 the above 1032, 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 22.5 ° clockwise, 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 position of the discharge opening of the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle is misaligned with the target blanking opening (i.e. the first blanking opening 311).

After the positions of the target seasonings corresponding to the discharge port of the material bottle and the target blanking port are staggered, a gap space is formed between the target blanking port and the bottom of the turntable due to the existence of a distance, and the gap space forms a clean channel, so that external air can flow into the corresponding target blanking port, and residual target seasonings 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 hole of the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle is staggered with the target blanking hole, the external air enters the target blanking hole, and the second driving unit corresponding to the target blanking hole is further controlled to act again, so that the external air is used for emptying the target blanking hole 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, to position the turntable to the reference position when automatic charging is performed using the charging device provided in the present embodiment, or to reset the turntable to the reference position when an error occurs in program delivery, or the like. 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 by 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, during the process of executing the automatic feeding logic by the cooking equipment, the user performs an initialization operation triggered by the error notification information received by the bit 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 present embodiment does not specifically limit the manner of triggering the reset instruction.

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 disposed on the turntable to rotate, so as to detect a 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 element (i.e., the triggering element 123 shown in the figures), and the base 30 is provided with a hall element (i.e., the triggering element 39 shown in the figures).

For example, if the magnetic sensor and the hall element are both arranged at the reference position, in this arrangement, 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 decrease of the sensing signal is detected N times in succession 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 shows a schematic diagram of the result of positioning the turntable 20 to the reference position in the above-described arrangement.

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. 4) disposed on the turntable 20 is 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 sensor 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. When the controller detects that the variation state of the induction signal between the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element is changed in the process of controlling the first driving unit to work to drive the rotary disc to rotate anticlockwise, the controller determines that the rotary disc is rotated to the position with the strongest induction signal, but the position is not the reference position, and the included angle between the reference position and the position with the strongest induction signal is 95 degrees (namely 145-50 degrees), so that the controller is required to continuously control the first driving unit to drive the rotary disc to rotate anticlockwise for 95 degrees and then stop to position the rotary disc to the reference position.

Based on the above example, it can be seen that, in the step 107, "positioning the reference position according to the detected sensing signal" may be implemented in any one of the following manners:

a11, when the change state of the induction signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to stop rotating so as to be positioned to a reference position; or

A12, when the change state of the induction signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to drive to continue rotating so as to drive the trigger piece to rotate by a specified angle, so as to position the trigger piece to a 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 turntable to the reference position is performed, there is also a case where: 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 condition that the sensing signal between the sensing element and the triggering element is not changed after M consecutive detections, and the like, which is not limited herein.

In conclusion, the control flow corresponding to the control method provided by the embodiment 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 position of a material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned with the position of a target blanking port, controlling the working time required by a second driving unit (such as a peristaltic pump) corresponding to the target blanking port according to the required feeding amount of the target seasoning, and controlling the second driving unit to work so as to feed the target seasoning 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. Therefore, the target seasonings are fed through the target blanking port special for feeding the target seasonings in the embodiment, so that the different types of seasonings are separately fed, for example, the oil and the water can be separated from each other, the oil is prevented from being polluted by the water, or the sweet seasonings and the salty seasonings can be separated from each other, and the mixture of the 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 feeding port 222, the feeding port 121b, the feeding port 121c, the feeding port 121d and the feeding port 121 on the turntable 20 are marked as seasoning 1, seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5, and assuming that the second blanking port 312 is dedicated for the dispensing of the seasoning 1, the first blanking port 311 is used for the dispensing of the seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5. As shown in fig. 7a and fig. 7b, the second driving unit corresponding to the second blanking port 312 is set as a second material conveying pump 842 (abbreviated as material conveying pump 842), and the second driving unit corresponding to the first blanking port 311 is set as a first material conveying pump 841 (abbreviated as material conveying pump 841).

Case 2: the materials are added out of order, namely not in the order of the seasonings on the rotating disc. In particular, the amount of the solvent to be used,

for example, assuming that the turntable is at the reference position (as shown in fig. 19 a), and the target seasonings to be thrown are seasonings 3 and 2 in turn, 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 for 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 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 3 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.

Based on this, in the above example, after the seasoning 3 feeding logic through the first blanking port 311 is executed, 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, the feed delivery pump 841 is controlled to work 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 the 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 external air is used for emptying the first blanking port 311 and the residual seasoning 2 in the corresponding material conveying pipeline;

and controlling the first driving unit to rotate so as to drive the turntable to rotate counterclockwise for a certain angle continuously, so that the turntable returns to the reference position.
