具体实施方式
在下面的详细描述中，参考了构成本申请组成部分的附图。在附图中，除非上下文另有说明，相同的符号表示相同的组成部分。详细描述、附图和权利要求书中描述的说明性实施方式并非旨在限定。在不偏离本申请的主题的精神或范围的情况下，可以采用其他实施方式，并且可以做出其他变化。可以理解，能够对本申请中一般性描述的、在附图中图解说明的本申请内容的各个方面进行多种不同构成的配置、替换、组合，设计，而所有这些都明确地构成本申请内容的一部分。
图1示出了根据本申请实施例的烹调设备10的示意图。
如图1所示，该烹调设备10主要包括食材投放装置100、烹调单元200、液体料投料装置300。其中，食材投放装置100可接收并存储食材，食材投放装置100位于烹调单元200上方，食材投放装置100与烹调单元200之间通过投料口140(图2)彼此连通，食材投放装置100可自动地通过投料口140将食材投入位于其下方的烹调单元200中，以进行烹调操作，有关食材投放装置100的具体结构和效果将在下文详述。烹调单元200接收来自食材投放装置100的食材并根据预定程序对食材进行烹调处理而最终得到菜肴。液体料投放装置300用于在烹调过程中向烹调单元200输送液体调料。食材投放装置100、烹调单元200、液体料投料装置300均可与一控制器(未示出)通信连接并由控制器控制。烹调设备10还包括通信模块，通信模块可以与服务器通信，以从服务器接收菜谱。控制器可以获取并存储食材投放装置100中存储的食材信息。控制器根据获取到的菜谱和食材信息，控制食材投放装置100根据预定的烹调程序向烹调单元200投放所需的食材和调料，并且控制烹调单元200对接收到的食材进行处理以最终得到预定的菜肴。
图2示出了根据本申请一些实施例的食材投放装置100的示意图。如图2所示，食材投放装置100包括旋转机构110。至少一个储料盒120设置在旋转机构110的侧面上。在图2所示的实施方式中，旋转机构110构造成六棱柱形，在其侧面可拆卸地设置有多个储料盒120，用以接收并存储食材。在一具体实施例中，构造成六棱柱形的旋转机构110的一个侧面上并列地叠置挂载两组尺寸较小的辅料储料盒120，用于盛放辅料，例如葱、姜、蒜、辣椒等，每列包括5个叠置的辅料储料盒120。六棱柱的其余五个侧面则分别挂载一组共4个叠置的储料盒120，用于盛放主料，例如肉、蔬菜等。
本领域技术人员可以预见，可根据实际需求调整储料盒120及辅料储料盒120的数量和叠置方式。例如，在一些实施例中，在同一组叠置的储料盒120中可以放置相同的食材。在另一些实施例中，可以在同一组叠置的储料盒120中放置不同的食材，例如按照将要烹调的菜肴的先后顺序而自下而上地在相应的储料盒120中存放每个菜肴所需的食材。
旋转机构110的形状不限于六棱柱，还可以有其他的形状，例如圆柱形、多棱柱(例如三棱柱、四棱柱等)、或其他规则或不规则的形状。旋转机构110的侧面上所搭载的每组辅料储料盒120和储料盒120的层数也不限于图2所示的数量，可以搭载更多或更少层，例如一层、两层、三层、四层、五层、六层等。
在图2所示的实施例中，旋转机构110的侧面设有大致水滴形的卡槽111，储料盒120的侧壁上具有与之匹配的突出物121(图4C)，所述突出物121接合到卡槽中，从而将储 料盒120可拆卸地安装至旋转机构110的侧面。突出物121可以采用任何合适的形状，例如图4C所示的具有加粗自由端的圆柱销、多棱柱销等。当然，卡槽111和突出物121的形状还可以有其他变形。例如，可以将卡槽111设置为大致平行于旋转机构110的轴线延伸的长形槽，储料盒120背侧的突出物121可配合到长形槽中，从而将储料盒120固定在旋转机构110的侧面上。
旋转机构110可以由电机(图中未示出)驱动旋转，从而将存储有所需食材的储料盒120从偏离投料口140的非投料位置旋转到与投料口140对准的投料位置，以便将其中所存储的食材通过投料口140投入烹调单元200中。在一些实施例中，旋转机构110由步进电机驱动，步进电机能够精确控制旋转机构110的旋转角度。烹调设备10的控制器可与步进电机通信连接，控制步进电机将旋转机构110旋转到所需的位置，并记忆该位置。更进一步的，在一些实施例中，控制器能够根据已储存的各储料盒120中所盛放的食材和辅料储料盒120中盛放的辅料，根据就近原则来确定旋转机构110的旋转方向(顺时针方向或逆时针方向)和旋转角度，从而用最少的时间将存储所需食材的储料盒120/辅料储料盒120旋转到投料口140上方(即投料位置)，以提高操作效率。
图4A-4C示出了根据本申请一些实施例的储料盒120的示意图。如图4A所示，储料盒120竖直地堆叠放置。如图4B所示，储料盒120的底部边缘向内略微收缩，形成一缩颈部，该缩颈部的尺寸和形状适于被紧邻该储料盒120下方的另一储料盒120的顶部边缘接纳，从而使叠置的多个储料盒120能够在水平方向上保持其相对位置。如图4C所示，储料盒120在附接至旋转机构110的侧壁上设置有突出物121，突出物121构造成具有大致T形纵截面的圆柱销。
在一些实施例中，储料盒120可以选择任何适于盛放食材的材料来制造，例如金属、塑料、陶瓷、玻璃或其组合等。在一些实施例中，储料盒120可以由透明材料(例如透明塑料、玻璃)制成。储料盒120的底部设有隔板122，用于可释放地支撑储料盒120内存放的食材，隔板122可以选择与储料盒120相同或不相同的材料来制造，例如金属、塑料、陶瓷、玻璃或其组合等。在一些实施例中，隔板122可以由透明材料(例如透明塑料、玻璃)制成。在一些实施例中，接触食材的储料盒120内侧表面和隔板122的上表面可设置若干个小凸起，防止食材沾附于这些表面上。小凸起可以构造成任何合适的形状，例如半球形、凸台形、棱锥形等。
在图4A-4C所示的实施例中，隔板122的一端被铰接在储料盒120底部，例如铰接在储料盒120的靠近旋转机构110的侧壁底部，隔板122可绕铰接轴枢转。隔板122的自由端可被隔板支撑构件132(图5A)支撑而使得隔板122大致水平延伸，即处于阻止食材落下的阻挡位置，此时隔板122可支撑储料盒120内存放的食材。当隔板支撑构件132被移动而不再支撑隔板122的自由端时，隔板122则因重力作用而向下枢转至释放位置，从而允许存储在储料盒120内的食材从储料盒120中落下。在另一些实施例中，隔板122也可以其他方式连接储料盒120并以其他的运动方式在释放位置和阻挡位置之间切换。例如，可以在储料盒120底部设置滑轨，隔板122可沿着该滑轨被平移抽出和推入储料盒120。
如图4B所示，在隔板122运动至释放位置时，隔板122的自由端在储料盒120底部下方一定距离。为了避免在释放位置的最下层储料盒120的隔板122的自由端妨碍旋转机构110旋转，可选择将储料盒120整体抬高，使得最下层储料盒120的隔板122在被释放时其自由端略高于投料口140。
在一些实施例中，可在最下一层储料盒120下方设置一个中空筒状的收束器(图中未示出)，用于引导食材的下落方向、限制食材散落的范围，从而降低食材散落到投料口140之外的可能性。该收束器顶部的尺寸和形状设置为可接纳储料盒120，并且收束器的高度设置为可以在紧邻收束器的储料盒120的隔板122释放时接纳该隔板122。
图13A-13B示出了根据本申请变形例的储料盒120’的示意图。如图13A所示，处于同一高度的多个(例如，四个)储料盒120’被构造成整体部件124，四个储料盒120’所形成的整体部件的中心设置有与旋转机构110配合的孔127。储料盒120的底部各自具有可分别打开的隔板122。在一些实施例中，如图13A所示，四个储料盒包括两个较大的储料盒120’和两个较小的储料盒120’，其中分别填装不同的食材。该变形例的储料盒120’的其余设置(例如制造材料、表面凸起和与储料盒120匹配的隔板122等)与前述实施例类似，在此不再赘述。通过将储料盒120’构造成整体部件，可以一次性把多个(例如四个)储料盒120’装载到旋转机构110上，这种设置有利于更快捷高效地装填和组织食材，例如可以在多个储料盒120’形成的整体部件中填装用于一道菜的食材。
图14A-14D示出了根据本申请另一变形例的集成储料盒125和用于接纳集成储料盒125的储料盒接纳装置126的示意图。集成储料盒125包括用于存放食材的至少两个料穴120”。例如，图14A中，集成储料盒125包括两个较大的料穴120”和两个较小的料穴120”。在储料盒接纳装置126被翻转的状态下，集成储料盒125可相对于储料盒接纳装置126的 顶部126T滑动而装入储料盒接纳装置126，因此储料盒接纳装置126可拆卸地接纳集成储料盒125。储料盒接纳装置126的底部126B设置有与集成储料盒125的料穴120”相对应的隔板122。当集成储料盒125被安装到储料盒接纳装置126中时，料穴120”的开口朝向对应的隔板122并与之对齐，隔板122可被分别操作以投放对应料穴120”中的食材。
集成储料盒125可预先填装食材，并且其开口可被塑封以便存储和运输。相应地，在将集成储料盒125插入储料盒接纳装置126之前，需要撕去封膜。储料盒接纳装置126可拆卸地安装至旋转机构110。当需要装载集成储料盒125时，如图14A所示，先翻转从旋转机构110拆卸下的储料盒接纳装置126，使储料盒接纳装置126的底部126B朝上。然后如图14B所示，使开口朝上的集成储料盒125相对于储料盒接纳装置126的顶部126T滑动而将其装入储料盒接纳装置126内，再使集成储料盒125与储料盒接纳装置126一起翻转，达到如图14D所示的状态，此时集成储料盒125内的食材被储料盒接纳装置126的隔板122支撑，可将处于组合状态的储料盒接纳装置126和集成储料盒125一起安装到旋转机构110上，储料盒接纳装置126可被旋转机构110驱动而绕旋转轴线旋转，使得集成储料盒125中预定的一个料穴120”从偏离投料口140的非投料位置旋转到与投料口140对齐的投料位置，并通过操作隔板122而进行投料操作。该变形例的集成储料盒125的其余设置(例如制造材料、表面凸起和与储料盒125匹配的隔板122等)与前述实施例中的储料盒120类似，在此不再赘述。通过这样的设置，可以采用预装的集成储料盒，这些预装的集成储料盒125可以由第三方提供，减轻了烹调设备用户配菜的负担。集成储料盒125可以是一次性的，以防止食材污染。
回到图2，食材投放装置100还包括用于促动隔板122从阻挡位置运动至释放位置的隔板促动装置130。隔板促动装置130包括设置在储料盒120底部的隔板支撑构件132，以及可与隔板支撑件132结合并促动隔板支撑件132的驱动件133。隔板支撑构件132被配置成可在支撑隔板122的自由端的第一位置(图5A)和释放隔板122的自由端的第二位置(图5B)之间切换。驱动件133被配置成驱动隔板支撑构件132从所述第一位置运动到所述第二位置。隔板促动装置130还可包括引导驱动件133竖直运动的导轨131。导轨131沿竖直方向大致平行于旋转机构110的轴线设置，驱动件133可沿导轨131上下运动。
图5A和5B分别示出了隔板支撑构件132和驱动件133尚未结合在一起时和已经结合在一起时的剖视图。其中在图5A中，隔板122处在阻挡位置；而在图5B中，隔板122处在释放位置。
如图5A所示，驱动件133包括可沿导轨131运动的滑动部分1330、可相对于滑动部分1330伸缩的杆状构件1331、紧固件1332以及电磁铁1333。滑动部分1330与导轨131机械配合并耦接到电机，能够由电机驱动而沿着导轨131上下滑动。杆状构件1331能够伸缩而朝向或远离旋转机构110运动。
在一些实施例中，杆状构件1331和滑动部分1330之间连接有第一弹性构件(如压缩弹簧，图中未示出)，第一弹性构件向杆状构件1331施加朝向旋转机构110的偏置力，使杆状构件1331朝向旋转机构110运动至贴近隔板支撑构件132的位置(图5B)。滑动部分1330和杆状构件1331可配置为推拉式电磁铁，即滑动部分1330和杆状构件1331的其中一个配置为电磁铁，另一个配置为具有导磁性。当电磁铁通电时，滑动部分1330和杆状构件1331之间的磁力使杆状构件1331远离旋转机构110运动(图5A)。应当注意，杆状构件1331和滑动部分1330之间的连接方式和相对运动方式并不限于此，在另一些实施例中，杆状构件1331能够以液压、气动、齿轮-齿条等方式实现伸缩运动。
紧固件1332与电磁铁1333通过焊接、铆接或其他可行方式固定连接在一起，紧固件1332环绕杆状构件1331，并通过螺丝、铆钉等锁紧方式使紧固件1332的内表面紧压杆状构件1331的外表面，使紧固件1332与杆状构件1331相连，从而使得紧固件1332和电磁铁1333能够随着杆状构件1331而朝向或远离旋转机构110运动。在一些实施例中，可以不使用紧固件1332，而是在杆状构件1331的头端设置外螺纹，并在电磁铁1333的内部设置与外螺纹相配合的内螺纹，通过该配合能够使杆状构件1331和电磁铁1333直接固定，且这种结构更加紧凑。
隔板支撑构件132通过第二弹性构件连接到储料盒120。具体地，参照图5A，隔板支撑构件132包括导磁构件1321和插销1322，导磁构件1321和插销1322机械连接，插销1322可滑动地设置在储料盒120底部的凸缘123内，第二弹性构件(如压缩弹簧，图中未示出)也设置在凸缘123内，并对插销施加偏置力，使得插销1322保持在支撑隔板122的自由端的第一位置，从而支撑着隔板122处在阻挡食材下落的阻挡位置。
进一步地，如图5B所示，当驱动件133的杆状构件1331沿图中箭头A方向运动时，带动驱动件133前端的电磁铁1333朝向隔板支撑构件132运动，向电磁铁1333通电，使电磁铁1333与插销1322后端的导磁构件1321之间磁性连接。紧接着，杆状构件1331稍向后缩回，带动电磁铁1333及导磁构件1321沿箭头B方向运动，进而带动插销1322克服第二弹性构件的偏置力而向后运动，从而插销1322的端部不再支撑隔板122的自由端， 隔板122因此在重力作用下绕其铰接轴枢转到释放位置。在完成打开隔板122的操作后，可对电磁铁1333断电，使电磁铁1333与导磁构件1321断开连接，并使杆状构件1331远离旋转机构110运动到其初始位置，等待下一次操作。
在另一些实施例中，驱动件133和隔板支撑构件132可以通过机械结构彼此配合。具体地，驱动件133的前端具有凸起，隔板支撑构件132具有所述凸起配合的凹槽。驱动件133前端的凸起伸出至凹槽处时，可通过小幅度旋转或平移而使凸起与凹槽结合锁定，随后驱动件133带动隔板支撑构件132向后运动，带动插销移动至允许隔板122下落的第二位置。释放隔板122以后，凸起可沿结合锁定时相反的运动而解除与凹槽的锁定，驱动件133相对应地返回其初始位置，以便进行之后的操作。可以预见，在一些实施例中，也可以在隔板支撑构件132上设置凸起，而驱动件133的前端设置与凸起结合锁定的凹槽。
在另一些实施例中，驱动件133和隔板支撑构件132中的一个可具有钩部，另外一个相应地具有与钩部配合的拉环。钩部与拉环的配合与前述凹槽和凸起的配合相类似，在此不再赘述。
在一些实施例中，隔板支撑构件132可以设置为铰接至储料盒120底部，驱动件133带动隔板支撑构件132枢转而释放对隔板122自由端的支撑。
在一些实施例中，驱动件133由电机驱动沿导轨131运动，优选由步进电机驱动沿导轨131运动。步进电机可以与控制器通信连接，以精确控制行程，从而准确地将驱动件133移动到与所要操作的隔板支撑构件132齐平的位置。控制器还能够根据步进电机的行程确定并记忆驱动件133已经促动哪些隔板支撑构件132，从而确定哪些储料盒120中的食材已经被投放。
在另一些实施例中，在导轨131上设置与旋转机构100上可设置的最大储料盒层数相对应的传感器，并将传感器间隔设置在与各层储料盒120的隔板支撑件122对应的高度。通过这样的设置，当驱动件133移动接近对应隔板支撑件122的高度时，传感器感测到驱动件133并向控制器发送信号。控制器发送指令使驱动件133立即停止上下运动，通过这种方式，驱动件133能够根据需要移动到与所要操作的隔板支撑构件132平齐的位置。
在一些实施例中，在旋转机构110和下方的烹调单元200之间，还设置有挡板150，挡板150设置在与台面平行的轨道上，被驱动以沿着轨道在遮蔽位置和开放位置之间直线移动。图6A示出了根据本申请实施例的挡板150和接料盘160的示意图，其中挡板150 处于遮蔽位置，接料盘160处于安装状态。图6B示出了根据本申请实施例的挡板150和接料盘的示意图，其中挡板150处于开放位置，接料盘160处于拆卸状态。
如图6A所示，挡板150设置在旋转机构110和烹调单元200之间，挡板150大致为矩形，也可以是椭圆形或圆形等形状。挡板150的面积大于或等于投料口140的面积，从而可以完全遮挡住投料口140。挡板150可以被驱动而在遮蔽投料口140的遮蔽位置和露出投料口140的开放位置之间运动。具体地，在不进行投料操作时，挡板150处在遮蔽位置，用于阻止烹调时在烹调单元200中所产生的油烟经投料口140溢出扩散。在需要进行投料操作时，根据控制器的指令，如上所述，挡板150运动到开放位置而露出投料口140(如图6B所示)；旋转机构110使对应的储料盒120，120’或者料穴120”旋转至与投料口140对齐的投料位置；驱动件133移动而靠近对应的隔板支撑构件132，然后将隔板支撑构件132切换至第二位置，使隔板122运动到释放位置，食材因而从投料口140落入烹调单元200。在完成投料操作后，挡板150运动返回遮蔽位置，以阻挡油烟。
在另一些实施例中，挡板150在与台面平行的平面内旋转而在遮蔽位置和开放位置之间运动。图7A-7B示出了根据本申请一些实施例的挡板150的示意图，其中图7A中的挡板150处于遮蔽位置，图7B中的挡板150处于开放位置。
如图7A-7B所示，挡板150设置在台面上，其面积和形状能够覆盖投料口140。挡板150的一端通过垂直穿过台面的轴151固定，且挡板150可被驱动绕该轴枢转。在图7A中，挡板150处在遮蔽位置，遮蔽投料口140，防止油烟向上扩散。在图7B中，挡板150已相对于图7A中的位置绕轴151旋转180度而处在开放位置，此时投料口140露出，可以进行投料操作。通过使挡板150设置成在台面所在平面内旋转，无需在烹调单元200和食材投料装置100之间设置引导挡板150滑动的轨道结构，结构比较简单而且便于清洁。
在另外一些实施例中，挡板150可设置为绕与台面平行的轴线旋转而在遮蔽位置和开放位置之间运动。
通常而言，装填在储料盒120，120’或料穴120”中的食材通常不是完全干燥的，储料盒120，120’或料穴120”中的液体汤汁难免会经由隔板122与储料盒或料穴内壁之间的间隙向下滴落。除了液体之外，也可能有食材碎渣从所述缝隙下落。如果这些食材碎渣和液体汤汁直接滴落到下方的台面上，一方面会污染台面、不便于清洁，另一方面还可能仅投料口140进入烹调单元200而影响烹调设备的正常运行。此外，无法及时清洁的液体汤汁和食材残渣可能腐败变质，进而影响操作环境的干净与整洁，甚至可能引发食品安全问题。
针对这些问题，参考图6A-7B，在旋转机构110底部还设置有可拆卸的接料盘160，接料盘160被配置为可收集从处于非投料位置的储料盒120滴落的液体或食材碎渣。接料盘160大致为圆形并且在与投料口140对应位置处具有开口，用于让食材顺利通过，但接料盘160也可以是椭圆形、多边形或矩形等合适的形状。接料盘160能够覆盖所有处于非投料位置的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”在其上的投影面积，这样接料盘160可以承接所有非投料位置的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”滴落的液体。旋转机构110的底部可设置有长形导槽，接料盘160的内侧设置有能够平移滑入长形导槽的条状凸起。在另一些实施例中，旋转机构110的底部设有多个凸起，用于支撑接料盘160。如图6B所示，接料盘160可以手动抽出，而从旋转机构110拆卸下来并进行清洗，清洗后的接料盘160也可以很快复位。
在一些实施例中，烹调设备10还可包括食材识别装置170。图3示例性地示出了根据本申请实施例的食材投放装置100和食材识别装置170的侧视图。
如图3所示，食材识别装置170设置在台面上，用于识别储料盒120中存放的食材。食材识别装置170获取到储料盒120，120’,料穴120”中存放食材的图片后，将食材图片通过有线或无线连接传送至控制器，控制器使用图像识别算法对食材进行识别，并将识别出的食材与存储该食材的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”相关联。在一些实施例中，所使用的图像识别算法可以是基于卷积神经网络的算法。在一些实施例中，食材识别装置170包括图像识别装置，例如广角摄像头。储料盒120，120’，料穴120”可由透明材料(例如透明塑料、玻璃)制成，广角摄像头因此可以获得其前方多组叠置的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”的图片，并将包含多个储料盒内部食材的图片传送至控制器由控制器一起识别，从而提高识别效率。为了保证能够尽可能多地识别多个储料盒120，120’，料穴120”中的食材，在一些实施例中，食材识别装置170设置在旋转机构110的侧前方，高度大致与旋转机构110的顶部齐平。这样可以避免在仰视储料盒120，120’，料穴120”时，位于上方的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”中的食材被其下方储料盒120，120’，料穴120”遮挡，以便提高识别的准确率。
在一具体实施例中，控制器可对储料盒120，120’，料穴120”进行编号并记忆其位置和与食材的对应关系。例如在图2所示的实施例中，根据储料盒120位于六棱柱旋转机构110的不同侧面，可将各侧面上的储料盒叠置分别编号为A、B、C、D、E、F、F’。其中A-E为存放主料的储料盒120，分别占据旋转机构110的一个侧面，F和F’为辅料储料盒， 两者共同占据旋转机构110剩余的一个侧面。再根据储料盒120堆叠的顺序从下到上将储料盒120分别编号为A1、A2、A3、A4、B1、……F’5。通过食材识别装置170的识别，控制器可以获取到食材和储料盒120的对应关系，例如储料盒A1-A4中盛放的是鸡丁，储料盒B1-B4中盛放的是花生，而储料盒F1-F5盛放的是辣椒。
图8示出了根据本申请实施例的液体料投料装置300的示意图。如图8所示，液体料投料装置300包括壳体301、投料管路302、泵构件303。液体料投料装置300还包括液体料罐304(在图9A-9B中示出)。壳体301上设置有第一接头311，第一接头311可与位于壳体301内部的液体料罐304(图9A-图9B)上设置的第二接头341流体连通；第一接头311还与投料管路302流体连通，泵构件303连接至投料管路302，泵构件303被配置为向所述投料管路302施加压力(例如，负压)，以使所述液体料在所述投料管路302中流动并最终通向烹调单元200。在一些实施例中，液体料最终通过喷头被喷淋到烹调单元200中。
图9A-9B分别示例性地示出了图8所示液体料投料装置300的壳体301内的液体料罐304的连接状态和拆卸状态的示意图。在一些实施例中，液体料罐304位于壳体301内部，用于盛放液体料。液体料罐304上设置有第二接头341，其与软管342连接，软管342延伸至液体料罐304的底部，用于吸取罐中的液体料，第二接头341与壳体301上的第一接头311可拆卸地连接，如图9A示出了液体料罐304通过第二接头341与第一接头311流体连通的情形，图9B示出了液体料罐304与第一接头311断开连接的情形。
图10A-10B分别示出了图9A所示的第一接头311和第二接头分341别在连接状态和断开状态下的放大示意图。
如图10A-10B所示，第二接头341设置为锥形公接头，第一接头311设置为锥形母接头，第二接头341可以被推挤而插入第一接头311并与第一接头311匹配，从而使液体料从液态料罐304依次经软管342、第二接头341、第一接头311、与第一接头311相连的投料管路302而被输送到烹调单元200。在一些实施例中，第二接头341可以是锥形母接头，而第一接头311可以是与第二接头341匹配的锥形公接头。这种锥形接头的设计使得第二接头341和第一接头311可以在保证密封的情况下方便地连接在一起和断开连接。
通过如上的设置，液体料罐304可以很方便地被拆卸，以便于重新装填液体料、更换液体料罐、或清洗液体料罐。在一些实施例中，将液体料罐304清洗干净后，向其中装填 清水，并将第二接头341与第一接头311连接，从而可以通过使清水流经整个管路的方式来清洗管路和烹调单元200。
在一些实施例中，可以通过设置液体料供料管路切换构件从水源引入清水来清洗管路。图11示出了根据本申请一些实施例的液体料供料管路切换构件305的示意图，液体料供料管路切换构件305具有两个输入管路，其中一个输入管路连接至投料管路302，另一个输入管路连接至水源，液体料供料管路切换构件305还具有输出到烹调单元200的输出管路。液体料供料管路切换构件305可以根据控制器指令，选择性地将投料管路302或水源与输出管路连通，从而使烹调单元200选择性地与液体料罐304或水源连通。具体地，在需要输送液体料时，液体料供料管路切换构件305将投料管路302和输出管路连通，从而使液体料罐304与烹调单元200流体连通，液体料罐304中的液体料可以被输送到烹调单元200。在需要清洗管路和烹调单元时，液体料供料管路切换构件305将水源和输出管路连通，从而使清水流过整个管路，以进行清洗。

图12示出了根据本申请的实施例的烹调设备10的控制器根据菜谱进行烹调的流程图。根据图12所示，烹调流程400包括如下步骤：
在步骤401中，识别储料盒120中所存放的食材，并将食材和对应储料盒120，120’，料穴120”相关联。在一些实施例中，如上所述，可以通过食材识别装置170，例如广角摄像头来识别储料盒120，120’，料穴120”中的食材，并根据旋转机构110的状态将食材和存放该食材的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”关联。在步骤402中，控制器根据获取到的菜谱信息，确定所要投放的食材和投放顺序；在步骤403中，控制器根据之前已获取的食材和储料盒120，120’，料穴120”的关联信息，指令旋转机构110将所需食材对应的储料盒120，120’，料穴120”旋转到投料位置；在步骤404中，控制器指令隔板促动装置130打开对应储料盒120，120’，料穴120”的隔板122，使食材经由投料口140落入烹调单元200；在步骤405中，控制器根据菜谱指令烹调单元对食材进行处理；在步骤406中，控制器根据菜谱指令指示液体料投料装置300向烹调单元200输送液体料，步骤406可与步骤403同时进行，也可在步骤403之前或之后进行。以上步骤可重复进行。
例如在图2所示的具体实施例中，可以利用烹调设备10制作宫保鸡丁，在开始制作前，食材识别装置170识别出食材，控制器将识别出的食材与储料盒120相关联，例如储料盒A1-A4中盛放的是鸡丁，储料盒B1-B4中盛放的是花生，而辅料储料盒F1-F5存放的是辣椒。控制器获取到宫保鸡丁的菜谱，确定其所需食材和投放的顺序是先炒鸡丁，再放辣椒，最后拌入花生。接下来，控制器指令液体料投料装置300向烹调单元200输送油， 同时根据所确定的投放信息和食材与储料盒的关联信息，指令旋转机构110将储料盒A1-A4旋转到投料口140处，并指令隔板促动装置130打开储料盒A1的隔板122，使一份鸡丁经投料口140落入烹调单元200，烹调单元200将鸡丁炒热后，控制器指示旋转机构110将储料盒F1-F5旋转到投料口140处，并指令隔板促动装置130打开储料盒F1的隔板122，使一份辣椒经投料口140落入烹调单元200，随即指令液体料投料装置300向烹调单元200输送盐液和生抽，并指令烹调单元200大火炒到粘稠干松。在此之后，控制器指令旋转机构110将储料盒B1-B4旋转到投料口140处，并指令隔板促动装置130打开储料盒B1的隔板122，使一份花生经投料口140落入烹调单元200，随后指令烹调单元200关火并搅拌均匀，一道宫保鸡丁便制作完成。
