[0003] During the cooking process of a stir-fry machine, seasonings in a bottle need to be added to the pot through a discharge pipe. The current feeding scheme usually controls the feeding based on the change in weighing weight. When the change in weighing weight reaches the target feeding amount, the feeding is determined to be complete, and then the motor is controlled to shut down and stop feeding.

[0004] However, due to delays in various components in the system, such as the delay in the weighing sampling component sampling the weighing weight, the system will not update the weight in a timely manner; the motor cannot be braked quickly, resulting in the motor not being shut down in time, and the material will continue to be discharged during the shutdown process; the negative pressure formed by the peristaltic pump takes a certain amount of time to balance to the atmospheric pressure, resulting in the seasoning in the discharge pipe not stopping circulation quickly; the above situations will cause the actual amount of seasoning added to the pot body to exceed the target amount, resulting in the addition amount not meeting expectations.

This can avoid the problem of the actual adding amount exceeding the target adding amount due to device delay, ensure the consistency between the actual adding amount and the target adding amount, improve the accuracy of adding during cooking, and ensure the reliability of the adding device.

[0052] In this application, the word "exemplary" is used to mean "serving as an example, illustration, or illustration." Any embodiment described in this application as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments. The following description is given to enable any person skilled in the art to implement and use the present application. In the following description, details are listed for the purpose of explanation. It should be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that the present application can be implemented without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not elaborated in detail to avoid obscuring the description of the present application with unnecessary details. Therefore, the present application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest scope consistent with the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0053] The present application provides a feeding control method, a feeding device, a feeding system and a cooking device, which are described in detail below.

[0054] First, the present application provides a feeding control method, the execution subject of the feeding control method can be a feeding control device, or a feeding device, cooking equipment, server equipment, physical host or user equipment (UE) and other different types of equipment that integrate the feeding control device. Among them, the feeding control device can be implemented in hardware or software, and the UE can specifically be a terminal device such as a smart phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, PDA or desktop computer.

[0055] This feeding control method can be applied to cooking appliances with cooking functions such as stir-fry machines, food processors, and cooking machines. It is used to control the feeding device to add the required seasonings to the pot body assembly of the cooking equipment during the process of cooking the target dish, so as to improve the accuracy of feeding.

[0056] The cooking device of the embodiment of the present application can be used to steam, fry, stew, and boil various ingredients to prepare different dishes, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the cooking device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The cooking device may include a pot body assembly 103, a feeding device 101 and a feeding pipe assembly 102, wherein the feeding device 101 can be used to add seasonings required for cooking to the pot body assembly 103 through the feeding pipe assembly 102, and the feeding control device can be integrated into the feeding device 101. During the cooking process, the feeding control device can control the feeding device 101 to add seasonings to the pot body assembly 103.

[0057] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2It is a structural schematic diagram of the feeding device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The feeding device 101 may include a weighing component, at least one storage container 201 and a discharge component corresponding to the storage container 201. The weighing component can be used to weigh the total weight of the storage container 201, and the discharge component can be used to discharge the seasoning stored in the corresponding storage container 201 to the feed pipe component 102, and then add the discharged seasoning to the pot body component 103 via the feed pipe component 102.

[0058] It can be understood that the storage container 201 can be a container for storing or containing cooking seasonings, which can be a material box, a material tube or a material tank, etc. The storage container 201 can be configured with a container inlet and a container outlet, and the stored seasonings can flow from the container inlet to the inner cavity of the storage container 201, that is, the containing cavity; when the cooking equipment is working, the feeding device 101 needs to provide the corresponding seasoning to the pot body of the cooking equipment, the seasoning contained in the inner cavity of the storage container 201 can flow out from the container outlet.

[0059] It is worth noting that in some application scenarios, the container inlet and container outlet of the storage container 201 can be the same port. In this case, the seasoning can flow from the port into the inner cavity of the storage container 201, and can also flow out from the port. The port setting of the storage container 201 can be determined according to the actual application scenario, and is not specifically limited here.

[0060] The seasonings stored in the storage container 201 can be liquid seasonings such as water, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, etc., or can be seasoning solutions obtained by dissolving solid seasonings such as salt, sugar, chicken essence, etc. in water. Since cooking a dish usually requires more than one seasoning, there can be more than one storage container 201 in the embodiment of the present application. The specific number of storage containers 201 can be determined based on actual application conditions and is not limited here.

[0061] The weighing assembly can be arranged on the base 207 of the feeding device, and the plurality of storage containers 201 are arranged on the weighing assembly.

[0062] Specifically, the weighing component may include a weighing sensor 204 and a tray 203. Multiple storage containers 201 may be arranged on the tray 203. The weighing sensor 204 is arranged under the tray 203 for weighing the total weight of the tray 203 and the multiple storage containers 201 on the tray 203. The weighing sensor 204 may be arranged on the base 207.

[0063] It can be understood that a plurality of receiving slots can be provided on the tray 203, and a corresponding storage container 201 can be provided in each receiving slot. The receiving slots can limit the storage container 201 to avoid collision or falling of the storage containers 201 on the tray 203 when the feeding device 101 is moved.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the discharge assembly may include a discharge pipe 202 and a drive unit 205, the inlet of the discharge pipe 202 is arranged in the storage container 201, and the outlet of the discharge pipe 202 can be connected to the feed pipe assembly 102; the drive unit 205 is arranged in the inner cavity of the base 207, and is configured to drive the seasoning in the storage container 201 to be discharged along the discharge pipe 202, and to stop discharging based on the change of the weight weighed by the weighing assembly.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, the discharge assembly and the storage container 201 can have a one-to-one correspondence, that is, one set of discharge assemblies can be associated with each storage container 201. The drive unit 205 can generate negative pressure in the discharge pipe 202, thereby sucking the seasoning in the storage container 201 into the discharge pipe 202 through the feed inlet and discharging it along the discharge pipe 202.

[0066] It is understandable that the discharge pipe 202 can be a one-piece structure pipeline or a split structure pipeline formed by connecting a pipe joint and multiple sections of pipeline. The driving unit 205 can be a peristaltic pump, an impeller pump or other existing power devices.

[0067] In a specific implementation, the driving unit 205 adopts a peristaltic pump, and the discharge pipe 202 is a flexible hose connected to the driving unit 205. The peristaltic pump pushes the seasoning in the flexible hose to flow by squeezing the flexible hose. In this way, the peristaltic pump can be prevented from directly contacting the seasoning in the flexible hose, ensuring that the seasoning is not contaminated.

[0068] In order to reduce the influence of the discharge pipe 202 on the weighing result of the weighing sensor 204, in some embodiments, the discharge pipe 202 can adopt a split-structured pipeline formed by a pipe joint and multiple sections of pipelines, wherein the multiple sections of pipelines can adopt flexible hoses. At the same time, when arranging the direction of the pipeline, friction between the pipeline and the tray 203 or the storage container 201 can be avoided, thereby avoiding the influence of friction on the weighing result of the weighing sensor 204.

[0069] Based on the above-mentioned feeding device 101, the feeding control method of the present application includes:

[0070] Determine the target addition amount of the target seasoning to be added and the initial weight value weighed by the weighing component; according to the target addition amount, control the target discharge component to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container; the target storage container is a storage container for containing the target seasoning, and the target discharge component is a discharge component corresponding to the target storage container; obtain the current weight value of the target discharge component in the process of discharging the target seasoning in the target storage container as measured by the weighing component; when the difference between the target addition amount and the weight difference is not greater than a preset weight threshold, control the target discharge component to be closed; the weight difference is the difference between the initial weight value and the current weight value.

[0071] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 It should be noted that although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than that shown here.

[0072] In an embodiment of the present application, the feeding control method can be used to control a feeding device to add seasoning to a pot assembly of a cooking device. The feeding control method may include the following steps.

[0073] Step S301: Determine the target amount of the target seasoning to be added and the initial weight value measured by the weighing component.

[0074] It can be understood that cooking recipes for cooking various dishes can be pre-stored in the cooking equipment. Each recipe can correspond to a dish. Each recipe can record the main ingredients, auxiliary ingredients, seasonings and cooking steps required for cooking the corresponding dish. For seasonings, the recipe can record the types of seasonings required and the corresponding amount of each seasoning.

[0075] Before cooking begins, the user can select a corresponding recipe for the cooking device based on the target dish to be cooked. After selecting the recipe, the ingredient addition control device can read the recipe and obtain information such as the type of seasoning, amount of addition, and cooking steps recorded therein.

[0076] In one implementation, the cooking device may be configured with an interactive interface, which may display various recipes stored in the cooking device. The user may determine the target dish to be cooked this time by selecting a recipe on the interactive interface.

[0077] In another implementation, the cooking device can also be communicatively connected to a terminal device, which can be an existing smart terminal such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer. Network communication can be achieved between the terminal device and the cooking device through any communication method, including but not limited to mobile communications based on the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), computer network communications based on the TCP / IP Protocol Suite (TCP / IP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP), or wireless network communications based on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Zigbee.

[0078] The user can select a recipe in the corresponding program configured on the terminal device, and then the terminal device sends a communication signal to the cooking device to send the recipe information selected by the user to the cooking device, so that the cooking device obtains the recipe for this cooking.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present application, the feeding control device can also be connected to the cooking device through any of the above-mentioned communication methods. When the cooking device obtains the target recipe for this cooking, the cooking device can send the information of the target recipe to the feeding control device, so that the feeding control device obtains the target recipe to be cooked, and then reads the target recipe, and determines the target seasoning to be added and the target feeding amount corresponding to the target seasoning according to the target recipe.

[0080] In another implementation, the user can also modify or set the amount of seasoning added through the terminal device or interactive interface. At this time, the adding instruction carrying the target amount of the target seasoning can be sent by the terminal device or cooking device to the adding control device, so that the adding control device can obtain the target amount of the target seasoning.

[0081] Since the amount of seasoning to be added is determined based on the weight change of the storage container in the embodiment of the present application, the feeding control device can obtain the initial weight value measured by the weighing component before adding the seasoning.

[0082] Step S302: Control the target discharge component to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container according to the target feeding amount; the target storage container is a storage container for containing the target seasoning, and the target discharge component is a discharge component corresponding to the target storage container.

[0083] Since more than one seasoning may be required when cooking a dish, the discharge components of each storage container are independent of each other.

[0084] When target seasoning needs to be added, the driving unit of the target discharge assembly can generate negative pressure in the target discharge pipe, thereby sucking the seasoning in the target storage container into the target discharge pipe from the feed port and discharging it along the target discharge pipe.

[0085] Step S303: obtaining the current weight value of the target seasoning in the target storage container when the target discharge component weighs the target seasoning.

[0086] During the discharge process of the target discharge component, the current weight value measured by the weighing component can be obtained in real time. Specifically, the feeding control device can access the weighing component according to a preset frequency to obtain the current weight value, or the weighing component can send the current weight value to the feeding control device according to a preset frequency.

[0087] Step S304: When the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is not greater than the preset weight threshold, the target discharge component is controlled to be closed; the weight difference is the difference between the initial weight value and the current weight value.

[0088] It can be understood that the feeding control device can control the target discharge component to stop discharging based on the difference between the total weight measured by the weighing sensor when the target discharge component discharges the target seasoning and the total weight measured before discharging.

[0089] Specifically, each type of seasoning is provided with a corresponding usage weight, that is, the amount of seasoning added. When controlling the target discharge component to discharge, the feeding control device can control the target drive unit corresponding to the target seasoning to work. For example, this cooking requires 5g of salt water and 5g of oil, then the feeding control device can control the drive unit corresponding to the oil to work. When the weighing sensor measures that the difference between the total weight before discharge and the current total weight is 5g, the feeding control device controls the drive unit corresponding to the oil to turn off, and then, according to the pre-set cooking sequence, when salt water is needed, the drive unit corresponding to the salt water is controlled to work. When the weighing sensor measures that the difference between the total weight before discharge and the current total weight is 5g, the feeding control device controls the drive unit corresponding to the salt water to turn off to complete the discharge.

[0090] However, since there is a certain delay when the weighing sensor samples the weight of the storage container and the signal transmission also takes a certain amount of time, if the target discharge component is controlled to be closed only when the difference between the total weight before discharge and the current total weight is completely equal to the target addition amount, then due to the existence of the delay, the actual addition amount of the target seasoning added to the pot body component will exceed its target addition amount, resulting in the addition amount not being consistent with expectations, affecting the flavor of the dish.

[0091] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, taking into account the device delay and the time consumption of signal transmission, a weight threshold is set for the addition of the target seasoning. When the weight difference between the initial weight value and the current weight value and the difference between the target addition amount is less than or equal to the weight threshold, the target discharge component is controlled to close, that is, the discharge is stopped. In this way, it can avoid the situation where the actual addition amount is greater than the target addition amount when the weight difference is completely equal to the target addition amount and then the discharge is stopped.

[0092] It can be understood that the weight threshold can be any value such as 2g, 5g, 6.5g, 10g, etc. Different types of seasonings can correspond to different weight thresholds. The specific value of the weight threshold can be determined in advance based on the discharge component such as the peristaltic pump flow rate and the actual application scenario. In the embodiment of the present application, the weight difference between the initial weight value weighed by the weighing component before adding and the current weight value of the target seasoning in the target storage container during the discharge of the target seasoning by the target discharge component is compared with the target feeding amount. When the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is not greater than the preset weight threshold, the target discharge component is controlled to be closed, rather than controlling the target discharge component to be closed when the target feeding amount and the weight difference are completely equal. This can avoid the problem of the actual feeding amount exceeding the target feeding amount due to device delay, ensure the consistency between the actual feeding amount and the target feeding amount, improve the feeding accuracy during cooking, and ensure the reliability of the feeding device.

[0093] Next, continue to Figure 3 Each step shown and the specific implementation methods that may be used in practical applications are described in detail.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present application, controlling the target discharge component to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container according to the target feeding amount may further include:

[0095] If the target feeding amount is greater than the preset reference weight value, the operating parameter of the target discharge component is determined to be the first operating parameter, and the target discharge component is controlled to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container based on the first operating parameter;

[0096] If the target addition amount is less than or equal to the reference weight value, the operating parameter of the target discharge component is determined to be the second operating parameter, and the target discharge component is controlled to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container based on the second operating parameter; the second operating parameter is less than the first operating parameter.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, the target discharge component operates based on certain parameters when discharging, and the operating parameters may be the speed, power or duty cycle of the peristaltic pump motor, etc. In order to ensure the feeding speed of the seasoning, different target feeding amounts may correspond to different operating parameters to achieve the purpose of rapid feeding.

[0098] Taking purified water as the target seasoning as an example, when cooking soup dishes, the demand for purified water is relatively large. Therefore, the speed of the peristaltic pump motor corresponding to purified water can be relatively high to ensure the feeding speed. If the speed of the peristaltic pump motor is relatively low, the feeding time will be longer, affecting the cooking progress.

[0099] When cooking dishes that do not require much clean water, if the peristaltic pump motor speed is high, the actual amount of material added will be seriously inconsistent with the target amount of material added because the motor cannot brake quickly. Therefore, the speed of the peristaltic pump motor can be lower at this time to achieve the purpose of accurate feeding.

[0100] Based on this, in the embodiment of the present application, a reference weight value is pre-set, and the reference weight value is used as a dividing line to determine the operating parameters of the target discharge component. Specifically, if the target feeding amount is greater than the reference weight value, it can be considered that the demand for the target seasoning is large. In order to ensure the feeding speed, the target discharge component can be controlled to operate based on the pre-set first operating parameter to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container to the pot body component; if the target feeding amount is less than or equal to the reference weight value, it can be considered that the demand for the target seasoning is small. In order to ensure the feeding accuracy, the target discharge component can be controlled to operate based on the pre-set second operating parameter to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container to the pot body component, and the second operating parameter is less than the first operating parameter.

[0101] It can be understood that the second operating parameter may refer to a parameter that enables the seasoning to flow in the discharge pipe at a minimum flow rate. The minimum flow rate here may be related to the minimum sampling accuracy of the weighing sensor. For example, the flow rate may be less than or equal to the ratio of the minimum sampling accuracy of the weighing sensor to the sampling time, expressed in g / s. The minimum sampling accuracy may be considered as the minimum amount of seasoning added each time. For example, if the minimum sampling accuracy is 0.5g, then 0.5g is used as the basis for adding seasoning. Each time the peristaltic pump motor rotates one circle, 0.5g of seasoning is added to the pot assembly. It is worth noting that the target addition amount in this scenario should be set to a multiple of 0.5 to ensure accurate addition.

[0102] Assuming the target feeding amount is Yg, the initial weight value is X0g, the reference weight value is 5g, and the weight threshold is 0.5g, when discharging begins, if Y>5, the peristaltic pump motor is controlled to operate based on a 100% duty cycle, driving the target seasoning in the target storage container to be discharged into the pot assembly through the target discharge pipe;

[0103] During the discharging process, the current weight value measured by the load cell is X g. If 0.5 < Y - (X0 - X) ≤ 5, then control the peristaltic pump motor to run at a reduced duty cycle from 100% to 50%, driving the target seasoning in the target storage container to be discharged through the target discharge pipe into the pot body assembly. If Y - (X0 - X) ≤ 0.5, then turn off the peristaltic pump motor to end the feeding.

[0104] When starting to discharge, if 0.5 < Y ≤ 5, then control the peristaltic pump motor to run at a 50% duty cycle, driving the target seasoning in the target storage container to be discharged through the target discharge pipe into the pot body assembly. During the discharging process, if Y - (X0 - X) ≤ 0.5, then turn off the peristaltic pump motor to end the feeding.

[0105] For example, assume the reference weight value corresponding to purified water is 5 g, the first operating parameter of the peristaltic pump motor corresponding to purified water is 100% full power or 100% duty cycle, and the second operating parameter is half of the full power, i.e., 50% power or 50% duty cycle. If the target feeding amount is 50 g, then since the target feeding amount of 50 g is greater than the reference weight value of 5 g, therefore control the peristaltic pump motor to run at full power or based on a 100% duty cycle, discharging the purified water from the water box through the drain pipe into the pot body assembly.

[0106] If the target feeding amount is 4.5 g, then since the target feeding amount of 4.5 g is less than the reference weight value of 5 g, therefore, control the peristaltic pump motor to run based on 50% power or a 50% duty cycle, discharging the purified water from the water box through the drain pipe into the pot body assembly.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the reference weight value can be any value such as 3 g, 5.5 g, 6 g, etc. The reference weight values corresponding to each seasoning can be the same or different. The specific value of the reference weight value can be determined by past experience or multiple experiments, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0108] In the embodiments of the present application, by determining the operating parameters of the target discharging component based on the magnitude relationship between the target feeding amount and the reference weight value, not only can the feeding speed be ensured, but also the feeding accuracy can be improved. And during the feeding process, the change in the rotation speed of the target discharging component can be clearly perceived. The rotation speed becomes lower near the end of feeding, enabling the user to clearly understand the feeding progress.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, when the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is not greater than a preset weight threshold, controlling the target discharging component to close may further include:

[0110] Adjust the operating parameters of the target discharging component according to the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference, and control the target discharging component to discharge the target seasoning in the target storage container based on the adjusted operating parameters;

[0111] Obtaining a current weight value of the target seasoning in the target storage container during the process of the target discharge component discharging the target seasoning in the target storage container based on the adjusted operating parameters, which is weighed by the weighing component;

[0112] When the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is not greater than the weight threshold, the target discharge component is controlled to be closed.

[0113] It is understandable that if the operating parameters of the target discharge component are maintained unchanged during the feeding process, it is possible that the peristaltic pump motor cannot be braked immediately near the end of the feeding due to excessive speed or excessive power of the peristaltic pump motor, resulting in the actual feeding amount not matching the target feeding amount.

[0114] Based on this, in an embodiment of the present application, the operating parameters of the target discharge component can be adjusted according to the real-time changes in the feeding amount during the feeding process, so that the remaining feeding amount is adapted to the operating parameters, and then the discharge is performed based on the adjusted operating parameters until the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is less than or equal to the weight threshold, and then the discharge is stopped.

[0115] Specifically, adjusting the operating parameters of the target discharge component according to the difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference may further include:

[0116] When the difference is greater than the preset reference weight value, the operating parameters of the target discharge component are adjusted to the first operating parameters; when the difference is not greater than the reference weight value and is greater than the weight threshold, the operating parameters of the target discharge component are adjusted to the second operating parameters; the second operating parameters are less than the first operating parameters.

[0117] The difference between the target feeding amount and the weight difference is the amount of seasoning that needs to be added to the pot body assembly. If the amount of seasoning to be added is greater than the reference weight value, it can be considered that more target seasoning needs to be added to the pot body assembly. At this time, in order to ensure the feeding speed, the target discharge assembly can be operated at the first operating parameter, such as a higher power, to achieve rapid feeding.

[0118] Since the amount of seasoning to be added will gradually decrease during the feeding process, when the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the reference weight value and greater than the weight threshold, it can be considered that the feeding is about to end. At this time, in order to avoid the problem of low feeding accuracy caused by device delay, the operating parameters of the target discharge component can be adjusted to make it run at the second operating parameters such as lower power, so as to achieve accurate feeding.

[0119] When the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the weight threshold, it can be considered that the actual amount of feeding has reached the target amount of feeding, and the target discharge component is controlled to stop discharging, and the feeding is completed.

[0120] Different from the above embodiment, when the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the reference weight value and greater than the weight threshold, the operating parameter of the target discharge component is directly adjusted from the first operating parameter to the second operating parameter. In some other application scenarios, when the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the reference weight value and greater than the weight threshold, the first operating parameter can also be gradually adjusted according to the pre-set adjustment step and adjustment frequency until the first operating parameter is adjusted to the second operating parameter.

[0121] For example, if the first operating parameter is 100% duty cycle, the second operating parameter is 50% duty cycle, and the adjustment step and adjustment frequency are to reduce the duty cycle by 5% every 0.1 second, then when the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the reference weight value and greater than the weight threshold, on the basis of the first operating parameter 100% duty cycle, the duty cycle is reduced by 5% every 0.1 second, that is, in the first 0.1s, the operating parameter is adjusted to 95% duty cycle, and in the second 0.1s, that is, 0.2 seconds, the operating parameter is adjusted to 90% duty cycle, and so on, until the operating parameter is adjusted to the second operating parameter, that is, 50% duty cycle, and the adjustment is stopped, and the target discharge component is controlled to continue discharge based on the second operating parameter.

[0122] In the embodiment of the present application, the adjustment step size and frequency can be determined according to the actual application scenario. Different seasonings correspond to different step sizes and frequencies, which are not specifically limited here.

[0123] In some other application scenarios, a third operating parameter, a fourth operating parameter, etc. can be set between the first operating parameter and the second operating parameter. In the above embodiment, the operation of the target discharge component is divided into two levels according to the size relationship between the amount of seasoning to be added and the reference weight value and the amount of seasoning to be added and the weight threshold. It can be understood that in some other application scenarios, more reference values ​​can be set between the reference weight value and the weight threshold, so as to divide the operation of the target discharge component into more levels than two levels according to the size relationship between the amount of seasoning to be added and the reference weight value, the amount of seasoning to be added and the reference value, and the amount of seasoning to be added and the weight threshold.

[0124] For example, if a standard weight value is set between the reference weight value and the weight threshold, when the amount of seasoning to be added is not greater than the reference weight value and is greater than the standard weight value, the operating parameters of the target discharge component can be lowered from the first operating parameter to the third operating parameter, and the target discharge component can be controlled to discharge based on the third operating parameter; and when the amount of seasoning to be added is not greater than the standard weight value and is greater than the weight threshold, the operating parameters of the target discharge component can be lowered from the third operating parameter to the second operating parameter, and the target discharge component can be controlled to discharge based on the second operating parameter, until the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the weight threshold, the target discharge component is controlled to be closed and stop discharging.

[0125] Assume that the reference weight value is 5g, the standard weight value is 2g, the weight threshold is 0.5g, the target feeding amount is 20g, the first operating parameter is 100% duty cycle, the second operating parameter is 70% duty cycle, and the third operating parameter is 50% duty cycle. Since the target feeding amount of 20g is greater than the reference weight value of 5g, the peristaltic pump motor is first fully opened, that is, it is operated based on 100% duty cycle. When the difference between the target feeding amount of 20g and the weight difference measured by the weighing sensor, that is, the amount of seasoning to be added, is greater than the reference weight value of 5g, the peristaltic pump motor is maintained at full opening;

[0126] When the amount of seasoning to be added is not greater than the reference weight value by 5g and greater than the standard weight value by 2g, the peristaltic pump motor is adjusted from a 100% duty cycle to a 70% duty cycle, and the peristaltic pump motor is controlled to operate based on the 70% duty cycle;

[0127] When the amount of seasoning to be added is not greater than the standard weight value of 2g and is greater than the weight threshold of 0.5g, the peristaltic pump motor is adjusted from a 70% duty cycle to a 50% duty cycle, and the peristaltic pump motor is controlled to operate based on a 50% duty cycle;

[0128] When the amount of seasoning to be added is less than or equal to the weight threshold of 0.5 g, it is considered that the target seasoning actually added to the pot assembly reaches the target feeding amount, the peristaltic pump motor is turned off, and the feeding is stopped.

[0129] It is understandable that the number of operating levels for the target discharge component can be set according to actual needs in combination with the desired feeding speed and feeding accuracy, and is not specifically limited here.
