[0077] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0078] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by persons skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0079] At present, in the cooking process of the intelligent cooking equipment, the user is mostly guided by a graphic or video to manually put various seasonings such as salt and monosodium glutamate into the pot, which makes the whole cooking process not intelligent enough, and the user still needs to spend a lot of energy and labor to participate in the cooking process of the delicacy. Moreover, the manually added seasonings are prone to be imprecise and cause taste difference. In addition, although the cooking equipment with the automatic seasoning adding function exists in the prior art, the seasoning adding is complicated, and there is a problem of flavor mixing between different seasonings.

[0080] To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method, a seasoning adding method, a seasoning adding device, and a cooking equipment comprising the seasoning adding device. By using the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application, the automatic seasoning adding function can be realized, the separate addition of different categories of seasonings can be realized, and the flavor mixing between different seasonings can be prevented. To enable personnel in the technical field to better understand the solutions of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0081] Before introducing the method embodiments provided by the present application, the hardware devices required to be combined for realizing the methods provided by the present application will be briefly described. The hardware devices required to be combined for realizing the methods provided by the present application are hardware devices specially set for serving a specific field, for example, the seasoning adding device provided by the present application or the cooking equipment comprising the seasoning adding device. Specifically, please refer to Figures 1a to 3

[0082] In some embodiments of the present application, a cooking equipment is provided, which comprises a main body 2000 and a seasoning adding device 1000, and the seasoning adding device 1000 comprises a seasoning adding unit 100. The main body 2000 has a cooking container 201 for containing food materials and cooperating with other functional components on the main body to realize the cooking of the food materials. The seasoning adding device 1000 is used for containing seasonings, and the seasoning adding unit 100 is used for delivering the seasonings into the cooking container to season the food materials in the cooking container 201.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the cooking equipment comprises but is not limited to a stir-fry machine, a food processor, and a chef machine, Figure 1a ​The cooking device is shown as a wok. Accordingly, the main body 2000 can further include an operation platform 202, and the cooking container 201 is arranged on the operation platform, which provides support for the cooking container. Further, based on the main body, other functional components can also be arranged, for example, a heating part is further arranged on the main body 2000, which is used to provide a heat source for the cooking container 201 to heat the food materials in the cooking container 201. The bottom of the main body can also be provided with support columns to support the bottom surface of the main body 2000, so that it has a distance from the desktop, which is convenient for heat dissipation. In addition, the main body 2000 can also be provided with a display area for the user to operate and control the cooking device, and display operation steps, cooking process and other parameters. Further, the main body 2000 can also be provided with an operation area, which can be formed as a whole with the display area. The operation area is used for the user to operate and control the cooking device, for example, inputting human-computer interaction control instructions and the like. Figure 1a The above examples do not specifically show or indicate other functional components that can be arranged on the main body.

[0084] In some embodiments, the main body 2000 is electrically connected with the feeding device 1000, so that the main body 2000 can supply power to the feeding device 1000. The main body 2000 can be built-in with a power supply, or the main body 2000 can have a power cord to be connected to an external power supply. In a specific implementation, a first electrical interface 2021 can be arranged on the main body 2000. The first electrical interface 2021 and the second electrical interface 117 on the feeding device 1000 are connected by a power cord P to realize wired electrical connection, so as to supply power to the feeding device 1000 through the second electrical interface 117, thereby the main body 2000 provides power supply for the feeding device 1000. In some embodiments, the feeding device 1000 and the main body 2000 can also be wirelessly connected, as long as the feeding device 1000 can be supplied with power through the main body 2000. Of course, in other embodiments, the feeding device 1000 can also not be supplied with power through the main body 2000, for example, a power plug adapted to the feeding device 1000 can be used to connect to an external power supply to supply power to the feeding device 1000; one end of the power plug is electrically connected to an external power supply (such as a mains) to obtain power, and the other end is electrically connected to the second electrical interface 117 of the feeding device 1000 to supply power to the feeding device 1000. The present embodiment is not limited to the specific implementation mode of supplying power to the feeding device 1000. Figure 1aIt is shown that the host body 2000 supplies power to the feeding device 1000. The feeding device 1000 and the host body 2000 can be communicatively connected to enable data transmission between the feeding device 1000 and the host body 2000. In a specific implementation, the communication mode between the host body 2000 and the feeding device 1000 is wireless communication, which can be, but is not limited to, short-distance communication modes such as Bluetooth, ZigBee, infrared, WiFi (Wireless-Fidelity), and can also include long-distance wireless communication modes such as LORA, and can also include wireless communication modes based on mobile networks; when connected through a mobile network, the network standard of the mobile network can be, but is not limited to, any one of 2G (GSM), 2.5G (GPRS), 3G (WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, UTMS), 4G (LTE), 4G+ (LTE+), 5G, WiMax, etc. In this embodiment, Bluetooth is selected as the communication mode between the host body 2000 and the feeding device 1000 as a preferred example. Based on this, in some application scenarios, the user can select or set the current operation step by operating the display area on the host body 2000, and the operation step includes the feeding step. The host body 2000 transmits the feeding step selected by the user to the feeding device 1000, and the feeding device 1000 can perform feeding operation according to the feeding step. In this way, automatic feeding can be realized, and the automation degree of the cooking equipment can be improved.

[0085] In some embodiments, the host body 2000 includes an operation module (i.e., the operation area described above), and the feeding device 1000 includes a controller. When the host body 2000 and the feeding device 1000 are communicatively connected, the controller of the feeding device 1000 can obtain the relevant information of the target seasoning required to be put in by the operation module, and control the feeding device 1000 to perform related operations according to the relevant information. The cooking equipment of the embodiment of the present application also includes a feeding assembly 80, which is connected to the host body 2000 and the feeding device 1000, so that the feeding device 1000 can deliver seasoning to the cooking container 201 of the host body 2000 through the feeding assembly 80. As Figure 1c and Figure 1d As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, in order to facilitate the assembly and storage of the cooking equipment, the feeding assembly 80 can be detachably connected to the host body 2000 and the feeding device 1000 respectively, so that the feeding assembly 80, the host body 2000, and the feeding device 1000 can be stored separately.

[0086] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1eAs shown, the feeding assembly 80 is connected with the main body 2000 and / or the feeding device 1000 through the locking assembly 90; wherein the locking assembly 90 comprises a clamping portion 91 and a force applying portion 92. The clamping portion 91 is capable of moving between a clamping position and a releasing position. When in the clamping position, the main body 2000 and / or the feeding device 1000 is connected with the feeding assembly 80, and when in the releasing position, the feeding assembly 80 is separated from the main body 2000 and / or the feeding device 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 as to achieve the detachable connection between the feeding assembly 80 and the main body 2000 and the feeding device 1000. The force applying portion 92 is connected with the clamping portion 91, and is used for receiving external force to drive the clamping portion 91 to move from the clamping position to the releasing position. For example, the force applying portion 92 can be used for receiving the pressing force applied by the user, and under the action of the pressing force, the clamping portion 91 is separated from the clamping position, and then the feeding assembly 80 can be separated from the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000 connected therewith, so as to achieve the disassembly. In some other embodiments, the force applied by the force applying portion 92 can also be a rotating torque, a pushing force or a pulling force, and through reasonable structural design, the clamping portion 91 can be separated from the clamping position under the action of the preset force, and the specific driving form is not limited in the present application.

[0087] In some embodiments, the locking assembly 90 further comprises an elastic part 93. The elastic part 93 is connected with the clamping part 91, the force applying part 92 can receive external force to make the elastic part 93 elastically deform, the clamping part 91 moves from the clamping position to the releasing position; when the external force is removed, the elastic part 93 restores the deformation to make the clamping part 91 return from the releasing position to the clamping position. For example, the elastic part 93 can be a compression spring, two ends of the compression spring can be connected with the force applying part 92 and the clamping part 91 respectively. Thus, the force applied on the force applying part 92 can act on the elastic part 93 to make the elastic part 93 deform, and when the force applying part 92 is not subjected to external force, the elastic part 93 can be in a natural state or a smaller deformation state. During the removal of the external force, the elastic part 93 gradually restores the deformation to drive the force applying part 92 and the clamping part 91 to return to the initial state, and the clamping part 91 returns to the clamping position. In a specific application scenario, when it is needed to connect the material conveying assembly 80 with the main body 2000, the user presses the force applying part 92, the clamping part 91 moves to the preset releasing position, then the material conveying assembly 80 is inserted into the preset connecting position on the main body 2000, the force applying part 92 is released, and the clamping part 91 moves to the clamping position for clamping with the main body 2000 under the restoring force of the elastic part 93, so that the material conveying assembly 80 is reliably connected and locked with the main body 2000. Thus, during the use of the whole cooking device, the material conveying assembly 80 is not easy to be accidentally touched to cause the connection between the material conveying assembly 80 and the main body 2000 to be loose. Of course, the connection mode between the material conveying assembly 80 and the material adding device 1000 can refer to the connection mode between the material conveying assembly 80 and the main body 2000, which will not be described herein.

[0088] The feeding assembly 80 comprises a feeding pipe 81 and a connecting joint 82, the connecting joint 82 is located at the end of the feeding pipe 81, and the locking assembly 90 is arranged on the connecting joint 82, and the main body 2000 and / or the feeding device 1000 is provided with a plug-in part (not shown in the figure) for inserting at least part of the connecting joint 82. Specifically, the plug-in part can be a hole or a groove. The connecting joint 82 can be fixedly connected with the feeding pipe 81, and the connecting joint 82 is inserted with the plug-in part of the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000, so that the contact area between the feeding assembly 80 and the main body 2000 or the feeding device 1000 is larger, and the connection is more stable and reliable. Specifically, the connecting joint 82 comprises a first joint part 82a and a second joint part 82b. The first joint part 82a is connected with the feeding pipe 81. The second joint part 82b is partially inserted and fixed in the first joint part 82a, and the other part is used for connecting with the feeding device 1000 and / or the main body 2000 through the locking assembly 90. The locking assembly 90 is arranged between the first joint part 82a and the second joint part 82b, and the clamping part 91 of the locking assembly 90 is used to extend from the second joint part 82b to clamp with the feeding device 1000 and / or the main body 2000. The connecting joint 82 is designed as a split structure, and the locking assembly 90 is arranged in the split connecting joint 82, which can facilitate the molding of the connecting joint 82 and the installation of the locking assembly 90. More specifically, the first joint part 82a can have a through hole 82a1 for the protrusion of the force applying part 92. After the first joint part 82a and the second joint part 82b are molded separately, 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 with the second joint part 82b to form an integral whole. Thus, the molding and assembly of the connecting joint 82 are more convenient.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 8a and Figure 8b In some embodiments, the feeding unit 100 comprises a bottle assembly 10, the bottle assembly 10 comprises a plurality of bottles 11, each of which is provided with a discharge port 111 (the discharge port 111 is shown in Figure 6 , Figure 2In the direction of the example, the discharge port 111 is opened at the bottom of the material bottle 11, so that the seasoning in the material bottle 11 can be extracted into the cooking container. Different material bottles 11 can contain different seasonings, including liquid mixed seasonings, oil, water, etc., wherein the mixed seasonings include at least one liquid mixture such as salt, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, soy sauce, chili, etc. Multiple material bottles 11 can achieve the partitioning of multiple seasonings to meet different needs. Because some seasonings have high frequency of use or large amount of use, while some seasonings have low frequency of use or small amount of use, in order to more reasonably use the material bottle 11, in an embodiment, among the multiple material bottles 11, at least two material bottles 11 with different capacities exist. Specifically, among the multiple material bottles 11, at least one material bottle 11 has a first capacity, at least one material bottle 11 has a second capacity, and the first capacity is greater than the second capacity. For example, Figure 2 and Figure 8a The five material bottles 11 shown in the above are taken as an example, among which three material bottles 11 are the same size and have a third capacity, and the other two material bottles 11 have different sizes, respectively a first capacity and a second capacity, and the third capacity is less than the second capacity. That is, among the five material bottles 11, there are three sizes of material bottles 11, and the smallest material bottle 11 has three. Generally, the first capacity material bottle 11 with large capacity is used to contain seasonings with high frequency of use and large amount of use, such as water, which is used for self-cleaning of the cooking equipment, and basically every time the cooking equipment needs to be cleaned. The third capacity material bottle 11 with small capacity is used to contain seasonings with low frequency of use and small amount of use, such as mixed seasonings such as salt, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, soy sauce, chili, sugar, etc. The second capacity material bottle 11 with medium size contains edible oil. In an embodiment, the three small material bottles 11 contain mixed seasonings. Further, for convenience, solid seasonings such as ginger, garlic, chili, etc. can be ground into powder to form mixed seasonings and filled into the small material bottles 11. The three small material bottles 11 can contain different proportions of mixed seasonings to form different flavors, such as original flavor, spicy flavor, sweet flavor, etc. For better assembly, the shape of each material bottle 11 is similar, and different material bottles 11 have the same height, and the height range is 100MM-350MM, preferably 216MM. So that after overall assembly, it can be spliced into a whole structure with consistent height. The shape here means that the cross section of each material bottle 11 is of the same shape.

[0090] In some embodiments, the cross section of each material bottle 11 is fan-shaped, so that multiple material bottles 11 can be spliced into a material bottle assembly 10 with a circular cross section. The turntable 20 has multiple separate cavities 21 (as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 9Each compartment 21 accommodates one bottle 11, and the cross-sectional shape of each compartment 21 matches the cross-sectional shape of the corresponding bottle 11, so that the multiple compartments 21 are assembled into a circle. The cross-section of each bottle 11 is fan-shaped with different central angles, thus achieving different capacities. For example, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8a As shown, the central angle of the first-capacity bottle 11 is larger than that of the second-capacity bottle 11, and the central angle of the second-capacity bottle 11 is larger than that of the third-capacity bottle 11. In some embodiments, the central angle of the first-capacity bottle 11 ranges from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, the central angle of the second-capacity bottle 11 ranges from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, and the central angle of the third-capacity bottle 11 ranges from 30 degrees to 60 degrees. As a preferred embodiment, the central angle of the first-capacity bottle 11 is 135 degrees, the central angle of the second-capacity bottle is 90 degrees, and the central angle of the third-capacity bottle 11 ranges from 45 degrees, with the central angles of the five bottles forming 360 degrees. In other embodiments, the shapes of some of the bottles 11 may also be different. Designing the bottle assembly 10 as circular and cooperating with the circular turntable 20 can result in a smaller overall volume, more efficient use of space, less kitchen area occupied, and a better user experience.

[0091] In some embodiments, the first-capacity container 11 is filled with water. During the operation of the cooking equipment, the amount of water used is relatively large. To ensure that the container assembly 10 has a sufficient volume of water without affecting the overall diameter and height of the container assembly, and to achieve a reasonable and balanced overall layout of the container assembly 10 and the multiple containers 11, the volume of the first-capacity container 11 is at least greater than or equal to 1 liter. To enable the addition of seasonings into the container 11, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 8a to 8c As shown, the container 11 includes a container body 114 and a cap 115. The container body 114 can be open, and the cap 115 covers the open end of the container body 114. The cap 115 and the container body 114 are separable. The cap 115 detachably seals the open end of the container body 114, allowing the cap 115 to be opened and the condiment to be added to the container body 114 when the condiment is insufficient. Furthermore, as... Figure 8bAs shown, the cover 115 is provided with a vent hole 1151 which is in communication with the inside of the bottle body 114. In this way, when the discharge port 111 and the filling port 22 are in communication for suction, the air pressure inside and outside the bottle 11 can be balanced. Moreover, the vent hole 1151 is provided with a check valve 1152 which is used for allowing external air to enter the bottle body 114 and preventing liquid in the bottle body 114 from flowing out of the check valve 1152. Specifically, the check valve 1152 can be a duckbill check valve 1152 which has the function of allowing air to pass but preventing liquid from flowing out. In this way, even if the bottle 11 is inverted, the liquid seasoning in the bottle body 114 will not leak out. In some embodiments, the vent hole 1151 is always open and the check valve 1152 is always closed. When part of the seasoning in the bottle 11 flows to the main body 2000, the air pressure in the bottle 11 decreases and the check valve 1152 is opened in one direction under the action of atmospheric pressure. External air enters the bottle 11 through the vent hole 1151 and the check valve 1152 to ensure that the air pressure inside and outside the bottle 11 is balanced. The check valve 1152 is a flexible one-way valve to ensure that the seasoning in the bottle 11 flows smoothly to the main body 2000.

[0092] In some embodiments, as Figure 8b shown, the cover 115 can include a first part 115a and a second part 115b which are buckled to each other. The second part 115b covers the bottle body 114 and the first part 115a covers the second part 115b. After buckling, the first part 115a and the second part 115b can form a receiving cavity. The check valve 1152 can be provided on the second part 115b and can be embedded in the second part 115b. The check valve 1152 can be located in the receiving cavity. One end of the check valve 1152 is in communication with the vent hole 1151 and the other end penetrates the second part 115b and extends into the bottle body 114. In some embodiments, at least part of the check valve 1152 is located between the first part 115a and the second part 115b and at least part of the check valve 1152 is located inside the bottle body 114. The provision of the vent hole 1151 and the check valve 1152 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cover 115 and ensures that the seasoning in the bottle 11 flows smoothly to the main body. In some embodiments, the cross sections of the cover 115 and the bottle body 114 are both fan-shaped and the vent hole 1151 and the check valve 1152 are provided at the center of the fan-shaped region. It can be understood that, in order to facilitate replacement of the check valve 1152, the first part 115a and the second part 115b can be detachably connected, for example, by clamping or by interference fit of a sealing ring. When the external force is greater than the clamping force or the interference fit force, the first part 115a and the second part 115b can be separated. Preferably, the first part 115a and the second part 115b can be detachably and sealingly connected so that, in the assembled state, the air in the bottle body 114 can only be discharged through the check valve 1152.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 9 In order to better accommodate multiple bottles 11 as a whole, in some embodiments, the feeding unit 100 further comprises a rotating disc 20, and the bottle assembly 10 is mounted to the rotating disc 20 and forms a whole with the rotating disc 20, so as to avoid the multiple bottles 11 of the bottle assembly 10 from being scattered. One possible mounting manner of the bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 is that the rotating disc 20 has multiple separate cavities 21, and each separate cavity 21 is provided with a feeding opening 22 on the bottom wall, that is, as shown in Figure 10a , Figure 9 another angle (i.e. the bottom surface angle of the rotating disc) of the rotating disc 20, and Figure 10b a corresponding simplified top view of the rotating disc 20 from another angle, the rotating disc 20 is provided with multiple feeding openings 22, such as Figure 10b the feeding opening 222, the feeding opening 221b, the feeding opening 221c, the feeding opening 221d, the feeding opening 221e, etc. One bottle 11 can be inserted into one separate cavity 21, and when one bottle 11 is inserted into the corresponding separate cavity 21, the dispensing opening 111 provided on the bottom of the bottle 11 will be aligned with the feeding opening 22 of the inserted separate cavity 21 to output the seasoning to the cooking container. For related descriptions of the alignment, please refer to the following related content, which will not be repeated here.

[0094] Figure 9 、 Figure 10a and Figure 10b show that the rotating disc 20 is provided with five feeding openings, and Figure 10b the positional relationship of each feeding opening is also shown in the figure; the positional relationship of each feeding opening is determined based on a reference position, and the related description of the reference position can be referred to in the following related content. In addition, Figure 9 、 Figure 10a and Figure 10bThe number of feeding ports and their positional relationships shown are merely illustrative and do not limit the number of feeding ports or their positional relationships. In this embodiment, by dividing the turntable 20 into multiple partitioned cavities 21, each bottle 11 can be inserted into a corresponding partitioned cavity 21, allowing the user to remove any bottle 11 as needed. Simultaneously, each bottle 11 is in contact with the partitioned cavity 21 from all sides, providing better containment of a single bottle 11 and effectively preventing it from becoming detached from the partitioned cavity 21. Compared to inserting all bottle assemblies 10 into a single cavity, the partitioned arrangement of the turntable 20 in this embodiment offers greater flexibility. The insertion methods include tight fit, i.e., an interference fit or a transition fit between the bottle 11 and the partitioned cavity 21, with the side of the bottle 11 in close contact with the cavity wall of the partitioned cavity 21 to prevent detachment. The insertion methods also include clearance fit to facilitate the removal of the bottle 11. In clearance fit, to prevent the bottle 11 from loosening from the turntable 20, one possible method is to use a snap-fit ​​structure between the bottle 11 and the turntable 20 for engagement. Using an insertion method facilitates the installation and separation of the bottle 11 and the turntable 20, making it easy to remove the bottle 11. Insertion methods include, but are not limited to, partially inserting the bottle 11 into the partition cavity 21; for example, the bottom of the bottle 11 is inserted into the partition cavity 21, while the middle and top are exposed outside the partition cavity 21. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottle 11 can also be entirely located within the partition cavity 21. To improve the structural strength of the turntable 20, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 9 As shown, the cavity wall of the partition cavity 21 is provided with at least one reinforcing rib 23. The reinforcing rib 23 extends from the bottom wall of the partition cavity 21 toward the opening of the partition cavity 21. In this way, when the bottle 11 is inserted, the reinforcing rib 23 can prevent the bottle 11 from squeezing and deforming the partition cavity 21. For example, one possible way for the bottle 11 and the reinforcing rib 23 to cooperate is that the side wall of the bottle 11 contacts the reinforcing rib 23. When multiple reinforcing ribs 23 are provided around the same partition cavity 21, the reinforcing ribs 23 separate the side wall of the bottle 11 from the cavity wall of the partition cavity 21, while the side wall of the bottle 11 abuts against the reinforcing rib 23. This reduces the contact area between the bottle 11 and the cavity wall of the partition cavity 21, reducing the friction and resistance between them, and facilitating the quick insertion or removal of the bottle 11. In addition, the reinforcing rib 23 can also restrict the rotation of the bottle 11 relative to the turntable 20.

[0095] In some embodiments, the bottle 11 and the reinforcing rib 23 can be coupled in another way, that is, the sidewall of the bottle 11 is provided with a slot, and the reinforcing rib 23 is inserted into the slot, so that the reinforcing rib 23 plays a role of installation and positioning of the bottle 11, avoiding the deviation of the position of the bottle 11, and the reinforcing rib 23 plays a role of limiting the rotation of the bottle 11 relative to the turntable 20. Another installation mode of the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 is that the turntable 20 is provided with a buckle, and the bottle assembly 10 is provided with a clamping groove to be clamped with the buckle. Of course, in other embodiments, the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can also be fixed by magnetic attraction. In order to realize the output of the seasoning to the cooking container, in the embodiment of the application, the turntable 20 is provided with a feeding port 22, and the discharge port 111 of the bottle 11 is aligned with the feeding port 22 to output the seasoning to the cooking container. In the embodiment, the alignment of the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22 means that the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 111 are completely or at least partially coincident in the direction of the discharge of the discharge port 111, so that the feeding port 22 can receive the seasoning flowing out of the discharge port 111. Taking the upward direction as an example, the turntable 20 is arranged below the bottle 11, the bottom of the bottle 11 is inserted into the turntable 20, and the feeding port 22 is located directly below the discharge port 111.

[0096] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8b In order to avoid the seasoning in the bottle 11 from flowing out in a non-pre-set feeding state, in some embodiments, the discharge port 111 of the bottle 11 is provided with a one-way valve 112 for opening or sealing the discharge port 111, so as to realize the control of the seasoning in the bottle 11 from flowing out and avoid the random flow of the seasoning. The cooking device also has a feeding pump for providing power to supply the seasoning to the cooking container. When it is needed to add seasoning to the cooking container, the feeding pump is started to generate negative pressure to open the one-way valve 112, so that the seasoning can flow out. For specific introduction of the feeding pump, please refer to the relevant contents described below. Figure 6 and the attached Figure 8cThe valve body 1121 of the one-way valve 112 is sealed and fixed with the connecting ring 113; in the static state, the spool 1122 of the one-way valve 112 is in the sealed closed position relative to the valve body 1121, so as to separate the discharge port 111 from the feeding port 22; under the action of the preset suction force (the negative pressure provided by the feeding pump), the spool 1122 of the one-way valve 112 moves to the open position relative to the valve body 1121, so as to communicate the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22. The one-way valve 112 in the static state refers to the state without the suction force, the spool 1122 is in the initial state, the spool 1122 includes the plunger 1122a and the spring 1122b connected with the plunger 1122a, and the spring 1122b is connected with the plunger 1122a and the valve body 1121 respectively. Under the action of the suction force, the spool 1122 can be lowered to the open position, so as to communicate the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22; under the action without the suction force, the spring 1122b resets the plunger 1122a to rise, the spool 1122 is in the sealed closed position relative to the valve body 1121, so as to separate the discharge port 111 from the feeding port 22.

[0097] In some embodiments, as Figure 1a 、 Figure 1b and Figure 4 The feeding unit 100 can rotate around a rotation axis, in particular, the rotating disc 20 of the feeding unit 100 can rotate around a rotation axis, and the plurality of separated cavities 21 are distributed around the rotation axis in sequence. In the embodiment, the bottle assembly 10 is installed in the rotating disc 20, so the bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 rotate synchronously. Please refer to Figure 8a and Figure 9In some embodiments, the projections of the partition cavities 21 and the bottles 11 on a plane are all fan-shaped, the plurality of partition cavities 21 are spliced to form a circle, the plurality of bottles 11 are spliced to form a circle, the plurality of partition cavities 21 and the plurality of bottles 11 are matched one by one, and the plurality of partition cavities 21 and the plurality of bottles 11 are distributed in a circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center. The plurality of filling ports 22 are also distributed in the circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center, each partition cavity 21 is provided with one filling port 22, and each filling port 22 is located on the central axis of the cavity bottom wall of the partition cavity 21. The bottles 11 and the rotating disc 20 are circular, and the rotation mode for switching the types of seasonings can effectively reduce the volume and place more types of seasonings in a limited kitchen space. In this embodiment, the rotation axis passes through the center of the rotating disc 20, and the rotation axis also passes through the center of the circular bottle assembly 10 spliced in the same way. In some embodiments, the height of the circular rotating disc 20 ranges from 10MM to 60MM, and is preferably 35MM, and the diameter of the circular rotating disc 20 ranges from 100MM to 300MM, and is preferably 156MM. To ensure that the bottles 11 are stably inserted into the rotating disc 20, the height of the rotating disc is greater than or equal to one tenth of the height of the bottles.

[0098] In some embodiments, the plurality of partitioned cavities 21 are arranged in a plurality of zones, the plurality of partitioned cavities 21 comprising a first partitioned cavity 21a, a second partitioned cavity 21b and a third partitioned cavity 21c, the first partitioned cavity 21a corresponding to the first volume bottle 11, the second partitioned cavity 21b corresponding to the second volume bottle 11, and the third partitioned cavity 21c corresponding to the third volume bottle 11, the first partitioned cavity 21a having a larger cavity volume than the second partitioned cavity 21b, the second partitioned cavity 21b having a larger cavity volume than the third partitioned cavity 21c, and the three third partitioned cavities 21c having the same cavity volume. The plurality of partitioned cavities 21 are arranged in a circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center, and the cross sections of the plurality of partitioned cavities 21 are arranged in a fan shape, and the plurality of fan shapes form the circular turntable 20. The central angle of the fan shape of the first partitioned cavity 21a ranges from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, preferably 135 degrees; the central angle of the fan shape of the second partitioned cavity 21b ranges from 60 degrees to 120 degrees, preferably 90 degrees; the central angle of the fan shape of the third partitioned cavity 21c ranges from 30 degrees to 60 degrees, preferably 45 degrees; the central angle of the fan shape of the first partitioned cavity 21a is larger than that of the second partitioned cavity 21b, the central angle of the fan shape of the second partitioned cavity 21b is larger than that of the third partitioned cavity 21c, and the central angles of the fan shapes of the three third partitioned cavities 21c are the same. For the bottle assembly 10, the cross-sectional central angles of at least two bottles 11 are different, so that the volumes of at least two bottles 11 are different. The volume of the bottle 11 corresponding to the commonly used seasoning (such as water, cooking oil, etc.) can be larger than the volume of the bottle 11 corresponding to the less commonly used seasoning (such as old vinegar, cooking wine, light soy sauce, etc.), thereby reducing the number of times the user adds seasoning. In order to facilitate the molding of the turntable 20, in an embodiment, the turntable 20 comprises a body 24 and a plurality of partitions 25 integrally injection molded with the body 24, the body 24 has an inner cavity, the plurality of partitions 25 are located in the inner cavity and are arranged in a radial manner, and the space formed by two adjacent partitions 25 and the cavity wall of the inner cavity between the two adjacent partitions 25 constitutes a partitioned cavity 21. The turntable 20 in this embodiment can be integrally injection molded with a plastic material, can form a relatively complex structure, is easy to process, and is also convenient for mass production. Furthermore, the integrally injection molding of the partitions 25 and the body 24 also eliminates the subsequent assembly process and saves costs. At the same time, the turntable 20 made of plastic material is relatively light in weight, has a small load when rotating, and is beneficial to smooth rotation of the turntable 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the turntable 20 can also be made of other materials, such as metal. In addition, the partitions 25 and the body 24 can also be in a split form, for example, a large cavity is formed in the body 24, a mounting column is arranged in the cavity, and slots are arranged on the mounting column and the cavity wall, and the two sides of the partition 25 are inserted into the slots on the mounting column and the slots on the cavity wall, respectively.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 3Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the cooking device can further comprise a base 30, and the base 30 can be provided with a dispensing opening 31. The turntable 20 is rotatably connected to the base 30, so that the turntable 20 can rotate relative to the base 30 to align the dispensing opening 31 of the base 30 with the dispensing opening 22 of the turntable 20, so that the seasoning in the seasoning bottle 11 can be output to the cooking container through the dispensing opening 31. When the turntable 20 rotates, different dispensing openings 22 can pass through the dispensing opening 31 in turn. In the process of adding seasoning, the corresponding seasoning bottle 11 can be rotated to align with the dispensing opening 31, and the one-way valve 112 is opened, so that the corresponding seasoning is added. It should be noted that, in order to achieve the sealing of the outlet 111 of the seasoning bottle 11 in a non-pre-set seasoning state, in addition to the sealing by the one-way valve 112, other structures can also be used for sealing, for example, the base 30 is rotatably connected to the turntable 20. Those skilled in the art can design according to the actual situation, and the present application does not make special limitations. Please refer to Figure 6 In order to avoid the leakage of seasoning from the connection between the dispensing opening 22 and the outlet 111, resulting in the mess of the seasoning device, in some embodiments, the cooking device can further comprise a sealing structure 71 for sealingly connecting the dispensing opening 22 and the outlet 111. In some embodiments, the sealing structure 71 includes but is not limited to a sealing ring, a sealing coating, a sealing glue, an elastic soft glue, etc. Further, in order to avoid the blocking of the dispensing opening 22 and the outlet 111 by the sealing structure 71, the sealing structure 71 can be annular, and the diameter of the annular sealing structure 71 ranges from 5MM to 50MM, and is preferably 23MM. In some embodiments, the sealing structure 71 is elastic, which improves the sealing effect and reduces the pressure of the seasoning bottle 11 on the turntable. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the sealing structure 71 extends from the bottom wall of each partitioned cavity 21 into the cavity, and the extension height of the sealing structure 71 ranges from 4MM to 20MM, and is preferably 10MM. The extension height of the sealing structure 71 is less than the height of the side wall of the partitioned cavity 21.

[0100] Specifically, the sealing structure 71 can be arranged on the turntable 20 and located at the dispensing opening 22. In order to avoid the separation of the sealing structure 71 from the turntable 20, in an embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71 is provided with a sealing ring groove (not labeled in the figure), and the hole wall of the dispensing opening 22 is provided with a sealing ring rib 26 to sealingly cooperate with the sealing ring groove. In this embodiment, the sealing ring rib 26 and the sealing ring groove cooperate to prevent the sealing structure 71 from separating from the vertical direction of the turntable 20, and at the same time, ensure the close fit of the sealing structure 71 and the hole wall of the dispensing opening 22 on the turntable 20, and avoid the leakage of seasoning from the connection between the sealing structure 71 and the turntable 20. In addition, the sealing ring groove refers to an annular groove, and the sealing ring rib 26 is an annular protruding structure along the circumference of the dispensing opening 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the sealing ring groove can also directly sealingly cooperate with the entire hole wall of the dispensing opening 22 of the turntable 20, that is, the entire hole rim of the dispensing opening 22 is wrapped in the sealing ring groove.

[0101] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, a connecting ring rib 113 is provided on the bottom side of the material bottle 11 facing the turntable 20, and the connecting ring rib 113 surrounds the discharge port 111; when the material bottle 11 is installed on the turntable 20, the connecting ring rib 113 is inserted into the feeding port 22. The design of the connecting ring rib 113 at the bottom of the material bottle 11 to engage with the feeding port 22 can effectively improve the alignment accuracy between the discharge port 111 on the material bottle 11 and the feeding port 22 on the turntable 20. Specifically, the connecting ring rib 113 is inserted into the sealing structure 71, that is, the sealing structure 71 is sealed and fitted onto the outer circumferential surface of the connecting ring rib 113 to align the feeding port 22 with the discharge port 111, thereby preventing the material from leaking out from the connection between the connecting ring rib 113 and the sealing structure 71, and ensuring the sealed alignment between the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22.

[0102] Furthermore, to improve the sealing effect between the sealing structure 71 and the connecting ring rib 113, in one embodiment, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71 is provided with at least one sealing lip 711, and the sealing structure 71 seals against 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 at a predetermined angle along the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 711. The angle between its inclination direction and the rotation axis is in the range of 60 degrees to 90 degrees, preferably 80 degrees; specifically, it extends towards the feeding port 22, which improves the sealing performance between the sealing structure 71 and the connecting ring rib 113 without affecting the smoothness of inserting the bottle 11 into the turntable 20; in a preferred embodiment, there are two sealing lips 711, and the two sealing lips 711 have the same inclination angle, preferably in the range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees with the rotation axis. By providing at least one sealing lip 711 on the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71, the sealing lip 711, due to its more flexible deformation, can better adapt to the structure of the connecting ring rib 113 itself when in contact with it, making corresponding deformations and better fitting onto the connecting ring rib 113, thus achieving a better sealing effect. Optionally, the cross-section of the sealing lip 711 gradually decreases in its convex direction, equivalent to the end of the sealing lip 711 in contact with the connecting ring rib 113 being the small end, and the end of the sealing lip 711 connected to the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71 being the large end. When compressed by the connecting ring rib 113, the small end of the sealing lip 711 can deform more flexibly to better adapt to this compression, thereby tightly fitting onto the connecting ring rib 113. Optionally, multiple sealing lips 711 are provided on the inner circumferential surface of the sealing structure 71, with each sealing lip 711 sealingly abutting against the connecting ring rib 113, achieving multiple seals.

[0103] Further details can be found in the appendix. Figure 4 and Figure 6, the sealing structure 71 can be funnel-shaped at the end connected to the bottle 11, and the opening of the sealing structure 71 gradually decreases along the direction of the base 30 to form a funnel shape, so that the end of the sealing structure 71 for inserting the bottle 11 forms an expanding opening, and when the connecting ring 113 of the bottle 11 is inserted into the sealing structure 71, the connecting ring 113 is inserted into the sealing structure 71 along the expanding opening, and the inclined inner wall of the expanding opening guides and seals the connecting ring 113, facilitating the insertion and removal of the bottle 71. In the embodiment of the application, the upper end of the sealing structure 71 is sleeved on the discharge port 111 of the bottle 11, and the lower end of the sealing structure 71 is sealed to the hole wall of the feeding port 22 of the turntable 20, thereby realizing the sealed connection of the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22, and preventing the seasoning from leaking from the connection between the discharge port 111 and the feeding port 22. Please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 9 and Figure 11 When the seasoning flows out of 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), it needs to be transported to the cooking container through the conveying pipeline 81. In this process, in order to avoid the seasoning accumulating below the feeding port 22 and adhering to the bottom surface of the turntable 20, thereby causing mixing and flavor mixing. In some embodiments, the cooking device can further include a buffer structure 60, the buffer structure 60 has a buffer cavity 63, the buffer cavity 63 has an open end, and the bottom wall of the buffer cavity 63 is provided with a communication opening 64 to add seasoning into the cooking container. The feeding unit 100 includes a bottle assembly 10 and a turntable 20, the bottle assembly 10 is inserted into the turntable 20, and the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60 to align or misalign the feeding port 22 with the open end of the buffer cavity 63. When aligned, the seasoning in the feeding unit 100 can flow from the feeding port 22 to the buffer cavity 63, and then be sent to the cooking container through the buffer cavity 63. When misaligned, the feeding port 22 is closed, and the seasoning cannot flow out. In the embodiment of the application, the seasoning flowing out of the bottle assembly 10 first flows into the buffer cavity 63 and then enters the cooking container. The buffer cavity 63 can provide a temporary storage place for the seasoning flowing out of the bottle assembly 10, preventing the seasoning from filling the pipeline and adhering to the bottom surface of the bottle assembly 10 or the turntable 20, thereby causing mixing and affecting the taste of the food in the cooking container. The bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60, one of the realizable ways is that the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 move, and the buffer structure 60 is fixed. Another realizable way is that the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are fixed, and the buffer structure 60 moves. Another realizable way is that the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 move, and the buffer structure 60 moves. In addition, the movement modes include but are not limited to rotation around the rotation axis, linear motion, etc.

[0104] Since the turntable 20 has multiple feeding ports 22, which can be unevenly distributed along the circumference centered on the axis of rotation, and each feeding port 22 independently provides different seasonings, the turntable 20 can provide multiple seasonings. To further avoid mixing, such as preventing oil and water from mixing, in one embodiment, the buffer structure 60 includes two buffer cavities 63. Among the multiple feeding ports 22 of the turntable 20, there is a first feeding port 221 and a second feeding port 222. The turntable 20 can move relative to the buffer structure 60 to switch between multiple feeding positions, such as... Figure 15 As shown, at at least one of the feeding positions, the first feeding port 221 is aligned with the opening of one of the buffer chambers 63, as... Figure 17 As shown, at at least one other feeding position, the second feeding port 222 is aligned with the opening of another buffer chamber 63. In practical applications, seasonings tend to adhere to the bottom wall of the buffer chamber 63. For example, liquid seasonings such as soy sauce and cooking oil will leave some residue in the buffer chamber 63. When another seasoning is added to the cooking container, this residue will mix with the next seasoning. For some seasonings, mixing can be dangerous. For example, if oil and water in soy sauce are mixed, splashing or splattering may occur when added to a heated cooking container. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two buffer chambers 63 are arranged so that the first feeding port 221 and the second feeding port 222 output seasonings to the cooking container through different buffer chambers 63. In this way, the seasonings flowing out of the first feeding port 221 and the seasonings flowing out of the second feeding port 222 are completely independent, preventing the two seasonings from mixing together.

[0105] like Figure 5 and Figure 11To make the seasonings fall into the buffer cavity 63 better and concentrate the flow from the buffer cavity 63, in an embodiment, the communication port 64 of the buffer cavity 63 can be opposite to the opening of the buffer cavity 63, and the buffer cavity 63 is tapered from the communication port 64 to the opening. For example, the opening of the buffer cavity 63 is upward, and the communication port 64 is at the bottom of the buffer cavity 63. The buffer cavity 63 is set to be conical, and the inner diameter gradually decreases from the seasoning flow direction, so that the upper end is convenient for receiving the seasonings flowing from the first feeding port 221 or the second feeding port 222, and the lower end is convenient for the seasonings to concentrate and flow out from the communication port 64 to the cooking container. To facilitate the overall installation of the buffer structure 60, in some embodiments, the buffer structure 60 can have a connecting plate 61 and two buffer parts 62 connected thereto, and each buffer part 62 has a buffer cavity 63 and a communication port 64. The two buffer cavities 63 are distributed in the circumferential direction with the rotation axis as the center, and the two buffer cavities 63 are spaced apart by a predetermined circumferential angle, which is in the range of 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and preferably 45 degrees. By connecting the two buffer parts 62 on the connecting plate 61, when installing, it is not necessary to position and install each buffer part 62 separately, but only one buffer part 62 or the connecting plate 61 needs to be accurately aligned, and the other buffer part 62 can be aligned. At the same time, during transportation, the two buffer parts 62 form a whole, which also reduces the risk of scattering due to too small parts.

[0106] Please refer to Figures 11 to 13 In some embodiments, the buffer structure 60 is installed on the base 30. One possible installation method is that the upper surface of the base 30 is provided with an installation cavity 32, and the buffer structure 60 can be embedded with the installation cavity 32. Specifically, the installation cavity 32 includes a sink 321 and a clearance opening 322 provided on the bottom of the sink 321, and the connecting plate 61 of the buffer structure 60 can be embedded with the sink 321, and the buffer part 62 of the buffer structure 60 can extend into the clearance opening 322. When two buffer parts 62 are provided, two clearance openings 322 are correspondingly provided on the base 30. In this embodiment, the buffer structure 60 and the installation cavity 32 are embedded, which is convenient for positioning and installing the buffer structure 60, and also avoids the buffer structure 60 protruding outside the base 30 and colliding with other parts. It should be noted that when the buffer structure 60 is provided, the buffer cavity 63 constitutes the feeding port 31 of the base 30. When the buffer structure 60 is not provided, the feeding port 31 can be directly formed on the base 30. Figure 12b For Figure 12a The corresponding simplified top view shows that the base 30 has two feeding ports 31 (i.e. feeding port 311 and feeding port 312); in a specific example, please refer to Figure 11 As shown, the feeding port 311 can be constituted by the buffer cavity 632, and the feeding port 312 can be constituted by the buffer cavity 631. Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 In the above description, the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are movable relative to the buffer structure 60, including the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 themselves moving while the buffer structure 60 is fixed in position, or the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 being fixed while the buffer structure 60 is movable. The movement includes, but is not limited to, rotation and linear movement. Specifically, in one embodiment, the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 are rotatably connected to the base 30 so as to move at multiple feeding positions through circumferential rotation. Figure 15 and Figure 17 The rotary table 20 of the feeding unit 100 is switched between the feeding position and the feeding position.

[0107] Furthermore, the cooking equipment also includes a conveying pipe 81. The discharge port 31 of the base 30 is used to communicate with the cooking container through the conveying pipe 81, which is used to transport the seasonings flowing out of the discharge port 31 to the cooking container. Since the conveying pipe 81 can be used to transport at least two different seasonings, in order to further improve the mixing phenomenon that occurs during the two conveying processes, some embodiments of this application also include an emptying position 122 (e.g., ...). Figure 10bThe base 30 is provided with a preset gap between the base 30 and the turntable 20, so that the bottle assembly 10 and the turntable 20 can be switched between the filling position and the emptying position relative to the base 30. In some possible embodiments, the turntable 20 is rotatably arranged on the base 30, and the filling port 22 and the discharging port 31 can be switched between the alignment state and the misalignment state during rotation of the turntable 20 relative to the base 30. In the filling position of the turntable 20, the filling port 22 and the discharging port 31 are in the alignment state. In the emptying position of the turntable 20, the filling port 22 and the discharging port 31 are in the misalignment state. In some embodiments, the diameter of the feeding pipeline 81 ranges from 2 mm to 10 mm, and is preferably 7.5 mm, to ensure that various liquid mixtures can smoothly flow to the cooking container. In the assembled state of the filling unit 100, the bottle 11 is inserted into the turntable 20, the turntable 20 loaded with the bottle 11 is rotationally connected above the base 30, and the base 30 and the turntable 20 (or the filling unit 100) have a preset gap therebetween. In the misalignment state of the filling port 22 and the discharging port 31, the discharging port 31 and the preset gap can be in communication to form a cleaning channel. The communication between the discharging port 31 and the preset gap means that the auxiliary cleaning medium in the preset gap can be conveyed into the discharging port 31, and the residual seasoning in the discharging port 31 and the feeding pipeline 81 connected with the discharging port 31 can be guided into the cooking container under the action of the cleaning medium, so as to avoid the residual seasoning of the last time of filling from mixing with the seasoning of the next time of filling in the feeding pipeline 81, thereby preventing the seasoning from being mixed. In addition, the emptying operation is performed on the discharging port 31 and the feeding pipeline 81 after filling, so as to reduce the probability that the seasoning lingers in the discharging port 31 and / or the feeding pipeline 81 for too long time and causes bacterial growth or even mildewing. Furthermore, the secondary emptying of the seasoning can be achieved after the filling and the emptying operations are performed each time, so as to ensure that the predetermined amount of seasoning can be accurately put into the cooking container.

[0108] Compared with the way of providing a through hole in the turntable 20 to form the cleaning channel, the design of the through hole damages the integrity of the turntable 20, and the cleaning of the through hole is also more troublesome. The cleaning channel is formed by providing the preset gap between the base 30 and the turntable 20, and no hole needs to be opened in the turntable 20, so that the turntable 20 is relatively simple to form, and there is no through hole to be cleaned, thereby effectively reducing the use and maintenance difficulty of the user. The feeding pipeline 80 is arranged between the main body 2000 and the filling device 1000, and the seasoning can be conveyed to the cooking container through the feeding pipeline 80; and the cleaning channel is in communication with the feeding pipeline 80. Therefore, when the emptying operation is performed, the residual seasoning in the feeding pipeline 80 can be completely emptied, thereby further ensuring reliable filling each time and preventing the residual seasoning in the feeding pipeline from causing inaccurate filling.

[0109] To achieve a preset gap between the turntable 20 and the base 30, in some specific embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 10a As shown, a protrusion 22a may be provided on the side of the turntable 20 facing the base 30 and surrounding the feeding port 22. The protrusion 22a surrounds the feeding port 22. Since the protrusion height of the protrusion 22a relative to the turntable 20 is h, a preset gap exists between the base 30 and the turntable 20. In some embodiments, the height h ranges from 0.5 mm to 10 mm, preferably 3 mm. A sealing member 65 is provided on the side of the discharge port 31 facing the feeding unit 100. The sealing member 65 surrounds the discharge port 31 and is used to press against the protrusion 22a to ensure a sealed connection between the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31. When the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31 are aligned, the protrusion 22a and the sealing element 65 can form a seal, and the two can be tightly squeezed together, preventing external air and other media from entering the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31. In this state, the discharge port 111 can be opened, and the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31 are connected to form a channel for conveying seasoning. When the feeding is completed, the control system can control the turntable 20 to rotate relative to the base 30 to a preset angle. After rotating to the preset angle, the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31 are misaligned, and the discharge port 31 is opposite to the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30. There is a preset gap between the discharge 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 discharge port 31. It should be noted that the protrusion 22a mentioned above may include a hard protrusion or an elastic protrusion. This application embodiment does not make any special limitation. When the protrusion 22a includes an elastic protrusion, the protrusion 22a can be elastically aligned with the discharge port 31 to improve the sealing performance when the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31 are aligned, and prevent the material from leaking out from the alignment surface of the feeding port 22 and the discharge port 31 during the feeding process.

[0110] like Figure 10aAs shown, the exemplary feeding ports 22 can include multiple, each feeding port 22 corresponding to a protrusion 22a, and the multiple protrusions 22a are unevenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the rotating disc 20. Exemplarily, the shapes of the protrusions 22a corresponding to each feeding port 22 can be the same, or a part of the protrusions 22a have the same shape, and the other part of the protrusions 22a have different shapes, the protrusions 22a with the same shape are used for alignment with one drop port 31, and the protrusions 22a with the other shape are used for alignment with another drop port 31. Specifically, the protrusions 22a corresponding to the feeding port 22 for outputting edible oil can have a shape different from the protrusions 22a corresponding to the other feeding ports 22, for example, the diameter of the protrusions 22a corresponding to the feeding port 22 for outputting edible oil is greater than the diameter of the protrusions 22a corresponding to the other feeding ports 22. The multiple protrusions 22a are distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotation axis of the rotating disc 20, so that during the rotation of the rotating disc 20 relative to the base 30, the drop ports 31 can be sequentially aligned with the protrusions 22a. The surface of the bottom of the rotating disc 20 towards the base 30 is provided with protrusions 22a, the protrusions 22a extend from the outer surface of the bottom of the rotating disc 20 to the base 30 by a predetermined height, the height range is 0.5MM-10MM, preferably 3MM. Therefore, the space between any two protrusions 22a between the rotating disc 20 and the base 30 forms a predetermined gap. The area between the adjacent two protrusions 22a and the base 30 forms a predetermined gap. Figure 10a As shown, taking five feeding ports 22 corresponding to five protrusions 22a as an example, three of the five feeding ports 22 are relatively close, and the other two of the five feeding ports 22 are relatively far apart. The gap between the protrusions 22a corresponding to the three feeding ports 22 that are relatively close is slightly smaller, so that when the feeding device is controlled to perform the emptying operation, the system can accurately perceive the angle of rotation of the rotating disc 20, and when the rotating disc 20 rotates to a position where one of the drop ports 31 is opposite to the gap between the two protrusions 22a that are relatively close, the system controls the feeding device to perform the emptying operation. The area between the protrusions 22a corresponding to the two feeding ports 22 that are relatively far apart is larger, and when the area between the two protrusions 22a that are relatively far apart is opposite to one of the drop ports 31, the system controls the feeding device to perform the emptying operation, or when the drop port 31 is located at a predetermined position in the area between the two protrusions 22a that are relatively far apart, the system controls the feeding device to perform the emptying operation, so that the control is more accurate.

[0111] In some embodiments, the protrusion 22a can include an elastic sealing ring, which can be annular, and is embedded in the inner wall of the charging port 22, and is used to be in elastic extrusion contact with the blanking port 31, so that the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 can be sealed and aligned. The protrusion 22a can be formed only by the elastic sealing ring, or the protrusion 22a includes a hard protrusion and an elastic sealing ring embedded in the hard protrusion. By providing the elastic sealing ring, the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 can be in elastic sealing contact, thereby further reducing the risk of external medium entering the material conveying channel from the gap between the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31, and also reducing the risk of seasoning leaking from the gap between the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31. For details, see Figure 11 The side of the blanking port 31 facing the turntable 20 is provided with a sealing member 65, which surrounds the blanking port 31, and is used to be in extrusion contact with the elastic sealing ring of the protrusion 22a, so that the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 can be sealed and aligned. In the installed state, the sealing member 65 can protrude from the side surface of the base 30 facing the turntable 20. In some embodiments, the sealing member 65 can adopt the sealing member 65 described in the above embodiments, that is, the blanking port 31 is provided with a buffer structure 60, and the sealing member 65 is fixed to the buffer structure 60. For details, please refer to the description of the buffer structure 60 and the sealing member 65 in the above embodiments. In other embodiments, the sealing member 65 can be directly fixed to the surface of the base 30 facing the turntable 20, for example, an annular groove is formed at the edge of the blanking port 31 of the base 30, and the sealing member 65 is clamped into the annular groove, or the sealing member 65 is directly bonded around the blanking port 31. By sealing and aligning the elastic sealing ring at the protrusion 22a and the sealing member 65 at the blanking port 31, the sealing between the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 is more reliable. The technical solutions provided in the above embodiments, due to the presence of the pre-set gap, the charging port 22 and the blanking port 31 are in close contact only in the aligned state, and in the misaligned state, the turntable 20 and the base 30 are gap-fitted, which can prevent the elastic sealing ring of the charging port 22 and the sealing member 65 of the blanking port 31 from being in extrusion deformation for a long time, thereby greatly shortening the service life of the elastic sealing ring and the sealing member 65. On the other hand, the gap forms a cleaning channel, avoiding additional holes on the turntable 20 to form a cleaning channel, so that the manufacturing is simpler and the structural design is more reasonable.

[0112] The protrusion 22a includes a top surface 22a1 that contacts the seal 65. When the feed port 22 and discharge port 31 are aligned, the seal 65 is pressed against the top surface 22a1. This top surface 22a1 can be parallel to the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30. By designing the top surface 22a1 and the seal 65, the seal 65 can be accurately and reliably aligned with the protrusion 22a. Furthermore, as the turntable 20 rotates relative to the base 30, the seal 65 laterally slides across the top surface 22a1, resulting in low frictional resistance between the top surface 22a1 and the seal 65. This ensures both the sealing alignment of the seal 65 and the protrusion 22a and does not affect the relative rotation of the turntable 20 and the base 30. For more details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 10a The protrusion 22a may be trumpet-shaped, and the trumpet-shaped protrusion 22a may include an annular inner hole S1 and an annular outer expansion S2 surrounding the inner hole S1. The inner hole S1 is located inside the top plane 22a1, and the outer hole S2 is located outside the top plane 22a1. The inner hole S1 extends into the feed port 22 and connects with the inner wall of the feed port 22. The outer expansion S2 extends from the top plane 22a1 to fit against the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, and the protrusion height of the outer expansion S2 gradually decreases along the radial outward direction of the feed port 22. In some embodiments, the inner hole S1 is configured as an elastic sealing ring for the protrusion 22a, which can be adhered to the inner wall of the feed port 22 or inserted into the feed port 22. The protrusion height of the outwardly expanding portion S2 gradually decreases, meaning that the highest protrusion is at the end of the outwardly expanding portion S2 closest to the top plane 22a1, forming the highest protrusion point. The end of the outwardly expanding portion S2 away from the inner hole portion S2 is in contact with the surface of the turntable 20 facing the base 30, and the protrusion height at the contact point is zero. The protrusion 22a is funnel-shaped, meaning that the outwardly expanding portion S2 extends from the top plane 22a1 towards the bottom outer surface of the turntable 20, and the radius of its annular cross-section gradually increases. The entire protrusion 22a can be a smooth funnel shape, thus, during the relative rotation of the turntable 20 and the base 30, the protrusion 22a smoothly transitions with the seal 65 on the base 30, and the rotational resistance of the protrusion 22a to the base 30 is small.

[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10a As shown, the outward expansion portion S2 may include multiple coaxially arranged annular connecting portions S21. The multiple annular connecting portions S21 are connected and arranged in a stepped manner radially outward along the feed port 22. The multiple annular connecting portions S21 are connected in a pleated manner. When the protrusion 22a is aligned with the seal 65, because the outward expansion portion S2 is pleated, the outward expansion portion S2 can compress the seal 65 axially according to the deformation direction defined by the pleats, and it is not easy for the seal 65 to tilt or deflect in the radial direction, thereby ensuring reliable alignment of the protrusion 22a and the seal 65 at the predetermined position.

[0114] The embodiment of the application also provides a feeding device, comprising: a base 30, a bottle assembly 10, and a rotating disc 20. The base 30 is provided with a feeding opening 31 which is communicated with a cooking container through a feeding pipeline 81, the bottle assembly 10 is used for containing seasonings, and the rotating disc 20 is used for carrying the bottle assembly 10 and is rotatably arranged on the base 30. The rotating disc 20 comprises a feeding opening 22 for outputting seasonings. The feeding opening 22 and the feeding opening 31 can be switched between a position alignment state and a position dislocation state during the rotation of the rotating disc 20 relative to the base 30. The base 30 and the rotating disc 20 are provided with a preset gap therebetween, and the gap ranges from 1mm to 10mm, and preferably is 4.5mm. When the feeding opening 22 and the feeding opening 31 are in the position alignment state, the feeding opening 22 and the feeding opening 31 are positionally aligned. When the feeding opening 22 and the feeding opening 31 are in the position dislocation state, the feeding opening 31 and the preset gap can be communicated to form a cleaning channel. In order to intuitively show the rotation of the rotating disc 20 relative to the base 30 and the switching process of the feeding opening 22 between the position alignment state and the position dislocation state, please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. Figures 19a to 19e The rotating disc 20 is shown in the top view of the bottom surface thereof, and the plurality of feeding openings 31 arranged on the base 30 are schematically shown. Figure 10b When any one of the plurality of first curves “---” drawn in the figure for intuitively representing the positional relationship of the plurality of feeding openings 22 (or the positional relationship of the emptying positions 122) on the rotating disc 20 coincides with any one of the plurality of second curves “-------” drawn for representing the positional relationship of the plurality of feeding openings 31, it is indicated that the feeding opening 22 (or the emptying position 122) indicated by the first curve in the coincided curve is positionally aligned with the feeding opening 31 indicated by the second curve, that is, the feeding opening 22 and the feeding opening 31 are in the position alignment state (or the position dislocation state). For example, refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. Figure 19b When the first curve l1 and the second curve l2 coincide in the figure, it is indicated that the feeding opening 222 on the rotating disc and the feeding opening 312 on the base are positionally aligned. Figure 19b The first curve l1 and the second curve l2 are slightly dislocated in FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D, which is for the purpose of indicating the first curve l1 and the second curve l2. For the related introduction of the emptying position, please refer to the following related content.

[0115] In FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, Figures 19a to 19e In FIG. 3C and FIG. 3D, Figure 19b and Figure 19d The rotating disc in which the plurality of bottles 11 are inserted is shown in the feeding position, wherein, Figure 19b The feeding opening 222 and the feeding opening 312 are positionally aligned, that is, the feeding opening 222 and the feeding opening 312 are in the position alignment state. Figure 19d The feeding opening 221c and the feeding opening 311 are positionally aligned. Figure 19c and Figure 19eThe rotary disc with the plurality of ingredient bottles 11 inserted is shown in the emptying position, specifically, the rotary disc is in the emptying position Figure 19c The feeding port 222 and the discharging port 312 are shown in the misaligned state, Figure 19e The feeding port 221c and the discharging port 311 are shown in the misaligned state. For the feeding port 221c and the discharging port 311, Figure 19a It shows the rotary disc 20 positioned to the reference position. In this embodiment, the rotary disc 20 is positioned to the reference position for the purpose of facilitating the subsequent control of the rotary disc 20 relative to the base 30 to rotate to enable the feeding port 22 and the discharging port 31 to switch between the aligned state and the misaligned state, thereby realizing the automatic feeding function. In the specific implementation, the reference position can refer to the original position of the rotary disc 20 and the base 30, Figure 12b The positional relationship of the plurality of discharging ports 31 is shown, and Figure 10b The positional relationship of the plurality of feeding ports 22 on the rotary disc is also based on the original position. In each time the feeding device 10 is started to realize the automatic feeding function for a dish to be cooked, the rotary disc 20 will be positioned to the reference position first. After the rotary disc 20 is positioned to the reference position, the rotary disc 20 is controlled to rotate in the supported rotation direction to rotate the feeding port connected to at least one ingredient bottle 11 to the corresponding discharging port 31 position in sequence to realize the automatic feeding function.

[0116] Here, considering that the angle of the rotary disc 20 is randomly installed when the user assembles the feeding device, there is a case that the rotary disc is in a non-set reference position, which will not facilitate the realization of the automatic feeding function; or the program running error occurs when the automatic feeding task is performed and needs to be reset to the reference position, etc., which all require the feeding device to have the function of automatically positioning the rotary disc to the reference position. Based on this, in order to realize the function of positioning the rotary disc 20 to the reference position, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 10b and Figure 12b The trigger 123 can also be provided on the rotary disc 20, and correspondingly, the sensing member 39 can also be provided on the base 30. The trigger 123 and the sensing member 39 are members that can trigger or cooperate with each other to generate a sensing signal, and the sensing signal will be different due to the different relative positions between the trigger 123 and the sensing member 39. The trigger 123 is provided on the rotary disc 20, and the rotary disc 20 rotates relative to the base 30, so the change of the relative position between the trigger 123 and the sensing member 39 is mainly caused by the rotation of the trigger 123 with the rotary disc 20. Of course, in other embodiments, in the case that the base 30 can rotate relative to the rotary disc 20, the change of the relative position between the trigger 123 and the sensing member 39 can also be caused by the rotation of the sensing member with the base, etc., which is not limited here.

[0117] In a specific arrangement, the arrangement position of the sensing member 39 on the base 30 and the arrangement position of the triggering member 123 on the rotating disc 20 are both associated with a reference position. For example, the arrangement position of the sensing member 39 can be the reference position or a position at a certain angle from the reference position, and the arrangement position of the triggering member 123 can also be the reference position or a position at a certain angle or distance from the reference position. In this way, based on the position relationship between the sensing member and the triggering member relative to the reference position, the rotating disc can be positioned at the reference position by the sensing signal between the sensing member 39 and the triggering member 123. For example, if the arrangement positions of the sensing member 39 and the triggering member 123 shown in Figs. 38 and 39 are both the reference positions, during the rotation of the rotating disc 20 relative to the base 30 to position the rotating disc 20 at the reference position, the rotating disc 20 can be stopped when the sensing signal between the sensing member 39 and the triggering member 123 reaches the maximum, so as to position the rotating disc 20 at the reference position. When the triggering member 123 is rotated to be aligned with the sensing member 112, i.e., the triggering member 123 is rotated to be aligned with the first feeding opening 311, the sensing signal between the triggering member 123 and the sensing member 112 reaches the maximum. Figure 10b Figure 12b When the rotating disc 20 is positioned at the reference position, the rotating disc 20 is shown in Fig. 40. For the specific implementation process of positioning the rotating disc at the reference position, please refer to the relevant contents in the following embodiments. Figure 19a

[0118] It should be noted that, in addition to the above-mentioned arrangement, in some other embodiments, the sensing member can be arranged on the rotating disc 20 and the triggering member can be arranged on the base 30, as long as there is a position signal change. The specific arrangement position and form of the sensing member and the triggering member are not limited in the present embodiment.

[0119] As shown in Figs. 41 and 42, after the rotating disc 20 is positioned at the reference position, based on the pre-stored position relationship of the feeding openings of the respective separation cavities on the rotating disc 20 and the relative position relationship of the data reader arranged relative to the reference position, the rotating disc can be controlled to rotate in a certain direction (e.g., counterclockwise or clockwise) to rotate the plurality of bottles inserted on the rotating disc to the position of the data reader one by one, and the data reader can be used to read the electronic tags of each bottle one by one, so as to obtain the respective stored information of the plurality of bottles. For example, referring to Figs. 41 and 42, the rotating disc 20 is rotated in the counterclockwise direction to rotate the bottles to the position of the data reader one by one, and the data reader reads the electronic tags of the bottles one by one. Figure 19a Figure 19a ​​​As shown, assuming that the data reader is arranged at the position of the discharging port 312, the rotating disc 20 can be first controlled to rotate 95° (i.e. 56.25°+56.25°+32.5°-50°) in the counterclockwise direction, so that the charging port 222 is aligned with the position of the discharging port 312. The data reader reads the electronic tag on the bottle in communication with the charging port 222, and stores the read data information in the corresponding memory in association with the charging port 222, and sends a feedback notification of completion of reading to the controller.

The corresponding program can be pre-written in the controller to control the implementation of the control method, the feeding method, etc. provided in each embodiment of the present application. In addition to being arranged on the main body, the controller can also be arranged on the feeding device. Regardless of where it is arranged, the controller can control the implementation of the control method, the feeding method, etc. provided in each embodiment of the present application. For how to control the implementation of the control method, the feeding method, etc. provided in each embodiment of the present application, please refer to the relevant content of each embodiment described below, which will not be described in detail here.

[0122] The present embodiment also provides a feeding device, which comprises a base 30 and a feeding unit 100. The base 30 has a material falling port 31; the feeding unit 100 is movably arranged on the base 30 and can move relative to the base 30, and the feeding unit 100 comprises a feeding port 22; during the movement of the feeding unit 100 relative to the base 30, the feeding port 22 and the material falling port 31 can be switched between an aligned state and a misaligned state; the base 30 and the feeding unit 100 have a preset gap therebetween, and when the feeding port 22 and the material falling port 31 are in the misaligned state, the material falling port 31 and the preset gap can be communicated to form a cleaning channel. It should be noted that the feeding device provided in the present embodiment has the same structure and function as the feeding device in the cooking device of the above-described embodiments, and for details, please refer to the description of the above-described embodiments, which will not be described here.

[0123] In some optional embodiments, a recess can be arranged on the base 30 towards one side of the turntable 20, the surface of the recess being lower than the surface where the material outlet 31 contacts the material inlet 22, and the recess forms a preset gap with the turntable 20. Therefore, when the material inlet 22 is rotated to be misaligned with the material outlet 31, and the material inlet 22 is above the recess of the base 30, the air or other cleaning medium in the preset gap can be delivered to the material outlet 31 to perform the emptying operation on the material outlet 31 and the subsequent material conveying pipeline 81, so as to deliver the remaining seasoning in the material outlet 31 and the material conveying pipeline 81 to the cooking container. It is worth noting that when the buffer structure 60 is arranged at the material outlet 31, the material inlet 21 is specifically arranged opposite to the buffer cavity 63 of the buffer structure 60 and in the above-mentioned aligned state.

[0124] Please refer again to Figure 4 , Figure 7a , Figure 7b and Figure 11 Further, the cooking device further comprises a material conveying pump 84, one end of the material conveying pipeline 81 is connected to the communication port 64, and the material conveying pump 84 is connected to the material conveying pipeline 81 to pump the seasoning in the material conveying pipeline 81 into the cooking container. In a specific operation, the driving member 83 receives a rotation control instruction, the controller can be electrically connected to the driving member 83, and the controller can be used to control the driving member 83 to act according to relevant information. The rotation instruction is issued by the controller, and the controller can specifically control the rotation angle of the driving member 83, the rotation direction of the driving member 83, etc. The turntable 20 and the seasoning bottle 11 are rotated to the required seasoning position and aligned with the material inlet 22, and the material conveying pump 84 receives a control instruction to open to perform negative pressure to draw the seasoning in the seasoning bottle 11. After the material conveying pump 84 is drawn to negative pressure, the valve core of the one-way valve 112 at the seasoning outlet 111 of the seasoning bottle 11 moves downward, so that the seasoning outlet 111 is opened, and the seasoning in the seasoning bottle 11 flows into the buffer cavity 63 through the seasoning outlet 111 and is pumped into the cooking container through the material conveying pipeline 81. The material conveying pump 84 can be a peristaltic pump. In addition, the cooking device further comprises a controller electrically connected to the material conveying pump 84, and the controller controls the material conveying pump 84 to pump the seasoning in the material conveying pipeline 81 into the cooking container. The controller can control the flow of the seasoning in the seasoning bottle 11 by controlling the working time of the material conveying pump 84, so as to realize accurate metering.

[0125] The inventor has also found through creative labor that the material feeding device in the related art is connected to the cooking container through one material conveying pipeline, and when cooking dishes, edible oil and other seasonings need to be added, and in some embodiments, other seasonings are usually in a liquid state, such as salt water, soy sauce, light soy sauce, white vinegar, and aged vinegar. When all the seasonings are delivered through one material conveying pipeline, it is very easy to cause oil and water to mix, and the phenomenon of a frying pot occurs.

[0126] To solve the above-mentioned specific technical problems, the cooking device provided by some embodiments of the present application comprises a main body 2000 and a feeding device 1000. The main body 2000 has a cooking container; the feeding device 1000 comprises a seasoning bottle assembly 10 containing seasoning, a first seasoning outlet 311 (such as the seasoning outlet 311 shown in Figure 7a 、 Figure 7b and Figure 12a ), a second seasoning outlet 312 (such as the seasoning outlet 312 shown in Figure 7a 、 Figure 7b and Figure 12a ), and a first seasoning conveying channel and a second seasoning conveying channel. Wherein, under the perspective of Figure 7a and Figure 7b , the first seasoning outlet 311 and the second seasoning outlet 312 are actually located at the buffer part 62, as indicated by the annotations 311 (62) and 312 (62) respectively. Wherein, the seasoning at least comprises edible oil and at least one liquid seasoning. It is worth noting that the liquid seasoning described in the present embodiment can be liquid seasoning, such as raw soy sauce, old soy sauce, aged vinegar, salt water, etc., and liquid seasoning containing moisture, such as liquid seasoning obtained by mixing peppercorn, chili, etc. into powder and mixing with water. The first seasoning conveying channel is in communication with the first seasoning outlet 311 and the main body 2000, the second seasoning conveying channel is in communication with the second seasoning outlet 311 and the main body 2000, and the first seasoning conveying channel and the second seasoning conveying channel can convey the above-mentioned seasoning to the cooking container; wherein, the first seasoning conveying channel is used for conveying liquid seasoning, and the second seasoning conveying channel is used for conveying edible oil. The first seasoning conveying channel and the second seasoning conveying channel in the present embodiment are isolated from each other and not in communication, so that the edible oil and other liquid seasoning can be conveyed separately.

[0127] In some embodiments, the feeding device 1000 is further provided with a first seasoning pump 841 and a second seasoning pump 842. As shown in Figure 7a and Figure 7bAs shown, the first material conveying channel comprises a first feeding pipe M1, a first discharging pipe N1 and a first material conveying pipe 811, one end of the first feeding pipe M1 is communicated with the first material falling port 311, the other end of the first feeding pipe M1 is communicated with the first material conveying pump 841, one end of the first discharging pipe N1 is communicated with the first material conveying pump 841, the other end of the first discharging pipe N1 is communicated with the first material conveying pipe M1; the first material conveying pipe M1 is connected to the main body 2000. The second material conveying channel comprises a second feeding pipe M2, a second discharging pipe N2 and a second material conveying pipe 812, one end of the second feeding pipe M2 is communicated with the second material falling port 312, the other end of the second feeding pipe M2 is communicated with the second material conveying pump 842, one end of the second discharging pipe N2 is communicated with the second material conveying pump 842, the other end of the second discharging pipe N2 is communicated with the second material conveying pipe 812; the second material conveying pipe 812 is connected to the main body 2000. The first material conveying pipe 811 and the second material conveying pipe 812 are collectively covered in the material conveying pipe protection sleeve 813. There can be a preset gap between the first material conveying pipe 811 and the second material conveying pipe 812, and the gap range is 5MM-30MM, preferably 18MM, to ensure a reasonable distance between the two material conveying pipes without mutual interference.

[0128] The first material conveying pipe 811, the second material conveying pipe 812 and the material conveying pipe protection sleeve 813 constitute a connecting pipe for connecting the main body 2000 and the material adding device 1000, and the two ends of the connecting pipe are detachably connected with the main body 2000 and the material adding device 1000 respectively. By collectively covering the first material conveying pipe 811 and the second material conveying pipe 812 through the material conveying pipe protection sleeve 813, the pipeline is avoided from being messy. And the two ends of the connecting pipe are detachably connected with the main body and the material adding device respectively, on the one hand, when the connecting pipe is aged or damaged, the connecting pipe can be conveniently replaced, on the other hand, the connecting pipe can be conveniently detached for separate cleaning. In some embodiments, the first material conveying pipe 811 is a flexible pipe. The second material conveying pipe 812 is a flexible pipe. The material conveying pipe protection sleeve 813 can also be a flexible sleeve. In order to be bent, so as to flexibly arrange the positions of the material adding device 1000 and the main body 2000 in the limited kitchen space.

[0129] It should be noted that the feeding device includes a plurality of bottles, and the plurality of bottles constitute a bottle assembly 10. Specifically, the bottle assembly 10 includes a first bottle and a second bottle. The second bottle is used to contain edible oil, and the second bottle can be in communication with the second feeding channel, so that the seasoning in the second bottle is conveyed to the cooking container through the second feeding channel. The first bottle includes a plurality of bottles, and each first bottle is used to contain a seasoning. For example, the second bottle includes four bottles, and the seasonings in each second bottle are different. For example, the four bottles contain salt and monosodium glutamate mixed liquid seasoning, soy sauce and vinegar mixed liquid seasoning, onion, ginger and chili mixed liquid seasoning, and water, respectively. Each first bottle can be in communication with the first feeding channel, so that the seasonings in the plurality of first bottles can be conveyed through the first feeding channel. It is worth noting that the seasonings in each first bottle are conveyed selectively, but are conveyed through the first feeding channel. In this embodiment, the edible oil is conveyed through one feeding channel, and the other liquid seasonings except the edible oil are conveyed through another feeding channel, which effectively avoids or improves the phenomenon of oil and water mixing, and also avoids the problem of disordered and complicated layout of the feeding device caused by too many feeding channels, and effectively saves costs.

[0130] Since the amount of edible oil used is large when cooking a dish, the volume of the bottle containing edible oil can be large. Other liquid seasonings can include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: salt and monosodium glutamate mixed liquid seasoning, soy sauce and vinegar mixed liquid seasoning, onion, ginger and chili mixed liquid seasoning, and water. In this embodiment, the edible oil seasoning is conveyed to the cooking container through the second feeding channel, and the other seasonings are conveyed to the cooking container through the first feeding channel, which can separate the conveyance of edible oil and other liquid seasonings, avoid the adhesion of edible oil to the sidewall of the pipeline conveying other seasonings, and thus effectively avoid or improve the phenomenon of oil and water mixing and causing the frying pot. In addition, when one of the first bottles contains water, the first feeding pump 841 can pump water to the first feeding pipe 811, so that the pipeline and the cooking container can be cleaned by pumping water during the addition of the remaining seasonings, thereby improving food safety.

[0131] The first feeding pump 841 and the second feeding pump 842 in this embodiment are used to provide power for suction and conveying of seasonings. By controlling the working time of the first feeding pump 841 and the second feeding pump 842, the output amount of the seasonings can be effectively controlled, and the quantitative feeding of the seasonings can be realized. In some embodiments, the first feeding pump 841 is a stepping pump, and the second feeding pump 842 is a direct current pump. The direct current pump is a general pump, which can pump a large amount of edible oil at a time, thereby realizing rapid feeding of the edible oil. The stepping pump can be a high-precision pump, which can pump a small amount of seasoning at a time, thereby realizing accurate feeding of the seasoning.

[0132] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 8, the first feeding channel and the second feeding channel are combined into one feeding channel, and the first feeding pump 841 and the second feeding pump 842 are combined into one feeding pump. The feeding pump can be controlled to selectively convey the seasonings in the first bottle and the second bottle to the cooking container through the feeding channel. Figure 7aAs shown, the feeding device may further include: a base 30, a first feeding pump 841, a second feeding pump 842, a first discharge port 311, and a second discharge port 312 disposed on the base 30; the feeding unit 100 has at least one first feeding port 221 and a second feeding port 222, and the material bottle 11 and the turntable 20 are movably connected to the base 30 and can move relative to each other. The relative movement of the material bottle 11 and the turntable 20 with respect to the base 30 includes, but is not limited to, rotation and linear movement. Figure 10a and Figure 10b The figure shows a feeding unit 100 having four first feeding ports 221, specifically including feeding ports 221b, 221c, 221d, and 221e, and a second feeding port 222 (i.e., the feeding port 222 shown in the figure).

[0133] Please see Figure 7a , Figure 19b and 19d As shown, when the first feeding port 221 aligns with the first discharge port 311, the first feeding pump 841 starts; when the second feeding port 222 aligns with the second discharge port 312, the second feeding pump 842 starts. The first feeding port 221 is used to communicate with the first material bottle, and the second feeding port 222 is used to communicate with the second material bottle. Communication between the feeding port and the material bottle means that the seasoning in the material bottle can flow out through the feeding port. A first one-way valve is provided at the first feeding port 221. When the first feeding pump 841 starts, it can open the first one-way valve, thus communicating the first feeding port with the first discharge port 311. A second one-way valve is provided at the second feeding port 212. When the second feeding pump 842 starts, it can open the second one-way valve, thus communicating the second feeding port with the second discharge port 312. In this embodiment, the structures of the first and second one-way valves can be the same, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the one-way valve has an elastic plunger. Under normal circumstances, the elastic plunger is pressed against the feed port by the spring force, thus closing the feed port. When the feed pump starts, the suction force generated by the feed pump will pull the spring plunger open, thereby connecting the feed port and the discharge port. The way the first feed pump 841 pulls open the first one-way valve can be the same as the way the second feed pump 842 pulls open the second one-way valve.

[0134] Furthermore, the base 30 is also equipped with a drive component 83 (such as...). Figure 7aThe driving member 83 is drivingly connected with the feeding unit 100 to drive the feeding unit 100 to rotate relative to the base 30. Specifically, the feeding unit 100 comprises the bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20, and the driving member 83 is drivingly connected with the rotating disc 20 to drive the rotating disc 20 and the bottle assembly 10 arranged on the rotating disc 20 to rotate, so as to switch the alignment or misalignment of the discharge port 111 on the bottle assembly 10 with the drop port 31 on the base 30. When a plurality of bottles 11 are arranged, the driving member 83 is used to drive the rotating disc 20 and the bottle assembly 10 to rotate, so as to switch the alignment of different feeding ports 22 with the drop port 31. The driving member 83 can comprise a motor, and the output shaft of the motor is rotationally connected with the rotating disc 20. Please refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 10a and Figure 12a The rotating disc 20 is located above the driving member 83, and one connection mode of the driving member 83 with the rotating disc 20 is that the driving member 83 comprises an output shaft (not shown in the figure), the output shaft is provided with a gear 831, and the rotating disc 20 is provided with a sawtooth that is engaged with the gear 831. Specifically, the side of the rotating disc 20 facing the output shaft is provided with a receiving groove 272, the groove wall of the receiving groove 272 is sawtooth-shaped and is engaged with the gear 831, and the rotating disc 20 is engaged with the driving member 83 through the receiving groove 272. Alternatively, a separate internal gear is mounted in the receiving groove 272 to be engaged with the gear 831 on the output shaft.

[0135] Further, the outer surface of the receiving groove 272 forms at least part of the partition cavities 21, and the outer surface of the receiving groove 272 is provided with an anti-stupid structure 273, which comprises a convex part 274 and a concave part 275. Optionally, the convex part 274 and the concave part 275 are distributed in different two partition cavities 21. In a specific embodiment, the convex part 274 is distributed in the first partition cavity 21, and the concave part 275 is distributed in the second partition cavity 21, and the cavity volume of the first partition cavity 21 is greater than that of the second partition cavity 21. Among them, the convex part 274 refers to the inward protrusion, so that the space of the partition cavity 21 is reduced. Correspondingly, the concave part 275 is outwardly concave, so that the space of the partition cavity 21 is increased. In addition, the center of the receiving groove 272 is located on the rotation axis of the rotating disc 20. Further, the center of the receiving groove 272 is also located on the overall center axis of the rotating disc 20. In this way, the output shaft of the driving member 83 is connected at the center position of the rotating disc 20, the rotating disc 20 is uniformly stressed, so that the rotating disc 20 can rotate more stably.

[0136] Another connection mode of the driving member 83 with the rotating disc 20 is that the rotating disc 20 is provided with a socket, the output shaft of the driving member 83 is insertedly matched with the socket on the rotating disc 20, and a plug pin is arranged to pass through the rotating disc 20 and the output shaft respectively, so as to avoid the disengagement of the rotating disc 20 from the output shaft of the driving member 83. Another connection mode of the driving member 83 with the rotating disc 20 is that the output shaft of the driving member 83 is a spline, and a matching hole corresponding to the spline is arranged on the rotating disc 20. Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7a In an embodiment, the driving member 83 is mounted in the base 30. In order to avoid the driving member 83 from being exposed, the driving member 83 is mounted inside the base 30. Alternatively, the driving member 83 is located at the center of the base 30, and the output shaft of the driving member 83 is drivingly connected to the middle of the rotary disc 20, i.e. the rotation axis of the rotary disc 20 passes through the central axis of the base 30.

[0137] As shown in Figure 7a and Figure 7b , the first material conveying pump 841, the driving member 83 and the second material conveying pump 842 can be arranged in the radial direction of the base 30. Specifically, the included angle between the first material conveying pump 841, the driving member 83 and the second material conveying pump 842 in the plane can be substantially 180°, or the angle between the three is 180°±5°. Since the three are arranged in the radial direction of the base 30, the space occupation in the up-down direction is reduced, the height of the base 30 is reduced, and the first material conveying pump 841 and the second material conveying pump 842 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the driving member 83, so that the weight of the base 30 on both sides is as equal as possible, and the stress is as balanced as possible. In this way, during the driving of the driving member 83 to drive the rotary disc 20 to rotate, the phenomenon of abnormal noise caused by the shaking of the base 30 due to the uneven weight distribution on both sides of the base 30 is avoided or improved.

[0138] Some other embodiments of the present application also provide a material conveying assembly 80 for connecting a first body and a second body. The first body and the second body can be any device that needs to transmit gaseous, liquid or even solid medium. The material conveying assembly 80 comprises a first material conveying pipeline 811, a second material conveying pipeline 812 and a material conveying pipeline protection sleeve 813. The second material conveying pipeline 812 and the first material conveying pipeline 811 can be arranged in parallel. The material conveying pipeline protection sleeve 813 collectively wraps the first material conveying pipeline 811 and the second material conveying pipeline 812. In addition, for the cooking device provided by the embodiments of the present application, in order to facilitate the overall storage of the material adding unit 100, as shown in Figure 2 , further, the cooking device further comprises a housing 400 (as shown in Figure 1bThe shell 400 is connected with the base 30 to jointly enclose an inner cavity, and the feeding unit 100 is at least partially located in the inner cavity. Specifically, one end of the shell 400 is provided with an opening, and the base 30 covers the opening of the shell 400. In the embodiment of the present application, the shell 400 can be formed by a plurality of structures, for example, a plurality of structures arranged in the height direction or a plurality of structures spliced in the width direction. Of course, the shell 400 can be a complete shell structure to reduce the assembly process. The shape of the shell 400 includes but is not limited to a cylindrical shape, a square shell shape, or a hemispherical shape. In a preferred embodiment, the shell 400 is cylindrical to facilitate the rotation of the internal feeding unit 400 relative to it.

[0139] In some embodiments of the present application, the shell 400 includes an outer barrel 40 and a middle barrel 50, and the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 are connected to enclose an inner cavity, and the feeding unit 100 is at least partially located in the inner cavity. In some specific embodiments, the outer barrel 40, the middle barrel 50, and the base 30 are sequentially stacked in the height direction to jointly enclose the inner cavity, and the base 30 closes one end of the middle barrel 50. The turntable 20 of the feeding unit 100 is located in the inner cavity, and the turntable 20 is located on the side of the bottle assembly 10 facing the base 30. The bottle assembly 10 is at least partially located in the inner cavity, and the bottle assembly 10 is mounted on the turntable 20. The bottle assembly 10 being at least partially located in the inner cavity means that the bottle assembly 10 can be partially exposed outside the inner cavity, for example, the top of the bottle assembly 10 can protrude from the outer barrel 40. Of course, the bottle assembly 10 can also be entirely located in the inner cavity. In the embodiment of the present application, the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 jointly enclose the turntable 20 and the bottle assembly 10, and when the driving member 83 drives the turntable 20 and the bottle assembly 10 to rotate, the turntable 20 and the bottle assembly 10 rotate relative to the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50. The outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 can wrap a plurality of bottle assemblies 10 and turntables 20 to avoid interference between external objects and rotating parts, and at the same time, the space enclosed by the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 protects the rotating parts. The entire structure is equivalent to forming an inner and outer two-layer structure, and the inner layer is the upper and lower distributed bottle assembly 10, turntable 20, and driving member 83, and the outer layer is the upper and lower distributed outer barrel 40, middle barrel 50, and base 30. The overall structure is compact and the layout is reasonable. In this way, the situation of excessive width caused by the overall inner and outer distribution or excessive height caused by the overall upper and lower distribution is avoided.

[0140] In an embodiment, the outer barrel 40 is closed at one end and open at the other end, the middle barrel 50 is through at both ends, one end of the middle barrel 50 is connected with the open end of the outer barrel 40 and covers the top end of the rotating disc 20, the rotating disc 20 is located in the middle barrel 50, and the other end of the middle barrel 50 also covers the base 30. In this embodiment, the bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 are all located in the space formed by the combination of the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50, so as to avoid collision with external objects. At the same time, the outer barrel 40 has a closed end, and the bottle assembly 10 is covered in the outer barrel 40, so as to avoid the bottle assembly 10 from being exposed to the outside, and also prevent foreign matters from falling into the bottle assembly 10, for example, to avoid dust and oil fume from accumulating on the bottle assembly 10, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the bottle assembly 10.

[0141] Please refer to Figure 6 In the embodiment of the present application, the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 are connected with each other, and one of the connection modes is that the outer barrel 40 is provided with a first magnetic attraction member 41, the middle barrel 50 is provided with a second magnetic attraction member 51, and the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50 are connected by the first magnetic attraction member 41 and the second magnetic attraction member 51. One of the first magnetic attraction member 41 and the second magnetic attraction member 51 can be a magnet, and the other can be a metal block. Of course, both the first magnetic attraction member 41 and the second magnetic attraction member 51 can be magnets. The magnetic attraction mode can realize rapid disassembly and assembly of the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50, and the disassembly and assembly process is simple and efficient. Moreover, the magnetic attraction mode is a detachable mode, which is beneficial to disassembly and separation of the outer barrel 40 and the middle barrel 50.

[0142] In the embodiment of the present application, the middle barrel 50 is connected with the base 30, that is, the upper end of the middle barrel 50 is connected with the outer barrel 40, and the lower end of the middle barrel 50 is connected with the base 30. For the convenience of disassembly and assembly, the middle barrel 50 and the base 30 are detachably connected. There are various modes for connecting the middle barrel 50 with the base 30, and one of the modes is that the side surface of the base 30 is provided with a limiting groove 36, the inner wall of the middle barrel 50 is provided with a limiting rib 55, the middle barrel 50 is sleeved on the outer side surface of the base 30, and the limiting rib 55 is slid into the limiting groove 36 by rotating the middle barrel 50 by a preset angle to be clamped.

[0143] Please refer to Figure 14, specifically, the side of the base 30 is provided with a first blocking rib 33 extending along the circumference of the base 30, and the limiting rib 55 abuts against one side of the first blocking rib 33 away from the outer barrel 40 to limit the disengagement of the middle barrel 50 from the base 30 in the direction of the outer barrel 40. Optionally, the first blocking rib 33 is provided with a positioning protrusion 35, and the limiting rib 55 is provided with a positioning groove 56 to cooperate with the positioning protrusion 35, thereby limiting the rotation of the middle barrel 50 relative to the base 30. Further, the side of the base 30 is also provided with a second blocking rib 34 connected to one end of the first blocking rib 33 and protruding from the side of the first blocking rib 33 away from the outer barrel 40, and the limiting rib 55 can abut against the second blocking rib 34 to limit the continued rotation of the middle barrel 50 relative to the base 30. Optionally, the base 30 has a small end 37 and a large end 38 connected, and the first blocking rib 33 and the second blocking rib 34 are arranged at the small end 37, and a limiting groove 36 is formed between the end face of the first blocking rib 33 and the large end 38. During installation, the middle barrel 50 is first sleeved on the outside of the base 30, and the limiting rib 55 is misaligned with the first blocking rib 33, then the middle barrel 50 is rotated so that the limiting rib 55 slides into the limiting groove 36 until the end of the limiting rib 55 abuts against the second blocking rib 34, and at the same time, the positioning protrusion 35 cooperates with the positioning groove 56 to stop rotating the middle barrel 50. At this time, the upper end of the limiting rib 55 abuts against the lower end of the first blocking rib 33 to limit the upward movement of the middle barrel 50, and the lower end of the limiting rib 55 abuts against the end face of the large end 38 of the base 30 to limit the downward movement of the middle barrel 50, the end of the limiting rib 55 abuts against the second blocking rib 34 to limit the continued rotation of the middle barrel 50, and the positioning groove 56 on the limiting rib 55 cooperates with the positioning protrusion 35 on the first blocking rib 33 to limit the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the middle barrel 50.

[0144] Please refer again to Figure 6 To avoid the rotating disc 20 from disengaging from the middle barrel 50 and entering the outer barrel 40, further, the inner circumferential wall of the middle barrel 50 is provided with an abutting rib 52 abutting against one end of the rotating disc 20 facing the outer barrel 40, thereby avoiding the vertical movement of the rotating disc 20 during rotation. In an embodiment, the end of the abutting rib 52 is provided with a protrusion 53 protruding towards the side of the outer barrel 40, and the abutting rib 52, the protrusion 53 and the inner wall of the middle barrel 50 together form an installation groove 54. Of course, in other embodiments, the installation groove 54 can also be directly formed in the end face of the middle barrel 50. Since the rotating disc 20 needs to rotate relative to the middle barrel 50, in order to reduce the friction between the rotating disc 20 and the middle barrel 50 and ensure smooth rotation of the rotating disc 20, in an embodiment, the end face of the rotating disc 20 facing the outer barrel 40 is provided with a plurality of elastic support columns 28 distributed circumferentially along the rotation direction of the rotating disc 20; and the abutting rib 52 abuts against the elastic support column 28.

[0145] In the embodiment, the rotating disc 20 abuts against the abutting rib 52 on the middle barrel 50 through the elastic supporting column 28. On the one hand, the elastic supporting column 28 is deformed elastically to adapt to the extrusion in the rotating process of the rotating disc 20, so as to prevent the rotating disc 20 from being stuck or interfered with the middle barrel 50. On the other hand, the elastic supporting column 28 changes the contact between the rotating disc 20 and the abutting rib 52 from surface contact to point contact, so that the contact area is reduced and the frictional resistance is reduced, thereby facilitating the flexible rotation of the rotating disc 20 relative to the middle barrel 50. In another embodiment, the end surface of the rotating disc 20 facing the outer barrel 40 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially distributed small rollers. The small rollers assist the rotating disc 20 to rotate relative to the middle barrel 50 and reduce the friction. Please refer to Figure 5 In order to make the rotating disc 20 rotate more smoothly, the rotating disc 20 and the base 30 are provided with a rolling element 29. The rotating disc 20 is rotatably connected to the base 30 through the rolling element 29. The rolling element 29 includes but is not limited to a ball, a roller and a roller pin. The rolling element 29 can be arranged on one of the rotating disc 20 and the base 30, or the rotating disc 20 and the base 30 are both provided with the rolling element 29. The rolling element 29 can reduce the friction between the rotating disc 20 and the base 30, so that the rotating disc 20 rotates more smoothly, and the wear of the rotating disc 20 and the base 30 is reduced, thereby prolonging the service life.

[0146] In an embodiment, the driving member 83 is located at the center of the base 30, the output shaft of the driving member 83 is drivingly connected to the middle of the rotating disc 20, the feeding pump 84 is located at the side of the driving member 83, and the feeding pipeline 81 penetrates through the side of the base 30. In the embodiment, the driving member 83, the feeding pump 84 and the feeding pipeline 81 are all concentrated in the base 30, and the three are arranged in the transverse direction, thereby reducing the space occupation in the up-down direction and reducing the height of the base 30. In addition, the bottle assembly 10 and the rotating disc 20 are located inside the middle barrel 50 and the outer barrel 40, and the driving member 83 is located inside the base 30, which is equivalent to forming an inner-outer two-layer structure. The outer barrel 40, the middle barrel 50 and the base 30 of the outer layer are arranged in the up-down direction, and the bottle assembly 10, the rotating disc 20 and the driving member 83 of the inner layer are also arranged in the up-down direction. In this way, the overall height caused by the arrangement of all structures in the up-down direction is avoided, and the problem of excessive transverse size caused by the arrangement of all structures inside and outside is also avoided. In addition, the arrangement of the bottles 11, the rotating disc 20 and the base 30 in the up-down direction makes the seasonings in the bottles 11 more easily flow out of the bottles 11, so that the discharge of the bottles 11 is cleaner, the flowed-out seasonings are not easy to flow back, and the occurrence of cross-flavor is reduced.

[0147] FIG. 20 shows a flowchart of a control method according to an embodiment of the present application. The control method can be applied to the cooking device as shown in Figure 1a FIG. 20. As shown in FIG. 20, the control method includes the following steps:

[0148] 101. Control the first driving unit to rotate to drive the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle outlet and the target drop port position alignment;

[0149] 102. Control the second driving unit corresponding to the target drop port to act, so that the target seasoning is added to the cooking container through the target drop port and the target drop port corresponding to the material pipeline;

[0150] 103. Control the first driving unit to continue to act, so that the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle outlet and the target drop port position dislocation, external air into the target drop port;

[0151] 104. Control the second driving unit to continue to act, so that the external air empties the residual target seasoning in the material pipeline.

[0152] In the implementation, please refer to Figure 1a , Figure 2 and Figures 7a to 7b mentioned in the above 101 to 104, the first driving unit can refer to the driving member 83 provided in the cooking device. Specifically, the driving member 83 can be arranged inside the base 30 of the feeding device 1000, and the base 30 is rotationally connected with the turntable 20 through the driving member 83. The base 30 is provided with a plurality of drop ports 31. When the driving member 83 is controlled to rotate, the turntable 20 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the bottle 11 inserted on the turntable 20 to act, so that the bottle outlet of the bottle 11 is aligned with the corresponding drop port 31. The second driving unit can refer to the material feeding pump 84 provided in the cooking device. One material feeding pump 84 corresponds to one drop port 31. When the bottle outlet of a bottle 11 is aligned with the corresponding drop port 31, the material feeding pump 84 is controlled to be opened, and the material feeding pump 84 starts to act to generate negative pressure in the space corresponding to the drop port 31. Due to the negative pressure, the one-way valve at the bottle outlet of the bottle 11 can be opened, so that the seasoning in the bottle 11 is added to the cooking container through the drop port 31 and the corresponding material pipeline. When the bottle outlet of a bottle 11 is misaligned with the corresponding drop port 31, due to the gap space between the drop port 31 and the bottom of the turntable 20, external air can enter the drop port 31 through the gap space. In this state, the material feeding pump 84 is controlled to act, which can drive the flow of external air. Under the driving of the external air flow, the residual seasoning in the drop port 31 and the material pipeline can be emptied. For specific description of the driving member 83 and the material feeding pump 84, please refer to the related contents in the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0153] In an achievable technical solution, the above-mentioned 101 "control the first driving unit to rotate to drive the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle outlet and the target drop port position alignment" can specifically include:

[0154] 1011. Obtain the relevant information of the target seasoning;

[0155] 1012、based on the relevant information, control the first driving unit to rotate to drive the target seasoning corresponding to the material bottle The discharge port of the target drop port position is aligned.

[0156] In practical application, in a specific application scenario, such as Figure 1a In the cooking application scenario shown, the host body 2000 or the terminal device (such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal computer, etc., not shown in the figure) in communication connection with the host body 2000 is generally pre-installed with a digital recipe, so that the user can select the digital recipe of the desired cooking dish. For example, Figure 1a The host body 2000 shown in the pre-installed digital recipe, the user can trigger the corresponding operation through the interactive interface provided by the host body 2000 for the digital recipe, in order to select the digital recipe of the desired cooking dish; Wherein, the interactive interface can be set on the base 22 of the cooking device; Or, when the user terminal device is installed with the APP corresponding to the cooking device, the APP is in communication connection with the host body 2000, and the user can also select the digital recipe of the desired cooking dish from the digital recipe through the interactive interface provided by the corresponding APP. The digital recipe contains the ingredient information of the dish corresponding to the required food, the required seasoning, etc., and the host body 2000 responds to the user's selection operation, obtains the digital recipe of the dish the user wants to cook, and also obtains the data content of the cooking dish required step information and added seasoning information. The host body 2000 can determine the relevant information of the target seasoning required to be put based on the data content corresponding to the cooking dish, and can send the relevant information of the target seasoning to the feeding device 1000 through wireless communication (such as Bluetooth), so that the controller in the feeding device 1000 can execute the above-mentioned 101 to 104 feeding control logic based on the received relevant information of the target seasoning.

[0157] Based on the above description, that is, the relevant information of the target seasoning in the above-mentioned 1011 can be obtained by the controller from the host body 20. Wherein, the host body 2000 can obtain the relevant information of the target seasoning by the following way: in response to the selection operation triggered by the user through the interactive interface, the data content corresponding to the dish the user wants to cook is obtained according to the selection operation; According to the data content, the relevant information of the target seasoning is determined.

[0158] The related information of the target seasoning can include, but is not limited to, a seasoning label, a seasoning category, a required amount of seasoning, a seasoning dispensing time, etc. The seasoning label includes at least one of a seasoning name and a bottle name; the seasoning category includes at least one of a mixed liquid seasoning, an oil seasoning, and water; the required amount of seasoning includes at least one of a weight and a volume; and the seasoning dispensing time includes at least one of a start time, an end time, and a process duration of dispensing the seasoning. In addition, when the target seasoning is multiple, the related information can further include a priority order of the multiple target seasonings, so that subsequent execution of the seasoning control logic provided in the embodiment is performed for each of the multiple target seasonings in the priority order.

[0159] After obtaining the related information of the target seasoning, subsequent determination of the target dispensing opening dedicated to dispensing the target seasoning, the bottle storing the target seasoning, etc. can be achieved according to the pre-stored data in the memory. For example, based on the obtained category of the target seasoning, the target dispensing opening dedicated to dispensing the target seasoning can be selected from the multiple dispensing openings in combination with the pre-stored correspondence between the multiple dispensing openings on the turntable and the seasoning categories; or based on the obtained identification of the target seasoning, the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning bottle can be determined in combination with the pre-stored information of the seasonings stored in the multiple bottles, etc. Based on the determined bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target dispensing opening, in combination with the pre-stored data information (such as the correspondence between the bottles and the dispensing openings, the relative positional relationship between the multiple dispensing openings, etc.), the target seasoning can be added through the target dispensing opening by controlling the rotation of the turntable to move the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning, so that the dispensing opening of the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is aligned with the target dispensing opening, thereby achieving the addition of the target seasoning through the target dispensing opening.

[0160] That is, the "controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the dispensing opening of the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to be aligned with the target dispensing opening based on the related information" in the above 1012 can specifically include:

[0161] 10121, selecting a dispensing opening from the multiple dispensing openings as the target dispensing opening based on the related information;

[0162] 10122, determining a second relative positional relationship between the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning and the target dispensing opening;

[0163] 10123, controlling the first driving unit to rotate to drive the dispensing opening of the bottle corresponding to the target seasoning to be aligned with the target dispensing opening based on the second relative positional relationship.

[0164] In a specific implementable technical solution, the step 10121 of "selecting one drop port from the plurality of drop ports as the target drop port based on the related information" can specifically include the following steps:

[0165] A11, determining the category to which the target condiment belongs based on the related information;

[0166] A12, selecting one drop port dedicated to dispensing the condiments of the category to which the target condiment belongs from the plurality of drop ports as the target drop port.

[0167] Further, the step A12 of "selecting one drop port dedicated to dispensing the condiments of the category to which the target condiment belongs from the plurality of drop ports as the target drop port based on the category to which the target condiment belongs" can be implemented by the following steps:

[0168] A121, obtaining a correspondence between the plurality of drop ports and the categories of condiments;

[0169] A122, selecting one drop port dedicated to dispensing the condiments of the category to which the target condiment belongs from the plurality of drop ports as the target drop port based on the correspondence and the category to which the target condiment belongs.

[0170] In specific implementation, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 12a , the plurality of drop ports are located on the base 30 of the feeding device 1000. The correspondence between the drop ports and the categories of condiments describes which categories of condiments the drop ports can be used to dispense. For example, referring to the top view of the base 30 shown in Figure 12b , two drop ports, i.e., a first drop port 311 and a second drop port 312, are provided on the base 30. To achieve oil-water separation and dispensing, the second drop port 312 can be set to be used only for dispensing oil condiments such as peanut oil, soybean oil, and other edible oils, and the first drop port 311 can be used for dispensing other non-oil condiments such as vinegar, light soy sauce, cooking wine, soy sauce, and water. Based on this, if the category to which the target condiment belongs is edible oil, the selected target drop port is the second drop port 312, and otherwise, if the category to which the target condiment belongs is other non-oil condiment, the corresponding selected target drop port is the first drop port 311.

[0171] In the step 10122, the bottle corresponding to the target condiment can be determined based on the obtained identification of the target condiment and the stored information of the condiments stored in each of the plurality of bottles. The information of the condiments stored in each of the plurality of bottles can be obtained by using Figure 1a and Figure 2The feeding device 1000 shown in the figure carries out feeding. After positioning the turntable 20 to the reference position, the rotation of the turntable 20 is controlled, the electronic tag (such as an NFC tag) arranged on the bottle is read by the data reader (such as an NFC reader) arranged on the base, and the information is obtained and stored; or in the case that each feeding port on the turntable 20 is adapted to be inserted with a fixed bottle, the seasonings stored in the plurality of bottles can be fixed. In this case, the seasoning information stored in the plurality of bottles will be pre-stored, and the corresponding insertion relationship between the bottle and the feeding port will also be pre-stored. For the determination process of the seasoning information stored in the plurality of bottles, please refer to the above related content, which will not be described in detail here.

[0172] The seasoning information stored in the bottle can include but is not limited to bottle identification, seasoning stored in the bottle, seasoning category, seasoning delivery time, etc. When storing the seasoning information of the bottle, the seasoning information of the bottle and the feeding port corresponding to the bottle can be associated and stored in the corresponding memory in the data storage form shown in Table 1 for calling when needed.

[0174] In a specific implementable technical solution, the above-mentioned 10122 "determining the second relative position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the target feeding port" can specifically include:

[0175] A21, obtaining a first position relationship between the current position and the reference position;

[0176] A22, obtaining a second position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the reference position;

[0177] A23, obtaining a third position relationship between the target feeding port and the reference position;

[0178] A24, according to the first position relationship, the second position relationship and the third position relationship, calculating the second relative position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the target feeding port.

[0179] In actual implementation, the reference position refers to the original position, and before the feeding device 1000 is started each time to realize the 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. Correspondingly, the current position refers to the position of the current turntable. In some embodiments, the current position can be the reference position or other non-reference positions, which is determined by the cooking stage in which the dish to be cooked is located. The technical solution provided in this embodiment is to avoid flavor mixing when different seasonings are fed through the same feeding port, and also to ensure the accuracy and precision of feeding. After feeding through one feeding port is completed each time, residual seasoning is discharged from the feeding port each time. Feeding is completed by aligning the discharge port of the seasoning bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with the position of the target feeding port. Specifically, since the discharge port of the seasoning bottle is in communication with a corresponding feeding port on the turntable when the seasoning bottle is inserted into the turntable, feeding is completed by aligning the feeding port in communication with the seasoning bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with the position of the target feeding port. The discharge of residual seasoning can be achieved by misaligning the seasoning bottle corresponding to the target seasoning with the position of the target feeding port to enable external air to enter the target feeding port. For details, see the related content below, which is not described here.

[0180] Based on this, when the position relationship between the current position and the reference position is obtained in this step, the current position of the turntable can be the reference position or other non-reference positions according to the feeding of other target seasonings that has been performed. For example, when the turntable 20 is at the current position, the discharge position 122 adjacent to the feeding port in communication with the seasoning bottle corresponding to the last target seasoning on the turntable is aligned with the position of the feeding port dedicated to the last target seasoning. For example, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, it is assumed that the discharge position 122a between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 121b on the turntable 20 is aligned with the position of the second feeding port 312 when the turntable 20 is at the current position. Figure 19c In addition, as shown in FIGS. 13A and 13B, it is assumed that the discharge position 122b between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 121a on the turntable 20 is aligned with the position of the first feeding port 311 when the turntable 20 is at the current position. Figure 10b Figure 12b 19a As shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, the trigger 123 and the sensing member 39 are arranged at the reference position, and the trigger 123 on the turntable 20 is aligned with the position of the first feeding port 311 when the turntable 20 is positioned to the reference position (as shown in FIG. 12A). Figure 19a ​​), the position relationship between each filling port on the rotary disc, each emptying position and the reference position (i.e. the position of the trigger 123) (or the position relationship between each dropping port on the base and the reference position) is described in the following way: the included angle between each filling port 22 (or emptying position 122) and the reference position in the first direction is expressed by a positive included angle, and the included angle between each filling port 22 (or emptying position 122) and the reference position in the second direction is expressed by a negative included angle; wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction. Exemplarily, referring to Fig. 6, the included angle between the filling port 121e on the rotary disc and the reference position in the first direction (e.g. clockwise direction) is 32.5°, and the included angle between the filling port 121d and the reference position in the second direction (e.g. counterclockwise direction) is -62.5° (i.e. -15° - 47.5°). Figure 19a When the rotary disc 20 is in the current position as shown in Fig. 6, the included angle between the current position and the reference position in the first direction (e.g. clockwise direction) is specifically: the included angle between the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e. the position of the trigger 123) is 176.25° (i.e. 31.25° + 56.25° + 56.25° + 31.25° + 31.25° + 8.75°), the included angle between the second dropping port 312 aligned with the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e. the position of the first dropping port 311) is 50°. Figure 19c

[0181] 32.5°), the included angle between the second dropping port 312 aligned with the current emptying position 122a and the reference position (i.e. the position of the first dropping port 311) is 50°. In addition, assuming that the target flavor corresponding to the bottle required to be dispensed at present is communicated with the filling port 121c, and the first dropping port 311 is used to dispense the target flavor, the included angle between the bottle corresponding to the target flavor (i.e. the filling port 121c) and the corresponding position of the reference position (i.e. the position of the trigger 123) in the first direction is 252.5° (i.e. 22.5° + 22.5° + 31.25° + 31.25° + 56.25° + 56.25° + 32.5°), and the included angle between the target dropping port and the corresponding position of the reference position (i.e. the first dropping port 311) is 0°, thus the positive included angle between the bottle corresponding to the target flavor and the corresponding position of the target dropping port in the first direction is 126.25° (i.e. 252.5° - 176.25° + (50° - 0), which indicates that the rotary disc 20 needs to be controlled to rotate 126.25° in the second direction (e.g. counterclockwise direction) to align the bottle corresponding to the target flavor with the target dropping port, so as to realize the filling of the target flavor through the corresponding target dropping port. Similarly, the negative included angle between the bottle corresponding to the target flavor and the corresponding position of the target dropping port in the second direction can also be calculated, which indicates that the rotary disc 20 needs to be controlled to rotate in the first direction to align the bottle corresponding to the target flavor with the target dropping port.

[0182] ​As can be seen from the above examples, the second relative position relationship between the target ingredient corresponding bottle and the target drop opening obtained above can include a second included angle and a second rotation direction between the corresponding positions of the target ingredient corresponding bottle and the target drop opening. The second rotation direction refers to the rotation direction corresponding to the control of the rotating disc. Based on this, one of the technical solutions that can be implemented based on the second relative position relationship in the above 10123 is:

[0183] controlling the first driving unit to drive the target ingredient corresponding bottle to rotate the second included angle in the second rotation direction, so that the discharge opening of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is aligned with the target drop opening.

[0184] In specific implementation, please refer to Figure 7a As shown, based on the determined second relative position relationship, a corresponding control instruction can be generated; the control instruction is sent to the first driving unit, specifically, the control instruction is sent to the driving member 83, and the driving member 83 can rotate the rotating disc by a specified included angle in a rotation direction according to the received control instruction, so as to drive the target ingredient corresponding bottle to rotate the specified included angle in the rotation direction, so that the discharge opening of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is aligned with the target drop position. For example, based on the example in the above step 10122, assuming that the discharge opening of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is in communication with the feeding opening 121c on the rotating disc, and correspondingly, the determined relative position relationship between the target ingredient corresponding bottle and the target drop opening (i.e., the first drop opening 311) includes a second included angle of 126.25° between the target ingredient corresponding bottle and the target drop corresponding position, and a second rotation direction of counterclockwise, then the driving member 83 will drive the rotating disc 20 to rotate 126.25° in the counterclockwise direction according to the received control instruction, so as to drive the target ingredient corresponding bottle to rotate 126.25° in the counterclockwise direction, so that the discharge opening of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is aligned with the target drop opening (as shown in Figure 19d ).

[0185] After the discharge opening of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is aligned with the target drop opening, the ingredient in the target bottle can be extracted from the target bottle by controlling the corresponding second driving unit of the target drop opening. In specific implementation, the corresponding second driving unit of the target drop can be determined based on the pre-stored corresponding relationship between the drop opening 31 and the second driving unit member, 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 ingredient in the bottle. Based on this, in one of the technical solutions that can be implemented, the above 102 "controlling the second driving unit corresponding to the target drop opening to act, so that the target ingredient is fed into the cooking container through the target drop opening and the target drop opening corresponding feeding pipeline", can specifically include the following steps:

[0186] 1021、acquire a driving identifier corresponding to the target drop port;

[0187] 1022、send a material extraction instruction to a second driving unit corresponding to the driving identifier, so that the second driving unit acts, so that a space corresponding to the target drop port generates a negative pressure, and the outlet of the target material bottle corresponding to the target seasoning is opened due to the action of the negative pressure, thereby realizing feeding through the target drop port and the material conveying pipeline corresponding to the target drop port.

[0188] For example, see Figure 19d Continuing the above example, the outlet of the target material bottle corresponding to the seasoning is in communication with the feeding port 121c on the turntable 20, and after the outlet of the target material bottle corresponding to the seasoning is aligned with the target drop port (i.e., the first drop port 311 shown in the figure), the feeding port 121c will be tightly fitted and aligned with the first drop port 311 to form a sealed cavity. The second driving unit (such as the first material conveying pump 841 shown in Figure 7a and Figure 7b ) corresponding to the first drop port 311 works based on the received material extraction instruction, at this time, the second driving unit extracts negative pressure to open the one-way valve at the outlet of the target material bottle 11, so that the target material in the bottle falls into the first drop port 311, and then under the action of the first material conveying pump 841, it is sent into the cooking container through the corresponding material conveying pipeline (such as the first material conveying pipeline 811 shown in Figure 7a ), so as to realize feeding through the first drop port 311 and the second material conveying pipeline 811 corresponding to the first drop port 311.

[0189] Further, when controlling the action of the corresponding second driving unit, it can also be monitored whether the time of the second driving unit action reaches a time condition, so as to control the second driving unit to stop acting when the time condition is reached, so that the outlet of the target material bottle corresponding to the seasoning is closed, and the feeding is completed. Based on this, the method provided by the embodiment can also include:

[0190] 1023、monitor whether the time of the second driving unit action reaches a second time condition;

[0191] 1024、when the second time condition is reached, send a stop instruction to the second driving unit to stop the action of the second driving unit, and the target seasoning feeding is completed.

[0192] In specific implementation, the second time condition can be, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: duration of the process of dispensing the seasoning, end time of dispensing the seasoning. In the case where the seasoning dispensing time, such as the duration of the process of dispensing the seasoning, the end time of dispensing the seasoning, etc., is directly included in the obtained relevant information of the target seasoning, the time condition can be directly obtained from the relevant information. In the case where the seasoning dispensing time is not included in the relevant information, it can be calculated based on the required dispensing amount of the seasoning in the relevant information and the working power of the second driving unit, such as the required dispensing amount of the seasoning is 6 grams, and the second driving unit can add 2 grams of seasoning into the cooking container per second, then only the required duration of the process of dispensing the seasoning is calculated to be 3 seconds, that is, the second driving unit needs to work for 3 seconds.

[0193] Suppose the obtained second time condition is that the second driving unit needs to work for 3 seconds, and based on the above examples in steps 1021 to 1022, when the time of monitoring the action of the first feeding pump 841 reaches 3 seconds, the controller can send a stop instruction to the first feeding pump 841, and the first feeding pump 841 stops acting based on the received stop instruction. Accordingly, the one-way valve at the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle 11 is closed, and the target seasoning is added through the first discharge port 311.

[0194] Here, considering that after the target seasoning is added through the first discharge port 311, there is often residual target seasoning in the first discharge port 311 and the first feeding pipeline 811 corresponding to the first discharge port 311. In this case, if the residual target seasoning is not processed, it may affect the accuracy of the target seasoning addition, and in addition, if the next target seasoning is added through the first discharge port 311 again, it may cause flavoring due to different seasonings. To solve this problem, the embodiment will also perform a residual seasoning emptying operation for each discharge port after the addition is completed. In specific implementation, as described in 103 above, after the target seasoning addition is completed, the first driving unit is controlled to continue rotating to drive the target seasoning corresponding bottle 11 to act, so that the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target discharge port, so that external air enters the target discharge port to realize the emptying of the residual target seasoning in the target discharge port and the corresponding feeding pipeline.

[0195] In one achievable technical solution, the "controlling the first driving unit to continue rotating so that the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target discharge port" in 103 above can specifically include:

[0196] 1031, determining a first rotation direction and a rotation angle;

[0197] 1032、control the first driving unit to drive the target ingredient corresponding bottle to rotate along the first rotation direction by the rotation angle, so that the discharge port of the target ingredient corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target discharge port position.

[0198] In 1031, the first rotation direction refers to the rotation direction corresponding to the control of the rotating disc. The first rotation direction can be pre-set or determined according to the positional relationship between the target ingredient corresponding bottle and the next target ingredient corresponding bottle to be dispensed. When the first rotation direction is pre-set, the emptying position adjacent to the target ingredient corresponding bottle along the opposite direction of the first rotation direction can be determined, as well as the included angle between the emptying position and the position of the target ingredient corresponding bottle, which is the rotation angle. For example, continue to refer to Figure 19d Based on the above examples in steps 1023 to 1024, assuming that the pre-set first rotation direction is counterclockwise, the ingredient inlet 121d adjacent to the ingredient inlet 121c connected to the target ingredient corresponding bottle can be determined first along the clockwise direction, and the corresponding emptying position adjacent to the target ingredient corresponding bottle can be determined based on the included angle between the ingredient inlet 121c and the ingredient inlet 121d (i.e. 45°). For example, the emptying position can be located at the middle position between the ingredient inlet 121c and the ingredient inlet 121d, that is, the included angle between the emptying position and the ingredient inlet 121c along the clockwise direction is 22.5°. Figure 19d The small circle located at the middle position between the ingredient inlet 121c and the ingredient inlet 121d shown in the above figure is the schematically marked emptying position.

[0199] Alternatively, when the first rotation direction is determined according to the relative positional relationship between the next target ingredient corresponding bottle to be dispensed and the corresponding target discharge port, a similar method as described above can be used to determine the rotation angle. The specific determination process can be referred to the above process. The relative positional relationship between the next target ingredient corresponding bottle to be dispensed and the corresponding target discharge port can be determined according to the principle that the required rotation angle is the smallest when the rotating disc 20 is driven to rotate so that the next target ingredient corresponding bottle to be dispensed is aligned with the corresponding target discharge port. Specifically, for example, continue to refer to Figure 19dAnd taking the example in the above steps 1023 to 1024, assuming that the target seasoning corresponding to the next required dispensing corresponds to the bottle being communicated with the filling port 121b, and it is required to be dispensed through the first dropping port 311, it is calculated that the control disc only needs to be rotated by 45° (i.e. 22.5°+22.5°) in the clockwise direction to make the filling port 121b and the first dropping port 311 position aligned, and the control disc rotating in the counterclockwise direction makes the required rotation angle of the filling port 121b and the first dropping port 311 position aligned greater than 45°, and the first rotation direction determined is the clockwise direction. Based on the determined first rotation method, the rotation angle of 22.5° can be further determined.

[0200] Based on the above, in an implementable technical solution, the above 1031 "determining the first rotation direction and the rotation angle" can be implemented by the following steps:

[0201] 10311, determining the first relative position relationship between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the corresponding target dropping port of the next target seasoning;

[0202] 10312, determining the first rotation direction according to the first relative position relationship;

[0203] 10313, based on the first rotation direction, obtaining the first included angle between the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the corresponding position of the adjacent bottle;

[0204] 10314, determining the rotation angle according to the first included angle;

[0205] In the above 1032, see Figure 19d illustrated, assuming that the first rotation direction determined by step 1031 is clockwise and the rotation angle is 22.5°, the first driving unit drives the disc 20 to rotate 22.5° in the clockwise direction, and the empty position located at the intermediate position between the filling port 121b and the filling port 121c is aligned with the first dropping port 311 position (as Figure 19e illustrated), that is, the outlet of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target dropping port (i.e. the first dropping port 311).

[0206] When the outlet of the target flavoring corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target drop opening, a gap space is formed between the target drop opening and the bottom of the rotating disc, which constitutes a cleaning channel. External air can flow into the corresponding target drop opening, so that the residual target flavoring in the target drop opening and the corresponding feeding pipeline can flow into the cooking container. In a specific implementation, the second driving unit corresponding to the target drop opening can be controlled to act again to drive the external air flowing into the target drop opening. Under the driving of the external air flow, the residual flavoring in the target drop opening and the corresponding feeding pipeline can flow into the cooking container, thereby achieving the emptying of the residual flavoring. That is, in a specific implementation, after the outlet of the target flavoring corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target drop opening, the external air enters the target drop opening, and the second driving unit continues to act, which can include the following steps:

[0207] 1041、When the outlet of the target flavoring corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target drop opening, the driving identifier corresponding to the target drop opening is obtained.

[0208] 1042、An emptying instruction is sent to the second driving unit corresponding to the driving identifier, so that the second driving unit acts to generate negative pressure in the space corresponding to the target drop opening, and the external air flows under the action of the negative pressure.

[0209] For example, referring to Figure 19e At this time, the emptying position located at the intermediate position between the feeding opening 121b and the feeding opening 121c is aligned with the first drop opening 311. The second driving unit corresponding to the first drop opening 311 (such as Figure 7a and Figure 7b the first feeding pump 841 shown in the figure) acts based on the received emptying instruction to generate negative pressure in the space corresponding to the first drop opening 311, so that the external air flowing into the first drop opening is driven to flow under the action of the negative pressure. The flow of the external air flow can carry away the residual flavoring in the first drop opening 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first drop opening 311, thereby achieving the emptying of the residual flavoring.

[0210] Further, the method provided by the embodiment can further include:

[0211] 1043、Monitoring whether the time for which the second driving unit continues to act reaches a first time condition;

[0212] 1044、When the first time condition is reached, a stop instruction is sent to the second driving unit, and the emptying of the residual flavoring in the target drop opening is completed.

[0213] In a specific implementation, the first time condition is a time value that is flexibly preset according to actual conditions. For example, the first time condition can be 4 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute, etc. The present embodiment does not limit this.

[0214] As can be seen from the above, the technical solution provided by the present embodiment is based on the relevant information of the target seasoning obtained. First, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the target seasoning to align the discharge port of the corresponding bottle with the target drop port based on the relevant information. After the target seasoning aligns the discharge port of the corresponding bottle with the target drop port, the second driving unit corresponding to the target drop port is further controlled to act, so that the target seasoning is added to the cooking container through the target drop port and the corresponding feeding pipeline of the target drop port. Then, after the target seasoning is added, the first driving unit is controlled to continue rotating again, so that the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target drop port, and the external air enters the target drop port. After the discharge port of the target seasoning corresponding bottle is misaligned with the target drop port, the external air enters the target drop port, and the second driving unit corresponding to the target drop port is further controlled to act again, so that the external air evacuates the residual target seasoning in the target drop port and the corresponding feeding pipeline. It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the present embodiment is to complete the automatic addition of the target seasoning through the drop port dedicated for the addition of the target seasoning. While ensuring automatic addition, different seasonings are added separately through the corresponding drop port. In addition, after the target seasoning is added through the corresponding target drop port, the target drop port is further evacuated, which can avoid the mixing of different seasonings in the feeding pipeline corresponding to the same drop port.

[0215] Further, in order to realize the reference position positioning function, the turntable is positioned to the reference position when the feeding device provided by the present embodiment is used to automatically add seasoning, or the turntable is reset to the reference position when the program is out of error, etc. The feeding device provided by the present embodiment is also provided with a trigger member and a sensing member to realize the function of positioning the reference position through the trigger member or the sensing member. The specific setting position and form of the trigger member and the sensing member can be referred to the relevant content of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. Based on this, the method provided by the present embodiment can further include the following steps:

[0216] 105、In response to the reset instruction, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the trigger member to rotate;

[0217] 106、During the rotation of the trigger member, the sensing member and the trigger member are detected to generate an induction signal;

[0218] 107、According to the detected induction signal, the reference position is positioned.

[0219] In 105-106, the reset instruction can refer to an instruction for positioning the rotating disc to the reference position. In practice, the reset instruction can be triggered by a user, for example, Figure 1a For example, in the application scenario shown, when the user starts the cooking device for cooking, the user can trigger the initialization operation for the feeding device through the interactive interface provided by the cooking device or its terminal device to send a reset instruction to the controller; or, when the user triggers the initialization operation for the error prompt information received during the execution of the automatic feeding logic of the cooking device to send a reset instruction to the controller. Alternatively, the reset instruction can also be automatically triggered by the device. For example, still in the application scenario shown, Figure 1a For example, in the application scenario shown, when the user starts the cooking device for cooking, the user can trigger the initialization operation for the feeding device through the interactive interface provided by the cooking device or its terminal device to send a reset instruction to the controller; or, when the user triggers the initialization operation for the error prompt information received during the execution of the automatic feeding logic of the cooking device to send a reset instruction to the controller. Alternatively, the reset instruction can also be automatically triggered by the device. For example, still in the application scenario shown,

[0220] When the reset instruction is monitored, the first driving unit can be controlled to work to drive at least one of the sensing member and the triggering member to rotate according to the specific structure and function of the feeding device and the setting position of the sensing member and the triggering member. In this embodiment, the rotating disc is driven to rotate by the first driving device to drive the triggering member or the sensing member arranged on the rotating disc to rotate, so that the sensing signal between the sensing member and the triggering member is detected to position the rotating disc to the reference position. In 107, the rotating disc of the feeding device can be positioned to the reference position according to the detected sensing signal. The implementation of positioning the rotating disc to the reference position according to the detected sensing signal is related to the installation position of the sensing member and the triggering member and the corresponding relationship between the reference position.

[0221] For example, the sensing member is a Hall element and the triggering member is a magnetic sensing member. Referring to Figure 10b and Figure 12bAs shown, it is assumed that the rotating disc 20 is provided with a magnetic induction piece (i.e., the trigger piece 123 shown in the figure), and the base 30 is provided with a Hall element (i.e., the sensing piece 39 shown in the figure). For example, it is assumed that the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element are both arranged at a reference position. In this arrangement, the position at which the induction signal between the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element is the 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. When the change state of the induction signal changes, the controller controls the first driving unit to stop rotating, so as to position the rotating disc at the current position, which is the reference position. Specifically, when the controller drives the rotating disc to rotate by the first driving unit, so as to drive the magnetic induction piece to rotate, the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element are constantly approaching. At this time, the induction signal generated by the two, such as the voltage signal, will constantly increase until reaching a peak value. At this time, if the first driving unit continues to drive the rotating disc to rotate, the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element are constantly moving away from each other. At this time, the value of the voltage signal will constantly decrease, that is, the waveform of the voltage signal will have an inflection point. When the rotating disc is rotated to the inflection point position of the voltage signal, the rotating disc is positioned at the reference position. Therefore, in the specific implementation, the controller can detect the induction signal of the Hall element. If it is detected that the induction signal increases continuously for N times during the rotation of the rotating disc, and then it is detected that the induction signal decreases, then the position of the rotating disc at this time is determined as the reference position. In addition, considering that the magnetic induction piece has different polarities of N and S, and the polarities are different, the change state of the induction signal of the Hall element is also different. For example, still taking the voltage signal as the induction signal, if the polarities are opposite, the change state of the voltage signal will also be opposite. Therefore, the controller can also detect, during the rotation of the rotating disc, if the induction signal decreases continuously for N times, and then it is detected that the induction signal increases, then the position of the rotating disc at this time is determined as the reference position. It should be noted that, in the above example, the induction signal is the voltage signal. In other embodiments, the induction signal can also be a current signal, a binary digital signal, etc., which is not limited here. Figure 19a A schematic diagram showing the result after the rotating disc 20 is positioned at the reference position in the above arrangement is shown.

[0222] For another example, it is assumed that the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element are both arranged at a certain interval angle relative to the reference position. After the position at which the induction signal between the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element is the strongest is determined, the first driving unit needs to drive the rotating disc to rotate by a specified angle before the rotating disc can be positioned at the reference position. Specifically, as shown in Figure 10b and Figure 12b As shown, it is assumed that the charging port 222 on the rotating disc 20 is aligned with the second discharging port 312 on the base 30 when the rotating disc 20 is at the reference position. Based on this, in the counterclockwise direction, the magnetic induction piece (i.e., the trigger piece 123 shown in the figure) arranged on the rotating disc 20 and the Hall element (i.e., the sensing piece 39 shown in the figure) arranged on the base 30 are constantly approaching. At this time, the induction signal generated by the two, such as the voltage signal, will constantly increase until reaching a peak value. At this time, if the first driving unit continues to drive the rotating disc to rotate, the magnetic induction piece and the Hall element are constantly moving away from each other. At this time, the value of the voltage signal will constantly decrease, that is, the waveform of the voltage signal will have an inflection point. When the rotating disc is rotated to the inflection point position of the voltage signal, the rotating disc is positioned at the reference position. Therefore, in the specific implementation, the controller can detect the induction signal of the Hall element. If it is detected that the induction signal increases continuously for N times during the rotation of the rotating disc, and then it is detected that the induction signal decreases, then the position of the rotating disc at this time is determined as the reference position. In addition, considering that the magnetic induction piece has different polarities of N and S, and the polarities are different, the change state of the induction signal of the Hall element is also different. For example, still taking the voltage signal as the induction signal, if the polarities are opposite, the change state of the voltage signal will also be opposite. Therefore, the controller can also detect, during the rotation of the rotating disc, if the induction signal decreases continuously for N times, and then it is detected that the induction signal increases, then the position of the rotating disc at this time is determined as the reference position. It should be noted that, in the above example, the induction signal is the voltage signal. In other embodiments, the induction signal can also be a current signal, a binary digital signal, etc., which is not limited here. Figure 10bThe angle between the trigger 123 and the filling port 121a is 145° (i.e. 56.25°+56.25°+32.5°). In the clockwise direction, the Hall element is arranged on the base 30 Figure 12b The angle between the sensor 39 and the second filling port 312 is 50°. When the controller controls the first driving unit to drive the rotary disc to rotate counterclockwise and detects that the change state of the sensing signal between the magnetic induction element and the Hall element changes, it is determined that the rotary disc is rotated to the position where the sensing signal is the strongest, but this position is not the reference position. The angle between the reference position and the position where the sensing signal is the strongest is 95° (i.e. 145°-50°). Therefore, the first driving unit needs to be controlled to continue to drive the rotary disc to rotate counterclockwise by 95° and then stop, so as to position the rotary disc to the reference position.

[0223] Based on the above examples, the specific implementation of the step 107 "positioning the reference position according to the detected sensing signal" can be any one of the following: A11, when the change state of the sensing signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to stop rotating to position the reference position; or A12, when the change state of the sensing signal changes, controlling the first driving unit to continue to drive to rotate to drive the trigger to rotate by a specified angle to position the reference position. The specified angle is related to the positional relationship between the sensor and the trigger and the reference position, which is not limited here.

[0224] Further, when positioning the rotary disc to the reference position, there is another case that when the rotary disc is not installed in the filling device, the controller detects that the sensing signal between the sensor and the trigger is always in an unchanged state when controlling the first driving unit to work. For this case, the controller can display a prompt information of reset failure to prompt the user to check whether the rotary disc is installed or not, etc. when the sensing signal between the sensor and the trigger is detected to be unchanged for a preset condition. The preset condition can be a preset time condition, M times of continuous detection that the sensing signal between the sensor and the trigger does not change, etc., which is not limited here.

[0225] As can be seen from the above, the control method provided by the embodiment can be divided into reset control, detection of the content of the material stored in the bottle and filling control in whole. As described above, the filling control can be summarized as Figure 20bThe process shown. That is, first, for the target seasoning required to be put, select the target seasoning from a plurality of drop ports dedicated to put the target seasoning target drop port; control the target seasoning corresponding to the bottle and the target drop port position alignment, according to the target seasoning required to be put, the target drop port corresponding to the second drive unit (such as peristaltic pump) required working time, and control the second drive unit to work, to realize the target seasoning through the corresponding target drop port feeding; the second drive unit working time reaches the time condition, control the second drive unit to stop working, and control to realize the adjacent empty position of the target seasoning corresponding bottle and the target drop port position alignment; the empty position and the target drop port position alignment, control the second drive unit corresponding to the target drop port to work for a preset time, to utilize the external air to empty the residual seasoning, and the target seasoning addition is completed. It can be seen that the target seasoning of the embodiment is added through the target drop port dedicated to put the target seasoning, which realizes the separate feeding of different types of seasonings, such as the separate feeding of oil and water to avoid oil pollution, or the separate feeding of sweet and salty seasonings to avoid sweet and salty taste mixing. In addition, the embodiment performs the feeding and discharging process for the drop port dedicated to put the target seasoning for each target seasoning, which is beneficial to ensure that different types of seasonings can not be mixed when feeding through the same drop port.

[0226] For the above content, in order to more clearly illustrate the feeding control logic described by the control method provided by the present application, a specific example is described in detail below. Figure 7a 、 Figure 7b and Figures 19a to 19e . Specifically, referring to Figure 19a , it is assumed that the trigger 123 on the turntable 20 is aligned with the first drop port 311 when the turntable 20 is in the reference position, and the seasonings stored in the 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 it is assumed that the second drop port 312 is dedicated to the feeding of seasoning 1, and the first drop port 311 is used for the feeding of seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5. And, referring to Figure 7a and Figure 7b , it is assumed that the second drive unit corresponding to the second drop port 312 is the second feeding pump 842 (abbreviated as feeding pump 842), and the second drive unit corresponding to the first drop port 311 is the first feeding pump 841 (abbreviated as feeding pump 841).

[0227] Case 1: When the above control method logic is sequentially executed on the seasoning 1, seasoning 2, seasoning 3, seasoning 4 and seasoning 5 to realize automatic feeding, the control carousel rotates in a fixed rotation direction, such as the counterclockwise rotation method, and the corresponding control process is: the carousel is positioned at the reference position, the first drive unit (i.e. the drive member 83 shown in the middle of the figure) is controlled to rotate to drive the carousel to rotate 95°, and the seasoning 1 corresponding bottle is aligned with the second feeding port 312 position (as shown in the figure). Then, the feeding pump 842 is controlled to act to feed the seasoning 1 to the cooking container through the second feeding port 312 and the first feeding port corresponding feeding pipeline. After the seasoning 1 feeding is completed, the first drive unit is continuously controlled to rotate to drive the carousel to rotate 31.25°, and the emptying position between the feeding port 222 and the feeding port 121b is aligned with the second feeding port 312 position (as shown in the figure). Figure 7a Figure 19b Figure 19c ​​After the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 81.25°, the emptying position between the filling port 121a and the filling port 121b is aligned with the position of the second filling port 312, and the external air enters the second filling port 312; then, the feeding pump 842 is controlled to act to empty the residual seasoning 1 in the second filling port 312 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the second filling port 312 with the external air; after the residual seasoning 1 is emptied, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, the emptying position between the filling port 121b and the filling port 121c is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311, and the external air enters the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to act to empty the residual seasoning 2 in the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311 with the external air; after the residual seasoning 2 is emptied, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, the seasoning 3 corresponding bottle is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to act to make the seasoning 3 add material through the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311; after the seasoning 3 is added, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, the emptying position between the filling port 121c and the filling port 121d is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311, and the external air enters the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to act to empty the residual seasoning 3 in the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311 with the external air; after the residual seasoning 3 is emptied, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, the seasoning 4 corresponding bottle is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to work to make the seasoning 4 add material through the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311; after the seasoning 4 is added, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 47.5°, the emptying position between the filling port 121d and the filling port 121e is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311, and the external air enters the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to work to empty the residual seasoning 4 in the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311 with the external air; after the residual seasoning 4 is emptied, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 47.5°, the seasoning 5 corresponding bottle is aligned with the position of the first filling port 311; then, the feeding pump 841 is controlled to work to make the seasoning 5 add material through the first filling port 311 and the feeding pipeline corresponding to the first filling port 311; after the seasoning 5 is added, the first driving unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 56.At a 25° angle, the venting position between the feeding ports 121e and 121a is aligned with the first discharge port 311, allowing external air to enter. Then, the conveying pump 841 is controlled to operate, venting the residual seasoning 5 from the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding conveying pipe using external air. After the residual seasoning 5 is vented, the first drive unit is controlled to rotate, driving the turntable to rotate 271.25°, returning the turntable to its reference position.

[0228] Scenario 2: Disordered ingredient addition, meaning ingredients are not added in the order they are arranged on the turntable. Specifically, for example, assuming the turntable is in a reference position (e.g.,... Figure 19a As shown), the target seasonings to be added are seasoning 3 and seasoning 2 in sequence. The control turntable rotates in a fixed manner, such as counter-clockwise. The corresponding control process is as follows: the turntable is positioned at a reference position, and the first drive unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 252.5° (i.e., 56.25°+56.25°+32.5°+31.25°+31.25°+22.5°+22.5°). Seasoning 3 corresponds to the bottle and the first dispensing port 31. 1. Align the position (as shown in Figure d); then, control the feed pump 841 to operate so that the seasoning 3 is fed through the first discharge port 311 and the corresponding feed pipe; after the seasoning 3 is fed, control the first drive unit to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, aligning the venting position between the feed ports 121c and 121d with the position of the first discharge port 311, allowing external air to enter the first discharge port 311; then, control the feed pump 841 to operate. The process involves allowing external air to enter the first discharge port 311 to empty the residual seasoning 3 in the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding conveying pipe. After the residual seasoning 3 is emptied, the first drive unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 315°, aligning the seasoning 2 bottle with the position of the first discharge port 311. Then, the conveying pump 841 is controlled to operate, so that the seasoning 2 is added through the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding conveying pipe. After the seasoning 2 is added, the first drive unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate 22.5°, aligning the emptying position between the feeding ports 121b and 121c with the position of the first discharge port 311, allowing external air to enter the first discharge port 311. Then, the conveying pump 841 is controlled to operate, allowing external air to enter the first discharge port 311 to empty the residual seasoning 2 in the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding conveying pipe. The first drive unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to rotate, so that the turntable returns to the reference position.

[0229] As can be seen from the above, if the rotation of the execution of the out-of-order charging logic is in a fixed rotation direction, there are cases where additional rotation time needs to be added, such as in the above example, in the counterclockwise rotation direction, after the execution of the charging of ingredient 3, the ingredient 2 corresponding bottle is rotated to align with the corresponding first discharge port 311 position to execute the charging of ingredient 2, which almost needs to rotate a full circle. For this problem, the technical solution provided by the embodiment also supports the control mode of automatic charging without fixing the rotation direction of the turntable. In this way, during the process of controlling the rotation of the turntable to rotate the target ingredient corresponding bottle to the corresponding target discharge port, the turntable can be controlled to rotate in a certain direction according to the principle of minimum rotation angle. Based on this, in the above example, after the execution of the charging logic of ingredient 3 through the first discharge port 311, the first drive unit can be controlled to rotate to make the turntable rotate clockwise by 22.5°+22.5°, and the ingredient 2 corresponding bottle is aligned with the first discharge port 311 position; Then, the material pump 841 is controlled to work to make the ingredient 2 charge through the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding material pipeline; After the charging of ingredient 2 is completed, the first drive unit is controlled to rotate to make the turntable rotate counterclockwise by 31.25°, and the emptying position between the charging port 121b and the charging port 121a is aligned with the first discharge port 311 position, and the external air enters the first discharge port 311; Then, the material pump 841 is controlled to work to empty the residual ingredient 2 in the first discharge port 311 and its corresponding material pipeline with external air; The first drive unit is controlled to rotate to drive the turntable to continue to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, so that the turntable returns to the reference position.
