Detailed Implementation

[0047] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0048] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0049] The following reference Figures 1 to 24 This application describes a seasoning module 100, a head assembly 200, and a cooking device according to some embodiments. The seasoning module 100 is applied to the head assembly 200, which in turn is applied to the cooking device. The cooking device can be an intelligent cooking device, such as an intelligent stir-fry machine. It is understood that the cooking device can also be other kitchen equipment that meets the requirements. Specifically, the cooking device can dispense seasonings according to the standardized quantities in an electronic recipe to achieve intelligent cooking according to the electronic recipe and ensure good cooking quality. The seasonings can be liquid seasonings, solid seasonings, etc.

[0050] like Figure 12 As shown in the first aspect of this application, an embodiment of a seasoning module 100 is provided for use in a cooking device, including: an inner pot 110, a control board 120 disposed on the inner pot 110, and a seasoning component. The control board 120 is electrically connected to the seasoning component to control the dispensing of seasonings in the seasoning component.

[0051] The seasoning module 100 provided in this application includes an inner liner 110, a control board 120, and seasoning components. Both the control board 120 and the seasoning components are mounted on the inner liner 110, providing them with mounting positions and stable support, and offering good protection. The control board 120 is electrically connected to the seasoning module 100 to control its operation, thereby controlling the dispensing of seasonings from the seasoning components. By connecting the control board 120 to an external power supply and providing corresponding main control signals, the seasoning components can be tested and inspected on appropriate tooling. This includes testing the reliability, smoothness, correctness of seasoning types dispensed, and accuracy of seasoning dispensing, allowing for timely identification and improvement of any issues. Compared to related technologies where seasoning components are typically tested and inspected on the assembly line after the machine head, workbench, and other parts are assembled, requiring disassembly of the entire machine for adjustment if problems are found, this method significantly simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps, facilitating rectification and improving the efficiency of seasoning module 100 rectification. Furthermore, by directly using seasoning module 100 in final assembly after passing testing, a high pass rate for seasoning modules 100 on the assembly line can be ensured, thereby improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0052] In other words, in this embodiment, the seasoning components, control board 120, and inner pot 110 are modularly designed to form a seasoning module 100. This allows the entire seasoning module 100 to be tested and inspected simply by requiring a power supply and data communication interface. This facilitates testing and inspection of the seasoning module 100 as a single module. Compared to assembling the seasoning components and then testing the entire machine on the assembly line, this simplifies the process of disassembling and reassembling the entire machine for the sake of modifying the seasoning components. It greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps, making modification easier and more convenient. This improves the modification efficiency of the seasoning module 100 and increases the pass rate of seasoning components on the assembly line, thereby improving overall assembly efficiency. Furthermore, since the control board 120 is integrated into the seasoning module 100, it facilitates electrical connection between the seasoning module 100 and external tooling, simplifying testing and inspection. Moreover, this modular design of the seasoning module 100 facilitates connection between the seasoning module 100 and other components of the cooking equipment, simplifying wiring and further improving overall assembly efficiency.

[0053] It is understandable that, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the stereolithography equipment may also include a head assembly 200, which includes a housing 210. The entire seasoning module 100 can be installed on the housing 210 and electrically connected to an external power source for testing and inspection on a tooling. Alternatively, the entire seasoning module can be tested and inspected on-site and then installed on the housing 210 after passing the test. Compared with the testing and inspection of seasoning components on the assembly line in related technologies, this method simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps, facilitates rectification, improves the rectification efficiency of the seasoning module 100, and helps improve the overall assembly efficiency.

[0054] Furthermore, the seasoning module 100 is detachably connected to the housing 210 of the head assembly 200, facilitating the removal of the seasoning module 100 from the housing 210 of the head assembly 200 for modification and adjustment, thereby further improving the modification efficiency of the seasoning module 100. Specifically, the seasoning module 100 and the head assembly 200 can be detachably connected through at least one of the following: plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, tenon and mortise structure, bolt structure, and magnetic structure.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the seasoning assembly includes a first seasoning assembly 130 and a second seasoning assembly 140. The first seasoning assembly 130 includes a pump head 131 and a first motor 132, and the second seasoning assembly 140 includes a feeder 141 and a second motor 142.

[0056] The first motor 132 is used to drive the pump head 131 to dispensing the seasoning. The pump head 131 is used to dispense the liquid seasoning. That is, the first seasoning component 130 can be a liquid seasoning component to dispense the liquid seasoning. The liquid seasoning may include oil, soy sauce, vinegar, oyster sauce, sesame oil, etc.

[0057] The second motor 142 is used to drive the feeder 141 to dispensing seasonings. The feeder 141 is used to dispense solid seasonings. That is, the second seasoning component 140 can be a solid seasoning component to dispense solid seasonings. Solid seasonings may include salt, monosodium glutamate, powdered seasonings, etc. Powdered seasonings may include pepper powder, flour, starch, etc.

[0058] In this embodiment, the seasoning component includes a first seasoning component 130 and a second seasoning component 140. That is, the seasoning module 100 can realize the dispensing of liquid seasonings and solid seasonings. In other words, the seasoning module 100 realizes the integrated modular design of the first seasoning component 130 for dispensing liquid seasonings and the second seasoning component 140 for dispensing solid seasonings. It has diversified dispensing functions, strong practicality, and wide applicability.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the pump head 131 is disposed inside the inner liner 110, the first motor 132 is disposed outside the inner liner 110, and the control board 120 is located outside the inner liner 110 and electrically connected to the first motor 132. The first motor 132 includes a first output shaft 1321 that passes through the inner liner 110 and is connected to the pump head 131.

[0060] In this embodiment, the pump head 131 is located inside the inner liner 110, which provides good protection for the pump head 131 and helps extend its service life. The first motor 132 and control board 120 are located outside the inner liner 110, facilitating wiring connections between them from the outside of the inner liner 110 and simplifying operation. The first output shaft 1321 of the first motor 132 passes through the inner liner 110, allowing it to connect smoothly to the pump head 131 inside the inner liner 110. This enables the first motor 132 to drive the pump head 131 through the first output shaft 1321, thus dispensing liquid seasonings.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 12As shown, in the above embodiment, the pump head 131 and the inner liner 110 are detachably connected, and the first motor 132 is detachably connected to the inner liner 110. This facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the pump head 131 and the first motor 132, improving their maintenance and cleaning efficiency and making operation convenient. Specifically, the pump head 131 can be detachably connected to the inner liner 110 through at least one of the following structures: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, bolt structure, and magnetic attraction structure. The first motor 132 can be detachably connected to the inner liner 110 through at least one of the following structures: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, bolt structure, and magnetic attraction structure.

[0062] like Figure 18 As shown, in a specific example, the pump head 131 can be connected to the inner liner via a connector 1314. The connector 1314 can be a screw. For example, the pump head 131 can be detachably connected to the inner liner 110 via two screws. After removing the screws, the pump head 131 can be disassembled from the inner liner 110. The operation is convenient, and the screws are standard parts. Their connection holes are easy to process, and the cost is low, making them suitable for widespread application.

[0063] like Figure 12 and Figure 15 As shown, in the above embodiment, the first output shaft 1321 and the pump head 131 are connected by a first transmission member. Thus, power transmission between the first output shaft 1321 and the pump head 131 is achieved through the first transmission member, ensuring good power transmission accuracy. Specifically, the first transmission member can be a splined shaft, a D-type shaft, a flat shaft, etc. Specifically, when the first transmission member is a splined shaft, a first splined bushing 1322 is provided on the first output shaft 1321. Through the cooperation of the first splined bushing 1322 and the splined shaft, the power connection between the first output shaft 1321 and the pump head 131 can be achieved, making operation simple. Specifically, as... Figure 17 As shown, the pump head 131 is provided with a power connection end 1313, and the first transmission component is connected to the pump head 131 and the first output shaft 1321 through the power connection end 1313.

[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 , Figure 17 , Figure 18As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the first seasoning assembly 130 further includes a liquid container 133 and a liquid outlet pipe 134 corresponding to the pump head 131. The pump head 131 is provided with a liquid inlet 1311 and a liquid outlet 1312. The liquid container 133 is located inside the inner liner 110 and is provided with a connection port 1331 connected to the liquid inlet 1311. The first end 1341 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 passes through the inner liner 110 and communicates with the liquid outlet 1312. The second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 communicates with the liquid inlet 212 of the cooking device.

[0065] Among them, such as Figure 17 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the liquid container 133 is used to hold liquid condiments. Located inside the inner liner 110, the inner liner 110 provides good protection for the liquid container 133 and also serves to store it, thus improving the neatness and aesthetics of the condiment module 100. Figure 9 As shown, the liquid container 133 is connected to the inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 via the interface 1331. The outlet 1312 of the pump head 131 is connected to the liquid outlet 212 of the cooking equipment via the outlet pipe 134. In this way, the first motor 132 drives the pump head 131 to work, and the liquid seasoning contained in the liquid container 133 can be dispensed through the pump head 131, the outlet pipe 134, and the liquid outlet 212.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the liquid inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 and the docking interface 1331 of the liquid container 133 are connected by a magnetic attraction mechanism. This arrangement facilitates the docking and separation of the pump head 131 and the liquid container 133, and makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the pump head 131 and the liquid container 133. Since the pump head 131 is detachably connected to the inner liner 110 and the liquid container 133 is detachably connected to the inner liner 110, it is convenient to maintain and clean the pump head 131 and the liquid container 133, which helps to improve the maintenance efficiency and cleaning efficiency of the pump head 131 and the liquid container 133.

[0067] Specifically, the magnetic attraction mechanism may include an adsorbent and an adsorbed component. An adsorbent is provided or formed at either the liquid inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 or the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133, while an adsorbed component is provided or formed at the other. That is, one of the adsorbent and the adsorbed component can be installed at the liquid inlet 1311 of the pump head 131, and the other at the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133, so that the liquid inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 and the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133 are connected via the magnetic attraction mechanism. Alternatively, the inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 can be configured as an adsorbent or a target, and the target or adsorbent can be installed at the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133; or, the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133 can be configured as an adsorbent or a target, and the target or adsorbent can be installed at the inlet 1311 of the pump head 131; or, one of the inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 and the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133 can be configured as an adsorbent or a target, and the other can be configured as a target or an adsorbent, so that the inlet 1311 of the pump head 131 and the interface 1331 of the liquid container 133 can be connected by a magnetic attraction mechanism.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 12 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the number of liquid seasoning containers 133 is one or more, thereby meeting the needs of cooking equipment for dispensing different quantities of liquid seasonings, and has a wide range of applications. It is understood that the number of liquid seasoning containers 133 can be reasonably set according to the specific needs of the user, and the liquid seasoning containers 133 can be one, two, three, four, or other numbers.

[0069] The number of liquid containers 133 corresponds to the number of pump heads 131, that is, the number of liquid containers 133 is equal to the number of pump heads 131. Each pump head 131 is connected to a liquid container 133 to realize the dispensing of liquid seasoning in the corresponding liquid container 133.

[0070] The number of liquid outlet pipes 134 is equal to the number of liquid containers 133 or pump heads 131, so as to guide the liquid seasoning in the corresponding liquid container 133 for feeding operation. It can be understood that the number of first motors 132 is equal to the number of pump heads 131, so as to drive the corresponding pump heads 131.

[0071] like Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 12As shown, the seasoning module 100 further includes a support 150, which is disposed outside the inner pot 110 and detachably connected to the inner pot 110. A portion of the liquid outlet pipe 134 can be fixed to the support 150 so that the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 can smoothly and accurately connect to the liquid inlet 212 of the cooking equipment. If the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 is fixed to the support 150, it supports the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134, ensuring that the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 is reliably and stably supported in a suitable position for smooth and accurate connection to the liquid inlet 212. It is understood that the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 can be directly connected to the liquid inlet 212 of the cooking equipment, or the second end 1342 of the liquid outlet pipe 134 can be indirectly connected to the liquid inlet 212 through a liquid pipeline. The bracket 150 and the inner liner 110 can be detachably connected by at least one of the following structures: bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, and magnetic attraction structure.

[0072] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, multiple liquid containers 133 are distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110. This allows for efficient use of the internal space of the inner liner 110, enabling a reasonable arrangement of the liquid containers 133 within the inner liner 110. The sides of the inner liner 110 can be understood as the sides of the inner liner 110 facing the user. Therefore, when the inner liner 110 is open and facing the user, the multiple liquid containers 133 located on both sides of the inner liner 110 improve the user's visual perception of the inner liner 110, enhancing its aesthetics. Specifically, the sides of the inner liner 110 can be arranged as follows... Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown by arrow X, the two sides of the inner liner 110 can be understood as the left and right sides of the inner liner 110.

[0073] Among them, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, multiple liquid containers 133 on the same side are arranged in pairs, one above the other, meaning they are stacked vertically. This arrangement makes the liquid containers 133 compact, reducing the space occupied inside the inner liner 110 and meeting the design requirements of a small size and compact structure for the inner liner 110. Specifically, the vertical direction of the inner liner 110 can be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As indicated by arrow Z in the diagram.

[0074] Among them, the upper liquid container 133 of the two liquid containers 133 arranged in pairs are connected to the inner liner 110 through the first sliding component. Thus, the upper liquid container 133 can be easily and quickly disassembled and installed with the inner liner 110 through the first sliding component. The operation is simple and convenient, which helps to improve the maintenance and cleaning efficiency of the upper liquid container 133, and also makes it convenient for users to replenish the liquid container 133. It is highly practical.

[0075] Among them, the two liquid containers 133 arranged in pairs, one above the other, are placed on the bottom wall of the inner liner 110. Thus, the user can easily and quickly remove or place the liquid container 133 from or onto the bottom wall of the inner liner 110 by hand. The operation is simple and the movement is convenient. This helps to improve the maintenance and cleaning efficiency of the liquid container 133 located below, and also makes it convenient for the user to replenish the liquid container 133 located below. It is highly practical.

[0076] The two vertically arranged liquid containers 133 are positioned in a clearance space, meaning there is no baffle between them. This clearance space allows for easy removal of the two containers from the inner liner 110, facilitating cleaning and operation of other components within the liner. Furthermore, the clearance space between the two containers provides sufficient room for the lower container to be removed from or placed against the bottom wall when the upper container is connected to the inner liner 110.

[0077] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the number of pump heads 131 is equal to the number of liquid containers 133. Multiple pump heads 131 are distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110, and multiple pump heads 131 on the same side can be stacked in pairs. It is understood that the pump heads 131 and liquid containers 133 can be arranged in the front-back direction of the inner liner 110, while the pump heads 131 can be distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110 along the left-right direction, and the liquid containers 133 can be distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110 along the left-right direction. The left-right direction of the inner liner 110 is as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown by arrow X in the diagram, the front-to-back direction of the inner liner 110 is as follows: Figure 4 , Figure 5 As indicated by the arrow Y in the diagram.

[0078] Multiple pump heads 131 are distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110, which facilitates connection with the liquid containers 133 distributed on both sides of the inner liner 110. At the same time, the space inside the inner liner 110 can be reasonably utilized, so that the multiple pump heads 131 can be reasonably arranged inside the inner liner 110.

[0079] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, multiple pump heads 131 on the same side are arranged in pairs, one above the other, meaning they are stacked vertically. This arrangement of pump heads 131 results in a compact layout, reducing the space occupied inside the inner liner 110 and meeting the design requirements of a small size and compact structure for the inner liner 110. It is understood that the pump heads 131 stacked vertically on the same side can be connected via snap-fit ​​or plug-in structures, or simply stacked directly.

[0080] like Figure 6 , Figure 23 , Figure 24 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the sliding component includes a first guide 1332 and a second guide 111. The first guide 1332 is disposed on or formed in the liquid container 133, and the second guide 111 is disposed on or formed in the top wall of the inner liner 110. The relative movement of the first guide 1332 and the second guide 111 can drive the liquid container 133 to move relative to the inner liner 110. Thus, the liquid container 133 and the inner liner 110 can be quickly and conveniently disassembled and assembled, which is simple to operate and easy to use.

[0081] Specifically, the upper liquid container 133 of the two liquid containers 133 arranged in pairs is movably connected to the top of the inner liner 110 through the first guide member 1332 and the second guide member 111. It can be understood that the upper liquid container 133 is suspended from the top of the inner liner 110. Thus, the space near the top of the inner liner 110 is rationally utilized, and the internal space of the inner liner 110 is rationally arranged, which can meet the design requirements of the inner liner 110 being compact and small in size.

[0082] Furthermore, the first guide member 1332 may be disposed on or formed on the top wall of the liquid container 133, and the second guide member may be disposed on or formed on the top wall of the inner liner.

[0083] In this design, one of the first guide member 1332 and the second guide member 111 can be a guide rail, and the other can be a guide groove or guide post. The relative sliding of the guide rail and the guide groove allows the liquid container 133 to be quickly attached to and detached from the inner liner 110. Specifically, the first guide member 1332 can be a guide rail, and the second guide member 111 can be a guide groove or guide post. The guide rail and the liquid container 133 can be separate structures. The guide rail can be installed on the liquid container 133, for example, by bolts, welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the guide rail and the liquid container 133 can be integrally formed, with the guide rail formed on the liquid container 133. The guide groove or guide post can be separate from the inner liner 110. The guide groove or guide post can be installed on the top wall of the inner liner 110, for example, by bolts, welding, bonding, snap-fitting, or plugging. Alternatively, the guide groove or guide post and the inner liner 110 can be an integrally formed structure, with the guide groove or guide post formed on the inner liner 110.

[0084] It is understandable that the first guide member 1332 can also be a guide groove or a guide post, and the second guide member 111 can be a guide rail. The guide groove or guide post and the liquid container 133 can be separate structures. The guide groove or guide post can be installed on the liquid container 133, for example, by means of bolts, welding, bonding, snap-fit, or insertion. Alternatively, the guide groove or guide post and the liquid container 133 can be integrally formed, with the guide groove or guide post formed on the liquid container 133. The guide rail can be separate from the inner liner 110. The guide rail can be installed on the top wall of the inner liner 110, for example, by means of bolts, welding, bonding, snap-fit, or insertion. Alternatively, the guide rail and the inner liner 110 can be integrally formed, with the guide groove or guide post formed on the inner liner 110.

[0085] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second guide member 111 is a guide rail formed on the top of the inner liner 110, such as... Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, the first guide 1332 is a guide groove formed on the liquid container 133.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 12 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the feeder 141 is disposed inside the inner liner 110, the second motor 142 is disposed outside the inner liner 110, and the control board 120 is located outside the inner liner 110 and electrically connected to the second motor 142. The second motor 142 includes a second output shaft 1421 that passes through the inner liner 110 and is connected to the feeder 141.

[0087] In this embodiment, the feeder 141 is located inside the inner liner 110, which provides good protection for the feeder 141 and helps extend its service life. The second motor 142 and control board 120 are located outside the inner liner 110, facilitating wiring and connection between the control board 120 and the second motor 142 from the outside of the inner liner 110, making operation convenient. The second output shaft 1421 of the second motor 142 passes through the inner liner 110, allowing it to connect smoothly to the feeder 141 inside the inner liner 110. This enables the second motor 142 to drive the feeder 141 through the second output shaft 1421, thus dispensing solid seasonings.

[0088] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 12 As shown, the feeder 141 and the inner liner 110 are detachably connected, and the second motor 142 is also detachably connected to the inner liner 110. This facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the feeder 141 and the second motor 142, improving their maintenance and cleaning efficiency and making operation convenient. Specifically, the feeder 141 can be detachably connected to the inner liner 110 through at least one of the following structures: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, bolt structure, and magnetic attraction structure. The second motor 142 can also be detachably connected to the inner liner 110 through at least one of the following structures: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, tenon and mortise structure, bolt structure, and magnetic attraction structure.

[0089] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 16 As shown, the second output shaft 1421 is connected to the feeder 141 via a second transmission component. This second transmission component enables power transmission between the second output shaft 1421 and the feeder 141, ensuring high power transmission accuracy. Specifically, the second transmission component can be a splined shaft, and a second splined bushing 1422 is provided on the second output shaft 1421. The power connection between the second output shaft 1421 and the feeder 141 is achieved through the cooperation of the second splined bushing 1422 and the splined shaft, simplifying operation. Furthermore, controlling the second motor 142 to rotate forward or reverse controls the feeder 141 to open or close the feeding gate, achieving quantitative material feeding.

[0090] like Figure 11 , Figure 14As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, a feeding port 112 is provided on the bottom wall of the inner liner 110 at a position opposite to the feeder 141. The feeding port 112 allows the feeder 141 to feed solid seasonings to a suitable position through the feeding port 112. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the feeder 141 to be located inside the inner liner 110 and not protrude from it, meaning the feeder 141 can be housed inside the inner liner 110. This results in a neater and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the entire seasoning module 100.

[0091] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the number of feeders 141 can be one or more, thus meeting the needs of cooking equipment for dispensing different quantities of solid seasonings, and has a wide range of applications. It is understood that the number of feeders 141 can be reasonably set according to the user's specific needs; the number of feeders 141 can be one, two, three, four, or other numbers. It is also understood that the number of second motors 142 is equal to the number of feeders 141, in order to drive the corresponding feeders 141.

[0092] Multiple feeders 141 are arranged sequentially along both sides of the inner liner 110, thus allowing the inner liner 110 to feed in the following directions: Figure 4 , Figure 5 As indicated by arrow X, the feeding ports 112 corresponding to the multiple feeders 141 are arranged sequentially along both sides of the inner pot 110 to ensure that the solid seasonings fed by the multiple feeders 141 can be smoothly fed into the appropriate place through the corresponding feeding ports 112, such as being smoothly fed into the pot.

[0093] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in some examples provided in this application, the solid seasoning assembly is arranged in the middle of the inner liner 110, and the liquid seasoning assembly is arranged on both sides of the solid seasoning assembly, so as to make reasonable use of the space of the inner liner 110.

[0094] Furthermore, multiple feeders 141 are arranged in the middle of the inner pot 110 to ensure that the solid seasonings fed by the multiple feeders 141 can be smoothly fed into the pot through the corresponding feeding port 112.

[0095] Furthermore, since the liquid feed box 133 is fed into the pot through the pump head 131, the liquid outlet pipe 134, and the liquid feed port 212, the arrangement of the liquid feed box 133 will not be affected by the liquid feed port 212. Therefore, multiple liquid feed boxes 133 can be distributed on both sides of multiple feeders 141 to make reasonable use of the space on both sides of the feeders 141 in the inner liner 110 and achieve a reasonable layout inside the inner liner 110.

[0096] Furthermore, such as Figure 12 As shown, since the first seasoning component 130 also includes a pump head 131, the first seasoning component 130 and the second seasoning component 140 have different depths in the inner liner 110, thus forming a recessed installation space on the back of the inner liner 110, that is, the recessed installation space is opposite to the second seasoning component 140. The control board 120 can be installed in this recessed installation space, thereby further realizing the design requirements of the seasoning module 100 to be compact and small in size, effectively saving space in the design and making full use of space.

[0097] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, there are three feeders 141 arranged sequentially along the X-axis in the middle of the inner liner 110. There are four liquid containers 133, distributed on both sides of the feeders 141, with two containers on each side stacked vertically. It is understood that, typically, to ensure comprehensive feeding of the cooking equipment, one of the four liquid containers 133 will be used to hold oyster sauce. There are also three second motors 142 to drive the corresponding feeders 141. The second motors 142 can be positioned outside the inner liner 110 near the center for easy connection to the feeders 141. There are four pump heads 131 arranged inside the inner liner 110, distributed on both sides of the feeders 141 and located behind the liquid containers 133, with two pump heads on each side stacked vertically. There are four outlet pipes 134. There are four first motors 132, distributed on the outside of the inner tank 110, located on both sides of the second motor 142, for easy connection with the pump head 131. A recessed mounting space is formed on the outside of the inner tank 110 opposite to the feeder 141, and the control board 120 is installed in the mounting space.

[0098] In other examples provided in this application, the solid seasoning assembly and the liquid seasoning assembly may be arranged sequentially along both sides of the inner liner 110. Here, "both sides of the inner liner 110" can be understood as the left-right direction of the inner liner 110, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As indicated by arrow X, one of the solid seasoning components and the liquid seasoning component can be arranged centrally on the left side of the inner liner 110, and the other can be arranged centrally on the right side of the inner liner 110.

[0099] For example, the feeder 141 can be arranged on the left side inside the inner liner 110, the liquid container 133 on the right side inside the inner liner 110, the pump head 131 on the right side inside the inner liner 110 and behind the liquid container 133, the second motor 142 on the left side outside the inner liner 110 for easy connection with the feeder 141, and the first motor 132 on the right side outside the inner liner 110 for easy connection with the pump head 131. Similarly, a recessed mounting space is formed on the outside of the inner liner 110 opposite to the feeder 141, and the control board 120 is installed in the mounting space.

[0100] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the seasoning module 100 further includes: a door assembly 160, with an opening 113 provided at the front of the inner liner 110. The door assembly 160 is pivotally connected to the inner liner 110 to open or close the opening 113. Thus, when the door assembly 160 closes the opening 113, the inner liner 110 becomes a closed structure, improving the neatness and aesthetics of the inner liner 110's appearance. When the door assembly 160 opens the opening 113, maintenance, replenishment, and cleaning operations can be performed on the liquid container 133 inside the inner liner 110, the pump head 131 inside the inner liner 110, and the feeder 141 inside the inner liner 110. The operation is simple and convenient. The front-to-back direction of the inner liner 110 can be as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As indicated by the arrow Y in the diagram.

[0101] The door assembly 160 is designed to be transparent, allowing users to observe the condition of various components inside the inner liner 110. For example, when the door assembly 160 is closed, the transparent door assembly 160 allows users to observe the use of liquid seasonings in the liquid container 133 and replenish them in a timely manner, or observe the use of solid seasonings in the feeder 141 and replenish them in a timely manner. Alternatively, users can observe the cleanliness of the inner liner 110, and if the inner liner 110 is dirty, they can disassemble the liquid container 133, pump head 131, and feeder 141 inside the inner liner 110 to perform cleaning operations.

[0102] Specifically, the door assembly 160 can be made of glass, plastic, or other transparent materials.

[0103] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the liquid container 133 in the first condiment assembly 130 is arranged facing the opening 113. Therefore, the door assembly 160 does not need to open the opening 113 of the inner liner 110. The user can clearly and accurately observe the amount of liquid in the liquid container 133 through the door assembly 160 from outside the condiment module 100, thus accurately determining when to replenish the liquid. Simultaneously, when the door assembly 160 opens the opening 113 of the inner liner 110, the liquid container 133 in the first condiment assembly 130 faces the user, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the liquid container 133 from the inner liner 110, and making it convenient for the user to perform replenishment operations, as well as cleaning and maintenance operations on the liquid container 133, thus simplifying the operation.

[0104] Among them, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the pump head 131 of the first seasoning component 130 is located behind the liquid container 133, which facilitates the corresponding connection between the pump head 131 and the liquid container 133. At the same time, when the pump head 131 fails, the liquid container 133 located between the pump head 131 and the opening 113 can be removed from the inner liner 110, and the pump head 131 can be disassembled and separated from the inner liner 110. The operation is simple and convenient for maintenance and installation.

[0105] In this design, the feeder 141 in the second seasoning assembly 140 is positioned facing the opening 113. Therefore, the door assembly 160 does not need to open the opening 113 of the inner liner 110. The user can clearly and accurately observe the feeder 141 from outside the seasoning module 100 through the door assembly 160, thus enabling timely identification of when the feeder 141 needs maintenance. Simultaneously, when the door assembly 160 opens the opening 113 of the inner liner 110, the feeder 141 in the second seasoning assembly 140 faces the user, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the feeder 141 from the inner liner 110. This allows for convenient replenishment, cleaning, and maintenance of the feeder 141, making operation easy.

[0106] In other words, the seasoning module 100 provided in this application embodiment arranges vulnerable parts such as the liquid container 133 and the feeder 141 in the opening 113 of the inner liner 110 facing the user, so that the user can directly replace the liquid container 133 and the feeder 141 through the opening 113. The vulnerable parts such as the pump head 131 are arranged behind the liquid container 133, so that the pump head 131 can be directly replaced after the liquid container 133 is removed from the inner liner 110. The replacement of the above vulnerable parts does not require complicated processing such as disassembly, which helps to improve the replacement efficiency of vulnerable parts and enhance the user experience.

[0107] like Figure 12 , Figure 13 , Figure 14As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the seasoning module 100 further includes: a cover plate 170, disposed outside the inner liner 110 and detachably connected to the inner liner 110, and a control plate 120 located within the space enclosed by the cover plate 170 and the inner liner 110. Thus, the cover plate 170 and the inner liner 110 provide good protection for the control plate 120, reducing the possibility of the control plate 120 being contaminated, damaged by other components or foreign objects, lowering the failure rate of the control plate 120, and extending the service life of the control plate 120.

[0108] The cover plate 170 and the inner liner 110 are detachably connected, facilitating their assembly and disassembly. This, in turn, facilitates the maintenance of the control panel 120 located within the space enclosed by the cover plate 170 and the inner liner 110, improving the maintenance efficiency of the control panel 120. Specifically, the cover plate 170 and the inner liner 110 can be detachably connected through at least one of the following methods: snap-fit ​​structure, plug-in structure, bolt structure, tenon and mortise structure, and magnetic structure.

[0109] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the second aspect of this application, an embodiment provides a head assembly 200, including: a housing 210 and a seasoning module 100 as described in any of the first aspects, wherein the inner liner 110 is detachably connected to the housing 210. Since the head assembly 200 includes the seasoning module 100 of any of the foregoing embodiments, the head assembly 200 has all the technical effects of the aforementioned seasoning module 100, which will not be described in detail here.

[0110] Among them, such as Figure 8 , Figure 11 As shown, the inner liner 110 and the shell 210 are detachably connected, facilitating the installation and removal of the condiment module 100 and the shell 210, thereby making it easier to maintain and modify the condiment module 100 and simplifying operation. Specifically, the inner liner 110 and the shell 210 can be detachably connected through at least one of the following: plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, tenon and mortise structure, threaded structure, sliding structure, and magnetic attraction mechanism.

[0111] In one example, the seasoning module 100 can be connected to an external power source and tested directly on a tooling fixture to assess the reliability, smoothness, correctness of seasoning type dispensing, and accuracy of seasoning dispensing. After the seasoning module 100 passes the test, it is connected to the housing 210 to assemble the head assembly 200. Then, the head assembly 200 is assembled with other components to complete the final assembly. This improves assembly efficiency during overall machine testing of the cooking equipment due to the high pass rate of the seasoning module 100. Understandably, with this arrangement, if a fault is found in the seasoning module 100 during final machine testing on the assembly line, the head assembly 200 can be disassembled from other components, and then the housing 210 and seasoning module 100 can be disassembled and repaired.

[0112] In another example, the seasoning module 100 housing 210 can be connected and assembled into a head assembly 200. The head assembly 200, as a module, is connected to an external power supply, and testing is performed directly on a tooling fixture to test the reliability, smoothness, correctness of seasoning type dispensing, and accuracy of seasoning dispensing. After the seasoning module 100 passes the test, the head assembly 200 is assembled with other components to achieve final assembly. This improves assembly efficiency during overall machine debugging of the cooking equipment due to the high pass rate of the seasoning module 100. Understandably, with this arrangement, if a fault is found in the seasoning module 100 during overall machine debugging on the assembly line, the head assembly 200 can be disassembled from other components, and then the housing 210 and the seasoning module 100 can be disassembled and rectified.

[0113] It is understandable that, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, an assembly opening is provided at the front of the housing 210 to allow the inner liner 110 to move relative to the housing 210. When the modified seasoning module 100 slides into the interior of the housing 210, the door assembly blocks the opening at the front of the inner liner 110, thus aligning the assembly opening of the housing 210 with the door assembly 160 to ensure the neatness and aesthetics of the machine head assembly 200 after its modification.

[0114] like Figure 7 and Figure 11As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the head assembly 200 further includes a second sliding assembly, through which the inner liner 110 and the housing 210 are movably connected, such that the inner liner 110 is accommodated within the housing 210 or at least partially extends to the outside of the housing 210. Thus, the second sliding assembly allows the inner liner 110 to be accommodated within the housing 210, enabling the entire condiment module 100 to be installed with the housing 210; or, at least a portion of the inner liner 110 can extend to the outside of the housing 210, facilitating adjustment and maintenance of the components of the condiment module 100. This design is simple to operate and convenient to use.

[0115] The inner liner 110 and the outer shell 210 are movably connected by a second sliding assembly, allowing the inner liner 110 to extend at least partially outside the outer shell 210. This can be understood as a portion of the inner liner 110 extending outside the outer shell 210 while another portion remains inside the outer shell 210; or, the entire inner liner 110 may extend outside the outer shell 210. During the modification and maintenance of the seasoning module 100, extending a portion of the inner liner 110 outside the outer shell 210 while the other portion remains inside allows part of the inner liner 110 to be supported on the outer shell 210. This eliminates the need to separate the entire seasoning module 100 from the outer shell, simplifying the handling of the seasoning module 100, saving labor, and facilitating the installation of the seasoning module 100 and the outer shell 210, thereby improving the modification efficiency of the machine head assembly 200.

[0116] The inner liner 110 and the shell 210 are movably connected by a second sliding component so that the inner liner 110 is housed inside the shell 210. Thus, the shell 210 houses the inner liner 110, which in turn houses the seasoning module 100. This improves the neatness and aesthetics of the head assembly 200, thereby enhancing the neatness and aesthetics of the cooking equipment.

[0117] Specifically, the second sliding assembly may include a slide groove and a slide rail, a slide groove and a slider, etc., wherein one of the slide groove and the slide rail may be installed in or formed in the inner liner 110, and the other may be installed in or formed in the housing 210, and one of the slide groove and the slider may be installed in or formed in the inner liner 110, and the other may be installed in or formed in the housing 210, to meet the needs of different structures of the slide groove and the slide rail, and different structures of the housing 210 and the inner liner 110.

[0118] In some possible embodiments provided in this application, the head assembly 200 further includes a limiting member connected to the inner liner 110 and the shell 210 to limit the relative movement of the inner liner 110 and the shell 210. The limiting member enables the inner liner 110 and the shell 210 to be reliably and stably held in a suitable position.

[0119] The limiting components may include limiting bolts, limiting pins, and insert rods.

[0120] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, when the inner liner 110 is housed inside the housing 210 via the second sliding assembly, the positions of the inner liner 110 and the housing 210 can be fixed using limiting components, such as bolts, so that the inner liner 110 and the housing 210 can be reliably and stably maintained in their current positions, thereby reliably and stably fixing the entire condiment module 100 inside the housing 210. It is understood that in this configuration, if maintenance or adjustment of the components located inside the inner liner 110 within the condiment module 100 is required, the door assembly 160 can be opened to access the opening 113 of the inner liner 110 for maintenance or adjustment, making the operation convenient and quick. When maintenance or adjustment is required for components such as the control panel 120, the first motor 132, and the second motor 142 behind the inner liner 110, the limiting components can be used to release the limiting of the inner liner 110 and the housing 210. For example, the bolts can be removed from the inner liner 110 and the housing 210, and then the inner liner 110 can be extended to the outside of the housing 210 through the second sliding component. For example, part of the inner liner 110 can be extended horizontally to the outside of the housing 210 to maintain and modify the components of the seasoning module 100. This method can achieve the maintenance and modification of the seasoning module 100 without disassembling and separating the seasoning module 100 from the housing 210. It is convenient to operate, which helps to improve the efficiency of the maintenance and modification of the seasoning module 100, and facilitates the installation of the seasoning module 100 and the housing 210. At the same time, compared with separating the entire seasoning module 100 from the housing 210 for maintenance and modification, it simplifies the steps of handling the seasoning module 100, saves labor, and is suitable for widespread application.

[0121] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 11 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, the bottom wall of the housing 210 is provided with a solid material port 211 opposite to the feeding port 112 of the seasoning module 100, so that the feeder 141 of the seasoning module 100 can work to feed the solid seasoning from the feeding port 112 and the solid material port 211 to a suitable position, such as feeding it into the pot.

[0122] Specifically, the number of solid material inlets 211 on the housing 210 is equal to the number of feeding ports 112 on the seasoning module 100, that is, each feeder 141 corresponds to one solid material inlet 211 to realize the feeding of the corresponding solid seasoning. Among them, the solid material inlets 211 are located on the bottom wall of the housing 210 and are opposite to the feeding ports 112, so that the solid seasoning discharged from the feeding ports 112 is fed to the appropriate position through the corresponding solid material inlet 211 under the action of gravity.

[0123] like Figure 8 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided in this application, a liquid inlet 212 is provided on the housing 210. The second section of the discharge pipe of the seasoning module 100 is connected to the liquid inlet 212, so that the pump head 131 works to deliver the liquid seasoning in the liquid container 133 to a suitable location, such as the inside of the pot, through the discharge pipe and the liquid inlet 212.
