[0047] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0048] The various specific technical features described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, for example, different embodiments and technical solutions can be formed by combining different specific technical features. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the various possible combinations of the specific technical features in the utility model will not be described separately.

It should be understood that the directions "above", "below", "outside" and "inside" are all directions in normal use, and the directions "left" and "right" refer to the left and right directions shown in the corresponding schematic diagrams, which may or may not be the left and right directions in normal use.

[0050] It should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0051] The embodiment of the utility model provides a seasoning adding device for automatically adding seasoning. It should be noted that the term "seasoning" in this application refers to powdered condiments such as salt, white sugar, pepper, chicken essence, and monosodium glutamate, but this application does not limit the specific type of seasoning, and users can set it according to the dishes and taste requirements. The application scenario type of the embodiment of the utility model does not limit the structure of the seasoning adding device of the embodiment of the utility model.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the seasoning adding device in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the seasoning adding device in the first embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2The seasoning adding device comprises a ventilation component 1, a material box 2 and an air outlet component 3. The ventilation component 1 has an air duct 11 and an air outlet 12 connected to the air duct 11. It can be understood that the air duct 11 is arranged inside the ventilation component 1, and the air outlet 12 connects the external environment with the inside of the air duct 11. The air outlet component 3 is connected to the air duct 11, and the air outlet component 3 is used to blow air into the air duct 11. Figure 3 This is a front view of the seasoning adding device in the first embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 for Figure 3 Cross-sectional view in the AA direction, refer to Figure 4 , the material box 2 is arranged on the ventilation component 1, and the material box 2 has a material chamber 21 and a discharge port 22 connected to the material chamber 21, the material chamber 21 forms a storage space for the seasoning, and the material chamber 21 is connected to the air duct 11 through the discharge port 22. In some possible embodiments, the discharge port 22 can be directly arranged above the air duct 11, that is, the discharge port 22 passes through the material box 2 in the vertical direction, and the discharge port 22 is above the air duct 11, and the seasoning automatically falls into the air duct 11 under the action of gravity; at the same time, a switchable gate is arranged between the air duct 11 and the discharge port 22, and accurate feeding is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the gate and the size of the gate opening. Of course, other components can also be arranged in the material chamber 21 to achieve feeding, such as the pusher assembly 4 shown in the schematic diagram of this application. This application does not limit the implementation method of the seasoning in the material chamber 21 reaching the discharge port 22, as long as the seasoning in the material chamber 21 can reach the air duct 11 through the discharge port 22.

[0053] Specifically, after the seasoning is transported to the air duct 11, the air outlet component 3 blows air into the air duct 11, and the flow of gas drives the flow of seasoning, so that the seasoning is blown out of the seasoning adding device from the air outlet 12 to achieve addition. And in the process of the air outlet component 3 blowing air into the air duct 11, the air outlet component 3 can dry the material holding cavity 21 through the flow of gas, that is, the air outlet component 3 contains at least one heating element 31 that can generate heat, that is, the heating element 31 is modularly assembled in the air outlet component 3. The air outlet component 3 is arranged to be separated from the material box 2, so the heating element 31 is arranged outside the material box 2. On the one hand, the disassembly and assembly of the material box 2 will not be restricted by the circuit of the heating element 31, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the material box 2; on the other hand, the external space of the material box 2 is large, which is convenient for operation to quickly realize the electrical connection between the heating element 31 and other electronic components in the air outlet component 3. The air outlet component 3 is also arranged to be separated from the ventilation component 1, and the material box 2 is installed on the ventilation component 1, that is, the installation space required by the air outlet component 3 is different from that of the ventilation component 1, so the installation space required by the air outlet component 3 and the installation space required by the material box 2 are independent of each other, and the material box 2 and the air outlet component 3 can be installed separately in a modular manner, which reduces the difficulty of laying the internal lines of the air outlet component 3. And because the installation space of the air outlet component 3 is independent of the material box 2 and the ventilation component 1, a protective cover (such as the cover body 52) or a partition can be used to separate the air outlet component 3 from the ventilation component 1, and only an opening is reserved to pass through the pipeline of the air outlet component 3, and the air outlet component 3 and the air duct 11 can be connected through the pipeline, so that the air outlet component 3 can be cleaned in an independent space, and the ventilation component 1 and the material box 2 can be cleaned in another independent space, which is convenient for cleaning the adhering oil and dust.

[0054] The embodiment of the utility model provides a seasoning adding device, which includes a ventilation component 1, a material box 2 and an air outlet component 3. The ventilation component 1 has an air duct 11 and an air outlet 12 connected to the air duct 11. The material box 2 is arranged on the ventilation component 1. The material box 2 has a material chamber 21 for holding seasoning and an outlet 22 connected to the material chamber 21. The material chamber 21 is connected to the air duct 11 through the outlet 22. The air outlet component 3 is connected to the air duct 11 and is separated from the ventilation component 1. The air outlet component 3 is used to blow air into the air duct 11 to blow the seasoning in the air duct 11 out of the air outlet 12 and dehumidify the material chamber 21. The air outlet component 3 is spaced apart from the material box 2, so that the heating element 31 in the air outlet component 3 is arranged outside the material box 2. The disassembly and assembly of the material box 2 is not restricted by the circuit of the air outlet component 3, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the material box 2. The air outlet assembly 3 is arranged apart from the ventilation assembly 1, and the air outlet assembly 3 is connected to the ventilation duct 11 only through a pipe. The installation space required by the air outlet assembly 3 is independent of the installation space required by the material box 2. The material box 2 and the air outlet assembly 3 can be installed separately in a modular manner, which reduces the difficulty of laying the internal lines of the air outlet assembly 3 and facilitates the electrical connection of the various electronic components in the air outlet assembly 3. At the same time, because the air outlet assembly 3 is installed independently of the material box 2 and the ventilation assembly 1, the process of cleaning the oil and dust adhered to the surface of the material box 2 and the ventilation assembly 1 will not affect the normal use of the various electronic components inside the air outlet assembly 3, reducing the risk of water ingress and short circuit of the various electronic components inside the air outlet assembly 3, and is compatible with the electrical safety of the air outlet assembly 3.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the ventilation component 1 extends along the first direction. It should be noted that the extension direction of the ventilation component 1 represents the direction of the maximum outline size of the ventilation component 1. In the embodiment shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, the first direction is in the length direction of the ventilation component 1. The first direction is Figure 1 and Figure 2 The arrow N1 in the figure points to the direction. The air outlet component 3 is located behind the ventilation component 1 in the first direction N1. It should be noted that the "front" and "rear" in this application are both with respect to the wind direction. The front can be simply understood as the direction in which the gas flows forward, and the rear is the direction opposite to the front. The air outlet component 3 is located behind the ventilation component 1 in the first direction N1, so that the air outlet component 3 discharges air along the first direction N1, and the ventilation component 1 extends along the first direction N1, so the air duct 11 extends along the first direction N1. The extension direction of the air duct 11 is consistent with the air outlet direction of the air outlet component 3, which facilitates the air outlet component 3 to blow the gas directly into the air duct 11 along the first direction N1, so as to reduce the loss of wind force during the flow process and improve the efficiency of seasoning transportation.

[0056] Figure 5 is an exploded view of the air outlet assembly 3 in the embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air outlet assembly 3 includes a heating element 31, an air outlet 32 ​​and a ventilation pipe 33. The heating element 31 is used to heat the air. The air outlet 32 ​​is connected to the heating element 31. The air outlet 32 ​​is used to suck the air heated by the heating element 31 to quickly dry the air duct 11. By setting the heating element 31, a temperature difference is generated between the inside and outside of the material box 2 and the inside and outside of the air duct 11. The temperature inside the material box 2 and the air duct 11 is relatively high, and the seasoning can be dried during the gas flow process; at the same time, the temperature increase is conducive to reducing the humidity in the material chamber 21 and the air duct 11, thereby reducing the risk of the seasoning being damp and agglomerated. The air outlet 32 ​​has an air inlet 321 and an air outlet 322. The ventilation pipe 33 is connected between the ventilation assembly and the air outlet 32, and the ventilation pipe 33 connects the air duct 11 and the air outlet 322. That is to say, the heated air enters the air duct 11 through the ventilation pipe 33. When the cover body 52 is set to cover the air outlet assembly 3, only one opening for the ventilation pipe 33 to pass through is reserved.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the heating element 31 is connected to the side of the air outlet member 32 provided with the air inlet 321, and along the first direction N1, the heating element 31 is located behind the air outlet member 32, that is, the heating element 31 is connected to the side behind the air outlet member 32, and the heating element 31 is located at the air inlet end of the air outlet member 32, and the air is first heated by the heating element 31 and then sucked by the air outlet member 32. It should be noted that, because the above "front" and "rear" are both with respect to the wind direction, when the position of the air inlet 321 changes, the position of the heating element 31 changes accordingly, such as, the air inlet 321 is opened on the left side wall of the air outlet member 32, and the heating element 31 is pressed against the left side wall of the air outlet member 32, but in this embodiment, the air still passes through the heating element 31 first and then passes through the air outlet member 32, that is, the heating element 31 is still located "behind" the air outlet member 32. Compared with the implementation method of setting the heating element 31 in front of the air outlet 32, the heating element 31 in the embodiment of the present application is set behind the air outlet 32, so that the volume of the heating element 31 does not need to be limited by the opening size of the air outlet 322 of the air outlet 32, nor does it need to be limited by the diameter size of the ventilation pipe 33, which is convenient for setting a larger volume of the heating element 31 to fully heat the air. At the same time, the heating element 31 only needs to be separated from the air outlet 32 ​​to realize the disassembly of the heating element 31, which is convenient for the later inspection and maintenance of the heating element 31. At the same time, there is no need to move the ventilation pipe 33 during the disassembly of the heating pipe, which is convenient for maintaining the sealing of the connection between the ventilation pipe 33 and the air duct 11. It should be noted that in some possible implementation methods, when the seasoning adding device is applied to a cooking machine, the heat at the pot body in the cooking machine can also be introduced into the air outlet assembly 3 to realize energy circulation.

[0058] In some embodiments, the air outlet assembly 3 further includes a temperature rise sensor and / or a humidity sensor electrically connected to the heating element 31, and the temperature rise sensor and / or the humidity sensor are arranged in the air duct 11 and located at the discharge port 22, that is, the temperature rise sensor and / or the humidity sensor are arranged at the position where the discharge port 22 and the air duct 11 intersect each other. When cooking, the seasoning adding device is in working state, and the air outlet assembly 3 keeps discharging air to dry the air duct 11 during the blowing process. When not cooking, the temperature and / or humidity in the air duct 11 can be monitored by the temperature rise sensor and / or the humidity sensor. For example, a temperature parameter is preset for the temperature rise sensor. When the material chamber 21 is damp or moisture enters, causing the temperature in the air duct 11 and the material chamber 21 to drop, the temperature rise sensor feeds back a signal to the air outlet assembly 3 to start the heating element 31; similarly, a humidity parameter can also be preset for the humidity sensor. When the material chamber 21 is damp or moisture enters, causing the humidity in the air duct 11 and the material chamber 21 to rise, the humidity sensor feeds back a signal to the air outlet assembly 3 to start the heating element 31. By setting a temperature rise sensor and / or a humidity sensor, the heating element 31 is started intermittently, which reduces energy consumption. At the same time, the temperature and humidity in the air duct 11 and the material cavity 21 can be monitored when not cooking, so that the air duct 11 and the material cavity 21 remain dry, reducing the risk of the seasoning getting wet and sticking or agglomerating.

[0059] Figure 6 is an exploded view of the ventilation assembly 1 in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 is a three-dimensional diagram of the material box 2 in the embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The ventilation assembly 1 includes a first ventilation block 13 and a second ventilation block 14 connected to each other. The first ventilation block 13 and the second ventilation block 14 are provided with grooves for forming the air duct 11. That is to say, the first ventilation block 13 is provided with a groove (defined as the first groove), and the second ventilation block 14 is provided with another groove (defined as the second groove). When the first ventilation block 13 and the second ventilation block 14 are engaged, the first groove and the second groove jointly form the above-mentioned air duct 11. Compared with the implementation method of integrally forming the air duct 11 with one component, the air duct 11 in the embodiment of the present application has a split structure. The air duct 11 is processed by the first ventilation block 13 and the second ventilation block 14, which reduces the difficulty of processing and forming the ventilation assembly 1, and also reduces the difficulty of forming the air duct 11.

[0060] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first ventilation block 13 is provided with a feed port 131 connected to the groove, the material box 2 is connected to the first ventilation block 13, and the discharge port 22 is connected to the feed port 131. After the seasoning in the material box 2 is discharged from the discharge port 22, it is introduced into the air duct 11 through the feed port 131. It should be noted that the number of feed ports 131 corresponds to the number of material boxes 2, and each material box 2 is equipped with a feed port 131. In the case where multiple material boxes 2 are provided, multiple feed ports 131 also need to be provided. In some embodiments shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, the material box 2 and the feed port 131 are each provided with three, and are connected one by one.

[0061] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 The ventilation assembly 1 also includes a sealing strip 15 for sealing the air duct 11. The sealing strip 15 is extended along the edge of the groove. The sealing strip 15 is protrudingly arranged on the first ventilation block 13, or the sealing strip 15 is protrudingly arranged on the second ventilation block 14. However, no matter in which component the sealing strip 15 is arranged, the sealing strip 15 can achieve the sealing of the air duct 11. In some embodiments shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, the sealing strip 15 is protrudingly arranged on the second ventilation block 14, and the first ventilation block 13 is provided with a groove structure to avoid the sealing strip 15. During the assembly process of the ventilation assembly 1, the first ventilation block 13 and the second ventilation block 14 can be quickly plugged and assembled with the sealing strip 15 as a reference. The protruding sealing strip 15 blocks air leakage in the circumferential direction of the air duct 11, improves the air tightness of the air duct 11, prolongs the path of the outside air entering the air duct 11 in the circumferential direction of the air duct 11, and reduces the risk of external moisture and humidity entering the air duct 11.

[0062] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The ventilation assembly 1 further includes a connection block 17 fixed on the first ventilation block 13, and the material box 2 is detachably connected to the connection block 17, that is, the material box 2 is detachably connected to the first ventilation block 13. On the one hand, the material box 2 is detachable, which makes it easy to take out the material box 2 after use, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the material box 2; at the same time, it is also convenient for later inspection and maintenance, and it is convenient to replace a new material box 2 after the material box 2 is accidentally damaged. On the other hand, when replacing the seasoning (such as replacing pepper with white sugar), there is no need to pour out the current seasoning (pepper), only the material box 2 containing the current seasoning (pepper) needs to be disassembled, and the material box containing the seasoning to be replaced (white sugar) needs to be installed on the connection block 17.

[0063] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7, a first connecting structure 171 is provided on the connecting block 17, and a second connecting structure 23 is provided on the material box 2. After the material box 2 is installed in place, the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 23 are connected in cooperation, so that the material box 2 is fixed on the connecting block 17. It should be noted that the present application does not limit the specific structure of the first connecting structure 171 and the second connecting structure 23, as long as the first connecting structure 171 can be connected in cooperation with the second connecting structure 23, such as a matching slide groove and slider structure, or a pin and jack structure, or a magnetic structure, or a snap structure, etc. In some embodiments shown in the schematic diagram of the present application, the first connecting structure 171 is set as a dovetail protrusion, and the second connecting structure 23 is a dovetail groove set at the bottom of the material box 2. The first connecting structure 171 is connected in cooperation with the second connecting structure 23, so that there is no need to set other connecting parts (such as screws, bolts, etc.), which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the material box 2.

[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The pushing assembly 4 includes a pushing screw 41 and a driving member 42 connected to the pushing screw 41. A feeding part 16 is provided in the material box 2. The feeding part 16 includes a feeding channel 161 and a feeding port 162 connected to the feeding channel 161. The pushing screw 41 is arranged in the feeding channel 161 and feeds along the feeding channel 161. A feeding port 162 is formed at one end of the feeding channel 161 in the axial direction. The feeding port 162 is connected to the discharge port 22 in the vertical direction. That is to say, the seasoning in the material holding cavity 21 first enters between the inner wall of the feeding channel 161 and the spiral blade of the pushing screw 41 under the action of gravity. Then, the driving member 42 drives the pushing screw 41 to rotate, and the spiral blade on the pushing screw 41 rotates spirally, thereby pushing the seasoning in the feeding channel 161 to the outside of the feeding port 162. Finally, under the action of gravity, the seasoning automatically falls from the feeding port 162 to the discharge port 22. It should be noted that, since the feeding channel 161 is disposed in the material box 2, the feeding channel 161 is still a part of the material containing cavity 21. Therefore, the pushing assembly 4 can be applied to any of the above embodiments without affecting the effect of any of the above embodiments. Of course, the pushing assembly 4 can also be configured as other structures, such as the pushing assembly 4 can be a linear feeding mechanism intermittently driven by a cylinder.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 4 , the feeding channel 161 extends along the second direction. Figure 4The direction of the arrow N2 shown is the second direction N2, the second direction N2 is perpendicular to the first direction N1, and the first direction N1 and the second direction N2 are both in the horizontal direction. It should be noted that the aforementioned "horizontal" is a relative level with respect to the surface to be placed on which the seasoning adding device is to be placed, and the surface to be placed can be a desktop, kitchen cabinet, floor or workbench surface. It can be understood that the above-mentioned surface to be placed is generally a horizontal surface, that is, in the first embodiment, the pushing component 4 feeds along a direction (second direction N2) on the horizontal plane. Of course, the above-mentioned surface to be placed may have unevenness in some areas, that is, the horizontal plane is not required to be absolutely horizontal, and the existence of errors in the horizontality of the desktop, kitchen cabinet, floor or workbench surface is allowed. Compared with the implementation method in which an openable and closable valve is set between the discharge port 22 and the feed port 131, the embodiment of the present application sets a feeding channel 161 extending in the horizontal direction, so that the pushing component 4 feeds in the horizontal direction. The material receiving position of the feeding channel 161 and the discharge position are not on the same vertical line. The seasoning in the material box 2 cannot fall directly into the air duct 11 due to gravity or vibration. The required amount of seasoning added is controlled by the movement stroke of the pushing component 4 in the horizontal direction. The amount of seasoning added can be controlled by controlling the movement stroke of the pushing component 4, which is convenient for accurate discharge.

[0066] Figure 8 This is a side view of the seasoning adding device in the second embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 This is a side view of a seasoning adding device in a third embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, referring to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The feeding channel extends along a third direction, wherein the third direction N3 is inclined relative to the second direction N2, that is, the pushing assembly 4 arranged in the feeding channel 161 feeds materials at an inclination relative to the horizontal direction. Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The direction of the arrow N3 shown in the figure indicates the third direction N3. It can be understood that the third direction is Figure 8 and Fig. 9 In the upward tilted direction of the viewing angle, that is, in the feeding channel 161, the height of the discharge end (the right end where the feeding port 162 is located) is greater than the height of the feeding end (the left end). Therefore, even if the material box 2 is vibrated or accidentally touched, the seasoning in the feeding channel 161 will not automatically fall into the air duct 11, reducing the risk of the seasoning in the feeding channel 161 being accidentally spilled into the air duct 11 due to vibration.

[0067] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the method for realizing the inclined extension of the feeding channel 161. For example, in the second embodiment, the material box 2 can be inclined along the third direction N3, so that the feeding channel 161 provided in the material box 2 is inclined along the third direction N3. In this embodiment, the side (upper end face) of the ventilation component 1 connected to the material box 2 extends in the horizontal direction. In the third embodiment, the ventilation component 1 can be processed regularly, and only a pad is provided at the bottom of the ventilation component 1, so that the side (upper end face) of the ventilation component 1 connected to the material box 2 is inclined along the third direction N3; of course, in the third embodiment, the ventilation component 1 can also be processed into an irregular shape with a slope, that is, the side (upper end face) of the ventilation component 1 connected to the material box 2 is a slope extending along the third direction N3.

[0068] The utility model also provides a cooking machine. Fig.10 This is a right side view of the cooking machine in the embodiment of the present application, and some structures of the cooking machine are omitted in the figure. Fig.10 As shown, the cooking machine includes a frame 5, a pot body and the above-mentioned seasoning adding device; the pot body is used to hold ingredients, and the pot body is connected to the frame 5, and the seasoning adding device is used to quantitatively add seasonings to the pot body. It should be noted that the cooking machine can include the above-mentioned multiple seasoning adding devices to be suitable for cooking a variety of dishes. The frame 5 is provided with a mounting position 51, the ventilation component 1 is connected to the mounting position 51, and the frame 5 at least avoids the mounting position 51 and is connected with a cover body 52, that is, the frame 5 is provided with at least one cover body 52, and the cover body 52 is arranged around the contour edge of the mounting position 51 to facilitate the installation of the ventilation component 1 and the material box 2. The air outlet component 3 is arranged in the cover body 52, and the cover body 52 is arranged to avoid the mounting position 51, so the ventilation component 1 and the material box 2 connected to the ventilation component 1 are both arranged outside the cover body 52. The cover body 52 covers the air outlet assembly 3 , thereby protecting the various electronic components in the ventilation assembly 1 , reducing the risk of the air outlet assembly 3 being contaminated and affecting the safety of electricity use, and extending the service life of the air outlet assembly 3 .

[0069] Fig.11 This is a front view of a cooking machine in an embodiment of the present application, and some structures of the cooking machine are omitted in the figure. Fig.11 The ventilation assembly 1 and the side wall of the cover 52 are spaced apart, that is, a spacing space is formed between the side wall of the ventilation assembly 1 and the side wall of the cover 52, and the spacing forms a drainage gap 521. It should be noted that the aforementioned "drainage gap 521" represents a virtual space, and the drainage gap 521 is approximately Figure 1 and Fig.11 The setting of the drainage gap 521 facilitates the cleaning of the ventilation assembly 1 and the material box 2. During the decontamination process with a high-pressure water gun, the sewage with oil on the surface of the material box 2 and the cover body 52 can be discharged through the drainage gap 521 to reduce the risk of oil accumulation in the narrow gap.
