[0025] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating directions or positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0027] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a seasoning delivery device, which includes a discharge pipeline 11, an extraction mechanism and a liquid level detection mechanism. The discharge pipeline 11 has a feed end and a discharge end. The extraction mechanism is used to extract liquid seasoning from the feed end to the discharge end for discharge. The liquid level detection mechanism is arranged at the discharge end and is used to detect the air in the discharge pipeline 11 between the discharge end and the feed end and send a first detection signal.

[0029] On the basis of the above structure, when a cooking machine such as a cooking stove needs to be unloaded, the feed end is extended into the liquid seasoning to be extracted, the extraction mechanism is started, and the liquid seasoning enters the discharge pipe 11 from the feed end and flows toward the discharge end, and finally flows into the cooking stove. At this time, when the liquid level detection mechanism continuously detects the liquid seasoning, it is in a normally open state. When the feed end sucks air into the discharge pipe 11 or the discharge pipe 11 leaks air, the liquid level detection mechanism at the discharge end detects an air fault in the liquid seasoning flowing in the discharge pipe 11, and enters a closed state from a normally open state, and simultaneously sends a first detection signal indicating that there is air in the discharge pipe 11. After receiving the first detection signal, the user or the extraction mechanism can take measures such as stopping the extraction mechanism, overhauling, and manually adding liquid seasoning to the cooking stove.

[0030] The seasoning feeding device of the present application sets a liquid level detection mechanism at the discharge end of the discharge pipeline 11 to detect in real time whether there is air in the discharge pipeline 11, and promptly sends a first detection signal of air detection, so as to avoid the situation that the extraction mechanism is empty and the air is discharged from the discharge end into the heating cooking stove, etc., to prevent the extraction mechanism from being damaged and the cooking stove from being dry-burned, etc., and to improve the safety of feeding.

[0031] It should be noted that the liquid level detection mechanism of the present application can be a structure in the prior art that can be used to detect liquids using ultrasonic measurement principles, laser measurement principles, etc. It should also be noted that the above-mentioned first detection signal can be an acoustic and optical alarm signal, an electric control signal, etc.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, further, in order to maintain the detection distance and position between the liquid level detection mechanism and the discharge end of the discharge pipe 11, the liquid level detection mechanism of this embodiment includes a mounting base 2 and a first liquid level detector 3. The first liquid level detector 3 is mounted on the mounting base 2. A positioning component is provided on the mounting base 2. The positioning component is used to install the discharge end so that the discharge end corresponds to the first liquid level detector 3.

[0033] In this way, after the first liquid level detector 3 is installed on the mounting base 2 and the discharge end is installed on the positioning assembly, when the extraction mechanism extracts liquid seasoning, the liquid seasoning flows from the feed end toward the discharge end in the discharge pipeline 11, and the first liquid level detector 3 detects the liquid seasoning that is continuously passing through at the position corresponding to the discharge end on the mounting base 2. When an air fault occurs in the liquid seasoning, the first liquid level detector 3 changes from a normally open state to a closed state, and at the same time sends a first detection signal to stop the extraction mechanism or notify the user to take countermeasures.

[0034] In this embodiment, the first liquid level detector 3 and the discharge end of the discharge pipeline 11 are fixedly mounted on the mounting base 2, so that each liquid level detection is performed at a fixed position of the discharge pipeline 11, which not only facilitates the detection of the first liquid level detector 3, but also ensures the accuracy of the detection.

[0035] It should be noted that the first liquid level detector 3 of the present embodiment can be an ultrasonic sensor, a laser sensor, etc. in the prior art, and can be reasonably selected according to actual conditions.

[0036] Furthermore, there are several first liquid level detectors 3 and positioning components, and each first liquid level detector 3 is arranged on the mounting base 2 in a one-to-one correspondence with each positioning component. In this way, there are also several corresponding discharge pipelines 11, so as to realize the extraction of various liquid seasonings and avoid the emptying of multiple discharge pipelines 11. The specific number can be reasonably selected according to actual needs to better meet the use requirements and improve the safety of use.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, further, the positioning assembly of this embodiment includes a first positioning ring 21 and a second positioning ring 22, and the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22 are spaced to form a detection position 20, and the first liquid level detector 3 is installed on the mounting seat 2 at a position corresponding to the detection position 20, and the discharge end is arranged between the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22, so that the discharge end corresponds to the first liquid level detector 3.

[0038] On the basis of the above structure, during assembly, the first liquid level detector 3 is first installed on the mounting seat 2 at a position corresponding to the detection position 20, and then the discharge end is successively passed through the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22, so that the discharge end is located at the detection position 20. When unloading, the extraction mechanism is started, and the extraction mechanism extracts the liquid seasoning from the feed end to the discharge end. When the first liquid level detector 3 begins to detect the liquid seasoning flowing through the discharge end, it remains in the normally open state. When the air in the discharge pipeline 11 flows through the detection position 20, the first liquid level detector 3 enters the closed state from the normally open state, and at the same time sends out a first detection signal to stop the extraction mechanism or notify the user to take countermeasures.

[0039] The positioning assembly of this embodiment includes a first positioning ring 21 and a second positioning ring 22, and the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22 are spaced to form a detection position 20. On the one hand, the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22 can fix the discharge end at both ends of the discharge end to strengthen the fixation of the discharge end. On the other hand, the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22 can fix the discharge end to the corresponding detection position 20. Compared with the structure fixed by only one positioning ring, the discharge end is prevented from deviating from the first liquid level detector 3, ensuring that the first liquid level detector 3 can be aligned with the discharge end for detection, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0040] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the fixing component may also be a structure such as a fixing buckle that can clamp and fix the discharge end.

[0041] Furthermore, a mounting plate 23 is provided on the mounting seat 2, the middle of the mounting plate 23 is spaced apart from the mounting seat 2 to form a mounting interval, a through hole is provided on the mounting plate 23, a first positioning ring 21 and a second positioning ring 22 are connected to both sides of the through hole and are spaced apart up and down, and a first liquid level sensor is installed in the mounting interval and is arranged corresponding to the through hole. In this way, when the extraction mechanism extracts the liquid seasoning from the feed end to the discharge end, the detection probe of the first liquid level sensor can detect the discharge end of the detection position 20 through the through hole on the mounting plate 23.

[0042] The first liquid level sensor of this embodiment is covered by the mounting plate 23 and mounted in the mounting interval, which can make the installation of the first liquid level sensor more reliable, and the mounting plate 23 can also provide protection for the first liquid level sensor.

[0043] It should be noted that the number and shape of the mounting plates 23 of this embodiment can be reasonably selected and designed according to usage requirements and the structure of the first liquid level detector 3 .

[0044] Furthermore, the seasoning feeding device of this embodiment also includes a feeding pipeline 13 and a cooking stove (not shown in the figure), one end of the feeding pipeline 13 is connected to the discharge end, and the other end of the feeding pipeline 13 is connected to the cooking stove.

[0045] On the basis of the above structure, when feeding into the cooking stove, the extraction mechanism is started, and the cooking stove is heated at the same time, and the liquid seasoning is extracted from the feeding end of the discharge pipe 11 and flows toward the discharge end. When detected by the first liquid level detector 3, if there is no air fault in the liquid seasoning flowing through the detection position 20, the first liquid level detector 3 remains in the normally open state, and the extraction mechanism continues to input the liquid seasoning from the discharge end into the feeding pipe 13, and finally flows into the cooking stove. If there is an air fault in the liquid seasoning flowing through the detection position 20, the first liquid level detector 3 enters the closed state from the normally open state, and sends a first detection signal at the same time, stops the extraction mechanism or notifies the user to take countermeasures to prevent the fault air from continuing to be sent into the heating cooking stove, so that the cooking stove continues to dry burn.

[0046] The present embodiment is specifically applied to the automatic unloading of cooking stoves. The first liquid level detector 3 is used to detect the liquid seasoning flowing through the discharge end to prevent the air fault in the discharge pipe 11 from flowing from the discharge end into the feeding pipe 13. That is, it can prevent the feeding pipe 13 from entering the heating cooking stove during automatic unloading, causing the cooking stove to burn dry, thereby improving safety.

[0047] Furthermore, a connector 24 is provided on the mounting seat 2 , and the discharge end is fixedly mounted on the fixing assembly and is detachably connected to one end of the connector 24 , and the other end of the connector 24 is detachably connected to one end of the feeding pipeline 13 .

[0048] In this embodiment, the discharge end is connected to one end of the feeding pipeline 13 through a connector 24, and both ends of the connector 24 are detachable from the discharge end and the feeding pipeline 13, respectively, which is convenient for installation, maintenance, and replacement of the discharge pipeline 11 and the feeding pipeline 13.

[0049] It should be noted that the number and size of the connectors 24 of this embodiment can be reasonably selected according to the flow rate of the liquid seasoning and the delivery path. In addition, the detachable connection between the two ends of the connector 24 and the discharge end and the feeding pipeline 13 can be made through interference fit sleeve connection and threaded connection, etc., as long as the seal can be maintained during the detachable connection, which can be reasonably selected according to the actual situation.

[0050] Furthermore, the seasoning dispensing device of the present embodiment also includes a seasoning box 4 and an extraction tube 14, the feed end is connected to one end of the extraction tube 14, and the other end of the extraction tube 14 is connected to the seasoning box 4. The seasoning box 4 is provided with a second liquid level detector (not shown in the figure), and the second liquid level detector is used to detect the liquid level position of the seasoning and the internal liquid seasoning and send a second detection signal.

[0051] Furthermore, the extraction mechanism is a pressure pump, which is used to pump the liquid seasoning from the feed end into the discharge pipeline 11 to be discharged from the discharge end. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, two discharge pipelines 11 may be provided. Specifically, the pump inlet and the pump outlet of the pressure pump may be connected to one end of the two discharge pipelines 11 respectively, and then the end of the extraction tube 14 connected to the seasoning box 4 forms the above-mentioned feed end, and the end of the discharge pipeline 11 connected to the pump outlet of the pressure pump away from the pressure pump forms the discharge end.

[0052] On the basis of the above structure, when connecting the pipelines, the feed end of the discharge pipeline 11 is connected to one end of the extraction pipe 14, the other end of the extraction pipe 14 is extended into the seasoning box 4, the discharge end is passed through the first positioning ring 21 and the second positioning ring 22 in turn so that the discharge end is fixed to the mounting seat 2, and the end of the discharge end close to the second positioning ring 22 is sleeved on one end of the connector 24, one end of the feeding pipeline 13 is sleeved on the other end of the connector 24, and the other end of the feeding pipeline 13 is connected to the cooking stove, thereby forming a liquid seasoning flow channel that connects the discharge pipeline 11, the connector 24, the feeding pipeline 13 and the cooking stove in turn from the extraction pipe 14.

[0053] When feeding, the pressure pump sucks the liquid seasoning in the seasoning box 4 from the extraction tube 14 into the discharge pipeline 11 forming the feed end, flows into the pressure pump from the pump inlet, and is pumped out from the pump outlet to the discharge pipeline 11 forming the discharge end. When flowing through the detection position 20, in the first case, the first liquid level detector 3 detects that there is no air layer in the discharge end of the detection position 20 and remains in the normally open state. The liquid seasoning continues to flow and enters the feeding pipeline 13 from the connector 24 and finally flows into the cooking stove. In the second case, when the first liquid level detector 3 detects that there is an air layer in the discharge end of the detection position 20, it enters the closed state from the normally open state and sends a first detection signal, thereby stopping the pressure pump or prompting the user to take countermeasures. At this time, if the liquid seasoning continues to flow into the feeding pipeline 13, the user can manually add liquid seasoning to the cooking path to prevent the cooking path from dry burning.

[0054] When the second liquid level detector detects that the liquid seasoning in the seasoning box 4 is insufficient, the second liquid level detector sends out a second detection signal to prompt the user to replenish the seasoning in time to prevent the pressure pump from sucking the air in the seasoning box 4 into the discharge pipe 11 after the liquid seasoning is used up. On the one hand, the pressure pump is evacuated when passing through the pressure pump, and on the other hand, the pressure pump pumps air into the cooking path, so that the cooking path cannot be moistened by liquid seasoning such as cooking oil in time, resulting in dry burning.

[0055] In this embodiment, on the basis of the structure that the first liquid level detector 3 is arranged on the flow channel of the liquid seasoning, that is, on the discharge end, a second liquid level detector is additionally arranged on the seasoning box 4 for detecting whether the liquid seasoning in the seasoning box 4 is sufficient. It is equivalent to being arranged at the feed end, which can form a detection of the air in the entire device, expand the detection range, and improve the safety of use.

[0056] It should be noted that the second liquid level detector can be a float level gauge, an infrared sensor, etc. in the prior art, and the pressure pump can be a water pump, a magnetic pump, etc. in the prior art, and a reasonable selection can be made according to actual conditions.

[0057] The present application also provides a cooking device, which includes the above-mentioned seasoning delivery device. The seasoning delivery device is applied to perform real-time detection at the discharge end through a liquid level detection mechanism, thereby avoiding dry burning of the furnace body and damage caused by empty extraction of the extraction mechanism, and can detect whether the liquid seasoning circulation pipeline is leaking, thereby improving safety of use.

[0058] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above-mentioned implementation mode, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features.

[0059] It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of the utility model.
