The feeding module puts auxiliary materials through the discharge pipe assembly according to the cooking process. The auxiliary materials can be liquid or solid-liquid mixed seasonings, or oil, water, thick soup, etc. Since most of the auxiliary materials are viscous and are in a fume and steam environment for a long time, the discharge pipe assembly is easily blocked and damaged. The discharge pipe assembly provided in the present application is arranged separately from the discharge pipe (200) and the pipe seat (100), and is fixed by the fixing assembly (300), so that the discharge pipe (200) can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which is convenient for users to replace the discharge pipe (200).
[0040] In one embodiment, the discharge pipe assembly includes:
[0041] A tube base (100), wherein a plug-in slot (110) is provided on the tube base (100);
[0042] at least one discharge pipe (200), the discharge pipe (200) being detachably connected to the pipe seat (100), the discharge pipe (200) being plugged into the plug-in slot (110) and being in communication with the plug-in slot (110), and the discharge pipe (200) being used for discharging materials;

[0044] The tube seat (100) can be directly connected to the main support structure of the automatic cooking device, or it can be connected to an additional support structure, so as to ensure that the discharge port of the discharge pipe (200) is opposite to the cooking utensil. The tube seat (100) can be connected to only a single discharge pipe (200) or multiple discharge pipes (200). The plug-in slot (110) and the discharge pipe (200) can be one-to-one corresponding, that is, only one discharge pipe (200) is plugged into one plug-in slot (110). In some embodiments, the contour of the plug-in slot (110) is adapted to the outer contour of the area where the discharge pipe (200) is inserted into the plug-in slot (110), so that when the discharge pipe (200) is inserted into the plug-in slot (110), it can abut against the inner wall of the plug-in slot (110) and be limited to a certain extent; or, multiple discharge pipes (200) can be plugged into a single plug-in slot (110). In order to connect the discharge pipe (200) with the feeding module for conveying auxiliary materials, a conveying hole is provided in the tube seat (100), and the conveying hole passes through the plug-in slot (110) and the outside of the tube seat (100), such as passing through the plug-in slot (110) and the bottom of the tube seat (100) when in use. A conveying channel is provided in the discharge pipe (200) and passes through both ends of the discharge pipe (200). After the discharge pipe (200) is plugged into the plug-in slot (110), the conveying channel will dock with the conveying hole. When the tube seat (100) is connected to the feeding module, the conveying hole is connected to the feeding module, thereby realizing the connection between the discharge pipe (200), the conveying hole and the feeding module. In a more specific embodiment, the feeding module includes a storage tank, a transmission pipe and a power part, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tube holder (100) includes a fixing plate (110), at least one plug (120) and at least one socket (130), wherein the plug (120) and the socket (130) are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the fixing plate (110), and the fixing plate (110) can be used to be fixed to the main support structure of the automatic cooking device, such as being fixed to the upper top plate of the main support structure of the automatic cooking device, or being fixed to other support plates of the main support structure of the automatic cooking device. The plug (120) can have an anti-slip groove, and the plug (120) is used to insert the transmission tube of the feeding module. The socket (130) is approximately cylindrical, and a plug-in slot (110) is arranged on the socket (130). A combination of multiple plugs (120) and sockets (130) can be connected to the fixing plate (110) to achieve the fixation of multiple discharge pipes (200), thereby achieving the delivery of different auxiliary materials.
[0045] The structure of the discharge pipe (200) can be various, and when in use, the connection direction with the plug-in groove (110) can also be various, such as the extension of the plug-in groove (110) from the groove bottom to the groove opening can be a horizontal extension, the discharge pipe (200) is a straight tubular structure, the discharge pipe (200) is plugged into the plug-in groove (110) in the horizontal direction, and the auxiliary materials are put into the cooking container in the horizontal direction; or, the extension of the plug-in groove (110) from the groove bottom to the groove opening can be a vertical downward extension, the discharge pipe (200) is a straight tubular structure, the discharge pipe (200) is plugged into the plug-in groove (110) in the vertical direction, and the auxiliary materials drip downward in the vertical direction; or, the extension of the plug-in groove (110) from the groove bottom to the groove opening can be a vertical upward extension, the discharge pipe (200) is an arc-shaped curved tubular structure, one end of which is vertically plugged into the plug-in groove (110) downward, and the other end faces the cooking container.
[0046] The fixing assembly (300) can be connected to the tube seat (100) and the discharge pipe (200) in a variety of ways, and the discharge pipe (200) can be fixed on the tube seat (100) or separated from the tube seat (100) in a variety of ways, wherein the separation of the discharge pipe (200) from the tube seat (100) means that the discharge pipe (200) and the tube seat (100) can move relative to the tube seat (100) under the action of an external force or the weight of the discharge pipe (200) itself, so as to be separated from the tube seat (100). The fixing assembly (300) can be fixed to the tube seat (100) by clamping, plugging, clamping, bonding, magnetic connection, clamping connection or threaded connection, or the fixing assembly (300) can be a quick-release structure, which can realize the quick fixing of the discharge pipe (200) on the tube seat (100) or the quick separation of the discharge pipe (200) from the tube seat (100).
[0047] The embodiment of the utility model proposes a discharge pipe assembly and kitchen equipment, which is mainly set up separately through a pipe seat and a discharge pipe. When in use, the discharge pipe and the pipe seat can be detachably connected and communicated to achieve the fixing of the position of the discharge pipe and the feeding. When any discharge pipe is blocked or damaged, the blocked discharge pipe can be disassembled separately without the need to disassemble the pipe seat and other unblocked discharge pipes, making the disassembly and assembly of the discharge pipe convenient, reducing maintenance costs, improving maintenance efficiency, and saving time. At the same time, the pipe seat is used to connect with the kitchen equipment and is connected with the storage tank of the kitchen equipment through the feeding pipe. The disassembly of the discharge pipe will not pull the feeding pipe, avoiding the feeding pipe from falling off or scratching due to disassembly.
[0048] Several specific implementations of the fixing component (300) are exemplified below. It should be understood that the fixing component (300) is not limited to the following implementations, and the fixing component (300) may be one of the following implementations, or a combination of two or more implementations.
[0049] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the fixing component (300) includes at least one positioning component (310) and at least one slot (320), wherein the slot (320) passes through the plug-in slot (110) from the outside of the tube seat (100), and the positioning component (310) is used to be plugged into the slot (320) under the action of external force to squeeze or release the discharge tube (200).
[0050] After the discharge pipe (200) is plugged into the plug-in slot (110), the slot hole (320) will be opposite to the side wall of the discharge pipe (200). The positioning component (310) can be a bolt, and the slot hole (320) is a screw hole. When the bolt is screwed by external force, the bolt moves toward the discharge pipe (200) until the discharge pipe (200) is squeezed, or moves away from the discharge pipe (200) to release the discharge pipe (200). Alternatively, the positioning component (310) can be a pin, and the slot hole (320) is a light hole. The outer diameter of the pin is not less than the inner diameter of the slot hole (320). The pin is pressed or knocked by external force or rotated with a thread to be embedded in the slot hole (320) until the discharge pipe (200) is squeezed, and the pin and the slot hole (320) are interference fit. When disassembling, the pin can be pulled out by a tool. The number of the slot hole (320) and the positioning assembly (310) can be a single one or multiple, such as two. The two slot holes and the positioning assemblies (310) (320) are located on the same side of the discharge pipe (200) and are arranged at intervals to increase the stability of the positioning of the discharge pipe (200).
[0051] In one embodiment, if Figure 2-10 As shown, the fixing assembly (300) includes at least one positioning assembly (310) and at least one matching assembly (330), and the positioning assembly (310) or the matching assembly (330) is detachably arranged on the tube seat (100) or the discharge pipe (200); or, the positioning assembly (310) or the matching assembly (330) is integrally formed with the tube seat (100) or the discharge pipe (200). The positioning assembly (310) limits the displacement of the matching assembly (330) in the lateral and / or longitudinal directions and / or the circumferential direction; or, the positioning assembly (310) and the matching assembly (330) cooperate to limit the displacement of the discharge pipe (200) in the lateral and / or longitudinal directions and / or the circumferential direction.
[0052] The positioning component (310) can be detachably arranged on the tube seat (100), such as by plugging, clamping, screwing, etc., or it can be integrally formed with the tube seat (100), such as a protrusion or depression or hole integrally formed on the tube seat (100). The matching component (330) can be detachably arranged on the discharge pipe (200), such as by sleeve connection, clamping, damping connection, etc., or it can be integrally formed with the discharge pipe (200), such as a protrusion or depression or hole integrally formed on the discharge pipe (200). Alternatively, in some embodiments, the positioning component (310) can be detachably arranged on the discharge pipe (200) or integrally formed with the discharge pipe (200), and the matching component (330) can be detachably arranged on the tube seat (100) or integrally formed with the tube seat (100).
[0053] Through the interaction between the positioning assembly (310) and the matching assembly (330), at least the displacement of the discharge pipe (200) in the lateral and / or longitudinal and / or circumferential directions is limited, thereby achieving the position limitation of the discharge pipe (200) and the pipe seat (100). Specifically, if the discharge pipe (200) is threadedly connected to the pipe seat (100), the positioning assembly (310) and the matching assembly (330) cooperate to limit the displacement of the discharge pipe (200), thereby fixing the relative position of the discharge pipe (200) and the pipe seat (100).
[0054] The present application exemplifies the following specific implementations of the positioning assembly (310) and the matching assembly (330):
[0055] In the first embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the positioning component (310) includes a first positioning member (311), and the matching component (330) includes a clamping portion (331) abutting against the first positioning member (311), and the clamping portion (331) is arranged on the discharge tube (200) or the tube seat (100). The first positioning member (311) moves relative to the clamping portion (331) under the action of external force to squeeze or release the discharge tube (200).
[0056] For example, the clamping part (331) can be arranged on the discharge pipe (200), the first positioning member (311) can be detachably connected to the tube seat (100) or at least a part of the first positioning member (311) can be movable relative to the tube seat (100), and the first positioning member (311) moves relative to the tube seat (100) under the action of an external force, so as to move relative to the clamping part (331) and interact with the clamping part (331), thereby fixing or releasing the discharge pipe (200). In one embodiment, the clamping part (201) includes a clamping depression and / or a clamping protrusion provided on the discharge pipe (200), the first positioning member (311) includes an action rod, and a plug hole (111) is provided on the tube seat (100), and the plug hole (111) passes through the plug slot (110) from the outside of the tube seat (100). When the discharge tube (200) is plugged into the plug-in groove (110), at least one end of the extending direction of the clamping recess corresponds to the insertion hole (111), or one end of the insertion hole (111) extending from the clamping protrusion corresponds to the area above the clamping protrusion. The action rod is used to flexibly penetrate the insertion hole (111) to embed into the clamping recess or act on the upper surface of the clamping protrusion, thereby fixing or releasing the discharge tube (200). In some embodiments, the insertion holes (111) can be arranged in pairs, and the action rod is simultaneously connected to two insertion holes (111), and the area between the two insertion holes (111) and the clamping portion (331) act, which can increase the strength of the action and ensure the stability of the action rod. The clamping part (201) may include a single clamping depression or clamping protrusion, or may include multiple clamping depressions or multiple clamping protrusions. For example, the clamping part (201) includes two clamping depressions, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the discharge pipe (200) in the radial direction. The first positioning member (311) correspondingly includes two limiting rods, which are respectively used to move relative to the two clamping depressions and act with the clamping depressions, thereby making the discharge pipe (200) stable in radial force and not skewed. In some embodiments, the two limiting rods are connected to each other, so that the first positioning member (311) is approximately U-shaped, so as to facilitate the movement of the first positioning member (311) and facilitate disassembly and assembly.
[0057] In some embodiments, the clamping portion (331) can also be set on the tube seat (100). If the aforementioned socket (111) is used as the clamping portion (331), no additional settings are performed on the discharge tube (200). When the first positioning member (311) is inserted into the socket (111), the discharge tube (200) is squeezed, thereby achieving the limitation of the discharge tube (200).
[0058] In the second embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the positioning component (310) includes a first positioning member (311), and the matching component (330) includes a stopper (332). A partial area of the stopper (332) is spaced apart from the tube seat (100) in the axial direction of the tube seat (100). The first positioning member (311) is movably connected between the stopper (332) and the tube seat (100) to directly limit the movement of the discharge tube (200) or limit the movement by cooperating with the clamping portion (331).
[0059] The implementation of the first positioning member (311) and the clamping portion (331) can refer to the description of each implementation in the aforementioned "one", and will not be repeated here. The difference is that the tube seat (100) does not have a plug hole (111), but a stopper (332) is provided, and the space between a part of the stopper (332) and the tube seat (100) can be equivalent to the plug hole (111), and the first positioning member (311) is limited by the stopper (332) and the tube seat (100). Different sides of the stopper (332) include an area spaced apart from the tube seat (100), and the first positioning member (311) includes two mutually connected limiting rods, so that the first positioning member (311) is approximately U-shaped, and the two limiting rods of the first positioning member (311) are respectively arranged on different sides of the stopper (332) and are movably plugged between the stopper (332) and the tube seat (100), and by adjusting the interval between the limiting rods, the discharging tube (200) is directly squeezed after the limiting rods are plugged in. Alternatively, a clamping portion (331) is provided on the discharging tube (200), and the clamping portion (331) can be a clamping depression, and the limiting rod interacts with the side wall of the depression to limit the movement of the discharging tube (200) in the axial direction of the plug-in groove (110), thereby further ensuring the stability of the position of the discharging tube (200). Alternatively, the clamping portion (331) may also be a clamping protrusion, and the limiting rod extends into the side of the clamping protrusion away from the tube seat (100), and then through the action of the clamping protrusion, the movement of the discharge pipe (200) out of the plug-in groove (110) is limited, and the stability of the position of the discharge pipe (200) is further ensured. There may be two stoppers (332), which are respectively arranged on both sides of the radial direction of the tube seat (100). The stoppers (332) are arranged instead of the insertion holes (111), so that the first positioning member (311) can be visually plugged in, making the plugging of the first positioning member (311) convenient.
[0060] In the third embodiment, if Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the mating component (330) includes an intermediate component (333), and the positioning component (310) includes at least one protrusion (312). The protrusion (312) fixes the intermediate component (333) on the tube seat (100), and the protrusion (312) and the tube seat (100) are integrally formed, or the protrusion (312) and the tube seat (100) are detachably connected, or the protrusion (312) at least partially extends into the plug-in slot (110).
[0061] The middle piece (333) is connected to the discharge pipe (200) and can move with the discharge pipe (200). The protrusion (312) can be a structure of the tube seat (100) protruding from the outer wall of the tube seat (100). Correspondingly, the middle piece (333) is used to interact with the protrusion (312) from the outside of the tube seat (100) and then be fixed on the tube seat (100). Alternatively, the protrusion (312) can also be a structure protruding from the inner wall of the tube seat (100), that is, extending into the plug-in slot (110). The middle piece (333) is used to at least partially extend into the plug-in slot (110), and interact with the protrusion (312) from the inside of the plug-in slot (110), and then be fixed on the tube seat (100). The protrusion (312) can be an external protrusion structure integrally formed with the tube seat (100), and the protrusion (312) can also be a pin or a bolt, etc., which is detachably connected to the tube seat (100).
[0062] The following uses the interaction between the intermediate member (333) and the protrusion (312) outside the tube seat (100) as an example to describe several implementation methods in detail:
[0063] First, the middle piece (333) includes an extension plate extending toward one side of the tube base (100), and an opening (3331) is formed on the extension plate. Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the opening (3331) is a notch extending vertically downward in the axial direction of the plug-in slot (110), and the opening (3331) allows the middle piece (333) to have a movable space in the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in order to limit the position with the protrusion (312), the opening (3331) includes a limiting area and a containing area, the width of the limiting area is less than the outer diameter of the protrusion (312), the width of the containing area can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the protrusion (312), and the limiting area is closer to the edge of the opening than the containing area. In the process of the discharge pipe (200) being inserted into the plug-in slot (110), the middle piece (333) is used to follow the discharge pipe (200) and move upward along the axial direction of the plug-in slot (110), so that the protrusion (312) enters the containing area by squeezing the limiting area, and acts with the opening (3331) to fix the middle piece (333). The number of the extension plates or openings (3331) can be two, which are respectively located on the radial sides of the discharge pipe (200), and the number of the protrusions (312) is also two, which are respectively acted on by the radial sides of the discharge pipe (200) and the openings (3331), thereby making the discharge pipe (200) balanced in force and the connection more stable. The number of the extension plates or openings (3331) can also be more, without limitation.
[0064] Secondly, the middle piece (333) includes an extension plate extending toward one side of the tube seat (100), and an opening (3331) is formed on the extension plate. Figure 6As shown, the opening (3331) is a notch provided in the circumferential direction of the plug-in slot (110), and the opening (3331) allows the middle piece (333) to have a movable space in the circumferential direction. The discharge pipe (200) rotates in the plug-in slot (110), and the middle piece (333) is used to follow the discharge pipe (200) and move in the circumferential direction of the plug-in slot (110), so that the protrusion (312) enters the opening (3331) and interacts with the edge of the opening (3331), thereby fixing the middle piece (333) in the axial direction of the plug-in slot (110). The number of extension plates or openings (3331) can be two or more, which will not be repeated. In addition, the opening (3331) can also include a limiting area and a accommodating area, which can ensure that the protrusion (312) and the opening (3331) are more firmly positioned in the circumferential direction.
[0065] Third, the middle piece (333) includes an extension plate extending toward one side of the tube seat (100), and an opening (3331) is provided on the extension plate. The opening (3331) is a notch arranged in the transverse direction, and the opening (3331) allows the middle piece (333) to have movable space in the transverse direction. The transverse space of the plug-in slot (110) is larger than the outer diameter of the discharge pipe (200), and the discharge pipe (200) can move transversely in the plug-in slot (110). The middle piece (333) is used to follow the transverse movement of the discharge pipe (200), and then the protrusion (312) enters the opening (3331) and interacts with the edge of the opening (3331), thereby fixing the middle piece (333) in the longitudinal direction. The number of the extension plates or the openings (3331) can be two or more, and the opening (3331) can also include a limiting area and a accommodating area, which will not be repeated.
[0066] Fourth, if Figure 7 As shown, the middle piece (333) includes an extension plate extending toward one side of the tube seat (100), and a through hole (3332) is provided on the extension plate. The tube seat (100) is provided with a positioning hole (112), and the positioning hole (112) can be a screw hole or a light hole. The protrusion (312) includes a positioning bolt, which is threaded into the through hole (3332) and screwed into the positioning hole (112); or the protrusion (312) includes a positioning pin, which is threaded into the through hole (3332) and interference-connected with the light hole, thereby fixing the middle piece (333) to the tube seat (100). The number of extension plates or openings (3331) can be two or more, and the number of protrusions (312) can also be two or more, which will not be repeated.
[0067] It is worth noting that in the embodiment where the matching component (330) includes the middle piece (333) and the positioning component (310) includes at least one protrusion (312), the protrusion (312) and the discharge pipe (200) can also be integrally formed, or the protrusion (312) and the discharge pipe (200) can be detachably connected, and the middle piece (333) is connected to the pipe seat (100), and the protrusion (312) fixes the middle piece (333) on the discharge pipe (200). The specific implementation method can refer to the various embodiments of the protrusion (312) fixing the middle piece (333) on the pipe seat (100), which will not be repeated.
[0068] In a fourth embodiment, the mating component (330) includes a snap ring (334), the positioning component (310) includes a fixing portion (313) movably engaged with the snap ring (334), the snap ring (334) includes a ring body (3341) and at least one claw (3342), and the snap ring (334) or the fixing portion (313) is selectively disposed on the tube seat (100).
[0069] like Figure 8-10 As shown, the clamping ring (334) can be fixedly connected to the discharge pipe (200), the claw (3342) extends toward the pipe seat (100), and the fixing part (313) is fixedly arranged on the pipe seat (100). Specifically, the clamping ring (334) and the discharge pipe (200) can be integrally formed, or the clamping ring (334) is sleeved on the discharge pipe (200), and the clamping ring (334) and the discharge pipe (200) are interference fit; or the fixing part (313) and the pipe seat (100) can be integrally formed, or the fixing part (313) is sleeved on the pipe seat (100), and the fixing part (313) and the pipe seat (100) are interference fit. Alternatively, the clamping ring (334) may be fixedly connected to the tube seat (100), the claw (3342) may extend toward the discharge tube (200), and the fixing portion (313) may be fixedly arranged on the discharge tube (200). Specifically, the clamping ring (334) and the tube seat (100) may be integrally formed, or the clamping ring (334) may be sleeved on the tube seat (100), and the clamping ring (334) and the tube seat (100) may be interference fit; the fixing portion (313) and the discharge tube (200) may be integrally formed, or the fixing portion (313) may be sleeved on the discharge tube (200), and the fixing portion (313) and the discharge tube (200) may be interference fit.
[0070] In some embodiments, the clamping ring (334) may be frictionally connected to the discharge pipe (200), such as processing a friction surface at the connection position between the clamping ring (334) and the discharge pipe (200) to increase the friction between the clamping ring (334) and the discharge pipe (200), so that the clamping ring (334) can be fixed to the discharge pipe (200) by friction. Alternatively, the clamping ring (334) may be frictionally connected to the tube seat (100), and the clamping ring (334) may be fixed to the tube seat (100) by friction. Alternatively, the fixing portion (313) may be frictionally connected to the discharge pipe (200), and the fixing portion (313) may be fixed to the discharge pipe (200) by friction; or the fixing portion (313) may be frictionally connected to the tube seat (100), and the fixing portion (313) may be fixed to the tube seat (100) by friction.
[0071] In some other embodiments, such as Fig. 9As shown, the discharge pipe (200) includes a tube body (210) and an extrusion platform (220), and the extrusion platform (220) protrudes from the outer wall of the tube body (210). The clamping ring (334) can be movably sleeved on the discharge pipe (200), and the fixing part (313) is fixedly arranged on the tube seat (100), or the clamping ring (334) and the discharge pipe (200) are frictionally connected, and the fixing part (313) and the tube seat (100) are frictionally connected. The ring body (3341) of the clamping ring (334) is used to cooperate with the fixing part (313), and the extrusion platform (220) is squeezed by the opposite sides of the extrusion platform (220), thereby realizing the limit of the discharge pipe (200). Alternatively, the tube seat (100) includes a seat body and a pressing platform (220), the pressing platform (220) protruding from the outer wall of the seat body, the clamping ring (334) can be movably sleeved on the seat body, and the fixing part (313) can be fixedly arranged on the discharge pipe (200), or the clamping ring (334) can be frictionally connected to the seat body, and the fixing part (313) can be frictionally connected to the discharge pipe (200). The ring body (3341) of the clamping ring (334) is used to cooperate with the fixing part (313), and the pressing platform (220) is pressed by the opposite sides of the pressing platform (220), thereby realizing the limit of the discharge pipe (200). Alternatively, the fixing portion (313) may be an annular structure, and the clamping ring (334) and the fixing portion (313) may be movably sleeved on the tube seat (100) and the discharge tube (200) respectively; or, the clamping ring (334) and the fixing portion (313) may be movably sleeved on the discharge tube (200) and the tube seat (100) respectively, and both the discharge tube (200) and the tube seat (100) may be provided with an extrusion platform (220), and the ring body (3341) of the clamping ring (334) and the fixing portion (313) may be graded to abut against the extrusion platforms (220) on opposite sides of the two extrusion platforms (220), thereby achieving the limiting of the discharge tube (200) and the tube seat (100). The implementation method of the movable sleeve connection of the clamping ring (334) or the fixing part (313) makes it possible to disassemble and replace the clamping ring (334) or the fixing part (313), and facilitates cleaning, thereby avoiding wear and failure due to long-term use.
[0072] The aforementioned extrusion platform (220) can be formed integrally with the tube body (210) or the seat body, or can be formed by sleeve-fitting a damping ring with the extrusion platform (220) on the tube body (210) or the seat body. For example, the extrusion platform (220) can be made of a component capable of generating friction resistance, such as a rubber member, so as to increase the friction between the extrusion platform (220) and the tube body (210), the friction between the extrusion platform (220) and the tube seat (100), and the friction between the extrusion platform (220) and the clamping ring (334), thereby achieving a better limiting effect between the discharge tube (200) and the tube seat (100), and making the position of the discharge tube (200) more stable.
[0073] The claw (3342) and the fixing portion (313) may function in a variety of ways. For example, in one embodiment, Figure 8-9 As shown, at least part of the end of the claw (3342) is a flexible end, so that the end of the claw (3342) can be elastic, and the fixing portion (313) is provided with a protrusion (3131), and the claw (3342) is clamped on the protrusion (3131) by elasticity, so that the claw (3342) clamps or detaches from the tube seat (100). Taking the fixing portion (313) fixedly arranged on the tube seat (100) as an example, the protrusion (3131) can include an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is inclined toward the outside of the tube seat (100) in the direction close to the notch of the plug-in slot (110), and the claw (3342) rebounds toward the inside of the discharge tube (200), so that the claw (3342) can squeeze the inclined surface and be limited by the inclination of the inclined surface.
[0074] In another embodiment, if Fig.10 As shown, the claw (3342) can be rigid and will not deform or will not deform significantly under the action of external force. Taking the fixing portion (313) fixedly arranged on the tube seat (100) as an example, the protrusion (3131) is a single one, or multiple protrusions (3131) are dispersedly arranged along the circumference of the tube seat (100). The claw (3342) includes an extension portion and a hanging portion, the extension portion extends from the clamping ring (334) to one side of the tube seat (100), the hanging portion is connected to the extension portion, and the hanging portion and the extension portion form a certain angle, and the inner contour enclosed by the hanging portion and the extension portion is adapted to the outer contour of the protrusion (3131). When in use, the claw (3342) moves from the vacant area outside the protrusion (3131) to the hanging part lower than the protrusion (3131), and then the discharge tube (200) is rotated, the hanging part moves to the bottom of the protrusion (3131), and the extension part moves to the side of the protrusion (3131), and then the claw (3342) and the protrusion (3131) are hung. Compared with the elastic clamping method, the rigid claw (3342) hanging has better connection strength.
[0075] The claw (3342) can be a single one or multiple claws (3342), and the multiple claws (3342) can be evenly distributed along the circumference of the clamping ring (334) or unevenly distributed. For example, there can be two claws (3342), and the two claws (3342) are arranged on both radial sides of the clamping ring (334), or on both radial sides of the tube seat (100) or the discharge tube (200), so that the clamping ring (334) can be fixed more balanced and stable. The protrusion (3131) and the claw (3342) can be arranged correspondingly, and the number is the same, or the number of the protrusion (3131) can be greater than the number of the claws (3342), such as there are two claws (3342), and the protrusion (3131) can be four.
[0076] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, at least one damping member (400) is provided on the discharge pipe (200) and / or the pipe seat (100), and the damping member (400) includes at least one friction member, or at least one friction member and a resistance groove (410). When the discharge pipe (200) is installed on the pipe seat (100), the damping member (400) is at least partially located in the overlapping section between the discharge pipe (200) and the pipe seat (100).
[0077] The damping member (400) may include at least one friction member, and the friction member may be made of a flexible friction material such as rubber. For example, the friction member is an annular rubber ring or a rubber member of other shapes. The friction member may be a single one or multiple ones, such as multiple annular rubber rings arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the discharge pipe (200). When the discharge pipe (200) is installed on the pipe seat (100), the friction member is used to frictionally abut against the inner wall of the plug-in groove (110), thereby making it difficult for the discharge pipe (200) and the pipe seat (100) to move relative to each other. In some other embodiments, the damping member (400) may include a friction member and a resistance groove (410), and the resistance groove (410) may be annular or other shapes, such as a threaded shape. The friction member is partially embedded in the resistance groove (410) and partially protrudes from the resistance groove (410). The resistance groove (410) makes the position of the friction member more stable and facilitates the replacement of the friction member.
[0078] In some embodiments, the clamping portion (331) can overlap with the resistance groove (410), which reduces the number of process steps and reduces the manufacturing difficulty while ensuring that the discharge pipe (200) is plugged in and fixed.
[0079] In one embodiment, the discharge pipe assembly further includes at least one nozzle (500), and a discharge port for discharging is provided on the nozzle (500). The nozzle (500) is movably connected to the discharge pipe (200), and the discharge port is communicated with the discharge pipe (200). At least a portion of the nozzle (500) including the discharge port can be moved relative to the discharge pipe (200) to adjust the direction of the discharge port.
[0080] The nozzle (500) and the discharge pipe (200) can be threadedly connected or clamped, etc., and a part of the nozzle (500) is made of a shapeable flexible hose, such as a bellows. The nozzle (500) can change its shape under external force, so that the direction of the discharge port can be adjusted, and the discharge direction of the auxiliary material can be adjusted.
[0081] On the other hand, the utility model also provides a kitchen device, comprising a discharge pipe assembly as described in any one of the above items.
[0082] The discharge pipe assembly can be fixed on the kitchen equipment, such as on the main supporting structure or seasoning mechanism of the kitchen equipment. It can be fixed by welding, or by methods such as snap-on, hanging, plug-in, bonding, magnetic connection, etc.
[0083] The kitchen device includes a discharge pipe assembly as described above, and the advantages of the discharge pipe assembly as described above are not described in detail here.
[0084] The above is only a specific implementation of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
