DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0029] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 6 The present invention will now be described in detail with respect to a nozzle module 100, a liquid dispensing device, and a cooking device 200, provided in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. The nozzle module 100 is used in the liquid dispensing device, which is used in the cooking device 200. The cooking device 200 may be a smart cooking machine or other kitchen appliance. The liquid dispensing device can dispense liquid seasonings according to an electronic recipe, thereby enhancing the intelligence of the cooking device 200.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a nozzle module 100 for a cooking device 200, and the nozzle module 100 includes: a shell 110, the shell 110 is detachably connected to the frame 210 of the cooking device 200, and encloses an installation cavity 130; a nozzle 120, the nozzle 120 is installed inside the installation cavity 130, and the nozzle 120 includes a first pipe 121 and a second pipe 122 that are bent. The first pipe 121 is passed through the shell 110 and has a discharge port 123 at the end away from the second pipe 122. The second pipe 122 has a feed port 124 at the end away from the first pipe 121. The second pipe 122 is inclined downward from the bend to the feed port 124.

[0032] The nozzle module 100 provided in this embodiment includes a shell 110 and a nozzle 120, and the nozzle 120 includes a first pipe 121 and a second pipe 122 that are bent, wherein the shell 110 and the frame 210 of the cooking device 200 are detachably connected and enclosed to form an installation cavity 130, and the nozzle 120 is installed inside the installation cavity 130, the first pipe 121 passes through the shell 110 and is provided with a discharge port 123 at the end away from the second pipe 122, and the second pipe 122 is provided with a feed port 124 at the end away from the first pipe 121, thereby allowing liquid seasoning to be delivered to a preset position through the feed port 124, the second pipe 122, the first pipe 121, and the discharge port 123, such as the liquid seasoning is delivered to the inside of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 through the nozzle 120. Since the nozzle 120 is installed inside the installation cavity 130 enclosed by the shell 110 and the frame 210, the installation cavity 130 provides good protection and shielding for the nozzle 120. Compared with the cooking equipment in the related art in which the nozzle is directly exposed to the external space, the problem of the nozzle 120 being contaminated by oil smoke and difficult to clean can be reduced or avoided, which greatly reduces the degree of contamination and the difficulty of cleaning the nozzle 120, and can extend the cleaning frequency of the nozzle 120, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0033] At the same time, because the housing 110 is detachably connected to the frame 210, when the housing 110 is exposed to the external environment for a long time and is contaminated by oil smoke, the housing 110 can be removed from the frame 210 and the housing 110 and the nozzle 120 can be cleaned. Compared with the related art of directly cleaning the nozzle 120 mounted on the frame, this cleaning method greatly simplifies the cleaning difficulty, helps improve cleaning efficiency and thoroughness, and facilitates user operation. It can be understood that reinstalling the cleaned housing 110 on the frame 210 can effectively shield and protect the nozzle 120 in the installation cavity 130.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the first pipeline 121 and the second pipeline 122 of the nozzle 120 are bent, that is, the first pipeline 121 and the second pipeline 122 of the nozzle 120 are bent at the connection position, and the second pipeline 122 of the nozzle 120 is inclined downward from the bend to the feed port 124. In this way, when the nozzle 120 is spraying, when the liquid flows into the second pipeline 122 through the feed port 124, it needs to climb a slope along the inclined second pipeline 122, pass through the bend, the first pipeline 121, and be sprayed out from the discharge port 123. Therefore, when the liquid feeding device stops feeding, the liquid between the bend and the discharge port 123 will continue to flow out through the discharge port 123, while the liquid in the second pipeline 122 will flow back from the bend to the feed port 124 along the inclined downward second pipeline 122. Compared with the related art in which the second pipe of the nozzle is arranged horizontally, or the entire nozzle is arranged horizontally, and the liquid in the second pipe and the first pipe will flow out through the discharge port after the feeding is stopped, the nozzle 120 provided in this embodiment can reduce the amount of dripping after the feeding is stopped, thereby improving the accuracy of the feeding, reducing the waste of liquid seasoning, and saving cooking costs.

[0035] The housing 110 may be detachably connected to the frame 210 by at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a plug-in structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic structure.

[0036] Specifically, each surface of the housing 110 may be a substantially planar structure to facilitate cleaning of the housing 110 after it becomes dirty.

[0037] Furthermore, the housing 110 may be configured as a bottom-opening structure, and the bottom opening is connected to the rack 210 , so that the rack 210 seals the bottom opening and forms the installation cavity 130 together with the housing 110 .

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the angle between the second pipeline 122 and the horizontal plane is 10 degrees to 35 degrees. Figure 2 The angle α is shown in .

[0039] If the angle between the second conduit 122 and the horizontal plane is too large, the liquid may not be able to reach the bend and may flow back, affecting the feeding efficiency. If the angle between the second conduit 122 and the horizontal plane is too small, the liquid in the second conduit 122 may flow through the bend due to inertia after the feeding stops, thereby increasing the amount of dripping after the feeding stops. In this embodiment, by properly setting the angle between the second conduit 122 and the horizontal plane, that is, by properly setting the inclination angle of the second conduit 122, it is possible to ensure that the liquid passes through the feed inlet 124 along the second conduit 122 and quickly reaches the bend and is ejected through the first conduit 121 and the discharge port 123. At the same time, it is possible to ensure that the second conduit 122 has a good backflow phenomenon after the feeding stops. In other words, by properly setting the angle between the second conduit 122 and the horizontal plane, it is possible to ensure that the second conduit 122 has a reliable and stable backflow phenomenon after the feeding stops, while ensuring good feeding efficiency of the nozzle 120, thereby reducing the amount of dripping after the feeding stops and improving the feeding accuracy.

[0040] Specifically, the angle α between the second pipeline 122 and the horizontal plane can be 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, or any other angle between 10 degrees and 35 degrees.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the first pipeline 121 is arranged to be inclined downward from the bend to the discharge port 123, and the discharge port 123 is directed toward the pot mouth 221 of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200.

[0042] Thus, during the cooking process, the liquid flowing from the second conduit 122 through the bend is guided by the first conduit 121, which is arranged downwardly and obliquely toward the discharge port 123, and can be smoothly and quickly sprayed from the discharge port 123 toward the pot opening 221 of the pot 220, thereby delivering the liquid seasoning. Furthermore, this arrangement ensures that the liquid sprayed from the discharge port 123 toward the pot 220 has a certain impact force, which helps improve cooking efficiency and allows the liquid seasoning to be accurately delivered to the appropriate location, reducing the problem of the liquid seasoning being sprayed on the edge of the pot 220 and causing it to burn or stick to the pot 220. This further improves cooking accuracy and ensures good cooking quality.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first conduit and the second conduit are detachably connected.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the length of the first pipeline 121 is 1 mm to 10 mm.

[0045] After the feeding is stopped, only the liquid in the first pipe 121 in the nozzle 120 will continue to drip through the bend and the discharge port 123, while the liquid in the second pipe 122 will flow back through the bend toward the feed port 124. Therefore, by reasonably setting the length of the first pipe 121, while ensuring that the liquid can be smoothly ejected from the discharge port 123 through the bend to reduce the backflow of the first pipe 121, the amount of dripping after the feeding is stopped is minimized, and the influence of the amount of dripping after the feeding is stopped on the feeding accuracy is reduced, so as to improve the feeding accuracy.

[0046] Specifically, the length of the first pipe 121 can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, or any other size within the range of 1 mm to 10 mm. Preferably, the length of the first pipe 121 can be 2 mm to 5 mm.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the number of nozzles 120 is one or more. Different numbers of nozzles 120 can satisfy the liquid feeding device's operation of feeding different types of liquids, and different numbers of nozzles 120 can meet the liquid feeding device's different feeding efficiency requirements. In other words, different nozzles 120 can spray different types of liquid seasonings, or different nozzles 120 can spray the same type of liquid seasoning.

[0048] Specifically, the number of the spray heads 120 may be one, two, three, four, or other numbers.

[0049] Furthermore, the plurality of nozzles 120 are arranged along a first line, and the first line is at least one of a horizontal straight line, a vertical straight line, an inclined straight line, a wavy line, a bending line, and a cross line. In other words, the plurality of nozzles 120 can be arranged in a variety of ways. For example, the plurality of nozzles 120 can be arranged in a straight line in the horizontal direction, and / or, the plurality of nozzles 120 can be arranged in a straight line in the vertical direction, and / or, the plurality of nozzles 120 can be arranged along an inclined straight line, and / or, the plurality of nozzles 120 can also be arranged along a wavy line, and / or, the plurality of nozzles 120 can also be arranged along a bending line, and / or, the plurality of nozzles 120 can also be arranged along a cross line, etc.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 6 As shown, multiple nozzles 120 are divided into two groups, and multiple nozzles 120 in each group are arranged along a straight line in the horizontal direction. The two groups of nozzles 120 are arranged along a straight line in the vertical direction, wherein the nozzles 120 in the upper and lower groups are opposite to each other, or are arranged in pairs.

[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the discharge port 123 corresponds to the nozzle 120, that is, each nozzle 120 is provided with a discharge port 123. The discharge ports 123 of the plurality of nozzles 120 include a first discharge port 125 and a second discharge port 126 located below the first discharge port 125. Figure 6 As shown, the first discharge port 125 can be understood as the discharge port 123 of the group of nozzles 120 located above, and the second discharge port 126 can be understood as the discharge port 123 of the group of nozzles 120 located below.

[0052] The intersection of the discharge path of the first discharge port 125 and the pot 220 is within a circle with a diameter of 200 mm and the center of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 as the center. The center of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 can be understood as the center of the bottom of the pot 220. The center of the bottom of the pot can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown by point O in FIG, a circle with a diameter D equal to 200 mm and a center of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 as the center can be Figure 2 As shown, the intersection point of the discharge path of the first discharge port 125 and the pot 220 can be Figure 2 The diameter shown is D and the center is O.

[0053] Since ingredients typically land on the bottom of the pot near the center during the unloading process, in this embodiment, the intersection of the discharge path through the first discharge port 125 and the pot 220 is within a circle with a diameter of 200 mm, centered at the center of the pot 220 of the cooking apparatus 200. This allows the liquid seasoning sprayed from the first discharge port 125 to be sprayed onto the ingredients located in the center of the pot bottom as much as possible, preventing the liquid seasoning from being sprayed onto the edge of the pot 220 and causing the liquid seasoning to burn or stick to the pot 220. This helps improve unloading accuracy and ensures good cooking quality of the ingredients. Specifically, the horizontal distance between the intersection of the discharge path through the first discharge port 125 and the pot 220 and the center of the pot bottom of the pot 220 can be 0 mm, 30 mm, 50 mm, 80 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm, 180 mm, 200 mm, or any other size within the range of 0 mm to 200 mm.

[0054] In some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the concentration of the liquid flowing through the first discharge port 125 is greater than the concentration of the liquid flowing through the second discharge port 126. Figure 6 The upper group of nozzles 120 is used to discharge liquid seasonings with a higher concentration, while the lower group of nozzles 120 is used to discharge seasonings with a lower concentration.

[0055] Since the liquid seasoning with a higher concentration sprayed on the edge of the pot 220 is more likely to burn and stick to the pot than the liquid seasoning with a lower concentration sprayed on the edge of the pot 220, and the intersection of the discharge path of the first discharge port 125 and the pot 220 is within a circle with a diameter of 200 mm with the center of the pot 220 of the cooking equipment 200 as the center, in this embodiment, the liquid seasoning with a higher concentration is sprayed out through the first discharge port 125, so that the liquid seasoning with a higher concentration sprayed out through the first discharge port 125 can be sprayed onto the food located in the center area of the pot bottom as much as possible, preventing the problem of the liquid seasoning with a higher concentration being burned and stuck to the pot 220 caused by being sprayed on the edge of the pot 220. This is conducive to improving the feeding accuracy and ensuring the good cooking quality of the food.

[0056] Furthermore, the viscosity of the liquid flowing through the first discharge port 125 is greater than the viscosity of the liquid flowing through the second discharge port 126. Figure 6 The upper group of nozzles 120 is used to discharge liquid seasonings with a relatively high viscosity, while the lower group of nozzles 120 is used to discharge seasonings with a relatively low viscosity.

[0057] Since liquid seasonings with higher viscosity sprayed on the edge of the pot 220 are more likely to burn and stick to the pot than liquid seasonings with lower viscosity sprayed on the edge of the pot 220, the liquid seasonings with higher viscosity are sprayed out through the first discharge port 125 and sprayed as much as possible on the food in the center area of the pot bottom. This can prevent or reduce the problem of liquid seasonings with higher viscosity being sprayed on the edge of the pot 220, causing the liquid seasonings to burn and stick to the pot 220. This is beneficial to improving the feeding accuracy and ensuring good cooking quality of the food.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the vertical projection distance of the discharge port 123 from the center of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 is 150 mm to 250 mm.

[0059] The center of the pot 220 can be understood as the center of the bottom of the pot 220. Figure 1 As shown by the arrow Z in FIG, the distance between the projection of the discharge port 123 in the vertical direction and the center of the pot 220 of the cooking device can be as follows Figure 1 As shown in L.

[0060] In this embodiment, by properly setting the distance between the vertical projection of the discharge port 123 and the center of the pot 220 of the cooking apparatus, it is possible to avoid the problem of the distance between the vertical projection of the discharge port 123 and the center of the pot 220 being too small, thereby bringing the nozzle 120 too close to the pot opening 221 and hindering manual or mechanical stirring and stir-frying of ingredients through the pot opening 221. It is also possible to avoid the problem of hot air in the pot 220 entering the second and first conduits through the discharge port 123 and affecting the service life of the nozzle 120. Thus, the impact of the nozzle 120 on operations such as stirring and stir-frying ingredients can be reduced, and the service life of the nozzle 120 can be extended. Furthermore, this arrangement can avoid the situation where the distance between the vertical projection of the discharge port 123 and the center of the pot 220 is too large, resulting in liquid seasoning dripping out of the pot when the feeding is almost finished, thereby improving the accuracy of feeding and ensuring good cooking quality.

[0061] Specifically, the distance L between the projection of the discharge port 123 in the vertical direction and the center of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200 is 150mm, 180mm, 190mm, 200mm, 220mm, 240mm, 250mm, or any other size within the range of 150mm to 250mm.

[0062] In some possible embodiments of the present invention, the nozzle 120 is fixedly connected to the housing 110, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the connection between the nozzle 120 and the housing 110 and preventing the nozzle 120 from moving relative to the housing 110 and affecting the accuracy of the feeding position. Specifically, the first pipeline 121 of the nozzle 120 can be fixed to the housing 110 by at least one of a bolt structure, a clamping structure, a magnetic structure, welding, etc.

[0063] In other possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the nozzle 120 is movably connected to the shell 110 to adjust the discharge direction of the discharge port 123. This setting can achieve the adjustment of the direction of the discharge port 123 by moving the nozzle 120 relative to the shell 110, and then achieve the adjustment of the discharge path of the discharge port 123 to perform spraying operations at different positions.

[0064] Specifically, the first pipeline 121 of the nozzle 120 can be installed on the housing 110 through a ball valve, a rotating part, a rotating part, etc., so as to adjust the discharge direction of the discharge port 123.

[0065] In some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the nozzle module 100 further includes a material pipe, a first end of which is located in the mounting cavity 130 and connected to the feed port 124, and a second end of which is disposed through the frame 210 and extends into the interior of the frame 210. Thus, the nozzle module 100 is connected to other components of the liquid dispensing device within the frame 210 through the material pipe, thereby completing the assembly of the entire liquid dispensing device.

[0066] In this embodiment, since the first end of the material pipe is connected to the feed port 124 and is located in the installation cavity 130, the installation cavity 130 plays a good protective and shielding role for the part of the material pipe connected to the feed port 124, which can reduce or avoid the problem that the part of the material pipe connected to the nozzle 120 is contaminated by oil smoke and difficult to clean, greatly reduces the degree of contamination and the difficulty of cleaning of the part of the material pipe connected to the nozzle 120, and can extend the cleaning frequency of the part of the material pipe connected to the nozzle 120, thereby improving user satisfaction.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention provides a liquid dispensing device for use with a cooking device 200, comprising: a pump head and the nozzle module 100 according to any one of the first aspects. The pump head is located within a frame 210 and is connected to the second end of the material pipe of the nozzle module 100. Since the liquid dispensing device includes the nozzle module 100 according to any one of the aforementioned embodiments, it has all the beneficial technical effects of the aforementioned nozzle module 100, which will not be detailed here.

[0068] Among them, the pump head is located inside the frame 210, the second end of the material pipe of the nozzle module 100 is connected to the pump head, the first end of the material pipe is connected to the feed port 124 of the nozzle 120, and the pump head is connected to the liquid material box. Therefore, when the pump head is working, the liquid seasoning in the liquid material box can enter the second pipeline 122 of the nozzle 120 through the pump head, the material pipe, and the feed port 124, and be sprayed out from the first pipeline 121 and the discharge port 123 through the bend to realize the feeding operation of the liquid seasoning.

[0069] Among them, the casing plays a good role in protecting, shielding and storing the pump head, part of the material pipe connected to the pump head, and the liquid material box, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness and service life of the pump head, part of the material pipe connected to the pump head, and the liquid material box, and can improve the neatness and aesthetics of the appearance of the cooking equipment 200.

[0070] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the shell 110 includes a first side wall 111 provided with a through hole, the discharge port 123 is provided on the first side wall 111, the first side wall 111 is inclined, and the bottom end of the first side wall 111 is located on the outside of the pot mouth 221 of the pot 220 of the cooking device 200.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first side wall 111 of the shell 110 is provided with a through hole, and the discharge port 123 of the nozzle 120 is provided on the first side wall 111, that is, the first pipeline 121 of the nozzle 120 extends to the outside of the shell 110 through the through hole, so that the liquid seasoning can be smoothly sprayed into the interior of the pot 220 through the discharge port 123.

[0072] To ensure that the liquid seasoning can be smoothly sprayed into the interior of the pot 220 through the discharge port 123, the pot mouth 221 of the pot 220 is located at the top of the pot 220. Therefore, the discharge port 123 is located above the pot 220, so that at least the first side wall 111 of the housing 110 is located above the pot 220. Due to the high temperature environment in which the cooking device 200 operates, water vapor condenses on the surface of the housing 110. By tilting the first side wall 111 of the housing 110, such as tilting the first side wall 111 downward from the top to the bottom, the water vapor condensing on the first side wall 111 can be guided and directed to a suitable location, such as to the outside of the pot 220. This reduces or prevents the water vapor on the first side wall 111 from dripping into the pot 220 and affecting the cooking quality and cleanliness of the ingredients, thereby greatly improving the safety and user satisfaction of the cooking device 200.

[0073] Furthermore, since the water flow gathered by the water vapor will flow downward from high to low along the inclined first side wall 111 under the action of gravity, by setting the bottom end of the first side wall 111 on the outside of the pot mouth 221 of the cookware 220, the water vapor will gather to the bottom end under the guidance of the inclined first side wall 111, and then drip to the outside of the pot mouth 221 under the action of gravity. In this way, the possibility of the water flow gathered by the water vapor on the first side wall 111 dripping into the inside of the cookware 220 and affecting the cooking quality and the cleanliness of the ingredients can be reduced or avoided, thereby greatly improving the safety and satisfaction of the use of the cooking equipment 200.

[0074] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of the third aspect of the present invention provides a cooking device 200, comprising: a rack 210, and the liquid dispensing device of the second embodiment. Since cooking device 200 includes the liquid dispensing device of any of the aforementioned embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the aforementioned liquid dispensing devices, and will not be further described here.

[0075] The pump head may be installed inside the frame 210 by at least one of a bolt, a plug-in structure, a clamping structure, a mortise and tenon structure, and a magnetic pole structure.

[0076] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting opening 213 is provided on the top of the frame 210 , and the second end of the material pipe extends through the mounting opening 213 to the interior of the frame 210 and is connected to the pump head.

[0077] The shell 110 is connected to the top of the frame 210 and is arranged around the mounting port 213, so that the shell 110 and the top of the frame 210 together form a mounting cavity 130. The first end of the material pipe is located in the mounting cavity 130 and is connected to the feed port 124 of the nozzle 120 in the mounting cavity 130. The second end of the material pipe extends through the mounting port 213 to the interior of the frame 210 and is connected to the pump head.

[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, further, the frame 210 is provided with a water retaining platform 212 on at least a portion of the circumference of the mounting opening 213, and the water retaining platform 212 is located inside the mounting cavity 130. The provision of the water retaining platform 212 effectively blocks the liquid on the top surface of the frame 210 from flowing toward the mounting opening 213, thereby reducing or preventing the liquid on the top surface of the frame 210 from flowing into the interior of the frame 210 through the mounting opening 213 and damaging the pump head and other components inside the frame 210, thereby improving the service life of the pump head and other components inside the frame 210. At the same time, the water retaining platform 212 is located inside the mounting cavity 130, so that after the housing 110 is connected to the frame 210, the water retaining platform 212 will not be exposed to the external environment, thereby improving the neatness and aesthetics of the appearance of the cooking device 200.

[0079] Among them, the height of the water retaining platform 212 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the height of the water retaining platform 212 is 5 mm to 15 mm. The height of the water retaining platform 212 is reasonably set so that the water retaining platform 212 has a good blocking effect on the liquid flowing toward the installation port 213, and at the same time, it can save manufacturing costs. Specifically, the height of the water retaining platform 212 can be 5 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 15 mm, or other sizes.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the water retaining platform 212 further contacts the side wall of the housing 110 to limit the movement of the housing 110 relative to the frame 210. Thus, by contacting the water retaining platform 212 with the side wall of the housing 110, the assembly of the housing 110 and the frame 210 can be pre-positioned, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the assembly of the housing 110 and the frame 210. This achieves the multifunctionality of the water retaining platform 212, namely, the functions of water retaining and limiting, simplifies the structure, and helps save manufacturing costs.

[0081] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present invention, the frame 210 is provided with an annular boss 214 along the mounting port 213, and the annular boss 214 is located in the mounting cavity 130, that is, the annular boss 214 protrudes upward. The setting of the annular boss 214 can prevent liquid from flowing into the mounting port 213, and has a good waterproof and protective effect on the pump head and other components in the accommodating cavity 211, which is beneficial to extending the service life of the pump head and other components in the accommodating cavity 211.

[0082] Furthermore, the water retaining platform 212 is located on the circumferential side of the annular boss 214. The water retaining platform 212 and the annular boss 214 cooperate with each other to provide double blocking for the liquid flowing into the mounting port 213, thereby providing double waterproof protection for the pump head and other components in the accommodating cavity 211, and can further extend the service life of the pump head and other components in the accommodating cavity 211.
