Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cooking equipment, and more particularly to a weighing component, an intelligent feeding device, and a cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] Stir-frying is one of the more complex cooking methods. Therefore, automatic stir-fry machines, as a new type of highly intelligent cooking equipment, have broad application prospects in various settings, large and small, such as restaurants, canteens, and homes.

[0003] Adding seasonings is an essential step in cooking. Existing seasoning dispenser components can automatically dispense seasonings during cooking without human intervention. To achieve the best flavor from cooked ingredients, one of the key elements is precisely controlling the amount of seasoning added. Therefore, it is necessary to detect the amount of seasoning added as accurately as possible, requiring a weighing sensor to be installed on the seasoning dispenser. However, since the weighing sensor and its mounting area may deform, the accuracy of the weighing can be affected. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the weighing component is applied to the intelligent feeding device of cooking equipment. The weighing component includes at least one weighing unit 100. Each weighing unit 100 includes a base 110, a weighing sensor 120, a support member 130, a material box rack, and a limiting member 150.

[0036] The base 110 has a mounting hole 111, which mates with the support member 130.

[0037] The load cell 120 is disposed on the lower surface of the base 110; the support member 130 is inserted through the mounting hole 111 and protrudes from the base 110, and the support member 130 is located at the sensing position of the load cell 120.

[0038] The material box rack includes a base plate 141, and the base plate 141, support member 130 and weighing sensor 120 are fixedly connected.

[0042] A weighing circuit board 145 is provided on the rear wall 142 of the base, and the weighing circuit board 145 is electrically connected to the weighing sensor. In one embodiment, a plurality of shock-absorbing members 146 are also provided on the lower surface of the base 110. In one embodiment, a plurality of shock-absorbing members 21 are also provided on the rear wall of the base 110.

[0043] In one embodiment, the support member 130 may further include a mounting groove 132, which is disposed at the bottom of the support member 130. The mounting groove 132 cooperates with one end of the weighing sensor 120, that is, one end of the weighing sensor 120 is disposed in the mounting groove 132.

[0044] The base 110 may also include a load cell holder 112, which may be a semi-enclosed enclosure. The load cell holder 112 cooperates with the other end of the load cell 120, that is, the other end of the load cell 120 is locked in the load cell holder 112.

[0045] The base 110 provided in this application embodiment can be an integral structure. The lower surface of the base 110 is set as a frame structure, and the weighing sensor 120 of each weighing unit is set in the same frame structure.
