[0028] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments of this utility model and the features thereof can be combined with each other.

[0029] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide 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] The following reference Figures 1 to 6 This invention describes a connector structure, a liquid pump assembly 100, a liquid seasoning module, and a cooking device 300 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The connector structure is applied to the liquid pump assembly 100, the liquid pump assembly 100 is applied to the liquid seasoning module, and the liquid seasoning module is applied to the cooking device 300. The cooking device 300 can be a stir-fry machine or other kitchen equipment, and the cooking device 300 can dispense liquid seasonings through the liquid seasoning module.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention provides a connector structure, including: a liquid storage end with a first connector 131; a liquid outlet end with a second connector 132; and an anti-drip component configured to provide a force to the first connector 131 and / or the second connector 132, so that the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 abut against each other.

[0032] The connector structure provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a liquid storage end, a liquid outlet end, and a leak-proof bottom assembly. The liquid storage end is provided with a first connector 131, and the liquid outlet end is provided with a second connector 132. It can be understood that the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 can be arranged opposite to each other and connected by the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 to realize the pipeline connection between the liquid storage end and the liquid outlet end. Specifically, the second connector 132 is provided at the end of the liquid outlet end that is close to the first connector 131, or the second connector 132 is provided at the end of the liquid outlet end that is connected to the liquid storage end. By applying force to the first connector 131 and / or the second connector 132 through the anti-drip component, the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 are brought into contact, thereby enabling the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 to be tightly and firmly connected together. This restricts the relative movement of the first connector 131 and the second connector 132, reduces the possibility of the connection between the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 becoming loose or falling off, and improves the reliability and firmness of the connection between the first connector 131 and the second connector 132. It can reduce or avoid the risk of leakage caused by the connection between the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 becoming loose due to vibration during transportation or operation of the equipment, thus playing a good role in preventing leakage.

[0033] The anti-drip assembly can achieve this by applying force to the first connector 131, causing the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 to abut against each other; alternatively, it can achieve this by applying force to the second connector 132, or vice versa. This allows for the fulfillment of different structural requirements, placement options, and connection relationships for the anti-drip assembly, making it easy to implement.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the anti-drip assembly includes: a limiting plate 140, a second connector 132 located on the side of the limiting plate 140 facing the liquid storage end and arranged opposite to the first connector 131; and an elastic member 150 abutting against the limiting plate 140 and the second connector 132, the elastic member 150 being configured to provide a force to the second connector 132 close to the first connector 131 so that the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 come into contact.

[0035] In this embodiment, the anti-drip assembly includes a limiting plate 140 and an elastic element 150. The second connector 132 is arranged opposite to the first connector 131 and is located on the side of the limiting plate 140 facing the liquid storage end. The elastic element 150 abuts against the limiting plate 140 and the second connector 132, and provides a force to the second connector 132 close to the first connector 131. This makes the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 come into contact, and effectively restricts the relative movement of the first connector 131 and the second connector 132. This allows the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 to be tightly and firmly connected together, reducing the possibility of the connection between the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 becoming loose or falling off. It can reduce or avoid the risk of leakage caused by the vibration of the equipment during transportation or operation, which may lead to the loose connection between the first connector 131 and the second connector 132. This provides a good anti-leakage effect.

[0036] Among them, the limiting plate 140 has a simple structure and the elastic element 150 is a commonly used component. As a result, the anti-drip component has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and has a low cost, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0037] The elastic element 150 includes a compression spring, with its two ends abutting against the limiting plate 140 and the second connector 132 respectively, to provide a force to the second connector 132 that approaches the first connector 131. The elastic element 150 may also include a spring sheet or other elastic structures; this invention does not specifically limit its application in this regard.

[0038] One end of the elastic member 150 can abut against the limiting plate 140 by connecting to it, or by contacting the limiting plate 140. The other end of the elastic member 150 can abut against the second connector 132 by connecting to it, or by contacting the second connector 132.

[0039] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, both the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 are magnetic connectors, and the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 are connected by magnetic attraction. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the first connector 131 and the second connector 132, improving the assembly efficiency of the connector assembly. Simultaneously, it facilitates the disassembly and separation of the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 for maintenance and replacement, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and saving maintenance costs.

[0040] Furthermore, the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 are connected by suction and cooperate with the anti-drip component, which can realize quick disassembly and quick assembly of the connector structure, making disassembly and maintenance convenient. At the same time, it also plays a good role in preventing liquid leakage, making it convenient for users to use and improving its practicality, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the limiting plate 140 is provided with a limiting hole 141, the second connector 132 includes a connector body 1322 and a guide post 1321, the guide post 1321 passes through the limiting hole 141 and is movable relative to the limiting plate 140 at least axially, the elastic member 150 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 1321, one end of the elastic member 150 is engaged in the limiting hole 141, and the other end of the elastic member 150 abuts against the connector body 1322.

[0042] The connector body 1322 of the second connector 132 can be understood as being used to mate with the first connector 131. Thus, the elastic element 150 can provide a force close to the first connector 131 to the connector body 1322, so that the connector body 1322 of the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 are reliably mated, reducing the possibility of the second connector 132 and the first connector 131 becoming loose or falling off, and playing a good role in preventing leakage.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic element 150 is sleeved around the guide post 1321, and one end of the elastic element 150 is engaged with the limiting hole 141, so that one end of the elastic element 150 abuts against the limiting plate 140 by contacting the limiting plate 140. The other end of the elastic element 150 abuts against the second connector 132 by contacting the connector body 1322.

[0044] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the opening 1411 of the limiting hole 141 is smaller than the inner diameter of the elastic member 150. This allows the limiting plate 140 on the periphery of the limiting hole 141 to reliably abut against the elastic member 150, so that the elastic member 150 can be reliably and stably locked at the limiting hole 141. This improves the reliability and stability of the elastic member 150 abutting against the limiting plate 140 and the second connector 132, thereby ensuring good anti-leakage effect.

[0045] The elastic element 150 includes a compression spring, and the inner diameter of the elastic element 150 can be understood as the inner diameter of the compression spring. When the limiting hole 141 is circular, the opening 1411 of the limiting hole 141 can be understood as the diameter of the limiting hole 141; when the limiting hole 141 is rectangular, the opening 1411 of the limiting hole 141 can be understood as the shorter side dimension of the rectangular hole. It is understood that the limiting hole 141 can also be other shapes of holes.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiment, the limiting hole 141 is provided with a notch 1412 in the circumferential direction, and the guide post 1321 is configured to enter or exit the limiting hole 141 through the notch 1412.

[0047] Since one end of the elastic element 150 is engaged in the limiting hole 141 and the other end of the elastic element 150 abuts against the connector body 1322, and the guide post 1321 can enter or leave the limiting hole 141 through the notch 1412, the second connector 132 can be separated from the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 can be disassembled from the limiting plate 140 through the cooperation of the elastic element 150 and the notch 1412, thereby realizing the disassembly of the connector assembly, facilitating maintenance and replacement, improving maintenance efficiency, and saving replacement costs.

[0048] The limiting hole 141 is provided with a notch 1412 in the circumferential direction. For example, the limiting hole 141 can be a semi-waist-shaped hole with a notch 1412, a semi-elongated hole with a notch 1412, etc.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the relative position of the limiting plate 140 can be fixed. For example, if the connector structure is applied to the liquid seasoning module of the cooking equipment 300, the limiting plate 140 can be fixed to the box structure of the cooking equipment 300 or the mounting bracket of the liquid seasoning module. During the transportation and use of the connector structure, the elastic element 150 abuts between the limiting plate 140 and the connector body 1322 of the second connector 132 to provide a force to the second connector 132 that is close to the first connector 131, so that the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 can reliably contact each other and play a good leak-proof role. When it is necessary to disassemble and separate the first connector 131 and the second connector 132, the second connector 132 is moved toward the limiting plate 140. The guide post 1321 of the second connector 132 passes through the limiting hole 141 and moves away from the first connector 131. After the connector body 1322 of the second connector 132 is separated from the first connector 131, the guide post 1321 of the second connector 132 is moved toward the limiting notch 1412. Since the elastic element 150 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 1321, one end of the elastic element 150 is engaged in the limiting hole 141, and the other end of the elastic element 150 abuts against the connector. Therefore, when the guide post 1321 disengages from the limiting hole 141 through the notch 1412, the second connector 132, along with the elastic element 150 sleeved on the guide post 1321, disengages from the limiting plate 140 and separates from the first connector 131, thereby achieving the disassembly and separation of the second connector 132 from the first connector 131 and the second connector 132 from the limiting plate 140. The first connector 131 and the limiting plate 140 are arranged at intervals, thus enabling the second connector 132, the first connector 131, and the limiting plate 140 to be separated from each other, facilitating maintenance and replacement, improving maintenance efficiency, and saving replacement costs.

[0050] Specifically, the size of the notch 1412 can be less than, equal to, or greater than the size of the opening 1411 of the limiting hole.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the second aspect of this utility model provides a liquid pump assembly 100, including: a pump head 110, a conveying assembly 170, and a connector structure as described above. Since the liquid pump assembly 100 includes the connector structure of any of the aforementioned embodiments, it possesses all the technical effects of the aforementioned connector structures, which will not be elaborated further here.

[0052] The pump head 110 is used to draw liquid from the storage tank and output it through the conveying assembly 170. The pump head 110 is provided between the storage tank and the conveying assembly 170. The connector structure is provided between the storage tank and the pump head 110, and / or between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170.

[0053] In other words, the liquid pump assembly 100 may include one or two connector structures. When the liquid pump assembly 100 includes one connector structure, the connector structure may be located between the storage tank and the pump head 110 for pipeline connection between the storage tank and the pump head 110. Alternatively, the connector structure may be located between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170 for pipeline connection between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170. When the liquid pump assembly 100 includes two connector structures, one connector structure is located between the storage tank and the pump head 110 for pipeline connection between the storage tank and the pump head 110, and the other connector structure is located between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170 for pipeline connection between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170.

[0054] When the connector structure is located between the storage tank and the pump head 110, the storage end can be considered to be located on the storage tank and the outlet end can be considered to be located on the pump head 110. Alternatively, it can be understood that the first connector 131 of the connector structure is connected to the storage tank and the second connector 132 of the connector structure is connected to the pump head 110. By connecting the first connector 131 and the second connector 132, the storage tank and the pump head 110 can be connected in pipeline.

[0055] When the connector structure is located between the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170, the liquid storage end can be considered to be located on the pump head 110 and the liquid storage end can be considered to be located on the conveying assembly 170. Alternatively, it can be understood that the first connector 131 of the connector structure is connected to the pump head 110 and the second connector 132 of the connector structure is connected to the conveying assembly 170. By connecting the first connector 131 and the second connector 132, the pump head 110 and the conveying assembly 170 can be connected in pipeline.

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the liquid pump assembly 100 further includes a drive unit 120, which is separately disposed from the pump head 110 but poweredly connected. The drive unit 120 can drive the pump head 110 to operate, thereby achieving liquid delivery.

[0057] In this design, the drive unit 120 and the pump head 110 are separately configured, facilitating the disassembly and separation of the drive unit 120 and the pump head 110 for separate maintenance. Compared to related technologies where the drive unit and pump head are integrated, this design simplifies maintenance and reduces or avoids the need to replace the entire drive unit and pump head due to a fault. In this embodiment, the faulty pump head 110 or the faulty drive unit 120 can be replaced individually after disassembly, saving on maintenance and replacement costs. Furthermore, this design allows users to directly replace the pump head 110 themselves after damage, eliminating the need for on-site after-sales service, simplifying operations and reducing after-sales costs.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the liquid pump assembly 100 further includes: a support plate 160, a pump head 110 and a drive unit 120 arranged in pairs on both sides of the support plate 160, the pump head 110 being detachably connected to the support plate 160, the drive unit 120 being detachably connected to the support plate 160, and the output shaft 122 of the drive unit 120 passing through the support plate 160 and being poweredly connected to the pump head 110.

[0059] The support plate 160 provides good support for the pump head 110 and the drive unit 120. The pump head 110 and the drive unit 120 are detachably connected to the support plate 160, facilitating disassembly and separation for maintenance and replacement. The output shaft 122 of the drive unit 120 passes through the support plate 160 and is powered by the pump head 110, enabling the drive unit 120 to drive the pump head 110. This design is simple, easy to implement, convenient to assemble and disassemble, and low in cost. The drive unit 120 may include a housing 121. The output shaft 122 of the drive unit 120 passes through the support plate 160 and is powered by the pump head 110. The housing 121 of the drive unit 120 is then connected to the support plate 160 to fix the drive unit 120 to the support plate 160.

[0060] The pump head 110 and the support plate 160 can be detachably connected in at least one of the following ways: bolt structure, plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, magnetic structure, and tenon and mortise structure. The drive unit 120 and the support plate 160 can be detachably connected in at least one of the following ways: bolt structure, plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, magnetic structure, and tenon and mortise structure.

[0061] The support plate 160 can be an integral structure, such as a single unit. The pump head 110 and the drive unit 120 can be installed on the support plate 160 respectively. In subsequent use, depending on the fault situation, the pump head 110 can be selectively disassembled from the support plate 160 for repair or replacement, and / or the drive unit 120 can be disassembled from the support plate 160 for repair or replacement.

[0062] The support plate 160 is a detachable, split structure. For example, the support plate 160 may include a detachably connected first support plate and a second support plate. The pump head 110 is detachably connected to the first support plate, and the drive unit 120 is detachably connected to the second support plate. By connecting the first support plate on which the pump head 110 is mounted and the second support plate on which the drive unit 120 is mounted, the pump head 110 and the drive unit 120 can be assembled. After disassembling the first support plate on which the pump head 110 is mounted and the second support plate on which the drive unit 120 is mounted, the pump head 110 and the drive unit 120 can be easily repaired or replaced. It is understood that in some examples, even with the first support plate and the second support plate connected, the pump head 110 can be disassembled from the first support plate for repair or replacement, and the drive unit 120 can be disassembled from the second support plate for repair or replacement.

[0063] The first support plate 160 and the second support plate 160 can be detachably connected in at least one of the following ways: bolt structure, plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, magnetic structure, and tenon and mortise structure.

[0064] A third aspect of this utility model provides a liquid seasoning module, including: a storage tank and a liquid pump assembly 100 as described in any of the preceding embodiments, with a pump head 110 connected to the storage tank. Since the liquid seasoning module includes the liquid pump assembly 100 of any of the foregoing embodiments, it possesses all the technical effects of the aforementioned liquid pump assembly 100, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0065] The storage tank is used to hold liquid, and the pump head 110 is connected to the storage tank to transport the liquid in the storage tank.

[0066] like Figure 3As shown in the fourth aspect of this utility model, a cooking device 300 is provided, including: a first functional module and a liquid seasoning module of any of the foregoing embodiments. The liquid seasoning module is mounted on the first functional module, and the first functional module is provided with a liquid outlet 311. The conveying assembly 170 is connected to the liquid outlet 311. Since the cooking device 300 includes the liquid seasoning module of any of the foregoing embodiments, it has all the technical effects of the aforementioned liquid seasoning module, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] The liquid seasoning module can be installed on the first functional module through a detachable connection scheme. For example, if the first functional module includes a container, the liquid seasoning module can be installed on the container of the first functional module through at least one of the following structures: bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, magnetic structure, and tenon and mortise structure.

[0068] In this system, the drive unit 120 of the liquid seasoning module operates, and through the pump head 110, the liquid seasoning contained in the storage tank is conveyed and dispensed through the conveying assembly 170 and the liquid outlet 311. If the cooking equipment 300 also includes a pot, the liquid seasoning module can dispense the liquid seasoning from the liquid outlet 311 into the pot to achieve the dispensing of liquid seasoning.

[0069] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the cooking device 300 further includes: an intermediate component 320; a low-voltage compartment module 310 and a support compartment module 360, which are detachably connected to the intermediate component 320 and distributed on the exterior of opposite sides of the intermediate component 320; and a seasoning compartment module 380, which is mounted above the low-voltage compartment module 310 and the support compartment module 360.

[0070] In this embodiment, the support compartment module 360 ​​and the low-voltage compartment module 310 are detachably connected to the exterior of opposite sides of the intermediate component 320. For example, the support compartment module 360 ​​is connected to the outside of the left side wall 321, and the low-voltage compartment module 310 is connected to the outside of the right side wall 321. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the support compartment module 360 ​​from the left side wall 321 and the low-voltage compartment module 310 from the right side wall 321, making maintenance and component replacement easier. It is understood that the support compartment module 360 ​​can also be connected to the outside of the right side wall 321, and the low-voltage compartment module 310 can be connected to the outside of the left side wall 321.

[0071] The seasoning compartment module 380 is mounted above the support compartment module 360 ​​and the low-voltage compartment module 310. The seasoning compartment module 380 can be detachably connected to the top of the support compartment module 360 ​​and the low-voltage compartment module 310 to facilitate disassembly and assembly, and to make maintenance and replacement easier.

[0072] Among them, the low-voltage compartment module 310 and / or the seasoning compartment module 380 are configured as the first functional modules, that is, the liquid outlet 311 can be arranged on the compartment body of the low-voltage compartment module 310, and / or the liquid outlet 311 can be arranged on the compartment body of the seasoning compartment module 380.

[0073] The support chamber module 360 ​​includes a first chamber body 3101, and a knob, an emergency stop switch, and a spray gun mounted on the first chamber body 3101. It is understood that the support chamber module 360 ​​does not have a control board; instead, as a structural component, it provides mounting positions for the knob, emergency stop switch, and spray gun.

[0074] The low-voltage compartment module 310 includes a third compartment. Its functional components include a water system component 313, a GUI module 314, a recognition component 315, an indicator light 316, a voice prompt component 317, a tilting device drive component 318, and an antenna 319, all installed on the third compartment. In other words, the low-voltage compartment module 310 includes a low-voltage module and its components.

[0075] The seasoning bin module 380 includes a fourth bin, and its functional components include a solid seasoning component and a liquid seasoning component installed on the fourth bin. The seasoning bin module 380 is used to feed ingredients into the pot of the drum module 350, such as using the solid seasoning component to feed solid seasonings and the liquid seasoning component to feed liquid seasonings.

[0076] Furthermore, the seasoning compartment module 380 and the support compartment module 360 ​​are connected by at least one of the following methods: bolted connection, snap-fit ​​connection, plug-in connection, and mortise and tenon joint connection. The seasoning compartment module 380 and the low-voltage compartment module 310 are connected by at least one of the following methods: bolted connection, snap-fit ​​connection, plug-in connection, and mortise and tenon joint connection.

[0077] Furthermore, grooves or protrusions are provided on the outer walls of the support compartment module 360 ​​and the low-voltage compartment module 310 away from each other. Since the support compartment module 360 ​​and the low-voltage compartment module 310 are distributed outside the two side walls 321 of the intermediate component 320, the grooves or protrusions on their outer walls allow the user to easily move or transport them by holding the grooves or protrusions, facilitating user operation. In other words, the grooves or protrusions act as handles, making it convenient for the user to move them. Specifically, the grooves or protrusions on the support compartment module 360 ​​are located on the outer wall of the first compartment body 3101 away from the low-voltage compartment module 310, and the grooves or protrusions on the low-voltage compartment module 310 are located on the outer wall of the first compartment body 3101 away from the support compartment module 360. Specifically, the low-voltage compartment module 310 is provided with a first groove 3102 as a handle, and the number of first grooves 3102 can be one or more. The support compartment module 360 ​​is provided with a second groove as a handle position, and the number of the second grooves can be one or more.

[0078] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the cooking device 300 further includes a second functional module 340 detachably connected to the intermediate component 320. The second functional module 340 includes a second control board and functional components that are electrically connected. The low-voltage compartment module 310 is provided with a first control board 312. The first control board 312 and multiple second control boards are communicatively connected. The first control board 312 is configured as a main control board.

[0079] In other words, the first control board 312 of the low-voltage compartment module 310, acting as the main control board, can uniformly control the second control board of the second functional module 340. This enables unified control of all functional modules within the entire cooking equipment 300, achieving their respective functions. Simultaneously, using the first control board 312 of the low-voltage compartment module 310 to control the second control board of the second functional module 340 facilitates testing and experimentation of each second functional module 340, thereby improving the equipment's factory pass rate.

[0080] Meanwhile, since the second functional module 340 includes an electrically connected second control board and functional components, it can be considered an independent functional module. The second control board can control the functional components to achieve predetermined functions, including but not limited to the following: rotation of the pot body, heating of the pot body, rotation of the stirring component, opening and closing of the switch, opening and closing of the indicator light 316, opening and closing of the voice prompt component 317, opening and closing of the circuit, etc. In other words, because the second functional module 340 is equipped with a second control board and functional modules, each second functional module 340 needs an external power supply data communication interface to communicate with the second control board, which enables the testing and detection of each second functional module 340. For example, by communicating with the second control board of the second functional module 340 to achieve data communication interaction, the corresponding functional components can be debugged and tested. This facilitates the individual debugging and testing of each second functional module 340. Compared with related technologies that require assembling each second functional module 340 and then testing the whole machine on the assembly line, this method simplifies the operation of disassembling and assembling the whole machine to rectify problematic second functional modules 340. It greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps, facilitates rectification, and is easy to operate. This method is conducive to improving the rectification efficiency of each second functional module 340 and also helps to improve the pass rate of seasoning components on the assembly line, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0081] Understandably, due to the communication connection between the first control board 312 and multiple second control boards, during the assembly of the cooking equipment 300, the first control board 312 and the second control boards, which are interconnected, can be used to debug and test the corresponding second functional modules 340. For example, during the assembly process, if the second control board of a portion of the second functional modules 340 (such as one or two second functional modules 340) installed on the intermediate component 320 can communicate with the first control board 312, then the portion of the second functional modules 340 (such as one or two second functional modules 340) can be debugged and tested. If a fault is found, the portion of the second functional modules 340 (such as one or two second functional modules 340) can be disassembled and rectified in a timely manner. Compared with the related technology of assembling each second functional module and then testing the whole machine on the assembly line, this simplifies the operation of disassembling and assembling the whole machine to rectify the problematic second functional modules 340, greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly steps, facilitates rectification, and is easy to operate. This is conducive to improving the rectification efficiency of each second functional module 340 and improving the pass rate of functional modules on the assembly line, thereby improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0082] In other words, through the communication connection between the first control board 312 and the second control board, the weak current compartment module 310 and the second functional module 340 can be jointly controlled, such as as a whole. Each second functional module 340 is equipped with a separate second control board, which can communicate with other interfaces to achieve individual control. Thus, each second functional module 340 can achieve different control methods, such as overall control and individual control, which greatly improves the convenience of functional module debugging and testing.

[0083] Furthermore, the second functional module 340 and the intermediate component 320 can be detachably connected in at least one of the following ways, such as threaded structure, plug-in structure, snap-fit ​​structure, tenon and mortise structure, magnetic structure, etc.

[0084] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the intermediate component 320 is configured as a cavity structure with at least a partial opening. The two side walls 321 of the cavity structure are coaxially provided with an installation structure 322. The weak current compartment module 310 and the support compartment module 360 ​​are connected to the side walls 321. The second functional module 340 includes a roller module 350. The roller module 350 includes a rotating shaft 351. After the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 are at least partially accommodated in the installation structure 322, the rotating shafts 351 are flipped and connected to the side walls 321 through the installation structure 322.

[0085] The rotating shafts 351 of the roller module 350 are located on opposite sides of the roller module 350, that is, there is a rotating shaft 351 on each side of the roller module 350. The two rotating shafts 351 are connected to the intermediate component 320 respectively, so that the intermediate component 320 can provide good and stable support for the roller module 350.

[0086] In this embodiment, the intermediate component 320 is configured as a cavity structure with at least a partial opening. The opening provides an operating space for the assembly of the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320. The cavity structure provides a accommodating space and a movement space for the roller module 350, so that the roller module 350 can be accommodated in the cavity structure and move within the cavity structure after being connected to the intermediate component 320. Mounting structures 322 are coaxially arranged on the two side walls 321 of the cavity structure, that is, each side wall 321 of the cavity structure has a mounting structure 322, and the mounting structures 322 on the two side walls 321 are coaxially arranged. At least a portion of the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 are accommodated within the mounting structures 322. It can be understood that the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 are respectively accommodated within the mounting structures 322 on the two side walls 321. Specifically, during the assembly process of the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320, the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 can be simultaneously accommodated within the mounting structures 322 on the two side walls 321, and then the rotating shafts 351 of the roller module 350 are flipped and connected to the intermediate component 320 through the mounting structures 322, thereby realizing the flipped connection between the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320. It can be understood that, as Figure 6 As shown, the roller module 350 may also include a mating component. When the rotating shaft 351 of the roller module 350 is accommodated in the mounting structure 322 of the intermediate component 320, the rotating shaft 351 and the intermediate component 320 are connected by the mating component, thereby realizing the flip connection between the rotating shaft 351 and the intermediate component 320. The mating component can be a bearing or other rotating component.

[0087] In other words, during the assembly of the intermediate component 320 with the roller module 350, the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 can be simultaneously accommodated within the mounting structure 322 of the intermediate component 320. This means the intermediate component 320 can simultaneously support both rotating shafts 351. Then, mating parts can be used to achieve a flip-connection between the rotating shafts 351 and the intermediate component 320, thus realizing a flip-connection between the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320. Compared to related technologies where the two rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module need to be assembled with the box structures on both sides sequentially, this assembly method reduces the assembly difficulty of the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces overall cost. Furthermore, after the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320 are assembled, the coaxiality of the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 is improved, enhancing the stability of the roller module 350's flip-movement relative to the intermediate component 320, reducing damage to the roller module 350 and other structures of the cooking equipment 300, and contributing to extending the overall reliability of the cooking equipment 300.

[0088] The opening of the intermediate component 320 can be located at the top, and / or front, and / or rear of the intermediate component 320 to meet the needs of different structures of the intermediate component 320. Specifically, the intermediate component 320 is U-shaped. The U-shaped intermediate component 320 has more openings, which provides ample installation space for the roller module 350 and helps to improve the assembly efficiency of the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320.

[0089] As shown in Figure 4, the mounting structure 322 can be positioned close to the opening to facilitate the insertion of the rotating shaft 351 of the roller module 350 into the mounting structure 322. Furthermore, the mounting structure 322 is connected to the opening so that the rotating shaft 351 of the roller module 350 can be inserted into the mounting structure 322. Specifically, the mounting structure 322 includes a notch structure, which can be understood as a structure with a circumferential notch. The notch of the notch structure is connected to the opening of the cavity structure. Thus, the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 can be simultaneously inserted into the notch structure, allowing the intermediate component 320 to simultaneously support the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350 during assembly of the roller module 350 and the intermediate component 320.

[0090] The intermediate component 320 is a die-cast part. If the intermediate component 320 is integrally formed by die casting, compared to the need for multiple sheet metal welds in related technologies, the welding operation is simplified, assembly and manufacturing are facilitated, production efficiency is improved, and costs are saved. Simultaneously, it helps improve the coaxiality of the mounting structures 322 on the two side walls 321, thereby improving the coaxiality of the rotating shafts 351 on both sides of the roller module 350. Specifically, the intermediate component 320 can be manufactured using processes such as low-pressure die casting, gravity casting, high-pressure die casting, and lost-wax casting.

[0091] like Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the drum module 350 includes a barrel body and a pot body located inside the barrel body. The functional components of the drum module 350 include a stirring component and / or a heating component. The stirring component is installed between the barrel body and the pot body and extends into the pot body, while the heating component is installed between the barrel body and the pot body to heat the pot body. It is understood that the control board of the drum module 350 is connected to the stirring component to control the stirring component, and / or the control board of the drum module 350 is connected to the heating component to control the heating component.

[0092] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the intermediate component 320 includes a rear wall 323 located at the rear and connecting two side walls 321. The second functional module 340 also includes a high-voltage compartment module 370 connected to the outside of the rear wall 323. The high-voltage compartment module 370, the low-voltage compartment module 310, and the support compartment module 360 ​​together form a box structure. This arrangement utilizes the support compartment module 360, the low-voltage compartment module 310, the high-voltage compartment module 370, and the intermediate component 320 to assemble the box structure by splicing. Compared with the related technology of assembling the box structure by welding, this reduces welding processes, lowers welding difficulty and production difficulty, improves production efficiency, reduces the scrap rate of sheet metal welded box structures, and helps improve the reliability of the whole machine.

[0093] In some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the high-voltage compartment module 370 includes a second compartment and a junction box located within the second compartment. The functional components of the high-voltage compartment module 370 include an AC contactor, a filter board, a switching power supply, and a mechanism. The knob and emergency stop switch of the support compartment module 360 ​​are electrically connected to the junction box via a second connecting line. In other words, the high-voltage compartment module 370 includes high-voltage modules such as an AC contactor, a filter board, a switching power supply, and a mechanism. The electrical connection between the junction box of the high-voltage compartment module 370 and the knob and emergency stop switch of the support compartment module 360 ​​ensures a short conduit path between the knob / emergency stop switch and the junction box, with minimal or no intersecting connections, improving the product's assemblability, maintainability, efficiency, and reducing overall costs.

[0094] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the second functional module 340 further includes a food feeding module 390, which is connected to the top of the low-voltage compartment module 310 and located below the seasoning compartment module 380. The food feeding module 390 is used for placing food ingredients and can feed food ingredients into the pot of the drum module 350. It is understood that the food feeding module 390 is detachably connected to the low-voltage compartment module 310 for easy disassembly and assembly, and for convenient maintenance and replacement.

[0095] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by this utility model, the cooking device 300 further includes a workbench 330 connected to the bottom of the intermediate component 320, with the low-voltage compartment module 310, support compartment module 360, and high-voltage compartment module 370 located above the workbench 330. That is, the workbench 330 is located at the bottom of the intermediate component 320. For example, the intermediate component 320 includes a bottom wall connecting two side walls 321 and located at the bottom, with the bottom wall connected to the top of the workbench 330, so that the workbench 330 provides good support for the intermediate component 320 and the various modules connected to it. It is understood that the workbench 330 and the intermediate component 320 are detachably connected for easy disassembly and assembly, and for convenient maintenance and parts replacement. Specifically, the workbench 330 is a structural component, mainly used to support the entire machine and place oil drums, toolboxes, etc.
