[0151] The following description provides numerous specific details to offer a more thorough understanding of this application. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this application can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described to avoid confusion with this application.

[0152] To fully understand this application, a detailed description will be provided in the following description. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. Obviously, the implementation of the embodiments of this application is not limited to the specific details familiar to those skilled in the art. Preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this application may have other embodiments.

[0153] The ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” used in this application are merely identifiers and have no other meaning, such as a specific order. Furthermore, for example, the term “first component” does not imply the existence of a “second component,” and the term “second component” does not imply the existence of a “first component.” The use of words such as “first,” “second,” and “third” does not indicate any order and can be interpreted as names.

[0154] It should be noted that the terms “upper,” “lower,” “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “inner,” “outer,” and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be limiting.

[0155] In this document, terms such as “equal” and “same” are not strict mathematical and / or geometric limitations, but also include errors that are understandable to those skilled in the art and permissible in manufacturing or use.

[0156] Unless otherwise stated, the numerical ranges in this document include not only the entire range within its two endpoints, but also the subranges contained therein.

[0157] This application discloses a storage container and a cooking device having the storage container. Specifically, the storage container is used to store solid food materials, such as grains. The cooking device is an automated cooking device capable of automatically adding rice and water and cooking.

[0158] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0159] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the cooking equipment 100 according to this application includes a cooking appliance 10, a storage container 11, a clean water tank 73, and a wastewater tank 74. The cooking appliance 10 is used to perform cooking functions, such as cooking rice or porridge. The storage container 11 is used to store solid food materials, such as rice, beans, and other grains. The storage container 11 can employ temperature and humidity control measures to preserve the food. The clean water tank 73 stores clean water for cooking and washing. The wastewater tank 74 stores wastewater after washing.

[0160] Specifically, the cooking appliance 10 includes, for example, a pot body 22 and a lid 21. The pot body 22 is used to heat solid food ingredients, and the lid 21 is used to close the pot body 22. A removable inner pot 26 is disposed within the pot body 22, and the internal space of the inner pot 26 forms a cooking cavity 27 for holding food ingredients. A heating device 28 is also provided in the pot body 22, for example, located below the inner pot 26, to heat the inner pot 26 and cook the food. The lid 21 is pivotally connected to the pot body 22 at the rear, for example, allowing the front of the lid 21 to rotate upwards to open the pot body 22, which is convenient for user operation.

[0161] It should be noted that the directions "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," and "right" in this application refer to the directions defined by the cooking device 100 in its normal placement state with the lid 21 covering the pot body 22. The terms "front" and "back" as used herein are based on the user's position when using the cooking device 100. Specifically, the direction in which the cooking device 100 faces the user is defined as "front," and the opposite direction is defined as "back."

[0162] To facilitate the placement and removal of the inner pot 26, a washing chamber 24 is located within the lid 21. The internal space of the washing chamber 24 forms a washing cavity 25 for cleaning solid materials. A washing device 23 is typically installed in the washing chamber 24. When the lid 21 closes the pot body 22, the cooking device 100 can control the connection between the washing cavity 25 and the cooking cavity 27.

[0163] The washing chamber 25 is connected to the clean water tank 73 via a clean water pipe (not shown). Clean water from the clean water tank 73 is supplied to the washing chamber 25 via the clean water pipe using a water supply device (e.g., a water pump). The washing chamber 25 is connected to the wastewater tank 74 via a wastewater pipe 79, thereby discharging the wastewater after washing into the wastewater tank 74 via the wastewater pipe.

[0164] The storage container 11 includes a storage bin 14 for storing solid food materials, and the internal space of the storage bin 14 is a storage chamber 15. The storage chamber 15 is connected to the washing chamber 25 via a feeding pipe. The cooking equipment 100 also includes, for example, a feeding device (not shown) for feeding the solid food materials in the storage chamber 15 into the washing chamber 25 via the feeding pipe. The feeding device may be configured as, for example, an air extraction device (e.g., a fan, a pump), using air pressure to transfer the materials.

[0165] The cooking appliance 100 may also include a human-machine interface device (not shown) for implementing human-machine interaction functions. The human-machine interface device may output information (such as the working status of the cooking appliance 100, prompts, messages, etc.) through components such as indicator lights, displays, and speakers, and acquire user commands and allow the user to set cooking parameters through components such as buttons, keypads, touch screens, and microphones.

[0166] Understandably, the cooking equipment 100 includes a control device, and the electrical control components of the cooking equipment 100 (such as the heating device 28, water pump, fan, etc.) all operate under the control of the control device.

[0167] The workflow of cooking equipment 100 typically includes the following steps:

[0168] Step 1: Adding ingredients. The cooking equipment 100 uses the adding device and feeding pipe to transport a certain amount of ingredients from the storage chamber 15 to the washing chamber 25, and then stops the adding device.

[0169] The second step is washing the ingredients. The water pump is controlled to add a certain amount of clean water to the washing chamber 25, and then the washing device 23 in the washing chamber 25 is driven to work (e.g., rotate) to wash the ingredients.

[0170] Step 3: Drainage. After the washing process is completed, the washing device 23 is stopped, and the wastewater is discharged from the sewage pipe into the sewage tank 74.

[0171] Step 4: Discharge. After washing and draining, connect the washing chamber 25 to the cooking chamber 27, allowing the ingredients in the washing chamber 25 to fall into the cooking chamber 27 by their own weight.

[0172] Because the washing chamber 25 has a limited volume, the control device calculates the number of feeding cycles based on the amount of food set by the user, and repeats steps one to four above until the amount of food in the cooking chamber 27 reaches the user's required amount. When using an exhaust device for feeding, under stable airflow conditions, the amount of food fed is basically proportional to the exhaust time.

[0173] Step 5: Add water. Based on the cooking function set by the user, calculate the amount of water needed for cooking and control the water adding device to add water to the cooking chamber 27 through the washing chamber 25.

[0174] Step 6: Cooking. Control the heating device 28 according to the cooking program to complete the cooking process.

[0175] Understandably, all of the above steps are performed when the lid 21 closes the pot body 22. Before adding ingredients in the first step, the user first sets the cooking function (e.g., cooking rice, cooking porridge) and cooking parameters (e.g., amount of rice, texture) through the human-computer interaction device. Then, the control device controls each component to work according to the user's settings.

[0176] In some embodiments not shown in this application, the cooking device 100 uses pre-washed ingredients, such as pre-rinsed rice, thus eliminating the need for a washing tank 24 in the cooking appliance 10. The clean water in the clean water tank 73 is used only for cooking and is directly fed into the cooking chamber 27. The aforementioned working steps also eliminate the processes of washing, draining, and unloading. The cooking device 100 may also omit the wastewater tank 74.

[0177] In this application, the washing chamber 25 and the cooking chamber 27 are both places used for processing solid food materials, and are also referred to as processing chambers. The washing bin 24 and the inner pot 26 are corresponding processing bins. The washing device 23 can be understood as the processing device in the washing bin 24. The processing bin may also include, for example, a grinding bin for grinding and crushing food materials, and the processing device in the grinding bin may be, for example, a crushing device.

[0178] More broadly, the processing chamber is also a type of container used for at least temporary storage of food materials. Correspondingly, the washing chamber 24 and the inner pot 26 are containers used for at least temporary storage of food materials. The containers can be used for processing food materials, i.e., as processing chambers; or they can be used only for temporary storage of food materials, i.e., as transfer chambers. In the illustrated embodiment, the cooking equipment 100 is described using the washing chamber for washing food materials as an example. However, the containers can also be used for other functions.

[0179] like Figure 3As shown, the feeding conduit includes a first conduit assembly 30 located in the storage container 11 and a second conduit assembly 40 located in the cooking appliance 10. The second conduit assembly 40 is disposed in the cover 21 to facilitate connection with the washing chamber 25 in the cover 21. Each of the conduit assemblies 30 and 40 provides at least one conduit segment, each segment having openings at both ends connected by internal channels (cavities), all of which form the feeding conduit.

[0180] The first conduit assembly 30 includes a first end 31 and a second end 32 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 31 of the first conduit assembly is used to communicate with the storage chamber 15, and the second end 32 of the first conduit assembly is used to connect with the second conduit assembly 40. The second conduit assembly 40 includes a first end 41 and a second end 42 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 41 of the second conduit assembly is used to connect with the second end 32 of the first conduit assembly, and the second end 42 of the second conduit assembly is used to communicate with a processing chamber (e.g., a washing chamber 25) (e.g., an opening in the processing chamber).

[0181] The pipe assemblies 30 and 40 together form a feeding pipe, the internal channels of which allow solid food materials to pass through. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the feeding channel is 40 mm². 2 Up to 800mm 2 In other words, the cross-sectional area of ​​the channel through which the solid material passes in the first conduit assembly 30 is 40 mm. 2 Up to 800mm 2 The cross-sectional area of ​​the channel for passing solid material in the second pipe assembly 40 is 40 mm. 2 Up to 800mm 2 The inner diameter of the feeding channel can be consistent or inconsistent (e.g., depending on space constraints). The cross-sectional shape of the feeding channel can be triangular, circular, square, rectangular, elliptical, polygonal, etc.

[0182] When the feeding device is configured as an air extraction device, the air extraction device is used to extract air from the opening at the second end 42 of the second pipe assembly, for example, from the washing chamber 24, or from the air outlet duct 80 connected to the washing chamber 25, thereby applying air force (negative pressure) to the second pipe assembly 40. Of course, the cooking equipment 100 can also use other methods to feed the ingredients.

[0183] To save on piping, the cooking appliance 10 and the storage container 11 are arranged adjacent to each other, for example, they are arranged adjacent to each other in a left-right direction (DW). Furthermore, to facilitate pipe connection, the second end 32 of the first pipe assembly opens into the side of the storage container 11 facing the cooking appliance 10. Figure 2As shown, the outer casing 18 of the storage container has a first opening 13 on the side facing the cooking appliance 10. The second end 32 of the first pipe assembly opens into the first opening 13, allowing it to connect to the second pipe assembly 40. Furthermore, the storage compartment 14 is located inside the storage container 11 on the side away from the cooking appliance 10, while the first pipe assembly 30 is located inside the storage container 11 on the side closer to the cooking appliance 10, minimizing the length of the first pipe assembly 30. Similarly, the first end 41 of the second pipe assembly opens into the cooking appliance 10 on the side facing the storage container 11.

[0184] To facilitate cleaning of the storage container 11, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cooking device 100 is designed to integrate a portion of the storage bin 14 and a portion of the first pipe assembly 30 into the dispensing device 103, which is detachable from the storage container 11.

[0185] Specifically, the storage bin 14 is divided into a first storage bin 14A and a diversion bin 96. The first storage bin 14A is disposed within the storage container housing 18. The diversion bin 96 is detachably connected to the first storage bin 14A so that the internal space of the diversion bin 96 is used to communicate with the internal space of the first storage bin 14A. That is, the storage chamber 15 is jointly formed by the internal space of the first storage bin 14A and the internal space of the diversion bin 96. The first end 31 of the first pipe assembly is constructed as a first pipe, also referred to as the first pipe 31. The first pipe 31 is connected to the wall of the diversion bin 96, that is, the pipe wall of the first pipe 31 is connected to the wall of the diversion bin. The first pipe 31 has opposite ends, a first end 31A and a second end 31B. The opening of the first end 31A of the first pipe 31 is located in the diversion bin 96, and the opening of the second end 31B of the first pipe 31 is used to communicate with the processing chamber (e.g., the washing chamber 25).

[0186] The discharging device 103 includes a flow-in chamber 96 and a first pipe 31 connected together, and is detachably connected to the first storage chamber 14A. Thus, the cooking appliance 100 integrates the interconnected portion of the storage chamber 14 and the feeding pipe, making it detachable for easy cleaning of the storage space and the feeding pipe by the user. The flow-in chamber 96 can be formed as a single component with the first pipe 31, for example, by injection molding, welding, or bonding; or, the two can be connected by fasteners, snap-fits, or other means. When the discharging device 103 is connected to the first storage chamber 14A, the discharging device 103 is located within the storage container housing 18 (hidden within the housing 18).

[0187] Understandably, the diversion chamber 96 is the part of the storage chamber 14 used for discharging material. Preferably, the diversion chamber 96 is located at the bottom of the storage chamber 14, so that the food can be discharged by gravity. For example, the diversion chamber 96 is detachably connected to the bottom of the first storage chamber 14A, generally forming a configuration where the first storage chamber 14A is above and the diversion chamber 96 is below. Furthermore, the diversion chamber 96 can be located at the bottom of the entire storage device 11, so that the storage cavity 15 makes full use of the height of the storage device 11 and can have the largest possible volume. In order to connect to the relatively high washing cavity 25, the first pipe assembly 30 extends substantially in the vertical direction DH. The first pipe 31 extends in the vertical direction DH. The first end 31A of the first pipe is the lower end of the first pipe 31, and the second end 31B of the first pipe is the upper end of the first pipe 31.

[0188] The discharge device 103 can be detached from the bottom of the storage container 11, from the side of the storage container 11, or from inside the storage container 11. The discharge device 103 can be connected to the first storage bin 14A by means of snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or other methods. The outer shell 18 of the storage container can provide at least a portion of the bin wall of the first storage bin 14A.

[0189] For example, the discharge device 103 is detached from the bottom of the storage container 11. When disassembly is required, it is pulled directly from the bottom of the storage container 11; when assembly is required, it is vertically inserted from the bottom of the storage container 11. For example, a first guide is provided inside the storage container 11 (e.g., the inner surface of the storage container housing 18), and a second guide is provided for the discharge device 103. The first guide connects to the second guide to guide the movement of the discharge device during installation. The first guide and the second guide are, for example, a mating sliding pair.

[0190] Once the discharging device 103 is installed in place, it is in the working position. The discharging device 103 and / or the storage container 11 have magnetic components inside, which stabilize the discharging device 103 in the working position after assembly. Alternatively, the discharging device 103 can be stabilized in its working position by a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For example, the discharging device 103 may have a latch, and the storage container housing 18 may have a push-button hook. After the discharging device 103 is inserted into the storage container housing 18, its latch engages and locks with the hook. When it is necessary to disassemble the discharging device 103, the user presses the hook on the outside of the storage container housing 18 to unlock the latch.

[0191] like Figure 5As shown, the inlet of the flow chamber 96 faces upward to receive food ingredients. The walls of the flow chamber 96 include a bottom wall 16A and a guide wall 17. The guide wall 17 is part of the side wall of the flow chamber 96 and is detachably connected to the wall of the first storage chamber 14A. Preferably, the lower end of the guide wall 17 is closer to the axis of the first pipe 31 than the upper end of the guide wall 17, thereby guiding the food ingredients to the vicinity of the first end 31A of the first pipe (e.g., directly below). Preferably, in a cross-section of the storage device 11 passing through the axis of the first pipe 31, the guide wall 17 is an oblique line with an angle α of 10 to 80 degrees to the horizontal plane. For example, the guide wall 17 can be a plane or part of a conical surface with the axis of the first pipe 31 as its axis.

[0192] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the wall of the feed chamber 96 is provided with an air inlet 19, which is connected to the environment so that the feeding pipe can transport solid food materials under the action of wind. Thus, the air inlet 19 and the air extraction device are located at opposite ends of the feeding channel. When the air extraction device is working, the airflow in the feeding channel flows in one direction, ensuring the unidirectional flow of food materials and improving feeding efficiency.

[0193] The air inlet 19 can be triangular, square, rectangular, circular, elliptical, or polygonal. The dimensions of the air inlet 19 are designed to prevent solid food from passing through. Typically, the minimum radial dimension of the air inlet 19 is no greater than 3 mm, thus preventing most common solid food materials from leaking out. For example, when the air inlet 19 is circular, its inner diameter is no greater than 3 mm; when it is square, its side length is no greater than 3 mm; when it is rectangular, its width is no greater than 3 mm; and when it is elliptical, its minor axis is no greater than 3 mm. The total area of ​​all air inlets 19 is 30% to 300% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the feeding channel through which solid food materials pass. In other words, the total area of ​​all air inlets 19 is 30% to 300% of the cross-sectional area of ​​the feed channel at any point in the first pipe assembly 30 and the second pipe assembly 40.

[0194] Understandably, the airflow of the feeding device is used to send the food accumulated at the first end 31A of the first pipe into the feeding channel. In order for the feeding device to work smoothly, the amount of food accumulated at the first end 31A of the first pipe should not be too much.

[0195] Therefore, the space between the wall of the drainage chamber 96 and the first end 31A of the first pipe should not be too large. For example, as Figure 5As shown, the first end 31A of the first pipe has a first end face 31E, which has a first side S1 (e.g., upper side) and a second side S2 (e.g., lower side) opposite to each other, wherein the first pipe 31 is located on the first side S1. The volume of the portion of the drainage chamber 96 located on the second side S2 is 0.5 ml to 50 ml. In other words, the internal space of the drainage chamber 96 forms a first cavity 16 on the second side S2, which is located entirely on the side of the plane ES where the end face 31E is located, opposite to the first pipe 31, and the volume of the first cavity 16 is 0.5 ml to 50 ml. Preferably, an air inlet 19 is provided on the wall of the portion of the drainage chamber 96 located on the second side S2, so that the airflow entering from the air inlet 19 can deliver the food into the first pipe 31.

[0196] Alternatively, the distance between the wall of the drainage chamber 96 and the first end 31A of the first pipe should not be too large. For example, as Figure 6 As shown, the wall of the flow chamber 96 includes a first chamber wall (e.g., the bottom wall 16A of the flow chamber) disposed opposite to the first end 31A of the first pipe. The distance d between the inner surface of the first chamber wall 16A and the plane ES containing the end face 31E of the first end 31A of the first pipe is 5mm to 30mm. To fully utilize the airflow, preferably, an air inlet 19 is disposed in the first chamber wall 16A. Furthermore, the first chamber wall 16A extends along the plane and is parallel to the end face 31E of the first end 31A of the first pipe, so that the food at the first end 31A of the first pipe can be uniformly subjected to the airflow, which is beneficial to improving the feeding efficiency.

[0197] Understandably, increasing the total area of ​​the air inlet 19 is beneficial for improving wind power, but because the air inlet 19 is relatively small, increasing its density would increase the difficulty of manufacturing. To facilitate the manufacturing of the first bulkhead 16A, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the first compartment wall 16A includes two comb-shaped walls 16B. Each comb-shaped wall 16B is constructed in the shape of a comb and includes a plurality of generally parallel comb teeth 16C. The two comb-shaped walls 16B are arranged opposite each other along the extending direction of the comb teeth 16C, with one comb tooth 16C of one comb-shaped wall 16B inserted between two adjacent comb teeth 16C of the other comb-shaped wall 16B. Thus, the gap between one comb tooth 16C of one comb-shaped wall 16B and the comb tooth 16C of the adjacent comb tooth 16C of the other comb-shaped wall 16B forms an air inlet 19.

[0198] Because of the air inlet 19, dust and particles in the food will leak out through the air inlet 19. Figure 6As shown, to maintain cleanliness, the storage container 11 also includes a dust collection device 94 for storing dust or particles leaking from the air inlet 19. The dust collection device 94 is positioned below the inlet 96, thus below the air inlet 19, allowing dust and particles to fall into it. The dust collection device 94 also requires frequent cleaning. Therefore, the dust collection device 94 can be located within the discharge device 103, allowing it to be removed together with the discharge device 103; it can also be understood as part of the discharge device 103. Furthermore, the dust collection device 94 can be detachably connected to the inlet 96 for easier cleaning. Alternatively, the dust collection device 94 can be a separate component from the discharge device 103, detachably connected to the storage container housing 18.

[0199] When the exhaust device is working, the airflow also acts on the ash storage device 94. To prevent the dust and particles collected by the ash storage device 94 from being sucked into the discharge device 103, the ash storage device 94 needs to maintain a certain distance from the air inlet 19. For example, the ash storage device 94 includes a bearing surface 94A for bearing dust or particles, and the distance between the bearing surface 94A and the edge of the air inlet 19 on the side facing the ash storage device 94 is not less than 5 mm. Alternatively, the distance between the bearing surface 94A and the outer surface of the silo wall of the diversion silo 96 where the air inlet 19 is provided is not less than 5 mm.

[0200] For ease of disassembly and cleaning, the discharge device 103 includes only a portion of the first pipe assembly 30 near the storage chamber 15. The storage container housing 18 also contains other parts of the first pipe assembly 30, such as the second pipe 95 (see...). Figure 4 The second pipe 95 has opposite ends, a first end 95A (e.g., the lower end) and a second end 95B (e.g., the upper end). The first end 95A of the second pipe is used to connect with the second end 31B of the first pipe, and the second end 95B of the second pipe is used to communicate with the washing chamber 25. When the diversion chamber 96 is connected to the first storage chamber 14A, the first pipe 31 and the second pipe 95 are connected opposite each other.

[0201] The first pipe 31 and the second pipe 95 can be connected in various ways. For example, such as Figure 9As shown, the first end 95A of the second pipe can be connected to the second end 31B of the first pipe through end-face contact. For example, the end face of the first end 95A of the second pipe includes a second annular contact plane 95C located around the port for connection, and the difference between the inner and outer diameters of the annular contact plane 95C is not less than 1 mm. Therefore, the first end 95A of the second pipe and the second end 31B of the first pipe can have a positional error of at least 1 mm in the radial direction. Of course, the second annular contact plane 95C can also be provided at the second end 31B of the first pipe, or simultaneously at both the second end 31B and the first end 95A of the first pipe. Preferably, a second flexible member 97 is provided between the first end 95A and the second end 31B of the first pipe to increase the sealing of the end-face contact. The second flexible member 97 is, for example, a sealing ring. The second flexible member 97 can be pre-installed to the first end 95A of the second pipe or pre-installed to the second end 31B of the first pipe. This docking method is suitable for the first end 95A of the second pipe and the second end 31B of the first pipe to approach and dock with each other along the axial direction of the pipe, and it is also suitable for the two to move and dock along the radial direction of the pipe.

[0202] Alternatively, when the first end 95A of the second pipe is connected to the second end 31B of the first pipe, one of the first end 95A and the second end 31B of the first pipe is inserted into the other, that is, one is located radially outward and the other is located radially inward. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the first end 95A of the second pipe is connected to the second end 31B of the first pipe, the second end 31B of the first pipe is inserted into the first end 95A of the second pipe. Figure 12 As shown, when the first end 95A of the second pipe is connected to the second end 31B of the first pipe, the first end 95A of the second pipe is inserted into the second end 31B of the first pipe. This connection method is only applicable when the first end 95A of the second pipe and the second end 31B of the first pipe are brought close to each other along the axial direction of the pipe.

[0203] like Figure 10 As shown, the inner surface of the radially outer one of the first end 95A and the second end 31B of the second pipe (e.g., the first end 95A of the second pipe) is provided with a second annular surface 95D that protrudes radially inward, for contacting the end face of the radially inner one of the first end 95A and the second end 31B of the first pipe (e.g., the second end 31B of the first pipe). Preferably, a second flexible member 97 is provided between the end face of the radially inner one of the first end 95A and the second end 31B of the first pipe and the second annular surface 95D.

[0204] like Figure 11As shown, the outer surface of one of the first ends 95A and 31B of the second pipe located radially inner (e.g., the second end 31B of the first pipe) is provided with a first annular surface 31D that protrudes radially outward, for contacting the end face of the one of the first ends 95A and 31B of the second pipe located radially outer (e.g., the second end 31B of the first pipe). Preferably, a second flexible member 97 is provided between the end face of the one of the first ends 95A and 31B of the second pipe located radially outer and the first annular surface 31D.

[0205] like Figure 12 As shown, one of the second end 31B of the first pipe and the first end 95A of the second pipe (e.g., the second end 31B of the first pipe) has a first additional guide surface 31C on the inner surface of the pipe wall at the port for docking, which is inclined relative to the axial direction of the port. This makes the inner diameter of the pipe larger closer to the end face to accommodate the other (e.g., the first end 95A of the second pipe) for docking. One of the second end 31B of the first pipe and the first end 95A of the second pipe (e.g., the first end 95A of the second pipe) has a second additional guide surface 95E on the outer surface of the pipe wall at the port for docking, which is inclined relative to the axial direction of the port. This makes the outer diameter of the pipe smaller closer to the end face to insert into the other (e.g., the second end 31B of the first pipe) for docking. The guide surface can guide the insertion of the two pipe ports. In such an embodiment, a flexible member can also be provided between the first end 95A of the second pipe and the second end 31B of the first pipe, and the flexible member fits against the guide surface.
