The support members are common components of existing condiment machines and will not be described in detail here. The liquid weighing module 1 can weigh the liquid container 2 through the weighing sensors, and the solid weighing module 5 can weigh the solid container 6 through the weighing sensors.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 The top of the seasoning machine body 10 is equipped with a display screen 101 for prompting the addition of seasoning when the weight of seasoning in the liquid container 2 and the solid container 6 is lower than a set warning value. By installing weighing sensors on the support members of the solid container 6 and the liquid container 2 of the seasoning machine body 10, the weight of the remaining seasoning can be monitored in real time. When the weight of the seasoning is lower than the set warning value, the weight of the remaining seasoning will be displayed on the display screen 101 and prompting the need to add seasoning, thereby improving the accuracy of seasoning addition during cooking. The seasoning machine body 10, the weighing sensor and the display screen 101 are existing common components, and their internal circuit connections and principles have been disclosed, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The bottom of the seasoning machine body 10 is provided with several liquid feeding modules 4 for extracting and quantitatively feeding liquid seasoning from the liquid material box 2. The top of the seasoning machine body 10 is provided with a solid feeding module 7 for discharging and quantitatively feeding solid seasoning from the solid material box 6. The liquid feeding module 4 is provided with a suction pipe 21 for sucking liquid seasoning from the liquid material box 2. The solid feeding module 7 is located directly below the solid material box 6. The liquid feeding module 4 has a built-in micro suction pump, which can extract liquid seasoning from the liquid material box 2 through the suction pipe 21 for quantitative feeding. The solid feeding module 7 can release solid seasoning from the solid material box 6 for quantitative feeding. The liquid feeding module 4 and the solid feeding module 7 are common components in existing seasoning machines. Their internal structure and principle have been disclosed and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 The seasoning machine body 10 has a food container 9 in the middle for receiving solid seasonings from the solid feeding module 7. The top of the seasoning machine body 10 is fixed with a guide hopper 8 for feeding the seasonings from the solid feeding module 7 into the food container 9. The side of the seasoning machine body 10 is fixed with a frame platform 3 for supporting the food container 9. The guide hopper 8 can guide and direct the seasonings from the solid feeding module 7 so that the released solid seasonings can enter the food container 9. The frame platform 3 can lift and support the food container 9. The staff can add solid seasonings on the frame platform 3.

[0030] Reference Figure 2-4 The liquid container 2 is equipped with a lifting mechanism for automatically lifting the liquid seasoning when the liquid seasoning is reduced. The lifting mechanism includes a return spring 22 fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the liquid container 2, and a base plate 23 fixedly installed at the bottom of the return spring 22 and slidably installed in the bottom end of the liquid container 2. A sealing ring 24 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the base plate 23 and abuts against the bottom end of the liquid container 2. Several air guide holes 25 are opened at the bottom end of the liquid container 2. The bottom end of the extraction pipe 21 is located directly above the base plate 23. The bottom end of the extraction pipe 21 has oblique cuts 26 on both sides. The air guide holes 25 can connect the air in the bottom of the liquid container 2 with the outside air, so as to avoid the bottom of the liquid container 2 from being blocked by the outside air when the base plate 23 moves upward, thus preventing the base plate 23 from continuing to move upward. The sealing ring 24 can seal the connection between the base plate 23 and the liquid container 2.

[0031] The weight of the liquid seasoning in the liquid container 2 can press down the lifting mechanism such as the base plate 23, making the base plate 23 away from the bottom end of the extraction tube 21. This ensures smooth suction of the liquid seasoning at the bottom end of the extraction tube 21. When the liquid seasoning needs to be used up and replaced with other liquid seasonings, the base plate 23 of the lifting mechanism will be lifted as the liquid seasoning is consumed and under the elastic force of the return spring 22. This allows the base plate 23 to rest against the bottom of the extraction tube 21. At this time, the extraction tube 21 can suck up the liquid seasoning on the top of the base plate 23 through the oblique cuts 26 on both sides, thereby reducing resource waste.

[0032] The implementation principle of a seasoning machine that intelligently prompts for remaining seasoning in this application embodiment is as follows:

[0033] During use, by installing weighing sensors on the support components of the solid container 6 and liquid container 2 of the seasoning machine body 10, the remaining weight of the seasoning can be monitored in real time. When the weight of the seasoning is lower than the set warning value, the weight of the remaining seasoning will be displayed on the display screen 101 and a prompt will be made to add seasoning. At this time, the staff can remove the container and add seasoning to it, and then install the container back to its original position to ensure the consistency and stability of the dispensing, thereby improving the accuracy of seasoning addition during cooking. Because a "monitoring system" has been added to the weight of the container, the amount of seasoning in the container can be monitored in real time to ensure the accuracy of adding seasoning, laying the foundation for the standardization of smart cooking.

[0034] The liquid feeding module 4 can extract and quantitatively add liquid seasoning from the liquid container 2 through the extraction pipe 21. The solid feeding module 7 can release and quantitatively add solid seasoning from the solid container 6. The weight of the liquid seasoning in the liquid container 2 can press down the lifting mechanism such as the bottom plate 23, so that the bottom plate 23 is away from the bottom end of the extraction pipe 21, thereby ensuring smooth suction of liquid seasoning at the bottom end of the extraction pipe 21. When the liquid seasoning needs to be used up and replaced with other liquid seasoning, the bottom plate 23 of the lifting mechanism will be lifted as the liquid seasoning is consumed and under the elastic force of the return spring 22, so that the bottom plate 23 can be pressed against the bottom of the extraction pipe 21. At this time, the extraction pipe 21 can suck up the liquid seasoning on the top of the bottom plate 23 through the oblique cuts 26 on both sides, thereby reducing the waste of resources.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
