[0044] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram illustrating a storage structure according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the storage structure includes a storage tray 1 and a filling structure 2, both of which are integrally formed structures.
[0045] The storage tray 1 includes a bottom plate 101, an inner plate 102, and an outer plate 103; the bottom circumference of the bottom plate 101 is connected to the bottom of the inner plate 102; the bottom of the outer plate 103 is connected to the bottom of the inner plate 102.
[0046] In this embodiment, the base plate 101 is a flat plate structure. The inner plate 102 and the outer plate 103 are both perpendicular to the base plate 101. The inner plate 102 is arranged around the base plate 101, and the outer plate 103 is arranged around the inner plate 102. The bottom of the inner plate 102 is connected to the circumference of the base plate 101, and the bottom of the outer plate 103 is connected to the bottom of the inner plate 102. A gap is formed between the surface of the inner plate 102 and the surface of the outer plate 103.
[0047] In this embodiment, the storage tray 1 is disposed on top of the seasoning machine, and other components and circuit boards of the seasoning machine are disposed below it. The bottom plate 101 may be made of an opaque material to prevent other components below from being seen through the bottom plate of the storage tray 1, thus affecting the aesthetics. The inner layer plate 102 and the outer layer plate 103 are made of a semi-transparent material.
[0048] The filling structure 2 is used at least to fill the gap between the inner layer plate 102 and the outer layer plate 103.
[0049] In this embodiment, the filling structure 2 may be made of transparent rubber or silicone material to have a certain degree of elasticity and reduce the impact of external impact on the inner layer plate 102.
[0050] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper edge of the inner layer plate 102 is lower than the upper edge of the outer layer plate 103. The filling structure 2 also includes an extension edge 201. The extension edge 201 is located on one side of the gap extending from the filling structure 2, and the extension edge 101 covers the upper edge of the inner layer plate 102.
[0051] In this embodiment, the side of the filling structure 2 that is attached to the outer layer plate 103 is flat, and the side of the filling structure 2 that is attached to the inner layer plate 102 has an extension edge 201 protruding from it. The extension edge 201 is located on the side of the filling structure 2 that extends out of the gap between the inner layer plate 102 and the outer layer plate 103, covering the upper edge of the inner layer plate 102. The height of the upper surface of the extension edge 201 is also lower than the height of the upper edge of the outer layer plate 103.
[0052] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an extension edge 201 on one side of the gap extending from the filling structure 2 to cover the upper edge of the inner layer plate 102, it is possible to prevent the seasoning from getting stuck in the gap between the filling structure 2 and the inner layer plate 102.
[0053] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the storage tray 1 also includes: a partition structure 104, the upper edge of the partition structure 104 being at the same height as the upper edge of the inner layer plate 102; the partition structure 104 is used to divide the storage space composed of the inner layer plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 into at least two storage boxes.
[0054] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the partition structure 104 includes multiple partitions, the bottom edge of each partition is connected to the bottom plate 101, one side of each partition is connected to the inner layer plate 102, and the other side of each partition is connected together, with two adjacent partitions separating a storage box.
[0055] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a partition structure 104 to divide the storage space composed of the inner layer plate 102 and the bottom plate 101 into at least two storage boxes, the storage space can store a variety of different seasonings.
[0056] In this embodiment, a reinforcing structure is provided at the position where the inner layer plate 102 is connected to one side of each partition. The reinforcing structure is recessed towards the center of the storage space, and the width of the reinforcing structure is greater than the width of each partition.
[0057] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, each storage box is provided with a discharge hole at the bottom. The discharge hole is located at the middle position of the bottom of each storage box and is used to lower the seasoning stored in the corresponding storage box into the receiving tray at the bottom of the seasoning machine.
[0058] In an optional embodiment, at least two storage boxes include at least one solid seasoning storage box and at least one liquid seasoning storage box, and the partition structure 104 includes a target partition; at least one solid seasoning storage box is located on one side of the target partition, and at least one liquid seasoning storage box is located on the other side of the target partition.
[0059] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by dividing at least two storage boxes into solid seasoning storage boxes and liquid seasoning storage boxes, the storage tray 1 of the seasoning machine can store different types of seasonings. By placing the solid seasoning storage boxes and liquid seasoning storage boxes on both sides of the target partition, the influence between seasonings in different states can be reduced, and the freshness of the seasonings can be maintained.
[0060] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the filling structure 2 also includes a sealing strip 202; the sealing strip 202 is disposed on the upper edge of the target partition.
[0061] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the two sides of the sealing strip 202 are respectively connected to the extension edge 201, and the upper surface of the sealing strip 202 is flush with the upper surface of the extension edge 201.
[0062] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing a sealing strip 202 on the upper edge of the target partition, the extended edge 201 and the sealing strip 202 can cooperate with the structure above to form a solid seasoning storage cavity and a liquid seasoning storage cavity, thereby maintaining the freshness of the seasoning.
[0063] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the storage structure includes: an upper cover 3; the upper cover 3 is used to be positioned above the storage tray 1.
[0064] In this embodiment, the outline of the upper cover 3 is the same as the outline of the outer plate 103 of the storage tray 1, and the upper cover 3 can be pressed together with the storage tray 1.
[0065] As can be seen from the above, by providing the top cover 3 in this embodiment, external dust or moisture can be prevented from entering the storage tray 1 and affecting the use of seasonings.
[0066] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper cover 3 also includes an outward flange 301; the outward flange 301 is used to cooperate with the outer layer plate 103 for pressing.
[0067] In this embodiment, the outer flange 301 is disposed on the outer periphery of the cover body of the upper cover 3. The width of the outer flange 301 is approximately equal to the width of the outer layer plate 103, and the side edge of the outer flange 301 is flush with the outer wall of the outer layer plate 103. After the outer flange 301 and the outer layer plate 103 are pressed together, the upper edge of the outer flange 301 is connected to the upper edge of the outer layer plate 103.
[0068] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an outward flange 301 on the upper cover 3 and pressing the outward flange 301 with the outer layer plate 103, external dust can be prevented from entering the storage tray 1 through the gap between the upper cover 3 and the storage tray 1.
[0069] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper cover 3 also includes an inner flange 302, the upper edge of which is higher than the upper edge of the outer flange 301; the inner flange 302 is used to fit and press against one side of the gap extending from the filling structure 2.
[0070] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the inner flange 302 is used to cooperate and press with one side of the gap extending from the filling structure 2, that is, the inner flange 302 cooperates and presses with the extension edge 201. Since the filling structure 2 has a certain elasticity, the sealing effect between the inner flange 302 and the extension edge 201 is better than the sealing effect between the outer flange 301 and the outer layer plate 103.
[0071] Based on the above, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, by providing an inner flange 302 on the upper cover 3, and by fitting and pressing the inner flange 302 with one side of the gap extending from the filling structure 2, external dust or moisture can be prevented from entering the storage tray 1 through the gap between the upper cover 3 and the storage tray 1.
[0072] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper cover 3 also includes a handle 303; the handle 303 is disposed on the outside of the upper cover 3.
[0073] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the handle 303 can be set as a square shape with edges on all four sides to facilitate the user to pick up and put down the cover 3.
[0074] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a seasoning machine, including the above-mentioned material storage structure.
[0075] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "module" or "unit" refer to a computer program or part of a computer program that has a predetermined function and works with other related parts to achieve a predetermined goal, and can be implemented wholly or partially using software, hardware such as processing circuitry or memory, or combinations thereof.
