[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification, claims and accompanying drawings of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, apparatus, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such processes, methods, products or devices.

[0021] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0022] Example 1, Reference Figures 1-2 The device shown includes: a frame, on which a powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1, a first conveying pipeline, a liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 3, a second conveying pipeline, a modulating seasoning feeding mechanism 4, and a third conveying pipeline are provided. The first, second, and third conveying pipelines are all connected to the pot body 21. The frame is also equipped with three platforms 5, on which the powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1, the first conveying pipeline, and the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 3 are respectively mounted. The powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1 is used to add powdered seasonings into the first conveying pipeline. The powder entering the first conveying pipeline is conveyed into the pot body 21 by instantaneous high-pressure air (for example, a vacuum pump and pressure gauge can be installed on one side of the frame, and the pressure gauge is used to monitor the air pressure delivered by the vacuum pump; the vacuum pump is connected to the first conveying pipeline through a solenoid valve. When it is necessary to convey the powdered seasonings in the first conveying pipeline, the vacuum pump works in advance to increase the air pressure. When the pressure value indicated by the pressure gauge reaches the set value, the solenoid valve opens so that the high-pressure gas can be released instantaneously through the first conveying pipeline. Then, the powdered seasonings in the first conveying pipeline will be conveyed into the pot body under the action of the instantaneous high-pressure airflow. The method of conveying the powdered seasonings by instantaneous high-pressure air reduces the possibility of the powdered seasonings adhering to the inner wall of the first conveying pipeline during the conveying process, thereby improving the addition accuracy and effect of the powdered seasonings). The liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 3 is used to add liquid seasonings into the second conveying pipeline, and the liquid seasonings are conveyed into the pot body 21 through the second conveying pipeline; The seasoning feeding mechanism 4 is used to add the solution to be prepared into the third conveying pipeline, and the prepared solution is conveyed into the pot body 21 through the third conveying pipeline.

[0023] Based on the above structure, by setting up a powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1, a liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 3, and a seasoning mixing mechanism 4, when cooking dishes in the pot body 21, powdered seasonings (such as salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, etc.), liquid seasonings (oil, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc.), and solutions that need to be mixed (such as starch solution, etc.) are added to the pot body 21 respectively, thereby realizing the addition of seasonings, improving the convenience of use and the automation level of the cooking machine, and the powdered seasonings are pneumatically conveyed to the pot body 21 through the first conveying pipeline, thereby ensuring that the powdered seasonings are delivered into the pot body 21.

[0024] The powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1 is provided with one or more, such as Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the powder seasoning feeding mechanism 1 includes a powder box body 11, a feeding screw 12, and a first driving component. The powder box body 11 is provided with a discharge port. The feeding screw 12 is disposed inside the powder box body 11, with one end of the feeding screw 12 located at the discharge port. The first driving component is used to drive the feeding screw 12 to rotate. The first conveying pipeline is connected to the discharge port. The optimal installation position of the feeding screw 12 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the powder box body 11. Thus, when powdered seasoning is placed inside the powder box body 11, the feeding screw 12 is driven to rotate by the first driving component, conveying the seasoning inside the powder box body 11 to the discharge port. Finally, it is conveyed to the pot body 21 through the first conveying pipeline 16 (the seasoning can be conveyed by pneumatic conveying, etc.). The purpose of quantitative feeding can be achieved by controlling the rotation speed of the feeding screw 12.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, a circular anti-bridging turntable 13 is rotatably arranged inside the powder box 11. Several slots 131 are evenly arranged around the periphery of the anti-bridging turntable 13. At least two slots 131 are engaged in the spiral of the feeding screw 12. In this way, when the feeding screw 12 rotates, it will drive the anti-bridging turntable 13 to rotate synchronously, thereby preventing the seasoning in the powder box 11 from becoming blocked.

[0026] As shown in Figure 3 - Figure 5As shown, a conveying pipe 14 and a valve pipe 15 are provided at the discharge port. The conveying pipe 14 has a first channel 141 and a second channel 142. The two ends of the first channel 141 are the first end and the second end, respectively. The two ends of the second channel 142 are the third end and the fourth end, respectively. The first end of the first channel 141 communicates with the second channel 142, and the second end of the first channel 141 communicates with the discharge port (and in actual use, the feeding screw 12 extends into the first channel 141 to prevent powder from clogging the first channel 141). The third end of the second channel 142 communicates with the first conveying pipeline 16. The valve pipe 15 is rotatably mounted at the fourth end of the second channel 142, with one end extending to the side of the first end near the third end. A notch 151 is provided on valve 5. When valve pipe 15 rotates, notch 151 passes through the first end. Thus, by rotating valve pipe 15, the purpose of opening and closing conveying pipe 14 is achieved. Specifically, when notch 151 rotates to the first end position, the seasoning enters notch 151 from the first channel 141, then passes through the second channel 142 (in actual use, the height of the third end of the second channel 142 is lower than the height of the fourth end, so that the powder can fall into the first conveying pipe 16), and finally is conveyed to the pot body 21 from the first conveying pipe 16. When notch 151 rotates to a position away from the first end, the annular side of valve pipe 15 seals the first end to ensure the airtightness of powder box 11 and prevent the seasoning in powder box 11 from getting damp when not in use.

[0027] Further optimizations include, for example Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a rotating ring 152 is provided on the side of the valve pipe 15 away from the third end. The rotating ring 152 has a groove on its ring side. Thus, by providing the rotating ring 152, it is easy to rotate the valve pipe 15. Furthermore, a limiting plate 153 is provided on the side of the rotating ring 152 near the third end, and a limiting plate 153 is provided at the fourth end of the conveying pipe 14. When the limiting plate 153 abuts against both sides of the limiting plate 153, the notch 151 is located on the side near the first end or on the side away from the first end. Thus, it is easy to accurately block the first channel 141 or rotate the notch 151 to the position of the first end.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 6As shown, to facilitate the installation and positioning of the powder box 11, a platform 5 is provided on the frame, and several powder boxes 11 are placed on the platform 5. A mounting seat 17 is provided on the conveying pipe 14, and a slot 171 is provided on the mounting seat 17. Several clamping plates 51 are provided on the platform 5. The mounting seat 17 is clamped onto the clamping plate 51 through the slot 171. When installing the powder box 11, the mounting seat 17 is clamped onto the clamping plate 51, thereby completing the positioning of the conveying pipe 14. Since the conveying pipe 14 is placed on the powder box 11, the positioning of the powder box 11 is completed. The third end of the second channel 142 can be placed on the mounting seat 17, and the interface of the first conveying pipe 16 can be placed on the clamping plate 51. When the mounting seat 17 is placed on the clamping plate 51, the connection between the second channel 142 and the first conveying pipe 16 is completed at the same time.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, multiple liquid seasoning feeding mechanisms 3 are provided. Each liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 3 includes a liquid seasoning box 31, a first suction pipe 32, and a second conveying pipe 33. The liquid seasoning box 31 is mounted on the frame. The first suction pipe 32 extends from the inside of the liquid seasoning box 31 to the outside of the liquid seasoning box 31. One end of the second conveying pipe 33 is connected to the first suction pipe 32, and the other end extends into the pot body 21. By loading the liquid seasoning into the liquid seasoning box 31, the liquid seasoning is fed into the pot body 21 through the first suction pipe 32 and the second conveying pipe 33 (the second conveying pipe 33 can be powered by a pump or the like to convey the liquid seasoning).

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the seasoning feeding mechanism 4 includes a seasoning container 41, a second suction pipe 42, a third conveying pipe 43, and a stirring assembly. The seasoning container 41 is mounted on a frame. The second suction pipe 42 extends from the inside to the outside of the seasoning container 41. One end of the third conveying pipe 43 is connected to the second suction pipe 42, and the other end extends into the pot body 21. The stirring assembly is used to stir the seasonings in the seasoning container 41. Thus, by adding starch, water, etc., to the seasoning container 41 and then stirring it with the stirring assembly, the seasonings are... The prepared seasonings, such as starch water, are transported to the pot body 21 through the second suction pipe 42 and the third conveying pipe 43 (the third conveying pipe 43 can be powered by a pump or the like to transport the liquid seasonings); the stirring assembly includes a stirring rotor 44 and a mesh cover 45. The mesh cover 45 is located inside the seasoning box 41, and the stirring rotor 44 is located inside the mesh cover 45. The stirring rotor (which can be a magnetic stirring rotor) rotates inside the mesh cover 45 to stir and mix the seasonings in the seasoning box 41. The mesh cover 45 is used to limit the movement of the stirring rotor 44.

[0031] Example 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automatic ingredient-feeding cooking machine includes the ingredient-feeding mechanism described in Embodiment 1; It also includes a pot body 21, a spatula 22, and a second drive unit. The spatula 22 is disposed inside the pot body 21, and the second drive unit is used to drive the spatula 22 to move inside the pot body 21. The pot body can be mounted on the frame. The first, second, and third conveying pipelines are all connected to the pot body 21.

[0032] The second driving component is used to drive the stir-fry spatula 22 to move within the pot body 21, and stir-fry the food in the pot body 21 through the movement of the stir-fry spatula 22.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, and the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. It is understood that other improvements and variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and concept of the present invention should be considered to be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
