Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking machine technology, and in particular to a pipeline system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine. Background Technology

[0002] In existing automatic cooking machine designs, the automated dispensing of liquid seasonings (such as soy sauce, cooking wine, vinegar, and cooking oil) typically relies on a fixed piping system. This piping system is generally arranged along the inner wall or upper perimeter of the wok, with a limited number of fixed-position dispensing ports at its ends. When the program instructs the dispensing of a certain seasoning, the corresponding pump valve opens, and the liquid seasoning is injected into the wok in a relatively concentrated flow through these pre-set pipes and fixed dispensing ports. This design aims to achieve basic automated dispensing functions, replacing manual pouring operations.

[0003] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have shortcomings. The primary problem lies in the fixed and usually concentrated location of the inlet, which means that liquid seasonings can often only be injected from one or a few fixed points on the edge of the wok. This concentrated injection method easily causes the seasonings to accumulate in large quantities in local areas of the wok, making it impossible to disperse them quickly and evenly. This not only significantly prolongs the time required for subsequent stir-frying and mixing, reducing cooking efficiency, but may also lead to localized over-saltiness, over-oiling, or uneven flavor in the ingredients. In addition, the fixed piping system is difficult to adapt to the potential needs of different dishes for adding ingredients (such as the center or edge of the wok), resulting in poor flexibility; and the complex piping structure may also create cleaning dead spots, increasing the risk of residue and bacterial growth, affecting hygiene and ease of maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a pipeline system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine includes a mounting base installed on the cooking machine. An inner pipe is provided at the upper end of the mounting base. One end of the inner pipe is connected to a flexible hose. One end of the flexible hose is connected to a micro pump. The input end of the micro pump is connected to a T-connector. The other two ends of the T-connector are respectively used to connect a seasoning storage device and a clean water source. A control valve is provided at each of the other two ends of the T-connector. An outer tube is rotatably mounted on the outside of the inner tube. A dispensing port is provided on one side of the outer tube, and a tapered opening corresponding to the dispensing port is provided on one side of the inner tube. The tapered opening is conical, with the upper end being smaller than the lower end. A drive source for driving the outer tube to rotate is provided at one end of the mounting base.

[0007] Preferably, the dispensing ports are evenly distributed along the length of the outer tube; The gradient port corresponds one-to-one with the injection port, and the outer wall of the inner tube is uniformly provided with sealing rings spaced apart from the gradient port, with the outer edge of the sealing rings fitting against the inner wall of the outer tube.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating ring is provided on the inner side of the end of the outer tube, and an annular groove corresponding to the rotating ring is provided on the outer side of the end of the inner tube, with the rotating ring and the annular groove rotatingly engaged.

[0009] Preferably, the output end of the drive source is provided with a rotating shaft driven by the drive source, a traction frame is fixed to the outer side of one end of the outer tube, an inner shaft is provided at one end of the traction frame, a movable groove corresponding to the inner shaft is provided at one end of the rotating shaft, one end of the inner shaft is movably connected to the movable groove, and the inner shaft and the movable groove are keyed together.

[0010] Preferably, the inner tube is movably connected to the top of the mounting base along its axial direction, and the outer wall of one end of the outer tube is provided with a spiral groove. A guide frame corresponding to the outer tube is installed at one end of the top of the mounting base, and a guide block is provided on one side of the guide frame to move and guide the spiral groove.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the mounting base is provided with a linear guide rail corresponding to the inner tube, and the bottom end of the inner tube is provided with a slider for movably connecting with the linear guide rail.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine, which has the following advantages: This piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine, through the coordinated operation of an outer pipe, an inner pipe, a drive source, a dispensing port, and a variable-diameter inlet, allows seasonings to be added to different locations in the pot. When the dispensing port flips downwards with the outer pipe, the flow rate of the seasoning decreases, dispensing it to a closer location; when it flips upwards, the flow rate increases, dispensing it to a farther location. The variable diameter of the variable-diameter inlet changes the flow rate of the seasoning without altering the flow rate, thus achieving dispensing at both near and far locations. This ensures that the amount of seasoning dispensed at different locations is roughly the same. The system is simple in structure and easy to use. This piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine, through the coordinated arrangement of an inner shaft, movable groove, guide block, and spiral groove in the inner tube, allows for axial reciprocating movement of the entire outer and inner tubes while the outer tube reciprocates, dynamically adjusting the position of the dispensing port and further improving the uniformity of seasoning dispensing.

[0015] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a piping system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine includes a mounting base 1 installed on the cooking machine. An inner pipe 3 is provided on the upper end of the mounting base 1. One end of the inner pipe 3 is connected to a flexible hose 4. One end of the flexible hose 4 is connected to a micro pump 6. The input end of the micro pump 6 is connected to a three-way pipe 5. The other two ends of the three-way pipe 5 are respectively used to connect a seasoning storage device and a clean water source. A control valve 7 is provided on each of the other two ends of the three-way pipe 5. To achieve uniform dosing, an outer tube 2 is rotatably installed outside the inner tube 3. Specifically, a rotating ring 16 is provided on the inner side of the end of the outer tube 2, and an annular groove 17 corresponding to the rotating ring 16 is provided on the outer side of the end of the inner tube 3. The rotating ring 16 and the annular groove 17 are rotatably engaged. A dispensing port 10 is provided on one side of the outer tube 2, and the dispensing ports 10 are evenly arranged along the length direction of the outer tube 2. A tapered port 21 corresponding to the dispensing port 10 is provided on one side of the inner tube 3. The tapered port 21 is conical, and the upper end size is smaller than the lower end size. To increase the sealing performance, sealing rings 20 are evenly arranged on the outer wall of the inner tube 3 at intervals from the tapered port 21. The outer edge of the sealing ring 20 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer tube 2. A drive source 11 for driving the rotation of the outer tube 2 is provided at one end of the mounting base 1. The drive source 11 is preferably a motor.

[0017] To achieve the overall displacement of the outer tube 2 and inner tube 3, the inner tube 3 is movably connected to the top of the mounting base 1 along its axial direction. One end of the outer tube 2 has a spiral groove 19 on its outer wall. One end of the top of the mounting base 1 is equipped with a guide frame 14 corresponding to the outer tube 2. One side of the guide frame 14 is equipped with a guide block 18 that movably guides the spiral groove 19. To accommodate the overall axial displacement of the outer tube 2 and inner tube 3, a rotating shaft 12 driven by the drive source 11 is provided at the output end of the drive source 11. A traction frame 13 is fixed to the outer side of one end of the outer tube 2. One end of the traction frame 13 is equipped with an inner shaft 15. One end of the rotating shaft 12 is equipped with a movable groove 22 corresponding to the inner shaft 15. One end of the inner shaft 15 is movably connected to the movable groove 22, and the inner shaft 15 and the movable groove 22 are keyed together.

[0018] To increase the stability of the inner tube 3 and the outer tube 2, a linear guide rail 9 corresponding to the inner tube 3 is provided on the top of the mounting base 1, and a slider 8 for movably connecting with the linear guide rail 9 is provided at the bottom end of the inner tube 3.

[0019] It should be noted that this utility model is a pipeline system for dispensing liquid seasonings in a cooking machine. In use, one end of the three-way pipe 5 is connected to a seasoning storage device, one end is connected to a clean water source, and the other end is connected to the input end of a micro pump 6. The hose 4 on the output end of the micro pump 6 is connected to the inner pipe 3. When adding seasonings, the control valve 7 at the connection between the three-way pipe 5 and the clean water source is closed, and the control valve 7 corresponding to the seasoning storage device is opened, controlling the micro pump 6 and the drive source 11 to start. The micro pump 6 pumps the seasonings into the inner cavity of the inner pipe 3, and then sprays them out from the dispensing port 10 into the pot. During this process, the drive source 11 is connected via the rotating shaft 12, the inner shaft 15, and the traction frame 13. The outer tube 2 rotates back and forth, and the relative position of the dispensing port 10 and the gradient port 21 changes continuously. Since the inner diameter of the upper end of the gradient port 21 is smaller than that of the lower end, the flow rate increases when the dispensing port 10 flips upwards without changing the flow rate, and the seasoning is sprayed further. When it flips downwards, the flow rate decreases and the seasoning is added closer, so that the amount of seasoning added at near and far is roughly the same, which increases the uniformity of seasoning distribution. Moreover, when the outer tube 2 rotates back and forth, with the cooperation of the spiral groove 19 and the inner shaft 15, the outer tube 2 and the inner tube 3 as a whole can reciprocate axially, further dynamically adjusting the position of the dispensing port 10 and making up for the gap between adjacent dispensing ports 10. When cleaning is required, simply close the control valve 7 corresponding to the seasoning storage device and then open the control valve 7 corresponding to the cleaning water source. The cleaning water source is introduced into the tee pipe 5 to clean the pipeline.
