[0028] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. 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. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.

[0029] Existing cooking equipment (especially equipment that focuses on Chinese cooking and requires frequent use of cooking-related liquids) has a core function of storing cooking-related liquids and supplying them to the cooking equipment. However, it generally adopts a fixed installation structure design: the liquid storage component (such as the liquid storage tank) and the components that supply cooking-related liquids (such as the infusion pipe and the liquid outlet valve) are mostly integrally molded or fixedly connected by a rigid structure that cannot be disassembled. The relative position of the two and the overall installation position cannot be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0030] On the one hand, cooking equipment of different brands and models (including household countertop cooking machines and commercial kitchen cooking equipment) offers cooking-related liquid interfaces with significant differences in height, horizontal spacing, and interface orientation. Fixed-structure liquid storage devices cannot adapt to these varying interface parameters, resulting in extremely poor universality and compatibility. Users must replace the liquid storage device simultaneously when replacing or upgrading their cooking equipment, increasing usage costs. On the other hand, cooking-related liquids are characterized by their tendency to solidify at room temperature and their higher viscosity than ordinary edible liquids, making it easy for cooking residues to adhere to the inner wall of the storage chamber. Liquid residue and solidified grease are common problems with infusion components (such as tubing, pumps, and filters) after prolonged use. These components are prone to blockage and poor flow due to solidified grease or accumulated residue. Fixed-installation storage devices lack space for movement, making it impossible to remove or rotate the storage components during cleaning. Cleaning tools are also difficult to reach into the dead corners inside the storage chamber, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Replenishing liquids requires operation in a narrow installation space, which can easily cause cooking-related liquids to spill and contaminate the equipment or countertop. Repairing infusion components requires disassembling a large number of fixed connections, which is cumbersome and time-consuming, seriously affecting maintenance efficiency.

[0031] Furthermore, the fixed installation method rigidly connects the liquid storage device to the cooking equipment or the mounting surface. The vibration generated by the cooking equipment during operation (such as the heating element working or the stirring mechanism running) will be directly transmitted to the liquid storage device, causing fluctuations in the liquid cooking-related liquid in the storage chamber. This may not only affect the liquid absorption stability of the infusion component, causing uneven flow and interruption of the supply of cooking-related liquid, but may also cause wear of the seals at the infusion interface due to vibration, leading to leakage of cooking-related liquid. This not only affects the cooking effect, but also poses a safety hazard. Overall, it is difficult to meet the core usage requirements of cooking equipment for "strong adaptability, convenient maintenance, and stable supply of cooking-related liquid" in the process of storing and supplying cooking-related liquid.

[0032] This application provides a liquid storage device, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the device includes: a liquid storage assembly, comprising a liquid storage tank assembly 20 and a liquid delivery assembly 80. The liquid storage tank assembly 20 has a storage chamber for storing liquid, and a portion of the liquid delivery assembly 80 is located within the storage chamber and connected to the liquid storage tank assembly 20. The storage chamber supplies cooking-related liquids to the cooking equipment through the liquid delivery assembly 80. A guide rail assembly 40 is located below the liquid storage assembly and has an actuator end connected to the liquid storage assembly. The actuator end controls the liquid storage assembly to have an initial position and a working position. The cooking-related liquids specifically include stock, lard, sauce, and oyster sauce, etc.

[0033] By applying the technical solution of this utility model, the actuator of the guide rail assembly 40 can drive the liquid storage assembly to flexibly switch between the initial position and the working position. This not only adapts to the liquid supply needs (such as broth, lard, and other cooking-related liquids) of different models of cooking equipment, but also allows for direct cleaning of the liquid storage chamber at the corresponding position without disassembling the entire liquid storage container. The liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 can stably store cooking-related liquids. The infusion assembly 80 is partly located in the liquid storage chamber and partly connected to the liquid storage tank assembly 20, ensuring smooth delivery of cooking-related liquids. When the liquid storage assembly is switched to the initial position, it is convenient to replenish cooking-related liquids, clean the liquid storage chamber, and inspect the infusion assembly 80. Overall, this improves the ease of use and adaptability of the device, while ensuring the stability of the supply of cooking-related liquids.

[0034] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the guide rail assembly 40 includes a base plate 403 and a guide rail unit 402. The actuating end of the guide rail unit 402 is connected to the liquid storage assembly. The base plate 403 is located below the guide rail unit 402 and is spaced apart from the liquid storage assembly. The fixed end of the guide rail unit 402 is connected to the base plate 403.

[0035] In this embodiment, the fixed end of the guide rail unit 402 is connected to the base plate 403 to provide stable support for the liquid storage component. The actuator is connected to the liquid storage component to ensure smooth switching of the liquid storage component. The base plate 403 is located below the guide rail unit 402 to enhance the overall structural stability. The base plate 403 and the liquid storage component are spaced apart to reduce the transmission of external vibrations and avoid interference between the liquid storage component and the mounting surface. At the same time, it is convenient to observe the bottom status of the liquid storage component, thereby improving the reliability of use and the convenience of maintenance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the guide rail assembly 40 further includes: a limiting plate 401, which is located at one end of the guide rail unit 402 and is connected to the base plate 403. A liquid storage component is disposed on one side of the limiting plate 401. When the liquid storage component is in the initial position, one end of the liquid storage component abuts against the limiting plate 401.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 401 is securely connected to the base plate 403 and assembled at one end of the guide rail unit 402. It can accurately limit the liquid storage component in the initial position, preventing the liquid storage component from shifting. The contact structure between the liquid storage component and the limiting plate 401 can play a buffering and protective role, reducing impact damage during the displacement process. At the same time, it improves the positioning accuracy of the liquid storage component when switching between the initial position and the working position, ensuring the stability of the infusion process. It can also further enhance the overall structural robustness of the guide rail assembly 40 and improve the reliability of the device.

[0038] In one exemplary embodiment, the liquid storage assembly further includes: a housing assembly 10 having a mounting cavity, wherein a portion of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the infusion assembly 80 are respectively located within the mounting cavity, and the portion of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the portion of the infusion assembly 80 are respectively connected to the housing assembly 10; and a control assembly 70 disposed within the mounting cavity, wherein a portion of the control assembly 70 is connected to the housing assembly 10, and the control assembly 70 is disposed at a distance from the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the infusion assembly 80.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity of the outer shell assembly 10 can effectively protect part of the liquid storage tank assembly 20, the infusion assembly 80, and the control assembly 70, preventing external dust and liquid contamination of internal components. The connection between part of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the infusion assembly 80 and the outer shell assembly 10 can enhance the overall structural stability of the liquid storage assembly. The control assembly 70 is located in the mounting cavity and is kept at a distance from the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the infusion assembly 80, which can prevent heat or liquid grease generated during the storage and transportation of cooking-related liquids from affecting the operation of the control assembly 70. At the same time, it reduces mutual interference between components, ensures the operational reliability of the control assembly 70, and improves the service life and safety of the liquid storage device as a whole.

[0040] like Figures 4-6As shown, the infusion assembly 80 includes: an infusion tube 802, a portion of which is located within a storage chamber, with its flow channel connected to the storage chamber, and a portion connected to a storage tank assembly 20; a filter 803, located within the storage chamber, connected to a first port of the infusion tube 802; and a pump body 801, connected to the outer casing assembly 10, with its inlet connected to a second port of the infusion tube 802, and its outlet connected to a cooking device via a pipeline. The pump body 801 is controlled to allow liquid in the storage chamber to pass through the filter 803 and the infusion tube 802 into the pump body 801, and the liquid is supplied to the cooking device via the outlet of the pump body 801.

[0041] In this embodiment, the filter 803 is located in the liquid storage chamber and connected to the first port of the infusion pipe 802. It can effectively filter residues and impurities in cooking-related liquids, preventing blockage of the infusion pipe 802 and the pump body 801. The infusion pipe 802 is partially located in the liquid storage chamber and connected to the liquid storage tank assembly 20, ensuring a stable and smooth liquid flow path. The pump body 801 is connected to the outer shell assembly 10, and its inlet and outlet are respectively connected to the second port of the infusion pipe 802 and the cooking equipment pipeline, providing stable power to drive liquid delivery. By controlling the pump body 801, the liquid can be accurately supplied from the liquid storage chamber through the filter 803 and the infusion pipe 802 to the cooking equipment. This ensures the purity and flow stability of the cooking-related liquids, reduces component blockage failures, extends the service life of the infusion assembly 80, and improves the reliability and safety of the liquid storage device in providing cooking-related liquids.

[0042] In this embodiment, the outer casing assembly 10 includes: a casing having a mounting cavity, with a portion of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 connected to the casing; a first partition 103 disposed within the mounting cavity, dividing the mounting cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, the liquid storage tank assembly 20, a portion of the infusion tube 802 and the filter 803 located in the first chamber, and a pump body 801 and another portion of the infusion tube 802 located in the second chamber, the pump body 801 connected to the first partition 103; a second partition 104 disposed within the second chamber, dividing the second chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber, the other portion of the infusion tube 802 and the pump body 801 located in the first chamber, and a control assembly 70 located in the second chamber, the control assembly 70 connected to the first partition 103; and a handle assembly including at least one handle 105 connected to one end of the casing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the mounting cavity of the housing provides a stable mounting base for each component. The first partition 103 divides the mounting cavity into a first chamber and a second chamber, allowing the liquid storage tank assembly 20, part of the infusion pipe 802, the filter 803 and the pump body 801, and another part of the infusion pipe 802 to be arranged in separate areas. This avoids liquid contamination and heat during the storage of cooking-related liquids from affecting the operation of the pump body 801. The second partition 104 further divides the second chamber into a first chamber and a second chamber, isolating the other part of the infusion pipe 802, the pump body 801 and the control component 70. This effectively prevents liquid leakage and component overheating from interfering with and damaging the control component 70. The connection between the first partition 103 and the pump body 801 and the control component 70, as well as the connection between the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the housing, enhances the overall structural stability of the liquid storage assembly. The handle 105 is connected to one end of the housing, facilitating the switching of the liquid storage assembly's position with the guide rail assembly 40 or its individual transport. The overall layout is reasonable and highly protective, improving the safety of the liquid storage device, the reliability of component operation, and the ease of operation. In this embodiment, the handle assembly includes two handles 105, which are located at both ends of the housing.

[0044] Specifically, the liquid storage tank assembly 20 includes: a liquid storage tank body, a portion of which is located within the mounting cavity, the liquid storage tank body having a liquid storage chamber, the side wall of the liquid storage tank body being disposed at a distance from the outer shell assembly 10, and a portion of which is connected to the outer shell assembly 10; and a heating assembly 204, which is located below the liquid storage tank body, connected to the liquid storage tank body, and spaced apart from the outer shell assembly 10.

[0045] In this embodiment, the storage chamber of the liquid storage tank body can stably store cooking-related liquids. Part of the liquid storage tank body is connected to the outer shell assembly 10 to enhance structural stability. Its sidewall is kept at a distance from the outer shell assembly 10 to facilitate heat dissipation and avoid mutual interference. The heating assembly 204 is located below and connected to the liquid storage tank body, which can efficiently heat the cooking-related liquid in the storage chamber to prevent solidification and ensure that the infusion assembly 80 smoothly provides cooking-related liquids. The heating assembly 204 is spaced apart from the outer shell assembly 10 to avoid heat transfer to other components and causing damage. Overall, it ensures the safety of storing cooking-related liquids and the continuity of supplying cooking-related liquids, and improves the adaptability and reliability of the liquid storage device.

[0046] Furthermore, the liquid storage tank assembly 20 also includes: a drain pipe 203, an outlet 206 provided on the bottom plate of the liquid storage tank body, the outlet 206 being connected to the liquid storage chamber, the first end of the drain pipe 203 being connected to the outlet 206, and the drain pipe 203 extending outward from the installation chamber; and a control valve 202, which is connected to the second end of the drain pipe 203 and is used to control the flow of cleaning wastewater from the liquid storage chamber out of the drain pipe 203.

[0047] In this embodiment, the outlet 206 of the bottom plate of the liquid storage tank body is connected to the liquid storage chamber. The first end of the drain pipe 203 is connected to the outlet 206 and extends to the outside of the installation chamber. The control valve 202 is connected to the second end of the drain pipe 203, which can accurately control the discharge of cleaning wastewater from the liquid storage chamber. Wastewater can be discharged quickly without disassembling parts, avoiding the growth of bacteria in the liquid storage chamber or contamination of the cooking-related liquids stored later due to wastewater residue. The operation is convenient and the cleaning is thorough, which further improves the maintenance convenience of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the hygiene and safety of the storage of cooking-related liquids.

[0048] In this embodiment, the liquid storage tank body includes: a liquid storage tank unit 205, a portion of which is located within the mounting cavity; a first opening at the top of the liquid storage tank unit 205; an upper edge of the liquid storage tank unit 205 connected to the outer shell assembly; and a side wall of the liquid storage tank unit 205 disposed at a distance from the outer shell assembly 10; and a liquid storage tank cover 201 located above the liquid storage tank unit 205, detachably connected to the liquid storage tank unit 205, the liquid storage tank unit 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201 forming a liquid storage cavity, the liquid storage tank cover 201 having a first clearance position to avoid at least a portion of the first opening, and a first closing position to close the first opening.

[0049] The liquid storage tank unit 205 is located inside the installation cavity. Its upper edge is connected to the outer shell assembly to enhance the installation stability. The side wall is kept at a distance from the outer shell assembly 10 to reduce mutual interference. Its top first opening, together with the liquid storage tank cover 201, forms a liquid storage cavity. The liquid storage tank cover 201 is detachably connected to the liquid storage tank unit 205 and has a first clearance position and a first closed position. The first clearance position can avoid part of the first opening, which facilitates maintenance operations on the inside of the liquid storage cavity, the relevant connection parts of the infusion assembly 80 and the heating assembly 204. The first closed position can close the first opening to prevent dust and impurities from contaminating the cooking-related liquids. The detachable design also makes it easy to clean the liquid storage tank cover 201 and the liquid storage tank unit 205 separately, ensuring the hygiene of the storage of cooking-related liquids.

[0050] In this embodiment, a first sealing ring is installed between the liquid storage tank unit 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201. The first sealing ring installed between the liquid storage tank unit 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201 can enhance the sealing performance of the liquid storage cavity when the liquid storage tank cover 201 is in the first closed position, effectively preventing the leakage of cooking-related liquids in the liquid storage cavity, while blocking external dust, moisture and impurities from entering the liquid storage cavity and contaminating the cooking-related liquids, ensuring the hygiene and safety of the storage of cooking-related liquids, and without affecting the detachable connection characteristics of the liquid storage tank cover 201 and the liquid storage tank unit 205.

[0051] Further, the housing includes: an outer shell unit 101, one end of which has a second opening, a portion of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 being connected to the outer shell unit 101, the second opening being correspondingly provided with the control assembly 70 and the pump body 801; and an outer shell cover 102, located on one side of the outer shell unit 101, detachably connected to the outer shell unit 101, the outer shell cover 102 and the outer shell unit 101 forming an installation cavity, the outer shell cover 102 having a second clearance position to avoid the second opening, and the outer shell cover 102 having a second closing position to close the second opening.

[0052] In this embodiment, the outer casing 101 has a second opening at one end and is connected to a portion of the liquid storage tank assembly 20, which enhances the overall stability of the casing installation. The second opening corresponds to the control assembly 70 and the pump body 801 and is configured as a convenient access channel for component maintenance. The outer casing cover 102 is detachably connected to the outer casing 101. When switched to the second clearance position, it can avoid the second opening, allowing quick access to the control assembly 70 and the pump body 801 without disassembling the entire casing, greatly simplifying maintenance operations and improving maintenance efficiency. When switched to the second closed position, it can tightly seal the second opening. Together with the first sealing ring between the liquid storage tank 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201, it further improves the overall sealing performance of the installation cavity and the liquid storage cavity, effectively preventing external dust and moisture from entering and contaminating the internal components and cooking-related liquids, thus balancing maintenance convenience with the sealing and safety of the device.

[0053] In this embodiment, a second sealing ring is installed between the liquid storage tank unit 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201. The second sealing ring installed between the liquid storage tank unit 205 and the liquid storage tank cover 201, together with the first sealing ring, forms a double sealing structure, which greatly improves the sealing performance of the liquid storage chamber. It can more reliably prevent the leakage of cooking-related liquids in the liquid storage chamber, and at the same time effectively prevent external dust, moisture and impurities from invading and contaminating the cooking-related liquids. It does not affect the detachable connection between the liquid storage tank cover 201 and the liquid storage tank unit 205. While strengthening the sealing reliability, it also takes into account the convenience of maintenance and repair, and further ensures the hygiene of the storage of cooking-related liquids and the safety of the device.

[0054] According to another specific embodiment of this application, a cooking device is also provided, including a liquid storage device, which is the liquid storage device described above.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cooking device, by configuring the aforementioned liquid storage device, utilizes the guide rail unit 402 of the guide rail assembly 40 in conjunction with the base plate 403 to flexibly switch the initial and working positions of the liquid storage assembly, adapting to the usage requirements of different cooking scenarios. The first and second sealing rings between the liquid storage tank unit 205 of the liquid storage tank assembly 20 and the liquid storage tank cover 201 form a double seal. Combined with the partitioned design of the outer shell assembly 10, this effectively ensures the hygiene of the stored cooking-related liquids. The heating component 204 prevents the cooking-related liquids from solidifying, and the filter 803 of the infusion assembly 80 filters impurities.
