[0024] 1 and 2, an embodiment of the present application provides a condiment container including a condiment container body 10 and a mounting base 20, the condiment container body 10 is provided with a first connecting part 110, the mounting base 20 is provided with a second connecting part 210, a magnetically attracted member 112 of the first connecting part 110 and a magnetically attracted member 211 of the second connecting part 210 are attracted and fixed, a guide member 213 is provided on a fitting surface 113 between the first connecting part 110 and the second connecting part 210, and the guide member 114 is arranged along the moving direction of the second connecting part 210. Of course, the magnetically attracted member 112 of the first connecting part 110 and the magnetically attracted member 211 of the second connecting part 210 may be any combination of a magnetically attracted member and a magnetically attracted member that attract each other.

[0025] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, in the seasoning container, the first connection part 110 is provided with the guide member 114, and the guide member 114 is arranged along the movement direction of the second connection part 210. When the second connection part 210 (floating connection part) and the first connection part 110 (fixed connection part) are fixed, the first connection part 110 and the second connection part 210 are attracted to each other by the magnetic attraction force between the magnetic attraction member 112 provided on the first connection part 110 and the magnetic attraction member 212 provided on the second connection part 210, thereby guiding the second connection part to move, and the guide member provided on the first connection part 110 further guides the movement direction of the second connection part 210, ensuring a stable connection between the first connection part 110 and the second connection part 210.

[0026] The end of the second connection part 210 is a second suction part, and the end of the first connection part 110 is provided with a first suction part that is fitted with the second suction part, and the guide member 114 is provided on the first suction part. The first suction part is provided with an annular fitting part that is fitted with the second suction part, the fitting surface 113 is the inner wall of the annular fitting part, and the guide member 114 is provided on the peripheral wall of the annular fitting part. When the second connection part 210 and the first connection part 110 are fixed to each other, the second suction part has a truncated cone structure, so that the diameter of the second suction part gradually decreases from the front end to the rear end, making it easier to enter the first connection part 110, and thus the first connection part 110 and the second connection part 210 are connected and fixed to each other. The number of the guide members 114 is at least three, but in this embodiment, it is preferable to arrange three of the guide members 114, and the three guide members 114 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction on the peripheral wall of the annular fitting portion.

[0027] Furthermore, the first connecting part 110 is provided with a guide block along the moving direction of the second connecting part 210 to form the guide member 114, and the outer end of the guide block (guide member 114) is provided with an inclined surface 115, i.e., it can be said that the guide block is provided with an inclined surface at the outer end of the first connecting part 110, or the guide block is provided with an inclined surface at the inlet end of the second connecting part 210. When the second connecting part 210 contacts the first connecting part 110, the second connecting part 210 can smoothly extend into the first connecting part 110 through the inclined surface of the guide member 114, and then, due to the action of magnetic attraction, steadily advances along the inclined surface 115 until the first connecting part 110 and the second connecting part 210 are firmly connected.

[0028] A buffer member 116 is provided on the first suction portion, and when the first connection portion 110 and the second connection portion 210 are connected by suction, the second connection portion 210 comes into contact with the buffer member 116 to absorb the impact of the magnetic attraction force when the first connection portion 110 and the second connection portion 210 are butted together, and when liquid seasoning is stored, it can act as a seal to prevent the seasoning from overflowing and leaking from the seasoning container body 10.

[0029] The spice container body 10 is provided with at least two numbered positions 117, the numbered positions 117 are provided with sensing elements 118, and the mounting base 20 is provided with induction switches 212 corresponding to the sensing elements 118. The sensing elements 118 and the induction switches 212 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the sensing elements 118 are only provided at the corresponding numbered positions of the spice container bodies 10 with corresponding numbers, so that misplacing the spice container body 10 is avoided when mounting the spice container body 10 through the sensing relationship between the sensing elements 118 and the induction switches 212. In an embodiment of the present application, the spice container body 10 is provided with numbered holes, and the sensing elements 118 are provided in the numbered holes.

[0030] 4, the cooking apparatus of the present application is provided with at least two of the seasoning containers, i.e., at least two of the seasoning container bodies 10, and all the seasoning container bodies need to be correspondingly mounted on the mounting plate 201 of the mounting base 20, and the mounting plate 201 is provided with at least two of the second connecting parts 210 and the induction switch 212. Each of the seasoning container bodies 10 is numbered differently, and a sensing element 118 is provided at the corresponding numbered position 117, and the induction switch 212 is correspondingly disposed on the mounting plate 201 of the mounting base 20, so that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the sensing element 118 and the induction switch 212. When the seasoning container body 10 needs to be mounted on the mounting base 20, the first connection portion 110 of the seasoning container body 10 is aligned with the second connection portion 210 on the mounting plate 201, and the second connection portion 210 extends into the first connection portion 110 and is firmly connected thereto by magnetic attraction; at the same time, the cooperation of the sensing element 118 and the induction switch 212 can prevent the seasoning container 10 from being misplaced, causing inconvenience to subsequent cooking.

[0031] The above is merely a description of the preferred embodiments and the technical principles applied in the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious modifications, rearrangements, and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present application.
