TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of cooking devices, and in particular, to a cooking device and a host. More particularly, the present application also relates to a feeding method, a computer readable storage medium, and a computer program product. BACKGROUND

[0003] With the development of economy, more and more people choose to use intelligent cooking devices to cook. Various types of intelligent cooking devices such as stir-fry machines, cooking machines, intelligent electric rice cookers, and intelligent pressure cookers are constantly being updated. With the use of intelligent cooking devices, users can complete the automatic cooking process with few steps, bringing great convenience to cooking delicious food. To ensure the taste of the food, the weight of the added food in the pot, the weight of the added water, and the amount of the added seasoning need to be accurately weighed and controlled during the cooking process. The cooking devices in the prior art usually have a weighing sensor arranged in the host, so as to be able to weigh the pot in real time and statically, and also to calculate the amount of the added seasoning by weighing the weight change of the pot.

[0004] The way of measuring the amount of seasoning usually includes the following two: setting a weighing sensor at the end of the pot to weigh the amount of seasoning, and setting another weighing sensor under the seasoning bottle to indirectly obtain the amount of seasoning added by weighing the weight of the seasoning bottle. Setting two weighing sensors is larger in size, more complex in structure, and higher in cost. Moreover, this method requires weighing multiple seasoning bottles with one weighing sensor, which makes the weighing sensor larger in size, higher in processing precision, and higher in cost. Another way is to indirectly obtain the amount of seasoning added by calculating the number of rotations of the feeding pump. This measurement method has low precision and cannot accurately obtain the correct amount of seasoning added, thereby resulting in poor taste of cooking.

[0005] In particular, the feeding device is usually connected to the main machine by a hose. In order to simplify the layout of the feeding pipeline in the main machine, the hose is usually connected to the rotating arm of the main machine. The hose can bend with the angle of rotation of the rotating arm. Thus, only the feeding pipeline needs to be arranged on the rotating arm, and no feeding pipeline needs to be arranged below the main machine, and the arrangement of the feeding pipeline at the rotating shaft does not need to be considered. However, the cost of the connecting hose is high, and therefore manufacturers are seeking new connection methods to simplify the accessories of the cooking equipment.

[0006] Moreover, during the feeding process, the hose can exert a certain pulling force on the main machine, which can easily interfere with the weighing of the main machine. In addition, the feeding pump can vibrate during the feeding process, which can interfere with the precision of the weighing sensor and result in a large feeding error. Furthermore, when feeding, if the pot is in a state of heating and boiling, the boiling and rolling liquid will cause the weight value to fluctuate constantly. The fluctuation of the weight value causes a large deviation between the actual feeding amount and the target feeding amount, which can greatly affect the taste of the dish.

[0007] During weighing, the main machine needs to be kept stable so that the weighing sensor is not affected, thereby ensuring the accuracy of weighing. However, the fan in the main machine can easily cause the main machine to vibrate during operation, which can interfere with the precision of the weighing sensor and result in a large feeding error. Moreover, the user can easily touch or pull the power cord during the use of the cooking equipment, which can interfere with the precision of the weighing sensor and also result in a large feeding error.

[0008] In addition, the two sides of the weighing sensor are in contact with other structures through support frames. For example, the upper side and the lower side of the weighing sensor can be respectively provided with an upper support frame for connecting the pot body and a lower support frame for connecting the foot, so as to stably support the weighing sensor on the foot and weigh the weight of the pot body. The longer the length of the support frame, the higher the processing precision required, the greater the processing difficulty, and the higher the cost. How to reduce the cost of the weighing sensor support frame and improve the accuracy of weighing is a technical problem to be solved in the field.

[0009] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by those skilled in the art is how to reduce the cost of the cooking equipment with automatic feeding function and ensure the accuracy of the weighing. SUMMARY

[0249] The pot member comprises a housing 11 of the main machine 1, which can be used to cover the outer surface of the main machine 1, thereby improving the appearance of the cooking device. As shown in FIG. 4, the pot member further comprises a supporting part 14, which is a bracket structure inside the main machine 1 and can be used to mount various components of the main machine 1. A pot 12 is arranged on the supporting part 14. It can be understood that the pot 12 is the main structure for cooking. As shown in FIG. 4, a heating module 120 is arranged below the pot 12, which can be used to heat the pot 12, and the user needs to put food into the pot 12 for cooking.

[0250] The pot member further comprises a pot cover assembly 13. Specifically, referring to FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the pot cover assembly 13 comprises a turning arm 131, a cover 130 arranged on the turning arm 131, and a feeding opening 133 arranged on the turning arm 131 and / or the cover 130, which extends through the cover 130 from the turning arm 131. Referring to FIG. 9, the turning arm 131 is hinged to the supporting part 14 by a hinge shaft 132 and drives the cover 130 to move to cover or uncover the pot 12 during rotation relative to the supporting part 14. The user can add food into the pot 12 when the cover 130 is rotated to uncover the pot 12. The cooking device can cook when the cover 130 covers the pot 12, and the cover 130 can prevent splashing during cooking. In addition, when the cover 130 is covered, the feeding opening 133 is located directly above the pot 12, so that the pot 12 can be automatically added with seasonings through the feeding opening 133, thereby improving the user experience. The feeding opening 133 can be a component mounted on the cover 130 or the turning arm 131, or a component mounted on both the turning arm 131 and the cover 130. As shown in FIG. 4, the feeding opening 133 in the present embodiment is mounted on both the turning arm 131 and the cover 130, and the feeding opening 133 extends through the cover 130 from the turning arm 131, thereby being able to put seasonings into the pot 12.

[0251] As shown in FIG. 5, the load cell 3 has a fixed end 302 and a force receiving end 301. The fixed end 302 is connected with the support member, and the force receiving end 301 is connected with the pot member. In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 5, the support member can include a lower support frame 32, and the pot member can include an upper support frame 31. The lower support frame 32 can be fixedly connected to the fixed end 302 of the load cell 3 below via a gasket, so as to fix the support member on the fixed end 302 of the load cell 3; and the upper support frame 31 can be fixedly connected to the force receiving end 301 of the load cell 3 above via a gasket, so as to fix the pot member on the force receiving end 301 of the load cell 3. The load cell 3 used in the present application is a cantilever load cell, which has a small volume, high weighing precision, and occupies a small internal space of the main machine 1, so as to leave enough space for arranging other structures.

[0252] The load cell 3 is used to weigh the pot member. Specifically, the load cell 3 can be supported on the support member and deformed under the pressure of the upper pot member, and the control unit in the main machine can obtain the current weight of the pot member according to the degree of deformation of the load cell 3. As described above, the pot member includes the pot 12, and when food materials are added into the pot 12, the load cell 3 can sense the change of the total weight of the pot member, so as to measure the weight of the food materials.

[0253] It should be noted that there should not be rigid connection or unstable connection between the pot member and the support member, i.e., there should not be force transmission between the upper support frame 31 and the lower support frame 32, otherwise force interference or offset will occur, which will result in inaccurate measurement of the load cell 3 and difficulty in accurate weighing. The pot member and the support member have an assembly gap, so as to ensure that the pot member is completely supported on the load cell 3, and thus the accuracy of weighing is ensured. It can be understood that when external force is applied to the pot member, the accuracy of weighing will be affected; and when external force is applied to the support member, the weighing will not be affected.

[0254] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 6, FIG. 8 and FIG. 14, two load sensors 3 can be provided, and the two load sensors 3 are arranged in a first direction. As shown in FIG. 14, the first direction can be the extending direction of the turning arm 131 when the cover 130 is closed. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the first direction is the arrangement direction of the main machine 1 and the feeding device 2, and the two load sensors 3 are arranged along the first direction, so that one of the load sensors 3 or the lower support frame 32 connected with the load sensor 3 is arranged close to the feeding device 2, facilitating the assembly of the feeding device 2 and the lower support frame 32, and the vibration generated by the feeding device 2 will not be transmitted to the pot member, thereby avoiding the interference with the accuracy of the load sensor 3 in weighing the pot member. The other load sensor 3 is arranged in the first direction, especially at the two ends of the main machine 1 or the pot member, thereby supporting the weight of the entire pot member. The two load sensors 3 can be connected together through the sensor connecting line 33, thereby jointly performing the weighing. The two lower support frames 32 of the two load sensors 3 can be respectively installed on the two front feet 15 and the two rear feet 15 of the main machine 1, and the two load sensors 3 can be respectively located between the two front feet 15 and between the two rear feet 15; and the pot member can be stably supported on the two load sensors 3.

[0255] In addition, referring to FIG. 15, a second direction is defined in the horizontal plane and forms an angle with the first direction, preferably, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The width of the main machine 1 in the second direction is smaller than the width in the first direction, preferably, the main machine 1 can have a minimum width in the second direction. Specifically, the length of the main machine 1 in the first direction can be about 400 mm, and the size of the main machine 1 in the second direction can be about 300 mm. The fixed end 302 and the force receiving end 301 of the two load sensors 3 arranged in the first direction extend in the second direction, thereby causing the lower support frame 32 and the upper support frame 31 fixed to the fixed end 302 and the force receiving end 301 respectively to also extend in the second direction. In this way, the length of the lower support frame 32 and the upper support frame 31 is shortened as much as possible, thereby reducing the processing difficulty and the processing cost.

[0256] Moreover, in order to make the weighing more accurate, in one embodiment of the present application, referring to the view direction of FIG. 5, the arrangement directions of the two load sensors 3 are opposite, that is, one of the upper support frames 31 is in contact with the left side of one of the load sensors 3, and the other upper support frame 31 is in contact with the right side of the other load sensor 3. When subjected to pressure, one of the load sensors 3 deforms in the counterclockwise direction, and the other load sensor 3 deforms in the clockwise direction, so that the overall force is more balanced, thereby avoiding the bias.

[0257] Referring to FIG. 14, the support part 14 is provided with a control module 6, which can be used to control the cooking device to perform cooking work. For example, referring to FIG. 15, the control module can include a controller 61, which can be connected with a heating module 120 to control the heating module 120 to heat the pot body 12. As shown in FIG. 14, the control module 6 is located below the pot body 12 and between the two weighing sensors 3. The control module 6 is located between the two weighing sensors 3, thereby achieving reasonable use of the internal space of the main machine 1, and making the center of gravity of the main machine 1 central and the whole more stable. Such a layout has the advantages of saving space and low cost, and compared with the scheme of a single weighing sensor 3, the arrangement of two weighing sensors 3 improves the accuracy of weighing. The two weighing sensors 3 are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the main machine 1, avoiding single-sided suspension and shaking, which can cause inaccurate measurement. The number and arrangement of the weighing sensors 3 are not limited in the present application, and the weighing sensors 3 can also be one, three, four or more.

[0258] Referring to FIG. 1, the pot body component of the cooking device includes an input assembly 18, which can be a touch screen, a button, a knob or the like. The input assembly 18 sends an ingredient adding instruction under pressure to determine the target ingredient adding weight of the target ingredient. The input assembly 18, the pot body 14 and the ingredient adding device 2 can be arranged in sequence in a first direction, wherein one side where the input assembly 18 is located can face the user, and one side where the ingredient adding device 2 is located can be away from the user. It can be understood that during the use of the cooking device by the user, the input assembly 18 needs to be frequently controlled, but during the cooking process, the user basically does not need to supplement the ingredients to the ingredient adding device 2. Therefore, the input assembly 18 is arranged on the front side close to the user, and the ingredient adding device 2 is arranged on the rear side away from the user, so that the structure of the cooking device is further optimized and rationalized, and the user's experience is improved.

[0259] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the ingredient adding device 2 is used to supply ingredients to the pot body component. The ingredient adding device 2 includes an ingredient storage device and a power mechanism. The ingredients in the ingredient storage device flow to the pot body component under the driving action of the power mechanism through a feeding pipeline. Specifically, the ingredient storage device can be an ingredient bottle 21, and the power mechanism can be a peristaltic pump 23. The ingredient adding device 2 includes a cartridge housing 24, and at least one ingredient bottle 21 arranged inside the cartridge housing 24. The output port of the ingredient bottle 21 can be in communication with one end of a feeding pipe 22 inside the cartridge housing 24. When the feeding is needed, the other end of the feeding pipe 22 can deliver the ingredients stored in the ingredient bottle 21 to the outside of the ingredient adding device 2 under the action of the peristaltic pump 23.

[0260] As shown in FIG. 3, the feeding device 2 can have a plurality of seasoning bottles 21, for example, the feeding device 2 of the embodiment includes five seasoning bottles, and the five seasoning bottles can be used to store different seasonings respectively, for example, used to store edible oil, salt water, sugar water, soy sauce and vinegar respectively, and the specific number of the seasoning bottles 21 and the content thereof are not limited in the application. It should be noted that the feeding device 2 of the application adopts the pipeline pumping mode to deliver the seasoning, so that the seasoning stored in the seasoning bottle 21 is preferably in liquid state, thereby facilitating feeding.

[0261] The host 1 determines the weight of the feeding device 2 according to the weight of the pot member weighed by the weighing sensor 3, and sends a signal to the feeding device 2 to stop feeding according to the weight of the feeding device 2, that is, the weight of the feeding device 2 is determined by the weight of the pot member weighed by the weighing sensor 3. Specifically, the host 1 can send a feeding signal to the feeding device 2, so that the feeding device 2 starts to feed the host 1; the seasoning can be delivered to the feeding port 133 of the host 1 and enter the pot 12 through the feeding port 133; the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1 can calculate and determine the weight of the feeding according to the weight change value of the pot member. When the host 1 knows that the feeding weight reaches the target weight, it can send a signal to the feeding device 2 to stop feeding, thereby realizing accurate control of the feeding weight.

[0262] Since the amount of seasoning added is usually only a few grams, and a slight deviation in the amount of seasoning added can cause a great difference in the taste of the finished dish, it is necessary to ensure that the weighing is accurate enough to ensure that the calculated feeding weight is accurate enough.

[0263] The feeding device 2 can feed the host 1 through the feeding pipeline. Since the feeding port 133 is located on the cover 130, that is, on the pot member, if the feeding device 2 is directly connected to the feeding port 133, the vibration of the peristaltic pump 23 and the pulling force of the feeding pipeline during feeding will cause the pot member to be subjected to external force, thereby causing inaccurate weighing and difficulty in controlling the amount of seasoning added. In order to solve this problem, the feeding device 2 is gap-fitted with the pot member, so as to avoid the vibration of the peristaltic pump 23 and the pulling force of the feeding pipeline from being transmitted to the pot member, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the weighing.

[0264] The host 1 is provided with functional components, and the pot body 12 and the functional components can be arranged in the first direction. The functional components can include at least one of the first connecting portion, the input assembly 18, and part of the feeding pipeline, that is, the first connecting portion, the input assembly 18, and part of the feeding pipeline can be arranged in the first direction with the pot body 12. In an embodiment of the present application, the host 1 is provided with the first connecting portion, specifically, the first connecting portion belongs to the functional components, and the pot body 12 and the first connecting portion can be arranged in the first direction, thereby further optimizing the specific layout of the cooking equipment host 1. Among them, the pot body 12 is located on the front side close to the user, and the first connecting portion is located on the rear side away from the user, thereby facilitating the user to add food materials into the pot body 12; the first connecting portion is used to assemble the feeding device 2, as described above, during the cooking process, the user basically does not need to supplement the seasoning into the feeding device 2, and therefore the first connecting portion can be arranged at the rear side position away from the user. The feeding device 2 is provided with a second connecting portion, and the feeding device 2 is connected with the host 1 through the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion.

[0265] In an embodiment of the present application, the first connecting portion is arranged on the support member. It can be understood that the peristaltic pump 23 will vibrate when the feeding device 2 feeds the host 1, in order to avoid the vibration being transmitted to the pot body member of the host 1 through the second connecting portion and the first connecting portion, thereby causing the problem of inaccurate weighing, the first connecting portion of the present application has a predetermined gap with the pot body member. The predetermined gap makes the vibration of the feeding device 2 unable to be further transmitted to the pot body member after being transmitted to the first connecting portion, thereby ensuring the accuracy of weighing.

[0266] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2 to 4, the first connecting portion is one of the male plug 20 and the female socket 10, the second connecting portion is the other one of the male plug 20 and the female socket 10, and the male plug 20 is detachably connected to the female socket 10. In the present embodiment, the first connecting portion is the female socket 10 arranged on the support member, and the second connecting portion is the male plug 20 arranged on the feeding device 2. The male plug 20 protrudes from the material box shell 24 and has a shape matched with the female socket 10. The male plug 20 is provided with a quick plug interface 201, which can be in communication with the output port of the feeding pipe 22 inside the feeding device 2, thereby feeding outwardly from the quick plug interface 201.

[0267] The female socket 10 is provided with a quick plug connector 54, when the male plug 20 is plugged into the female socket 10, the rigid connection is formed between the feeding device 2 and the supporting member of the main machine 1, the quick plug connector 54 can extend into the quick plug interface 201, and the seasoning can flow from the quick plug interface 201 into the quick plug connector 54. The quick plug connector 54 can be part of the feeding pipeline, and the feeding pipeline communicates with the feeding device 2 through the quick plug connector 54. The seasoning enters the main machine 1 through the quick plug connector 54, and is continuously conveyed to the feeding opening 133 through the feeding pipeline inside the main machine 1 for feeding.

[0268] The male plug 20 is detachably plugged into the female socket 10 in the application, and the rigid connection is formed between the feeding device 2 and the supporting member of the main machine 1. The feeding device 2 can be directly connected to the supporting member of the main machine 1 for feeding, without the need to additionally provide a flexible feeding pipe between the feeding device 2 and the main machine 1, thereby simplifying the accessories of the cooking equipment and reducing the cost. The feeding device 2 is connected to the supporting member of the main machine 1, thereby avoiding the interference caused by weighing.

[0269] One end of the feeding pipeline of the application extends to communicate with the feeding device 2 through the first connecting part and the second connecting part, and the other end extends to communicate with the pot member. Specifically, since the first connecting part is provided on the supporting member, the feeding pipeline can be partially fixed on the supporting member, one end of which extends to communicate with the feeding device 2 through the first connecting part and the second connecting part from the supporting member, and the other end extends to communicate with the pot member from the supporting member. It should be noted that the feeding pipeline can not be a complete pipeline, but a feeding path formed by a plurality of connectors and a plurality of pipelines in sequence. The feeding pipeline of the application connects the feeding device 2 to the supporting member of the main machine 1, so that the vibration of the feeding device 2 and the pulling force of the feeding pipeline during the feeding process can only be transmitted to the supporting member, without affecting the pot member, thereby ensuring the accuracy of weighing the seasoning.

[0270] The application provides a cooking device in which a host 1 static weighing and a feeding weighing share a same weighing sensor 3. Specifically, the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1 can weigh the weight of a pot member, so as to weigh the food materials in the pot, thereby realizing the host 1 static weighing function. The feeding device 2 can feed the pot member through a feeding pipeline, specifically, the feeding device 2 is connected with the host 1 through a first connecting part and a second connecting part; since the feeding pipeline is partially fixed on the supporting member, and the first connecting part on the supporting member and the pot member have a predetermined gap, the feeding pipeline only exerts force on the supporting member of the host during the feeding process, and does not exert force on the pot member, so that the feeding process does not affect the weighing, and the weight of the feeding can be determined by the weight of the pot member weighed by the weighing sensor 3. The application realizes the functions of realizing the host 1 static weighing and the feeding weighing by using the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1, reduces the cost, and improves the user experience without additional weighing of the feeding.

[0271] In an embodiment of the application, the male plug 20 can be provided with a plurality of quick plug interfaces 201, and the female socket 10 can be provided with a plurality of quick plug connectors 54. For example, the male plug 20 of the embodiment is provided with five quick plug interfaces 201, and the female socket 10 is provided with five quick plug connectors 54, and the five quick plug connectors 54 are respectively matched with the five quick plug interfaces 201. As described above, the feeding device 2 of the embodiment includes five seasoning bottles 21, each of which stores different seasoning. In order to ensure that the flavors do not mix during feeding, and to ensure the cleanliness of the feeding pipeline 22, a feeding pipeline 22 can be provided for each seasoning bottle 21. The five quick plug interfaces 201 can be respectively communicated with the five feeding pipelines 22, so as to respectively feed the five seasonings into the five quick plug connectors 54. The application does not limit the specific number of quick plug interfaces 201 and quick plug connectors 54, as long as the number and position of the quick plug interfaces 201 and the quick plug connectors 54 are matched with each other.

[0272] In one embodiment of the present application, the first connecting part and the second connecting part together have a freedom of movement within a predetermined gap. Specifically, the male plug 20 and the female socket 10 plugged together can together move within the range of the predetermined gap, so that the male plug 20 and the female socket 10 plugged together form an overall structure independent of the pot member, and the interaction occurring inside the overall structure cannot be transmitted to the pot member, but can be separated by the predetermined gap. As shown in FIG. 7, the first connecting part includes a connecting part body and a bearing seat 19, the connecting part body is mounted on the bearing seat 19, and is in butt joint with the second connecting part. The first connecting part of the present embodiment is the female socket 10, which includes a female socket body 100 and the bearing seat 19, and the female socket body 100 is connected with the bottom foot 15 through the bearing seat 19. The bearing seat 19 is arranged separately from the pot member, specifically, the predetermined gap can be arranged between the bearing seat 19 and the pot assembly, further, the predetermined gap is arranged between the bearing seat 19 and the shell 11, so as to avoid the vibration of the feeding device 2 being transmitted to the pot member through the female socket body 100 and the bearing seat 19, and to avoid affecting the weight.

[0273] In one embodiment of the present application, the connecting part body and the bearing seat 19 have a freedom of movement, further, the connecting part body and the second connecting part plugged thereon together have a freedom of movement relative to the bearing seat 19, wherein the range of movement is within a predetermined gap. As described above, in the case that the first connecting part is the female socket 10 and the second connecting part is the male plug 20, the male plug 20 can be fixedly arranged on the feeding device 2, and the female socket body 100 is provided with a certain freedom of movement relative to the bearing seat 19; the male plug 20 and the female socket body 100 can also be provided with a certain freedom of movement. Similarly, it can be known that when the first connecting part is the male plug 20 and the second connecting part is the female socket 10, the male plug 20 and / or the female socket 10 can also be provided with a certain freedom of movement. The range of movement of the female socket body 100 relative to the bearing seat 19 does not exceed the range limited by the predetermined gap, so that the force generated during the movement of the female socket body 100 can be blocked by the predetermined gap, and cannot be transmitted to the pot member, and cannot affect the weight.

[0274] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the connecting portion body is installed on the bearing seat 19 through a limiting assembly, and the limiting assembly has a free degree of activity in the height direction. Referring to FIG. 13, the limiting assembly can be a bolt 104 with a washer, and the female plug body 100 can be installed on the bearing seat 19 through the bolt 104. The bearing seat 19 can be provided with a mounting hole having a diameter slightly larger than that of the bolt. As shown in FIG. 13, there is a certain activity gap 105 between the bolt 104 and the through hole, so that the female plug body 100 can move up and down relative to the bearing seat 19, wherein the activity gap 105 is within a predetermined gap. It can be understood that during production, the quick plug interface 201 of the male plug 20 and the quick plug joint 54 of the female plug body 100 can have a certain height deviation, and if they are plugged together in this case, the host 1 will be stressed in the height direction, which is not conducive to accurate weighing. Therefore, the present embodiment provides the female plug body 100 with a certain activity space, so that when the quick plug interface 201 and the quick plug joint 54 cannot be accurately connected in height, the height position of the female plug body 100 can be slightly adjusted through the activity gap 105, thereby avoiding the deviation caused by production, and the host 1 will not be stressed in the height direction, ensuring the accuracy of weighing.

[0275] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 7 and 12, the pot member includes the shell 11 provided on the support portion 14 and the bottom plate 16 located at the bottom of the support portion 14, and the side wall of the shell 11 is provided with an opening 111 for cooperating with the first connecting portion. The first gap 101 is formed between the side wall of the first connecting portion and the inner wall of the opening 111, and the second gap 102 is formed between the bottom of the first connecting portion and the bottom plate 16, and the first gap 101 and the second gap 102 are communicated. During use of the cooking device by the user, after the feeding device 2 is plugged in, the female socket 10 is prone to residual seasoning or oil and water. As described above, since there is a gap between the female socket 10 belonging to the support member and the shell 11 belonging to the pot member, the liquid remaining in the female socket 10 is prone to flow into the gap during downward flow, causing contamination inside the host 1, which is difficult for the user to clean. Therefore, the present embodiment provides the female socket 10 at a lower position of the host 1, and the second gap 102 is formed between the female socket 10 and the bottom plate 16, i.e., the second gap 102 is formed between the bottom of the female socket 10 and the bottom of the bottom plate 16, the second gap 102 is communicated with the first gap 101, and the residual liquid will flow down to the bottom of the female socket 10 or the bottom of the bottom plate 16 during downward flow, and then drop onto the countertop, which is convenient for the user to clean.

[0276] The specific structure and connection mode of the partial feeding pipeline between the host 1 and the feeding device 2 are described above, and the specific structure and connection mode of the partial feeding pipeline inside the host 1 are described below.

[0277] In the existing cooking equipment with the automatic feeding function, the feeding device 2 and the host 1 are usually connected by a hose. In order to simplify the layout of the feeding pipeline in the host, the hose is usually connected to the turning arm 131 of the host 1, and the hose can be bent along with the rotation angle of the turning arm 131. Thus, only the feeding pipeline needs to be arranged on the turning arm 131, and the feeding pipeline does not need to be arranged below the turning arm 131 in the host 1, and the arrangement of the feeding pipeline at the rotating shaft 132 does not need to be considered.

[0278] In the present application, the feeding device 2 and the host 1 are directly plugged, the first connection part, the second connection part, and the feeding device 2 cannot rotate along with the rotation of the turning arm 131. Thus, the opening 111 is located on the shell 11, and the feeding pipeline needs to extend from the first connection part, pass through the rotating shaft 132 and the turning arm 131, and reach the feeding opening 133.

[0279] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 4, 9-11, the feeding pipeline includes a first joint assembly 53 connected to the support part 14 and adjacent to the position of the turning arm 131, and further includes a first feeding pipe 51 located between the first joint assembly 53 and the feeding opening 133. The feeding pipeline further includes a second feeding pipe 52 located between the first joint assembly 53 and the first connection part. One end of the second feeding pipe 52 is connected to the first joint assembly 53, and the other end extends to the first connection part in the direction of the first connection part to be connected to the corresponding pipe joint provided on the first connection part, that is, to be connected to the quick plug joint 54 on the female socket 10. The seasoning from the feeding device 2 enters the host 1 through the quick plug joint 54, and then sequentially flows to the feeding opening 133 through the second feeding pipe 52, the first joint assembly 53, and the first feeding pipe 51, thereby realizing feeding.

[0280] One end of the second feeding pipe 52 is connected to the support member (communicating with one end of the quick plug joint 54), and the other end is connected to the pot member (communicating with one end of the first joint assembly 53). It should be noted that, in the process of conveying the seasoning, the vibration of the feeding device 2 is basically not transmitted to the first joint assembly 53 through the flexible second feeding pipe 52, and the pot member is not subjected to the pulling force of the pipeline inside the host 1. It can be seen that the feeding pipeline of the present application can realize automatic feeding and weighing of the seasoning by the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1 at the same time.

[0281] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 11, the feeding pipe further comprises a second joint assembly 55, which can be arranged at a position upstream of the feeding opening 133, one end of the first feeding pipe 51 is communicated with the first joint assembly 53, and the other end is communicated with the second joint assembly 55, so as to deliver the ingredients to the feeding opening 133 through the second joint assembly 55. In this embodiment, a feeding pipe is arranged for each kind of ingredients, and all the feeding pipes will be finally gathered into the same feeding opening 133, therefore, the second joint assembly 55 with multiple input ends and one output end can be arranged to gather the ends of the multiple feeding pipes.

[0282] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10, a sleeve 17 can be arranged on the support 14, which can be sleeved at the connecting position of the first joint assembly 53 and the first feeding pipe 51. The sleeve 17 strengthens the fixing of the first feeding pipe 51, and in addition, in the process of rotation of the rotating shaft 132, the first feeding pipe 51 will follow the deformation, thus generating certain alternating stress, and the fixing of the sleeve 17 can effectively avoid the damage of the first joint assembly 53, and prolong the service life of the first joint assembly 53.

[0283] In one embodiment of the present application, the position where the first joint assembly 53 is used to connect with the second feeding pipe 52 is arranged below the rotating shaft 132. It can be understood that in the process of rotation of the rotating shaft 132 to drive the swing arm 131 and the cover 130 to rotate, part of the feeding pipe in the main machine 1 will be deformed and offset with the rotation, which can affect the weighing. The input joint (i.e. the joint used to connect with the second feeding pipe 52) of the first joint assembly 53 is arranged below the rotating shaft 132, so as to ensure that the second feeding pipe 52 is completely below the rotating shaft 132. The spatial position of the first joint assembly 53 and the quick connector 54 will not be affected by the rotation of the swing arm 131, so that the shape of the second feeding pipe 52 is fixed, the stress of the second feeding pipe 52 on the weighing sensor 3 is always stable, and the weighing is not affected.

[0284] As for the first feeding pipe 51 connected to the output joint above the first joint assembly 53, the rotation of the rotating shaft 132 will inevitably drive the first feeding pipe 51 to move. Since the first feeding pipe 51 belongs to the pot member, the movement of the first feeding pipe 51 is the movement inside the pot member, and no external force is applied to the pot member, so it basically does not affect the weighing. However, if the first feeding pipe 51 is excessively deformed in the process of following the rotation, or in the case of multiple first feeding pipes 51, the multiple first feeding pipes 51 can be squeezed in the process of movement, which can cause the ingredient feeding process to be not smooth. Therefore, the installation position of the first feeding pipe 51 needs to be designed.

[0285] In one embodiment of the present application, the first feeding pipe 51 comprises a first pipe section extending along the length direction of the turning arm 131, a second pipe section extending along the axial direction of the first joint assembly 53, and a third pipe section connecting the first pipe section and the second pipe section and being curved. The length direction of the turning arm 131 is the horizontal direction, the axial direction of the first joint assembly 53 is the vertical direction, and the third pipe section can connect the first pipe section extending along the horizontal direction and the second pipe section extending along the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. 10, and the third pipe section is curved at an approximate right angle.

[0286] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the third pipe section is located at a position corresponding to the rotation shaft 132 in the height direction (i.e., a position substantially flush with the height of the rotation shaft 132) or a position higher than the rotation shaft 132. That is, the third pipe section of the first feeding pipe 51 is not lower than the height of the rotation axis. In this way, it is ensured that the first feeding pipe 51 has sufficient movement space and deformation space during the rotation of the turning arm 131.

[0287] In one embodiment of the present application, the first feeding pipe 51 is provided with at least two first joint assemblies 53, and each first joint assembly 53 comprises a plurality of first pipe joints and a plurality of second pipe joints arranged in sequence in a direction away from the feeding opening 133. The first pipe joints and the second pipe joints are arranged in a direction away from the support member in sequence, and the corresponding first feeding pipe 51 arranged on the first pipe joints and the second pipe joints extends towards the feeding opening 133 through the corresponding third pipe section. Further, the first pipe joints and the second pipe joints are provided with at least two groups, and the at least two groups of first pipe joints and second pipe joints are arranged in a direction of the rotation axis of the turning arm 131.

[0288] As described above, since the present embodiment is provided with five seasoning bottles 21, five quick plug interfaces 201, and five quick plug joints 54, the second feeding pipe 52, the pipe joints of the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipe 51, and the pipe joints of the second joint assembly 55 can also be provided with five, respectively. The present application does not limit the specific number of the second feeding pipe 52, the pipe joints of the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipe 51, and the pipe joints of the second joint assembly 55, as long as they are matched with each other.

[0289] Referring to FIGS. 10 and 11, the five first feeding pipes 51 can be divided into two groups arranged in a direction of the rotation axis of the turning arm 131, one group comprising two pipe joints and the other group comprising three pipe joints; and the pipe joints in the same group are arranged in a direction away from the feeding opening 133 and away from the support member in sequence, that is, the farther away from the feeding opening 133, the higher the position of the pipe joints, and the pipe joints in the same group have a height difference.

[0290] It can be understood that the first feeding pipes 51 connected with different pipe joints have different radii of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates. Specifically, the first feeding pipe 51 connected with the pipe joint farthest from the feeding port 133 has the largest radius of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates; the first feeding pipe 51 connected with the pipe joint closest to the feeding port 133 has the smallest radius of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates. In order to keep the deformation of the plurality of first feeding pipes 51 consistent when rotating, and avoid excessive deformation and mutual extrusion, the plurality of pipe joints on the first joint assembly 53 are arranged at different heights, and a height difference is formed between the pipe joints, thereby leaving sufficient deformation space for the five first feeding pipes 51.

[0291] In addition, by arranging the plurality of pipe joints on the first joint assembly 53 at different heights, the distance from each pipe joint to the second joint assembly 55 is adjusted to be consistent, thereby keeping the plurality of first feeding pipes 51 at the same length. This makes the cooking device of the present application easier to produce, and the lengths of the plurality of first feeding pipes 51 are completely consistent, which facilitates the assembly of the staff.

[0292] The specific structure and connection mode of the feeding pipe are described above, and the circuit connection mode of the cooking device will be described in detail below. It should be noted that the cooking device needs to be plugged into an external socket for power supply. Since the control module 6 belongs to a part of the pot member, the cooking device in the prior art usually sets the power cord as a part of the pot member. When the user pulls the power cord, and after the plug is plugged into the external fixed facility, the load cell 3 will be disturbed by external force, resulting in inaccurate weighing.

[0293] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 7, 8 and 14, the support part 14 is provided with the control module 6, and the main machine 1 of the cooking device includes a line assembly, part of which extends out of the main machine 1 and is connected with an external power source. The line assembly can include a power line 41, a cartridge connecting line 42 and various lines, which are easily touched or pulled by the user during use of the cooking device, thereby interfering with the accuracy of the weighing sensor 3 and causing a large error in material adding. To solve the above problem, the line assembly is provided with a fixing position on the support member, and the line assembly is fixed on the support member through the fixing position, thereby avoiding the line assembly from transmitting vibration to the pan member. Specifically, the line assembly can extend to the support part 14 through the fixing position and be connected with the control module 6. Since the first connecting part is arranged on the support member, the fixing position can be arranged on the first connecting part; as described above, the first connecting part has a predetermined gap with the pan member sufficient to eliminate vibration, so that the fixing position arranged on the first connecting part makes the vibration of the line assembly only transmitted to the first connecting part, but not further transmitted to the pan member, thereby avoiding affecting the weighing. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the fixing position can also be arranged on other structures of the support member.

[0294] The line assembly can include the power line 41, which can extend out of the main machine 1 to be connected with an external power source. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 14, the first fixing position 411 can be fixedly arranged on the foot 15, and the power line 41 can be fixed on the support member through the first fixing position 411 at a position adjacent to the power plug 40. Since the power plug 40 and part of the power line are outside the housing 11 and can be touched by the user, vibration is caused. The vibration is eliminated at the first fixing position 411, thereby avoiding transmitting the vibration to the pan member.

[0295] The other end of the power line 41 extends to the support part 14 through the first fixing position 411 and can be fixed on the support part 14 through the first mounting position 412. In this way, at least two points of the power line 41 are fixed on the support member and the pan member, respectively, so that the power line 41 does not transmit external vibration to the pan member and does not apply external force to the pan member, and the cooking device does not affect the weighing when the external power source is connected.

[0296] The line assembly can further include a cartridge connecting line 42 for realizing communication and power supply of the host 1 to the refilling device 2. In a specific embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, a first power connection part 103 is arranged on the female socket 10, and a second power connection part 202 is arranged on the male plug 20, one of the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 can be a power connection head protruding outward, and the other can be a power connection hole matched with the former. When the male plug 20 is plugged into the female socket 10, the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 are connected together, thereby realizing circuit connection and communication connection between the refilling device 2 and the host 1.

[0297] The first power connection part 103 can be located above the quick plug 54, and correspondingly, the second power connection part 202 can be located above the quick plug interface 201. It can be understood that there can be residual seasoning at the quick plug 54 and the quick plug interface 201, and the residual seasoning can flow or drip downward. Arranging the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 above the quick plug 54 and the quick plug interface 201 respectively can effectively prevent the seasoning from dripping onto the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202, thereby preventing pollution and avoiding poor contact or short circuit when plugging in.

[0298] One end of the cartridge connecting line 42 is connected to the inner side of the first power connection part 103, as shown in FIG. 14, and a second fixing position 421 can be fixedly arranged on the support member, and the end adjacent to the first power connection part 103 can be fixed on the support member by the second fixing position 421. The other end of the cartridge connecting line 42 extends to the support part 14 from the second fixing position 421 and can be fixed on the support part 14 by a second mounting position 422. In this way, at least two points of the cartridge connecting line 42 are fixed on the support member and the pot member respectively, so that the cartridge connecting line 42 does not exert external force on the pot member, and the cooking device does not affect the weighing when the refilling device 2 is connected.

[0299] Further, the first fixing position 411 and the first mounting position 412, and the second fixing position 421 and the second mounting position 422 can have a relatively long distance in the direction of the top view of the host 1. In this way, the line assembly between the support member and the pot member can be as long as possible, thereby improving the flexibility of the line assembly; in addition, the relatively long line assembly can avoid the influence of processing deviation on the consistency of weighing to some extent.

[0300] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to Figs. 14 and 15, the control module 6 comprises a controller 61 and a fan 62. As aforementioned, the controller 61 can be used to control the heating module 120 to heat the kettle body 12. Since the controller 61 directly contacts with the heating module 120, the temperature of the controller 61 is prone to overheat, and thus the controller 61 needs to be cooled. As shown in Fig. 15, a second direction perpendicular to the first direction is defined in the horizontal plane, and the fan 62 is spaced apart from the controller 61 in the second direction. Referring to the airflow arrow mark in Fig. 15, the fan 62 forms an airflow at least partially blowing to the controller 61 in the second direction, so as to achieve the air cooling of the controller 61.

[0301] As aforementioned, referring to Fig. 15, the control module 6 can be located between the two load sensors 3, that is, both the controller 61 and the fan 62 are located between the two load sensors 3. The fan 62 is prone to cause the whole host machine 1 to shake during operation, and thus the accuracy of the load sensor 3 can be affected, resulting in a large error in the loading. Therefore, the fan 62 is arranged between the two load sensors 3 in the present application, so that the gravity center of the fan 62 is centered, and the stability of the host machine 1 is improved. In this way, the host machine 1 is basically not shaken when the fan 62 is working, and thus the load sensor 3 is not affected.

[0302] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 15, the bottom plate 16 is provided with an air inlet 161, and as shown in Fig. 2, the bottom side of the shell 11 is provided with an air outlet 112. The air inlet 161 and the air outlet 112 are provided with an air duct extending in the second direction, the controller 61 and the fan 62 are located in the air duct, and the fan 62 is obliquely arranged on the bottom plate 16. The obliquely arranged fan 62 can have a larger size, so as to improve the cooling effect. Since the air inlet 161 in the present embodiment is arranged on the bottom plate, the air duct and the fan 62 need to be cooperated to turn the airflow, so as to blow to the controller 61 in the second direction. The obliquely arranged fan 62 comprises an air inlet side obliquely downward and an air outlet side opposite to the air inlet side, the air inlet 161 is arranged on the bottom plate 16 at a position corresponding to the air inlet side, and the air outlet 112 is arranged at a position of the bottom of the shell 11 facing the air outlet side. The airflow enters the host machine 1 from the air inlet 161, and the air inlet from the bottom makes the air volume larger. Under the action of the fan 62, the airflow blows out from the air outlet side in the oblique direction of the fan 62, and is turned in the air duct to blow to the controller 61 in the second direction, so as to blow the heat of the controller 61 out from the air outlet 112, thereby achieving the cooling effect.

[0303] Embodiment Two

[0304] The embodiment provides a host 1, which comprises a support member, a pot body member and a weighing sensor 3. The weighing sensor 3 has a fixed end 302 and a force receiving end 301, the fixed end 302 is connected with the support member, the force receiving end 301 is connected with the pot body member, and the weighing sensor 3 is used for weighing the weight of the pot body member. The host 1 is provided with a first connecting part, and the first connecting part is used for connecting the host 1 with other devices. The host 1 further comprises a feeding pipeline, and the feeding pipeline extends from the first connecting part to the pot body member.

[0305] The host 1 provided by the embodiment is completely same as the host 1 in the cooking device provided by the first embodiment, and the specific structure and working principle are not described here. The other device connected with the host 1 can be the feeding device 2 in the cooking device of the first embodiment, and the second connecting part can be arranged on the feeding device 2, so as to be connected with the host 1 through the second connecting part and the first connecting part, and to feed the host 1.

[0306] The host 1 provided by the embodiment realizes that the static weighing of the host 1 and the feeding weighing share the same weighing sensor 3, the food materials in the pot can be weighed, and the weight of the pot body member weighed by the weighing sensor 3 can be used to determine the weight of the feeding. The application realizes that the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1 is used to realize the functions of the static weighing of the host 1 and the weighing of the seasoning, reduces the weighing cost, ensures the weighing accuracy, and improves the user experience.

[0307] Embodiment three

[0308] The embodiment provides a feeding method, which can be applied to the cooking device provided by the first embodiment and the host 1 provided by the second embodiment. When feeding, if the pot body 12 is in a state of heating and boiling, the weight of the pot body member detected by the weighing sensor 3 will gradually decrease due to the evaporation and loss of water vapor, so that the actual feeding amount is too much. It can be understood that a few grams of error of the seasoning will greatly affect the taste of the dish. The method provided by the embodiment aims to solve the above problems, so as to realize accurate feeding.

[0309] Referring to FIG. 16, the feeding method provided by the application comprises the following steps.

[0310] S102: In the initial stage, the target feeding weight of the target seasoning is determined; in the case that the cooking device meets the preset condition, the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval is obtained; and the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0311] Specifically, the user can manually input the type of the target seasoning (or input the seasoning bottle 21 index information) and the target seasoning target seasoning weight; or the control unit can determine the target seasoning and the target seasoning weight according to the pre-recorded recipe information.

[0312] In an embodiment of the present application, after determining the target seasoning target seasoning weight in the initial stage, the method further comprises:

[0313] The temperature of the pot 12 in the host 1 is obtained. Specifically, an NTC can be arranged adjacent to the pot 12, which can detect the temperature of the pot 12 in real time. After determining the target seasoning target seasoning weight, the control unit can obtain the temperature of the pot 12 in the host 1 through the NTC.

[0314] In the case where the temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the cooking device meets the preset condition. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the preset temperature threshold can be 100℃, and when the temperature of the pot 12 obtained by the NTC is greater than 100℃, it indicates that the pot 12 is in a boiling state. At this time, it is determined that the cooking device meets the preset condition, and the weight of the evaporation loss of water vapor needs to be compensated to avoid the problem of excessive seasoning amount.

[0315] In the case where the temperature is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the control unit controls the seasoning device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipe until the seasoning amount reaches the target seasoning weight. Specifically, when the temperature of the pot 12 obtained by the NTC does not reach 100℃, it indicates that the pot 12 is in a non-boiling state. At this time, the cooking device does not meet the preset condition, and there is no need to compensate the weight of the evaporation loss of water vapor, so the normal seasoning program can be directly executed.

[0316] In the case where the cooking device meets the preset condition, the weight of the evaporation loss of water vapor needs to be compensated, so the seasoning is not immediately performed, but the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval is obtained by calculation first. The unit evaporation weight information can be information such as the speed, rate or grams per second of evaporation.

[0317] In a specific embodiment of the present application, in the initial stage, obtaining the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval comprises:

[0318] The first weight value and the second weight value based on the first preset time interval are obtained, and the unit evaporation weight information is determined according to the first preset time interval, the first weight value and the second weight value. Specifically, the weighing sensor 3 first obtains the current first weight value, and then obtains the current second weight value after the first preset time interval. Due to the continuous evaporation, the second weight value is less than the first weight value. According to the first preset time interval, the first weight value and the second weight value, the unit evaporation weight information can be calculated, for example: when the first weight value is 500 grams, the second weight value is 496 grams, and the first preset time interval is 2 seconds, the unit evaporation weight information at this time is: (500-496) / 2=2 grams / second, that is, 2 grams of water vapor evaporates per second, and the weight of the evaporation needs to be compensated in the subsequent feeding process.

[0319] After the unit evaporation weight information is calculated, the feeding program can be started. Before starting to deliver the target seasoning, the step of the weighing phase needs to be performed.

[0320] S104: Weighing phase: obtain the initial weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3. Specifically, the initial weight value can be the reading of the weighing sensor 3 at the moment when the seasoning is about to be added. Subsequently, in the feeding process, the weight value increment needs to be obtained based on the initial weight value, so as to calculate the added weight. After the initial weight value is obtained and the feeding is started, the step of the calculation phase can be performed.

[0321] S106: Calculation phase: in the case that the feeding duration reaches the preset duration threshold, the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 is obtained, and the added weight is calculated based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the unit evaporation weight information. Specifically, after the feeding is started, the feeding device 2 will continuously deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline until the feeding is completed. In the case that the feeding duration reaches the preset duration threshold, the current weight value can be obtained once, at this time, the feeding duration can be re-counted, and the current weight value can be obtained again in the case that the feeding duration reaches the preset duration threshold again. For example, the preset duration threshold can be 0.5 seconds, and the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 can be obtained every 0.5 seconds. The preset duration threshold should not be set too long, otherwise it is impossible to realize real-time monitoring of the current weight.

[0322] The added weight is calculated based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the unit evaporation weight information. Specifically, the added weight can be calculated by subtracting the initial weight value from the current weight value and adding the unit evaporation weight in the preset time. For example, referring to Table 1, the weight value obtained at 0 seconds is the initial weight value 160 grams; the preset time threshold is 0.5 seconds, and the weight value obtained at 0.5 seconds is the first current weight value 159.5 grams; the unit evaporation weight is 2 grams / second, and the cumulative evaporation weight in 0.5 seconds is 1 gram; based on the above information, the added weight can be calculated as 159.5-160+1=0.5 grams.

[0323] Table 1: Example table of method execution of Example Three

[0324] Note: The unit evaporation weight in the example is 2 g / s, and the target added weight is 2 g.

[0325] After the added weight is calculated, the loop phase can be executed.

[0326] S108: Loop phase: determine the current adding strategy according to the added weight and the target added weight; in the case that the current adding strategy is continuous adding, control the adding device 2 to deliver the target ingredient to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline, and continue to execute the calculation phase until the current adding strategy is stopped adding. Specifically, by comparing the added weight with the target added weight, it can be determined whether the adding is completed. If the added weight calculated in step S106 is greater than or equal to the target added weight, it is determined that the current adding strategy is stopped adding; if the added weight calculated in step S106 is less than the target added weight, it is determined that the current adding strategy is continuous adding. For example, referring to Table 1, the added weight at 0.5 seconds is 0.5 grams, which is less than the target added weight (2 g), so it is determined that the current adding strategy is continuous adding.

[0327] A certain amount of water vapor is generated during the adding process, and the weight of the water vapor cannot be weighed by the weighing sensor 3, so it is necessary to compensate the weight of the evaporation to the added weight to prevent over-adding. For example, referring to Table 1, the adding strategy at 0.5 seconds is continuous adding, so steps S106-S108 are executed in a loop; at 1 second, the adding time of this round again reaches the preset time threshold (0.5 seconds), and the weight value obtained at 1 second is the second current weight value 159 grams; the unit evaporation weight is 2 grams / second, and the cumulative evaporation weight in 1 second is 2 grams; based on the above information, the added weight can be calculated as 159-160+2=1 gram; the added weight at 1 second is less than the target added weight (2 grams), so it is determined that the current adding strategy is continuous adding, and steps S106-S108 need to be executed again in a loop.

[0328] Similarly, the fed weight at 1.5 seconds (1.5 grams) is still less than the target fed weight, so step S106 is executed again. At 2 seconds, the fourth current weight value 158 grams is obtained by weighing, and the cumulative evaporation weight within 2 seconds is 4 grams; the fed weight at this time is 158-160+4=2 grams; the fed weight at 2 seconds is equal to the target fed weight, so the current feeding strategy is determined to be stop feeding. At this point, step S108 is executed, and the cycle does not need to be performed again, and the current feeding operation is completed.

[0329] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the feeding method further comprises:

[0330] In the cycle phase, when the current feeding strategy is stop feeding, the feeding device 2 is controlled to stop feeding the host 1. At this time, the fed weight is greater than or equal to the target fed weight, indicating that the amount of feeding has been sufficient, and therefore it is necessary to stop feeding immediately to prevent too much seasoning from being added.

[0331] In one embodiment of the present application, in the cycle phase, when the current feeding strategy is continuous feeding, the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline, and the weighing phase and the calculation phase are continued to be executed until the current feeding strategy is stop feeding. Specifically, in this embodiment, the initial weight value can be weighed again in each cycle, and in the calculation phase of each cycle, the latest current weight value is subtracted from the initial weight value obtained in this round, so that the fed weight in this round is more accurately measured.

[0332] Embodiment Four

[0333] The embodiment provides a feeding method, which can be applied to the cooking device provided in embodiment one and the host 1 provided in embodiment two. As shown in FIG. 1, the pot component of the cooking device includes an input assembly 18, which can be a touch screen, a button, a knob or the like. The input assembly 18 sends a feeding instruction under pressure to determine the target fed weight of the target seasoning. When the user operates the input assembly 18, pressure is applied to the pot component, which causes the weighing sensor 3 to remain unstable for 1-2 seconds after being pressed completely. In order to ensure the accuracy of the weighing, the feeding needs to be started after the weighing sensor 3 recovers to be stable.

[0334] The method provided in the embodiment aims to solve the above problems, thereby realizing precise feeding.

[0335] Referring to FIG. 17, the feeding method of the present application comprises:

[0336] S202: In the case of receiving the feeding instruction, a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in a second preset time interval are obtained, and the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the second preset time interval is determined according to the plurality of weight values.

[0337] Specifically, the weight value fluctuation information includes at least one of the extreme difference, the variance, and the standard deviation. Through the plurality of weight values obtained in the second preset time interval, it can be known whether the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to be stable. It can be understood that when the weight value fluctuation information of the plurality of weight values, for example, the extreme difference, is too large, it means that the current fluctuation is still significant, and the weighing sensor 3 has not recovered to be stable.

[0338] Taking the extreme difference as an example of the weight value fluctuation information: the second preset time interval can be 0.5 seconds, and the control unit can read the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 every 40 milliseconds, thereby generating 12-13 readings; the control unit can obtain the maximum value and the minimum value in the readings, and obtain the extreme difference information by difference. Since the unstable state of the weighing sensor 3 is usually only about 1-2 seconds, the second preset time interval should not be too long, and the second preset time interval can be between 0.1-1 seconds.

[0339] S204: In the case that the weight value fluctuation information is greater than or equal to a preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the operation of obtaining a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in a second preset time interval and determining the extreme difference information corresponding to the second preset time interval according to the plurality of weight values is performed, and the number of times of cyclic execution is counted.

[0340] Specifically, the weight value fluctuation information greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold means that the weighing sensor 3 in this round is still in an unstable state and cannot normally perform the weighing work, so the previous step needs to be recycled, that is, the weight value fluctuation information in the second preset time interval is obtained again. Taking the extreme difference as an example of the weight value fluctuation information: the preset extreme difference threshold can be 1 gram, and when the extreme difference information is greater than or equal to 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, and the previous step needs to be recycled.

[0341] In an embodiment of the present application, in the case that the weight value fluctuation information is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the heating power is reduced. Specifically, as described above, in the case that the weight value fluctuation information is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, it means that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, and the weighing error is large at this time, so the target seasoning cannot be delivered to the host 1. In the cooking process, the heating module 120 will continuously heat the pot body 12, and in the process of waiting for feeding, the heating power can be appropriately reduced, thereby ensuring the cooking quality of the dish.

[0342] S206: In a case where the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold or the number of loop executions is greater than the preset number threshold, the control unit controls the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the main machine 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0343] Specifically, still taking the weight value fluctuation information as the extreme difference and the preset extreme difference threshold as 1 gram as an example, when the extreme difference information is less than 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. Alternatively, in a case where the number of loop executions reaches the preset number threshold, taking 0.5 seconds as the second preset time interval as an example, the preset number threshold can be set to 6 times. When the number of loop executions reaches 6 times, it means that 3 seconds have passed. As mentioned above, the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state 1-2 seconds after being normally pressed. It can be considered that 3 seconds are enough for the weighing sensor 3 to recover to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. The preset number threshold can be set according to the second preset time interval, and the product of the two should be at least greater than 2 seconds.

[0344] In a case where it is ensured that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work, the current weight is obtained as the initial weight value, and then the control unit controls the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the main machine 1 through the feeding pipeline. During the feeding process, the weight value increment is obtained based on the initial weight value, so as to calculate the feeding weight. When the feeding weight reaches the target feeding weight input by the user through the input assembly 18, the feeding device 2 is controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0345] Embodiment Five

[0346] The embodiment provides a feeding method which can be applied to the cooking device in the embodiment one. The scheme provided in the embodiment is also aimed at solving the problem of excessive feeding amount due to evaporation and loss of water vapor.

[0347] Referring to FIG. 18, the feeding method provided in the application comprises the following steps:

[0348] S302: Determine the target feeding weight of the target seasoning. Specifically, the user can manually input the type of the target seasoning (or input the index information of the seasoning bottle 21) and the target feeding weight of the target seasoning; or the control unit can determine the target seasoning and the target feeding weight according to the recipe information input in advance.

[0349] In an embodiment of the application, after determining the target feeding weight of the target seasoning, the method further comprises the following steps:

[0350] The temperature of the pot 12 in the host 1 is acquired. Specifically, an NTC can be arranged adjacent to the pot 12, and the NTC can acquire the temperature of the pot 12 in real time. After the target amount of the target seasoning is determined, the control unit can acquire the temperature of the pot 12 in the host 1 through the NTC.

[0351] When the temperature is greater than the preset temperature threshold, it is determined that the cooking device meets the preset condition. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the preset temperature threshold can be 100°C. When the temperature of the pot 12 acquired by the NTC is greater than 100°C, it indicates that the pot 12 is in a boiling state. At this time, it is determined that the cooking device meets the preset condition, and the weight loss due to the evaporation of water vapor needs to be compensated for to avoid the problem of excessive amount of seasoning.

[0352] When the temperature is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the control unit controls the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipe until the amount of seasoning reaches the target amount. Specifically, when the temperature of the pot 12 acquired by the NTC is less than 100°C, it indicates that the pot 12 is in a non-boiling state. At this time, the cooking device does not meet the preset condition, and there is no need to compensate for the weight loss due to the evaporation of water vapor, so the normal feeding program can be directly executed.

[0353] S304: When the cooking device meets the preset condition, acquire the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval. As described above, when the cooking device meets the preset condition, the weight loss due to the evaporation of water vapor needs to be compensated for, so the feeding is not immediately performed, but the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval is first acquired by calculation. The unit evaporation weight information can be information such as the speed, rate, or grams per second of evaporation.

[0354] In a specific embodiment of the present application, acquiring the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval includes:

[0355] Acquire the first weight value and the second weight value based on the first preset time interval, and determine the unit evaporation weight information according to the first preset time interval, the first weight value, and the second weight value. Specifically, the weighing sensor 3 first acquires the current first weight value, and then acquires the current second weight value after the first preset time interval. Due to the continuous evaporation, the second weight value is less than the first weight value.

[0356] S306: Acquire the initial weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3, and control the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipe. Specifically, after the unit evaporation weight information is calculated, the feeding program can be executed. First, the initial weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 needs to be acquired, and then the weight value increment needs to be acquired based on the initial weight value in the subsequent feeding process, so as to calculate the feeding weight.

[0357] S308: In the case that the feeding time length reaches the preset time length threshold, the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 is obtained, and the current feeding strategy is determined based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the target feeding weight. Specifically, after the feeding is started, the feeding device 2 will continue to deliver the target ingredient to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline until the feeding is completed. In the case that the feeding time length reaches the preset time length threshold, the current weight value can be obtained once, at this time, the feeding time length can be re-counted, and the current weight value can be obtained again in the case that the feeding time length reaches the preset time length threshold again. For example, the preset time length threshold can be 0.5 seconds, and the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 can be obtained once every 0.5 seconds. The preset time length threshold should not be set too long, otherwise it is impossible to realize real-time monitoring of the current weight.

[0358] The current feeding strategy can be determined based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the target feeding weight. Specifically, the current weight value can be subtracted from the initial weight value to obtain the feeding weight, and whether the feeding is completed can be judged by comparing the feeding weight with the target feeding weight. If the difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is greater than the target feeding weight, it is determined that the current feeding strategy is to stop feeding; if the difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is less than or equal to the target feeding weight, it is determined that the current feeding strategy is to continue feeding.

[0359] S310: In the case that the current feeding strategy is to continue feeding, the target feeding weight is updated based on the unit evaporation weight information, and the operation of obtaining the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 in the case that the feeding time length reaches the preset time length threshold, and determining the current feeding strategy according to the initial weight value, the current weight value and the updated target feeding weight is continued to be performed.

[0360] Specifically, part of the water vapor is generated in the current feeding process, and the weight of the water vapor cannot be weighed by the weighing sensor 3, so it is necessary to subtract the weight of the evaporation from the target feeding weight to update the target feeding weight, so as to prevent overfeeding. For example: when 1 gram of water vapor evaporates every second, that is, the unit evaporation weight information is 1 gram / second, the evaporation weight of the current round can be calculated according to the time of the current round (that is, the preset time length threshold); for example, when the preset time length threshold is 0.5 seconds, the evaporation weight of the current round is 0.5 grams, and the target weight needs to be updated to: original target weight-0.5 grams.

[0361] Then the feeding can be continued, and steps S308-S310 can be executed in a loop until the difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is greater than the target feeding weight updated last time.

[0362] In one specific embodiment of the present application, the feeding method further comprises:

[0363] In the case that the current feeding strategy is to stop feeding, the control unit controls the feeding device 2 to stop feeding the host 1. At this time, the difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is greater than the target feeding weight, which means that the amount of feeding has been sufficient, and therefore it is necessary to stop feeding immediately to prevent too much seasoning from being added.

[0364] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the pot member of the cooking device includes an input component 18, which can be a touch screen, a button, a knob, or the like; the input component is configured to send a feeding instruction under pressure to determine the target feeding weight of the target seasoning. When the user operates the input component 18, pressure is applied to the pot member, which causes the weighing sensor 3 to remain unstable for 1-2 seconds after being pressed to completion. In order to ensure the accuracy of the weighing, the feeding needs to be started after the weighing sensor 3 recovers to a stable state.

[0365] Between steps S302 and S304, the feeding method of the present application further comprises:

[0366] In the case that the feeding instruction is received, a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 within a second preset time interval are obtained, and an extreme difference information corresponding to the second preset time interval is determined according to the plurality of weight values.

[0367] For example: the second preset time interval can be 0.5 seconds, and the control unit can read the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 every 40 milliseconds, thereby generating 12-13 readings; the control unit can obtain the maximum and minimum values of these readings, and obtain the extreme difference information by taking the difference. Since the unstable state of the weighing sensor 3 usually lasts only 1-2 seconds, the second preset time interval should not be too long, and the second preset time interval can be between 0.1-1 seconds.

[0368] In the case that the extreme difference information is greater than or equal to a preset extreme difference threshold, the plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 within the second preset time interval are obtained, and the extreme difference information corresponding to the second preset time interval is determined according to the plurality of weight values, and the number of loop executions is counted.

[0369] Specifically, the extreme difference information greater than or equal to the preset extreme difference threshold means that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state in this round and cannot normally perform the weighing work, so the previous step needs to be looped, that is, the extreme difference information within the second preset time interval is obtained again. For example: the preset extreme difference threshold can be 1 gram, when the extreme difference information is greater than or equal to 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, and the previous step needs to be looped.

[0370] In the case that the extreme difference information is less than the preset extreme difference threshold, or the number of loop executions is greater than a preset number threshold, it is determined whether the cooking device meets a preset condition.

[0371] Specifically, still taking the preset extreme difference threshold value of 1 gram as an example, when the extreme difference information is less than 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. Alternatively, in the case where the number of loop executions reaches a preset number threshold value, taking 0.5 seconds as an example for the second preset time interval, the preset number threshold value can be set to 6 times at this time, and when the number of loop executions reaches 6 times, it means that 3 seconds have passed. As described above, the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state 1-2 seconds after being normally pressed, and it can be considered that 3 seconds are sufficient for the weighing sensor 3 to recover to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. The preset number threshold value can be set according to the second preset time interval, and the product of the two should be at least greater than 2 seconds.

[0372] In the case where it is ensured that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work, the temperature of the pot body 12 can be measured to determine whether the cooking device meets the preset condition, and if so, step S304 is continued.

[0373] Embodiment Six

[0374] The embodiment provides a feeding method, which can be applied to the cooking device provided in embodiment one and the host 1 provided in embodiment two. When feeding is about to be performed, if the pot body 12 is in a state of heating and boiling, the boiling and rolling liquid will cause the weight value measured by the weighing sensor 3 to fluctuate constantly; and after the user presses the input assembly 18, the weighing sensor 3 will also fluctuate for a period of time. In order to ensure the accuracy of weighing, it is necessary to exclude the interference of boiling and pressure fluctuation, and to start feeding after the weighing sensor 3 recovers to a stable state.

[0375] Referring to FIG. 19, the feeding method of the present application comprises:

[0376] S402: In the case where the feeding instruction is received, a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in a preset time interval are obtained, and weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the preset time interval is determined according to the plurality of weight values.

[0377] Specifically, the weight value fluctuation information includes at least one of the extreme difference, the variance and the standard deviation. Through the plurality of weight values obtained in the preset time interval, it can be known whether the weighing sensor 3 recovers to a stable state. It can be understood that when the weight value fluctuation information of the plurality of weight values is too large, for example, the extreme difference is too large, it means that the current fluctuation is still significant and the weighing sensor 3 has not recovered to a stable state.

[0378] Taking the extreme value difference of the weight value fluctuation information as an example, the preset time interval can be 0.5 seconds, and the control unit can read the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 every 40 milliseconds, thereby generating 12-13 readings; the control unit can obtain the maximum value and the minimum value in these readings, and obtain the extreme value difference information by difference. The preset time interval should not be too long, and the second preset time interval can be between 0.1-1 seconds.

[0379] S404: In the case where the weight value fluctuation extreme value difference information is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the operation of obtaining the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 in the preset time interval again, and determining the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the preset time interval according to the plurality of weight values is performed again.

[0380] Specifically, the weight value fluctuation information greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold means that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state in this round, and cannot normally perform the weighing work, so the previous step needs to be recycled, that is, the weight value fluctuation information in the preset time interval is obtained again. Taking the extreme value difference of the weight value fluctuation information as an example, the preset extreme value difference threshold can be 1 gram, and when the extreme value difference is greater than or equal to 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, and the previous step needs to be recycled.

[0381] In an embodiment of the present application, the feeding method further comprises: in the case where the weight value fluctuation information is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, reducing the heating power. Specifically, the liquid in the pot body 12 is heated to boil, which causes the weighing fluctuation of the weighing sensor 3, so in the case where the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, the heating module 120 needs to be controlled to reduce the heating power, thereby reducing the temperature of the pot body 12 and eliminating the boiling state in the pot, thereby avoiding the influence of boiling on weighing.

[0382] Further, the feeding method further comprises: in the case where the weight value fluctuation extreme value difference information is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, stopping heating. As described above, in the case where the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, merely reducing the heating power can not be able to stop the boiling quickly, so the heating module 120 can be directly controlled to stop heating, thereby rapidly cooling. After the boiling stops, the influence of boiling will be eliminated, and then the feeding is performed, so that the weight of the feeding can be accurately weighed; after the feeding is completed, the heating module 120 can be controlled to resume heating, thereby continuing to cook.

[0383] S406: In the case where the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0384] Specifically, still taking the weight value fluctuation information as the extreme value difference and the preset extreme value difference threshold value as 1 gram as an example, when the extreme value difference information is less than 1 gram, it can be considered that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. In the case of ensuring that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work, the current weight can be obtained as the initial weight value, and then the control of the feeding device 2 is performed to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline. During the feeding process, the weight value increment needs to be obtained based on the initial weight value, so as to calculate the feeding weight. When the feeding weight reaches the target feeding weight input by the user through the input assembly 18, the feeding device 2 can be controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0385] In an embodiment of the present application, after the operation of obtaining the plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in the preset time interval and determining the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the preset time interval according to the plurality of weight values is performed again, the operation further includes: counting the number of cycles.

[0386] The feeding method further includes: in the case that the extreme value difference information of the weight value fluctuation is less than the preset extreme value difference threshold value of the weight value fluctuation, or the number of cycles is greater than the preset number threshold value, the control of the feeding device 2 is performed to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0387] Specifically, in the case that the pressing of the input assembly 18 causes fluctuation, for example: it is found through detection that the pot body 12 is not in the boiling state, only the weighing fluctuation caused by pressing needs to be eliminated. In the case that the number of cycles reaches the preset number threshold value, taking the preset time interval as 0.5 seconds for example, at this time the preset number threshold value can be set to 6 times, when the number of cycles reaches 6 times, it means that 3 seconds have passed. The weighing sensor 3 is usually in an unstable state 1-2 seconds after pressing is completed, and it can be considered that 3 seconds are enough for the weighing sensor 3 to recover to a stable state and can normally perform the weighing work. The preset number threshold value can be set according to the preset time interval, and the product of the two needs to be greater than 2 seconds.

[0391] In an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4, the feeding port 133 is arranged on the flip arm 131 and / or the cover 130, and the feeding port 133 extends through the cover 130 by the flip arm 131. When the cover 130 is covered, the feeding port 133 is located directly above the pot body 12, so that the seasoning can be automatically added into the pot body 12 through the feeding port 133, which improves the user experience. The feeding port 133 can be a component mounted on the cover 130 or the flip arm 131, or a component mounted on both the cover 130 and the flip arm 131. As shown in FIG. 4, the feeding port 133 in the present embodiment is mounted on both the cover 130 and the flip arm 131, and the feeding port 133 extends through the cover 130 by the flip arm 131, so that the seasoning can be fed into the pot body 12.

[0392] Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the feeding device 2 is used to supply the main machine 1 with seasoning, and the feeding device 2 comprises a seasoning storage device and a power mechanism. The seasoning in the seasoning storage device flows to the pot body 12 under the driving action of the power mechanism, and further, the seasoning in the seasoning storage device flows to the pot body 12 through the flip arm 131 and the feeding port 133 under the driving action of the power mechanism. Specifically, the seasoning storage device can be a seasoning bottle 21, and the power mechanism can be a peristaltic pump 23. The feeding device 2 comprises a cartridge housing 24, and at least one seasoning bottle 21 arranged inside the cartridge housing 24. The output port of the seasoning bottle 21 can be in communication with one end of a feeding pipe 22 inside the cartridge housing 24, and when feeding is needed, the other end of the feeding pipe 22 can deliver the seasoning stored in the seasoning bottle 21 to the outside of the feeding device 2 under the action of the peristaltic pump 23.

[0393] As shown in FIG. 3, the feeding device 2 can have multiple seasoning bottles 21, for example, the feeding device 2 in the present embodiment comprises five seasoning bottles, and the five seasoning bottles can be respectively used to store different seasonings, for example, respectively used to store edible oil, salt water, sugar water, soy sauce and vinegar. The specific number and content of the seasoning bottles 21 are not limited in the present application. It should be noted that the present application adopts the pipeline pumping mode to deliver the seasoning, so the seasoning stored in the seasoning bottle 21 is preferably in liquid state, so as to facilitate feeding.

[0394] Referring to FIGS. 1-3, the first connecting part is arranged on the base body, and the second connecting part is arranged on the feeding device 2. The feeding device 2 is connected with the main machine 1 through the first connecting part and the second connecting part. The first end of the feeding pipeline is connected with the main machine 1 through the first connecting part, and the second end of the feeding pipeline is connected with the feeding device 2 through the second connecting part. The first connecting part and the second connecting part are connected through plug-in connection, so that the first end and the second end of the feeding pipeline are in communication. It should be noted that the feeding pipeline can not be a complete pipeline, but a feeding path formed by a plurality of joints and a plurality of pipelines in sequence.

[0395] Specifically, the first connecting part is one of the male plug 20 and the female socket 10, the second connecting part is the other one of the male plug 20 and the female socket 10, and the male plug 20 is detachably plugged into the female socket 10. In the embodiment, the first connecting part is the female socket 10 arranged on the base body, and the second connecting part is the male plug 20 arranged on the feeding device 2. The male plug 20 protrudes from the box shell 24 and has a shape matched with the female socket 10.

[0396] One of the first connecting part and the second connecting part is provided with a quick plug 54, and the other one is provided with a quick plug interface 201. The quick plug 54 is detachably plugged into the quick plug interface 201. Specifically, in the embodiment, the male plug 20 is provided with the quick plug interface 201, which can be in communication with the output port of the feeding pipe 22 inside the feeding device 2, so that the feeding is performed outwardly from the quick plug interface 201. The female socket 10 is provided with the quick plug 54. When the male plug 20 is plugged into the female socket 10, a rigid connection is formed between the feeding device 2 and the base body of the main machine 1. The quick plug 54 can extend into the quick plug interface 201, and the seasoning can flow from the quick plug interface 201 into the quick plug 54. The quick plug 54 can be part of the feeding pipeline, and the feeding pipeline is in communication with the feeding device 2 through the quick plug 54. The seasoning enters the main machine 1 through the quick plug 54 and is continuously conveyed to the feeding opening 133 through the feeding pipeline inside the main machine 1 for feeding.

[0397] The application provides a cooking equipment in which the main machine 1 and the feeding device 2 are plugged together. Specifically, the first connecting part on the main machine 1 and the second connecting part on the feeding device 2 can be directly plugged together to form a rigid connection structure. The main machine 1 and the feeding device 2 no longer need to be connected by a flexible feeding pipe, thereby simplifying the accessories of the cooking equipment and reducing the cost of the cooking equipment. Further, the first connecting part is arranged on the base body of the main machine 1 instead of the turning arm 131, so that the feeding device 2 and the turning arm 131 are independent of each other, and interference between the turning arm 131 and the feeding device 2 is avoided. In the case where the feeding device 2 is plugged into the main machine 1, the turning arm 131 can still rotate relative to the base body to perform opening and closing operations, and the user does not need to frequently plug and unplug the feeding device 2, thereby improving the user experience.

[0398] In one embodiment of the present application, the male plug 20 can be provided with a plurality of quick plug interfaces 201, and the female socket 10 can be provided with a plurality of quick plug connectors 54. For example, the male plug 20 of the present embodiment is provided with five quick plug interfaces 201, and the female socket 10 is provided with five quick plug connectors 54, which are respectively matched with the five quick plug interfaces 201. As described above, the refilling device 2 of the present embodiment includes five seasoning bottles 21, each of which stores different seasoning. In order to ensure that the flavors do not mix during refilling, and to ensure the cleanliness of the feeding pipe 22, a feeding pipe 22 can be provided for each seasoning bottle 21. The five quick plug interfaces 201 can be respectively communicated with the five feeding pipes 22, so as to respectively feed the five seasonings into the five quick plug connectors 54. The present application does not limit the specific number of quick plug interfaces 201 and quick plug connectors 54, as long as the number and position of the quick plug interfaces 201 and the quick plug connectors 54 are matched with each other.

[0399] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the female socket 10 is provided with a first power connection part 103, and the male plug 20 is provided with a second power connection part 202. One of the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 can be a power connection head that protrudes outward, and the other can be a power connection hole that is matched with the former. When the male plug 20 is plugged into the female socket 10, the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 are connected together, thereby realizing the circuit connection and communication connection between the refilling device 2 and the main machine 1.

[0400] The first power connection part 103 is located above one of the quick plug connector 54 and the quick plug interface 201, and the second power connection part is located above the other. In the present embodiment, the first power connection part 103 can be located above the quick plug connector 54, and the second power connection part 202 can also be located above the quick plug interface 201. It can be understood that there can be residual seasoning at the quick plug connector 54 and the quick plug interface 201, which can flow or drip downward. By respectively arranging the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202 above the quick plug connector 54 and the quick plug interface 201, the seasoning can be effectively prevented from dripping onto the first power connection part 103 and the second power connection part 202, thereby preventing pollution and avoiding poor contact or short circuit during plugging.

[0401] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 7, the first connecting part includes a connecting part body and a bearing seat 19, wherein the bearing seat 19 is connected with the base body, the connecting part body is mounted on the bearing seat 19, and is in butt joint with the second connecting part. The first connecting part in this embodiment is the female socket 10, which includes a female socket body 100 and the bearing seat 19, and the female socket body 100 is connected with the base body through the bearing seat 19. The connecting part body and the bearing seat 19 have a movable freedom degree. In the case that the first connecting part is the female socket 10 and the second connecting part is the male plug 20, the male plug 20 can be fixedly arranged on the feeding device 2, and the female socket body 100 is allowed to have a certain movable freedom degree relative to the bearing seat 19; or the male plug 20 and the female socket body 100 can both have a certain movable freedom degree. Similarly, it can be known that when the first connecting part is the male plug 20 and the second connecting part is the female socket 10, the male plug 20 and / or the female socket 10 can also have a certain movable freedom degree.

[0402] Specifically, the connecting part body is mounted on the bearing seat 19 through a limiting assembly, and the limiting assembly has a movable freedom degree in the height direction. Referring to FIG. 13, the limiting assembly can be a screw 104 with a washer, and the female socket body 100 can be mounted on the bearing seat 19 through the screw 104. The bearing seat 19 can be provided with a mounting hole having a diameter slightly larger than that of the screw. As shown in FIG. 13, the screw 104 and the through hole have a certain movable gap 105 therebetween, so that the female socket body 100 can move up and down relative to the bearing seat 19. It can be understood that during the production process, the quick plug interface 201 of the male plug 20 and the quick plug connector 54 of the female socket body 100 can have a certain height deviation, which causes that the two cannot be smoothly plugged together. Therefore, the female socket body 100 having a certain movable space is arranged in the present embodiment, and when the quick plug interface 201 and the quick plug connector 54 cannot be accurately butt joint in height, the height position of the female socket body 100 can be slightly adjusted through the movable gap 105, so that the deviation caused by the production is avoided, and the flexibility is improved.

[0403] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIGS. 7 and 12, the base body includes the shell 11 and the bottom plate 16, and the side wall of the shell 11 is provided with an opening 111 for cooperating with the first connecting part. The first gap 101 is formed between the side wall of the first connecting part and the inner wall of the opening 111, and the second gap 102 is formed between the bottom of the first connecting part and the bottom plate 16, and the first gap 101 and the second gap 102 are communicated. During the use of the cooking device by the user, after the plugging of the feeding device 2, the mother socket 10 is prone to residual seasoning or oil and water. The liquid remaining in the mother socket 10 is prone to flow into the gap between the mother socket 10 and the shell 11 during the downward flow, causing the internal pollution of the main machine 1, which is difficult for the user to clean. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mother socket 10 is arranged at the lower position of the main machine 1, and the second gap 102 is formed between the mother socket 10 and the bottom plate 16, that is, the second gap 102 is formed between the bottom of the mother socket 10 and the bottom of the bottom plate 16, the second gap 102 is communicated with the first gap 101, and the residual liquid will not flow into the main machine 1 through the gap during the downward flow, but will flow downward to the bottom of the mother socket 10 or the bottom of the bottom plate 16, and then drop onto the countertop, which is convenient for the user to clean.

[0404] The above describes the specific structure and connection mode of the part of the feeding pipeline between the main machine 1 and the feeding device 2, and the specific structure and connection mode of the part of the feeding pipeline inside the main machine 1 are described below.

[0405] In the existing cooking device with automatic feeding function, the feeding device 2 and the main machine 1 are usually connected by a hose. In order to simplify the layout of the feeding pipeline in the main machine, the hose is usually connected to the turnover arm 131 of the main machine 1, and the hose can be bent along with the rotation angle of the turnover arm 131, so that only the feeding pipeline needs to be arranged on the turnover arm 131, and the feeding pipeline does not need to be arranged below the turnover arm 131 of the main machine 1, and the arrangement of the feeding pipeline at the rotating shaft 132 does not need to be considered. In the present application, the feeding device 2 and the main machine 1 are directly plugged, the first connecting part, the second connecting part and the feeding device 2 cannot rotate along with the rotation of the turnover arm 131, the feeding device 2 is directly plugged on the base body, and the feeding pipeline needs to extend from the first connecting part to the feeding opening 133 through the rotating shaft 132 and the turnover arm 131. It can be seen that the pipeline inside the main machine 1 needs to be redesigned.

[0406] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4, FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, the feeding pipe includes a first joint assembly 53 connected to the base body and located adjacent to the position of the turning arm 131, and further includes a first feeding pipe 51 located between the first joint assembly 53 and the feeding opening 133. The feeding pipe further includes a second feeding pipe 52 located between the first joint assembly 53 and the first connecting portion, one end of the second feeding pipe 52 is connected to the first joint assembly 53, and the other end extends towards the first connecting portion to be connected to the corresponding pipe joint provided on the first connecting portion, that is, to be connected to the quick plug joint 54 on the female socket 10. The ingredients from the ingredient feeding device 2 enter the main machine 1 through the quick plug joint 54, and then sequentially flow to the feeding opening 133 through the second feeding pipe 52, the first joint assembly 53, and the first feeding pipe 51, thereby realizing feeding.

[0407] In one embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 11, the feeding pipe further includes a second joint assembly 55, which can be provided at a position upstream of the feeding opening 133, one end of the first feeding pipe 51 is in communication with the first joint assembly 53, and the other end is in communication with the second joint assembly 55, thereby conveying the ingredients to the feeding opening 133 through the second joint assembly 55. In this embodiment, a feeding pipe is provided for each type of ingredient, but all of them will eventually be collected into the same feeding opening 133, so the present application can provide a second joint assembly 55 having multiple input ends and one output end, thereby collecting the terminal points of multiple feeding pipes together.

[0408] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10, a sleeve 17 can be provided on the base body, which can be sleeved at the connection position of the first joint assembly 53 and the first feeding pipe 51. The sleeve 17 strengthens the fixing of the first feeding pipe 51, and in addition, in the process of rotation of the rotating shaft 132, the first feeding pipe 51 will follow the deformation, thereby generating certain alternating stress, and the fixing of the sleeve 17 can effectively avoid damage to the first joint assembly 53, thereby prolonging the service life of the first joint assembly 53.

[0409] In one embodiment of the present application, the position where the first joint assembly 53 is used to connect with the second feeding pipe 52 is provided below the rotating shaft 132. It can be understood that in the process of rotation of the turning arm 131 and the cover 130 driven by the rotating shaft 132, part of the feeding pipe in the main machine 1 will be deformed and offset due to rotation. The present application provides the input joint of the first joint assembly 53 (that is, the joint used to connect with the second feeding pipe 52) below the rotating shaft 132, thereby ensuring that the second feeding pipe 52 is completely below the rotating shaft 132. The mutual spatial position of the first joint assembly 53 and the quick plug joint 54 is not affected by the rotation of the turning arm 131, thereby making the form of the second feeding pipe 52 fixed.

[0410] The rotation of the rotating shaft 132 will inevitably cause the first feeding pipe 51 connected to the output joint above the first joint assembly 53 to move. If the first feeding pipe 51 deforms excessively during the rotation, or if multiple first feeding pipes 51 are provided and the multiple first feeding pipes 51 are pressed against each other during the movement, the feeding process will be difficult. Therefore, the installation position of the first feeding pipe 51 needs to be designed.

[0411] In an embodiment of the present application, the first feeding pipe 51 comprises a first pipe segment extending along the length direction of the flip arm 131, a second pipe segment extending along the axial direction of the first joint assembly 53, and a third pipe segment connecting the first pipe segment and the second pipe segment and being curved. The length direction of the flip arm 131 is the horizontal direction, the axial direction of the first joint assembly 53 is the vertical direction, and the third pipe segment can connect the first pipe segment extending along the horizontal direction and the second pipe segment extending along the vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 10, the third pipe segment is curved at an approximate right angle. Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the third pipe segment is located at a position corresponding to the rotating shaft 132 in the height direction (i.e., at a position substantially flush with the height of the rotating shaft 132) or is located higher than the rotating shaft 132. That is, the third pipe segment of the first feeding pipe 51 is not lower than the height of the rotating axis. In this way, the first feeding pipe 51 has sufficient movement space and deformation space during the rotation of the flip arm 131.

[0412] As described above, since the present embodiment is provided with five seasoning bottles 21, five quick plug interfaces 201, and five quick plug joints 54, the second feeding pipe 52, the pipe joint of the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipe 51, and the pipe joint of the second joint assembly 55 can also be provided with five corresponding ones. The present application does not limit the specific number of the second feeding pipe 52, the pipe joint of the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipe 51, and the pipe joint of the second joint assembly 55, as long as they are matched with each other.

[0413] It can be understood that the first feeding pipes 51 connected to different pipe joints have different radii of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates. Specifically, the first feeding pipe 51 connected to the pipe joint farthest from the feeding port 133 has the largest radius of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates, and the first feeding pipe 51 connected to the pipe joint closest to the feeding port 133 has the smallest radius of rotation when the rotating shaft 132 rotates. In order to keep the multiple first feeding pipes 51 consistent in the degree of deformation during rotation and avoid excessive deformation and mutual pressing, the present application sets the multiple pipe joints of the first joint assembly 53 at different heights, thereby forming a height difference between the pipe joints and leaving sufficient deformation space for the five first feeding pipes 51.

[0414] In addition, by setting the plurality of pipe joints on the first joint assembly 53 at different heights, the distance from each pipe joint to the second joint assembly 55 is adjusted to be consistent, thereby causing the plurality of first feeding pipes 51 to maintain the same length. This makes the cooking device of the present application easier to produce, and the lengths of the plurality of first feeding pipes 51 are completely consistent, facilitating assembly by staff.

[0415] Scenario One

[0416] In a household scenario, a user uses the cooking device to cook. The user can add food materials to the pot body 12 when the cover 130 is turned away from the pot body 12, and the weighing sensor 3 can sense the change in the total weight of the pot body member, thereby weighing the food materials. The cooking device can cook when the cover 130 is closed to the pot body 12, and the cover 130 can prevent splashing during cooking.

[0417] During cooking, the user needs to add seasonings to the pot body 12. First, the user needs to install the feeding device 2 to the main machine 1, specifically, the user inserts the male plug 20 of the feeding device 2 to the female socket 10 on the support member of the main machine 1, so that the seasonings in the feeding device 2 can be delivered to the feeding port 133 of the main machine 1. Then the user can input the seasonings to be added and the target weight, and the peristaltic pump 23 in the feeding device 2 starts to work and pumps the seasonings out of the seasoning bottle 21.

[0418] Specifically, the seasonings pass through the feeding pipe 22, the quick plug interface 201, the quick plug joint 54, the second feeding pipe 52, the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipe 51, the second joint assembly 55, and the feeding port 133 in sequence. The quick plug joint 54 is arranged on the female socket 10, and the female socket 10 has a predetermined gap between the bearing seat 19 and the shell 11, so that the vibration generated by the feeding device 2 during feeding will not be transmitted to the pot body member. The seasonings are first delivered from the feeding device 2 to the support member of the main machine 1, and then to the pot body member, so that the feeding device 2 will not interfere with the weighing, ensuring the accuracy of each weighing, and further ensuring the accuracy of the calculated feeding weight.

[0419] The female socket 10 comprises a female socket body 100 and a bearing seat 19, and the female socket body 100 and the bearing seat 19 have a free degree of activity. The activity range of the female socket body 100 relative to the bearing seat 19 is limited by a predetermined gap, so that the force generated during the activity of the female socket body 100 can be blocked by the predetermined gap and cannot be transmitted to the pot member and cannot affect the weighing. When the quick plug interface 201 and the quick plug connector 54 cannot be accurately connected in height, the height position of the female socket body 100 can be slightly adjusted through the activity gap 105 arranged between the female socket body 100 and the bearing seat 19, so that the deviation caused by production is avoided, the host 1 is not subjected to external force in the height direction, and the accuracy of weighing is ensured.

[0420] The application realizes the functions of static weighing of the host 1 and ingredient weighing by using the weighing sensor 3 in the host 1, reduces the cost, and improves the user experience without additional weighing of the ingredients. The weighing sensor 3 in the host 1 can weigh the weight of the pot member, so as to weigh the food materials in the pot, thereby realizing the function of static weighing of the host 1. The feeding device 2 can supply the pot member with materials through the material supply pipeline. The feeding device 2 is connected with the host 1 through the first connecting part and the second connecting part. Since the material supply pipeline is partially fixed on the support member and has a predetermined gap between the first connecting part arranged on the support member and the pot member, the material supply pipeline only exerts force on the support member of the host during the feeding process and does not exert force on the pot member, so that the feeding process does not affect the weighing, and the weight of the material supply can be determined by the weight of the pot member weighed by the weighing sensor 3.

[0421] The input assembly 18 of the host 1, the pot 12 and the feeding device 2 are arranged in the first direction in sequence. It can be understood that the user needs to control through the input assembly 18 frequently during the use of the cooking device, but the user basically does not need to supplement the ingredients in the feeding device 2 during the cooking process. Therefore, the input assembly 18 is arranged on the front side close to the user, and the feeding device 2 is arranged on the rear side away from the user, so that the structure of the cooking device is further optimized and rationalized, and the user experience is improved.

[0422] The weighing sensor 3 can be provided with two, and the two weighing sensors 3 are arranged in the first direction in sequence. In this way, one of the weighing sensors 3 or the lower support frame 32 connected with the weighing sensor 3 can be arranged close to the feeding device 2, so as to facilitate the assembly of the feeding device 2 and the lower support frame 32. The vibration generated by the feeding device 2 will not be transmitted to the pot member, and the accuracy of the weighing sensor 3 in weighing the pot member is not interfered. In addition, the two weighing sensors 3 can jointly support the weight of the entire pot member, and the stability is improved.

[0423] The fixed end 302 and the force receiving end 301 of the two load sensors 3 arranged in the first direction extend in the second direction, so that the lower support frame 32 and the upper support frame 31 fixed at the fixed end 302 and the force receiving end 301 respectively also extend in the second direction. In this way, the length of the lower support frame 32 and the upper support frame 31 is shortened as much as possible, the processing difficulty is reduced, and the processing cost is reduced.

[0424] A controller 61 and a fan 62 can be arranged between the two load sensors 3. The fan 62 is arranged in the second direction away from the controller 61. The fan 62 forms an air flow that at least partially blows towards the controller 61 in the second direction, thereby achieving air cooling and heat dissipation of the controller 61. The fan 62 is arranged between the two load sensors 3 in the present application, so that the center of gravity of the fan 62 is centered, thereby improving the stability of the main machine 1. In this way, the main machine 1 will not vibrate when the fan 62 is working, so as not to affect the load sensor 3.

[0425] The main machine 1 includes a line assembly, which can include a power line 41, a cartridge connecting line 42, and various lines. The line assembly is provided with a fixing position on the support member, and the line assembly is fixed on the support member through the fixing position, so as to avoid the line assembly from transmitting vibration to the pot member. Even if the user touches or pulls the line assembly during use of the cooking device, the accuracy of the load sensor 3 will not be affected.

[0426] Application scenario two

[0427] The user wants to add 10 grams of soy sauce to the pot 12, and the cooking device will execute the following feeding method:

[0428] S102: Initial stage: determining the target feeding weight of the target seasoning; in the case that the cooking device meets the preset condition, obtaining the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval; controlling the feeding device to deliver the target seasoning to the main machine through the feeding pipe. Specifically, the user manually inputs the seasoning bottle index information of the soy sauce, and sets the target feeding weight to 10 grams.

[0429] After determining the target feeding weight of the target seasoning, the control unit obtains the temperature of the pot 12 in the main machine 1 through the NTC. At this time, the temperature of the pot 12 obtained by the NTC is greater than 100℃, which indicates that the pot 12 is in a boiling state, so it is determined that the cooking device meets the preset condition, and the weight loss due to evaporation of water vapor needs to be compensated, so as to avoid the problem of excessive feeding amount.

[0430] Obtaining the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval includes:

[0431] The first weight value and the second weight value based on the first preset time interval are obtained, and the unit evaporation weight information is determined according to the first preset time interval, the first weight value and the second weight value. The first weight value is 500 grams, the second weight value is 498 grams, the first preset time interval is 2 seconds, and the unit evaporation weight information at this time is 1 gram / second. 1 gram of water vapor will evaporate every second. The weight of the evaporation needs to be compensated for in the subsequent feeding process.

[0432] After the unit evaporation weight information is calculated, the feeding program can be started. Before starting to deliver the target seasoning, the step of the weighing stage needs to be performed.

[0433] S104: Weighing stage: the initial weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 is obtained, and the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline. The initial weight value is 496 grams, and the feeding device 2 starts to deliver soy sauce to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0434] S106: Calculation stage: in the case where the feeding duration reaches the preset duration threshold, the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor is obtained, and the added weight is calculated based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the unit evaporation weight information. Specifically, the preset duration threshold is 0.5 seconds, the current weight value obtained after 0.5 seconds of feeding is 500 grams, and the evaporation weight in 0.5 seconds is 0.5 grams. The calculation shows that the added weight is 500-496+0.5=4.5 grams.

[0435] S108: The current feeding strategy is determined according to the added weight and the target feeding weight; in the case where the current feeding strategy is continuous feeding, the feeding device is controlled to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline, and the calculation stage is continuously performed until the current feeding strategy is stopped feeding. By comparing the added weight and the target feeding weight, it can be judged whether the feeding is completed. Since the added weight 4.5 grams is less than the target feeding weight 10 grams, it is determined that the current feeding strategy is continuous feeding.

[0436] The feeding device 2 continuously delivers the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline, and repeatedly performs steps S106-S108, until the added weight calculated by step S106 at a certain time is greater than or equal to the target feeding weight. The feeding device 2 is controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0437] Application scenario three

[0438] A user wants to add 10 grams of soy sauce into the pot body 12, and sends an adding instruction by pressing the input assembly 18 on the pot body component. When the user operates the input assembly 18, the user will apply pressure to the pot body component, so that the weighing sensor 3 will be in an unstable state for 1-2 seconds after being pressed to the end. In order to ensure the accuracy of weighing, the weighing sensor 3 needs to be stable before starting to add ingredients.

[0439] The cooking device will perform the following adding method:

[0440] S202: In the case of receiving an adding instruction, obtain a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in a second preset time interval, and determine the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the second preset time interval according to the plurality of weight values.

[0441] The second preset time interval is 0.5 seconds, and the control unit reads the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 every 40 milliseconds, thereby generating 12-13 readings. The weight value fluctuation information can be the extreme difference, and the control unit can obtain the maximum and minimum values in these readings, and obtain the extreme difference by difference.

[0442] S204: In the case where the weight value fluctuation information is greater than or equal to a preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the operation of obtaining a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 in a second preset time interval, and determining the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the second preset time interval according to the plurality of weight values, and counting the number of times of loop execution.

[0443] As described above, the weight value fluctuation information is the extreme difference, and the preset weight value fluctuation threshold is the preset extreme difference threshold, which is 1 gram. The extreme difference obtained in the first round of measurement is greater than or equal to 1 gram, and the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state at this time, which needs to be looped to the previous step.

[0444] S206: In the case where the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, or the number of times of loop execution is greater than a preset number of times threshold, the control unit controls the adding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0445] In one case: when the number of times of loop execution reaches 3 times, that is, 1.5 seconds after pressing, the weight value fluctuation information, that is, the extreme difference, is less than 1 gram. At this time, the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, so it is considered that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform weighing work.

[0446] In another case: the preset number of times threshold is set to 6 times, and when the number of times of loop execution reaches 6 times, it means that 3 seconds have passed, so it is considered that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to a stable state and can normally perform weighing work.

[0447] In the case of ensuring that the weighing sensor 3 has recovered to be stable and the weighing work can be normally carried out, the current weight is obtained as the initial weight value, and then the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver the soy sauce to the main machine 1 through the feeding pipeline. In the feeding process, the weight increment based on the initial weight value is obtained, so that the feeding weight is calculated. When the feeding weight reaches the target feeding weight (i.e. 10 grams) input by the user through the input assembly 18, the feeding device 2 is controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0448] Application scenario four

[0449] The user wants to add 10 grams of soy sauce to the pot body 12, and the cooking equipment will execute the following feeding method:

[0450] S302: Determine the target feeding weight of the target seasoning. Specifically, the user manually inputs the seasoning bottle index information of the soy sauce, and sets the target feeding weight to 10 grams.

[0451] After determining the target feeding weight of the target seasoning, the control unit obtains the temperature of the pot body 12 in the main machine 1 through the NTC. At this time, the temperature of the pot body 12 obtained by the NTC is greater than 100℃, which indicates that the pot body 12 is in a boiling state, so it is determined that the cooking equipment meets the preset condition, and the weight loss due to the evaporation of water vapor needs to be compensated to avoid the problem of excessive feeding amount.

[0452] S304: In the case that the cooking equipment meets the preset condition, obtain the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval. Specifically, the unit evaporation weight information in the first preset time interval is obtained, including:

[0453] The first weight value and the second weight value based on the first preset time interval are obtained, and the unit evaporation weight information is determined according to the first preset time interval, the first weight value and the second weight value. The first weight value is 500 grams, the second weight value is 498 grams, the first preset time interval is 2 seconds, and the unit evaporation weight information at this time is 1 gram / second. 1 gram of water vapor will evaporate every second, and the weight of this evaporation needs to be compensated in the subsequent feeding process.

[0454] S306: Obtain the initial weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3, and control the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the main machine 1 through the feeding pipeline. The initial weight value is 496 grams, and the feeding device 2 delivers the soy sauce to the main machine 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0455] S308: In the case where the feeding time reaches the preset time threshold, the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 is obtained, and the current feeding strategy is determined based on the initial weight value, the current weight value and the target feeding weight. Specifically, the preset time threshold is 0.5 seconds, and the current weight value obtained after 0.5 seconds of starting feeding is 500 grams. The difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is 4 grams, and the target feeding weight is 10 grams. Since the difference between the current weight value and the initial weight value is less than the target feeding weight, it is determined that the current feeding strategy is continuous feeding.

[0456] S310: In the case where the current feeding strategy is continuous feeding, the target feeding weight is updated based on the unit evaporation weight information, and the operation of obtaining the current weight value weighed by the weighing sensor 3 in the case where the feeding time reaches the preset time threshold, and determining the current feeding strategy according to the initial weight value, the current weight value and the updated target feeding weight is continued. As mentioned above, the current weight value obtained in the first round is 500 grams, and the evaporation weight within the preset time threshold of 0.5 seconds is 0.5 grams. The target weight needs to be updated to 9.5 grams.

[0457] The feeding device 2 continuously delivers the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipe, and repeatedly executes steps S308-S110 until the current weight value obtained in step S308 of a certain time is greater than the last updated target feeding weight, that is, the feeding device 2 is controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0458] Application scenario five

[0459] The user wants to add 10 grams of soy sauce to the pot body 12. At this time, the pot body 12 is in a boiling state, which causes the weighing sensor 3 to be in an unstable state. In order to ensure the accuracy of the weighing, the feeding needs to be started after the weighing sensor 3 recovers to a stable state.

[0460] The cooking device will execute the following feeding method:

[0461] S402: In the case where the feeding instruction is received, a plurality of weight values of the weighing sensor 3 within a preset time interval are obtained, and weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the preset time interval is determined according to the plurality of weight values.

[0462] The second preset time interval is 0.5 seconds, and the control unit reads the weight value of the weighing sensor 3 every 40 milliseconds, thereby generating 12-13 readings. The weight value fluctuation information can be the extreme difference, and the control unit can obtain the maximum value and the minimum value in these readings, and obtain the extreme difference by difference.

[0463] S404: If the extreme difference information of weight value fluctuation is greater than or equal to the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, the operation of obtaining multiple weight values ​​of the weighing sensor 3 within the preset time interval and determining the weight value fluctuation information corresponding to the preset time interval based on the multiple weight values ​​is executed again.

[0464] As mentioned above, the weight value fluctuation information is the extreme value difference. The preset weight value fluctuation threshold, i.e. the preset extreme value difference threshold, is 1 gram. The extreme value difference obtained in the first round of measurement is greater than or equal to 1 gram. At this time, the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state and needs to repeat the previous step.

[0465] In one embodiment of this application, the feeding method further includes reducing the heating power when the weight fluctuation information is greater than or equal to a preset weight fluctuation threshold. If the weighing sensor 3 is still in an unstable state, the heating module 120 needs to be controlled to reduce the heating power, thereby lowering the temperature of the pot 12, eliminating the boiling state inside the pot, and thus avoiding the impact of boiling on the weighing.

[0466] S406: When the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold, control the feeding device 2 to deliver the target seasoning to the host 1 through the feeding pipeline.

[0467] After a certain cycle, the weight value fluctuation information, i.e. the extreme value difference, is less than 1 gram. At this time, the weight value fluctuation information is less than the preset weight value fluctuation threshold. Therefore, it is considered that the weighing sensor 3 has returned to a stable state and can perform weighing work normally.

[0468] Once the weighing sensor 3 has stabilized and can perform weighing operations normally, the current weight can be obtained as the initial weight value. Then, the feeding device 2 is controlled to deliver soy sauce to the main unit 1 through the feeding pipeline. During the feeding process, the weight increment needs to be obtained based on the initial weight value to calculate the added weight. When the added weight reaches the target added weight (i.e., 10 grams), the feeding device 2 can be controlled to stop delivering the target seasoning.

[0469] After the ingredients are added, the heating module 120 can be controlled to restore normal heating power, so that cooking can continue.

[0470] Application Scenario Six

[0471] In a home setting, users use cooking equipment to prepare meals. The main unit 1 of the cooking equipment includes a base and a tilting arm 131. The tilting arm 131 is hinged to the base via a pivot 132, allowing the lid 130 to either close onto or detach from the pot body 12. Users can add ingredients to the pot body 12 when the lid 130 is rotated to detach from the pot body 12. The cooking equipment can also perform cooking when the lid 130 is closed onto the pot body 12, and the lid 130 prevents splattering during cooking.

[0472] During the cooking process, the user needs to add seasonings into the pot 12. First, the user needs to install the seasoning device 2 to the main machine 1. Specifically, the main machine 1 is provided with a female socket 10, and the seasoning device 2 is provided with a male plug 20. The user inserts the male plug 20 into the female socket 10, so that the seasonings in the seasoning device 2 can be delivered to the feeding port 133 of the main machine 1. Then, the user can input the seasonings to be added and the target weight. The peristaltic pump 23 in the seasoning device 2 starts to work and pumps the seasonings out of the seasoning bottle 21.

[0473] The seasonings in the seasoning bottle 21 flow to the pot 12 through the feeding pipeline, the turning arm 131 and the feeding port 133 under the driving action of the peristaltic pump 23. Specifically, the seasonings flow through the feeding pipeline 22, the quick plug interface 201, the quick plug joint 54, the second feeding pipeline 52, the first joint assembly 53, the first feeding pipeline 51, the second joint assembly 55 and the feeding port 133 in sequence, and then enter the inside of the pot 12.

[0474] The present application provides a cooking device in which the main machine 1 and the seasoning device 2 are connected by plugging. Specifically, the first connecting part on the main machine 1 and the second connecting part on the seasoning device 2 can be directly plugged together to form a rigid connecting structure. The main machine 1 and the seasoning device 2 no longer need to be connected by a flexible feeding pipeline, thereby simplifying the accessories of the cooking device and reducing the cost of the cooking device. Further, the first connecting part is arranged on the base body of the main machine 1 instead of the turning arm 131, so that the seasoning device 2 and the turning arm 131 are independent of each other, and the mutual interference between the turning arm 131 and the seasoning device 2 is avoided. In the case that the seasoning device 2 is plugged to the main machine 1, the turning arm 131 can still rotate relative to the base body to perform the operations of opening and closing the lid, etc. The user does not need to frequently plug and unplug the seasoning device 2, thereby improving the user experience.

[0475] An embodiment of the present application further provides a computer readable storage medium, which stores computer programs / instructions, and the computer programs / instructions are executed by a processor to implement the steps of the seasoning method.

[0476] Each embodiment in the present application is described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts of each embodiment can be referred to each other. Each embodiment mainly describes the differences from other embodiments. In particular, the computer readable storage medium embodiment is basically similar to the seasoning method embodiment, and thus the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the seasoning method embodiment.
