Detailed Description

A plurality of hoses are incorporated into the peristaltic pump, and corresponding peristaltic mechanisms are arranged, so that a plurality of independent peristaltic pipelines can be made to adapt to different seasonings. The thickness of the hose should be different because the daily volume of different seasonings dispensed varies widely. Each hose is externally provided with an electromagnet, and the opening and closing of the hose are realized by extruding or releasing the hose through the operation of the electromagnet. After the feeding is finished, the peristaltic pump is reversed, and the residual seasonings in the hose can be sucked back to the seasoning bin to prevent dripping.

The seasoning bin is internally provided with a plurality of independent small bins which are respectively used for filling different seasonings, and the seasonings are manually added after being bought back by a user, which is very troublesome. The seasoning bin can also be a whole bottle of seasoning in a designated package, and the whole bottle of seasoning can be directly replaced after being bought, so that manual addition is not needed, and a bottle can be replaced after the whole bottle is used, which is convenient. The system may identify the segment type number on the seasoning package or the segment type number of the seasoning entered or modified by the user. No matter which kind of condiment storehouse, should have sign and prevent slow-witted design, prevent that the user from loading by mistake or adding wrong condiment. The automatic seasoning adding device is characterized in that a special seasoning bin is arranged, cleaning liquid is filled in the special seasoning bin, the automatic seasoning adding device can be cleaned after being installed, and the cleaning liquid can be different according to different seasoning bin positions.

The seasoning bin and the peristaltic pump have large equal volume, and the whole bottle of seasoning to be replaced may have heavy weight, so the whole bottle is generally arranged in a cabinet below a gas stove of a kitchen robot, the whole bottle is convenient to replace, and even can be replaced by a delivery person on the door, especially for cleaning service on the door. The user has the taste deviation of standard, lighter, heavier and the like, and can adapt to the deviation by finely adjusting the material taking amount.

The supporting arm is arranged on the wall beside the gas stove or above the wall, a seasoning throwing outlet is arranged on the supporting arm, and the supporting arm is connected with the peristaltic pump through a hose. The supporting arm can be automatically opened and folded to be retracted, and extends to the upper part of the pot to put in seasonings. The supporting arm is provided with a collision-proof device, so that the supporting arm can prevent other objects from being collided during operation, stop the operation and remind a user in case of collision, or automatically return. The support arm can also identify a seasoning feeding port on the pot cover, can run and be connected with the seasoning feeding port, so that seasoning can be fed under the condition that the pot cover is not opened, and the feeding port can be positioned by a magnet in an auxiliary way. The supporting arm can also be pulled out manually by a user, the type and the measurement of the seasoning can be controlled by the kitchen robot, the kitchen robot can record the position, the time, the type and the measurement of the manual feeding of the user, and the automatic feeding for the next time is convenient.

The control module is used for controlling the operation of the peristaltic pump, interacting with the kitchen robot and automatically putting the appointed seasoning types and the amount to the appointed position and time according to the control of the kitchen robot. Meanwhile, the remaining amount of the seasonings is checked, and the user is reminded of the need of purchasing the seasonings according to the average use amount of the user, dishes to be made, seasoning promotion information and the like, or the seasonings are automatically purchased under the authorization of the user, and the seasonings are overdue and the like. The type and the amount of the manually added seasonings can be recorded, and the manually added seasonings are stored in an intelligent menu and can be automatically put in next time.

Common solid seasonings such as salt, sugar, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and the like can be made into liquid in the future so as to adapt to the automatic adding function of the kitchen robot.

Automatic condiment in this patent adds the device and can independently come out, is applicable to the automatic equipment beyond the kitchen robot, like automatic cooking machine, perhaps user's manual stir-fry, all is in this patent protection scope.
