The specific implementation mode is as follows:

the solid seasoning is made into blocky seasoning particles, preferably in the shape of round beads, and the outer surface of the blocky seasoning particles is dry and comfortable, is not easy to fall off scraps, is not sticky, is clear and not sticky, is not easy to be wetted, becomes hard and sticky or is adhered with a seasoning bin, a material taking device, a conduit, a discharge port or a crushing device and the like, and if necessary, the outer surface of the blocky seasoning particles can be coated with a layer of outer skin like sugar coating of tablets. The seasoning particles can be made slightly larger or smaller to form different taste effects, such as standard taste, light taste and heavy taste.

The seasoning bin is used for placing various seasonings, each seasoning has a corresponding bin position, the system has the seasoning type preset for each bin position, and a user can change the seasoning corresponding to the bin position. The user can add the seasonings to the conventional bin or put the newly bought seasonings into the whole bag or bottle, so that the trouble of adding the seasonings is avoided. The damaged seasoning particles are thrown into the waste bin, and the seasoning in the waste bin can be automatically flushed into a sewer by a kitchen robot or manually processed by a user, so that the waste bin full reminding function is required.

The counting dispenser is a dispenser capable of controlling the quantity, which takes the seasoning according to the quantity from the seasoning bin and loads the seasoning into the conduit.

The conduit is a pipeline for conveying the seasonings from the material taking device to the material outlet, and the inside of the conduit is smooth and is not adhered to the seasonings, so that the spherical seasoning particles can roll in the conduit. The seasoning particles can be rolled out in a natural mode of gravity without power, or air pressure is added, so that the seasoning particles are blown out by air flow, and meanwhile, the scraps falling from the seasoning particles can be blown away.

After the seasonings are mixed at the discharge port, the seasonings can be directly put in the mixer or crushed into powder and then put in the mixer according to needs. The outlet should have a manually or automatically openable sealing cover to prevent the ingress of water and moist air.

The conduit supporting arm is a robot arm which can be unfolded and folded and retracted, the supporting arm is installed on a kitchen robot, and the conduit, the discharge port and the crushing device are installed on the supporting arm. The supporting arms can be automatically or manually opened and combined, and extend to the upper part of the pot, the seasoning port of the pot cover or a designated position for adding seasoning. Can be integrated with the supporting arm of the automatic liquid seasoning adding device.

The control module is used for interacting with the kitchen robot, adding seasonings under the control of the kitchen robot, detecting allowance, and prompting purchase or automatic purchase. 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.

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.
