The material containing device 1 is arranged on the shell 3 and is used for containing liquid seasonings to be thrown in, the liquid seasonings can be in the shape of a round bottle as shown in figure 1 or in other shapes, the top of the material containing device is provided with a cover 12, the bottom of the material containing device is funnel-shaped, the lower part of the funnel-shaped material containing device is provided with a discharge hole 11, the liquid seasonings can be poured in by opening the cover 12 on the material containing device when the material containing device is used, and the discharge hole 11 is in butt joint with the upper end opening.

The operation parameter acquiring device is an encoder, for example, the encoder is connected to the motor and used for acquiring the operation parameters of the motor in real time and feeding the operation parameters back to the control board, and the control board controls the operation time of the motor based on the operation parameters and according to the required seasoning amount and the pre-calculated blanking amount in unit time so as to quantitatively blanking according to the required seasoning amount.

Specifically, the encoder can be a hall encoder, is arranged at the tail of the motor, is connected with the control panel through an output signal connecting terminal of the hall encoder, is used for acquiring the running parameters of the motor such as the rotating speed, the forward and reverse rotation and the like of the motor in real time, and transmits the running parameters to the control panel. The control panel can be a control panel designed for the putting device independently, in some embodiments, the control panel can also be a control panel of the integrated cooker, a user can input the type and the using amount of seasonings to be put through an input panel, if the control panel is the control panel of the intelligent integrated cooker, the user can directly input a menu, and the control panel can read various liquid seasonings and the using amount of the seasonings in the menu. After knowing the seasoning amount, the control board can calculate the motor running time according to the pre-calculated blanking amount per unit time and the current required putting amount. The calculation process of the blanking amount in unit time is, for example, after the rotating speed of the motor is set, the motor is started to carry out blanking, the blanking amount in unit time at the rotating speed is obtained by dividing the total blanking amount in a certain preset period of time by the preset time, and when the seasoning is actually put in, the control panel can obtain the time required for the motor to run by dividing the blanking amount in unit time by the seasoning amount as long as the required amount of the corresponding seasoning is known at the rotating speed of the motor. It should be understood that, since the control of the motor speed is complicated, in the embodiment, the motor speed can be preset, and there is no need to additionally control the motor speed. When quantitative blanking is carried out, the motor is preset to operate at a certain rotating speed, and then the blanking amount in unit time is calculated, so that the calculation process of quantitative blanking is simplified.

The extrusion mechanism 6 extrudes the preset position of the blanking channel 5 once when rotating a certain angle in the rotating process, so that the pressure difference is generated between the lower cavity of the blanking channel 5 and the inner cavity of the material containing device 1, liquid seasoning is discharged from the material containing device 1, and the liquid seasoning in the upper cavity of the blanking channel 5 flows downwards in the current extrusion and next extrusion period.
