[0036] Step 110, receiving an instruction to purchase meals, the purchase instruction including additional information on the meals;

[0037] Step 120, judging whether the additional information of the meal contains heating information, and if so, controlling the manipulator to grab the meal from the freezing / refrigerating device into the heating device for heating;

[0038] Step 130, after the heating is completed, control the manipulator to grab the meal from the heating device into the heat preservation device, and the heat preservation device is connected to the delivery device;

[0039] Step 140 , judging whether the meals in the thermal insulation device are shipped within the preset time, if not, the robotic arm grabs the unshipped meals into the recycling room.

[0040] In t...

Embodiment 2

[0051] Such as figure 2 As shown, an automatic meal vending machine includes: a control unit, a freezing / refrigerating unit, a heating unit and a heat preservation unit;

[0052] The freezing / refrigerating unit is used for freezing / refrigerating storage of meals;

[0053] The heating unit is used to heat meals;

[0054] The heat preservation unit is used for heat preservation of the heated meals;

[0055] The control unit is configured to receive an instruction to purchase meals, determine whether the additional information of the meals contains heating information, and if so, control the manipulator to grab the meals from the freezing / refrigerating device into the heating device for heating After the heating is completed, the control manipulator grabs the meal from the heating device into the heat preservation device, and the heat preservation device is connected with the delivery device.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control unit includes: a manipulator, a first autom...

Embodiment 3

[0063] In this embodiment, the working time of the automatic meal vending machine is 7:30-22:30, and other time periods do not work, and a cycle is cycled every half an hour. If there is an order in the cycle, it will be executed, and if there is no order, it will be skipped. The embodiment takes a single cycle as an example. The customer chooses to pick up the goods at 12:15-12:30, and must place an order before 12:00. After the automatic meal vending machine receives the order to purchase the meal, the process is as follows:

[0064] 12:03-12:08 grab food: 12:03 freezing / refrigerating device automatically opens the door, in this embodiment, the freezing / refrigerating device is a refrigerator, and the closing time is determined by the number of grabbed meals Close the door, close the door at 12:08 at the latest, the robot grabs a meal, and the control unit also feeds back to the first automatic switch while counting. close the door;

[0065] 12:08-12:15 Heating food: at 12:0...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of vending equipment and in particular to a method and machine for food automatically selling. The method includes receiving a food purchasing command which includes additional information of food; judging whether the additional food information includes heating information or not, if yes, controlling a mechanical arm to pick up the food from a freezing or cold storing device and transfer the food a heating device for heating; after heating, controlling the mechanical arm to pick up the food from the heating device and transfer the food a thermal insulation device connected with a delivering device; judging whether the food in the thermal insulation device is delivered within the preset-time, and if not, picking up the undelivered food and transferring the same to a recycling place by the mechanical arm. The functions of freezing / cold storing, heating and thermal preserving are integrated, and the quality of the food can be guaranteed in long time. The machine which is convenient and quick has the advantages that space is more reasonably utilized by adopting the mechanical arm to pick up food, the size of the machine is decreased and the cost is lowered as compared with the existing belt conveyors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic vending equipment, in particular to a method for automatically vending meals and an automatic meal vending machine.
