Intelligent dish-conveying and table-tidying system for restaurant

Abstract

The invention relates to an intelligent dish-conveying and table-tidying system for a restaurant. The system comprises a dish-conveying device and a tableware recovery and table top cleaning device, wherein the dish-conveying device comprises a dish-conveying track, a dish-conveying trolley which is arranged on the dish-conveying track and can move along the dish-conveying track and a dish-conveying lifting mechanism installed on the dish-conveying trolley, and dish-conveying trays used for carrying dish plates are arranged on the dish-conveying lifting mechanism; and the tableware recovery and table top cleaning device comprises a table-tidying trolley track located below the dish-conveying track, a tableware recovery trolley which is arranged on the table-tidying trolley track and can move along the table-tidying trolley track and a tableware recovery box arranged on the tableware recovery trolley, robot carrying tracks are further arranged at two sides of the tableware recovery box,and a table top tidying robot capable of moving back and forth between the robot carrying tracks and tables is carried on the robot carrying tracks. Compared with the prior art, the system has both atable-tidying function and a dish-conveying function, the dish-conveying process is smooth and fast, and customer experience is comfortable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of table delivery and reception equipment for restaurants, and relates to a dish delivery and reception system for intelligent restaurants. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of social economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the catering industry is becoming more and more prosperous, but the industry competition under the prosperity is also more intense, especially the continuous improvement of the social employment environment, and the human resources of the catering industry are becoming more and more The high mobility of personnel in the catering industry has always been difficult to overcome, and labor costs are also rising year by year. Labor costs account for an important part of the cost of catering companies, and its deep human and management costs are difficult to estimate. [0003] With the emergence of smart restaurants, the above-mentioned labor costs and o...

Problems solved by technology

However, the food delivery system in the existing smart restaurant only has the function of delivering food, and cannot also have the function of closing the table at the same time, which undoubtedly requires manual operation or another mechanism for cleaning the table, which will undoubtedly increase the operating cost of the restaurant , and it is impossible to truly realize the unmanned restaurant model

In addition, existing smart restaurants generally use food delivery robots that drive on the ground, which walk on the ground through magnetic strip navigation, laser navigation, two-dimensional code inertial navigation, etc., and deliver dishes from the kitchen to the dining table. There are the following disadvantages when delivering dishes: 1. Walking on the restaurant floor will be restricted by the dining table and other items on the restaurant floor, and it is necessary to bypass the dining table and other items to plan, which will lead to tortuous walking routes and affect the speed of food delivery; 2. The robot walking routes of each institute will inevitably intersect. When the lines are busy, there may be robots walking on each line. In order to avoid collisions at each intersection, one robot must go first and the other robots will pause. This further affects The speed of food delivery; 3. There will be customers or service personnel walking on the route that the robot walks, especially children. For safety, the robot will perform obstacle avoidance actions when it encounters people, and it will also execute the stop walking command when there are many pedestrians around. Affecting the walking pace of the robot, it is often forced to pause or avoid obstacles, which will seriously affect the speed of food delivery. At the same time, due to the lag of the control system, collisions between customers and walking robots sometimes occur. Certain dangers; 4. The position of the dish cannot be adjusted during the dish transfer process, so after the dish is transferred to the target table, the customer still has the problem of leaving the position to take the dish, resulting in poor customer experience
