Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic vending machines, and in particular to a quick-frozen noodle thawing, cooking and vending machine. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, more and more places will use vending machines. For example, patent announcement document CN211087380U discloses an unmanned quick-frozen noodle thawing and cooking vending machine, which freezes noodles in advance and then heats them in a microwave oven before selling them. Since this unmanned vending machine is heated by a microwave oven, and microwave heating is generated by a magnetron, high frequency, so that the internal molecules of food within a certain range vibrate at high speed, thereby causing the internal heat of the food, the noodles heated by the microwave oven will lose the original moisture inside, and once the moisture inside the noodles is lost, even if the noodles are brewed in soup later, they still cannot be restored to their original elasticity, because in the process of making noodles, after the flour is mixed with water, glutenin and glutenin gradually absorb water and swell, adhere to each other, and form a continuous membrane matrix that crosses and combines with each other, forming a three-dimensional gluten network structure with certain elasticity, extensibility, viscosity and plasticity, and the moisture in the noodles leaves the noodles during the heating process of the microwave oven, so that glutenin and glutenin are dehydrated, and the network structure of gluten is destroyed. Even if the soup is heated again later, the gluten network structure in the noodles cannot be formed again. This causes food heated in the microwave to feel dry, especially for pasta. The loss of water in the pasta will make the chewing feel worse. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] As attached Figure 1 and 2As shown, a quick-frozen noodle thawing, cooking and vending machine includes a cabinet 8, a freezer and a manipulator. The cabinet 8 is provided with a delivery port 3. The freezer is arranged in the cabinet 8. The manipulator is arranged in the cabinet 8. The cabinet 8 is provided with a delivery door. It also includes a steam boiler 12, a water storage mechanism and an injection rod 11. The steam boiler 12 is arranged in the cabinet 8. The water storage mechanism is arranged in the cabinet 8 and connected to the steam boiler 12. The injection rod 11 is movably arranged in the cabinet 8.

[0043] In this vending machine, by setting a steam boiler 12, a water storage mechanism and an injection rod 11, when the manipulator takes the frozen barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 out of the freezer, the steam boiler 12 heats the water provided by the water storage mechanism, adds water and heats it into steam, and then inputs it into the injection rod 11, and then the injection rod 11 moves to pierce the cover of the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10, and the steam enters the barrel containing the quick-frozen noodles through the injection rod 11, and the quick-frozen noodles are thawed by steam. Compared with thawing in a microwave oven, this vending machine uses steam thawing, so that the water in the noodles will not be lost during the thawing process, and the noodles obtained after thawing have good elasticity and better rejection. In addition, the quick-frozen noodles are thawed by steam in this vending machine. Compared with thawing in hot water, steam thawing is thawed in a relatively dry environment, and it is less likely for the noodles to form clumps during the thawing process.

[0044] Specifically, in the present embodiment, the freezer is a freezer with a temperature of minus 23 degrees Celsius. At this low temperature, most microorganisms cannot grow and reproduce, so that the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 can have a longer storage time.

[0045] A stepper motor 26 is fixedly installed in the specific cabinet 8, and the injection rod 11 is a hard injection rod 11 (can be made of metal, such as a 304 stainless steel tube). The injection rod 11 is installed on the shaft of the stepper motor 26. The shaft extension and retraction of the stepper motor 26 can drive the injection rod 11 to move. The injection rod 11 is connected to the steam boiler 12 by an elastic metal tube.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steam boiler 12 heats the water to 140 degrees Celsius, and then the water is passed into the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 for thawing.

[0047] The barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 include a barrel body (which can be made of paper or heat-resistant plastic) and a film (a composite film of paper and polypropylene plastic film). The noodles are placed in the barrel body, and the film is covered at the barrel mouth of the barrel body. The film can be pierced by an injection rod 11.

[0048] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in FIG. 8 , a hot water boiler 13 is further included. The hot water boiler 13 is connected to the water storage mechanism, and the hot water boiler 13 is connected to the injection rod 11 .

[0049] The hot water boiler 13 is used to heat the water stored in the water storage mechanism, and then the hot water is poured into the thawed barreled noodles to form soup noodles. Specifically, the hot water boiler 13 is connected to the injection rod 11 through an elastic metal pipe, and both the hot water boiler 13 and the steam boiler 12 are equipped with electromagnetic valves, which control whether hot water or steam can enter the injection rod 11 through their own switches.

[0050] The specific water storage mechanism can be a water bucket 7. The water storage mechanism is connected to the steam boiler 12 and the hot water boiler 13 through a water pump 29, and the water pump 29 transports the water stored in the water storage mechanism to the steam boiler 12 or the hot water boiler 13.

[0051] As attached Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3, 4 and 5, a wastewater collection mechanism may be optionally included, and the wastewater collection mechanism is arranged on one side of the injection rod 11.

[0052] Because when steam and hot water are injected into the bottled noodles, the wastewater collection mechanism is used to collect the overflow water generated during the steam and hot water injection process. The specific wastewater collection mechanism includes a funnel 24 and a wastewater collection box 25. The funnel 24 and the wastewater collection box 25 are both fixedly arranged in the cabinet 8. One end of the funnel 24 is located in the wastewater collection box 25. The wastewater collected by the funnel 24 directly enters the wastewater collection box 25.

[0053] As attached Figure 2 and 6 As shown, the freezer is provided with shelves.

[0054] The shelf is used to store barreled quick-frozen noodles 10.

[0055] The specific shelf includes a rotating column 4 and a plurality of noodle bowl brackets 5. The noodle bowl brackets 5 are arranged on the rotating column 4, and the rotating column 4 is rotatably arranged in the cabinet 8. A motor for driving the rotating column 4 to rotate is installed in the cabinet 8. The noodle bowl brackets 5 are arranged and distributed on the rotating column 4. The noodle bowl brackets 5 are used to clamp the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10. When in use, the quick-frozen noodles are clamped on the noodle bowl brackets 5. The rotating column 4 can rotate the noodle bowl brackets 5 to the manipulator through its own rotation, so that the manipulator can pick up the goods.

[0056] As attached Figure 2 , 3 As shown in , 4 and 5 , a noodle cooking chamber 9 is provided in the cabinet 8 , and the noodle cooking chamber 9 is located on one side of the delivery port 3 .

[0057] The noodle cooking chamber 9 is used to place the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10. The noodle cooking chamber 9 is in the shape of a square tube, and a hole is provided on the wall of the noodle cooking chamber 9. The injection rod 11 can enter and exit the noodle cooking chamber 9 through the hole on the wall of the noodle cooking chamber 9, so that the injection rod 11 can pass steam or hot water into the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10.

[0058] A push plate 14 is installed on one side of the specific noodle cooking chamber 9 through a motor or a cylinder. The function of the motor or the cylinder is to push the push plate 14 to move. When the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 are taken out of the freezer by the robot, the motor or the cylinder starts to push the push plate 14 to move and push the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 into the noodle cooking chamber 9. After the thawing and heating of the noodles are completed, the push plate 14 continues to push the barreled noodles until the barreled noodles are pushed out of the noodle cooking chamber 9 (i.e., the delivery port 3 of the cabinet 8). Specifically, a water leakage hole 28 is provided on the bottom wall of the noodle cooking chamber 9, and two raised strips 27 are also provided at the bottom of the noodle cooking chamber 9. The two raised strips 27 are in a parallel state. When the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 are placed on the noodle cooking chamber 9, the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 are in contact with the raised strips 27 but not with the bottom of the noodle cooking chamber 9. This ensures that the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 will not be frozen on the noodle cooking chamber 9 when the push plate 14 pushes the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 to the noodle cooking chamber 9, because during the heating process of the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 , it is inevitable that water droplets will remain at the bottom. If the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 (the temperature is minus 23 degrees Celsius when just taken out of the freezer), the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 at minus 23 degrees Celsius will be instantly frozen and fixed on the noodle cooking chamber 9 when they touch the water, so a raised strip 27 is provided. The raised strip 27 is semi-cylindrical, and the raised strip 27 will not stick to water droplets. Therefore, during the process of thawing the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10, it can be ensured that the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10 are frozen on the raised strip 27.

[0059] Specifically, the funnel 24 is arranged outside the noodle cooking chamber 9 , and the funnel 24 is located below the water leakage hole 28 . Waste water generated during the thawing and heating process directly enters the funnel 24 through the water leakage hole 28 , and then enters the waste water collection box 25 after entering the funnel 24 .

[0060] As attached Figure 2 and 6 As shown, it also includes a lifting guide rail 6, which is installed in the cabinet 8 and the manipulator is installed on the lifting guide rail 6.

[0061] The specific manipulator includes a mounting plate 16, a rotating motor and a mechanical arm 15. The rotating motor is fixed on the mounting plate 16, the mechanical arm 15 is fixed on the shaft of the rotating motor, the mounting plate 16 is slidably mounted on the lifting guide rail 6, the lifting motor is installed in the cabinet 8, the lifting motor is connected to the mounting plate 16 through a synchronous belt, and the lifting motor rotates to achieve the sliding of the mounting plate 16 along the lifting guide rail 6 by winding or releasing the synchronous belt. Of course, as an alternative embodiment, a lead screw can be used to replace the lifting guide rail 6, and the mounting plate 16 is directly fixed on the slider of the lead screw. When the motor of the lead screw itself works, it can drive the shaft of the lead screw to rotate, so that the mounting plate 16 moves with the slider.

[0062] A photoelectric detector 21 is also installed on the specific mounting plate 16, and the photoelectric detector 21 is used to detect the position of the rotating robotic arm. At the same time, a barcode scanner 23 is also installed on the mounting plate 16, and the function of the barcode scanner 23 is to scan the barcode information on the barreled quick-frozen noodles 10. The rotating motor is also connected to an encoder 22, and the encoder 22 can program and control the rotating motor.

[0063] As attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, it also includes a control host 2, which is arranged in the cabinet 8 and is electrically connected to the manipulator, the freezer and the steam boiler 12.

[0064] Specifically, the freezer, the steam boiler 12 , the hot water boiler 13 , the solenoid valves, various motors and various electric cylinders are all operated and controlled by the control host 2 .

[0065] As attached Figure 6 As shown, an entrance / exit 19 is provided on the freezer, and a heat preservation door 18 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the freezer.

[0066] Specifically, the thermal insulation door 18 is slidably installed on the outer wall of the freezer through wheels and guide rails. A door opening and closing motor is also installed on the thermal insulation door 18. The door opening and closing motor cooperates with the wheels. The door opening and closing motor drives the wheels to rotate to realize the movement of the thermal insulation door 18 on the outer wall of the freezer, thereby using the thermal insulation door 18 to block or open the exit / entrance 19. When the exit / entrance 19 is opened, the robot sends the barreled frozen noodles out of the freezer and then closes the thermal insulation door 18.

[0067] Specifically in this embodiment, the electrical equipment (such as motors) installed in the freezer are wrapped with a layer of thermal insulation cotton. At the same time, in order to avoid frost in the freezer, a dewatering mechanism is further provided in the freezer to ensure that the freezer is a water-free environment and avoid freezing in the freezer.

[0068] Specifically, in the vending machine provided in this embodiment, the control host has a built-in wireless communication module, and the wireless communication module in the control host is connected to the antenna 1 (the antenna 1 is located outside the cabinet 8).
