Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automated kitchens, and in particular to an intelligent unmanned kitchen. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, the automation and intelligence of kitchen cooking equipment has become a trend. Traditional restaurants have gradually begun to use cooking machines to save manpower. More complex fully automatic smart kitchens are still in the research and development stage and are also the key research direction in this technical field.
[0003] The existing cooking machines are only semi-automatic cooking machines, which still require human-machine collaboration and can only share part of the chef's work. It is impossible to realize the fully automatic intelligent operation of the core process in the kitchen, nor is it possible to realize the automatic operation of multiple cooking devices at the same time during the kitchen peak hours. There are still problems such as high labor costs, food hygiene and safety, and difficulty in satisfying everyone. The intelligence of the kitchen needs to be improved.
[0004] In addition, a smart kitchen with a Chinese patent application publication number of CN109441148A, although it realizes the fully automated operation of the kitchen, does not have a seasoning adding device. The use of sauce packets instead of independent addition of solid seasonings and liquid seasonings has changed the traditional cooking process and caused the food to taste bad. Moreover, the amount of ingredients and sauce packets in each side dish box set is fixed, and it is difficult to satisfy customers. It is impossible to change the combination of ingredient types, ingredient amounts and seasonings according to customer needs. Such a smart kitchen has achieved simple automation at the cost of changing the cooking process of dishes and sacrificing customer experience. Summary of the invention

[0032] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "mounted on", "fixed on" or "disposed on" another component, it may be directly on the other component or there may be a central component at the same time. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be a central component at the same time.
[0033] It should also be noted that the directional terms such as left, right, up, down, front, and back in the embodiments of the present invention are merely relative concepts or are based on the normal use status of the product and should not be considered as restrictive.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent unmanned kitchen, including a food box storage device 1, a shared food adding device 2, a cooking cluster device 3 and a shared seasoning adding device 4. The food box storage device 1 includes a storage rack 11 with multiple storage layers 12, each storage layer 12 is divided into multiple inclined storage slides 13 by a partition, and each storage slide 13 can hold multiple food boxes 15. The shared food adding device 2 includes a linear slide rail 22 parallel to the food box storage device 1, a mechanical arm 23 connected to the linear slide rail 22, and a material picking mechanism 23 at the end of the mechanical arm 23, and the material picking mechanism 23 is a component that grabs the food box 15 by clamping, sucking, supporting or hooking. The cooking cluster device 3 includes at least two cooking devices 31, and the cooking device 31 includes at least a stir-fry mechanism and a cleaning mechanism 312. The stir-fry mechanism includes a wok 3111, a heater 3112 and a flipping component 3113. The wok 3111 is installed on the flipping component 3113. The flipping component 3113 can drive the wok 3111 to rotate to a specific angle to complete the actions of receiving ingredients, seasoning, stir-frying, pouring vegetables and washing the pot. The heater 3112 is used to heat the wok 3111, and the cleaning mechanism is arranged below the stir-fry mechanism. All cooking devices are arranged in a straight line and parallel to the shared food adding device 2. The linear slide rail 21 and the mechanical arm 22 of the shared food adding device 2 drive the material taking mechanism 23 to move, grab the specified food box 15 and send the food into the specified cooking device. The shared seasoning adding device 4 at least comprises a linear slide rail 41 parallel to the cooking cluster device 3 and a solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 and a liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 connected to the linear slide rail 41. The seasoning mechanism can move to the vicinity of each cooking device on the linear slide rail 41 to add seasoning to the wok 3111. When the wok 3111 finishes cooking, the food is poured into the serving mechanism, and the cleaning mechanism completes the final pot washing work, and the cooking work of a single portion of food in the kitchen is completed.
[0035] Furthermore, the food box storage device 1 includes a storage rack 11, on which a plurality of inclined storage layers 12 are arranged, and each storage layer 12 is provided with a plurality of rows of storage slides 13, on which a conveying roller base can be provided, and a plurality of food boxes are compactly arranged on the conveying roller base 14. In the actual operation of the kitchen, the food is pre-processed, and generally, the food placed in each food box carried on a single row of storage slides is of the same type and quantity. When the shared food adding device 2 takes away a food box at one end of a row of storage slides of a certain storage layer, the other food boxes on the row of storage slides slide down along the slides under the action of gravity, and the empty space of the taken food box is replenished, which ensures that the food taking position of the shared food adding device 2 is fixed.
[0036] Furthermore, the shared food adding device 2 can add food to several cooking devices working at the same time. Among them, the robot arm is installed on the linear slide rail 21 and can move horizontally on the linear slide rail 21. The robot arm can adopt a six-axis robot arm, so the material taking mechanism at the end of the robot arm can reach each column of storage slides 13 on each storage layer 12 in the storage rack 11. The food box 15 can have a box cover. After the material taking mechanism 23 removes the box cover, it grabs the food box 15 and pours the food in the food box 15 into the wok 3111 in the designated cooking device. The shared food adding device 2 can complete the side dish process by grabbing food boxes at different positions on the storage rack 11 and putting them into multiple woks working at the same time. The empty food boxes generated during the adding process can be placed aside by the robot arm for subsequent centralized processing.
[0037] Furthermore, the cooking cluster device 3 includes at least two cooking devices 31, all of which are arranged in a straight line and parallel to the shared food adding device 2. The cooking cluster device 3 uses the cooking cluster devices to operate simultaneously, which can greatly improve the cooking efficiency. The cooking device 31 is used to cook the food to be processed and turn it into a dish. The cooking device 31 includes a stir-fry mechanism and a cleaning mechanism. The stir-fry mechanism is used to stir-fry the prepared ingredients. It includes a wok 3111, a heater 3112, and a flipping component 3113. The wok 3111 is mounted on the flipping component 3113. The heater 3112 is close to the outer wall of the wok 3111. The flipping component 313 is used to drive the wok 3111 to rotate and flip up and down (the flipping component can be driven by two axes. This embodiment uses a horizontal axis to control the up and down flipping, and a longitudinal axis to control the wok's self-rotation). The heater 3112 is used to heat the wok 3111. Preferably, the heater 3112 used in the present invention is an electromagnetic heater, which adopts a heating method without open flames and harmful radiation. In a preferred embodiment, the heater 3112 can adopt a single-sided heating method of a common electric ceramic stove or an electromagnetic cooker. In another preferred embodiment, it can also be close to the outer wall, such as Figure 5As shown, the heater 3112 includes a circular inner shell 31121, a circular outer shell 31122 and an electromagnetic coil 31123, the circular inner shell 31121 and the circular outer shell 31122 are made of non-magnetic conductive materials, the wok 3111 contains magnetic conductive materials, the electromagnetic coil 31123 is spirally wound on the circular inner shell 31122, the circular outer shell 31121 is sleeved on the outside of the electromagnetic coil 31123, the inner wall of the circular inner shell 31121 can generally be made of black crystal glass, which is wear-resistant and heat-insulating, and a high-frequency current is connected externally to generate a changing magnetic field through the induction coil, which produces an electromagnetic heating effect on the wok 3111 sleeved on the inside. This heating method heats more evenly, has lower heat loss, and saves energy and electricity. Specifically, the wok 3111 is generally cylindrical, the heater 3112 is annular and the cylindrical wok is placed in the middle, the bottom end of the wok 3111 is connected to the flip part 3113, and when the wok 3111 is cooking, the wok 3111 rotates back and forth and swings up and down to achieve uniform heating and stir-frying of the ingredients in the pot. In particular, the wok 3111 swings back and forth to achieve a similar technique to flipping the pot in cooking, so that the high-temperature ingredients are thrown into the air to quickly cool down and absorb a small amount of water during the cooking process, so that stir-fried dishes can be made. It should be noted that the up and down swinging of the wok 3111 of the present invention when cooking is limited to a certain angle range, that is, the wok 3111 is adjusted back and forth between a vertical state and an inclined state. In addition, preferably, a water injection port (not shown in the figure) is provided above the wok 3111, which is used to inject water into the pot to pour soup when cooking.
[0038] Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism is provided below the cooking device 31, and the cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank 3121 and a cleaning nozzle 3122. The cleaning tank 3121 is located below the wok 3111, and is used to receive the soup, residue and cleaning mixture that fall out of the wok 3111. The nozzle of the cleaning nozzle 3122 points to the wok 3111 above, and is used to spray high-pressure water or cleaning liquid to clean the inner wall of the wok. Specifically, a pressure pump (not numbered in the figure) for boosting pressure is provided on the water pipe connected to the cleaning nozzle 3122. When the wok 3111 needs to be cleaned, the wok 3111 is turned over so that the pot mouth points downward. In this embodiment, the cleaning nozzle 3122 is installed in the cleaning tank 3121. At this time, the cleaning nozzle 3122 is facing the pot of the wok 3111 and starts to spray high-pressure water into the pot. At the same time, the wok 3111 starts to rotate at high speed (it should be noted that the rotation of the pot body at this time is not continuous rotation in a fixed direction, and this rotation can be back and forth and intermittent). The water sprayed in the pot body collides violently with the inner wall of the wok 3111 and forms a vortex, which peels off the residue and oil droplets in the pot from the inner wall, and is thrown out of the pot body under the action of gravity and falls into the cleaning tank 3121 below to achieve a clean effect. This cleaning method is time-saving and has a high cleaning rate. Generally, no chemical cleaning liquid is needed, and clean water can be used for cleaning, which is conducive to green environmental protection. Preferably, the cleaning mechanism may further include a sink residue processor 3123, which is disposed on the water outlet pipe of the cleaning tank 3121. The sink residue processor 3123 is used to crush the residue cleaned. Specifically, the sink residue processor 3123 of this embodiment is disposed below the cleaning tank 3121 to prevent food residues from clogging the water pipe or sewer after a long time.
[0039] Please also read Figures 1 to 7Furthermore, a shared seasoning adding device 4 is provided above the wok 3111, and the shared seasoning adding device 4 includes a linear slide 41, a solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 and a liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43, the solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 and the liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 are installed on the linear slide 41 and can be displaced on the linear slide 41, and the movement path of the solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 and the liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 is related to the position arrangement of the wok 3111 below. In this embodiment, each wok 3111 is arranged in a row, and the linear slide 41 above is a horizontal translation track. When a wok 3111 needs to add seasoning, the required seasoning adding mechanism moves to the top of the wok 3111 and feeds the wok 3111 according to the dosage. In this way, each wok 3111 can share a set of seasoning adding devices, avoiding the trouble of setting a single seasoning adding device, achieving structural simplification, and reducing production costs. It should be noted that the linear guide rail 41 is used to realize the planar linear movement of components and belongs to the prior art. Therefore, the specific structure of the linear guide rail 41 will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 includes a plurality of solid seasoning bottles 422 which are distributed in a circle and can rotate around the center of the circle, and a solid material rotating platform 421. The solid seasoning bottle 422 can be detachably mounted on the rotating platform 421 to facilitate the replenishment and replacement of seasonings. The solid seasoning bottle 422 has a built-in motor and adopts a grinding discharging method to discharge materials. The discharge nozzle is located at the bottom of the solid seasoning bottle 422. When the solid seasoning bottle 422 switched to the discharge port of the solid material rotating platform 421 needs to discharge materials, its motor is started and the discharge nozzle starts to operate, so that the solid particles in the bottle are ground into powder, and then separated from the discharge nozzle of the solid seasoning bottle 422 and fall into the wok 3111 below; in addition, a screw propeller can also be used at the bottom of the solid seasoning container to deliver the seasoning by the rotation of the horizontally placed screw propeller. The liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 includes a plurality of liquid seasoning bottles 432 which are distributed in a circle and can rotate around the center of the circle, and a liquid material rotating platform 431. The liquid seasoning bottles 432 are detachably mounted on the liquid material rotating platform 431 to facilitate the replenishment and replacement of seasonings. The liquid seasoning bottle 432 adopts an extrusion discharging method, which can be specifically adopted by a spring pressing pump discharging method or a peristaltic pump pressing a hose discharging method. A motor can also be arranged inside the bottle body to drive the extrusion feeding (an external drive method can also be adopted). Similarly, the discharging nozzle of the liquid seasoning bottle 432 is also at the bottom. When the liquid seasoning bottle 432 which is switched to the discharging port of the liquid material rotating platform 431 needs to be discharged, its motor is started, and the liquid in the pump in the bottle is squeezed (the liquid in the piston pressing pump or the peristaltic pump is squeezed), and then a certain amount of liquid passes through the discharging nozzle of the seasoning discharging bottle and falls into the frying pan 3111 below to achieve quantitative discharging.The shared seasoning adding device 4 of the present invention is composed of a liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 and a solid seasoning adding mechanism 42, so that the present invention can not only share solid seasonings, such as salt, mustard, monosodium glutamate, spices, etc., but also share liquid seasonings, such as vinegar, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. The liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 and the solid seasoning adding mechanism 42 work together to achieve accurate seasoning delivery, so as to facilitate the quantitative production of dishes. Preferably, a protective cover body (not numbered in the figure) is provided on each of the liquid seasoning adding mechanism 43 and the solid seasoning adding mechanism 42, and the protective cover body can be transparent (for easy observation) to play a certain isolation role.
[0040] Furthermore, the cooking device 31 further comprises a dish serving mechanism, which is arranged below the wok 3111. The dish serving mechanism comprises at least one receiving component 3131 for placing a dish plate and a rotating rod 3132. The receiving component 3131 is mounted on the rotating rod 3132, and the rotating rod 3132 is used to drive the receiving component 3131 to move. In this embodiment, the rotating rod 3132 is connected to one side of the receiving component 3131. When the stir-frying mechanism 311 finishes cooking, the flipping component 3113 drives the wok 3111 to flip, so that the pot mouth of the wok 3111 gradually tilts downward, completing the tipping action, and the dishes in the pot fall into the dish plate on the receiving component 3131 below. At this time, the rotating rod 3132 starts to rotate 180 degrees, moving the dish plate to the other side for the staff to take the food. At the same time, the wok 3111 enters the cleaning process.
[0041] Furthermore, the cooking device 31 further includes an oil fume extraction mechanism 314, which is disposed above the wok 3111 and is used to extract the oil fume generated during cooking. Specifically, in this embodiment, the cooking cluster device 3 further includes a rack 34, and the stir-frying mechanism 311, the cleaning mechanism 312, the shared seasoning adding device 4, the dish serving mechanism 313 and the oil fume extraction mechanism 314 are all installed on the rack 34. Preferably, the rack 34 is also provided with a plurality of displays 315, which correspond to the cooking devices one by one, and are used to display information such as dishes to be taken, dishes being prepared and dishes to be prepared.
[0042] In summary, the present invention provides an intelligent unmanned kitchen, which is composed of a food box storage device, a shared food adding device, a cooking cluster device and a shared seasoning adding device. Among them, the food box storage device stores food in a number of food boxes by category, and the shared food adding device transfers the food in the food box to the wok in the cooking cluster device. By repeatedly transferring food boxes at different positions on the food rack, the process of preparing dishes according to ratio, quantity and category is realized. At this time, the food transfer and preparation mechanism continues to prepare dishes in another wok, and the wok that has just been prepared starts to operate at this time, and the cooking process of the materials is realized through self-rotation and swinging of a certain amplitude. In this process, the shared seasoning adding device above the wok moves to the top of the wok, and quantitatively puts different types of solid seasonings or liquid seasonings required for making dishes into the wok. If the cooking process needs to be added Soup processing, the water injection port above the wok can inject soup into the pot. After the cooking is completed, the wok is driven by the flipping component to tilt downward, and the dishes in the pot are poured into the dish plate on the dish serving mechanism below. After the dish is served, the receiving component of the dish serving mechanism rotates to the other side, and the corresponding display shows that the dish is completed, reminding to take the dish. Then, the wok continues to flip downward and enters the cleaning state. The cleaning nozzle sprays high-pressure water into the pot. At the same time, the pot body rotates, so that the pot body is quickly cleaned under high temperature and high impact. The residual waste water left by the cleaning is collected through the cleaning tank and discharged into the sewer after being processed by the water tank residue processor, and the wok flips to the initial position to start processing the next dish. The present invention adopts multiple woks to operate in parallel, has high cooking efficiency, fast cleaning speed, and high cleaning rate. At the same time, from taking materials to making finished products, continuous and cyclic full-automatic operation is further improved. The cooking efficiency is further improved. In addition, a shared seasoning adding device is adopted, which is conducive to simplifying the product structure and saving production costs. The present invention can adopt different operating parameters for making different dishes through cloud and terminal linkage control, realize the intelligent operation of the product, create a new business model for traditional restaurants, and open a new chapter in the intelligent era.
