[0031] The invention provides a meal ordering device.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the invention, the ordering device includes: a selection mechanism 300, a transport tube 200 and a collection mechanism 400, wherein the selection mechanism 300 is arranged outside the ordering table 100; the selection mechanism 300 includes a placement box 301, in which at least one color of identification balls 120 are placed, and the placement box 301 has a ball taking port; the transport tube 200 has a feeding end 201 and a discharging end 202, and the transport tube 200 crosses the ordering table 100 so that the feeding end 201 is located outside the ordering table 100 and the discharging end 202 is located outside the ordering table 100. The end 202 is located on the inner side of the ordering counter 100, and the feeding end 201 is close to the placement box 301; the collecting mechanism 400 is arranged on the inner side of the ordering counter 100; the collecting mechanism 400 includes a collecting box 401 and a releasing component 402, the collecting box 401 is arranged below the discharging end 202, and the top of the collecting box 401 has a ball inlet corresponding to the position of the discharging end 202, the transport tube 200 is used to transport the marking ball 120 from the feeding end 201 to the discharging end 202, and the releasing component 402 is used to open or close the discharging end 202.

[0033] In the present invention, the diners are on the outside of the ordering table 100, and the chef is on the inside of the ordering table 100. When queuing up to order food, the diners put the marking balls 120 of the corresponding colors of the desired food into the feeding end 201 of the transport tube 200. The marking balls 120 pass through the transport tube 200 and move to the discharging end 202. The chef takes out the marking balls 120 through the release component 402 to know what food the diners want to eat and prepares it. The marking balls 120 fall into the collection box 401. After the food is ready, it is directly brought to the window, and the diners can directly pick up the food. There is no need to queue up during the ordering process, and the diners can quickly pick up the food, which saves a lot of time and avoids the problem of complicated ordering process.

[0034] The scene in this embodiment is taken as an example of a canteen, and the dish is taken as an example of noodles. Different colored marking balls 120 correspond to different types of noodles. After the diners put the marking balls 120 into the transport tube 200 through the feed end 201, they can line up at the window, and the length of the transport tube 200 can be adjusted adaptively. When the diners line up in a long queue, the marking balls 120 in the transport tube 200 will also be arranged in order. At this time, the diners in the queue correspond to the marking balls 120 they put into the transport tube 200. The chef prepares noodles according to the color sequence of the marking balls 120 and gives the noodles to the corresponding diners through the window.

[0035] The chef can observe the food corresponding to the marking ball 120 at the discharge end 202 in the transport tube 200 and prepare it. After the chef is finished preparing, the marking ball 120 is dropped into the collection box 401 through the release component 402. In order to improve efficiency, the chef can drop multiple marking balls 120 into the collection box 401 at one time through the release component 402, and the chef remembers the color and prepares it.

[0036] Specifically, the ball taking opening of the placement box 301 is opened on the upper surface. The transport tube 200 is a straight tube, and the feeding end of the transport tube 200 is located above the placement box 301, which is convenient for diners to take the marking ball 120 and put it into the transport tube 200. The collection box 401 is rectangular, and the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200 is located above the collection box 401, so the marking ball 120 can be directly dropped into the collection box 401 through the release component 402.

[0037] In order to facilitate the chef to observe the number and color of the marking balls 120 in the collection box 401, the collection box 401 is made of a transparent material. The material of the collection box 401 includes but is not limited to glass and transparent plastic.

[0038] Furthermore, the transport tube 200 is a transparent tube, and marking balls 120 of different colors are arranged in the transparent tube. The chef can directly observe the marking balls 120 in the transport tube 200 to know what food should be cooked next, which is convenient for the chef to serve food quickly, improves efficiency, avoids diners waiting for a long time, and speeds up ordering.

[0039] In one embodiment, the transport tube 200 is a round tube, and the inner diameter of the transport tube 200 is slightly larger than the diameter of the marking ball 120. The marking ball 120 can roll in the transport tube 200. In order to prevent the marking ball 120 from getting stuck in the transport tube 200, the diameters of all the marking balls 120 are the same.

[0040] In another embodiment, the transport tube 200 is semi-enclosed, that is, the transport tube 200 is U-shaped or semicircular. The marking ball 120 is exposed, and when the diner suddenly changes his mind or does not want to eat, the diner can take out or replace the marking ball 120 he has chosen from the transport tube 200, which is convenient for the diner to choose flexibly. It also avoids the problem of waste caused by the marking ball 120 being put in and the food being prepared, but the diner does not want to eat it.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Further, the release assembly 402 includes a blocking block 4021 and an elastic reset member 4022. The blocking block 4021 is movably disposed at the ball inlet of the collection box 401. The blocking block 4021 is used to open the discharge end 202 to block the identification ball 120 from passing through. One end of the elastic reset member 4022 is disposed at the collection box 401, and the other end is disposed on the blocking block 4021. The identification balls 120 enter the transport tube 200 and are arranged in sequence at the discharge end 202. In a natural state, the blocking block 4021 blocks the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200. Under the action of an external force, the blocking block 4021 can move and break away from blocking the identification ball 120. When the external force is lost, the blocking block 4021 is pulled under the action of the elastic reset member 4022 to continue to block the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200.

[0042] Further, the release assembly 402 also includes a support 403, and the collection box 401 is arranged on the support 403; the blocking block 4021 is provided with a rotating shaft 404, and the rotating shaft 404 is rotatably connected to the support 40,. The support 403 has a receiving cavity for placing the collection box 401, and the collection box 401 is detachably placed inside the receiving cavity of the support 403. The top of the support 403 is higher than the ball inlet of the collection box 401, and a shaft sleeve is fixed on the top of the support 403 and away from the side of the transport tube 200, and the rotating shaft 404 is penetrated and rotated in the shaft sleeve. The rotating shaft 404 is horizontally arranged and perpendicular to the length direction of the transport tube 200. The blocking block 4021 is fixed to the middle part of the rotating shaft 404. In this embodiment, the elastic reset member 4022 is a tension spring, one end of which is fixed to the side of the rotating shaft 404 close to the blocking block 4021, and the other end is fixed to the support 403. In another embodiment of the present invention, the elastic reset member 4022 is a rubber band.

[0043] Furthermore, a guide rod 500 is also provided at the top of the support 403. The guide rod 500 is parallel to the rotating shaft 404 and is located above the side of the rotating shaft 404 away from the transport tube 200. The tension spring bypasses the top of the guide rod 500. One end of the tension spring away from the rotating shaft 404 is fixed on the support 403 below the guide rod 500. The tension spring is guided by the guide rod 500 to improve the tightness of the tension spring. In the absence of external force, the tension spring drives the rotating shaft 404 to drive the blocking block 4021 to always block the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200. When the rotating shaft 404 is manually rotated, the rotating shaft 404 can drive the blocking block 4021 to rotate, and the blocking block 4021 is separated from the blocking of the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200. After the rotating shaft 404 is released, the blocking block 4021 is pulled back to its original position under the action of the tension spring, and the blocking block 4021 blocks the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200 again.

[0044] Furthermore, a servo motor, a timer and a second controller are provided on the support 403. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the rotating shaft 404. The timer is electrically connected to the servo motor and the second controller. The timer is set to time, and the timer sends an electrical signal to the second controller. The second controller controls the output shaft of the servo motor to rotate at intervals. The output shaft of the servo motor drives the rotating shaft 404 to rotate so that the blocking block 4021 loses the limit on the discharge end 202 of the transport tube 200, so that the marking ball 120 falls into the collection box 401. The marking ball 120 can be automatically controlled to fall into the collection box 401 according to the time of cooking food, and the chef does not need to manually control the marking ball 120 to fall, which is convenient for manual operation.

[0045] Furthermore, the collection mechanism 400 also includes a statistical component 600, which includes a color sensor 601, a counter, a first controller 602 and a display screen 603. The color sensor 601 and the counter are both electrically connected to the first controller 602, and the first controller 602 is electrically connected to the display screen 603. The color sensor 601 is used to identify the color of the identification ball 120 and send the color information to the first controller 602; the counter is used to record the number of identification balls 120 entering the collection box 401 from the ball inlet and send it to the first controller 602; the first controller 602 is used to receive the color information and quantity information, and control the display screen 603 to display the received color information and the corresponding quantity information. When the number of diners is large, multiple identification balls 120 can be released, and the color sensor 601 and the counter respectively record the number and color of the identification balls 120. The data is sorted and displayed on the display screen 603 through the first controller 602. The chef can observe the display screen 603 to know the needs of the diners so that multiple chefs can prepare at the same time, thereby increasing the speed of ordering and serving dishes and improving efficiency.

[0046] Specifically, the collection box 401 is set on the wall, and the display screen 603, the counter, the first controller 602 and the color sensor 601 are all fixed on the wall.

[0047] Furthermore, the selection mechanism 300 further includes a frame 700, and the transport tube 200 and the placement box 301 are both placed on the frame 700. In order to facilitate the installation of the transport tube 200 and the placement box 301, the transport tube 200 and the placement box 301 are supported by the frame 700, and the placement box 301 and the transport tube 200 are at a certain distance from the ground, so that it is convenient for manual picking up of the marking ball 120 and putting it into the transport tube 200.

[0048] Specifically, a plurality of running wheels 701 are further provided at the bottom of the rack 700, and the running wheels 701 facilitate the movement of the rack 700, the placement box 301 and the transport tube 200. In this embodiment, the bottom of the rack 700 is rectangular, and the running wheels 701 are universal wheels. There are four running wheels 701 and they are respectively fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the rack 700. The universal wheels have various angles, which facilitates people to move the rack 700. In other embodiments of the present invention, the running wheels 701 may be ordinary wheels.

[0049] In order to facilitate the smooth passage of the marking ball 120 through the transport tube 200, the transport tube 200 is tilted, and the feed end 201 is higher than the discharge end 202. The marking ball 120 is manually put into the feed end of the transport tube 200, and under the action of gravity, the marking ball 120 rolls toward the discharge end 202 in the transport tube 200.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Further, the placement box 301 is composed of a plurality of placement boxes 3011, and the identification balls 120 of different colors are respectively placed in different placement boxes 3011. The plurality of placement boxes 3011 distinguish the identification balls 120 of different colors, making it convenient for diners to select.

[0051] Specifically, the plurality of placement boxes 3011 are rectangular boxes with an opening on the upper surface, and the plurality of placement boxes 3011 are arranged in sequence.

[0052] Furthermore, the collection mechanism 400 further includes a recycling assembly 800, which includes a recycling box 801 and a baffle 802. The recycling box 801 is connected to the collection box 401 through a recycling pipe 803, and the baffle 802 is used to open or close the recycling pipe 803. The marking ball 120 can be recycled to the recycling box 801 through the recycling assembly 800, which is convenient for manual processing.

[0053] Specifically, the recycling box 801 is arranged below the placement box 301, and the recycling box 801 can be detachably placed on the rack 700. The recycling pipe 803 is a round pipe, and one end is connected and communicated with the bottom of the collection box 401, and the other end is connected and communicated with the recycling box 801. The end of the recycling pipe 803 close to the collection box 401 is higher than the end close to the recycling box 801. The inner diameter of the recycling pipe is slightly larger than the diameter of the marking ball 120. The baffle 802 is plugged into one side of the collection box 401, and the marking ball 120 is blocked by the baffle 802. When the baffle 802 is pulled out, the marking ball 120 passes through the recycling pipe 803 and enters the recycling box 801. The balls in the recycling box 801 can be manually classified and placed in the corresponding placement box 3011, which is convenient for manual recycling of the marking balls 120 and improves work efficiency. Or when there are too many diners and there are no marking balls 120 in the placement box 3011 , the diners can directly take the marking balls 120 from the recycling box 801 .

[0054] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Furthermore, a first display board 900 is provided on one side of the placement box 301, and a second display board 110 is provided on one side of the collection box 401; the names of the foods corresponding to the colors of the identification balls 120 are indicated on the first display board 900 and the second display board 110. The first display board 900 and the second display board 110 both display the names of the foods corresponding to the colors of the identification balls 120, which facilitates diners to select the foods they want to eat, and prevents the chef from forgetting the foods corresponding to the identification balls 120 and making wrong dishes.

[0055] Specifically, the first display board 900 is fixed on the frame 700 and is located at the side of each placement box 3011. The second display board 110 is fixed on the wall beside the collection box 401.

[0056] Furthermore, the collecting mechanism 400 further includes a blowing member (not shown) for blowing the marking ball 120 at the feeding end 201 to the discharging end 202. When the marking ball 120 is stuck in the transport tube 200, the marking ball 120 can be blown through the transport tube 200 by the blowing member.

[0057] Specifically, the blower can be a hair dryer or an air blower, and the air outlet of the blowing part is opposite to the feeding end of the transport tube 200. After the marking ball 120 is placed in the feeding end of the transport tube 200, the blowing part blows the marking ball 120 toward the discharging end 202.

[0058] In the present invention, when diners need to order food, they select the corresponding color of the marking ball 120 according to the food displayed on the second display board 110. The diners put the marking ball 120 into the feeding end of the transport tube 200, and the marking ball 120 passes through the transport tube 200 and moves to the discharging end 202 under the action of gravity. The chef prepares the corresponding food according to the marking ball 120.
