Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food machinery technology, and specifically relates to a noodle cooking machine that automatically adds toppings. Background Technology

[0002] As people's pace of life accelerates, more and more automated food vending machines are appearing on the market. These machines have greatly facilitated people's lives, especially for busy young people.

[0003] Patent application CN202010923116.8 discloses a food vending device. This device includes a dispensing mechanism, a cooking mechanism, a bowl-delivering mechanism, and a transport mechanism. The dispensing mechanism stores and dispenses ingredients to be cooked. The cooking mechanism cooks the ingredients dispensed by the dispensing mechanism. The bowl-delivering mechanism stores and dispenses bowls to the serving station. The transport mechanism is movably positioned between the cooking mechanism and the serving station to transport the cooked food to the bowls. This invention allows food (such as noodles) to be cooked immediately upon purchase, maintaining its freshness.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device cannot automatically pick up the noodle raw materials for cooking, automatically pick up the topping container for opening and adding the toppings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic noodle cooking machine that can automatically pick up raw materials for cooking, automatically pick up bowls, and add toppings and cooked food.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:

[0007] An automatic topping noodle cooking machine includes a machine body, which is equipped with a refrigerator for placing material trays, a noodle cooking furnace, a noodle feeding robot, a material feeding robot, and a material box for placing material boxes containing toppings. The machine body is also equipped with a double bowl feeding mechanism and a breaking mechanism for breaking the material box. A serving mechanism is provided on the bowl-out side of the double bowl feeding mechanism.

[0008] The present invention's noodle-feeding robot retrieves a material box containing noodle ingredients from a freezer and pours the noodles into a noodle cooker for cooking. A dual-bowl delivery mechanism retrieves either a takeout bowl or a regular bowl and delivers it to the food adding position, where the noodle-feeding robot pours the cooked noodles into the bowl. A material-feeding robot retrieves a material box containing toppings from a material box compartment and delivers it to a breaking mechanism for breaking. The material-feeding robot then adds the toppings from the broken material box to the bowl, and finally transfers the bowl containing noodles and toppings to a serving mechanism for serving. This invention automatically retrieves noodle ingredients for cooking, automatically delivers takeout or regular bowls, and automatically retrieves and breaks open a material box containing toppings to add toppings, achieving full automation of the noodle cooking, topping addition, and serving process without manual operation.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the freezer includes a freezer body, a drive mechanism is installed inside the freezer body, the output end of the drive mechanism is connected to a rotating disk, a plurality of placement seats for stacking material trays are provided on the rotating disk, and an annular bracket for limiting the material trays is provided in the middle of the rotating disk; a plurality of baffles are also installed on the rotating disk, and the baffles are located on the side of the material tray away from the annular bracket.

[0010] The rotating tray has several placement seats that can hold multiple stacks of material trays, making full use of the freezer space. A drive mechanism rotates the rotating tray, allowing each stack of material trays to rotate to the side of the freezer door for easy access by a robotic arm. A ring-shaped support helps to upright each stack of material trays, preventing them from collapsing. A stop bar limits the material trays away from the ring-shaped support, preventing them from tilting to that side.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the double bowl delivery mechanism includes a bowl area worktable, which is installed inside the machine body. A noodle-turning funnel is installed on the bowl outlet side of the bowl area worktable. The bowl area worktable is provided with takeaway bowl dropping holes and regular bowl dropping holes. A bowl dropper is installed at the takeaway bowl dropping holes of the bowl area worktable. Bowl support mechanisms are installed on both sides of the regular bowl dropping holes of the bowl area worktable. A conveyor is installed on the upper part of the machine body. The conveyor is located on the lower side of the bowl area worktable. A bracket is installed at the output end of the conveyor.

[0012] The takeout bowls are dropped onto the conveyor's tray by a bowl dropper, and regular bowls are dropped onto the tray by releasing the bowl-holding mechanism. The conveyor then transports either the takeout bowls or regular bowls to the bottom of the noodle-making funnel, thus enabling separate transport of takeout bowls and regular bowls. When transporting regular bowls, the bowl-holding mechanism is released, allowing a stack of regular bowls to fall onto the tray. Then, the bowl-holding mechanism is closed, supporting the second-to-last layer of bowls and above, allowing the bottom layer of bowls to separate from the mechanism, facilitating the conveyor to remove the tray containing the bottom layer of regular bowls. This invention uses a bowl dropper and a bowl-holding mechanism to separately transport takeout bowls and regular bowls. Its simple structure eliminates the need for complex devices and procedures, ensuring reliability during use.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bowl-feeding rack is further equipped with an electric push rod. A top plate is fixed to the piston rod of the electric push rod, and the electric push rod is located directly below the regular bowl dropping hole. The bracket is provided with a support hole through which the top plate of the electric push rod passes. When the bracket moves below the regular bowl, the electric push rod is activated, and the top plate of the electric push rod passes through the support hole of the bracket and supports the regular bowl. Then, the bowl-supporting mechanism is released, and the top plate is lowered a certain distance by the electric push rod, aligning the second-to-last layer of regular bowls with the bowl-supporting mechanism. The bowl-supporting mechanism is then closed, supporting the second-to-last layer and above of bowls. The top plate is lowered by the electric push rod, and the bottom layer of regular bowls separates from the top layer and falls onto the bracket. At this time, the regular bowls can be conveyed to the next position by a conveyor. When picking up the regular bowls, the top plate supports the regular bowls to prevent them from falling directly onto the bracket and breaking.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bowl-supporting mechanism includes a bowl-supporting cylinder mounted on the worktable of the bowl area. A push plate is connected to the piston rod of the bowl-supporting cylinder, and a bowl support plate for supporting a regular bowl is fixed on the push plate. When the piston rod of the bowl-supporting cylinder extends, the push plate drives the bowl support plate to extend, thereby enabling the bowl support plate to support a regular bowl.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inverted funnel includes an upper conical funnel, the upper opening diameter of which is larger than the lower opening diameter, a lower conical funnel connected to the lower end of the upper conical funnel, the upper opening diameter of which is smaller than the lower opening diameter, and a drip tray with annular shape provided on the lower side of the lower conical funnel.

[0016] After the cooked noodles are poured into the upper conical hopper, they slide down the conical surface of the hopper and fall into the bowl. Because the diameter of the upper opening of the upper conical hopper is larger than the diameter of the lower opening, the area over which the noodles fall is smaller, preventing them from spilling outside the bowl. Residual water in the upper conical hopper slides down the lower conical hopper into a drip tray for collection, preventing water droplets from falling onto the countertop. Because the diameter of the upper opening of the lower conical hopper is smaller than the diameter of the lower opening, the inner diameter of the drip tray below the lower conical hopper can increase as the lower opening of the lower conical hopper expands, preventing noodles falling from the upper conical hopper from dripping into the drip tray. This invention prevents residual water droplets from falling while ensuring that the noodles are not obstructed by the drip tray.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the food dispensing mechanism includes a food dispensing cylinder mounting plate connected to the machine body, on which a food dispensing cylinder is mounted, and a food-retrieving lifting plate is connected to the piston rod of the food dispensing cylinder. A food-retrieving opening is provided on one side of the machine body, and a food-retrieving sealing plate is provided at the food-retrieving opening, which is fixed to the food-retrieving lifting plate. After noodles and toppings are added to the bowls on the conveyor, a feeding robot delivers the bowls to the food-retrieving lifting plate. The food dispensing cylinder lowers the food-retrieving lifting plate, bringing the bowls to the food-retrieving opening. The food-retrieving sealing plate lowers along with the food-retrieving lifting plate, opening the food-retrieving opening so that customers can retrieve their food.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the breaking mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, which is mounted on a food dispensing cylinder mounting plate. A drive mounting plate is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder, and a breaking drive mechanism is mounted on the drive mounting plate. The output end of the breaking drive mechanism is connected to a breaking component for cutting the sealing of the food box. A support member is fixed on the food dispensing cylinder mounting plate, and a breaking die for placing the food box is fixed on the support member. The breaking die is located on the lower side of the breaking mechanism.

[0019] After the container to be broken is placed inside the breaking die, a lifting cylinder drives the breaking drive mechanism and breaking assembly to descend. The breaking drive mechanism then drives the breaking assembly to move along a circular path, cutting off the seal of the container. This invention cuts the seal by moving the breaking assembly along the surface of the container, ensuring that the cutting area is completely severed. Furthermore, this invention prevents the container from being excessively compressed during breaking, keeping it intact and preventing food spillage.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a circular box edge pressing ring for pressing the material box is connected to the drive mounting plate by several springs. Several hinge pins are fixed on the circular box edge pressing ring, and several limiting holes are provided on the drive mounting plate, with the hinge pins fitted into the limiting holes. When the lifting cylinder drives the drive mounting plate to descend, the circular box edge pressing ring is pressed against the edge of the material box under the action of the springs, thereby preventing the material box from moving when cutting the seal, ensuring smooth cutting and a clean cut. The hinge pins guide the circular box edge pressing ring, preventing misalignment.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a hot air gun is connected to the bottom of the breaking die, and an opening communicating with the hot air gun is provided at the bottom of the breaking die; a heating airflow baffle is connected to the opening of the breaking die, and a plurality of airflow distribution holes are provided on the heating airflow baffle. The hot air gun can send hot air into the breaking die through the opening at the bottom of the breaking die, melting the grease on the inner wall of the material box, ensuring that the food in the material box can be easily removed when the material box is tilted. The airflow distribution holes on the heating airflow baffle can disperse the hot air, ensuring that the surface of the material box is heated more evenly.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0023] The present invention's noodle-feeding robot retrieves a material box containing noodle ingredients from a freezer and pours the noodles into a noodle cooker for cooking. A dual-bowl delivery mechanism retrieves either a takeout bowl or a regular bowl and delivers it to the food adding position, where the noodle-feeding robot pours the cooked noodles into the bowl. A material-feeding robot retrieves a material box containing toppings from a material box compartment and delivers it to a breaking mechanism for breaking. The material-feeding robot then adds the toppings from the broken material box to the bowl, and finally transfers the bowl containing noodles and toppings to a serving mechanism for serving. This invention automatically retrieves noodle ingredients for cooking, automatically delivers takeout or regular bowls, and automatically retrieves and breaks open a material box containing toppings to add toppings, achieving full automation of the noodle cooking, topping addition, and serving process without manual operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0045] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0046] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the invention can be combined with each other.

[0047] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the automatic topping noodle cooker of this embodiment includes a body 1. Inside the body 1 are a refrigerator 2 for placing a material tray 26, a noodle cooker 3, a noodle feeding robot 11, a material feeding robot 12, and a material box 4 for placing a material box containing toppings. Inside the body 1 are also a double bowl feeding mechanism 5 and a breaking mechanism 6 for breaking the material box. A serving mechanism 7 is provided on the bowl-out side of the double bowl feeding mechanism 5.

[0048] The present invention's noodle-feeding robot 11 retrieves a material box containing noodle ingredients from a freezer 2 and pours the noodles into a noodle cooker 3 for cooking. A double-bowl delivery mechanism 5 retrieves a takeout bowl or a regular bowl and delivers it to the food adding position, where the noodle-feeding robot 11 pours the cooked noodles into the bowl. A material-feeding robot 12 retrieves a material box containing toppings from a material box compartment 4 and delivers it to a breaking mechanism 6 for breaking. The material-feeding robot 12 then adds the toppings from the broken material box to the bowl, and finally transfers the bowl containing noodles and toppings to a serving mechanism 7 for serving. The present invention automatically retrieves noodle ingredients for cooking, automatically delivers takeout bowls or regular bowls, and automatically retrieves a material box containing toppings for breaking and adding toppings, achieving full automation of the noodle cooking, topping addition, and serving process without manual operation.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the freezer 2 includes a freezer body 21, a drive mechanism 22 is installed inside the freezer body 21, the output end of the drive mechanism 22 is connected to a rotating disk 23, a plurality of placement seats 231 for stacking material trays 26 are provided on the rotating disk 23, and an annular bracket 24 for limiting the material trays 26 is provided in the middle of the rotating disk 23.

[0050] The rotating disk 23 has several placement seats 231 that can hold several stacks of material trays 26, making full use of the space in the freezer 2. The drive mechanism 22 can drive the rotating disk 23 to rotate, so that each stack of material trays 26 can rotate to one side of the cabinet door 28, making it convenient for the dough feeding robot 11 to pick up the material trays 26. The ring bracket 24 can straighten each stack of material trays 26 to prevent the material trays 26 from collapsing.

[0051] The rotating disk 23 is also equipped with several baffle rods 25, which are located on the side of the material disk 26 away from the annular support 24. The baffle rods 25 can limit the material disk 26 on the side away from the annular support 24, preventing the material disk 26 from tilting away from the annular support 24.

[0052] The annular support 24 has a planar shape on the side near the material tray 26, and the material tray 26 is in contact with the annular support 24. The contact between the annular support 24 and the material tray 26 provides support for the material tray 26, ensuring its stability.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the lower end of the material tray 26 is provided with an overlapping step 261, and the overlapping step 261 of the upper material tray 26 engages with the upper opening of the lower material tray 26. Adjacent material trays 26 are engaged together by the overlapping step 261, thereby limiting the mutual positioning between adjacent material trays 26 and ensuring the stability of a stack of material trays 26. The placement seat 231 is a placement opening, and the overlapping step 261 of the bottommost material tray 26 engages within the placement opening. The bottom of the material tray 26 is provided with a drain hole 262. Excess water in the material tray 26 can be drained through the drain hole 262, preventing food from spoiling due to excessive moisture and also preventing water from spilling out of the material tray 26 when the material tray 26 is transferred by a robotic arm. Figure 6 As shown, the shape of the placement opening is similar to the upper opening of the material tray 26, so that the bottom material tray 26 can be engaged into the placement opening, and thus the bottom material tray 26 can be placed stably.

[0054] The drive mechanism 22 includes a motor 221, the output of which is connected to a reducer 222. The motor 221 and reducer 222 are installed inside the freezer body 21. The output of the reducer 222 is connected to a rotating disk 23. The motor 221 drives the reducer 222, which in turn drives the rotating disk 23 to rotate. By controlling the timing of the motor 221's operation, the rotating disk 23 can be rotated to a predetermined angle, ensuring that each stack of material trays 26 can accurately rotate to one side of the cabinet door 28.

[0055] A partition 27 is fixed inside the main body 21 of the refrigerator. A reducer 222 is installed on the lower side of the partition 27, and the output end of the reducer 222 extends out of the partition 27 and connects to the rotating disk 23. The partition 27 can prevent water flowing out of the material tray 26 from dripping into the drive mechanism 22, thus ensuring the safe use of the drive mechanism 22.

[0056] Both sides of the freezer body 21 are equipped with cabinet doors 28. An electric push rod 57 is installed on the freezer body 21 and is connected to one of the cabinet doors 28. The outer side of the freezer body 21 is used for manually placing the material tray 26 onto the rotating tray 23. After the cabinet door 28 inside the freezer body 21 opens automatically, the dough feeding robot 11 can reach into the freezer body 21 through the cabinet door 28 to retrieve the material tray 26.

[0057] Specifically, such as Figures 8-11As shown, the double bowl delivery mechanism 5 includes a bowl area worktable 51, which is installed inside the machine body 1. A noodle-turning funnel 8 is installed on the bowl-out side of the bowl area worktable 51. The bowl area worktable 51 has takeaway bowl dropping holes 511 and regular bowl dropping holes 512. A bowl dropper 53 is installed at the takeaway bowl dropping hole 511 of the bowl area worktable 51. Bowl-supporting mechanisms 54 are installed on both sides of the regular bowl dropping hole 512 of the bowl area worktable 51. A conveyor 55 is installed inside the machine body 1, located below the bowl area worktable 51. A bracket 56 is installed at the output end of the conveyor 55. Bowl-supporting mechanisms 54 are provided on both sides of the regular bowl dropping hole 512. The bowl-supporting mechanisms 54 on both sides support the two sides of the regular bowl, ensuring reliable support for the regular bowl.

[0058] The takeaway bowls are dropped onto the tray 56 of the conveyor 55 by the bowl dropper 53, and regular bowls are dropped onto the tray 56 by releasing the bowl holding mechanism 54. The conveyor 55 then transports either the takeaway bowls or regular bowls to the bottom of the noodle-making funnel 8, thus enabling the separate transport of takeaway bowls and regular bowls. When transporting regular bowls, the bowl holding mechanism 54 is released, allowing a stack of regular bowls to fall onto the tray 56. The bowl holding mechanism 54 is then closed, supporting the second-to-last layer and above of bowls, allowing the bottom layer of bowls to separate from the bowl holding mechanism 54, facilitating the removal of the tray 56 containing the bottom layer of regular bowls by the conveyor 55. This invention uses the bowl dropper 53 and the bowl holding mechanism 54 to separately transport takeaway bowls and regular bowls. Its simple structure eliminates the need for complex devices and procedures, ensuring reliability during use.

[0059] Furthermore, the bowl-feeding rack is also equipped with an electric push rod 57. A top plate 571 is fixed to the piston rod of the electric push rod 57. The electric push rod 57 is located directly below the regular bowl dropping hole 512. The bracket 56 is provided with a support hole through which the top plate 571 of the electric push rod 57 passes. When the bracket 56 moves below the regular bowl, the electric push rod 57 is activated, and the top plate 571 of the electric push rod 57 passes through the support hole of the bracket 56 and supports the regular bowl. Then, the bowl-supporting mechanism 54 is released, and the top plate 571 is lowered a certain distance by the electric push rod 57, aligning the second-to-last layer of regular bowls with the bowl-supporting mechanism 54. Then, the bowl-supporting mechanism 54 is closed, supporting the second-to-last layer and above of bowls. The top plate 571 is lowered by the electric push rod 57, and the bottom layer of regular bowls separates from the top layer and falls onto the bracket 56. At this time, the regular bowls can be sent to the next position by the conveyor 55. When taking out a regular bowl, support it with the top plate 571 to prevent it from falling directly onto the bracket 56 and breaking.

[0060] The bowl-supporting mechanism 54 includes a bowl-supporting cylinder 541, which is mounted on the bowl area worktable 51. A push plate 542 is connected to the piston rod of the bowl-supporting cylinder 541, and a bowl support plate 543 for supporting a regular bowl is fixed on the push plate 542. When the piston rod of the bowl-supporting cylinder 541 extends, the push plate 542 drives the bowl support plate 543 to extend, thereby enabling the bowl support plate 543 to support the regular bowl. The bowl-supporting cylinder 541 is provided with a limiting groove 5411, and the push plate 542 is provided with a sliding block 5421, which is fitted into the limiting groove 5411. When the push plate 542 moves, the sliding block 5421 on the push plate 542 can always move within the limiting groove 5411, ensuring that the bowl support plate 543 accurately and stably supports the regular bowl.

[0061] Several guide rods 513 are installed around the regular bowl dropping hole 512 on the fixed plate to limit the regular bowl. The limiting guide rods can limit the regular bowl and prevent the bowl from tilting. Several side guards 531 are installed on the bowl dropping device 53 to limit the takeaway bowl. The side guards 531 can limit the takeaway bowl and prevent the takeaway bowl from tilting.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the inverted funnel 8 includes an upper conical funnel 81, the upper opening diameter of which is larger than the lower opening diameter. The lower end of the upper conical funnel 81 is connected to a lower conical funnel 82, the upper opening diameter of which is smaller than the lower opening diameter. A drip plate 83 is provided on the lower side of the lower conical funnel 82, and the drip plate 83 is annular in shape.

[0063] When the cooked noodles are poured into the upper conical hopper 81, they slide down the conical surface of the hopper and fall into the bowl. Because the diameter of the upper opening of the upper conical hopper 81 is larger than the diameter of the lower opening, the range of the noodles' fall is small, preventing them from spilling outside the bowl. Residual water in the upper conical hopper 81 slides down the lower conical hopper 82 into the drip tray 83 for collection, preventing water droplets from falling onto the countertop. Because the diameter of the upper opening of the lower conical hopper 82 is smaller than the diameter of the lower opening, the inner diameter of the drip tray 83 below the lower conical hopper 82 can increase as the lower opening of the lower conical hopper 82 expands, preventing noodles falling from the upper conical hopper 81 from entering the drip tray 83. This invention prevents residual water droplets from falling while ensuring that the noodles are not obstructed by the drip tray 83.

[0064] The inner diameter of the drip tray 83 is not less than the diameter of the lower opening of the upper conical hopper 81. To ensure that the water dripping from the lower conical hopper 82 is caught by the drip tray 83, the inner diameter of the drip tray 83 is not greater than the diameter of the lower opening of the lower conical hopper 82. Thus, the inner diameter of the drip tray 83 is directly between the diameters of the lower openings of the upper conical hopper 81 and the lower opening of the lower conical hopper 82, ensuring that the noodles are not blocked by the drip tray 83 while also ensuring that the water dripping from the lower conical hopper 82 can be caught by the drip tray 83.

[0065] A water-retaining ring 831 is fixed to the inner ring of the drip tray 83, and a gap is provided between the water-retaining ring 831 and the lower conical hopper 82. The water-retaining ring 831 has the same diameter as the inner ring of the drip tray 83, so the water-retaining ring 831 will not obstruct the noodles. The water-retaining ring 831 makes the drip tray 83 an open container at the top, preventing water from overflowing from the drip tray 83. The drip tray 83 is provided with a drain outlet 832. When the water in the drip tray 83 accumulates to a certain level, the water can be drained through the drain outlet 832.

[0066] An outer cylinder 84 is fixed to the outside of the upper conical funnel 81, and a drip tray 83 is connected to the outer cylinder 84. The outer cylinder 84 connects the drip tray 83 and the upper conical funnel 81, ensuring a secure hold on the drip tray 83. The outer cylinder 84 also keeps the funnel surface smooth, preventing food residue from remaining on the outer wall of the funnel. An inner support 841 connects the upper conical funnel 81 or the lower conical funnel 82 to the outer cylinder 84. The inner support 841 connects the outer cylinder 84 to the upper conical funnel 81 or the lower conical funnel 82, ensuring greater stability of the outer cylinder 84.

[0067] The noodle-pouring funnel 8 also includes a collection channel 85, which is connected to the outer cylinder 84. The collection channel 85 catches water that spills outside the funnel during the noodle-pouring process. Adjacent outer cylinders 84 are directly connected to a surrounding plate 86 and a sealing plate 87, with the lower end of the surrounding plate 86 connected to the collection channel 85. The surrounding plate 86 and the sealing plate 87 ensure a smooth transition between adjacent outer cylinders 84, preventing food residue from remaining in the gaps.

[0068] like Figure 14 As shown, the material box compartment 4 includes a compartment body 41 placed inside the machine body 1. The compartment body 41 is provided with several circular cup sleeves 42 for stacking material boxes. A material box support plate 43 is also fixed to the compartment body 41. The gap between the material box support plate 43 and the lower end of the circular cup sleeves 42 is not less than the height of the material box. When the feeding robot 12 extends between the material box support plate 43 and the circular cup sleeves 42, it removes the bottommost material box. The second-to-last layer and above material boxes then automatically fall down without dropping out of the compartment body 41.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 15 and Figure 16As shown, the food dispensing mechanism 7 includes a food dispensing compartment 75 connected to the machine body 1 and a food dispensing cylinder mounting plate 71. A food dispensing cylinder 72 is mounted on the food dispensing cylinder mounting plate 71, and a food retrieval lifting plate 73 is connected to the piston rod of the food dispensing cylinder 72. The food retrieval lifting plate 73 passes through the food dispensing compartment 75. A food retrieval opening 13 is provided on the outward-facing side of the food dispensing compartment 75, and a food retrieval sealing plate 74 is provided at the food retrieval opening 13. The food retrieval sealing plate 74 is fixed to the food retrieval lifting plate 73. After noodles and toppings are added to the bowls on the conveyor 55, the feeding robot 12 delivers the bowls to the food retrieval lifting plate 73. The food dispensing cylinder 72 drives the food retrieval lifting plate 73 to descend, so that the bowls reach the food retrieval opening 13. The food retrieval sealing plate 74 descends together with the food retrieval lifting plate 73, so the food retrieval opening 13 is opened, and customers can retrieve their food from the food retrieval opening 13.

[0070] A water boiler 14 is installed inside the main unit 1. The water boiler 14 is connected to a soup-adding connector 15 via a pipe. The soup-adding connector 15 is located on the upper side of the serving compartment 75. When the bowl containing noodles and toppings is placed on the serving lift plate 73, soup is added to the bowl through the soup-adding connector 15. A condiment rack 16 is installed on the outside of the main unit 1. After the customer takes the bowl from the serving slot 13, they can add condiments themselves at the condiment rack 16. A range hood 17 is installed above the noodle cooker.

[0071] Specifically, such as Figure 15 , Figures 17-20 As shown, the breaking mechanism 6 includes a lifting cylinder 62, which is mounted on the food dispensing cylinder mounting plate 71. A drive mounting plate 63 is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 62. A breaking drive mechanism 64 is mounted on the drive mounting plate 63. The output end of the breaking drive mechanism 64 is connected to a breaking component 65 for cutting the sealing of the food box. A support member 66 is fixed on the food dispensing cylinder mounting plate 71. A breaking die 67 for placing the food box is fixed on the support member 66. The breaking die 67 is located on the lower side of the breaking mechanism 6.

[0072] After the container to be broken is placed inside the breaking die 67, the lifting cylinder 62 drives the breaking drive mechanism 64 and the breaking assembly 65 to descend. The breaking drive mechanism 64 then drives the breaking assembly 65 to move along a circular path, cutting off the seal of the container. This invention cuts the seal by moving the breaking assembly 65 along the surface of the container, ensuring that the cutting area is completely severed. Furthermore, this invention prevents the container from being excessively compressed during breaking, keeping it intact and preventing food spillage.

[0073] The breaking drive mechanism 64 includes a breaking motor 641, the output end of which is connected to a breaking reducer 642. The breaking reducer 642 is mounted on a drive mounting plate 63, and the breaking assembly 65 is connected to the output end of the breaking reducer 642. After the breaking motor 641 is started, it drives the breaking reducer 642 to rotate, thereby causing the breaking knife 652 to move along a defined circular path to fully cut the seal of the material box.

[0074] The breaking assembly 65 includes a blade holder 651, which is connected to the output end of the breaking drive mechanism 64. A breaking blade 652 is mounted on one end of the blade holder 651. Since one end of the blade holder 651 is connected to the output end of the breaking drive mechanism 64 and the other end is connected to the breaking blade 652, when the breaking drive mechanism 64 is activated, the breaking blade 652 can move along a defined circular path, thus stably cutting open the seal of the material box. During cutting, the angle of movement of the breaking blade 652 is less than 360° to prevent the seal from being completely cut off and falling into the material box.

[0075] A circular box edge pressing ring 632 for pressing the material box is connected to the drive mounting plate 63 by several springs 631. Several hinge pins 633 are fixed on the circular box edge pressing ring 632. Several limiting holes are provided on the drive mounting plate 63, and the hinge pins 633 are sleeved in the limiting holes. When the lifting cylinder 62 drives the drive mounting plate 63 to descend, the circular box edge pressing ring 632 is pressed against the edge of the material box under the action of the springs 631, thereby preventing the material box from moving when cutting the seal, ensuring smooth cutting and a flat cut. The hinge pins 633 can guide the circular box edge pressing ring 632 to prevent the circular box edge pressing ring 632 from being misaligned.

[0076] The breaking die 67 is provided with a gripping opening 671 for the robotic arm to pass through. After the breaking is completed, the lifting cylinder 62 drives the drive mounting plate 63, the breaking drive mechanism 64 and the breaking assembly 65 to rise. The robotic arm then extends to the gripping opening 671 and lifts the material box to detach it from the breaking die 67.

[0077] A hot air gun 68 is connected to the bottom of the breaking die 67. A hot air gun 68 fixing member 61 is connected between the support member 66 and the hot air gun 68. The bottom of the breaking die 67 has an opening communicating with the hot air gun 68. A heating airflow baffle 672 is connected to the opening of the breaking die 67, and the heating airflow baffle is provided with several airflow distribution holes. The hot air gun 68 can send hot air into the breaking die 67 through the opening at the bottom of the breaking die 67, melting the grease on the inner wall of the container and ensuring that the food in the container can be easily removed when the container is tilted. The airflow distribution holes on the heating airflow baffle 672 can disperse the hot air, ensuring that the surface of the container is heated more evenly.

[0078] This invention is not limited to the above-described optional embodiments. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the guidance of this invention. However, regardless of any changes made in their shape or structure, any technical solution that falls within the scope of the claims of this invention shall be protected by this invention.
