[0002] Cakes are common desserts in our daily life. For example, in order to improve the ornamental value, the surface of birthday cakes is often decorated by icing and piping.
[0003] Most of the automatic cakes on the market are simple cake machines with baking function. These simple cake machines can automatically inject cake liquid for baking, but they do not have the functions of automatic icing and automatic piping. Most of the time, cakes are made by hand, and icing, piping and adding nuts and peanuts are also done by hand. The production efficiency of manual cake making is low. When traditional cakes are iced and piped, they are usually operated manually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, workers need to have skilled operation skills. However, even so, when icing and piping, some accidental human errors are inevitable, which affects the appearance of cakes and is not conducive to the sale of cakes. Currently, various fruit granules (mango, dragon fruit, hazelnut, peanut, etc.) need to be manually placed in the cake. Therefore, when developing automatic cake processing, it is necessary to solve the problem of whether the fruit granules can be stably and quantitatively provided by automatic machinery. SUMMARY
