Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automatic cooking, and in particular to a solid-liquid seasoning feeding method and an automatic cooking method. Background Art

[0002] In automatic cooking equipment, in order to ensure the flavor of the cooked ingredients, it is necessary to perform the corresponding seasoning addition operation at the appropriate time.

[0003] At present, the existing seasoning feeding mechanism and method are shown in patent CN113494680A: it includes a rotating mechanism, which is connected to an angle sensor, and defines the zero position of the angle sensor as the initial position. When a selection operation is required, the corresponding selection position is determined according to the angle of the angle sensor, and the angle sensor stops after reaching the corresponding selection position. At this time, the feeding device at the corresponding selection position can be driven to perform the feeding operation. The above scheme has the following defects: the selection position is determined by the angle of the angle sensor. Once the selection position needs to be modified, the angle settings in the algorithm need to be updated to adapt to the position change. The adjustment is time-consuming and increases the development time. At the same time, the positioning of the selection position in this scheme depends on the angle detection of the angle sensor. If the error of the angle sensor is large, it may cause the rotating mechanism to fail to reach the corresponding selection position, thereby requiring a high-precision angle sensor, which increases the cost. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art in that the adjustment is difficult and the cost is high, and to provide a solid-liquid seasoning feeding method and an automatic cooking method.

[0005] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A solid-liquid seasoning feeding method is applicable to a solid-liquid seasoning feeding device, wherein the solid-liquid seasoning feeding device comprises a solid seasoning feeding mechanism, a liquid seasoning feeding mechanism and a selection mechanism, wherein the selection mechanism comprises a rotating part and an interference part arranged on the rotating part, wherein the interference part can pass through an initial position and a plurality of selection positions when rotating, and when the interference part is in the selection position, it can correspondingly make one of the solid seasoning feeding mechanism or the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism perform a feeding operation, and the solid-liquid seasoning feeding method comprises the following steps:

[0007] S10: From the initial position, along the rotation direction of the rotating part, sequentially numbering the selected positions that the interference part passes through in sequence, and mapping the numbers of the selected positions to corresponding liquid seasoning feeding mechanisms or solid seasoning feeding mechanisms;

[0008] S20: determining a material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation according to the material unloading instruction, and determining a preset number corresponding to the selected position according to the material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation;

[0009] S30: the rotating part rotates until the interference part reaches an initial position;

[0010] S40: the rotating part rotates until the interference part reaches the selected position, and determines whether the number of the selected position is a preset number. If yes, step S50 is executed; if not, the rotating part continues to rotate until the number of the selected position reached by the interference part is the preset number.

[0011] S50: determining the type of the corresponding unloading mechanism to be unloading, and if the unloading mechanism is a solid seasoning unloading mechanism, performing the solid seasoning unloading operation; if the unloading mechanism is a liquid seasoning unloading mechanism, performing the liquid seasoning unloading operation;

[0012] S60: removing the selected position number corresponding to the unloading mechanism that has completed unloading from the preset number, and executing steps S40 and S50 again until all unloading mechanisms have completed unloading.

[0013] By adopting the above scheme, the selective feeding operation of solid and liquid seasonings can be realized, and compared with the existing technology, it also has the following advantages: First, the selective feeding operation in this method is performed by judging the serial number of the selection position. Therefore, even if the position of the selection position is adjusted to a certain extent during the subsequent development and optimization process, as long as the order between the multiple selection positions remains unchanged, the existing algorithm can be kept unchanged, and the development and adjustment are very convenient. In addition, even if the number of selection positions is increased or decreased during the development and optimization process, for this method, it is only necessary to increase or decrease the serial number of the selection position accordingly without the need for comprehensive modification. It can be seen that the method of the present invention has the advantages of high compatibility and easy debugging in terms of development and debugging compared with the existing methods.

[0014] In addition, the control of the operating accuracy in this solution is only related to the placement accuracy of the selected position, and has nothing to do with the rotation accuracy of the rotating part. Therefore, compared with the existing technology, there is no need to use high-precision sensors, which can reduce costs.

[0015] Preferably, the radial relative positions of the initial position and the selected position relative to the axis of the rotating part are consistent with the radial relative positions of the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism and the solid seasoning feeding mechanism relative to the axis of the rotating part, so that the initial position and the selected position can correspond to the solid seasoning feeding mechanism or one of the solid seasoning feeding mechanisms respectively, and step S30 further includes:

[0016] S31: Determine whether the corresponding unloading mechanism at the initial position is a unloading mechanism that needs to perform unloading operation, if not, execute step S40, if yes, execute step S50.

[0017] The above scheme enables the selective blanking operation to be performed when the interference part is in the initial position, thereby improving the operation response speed and reducing one selection position during hardware design and development, thereby reducing hardware development costs and design and development difficulties.

[0018] Preferably, the solid seasoning unloading mechanism includes a clutch device and a main body unloading device, and the solid-liquid seasoning unloading device also includes a driving mechanism, the driving mechanism is connected to the rotating part in a one-way transmission manner and is connected to the main body unloading device through a clutch device, the rotating part can move with the driving mechanism when the driving mechanism rotates forward, and the transmission is released when the driving mechanism rotates reversely, and the clutch device can connect the main body unloading device with the driving mechanism when the interference part is in the selected position corresponding to the solid seasoning unloading mechanism.

[0020] The solid seasoning feeding operation includes: the driving mechanism rotates in the opposite direction to drive the main body feeding device to perform the feeding operation.

[0021] By adopting the above structure and the matching method, the driving mechanism can simultaneously perform the selection operation of the rotating part and the feeding operation of the solid seasoning feeding device, thereby realizing structural reuse and reducing the cost and volume of the cooking machine.

[0022] Preferably, step S20 further includes:

[0023] S21: According to the feeding instruction, the preset operation time of the driving mechanism corresponding to the feeding amount of the solid seasoning is determined.

[0024] Preferably, the solid seasoning feeding operation further comprises:

[0026] Preferably, the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism includes an air filling device, a liquid storage tank, a liquid outlet pipe and an abutment device for abutting and closing the liquid outlet pipe. The air filling device and the liquid outlet pipe are both connected to the liquid storage tank. The abutment device can release the closure of the liquid outlet pipe when the interference portion is in a selected position corresponding to the liquid seasoning feeding device. The liquid seasoning feeding operation includes: the air filling device inflates the liquid storage tank so that the seasoning in the liquid storage tank flows out through the liquid outlet pipe.

[0027] Preferably, the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism also includes an air extraction device connected to the liquid storage tank, the liquid storage tank includes a liquid storage portion and a siphon passage connected to the liquid storage portion, and the siphon point of the siphon passage is higher than the liquid level of the liquid storage portion.

[0028] With such a structure, during the liquid discharge process, the liquid can flow out continuously and stably under the action of the siphon effect after passing the siphon point of the siphon passage, and is not easily affected by the airflow fluctuation of the inflation device, which is conducive to improving the discharge accuracy.

[0029] Preferably, the liquid seasoning feeding operation further includes: after the inflation device stops inflating, the vacuum device evacuates the liquid storage tank to make the liquid level of the siphon passage return to a position passing through and below the siphon point.

[0030] The above operation can release the siphon state, and the liquid will no longer flow out. In addition, since the siphon point is higher than the liquid level in the liquid storage tank, the liquid in the liquid storage tank will not leak out, thereby improving stability.

[0031] Preferably, step S20 further includes:

[0032] S22: According to the feeding instruction, a preset inflation time of the inflation device corresponding to the amount of liquid seasoning fed is determined.

[0072] The present invention is further described below by way of examples, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the examples.

[0073] Combination Figure 1 , a solid-liquid seasoning feeding method, which is applicable to a solid-liquid seasoning feeding device, the solid-liquid seasoning feeding device includes a solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100, a liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 200 and a selection mechanism 300, the selection mechanism 300 includes an annular rotating part 310 and an interference part 320 arranged on the rotating part 310. The annular path formed by the interference part 320 during rotation can pass through an initial position 330 and a plurality of selection positions 340, and the interference part 320 can correspond to one of the solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100 or the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 200 to perform a feeding operation when it is in the selection position 340. Therefore, the plurality of selection positions 340 can respectively correspond to a plurality of solid seasoning feeding mechanisms 100 and liquid seasoning feeding mechanisms 200 to perform a feeding operation.

[0074] In this embodiment, the solid-liquid seasoning feeding method comprises the following steps:

[0075] S10: From the initial position 330, along the rotation direction of the rotating part 310, sequentially number the selected positions 340 that the interference part 320 passes through in sequence, and map the numbers of the selected positions 340 to the corresponding liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 200 or solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100;

[0076] The sequential numbering referred to in S10 refers to numbering the selection positions 340 in ascending order. For example, if the current selection position 340 is numbered 2, the subsequent selection position 340 adjacent thereto is numbered 3, and so on, the subsequent selection positions 340 are numbered 4, 5, 6, etc. The numbering preferably corresponds to the total number of the material discharging mechanisms to improve development efficiency.

[0077] S20: According to the material unloading instruction, a material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation is determined, and a preset number corresponding to the selected position 340 is determined according to the material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation;

[0078] Since the unloading mechanism can correspond to a selection position 340, when the unloading mechanism that needs to perform the unloading operation is determined, the number of the selection position 340 corresponding to the unloading mechanism that needs to perform the unloading operation can also be determined, and the number of the selection position 340 is the preset number;

[0079] S30: The rotating part 310 rotates until the interference part 320 reaches the initial position 330;

[0080] S40: the rotating part 310 rotates until the interference part 320 reaches the selection position 340, and determines whether the number of the selection position 340 is the preset number. If yes, step S50 is executed. If no, the rotating part 310 continues to rotate until the number of the selection position 340 reached by the interference part 320 is the preset number.

[0081] In step S30 and step S40, the reason why the rotating part 310 needs to be rotated to the initial position 330 is that the number of the selected position 340 cannot be directly determined in this method, but the number corresponding to the selected position 340 needs to be deduced according to the order in which the selected positions 340 appear, so the rotating part 310 needs to use the initial position 330 as a reference. This method eliminates the need for a sensor for determining the number, thereby saving costs.

[0082] S50: Determine the type of the corresponding unloading mechanism to be unloading, if the unloading mechanism is the solid seasoning unloading mechanism 100, then execute the solid seasoning unloading operation, if the unloading mechanism is the liquid seasoning unloading mechanism 200, then execute the liquid seasoning unloading operation;

[0083] S60: remove the label of the selected position 340 corresponding to the unloading mechanism that has completed unloading from the preset labels, and execute steps S40 and S50 again until all unloading mechanisms have completed unloading.

[0084] By adopting the above scheme, the selective feeding operation of solid and liquid seasonings can be realized, and compared with the prior art, it also has the following advantages: First, the selective feeding operation in this method is performed by judging the serial number of the selection position 340. Therefore, even if the position of the selection position 340 is adjusted to a certain extent during the subsequent development and optimization process, as long as the order between the multiple selection positions 340 remains unchanged, the existing algorithm can be kept unchanged, and the development and adjustment are very convenient. In addition, even if the number of selection positions 340 is increased or decreased during the development and optimization process, for this method, it is only necessary to increase or decrease the serial number of the selection position 340 accordingly without the need for comprehensive modification. It can be seen that the method of the present invention has the advantages of high compatibility and easy debugging in terms of development and debugging compared with the prior art.

[0085] In addition, the control of accuracy in this solution is only related to the placement accuracy of the selected position 340. Therefore, compared with the prior art, there is no need to use high-precision sensors, which can reduce costs.

[0086] In this embodiment, the radial relative positions of the initial position 330 and the selected position 340 relative to the axis of the rotating part 310 are consistent with the radial relative positions of the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 200 and the solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100 relative to the axis of the rotating part 310, so that the initial position 330 and the selected position 340 can correspond to the solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100 or one of the solid seasoning feeding mechanisms 100, respectively, and step S30 further includes:

[0087] S31: Determine whether the unloading mechanism corresponding to the initial position 330 is the unloading mechanism that needs to perform the unloading operation. If not, execute step S40; if yes, execute step S50.

[0088] By adopting the above solution, the interference part 320 can also perform the selective blanking operation when it is in the initial position 330, thereby improving the operation response speed and reducing one selection position 340 during hardware design and development, thereby reducing the hardware development cost and the difficulty of design and development.

[0089] Combination Figure 3In the present embodiment, the solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100 further includes a clutch device 120 and a main body feeding device 110. The solid-liquid seasoning feeding device further includes a driving mechanism 400. The driving mechanism 400 is unidirectionally connected to the rotating part 310 and is connected to the main body feeding device 110 through the clutch device 120. The rotating part 310 can move with the driving mechanism 400 when the driving mechanism 400 rotates forward, and the transmission is released when the driving mechanism 400 rotates reversely. The clutch device 120 can connect the main body feeding device 110 with the driving mechanism 400 when the interference part 320 is in the selection position 340 corresponding to the solid seasoning feeding mechanism 100, so that the driving mechanism 400 can drive the main body feeding device 110 to operate and thus realize the solid seasoning feeding operation.

[0090] After adopting the above structure, the corresponding operation method is that the driving mechanism 400 rotates forward to drive the rotating part 310 to rotate; when the rotating part 310 is in the unloading position corresponding to the solid seasoning unloading mechanism 100, the driving mechanism 400 rotates reversely to drive the main unloading device 110 to perform the unloading operation.

[0091] By adopting the above structure and the matching method, the driving mechanism 400 can simultaneously perform the selection operation of the rotating part 310 and the feeding operation of the solid seasoning feeding device, thereby achieving structural reuse and reducing the cost and volume of the cooking machine.

[0092] Specifically, the driving mechanism 400 and the rotating part 310 are connected via a ratchet wheel and ratchet tooth structure to achieve one-way transmission. Since the ratchet wheel and ratchet tooth structure is a common structure in the prior art, it will not be further described here.

[0093] The clutch device 120 includes a main gear 121 connected to the driving mechanism 400, and a plurality of slave gears 122 arranged on the circumferential side of the main gear 121. A driven rod 123 connected to the main unloading device 110 is passed through the slave gear 122. The slave gear 122 is axially offset from the main gear 121. The interference portion 320 on the rotating portion 310 can drive the driven rod 123 to move axially when passing through the corresponding selection position 340 so that the slave gear 122 and the main gear 121 change from an axially offset state to a meshing state. At this time, a transmission connection is realized between the driving mechanism 400 and the main unloading device 110, and the rotation of the driving mechanism 400 can drive the main unloading device 110 to perform the unloading operation.

[0094] Combination Figure 2 In this embodiment, step S20 further includes:

[0095] S21: According to the feeding instruction, the preset operation time of the driving mechanism 400 corresponding to the feeding amount of the solid seasoning is determined, wherein the preset operation time is calculated based on data such as the rotation speed of the driving mechanism 400, the seasoning type and the seasoning particle size.

[0096] Therefore, when performing the solid seasoning feeding operation, the driving mechanism 400 stops after running for a preset running time, so that the feeding amount of the solid seasoning reaches a preset value.

[0097] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 6 In the present embodiment, the liquid seasoning feeding mechanism 200 includes an air filling device 210, a liquid storage tank 220, a liquid outlet pipe 230 and an abutment device 240 for abutting and closing the liquid outlet pipe 230. The air filling device 210 and the liquid outlet pipe 230 are both connected to the liquid storage tank 220. The abutment device 240 can release the closure of the liquid outlet pipe 230 when the interference portion 320 is in the selection position 340 corresponding to the liquid seasoning feeding device.

[0098] By adopting the above structure, when liquid seasoning is added, air is inflated into the liquid storage pipe through the inflation device 210 , so that the seasoning in the liquid storage tank 220 can flow out through the liquid outlet pipe 230 .

[0099] In this embodiment, step S20 further includes:

[0100] S22: According to the feeding instruction, the preset inflation time of the inflation device 210 corresponding to the amount of liquid seasoning fed is determined.

[0101] Therefore, the liquid seasoning feeding operation also includes stopping the aeration device 210 after the aeration reaches a preset time, so that the liquid seasoning can reach the corresponding feeding amount.

[0102] Combination Figure 6 In this embodiment, the liquid storage tank 220 includes a liquid storage portion and a siphon passage 221 connected to the liquid storage portion, and the siphon point of the siphon passage 221 is higher than the liquid level of the liquid storage portion. With such a structure, during the liquid discharge process, after the liquid passes the siphon point of the siphon passage 221, it can continue to flow out stably under the action of the siphon effect, and is not easily affected by the air flow fluctuation of the inflation device 210, which is conducive to improving the discharge accuracy.

[0103] Due to the existence of the siphon passage 221, after the inflation device 210 stops inflating, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 220 will continue to flow out under the siphon effect. To solve this problem, the liquid seasoning feeding device also includes a suction device 250. The liquid seasoning feeding operation also includes: after the inflation device 210 stops inflating, the suction device 250 evacuates the liquid storage tank 220 to make the liquid level of the siphon passage 221 retreat to a position passing through and below the siphon point. The above operation can release the siphon state, and the liquid will no longer flow out. In addition, since the siphon point is higher than the liquid level in the liquid storage tank 220, the liquid in the liquid storage tank 220 will not leak out, thereby improving stability.

[0104] Combination Figure 2 In this embodiment, step S20 further includes:

[0105] S23: Setting a material unloading instruction, the material unloading instruction includes setting a material unloading device that needs to perform the material unloading operation and setting a material unloading amount of the corresponding material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation. The material unloading mechanism that needs to perform the material unloading operation includes a solid seasoning unloading mechanism 100 and a liquid seasoning unloading mechanism 200.

[0106] It should be noted here that the selection of the feeding mechanism and the setting of the feeding amount can be set manually by the user or automatically according to the built-in recipes and raw materials.

[0107] Combination Figure 5 In this embodiment, an annular thin wall 311 is provided on the rotating part 310, and an initial sensing structure 312 and a matching sensing structure 313 are provided on the annular thin wall 311 along the circumferential direction. The radial relative positions of the initial sensing structure 312 and the matching sensing structure 313 relative to the axis of the rotating part 310 are consistent with the radial relative positions of the plurality of selection positions 340 relative to the axis of the rotating part 310. The selection mechanism 300 further includes a sensing device 314 provided at the rotation path of the initial sensing structure 312 and the matching sensing structure 313.

[0108] The step of making the interference part 320 reach the initial position 330 includes:

[0109] The rotating portion 310 rotates until the sensing device 314 senses the initial sensing structure 312 and then stops.

[0110] Specifically, the initial sensing structure 312 is three adjacently arranged grating gaps on the rotating part 310, the matching sensing structure 313 is a single grating gap on the rotating part 310, the sensing device 314 is a grating sensor, and the grating sensor can output a feedback signal when the grating gap passes, and the step of stopping after the sensing device 314 senses the initial sensing structure 312 specifically includes:

[0111] The rotating part 310 stops when the grating sensor outputs three continuous feedback signals corresponding to the number of grating gaps of the initial sensing structure 312 , so that the rotating part 310 can stay at the initial position 330 accurately.

[0112] By adopting such a structure, the following advantages are achieved: only one grating sensor is needed to realize position positioning, and the cost is low. In addition, in this solution, whether the interference part 320 can accurately stay at the initial position 330 or the selected position 340 depends on whether the radial relative position of the initial sensing structure 312 and the matching sensing structure 313 can be kept consistent with the radial relative positions of the multiple selected positions 340 and the initial position 330. The existing processing accuracy can easily achieve the accuracy requirements of the device, and has a lower manufacturing cost than using a high-precision sensor.

[0113] The present invention also provides an automatic cooking method, comprising the solid-liquid seasoning feeding method as described above.

Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
