[0033] Reference Figure 1 This is a schematic flow chart of a material box feeding method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising steps S110 to S130.

[0034] Step S110, receiving a feeding signal, and extracting a target seasoning ID from the feeding signal;

[0035] Step S120, querying whether there is a corresponding target seasoning box in the current feeding box based on the target seasoning ID;

[0036] Step S130: If yes, start the wireless power supply, and control the target seasoning box to feed the seasoning through wireless communication.

[0037] In some possible implementations, after receiving the feeding signal, the feeding signal is parsed to extract the seasoning ID of the target seasoning to be fed, that is, the target seasoning ID; then based on the target seasoning ID, it is queried whether there is a target seasoning box corresponding to the target seasoning ID in the current feeding box; if there is a target seasoning box in the current feeding box, the wireless power supply is turned on, and the target seasoning box is controlled by wireless communication to feed. Among them, the target seasoning box is equipped with powdered seasoning or liquid seasoning, and the powdered seasoning can be white sugar, edible salt or chili powder, etc.; the liquid seasoning can be soy sauce, aged vinegar, etc. In actual applications, the feeding signal sent by the user can be obtained through the human-computer interaction window, and it can also be automatically identified according to the preset visual recognition whether the current feeding box needs to be fed, thereby obtaining the feeding signal. In addition, through wireless power supply, the stable operation of the feeding device is effectively guaranteed, and the reliability of power supply is guaranteed.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, step S120 includes:

[0039] Step S210, querying whether there is a box ID corresponding to the target seasoning ID among all the box IDs in the current feeding box;

[0040] Step S221: If yes, determine whether the target seasoning box exists in the feeding box;

[0041] Step S222: If not, determine that the target seasoning box does not exist in the feeding box.

[0042] In some possible implementations, the process of querying whether there is a corresponding target seasoning box in the current feeding box includes: querying whether there is a feeding box ID corresponding to the target seasoning ID among all the feeding box IDs in the current feeding box; if there is a feeding box ID corresponding to the target seasoning ID among all the feeding box IDs, it is judged that the target seasoning box exists in the feeding box; if there is no feeding box ID corresponding to the target seasoning ID among all the feeding box IDs, it is judged that the target seasoning box does not exist in the feeding box.

[0043] For example, in the currently received feeding signal, the target seasoning ID extracted is 03; if there are seasoning boxes 01, 02, 03, and 04 in the current feeding box, then the seasoning box 01 corresponding to the target seasoning ID exists in the current feeding box; if there are only seasoning boxes 01, 02, and 04 in the current feeding box, then the seasoning box 01 corresponding to the target seasoning ID does not exist in the current feeding box.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, step S130 includes:

[0045] Step S310, generating a feeding instruction, and sending the feeding instruction to the target seasoning box based on wireless communication;

[0046] Step S320: In response to the feeding instruction, start the driving device corresponding to the target seasoning box to feed.

[0047] In some possible implementations, when wireless power supply is turned on, a feeding instruction is generated and sent to the target seasoning box via wireless communication; in response to the feeding instruction, a drive device corresponding to the target seasoning box is started to feed. In actual applications, the drive device may be a pump or a motor.

[0048] In some possible implementations, the feeding instruction is transmitted via NFC communication. NFC (Near Field Communication) is developed based on contactless radio frequency identification (RFID) technology combined with wireless interconnection technology. Devices using NFC technology (such as mobile phones) can exchange data when they are close to each other.

[0049] In some possible implementations, after the driving device corresponding to the target seasoning box is started to feed, when the feeding stops, a completion signal indicating that the feeding is completed is generated; in response to the completion signal, the wireless power supply and the wireless communication are turned off.

[0050] When receiving a feeding signal, the embodiment of the present application extracts the target seasoning ID from the feeding signal; based on the target seasoning ID, it is queried whether there is a corresponding target seasoning box in the current feeding box; if so, the wireless power supply is turned on, and the target seasoning box is controlled to feed through wireless communication, thereby realizing that the wireless power supply is turned on only when feeding is needed, and then the target seasoning box is controlled to feed through wireless communication, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the target feeding box. Compared with contact power supply, the power supply reliability is higher.

[0051] An embodiment of the present application also provides a feeding machine, comprising a plurality of seasoning boxes and a control module, wherein the control module executes the seasoning box feeding method as described in any one of the above items.

[0052] An embodiment of the present application also provides a material box feeding device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the processor is used to execute instructions stored in the memory so that the control device executes the material box feeding method described in the above embodiments.

[0053] An embodiment of the present application also provides a cooking robot, comprising a cooking device and the feeding device as described above.

[0054] An embodiment of the present application further provides a computer-readable storage medium, wherein the computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the processor executes the material box feeding method as described above.

[0055] Those skilled in the art should be aware that in one or more of the above examples, the functions described in the embodiments of the present application can be implemented with hardware, software, firmware, or any combination thereof. When implemented using software, these functions can be stored in a computer-readable medium or transmitted as one or more instructions or codes on a computer-readable medium. Computer-readable media include computer storage media and communication media, wherein the communication media include any media that facilitates the transmission of a computer program from one place to another. The storage medium can be any available medium that a general or special-purpose computer can access.

[0056] Note that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and the technical principles used. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and that various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of protection of the present application.
