[0036] Reference Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a material box feeding control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method comprising steps S110 to S140.

[0037] Step S110, obtaining the seasoning ID of the target seasoning, and determining the corresponding target seasoning box according to the seasoning ID;

[0038] Step S120, obtaining the weight of the seasoning in the target material box and the target delivery weight, and detecting whether the weight of the seasoning meets the target delivery weight;

[0039] Step S131, in response to the seasoning weight meeting the target delivery amount, generating a delivery instruction, and driving the target material box to deliver the seasoning according to the delivery instruction;

[0040] Step S132: In response to the seasoning weight not meeting the target delivery amount, an alarm message is generated and sent to the user.

[0041] In some possible implementations, when the seasoning ID of the target seasoning is received, the material box where the seasoning to be delivered is located, that is, the target material box, is determined according to the seasoning ID; then the seasoning weight in the target material box and the target delivery weight are obtained, and whether the seasoning weight meets the target delivery weight is detected; when the seasoning weight meets the target delivery weight, a delivery instruction is generated, and the target material box is driven to deliver the material according to the delivery instruction; when the seasoning weight does not meet the target delivery weight, an alarm message is generated and sent to the user. In actual applications, the seasoning ID sent by the user can be obtained through the human-computer interaction window, or the seasoning ID of the seasoning currently required to be delivered can be automatically identified according to the preset visual recognition, thereby obtaining the seasoning ID. In addition, the weight of the seasoning in the target material box is obtained by a sensor, and the sensor can be a weighing sensor, etc. By detecting the seasoning weight of the target material box, an automatic alarm can be realized when the seasoning storage amount is small, saving the cost of manual detection of the seasoning surplus.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in some possible implementations, step S120 includes:

[0043] Step S210, comparing whether the weight of the seasoning is greater than or equal to the target weight;

[0044] Step S221: If yes, determine whether the weight of the seasoning meets the target weight;

[0045] Step S222: If not, it is determined that the seasoning weight does not meet the target delivery weight.

[0046] In this embodiment, whether the seasoning weight meets the target delivery weight is detected, and the specific process includes: comparing whether the seasoning weight is greater than the target delivery weight. If the seasoning weight is greater than or equal to the target delivery weight, it is judged that the seasoning weight meets the target delivery weight, which means that the seasoning in the target material box can meet the current required delivery weight; if the seasoning weight is less than the target delivery weight, it is judged that the seasoning weight does not meet the target delivery weight, which means that the seasoning in the target material box cannot meet the current required delivery weight.

[0047] For example, the current target delivery weight is 5g, and the detected weight of seasoning in the target box is 10g, that is, the seasoning weight is greater than the target delivery weight, then the seasoning weight is judged to meet the target delivery weight; the current target delivery weight is 5g, and the detected weight of seasoning in the target box is 5g, that is, the seasoning weight is equal to the target delivery weight, then the seasoning weight is judged to meet the target delivery weight; the current target delivery weight is 5g, and the detected weight of seasoning in the target box is 3g, that is, the seasoning weight is less than the target delivery weight, then the seasoning weight is judged to meet the target delivery weight.

[0048] like Figure 3As shown, in some possible implementations, the material box feeding control method further includes:

[0049] Step S310: Real-time monitoring of whether the weight of the seasoning in the target material box reaches a preset minimum stock threshold;

[0050] Step S320: If yes, refill the target material box with seasoning.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the seasoning in the target material box from failing to meet the required weight, the target material box with insufficient seasoning needs to be replenished in real time. Specific measures include: real-time monitoring of the weight of the seasoning in the target material box, determining whether the weight of the seasoning in the target material box has reached the minimum stock threshold, and if so, replenishing the seasoning in the target material box. In practical applications, a spare material box with sufficient target seasoning can be set up to replace the target material box when the seasoning in the target material box is insufficient; or the seasoning in the spare material box can be transferred to the target material box, thereby replenishing the seasoning in the target material box.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, in some possible implementations, after step S131, the following steps are included:

[0053] Step S410, monitoring whether the weight of the seasoning added reaches the target weight;

[0054] Step S420: If yes, stop feeding.

[0055] In this embodiment, in order to prevent the dish from being ruined due to excessive seasoning, when controlling the target material box to add materials, it is necessary to monitor the weight change of the target material box through a sensor, and calculate whether the weight of the seasoning added reaches the target weight. If the calculated weight of the seasoning added reaches the target weight, stop adding materials.

[0056] The embodiment of the present application obtains the seasoning ID of the target seasoning and determines the corresponding target material box according to the seasoning ID; obtains the seasoning weight in the target material box and the target release weight, and detects whether the seasoning weight meets the target release weight; in response to the seasoning weight meeting the target release amount, generates a release instruction, and drives the target material box to release the material according to the release instruction; in response to the seasoning weight not meeting the target release amount, generates an alarm message, and sends the alarm message to the user, thereby realizing timely discovery of the seasoning storage status of the material box and saving human resources that can only be used to manually detect the seasoning remaining amount in the material box in traditional technology.

[0057] The 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 control method as described in any one of the above items.

[0058] An embodiment of the present application also provides a material box feeding control 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 control method described in the above embodiments.

[0059] An embodiment of the present application also provides a cooking robot, comprising a cooking device and a material box feeding control device as described above.

[0060] 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 control method as described above.
