BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0074] Figure 1 It is a flowchart of the steps of a method for cooking food materials using a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention;

[0075] Figure 2 It is a structural block diagram of a food cooking device of a cooking device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0076] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0077] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present invention is to detect target ingredients through the recipe information set by the user, and determine the target cleaning method according to the detection results of the target ingredients, and automatically cut and cook the ingredients after cleaning, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire cooking process, realizing the automation of the entire process from ingredient preparation to cooking completion, and bringing users a more convenient and efficient cooking experience.

[0078] Reference Figure 1 , shows a flowchart of a method for cooking food ingredients using a cooking device provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the method may specifically include the following steps:

[0079] Step 101, selecting target ingredients of target quantity from ingredients put into the cooking device according to recipe information set by the user;

[0080] When using a cooking device, the user can select or input the recipe information they want to make through the device user interface. This information includes the name of the dish, the type of ingredients required and their quantity, cooking time and temperature, etc. After receiving the recipe information, the main control unit will identify and select the required ingredients from the ingredients placed in the cooking device according to the preset algorithm and database. The main control unit detects and identifies the ingredients placed in the cooking device through built-in sensors (such as cameras, weight sensors, gas sensors, etc.). These sensors can detect information such as the type, freshness, and weight of the ingredients to ensure that the selected ingredients meet the requirements of the recipe. For example, if the user chooses the dish "Tomato Scrambled Eggs" for two people, the main control unit will identify the tomatoes and eggs placed in the device, and accurately select a certain number of tomatoes and an appropriate amount of eggs according to the quantity required by the recipe.

[0081] In addition, the main control unit of the cooking equipment can not only accurately select the target ingredients in the target quantity according to the user's recipe information, but also automatically complete the entire process from ingredient processing to cooking, greatly improving the efficiency and automation level of cooking, and bringing users a more convenient and high-quality cooking experience.

[0082] Step 102, obtaining detection information of the target food; the detection information includes: at least one of roughness information, shape information, size information, pesticide residue information, hardness information and odor information;

[0083] By detecting the roughness of the surface of ingredients, the freshness and maturity of the ingredients can be judged. For example, fresh fruits and vegetables usually have a smooth surface, while the surface of aged or damaged ingredients may become rough. Roughness information helps to screen the most suitable ingredients for cooking and ensure the freshness and taste of the ingredients. Shape information can help identify the type and integrity of ingredients. For example, different types of vegetables and fruits have different shape characteristics. Shape detection can ensure that the selected ingredients meet the requirements of the recipe. In addition, shape information can also be used to determine whether the ingredients are complete and avoid using damaged or deformed ingredients, thereby improving the appearance and quality of dishes.

[0084] Size information is crucial for controlling the amount of ingredients. By detecting the size of ingredients, you can ensure that the amount of ingredients selected meets the requirements of the recipe. For example, when making "scrambled eggs with tomatoes", you need tomatoes of a certain size and an appropriate amount of eggs. Accurate detection of size information helps to achieve accurate amounts of ingredients and ensure the taste and nutritional balance of the dishes. Pesticide residue information is an important indicator of food safety. By detecting pesticide residues in ingredients, the safety of ingredients can be ensured and harmful substances can be prevented from entering the human body. This information is particularly important for home and professional kitchens, helping to improve the safety of food ingredients and user trust. Hardness information can reflect the maturity and texture of ingredients. For example, fruits and vegetables of different maturity have different hardness. By detecting hardness, you can ensure that the selected ingredients are in the best state of maturity. Hardness information also helps to determine whether ingredients are suitable for specific cooking methods, such as steaming, boiling, and stir-frying, thereby improving the taste and flavor of dishes.

[0085] Odor information can help detect whether ingredients have odor or are spoiled. For example, spoiled meat and fish may emit unpleasant odors. By detecting odors, unqualified ingredients can be found and removed in time to ensure the freshness and taste of the dishes. The comprehensive application of these detection information not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of ingredient processing, but also ensures the quality and safety of the final dishes, bringing users a more convenient and high-quality cooking experience.

[0086] Step 103, according to the detection information of the target food, determine a target cleaning method for the target food from preset cleaning methods and clean the target food according to the target cleaning method; the preset cleaning method includes at least one of ultrasonic cleaning, electrolyzed water cleaning and ozone cleaning;

[0087] According to the detection information of the target food, the target cleaning method for the target food is determined from the preset cleaning methods and the food is cleaned according to the target cleaning method to ensure the cleanliness, safety and quality of the final dish. This process comprehensively considers the characteristics of the food and selects the most appropriate cleaning method for different food, thereby improving the cleaning effect and cooking efficiency. In different cleaning methods, the different characteristics of the food have different emphases on their cleaning effect.

[0088] Ultrasonic cleaning uses the cavitation effect produced by high-frequency sound waves to remove dirt and microorganisms from the surface of food by creating a burst of tiny bubbles. Rough surfaces are easy to harbor dirt and dirt. For food with rough surfaces, the cavitation effect of ultrasound can penetrate these tiny parts and effectively remove dirt. Regular-shaped food is more likely to be evenly exposed to ultrasound, ensuring that all surfaces can be effectively cleaned. Ingredients with complex shapes may require longer cleaning times and higher ultrasound intensities to ensure thorough cleaning. The size of the food affects the uniformity and efficiency of cleaning. Smaller food can be more evenly distributed in the cleaning tank and receive uniform ultrasound, while larger food may require adjustment of cleaning parameters to ensure that every part can be fully cleaned. Hard food has different reflection and absorption characteristics for ultrasound, which affects the cleaning effect. Hard food is generally more able to withstand high-intensity ultrasonic cleaning, while soft food requires gentler cleaning conditions to avoid damaging the surface.

[0089] Electrolyzed water cleaning generates strong oxidants such as sodium hypochlorite through electrolysis of water, which has powerful sterilization and decontamination capabilities. Oxidants such as sodium hypochlorite in electrolyzed water can effectively degrade and remove pesticide residues. For food with a lot of pesticide residues, electrolyzed water cleaning can significantly improve their safety. The hardness of the food affects the permeability and cleaning effect of electrolyzed water. The surface of hard food is relatively dense, and electrolyzed water can cover the surface more evenly and improve the cleaning effect; while soft food may require adjustment of the concentration of electrolyzed water and cleaning time to ensure thorough cleaning.

[0090] Ozone cleaning uses the strong oxidizing property of ozone to effectively remove microorganisms, odors and pesticide residues on the surface of food. Ozone has a strong deodorizing ability and can effectively remove odors from food. For food with strong odors, ozone cleaning can significantly improve their taste and smell. The strong oxidizing property of ozone can degrade pesticide molecules and remove pesticide residues. For food with a lot of pesticide residues, ozone cleaning can improve their safety. The roughness of the food surface affects the contact area and permeability of ozone. Rough surfaces are prone to dirt and grime, and ozone can penetrate into these subtle parts and effectively remove dirt and odors.

[0091] Step 104, after the target food is cleaned, cutting the target food according to the recipe information;

[0092] Recipe information usually contains specific requirements for cutting ingredients, such as slicing, dicing, shredding, etc. Cutting according to the recipe information can ensure that the shape and size of the ingredients meet the cooking requirements, thereby ensuring the taste and appearance of the dish. For example, the thickness of the slices and the size of the dices will directly affect the cooking time and final effect of the dish. Cutting with automated equipment can ensure that the shape and size of each piece of ingredient are consistent, avoiding the unevenness caused by manual cutting. Consistency not only improves the appearance of the dish, but also ensures that the ingredients are heated evenly during the cooking process, avoiding the problem of some ingredients being overcooked or undercooked.

[0093] At the same time, the automated cutting process can significantly improve the efficiency of food processing. Compared with manual cutting, automated equipment can complete the cutting of a large number of ingredients in a short time, saving time and labor. This is very beneficial for both commercial kitchens and home kitchens, especially when a large number of ingredients need to be processed. Precise cutting can maximize the use of ingredients and reduce waste. Automated equipment can accurately cut according to recipe requirements to avoid food waste caused by improper cutting. For example, slicing too thick or too thin may lead to a decrease in the utilization rate of ingredients, and automated cutting can avoid these problems. Automated cutting equipment usually has higher hygiene standards and can effectively avoid bacteria and contaminants that may be introduced during manual cutting. The cleaned ingredients are cut by automated equipment to ensure the hygiene and safety of the entire processing process and improve the safety of the ingredients. Through automated equipment to cut according to recipe information, users can easily realize the automation of the entire process from ingredient preparation to cooking. Users only need to put the cleaned ingredients into the equipment, and the equipment will automatically complete the cutting, which greatly improves the user's convenience and cooking experience.

[0094] Step 105: After the target ingredients are cut, the target ingredients are cooked according to the recipe information.

[0095] After the target ingredients are cut, cooking according to the recipe information is a key step, which ensures that the ingredients can be processed and presented in the best way. The cut ingredients already have the basic shape and size, which lays the foundation for the subsequent cooking process. The recipe information not only provides specific cooking methods, but also includes key parameters such as temperature, time, seasoning, etc. This information can guide chefs or cooks on how to transform ingredients into delicious dishes.

[0096] During the cooking process, the appropriate amount of seasoning is automatically distributed from the storage bin to the cooking area according to the instructions of the control unit. The whole process includes: opening the distribution valve and releasing the appropriate amount of seasoning. Specifically, the seasoning is transported to the cooking area through the transmission device. And the metering device ensures that the amount of seasoning added meets the recipe requirements. In addition, it also includes a heating device and a stirring device. The heating device provides a heat source, and the stirring device continuously stirs the ingredients during the cooking process to ensure that the ingredients are evenly heated.

[0097] Different ingredients require different processing methods. For example, meat may need to be fried, roasted or stewed, while vegetables may need to be stir-fried, steamed or boiled. The guidance in the recipe information can ensure that each ingredient achieves the best taste and flavor during the cooking process. In addition, the temperature and time control during the cooking process are also very important. Too high or too low temperature, too long or too short time may affect the texture and taste of the ingredients. By following the recipe information, cooks can ensure that the ingredients are properly processed during the cooking process to maximize their nutritional value and flavor. Ultimately, this can not only improve the overall quality of the dish, but also ensure that each dish can achieve the expected taste and taste and meet the expectations of diners.

[0098] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the detection information of the target food includes: obtaining image information of the target food taken by a camera; and detecting roughness information, shape information and size information of the target food according to the image information of the target food.

[0099] The cooking equipment is equipped with an advanced camera system that can monitor the entire cooking process in real time, and the control unit can take videos and pictures when necessary. This function not only improves the visualization of the cooking process, but also provides data support for precise control. By obtaining the image information of the target ingredients taken by the camera, the cooking equipment can flexibly use image recognition technology to deeply analyze the roughness information, shape information and size information of the ingredients. This information is crucial to ensure that the ingredients are in the best state during the cooking process. Through this intelligent detection and analysis, the cooking equipment can achieve refined management of ingredients, thereby improving the taste and quality of the dishes and ensuring that every dish can meet the expected standards.

[0100] In addition, after cooking is completed, the control unit controls the output unit to output the food to a designated location for the user to take.

[0101] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the detection information of the target food further includes: obtaining gas concentration information of the target food detected by gas chromatography; and determining the pesticide residue information of the target food according to the gas concentration information of the target food.

[0102] In the process of obtaining the detection information of the target ingredients, cooking equipment also introduced gas chromatography technology to detect the gas concentration information of the ingredients. Gas chromatography uses gas as the mobile phase, evaporates the sample mixture by heating, then separates the components through the chromatographic column, and finally the detector accurately determines the concentration of each component. This technology is particularly important in the field of food safety because it can effectively detect pesticide residue information in ingredients. By analyzing the gas concentration, it can be determined whether there are harmful pesticide residues in the ingredients, thereby ensuring the safety and health of the ingredients. This multi-level detection method not only improves the quality control level of ingredients, but also provides consumers with safer and more reliable food choices.

[0103] In one embodiment, the obtaining of the detection information of the target food further includes: obtaining the texture characteristics of the target food detected by a texture analyzer; and determining the hardness information of the target food according to the texture characteristics of the target food.

[0104] In the process of obtaining the detection information of the target ingredients, the cooking equipment also uses a texture analyzer to detect the texture characteristics of the ingredients, especially the hardness information. The texture analyzer is a precision instrument that measures the texture characteristics of the material by applying precisely controlled force and recording the response of the sample during compression, tension or other deformation. Its core components include loading units, sensors, control systems and software. The loading unit is responsible for applying precise force, which can be compression or tension; the sensor is used to measure the applied force and the deformation (displacement) of the sample; the control system and software are used to set test parameters, control the experimental process, and record and analyze data.

[0105] Specifically, first, the texture analyzer is started, and the indenter begins to move downward and contact the surface of the food sample. Subsequently, the indenter continues to apply force, gradually compressing the sample, and the sensor records the applied force and corresponding displacement in real time. When the preset maximum compression force or displacement is reached, the test stops. With these data, the hardness information of the target food can be accurately determined, which is crucial for evaluating the maturity, texture and cooking suitability of the food.

[0106] This multi-level testing method not only improves the quality control level of ingredients, but also provides a scientific basis for the cooking process.

[0107] In one embodiment, the acquiring detection information of the target food further includes: acquiring odor information around the target food detected by a gas sensor; and determining odor information of the target food based on the odor information around the target food.

[0108] In the process of obtaining the detection information of the target ingredients, the cooking equipment also introduces gas sensors to detect the odor information around the ingredients. The gas sensor can sensitively capture the odor around the ingredients and determine whether the ingredients have odors based on this odor information. Odor information is crucial for evaluating the freshness and safety of ingredients, because odors often indicate that the ingredients may have deteriorated or been contaminated. Through real-time monitoring by gas sensors, cooking equipment can promptly detect and handle ingredients with odors, ensuring that every ingredient used in the cooking process meets high standards of safety and quality. This multi-level detection method not only improves the quality control level of ingredients, but also provides additional protection for the cooking process. Combining image recognition, gas chromatography, texture analyzer and gas sensor technology, cooking equipment can comprehensively and accurately evaluate the various indicators of ingredients, ensure that each dish meets the expected standards, and provide consumers with safer and more reliable food choices.

[0109] In one embodiment, determining a target cleaning method for the target food from preset cleaning methods based on the detection information of the target food includes: normalizing various detection information of the target food; obtaining detection information values ​​after the normalization of the various detection information; obtaining weights corresponding to the preset cleaning methods; obtaining scoring values ​​of the preset cleaning methods based on the detection information values ​​and the weights corresponding to the preset cleaning methods; and determining the target cleaning method based on the scoring values.

[0110] Normalize various detection information of the target food, and determine the roughness information x, shape information y, size information z, pesticide residue information q, hardness information p, and odor information w of the target food, and the value range of x, y, z, q, p, and w is [1,10].

[0111] The weights corresponding to ultrasonic cleaning are: x1, y1, z1, q1, p1, w1;

[0112] The weights corresponding to electrolyzed water cleaning are: x2, y2, z2, q2, p2, w2;

[0113] The weights corresponding to ozone cleaning are: x3, y3, z3, q3, p3, w3;

[0114] The scoring value of ultrasonic cleaning is F1 = x1×x+y1×y+z1×z+q1×q+p1×p+w1×w;

[0115] The scoring value of electrolytic water cleaning is F2 = x2×x+y2×y+z2×z+q2×q+p2×p+w2×w;

[0116] The score of ozone cleaning is F3 = x3×x+y3×y+z3×z+q3×q+p3×p+w3×w;

[0117] The cleaning method with the highest score for the target ingredient is determined as the cleaning method for the target ingredient, and the corresponding cleaning methods for various target ingredients are determined for various target ingredients. The dimensional differences between different detection information are eliminated through normalization processing, so that each information can be compared on the same scale, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the score. Through weight allocation, personalized adjustments can be made based on the characteristics of different ingredients and cleaning methods to further optimize the cleaning effect. Ultimately, this comprehensive evaluation method can effectively improve the efficiency and safety of food cleaning and ensure that the ingredients are in the best condition before cooking.

[0118] In one embodiment, the cleaning of the target food according to the target cleaning method includes: when the target cleaning method is ultrasonic cleaning, obtaining a preset cleaning frequency, cleaning power and cleaning time; performing ultrasonic cleaning on the target food according to the cleaning frequency, cleaning power and cleaning time; when the target cleaning method is electrolyzed water cleaning, obtaining a preset electrolysis current and cleaning time; performing electrolyzed water cleaning on the target food according to the electrolysis current and cleaning time; when the target cleaning method is ozone cleaning, obtaining a preset ozone concentration and injection time; performing ozone cleaning on the target food according to the ozone concentration and injection time.

[0119] Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency vibration to generate tiny bubbles that burst in the liquid, thereby generating a powerful cleaning force. The cleaning frequency determines the speed of bubble generation and the fineness of cleaning, the cleaning power affects the intensity of cleaning, and the cleaning time ensures a sufficient cleaning cycle. By precisely controlling these parameters, dirt and microorganisms on the surface of food can be effectively removed, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the food.

[0120] Electrolyzed water cleaning produces highly oxidizing hypochlorous acid through electrolysis, which can effectively kill bacteria and viruses. The size of the electrolysis current directly affects the amount of hypochlorous acid generated, while the cleaning time ensures sufficient contact time so that hypochlorous acid can fully act on the surface of the food. By reasonably setting the electrolysis current and cleaning time, the cleaning effect can be maximized and the safety of the food can be ensured.

[0121] Ozone has strong oxidizing properties and can effectively decompose organic pollutants and kill microorganisms. The control of ozone concentration determines the intensity of cleaning, while the injection time ensures that ozone has sufficient contact with the surface of the food. By precisely controlling the ozone concentration and injection time, efficient and thorough cleaning can be achieved to ensure the hygiene and safety of the food.

[0122] In one embodiment, after the target food is cleaned, the target food is cut according to the recipe information, including: determining the cutting parameters of the target food according to the recipe information; the cutting parameters include: at least one of thickness, size, shape and direction; obtaining the position information of the target food; adjusting the position information of the tool according to the cutting parameters of the target food and the position information of the target food; the position information of the tool includes the height information and angle information of the tool; after adjusting the position information of the tool and the position information of the food for the target food, cutting the target food according to the cutting parameters.

[0123] The control unit of the device matches the results of image recognition with the recipe requirements set by the user and generates specific cutting parameters. These parameters include cutting thickness, shape and direction, etc., to ensure that the ingredients can be accurately cut according to the recipe requirements. The key to achieving this goal is the automatic adjustment of the cutting device, which includes an adjustable knife, a transmission system and a sensor feedback system. The adjustable knife can adjust the height, angle and position of the knife according to the control signal; the transmission system controls the movement and positioning of the ingredients to ensure the accuracy of the cutting; the sensor feedback system monitors the cutting process in real time to ensure the accurate execution of the cutting parameters, and the cutting can also be peeled. During the cutting process, the cutting device automatically adjusts according to the generated cutting parameters and performs the cutting operation. The specific steps include positioning the ingredients, adjusting the knife and performing the cutting action. Positioning the ingredients ensures that the ingredients are fixed in the appropriate position; adjusting the knife adjusts the knife settings according to the cutting parameters; and the cutting operation cuts the ingredients into the required thickness and shape. During the monitoring and feedback stage, the device's sensors and image recognition system continuously monitor the cutting effect. If any deviation or error is detected, the system automatically adjusts the cutting parameters or issues an alarm.

[0124] After cutting, the equipment will transfer the cut ingredients to the next process or directly provide them to the user. The entire process uses image recognition, data analysis, automatic adjustment and real-time monitoring to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the cutting of ingredients, improve cooking efficiency and dish quality, and provide consumers with safer and more reliable food choices.
