[0019] As Figures 1-6 shown, an unmanned intelligent barbecue system includes: a mobile cabin 1, the interior of the mobile cabin 1 is provided with a refrigerated storage module, a barbecue module and a meal pickup port; a food transfer module configured to transfer the food in the refrigerated storage module to the barbecue module and transfer the cooked food to the meal pickup port; a control module communicatively connected to the refrigerated storage module, the barbecue module and the transfer module, and programmed to execute: generating a target food scheduling path according to a user order instruction; controlling the barbecue module to bake the target food according to a corresponding preset temperature - time curve; triggering the meal pickup action of the food transfer module based on the doneness data fed back by the barbecue module.
[0020] The mobile cabin 1 serves as the carrier of the entire system, facilitating the movement and deployment of the system at different locations.
[0021] The mobile cabin 1 can be composed of a stainless steel skeleton and a fireproof and heat-insulating board. In other embodiments, electric lifting rods can be provided at the bottom of the mobile cabin 1 to ensure the overall stability after deployment.
[0022] The refrigerated storage module is used to store the food to be barbecued to maintain the freshness of the food.
[0023] The barbecue module can be an intelligent barbecue machine 3. Under the scheduling of the control module, it can bake the food according to the baking temperature and baking duration of different types of food preset in the control module or stored in a memory signal-connected to the control module.
[0024] Above the intelligent barbecue machine 3, a seasoning module can also be set up, where cumin powder, chili powder and salt can be placed. After receiving the customer order information fed back by the control module, the seasoning module can season the grilled food.
[0025] It should be noted that the intelligent barbecue machine 3 has been applied in the field of semi-automatic barbecue, and its specific structure or working principle will not be elaborated in this embodiment.
[0026] The food transfer module is used to transfer the food in the cold storage module to the barbecue machine 3 and transfer the grilled food to the food pickup port.
[0027] The food transfer module is scheduled by the control module. The control module receives the order information and then controls the food transfer module to grab different types of food according to the movement.
[0028] This intelligent barbecue system can achieve unmanned operation. After the customer places an order, each module in the system cooperates with each other and bakes the food according to the corresponding instructions, which can not only reduce the labor cost but also ensure the baking quality of the food, and has good application prospects.
[0029] In some further embodiments, the cold storage module includes: an RFID shelf 2 management unit configured to identify the food position through radio frequency signals; a dual-temperature storage bin including a freezer and a refrigerator.
[0030] The freezer is used for long-term storage of food, and the temperature is controlled in the range of -20°C to -15°C, which is suitable for storing various meat foods. The refrigerator is used for short-term storage of food, and the temperature is controlled in the range of 2°C to 6°C, which is suitable for storing leafy vegetables.
[0031] In some further embodiments, the RFID shelf 2 management unit includes a shelf 2. In the shelf 2, a plurality of partition areas are arranged in sequence in the up-down direction. In any partition area, a plurality of partition cavities are arranged in sequence in the width direction of the shelf 2. An RFID tag is provided below each partition cavity, and the RFID tag in any partition cavity is bound to the food attributes in the partition cavity and synchronized to the database scheduled by the control module.
[0032] The partition cavities in the shelf 2 are arranged in rows and columns. An RFID tag is correspondingly arranged on the front side below each partition cavity, which can be a high-frequency (HF, 13.56 MHz) or passive ultra-high-frequency (UHF, 860 - 960 MHz) tag. At the same time, information such as the type of food, baking time or SKU code is written. At the same time, a plurality of multi-antenna readers are arranged above or on the side of the shelf 2 to cover the entire shelf 2 area.
[0033] After the user places an order successfully, the control module receives the feedback information, checks the database to determine the corresponding ingredient types, and then the multi-antenna reader / writer scans to determine the specific coordinates of the specific ingredients (relative to the ingredient transfer module). The control module receives the coordinate information and controls the robotic arm 4 to move to accurately pick up the ingredients.
[0034] In other embodiments, a certain type of ingredient can always be stored in the special separation cavity. Thus, when the user places an order, the control module can directly receive the specific coordinates of the ingredient corresponding in the database.
[0035] It should be noted that in the field of warehousing, the technology of identifying and picking different types of goods through the transfer mechanism has been relatively mature, which is the prior art, and its specific algorithm and working principle will not be elaborated in this embodiment.
[0036] In some further embodiments, an order-taking display screen 12 is embedded on the side wall of the mobile cabin 1, and the display screen is signal-connected to the control module.
[0037] The order-taking display screen 12 is used to provide a human-computer interaction interface for the user to place an order.
[0038] The control module can be integrated on a PCB board that is signal-connected to the display screen.
[0039] In other embodiments, the control module can also be set separately and communicate through wired (RS485 protocol) or wireless (ZigBee, Wi-Fi, etc.).
[0040] In some further embodiments, the placement shelf 2 is located in the dual-temperature storage bin. The upper part of the placement shelf 2 is located in the freezing bin, and the lower part of the placement shelf 2 is located in the refrigerating bin; or, the upper part of the placement shelf 2 is located in the freezing bin, and the lower part of the placement shelf 2 is located in the refrigerating bin.
[0041] The placement shelf 2 is located in the entire dual-temperature storage bin. Its upper part can be the freezing bin, and its lower part can be the refrigerating bin, or its upper part is the freezing bin and its lower part is the refrigerating bin.
[0042] In some further embodiments, the ingredient transfer module is the robotic arm 4; a clamping part is provided at the execution end of the robotic arm 4; a 3D vision camera is provided at the execution end of the robotic arm 4.
[0043] The robotic arm 4 can adopt a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm 4. A clamping part is provided at the execution end of the robotic arm 4, and the clamping part can be a pneumatic clamping part for clamping the ingredients (skewer racks).
[0044] To further improve the accuracy of the robotic arm 4 in gripping food ingredients, a 3D vision camera is also provided at the execution end of the robotic arm 4. Through the image capture of the 3D vision camera, the feature points of the food ingredients can be effectively identified, enabling the robotic arm 4 to grasp more accurately and efficiently.
[0045] It should be noted that the application of vision cameras in industry is already very extensive and is an existing technology. Its structure and working principle will not be elaborated in this embodiment.
[0046] In addition, in other embodiments, an automatic induction cabinet door is provided in the dual-temperature storage bin. When the robotic arm 4 picks up food ingredients, the automatic induction cabinet door automatically opens. After the food ingredients are picked up, the automatic induction cabinet door closes to ensure the hygiene level of the food ingredients in the shelf 2 and also reduce the loss of cold air.
[0047] Specifically, the induction cabinet door can be realized by a pulling method, and the pulling and sliding of the cabinet door are driven by an electric slide rail (such as a linear slide rail driven by a stepping motor).
[0048] In other embodiments, an electric heating module can also be provided at the installation location of the linear slide rail to prevent condensation water from freezing and jamming.
[0049] The induction can be realized by an infrared proximity sensor, which can be set on the outer side of the cabinet door frame to detect the robotic arm 4.
[0050] The signal of the robotic arm 4 sensed is fed back to the control module through the infrared proximity sensor. The control module makes a secondary judgment through the 3D vision camera. When the cabinet door is fully opened, the robotic arm 4 continues to execute the action of picking up food ingredients.
[0051] As Figure 6 shown, in some further embodiments, the mobile cabin 1 includes a storage area 200, a working area 300, and a meal pickup area 500.
