[0002] In the field of food processing automatic control technology, the process control of traditional marinated food processing production lines has long relied on manual operation mode. Specifically, the workshop operators need to check the processing parameters such as temperature and time of each steam boiler in real time, and manually control the processing of marinated food based on personal experience to control the flavor of the product. The core of this traditional control method is to maintain the stability of the processing parameters through manual intervention, but it has exposed many technical defects in actual production.
[0003] From the perspective of product quality control, the existing technology highly depends on manual experience, which leads to significant differences in key indicators such as softness and flavor of the same batch of food in the same workshop. For example, the deviation of manual temperature threshold judgment or the delay of time control will directly affect the Maillard reaction process and the efficiency of spice penetration, and thus cause insufficient flavor consistency. This quality fluctuation is caused by the fact that manual operation cannot accurately reproduce standardized process parameters, making it difficult to control the quality of finished products.

Specifically, the processing adjustable parameters of this stage are extracted from the PLC control system based on the current processing time period, including temperature parameters, pressure parameters, processing time, and steam proportional valve opening. The real-time collected data is filtered and denoised to eliminate sensor fluctuation interference, and the parameter time sequence is generated. The processing adjustable parameter threshold is established according to the historical production data and the expert experience model. When the processing adjustable parameter exceeds the corresponding threshold, it is marked as a single-parameter abnormality, and a maintenance work order is automatically generated, including abnormal parameter log and occurrence time, which is processed by the feedback maintenance personnel.

[0026] Compared with the existing design, the recipe description information and monitoring instructions uploaded by the workshop management system are automatically acquired and processed by the PLC control system, reducing manual intervention and improving the automation and intelligence level of the production line.

The flavor hierarchical parameter group is converted into a calculable 10-dimensional feature vector, which specifically includes the number of batches, the time points of each batch, the amount of each batch, the characteristic values of the injection rate curve, and the proportion of spice components. The flavor parameter weight is added to the original distance inverse method calculation to calculate the flavor feature vector of different products. The flavor parameter weight is defined by an expert experience model to define the basic weight. The initial grouping is generated by K-means clustering of the flavor feature vector of the first batch of products. The initial similarity threshold of each group is set by an expert experience model. The gradient descent algorithm is run once every 24 hours to optimize the flavor parameter weight in the distance inverse method calculation. A servo motor driven spice injection pump and an integrated flow sensor are installed in the cooking pot, which communicates with the PLC control system through a communication protocol and transmits the flow and cumulative injection amount in real time. A three-dimensional fuzzy control model is constructed, in which the input variables are temperature deviation (actual temperature-set temperature), pressure deviation (actual pressure-set pressure), and spice deviation (actual injection amount-set injection amount), and the output variables are temperature adjustment amount, pressure adjustment amount, and spice adjustment amount. Each variable defines 7 fuzzy sets, including negative large, negative medium, negative small, zero, positive small, positive medium, and positive large. The membership function adopts a triangular membership function to calculate the membership degree of the real-time deviation value in each fuzzy set. The basic rules are defined by an expert experience model, and the rules are supplemented through correlation analysis of historical production data to generate corresponding adjustment rules. When multiple rules are triggered, the rule with the maximum membership degree product is executed first. The output of the three-dimensional fuzzy control model is transmitted to the PLC control system through the ModbusTCP protocol. Based on the parameter collaborative adjustment of the fuzzy control, the requirements of industrial batch production are met.

[0030] Compared with the existing design, by splitting the processing time period into flavor sub-stages according to the flavor formation rule, each sub-stage corresponds to a specific flavor substance generation interval (such as a Maillard reaction section, a spice penetration section), so that the generation of flavor substances can be more accurately controlled. By establishing a three-dimensional parameter group of temperature parameter group, pressure parameter group, and flavor layering parameter group, fine regulation of multiple key factors in the flavor formation process is realized, which helps to improve the stability and consistency of product flavor. The use of steam pressure interval control of water activity and spice diffusion efficiency accelerates the penetration of spice molecules into the food interior. At the same time, by controlling the exhaust pressure threshold to control the oxidative atmosphere in the pot, the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids to produce rancid taste is avoided, and the formation of pore structure is promoted by pressure fluctuation to provide more sites for spice adsorption. Through fine regulation of the batch, single feeding amount, feeding time point, and feeding rate, the adsorption rate at different depths in the food is matched to realize uniform distribution and efficient aggregation of flavor substances.
