They are merely for convenience of description, used to distinguish the relative positions of various components or directions, and do not represent the orientation of the system or functional components in this embodiment during use.
[0025] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an automatic feeding system for a cooking machine, including an AGV trolley 1, a lifting component 2, a tilting component 3, a vegetable basket component 4, and a seasoning bucket 5. The AGV trolley 1 carries the entire system and enables mobile conveying, facilitating automatic switching between the material handling and feeding stations. The lifting component 2 raises the lifting plate during loading to move the vegetable basket component 4 onto the lifting plate, and during feeding, raises the vegetable basket component 4 to a discharge height suitable for the cooking machine. The tilting component 3 drives the vegetable basket component 4 and the seasoning bucket 5 to tilt during the feeding process, ensuring directional output of the vegetables and seasonings. The vegetable basket component 4 holds the vegetables, and the tilting action ensures precise feeding into the cooking machine. The seasoning bucket 5 holds the seasonings, and the tilting action ensures precise feeding into the cooking machine. This automatic feeding system achieves fully automated operation of the cooking machine's feeding process, solving the problems of low efficiency and high labor intensity associated with manual feeding, and effectively improving the continuous operation capability and production efficiency of the cooking machine.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, all functional components are mounted on top of the AGV trolley 1. The AGV trolley 1 is an autonomous mobile platform used to support the entire automatic feeding system. Normally, the vegetable basket component 4 and the seasoning bin 5 are separate from the system. The AGV trolley 1 is driven by a preset program to move to the designated storage location of the vegetable basket component 4 or the seasoning bin 5 to retrieve materials, and then proceeds to the feeding station, realizing the switching between material retrieval and feeding stations. This, combined with the timing of the lifting component 2 and the tilting component 3, ensures precise coordination between material retrieval and feeding operations. The AGV trolley 1's body structure provides a stable mounting base for the lifting component 2's foundation support module 21, ensuring the entire system maintains structural stability during movement.
[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting assembly 2 includes a base support module 21 and a lifting execution module 22. The base support module 21 includes a mounting base plate 2101 and a bottom bracket 2102. The lifting execution module 22 includes a motor mounting plate 2201, a reversing electric cylinder 2202, a lifting plate 2203, a guide rod 2204, and a seasoning barrel tilting baffle 2205. The base support module 21 is mounted on the AGV trolley 1 to support the bottom bracket 2102 and the entire lifting assembly 2. The bottom bracket 2102 is mounted on the mounting base plate 2101 to support the lifting execution module 22 and determine its initial installation height. The motor mounting plate 2201 is mounted on the bottom bracket 2102 to fix the mating components of the reversing electric cylinder 2202 and the mounting guide rod 2204. A reversing electric cylinder 2202 is mounted on a motor mounting plate 2201, with its output end connected to a lifting plate 2203, used to drive the lifting plate 2203 to move up and down. The lifting plate 2203 is mounted on the output end of the reversing electric cylinder 2202 and carries the tilting assembly 3, rising and falling with the reversing electric cylinder 2202. A guide rod 2204 is mounted on the bottom of the lifting plate 2203 and cooperates with a guide component on the motor mounting plate 2201 to constrain the movement trajectory of the lifting plate 2203. A seasoning barrel tilting baffle 2205 is mounted on the motor mounting plate 2201 and is used to limit the tilting angle of the seasoning barrel 5 during tilting.
[0028] like Figure 3As shown, the flipping assembly 3 includes a flipping drive module 31, a flipping load transmission module 32, and a rotating shaft support module 33. The flipping drive module 31 includes a flipping cylinder tray 3101, a rotary motor mounting base 3102, and a flipping electric cylinder 3103. The flipping load transmission module 32 includes a transmission swing arm 3201, a rod end joint bearing 3202, a flipping basket plate 3203, a flipping basket plate reinforcing tube 3204, a seasoning flipping frame 3205, and a main shaft swing arm 3206. The rotating shaft support module 33 includes a bearing support 3301, a tilting shaft 3302, an auxiliary horizontal tube 3303, and a door opening stop 3304. The flipping assembly 3 is installed on the lifting plate 2203 of the lifting execution module 22 and is used to drive the vegetable basket assembly 4 and the seasoning bucket 5 to complete the flipping action during the feeding process, realizing the directional delivery of vegetables and seasonings. The tilting cylinder tray 3101 is installed below the lifting plate 2203 to integrate and support the rotary motor mounting base 3102 and the tilting electric cylinder 3103, forming the mounting base for the drive system. The rotary motor mounting base 3102 is installed on the tilting cylinder tray 3101 to accurately position the tilting electric cylinder 3103, ensuring that its output end is precisely mated with the rod end spherical bearing 3202.
[0029] The tilting electric cylinder 3103 is mounted on the rotary motor mounting base 3102 and outputs linear drive force to drive the transmission swing arm 3201 through the rod end spherical bearing 3202, providing power for the tilting action. The transmission swing arm 3201 is mounted below the tilting basket plate 3203 and connects the tilting basket plate 3203 to the rod end spherical bearing 3202, transmitting the driving force of the tilting electric cylinder 3103 to the tilting basket plate 3203. The rod end spherical bearing 3202 is mounted on the transmission swing arm 3201 and receives the driving force of the tilting electric cylinder 3103, transmitting it to the tilting basket plate 3203 through the transmission swing arm 3201. The tilting basket plate 3203 is mounted on the transmission swing arm 3201 and the main shaft swing arm 3206, and adopts a forklift-style protruding structure for inserting into the bottom of the basket assembly 4 and supporting its movement during the tilting action. The reinforcing tube 3204 of the flip-top plate is installed below the flip-top plate 3203 to enhance the structural rigidity of the flip-top plate 3203 and prevent deformation when carrying vegetables.
[0030] The seasoning tilting rack 3205 is mounted on the tilting basket plate 3203 via bearings. It is used to hold the seasoning bucket 5 and tilts synchronously with the tilting basket plate 3203 to complete the seasoning dispensing. The main shaft swing arm 3206 is symmetrically mounted on both ends of the tilting shaft 3302, with the other end connected to the tilting basket plate 3203. It is used to fix the tilting basket plate 3203 and make it rotate stably around the tilting shaft 3302. The bearing support 3301 is mounted on the lifting plate 2203 to support the tilting shaft 3302 and provide it with a rotation support point. The tilting shaft 3302 is installed in the bearing of the bearing support 3301, serving as the rotation center axis for the tilting action and ensuring the stability of the tilting trajectory of the tilting basket plate 3203. The auxiliary horizontal tube 3303 is mounted on the bearing support 3301 to fix the door opening block 3304 and determine its relative position with the vegetable basket assembly 4. The door opening stop 3304 is installed on the auxiliary horizontal tube 3303 and is used to contact the material frame door plate 43 of the vegetable basket assembly 4 when the flipping plate 3203 flips, triggering the door plate to open and release the vegetables.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the vegetable basket assembly 4 includes a basket body 41, a basket bottom tube 42, and a basket door panel 43. The vegetable basket assembly 4 is placed on the flipping plate 3203 of the flipping load-bearing transmission module 32, and is used to hold the vegetables to be cooked, cooperating with the flipping assembly 3 to complete the material retrieval and feeding actions. The basket body 41, as the main structure of the vegetable basket assembly 4, is used to hold the vegetables, and its shape is adapted to the forklift-style protrusion structure of the flipping plate 3203 to ensure stable placement. The basket bottom tube 42 is installed at the bottom of the basket body 41, distributed horizontally at intervals, to form a locking mechanism with the protrusion structure of the flipping plate 3203, achieving precise positioning and stable load-bearing of the vegetable basket. The material frame door panel 43 is hinged to the discharge side of the material frame basket 41 by a hinge, and is used to close the opening of the material frame basket 41. During the flipping process of the flipping plate 3203, it contacts the door opening block 3304 of the rotating shaft support module 33 and is opened by the pushing force, so that the internal vegetables are directionally output to the cooking machine along the discharge port.
[0032] like Figure 5As shown, the vegetable basket assembly 4 and the system device are in a combined feeding state. When picking up materials, the AGV trolley 1 carrying the system device moves to the storage location of the vegetable basket assembly 4. The electric cylinder 2202 of the lifting execution module 22 in the lifting assembly 2 drives the control system device to reach the predetermined height, so that the flipping plate 3203 of the flipping load transmission module 32 in the flipping assembly 3 is inserted into the bottom of the vegetable basket assembly 4 in a forklift-like structure. The flipping plate reinforcing tube 3204 and the bottom tube 42 of the vegetable basket assembly 4 form a locking position to stably load the vegetable basket assembly 4. Then, the AGV trolley 1 carries the loaded vegetable basket assembly 4 to the feeding station of the cooking machine. The lifting execution module 22 lifts the basket, and the flipping drive module 31 in the flipping assembly 3 operates, causing the flipping plate 3203 and the vegetable basket assembly 4 to flip around the tilting shaft 3302 of the rotating shaft support module 33 in the flipping assembly 3. The door opening block 3304 of the rotating shaft support module 33 triggers the opening of the material frame door 43 of the vegetable basket assembly 4, and the vegetables are poured into the cooking machine. After feeding is completed, all components are reset, and the AGV trolley 1 then sends the vegetable basket assembly 4 back to its separated storage position, waiting for the next feeding cycle.
[0033] like Figure 6 As shown, the seasoning bucket 5 is in a combined feeding state with the system device; the AGV trolley 1 acts as a mobile carrier, carrying the lifting component 2 and the tilting component 3; the lifting component 2 is used to adjust the height of the tilting component 3 to match the seasoning inlet of the cooking machine; the tilting component 3 is used to receive and drive the seasoning bucket 5 to tilt; the seasoning bucket 5 is used to hold the seasonings to be added. When picking up the seasonings, the AGV trolley 1 travels to the storage location of the seasoning bucket 5, the lifting component 2 moves, so that the supporting structure of the tilting component 3 connects with the seasoning bucket 5 and supports it securely; then the AGV trolley 1 moves to the seasoning feeding station of the cooking machine, the lifting component 2 lifts the tilting component 3 and the seasoning bucket 5 to the corresponding height, the tilting component 3 operates, driving the seasoning bucket 5 to tilt around the axis, pouring the seasonings into the cooking machine; after the feeding is completed, the tilting component 3 resets, the lifting component 2 lowers, and the AGV trolley 1 can send the seasoning bucket 5 back or proceed to the next feeding process.
[0034] The working principle of an automatic feeding system for a cooking machine is as follows:
[0035] The ingredients are pre-placed in the vegetable basket assembly 4 at the ingredient retrieval station, and the seasoning bucket 5 is placed at the seasoning bucket retrieval station. After the system starts, the AGV trolley 1 is driven to the ingredient retrieval station according to the preset program. The reversing electric cylinder 2202 of the lifting execution module 22 drives the lifting plate 2203 to move upward along the guide rod 2204, so that the flipping plate 3203 of the flipping load transmission module 32 is inserted into the bottom of the vegetable basket assembly 4 in a forklift-like structure. At this time, the flipping plate 3203 and the bottom tube 42 of the vegetable basket form a locking position, and the movement of the vegetable basket assembly 4 is restricted by mutual interlocking, so as to achieve stable loading.
[0036] The AGV trolley 1, carrying the vegetable basket assembly 4, moves to the feeding station. The lifting execution module 22 activates its reversing electric cylinder 2202, raising the flipping assembly 3 to a feeding height compatible with the cooking machine. The flipping drive module 31's flipping electric cylinder 3103 activates, driving the transmission swing arm 3201 via the rod end spherical bearing 3202. This causes the flipping plate 3203 to flip around the tilting shaft 3302 of the rotating support module 33. The locking structure between the flipping plate 3203 and the bottom tube 42 of the vegetable basket ensures the basket moves synchronously with the flipping plate. When the basket is flipped to a preset angle, the door stop 3304 triggers the material frame door 43 to open, allowing the vegetables to fall directionally into the cooking machine. After feeding is complete, the flipping electric cylinder 3103 reverses its direction, causing the flipping plate 3203 to reset and the material frame door 43 to close. The electric cylinder 2202 drives the lifting plate 2203 to descend, and the AGV trolley 1 returns to the vegetable picking station. The electric cylinder 2202 drives the device to descend, and the basket flipping plate 3203 disengages from the bottom tube 42 of the vegetable basket, putting the empty vegetable basket assembly 4 back to its original position.
[0037] Subsequently, AGV trolley 1 moves to the seasoning bucket retrieval station, the reversing electric cylinder 2202 drives the device to rise, and the seasoning tilting frame 3205 of the tilting and carrying transmission module 32 receives the seasoning bucket 5. AGV trolley 1 then moves to the feeding station, where the reversing electric cylinder 2202 of the lifting execution module 22 raises the tilting component 3 to the seasoning feeding height. The tilting drive module 31 drives the seasoning tilting frame 3205 to tilt the seasoning bucket 5. When it tilts to a preset angle, the seasoning bucket tilting baffle 2205 of the lifting execution module 22 limits the seasoning bucket 5. As the seasoning tilting frame 3205 continues to tilt to the predetermined angle, all the seasonings are accurately poured into the cooking machine. After the seasoning feeding is completed, the tilting component 3 and the lifting component 2 reset, and AGV trolley 1 returns to the seasoning bucket 5 retrieval station to put the air conditioning material bucket 5 back, repeating the above-mentioned food and seasoning feeding process.
