Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchen management technology, and in particular relates to a kitchen management system based on protecting food safety. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale group meal delivery, such as providing centralized catering services to schools and large enterprises, it is extremely important to ensure that the temperature of the food is above the safety threshold throughout the entire process before it is delivered to consumers.

[0003] For example, a large central kitchen prepares lunches for schools (such as the No. 1 Middle School in a certain city) and carries out hot chain delivery. After the meals are cooked in the central kitchen, they are packaged into multiple insulated delivery boxes and then transported by multiple delivery vehicles to various meal distribution points in the school (such as the meal distribution point in the east and west of the teaching building, the meal distribution point in the gymnasium, etc.).

[0004] In hot summer or extremely cold winter weather, the temperature of the food in the last insulated box can easily drop below 60°C (a dangerous temperature range for rapid bacterial growth) during the delivery journey to the last distribution point due to the repeated opening and closing of the vehicle doors, drastic changes in ambient temperature, and excessive delivery time. This poses a significant food safety risk.

[0005] Existing technologies mainly rely on temperature sensors installed inside insulated boxes for post-event alarms, which cannot predict or proactively intervene before an irreversible temperature drop occurs. They can only passively record the fact that the temperature has exceeded the standard. When the temperature of the food to be delivered has irreversibly dropped to the danger zone before delivery due to fixed routes, traffic delays, or multiple opening and closing of the delivery vehicle, the system can only provide a delayed alarm and cannot provide effective proactive intervention, so food safety risks still exist. Therefore, the following solutions are proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a kitchen management system based on food safety protection. By constructing an intelligent decision-making system that integrates real-time temperature monitoring, environmental data perception, and dynamic path planning, it can accurately predict and proactively intervene in future temperature changes of delivered meals, solving the problem of passive monitoring in existing technologies that can only provide delayed alarms and cannot effectively avoid safety hazards before they occur.
