Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to an intelligent ingredient preparation device. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing health awareness among residents, people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia (the "three highs") have an increasingly urgent need for precise control of the amount of seasonings such as salt, sugar, and oil in their diets. Intelligent kitchen ingredient dispensing equipment has become an important tool to assist in the dietary management of these individuals. Currently, ordinary intelligent kitchen ingredient dispensing equipment has achieved semi-automatic quantitative dispensing of some seasonings, becoming a primary choice for people with the "three highs" to try precise control of seasoning amounts. However, these devices have typical technical problems in practical applications: for viscous seasonings such as oyster sauce and sesame paste, there is no dedicated container and metering design. Viscous seasonings easily adhere to the container walls and the dispensing port, leading to poor dispensing and large metering deviations. The error of industrial-grade sensors is ±0.1g, which is far from meeting the precise control needs of people with the "three highs" for viscous seasonings.

[0003] Existing general-purpose intelligent ingredient dispensing equipment for kitchens mostly adopts a universal design with single or dual compartments, failing to classify and adapt to solid, liquid, and viscous seasonings. The compartments lack pressurization structures, relying solely on motor-driven valve opening and closing and basic pressure sensors for dispensing and metering. For viscous seasonings, on the one hand, without external force, the seasoning's poor flowability easily leads to adhesion to the sides, resulting in an actual dispensing volume far lower than the set amount. On the other hand, the pressure sensor is in direct contact with the viscous seasoning, and the seasoning adhering to the sensor surface causes signal distortion, further exacerbating metering errors. This technical problem prevents existing equipment from achieving precise quantification of viscous seasonings. Since viscous seasonings are commonly used in daily cooking, accurate quantity control is a crucial component of dietary management for people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia (the "three highs"). The deficiencies in existing equipment directly limit its application in the dietary management of this population, failing to meet their core needs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the technical shortcomings of existing intelligent kitchen ingredient dispensing equipment, which suffers from inaccurate dispensing and metering due to the tendency of viscous seasonings to stick to the walls. This invention provides an intelligent ingredient dispensing device. This device utilizes a specially designed pressurized chamber with a non-contact metering sensor and a pressure pump to assist dispensing, solving the problem of viscous seasonings sticking to the walls and achieving microgram-level precise metering of viscous seasonings. It also accommodates high-precision quantitative dispensing of both solid and liquid seasonings, meeting the precise quantity control needs of people with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and high blood sugar for various seasonings.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An intelligent batching and dispensing device includes a support base, a bin assembly, a sensing module, a discharge control module, a receiving module, and a main control circuit.

The three are independent, sealed, hollow rectangular silos arranged side by side. The pressurization silo is a dedicated silo for viscous seasonings, and its outer wall is fixedly connected to a pressurization pump that communicates with the interior of the silo.

[0008] The sensing module includes a pressure sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. The pressure sensor is a thin, square, industrial-grade sensing component that is embedded in the bottom inner wall of the solid and liquid chambers and close to the discharge port. The ultrasonic sensor is a cylindrical probe-type sensing component that is vertically fixed to the center of the inner side of the top cover of the pressurization chamber, with the probe facing the surface of the seasoning liquid inside the pressurization chamber.

[0009] The discharge control module is a solenoid valve, which is a small, round, electrically controlled valve built into the bottom discharge port of the solid silo, liquid silo, and pressurized silo.

[0010] The receiving module is a ceramic funnel-shaped container. The ceramic funnel-shaped container has an inverted cone structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. It is embedded in the lower part of the main body and located directly below the discharge port of all the chambers.

[0011] The main control circuit is a rectangular printed circuit board hidden inside the rear of the main body. It is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, ultrasonic sensor, pressurizing pump, and solenoid valve through wires. It receives the metering signals from the sensor module and controls the start and stop of the pressurizing pump and the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the solid chamber, liquid chamber, and pressurized chamber are made of food-grade PC resin. The dimensions of each chamber are 65mm in length, 60mm in width, and 150mm in height. The top of the chamber is open, and the bottom is provided with a circular discharge port that matches the solenoid valve.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the inner wall of the ceramic funnel-shaped container has a high-gloss smooth structure, the upper opening is a large circle and the lower opening is a small circle material outlet. The ceramic funnel-shaped container is movably snapped into the main body and can be pulled out and disassembled, and a sealing cap is provided at the lower material outlet.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the overall device of the intelligent ingredient preparation device is a cuboid main structure with dimensions of 250mm in length, 100mm in width, and 300mm in height, and the outer shell of the main body is made of high-temperature resistant acrylic sheet.

[0018] A seasoning metering method based on the above-mentioned intelligent ingredient dispensing device includes the following steps:

[0019] S1: The user inputs the required seasoning type and weight through the display, and the operation command is transmitted to the main control circuit;

[0020] S2: The main control circuit controls the opening of the electromagnetic valve of the corresponding compartment according to the type of seasoning. If it is a viscous seasoning, it synchronously controls the start of the pressurization pump in the pressurization compartment to pressurize the inside of the compartment.

[0021] S3: The seasoning is discharged from the outlet under the action of gravity or pressure and falls into the ceramic funnel-shaped container. The corresponding sensor module of the container detects the discharge amount in real time and transmits the signal to the main control circuit.

[0022] S4: When the sensor module detects that the output amount has reached the user-set weight, the main control circuit immediately controls the solenoid valve to close. If it is a viscous seasoning, the pressure pump is controlled to stop working simultaneously to complete the single seasoning metering.

[0023] A method for managing dietary data based on the aforementioned intelligent ingredient mixing device includes the following steps:

[0024] T1: After the equipment completes each seasoning measurement, the main control circuit automatically records the intake data such as the type, weight, and usage time of the seasoning and stores it locally;

[0025] T2: The display shows the single intake data in real time, and the main control circuit summarizes and statistically analyzes the intake data on a weekly / monthly basis, generates a weekly / monthly intake report, and displays it on the display.

[0030] U3: When a user selects a recipe, the main control circuit automatically matches the types and precise amounts of seasonings required for that recipe. After the user confirms, the device can be directly triggered to complete the quantitative dispensing.

[0031] U4: If the amount of seasoning entered by the user exceeds the upper limit for people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, the main control circuit will immediately trigger the speaker to issue a voice warning and at the same time display a reminder icon to prompt the user to adjust the amount.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] (1) In view of the technical problem that viscous seasonings are prone to sticking to the wall, resulting in inaccurate discharge and metering, the present invention designs a dedicated pressure chamber and is equipped with a pressure pump and an ultrasonic sensor.

There is no need to equip multiple measuring tools separately, and the ease of use is greatly improved.

[0035] (3) The container assembly of the present invention is magnetically fixed by magnets, and the ceramic funnel-shaped container adopts a pull-out detachable design, which makes it convenient for users to disassemble and add seasonings, clean the container and receive the container, avoid seasoning residue and deterioration, ensure the hygiene of the equipment, and reduce the difficulty of equipment maintenance.

[0036] (4) The overall device of the present invention is a small rectangular structure with a length of 250mm, a width of 100mm and a height of 300mm. It has a compact structure and is suitable for the countertop placement needs of family kitchens. The main body shell is made of high temperature resistant acrylic board, the container is made of food-grade PC resin and the receiving container is made of ceramic, which takes into account the kitchen's requirements for waterproof and moisture-proof, high temperature corrosion resistance and food contact safety.

[0037] (5) This invention integrates functions such as measurement, data management, and personalized recommendation. After the device completes the measurement of seasonings, it automatically records the intake data and generates weekly / monthly statistical reports. At the same time, it can customize exclusive seasoning plans based on the user's three highs health data, realize the dietary management closed loop of "precise dosage - data recording - plan adjustment", assist people with three highs in health management from the source of diet.

As the core control center of the equipment, it receives the metering signals from the sensor module and the user's operation commands, and coordinates the work of each component to achieve precise quantitative dispensing of seasonings.

[0053] Solid chamber 3, liquid chamber 4, and pressurized chamber 5 are made of food-grade PC resin. The three are rectangular independent sealed hollow chambers arranged side by side evenly. The dimensions of each chamber are 65mm long, 60mm wide, and 150mm high. The top of the chamber is open and the bottom is equipped with a circular discharge port that matches the solenoid valve 10.

[0054] Magnets 12 are provided at the contact points between the outer wall of the silo assembly and the inner wall of the main body. The silo assembly is magnetically connected to the main body via magnets 12 and is detachable and replaceable. The top of the silo assembly is movably snapped into the top cover 8, making it convenient for users to disassemble the silo assembly to add seasonings and clean the silo walls.

[0055] The pressure sensor 7 has a thickness of ≤5mm and a measurement accuracy of ±0.001g. Its signal output terminal is electrically connected to the main control circuit 2 to convert the gravity signal into an electrical signal and transmit it to the main control circuit 2.

[0056] The inner wall of the ceramic funnel-shaped container 11 has a high-gloss smooth structure. The upper opening is a large circle and the lower opening is a small circle material outlet. The ceramic funnel-shaped container 11 is movably snapped into the main body and can be pulled out and disassembled. A sealing cap is provided at the lower material outlet.

[0057] The top cover 8 is a rectangular cover that matches the opening at the top of the main unit.

[0061] S2: The main control circuit 2 controls the opening of the electromagnetic valve 10 of the corresponding compartment according to the type of seasoning. If it is a viscous seasoning, it synchronously controls the start of the pressure pump 6 of the pressure compartment 5 to pressurize the inside of the compartment.

[0062] S3: The seasoning is discharged from the outlet under the action of gravity or pressure and falls into the ceramic funnel-shaped container 11. The corresponding sensing module of the container detects the discharge amount in real time and transmits the signal to the main control circuit 2.

[0063] S4: When the sensor module detects that the output amount has reached the user-set weight, the main control circuit 2 immediately controls the solenoid valve 10 to close. If it is a viscous condiment, the pressure pump 6 is simultaneously controlled to stop working, completing the single-time condiment metering. In this embodiment, the pressure chamber is a sealed cavity. The pressure pump fills the chamber with air to generate air pressure, which pushes the viscous sauce to flow and prevents it from sticking to the wall. The ultrasonic sensor measures the output weight in real time. After the target is reached, the main control circuit simultaneously closes the solenoid valve and stops the pressure pump, cutting off the pressure and the output channel, and accurately completing the quantitative output.

[0064] The present invention also provides a dietary data management method based on the above-mentioned intelligent ingredient preparation device, comprising the following steps:

[0065] T1: After the equipment completes each seasoning measurement, the main control circuit 2 automatically records the intake data such as the type, weight, and usage time of the seasoning and stores it locally;

[0066] T2: The display 13 shows the single intake data in real time, and the main control circuit 2 summarizes and statistically analyzes the intake data on a weekly / monthly basis, generates a weekly / monthly intake report, and displays it on the display 13.

[0067] T3: Users can access historical intake data and statistical reports through the built-in mini-program on the display 13, and can also upload physical examination reports. The main control circuit 2 will correlate and compare the dietary intake data with the physical examination indicators to provide feedback on the effect of dietary control.

[0068] The present invention also provides a personalized ingredient recommendation method based on the above-mentioned intelligent ingredient preparation device, comprising the following steps:

[0069] U1: The user inputs their own health status data and dietary preferences through the display 13, including blood pressure, blood sugar, blood lipid indicators, and information such as condiments to avoid and cooking preferences. The data is transmitted to the main control circuit 2.

[0070] U2: The main control circuit 2, based on the built-in algorithm and combined with the dietary ration standards for people with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia, customizes a special seasoning ratio scheme and corresponding healthy recipes for users, which are displayed on the display 13.

[0071] U3: When a user selects a recipe, the main control circuit 2 automatically matches the types and precise amounts of seasonings required for that recipe. After the user confirms, the device can be directly triggered to complete the quantitative dispensing.

[0072] U4: If the amount of seasoning entered by the user exceeds the upper limit for people with high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol, the main control circuit 2 will immediately trigger the speaker 14 to issue a voice warning, and at the same time, a reminder icon will pop up on the display 13 to prompt the user to adjust the amount.
