Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of catering equipment, in particular to a device for a canteen dining operation system. Background Art

[0002] With the development of science and technology, more and more smart devices have been integrated into people's lives, greatly affecting the convenience of people's lives. The existing food preparation counters only have food storage cabinets, and food is served manually. The functions are relatively simple, and users cannot see specific information such as the price of the food. The food preparation counter cannot automatically write prices and food information, which is not conducive to settlement prices and food traceability.

[0003] For this reason, traditional smart plates that use RFID technology for price identification have emerged. They use tableware that can be automatically identified with an RFID radio frequency chip implanted at the bottom of the plate. Different dishes are placed in tableware with RFID chips, and the tableware is identified in turn through RFID technology, so that the prices of different dishes can be counted. For example, the Chinese invention patent with announcement number CN104103025A discloses an automatic catering management system and method based on electronic tableware. By reading and writing the dish information on the electronic tableware, card reader, and reading and writing equipment, specific information such as dishes, ordering, and table numbers is saved, and efficient statistics and accurate marking of ordering, delivering, and settling are achieved, solving the technical problems of high cost and difficult maintenance of the existing technology.

[0004] The defect of the above scheme is that, since different tableware carries different dishes, not only does it need to set an RFID module on each tableware, but when updating information such as dish prices, each tableware, such as dinner plates, dinner bowls, soup bowls, etc., needs to be updated one by one, which is not only expensive, but also brings a large workload to the entire canteen operation; in addition, in order to facilitate the classification and use of tableware, it is also necessary to use different sizes, shapes, colors, patterns, etc. to distinguish them, and tableware embedded with RFID chips should not be placed in a high temperature environment, which brings inconvenience to cleaning, disinfection, storage, etc. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a device for a canteen dining operation system to solve the problem that in the existing canteen, an RFID chip needs to be implanted into a dining plate so as to identify the prices of different dishes.

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A device for a canteen dining operation system, comprising a base and a placing table, wherein the base is horizontally placed on the ground, the placing table is horizontally arranged on the top surface of the base, a plurality of receiving slots are arranged on the upper surface of the placing table, tableware of the same color is placed in the same receiving slot, a color recognition sensor for obtaining tableware color information is arranged on the top of the receiving slot, the color recognition sensor is electrically connected to a controller of an external device, an electronic tag is arranged beside the receiving slot, and the electronic tag is electrically connected to the controller;

[0007] The controller is used to receive the color information sent by the color recognition sensor, and send the price information corresponding to the color information to the electronic tag;

[0008] The electronic tag is used to display the price information after receiving the price information.

[0009] The basic principle of this solution is: different categories of dishes are placed in the receiving slots on the table, and different categories of dishes are served in tableware of the same color, so that the color of the tableware in the same receiving slot is obtained through the color identifier, and the controller can obtain the corresponding dish price information according to the color, so that the electronic tag displays the corresponding price information to the consumer.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the existing canteen operation system requires the implantation of RFID chips in the plates to identify the prices of different dishes. This solution uses color recognition sensors, which only require different colors for the plates. There are no requirements for the material, size, and shape of the plates and the receiving slots, and there is no need to implant RFID chips in the plates. This not only reduces production costs and has high reliability, but also greatly facilitates consumers to select dishes through the electronic tags on the food preparation table. In addition, this method of identifying the prices of different dishes can cooperate with the existing price accounting system to settle the prices of dishes, avoiding the disadvantages of consumers taking a long time to select dishes and cumbersome price settlement methods when there is a large flow of people.

[0011] Furthermore, a display table is provided above the placement table, and a protective cover is vertically provided on the front side between the display table and the placement table, wherein the protective cover is a transparent protective cover. The protective cover is used to isolate the dishes from the external environment to avoid the possibility of contamination of the dishes due to external traffic.

[0012] Furthermore, an LED display screen is provided on the front side of the display table near the protective cover, and the LED display screen is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is also used to send the name of the dish to the LED display screen. The LED display screen can display the corresponding name of the dish or other promotional information, so that consumers can obtain information about the food preparation table from a distance.

[0013] Furthermore, windows are respectively opened on the protective cover at the positions corresponding to the receiving slots, the window frames are square, vertical sliding tracks are respectively arranged on two opposite sides of the window frames, sliding plates are installed on the sliding tracks, and the sliding plates are transparent sliding plates. Since consumers are usually in front of the food preparation table and the food serving staff are located behind the food preparation table, when consumers need to take food, it is more convenient to directly go through the window.

[0014] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the lower end of the sliding plate, which facilitates the serving staff to open and close the window.

[0015] Furthermore, the base is in a rectangular shell shape, and an opening is opened on the side of the base away from the protective plate, and tableware can be placed on the bottom wall of the base. Dishes may be packaged or placed in a whole plate according to different operating modes, and tableware for packaging is placed in the base to adapt to different operating modes.
