Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of restaurant service robots, in particular to a self-cleaning waste discharge structure of a restaurant service robot. Background Art

[0002] Restaurant service robots are automated devices that perform a variety of tasks in a restaurant environment. They are designed to improve service efficiency, reduce labor costs, and provide customers with a unique dining experience. These robots integrate advanced computer vision, natural language processing, machine learning, and robotics engineering technologies to perform a variety of tasks from welcoming guests, taking orders, delivering food, to cleaning up.

[0003] With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, especially breakthroughs in machine learning and natural language processing technology, robots can better understand and respond to human needs. In addition, advances in robotics technology, including improvements in perception, navigation and operation capabilities, also provide a technical foundation for the development and application of restaurant service robots.

[0004] The technology of restaurant service robots covers many aspects. The first is perception technology, which includes the use of cameras and sensors to identify various characteristics of customers and the environment, such as facial recognition technology used to identify customers and provide personalized services. The second is natural language processing technology, which enables robots to understand and generate natural language, so as to communicate fluently with customers. Machine learning technology enables robots to learn from experience and continuously optimize their service processes and decision-making processes. Finally, there is robot operation technology, which involves the robot's mechanical arms and hands, enabling it to accurately handle and deliver food.

[0005] Through the comprehensive application of these technologies, restaurant service robots can provide efficient and accurate services while reducing human errors and customer waiting time. They can work 24 hours a day without interruption and are not affected by holidays, bringing significant economic benefits to restaurants. In addition, restaurant service robots can also reduce the risk of cross-infection by reducing direct contact between waiters and customers, which is particularly important during the epidemic.

[0006] In general, the emergence of restaurant service robots is the inevitable result of the development of artificial intelligence and robotics technology. They not only represent technological progress, but also indicate the possible future development direction of the catering industry. With the continuous advancement of technology and the reduction of costs, more and more restaurants are expected to adopt service robots to provide customers with more efficient, safe and personalized services.

[0007] At present, although the existing restaurant service robots can complete certain cleaning work during the service process, they cannot effectively collect and clean the waste generated. This is mainly because the existing robot system overly focuses on the functionality of the robot, such as menu selection, order processing, etc., when designing and manufacturing, and ignores the key link of waste management. This functional emphasis leads to the robot system's insufficient ability in waste treatment. Secondly, due to the lack of an effective self-cleaning waste discharge structure, the service robot needs to stop service frequently so that manual intervention can be made to clean up the waste. This not only greatly reduces the service efficiency of the robot, increasing the waiting time for customers, but also increases the workload of restaurant staff, affecting the overall operating efficiency of the restaurant. In addition, manual intervention in waste cleaning also means that more human resources and time costs are required. Moreover, since the service robot cannot automatically clean up the waste generated during the service process, this undoubtedly increases the environmental sanitation problems of the restaurant. The accumulation of waste is not only easy to breed bacteria and viruses, but also may attract pests, causing damage to the overall sanitation environment of the restaurant. Therefore, a self-cleaning waste discharge structure of a restaurant service robot is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning waste discharge structure of a restaurant service robot, comprising a waste collection box 1, a roller brush mechanical arm 2, a moving device 3 and a waste feed port 4, wherein the moving device 3 is fixedly mounted on one side of the waste collection box 1 close to the ground, and the roller brush mechanical arm 2 is fixedly mounted on the other side of the waste collection box 1 opposite to the moving device 3, the waste feed port 4 is opened on the side of the waste collection box 1 away from the moving device 3, and a self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 is installed in the waste collection box 1;

[0033] Through the mutual cooperation between the roller brush robot arm 2, the moving device 3, the waste feed port 4 and the self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 on the waste collection box 1, a robot can be provided with the function of automatically cleaning the waste generated during the service process, thereby completing a large amount of waste collection and cleaning tasks in a short time, significantly improving the processing speed and service response time, and at the same time, by reducing human intervention, reducing the risk of improper waste treatment or leakage due to improper human operation, improving the safety and reliability of waste treatment, and thus improving service efficiency and quality.

[0034] In this embodiment, the self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 is a structure used for the robot to automatically clean up waste generated during the service process.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 includes two regulating boxes 501 which are respectively fixedly installed on the inner wall of the waste collection box 1 by bolts and are mirror-symmetrical. A driving assembly and a gear transmission assembly connected to the driving assembly and located in the regulating box 501 are installed in the regulating box 501. A threaded rod 504 connected to the inner wall of the regulating box 501 is connected in the gear transmission assembly. The outer side of the threaded rod 504 is threadedly connected to an adjusting moving block 505 which is slidably connected to the inner side of the regulating box 501. A hinge assembly is connected to the side of the adjusting moving block 505 away from the moving device 3. A filter assembly is installed between the two hinge assemblies on the sides away from the moving device 3. Two water retaining plates 509 which are mirror-symmetrical are fixedly connected to the bottom of the filter assembly.

[0036] An opening 510 is provided on one side of the waste collection box 1 for the filter assembly to pass through;

[0037] The self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 further includes a closing door 511 , one end of which is hinged to one side of the waste collection box 1 through a pin and covers the edge of the opening 510 .

[0038] It should be noted that both ends of the threaded rod 504 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the control box 501 through bearings, so that the adjustment moving block 505 can stably move on the outer side of the threaded rod 504.

[0039] It is understandable that a moving hole 506 for the adjusting moving block 505 to slide against is provided on the side of the regulating box 501 away from the moving device 3, in order to improve the moving stability of the adjusting moving block 505 while limiting the moving distance of the adjusting moving block 505.

[0040] In addition, the driving assembly includes a protective housing 5021, a servo motor 5022 and a rotating rod 5023; one side of the protective housing 5021 is fixedly mounted on the side of the control box 501 close to the ground by bolts, one side of the servo motor 5022 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the protective housing 5021, one end of the rotating rod 5023 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 5022, and the other end thereof penetrates the control box 501 and extends to one side of the gear transmission assembly;

[0041] The outer side of the rotating rod 5023 is rotatably connected to the inside of the regulating box 501 through a bearing so as to stably drive the gear transmission assembly to rotate.

[0042] In this embodiment, the gear transmission assembly includes a driving bevel gear 5031 and a driven bevel gear 5032; one side of the driving bevel gear 5031 is fixedly connected to an end of the rotating rod 5023 away from the servo motor 5022, the driving bevel gear 5031 and the driven bevel gear 5032 are meshed with each other, and the inner side of the driven bevel gear 5032 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 504, so that when the servo motor 5022 drives the rotating rod 5023 to rotate, the driven bevel gear 5032 meshed on the driving bevel gear 5031 can be driven to rotate, and thereby drive the threaded rod 504 to rotate in situ, and then the adjusting moving block 505 moves on the outer side of the threaded rod 504 under the thrust of the rotation of the inner thread, and drives the hinge assembly to move.

[0043] It should also be noted that the articulated assembly includes an articulated seat No. 1 5071 and an articulated seat No. 2 5072; one side of the articulated seat No. 1 5071 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting moving block 505, and one side of the articulated seat No. 2 5072 is connected to the filter assembly. The articulated seat No. 1 5071 and the articulated seat No. 2 5072 are hingedly connected through a pin shaft so that after the filter assembly is moved to the opening 510, the filter assembly can be tilted under the action of gravity when it is continued to be pushed, so that the garbage in the filter assembly can be poured out.

[0044] It should be further explained that the filter assembly includes a dry-wet separation box 5081 and a filter screen 5082; one side of the dry-wet separation box 5081 is fixedly connected to one side of the two No. 2 articulated seats 5072, and the filter screen 5082 is fixedly connected to the side of the dry-wet separation box 5081 close to the moving device 3, so that it can drive the dry-wet separation box 5081 to move when the No. 2 articulated seat 5072 moves, and pass through the opening 510 until the No. 2 articulated seat 5072 cannot move. At this time, the dry-wet separation box 5081 is tilted under the hinged action of the No. 1 articulated seat 5071 and the No. 2 articulated seat 5072 and the action of gravity, and the garbage collected in the dry-wet separation box 5081 can be discharged.

[0045] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0046] First, the roller brush robot arm 2 collects the waste garbage through the waste feed port 4 into the waste collection box 1, and performs dry and wet separation under the filtration of the filter screen 5082. After the dry and wet separation box 5081 is full, it is moved to the designated sewage discharge location through the moving device 3, and then the servo motor 5022 is started. When the servo motor 5022 drives the rotating rod 5023 to rotate, it can drive the driven bevel gear 5032 engaged with the active bevel gear 5031 to rotate, and drive the threaded rod 504 to rotate in place under the rotation support of the bearing, and then adjust the moving block 505 to rotate on the thread under the thrust of the inner thread rotation. The outside of the rod 504 moves, and drives the No. 1 hinged seat 5071 to move, and drives the No. 2 hinged seat 5072 to move. When the No. 2 hinged seat 5072 moves, it drives the dry-wet separation box 5081 to move and pass through the opening 510 until the No. 2 hinged seat 5072 cannot move. At this time, the dry-wet separation box 5081 is tilted under the hinge action of the No. 1 hinged seat 5071 and the No. 2 hinged seat 5072 and the action of gravity, and the garbage collected in the dry-wet separation box 5081 can be discharged. Then, through the reverse operation of the above principle, the dry-wet separation box 5081 can be retracted, and the closing door 511 is closed under the action of gravity.

[0047] Compared with the prior art: the self-cleaning waste discharge structure of the restaurant service robot, through the mutual cooperation between the roller brush mechanical arm 2, the moving device 3, the waste feed port 4 and the self-cleaning waste discharge mechanism 500 on the waste collection box 1, can provide a robot with the function of automatically cleaning the waste generated during the service process, thereby completing a large amount of waste collection and cleaning tasks in a short time, significantly improving the processing speed and service response time, and at the same time, by reducing human intervention, reducing the risk of improper waste treatment or leakage due to improper human operation, improving the safety and reliability of waste treatment, thereby improving service efficiency and quality, solving the problem of insufficient capabilities of existing service robots in waste management, and greatly improving service efficiency and quality.
