Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of meal taking, in particular to a multifunctional meal taking machine. Background Art

[0002] Buffet ovens have seen widespread adoption in the market in recent years, keeping food warm and allowing customers to enjoy warm dishes. Depending on the needs of different restaurants, they are broadly categorized into manual, damped, and induction opening types. With technological advancements, consumers are demanding more functionality from buffet ovens, particularly when picking up food, who often want real-time weight measurement. Consequently, some split-type buffet ovens, which are mounted on electronic scales, have emerged on the market, achieving both food insulation and weighing capabilities.

[0003] However, this split-type buffet oven with a weighing function has several significant problems. First, because the buffet oven and scale are separate designs, the weighing accuracy is not accurate enough. When operators open and close the lid, different operating habits will cause fluctuations and interference in the weighing data. This interference data is difficult to block at the software level, resulting in inaccurate weighing results. To solve this problem, some manufacturers have adopted the method of keeping the lid open when picking up food, but this will cause the temperature of the food to gradually drop, thus losing the original insulation function of the buffet oven.

[0004] Furthermore, this split-type buffet oven requires two power plugs, which increases the risk of failure and costs. Because the buffet oven's power plug is located on the scale, any contact with the buffet oven's power cord can interfere with the weighing data, affecting the overall data collection process.

[0043] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A multifunctional meal pick-up machine of the present utility model includes a housing 100, a meal basin 200, a heating module 400, and a base 500 provided with a weighing module 600.

[0044] Among them, a display control board is integrated on the housing 100, and the base 500 includes a switch of the meal pick-up machine and a socket.

[0045] Among them, refer to Figure 2 A receiving cavity 120 is formed inside the housing 100. One end of the receiving cavity 120 is provided with an inner housing 130, and the other end is provided with a bottom. The meal basin 200 is embedded in the inner housing 130, and a gap is formed between the meal basin 200 and the inner housing 130. The gap is filled with a heat insulation medium 300. The heating module 400 is disposed on one side of the inner housing 130 facing the bottom for heating the heat insulation medium 300 to indirectly heat the meal basin 200. The meal basin 200 is used to hold food materials, and the heating module 400 indirectly heats the food materials through the heat insulation medium 300. By the indirect heating method, the uniformity and stability of heating can be ensured. At the same time, the heat insulation medium 300 can continuously maintain heat after heating is completed, providing a lasting heat preservation effect, avoiding the influence of the rapid temperature drop of the food materials on the taste and safety. In addition, this design also reduces the temperature fluctuation and energy waste caused by direct heating, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency and user experience of the multifunctional meal pick-up machine. Among them, the heat insulation medium 300 can be air, water, oil, sand, etc. Preferably, it is water.

[0046] Refer to Figure 2 、 4, the bottom of the housing 100 is installed on the base 500 through the weighing module 600, forming a stable and accurate weighing environment. The weighing module 600 can monitor the weight of the food ingredients in the food basin 200 in real time and display the weight of the picked food ingredients after the user picks up the food ingredients. Preferably, the bottom of the accommodating cavity 120 is a partition plate 140, and a heat insulation layer 142 is provided on one side of the partition plate 140 facing the inner housing 130.

[0047] It can be understood that the heat insulation layer 142 can effectively block the heat conduction of the external heat source to the inner housing 130, ensure the stability of the internal temperature of the inner housing 130, and prevent the heat in the accommodating cavity 120 from being transferred to the weighing component end, avoiding damage to the weighing component caused by the high temperature environment and ensuring the weighing accuracy. Among them, the heat insulation layer 142 is a heat insulation cotton layer.

[0048] Thus, through the combination of the heating module 400 and the weighing module 600 of the present utility model, the user can conveniently enjoy the food ingredients that always remain at an appropriate temperature during the meal-taking process, and at the same time obtain accurate weight information immediately, improving the overall dining experience. The instant weighing function helps the user better manage the food intake, especially for users who need to control their diet, such as diabetic patients or weight loss people.

[0049] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 2 , a cover body is provided on the vegetable basin, the cover body is hinged to the housing 100, and the cover body is used to cover the food basin 200 for heat insulation and heat preservation. When dining is needed, the user can open the cover body and pick up the food ingredients.

[0050] Furthermore, the cover body is provided with ventilation holes. Through the ventilation holes, the internal air pressure can be effectively prevented from being too high, reducing the accumulation of steam, thereby avoiding accidental opening or damage of the cover body caused by excessive pressure, ensuring the safety and stability during the use process, and at the same time helping to control the internal humidity and maintain the best state of the contents.

[0051] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 、 25. The housing 100 is provided with a drive assembly 110, which includes a motor 111 and a rotating shaft 112 connected thereto by a transmission; the cover body is provided with a snap mechanism that cooperates with the rotating shaft 112, and the snap mechanism can realize automatic opening and closing of the cover body under the action of the drive assembly 110. The cover body is provided with a snap mechanism that cooperates with the rotating shaft 112. The snap mechanism can be a round snap cap, a gear, a connecting rod, a slider and other structures for converting the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 112 into the opening and closing action of the cover body, preferably a round snap cap. The rotating shaft 112 is driven to rotate by the motor 111, and the snap mechanism cooperates with the rotating shaft 112 to realize the opening and closing of the cover body. The operation can be performed by buttons, remote controls or smart devices (such as mobile phone APP). The use of the motor 111 can realize precise control of the opening and closing position of the cover body, ensuring that the cover body can be fully opened or closed, further improving the user experience.

[0052] Further, refer to Figure 5 The rotating shaft 112 includes a first shaft 1121 that is transmission-connected to the drive assembly 110, and second shafts 1122 located at both ends of the first shaft 1121. The second shafts 1122 at both ends of the first shaft 1121 are connected by shaft connecting blocks 1123, so that the first shaft 1121 and the second shaft 1122 rotate together to transmit torque. The second shaft 1122 can more evenly transmit torque to the circular cap on the cover, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the cover. This not only improves the force transmission efficiency and stability when opening and closing the cover, but also effectively avoids structural deformation or wear caused by single-point force, thereby ensuring that the cover can be opened and closed smoothly and automatically.

[0053] When the second shafts 1122 at both ends of the first shaft 1121 are connected by the shaft connection block 1123, if one of the rotating shafts 112 experiences a local impact, overload, or failure, this connection method can isolate the problem to a certain extent, preventing the fault from being directly transmitted to the entire shaft system, thereby improving the overall stability of the system. In contrast, if a problem occurs in one part of a single long shaft, it may affect the operation of the entire shaft. This can extend the service life of the equipment and reduce maintenance costs and workload.

[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 、 2, further includes an interaction component 700, and the interaction component 700 includes a support rod 710 and an image acquisition and interaction screen 720; one end of the support rod 710 is fixed to the base 500, and the other end is fixedly connected to the image acquisition and interaction screen 720; the image acquisition and interaction screen 720 is electrically connected to the driving component 110; when the image acquisition and interaction screen 720 acquires face information, the driving component 110 automatically controls the cover to open, and records the weight of the meal taken by the diner. Specifically, the image acquisition and interaction screen 720 is a face-swiping touch screen. That is to say, the user can perform human-computer interaction through this face-swiping touch screen to adjust various parameters of the multifunctional meal-taking machine, and there is a camera on this face-swiping touch screen, which can be used to collect the user's facial information. Specifically, this face-swiping touch screen is built-in with a processor and is further electrically connected to the heating module 400, the weighing module 600, and the driving component 110.

[0055] When the diner is having a meal, after the face-swiping touch screen recognizes the user, it can control the driving component 110 to open the cover for the user to take the meal, and then when the user finishes taking the meal, it can record the amount of the meal taken by the user. According to the information of the amount of the meal taken, the structure of the nutrients ingested by the user can be evaluated, which is beneficial to subsequent nutritional analysis.

[0056] Thus, the multifunctional meal-taking machine of the present utility model simplifies the operation through automated and intelligent designs, provides a convenient and comfortable dining experience. By reducing direct user operations, the risks of scalding, misoperation, etc. are reduced, and at the same time, dining safety is ensured through face recognition. And, by recording and analyzing the intake data of the diner, support is provided for personalized nutritional management, promoting the formation of healthy eating habits.

[0057] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is also provided for detecting the temperature inside the meal-taking machine. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to the processor built in the face-swiping touch screen. Thus, a dry-burning prevention mechanism is formed. For example, when heated to 100 °C, the heating will stop, and then it will automatically cool down to 60 °C.

[0058] Furthermore, the heating module 400 includes a temperature-controlled heating plate 410.

[0059] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 、 3, the weighing module 600 includes a weighing sensor 610 disposed on the base 500 and a weighing bracket 620 mounted on the weighing sensor 610. The weighing bracket 620 has a first connection end 621; a second connection end 141 cooperating with the first connection end 621 is provided at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 120. The cooperation between the first connection end 621 and the second connection end 141 ensures the stable connection between the weighing bracket 620 and the bottom of the accommodation cavity 120. The cooperation between the first connection end 621 and the second connection end 141 enables the stable connection between the weighing bracket 620 and the bottom of the accommodation cavity 120, effectively preventing inaccurate data or equipment damage caused by vibration or movement during the weighing process. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 , the weighing bracket 620 is in an "X" shape, and fixing holes are provided at its four ends. Four connecting columns are provided at the bottom of the accommodation cavity 120 corresponding to the positions of the fixing holes. The connecting columns pass through the fixing holes to fix the weighing bracket 620 to the bottom of the accommodation cavity 120. The four end fixing points of the "X" - shaped weighing bracket 620 can evenly distribute the force received by the weighing sensor 610, reduce local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the equipment. The uniform force distribution helps to maintain the stable working state of the weighing sensor 610 and improve the reliability of the equipment.
