[0035] The recycling device 2 includes a recycling cloud rail 21 and a recycling trolley 22. The recycling cloud rail 21 is in a closed ring shape and covers the tableware recycling platform 5 and the dishwashing room. The recycling trolley 22 is movably mounted on the bottom of the recycling cloud rail 21.

[0036] The structure of the serving trolley 12 and the recycling trolley 22 is the same;

[0037] The meal serving trolley 12 includes a mounting seat 121 and a clamping seat 122 . The mounting seat 121 moves along the track direction of the meal serving cloud track 11 . The clamping seat 122 is movably mounted on the mounting seat 121 . The clamping seat 122 is used to clamp the meal bowl 3 .

[0038] Currently, the most common way to serve dishes in smart restaurants is through manual transport. This involves manually moving dishes from the kitchen to the dining island in the dining area. However, this manual delivery method is highly inefficient and prone to spillage. Furthermore, the most common way to return dishes is through manual transport. This involves manually returning dishes from the dishwashing area to the kitchen dishwasher for cleaning. This manual return method is also highly inefficient, making it difficult to recycle dishes in a timely manner, thus impacting the dining experience for customers in the dining area.

[0039] Therefore, in order to realize the automatic transportation of food bowls and improve the efficiency of serving and recycling food bowls, this technical solution proposes a food bowl transportation system for a robot smart restaurant, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a serving device 1 and a recycling device 2 that operate independently of each other, and the serving device 1 of this solution is used to transport the dining bowl 3 from the kitchen to the dining island 4 to improve the dining efficiency; the recycling device 2 is used to transport the dining bowl 3 from the tableware recycling platform 5 to the dishwashing room to recycle the tableware to be cleaned in time to avoid affecting the dining experience of consumers in the dining area.

[0040] Specifically, the serving device 1 of this solution includes a serving cloud rail 11 and a serving trolley 12 for transporting the food bowl 3. When the food bowl 3 filled with dishes needs to be taken out of the kitchen, the serving trolley 12 is first moved along the serving cloud rail 11 to above the kitchen. Then, the clamping seat 122 in the serving trolley 12 moves downward relative to the mounting seat 121 and clamps the food bowl 3 filled with dishes. Next, the clamping seat 122 clamping the food bowl 3 moves upward relative to the mounting seat 121 and moves along the serving cloud rail 11 to above the dining island 4. Then, it moves downward relative to the mounting seat 121 and releases the clamping seat 122 from the food bowl 3, thereby serving the food bowl 3 filled with dishes on the dining island 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the recycling device 2 of this solution includes a recycling cloud rail 21 and a recycling trolley 22 for transporting the tableware 3. After the consumer finishes eating, he needs to place the tableware to be cleaned in the tableware recycling platform 5 for collection. When the tableware 3 full of tableware to be cleaned needs to be transported to the dishwashing room for cleaning, the recycling trolley 22 is first moved along the recycling cloud rail 21 to above the tableware recycling platform 5, and then the clamping seat 122 of the recycling trolley 22 moves downward relative to the mounting seat 121 and clamps the tableware 3 full of tableware to be cleaned; then, the clamping seat 122 clamping the tableware 3 moves upward relative to the mounting seat 121 and moves along the recycling cloud rail 21 to above the dishwashing room, and then moves downward relative to the mounting seat 121 and releases the clamping seat on the tableware 3, thereby realizing the recycling of the tableware.

[0042] To further illustrate, the clamping seat 122 includes a clamping top plate 1221 and a clamping hook 1222 . The clamping top plate 1221 is connected to the mounting seat 121 , and the clamping hook 1222 is used to hook the top edge of the dining bowl 3 .

[0043] The bottom of the clamping top plate 1221 is upwardly provided with a recessed clamping cavity 12211, and the clamping cavity 12211 is used to accommodate the dining bowl 3;

[0044] There are multiple clamping hooks 1222, and the multiple clamping hooks 1222 are evenly distributed around the edge of the clamping cavity 12211; the clamping hooks 1222 move horizontally relative to the clamping top plate 1221, and the clamping hooks 1222 can approach and move away from the center of the clamping cavity 12211.

[0045] To effectively hold the bowl 3, the holder 122 includes a top plate 1221 and a clamping hook 1222. Specifically, a recessed holding cavity 12211 is formed upwards at the bottom of the top plate 1221 to accommodate the bowl 3. This helps prevent spillage of dishes from the bowl 3 during serving and also provides a certain degree of heat preservation. It also helps prevent the risk of dishes falling from the bowl 3 due to overfilling during recycling, further ensuring a pleasant dining experience for consumers.

[0046] Furthermore, in this solution, there are multiple clamping hooks for clamping the dining bowl 3, and they can be close to and away from the center of the clamping cavity 12211, which can not only clamp the dining bowl 3, but also effectively support it, and is more conducive to improving the clamping effect of the clamping seat 122.

[0047] To further illustrate, the inner top wall of the clamping cavity 12211 is provided with a limited slide rail 12212, and the top of the clamping hook 1222 is protrudingly provided with a collar 12221;

[0048] The collar 12221 can be horizontally movably sleeved on the limiting slide rail 12212 , and the clamping hook 1222 moves horizontally along the extending direction of the limiting slide rail 12212 through the collar 12221 .

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, a ring 12221 is protruding from the top of the clamping hook 1222, and it moves horizontally along the extension direction of the limiting slide rail 12212 through the ring 12221, which can limit the movement of the clamping hook 1222 and is also beneficial to enhance the supporting force of the clamping hook 1222 on the dining bowl 3.

[0050] To further illustrate, the shape of the clamping hook 1222 is C-shaped, and the opening of the clamping hook 1222 faces the center of the clamping cavity 12211 .

[0051] Specifically, this solution uses a C-shaped clamping hook 1222, which can reduce the space occupied by the clamping hook 1222 in the clamping cavity 12211 while providing an effective supporting surface for clamping the dining bowl 3, making the structure of the dining trolley 12 and the recovery trolley 22 more compact and smaller in size.

[0052] To further illustrate, the clamping seat 122 further includes a limiting rod 1223 , and the limiting rod 1223 is protrudingly mounted on the inner top wall of the clamping cavity 12211 ;

[0053] The horizontal plane where the end of the limiting rod 1223 is located is higher than the horizontal plane where the supporting surface of the clamping hook 1222 is located.

[0054] In another preferred embodiment of the present technical solution, the clamping seat 122 is also provided with a limiting rod 1223 for limiting the descending height of the clamping seat 122 to prevent the continued descent of the clamping seat 122 from damaging the tableware or the dining bowl 3, and at the same time it is also conducive to the effective clamping of the dining bowl 3 by the clamping hook 1222.

[0055] To further explain, at least four limiting rods 1223 are provided, and the four limiting rods 1223 are respectively located at the four corners of the clamping cavity 12211 .

[0056] To further explain, the clamping seat 122 further includes a position sensor, which is disposed at the end of the limiting rod 1223 and is electrically connected to the clamping hook 1222 .

[0057] To enhance the automation of the bowl conveying system, this solution also includes an in-position sensor at the end of the limiting rod 1223, electrically connected to the clamping hook 1222. Upon receiving a signal indicating that the bowl 3 has been inserted into the clamping cavity 12211, the in-position sensor sends a signal to the clamping hook 1222 to move toward the center of the clamping cavity 12211, further improving the efficiency of the bowl conveying system.
