[0001] This utility model relates to a technology for temperature control, quantitative measurement, and remote monitoring of cheese production in a relatively enclosed environment. It belongs to the technical fields of cheese temperature control, the Internet of Things, and remote monitoring. Specifically, it relates to an intelligent cheese machine. Background Technology
[0002] Human palates are quite sensitive to cheese temperature; cheese that is too hot or too cold doesn't taste good. Therefore, various heating devices have been designed. However, these devices all have drawbacks, such as inaccurate temperature control and inconvenience in obtaining measured quantities from large bags of cheese. Furthermore, cheese machines are generally used in public places like shopping malls, making it difficult to obtain timely information on cheese consumption and machine operating status. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent cheese machine that can accurately and stably control the temperature of cheese and quantitatively dispense the amount of cheese.
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A smart cheese machine includes a sealed box. A motor and a main control PCBA are located at the lower end of the sealed box. The motor is connected to a cheese tube and is used to squeeze the cheese tube to expel the cheese. A button is located on the front door of the sealed box. The button is electrically connected to the main control PCBA and the motor, and the main control PCBA controls the motor to start or stop working. A partition is located at the upper end of the sealed box, dividing the space above the motor into upper and lower layers. A temperature sensor is located in the upper layer, and a heating element is located in the lower layer. A support plate for placing cheese bags is also located above the partition. Two weighing sensors are located on the partition to acquire the weight information of the cheese bags on the support plate. The signal output terminals of the temperature sensor and the weighing sensor are electrically connected to the signal input terminal of the main control PCBA. The control output terminal of the main control PCBA is electrically connected to the electrical control terminal of the heating element to control its operation.
[0006] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0007] The front door of the enclosed enclosure is also equipped with a display screen connected to the main control PCBA, and the working time of the motor is adjusted through the display screen.
[0008] The display screen is also used to adjust the cheese-retrieving time, display the actual temperature, and switch between temperature display modes.
[0009] It also includes a fan for circulating air within the enclosed enclosure, the fan being located within the lower space and connected to the main control PCBA.
[0010] The enclosed enclosure also contains Bluetooth and Wi-Fi modules for positioning and Internet of Things (IoT) functions.
[0011] The partition and support plate are arranged at an angle, with the end near the front door of the enclosed box lower than the end near the back plate of the enclosed box. The heating element and the fan are mounted and supported by the bottom of the partition near the back plate of the enclosed box via a mounting bracket.
[0012] Both the partition and the support plate are made of steel plates.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model discloses an intelligent cheese machine. The main control PCBA chip receives and processes information from temperature and weighing sensors, controls the heating element, and summarizes motor running time information. The temperature sensor, connected to the main control PCBA, acquires temperature information inside the sealed chamber and transmits it to the main control PCBA chip. The chip compares this temperature information with a set value to control whether the heating element operates, achieving stable temperature control of the bagged cheese inside the sealed chamber. It also has the function of transmitting temperature data back to the backend, making it convenient and practical. The cheese temperature is adjustable and controllable, can be monitored in real time, and is easier to use and maintain. The weighing sensor, connected to the main control PCBA, acquires the weight information of the cheese bag and transmits it to the chip. The chip transmits the weight information back to the backend, enabling real-time monitoring of the cheese weight.
[0015] 2. The intelligent cheese machine of this utility model squeezes the cheese tube to make the cheese flow out when the motor is working. The amount of cheese flowing out is controlled by controlling the duration of the motor's operation. The motor running time information is collected by the chip and transmitted to the backend, which can solve the problem of inconvenience in quantitative dispensing of large bags of cheese.

A motor 7 and a main control PCBA 8 are located at the lower end of the closed box. The motor 7 is connected to a cheese tube and is used to squeeze the cheese tube to make the cheese flow out. Three buttons are located on the front door of the closed box. The buttons are electrically connected to the main control PCBA 8 and the motor 7. The buttons control the motor 7 to start or stop working via the main control PCBA 8. A partition 6 is located at the upper end of the closed box, dividing the space above the motor 7 into upper and lower layers. A temperature sensor is located in the upper layer, and a heating element 3 is installed in the lower layer. A support plate 2 for placing cheese bags is also located above the partition 6.
