Detailed Implementation
[0034] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The technical methods of the present invention will be further described, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic food dispensing, basket loading, and handling system, comprising:
[0036] A rice-eating machine 100, with a rice basket 110 placed at its bottom;
[0037] A conveyor roller conveyor is located on the side of the rice-cooking machine 100 and is used to convey the lunch boxes 220;
[0038] The first robot 300 is used to grab the lunch box 220 on the conveyor roller and pour the rice in the lunch box 220 into the rice scooping machine 100. The rice is broken up by the rice scooping machine 100 and falls into the rice basket 110.
[0039] The second robot 400 grabs the rice basket 110 containing rice and puts it into the external AGV trolley for transport to the next work station.
[0040] In other words, the lunch boxes 220 taken out of the cold storage are placed on the conveyor rollers and transported forward. After being transported to the designated location, the first robot 300 is responsible for pouring the frozen rice from the lunch boxes 220 into the rice-scooping machine 100. The frozen and clump-like rice is broken up by the rice-scooping machine 100 and falls into the rice basket 110 at the bottom. The second robot 400 is responsible for grabbing the rice basket 110 containing rice and placing it on the external AGV trolley. The AGV trolley transports it to the next workstation for processing, thereby achieving the purpose of automated rice distribution, basket filling, and transportation.
[0041] The automatic meal dispensing, basket loading, and transport system provided in this embodiment has at least the following advantages:
[0042] 1. Improve efficiency:
[0043] Through automated process design, the need for manual intervention is reduced, significantly improving the speed and efficiency of frozen or refrigerated food processing. From grabbing the lunch box 220, pouring the food, breaking up the rice, to transporting it in the lunch basket 110, the whole process is smooth and fast, making it particularly suitable for occasions that require large-volume food processing.
[0044] 2. Enhance hygiene and safety:
[0045] Minimizing human contact reduces the risk of food contamination and ensures food safety and hygiene standards. This automated processing method is of great significance, especially given the increasingly stringent food safety requirements in the current context.
[0046] 3. Ensure rice quality:
[0047] The Rice Crush 100 can effectively break up clumps in frozen or refrigerated rice, ensuring that the rice is broken up evenly and finely, thus improving the quality and taste of subsequent processing.
[0048] 4. Increase system flexibility:
[0049] The system supports various types and sizes of lunch boxes 220 to adapt to different work scenarios and changing needs. For example, different specifications of lunch boxes 220 can be accommodated by adjusting the robot's gripping parameters or the speed of the conveyor belt 130.
[0050] 5. Reduce labor intensity and costs:
[0051] Automated operations reduce the workload of workers and lower labor costs. At the same time, by reducing manual operations, they also reduce cost increases due to human error.
[0052] 6. Optimize logistics management:
[0053] The application of AGV carts not only improves handling efficiency, but also enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the system, making material transportation more intelligent and orderly.
[0054] Preferably, it also includes a movable frame 120, on which an upper and lower mounting plane and a mounting bracket are provided. The rice scooping machine 100 is set on the mounting plane, and a conveyor belt 130 is provided on the mounting bracket. The rice basket 110 is placed on the conveyor belt 130.
[0055] Specifically, a discharge port 121 is provided on the mounting surface. The discharge port of the rice scooping machine 100 is aligned vertically with the discharge port 121. The rice basket 110 is moved to the area directly below the discharge port 121 by the conveyor belt 130. Thus, after the rice scooping machine 100 breaks up the frozen and clump-like rice, the rice can automatically fall into the rice basket 110 through the discharge port 121 under the action of gravity, thereby achieving the purpose of automatic basket filling.
[0056] The introduction of the conveyor belt 130 makes the transportation of the food basket 110 more orderly and efficient. By simply installing position sensors (such as photoelectric sensors or laser rangefinders) on the conveyor belt 130 to detect the position of the food basket 110, and connecting these sensors to the control system, the detected position information can be fed back to the central controller. Through programming settings, the speed of the conveyor belt 130 can be matched with the working rhythm of the rice feeder 100, ensuring that the food basket 110 can accurately reach the bottom of the feed inlet 121 every time, achieving its automated and precise positioning. Furthermore, by matching the rhythm, unnecessary waiting time can be reduced, and the processing efficiency of the entire system can be improved.

[0061] Preferably, the conveying roller includes an inlet roller 200 and an outlet roller 210, the inlet roller 200 is used to convey the rice box 220 filled with rice to the station where the first robot 300 is located, and the outlet roller 210 is used to output the empty rice box 220 outward.
[0062] It should be noted here that after the first robot 300 grabs the rice box 220 on the inlet roller 200 and pours the rice into the rice scooper 100, it will also place the empty rice box 220 on the outlet roller 210, and the outlet roller 210 will convey the empty rice box 220 outward in the opposite direction of the inlet roller 200.
[0063] Preferably, the rice scooper 100 includes a stirring main body 101 and a feeding hopper 102, the feeding hopper 102 is located at the top of the stirring main body 101 and ensures that the rice can fall smoothly into the stirring main body 101, and the stirring main body 101 is used to break the frozen clumps of rice in the rice box 220.
[0064] The stirring main body 101 is internally provided with a plurality of stirring rods 1011, the stirring rods 1011 are equipped with a plurality of stirring blades 1012, meanwhile, the side of the stirring main body 101 is provided with a driving motor 103, the driving motor 103 is in transmission connection with each stirring rod 1011 through a gear set 104, that is, each stirring rod 1011 can be synchronously driven to rotate by the driving motor 103, and the stirring blades 1012 break the rice during the rotation of the stirring rods 1011.
[0065] Preferably, the two sides of the conveying belt 130 are provided with guide plates 131, the inlet end of the guide plate 131 is provided with an outwardly expanding guide slope, which helps to guide the rice basket 110 to smoothly enter the conveying belt 130, even if the rice basket 110 slightly deviates from the center line when entering, the path can be naturally corrected through the slope, avoiding jamming or blocking.
[0066] In addition, the discharging end of the conveying belt 130 is provided with a limiting stop rod 132, the two ends of the limiting stop rod 132 are connected with the two guide plates 131 respectively, forming a closed end structure, ensuring that the rice basket 110 cannot fall out of the conveying belt 130, and after parking at this position, the second robot 400 can conveniently grab the rice basket 110.
