Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides an intelligent porridge making and selling machine and system, belonging to the field of intelligent catering technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are many types of electrical appliances on the market capable of cooking porridge, mainly used in home and restaurant production. Examples include rice cookers for home use and commercial electric porridge cookers for canteens. Rice cookers are suitable for small-scale home porridge cooking needs, offering simple operation with basic heating, timer, and programmed cooking functions, but they cannot be used for large-scale production. Commercial electric porridge cookers for restaurants use electricity or gas for heating and offer automatic stirring, heat control, and timer functions, meeting the needs of large-scale production. However, they require chefs to rely on their personal experience to control the entire process, including adding water and ingredients and controlling the heat, which is extremely labor-intensive and cannot provide consistent porridge quality.

[0003] With the development of modern new retail formats, numerous unmanned self-service convenience devices have emerged in the market, such as vending machines, automatic coffee machines, and automatic water dispensers. These devices liberate manpower, are more integrated into people's lives, and provide a more convenient and intelligent user experience. Existing porridge-cooking equipment is only suitable for specific scenarios that rely on on-site conditions and manual operation; it lacks self-service sales capabilities and the ability to automatically upgrade its processes.

[0004] Based on this, a Chinese utility model patent (CN206003226U) proposes a system for preparing and selling fresh rice porridge. The system involves feeding refined rice into a temporary storage box, pre-setting the weight of the rice, and then placing it into a rice porridge cooking machine via a feeding machine. The rice porridge cooking machine then adds water and heats the rice. After cooking, the machine is flipped, and the porridge from one or more cooking machines is poured into a mixing pot. After cooling and maintaining the temperature in the mixing pot, the porridge is dispensed into cups via a dispensing machine. This system cooks the porridge separately from multiple cooking machines before mixing them all together, which affects the nutritional value and taste of the porridge. It also fails to allow for the timed and quantitative addition of porridge to the equipment, preventing the control system from adding different main and auxiliary ingredients to the porridge cooking device at different times.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 22As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent fresh porridge making and selling integrated machine, including two time-sharing feeding mechanisms. The time-sharing feeding mechanism includes a base rice bin 1, an auxiliary rice bin 2, a seasoning bin 3, a seasoning box 40, and a distributor 4. The base rice bin 1 is funnel-shaped and made of 304 stainless steel. The outer wall of the base rice bin 1 is slidably connected to the guide rail slide 9 on the support frame 35 through the first base 8. The guide rail slide 9 includes a slide rod 91 and a track. The lower end of the slide rod 91 is fixedly connected to a slide handle 93. The slide rod 91 is threadedly connected to the track. The track, the slide rod 91, and the central axis of the base rice bin 1 are parallel to each other, so that the base rice bin 1 can move up and down along the track. When the operator feeds the ingredients, the base rice bin 1 is lowered along the track of the guide rail slide 9. After pouring the ingredients into the base rice bin 1, the operator operates the slide handle 93 to raise the base rice bin 1 along the track of the guide rail slide 9. A retractable electric actuator 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rail slide table 9 via a first crossbeam 94. The electric actuator 5 extends through the cover 101 of the cadmium 1 towards the outlet of the cadmium 1. In this embodiment, the electric actuator 5 is located at the central axis of the cadmium 1. A filter device 7, which is a stainless steel circular filter or filter screen, is fixedly connected to the end of the electric actuator 5 away from the cover 101 of the cadmium 1 via a hollow connecting rod 6. The filter device 7 has a maximum diameter of smaller than the diameter of the cadmium 1. A first ball valve 102 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the cadmium 1. The outlet of the cadmium 1 is connected to the first inlet 406 of the distributor 4 via the first ball valve 102. The electric actuator 5 and the first ball valve 102 cooperate to control the flow of cadmium 1 and water into the distributor 4 through the first inlet 406.

The inlet 104 is connected to the first water supply component, which is connected to the water supply system via a pipeline. In this embodiment, the first water supply component is a water connector, and the outlet 103 is an outlet slit, meaning the connecting rod 6 has an outlet slit to supply water to the rice storage bin 1. When water sprays out from the outlet slit, the water flow agitates the rice, effectively washing it. After washing, the PLC control module controls the opening of the first ball valve 102 to discharge the washing water. The filter device 7 works in conjunction with the outlet of the rice storage bin 1 to prevent rice loss. When the PLC control module controls the closing of the first ball valve 102 and controls the water supply system to supply water to the rice storage bin 1 through the outlet 103, it also serves the purpose of washing the rice. When it is necessary to drain the cadmium and / or water from cadmium 1, the electric actuator 5 retracts, thereby causing the filter device 7 to rise, opening the first ball valve 102 and the water pump of the water supply system. High-pressure water flows through the outlet 103 to flush the cadmium into the distributor 4. A water immersion sensor is also fixedly connected to the cover 101 of cadmium 1. The water immersion sensor is electrically connected to the PLC control module to control the water volume in cadmium 1. The electric actuator 5 is connected to a first water inlet 23, which is connected to the water supply system via a pipeline.

[0040] Both the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the seasoning bin 3 are made of food-grade PP material. The auxiliary rice bin 2 is used to store auxiliary materials that require secondary addition, while the seasoning bin 3 is used to store seasonings such as sugar. The auxiliary rice bin 2 is slidably connected to the second base 401 via a second slot. A locking element is fixedly connected to the second slot to secure the auxiliary rice bin 2 to the second base 401, which is fixed to the support frame 35. The second base 401 also has two slots for placing the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the seasoning bin 3, respectively. The bottom of the slots communicates with the outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2, the outlet of the seasoning bin 3, and the second inlet 407 of the distributor 4, allowing the rice in the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the seasonings in the seasoning bin 3 to be delivered into the distributor 4. The bottom of the auxiliary rice bin 2 has a conical structure, and the top of the auxiliary rice bin 2 has a square structure. The structure and size of the seasoning bin 3 are the same as those of the auxiliary rice bin 2.

[0041] Both the outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the outlet of the seasoning bin 3 are fixedly connected to opening and closing devices, namely a first opening and closing device and a second opening and closing device. The first opening and closing device includes a second rotating shaft 403 and a Z-shaped first rotating plate 409. The first rotating plate 409 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 403. The second rotating shaft 403 is rotatably connected to a second base 401 located at the bottom of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the bottom of the seasoning bin 3. The second base 401 has a first locking slot and a second locking slot. The first locking slot is connected to the outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the outlet of the distributor 4. The feed inlets are interconnected, and the second slot is interconnected with the discharge outlet of the seasoning bin 3 and the discharge outlet of the distributor 4. One end of the first rotating plate 409 is engaged with the discharge outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2, and the other end of the first rotating plate 409 cooperates with the electromagnet 405 fixedly connected to the second base 401. The second opening and closing device has the same structure as the first opening and closing device. One end of the first rotating plate 409 of the second opening and closing device is engaged with the discharge outlet of the seasoning bin 3, and the other end of the second opening and closing device cooperates with the electromagnet 405 fixedly connected to the second base 401. That is, in this embodiment, two second rotating shafts 403 and two Z-shaped first rotating plates 409 are provided, corresponding to the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the seasoning bin 3 respectively.

[0042] The first rotating plate 409, the electromagnet 405, and the first and / or second slots work together to control the rice in the rice bin 2 and / or the seasoning in the seasoning bin 3 to fall into the distributor 4. When the electromagnet 405 is de-energized, the first rotating plate 409 loses its attraction to the electromagnet 405 and rotates downwards, opening the outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2 (outlet of the seasoning bin 3). The food in the auxiliary rice bin 2 (seasoning bin 3) flows out and, under the action of gravity, flows into the distributor 4 through the guide plate 410. When the electromagnet 405 is energized, it generates magnetic force, and the first rotating plate 409 is horizontally attracted to the electromagnet 405, blocking the outlet of the auxiliary rice bin 2 (outlet of the seasoning bin 3) to prevent the food in the auxiliary rice bin 2 (seasoning bin 3) from flowing out. The PLC control module controls the energization of the electromagnet 405 to control the flow of food in the auxiliary rice bin 2 (seasoning bin 3), which can realize the separate control of the flow of food in the auxiliary rice bin 2 and the seasoning bin 3, achieving the purpose of timed feeding.

[0043] When adding ingredients to the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3, manually move the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 out along the first and / or second slots on the second base. After removing the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3, use a baffle to block the discharge port of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 for feeding. After loading the ingredients, place the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 on the second base along the first and / or second slots on the second base. At this time, the bottom of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 presses against one end of the first rotating plate 409 to rotate. The baffle contacts one end of the first rotating plate 409, and one end of the first rotating plate 409 is attracted to the electromagnet 405. At this time, pull out the baffle to block the discharge port of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3, thus completing the feeding of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3. When material needs to be dispensed, the PLC control module controls the electromagnet 405 to be de-energized. After the first rotating plate 409 loses its suction force, it falls away from the discharge port of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 under the action of gravity. After the discharge port of the auxiliary rice bin 2 and / or seasoning bin 3 opens, the food can flow into the distributor 4.

[0060] The intelligent fresh porridge making and selling system provided by this utility model includes the aforementioned intelligent fresh porridge making and selling integrated machine.

[0061] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0062] The equipment manager sets the type of porridge, quantity, cooking time, and sales time for each of the two porridge cooking buckets on the PC. Ingredients are manually added to the base rice bin 1, auxiliary rice bin 2, and seasoning bin 3, respectively. The water supply device 38 is ensured to be ready, and the wastewater tank 24 is emptied. The PLC control module controls the porridge-making operation based on the porridge-making parameters. When the porridge display module receives the desired porridge selection from the manager on the PC, the porridge-making parameters are transmitted to the porridge-making module of the PLC control module. The porridge-making module then transmits the relevant parameters to the rice washing and soaking control module, heating control module, opening and closing control module, and water supply system. The washing and soaking of the base rice is controlled by the electric actuator and its related components. The addition of ingredients to the auxiliary rice bin 2 and seasoning bin 3 is controlled by the opening and closing control module. The timing of adding base rice, auxiliary rice, and seasonings can be controlled. The heating control module controls the heating device 11 to heat for the preset time to complete the porridge-making operation. The two porridge cooking buckets 10 cook porridge sequentially, and after cooking, they enter the heat preservation stage.

[0063] After the customer selects the desired type and quantity of porridge on the porridge dispensing control module, the signal is transmitted to the cup transfer control module and the cup dropping mechanism. The cup transfer control module controls the cup transfer motor 27 to retrieve the cup and place the cup 39 below the porridge dispensing valve of the corresponding porridge cooker 10. An infrared sensor below the dispensing valve collects the signal from the cup 39 and transmits it to the porridge dispensing control module. The porridge control module then controls the first ball valve 102 on the porridge cooker 10 to discharge fresh porridge into the cup. Once the set weight is reached, the cup transfer control module controls the cup transfer motor 27 to move the cup 39 containing the fresh porridge to the cup retrieval area, completing the porridge dispensing operation. After porridge dispensing, a cleaning program is automatically executed to clean the porridge cooker 10 and related pipes, discharging the wastewater into the wastewater tank 38.
