[0039] In related technologies, food delivery machines typically report the food preparation status by scanning the order receipt, thereby notifying the delivery rider to pick up the food at the store. However, the scanning mechanism, as a key component for realizing the scanning function, occupies a large space in the food delivery machine, resulting in an increased overall size and hindering the miniaturization and integration of the equipment. This also increases the operational complexity and manufacturing cost of the food delivery machine, and reduces the efficiency of food preparation.

[0040] The takeout delivery machine provided in this application provides a rich interactive interface and functions through the screen, which improves the integration and interactive functions of the takeout delivery machine, realizes the miniaturization of the takeout delivery machine, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of food preparation.

[0041] Reference Figure 1This application provides a takeout delivery machine, which includes:

[0042] Housing 1, with an installation port 11 provided on housing 1;

[0043] Screen 2 is located at the mounting port 11. Screen 2 has an order area and a food dispensing area. The order area is used to display the order preparation status, and the food dispensing area is used to instruct the takeout food dispensing machine to complete the order.

[0044] The controller (not shown in the figure) and the printing module 3 are disposed inside the housing 1 and connected to the screen 2, and the printing module 3 is disposed inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller.

[0045] In the above embodiments, internal components such as a printing module can be installed inside the housing 1. The housing 1 provides protection and support for the internal components, facilitating the overall layout and installation of the takeaway food delivery machine. Simultaneously, the housing 1 has a mounting opening 11, which provides a precise mounting position for the screen 2, ensuring that the screen 2 can be securely fixed to the housing 1 and guaranteeing the sealing and stability between the screen 2 and the housing 1.

[0046] See Figure 1 Screen 2 serves as the interactive interface for the food delivery vending machine, displaying order information and indicating the food preparation status. For example, after automatically accepting an order, the vending machine directly prints an order receipt and displays the order preparation status through the order area, enabling rapid processing and recording of food delivery orders and improving the accuracy and efficiency of food preparation. The food preparation area on Screen 2 is used to instruct the vending machine to complete the order, allowing riders or store staff to quickly understand the order status and promptly carry out delivery or follow-up processing.

[0047] In one embodiment, the order area can track order creation and processing status. The order area displays order information in a list format, allowing users to intuitively view the order's creation status, such as pending, in progress, or completed. The order area can update the order creation status in real time, facilitating timely monitoring of order progress and efficient work scheduling. By tracking and managing the order processing process, merchants can identify and optimize bottlenecks and problems in the order processing workflow, improving overall operational efficiency. Furthermore, all order-related operations, such as accepting orders, canceling orders, modifying order information, receiving user communication and notes, and quick replies, can be centrally performed in the order area, improving the efficiency and accuracy of order processing.

[0048] In the above embodiments, the food delivery vending machine integrates order information and food preparation instructions onto the same screen 2, simplifying its structure and improving ease of operation. Simultaneously, the vending machine eliminates the need for a separate barcode scanning module and the barcode scanning and food preparation process, reducing its complexity and manufacturing costs while increasing its overall integration.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the controller can serve as the control component of the takeaway food delivery machine. The controller can receive and process instructions from the screen 2, control the printing module 3 to perform printing operations, manage the overall operating status of the takeaway food delivery machine, realize the automated control and intelligent management of the takeaway food delivery machine, and improve the operating efficiency and stability of the takeaway food delivery machine.

[0050] In one embodiment, the controller may have a wireless connection unit for network connectivity of the food delivery machine, avoiding control of the machine via mobile terminals such as smartphones and enabling independent control and operation. The electrical connection between the printing module 3 and the controller ensures a stable connection, enabling precise control of the printing operation and improving printing accuracy and efficiency.

[0051] The takeout delivery machine provided in this application embodiment offers a rich interactive interface and functions through screen 2, which improves the integration and interactive functions of the takeout delivery machine, realizes the miniaturization of the takeout delivery machine, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of food preparation.

[0052] In some embodiments, the projected area of ​​screen 2 on the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to half the area of ​​screen 2, and the projections of screen 2 and housing 1 on the horizontal plane at least partially overlap.

[0053] In the above embodiments, the upper surface of the housing 1 can be a horizontal surface (for example, a takeaway food delivery machine placed on a horizontal surface, with a horizontal surface on the upper part of the housing 1). The screen 2 forms an angle of 0-60° with the upper surface of the housing 1, such as 15°, 30°, or 45°, so that the user can view the screen information comfortably from various postures, thereby more accurately recognizing the information on the screen and performing operations.

[0054] In one embodiment, the screen 2 is positioned upwards, meaning the angle between the screen 2 and the upper surface of the housing 1 is 0°. Since the screen 2 is positioned below the user's eye level, the upward-facing screen 2 allows the user to view the screen information from above.

[0055] In another embodiment, the screen 2 is tilted outward relative to the housing 1, and the screen 2 and the horizontal surface of the upper part of the housing 1 form a tilt angle of 0-60°, so that the screen 2 faces the user and improves the convenience of viewing the screen.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The mounting port 11 is located at the connection between adjacent surfaces on the housing 1, so that the screen 2 is tilted relative to the surface of the housing 1.

[0057] In the above embodiments, the tilted design of screen 2 better adapts to the operating habits and viewing angles of different users, reducing user fatigue caused by prolonged head-down or head-up operation, and improving operating comfort and efficiency. Furthermore, it makes information display more intuitive, allowing users to quickly grasp key information and enhancing the overall user experience.

[0058] See Figure 1 By utilizing the connection point between adjacent surfaces of the housing 1 to set the mounting port 11, the housing space can be utilized more effectively, enabling a compact installation of the screen 2. Optimizing the screen installation position helps reduce the size of the takeaway food delivery machine, facilitating its placement and movement. Furthermore, placing the mounting port 11 at the connection point between adjacent surfaces of the housing 1 utilizes the structural features of the housing to enhance the installation stability of the screen 2.

[0059] In the above embodiments, the adjacent two side planes of the housing 1 are connected by a chamfered cut surface or a rounded arc surface, eliminating the sharp edges between the adjacent two side planes; when the user holds or moves the takeaway food delivery machine, the contact area between the fingers and the edge of the housing is larger and the pressure distribution is more uniform, thereby improving the comfort of holding.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The takeout delivery machine also includes a speaker (not shown in the figure), which is located inside the housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a sound outlet 131, which is opposite to the speaker. The speaker is used to announce the order status via voice.

[0061] In the above embodiments, the speaker serves as the audio output component of the takeout delivery machine, converting electrical signals into sound signals to enable voice announcements of relevant content, such as announcing new order acceptances and changes in order information, providing timely reminders of order changes. This allows users to obtain order status information through hearing even when busy or unable to focus on the screen, further improving the timeliness and comprehensiveness of information delivery.

[0062] See Figure 1The sound outlet 131 provides a propagation channel for the sound emitted by the speaker, ensuring that the sound can smoothly propagate from inside the housing 1 to the external environment. The sound outlet 131 is positioned opposite the speaker, which shortens the sound propagation path, reduces sound wave loss, and ensures the clarity and loudness of the voice broadcast, enabling users to hear the order status information clearly and accurately.

[0063] In one embodiment, when it is inconvenient for the user to look at the screen, such as when they are busy preparing other tasks or in a noisy environment, voice broadcasts can promptly remind the user of the order progress, such as the order starting to be made, almost completed, or already served. This improves the timeliness and effectiveness of information transmission, reduces problems such as food delays or communication breakdowns caused by the user not paying attention to the screen in time, and further improves food service efficiency and user experience.

[0064] In some embodiments, screen 2 has a reprint area for reprinting order receipts.

[0065] In the above embodiments, the reprint area can reprint one or more previous orders. When order receipts are lost, damaged, or need to be reprinted, merchants can quickly and conveniently reprint receipts through the reprint area without having to regenerate orders or perform complex operations. Moreover, the reprint area is usually associated with the order area, which can ensure that the reprinted receipts are consistent with the original order information, reducing errors caused by manual input or copy-pasting.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The housing 1 includes an outer region 12 and a recessed region 13. The mounting port 11 is disposed in the outer region 12, and the recessed region 13 is integrally connected to the outer region 12 and recessed inward relative to the outer region 12.

[0067] In the above embodiment, the peripheral region 12 protrudes outward relative to the recessed region 13, and the mounting port 11 is set in the peripheral region 12, making the installation process of components such as the screen 2 simpler and more direct; moreover, the peripheral region 12 can have better structural strength and stability, so as to provide reliable support and fixation for components such as the screen 2.

[0068] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 By integrating the outer perimeter region 12 and the recessed region 13, the structural continuity and stability between the recessed region 13 and the outer perimeter region 12 are ensured, thereby improving the overall structural strength and impact resistance of the shell 1. Furthermore, the contrasting design between the recessed region 13 and the outer perimeter region 12 enhances the visual appeal of the takeout delivery machine, enabling its miniaturization.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The housing 1 includes a front area 121, for example, the peripheral area 12 includes the front area 121, at least a portion of the mounting port 11 is connected to the front area 121, and the recessed area 13 can avoid the front area 121.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the front area 121 can be the side of the takeaway food delivery machine facing the user. At least a portion of the mounting port 11 is connected to the front area 121, allowing components such as the screen 2 to directly face the user, improving the convenience and intuitiveness of user operation. The front-mounted screen 2 can more clearly display key information such as order information and food preparation status, making it easier for users to quickly obtain the information they need.

[0071] See Figure 1 The recessed area 13 avoids the front area 121, allowing users to interact with the front area 121 more smoothly when using the takeaway food delivery machine, thus improving user experience and satisfaction. At the same time, the design of the recessed area 13 also provides greater flexibility in the appearance structure of the takeaway food delivery machine. For example, other functional components can be set up in the recessed area 13 or personalized designs can be made to meet the needs and preferences of different users.

[0072] In some embodiments, the takeout delivery machine also includes a speaker (not shown in the figure), which is disposed in the housing 1, and a sound outlet 131 is provided on the recessed area 13, which is opposite to the speaker.

[0073] In the above embodiments, the speaker can broadcast the working status of the takeaway delivery machine, such as whether the machine is powered on or off, whether the network connection is successful, whether the printer is out of paper, order information, and whether the food is successfully dispensed after scanning the code, so as to facilitate monitoring the working status of the takeaway delivery machine.

[0074] See Figure 1 A sound outlet 131 is provided in the recessed area 13, providing a channel for the output of sound from the speaker. Moreover, the recessed area 13 not only ensures effective sound output but also provides effective protection for the sound outlet 131.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The takeout delivery machine also includes a paper tray cover 122. The housing 1 has a paper tray opening, and the paper tray cover 122 is movably connected to the edge of the paper tray opening and forms a paper outlet 123 between the housing 1; for example, a paper tray cover 122 is provided on the outer area 12, and the paper tray cover 122 is movably connected to the outer area 12 and forms a paper outlet 123 between the outer area 12.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the housing 1 has a storage space for storing printing paper. The paper tray cover 122 is movably connected to the outer area 12 and covers the opening of the storage space, facilitating quick replacement of printing paper when the food delivery machine is printing receipts or performing other operations. The movable connection design allows the paper tray cover 122 to be adjusted at its opening angle according to actual needs, making it convenient for users to replace paper and perform maintenance operations on the food delivery machine in different scenarios, thus increasing the flexibility of the food delivery machine.

[0077] The paper output port 123 can be located on the top surface of the housing 1. The paper output port 123 provides a clear path for the paper output, ensuring that the paper can be output in the predetermined direction and position, avoiding problems such as paper jams and offsets during the output process, and improving the accuracy and stability of printing.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The housing 1 is provided with a paper tray cover switch 124, which is used to control the opening and closing of the paper tray cover 122.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the paper tray cover switch 124 is a switch component on the housing 1 used to control the opening and closing of the paper tray cover 122. During the opening and closing of the paper tray cover 122, the user does not need to manually pry open or fasten the paper tray cover 122 with great effort. The opening and closing of the paper tray cover 122 can be easily achieved by simply operating the paper tray cover switch 124, which improves the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, the paper tray cover 122 is connected to the housing 1 by a pivotal structure such as a hinge or mortise joint, so as to facilitate relative rotation between the paper tray cover 122 and the housing 1; and the paper tray cover switch 124 is connected to the pivotal structure, thereby realizing the switching between the paper tray cover 122 and the housing 1 in the open and closed states.

[0081] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The takeaway food delivery machine includes at least a first surface and a second surface arranged adjacent to each other. The first surface can be the top surface of the takeaway food delivery machine, and the second surface can be the side surface of the takeaway food delivery machine. The paper tray cover 122 forms part of the first surface, and the paper tray cover switch 124 is located on the second surface in the area close to the first surface.

[0082] In the above embodiments, placing the paper tray cover 122 on the top surface of the takeaway food delivery machine provides users with a more spacious operating area, facilitating operations such as adding paper and checking the paper tray. This is especially beneficial when processing multiple orders simultaneously or performing batch operations, improving operational convenience. Furthermore, placing the paper tray cover switch 124 on the side of the takeaway food delivery machine fully utilizes its three-dimensional space, avoiding excessive concentration of components in key operating areas such as the top or front, resulting in a more rational and compact layout.

[0083] See Figure 1 Because the paper tray cover 122 forms part of the first surface, the user can more intuitively locate the paper tray cover 122 during operation and open it more conveniently, improving operational ease of use. The paper tray cover switch 124 is positioned on the side near the first surface (top surface), making it easier for the user to reach the switch when operating the paper tray cover 122. During the opening or closing of the paper tray cover 122, the user's hand movements can naturally extend to the switch position without requiring significant movement or searching, improving operational efficiency.

[0084] In some embodiments, the paper tray cover switch 124 can avoid the projection area of ​​the paper tray cover 122 on the horizontal plane, ensuring the setting space of the transmission structure between the paper tray cover switch 124 and the paper tray cover 122; or the paper tray cover switch 124 and the paper tray cover 122 can be arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction, improving the structural compactness of the takeaway food delivery machine.

[0085] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The first surface includes a clearance area 127, which is located between the screen 2 and the paper outlet 123.

[0086] In the above embodiment, screen 2 is typically used to display important information such as order information and operation prompts, and users need to clearly view the information on the screen to perform operations; the paper output slot 123 is where the printed order receipt is output, and users need to easily pick up the receipt. Placing the clearance area 127 between the two notches facilitates tearing the paper while preventing hands or other objects from obstructing screen 2 when picking up the receipt from the paper output slot 123, thus ensuring that users can smoothly complete the operations of viewing information and picking up the receipt simultaneously.

[0087] In some embodiments, the second surface is a side surface of the housing 1 and avoids the front area 121 of the housing 1. Setting the second surface on the side surface of the housing 1 allows for full utilization of the three-dimensional space on the side of the takeaway food delivery machine. Within the limited overall space of the takeaway food delivery machine, the side surface typically has a larger usable area, providing more options for the layout of various functional components inside the machine. Furthermore, the second surface avoiding the front area 121 makes the appearance of the takeaway food delivery machine simpler and more streamlined. The front area 121 is usually the main area where the takeaway food delivery machine interacts with the user; maintaining its integrity and independence enhances the overall aesthetics of the takeaway food delivery machine, making it more visually appealing and strengthening its market competitiveness.

[0088] In one embodiment, the clearance area 127 can be flush with the paper tray cover 122 to ensure a neat appearance for the takeout delivery machine; in another embodiment, the clearance area 127 can be inclined relative to the paper tray cover 122, that is, an angle is formed between the clearance area 127 and the paper tray cover 122 to ensure that the tearing of paper displayed on the screen is independent of each other.

[0089] In some embodiments, the takeout delivery machine also includes a voice recognition module, which is disposed inside the housing 1 and electrically connected to the controller;

[0090] The voice recognition module is used to recognize control commands, including at least one of printing and serving.

[0091] In the above embodiments, the voice recognition module can be a microphone inside the housing 1, or a voice recognition chip on the controller inside the housing 1. The voice recognition module provides users with a new interaction method, making operation more convenient and efficient. It is especially suitable for scenarios where users' hands are busy or they cannot directly touch the takeout delivery machine. Voice interaction is more natural and intuitive, and users can quickly complete operations through voice commands. For example, users can input a specific order number, and the takeout delivery machine can automatically dispense the food, reducing operation steps and time costs, and improving the user experience.

[0092] In the above embodiments, the voice recognition module can transmit the recognized voice commands to the controller in real time. The controller then performs corresponding operations based on the commands, achieving real-time response and rapid processing of the takeout delivery machine. Through the electrical connection between the voice recognition module and the controller, the voice recognition module can work with the controller to achieve more functional expansions, such as adjusting the parameters of the takeout delivery machine based on voice commands and querying order information, ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission.

[0093] In some embodiments, a voice interaction module is embedded in the order area. This module receives and responds to voice messages, making the overall structure of the takeout delivery machine more compact. Within a limited space, it ensures the complete implementation of order processing functions (such as order display and operation) while integrating voice interaction, thus improving space utilization. This is particularly suitable for takeout delivery scenarios with limited space, such as small restaurant kitchens or centralized takeout processing points.

[0094] In the above embodiments, the order area is typically the core area for staff to process orders. With the voice interaction module embedded in the order area, staff can directly use the voice interaction function to communicate or input commands while viewing order information, without needing to move or switch operating devices. This reduces operational steps and time costs, improving order processing efficiency. Furthermore, the voice interaction module can receive and respond to voice messages in real time, making communication between staff and customers, delivery personnel, or other relevant personnel more timely and efficient. For example, customers can inquire about order status via voice, and staff can immediately reply with voice, avoiding the tediousness and delays of text input and improving communication efficiency.

[0095] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with a striped structure that covers the sound outlet 131.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the striped structure includes multiple stripes arranged at intervals. By adding a textured striped structure to the sound outlet 131 on the side of the takeaway food delivery machine, the sound outlet 131 is hidden within the striped structure. When the housing 1 is subjected to external force, these striped structures can act like reinforcing ribs, making the stress distribution more uniform and preventing stress concentration in a localized area, thereby enhancing the overall structural strength of the housing 1. Furthermore, the striped structure can prevent dust, moisture, and other foreign objects from entering the sound outlet 131. Dust and moisture entering the speaker can affect the sound propagation quality and even damage the internal sound-producing elements. The arrangement of the stripes forms a barrier, reducing the direct entry of foreign objects through the sound outlet 131 into the speaker, protecting the normal operation of the speaker, extending the service life of the takeaway food delivery machine, and making the takeaway food delivery machine more aesthetically pleasing.

[0097] The takeout delivery machine provided in this application embodiment integrates multiple functions through screen 2, ensuring full-process control of the entire process from order acceptance to order status monitoring to food preparation, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of takeout delivery.

[0098] In one embodiment, see Figure 2The housing 1 also has an electronic control area, which includes a control switch 125 and a power socket 126. The power socket 126 is connected to a power cord and other connecting wires. The control switch 125 and power socket 126 are connected to a controller. The control switch 125 provides users with an intuitive and easy-to-operate interface, allowing users to easily turn the device on or off without complicated operating procedures, thus improving the ease of use. Through the control switch 125, users can promptly turn off the power when the device is not in use, preventing the device from consuming power or creating safety hazards such as overheating or short circuits due to prolonged standby.
