AI Technical Summary
Existing sushi topping supply devices face issues with sushi toppings falling off during transport, shifting from their proper position, and deformation due to inadequate pressing mechanisms, especially when handling soft and easily deformable ingredients.
A conveying mechanism with an ingredient support section that stabilizes ingredients from both sides, a vertically movable pressing base, and a food pressing section that applies moderate pressure using a vertically movable food pressing part, along with imaging and orientation adjustment to ensure accurate placement.
The mechanism effectively stabilizes the transport of soft and easily deformable food ingredients, preventing falling and deformation, and ensures precise placement on the target area.
