Abstract

The invention consists of a hopper section where the desired dish is selected via the machine's screen or a mobile application on smart devices. The system then provides a recipe, according to which ingredients are adjusted. Ingredients are placed in the hoppers sequentially, eliminating human intervention and allowing the machine to handle the cooking process. The machine activates a servo motor in the hopper according to the priority of the ingredients, opening the discharge gate and transporting the ingredients to the cooking vessel via a conveyor belt. Once the ingredients are in the cooking vessel, the machine adjusts the process (cooking, mixing, or chopping) to prepare the dish. After the meal is ready, an audible alert is given via the machine and a notification is provided via the mobile application.This refers to the automatic cooking machine that, in case of a malfunction during this period, such as when the material does not go into the cooking vessel or goes insufficiently, simultaneously informs the user via the screen or mobile application thanks to the liquid level sensor and laser sensor located in the containers.

1 TARIFF Automatic cooking machine Technical field This invention allows food ingredients to be kept in separate compartments and arranged in a specified order. Transferring to a cooking pot, mixing, chopping, and heating are all done on a single device. It relates to a home-type automatic cooking machine designed for this purpose. The machine, Control via the screen (18) on the device or the mobile application (19) on smart devices materials placed in the containers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) are transferred through the transfer channel (8). The ingredients in the cooking pot are transferred to the cooking pot by the motor (14) and the blade (27). It is mixed and broken down and heated by the resistance (11). State of the art As is known, the food preparation process involves preparing the ingredients and placing them in the cooking vessel in a specific order. It requires following multiple steps, such as adding, mixing, and heating. The utility model application numbered TR201802827 describes a "smart kitchen food processor". This The application includes materials that can be used in homes, business centers, restaurants, and hotels, and that have undergone a pre-preparation process. The text describes a system that aims to automate the process of preparing food using ingredients. Patent application number TR201306667 for “Household automatic cooking machine” It has been explained. The system in question consists of the upper part where the materials are placed and chopped, and the materials themselves. The set consists of a funnel that delivers the mixture to the pot, a mixing pot lid, the pot itself, a stove, and a stovetop. After the user places the ingredients in the machine, makes the settings, and selects the program, cooking begins. The aim is for the processes to be carried out by the machine. Unlike existing systems, this invention features separate compartments for solid ingredients, spices, water, oil, and tomato paste; Bowl emptying and vibration elements; liquid and sauce transfer elements; cooking vessel lid, mixing and crushing elements; steam release elements and sensors monitoring material transfer are all the same. It is assembled in a machine structure. The basis of the invention The food preparation process involves the quantities of ingredients, the order in which they are added, the cooking time, and the temperature. This requires monitoring their values. The invention enables these processes to be carried out within the device and Home automatic systems designed to reduce the need for user monitoring during the food preparation process. It was developed as a cooking machine. The desired meal can be prepared via the screen (18) on the machine or the mobile application (19). and the number of people is selected. The system determines which compartments the ingredients for the selected meal should be placed in. It informs the user. The necessary materials are placed in the marked compartments (1, 2, 3, 4, After steps 5, 6, and 7 are placed, the start command is given, and the machine starts according to the defined sequence of operations. It performs material transfer, mixing, crushing, and heating processes. 35 2 For example, when preparing rice pilaf, rice can be selected via the screen (18) or mobile application (19).
