Abstract
Description
TARIFF PELLET-POWERED, SENSOR-CONTROLLED SMART TOASTER MACHINE Technical Area The invention falls within the field of household and industrial kitchen equipment, specifically 5 It operates using biomass-based pellet fuel and monitors the frying process with the help of sensors. This relates to toasters that are automatically controlled. State of the Art Nowadays, toasting is mostly done with heating elements that are electrically powered. This is done through systems. An example of such a system is bread 10 the slices are heated with electric resistors and the frying time is controlled by timers Classic toasters, as defined, can be given as examples. These systems are subject to various patents. This is included in the documentation, for example, in the US patent number US4732105. A toaster that uses electric resistance is described. In these systems, the degree of toasting is mostly time-dependent, and the physical properties of the bread are 15. It is not measured directly. In the current state of the art, there are also frying or baking systems that operate on gas fuel. It is also found in, for example, the European patent document numbered EP1984567, regarding gas fuel. A kitchen appliance used to heat food products has been described. However, this type In these systems, combustion control is mostly done manually, requiring precise temperature and quality. 20 Control cannot be ensured. Furthermore, gas systems pose safety risks and are not suitable for use in confined spaces. It imposes additional limitations in this regard. Systems that use biomass or pellet fuel are mostly used in stoves, boilers, and industrial heating. It is encountered in various fields. For example, Turkish patent number TR2013 / 08456 The document describes a pellet-based heating system, and these systems are used for heating 25 It is intended for use in cooking or frying food and is not suitable for such applications. In these types of systems... Burning control is generally done via temperature sensors, but direct contact with the food is also possible. Physical or chemical properties are not monitored. 1 In the current state of technology, sensor-assisted kitchen appliances are also encountered. For example... Patent document number US20160234567 describes how the color of food can be determined using optical sensors. A cooking device that adjusts cooking time based on sensing has been described. However, these systems... It operates on electrical energy and does not involve the use of biomass or pellet fuel. Similarly, systems that control the cooking process by measuring the moisture content of food also exist. 5 It is known. For example, in the Japanese patent document numbered JP2009123456, it is stated that food... A cooking system that determines the moisture content by utilizing its electrical properties. This has been explained. However, in these systems, humidity measurement alone is evaluated, and color and There is no integrated control mechanism that takes into account parameters such as temperature. In conclusion, in the current state of technology, bread that runs on electricity or gas is 10 Deep fryers, pellet heating systems and sensor-assisted cooking appliances are separate categories. Although they are known separately; using pellet fuel, the moisture in bread is due to electrical conductivity. measuring the color and temperature of the bread using sensors and this data By evaluating them together, they automatically control the combustion air with the help of fans. An integrated toaster is not found. 15 Purpose of the Invention The aim of this invention is to reduce dependence on electrical energy by using a renewable energy source. A toasting machine that uses pellet fuel to simultaneously measure the moisture, temperature, and color values of the bread. The goal is to develop a smart toaster that automatically controls its temperature. The other aim is to ensure the frying process is done without user intervention, achieving the desired quality and 20... The goal is to ensure that it is achieved with repeatability.

It is located on either side of this chamber, where the pellet fuel is placed and burned. There are combustion chambers (2). Air inlet holes (7) are located at the bottom of the combustion chambers (2). located and through fans (9) placed in front of these holes, the necessary 20 for combustion Air is provided. Fans(9), motor driver circuits(12) connected to the microcontroller board(11) It is controlled via the bread container(10) to control the moisture content of the bread. There are two metal probes (8) that measure electrical conductivity. Also bread a color sensor (6) is located on the lower part of the side of the reservoir (10), and on the upper part. The temperature sensor (5) is positioned. Metal probes (8), color sensor (6) and temperature 25 The sensor(6) is connected to the microcontroller board (11). The microcontroller board (11) is connected to the temperature sensor(5) In accordance with the data received, if the temperature drops, the fans (9) are activated to stop combustion. 3 It sends more air into its chambers (2) and increases the heat. Bread color, temperature and electrical When the conductivity values reach the predetermined threshold values, the microcontroller card(11) stops the fans (9) and shows the frying process to the user via the LCD screen (4). It provides a written notification that it is complete. The electronic components of the system are resistant to external influences. It is kept inside a protected electronic control box (3), and this box 5 It is fixed to the case(1) of the invention. 4
