Description

Target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking device and its operating method

[0001] The present invention relates to a simple cooking device and a method for operating the simple cooking device, and more specifically, to a target-type barcode direct water simple cooking device and a method for operating the simple cooking device, which can cook food by instantaneously heating running water to create hot water of 50 to 60 degrees Celsius and then boiling it by induction for use in, for example, a ramen cooker, and which recognizes a barcode for each cooked food and automatically cooks it according to a recipe set therefor using a unique barcode.

[0002] An automatic ramen cooker is a mechanical device that automatically cooks and dispenses regular ramen, such as packaged ramen, rather than simply supplying boiling water to cook instant ramen like cup ramen. These automatic ramen cookers typically stack pre-loaded ramen containers, individually extracting the containers and transporting them to a heater, where water is added. Once the heater has cooked the ramen, it is then dispensed.

[0003] However, in the case of conventional ramen cookers, approximately 1.5 to 1.8 KW of electricity is used until cooking is complete, and to maintain 1 liter of water in a hot water tank at 70 degrees, 500 to 800 W of standby power is continuously used every 10 to 15 minutes, which causes very high electricity bills.

[0005] [Patent Document]

[0006] (Patent Document 1) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-0580150 (May 9, 2006)

[0007] (Patent Document 2) Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1790087 (October 19, 2017)

[0008] The purpose of the embodiment of the present invention is to provide a target-type barcode direct water simple cooker and an operating method of the simple cooker, which can cook food by instantaneously heating running water to create hot water of 50 to 60 degrees and then boiling it by induction, for use in, for example, a ramen cooker, and which recognizes a barcode for each cooked food and automatically cooks it according to a recipe set therefor using a unique barcode.

[0009] A target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a storage unit that stores control data related to a cooking method of a food by matching tag information of a tag attached to a food that can be easily cooked, and a control unit that cooks the food according to a preset cooking method based on the control data that is matched and stored with the tag information of the recognized tag when the tag of the food is recognized, and rapidly heats running water to create hot water of a designated temperature to cook the food.

[0010] The above target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooker may further include a barcode recognition unit that recognizes a barcode as tag information of the tag, and a display unit that displays the contents of the preset cooking method on the screen when the tag is recognized.

[0011] The above target-type barcode direct-water simple cooker may further include a direct-water hot water unit including a quartz module unit that rapidly heats the flowing water to create hot water of a designated temperature for supplying into a cooking container for cooking the food.

[0012] The above-mentioned direct-type hot water unit is configured in the above-mentioned quartz module unit and may include a water level detection sensor that detects the water level of water entering the quartz tube of the above-mentioned quartz module unit in order to measure the amount of water according to the above-mentioned cooking method.

[0013] The control unit can cook the food by reflecting the addition of water or the addition of cooking time according to the request when there is a request for adding water or adding cooking time based on the contents of the cooking method displayed on the screen of the display unit.

[0014] In addition, a method for operating a target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of storing control data related to a cooking method of a food by matching tag information of a tag attached to a food that can be easily cooked in a storage unit, and a step of cooking the food according to a preset cooking method based on the control data that is matched and stored with the tag information of the recognized tag when the tag of the food is recognized, and rapidly heating the food in running water to create hot water of a designated temperature to cook the food.

[0015] The above driving method may further include a step in which a barcode recognition unit recognizes a barcode as tag information of the tag, and a step in which a display unit displays the contents of the preset cooking method on a screen when the tag is recognized.

[0016] The above driving method may further include a step of supplying hot water of the designated temperature into a cooking vessel for cooking the food by a direct-flow hot water unit including a quartz module unit that rapidly heats the flowing water.

[0017] The above driving method may further include a step in which a water level detection sensor configured in the quartz module part detects the water level of water entering the quartz tube of the quartz module part to measure the amount of water according to the cooking method.

[0018] The above driving method may further include a step of cooking the food by reflecting the addition of water or the addition of cooking time according to the request when there is a request for adding water or adding cooking time based on the contents of the cooking method displayed on the screen of the display unit.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, since power is consumed only during operation without using a hot water tank that may generate harmful substances as in the past, standby power is not required, and since an instantaneous heating (or rapid heating) method is used during operation without temperature maintenance, there is no effect on the ambient temperature, and since a quartz tube is used, there is no corrosion. In other words, semi-permanent use is possible and there are no hygiene issues.

[0020] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is no water storage, so electrical hazards are minimized, and for example, for 99 types of food, various cooking menus can be used through memory (e.g., recipe use through barcode), and various menus can be conveniently cooked using basic barcodes applied to food, etc., and by excluding the hot water tank, it is easy to manufacture smaller than existing products and easy to apply the design.

[0021] Figure 1a is a drawing showing the external appearance of a target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0022] Figure 1b is a plan view of the target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooker of Figure 1.

[0023] Figure 2 is a block diagram illustrating the detailed structure of the target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooker of Figure 1, and

[0024] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the operation process of the target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking machine of Figure 1.

[0025] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0026] FIG. 1a is a drawing showing the external appearance of a target-type barcode direct-hand simple cooker according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 1b is a plan view of the target-type barcode direct-hand simple cooker of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the target-type barcode direct-hand simple cooker of FIG. 1.

[0027] As illustrated in FIGS. 1A to 2, a target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking device (hereinafter, simple cooking device) (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention may be configured to include a main body (110), an induction unit (120), a display unit (130), and a food cooking device (140).

[0028] The main body (110) may refer to an external case that constitutes the exterior of the simple cooker (100) as illustrated in FIG. 1. The main body (110) adopts a flow instantaneous heating method instead of the existing (hot water) storage method through a semi-permanent quartz tube inside the case, so that it can be manufactured smaller than existing products by excluding the existing hot water tank. Here, the quartz tube refers to a glass tube made by melting and mixing quartz. Therefore, heat can be supplied to the quartz tube to implement an instantaneous heating method by the heat. Of course, since a nickel-chrome heating wire or the like can be further used as a heating element for heat generation in the quartz tube, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form. A food cooking device (140) for simple cooking using a target-type barcode direct water according to the embodiment of the present invention may be configured inside the main body (110).

[0029] The main body (110) according to the embodiment of the present invention may be changed in any way, including in terms of design, but may be provided with an induction unit (120) on one side where a cooking vessel (99) for cooking food can be placed and direct water can be received to perform simple cooking. In addition, a food cooking device (140) may be configured to include a direct-type hot water unit (200) perpendicular to the floor surface on one side adjacent to the induction unit (120). Here, the direct-type hot water unit (200) may also be referred to as a direct-type water pressurization device, etc., in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0030] The induction unit (120) may be configured to include a tempered glass having high thermal conductivity on the bottom surface. In addition, a cooking heater composed of a heating wire (or coil) may be configured at the bottom of the tempered glass. The induction unit (120) starts cooking upon the user's request after the cooking container (99) is placed thereon and the food and hot water are filled in the cooking container (99). In the case of ramen, it may be operated for approximately 4 minutes. The cooking heater of the induction unit (120) may use an induction heating method, for example, which induction heats an aluminum cooking container (99) to boil water contained in the aluminum cooking container. The induction heating method means that when an alternating current is passed through the coil, that is, the induction coil, an alternating magnetic field is generated around the coil, and an induced current is generated in a conductor placed in the magnetic field.

[0031] This current is called an eddy current, and Joule heat is generated (eddy current loss) due to the resistivity of the heated material and the eddy current. Inductive heating is limited to conductors, and in particular, magnetic materials generate electrical loss due to magnetization called hysteresis loss in addition to eddy current loss, making heating easy and efficient. This induction heating method has almost no fire risk compared to the general electric heating method that heats the heater itself to a high temperature, so safety is improved, and its high efficiency can reduce energy consumption, and it can heat at a fast speed to shorten the cooking time.

[0032] The display unit (130) may include a touch panel and various types of interface units for receiving user commands. For example, as shown in FIG. 1B, the display unit (130) may include a start / stop button for starting and stopping the simple cooker (100). Furthermore, additional buttons, such as an add water button or an add time button, may be displayed for the user to add water or add cooking time while cooking food. Furthermore, the display unit (130) may display the menu number of a food item when a barcode attached to the food item is recognized, and may also display information related to pre-stored cooking methods. For example, options such as adding water or adding cooking time may be displayed. A total of approximately 99 menus related to cooking food may be pre-stored, and the quantity of food and the menu number for each menu may be displayed on the screen. A control scenario via an interface related to the use of the simple cooker (100) will be discussed in more detail later.

[0033] The food cooking device (140) may be configured inside a case configured vertically with respect to the floor surface. Of course, the induction unit (120) may also be included in the food cooking device (140), and the induction unit (120) and the food cooking device (140) may also be referred to as a driving device of the simple cooking device (100).

[0034] As can be seen in FIG. 2, the food cooking device (140) may include part or all of the direct-type hot water unit (200), the (bar) code recognition unit (210), the control unit (220), the simple cooking unit (230), and the storage unit (240). Here, "including part or all" means that the food cooking device (140) may be configured by omitting some components such as the storage unit (240), or some components such as the simple cooking unit (230) may be configured by being integrated into other components such as the control unit (220), and in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention, it is described as including all.

[0035] The direct-type hot water unit (200) may also be called a direct-type water pressurization device, and may be configured to include a water inlet, a water inlet level detection sensor (or a flow sensor), a quartz module (e.g., a quartz pipe connecting the water inlet through which water flowing from the tap enters and the water outlet through which the entered water exits), a temperature detection sensor, and a water outlet (111). The direct-type hot water unit (200) is inserted into the water inlet through an external water fitting hose and flows into the inside of the device (e.g., water flows into all internal tubing from the water inlet), and the water inlet level is detected (e.g., passes through the tubing and reaches the water level detection sensor in the instantaneous heating module). At this time, the quartz module operates (e.g., operates after confirming that water has entered the water level detection / instant heating quartz module), and in this process, safety can be secured through temperature detection (e.g., detecting a heating error by operating the heating module temperature detection sensor). Furthermore, the internal hot water can be maintained at 60 degrees through rapid heating (e.g., rapid heating of internal water), and the heated hot water can be discharged (e.g., direct discharge of heated hot water). In other words, when water flowing through the fitting hose of the external water supply flows into the inlet of the direct-type hot water unit (200), the inlet water level is detected, and the water can be discharged into the quartz module. Here, the quartz module (e.g., quartz tube + water level detection sensor, etc.) can perform an operation for rapid heating of the inlet water. Here, the module may include a hardware or software module, and may typically mean a unit in which several parts are combined to form a single product. In addition, the heated hot water can be supplied to the cooking vessel (99) through the outlet (111) of FIG. 1. At this time, the amount of hot water discharged by rapid heating can be measured using a flow sensor, etc. For example, based on the sensor data of the flow sensor, the control unit (220) may stop the water discharge operation from the water outlet (111). The control unit (220) may control a solenoid valve (or electronic valve) connected to the water inlet or outlet (111) through which water is received to cut off the water supply.

[0036] The code recognition unit (210) may be, for example, a QR code or barcode recognition unit, and in the embodiment of the present invention, it may also be called a tag recognition unit. For example, a QR code or barcode may be used in a scanned form, but NFC (near field communication) of RFID (radio frequency identification) may also be used. Typically, a barcode attached to a food product may include various product information, such as a serial number related to the production of the food product. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, a barcode tag for easy cooking of the food product may be additionally included.

[0037] In order to operate the barcode, in the embodiment of the present invention, an operation may be performed to set a cooking method based on a barcode in the food in advance (e.g., inputting a large amount of the initial cooking method in a list), inputting a barcode setting value (e.g., inputting a cooking method to a food barcode and then inputting the barcode memory), and in addition, an input method may be set on the device itself (e.g., inputting through memory setting after simultaneously touching the operation / add water / heating buttons). In addition, an operation may be performed such as recognizing a barcode assigned to a food on the barcode recognition unit (210) on the front side of the product and improving the problem through an additional operation explanation in case of a barcode recognition error (e.g., additional operation possible through dial setting). The food barcode recipe standard may be based on a value set by the manufacturer of the simple cooker (100). For example, the simple cooker (100) may be customized for each user. For example, in this case, it may be possible for users to directly set the amount of material or cooking time, etc. through the simple cooker (100). In this way, although the cooking method of food to which a barcode or tag is attached is preset by the food manufacturer, users can easily change the cooking method according to their own preferences and then set it on the simple cooking device (100) for use. Convenience stores and restaurants may also provide this service for regular customers.

[0038] For example, let's assume that there are 99 foods that can be cooked using a simple cooker (100). In this case, the simple cooker (100) must operate so that it can cook according to the tag attached to the food, i.e., the barcode, and the cooking method of the food when the barcode is recognized. For example, food 1 may take 4 minutes to cook when the barcode is recognized. On the other hand, food 2 may take 5 minutes to cook when the barcode is recognized. Therefore, the simple cooker (100) must operate the induction unit (120) for 4 minutes when food 1 is recognized, but for 5 minutes when food 2 is recognized. These different operation methods can be controlled by control data. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, cooking a food according to a cooking method that matches barcode information can be understood as handling control data related to the food cooking method. Of course, the control data may be in the form of binary bits.

[0039] The control unit (220) can perform the overall control operation of the direct-type hot water unit (200), code recognition unit (210), simple cooking unit (230), storage unit (240), and further the induction unit (120) or display unit (130) of FIG. 2. For example, when a code attached to food is recognized through the code recognition unit (210), the control unit (220) can temporarily store the code information in the storage unit (240) and then retrieve it to provide it to the simple cooking unit (230). At this time, the simple cooking unit (230) can store control data related to a food cooking method that matches the code information, so that the control unit (220) can perform a food cooking operation based on the corresponding control data. For example, the control unit (220) can operate the direct-type hot water unit (200) to first pour a certain amount of hot water into the cooking container (99) at the request of the simple cooking unit (230). When a certain amount of water according to the food cooking method is contained in the cooking container (99), the control unit (220) can stop the operation of the direct-type hot water unit (200) and then operate the induction unit (120) to perform a heating operation for a preset time according to the food cooking method. For example, if the food cooking method is set to 4 minutes, the induction unit (120) can be operated for the preset time. Of course, various operations, such as operating a timer, can be performed during this process.

[0040] In addition, the control unit (220) can perform a cooking operation by reflecting a user command received through the display unit (130) of FIG. 1, such as a command to add water or add cooking time. In other words, for cooking food 1, the water quantity and cooking time can be preset. Accordingly, the control unit (220) can perform cooking according to a preset food cooking method when there is no separate user command, but when water is added or the cooking time is adjusted according to a user command, the control unit (220) performs a cooking operation according to the adjusted water quantity and cooking time. Furthermore, when a dedicated button for regular customers mentioned above is selected, the cooking operation can be performed according to the cooking method set for the dedicated button.

[0041] The simple cooking unit (230) can perform operations for simple cooking using a target-type barcode according to an embodiment of the present invention. In other words, the simple cooking unit (230) can be equipped with a program for performing operations according to an embodiment of the present invention, and for example, data related to cooking methods for 99 foods that can be cooked using the simple cooking device (100) of FIG. 1 can be stored in a manner matching the code information of the corresponding foods. Of course, the simple cooking unit (230) can also execute a program for interface control.

[0042] For example, the simple cooking unit (230) can perform the following operations as a control scenario. The simple cooking unit (230) displays the quantity and cooking time menu number stored in each menu (0 to 99) on the main display. When a barcode is recognized, the corresponding menu number is displayed and the stored contents are displayed. When the water addition button is pressed, the quantity display (3DIGIT) FND becomes 0 and blinks, and when the jog dial is turned, it increases / decreases by 10 mL, and when the start button is pressed after setting the desired quantity, water is added, and the water amount is counted down by the flow sensor, and when it becomes 0, the water addition is terminated and the display returns to the main display. When you press the add cooking time button, the cooking time display (4DIGIT) FND becomes 0 and blinks, and when you turn the jog dial, it increases / decreases by 10 seconds, and when you set the desired time and press the start button, the induction starts additional cooking by additionally operating, and when the time counts down, when it reaches 0, a cooking beep sounds and it returns to the main screen. The start / stop button functions as a start button when the cooker is on standby, and during operation, it functions as a PAUSE button. At this time, induction and water supply are all stopped and resume when started again, and when you press and hold it in the PAUSE state (about 2 seconds), all cooking is stopped and the main screen is displayed. However, when adding water or adding cooking time, the PAUSE function does not exist and it stops immediately. When registering a new barcode other than the pre-registered barcode, press and hold the Add Water button, Add Time button, Start / Stop button, and Jog Dial button simultaneously for about 3 to 5 seconds to enter the barcode registration mode. The last unset menu number from 0 to 99 will be displayed and the quantity display section (e.g. 3 digits) will blink. At this time, use the Jog Dial to enter the desired quantity. When you press the Cooking Time button, the cooking time will blink and you can also set the cooking time using the Jog Dial.That is, when the water addition button is pressed, the water quantity display blinks and settings can be made, when the time addition button is pressed, the time display blinks and settings can be made, and when the settings are completed, pressing the start / stop button for a long time (about 3 seconds) saves and returns to the main screen. The simple cooking unit (230) can perform such control scenarios.

[0043] The storage unit (240) can temporarily store various types of data or information processed under the control of the control unit (220). For example, the storage unit (240) can temporarily store barcode information recognized by the code recognition unit (210) and then retrieve it to provide it to the simple cooking unit (230). The storage unit (240) can also store barcode information and control data related to food cooking methods in the form of a lookup table (LUT) and then provide the control data to the simple cooking unit (230) or the control unit (220) when requested by the simple cooking unit (230).

[0044] In summary, the simple cooker (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention enables quick and accurate cooking of food using water, and is a machine that can cook by instantly heating running water to 50 to 60 degrees Celsius without using a hot water tank that may generate harmful substances and boiling it using induction. Since it boils already heated hot water using induction, it is characterized by shortening the cooking time and further enhancing the taste of the food. It is a product with excellent convenience and accuracy because it operates by recognizing a barcode. The cooking method can be used by recognizing a recipe set by the manufacturer in the barcode using a unique barcode for the food and automatically cooking it. When operating, high power (2.4 KW) is used for 30 seconds, but after that, only induction operation is performed, and the maximum power consumption is 1000 W, and the average ramen can be cooked in about 4 minutes.

[0045] Conventional ramen cookers use 1.5 to 1.8 KW of power until cooking is complete, and to maintain about 1 liter of water in the hot water tank at 70 degrees, standby power of 500 W to 800 W is continuously used every 10 to 15 minutes, which results in very high electricity bills. However, the simple cooker (100) according to the embodiment of the present invention connects to the water inlet through a water kit, injects water, and then puts it into an instantaneous hot water module including a water level detection sensor. When the water level is detected, the device enters an operational state, places a container at the induction marking position, scans the barcode on the food with a reader, and then performs a touch operation of the start button. Accordingly, hot water of 50 to 60 degrees is discharged through the water outlet (111), and the amount of water discharged can be controlled through a solenoid valve. The induction can be operated 2 to 3 seconds after water is discharged, and the device stops operating when the amount of hot water and the heating time based on the recipe are finished. Here, the solenoid valve means an electronically controlled valve that can be controlled by, for example, the control unit (220) of FIG. 2.

[0046] In addition to the above, the direct-type hot water unit (200), (bar) code recognition unit (210), control unit (220), simple cooking unit (230), and storage unit (240) constituting the food cooking device (140) of FIG. 2 can perform various operations, and other detailed information may include general technical contents, so such contents will be replaced.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the direct-type hot water unit (200), (bar) code recognition unit (210), control unit (220), simple cooking unit (230), and storage unit (240) of FIG. 2 are configured as physically separate hardware modules, but each module may store and execute software for performing the above operations therein. However, the software is a collection of software modules, and each module may be formed of hardware, so there will be no particular limitation on the configuration such as software or hardware. For example, the storage unit (240) may be hardware such as storage or memory. However, since it is also possible to store information (repository) in software, there will be no particular limitation on the above.

[0048] Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit (220) may include a CPU and a memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU may include a control circuit, an operation unit (ALU), a command interpretation unit, and a registry, and the memory may include a RAM. The control circuit may perform a control operation, the operation unit may perform an operation of binary bit information, and the command interpretation unit may perform an operation of converting a high-level language into machine language and vice versa, including an interpreter or a compiler, and the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, at the beginning of the operation of the simple cooking appliance (100), a program stored in the simple cooking unit (230) may be copied and loaded into the memory, i.e., RAM, and then executed, thereby rapidly increasing the data operation processing speed. In the case of a deep learning model, it may be loaded into the GPU memory instead of the RAM and executed by accelerating the execution speed using the GPU.

[0049] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the operation process of the target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooking machine of Figure 1.

[0050] For convenience of explanation, referring to FIG. 3 together with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the target-type barcode direct-cooking simple cooker (100) according to an embodiment of the present invention can store control data related to a cooking method of food by matching the tag information of a tag attached to food that can be easily cooked (S300). Here, the food cooking method may be related to the amount of water and the cooking time. This method may ultimately be expressed in the form of control data for how long to open (OPEN) a valve for controlling the flow rate to control the amount of water and how long to operate the induction for the cooking time. It can be seen that a control unit such as a CPU or MPU executes this control data to actually operate the food cooking method.

[0051] In addition, the target-type barcode direct water simple cooker (100) cooks food according to a preset cooking method based on control data that matches and is stored in the tag information of the recognized tag when the tag of the food is recognized, and can cook the food by rapidly heating it in running water to create hot water of a designated temperature (S310). If the food whose tag is recognized is a 3-minute cooking food, it will be cooked for 3 minutes, and if the product whose tag is recognized is a 5-minute cooking food, it will be cooked for 5 minutes. Of course, if there are new settings such as adding water or adding cooking time through the interface with the user after barcode recognition, the cooking operation can be performed according to the corresponding setting information.

[0052] In addition to the above, the target-type barcode direct simple cooking device (100) of FIG. 1 can perform various operations, and other detailed information has been sufficiently explained above, so it will be replaced with that information.

[0053] Even though all components constituting the embodiments of the present invention have been described as being combined or operating in combination, the present invention is not necessarily limited to such embodiments. That is, within the scope of the present invention, all components may be selectively combined and operated one or more times. In addition, although all components may be implemented as individual independent hardware, some or all of the components may be selectively combined and implemented as a computer program having program modules that perform some or all of the functions of the combined hardware in one or more pieces. The codes and code segments constituting the computer program will be readily inferred by those skilled in the art of the present invention. Such a computer program may be stored in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and read and executed by a computer, thereby implementing the embodiments of the present invention.

[0054] Here, the non-transitory readable storage medium refers to a medium that permanently stores data and can be read by a device, rather than a medium that stores data for a short period of time, such as a register, cache, or memory.
