Shown in Fig. 2, the schematic diagram of its man-machine interface used by this patent cooking methods and culinary art servicing unit;
Its left side interface is position and status information interface, 41st, 42,43,44 it show the schematic diagram corresponding to four heating locations 11,12,13,14 of cooking container 1, it can show the kind and cooking status that four heating locations 11,12,13,14 are cooking, if material is not cooked in the position, idle condition is shown as;Its right interface 45 is kind information interface, can show the dish kind that the cooking equipment can be cooked, be selected for operator, and the kind information interface can also supply the human-computer interaction device into material kind information comprising barcode scanner, touch-screen, keyboard etc..In the lower section of man-machine interface 4, ACK button 46 is additionally provided with, operator presses the button after cooking operation is completed according to prompting, notifies the operation of arithmetic processor 2 to complete.
The cooking methods of the present invention, by taking the cooking equipment shown in Fig. 1 as an example, illustrate the implementation process of cooking methods of the present invention.
The invention discloses a kind of cooking methods completed in automatically or semi-automatically cooking equipment, coordinate shown in Fig. 1, the cooking container 1 is provided with the different heating locations 11,12,13,14 for being used to place culinary art material, the culinary art material for the different heating position that the heating system 3 can be pointed in above-mentioned cooking container 1 is respectively heated, and this method comprises the following steps:
First, step is performed(1), by viewing location and status information interface, idle heating location is found out, such as position 42 shows the free time, represents that heating location 12 is idle, then culinary art material is positioned at heating location 12.
Because cooking container 1 has four heating locations, therefore, to place as needed, for example there are four kinds of different culinary art materials, it can then be put into respectively in four heating locations, or same culinary art material, it is put into the different time on the different heating position 11,12,13,14 of the cooking container, arithmetic processor 2 controls the cooking process of these materials respectively.
Then step is performed(2), the culinary art kind information of certain culinary art material is selected or inputted by man-machine interface 4.For example by recording the kind information of be put into culinary art material, such as fried chicken wing to input coding in man-machine interface 4, or being selected in dish-cooking kind of being listed in man-machine interface 4.
Then step is performed(3), by man-machine interface 4, step is provided to arithmetic processor 2(1)The positional information of material is cooked, that is, cooks material and is located in which heating location of cooking container 1, selects to switch to show cooking status with heating location 12 corresponding 42,42 by touch-screen in position and status information interface.
Perform step(4), arithmetic processor 2 is according to step(2)The culinary art kind information provided, calls corresponding fried chicken wing cooking process from described memory.
The material of different cultivars information, when with cooking, its duration and degree of heating is also different, i.e., cooking process is also different, all different in the power and time length for grasping firepower.
The different cooking process of these different cultivars information, all store in memory, when arithmetic processor 2 knows to the kind information of the material of culinary art, can go in memory to call corresponding cooking process according to these kind information.
Step(5), arithmetic processor 2 is according to step(3)Positional information, judge the culinary art material level of the kind in heating location 12.
Step(6), the operating procedure of arithmetic processor 2(4)The fried chicken wing cooking process recalled, is pointed to the culinary art material at heating location 12 and carries out culinary art control.
During implementation, if culinary art material is four kinds of different materials, it is individually positioned in four heating locations 11,12,13,14 of cooking container 1, is performing step(6)Culinary art control in, arithmetic processor 2 is separately operable different cooking process, controls heating system 3, and the culinary art material in four heating locations 11,12,13,14 in cooking container 1 is heated respectively and other culinary arts are controlled.Another situation is that culinary art kind is identical, but the time that material is put into is different, and arithmetic processor 2 successively runs identical cooking process, and culinary art control is carried out to the material for being in different heating position.
Step(7), controlled by arithmetic processor 2, corresponding prompting made to the cooking status of culinary art material or the use state of cooking container or heating location in diverse location;
In addition, when implementing, human-computer exchange interface 4 can also be controlled by arithmetic processor 2, use state to cooking container or heating location is pointed out, point out which kind of use state each cooking container of operator or heating location are in, for example, just fried again at a temperature of 180 DEG C, or idle condition.
Step(8), when the fried chicken wing of position 12 has cooked completion, heating system 3 is controlled by arithmetic processor 2, terminates the heating of the culinary art material to the position.
Step(9)If there is material moving-out device in cooking equipment, arithmetic processor 2 controls the device that the culinary art material for having completed culinary art is removed to the heating location of cooking container, the position then is recorded as into the free time, and 42 display is switched into the free time.
If not having material moving-out device in cooking equipment, arithmetic processor 2 sends prompting by man-machine interface, is removed the culinary art material by operator, then, and arithmetic processor 2 is notified by the ACK button 46 of man-machine interface 4.Arithmetic processor 2 is received after the announcement information that culinary art material has been moved out, and position 12 is recorded as into the free time, and 42 display is switched into the free time.So, the material of next culinary art in need, it is possible to be put into again in heating location 12.
